So I haven't written anything in a good long while. This is my first story I've written since I finally got my inspiration back.

"What if I were to tell you that everything you know is a lie? What if everything you thought you knew to be true was only there to keep you from reaching your true potential? How do you even go about finding the truth, if there even is any truth to be found? See these are important questions you should be asking yourself. Life isn't just a straight line, things aren't just black and white!" It was another day following around a man I'd sworn to serve as a child because I wanted to try to change who I was. It wasn't good enough for me to learn a little bit here and there as I worked. I needed to learn, I needed more than what my parents could offer. And so I became an apprentice. To whom? Azar of course, one of the most powerful Wizards known to man. I got kind of lucky but then as he droned on about stuff I'd already heard a thousand times I had to question my choosing him since he hasn't actually taught me anything yet. Its not like he was wrong or anything. What he was saying was true, with everything you can't take it for face value anymore. And seeing as I haven't exactly had the best of luck with just controlling my magic he'd had me wondering if I was who they say I really am. I mean what if it was all a lie and I really am extremely powerful. What then would be the purpose of lying to me?

"Are you listening to me?!" I looked up at him and blushed lightly. "Sort of, I'm sorry sir. I was just thinking about what you said. I don't know where I would start or even if I want to know." He growled lightly, "I've always taught you to search for the truth." "Of course but I mean think about it. You've said yourself you don't think I am who everyone say I am. So who am I master if I am not me?" My voice was trembling now, this was a big deal. I'd been his servant for 10 years now and with turning 16 controlling my powers as we called them was getting harder. Every year it got harder and we had to come up with new things and now we were at this point and he was creating a magic mirror for me. I was to become detached from my emotions as much as possible anyway. And with this I was worried because without emotion whats to stop even normal people from becoming heartless murders. "Rachel Roth, that is who you are. No matter what." It wasn't enough, I didn't feel like a Rachel it felt like it was too good of a name for me. "I don't feel like Rachel." he smiled setting a hand mirror down in front of me. "Good so begins your journey to who you really are."

So he sent me off and told me to keep writing him letters where ever I stopped. When I asked about magic he said I already knew everything I would ever need for it. So I packed a bag and I went off. To where I wasn't exactly sure. I guess the best place to start would be with my parents and so I grabbed a horse and I rode back home. Luckily we'd ended up settling down not to far from the town though I had been told never to go there before hand. I questioned the change in mind and decided he never changed his mind. He knew something and he couldn't keep it from me any longer. I looked around as I entered the town. Sad to say I didn't even remember what my parents looked like or their names. Why didn't I remember my parents? I groaned and got off my horse leading him to a fountain to drink. "Well I'm here, now what." I splashed some water on my face and looked up to notice most of the people in town staring at me.

I naively smiled and waived. "Hello." A man walked up to me growling. "What are you doing here girl your not allowed here?" I looked at him confused. "Excuse me?" "You know your not allowed in this town girl!" I backed up as he yelled and the other people started to close in on me. "Did I do something wrong? Please sir I'm just here to look for my parents." "Your kind has no business her leave now!" Tears welled up in my eyes and I nodded. "I'm sorry for whatever I've done." I climbed up on my horse trying to drown out the angry banter of the townsfolk. "Wait!" I looked up as a woman pushed through the crowd. "Rachel! Oh my baby." She pulled me down and hugged me tightly as the crowd watched silently but still annoyed. "You promised us she wouldn't come back her. You brought a demon into our town and now it's come back for you." The man growled and I gasped. "I am not a demon! How dare you?" And with that the towns people went crazy pushing and shoving us. The woman tried to cling to me but they eventually tore her off me and pushed me to the ground. "Leave her alone, she doesn't know!" She cried out as they all circled around me. "We should have killed you in the beginning!" The same man who took it upon himself to do all the yelling grabbed my arm and pulled me onto my feet. "Now you will die demon. Set a fire and bring a priest she burns at noon." I tried pulling away crying out for help. No one listened everyone just cheered him on. Then everything went black as he hit me with... something.

