A demon and an angel' I thought to myself as I sat on a chair in a corner watching the men eat their food and drinking their sake. I knew that I should get out of here as soon as possible. Ms. Coco might be pondering where I was.

"So my father was a demon." I whispered to myself, "That explains the citizens' fear of my dark power." And no wonder I get these evil and hellish images in my head, wanting to hurt those who taunt me, hurt me... I should ask Ms. Coco about him, I guess he was from the underworld, Hades. I wonder if I go down there, maybe I can see my father (since he died a demon, maybe his soul is down there). And I can go to the kingdom in the stars to see my mother. They can't just be wiped out of the earth, their body and their spirit. When people die, they either go to Heaven or Hell, right?

This made me more excited to run away and start my quest. I always dreamed of going on a wild journey across the lands and seas, discovering new things, seeing Mother Nature and her wonders, and other beautiful scenes. I planned from that minute that I will run away... tonight.

As soon as the men finished their meals, I quickly rushed and picked up their dishes and trash and cleaned up the table. I was washing the dishes when I felt some eyes on me again. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but my instincts told me to hurry up as fast as I can.

"Hey, little girl." the drunken host said to me, "Come over here, me and the boys want to have some fun with you."

I kept on washing the dishes, pretending I didn't hear them; I'm tired of being pushed around. I'm going to act brave and stand up to my enemies, since I need that training to survive in the world around me.

"Excuse me," one of his friend said, "he SAID to come over here. You don't want to disappoint us, do you servant."

I got tired of their laughing and seductions, so I simply said, "No, leave me alone."

And the room got completely silent.

I continued washing the dishes, suspecting that I told them off. I don't want ANYONE to boss me around anymore. Somewhere, I was getting more bold and confident. Some power was growing inside of me, coldfire.

I saw a shadow hovering over me. Before I could react, one of the men grabbed me and pulled me towards the others.

"How DARE YOU disrespect my orders and me? When I said I want fun, I EXPECT you to give me fun."

I smelled the sake scent in his mouth. I think they gone too far with the drinking. He threw me to the others and I was a ball to them. Suddenly, I was pinned down by one of them. At this time, my rage and hatred boiled up inside me. I was ready to erupt.

I felt his hand grabbed my shirt. I knew what he was going to do next.

"NO! STOP IT!"

I felt his bare hands under my shirt.

I was in tears "I'M SORRY!!! PLEASE STOP IT!!!"

"Too late" the host said, "You disobeyed, you received the punishment."

My clothes were torn up. I kicked the man that was pinning me down in the face. He flinched and I tried to run away, but ended up caught by another by the leg.

"Where are you going?" he said as I was sent to the floor again. The men toppled me, their hands going everywhere. My shirt was open. My skirt was getting shredded. They would not stop. I make them stop… I will kill them.

That's when I exploded. The hatred, the sorrow, the anger shot right out of me in black dark arrows. I couldn't see anything, but heard the screams of the men. I was scared out of my mind, seeing this black void around me like a shield. Sweat dropped like rain when I saw seven people, unrecognizable to my eyes. They wore black cloaks and had black wings.

"Finally," one of them said, "now you belong to us."

I finally came back to reality when I saw, with shock, blood on me and all over the house. The house was near destruction. The men had holes on their bodies, their eyes bloodshot, lifeless everywhere.

My eyes wandered across the room, and then on my body. I know I had to get out quickly, or else I will face execution.
