This is part one of a three-sectioned story, "Demon Blood", but don't worry about that right now. Just read and enjoy.
I in no way own or claim to posses the right to any of the X-men:Evolution characters, only the writing itself.


Demon Blood: So Strange

Chapter One -- Prologue

They are
We are
So strange.

So much raw emotion
With nowhere to go but out
And up
And yet
All they can think to do is destroy it
Smother it
Snuff it out because it is a threat to
Humanity.

And it's not like I can help
What I look like
What I am
What they see.

That last one's the most important.

Because if they see me
As what I am
They don't care what I look like.

And if they see me
As what I look like
They don't care what I am.

I have demon blood
It skips through my veins
And tickles my arteries
And I
Am
Human.

And I
Am
Sorry.


I wanted to start this out right, so I picked up on some free-verse and made it happen. All later chapters will solely be in prose.
Please, read on.
