I looked at the mirror and saw my mother's reflection, I felt depressed. I am not like others, i'm a demon... literally. I became a demon 2 decades ago, yet I still look like if I were to be 16. Demons are to be killed when seen, it was a law passed a very,very long time ago.
-- Flashback --
It was the year of 1993, it was New Years eve, I was 16 years old.. soon to become 17 on January 31st. My mother, who's name was Laura, and I were getting things ready, my little brother, Charlie, turned 15 that day. We made lasagna, salad, and a cake. We even bought apple cider. My father, Robert, was a demon. He turned into one after Charlie and I were born. My mother, on the other hand, was still human.
Our socitey was normal-ish, we are divided and ruled differently. We are to show no mercy to any demon. If so, we would get punished or even killed on the spot. Humans, in our society, are born with brown eyes. If anyone found out we were hidding him, they will kill each one of us.
When someone becomes a demon, their eye changes from brown to red for two years. After those two years the eyes change to either blue, green, or in some weird occasions... violet. Demons have incredible strength and are really fast. My father had a mixture of green and blue color. He had to always hide his eyes from humans, that meant he coud'nt work. Dad was the one to stay home and take care of us, People would talk bad about him saying that he never helped my mother, which was not true. When ever we would get sick he would go out of town during midnight and get some medications for us.
We all sat down on the table and started eating, my father could'nt eat human food, so he just sat there.. talking to us. We heard a loud knock on the door, my father went to answer it.
"You?!" My father yelled
"I'm back." The man smirked
He entered the kitchen and stood there, grinning at us.
"Well well... who are these beautiful children?" He smirked as he walked to me and touched a strand of my hair.
"Who are you. That should be the question." I hissed
"Oh, pardon me. My name is Leo." He smiled
"What are you doing here?!" My mother shouted
Leo was madly in love with my mother, before Charlie and I were even born. My mother rejected him, because he was a total asshole. He became a very rich man, he was even a mayor. He would always bug my mother to be his ' woman ' My mother always rejected his offers, she was in love with my father. He got very upset and moved away leaving his cousin in charge, He threatened my mother that he will be back one day, and today was apparently that day.
"Oh, I think we both know the reason." Leo smiled
"I already told you that I am not going to except your horrendous offer!" My mother hissed
"Leave! Now!!" My father yelled wearing his dark glasses
"No!!" Leo shouted
My father pushed him against the wall leaving a dent on it.
"Robert! Leo!! Stop it!!" My mother cried
Charlie got up and tried to help dad out, when Leo vigorously pushed him across the room. Charlie crashed into the table drooping every meal prepared. I was furious, I ran up to Leo and started slapping him uncontrollably. He pushed me away as well, my dad got shoved and his glasses fell to the ground. The present suddenly went slow motion, I looked terrified as I saw that Leo noticed my father's eyes.
"Aha!!! You're a demon!!! You son of a bitch!! Your ass is mine now!!" Leo yelled as he pulled out a gun
"Put that away Leo!! I will go with you, just let them go." My mother pleaded as she walked in front of my father
"How ironic, now you want to come with me. Well guess what sweetheart, no matter what you do.. he's going to die!!" Leo smirked
"Please!" My mother begged
"Get the fuck out of the way Laura!!" Leo yelled as he loaded the gun making a click like noise
"No!!" My mother shouted
She ran up to him and tried to take the gun away. I wanted to run after her but my father held me. We heard a sudden boom, nobody moved... then we saw my mother collapse to the ground. I escaped my father's hands and ran to her, her eyes made contact with mine.
"Behave, ok.... I .... I .... Lo..ve..... you .... guys." My mother stuttered
"You stupid bitch!!!" Leo yelled as he came to me and slapped me on the cheek
He tried to hit me again, when I hit him on the balls. I looked at my dad, he looked like if he were to fall apart.
"We have to go." He whispered to Charlie and I
He got a case full of money and some photo albums. He grabbed my wrists and tried to pick me up, but I snatched my wrists out of his hands.
"Were do you assholes think your going huh?" Leo smirked as he was still on the ground in pain
"Charlie grab your sister, now!!" My father said as he grabbed another case with something in it that I couldn't see what it was
"Come on Bell."Charlie cried as he grabbed me from my waist
Only people who knew me well called me bell, instead of Anabell
"We can't leave her like this!!" I pleaded
"We have to, or else we are going to get killed!!" Charlie yelled
"Ok, ok." I sighed as I leaned in to kiss my mother, and closed her eyes
We all ran out to our car, Leo ran after us. We got into the car and drove off, Leo also got into his car and followed us. Leo caught up to us in his car and started to crash us. We were now entering a bridge, my father looked at us... then at himself in the mirror.
"Look, what i'm going to do is pain full, but you'll live. Your mother and I have talked about this, but never made anything official." He sighed
My father told Charlie and me to sit on the back seat, we did as he instructed. He let go of his staring wheel.
"Dad!! What are you doing?!" Charlie and I both yelled
"I'm sorry." He whispered as he crawled to the back seat getting closer to us
He grabbed me by my neck, and bit me. I felt numb and breathless, I felt extreme heat. My eyes were opening and closing constantly. I looked as my dad as he did the same with Charlie. I could barely hear his words.
" I can't risk getting you guys in danger any more, I love you guys, take care." My father cried
He got back to the staring wheel, and stopped the car. He stepped out of the car and met face to face with Leo, my dad left the car on drive. We were now shifting down the bridge at a very fast speed. I got a glance back to see that Leo put my dad on fire, slowly killing him. I tried to yell but my voice was fading away.... and so was my life. A car crashed into us pushing our car off of the bridge, we were now falling off of the bridge more that 100 feet high. I hugged my little brother and closed my eyes. Were were going to die.... but at least we are going to die together.
