Demons. The very definition of evil and darkness. Even though I would call myself one of them, I've never really gotten along with my own kind. I always had a soft spot for human kind. No not a soft spot but I could deal with them better than demons. This city has always been full of demons, of one kind or another. But they have mostly coexisted with humans, not peacefully but still coexisted. The war between humans and demons that should have been, always took a back seat to my own personal battle. I was born, from a demon and human's unholy union. Being born a half breed wasn't all bad, but it was mostly bad. I still felt the same emotions as a human, which made me irrational and unpredictable. It also made it harder for me to keep my temper controlled. For me losing my temper could mean someone dying, my demon powers lie just underneath the surface so it's hard for me to control it, especially when I get angry.

My life has been longer than expected, and over the years I have learned a lot about humans and the demons who hunt them. I was born in the city of Rayar, to the king and queen, making me the princess well me and my twin that is. My twin sister Katherine although slightly older than me was always the weaker one of the two of us. I grew up with her and we lived a quite peaceful life, until my mother died when we we're 15, after that my father looked after us however when we reached 17 my father was forced to go and fight in the war between Rayar and Caldera. But he never returned, he was killed in battle, it broke my heart when my father died, I had always been closer to my father more than my mother. After my father died my sister was appointed queen, she deserved it, and I didn't feel the least bit jealous of her. She was always the one to be kind toward others she was a great leader and a wonderfully beautiful person both inside and out, I stayed in the palace with her until one night when the city of Caldera decided that killing our king wasn't enough for them, they wanted the city destroyed. Our city has always been feared by the two cities flanking us, Caldera and Aria because of our immense power, our armies might was unparalleled and our leader unmovable. However when our king died that power died with him, with no leader the army disbanded and my sister, who trusted everyone more than she should didn't see a need for another one. However this led to Caldera thinking they could defeat us, but they didn't know about my power.

That night, as the city panicked around me, I stood alone at the main gates waiting for the enemy. In my hand I held my katana, its black hilt wrapped with red ribbon which hung down to the blade. A truly beautiful weapon indeed. Outside the gate I heard the enemy shouting and battering the wooden gates for entry, and still I waited. The gate finally gave in to their brutality and allowed them entrance into my city, however when they entered they stopped, confused and surprised to see a young girl standing there. I was about 18 at the time, but I had seen more battle than most of the men before me could have imagined. They stood staring at me waiting for an explanation but I gave none. At that moment when the army regained their senses and attacked, I became closed off to every emotion, I left only my desire for victory. Unburdened by human emotion I was free to destroy the army before me and grant my city victory. I closed my eyes and held my sword above my head. A light so bright, the sun itself paled in comparison radiated from my blade, as I spoke slowly under my breath.

"Infinity gate, release your chains and open, blind these fools with your power and grant me victory" as the last word fell from my lips I felt my strength return and I swung my blade downwards. The shockwave that was sent toward the army killed all of the five hundred men before me. And not just men, without my cities army they were the strongest army in the country of Ariyai. But before my blade they all fell, however the happiness of victory only lasted a few seconds. And as the infinity gate closed and it began to rain, the weight of what I had done made me collapse to my knees, gripping the hilt of my sword, its blade stuck in the muddy ground below me.

Demon. That's the name I was given after that, even though I had saved the city from almost certain destruction. They didn't trust me or my power, my twin was the only who trusted me anymore and even she was becoming more and more distant as the days wore on. I could no longer leave the confines of the palace, for most people wanted me dead, they said I was dangerous. They turned on their savior, but they had no idea what that did to me. I became emotionless; I didn't trust anyone but myself. And I had no way of letting go I couldn't forgive myself for what I had done but I also couldn't forgive the city for turning its back on me. As the years went by and I grew up my hate for the city also grew, hating the city and its people for abandoning me wasn't so bad, but I began to also hate my twin sister. She had no idea of the hate I harbored for her, and she didn't let my angry outbursts stop her from trying to help me. The truth is I didn't hate her I hated the fact that she had sided with the city when I asked her why they hated and feared me.

"They are scared, they can't be blamed for the way they are. After what you did, I too fear your power. But I do not fear you dear sister"

That had confirmed it for me she was scared of my power, which meant she also feared me. And that's when I started to hate what she stood for. And one day, that hatred came out in the form of my blade. My sister had been in the throne room all day, she had been greeted new comers to the city and doing everything she could to keep the city a peaceful place. And that's where I challenged her.

