Water Princess- A Blue Exorcist Fanfiction

Chapter Four- Trapped.

I fell asleep thinking about my new friends and about leaving this place. I dreamt about starting at the school and being laughed at for being different. I awoke with a start. A nervous feeling finally hit me. I could feel butterflies struggling to get out of stomach kicking and flapping their wings. What if no one likes me? What if I can't make friends? I bet I'll get lost in the school. I won't know anyone. I'll be alone again. I shook off those thoughts. It'll be fine. I know I'll make friends. It's a new start for me. It was only 4:15 in the morning.

I got up and stretched. I changed my clothes and quietly snuck out to take a morning stroll. I began walking down the deserted road until I came upon the familiar forest. Tall trees hid me from everyone and allowed me some peace and silence. I entered the forest, but something felt different. An acorn feel behind me. Naturally, I turned around and I at once regretted it. I felt something wrap around my legs. I couldn't move them at all. I looked up to see a figure that appeared in most of my nightmares. 

"Hello! Hello! I'm back! It's your favorite demon, Yokai," He said with a charming voice, a voice like a TV show host would have. "As you can see you're stuck. You can't get out. I think I should just leave you here to rot while I kill someone else in the orphanage. News'll spread and your dear exorcist friends, otherwise know as the "Spawns of Satan", will leave you. HAHAHA!" He cackled foully .

"Why are you doing this to me? I didn't do anything. And, what do you mean the "Spawns of Satan?" I asked. I was trapped and I didn't know what was going on.

"Oh dear, don't tell me that your so called "friends" didn't even tell you that Satan was their father. I thought that all friends shared secrets, especially ones like that. I guess that they don't even consider you as their friend. They're not going to take you to any school. They're going to take you to the dungeon where they keep all their demons."

"No they won't! I know that they're my friends, they said so themselves! I'm n-"

"Of course they would say that. How are they supposed to lure you into the dungeons if they don't pretend to be your friends?"

I felt my spirits sink low. Maybe he's right. There's no way that exorcists could become my friends. Wait, he said that they were the "Spawns of Satan" , then why aren't they in the dungeon?

"What do you mean they're are the "Spawns of Satan?" I asked.

"It's just as I told you, Satan is their father. You really are a stupid girl."

"Then why aren't they in the dungeons?"

"They're a secret. Only a few humans know this secret. Dear, imagine what it would be like if everyone knew. 'Oh, mommy look Satan's son! Oh no, Mommy! He's going to kill us! Ah!' Bwahaha-"

"Tell me, why are you doing this. First you killed a person that I held very dear. Now you're keeping me trapped here. Why?"

"Why? Why! Oh, I'll tell you why! Had you not been born the demons could rule over Satan!"

"What do you mean?"

"When all eight demon princes take their place on the throne Satan's power will cease. The demon princes will rule over Gehenna. We couldn't have another prince to make it eight though. No! We had to have a princess be born!"

"Are you a prince?"

"Gehenna's Gates no! I work for a prince. Do you know how much I could get away with if my prince were to become a ruler? A lot. I could get away with a lot of things."

"Do you think I wanted to be born a demon? I didn't!"

"Then end it all."

"What?!"
