Well, That Hurt

I woke up slowly.

My head was throbbing and only one thing came to mind.

One and only one thing.

I'm a demon...

I lay completely still and concentrate on my quickened heartbeat.

I concentrated on it until he slowed down to normal.

Once it was, I aloud myself to search my mind.

I'm a demon...

Nobody decided to tell me. Nobody thought that just maybe, just maybe, that I would like to know something like that.

I shook it off and looked for something else.

It made my head throb again so I stopped.

I felt different.

I felt like I knew more, and technically I did.

I know everything now. I know the truth. The truth about everything that's happened to me. I know the truth...about me.

A small knock came from the door and I sat up.

The large door creaked open and a curious red head came into view.

"Bailey, you're up," Michael said sounding happy.

He smiled brightly at me and I smiled weakly back.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Like my head just had it's own personal earthquake," I said leaning back against the wall behind me.

"Yeah," He said sitting next to me. "Sorry about that, but now the block is gone."

"How long have I been out?" I asked.

"A day," He answered.

Wow, ok then.

I nodded and then glared at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?" I asked vaguely.

He sighed, already knowing what I'm talking about.

"I didn't want to scare you," He admitted bowing his head.

I was speechless.

I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up on wobbly legs.

I stood still for a moment to make sure I was strong enough to walk.

When I was sure, I started pacing.

I gave a humorless laugh.

"Did want to scare me," I echoed.

"I didn't," Michael said honestly.

"Michael, I was told that Hell was a real place two days ago. I was told that demons existed, two days ago," I rounded on him.

He stared at me with wide eyes.

"Now that's scary," I continued. "I was then kidnapped and held hostage. I was told a story about a life I didn't remember. Was told that a block was the cause of that. I run away to come to you, who at the time, I thought was an enemy. All I wanted was the truth and I just keep getting different versions of the same thing. Michael, that is scary."

He watched me intently, listening to everything I was saying.

"Finding out that your entire life is a lie, that's scary," I continued.
