Demon of my Demons

Six: Vetis and Lebara

I'm sitting on one of the bunks that's built into the wall, it has a mattress on top of it that's made from boughs. They have a bears fur as a blanket and that's more than my family ever had. We only had a tiny house, which means only two bunks a stack of hay that I have to sleep on. They have more though, they have a wooden table with actually chairs made from wood around it. There's only four but it isn't benches. They have an actually door that's straight and not almost sideways looking. Their house has two rooms, which is more than what I ever had. I'm guessing the other room is there bedroom or bathroom. I'm not sure which. Their kitchen pretty much looks the same as how mine looked. A stove, except there's are made from stone. The fireplace is apart of the stove, and I felt a little jealous how they get a stove and a fireplace. I just let it go back in my mind as there's no point in bringing it up.

Lebara is in front of me putting on a clean bandage on my foot, and of course she cleaned it first as they have clean water. It stung, like really bad but at least I know it's cleaned finally. So maybe there's a less chance of me getting an infection now, but I'm still going to be cautious. I can still easily get an infection or a disease and then what? I'll get sick and die. It will be like I was never even here. I keep thinking maybe it will be for the best. Their all demons and at some point they will betray us, wouldn't they?

The others went outside to talk among themselves, about what I have no clue. Jessamyn and I were left inside with the two girls, which made me feel a bit tensed. I'm not used to them but then again I'm not used to anyone. No one should be around me for this long. I'm no ones friend. Then why did Chax say I'm his friend? I thought. Is it a trick? Was he just saying that to fool me? I don't understand these demons, they don't act like how I thought they would. Chax is friendly and hyper. Cristobal is calm and friendly. Lebara seems to be quiet and caring. Vetis seems to be kind but there's something about her. Sirius though, he's a true demon who acts like an asshole and call you names. What he said before we came inside, i-it hurt. I never take anything he says seriously but that hurt me. I hate him. I hate him so much. This weird feeling I feel when he's around, I confirm it must be hate. It has to be, what else could it possibly be?

"Are you girls hungry?" Vetis asks us kindly.

I snap out of my thoughts and look up at Vetis and Lebara, and they are looking back at us. I didn't even notice that she finished wrapping up my foot. My thoughts literally took me away and I lost myself into them. I shake myself out of my thoughts before I get too lost in them again. I look up at them with an expressionless look.

"No." I say flatly.

"N-no thank you." Jessamyn stutters after me.

"You two are very different from each other. Besides the fact that your both in different society. How did you two end up hanging out together?" Vetis asks curiously.

"It's a long story." I say flatly.

"My father knew Cordelia's father, and w-we went to visit her village. I-I went to meet her, but at first she didn't like me." Jessamyn explains to them.

I still don't like you. I thought as she continues, "b-but we became friends after a while! T-then her village burned down, and my father he-" she trails off upset.

I look away from her as I remember hearing my mother's faint screaming for help. I couldn't help her though, and I regret not being fast enough. No. It wasn't me being fast enough, it was Sirius! He stopped me before I could go further into the house to help my mother! Why though? Is it because he was ordered to being back survivors? Then why not just bring back Jessamyn. Sure enough she would've been good enough wouldn't she? They shouldn't need two survivors, why would they anyways?
