The Demon Within.

Chapter One

Authors note/ In this Hades is a demon, while Persephone is a human that falls in love with him.

I looked out of he window at the sun rising. It was only now that I realized what happened. The smudge on the corner of the window made it hard to look at the tree that was my escape when my mind went dark.
I could always remember when I went dark. I knew what I was doing, but I could never control the darkness, it took over completely. I wanted to be rid of it.
"He told me this would happen." My mother said placing a cup of caramel coffee in front of me.
I nodded. My father, that was who she was talking about. Although I had never met him, and probably never would, Hades. Unlike the Greek stories he wasn't a god, he was a demon, he controlled all of the demons. My mother, Persephone, human. She had fell in love with him when she was a teen and eventually had me.  Yet he had to leave her in order to run his kingdom of darkness and death.
I have seen pictures of him when I was little. His handsome sleek features reminded me of myself, his pale white skin plastered itself onto me the moment I was conceived. My dark brown hair coming once again from him. Most of my features I obtained from him.
"Did he tell you that I would want to be rid of it?" I asked her my voice barley above a whisper. "That itd haunt my life, that this demon inside of me would make me want to hurt others." I held her hand looking into her pale blue eyes. Her blonde hair was tangled yet managed to still look good. "There is someone who can help me. I know there is. there has to be."
She sighed and nodded, she was one of the victims of my many demon outbursts.
"I know how to keep myself safe. I promise I will be ok. I know how to take care of myself. I just cant continue living like this. I know you loved dad being a demon, but I don't like the demon part of me. I don't want to end up hurting someone that I care about. I don't want to hurt you mom."
She nodded and took my hand in hers.
"I trust you. There has never been a moment that I genuinely don't believed that you hate this part of you. I know that your father does love you, and maybe one day you can meet him, and maybe he has an answer for you. But he left because he has a kingdom to run, even if   It is a kingdom of demons. But I know that he loves you." She reached with her free hand under her shirt, pulling out a long necklace, I was a silver chain with a round. Pendant, on it was a blue gemstone, I couldn't tell what type, it had silver wrapped around it.
"Your father gave this for me." She took her hand off of mine and took the necklace off and hooked it around my neck letting it rest on my black shirt. "I think it is time that you have it. So maybe when you do meet him he knows it is you."
"Has he ever had any other children."
She looked at me for a second. Then shook her head.
"No, I know he has been in live with other people, but he never once had a child with them. I know that for sure."
I nodded. Thinking about it. I knew that my father was older than some of the civil actions on earth. So there was no way that before my mother he hadn't been in love.
I looked into my mothers eyes, I could see the tears starting to form. This had been building up for a while, we both knew that if I didn't accept this side of me I would have to leave in order to find some help.
I pulled her into my arms as she started balling, and I couldn't help but shed some tears too.
She pulled away holding me at arms length and wiping her tears away and put a smile on her pale face.
"Make sure to call, keep in touch. And one more thing. If you fall in love during this journey, if you meet someone that ends up meaning the world to you, you better bet your bottom I will find out and I will meet them, if I have to hunt you down to hell to meet them I will, and I wont be happy that you didn't bring them home to meet your mother."
I laughed at this. I knew that it would possibly be on of the last funny moments that me and her would have for a while face to face.
"Stay safe." She said kissing me on he cheek.
"I will I promise."I said wiping away tears. She handed me my bag as we both stood up.  I looked around the small living room that I had grown up in my entire life. It never got better than this. Making pillow forts as a child. Tea parties with the few friends I did have.
Pictures of me all throughout my school years hung on the walls for the guests we did have to see. I had graduated early in order to take this task. I knew that I had to.
I looked back to my mother who was holding a set of keys out for me. Tears started welling up in my eyes as I took them and gave her one more hug. I knew this wouldn't be an easy goodbye.
I looked out into the driveway where a brand new white Volkswagen waited for me. I slung my bag on and opened the door walking outside. I took a deep breath and looked back to my mom giving her a smile.
I turned around and took a step towards the car. Taking one more deep breath.
And started my journey.
