Twisted

Chapter 21

Everything felt dark, cold. I wasn't happy! I was outraged! I don't understand why horrible stuff like this has to happen to the good ones! What on this earth did i ever do to deserve this! What the hell did he do to deserve this! He had a whole life ahead of him! He could have been a great person! We could have been great together! But of course, what did i do to deserve happiness? Was that really the question here! How did I prove myself in 17 years? I guess i didn't I mean I won The XFactor but i guess that isn't  what was expected! He died in my arms. In my arms! I think i might just have rather hear about his death, not be here to experience it. 'Why!" I shrieked towards the forest. This wasn't fair! 

This was the sneem's fault. Not just that one, all of them. They are all to blame. Every single one of them. But most importantly, the leader. Who even was the leader! Where did sneems even come from! I bet at least 10 are watching me right now. I wanted revenge. They couldn't just get away with murder could they? Probably, the government doesn't know they exist. Or do they? It doesn't really matter does it, it's not like i can go confront them about a murdering monster. Especially if they don't already know. So the government's  out of the equation. The vampire council can't do anything, my parents can't do anything, Alex can't do anything, Luke can't do anything. But I, I could do something. But could I fix this? Ever since i turned people have been telling me how 'special' i am and how 'important' i am. I'm one of the special seven. But that's it! The seven! Put together for one common purpose! Of course. 

Put all of them together, we're practically unstoppable. The two -three demons in the front. The two Wolves behind them, and everything else behind them.  I don't know how well a mermaid and fairy would hold up with this, but they must have some sort of magical talent...?  This could work. This has to work. "Go tell your master that the seven are coming for him, and to be ready!" I yelled in the direction of the forest. I wasn't sure if there were actually sneems there, but i wanted to yell it just in case

I took his head off my lap and picked him up. He was really heavy for me, considering my thin figure.  I needed my parents to take care of, him. No way will I be addressing him as 'his dead and lifeless body.' The walk to the house wasn't to far, but we were far enough away to where you would barely be able to see us through the window. Mostly because the road was on a different ground level, but that didn't matter. My hair was draped over his body as i walked, carrying him bridal style, the way which he will never carry me. All of this didn't seem real to me yet. It couldn't be real. He was just, sleeping. Who was i kidding? Sleeping? There's no way. The last steps to the living room were the hardest, seeing that there were three steps before you could actually be on the porch. But i managed. My mom was still standing and talking to David by the stairs when i walked in with his sleeping body in my arms.  "Mom." I sqealed. I didn't even recognise my voice. It was a deep low raspy tone. And the fact that i was holding a, sleeping body probably wasn't helping. 

My parents turned to look at me and gasped, staring straight at my eyes. "Rachel!" My mom shreiked. "help." I managed to say, before i passed out cold on the ground.

My eyelids felt so heavy,  they didn't want to open. I didn't want to open them. I was so comfortable. I felt around, keeping my eyes closed. I was in my bed. I don't even remember going to bed. Actually, I don't even remember what happened yesterday. I forced my eyelids open and sat up in my bed. "Ah!" I screamed. The mirror in front of me revealed what happened. I was a demon. My long blond hair was now black, and my eyes were bloodshot red. Not to mention the black surrounding them. Eyeliner? Contacts? A wig? It had to be. But no. this was me.  I'm a monster. I forced my mind to keep thinking. How did this happen? But then it all flashed before me. Alex, the sneem. "Alex!" I yelled. No answer. This had to be a dream, and i had to wake up. "Mom!" I yelled. Within a minute my mom was in my room, but she cringed as she looked at me. "How are you, uh, feeling?" She asked sitting on the very edge of my bed. She was scared of me. But the thing is, i'm scared of myself, too. 

I couldn't help it, i just began to cry into my pillow. She scooted closer to me and grabbed my hair, braiding it out of my way. "I feel sick and horrible and like a monster and like a murderer and, well, demonic." I didn't want to admit it. But i actually feel horribly angry and like everything good around me, should be gone. I felt exactly how i feared i would, like a monster."so.. is it... true?" I asked between sobs. "Am i.. remembering..correctly?" I was choking for air and i felt light headed. "Is Alex." I couldn't dare say it, but i had to. "Dead?" My voice was barely a whisper, raspy and deep. She just looked at me with the saddest look i've ever seen her wear. So it was true. My vision was blurred and my blood was boiling. i was so angry, so mad. I didn't want to do anything.

"It's true!" I yelled at her. "Isn't it!" I screamed again. "Say it!" I wasn't sad now, or even mad. I was outraged, and wanted to kill everything single sneem existing. But i couldn't find myself to do that, because that would be doing this selfish world good. "it's.. true... He's-" "Who's what mom?" "Alex is dead." She said bursting into a crying hysteria. Alex was dead. Gone, he was gone. "I'm expecting a beautiful funeral. I need to talk to the seven. " I told her. "Rachel you can't! Look at you! You're a demon!" She yelled at me. "Well in case  you didn't know, two other people in the group are demons already, and i make the third. Which is practically half the group." I said. I stood and pushed past her. I didn't want her comfort, i didn't want to be told it was okay. That wouldn't help.

An hour later I had each of the seven on my side, although they probably just felt pity for me, which i didn't want nor need. Victoria and Jax, the two demons, were happy I was on there side. They told me things like 'congrats' and 'welcome to the dark side'. I didn't really see it as a good thing until i really thought about it. Clouding sadness by anger really could be a better way to go. You don't feel bad about yourself, you aren't caught in a pool of sadness. People are too scared to be around you, so you can't hurt anybody. It just made sense why this happened to people. Did it happen to regular humans? Probably not. The whole group agreed to meet at the edge of the forest, which i was obviously closest to unless fish girl lived in some stream in the forest.  

Nearly twenty minutes later everybody was here, and i have to admit i'm surprised. "Fish girl rode on Victor. Demons can teleport, and so can faries. Anna rode right by Victor." Victoria said filling me in smirking. Why was she so happy about this? Everybody seemed strangely happy. Maybe they just really wanted a taste of revenge? I didn't care what the reason was, we were going to avenge Alex, and all the other people they murdered.
