This morning at breakfast I saw my parents sitting together holding hands...which was very cute but all I could think about was how it would feel to take the knife that was in my hand and slit both of their throats....
How it would feel to have their hot blood run down my hands as they struggled to breathe.
I'm disgusting...I know I am. But it's not my fault...it's hers.
The demon...she's so evil...I can't even have breakfast with my family without turning into a cold hearted monster....
They ask me utterly ridiculous questions...they yell at me...I know they love me but I can't speak a single sentence to them without the demon spitting spiteful words at them.
They always get so angry with me...if they only knew....if they knew....they wouldn't be this way...they wouldn't endanger themselves by screaming at me.
Almost every conversation we have now always ends in fighting....the blood boils in my veins as I struggle to control myself.......It's getting so hard....so very hard.
She tries to take control as I sleep but I've managed to stay awake so she cannot escape.....
If she ever did......I shudder to think.
Is this my life now?
Is my life forever going to be a tug of war?
Will I ever be normal....?

" I'm so freaking excited guys! Liam is going to come to the dance!" Ella said, her green eyes sparkling with excitement.

" Of course he is! You're best friends with the principles daughter! I wasn't about to let my two friends go dateless!" Catherine said hugging Ella and Jessica both.

Jessica slipped out of her grip.

" No touchy! But thank you Catherine." Ella fixed her glasses before returning her attention to her friends.

" But Thomas still can't come, Catherine....remember? He'll be working that night..." Jessica sighed softly, sweeping a hand through her hair.

" Oh yeah...sorry girl..." Catherine said wrapping her arm around Jessica's shoulders.

" Stahp!" Jessica whined pushing Catherine's arm off of her.

" Sorry I forgot." Catherine rolled her eyes.

" You're such a touchy feely person...it's annoying." Leah muttered not looking up from her sketchbook.

" Awe you love it." Catherine said hugging Leah which made Leah's notebook fall onto the ground.

" Let go!" Leah pulled away quickly and bent down to grab her notebook which was sprawled open to reveal it's contents.

" Ooooh Leah! You didn't tell us you could draw!" Abbie gasped picking up the notebook before Leah could

" It's none of your business." Leah snapped, snatching the notebook away from Abbie with a glare.

" Well you're very good! You should enter for the art show." Abbie smiled unfazed by Leah's anger.

" I...." Leah started to say but went silent when a girl named Sarah walked over.

" Hey girls!" Sarah smiled with fake kindness as she tossed her red hair away from her face.

" Sarah..." Ella murmured awkwardly.

No one in the group liked Sarah.

Sarah was the school gossip girl and was always ruining peoples reputations.

So naturally conversations seemed to end when Sarah was around.

" Did you hear about Faith? I hear she was locked into a loony bin because she was raving about her attack to anyone who would listen." Sarah said in a rather loud voice, as to assure everyone heard.

" She was?" Jessica arched her eyebrows.

" Yeah! She was telling everyone that she was attacked by someone who's eyes were so pitch black and were filled to the brim with insanity. A demon." Sarah said seriously as though she believed it.

" Look as much as I love horror movies, demons aren't real." Ella said rolling her eyes.

" But they are! And I have proof...I've seen the demon...and she's a part of this group. She slipped up and didn't lock the door to the bathroom so naturally when I heard yelling and the shatter of glass, I went to investigate. I saw her, standing there with her knuckles turning white as she gripped the sink tightly. The mirror was broken but I saw what I saw...her eyes where dark...like a night without stars....and she had slammed her head against the mirror so she has a cut on her head......" Sarah's eyes scanned iur  group silently, her eyes accusing us all with her knowing glare.

" Well see you! I'll be in the red room printing out the photos of the demon....if any of you want to see this information for yourself that is." Sarah smirked before walking away, her hair billowing in the wind.

" What is her problem?! Why must she insist on lying to get attention?!" Abbie exclaimed throwing her hands in the air in exasperation.

The other girls exchanged worried glances.

" Oh come on you don't believe her do you? She's just trying to get attention." Abbie groaned.

" Abbie...what happened to your head?" Jessica asked suspiciously as she glanced at the bandaged cut on her friends head.

" I cut it during volleyball when the ball hit my head. You know that. I could ask you the same question anyway, Jessica." Abbie rolled her eyes.

" It was cut during self defense class...." Jessica said fluffing her hair so it'd cover her wound.

" And you, Ella?" Catherine asked suspiciously.

" I hit my head on the edge of the desk in class.. " Ella said arching her eyebrows.

" And mine was cut when that girl "accidentally" knocked me down with her backpack...." Leah muttered.

" Yeah, see! We're all just paranoid." Catherine laughed.

" Yeah. Let's just go....where we going today?" Jessica asked as she walked towards her car, she had gotten her license about a year ago, needless to say she was very happy that she could actually drive her dream car. A dark green 1967 Chevy Impala, four door.

" Uuuh, The copper kettle? I feel like a milkshake...." Ella giggled lightly as she pushed her glasses up, as they had begun to slide down her nose.

