Until The Clock Stikes (NACS Remake) by JellyBeanniee

My name is Demia Marie Johnson. My father is- was Grigori Damon Johnson I was seven when he remarried, before that I had never known a mothers love. I still don't, but she gave me a sister. My father used to read stories to Lucy and me when we were young. Our favorite was about the boy with the golden egg. 'There was once a Countryman who possessed the most wonderful Goose you can imagine, for every day when he visited the nest, the Goose had laid a beautiful, glittering, golden egg.' It's the one about life being more than what it seems. Or maybe I'm reading to much into it. It could be about the world's most expensive omelet.
