taming the demon in me

Sophia's POV °°°°at Alejandro's house°°°°°°

I woke up feeling my whole body aching from last night. I stretch out my arms and legs letting out a yawn while looking around the room. I realize that the room wasn't my own, and then the memories of last night come crashing down on me. Alejandro, the shift, the pain, the screams, and being thrown in the back of his car. Surprisingly I no longer had the feeling of pain or nausea anymore, but I did feel very dirty. Still covered in sweat and dirt from rolling around in the street. I see a bathroom and walk in closing the door behind me. If he's going to drop me in some random room I'm going to use the shower, and if he has a problem with it he can shove it. I look around and see a shelf full of towels. The bathroom is pretty spacious though, having a full bath along with a standing shower across from the bath. Between the two there's a large window with deep red curtains. I turn the shower on using hot water and grab a towel setting it on the sink and strip down so that I could get in to the shower. While in the shower I sit under the hot water letting it relax my muscles and sooth the ache form last night. Then I start to massage my scalp and wash out my messy dark brown hair.

After I got out of the shower I dry off and got back into my clothes from yesterday seeing how that was the only thing to put on. I then dry my hair and look in the mirror to see that my eyes were now a bright scarlet with flakes of violet in them. I gasp seeing my eyes, they where amazing, but also dangerous. The stronger the demon the more exotic of an eye color they have. I'll have to keep them covered with sunglasses when I leave. I then turn away cursing under my breath realizing that if anyone who knows anything about demons would most definitely try and kill me on spot. I shake my head thinking about it. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I leave here. My parents are probably worried sick, I let out a little chuckle, Yeah I defiantly didn't make it home on time last night. The worst part, when I do get home I'll have to explain to my parents what happened. The general rule is that demons are on sight, especially after being turned because of how the become feral. I didn't feel feral though, I don't feel the need to destroy anything, I didn't have voices in my head telling me to kill, and I sure didn't have the energy to do any of that. I had seen it first hand though, on a mission our location to ambush got compromised. Rezz got caught up by a demon, he was going to kill her but thankfully Rezz's great uncle stepped in. However, he was turned in the process. 

We had to just leave him on the ground while we finished out the mission. I can still hear him yelling for help and the hysteria in his voice after the fact when all of the adults realized what had happened. He begged to not be killed, and surprisingly they didn't kill him. After burning the bodies of the demons though, Rezz's uncle became violent. He started lashing out and attacking Demitri's mom. His dad quickly stepped in and took him out however. It was strange though, it had to have at least been a day and i still didn't have any of that. I just feel tired. I then try to run my finger though my crazy curly catastrophe called hair. It was really tangled, but I didn't have a brush and I decided that I couldn't brush it wet. I was alright with it though because I like it when my hair is like this because after I brush it no longer has its curls, and instead just awkward waves. I let out a sigh and walk out of the bathroom after cleaning up. As I walk into the bedroom, I see someone laying on the bed. I walk over to the bed and flop down on the not giving a shit about them. I was starting to drift off, but was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

"Can I help you?" I ask while my voice is muffled by the bed.

"Yeah you can actually, by explaining why you're in my room using my fucking shower." a soothing velvet yet slightly agitated voice says.

I look up at him and his bright lavender eyes quickly widen with astonishment ,and he quickly jerks back pushing me off of him.I  roll my eyes and roll over because I didn't have the energy to do anything.

"I don't know why I'm in your room, Alejandro probably brought me hear after I passed out in his car. I was using your shower because I needed to wash off seeing how I was covered in blood and dirt, besides, It also helped my mussels." I say looking at him with a bored expression on my face.

"My father would not just go about putting some recently shifted demon in my room, tell me what really happened." He states reaching for something behind him giving me a skeptical look.

"First off, don't even bother reaching for anything I have no energy. Second you're a demon too, and did you say that he's your dad?!?" I say confused and shocked.

"Eh, yeah he's my dad. It doesn't matter how spent you feel, your demon has plenty of energy."

" You've been through this process too, so there's no reason for you to be a drama queen I just want to sleep." I snap a little irritated because I started to think about realizing how different everything's going to be now.

"Yeah, you do that, and I'm just going to go have a little chat with my father." He says getting out of the bed.

I snuggle up under the covers, enjoying how velvety soft they felt. Before that guy could leave I decide to ask for his name, he replies telling me that it's Zeke. After he leaves I just sit there in silence; while in this silence I started to think about how this will change the way everyone I once knew thinks about me, and will see me as a monster. My parents will see me as just another demon that needs to be killed they won't have to think too hard about it. everyone will think of me as a killer. No that's no me I'm not a killer. I think to myself.  "No....your not, but I am a killer, and everyone you know will get to experience it themselves." A low soft voice says in my mind. I take a deep breath sitting up, feeling tears coming. Everything is starting  to sink in, I feel so alone now knowing that when i return everyone will be scared of me. "Awwe dear child don't fret, I'll be sure to keep you safe. -Of course that means destroying everyone in the process." The voice comes back with that subtle soft soothing voice. I quickly get out of the bed, and start to walk over to door when Zeke opens it.

 He looks at me, and lets out a sigh pulling me in for a hug." I guess your demon has now made itself known to you. Don't fret too hard, my father wouldn't have changed you if he thought you couldn't control it."  I start to cry a little bit, but quickly stop myself. Zeke rubs my back hugging me a bit tighter. " I take a deep breath, and pull away from him. " Have you looked into the mirror? You not only have bright eyes, but two colors. My father really lucked out changing you. Although, he wouldn't tell me why he changed you, or what he plans on using you for."
