Demoness with a Human Heart

oOKaraOo

I awoke inside a jail cell. It was light out, so I must have been unconscious for a while.

I sat up. I noticed that I was lying on a bed. The officer patrolling the prison block looked inside, "Well, it's about time you woke up. You had some pretty nasty injuries, little lady. You should be okay."

"What about my brother?"

"You mean Kurama?" So he knew.

"Yeah, where is he?"

The guard laughed, "He's dead. They killed him when you got here. You put up a huge fight, little lady. Now, we've got you. You're not so unstoppable now, are you?"

I was absolutely devastated. Kurama was gone and I had broken my promise to myself. I had vowed to protect Kurama and now I was stuck in prison while he was killed.

I knew right then what I had to do. I had to get out of here. It would take months to come up with a plan. Hopefully, my friends could help out. I prepared for a long 500 years.

Two years had gone by since I arrive here. I've had frequent visits from my friends Mei Kui and Rajika. We were quickly coming up with the plan for me to get out. It seemed really simple, but yet, maximum security is very hard to penetrate. Well, it was worth a try.

I was going over the plan once more to check for errors, when Mei Kui and Rajika appeared at my cell door.

"Hey, Kara," said Mei Kui, "When do you plan on you-know-what?"

"Tonight. I need you two to do something, though. I need you to go to the human world and find Kurama. I know he's there. We promised that if anything ever happened, that we'd meet there and find human bodies. That's what I'm going to do once I get out of here."

"It's dangerous, Kara. You won't survive it," said Rajika.

"I don't plan on it. I just need to get to the human world. You need to go. I will see you there and we'll find Kurama together, okay?"

They nodded and left. I was on my own now that visiting hours are over.

Now it was time to carry out my plan.

The guard came to deliver dinner, sliding the tray inside the door. I ate what I could before I decided to leave. I sat at the small desk in my room, finalizing the plan. It was time.

I began inspecting the lock when I heard a noise coming from down the hall.

"Kara, come on. I'll help you out." Who was that?

She came into the light. It was Rajika.

"What are you doing here," I asked.

"What do you think? I'm helping you out."

I nodded, "Okay." She smiled, holding up a key ring with a small key on it.

"Guess what I got off the guards?" I chuckled.

"Good one, Rajika." She unlocked the door and we ran outside when the guards were not watching.

Rajika ran ahead of me and we kept running hard. We had just managed to get past the outer gates when I felt something strike my back. I screamed and fell over.

Rajika came back to me, "What's wr-" Then she saw it, "Damn, you have an arrow in your back!"

I reached backwards. Searing pain ran through my shoulder as I pulled out the arrow. I stood up and we continued running. I was very weak. Running had worsened my injury. The arrow had stuck a major artery in my arm. The blood loss was high. My legs gave out and I fell to the ground.

Rajika had noticed this. She turned around and lifted me off the ground and onto her back.

Being elemental demons, we were both capable of outrunning the guards, but right now, I wasn't exactly in the best condition to run, so Rajika used her speed to help us get to the portal.

It was only a few yards away, but I was too far gone. I felt my body going limp. Rajika had noticed it, too, "Hey, come on! Stay awake! We're almost there."

My senses were dulling. I could barely hear what she had said. I tried my best to stay awake, but I was fading fast. We lost the guards before reaching the portal. Mei Kui was waiting there for us, "What happened?"

"The guards saw us and hit Kara with an arrow. It went through her shoulder and severed the artery. I don't know how much longer she can last."

I couldn't hold on much longer. We had to do this now.

"You're at the portal. We made it," said Rajika.

"Yeah," I said, "We made it." The last thing I heard was the screams of my friends. My world went pitch black.

3RD PERSON-

"KARA!" Both Mei Kui and Rajika were yelling at their friend, but she did not respond.

"Mei Kui, check her pulse." Mei Kui did so, placing her fingers on Kara's wrist.

She felt nothing.

"Um... there's no pulse. Now what do we do?"

"Let's get her into the portal. Maybe she can still find a human body before it's too late."

"What are you talking about? She's already dead!"

"That doesn't mean that her soul left yet." They picked up Kara's body and entered the portal. Halfway in, they felt an unbearable pain.

That's when they remembered; this particular portal only allowed souls to pass through.

"What's going on," yelled Mei Kui.

"I don't know. I thought we could get through. I changed the portal so that we could get through."

What they didn't know was that their bodies had been destroyed as a result of the portal's power.

There was a flash of white. The three began to drift away from each other.

"Now, what?"

"Now, we need to find bodies. Once we emerge from here, we have only a certain amount of time before we are erased from existence."

The space between them grew.

"We'll find each other soon. We should recognize each other."

"Yeah, see you in a few years." Everything went dark.
