Daughter of a Demon

CHAPTER ONE - Abortion

CHAPTER ONE

Abortion

My mother hated me. But she would die for me. She did die for me.

My father is one of the seven major demons. He is the demon of night, Noctis. It is said that he lurks in the shadows and plays with your mind. I have never met him in person, and I only hope that I never will.

This is the story of my conception. Well, what I've heard of it anyway.

It was dark, late at night, and my mother was in a hurry to get home from working a late shift. My father had just woken up from one of his slumbers and was looking for something fun to play with. A human. And in this case, my mother. He cornered her in an alleyway and raped her.

I hate him for that. For raping my mother and for bringing me into this world of death, darkness and demons. I am a half-demon. A half breed of Man and Demon. I am an outcast. Unwanted by either species. Nearly hunted down to extinction. Nearly.

Once my mother found out she was pregnant, she moved in with her mother, my grandmother, back in the village from where she was born. There she hoped someone could help her, but when my grandmother found out about what happened she demanded that my mother have an abortion immediately. My mother accepted this fact but later changed her mind, for reasons I will never

know.

My grandmother went insane after that and died a week later, screaming my father's name. Because, without knowing it, my mother was commiting suicide. No human has ever lived through the birth of a half-demon. With no where to live my mother was forced to go onto the streets. Over time she grew weaker and weaker until she became very sick. A passing half-demon saw her and took pity on her. Her name was Caneo, daughter of Luna, Demon of the moon.

Caneo looked after my mother until I was born. During this time they became close friends and my mother asked Caneo to be my guardian, so that I'd have someone to raise me and look after me. When my mother gave birth, her last words were that she wanted to name me Celeste, meaning heavenly. Perhaps she did this to defy my father's dark deeds or in the hope that I won't turn out like him.

It has been 15 years since my birth and Caneo hasn't broken her promise.
