The Demon Of Lust

~Bring Me To Life by Evanescence~

It's been a few days since I was released from the hospital. Morganna and Agmos have been taking care of me. Well Morganna has. Agmos has been taking care of me in his own way which I find intriguing.

I am currently taking a shower in my bathroom and am slowly washing my body. I hear some indecipherable yelling and get out. I carefully wrap my body in a towel and wrap my hair in one. I look at my reflection and instantly look away.

It's disgusting. My face is covered in bruises. And I can't even see the features of my old self. The scabbed over wounds are littered all over my body in erratic directions. The fresh ones still sting a little. I slowly get dressed as the yelling becomes clearer. It's Agmos and Morganna telling at someone.

I'm wearing a pair of black sweats, a black tank top with one of the bras that stick to your breasts and you just yank on the strings since the wounds are also on my back.

I walk out of my room as I yell,"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TWO YELLING AT!?"

Agmos appears and holds a hand out. I take it and the shock that runs through my system each time we touch still surprises me. He helps me down the stairs and guides me to the kitchen. I see Morganna standing there with her hands on her hips glaring at someone.

I ask,"Morganna what's going on?"

The person turns around and it my dad. My hands fly up to my mouth as my shock is evident.

He says,"Demina."

I say,"Dad."

He comes to me and wraps his arms around me.

I say,"It's really you."

I wrap my arms around him and he hugs me. He pulls away and looks me over.

He says,"My beautiful little girl."

I ask,"W-What are you doing here?"

He says,"I told them I needed to come home. That's it was a family emergency which it was. Which it is."

I say,"Dad I'm fine. I've been out of the hospital for a few days now. Morganna and Agmos-."

I realize then that Dad doesn't know about Agmos. I look at Agmos and he's leaning against the wall. My dad looks at him and I see judgement and suspicion going across his face.

I say,"Dad, this is Agmos, he has been a great friend of mine. He's also saved me from being ran over."

My dad relaxes slightly and shakes Agmos' hand.

I say,"Him and Morganna have been taking care of me."

My dad nods and I ask,"When are you going to be leaving?"

My dad says,"Not for the next few days."

I say,"Dad."

He hears the tone in my voice and says,"You know I take family seriously sweetheart and my superiors know that as well."

I know there is no point in arguing so I just nod my head.

I say,"Mom told me to take the master bedroom since you both aren't home anymore."

He says,"That's fine sweetheart. I'll take whatever room is available."

I nod and look down. My dad disappears from the kitchen heading upstairs.

Morganna says,"I was arguing with him about Agmos."

I look up at her and then at Agmos. He shrugs his shoulders and I look at Morganna as a wave of exhaustion and pain hits me. Agmos is there and he picks me up. I look at him as he carefully walks with me to the living room. He's thinking about something and he's very sure about it.
