Deamon within

~3~ 12am

Wind...raindrops... I feel them on my skin. It somehow feels nice and.. refreshing.. I open my eyes and it's dark around me, it doesn't seem like a lot changed.

"Good, you woke up. I thought you were gonna miss your 360th birthday"

"18th birthday", I wisper annoyed. "And by the way, if you ain't gonna go, then maybe explain me, what you are"? I'm kinda done with this..I passed out mutiple times last 24 hours and every time I wake up, this unbelievable reality still is here before my eyes.

"Sure, at 12am. Not before that..it first needs to be the 13th, your official birthday, then my demon, I'll explain."

Ugh annoying

"Besides it's funny making you annoyed hahaha"

I notice I'm still laying in the dirt. Lets get up.. I can't stay here forever. Not expecting trouble, I try to push myself up from the ground. "OUUUCCHH NONNO AHHHRRHHH", I scream. My right wrist hurts so so bad. I push myself further up with my left arm and take a look at it in the moonlight. O my god... it's looking really bad, the bone points in a weird direction and it's a little swollen and blue purple bruised... "It's broken... I think..."

"No wonder, you fell pretty hard.."

Well..this at least ain't a pretty fairytale..but.. what do I do now.. I kinda panic a little. A fractured bone should be casted and I'm in the forest not sure or I'm able to go back soon.

I take my phone out of my pocket.. In a few minutes it'll be 12am.. I've the feeling something bad will happen, uh wait no..worse than this can't.. I sigh, rip off a piece of my clothes and try to wrap it around my wrist as far as that works with one hand. A few tears escape my eyes... Ouch, I nearly forgot how I cried fire out of my left eye.. the burn.. ughhhh. I let myself fall on my back again. I'll just lay this out, until I lose my insanity and go back to my normal life, I think.

"Uhm Ava, it's not like I like to disturb, ow wait I do. But it's 12am in a few minutes and I thought...you might would wanna know...uhh be warned for some things that will happen after everything that already happened today. We don't want you to lose conscious again do we? And besides, you wanted explanation right? And unfortunately I should give that"

"Warning...? Is more gonna happen?! COME ON!"

"Yeah don't worry, it's not permanent, but you'll change for a bit.. it can hurt a little but it'll turn back and you'll be able to look the same after, that is..IF you want. After that you can go back to the city, although, you need to try to hide yourself since you're accused of murder. But you don't want to miss little Sophie her funeral do you?"

"No..". Her funeral. .She's gone..jt's my fault. At that moment I hear a beep in my ear, my head starts to hurt, I feel myself burn up. "What's. .what's happening"?

"I told you, it's 12am you'll change for a bit. Happy 360th birthday my living demon"

I look at my skin and my veins they turn orange and red..like it's lava..I stand up and take a look at my reflection, both of my eyes are on fire totally orange. . My hair is made of flames, my toungeu looks like the one from a snake..I have black horns and some creepy wings. "Is that...me..?"

"Yes and no.. it's you and it's me. Together we're a fire demon. It might sounds weird but..all demons have a second soul, most people thing we've none but..we actually have two. And we communicate help each other control..but you didn't seem to know what you were, so there wasn't control and..when you get 360, you can use your powers and change into your true demon form.."

I feel myself so powerful..then I hear far away, the clock of our city, it's making the sound..telling us the time.. it's exactly 12am, Friday the 13th...my 18th or.. 360th birthday.

12 am...