"Dear sister, I have a question for you. Why is it that you side with them over me?" I shouted at her, the guards around us quickly came between us and held me back.

"Release her" my sister commanded.

"I do not side with anyone sister, I merely try to help" she stood from her throne and laid her hand on my shoulder.

"Why do you hate me?" I asked her, gripping my blade.

"I do not" I shook my head.

"You do, I can see it" I argued, anger rising in my voice.

"Be careful sister, you know what losing your temper can do"

"And you'd know all about that wouldn't you!" I yelled back, she had no idea how painful it was keeping this monster at bay all the time.

"No more" I said finally.

"I can't do it anymore, I won't be betrayed" at this I raised my sword, and swung it down, my sisters fearful eyes reflected my own hatred and pain.

"My lady!" Christian. The man who loved my sister dearly, but had no idea how I wanted with everything I had for him to love me. His voice carried across the huge hallway and reached my ears, bringing me back from my blind fury.

"Sister" I said, falling to my knees.

"How could you, she's your sister, she loves you" Christian looked at me and the hatred in his eyes, froze me. He drew his pistol, as my sister lay dying on the cold floor, and stood above me.

"You should die for your crimes against her" he said, resting the pistol against my forehead, I closed my eyes.

"I know" I said, giving in completely.

"I love you" I whispered as he pulled the trigger, and I fell to the ground, lifeless. The last thing I heard was my sister screaming and Christian trying to calm her down.

After that my sister, recovered from her injuries remarkably fast, and she set about learning black magic in an attempt to find a way to revive me, it took her ten years but she finally came across a spell that would allow her to save me but it would require her to become a demon. The love of her life Christian obviously wouldn't allow her to do it. But she insisted that it would all work out in the end. It was that sense of optimism that ultimately became her undoing. She agreed to the terms and performed the spell, becoming a demon in the process. Christian although afraid stayed by her side, but he never forgot the last words I had said to him. And the question as to whether I really did love him haunted him, even though he loved my sister with all his heart.

Darkness. The only thing I saw, but it only lasted a few minutes. As it cleared I remembered the gun, the hatred in Christian's eyes, my sister screaming. I realized I was hearing their voices, and thought it must be an echoed of life. But it didn't fade; it got louder and louder as my consciousness returned.

"Sister, sister" my twin's voice echoed through me, and I realized I wasn't remembering anymore, I was actually hearing her voice. I tried to open my eyes but they wouldn't obey me.

"It's going to be hard for her to control this body" I heard another familiar voice but I couldn't place it.

"I know, but she has to wake up soon" my twin said.

"Doctor, open the infinity gate" my twin commanded, it was impossible I thought. Only I was able to open and close the gate.

"I'll contain her, just open it" my sister said. I tried again to open my eyes and ask her what she meant but they still wouldn't obey me. Al I could see was a sea of white, pure white nothing more. Until the gate appeared before me, it was the same as always, at least four storey's tall, pure black and covered in chains. I stood on one side of it and my demon side on the other. I stared into the darkness, listening to the haunting but beautiful voice that echoed from my other self. Suddenly the gate opened and I was face to face with my demon self, she grinned at me, her crimson eyes staring into my green eyes.

"You need my power" she said.

"I do, but I'm scared" I replied, she tilted her head.

"What's scared?" she asked.

"I forgot you don't any emotion other than hatred and blood lust" I said, taking her hand and letting her take over me.

"Did it work?" my twin asked the unknown doctor. My eyes flicked open and I stared up into my sisters green eyes with my crimson ones.

"Welcome back, Lady Kayla" the doctor said politely but I ignored him.

"Sister" I said.

"Its ok you can close the gate now" she said, struggling to keep the barrier she had created over me.

"Why would I do that?" I asked, sitting up the barrier around me collapsed and I was set free.

"Finally, you're not very good at that are you?" I said, walking towards her.

"Kayla, stop" Christian's voice hit me again and the gate swung closed leaving me human again, I collapsed to my knees, without my demonic power I was weaker than I had ever been.

"Careful" the doctor said, as he caught me and lead me over to the hospital bed I had been on.

