Prologue
I knew there was something different about me. When I walk by the pet store, all the animals would fall silent and watch me. My mom would never let me have a pet or go to a friends house (if I had any). When I was smaller, I often thought to myself, is there a reason? Only now, do I know the truth. The world that I used to know, was a lie.
Chapter one: Marie
I woke up to the smell of disinfectant as my memory slowly slunk back into my brain. I remembered my mother; her body covered in blood, screaming for me to leave, and the sound of her muffled screaming as she coughed blood whilst the creature tore at her.
I opened my eyes slowly, as I adjusted to the bright light. From what I could see, I was in a hospital. The white walls and white curtains drawn back illuminated the room until it looked like I was surrounded by white light.
As my vision adjusted, I saw a girl, a little older than me named Katrina, who we fondly nicknamed Kat, approach. She was wearing regular clothes, but it looked as if she was modeling for a magazine. Don't be fooled though, she has the speed of a tiger when she handles a whip and can shift into almost anything and anyone.
Her catlike eyes, glanced my way, startling me, though I saw her come in. She rapidly walked towards me with a look of what you might call surprise.
"Ah, you're awake. Finally, you took quite a beating, Marie." she said, "I will call the others."
As she slinked out of the room like a cat, I tried to register what had happened. Ah, I remember, I thought to myself, the incident with the demon.
A while ago, depends on how long I have been asleep, a demon entered thorough a portal opened by a young wizard. We were lucky only one went through, but that young demon, sensing a strong magical presence, found my mother. My mother didn't survive, and he bit my arm, but lucky for me, most of his poison had already been injected into my mother's body, her then having the worst effect from the poisonous fangs of the demon; death. Luckily, I was able to sleep off the poison, but if I were a human, I would have died. And indeed, I am not human. I am what a human would call, a monster.
