Mark of the Demons - Chapter One
A/N - I have re-done this chapter so it will be easier to read for all those that are actually reading. I forgot about spacing between the paragraphs. Sorry.
Sabrina made her way down to the kitchen, yawning, loudly. It was 3:00 in the morning and she couldn't sleep at all.
She kept having the starngest dreams. The dreams had wierd dragons in them and what she usually thought of as monsters. Some had scales, but some just had rough skin. They all, however, had bright glowing ruby red eyes that seemed to burned forever into her brain.
Sabrina was about 18 years old, with moonlight blue colored eyes with a ring of red around the iris. Her hair was long,
silver, and hung below her shoulders in messy tangles, at the moment. She was around 5'7" in height and pretty thin,
but not too thin. Currently, she wore a baby blue spaghetti strap shirt and blue pajama pants that covered her sock-
covered feet.
The girl walked up to the sink, grabbing a glass, and fixing herself a glass of warm water, since cold water woke her up more than necessary and she was already cold to begin with. She drank some of it, pouring out the rest as she tried to blink the sleep out of her eyes.
Suddenly, Sabrina was brought to her knees by an overwhelming pain in her belly. She clamped her hands to the pain-
filled spot as she gasped for breath.
Sabrina pulled up her shirt a little to see a mark on her belly, on her right side above her hip, a mark she has had since she was born, growing darker in color with age and something she couldn't pin point.
She didn't know why it did that, but it did it once amonth, every month. It was Sabrina's curse, just as if she was a werewolf.
The mark itself, nobody could explain. It took the shape of a dragons head with spikes coming out of the cheeks and four coming out of the top of the head, two big and two smaller. She used to use markers and color the lines in, forming a picture instead of a mark, a brand, it seemed.
Sabrina heard footsteps and got to her feet, hiding her pain-filled expression with the expertice of an academy award winning actress. She only knew how to do it so well because she had done it repeatedly for years and years before.
"What are you doing out of bed this late, young lady?" Her father, Valmont, asked his daughter.
"Dad, I'm eighteen. I'm not a 'young lady', anymore." Sabrina replied, being her usual sarcastic self.
"You'll always be my young lady, Sabrina. Now, what are you doing up so late?" Valmont asked and Sabrina looked up at him.
"Gettin' a drink of water. I woke up from another one of those nightmares again." She said, trembling, slightly, from the memory of her dream.
"Well, get back to bed. You don't need to be up all night again, sweetie." Valmont replied, his eyes showing concern for his daughters consistant nightmares.
"Oh, alright." Sabrina replied, smiling softly, tilting her head to the side. "Night, daddy." She said, going up to her father and kissing him on the cheek.
"Night, angel." Valmont said as his daughter walked back up the stairs, heading towards her room.
Sabrina thought it took forever to reach her room, when it only took a minute or so. Everything seemed to last longer than it was supposed to anymore.
Anyways, Sabrina walked into her room and closed the door behind her after she had walked in. Sabrina flopped down on her king-sized bed, fitted with black satin sheets with red lining and a black blanket with red lining.
Sabrina burrowed herself under her soft, but warm, covers and sighed as she, swiftly, drifted into sleep.
((((((((((Dream Sequence))))))))))
Sabrina stood in the middle of a dimly lit room. She couldn't really see a thing. Sabrina felt a slight draft and looked down at her body to see a two piece outfit that showed a lot of her belly.
The top was red with black and was like a v-neck tank top, only tight. The bottom was a black skirt tied with a red sash,
which went down a little past the skirt. The skirt was low enough to show her little dragon mark on her belly, which you could see plainly.
Sabrina heard a low hiss and looked around, nearly starting to panic already. Two glowing red eyes shone through the dark shadows, but no body was seen because of how dark it was. Tjose eyes scared her greatly, but, also, comforted her for some extremely weird reason.
She lifted a shaky foot and stepped towards the eyes, tilting her head in curiousity. Something was familiar about those eyes.
Sabrina nearly reached the eyes, when a sharp pain raced through her back, coming from four different places. She screamed out in pain and closedher eyes.
"NO!" She screamed, feeling herself falling.
Sabrina fell to her knees, panting, feeling something pull out of back as she fell. She glance over her shoulder, shakily,
and saw four long claws covered in thick crimson blood.
Sabrina felt herself falling towards the floor, once more, and felt the collison of her body against the cold, hard concrete.
Her vision cloudled and everything became dark.