"Christian" I whispered.

"What you did was terrible, however your sister has spent the last ten years saving you, you should be grateful" I gasped, turning to face her.

"Ten years?" I asked, she nodded smiling at me.

"Leave us please" my sister said.

"But my lady" Christian started.

"It'll be ok" my twin answered before he could finish his sentence, he sighed and left the room with the others leaving me and my twin alone.

"Is it ok for us to alone, I did try to kill you" I said, feeling too much guilt for me to handle.

"Yes" she answered, sitting next to me.

"I forgave you years ago" she said.

"But you haven't forgiven yourself have you" she continued, I shook my head.

"What do you want for it to be alright again" she asked.

"Hate me, or if you can't at least punish me for my crimes"

"You already died once what more can I do" I shook my head.

"That was Christians revenge I want you to do it" I said. She thought a moment before standing again and leaving the room.

"Ok" she said, returning with Christians gun in her hand, Christian was close behind her looking confused.

"You want punishment?" she asked, I nodded prepared for what would happen.

"Ok" she leant the pistol against my head the same way Christian had.

"You have been punished" she said. Smiling at me.

"But I..."

"Not forgiving yourself and living with that torment is enough punishment for you" she said. Behind her Christian stared at me, a confusing look on his face. It was somewhere between anger and sadness.

"Now rest" my sister commanded.

"Thank you, Katherine" I said as she left the room. I lay back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, I hadn't even noticed that Christian was still in the room, watching me.

"Your last words" he said, slowly approaching me, I sat back up staring into his beautiful blue eyes.

"You said, I love you" he continued, I nodded.

"You where talking to your sister weren't you?" he asked, cautiously, I shook my head.

"No. I love you" I said, looking at him. He stepped back slightly.

"Don't worry, I know you love my sister and I respect that. I just…well I do love you more than anything, that's why I didn't stop you from pulling the trigger"

He sat down beside me, looking surprised.

"If it where anyone else I would've stopped them, but I just couldn't bring myself to hurt you, I couldn't do it" I felt the over whelming urge to lean my head on his shoulder but I resisted.

"Kayla, back then I did hate you, for what you did but I never hated you before that, even after everyone started calling you a demon I still trusted you, and I trust you now as well. As Katherine said I forgave you years ago. But I'm sorry I can't return your love, I love you sister, I'm sorry" he grabbed my shoulders and hugged me close to his chest.

"Thank you, Christian" I whispered, hugging him back.

"I have to leave" I said when he pulled back.

"Leave? Why?"

"I have to, if I stay here there's a chance I'll hurt someone else and next time it might be you, I couldn't live with myself if I hurt you, or Kate again, so I'll leave. I'll go somewhere less populated, or maybe I'll get a job using my power for good." I stood from the bed.

"Tell Kate, I love her and I hope she's happy for the rest of her life"

"It sounds like you won't be back" he said.

"I won't, I know I said I'm ok with you loving Kate but it still hurts to see you two together, so I won't be back, or maybe when I've gained complete control then I'll return."

"I'll be waiting for that day Lady Kayla" he said, shaking me hand.

"Please call me Kay" I said, smiling.

"I love you Christian, please don't ever forget me" and with that I left, tears in my eyes, but a smile on my face, never to return. I didn't see my sister again. But i never forgot them any of them, especially Christian, I kept a picture in my bag of the three of us back before anything awful happened and that's all I needed to keep me going. After a year of travelling from place to place. I ended up in a city in the country that bordered, Ariyai. It was far enough away for me not to want to go home but close enough that I still felt close to them.

I made my money by taking jobs given to me by the citizens, it was mostly tracking and killing demons which I found easy, it also helped with trying to control my anger and power. However I had noticed over the year before that I was being followed, by a girl who looked remarkably like my twin sister I had photographed her once and compared the picture to the one I carried of us, and they were identical. However I could never catch her and when I called her name she ignored me. I decided that it had to be someone pretending to be my sister, after all, my twin was back in Rayar ruling as their queen, it couldn't possibly be her. One of my jobs took me near a shop, named Devil May Cry. The owner of the shop was supposedly the best demon hunter in the world, I found that hard to believe but I decided to check it out. Maybe he could help with capturing the one following me.
