I hiss as the morning sun smacks me in the face. rolling over i land right on the wet grass, making me jump up at the little pricks. "Fuck. Alright I'm up you ass." i groan as i rub the sleep from my face. i can feel the deep laughter being directed towards me. "yeah yeah i get it you think you're hilarious Helios. " I quickly grab all of my things which isn't much its just my jacket that i used to sleep on and my bag that i used as a pillow. Throwing on my jacket and the bag over my shoulder. i start my walk to the drama that is my family. i have been away for 12 years, you'd think that they would be excited to see me but the letter that my father sent before i started my journey home said "Be on your Best Behavior Rose." well news flash father i will be exactly as you expect me to be. complete and utter chaos. i am the definition of destruction and i love it.
you see i was sent away to live with my grandmother in the demon realm or world. you can call it either. i was sent away to learn to be a "proper lady" little did my father know, grandmother was the complete opposite. instead of teaching me about posture she taught me to wield a sword. instead of how to act like a "lady" i learned how to be strong and a warrior.
My grandmother is a pure blood demon. i am not. i am still a royal blood but i have mixed or "tainted blood" as most demons or pure bloods would say. but unfortunately i am lykin as well. so i am powerful but i constantly have a raging war inside of me. think of it like fire and water. demons are like water calm but controlled chaos, and Lykins are fire, wild and uncontrollable.
"hey I can hear you bitch!" my lykin Nim yells at me. "I know why do you think i said it." she just growls at me and ignores me. "awe did i upset the baby?" i chuckle out loud at her child like behavior. The lykin side of me is always fighting with my natural instinct as a demon. demons thrive on chaos and destruction. pure bloods can control it a lot better than mixed bloods. being half lykin Nim can help contain the chaos but it usually doesn't last for long. usually its the human half having to keep the wolf/lykin half contained.
i scowl at the thought of meeting my father and mother again. i reluctantly push forward through the thick wall of trees. once through i see a large clearing that is surround by giant walls of tall trees that act as a perfect wall to the outside world. the tall light green grass gently swaying in the wind that holds the fresh scent of the mountains. i close my eyes just inhaling the smell. It reminds me of being at my grandmothers. Calming sounds of the trees in the wind, the smell of the mountain air. When i finally open my eyes i can't held the wave of sadness that try's to creep through my chest, knowing i may never get to go back.
clearing my throat i focus on finding my way to my families home.
My father has always told me as a child, " We are royals, other beings look to us for safety. it is our responsibility to take care of those who cannot care for themselves." our territory is built to be a safe haven to all creatures. we have a couple stores and restaurants to make creatures that can't pass as human feel safe and have the life that they desire for themselves. those who wish to go out and be among humans are aloud but they are not to being them home.
once i reach the road that my families home is on i stop and sigh. i look to the light blue sky that is just asking me to paint it. "please let this go smoothly. please please please." "control hun, it's all about control." Nim chimes in. "i know i just hope i can keep myself contained."
i look down at my hand that's covered in the black markings gifted to me by grandmothers friend. "it'll be hard since i am the complete opposite of what they want, they are going to make me lose control." "I will be there with you every step of the way. We will make it through this together." "thank you." i sigh once more trying to calm myself by looking at the calm blue sky. as i regain my courage to start walking i see a black SUV drive slowly past me, all of the windows are tinted and it is driving a little too slow. choosing to ignore it since not just anyone can get past the security that is in place, it must be a visitor. walking to my parents house i make it around the giant
fountain in the center of the drive way and towards the staircase. once i have reached the giant wooden doors i turn to see three SUV's in the driveway. "fucking great." i say out loud. taking one last calming breath i open the door and push myself inside.
I don't look around simply because I don't want to relive the awful memories i have of this hell hole. instead of reminiscing i bolt for the left stair case quickly making my way to my room. at the end of the ridiculously long hallway i reach my door. it is much like the other dark red oak doors, except there is three giant claw marks along the front of the door. courtesy of my mother.
i grab the door handle and slowly turn it like my doom awaited me on the other side. simply because i felt if i opened the door i would be stuck here. i wouldn't be able to turn tail and run. i mean in human years i am a legal adult they legally wouldn't be able to touch me in the human world. but in the demon world i was considered royalty. deeply sighing i turn the knob and push.
When i enter the room i was expecting it to look just like i had left it years ago but instead it seems mother had the room completely redone.
the first thing i notice is the silver and crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, there is a giant grey still lookin thing in the center of the room, there is two dresses that are both white, there is huge mirror covering most of the wall beside the bed. the bed has got to be a queen. the blankets are white and the pillows are white. there are white sheer curtains hanging in front of the bed from the ceiling. "Am i even in the right room?"
"Oh yes miss you are, i suppose you are rose?" startled by a mans voice behind me i jump to see a older man with his light gray and white hair slick back and he's wearing a butler outfit that looks like it was pulled straight out of a manga.
"Oh yes sir." I say quickly. "You are expected to be at breakfast, and training this morning." i nod slightly "okay." he disappears from view. i shut the door and sigh.
Today is going to be a great day.
