"You're wearing all black..?"
"It's not black." His response came back instantly.
"Oh really? What is it then?" Melissa rolled her eyes in response. It was clearly black, how could it be anything else?
"It's this new color, it's just a bit deeper than black, I call it Death!"
"Are you kidding me?" Melissa's tone was flat and she suppressed a groan.

The Devil's Daughter (Short Story) Editing
#45 in teenagegirl 12/30/19 #8 in teenagegirl 12/31/19 Zo Jones thought she had a normal, teenage life: she graduated high school and is now doing her 2nd year in college with her high school friends, that is until her 19th birthday. Since that day, nothing has been the same. Will November 1st ever be a normal day for her? Excerpt: When he finally came through the door, the first thing I noticed about him was his eyes. They were extremely dark contrasting with his light skin. He also had dark, raven hair that went onto his shoulders with black swirl-like tattoos peeking out from his shirt. But the thing that got me all the way creeped out was his facial expression, as if he was expecting something major to happen. "Ahhhhh shit!" Two voices said in my head. "What the hell?" I thought. 'Oh yeah, we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Grayson, and the other annoying ass voice in your head is Dominic. We're both your guardian demons!' He exclaimed. 'Oh yeah, I forgot about them.' "Hey!" Both of their voices exclaimed. Snickering in my head, I finally ask them what's wrong since they were shocked when the doctor came in. "He's someone you don't want to be near. You thought demons were dangerous, ohh he's far worse. Us demons are just lapdogs for the devil. But him? He doesn't take orders from anyone." "Do you guys mind stepping out while I examine Zo? It'll be awhile plus I need a little...privacy." The doctor says with a smirk. My parents say sure and drag my siblings out while I plead them to stay with my eyes. "Oh what a lovely surprise I have here." Like my guardian demons both said, "ahhh shit!" This book includes: -Swearing -Mention of rape -Abuse -Sexual content YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!Complete
