Demon girl

Part 2 chapter 6

The next day the sun shone through our window as the morning was clear skies. As we get ready for school I realized that Devon and Jason were outside talking. “Star!” I yell. As she runs to the door I point out the boys and whispered, “Do you think they know that it’s our house?” she looks back at me and smiles. 

“Probably not besides they haven't seen us enter it…” I look back out the door to see them smiling like something was going to happen, something they would love. I look away from the door and continue to get ready thinking, ‘what if they saw me yesterday.’

In school, my class is silent. Devon and Jason never made eye contact and when they did they smiled at each other. I was so scared but never knew what was going to happen. After school, I stayed a little late to finish projects and study. Once I got home I headed up to our room. Star wasn't there. I began to panic and ran downstairs. 

“Mom where's Star?” I ask. She looks at me confused about why I was scared. 

“She went out for a bike ride,” she replied. I panicked more remembering what happened last time and ran out the door in search of Star.

The more I searched the more I panicked, and the more I panicked the more I was close to breaking. I was scared Star was hurt or worse… I stopped thinking and ran faster searching every alleyway and every dead end. “Starene!” I yelled. After a long silence, I hear Star call out my name. As I panicked searching from where the voice came from I turned the last corner to see her bruised and leaning against a wall. “Starene!” I say running up to her. As I come closer and see the damage, I broke. 

“Emma...” she said weakly. 

“Don't worry about it Star.” I looked around to see if the attackers were nearby. Nobody was to be seen. “Star who was it?” I ask. She weakly closes her eyes and points to a darkened corner.

“Oh come on that's not fair. We could have at least waited a little longer.” Devon Says coming out of the corner towards me with Jason following behind. Hidden by a corner they didn't see my demon but at that point, I didn't care. Devon had a metal pole in his hand while Jason had nothing.

“Why?! Why would you do that to her? She’s the kindest person I have ever met, she’s innocent! So why?!” I yell. Star, with tears rolling down her face she smiles. My eyes glowed a deep red, deeper than anytime before. My heart pounding trying not to kill them on the spot, I walk out into the light with my demon fully visible. They both take a step back in shock. 

“What the? What the hell are you?!” Jason says. I smile with hatred and look straight at them showing my eyes. 

“I am an overprotective sister for a girl that would never hurt a fly but gets hurt on countless levels by idiots like you!” I reply.

Devon takes a step towards me. Jason looks at him confused about why he would stand up to a demon. He swings the pole. Not wanting to hurt them, I take the hit. “Emma!” Star yells. 

“Don't worry, I'm okay…” my hands burned and my stomach was tied in knots. I stand straight and lose control. I opened my hands for a ball of red and black fire to appear. 

“Emma! Please don't do it.” Star calls out. 

“I'm sorry Star,” I say as the fire grew and was tossed at Devon and Jason. 

“Emma! Stop it!” Star screamed as tears rolled down her face. Clenching my fist the fire disappeared and revealed that Devon and Jason were burned. I fell to my knees and cried as I regained a small bit of control back. Fighting myself, it was the only thing I could do. 

“D-dammit! I-i didn't mean to do that! I swear!” I say looking up at them, I only wanted to yell at them, maybe a punch here or there. 

“You little-!” Jason says grabbing a cement brick and throws it at me… I flinch but feel nothing, I pause to feel if it hit me. 

“No…” I look up knowing I didn't take the hit, I see Star in front of me motionless, stunned, and weak.

“Starene! No!” I scream as Star collapse onto the ground. The brick hit her side. Star unconsciously hit the ground. My demon takes control, and I raise my hand with a darker, stronger flame. Throwing the fire at them I cry. “Sorry Star… But I'm not letting this one go!” I scream. Seconds later what used to be two boys who tried to kill me are now nowhere to be found. I fall to my knees in guilt. “I'm so sorry Star. Please don't be mad at me when you wake up...” I mumble, knowing she can hear me. Or at least hoping she's like me and can hear everything while unconscious. As I regain my humanity I pick her up softly and fly her to our house. As I flew crying softly I didn't feel the guilt of killing them, it didn't feel like I actually killed them. I shake my head forcing a smile. “They're probably in hell… if I killed them I wouldn't have used that fire… right?” I mumble questioning myself. I shake my head. “No time for mumbling I need to get you home…”
