Learning

Haylee Unger couldn't help that she was different from her family. She was part demon. How this happened was simple and complicated all the same. On the day that her mother was to have Haylee, a demon attacked her. The blood of her mother and the blood of the demon mixed. Her father had died to save Haylee and her mother. Her mother died after Haylee was born. Luckily for Haylee, she had siblings that understood. They didn't know from experience but they knew from watching a close friend of the family go through it. Haylee was the baby of the family.

Luckily for Haylee, until the "accident", she had grown up with three sisters and two brothers. She had loved all her siblings. Though she got along better with her brothers, she still loved her sisters. Haylee learned to fight through her brothers. She learned to deal with her unnatural gift through her sisters. Haylee, because of her demon blood, was able to be stronger than a normal girl. She also was able to see the future and she was able to create an invisible shield around her. Though you would think that these "gifts" were not so demon, Haylee, when angry, would turn into something unnatural. She had fangs like a vampire, claws like a werewolf, and a craving for blood and meat like no other.

When Haylee was ten years old, she learned about her "difference" between her and her schoolmates. On the first full moon after her tenth birthday, she became what her brother called "mortuus". Mortuus in Latin means dead. Haylee looked dead when angry. The story though is that on the full moon in particular, she became very sensitive. You might say that she was like a teen girl when "Mother Nature" comes and visits you for a week.

Anyways…

At age 13, she learned that if she didn't want someone near her or if they were invading her space, then she could make a bubble around her. As the years grow so does her invisible shield.

At age 16, she began having "nightmares" of people being killed. It wasn't just nightmares anymore when the news started showing her nightmares. At first her family thought that it was her, even though Haylee had learned to control her anger through meditation. The nightmares become more frantic and detailed. One night, Haylee and her brother Thomas went to the location of Haylee's nightmare. They found the dead body of a little girl and the body of the little girl's mother. After the realization, Haylee began to go more into the details of what you can use to kill. She learned to fight with swords, knives, guns, and anything else she could find around the house.

Unreal

A week before Haylee's graduation, she left to follow a nightmare. The nightmare led her to a town not far from her. It was called Sangre, which in Spanish meant blood. She got a motel room and spent the night there. Her nightmare came back that night. She woke up in cold sweat. Haylee got up, took a shower, got a gun out of the trunk of her El Camino, and walked to room 5. Things were never the same after that night.

It took three days before Haylee came home.

"Haylee, where the hell have you been!" Mary, the oldest sibling, asked.

"Sangre," Haylee replied. She wasn't in the mood to argue after what she had saw, what she had done.

"What the hell were you doing there?" Michael, the second oldest, demanded.

"Nightmare," Haylee answered. The entire time everyone was asking questions, Haylee stared at the floor.

"What happened?" Mary asked.

"Stuff," Haylee said.

"Tommy, please get your sister to speak more than one word." Mary said.

Tommy, the considered middle sibling, attempted to place an arm around his sister. Tommy and Haylee were closer than anyone. Haylee, though she loved her brother, cast a small shield around her. Tommy looked into Haylee's blue-green eyes. Haylee finally looked up and saw her brother looking at her. The shield went done. Tommy took Haylee's hand and led her to the back yard so they could talk.

"Haylee, what happened?" Tommy asked in a soft, calm voice.

"I killed him," Haylee said. "I killed the guy in the room. It wasn't my fault. He wouldn't move and I could get a shot of it. Those horrible eyes, the teeth, and the eyes." Haylee continued to mumble confusing short statement. All the time she repeated, "The eyes, the eyes." Tommy just listened best he could and held Haylee until she calm. Haylee had never cried in the last ten years. Not even as a baby, not a child, and never as a teen.

Only 12 hours had passed since she had been back. She woke up with a cold shiver down her back. The nightmare had startled her awake.

"Tommy," Haylee whispered. He didn't budge. Haylee felt pain in her stomach as she stood over her brother's bed. "Tommy, wake up." Nothing. He was on his side away from her. Haylee touched Tommy's shoulder. A horrible piercing sound flew into her ears. Her hands flew to her ears. She shut her eyes.

A flash of a dark figure killing her brother made her eyes reopen. She looked down and saw blood on her hands. She ran out. Kelly and Georgia were dead. Mary and Michael's room was at the end of the hall. Haylee ran to their room. Michael was still asleep. Mary was no where in the room. Her side of the room was empty.

"Michael, wake up! Michael, where's Mary?" Haylee yelled. She looked around. Michael woke up and saw Haylee.

"Haylee, what's wrong?" He wiped his eyes. A thick, warm, dark liquid splashed on him in the dark. Haylee and Michael looked up. Mary's body was on the ceiling. A scream and screech flood the room. Mary's body became on fire.

Once Michael and Haylee escaped the house, Haylee told her brother about the nightmare she had had when she left and tonight's. Michael couldn't believe it. Neither could Haylee at first, though this nightmare was defiantly unreal.
