As she bide her father goodbyeMary walked out side and shut the door behind her.

"Just wait until I'm ready to fight you, cause when I do I will kill you. Until then I'm stuck here with you." She thought as she looked back at the mansion.

She walked down the dirt road and out of the gates. Once Mary was three blocks away from her "home" she stopped walking and took off her brown leather knapsack . She took off her dress shoes, knee high socks, undid the first two buttons on her blouse, took the bobby pins from her hair and shook it loose. She threw the items in her knapsack, and yanked on a pair of boots as the people passing on the streets looked at her as if she had just dropped down from a spaceship. It was odd but she had been doing this for the past three months. It amused her to see the looks on peoples faces as she altered her school attire in the middle of the sidewalk. Mary threw the knapsack over her shoulder and headed to the library that her Grandfather owned.

She walked through the double doors of the library and smiled as she took in the sent of the leather bound books. It was her favorite place to be, besides the shower. An old man about seventy years In age. looked up from his book and smiled at her.

"Ah Mary, I see you didn't get side tracked today."

She smiled back at him. "Nope, no demons on the streets today. Granddad."

"Good. Sit, I found some things that may be helpful to you."

Mary nodded and took a seat next to him.

"I've looked up human sacrifice in many books and have found some reasons why your father killed your mother." He pointed to an torn page in his book.

"Many people believe that if you kill someone close to you, you will gain demonic powers given to you by the demon king himself. If that's not the reason, then he killed her because he believed if he could kill someone he loved, then he could have the courage to kill many others as well."

"Some courage…" She replied sarcasticly. "I think he wants the powers. He's always been money hungry and manipulative, I don't see why he wouldn't want demonic powers."

"I don't think he loved Kalina either." Her Granddad said looking down at the floor.

"Then why did you let her marry him?" Mary replied

"He made her happy. I didn't want to ruin that."

Mary stood up.

"Well, I should get my guns from the back and look around for any demonic activity."

Her granddad nodded.

Mary walked down the back allies of the city with her pistol in her hand. Everything seemed quite today. She frowned and tipped over a trashcan with her foot. Still nothing came out and attacked her. There were no children screaming for help, or any homes under attack. She sighed and began to walk back to the library. She saw that an unfamiliar car was parked in the parking lot of the library. Then she recognized it. A wave of fear and panic crashed down on her. The car belonged to her father. And something was not right.

Mary threw open the double doors to find the shelves knocked over, and the books on the floor in a disorganized mess. The computers were smashed and thrown to the floor, everything was destroyed.

"Granddad?" She called out.

"Granddad?"

Still no answer. She ran across the room and saw something on the floor.

"Granddad…" She knelt by his body and felt hot tears flowing down her cheeks. His sweater was ripped and his body was covered in blood, he was dead.

"I love you." She said before standing up and looking around.

"DAMN YOU TO HELL!" Mary yelled out, knowing her father was there. She looked up to the only standing book shelf and saw him standing on top of it.

"You killed him, you basterd…"

"No, my demons killed him." He has a sick smile on his face.

"Did you think I wouldn't find out you weren't in school? You never come home with any homework or report cards, and when you come home you have unexplained cuts and bruises."

Mary pulled out her gun and shot at him. He dodged the bullets and snapped his fingers. Demons surrounded and disarmed her.

"Don't hurt her." Arkham said to them with a smile. They backed away from her and two grabbed her arms bringing them up to the bookshelf her father stood on. She struggled and kicked at them but they didn't respond. Arkham bent down, grabbed her by the hair and pulled her upwards. She was off the ground and know kicking the air and clawing at his hands.

"Let me go!" She yelled.

Arkham laughed.

"You will pay for betraying me."

"Betraying you? You killed my mother, I saw it. Attacked by a demon my ass. You were the only demon in that house!" Mary yelled as she kicked the book shelf down.

Her father let go of her as he fell. She landed on her feet and pulled a dagger from her weapon holster. She walked over to her father and brought her hand up to stab him. But he grabbed it and hit her in the face. Mary flew back as he got up off the floor. She got up as well. One of the demons shot fire at her but had missed and hit a book. She picked it up and ran over to her father. Mary jumped over the over turned bookshelves and hit her father in the face with the flaming book, right on his left eye. He fell to the ground as Mary ran out of the library and down the street. She didn't know where she was going to go, but she had to get away.
