ch. 2 - The truth

*sky's POV*

As soon as we arrived home, I went straight to our basement. Mom always stored some old books down here. Maybe, the books can tell me what Mom has been hiding from me. I have always been that kind of person that needs to know the truth, or else not knowing - will drive me insane.

As I was looking through the books, I came across this brown book with a heart shaped crest in front of it. I'm not really sure why but, this book stood out for some reason, like it was calling my name. My curiosity got the best of me, and I took the book and opened it. I looked through the book but, couldn't find anything.

But, when I flipped the next page, something caught my eye - a prophecy. The prophecy states, that a princess would fall in love with a demon, and have a beautiful baby girl. By the time the baby girl is 18, she will take on her true demon form, her heart will turn into darkness, and she will be queen of Gehenna. The name of this baby girl is - Sky Nightingale

My body froze as I saw my name on the prophecy. I felt as though the air was thinning more and more, making it harder to breathe. Surprisingly, I didn't feel mad or sad. But, I was hurt and shocked. I can't believe my Mom would hide this from me. I thought we were closer than that.

Is that what she meant by 'we can't let that happen' and 'she doesn't deserve this kind of life' Was she trying to protect me from this all along? I grabbed the book and went upstairs, to see my Mom cooking dinner. She turned around, and noticed that I was standing there and said

"Oh! honey dinner is almost- " I cut her off before she said anything else

"Why didn't you tell me that I was a demon?" I waited for her answer as she was staring at me with a blank expression on her face.

"So, are you gonna tell me or not?" I spat out.

"Let's go sit in the living room." I nodded, we went to the living room, and we sat down. My Mom took a deep breath, as I was staring at her with hurt in my eyes. Then, she started talking.

"The reason I didn't tell you that you were a demon, is because you were too young to understand everything. I wanted to tell you when the time was right." I rolled my eyes and said

"Well, to late for that now." she looks at me slightly hurt by my tone of voice but, still continues talking.

"Back at Gehenna, your Dad was the most feared demon of all. But, that didn't stop me from falling in love with him. He gave me everything that I wanted. Love, passion, adventure, and romance. We eventually got married, and had you. During the time I was pregnant with you, I was getting sick a lot. Your Father and I thought that something was wrong with you so, we went to your aunt Eda, a master with healing spells. She took a look at my stomach, and found out that you were a demon. Then she told us about the prophecy about you, and everything changed. Your Father started to make a plan to use you to, make the human world the 'new Gehenna' . When I found out about his plan, I fled with you. Ever since that day, he's been trying to find a way to get to you. That's why I have been home schooling you for most of your life, so that he wouldn't find you so easily or, try to get a demon to find you and bring you back to Gehenna. "

I sat there staring at her in shock, trying to process everything that she told me.

"You still should've told me the truth." she looked at me and sighed

"Like I said before, I didn't tell you the truth because, you weren't ready to know." I stood up and said

"Maybe I was or maybe I wasn't but, you could have trained me to fight so, if I ever come across him, I could defend myself. " She looked like she wanted to say something. But, before she could, I walked away to my room, and started packing for the academy.
