Ana - Our Demons Book #1

Chapter One - Meeting Ana

Book One: Ana

"Are you sure you are going to eat that, that's a lot of chicken" my dad says.

I stare at the greasy chicken piece and decide against it, putting the third piece back on the blue china plate that it came from.

I had already ate two chicken pieces I say to myself, two too many.

"He was just saving you from getting fat Amy". An unfamiliar voice tells me.

I spin around to see who was behind me.

There was no one; I turn on my chair to look all around for the source of the voice.

My dad and my older brother Dylan look at me with a confused expression, obviously wondering why I am frantically scanning the dining room for who could have said that.

"Can I please be excused from the table"? I beg my dad.

He soon enough agrees, I practically run up the stairs as fast as I can and up to my bedroom. It's not the biggest bedroom in the world, the walls are baby pink. They haven't really changed since Mom left us that night.

Tears fall down my face as I think back to that life changing night; mom was late home that night. Dad was making dinner for me and Dylan and she told my dad she was pregnant; it wasn't his baby.

And that was that. Dad filed a divorce, since she didn't even cheat once, but seven times!

I don't hate my mother, but I just hate what she did and what decisions she made on the nights she cheated on my father.

I look at the fixed letters on my wall they read 'wish upon a star' I sigh remembering a song my mother made up with those lyrics.

"Hello, I am here you know; just because your mother left you that shouldn't consume your thoughts I should". The same unfamiliar voice says softly.

"Who... Who are you?" I shout, terrified.

"Allow me to introduce myself my dear, I am Ana".