" Uuh maybe some other time....I've got volleyball practice tonight." Abbie smiled before pulling her hair into a ponytail.

" Yeah and I've got to babysit Jemma tonight." Catherine said.

" Maybe some other time..." Ella sighed slightly disappointed.

" Well I've got homework anyway..." Ella added.

" Guess I'll see you tomorrow....." Leah muttered before walking in the direction of her house.

" There's something up with her....I don't know what it is yet...but There's something up..." Ella murmured before she left as well.

The remaining girls exchanged looks before they went their separate ways.

The killer's POV.

I watched as the other girls left and cursed under my breath.

They knew.....

" I knew your idiotic ass would get caught." The demon snickered. She could care less if I was caught....if I died she would be able to take over my body. So she was actually hoping that I'd be caught and killed.

" It's your fault that WE were caught." I growled pacing around outside the school, the wind picked up which blew my hair back and a shiver went up my spine.

" We're being watched." The demon hissed.

" Who's there?" I growled while pulling up my hoodie to keep out the chill.

" Who else?" Sarah walked over to me with a smug look.

" Oooh I can't wait to dig my fingers into her eyes." The demon growled.

" Quiet. What do you want, Sarah?" I asked holding no emotion in my voice as I glared at her.

" Come with me....I'll show you." Sarah smiled as she began walking towards the school.

Since she was the school photographer, she had a key so that she could develop the photos.

Sarah lead us into the red developing room and turned to us with a smirk.....us? Oh god...Me.

" Okay I'm here. What did you want to show me?" I snapped holding my black knife tightly, but I made sure to keep it hidden in my pocket...out of Sarah's view.

" Just these..." Sarah smirked sliding over a couple of photos.

I narrowed my eyes and picked up the photos looking them over.

One was of me slamming my head against the mirror. The other was of me gripping my head as I stared into the mirror...my eyes were pitch black.

" No...why do you have these?" I snarled tearing them in half and throwing them down on the table.

" Blackmail." Sarah said simply as she waved copies of the photos in my face.

" With a push of a single button I can send all of these photos to the school newspapers...and I don't think you want that...let me talk to your....other half." Sarah smirked leaning back casually.

" No. You don't want that....trust me." I said softly as I slowly took my hands out of my pockets.

Sarah narrowed her eyes before she started reaching towards her computer preparing to push the button that would reveal my secret to the entire school.

" Okay, okay, fine!" I yelled before taking a deep breath.

" But don't say I didn't warn you..." I whispered before my demon took control.

" What do you want?" My demon snapped as she jumped onto the counter using it as a seat.

" I just wanted to talk about...the little favors that you're going to give me." Sarah said with a cocky smirk.

" And why would I allow you to blackmail me? You hold no power over me." My demon yawned, bored now.

" Well if I post all of the photos all over the school you'll get caught and they'll put you away and experiment on you....they'll probably find a way to exercise you and will keep you in a jar." Sarah smiled.

My demon was silent.

She hadn't thought about this but Sarah was right.

" Fine. What do you want?" My demon snapped.

" First of all your name....and I'll think of the rest later." Sarah said waving my demon away which pissed her off.

" My human name was....May." My demon growled.

" Nice to meet you May. I think we'll get along just great." Sarah said as she winked at May playfully.

My demon...May...gave me control, she was angry and needed to hit something so she took it out on me. I winced in pain, it felt like needles were piercing my skin all over my body.

" You will do whatever I say...whenever I say....or I'll show EVERYONE what you are. You're mine." Sarah said smirking.

Needless to say I was pissed....I was beyond pissed that this preppy brat thought she could control me. The blood was boiling in my veins, I lost control...I couldn't help myself....

The next thing I knew May was using my body to grab a fist full of Sarah's pretty red hair as I slammed her head against the table. Her head made a very satisfying crack as her skull made impact with the table... but she wasn't dead and luckily she was still awake.

It'd take the fun out of killing her if she wasn't awake.

May held Sarah's head up, giving her time to blink away  the spots in her eyes as she met May's gaze.

" So naive. You really think you can control me?" May smirked as she caressed Sarah's cheek before she leaned close to Sarah's ear.

" I'll let you in on a little secret..." May lightly bit Sarah's ear before pulling away as Sarah began to struggle.

May shoved Sarah's head into the water that she had used to develop the photos with and held her under until her struggling stopped.

May smirked before she walked over to Sarah's computer and deleted all of the files, she then walked over to Sarah and grabbed a fist full of her hair as she lifted her head.

" No one controls me." May growled.

I quickly gained control and I let go of Sarah's head.

Tears ran down my cheeks as I quickly backed away.

" Nononono.....no..." I whispered ignoring the feeling of tears running down my cheeks as I quickly ran.

Maybe....she was still alive...maybe she was just knocked out.....

I knew I was lying to myself....

She was dead....

I....I...killed her.....

After years of never l losing control...

I killed someone.....

I....lost...control....
