Her Demon

Chapter One

My ears hummed as I watch the dust particles slowly wisp around my room. The one ray of light in my room shinning brightly, catching the particles falling. My eyes narrow and I slam my blinds to shut.

Fuck the light.

In the dark I can show my true self. My ugly bruises and scars can thrive in the dark. No one can see them, they can not whisper with their friends and stare at me in the dark. No one can look away in disgust at my body.

Because no one can see me.

A smile tugs at my cracked lips. It's best when no one can see me. I do not have to worry if they know what I'm thinking. I am a monster but I accepted that. No one innocent and pure can rise from my upbringing.

I sigh as I pick the strings at the bottom of my shirt. The shouting behind my bedroom door slowly fades away as my father becomes bored again.

I go sit in the corner, wondering when he will be sober to realize he has a key to this room. He can come in and destroy me anytime he wants. I laugh at my thoughts. He can not destroy me, he already has obliterated me.

I am nothing.

****
I wipe my face as rain continues to pour heavily. My feet ache as I am walking home from the store. People glance at me but quickly look away when I smile.

I love it when I can see remorse in their eyes. They hate themselves too because they where judging a girl with ugly scars and all she did was smile at them. That's why I smile, to see them become uncomfortable.

But then other times people will laugh at me or continue to look me like I'm trash. Those times is when the thoughts come in my head. The thoughts I know my father passed down to me. The thoughts that confirm that I am a monster.

I squeeze my eyes shut when my ears start to ring and think of something else.

"Help! Help me, please somebody hel-", my eyes quickly open as I walk in front of an alley way. I can see two large figures in the alley way. One of the figures was struggling against the larger one.

I do not know why but I slowly put down my bag that I got from the store and take a step closer in the alley way. Something was pulling me in there.

"I am so sorry, I swear I didn't mean to!" A man yelled.

I watched as the larger figure raised his fist and brought it down hard on the pleading mans face.

"You are pathetic." A dark voice laughed out.

My skin tingled from the voice and my feet carried me farther into the dark alley way. The closer I got the more I could see the smaller man standing of front of a woman. She was trying to make herself small as possible as the man in front of her seemed like her was trying to protect her.

I frown at the women. How could she let this man take all the pain while she tries to hide. They do seem pathetic.

My eyes shoot to the larger man and widen. This mans aurora screamed dangerous. It was different than my fathers. It seems more in control but that's what makes it lethal. His back was to me but I could clearly see he was built as he stood over the two crying people.

He sighs as he steps away from them, "I thought this would have been more fun but unfortunately you are weak."

He glances beside him and nods his head. Two other men I did not see before come out of the shadows smirking with knives in there hands.

He glances back at the now sobbing man, "I don't understand why you are crying. You betrayed me, no one gets away with betraying me. You most have know this was gonna be your fate. You suck it up and take it."

My eyes narrow as the girl clutches at the sobbing mans back. Still hiding behind him even though they were going go die. She still wasn't going to do anything.

I roll my eyes and go back to where I left my bag, but before I can reach it I step on glass. The air gets tense and I can feel everyone turn their eyes on me.

"Go get her."
