Demon & Reapers

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GIRL

About seven hundred years ago or so when I was summon by a little girl without her realizing it so I went away. She kept calling me but didn’t know that I was there and by the time she called for me for the eighth time is when I spoke up, why are you crying? The little girl raises her head and asks who was there. Don’t you know that you summon me here child. I am the demon you keep calling. Girl then replied you’re a demon and I summon you. Yes you did I told her.

 What do you wish for, I ask her. She kept crying nonstop and I told her to quit cry and give me you one true wish. She replied back to me, I can’t help it I miss my mommy so much and I want her back and she has been gone for eight days now and I don’t know why. Is that your wish is to have your mother back. The little girl nodded and said that you can bring back my mommy from the dead. Little girl once someone dies they are gone forever therefore I cannot grant you the wish your asking me if that’s all then I will leave.

The little girl then jumps up and grabs my hand and say don’t leave me here. Demons don’t feel anything unless they found their mates. I didn’t understand what I was feeling the moment the little girl touch me. I stay a few more minutes talking to her. She asks many questions and I answer all of them. I told her to close her eyes and count to five. She counted to five and opens her eyes and asks why I look so different. I told her that I have a few days to spare and I can stay until I have to leave. The form I took on was similar the one I have now but with longer hair. She was six years old when we first met.

 For the next six years we met deep in a forest when she goes out horseback riding. The day she turns 12 years old she came to see me covered in cuts and bruising all over her body. She said that she fell down the stairs again but it was outside. I told her that she needs to tell me the truth and she did. I told her that I will take care of her father but she begs me not to do anything to her father. I haven’t seen her for over a month when I hatch a plan to go see her. I had to wait six months before I could even go near her.

The plan I hatch up was to be one of the wealthy mean around at a young age. I pose as a 25 year old and made it where everyone knew my name. I threw a party and made sure that the little girl I cared so much for was there.  I stand at the end of stairway to greet everyone until she came. I waited a few minutes after greeting her so I can find her. I walk up to her father and ask if it was ok to dance with his daughter. He was pushing her on to me.

 I knew that she didn’t know who I was and didn’t really want to dance with me until her father threatens to lock her in her room again with no food or water for a week again. She started to dance with me. In the middle of the dance I ask her why are you crying? She looks up with such happiness and said it’s you how could this be. I’m sad that you don’t remember what I look like I told her. I’m sorry I don’t seem to remember a lot now and these days. I haven’t been myself. She kept going on how sorry she was. The night went well but I had to dance with other girls and she knew why I had to.

 I waited three days before I was asked to come over to the young girl’s home and have lunch with them. After lunch me and her father went to the drawing room and she went back to her studies. We talked for about an hour until I brought up his daughter. I told him that she was a great dancer and was very beautiful for a young girl but couldn’t remember her name. He then replied yes I know she is just like her mother and she look just like her too. Her mother pasted away when she was just six years old and everything went downhill when she passes away.

 So you know that my daughter has other men asking for her hand in marriage what makes you think your better than the rest he had ask me in a firm voice. I told him that it’s up to you and it doesn’t matter what I say because we both know that you want her to become my wife so you can get your hands on my money. I met the girl two years ago when she fell off her horse and I just happen to be in the area when I heard a girl voice calling out for help. Lucky her that I am a doctor and a dam good one too but I lied to him. I would love to have her at my side and if you want I will pay you every year in a large amount and she will be out of your way once we get married. Sounds good to me and called in his daughter and told her that she will be getting married to me.

 Three days later her father died from a broken neck. He was thrown off from his horse. In the human world we were married when she turn 14. We were married for five years when I told her that I couldn’t stay any longer because I have stayed way too long and I broke many demon laws by just sleeping with her. I also told her that I would stop by every few years just to check up on her. I told her to wait five years and to get remarried to someone who is really human. I faked my own death and left her by herself.

 I waited six years before I came back to check up on her and I learn that she died almost a year after her husband had died she was buried right next to him. No one told me that she was with child. I place her favorite flowers on her grave. I went into a mad killing spree for three days and nights. Her name was Scarlett and she had long raven hair and was a beautiful raven bird that had many colors. I only found out that she was my daughter about two weeks ago.

 The woman who raise my daughter had known that I was a demon and help Scarlett when she was pregnant. The woman had name the little baby girl after her mother. My daughter name is Scarlett Michaelis. She was half human and half demon until she killed herself. She was tired of killing and hurting the ones that are around her so she grab a knife and slice open both of her wrists very deep and cut open her throat. Two reapers fix her up and brought her back to life. Since then she became half demon and half reaper living in a world that she couldn’t understand. The demon in her seems to take over her and having black outs because she doesn’t know how to feed on souls. If both sides agree she will learn both demon and reaper law and new rules when be made. She will learn everything that she needs to learn on both sides to prevent war that’s why we all have gather here for this girl. If the war happens demon and reapers would be on both sides in the war and no one would come out as a winner. Sebastian told everybody as they all just stared at him.
