Demon Girl By: Meredith Malone
Being a farm girl sucks. At first, I worked at my family's farm in Elwynn. Now, we are being battled over for control of by the demons, Honor Hold, and the Wind Traders. See, it all started off with my Dad's "great" idea of moving to Nagrand to support Honor Hold while still being in "safe territory". See, he didn't get the idea that no where in the Outlands is it ever safe. We picked up, moved, built our farm, and before we could hire passing adventurers as protection as my Dad wanted, we were ambushed, you could say, by the Wind Traders. Naturally grown food is scare in the Outlands and they had the idea that we would just give all nearly all of our crops to them, get hardly anything in return, and then just keep pumping out food that they overprice. We told them no, so they stole some food. We got mad over that, and Honor Hold then protected us and fought back at them. Now, after some time, the demons took notice of us and tried to force us to support their army, even though they prefer meat over grain. We had no choice but to say yes. Honor Hold tried to defend us, but they were getting worn down. Eventually, the demons won and they started using our farm. After a while, my idiot brother, Harletus, attacked the demons. To make sure that he would stop and my family would make no attempts to stop them, they took me hostage. The Wind Traders tried to interfere but lost badly to them.
Now here I sit in a tiny, dingy cell with an Imp guard. I hope that I will be set free, but I don't think that will ever happen. Even worse, the demons work for Illidan. I have seen him a few times and his appearance is terrifying. Eventually, though, he took notice of me and decided to train me in the demonic arts, to make me a Demon Hunter. At first I was terrified, but now, it's easier to control the powers, and Illidan is actually sort of nice, once you get to know him. I eventually performed the ritual to truly make me a Demon Hunter. It was extremely painful, and now my greatest enemy is my best friend. I am Illidan's best lieutenant, but I still wonder about my family. I hope I see them someday. They probably have mourned me, thinking I was killed.
It was 5 years ago when I was taken away. I finally visit my family, very cautiously though. I was assigned to watch over the farm, though I think Illidan is actually trying to get me back with them, at least for a little while. At first they do not know who I am. My red hair has grown much longer than the shortness I kept it at. My eye sockets are covered with a black cloth, and I wear demonic clothes. My body is powerfully built and I have the war glaives like Illidan does, and I have large black runes covering the surface of my body.
They fear me at first, cringing when I even turn towards them. Eventually, I speak to them, and tell them who I am. My mother and father believe me, but Harletus doesn't think it's me. He says I am an imposter, just pretending to be his sister. His words pain me, and I feel a sharp pang of anger. I growl at him, and he backs off. I immediately regret my actions, and turn away.
I wonder how life will treat me next…will it come in surprise of war, or merely peace? Though all my family believes who I am now, I am still distant to them. I have had no contact with them for 10 years now. I am different now. I am known to most as a Demon Hunter, but to all my old friends in Elwynn, some demons, and mortals, I am known as….the Demon Girl.
