The mother looked down at her child as she sleeped peacefully. The mother who was now a widow sighed and picked her up gently wrapped in a blanket as she headed for the orphanage, In the orphanage a lady looked up and spoke english with a rough accent. As she asked the mother what the child's name was the mother said they could name it, as they were in a rush the first thing the woman saw was the child's stormy grey hair. She hesitated as she said Grey asking the mother if it was okay, the mother replied yes, Since then Grey lived in the orphanage with her unknown past. Years went by as Grey aged to be 7 it was her birthday today but nobody cared they all thought she was a creep. ''Oh Mr.Kitty do you know what day it is?'' Grey said as she picked the ginger cat up setting it down in her lap as the other orphans played around in the dirt and climbing the trees the cat meowed happily ''Oh you are certaintly right! It is my birthday!'' She said as she giggled. Suddenly a group of kids came over and snickered as they said ''Hey look at here it's the cat-freak!'', Grey sighed knowing what was coming next as she tucked her head in her robes as the kids screamed with laughed beating her up with whatever they could find. As they left preparing for dinner most kids not even knowing what day it was, Grey got off and watched as the cat went away she brushed the dirt off her robes while looking down counting how many bruises she had to see if she could beat her last record. She hurried off to dinner clearing the leaves and twigs out of her hair as tears welled up in her eyes but she held them back as she gritted her teeth. As she started preparing for bed ending her 7th birthday she took one last glance at the stars to find that they were still twinkling, she took her usual bed at the end where everything was a mess, from sandals to robes to random stuff she made by leaves was all piled up in one corner. Suddenly as her head hit the straw bed thin tears started rolling down her cheeks and then right after she couldn't help but sniffle hoping the other children thought she had a cold  she buried her head in the thin knitted blanket thinking how horrible her life was, ''How can it get any more horrible?'' she thought to herself finally as the tears dried and all she was doing was hiccuping and taking in the last sniffles she drifted off to sleep as her dreams passed by in dark flashes of unknown things. In the morning as she woke up a bit later then everyone else she headed outside into the meal hut that was now filled with the warmth of the fire cooking as wooden bowls of lamb soup and vegetables filled as orphans gathered around excitedly. She inhaled deeply then let it out as she formed a sigh as she walked towards the end of the line gathering her wooden bowl and utensils. The food was a bit dry but it filled her stomach at least. As she piled the finished food in a stack she headed outside where she would meet up with her cat friends again. As she laughed to herself as the cats played playfully with her the group from yesterday came. But instead of picking on her they picked the cat up and held it upside down, Grey screamed now as she franticly tried to grab her cat back but it was too late the boy threw it against the tree. As blood trickled down it the cat fell down motionless. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she examined the lifeless cat. Anger and hatred swelled up in her, suddenly without knowing she was clenching the boy's throat as he was begging for mercy. But Grey showed no mercy, no not compared to what he had done to her only friend who came to play with her everyday. She pinned the boy to a tree as she came back with a blade made by the finest blacksmith in town that was stocked in the orphanage for protection. As the blade sliced through the boy's throat causing a gush of blood spilling out the other children came out frightened at what she just done. ''I killed someone...''' she thought, she quickly ran to the riverbank wanting to get away from everyone as she was now a creep they always thought she was. What was wrong with her?!?!  As a dark aura formed around her a croaked voice said ''Come join us and you will never face what you face now, you will be one of us and together we will be more powerful then Satan and God combined together, I here by give you the choice to either join us or deny and I shall trust in you to make the right choice'' said the spirit. The words clenched at her heart, Those...Are...The...Words of a.... then they both whispered ''Demon''. A hatred burned in her, her now red fierce eyes said ''Yes''.