I groaned slowly opening my eyes as I came to. I gasped realizing I was now tied over a fire pit and once again surrounded by the towns people. Why was this happening? I hadn't done anything wrong. "Kill them," a dark voice whispered in my head. "The girl is awake. Lets do this." A man walked up toward me wearing a priests clothing. "Child I give you this last chance to live. Dare you accept my help it shall hurt but you can live a normal life." I looked at him, "sir please believe me when I say I've done nothing wrong. I just came to find my parents." He nodded and sighed. "That's excatly what you did wrong, you were banished from here. Now I ask you again do you want my help." "Kill them!" "I don't understand what I did! Please, I'll leave just let me go," I begged as tears fell down my face and burned small holes in my clothes. He stepped back and nodded to the man from before. He walked up holding a torch and smiled. "Good bye demon," he snarled lighting the fire pit. I thrashed about trying to get free. "I'm not a demon please stop!" I screamed as the flames grew quickly and I could feel the bottom of my feet getting hot. Panic rose sharply in my chest and I knew this was it. I'd started my journey and it ended just as quickly. "NO!" I screamed but my voice was over shadowed by a much deeper. I gasped my body feeling like a thousand needles were going through it. Everyone gasped backing away from me and I grunted as I fell to he ground. No one came near me as I laid in a heap sobbing on the ground.

"Enough people," Azar growled walking up. He came up to me laying me on my back. "Rachel are you okay." "Master," I breathed my voice still echoed with a much darker deeper voice. "We had a deal old man you were supposed to keep her from here!" Azar stood up and I reached for him. "Yes and I did but at some point you had to know she would want to see her mother. How dare you, I've taught you all better than this. And now since you've woken up the very thing you all were afraid of I have no choice but to let you deal with it." "Kill them all. They wanted you dead. These people were going to kill you for no reason. They deserve to die." I cried out grabbing my head as the voice echoed in my head getting louder and faster. "Azar no... she'll kill everyone," he said and they all backed away from me. "This is the price you pay for disobeying my teachings and for trying to kill someone for all the wrong reasons." I left out my breath slowly in a low hiss. I was so angry and terrified. Why couldn't I control my anger, I couldn't calm the fire in my stomach the burning in my eyes. "Master help," I cried out my voice no longer my own. He sighed and nodded. "And even as she loses control she's trying to protect you all, but she's a demon who needs to be killed right?!" He bent back down to me holding up the mirror he'd made me. I gasped flinching away from the mirror. I had for red eyes streaming blood red tears and I was shrouded in some black 'mist'. "Rachel I know you scared and hurt. I know you don't want to see this. This is what's been fighting inside of you, this is your true power. But even this can be controlled and used properly. Look into the mirror. Channel all your anger, all your pain, all your happiness, all your emotions put everything into this mirror one by one. Split them apart and channel them into this mirror," he said softly. I didn't want to, I wanted to rip that man to pieces for doing this to me and Azar he'd tricked me and lied to me. I should have know my special abilities couldn't have been normal. I wish I had less respect for him or I would've read his mind. I could have know years ago and not been sitting here with a dark rage in my stomach begging me to kill these people. I didn't want to be a killer though. And if I did it would make me exactly what they called me and they had every right to be afraid.

I looked in the mirror took in the picture that was me. As my skin was slowly turning red and I looked more and more like someone I've never seen before. I took a deep breath to try and calm myself. I focused on my anger picturing her as a me with a red cloak and locked her in the mirror. Instantly I felt better and the red tint to my skin disappeared. Then I focused on my pain and the hurt, how afraid I was and gave her a Grey cloak. I called her timid and locked her in the mirror. I went through every emotion, Green bravery, Pink happiness, Orange rudeness, Yellow Knowledge, Purple love, Brown Sloth. I took a deep breath as I finished locking them in the mirror. I looked at myself and was grateful to see my normal indigo eyes, purple hair, and greyish skin. I was a demon... or at least part demon. I looked up at Azar and he hugged me. "It's all right Rachel." I shook my head taking the mirror and standing up. I walked over to the man who took it upon his self to start ll this. "Thank you for showing me that I'm better than all you pathetic people," I said letting myself get shrouded in darkness. "Rachel!" 'Good bye," I said softly and let the darkness take me where ever it willed. I just needed to get as far away as possible. And so I did I left that dimension and I went to Earth.

So what did you guys think of the intro. Be open and honest. Yes I am aware my grammar sucks... I can't do too much about that anymore.
