• "Last year I used to get always sick, you see? My mom and my dad had me stay closed up in my room all the time. Hearing other kids play around outside laughing and screaming, it made me feel so lonely. Well, sure I was in a warm bed with soft blankets and puffy pillows, but I didnt care, I didnt care. A month straight in that room was about the shortest ever, it usually takes 2 month or more, thats how sick I was. Happens daily, it sure did. I guess I was just easy target for those little germs huh?" he sighed "Then one day I heard my mom crying and screaming downstairs, it was a terrible sound to hear. She kept yelling out 'the demon girl fed! I knew she would do it someday, I just knew it! Oh dear..oh dear! We're all going to die! Shes..shes going to kill us! Kill us..kill us' My dad tried comforting her but it was like she was in a trance, like she couldnt even see or hear anything else"
    That made my teeth go numb and my fingertips felt weird, like it was pounding, thumping.
    "made me really scared, really scared..." the whole time he talked he never looked up, he just stared at the ground. "then my parents kept an eye on me all the time, not one second would you see them not looking at me. Then a couple days later, my mom told me something about a demon girl.."
    I flinched, my insides tightened.
    "I can still remember her exact words.." he raised his eyes up to me as if he was asking permission to continue, so I nodded yes. He cleared his throat and began "Sweety, Roger, im going to tell you something, something that I think you'd ought to know about. Theres this little girl, no, this little demon who was born just two years after you. Dont you ever come across her, okay? She has white hair, black horns, sharp fangs, and bloody eyes. She killed her parents, you know, in their own home too! Those parents of hers, they raised her only to be killed by her. She truly is a demon and thats why I dont want you going anywhere near her! You got that?! If you disobey me, she will catch you, drag you into her tunnel, and rip the flesh right off your skin! Do you want that to happen to you?! Oh no you dont, thats why your not leaving this room, never ever. We'll take care of you, Roger, dont you worry. Just stay quiet in this room and you'll be safe. Shes running, you know. Shes missing, been gone for weeks! Who knows where she went? Some are searching for her, oh those brave souls. Once they catch her their going to lock her up in a cell under the bar house. They're not going to give her any food, they're not going to give her any light, no blankets, no water, no anything! Shes just going to sit there wrapped around in chains and die. We'll all be free of her curse then..just wait for her to die then you can run around and be free again...I promise you that, Roger" he scratched his head for a few seconds "Then you were caught...I dont know how they caught you but they did. That same day I was free of my sickness. My mom cried for joy once you were gone and I wasnt sick anymore. She let me go anywhere I wanted in the village, except one place, the bar house. I didnt mind though because I was having such an adventure. Got to do what I wanted and didnt have to come home, even if its night time, a real dream come true. I became friends with everybody here, really, everybody. Well thats what I thought until I remembered about the demon girl locked up in a cell. I even believed you were evil because you killed...you killed them. The way other people talk about you makes you sound even more evil. Thats when my mom came up to me and said 'im so happy, so happy! Nobody goes down there, you know. Must be pretty dark and lonely there! Cant tell if its morning or night time, like she cant do anything but sit there. oh what a fine death for her!' that made me really think about when I used to have to stay locked up in my room...that was terrible, absolutely terrible, but then I compared it to you locked up in your cell and right then was when I decided to come see for myself. I waited till it was dark enough so that theres less people and so it could make me look invisible, kindof. Theres this door way down in the bar house from the outside, in the back. Nobody was around so I just opened the door and went inside. There was a couple of turns and so on, but one thing was true, it was dark in there. Every time I blinked, I couldnt tell if my eyes are still closed or open. Thats when I found a match in my pocket. Once it lit, I saw that every wall was made of dark grey concrete. Right infront of me, there was a metal door. I tried opening it but it was locked. I looked through my bag and found a thin stick like thing. I picked at the lock with it and after a few minutes, it opened with a creek. Thats when I was completely horrified. My heart thumped so fast and I was getting a little bit sweaty. I was keeping a hard time trying to slow down my breathing too. My legs trembled when I walked in. To my left I saw metal bars, it took me a long time to actually walk up to it. I saw a figure inside sleeping. You were laying on your right side and facing me. I saw your little horns but that was all I saw. To me, you looked like a normal girl...I calmed down a bit after seeing your face, it looked so...um...peaceful, kind, sweet..uh...human"
    Human? He thinks I look like a human? I looked at my hands, I look like a demon...dont I?
    "I slid a plate quietly between the bars and placed it on the ground. I put some food in there that I brung with me. The plate was really, really close to the bars, but that was as far as I could put it. Then you opened your eyes and it was red, red gleaming eyes. That sent me into shock, I gasped then ran away. I slipped a couple times but I was out. When I was back in my room, I laughed, it was so exciting! I decided to go there again in two days. Well, when the sun was still setting, I was walking around in front of the bar house. Three guys came out laughing, man were they drunk. I was ignoring them, but then when they walked past me they said 'that devil girl learned her lesson, eh? A couple cuts and stings, hope shes having a jolly oh time sitting there all bloody with glass in her skin' they laughed again. I ran back to my house and into the bathroom. I opened a cabinet and stuffed some bandages, gauze, and a mini towel into my bag. When I was out, my mom came up to me and gave me a jar of fire flys, she said she caught them with my dad. I was out running around until my mom went somewhere away from the direction I was going. I ran straight to the bar house, through the back door, picked the lock, then was in front of the metal bars, and of course, you were sound asleep. This time I picked the lock on the bars and went inside. I wasnt scared at all, no I wasnt. I set the jar in the corner of your cell then place a plate of food close to you. I wiped up your blood with the small towel then put bandages on your cuts and wrapped gauze around one of your hand. After that, I left. Then the next day I decided to come again, and it starts off from there"
    I didnt say anything. He said so much, hard to follow, but he didnt tell me what he wanted with me.
    "oh right! I almost forgot!" he stood up "I came to help you escape!"
