I'm standing in the middle of the stage head held high, eyes completely red and wigs expanded.

Gasps and wide red eyes all that happened after.

A minute later, whispers could be heard.

"Silence" Father shouted "My daughter didn't eat human flesh. Look closer she still has her soul"

"But the eyes" someone said

"And the wing" another whispered

"She was born stronger than most demons and as the change is completed she grown even stronger" he said firmly

Silence was the only thing that flowed

Then several gun shots. I acted on my instinct fast. I tackle my father and knocked Malik and Dad with my right wing. We all hit the ground with a loud thuds.

"I got him with the gun" someone shouted

"Oh, God my wing hurt" I look to find blood dripping from my right wing.

"Were they shooting at Malik?" I panic "Or Dad?"

"They were either shooting at you or at me" Father said

"Relax your... wing" Father said hesitated

A man came running holding a white suitcase a medic or a healer. He kneeled besides trying to touch my wing

I moved away but the pain that shot to my whole wing till my shoulder stopped me.

"Just clean it" I said through clenched teeth so I won't scream.

He cleaned it. With me squeezing my Dads hand permanently damaging it. Hehehe .ok, the pain is missing with my head.

"My God" the Doctor/healer gasped

"What?" I asked. I'm I losing my wing?

"You're healing in a remarkable speed" he said

"Thank?" I said

Father came back from the talking to the guards and the shooter.

"He won't talk" he said "Sarah you have to go to bed, tomorrow we have a meeting and as a princess you have to come"

"Jack, Chase, go with the princess" he order them

THE princess. Am I the only one?

"Yes" Malik said. I looked at him did I say that loud? Apparently he was the only one who heard me.

I walked back to the palace with chase and Jack flanking me.

"There will be a Guard at the door as long as you are inside" Chase said when we reached the room

"Thanks" I went to the bath room to wash my wing of all the blood then I changed and went to bed

I had the best night of dreamless sleep since my birth day.

But I have this feeling that this wouldn't last.

----------------

"Your highness, My lady" I woke up at the sound of Lucy?

"Yes" I mumbled to the pillow

"My lady, you have a meeting with the elders in half hour" she said

"The who?" I lift my head from the pillow to look at her

"The elders are like prime ministers and a consultant to the king" she explained

A fast shower, Clothing, hair and makeup and I was ready in 20 minutes. You can't believe how much 2 extra set of hands do.

I was irritated because my sleep was cut short but no shaking or static energy fallowing me. Only the red eyes.

Big improvement. No complains.

I was wearing halter top to show my wings then wore a formal style jacket with jeans. I was planning to try flying.

Jack and chase walked behind me to the meeting room.

There was a guard at the door he opened the door for my and shaluted me. What the hell. Did he just freakin salute me?

I walked in to find that everybody is already there but they didn't start.

There was a large Meeting table With 12 leather chairs around it.

All the elders are males who look like middle aged but I know it's not true.

Demon has a long long life span because of our decreased fertility. Yeah I sound like Mrs. Tyson.

The elders were form every race of human depending on the place there ancestor chose to live in.

Father was at the head of the table with the only empty chair on his right.

I looked at the chair then at father with and lift of eyebrow. He nodded, so I sat there and smiled at the elders.

The meeting was a lot of boring political mambo jumbo to me. It took about an hour.

"Now, we move to the real problem" Father said. I sighed in frustration, more mambo jumbo.

"This issue started two years ago" he said glancing at me briefly. Apparently he is explaining this for me. I sat up straighter.

"The development in technology in the DNA test enabled some humans to discover us. They blackmail us"

"Now more mistakes happen, people won't always believe it's coincident"

"More and more people know. Now the bigger problem is a secret unit in US army. They want us as a weapon"

"What should we do" the one on my father's left asked Father

"We take their bargaining chip, our secret. We make our existence known to the whole world"

My still red eyes go wide. I look around to see the same shock on every face.

"We have demons everywhere. Politicians, police, fire fighters, CEOs, singers and stockholder"

"We will make it gradual. We start with figures like heroes of Army or fire fighter And a figure of innocent like you" the last part he was talking to me.

I should feel insulted, one of the strongest demons described as innocent. But my instinct told me that people underestimate me is a good thing.

"We are finished here" Father said when I was about to stand "Sarah, please stay" I slummed back in the chair.
