My Fallen Angel

I wake up and find a text from Andy on my phone.

-Hey- It reads

Great... I ignore it and get up and head into my bathroom to take a shower. After I’m finished I have two more texts

-You up yet-

-Jeeeeesssss-

My phone vibrates again

-Text me when you get up it’s important-

‘Yea, important, you cheating bastard, I don’t give a damn what you think is important’ I think to myself.

I head downstairs and curl up in my papasan chair with the book ‘Star Wars: A New Dawn’

After about an hour of reading I get another text

-Jess look at your phone I know youre up pleeeeeeeeaaaasse-

I don’t text back and continue reading, only to be interrupted a few minutes later by a phone call and then a voicemail. I don’t even bother listening to the voicemail and I get another text

-Are you ignoring me?-

A few minutes later another

-Youre ignoring me... At least tell me what I did-

I think about texting ‘Figure it out bastard’ but don’t.

I turn on my TV and start watching reruns of Ghost Whisperer until, after about an hour and a half, my door bell rings

I get up and look through the peephole and find those infuriating icy blues staring at the door and he looks genuinely upset.

He knocks “Please just tell me what I did” He yells through the door “I know you’re in there”

“Figure it out, asshole” I scream

“Just... Let me in, we can talk about it” He says, but it’s not demanding
I stand behind the door for a good five minutes thinking it over and all the while he stands outside, quietly

Do I let him in? Or will he only betray me further?

“Why” I ask myself quietly and slump to the floor “Why does this always happen?”

“Jess, please...” He says

“Please, go away” I say, hurt in my voice and he notices

“Are you crying? Great... Look, I’m sorry, whatever I did, I’m sorry” He says and it sounds true. He sounds really hurt by the fact that he made me cry

I stand up and slowly open the door. When it’s completely open, he envelopes me in a tight, but passionate hug

“Now please tell me what I did”

I walk over to my chair where my phone lay and pick it up, going through to the text from yesterday

I show it to him and his eyes go wide

“I swear I don’t remember that. I-I’d never cheat on you. You have to believe me” He says pleadingly

“I- I don’t know... I want to, but I can’t... People just... I can’t”

“Just help me understand”

“I don’t understand!” I yell at him

His eyes are filled with worry and something else. Something I don’t know what it is, but I don’t like it. It’s like he pities me or something. I can’t trust him! What the hell was I thinking? I can’t trust anyone...

I stand there shaking, enveloped in my thoughts. I’ve started crying lightly and he just keeps looking at me like I’m some poor dog who just got hit by a truck. I’m trying so hard to be mad at him, but I can’t. I can’t... He’s gonna leave me... I just know it...

“Jess?” He asks with worry

“I’m fine, just please leave”

“Jess, I can help”

“No you can’t!” I scream at him and hit his chest

He grabs my hand and holds it in his softly “I can’t if you won’t let me”

“Maybe I don’t want to let you, Andrew. I’m not some broken toy that needs to be fixed. I can handle it myself”

“But you don’t need to do it by yourself, you have me now”

“And how well has that worked for me in the past?”

“Look, I know your ex was abusive, but- “

“He was just like you, loving, caring, always looking out for me, we had fun together, but
then he just” I start crying again

“I won’t be like that. I could never hurt you”

Flashback

- ~ “I could never hurt you” He says~

End flashback

“That’s exactly what he said” I say quietly

“What?”

“I said, that’s exactly what he said” I yell

He takes a deep breath “I promise”

“Promises don’t mean anything” I yell again “Just leave” I say quieter

He lets out a sigh of defeat “Fine, just, don’t do anything you’ll regret” He says then walks out the door and closes it behind him

How can I do anything I’ll regret? I’m a god damn demon, I couldn’t hurt myself no matter how determined I was. All that stupid survival crap in my instincts.
I watch as he gets in his car and drives away then turn my back to the door and slide down it. I look up and close my eyes and let the tears fall. I end up falling asleep in that position.

And the nightmares begin

Dream-

I wake up in a dark, wet cellar. I look around, taking in my surroundings; nothing too strange. There’s a light at the end of the stairs leading up into what I’m assuming is the main house. I go to stand up, but find that I’ve been chained down by my wrists. I look around, a bit frantic now, as someone walks down the stairs. It’s a man I’ve never seen before, which is strange because my nightmares are usually of the same person.

“What do you want with me?” I ask, no fear in my voice

“Ah, so you’re finally awake, Princess”

“Princess? Seriously, you’re gonna calm me some gross pet name?”

“It’s not a pet name, you are the Princess”

I narrow my eyes at him “What are you talking about?” I demand

“And as fierce as they say, I see”

“Answer me”

“What’s there to say, you’re the Princess”

“Of what?”

“I’ll let you figure that out”

“Let me out of here, now!”

“No can do. See, I’m gonna finally get what I’m owed”

“And how do you plan on doing that?”

“Didn’t I say? You’re the Princess; you’ll fetch a handsome price”

I feel my eyes cloud over as they change from their usual dull grey to the magnificent red and gold. I close my eyes. He can’t know. What if he already knows?

“There’s no use hiding what you are” He says as if reading my thoughts

I open my eyes and he flinches a bit at my fear inducing stare. My claws grow from my fingertips and my wings unfold. I do something I’ve never done before: Transform into my true demon form.

My tail unfolds, my horns grow to their full extent, my ears grow to a point, my hair turns completely raven black, and my skin turns almost as red as my wings.

I let out a low growl, that couldn’t possibly come from any human

“Ah, yes, there’s no mistaking it now, you are the true Princess”

I pull my chains apart and go for his throat

“H-How? Those chains are demon resistant. No demon could pull them apart” He says, amazed, and slightly frightened

“I’m not just a regular demon, you said so yourself, I’m the Princess” I growl at him and raise my hand to his throat and dig my claws in and rip out his esophagus. His eyes go wide and he reaches up to his throat as he bleeds to death in his own home.

“Don’t mess with a demon if you don’t know what you’re in for” I say simply in a growl like voice

I transform back to my human form and fall to the floor, completely out of energy.

Notes

So, the nightmares begin again. What do you think it means? If it means anything at all.
