The Shadow Demons

A Name Change

  The Book of Shadows has been lost four years without even the littlest hope in a witch to find it. The little creature looked up at me and told me to touch the cover. I did. The pages started turning violently then stopped. At the top it was entitled Marceline Black daughter of Hades and a demon.

  I stood still unsure of what just happened. Alan stared at the page and then everyone bowed. I asked him why they were bowing. That is when he told me who I really was. Marceline Black, Queen of the Dead.

  He held out his hand and told me to place my hand on his as I did my body started to tingle. My hair turned a pitch black and lengthened, I couldn't keep my eyes open, my head started to hurt as well as my lower back. As our hands met everything stopped. I looked around at my new clothes.  I didn't know where they came from but I loved them.

  Alan handed me a mirror. As I looked in it I saw that my eyes were now black and I had horns on my head. I could feel something on my lower back. I have a tail! Alan's voice was strong yet calm as he told me that I will from now on be in grave danger. From humans especially religious people.

  I frowned because one of my best friends is religious. I saw something move in the shadows. It was approaching me. As it stepped into the dim light I realized it was a he. He was tall with dark black hair, his eyes were a dark oxyn color, he had a blank expression on his face, he wore a red plaid shirt and torn jeans with I battle axe hanging on his shoulder. The battle axe reminded me of a old bass my grandpa made me that was stolen.

  He bowed then stood straight. His eyes met mine and he smiled. I smiled back and I'm positive I blushed. He introduced himself as Marshall Dawn. Alan approached us and told me that Marshall is The Ghost King.

  The creature with the Book of Shadows approached Marshall and he plced his hand on the book. The pages turned to a page with his name. Alan told us that the book left out two things. The first thing is that we are immortal and the second thing Alan said we have to figure it out ourselves.

  Marshall and I heard footsteps upstairs then Cathy's voice on the door. I was freaking out I looked like one of the creatures she wouldn't recognize me. Then Marshall put a necklace around my neck and once it was connected it glowed black.
