The Voices.

Chapter One

This morning at breakfast I saw my parents sitting together holding hands...which was very cute but all I could think about was how it would feel to take the knife that was in my hand and slit both of their throats....
How it would feel to have their hot blood run down my hands as they struggled to breathe.
I'm disgusting...I know I am. But it's not my fault...it's hers.
The demon...she's so evil...I can't even have breakfast with my family without turning into a cold hearted monster....
They ask me utterly ridiculous questions...they yell at me...I know they love me but I can't speak a single sentence to them without the demon spitting spiteful words at them.
They always get so angry with me...if they only knew....if they knew....they wouldn't be this way...they wouldn't endanger themselves by screaming at me.
Almost every conversation we have now always ends in fighting....the blood boils in my veins as I struggle to control myself.......It's getting so hard....so very hard.
She tries to take control as I sleep but I've managed to stay awake so she cannot escape.....
If she ever did......I shudder to think.
Is this my life now?
Is my life forever going to be a tug of war?
Will I ever be normal....?

" I'm so freaking excited guys! Liam is going to come to the dance!" Ella said, her green eyes sparkling with excitement.

" Of course he is! You're best friends with the principles daughter! I wasn't about to let my two friends go dateless!" Catherine said hugging Ella and Jessica both.

Jessica slipped out of her grip.

" No touchy! But thank you Catherine." Ella fixed her glasses before returning her attention to her friends.

" But Thomas still can't come, Catherine....remember? He'll be working that night..." Jessica sighed softly, sweeping a hand through her hair.

" Oh yeah...sorry girl..." Catherine said wrapping her arm around Jessica's shoulders.

" Stahp!" Jessica whined pushing Catherine's arm off of her.

" Sorry I forgot." Catherine rolled her eyes.

" You're such a touchy feely person...it's annoying." Leah muttered not looking up from her sketchbook.

" Awe you love it." Catherine said hugging Leah which made Leah's notebook fall onto the ground.

" Let go!" Leah pulled away quickly and bent down to grab her notebook which was sprawled open to reveal it's contents.

" Ooooh Leah! You didn't tell us you could draw!" Abbie gasped picking up the notebook before Leah could

" It's none of your business." Leah snapped, snatching the notebook away from Abbie with a glare.

" Well you're very good! You should enter for the art show." Abbie smiled unfazed by Leah's anger.

" I...." Leah started to say but went silent when a girl named Sarah walked over.

" Hey girls!" Sarah smiled with fake kindness as she tossed her red hair away from her face.

" Sarah..." Ella murmured awkwardly.

No one in the group liked Sarah.

Sarah was the school gossip girl and was always ruining peoples reputations.

So naturally conversations seemed to end when Sarah was around.

" Did you hear about Faith? I hear she was locked into a loony bin because she was raving about her attack to anyone who would listen." Sarah said in a rather loud voice, as to assure everyone heard.

" She was?" Jessica arched her eyebrows.

" Yeah! She was telling everyone that she was attacked by someone who's eyes were so pitch black and were filled to the brim with insanity. A demon." Sarah said seriously as though she believed it.
