Demi God - Book 1: Death for those who dare

Chapter 3- The darkness within us all

My hands are shaking and my claws come out as I approach the door. I look through the peep hole and see that girl I bumped into standing at the door. She knocks once more. I open the door and stare at her.

"Hello?" I say as she stands there looking at the floor.
"H-hi..." she finally blurts out mumbling. "Uh can I come in?" I nod and she walks in looking quite anxious. She shuts the door behind her and takes a seat.
"Make yourself feel welcome... I just need to go to the bathroom but I will be back." I say being as calm as possible as I hide my hands.

I dash upstairs and in a rapid motion I grab my gloves and put them on to cover my claws until they disappear again under my flesh. I keep the gloves on just in case and then walk down the stairs in a slow motion to show that everything is 'fine'.

She just stares at me until I finally speak..."What do you want then?" I ask as calm as possible.
"I kn-know w-what y-y-you are." She says stumbling upon her words. I stare at her trying to be confused. She stares at my hands and then finally my claws come out... luckily I'm wearing the gloves still.

She smiles and then says,"OK well I have to go so..." as I walk to the door, I try to open it but a cupboard flies in front of it and blocks my way. I turn around and see her sitting there with her eyes shut. I walk over and watch as her eyes open. They are as black as ever and she smiles.

"Huh?" I say in astonishment with this new discovery- she's a witch. Witches aren't always bad... they don't have warts, they don't ride broomsticks and they don't have green skin or cackle loudly. One thing all Witches have is... power. I was born as a witch and as the years went on, in hell I didn't need that power, I had way more power than anything- even my dad. If I use my magic then I transform so I don't use it often.

"Hello Mayan..." she speaks rather slowly still. She floats up into the air and uses magic to take off my gloves. My claws are black and shiny and my eyes go red with anger. She uses a spell to slam me into the wall and my body is stuck to the wall like glue. She then straps me there with little metal bars and smiles.

I give her a growl but that only makes her strap me tighter. I notice her hair changes to black and black veins appear on her hands and head. Her clothes suit her black hair perfectly.
"So you have the black witch's power... she's inside of you... hah- thought I would never say that." I laugh. She looks annoyed and then the girl freezes up and slowly transforms back into her human self and the dark colour is drained from her body.

She looks scared and I stare at her until she finally says,"You are not welcome in this world. Why are you here?" I don't say a word. She screams,"TELL ME!" I break the metal bars and jump down from the wall, then. I touch the cupboard with my finger and it gets slammed into the wall. Finally, I throw her outside using a bit of magic and then try to transform human again. Although she didn't tell me, I knew her name was,"BYE OAKLEY!"

She tried running up my steps but the force field I created made her bounce frantically backwards into a dust bin. Oh she fell in hahaha! Man am I glad I am not humiliated in front of a gang of boys... I laugh once more, use my magic to quickly change into less dusty clothes and then I leave my protected house- through the back door. I make sure no one sees me then hop on my bicycle and ride to school.

Surprisingly that interruption lasted all night and now I'm really tired but honestly, I'm glad she knows about me... all of them, because they will know they need to stay away from me.

Maybe it's time I try to show them what I'm made of... the world will know my name...
