Hi. My name is Katie Slim. I'm like every other teenage girl. I go to school, I like to look pretty and I love to tease and flirt with boys. My friend Ella is like any awkward girl you get in school. She always completes her work, she never goes to parties and she isn't the best at flirting. My friend Jack is like most boys. Flirts with girls, short attention span and not the brightest tool in the shed. We are all perfectly normal….except for one thing. We are all demons.
I'll give you a second to let that sink in. Yes we are all demons. Me, Ella and Jack. We died a long time ago caused by the black plague in medieval times in England. The plague was a creation of the devil and any one killed by it was sent to hell. Not for being bad but for being trapped by Satan. God and his angels attempted to return us to the living but it was impossible. Instead he gave us something else. Anyone who died by the plague was able to walk among the living as demons. We are immortal.
We have all the powers of a normal sin demon but we have our own bodies unlike other demons that have to possess living beings to walk on earths grounds. Jack and Ella's parents also died by the plague along with Ella's sister so they all become living demons as well however my parents were lucky enough to live so I live in an orphanage.
Some plague demons embraced that their demons and cause havoc whilst others like me, Jack and Ella try to live normal lives….well as normal as possible. We hunt down other demons.
50 years ago we all moved to America. We previously lived in Spain before that.
"Hey Katie" My human friend Emily smiles bouncing up to me. She has dirty blonde hair and beautiful bright blue eyes like little sapphires. We haven't told her about are…..condition. Well how are you supposed to?
My hair is a bright blonde and my eyes are a dark green…well they're naturally completely black like most demons but in my human disguise they are green.
"Emily did we have Religious studies today" I ask
"I think so. Next actually" she replies smiling
I nod my head and walk to class. Once I get to my lesson I sit next to Jack whilst Ella sits in front of us with Emily.
"Hey Katie" flirts the school jock Michael "Nice ass"
"Screw you" I hiss
He looks angry "Burn in hell"
Jack laughs and whispers to me "Been there, done that"
I giggle slightly at his comment. Michael leaves as the teacher walks into the classroom. Miss Naris. Her black hair is tyed back in a bun like usual and she crinkles her long witch nose. She has a large brown mole which adds to her scariness. She is the only mean Religion teacher in the school. The other ones are nice and more importantly attractive. This is also the only lesson Ella hates, and yet she still gets good marks.
After 30 minutes of talking about the bible Selena Morgan, a young teenager in my class, asks miss about what it's like in hell.
"Well how should I know?" Miss Naris hisses "I've never been and I don't plan on going there either"
"Yes, but miss how can you stop yourself from going to hell" Selena asks stroking her long dyed red hair
"Don't get killed by plague" Jack snickers and me and Ella grin
"What on earth are you talking about?" Miss Naris growls. Jack shrugs his shoulders "Don't give me that I don't care look young man. Go stand outside"
Jack groans before standing up and leaving the room. Selena continues her story on what she believes hell is like.
"I imagine it's just a massive hole filled with fire and all sinners are chained deep in the burning fire"
That's a poor description. Sure hell is filled with fire but the sinners aren't chained up. Hell is like earth after an apocalypse. Like the entire earth was destroyed by all disasters combined into one. It's quite horrific. Hell is always changing. When I first went there it was of course a post-apocalyptic earth in 1664 however now I presume it looks like a destroyed earth in the 21st century.
"And what about demons" Selena asks the class "I think demons look like a massive bat creature"
I can't judge what a natural demon looks like. There are several types. Black eyes are the most powerful of demons and the only way to become a black eye was to be killed by Satan's trap (the black death) or to commit multiple unforgivable sins. Most black eyes are faithful to Satan however you get the odd few like me who aren't evil.
The next type of demons is spirit eyes. Their eyes are pure white with no other hint of colour. They are the 2nd most common of the demons. Black eyes usually have 4 spirit eyed servants.
The 3rd type is a blood eyed demon. They are the demons who killed at least 2 people in their life. They are not the most powerful however they are the most bloodthirsty. Their eyes have no colour except for blood red.
The final demon type is gold eyes. You can guess what colour eyes they have. They are just the usual sinners and are not very special compared to other demons but if they were in a fight against a human the outcome would not look well. They are the most common demons to find as most citizens of hell would be gold eyed.
"And I believe the devil looks like…"
"THAT'S ENOUGH SELENA" Miss Naris shouts tired from this conversation
I can't say what Satan looks like. I've never seen him. So your guess is as good as mine on what he's appearance is. Whatever it is though it can't be pretty.
"We should be focusing more on are god and what we should do to please him" Lizzie says. Lizzie is that popular cheerleader who people love and yet people hate. Like me she has bright blonde her but her features are immaculate. Perfect cheekbones and an ideal tan. Not too pale but not orange either. It looks so natural unlike most other girls here. She's perfect…..and I hate her.
She can be such a bitch at times. Well most of the time. She is a master at insults.
The bell rings and we all leave the class room. Miss Naris glares at every single one of us as we leave.
I meet with Ella, Jack and Emily as we leave.
"God I hate Lizzie sometimes" Emily tells us "She's like the biggest bitch at school and her cheerleader friends always follow her like a sheep-snake hybrid spitting their venom at anyone"
Once I get back to the orphanage and in my room I lock the doors tight. I then return my eyes to their natural form. It takes a small amount of effort to have your eyes in their human form and when you have them in demon form….the feeling is like when you wear really tight jeans for hours and when you finally take them off.
I lie in my bed and begin to sleep. Today was quiet; usually we have to hunt at least 2 demons a day but today was not very busy.
NO ONES POV
Miss Naris sits in her class room late at night. She usually stays very late after school to get more work done as she doesn't have much point at staying at home except for a warm bed.
Footsteps are heard in the corridor. Miss Naris lifts her head from her desk in suspicion. She should be the only one here like usual. Along with the footsteps she hears something that sounds similar to a rat gnawing on some mouldy food and something whispering various inaudible words.
Miss Naris gets out of her sit and leaves the class room.
"WHO'S THERE" she shouts
No answer. She walks further through the religious studies corridor and eventually enters the music corridors. The noise finishes and all there is is silence.
Miss Naris's heart rate increases and her blood pumps around her body quicker. A drum beat plays along with a few piano chords. Soon a trombone also begins to play.
"GET OUT HERE" Miss Naris commands "YOU STUPID CHILD"
She gets out her classroom keys and opens the locked music classroom. Instead of seeing 5 students messing around like she thought she would she instead saw the instruments playing itself.
Miss Naris scans the classroom confused. They can't possibly be playing themselves. Can they?
A foggy dark yellow smoke enters the room and circles Miss Naris. She's too petrified to move. Her feet shuffle slightly before the yellow smoke makes it attack.
The smoke enters her mouth. The texture of the smoke is like drinking a bucket of treacle mixed with vomit. The smoke continues to enter the mouth and Miss Naris attempts to breath.
Her eyes shift slightly and change colour. Once the smoke has completely disappeared and entered her body Miss Naris opens her eyes.
Instead of the usual boring grey colour in her eyes they have changed. They are instead are bright and eerie. Full of life yet full of death at the same time. Miss Naris's eyes have turned gold.
Miss Naris has been possessed by a gold eye.
