Leo showed me the way back to the house on his land, we had to go by foot because the wolf’s bane was still in our system. Seeing the familiar house put Joy and a sense of peace in my mind. I couldn’t believe I made it out of there alive, we both did. I looked over at Leo and he was giving me a weird look, like he didn’t know who I was anymore. The joy I was just feeling vanished and was replaced with worry.
He didn’t say anything as he walked past me in the door of the house. I didn’t know what was wrong but the only thing I knew was that he wanted to be alone. I walked in after him and went to the kitchen, I was starving. I grabbed a plate and made me a sandwich grabbing a soda out of the fridge as well. I wasn’t fed while I was captured, they only forced water down my throat to keep me alive for a little while. As I ate, I watched my wounds slowly close.
Just then I remembered something, something I should never have forgotten. The winged creature, why he just popped in my mind I couldn’t tell you. Justin I heard something like wings flapping, flying over me. I went to the window and looked up realizing that it was now dark and seeing the creature again. Horns as big as a Deer's, wings as long as a person.
I watched him fly away, not really sure how to feel about the situation. I walked up to Leo’s room once I put my plate in the sink. I knocked on the door softly hearing him stir inside. He came and opened the door after I knocked again, he didn’t say anything as he looked at me.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Like I’m someone you’ve never met.”
“What do you mean? You are a different person, not the one I mated with.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“Exactly what I said, you’re someone else, you weren’t just a human, you’re a creature of the dark.”
“ I don’t know what I am, all I know is that this power that came when I saw you getting tortured, when you didn’t listen to me and stayed away.”
“ I couldn’t stay away, you’re my mate my true love, yet you're someone completely different.”
“ I need your help to know what I am. I have no control over this and neither do you. All I know is that you are my mate, my true mate. So please help me and be my soulmate.”
He looked at me for a moment realizing what I had just said. He then nodded for me to come in and sit down. I sat down at a desk that was in the corner of the room, and waited. He sat down on his bed and looked at me for a moment before he spoke.
“That power, the fire, only demons have that power.”
“What do you mean demons?”
“ I mean creatures that have wings and horns and tails that can slice you open. They are evil and will kill anything that gets in their way.”
“Are you saying I’m one of these creatures, a demon?”
“That is exactly what I’m saying. So now not only are you a demon, but you’re also a werewolf, you are now the first hybrid.”
“That makes no sense, wouldn’t there be some sign before I became this?”
“Normally you would already know, but it almost seems like it was repressed somehow.”
“What do you mean?”
“In other words, someone very powerful put a block in your mind and made it so that you would never know, probably until you got to a certain age.”
“It hasn’t even been my birthday yet, so how could it be a certain age?”
“Well when we changed you to be a werewolf, it must have made it so all you needed was a little push to open that side up.”
“So now I’m evil, and you no longer love me?”
“I still love you. Do you know if when you were a child, you got in a lot of trouble or couldn’t feel like others could?”
“Well yes but that all went away.”
He nodded like he understood, then got up and came over to me. I flinched when he touched my shoulder, not knowing what was going to happen next. But then I realized he’s not trying to hurt me he’s only trying to understand like I am. He knows more about this world than I do and I needed that. I needed to know what he knew, so I asked.
“Can you tell me exactly what I am?”
“You are the daughter of Satan himself, he lost you when he was in battle and hasn’t been able to find you. He’s been searching this world leaving behind bodies and blood. You are the prophecy, The first hybrid, royal blood, to become what you are and more. There are angels, demons, werewolves and vampires. Your blood is special and is able to combine each one of these to become the first Full blown hybrid there has ever been.”
“That explains the wing creature I have been seeing outside the house.”
“You’ve been seeing a demon?”
“I guess so he flies around as if he’s watching me and then flies away when I see him.”
He looks scared almost as if something is coming to get him. He looked at me and the message was clear, I walked out of his room into mine. I grabbed my bags and started packing, I felt so much pain like I was still being tortured. He then knocks on my door after I got most of the packing done, and walks in without me opening it.
“Look, I’m sorry but I can’t do this you’re supposed to be evil for you are this prophecy as well. I’ll tell the judge and everybody at the police station that he’s been killed in a fire after kidnapping you. They will believe my story. You’re clean and you’re safe.”
He then turns around walking out the door slamming it behind him. I sat on the bed putting my head in my hands and started to cry, I couldn’t hold it back anymore. Tears rolling down my face like a waterfall. I was this prophecy, one of evil or good, Satan's daughter, a hybrid, I'm now alone.
I grab my bags and walk downstairs, there’s only one thing to do now, find out what’s going on. I walk out the front door and just start walking, not a clue where I’m going but just in the woods. I look up to see the creature following me, but now it’s not just a creature, it’s a demon. I stop in the middle of the woods, drop my bags as he swoops down, to stand in front of me.
