I haven't eaten in days, I’ve been in this room ever since that day. I was getting weaker by the minute. ‘How is this going to make me stronger?’ I think. I can barely move, even if I didn’t have these chains I still wouldn’t be able to stand. I guess this is what get for being so stubborn and not wanting to trust anyone. If only I had chosen to stay close to them. The door creaks open letting a little bit of light into the room and cause me to jump a little. A tall person walks in, opening the door all the way letting in all the light. I flinch because the light almost blinds me(I had been in the dark for the past days). As my eyes adjust to the light, I can finally identify the person as Justin. I almost trusted him with my life. I always wondered where he went. Now I wish I didn’t. He walked towards me and stood in front of me. He picked me up and started choking me. I didn’t have any strength to even stand, better yet fight back or even give him a little bit of trouble so, I hung limply. He smiled and dropped me. I lay flat on my back gasping for air. “I told you I always get what I want.” He said. I just stared at him and tears flowed down my face. ‘My stomach is going to kill me before they even start their plan’ I think to myself. “What's wrong with you, this is the first time I’ve seen you cry” he laughed. Read walked in the room.

“Sorry to interrupt this reunion but we better start now before she dies of starvation!” he yelled and unlocked my chains. “You heard the man this is the last time you’ll be fully human.” He laughed. I have no clue what's gonna happen. I then notice that the nail right in front of me. They walk out of the room. I use the little bit of strength I have to try to pull the nail out. I gave it three pulls and it came right out. It’s a small chance I have to get out of this place, but I have to try. I roll over onto my side. Three people walked into the room. They walked towards me, two of them were at my feet, and one at shoulders. “We pick it up on three, okay.” The one at my shoulders says. “One….two…...three” They pick me up. ‘They called me ‘it’.’ I think. The men carried me to another room with the devil's star on the floor. They drop me in the middle of the star and hit my head on the floor. My vision is blurred. I can barely see whose feet were in front of me. “Think we should feed her first? It would be a shame if she died in the middle of the possession, especially after all this trouble finding her.” says the man in front of me. “We should let her take a shower and change clothes, it is a special moment she shouldn’t smell and be in a dress for this,” says Justin. “Fine get her something eat and take her to the showers,” Reed says. Justin picks me up like I’m a baby. “Been awhile since I held anyone this close.” he laughed. My eyes couldn’t focus on anything. My head falls back and my eyes close. “Hey, wake up,” Justin says as he shakes me as he walks down the first few steps. My eyes quickly open. I stab him in the neck with the nail. He curses and falls. I roll down the steps. I stumble for the door. I shake the door knob but it’s locked. I curse and scurry across the floor into another room. Justin grabs my hips and throws me across the room. I struggle to try to get up as Justin walks towards me with his hand on his neck with blood trickling down. He breaks off the leg of a chair. “You need to learn when to give up.” The piece of wood hits my legs and arms over and over. The pain increases. “STOP!” someone yells. As I’m on the floor with my eyes barely open and covered in my own blood a woman approaches my body. She puts her hand on my cheek. “Riley this has nothing to do with you!” Justin yells. I blink slowly and see everyone rush down the steps. Justin pushes ‘Riley’ away from me and punches me in the face repeatedly. The pain gets worse and worse. After a few rounds of punches, Reed finally yells “OKAY THAT’S ENOUGH JUSTIN, STOP BEFORE YOU KILL HER WE NEED HER ALIVE!!” Justin freezes and turns towards everyone. “IF YOU THINK I WON’T KILL HER JUST BECAUSE SHE'S SPECIAL, YOU'RE WRONG!!” he screams. Riley runs towards me. “Don’t even think about it Ri.” Reed strictly says. After my beat down through all the pain, I try to get up but I take a knee to the stomach from Justin. It causes me to throw up blood.

I look at the blood splattered across the floor and I can’t believe I lost that much blood. I can’t even believe I’m still on my knees. ‘Maybe I am special?’ I wonder. “Get up, If you’re still on your knees I’m sure you can get up,” Reed says. I spit blood out and it lands on Justin’s shoe on accident. I flinched, preparing for another beating, but Justin got down on feet and cradled me like a child. At this point, I am confused about whether he is abusive or loving. ‘No wonder our relationship didn’t last.’ I remind myself. He kisses my forehead. He picks me up and heads towards the staircase. Then we all flinched when we heard knocking on the door. “Justin and Reed we know you’re in there come forward with the beast!” Yells the outside voice. “Shit! Reed, I thought you made sure no one followed us!” Justin yells. “I thought I did too!” Reed responds. Justin then rushes up the stairs, and everyone starts rushing into other rooms. Justin takes me into the room with the devil’s star. He sits me down in the middle of the star. “We are gonna have to rush things up. So please don’t give any trouble.” he pleads. “Does it look I could give any trou-” Blood rushes out my mouth. Reed walks in the room with a small briefcase. “I have everyone else at every door and window so, it should give us some time.” He assures. “It’s time,” Justin says. “Don’t die on us,” Reed says. ‘This is some weird shit.’ As I lay down we hear all the commotion downstairs. Justin shuts the door causing the room to be pitch black. The darkness is disturbed when Reed lights a candle. He opens the briefcase and pulls out a small bottle. “This the blood of a royal demon. You will carry on their bloodline as Queen Typh Rossato.” He Proclaimed. He pulled a syringe out the case. “Wait what the hell is gonna happen to me?!” I yell. “You’ll just be a little different that’s all.” He assures. “That all?!”I repeat. “Reed hurry the hell up!!” Justin says. Reed fills the syringe with the blood. “On three, okay,” he says. I nod. “One……..two…..” he starts. “Oh for fuck's sake!” Justin says as he takes the syringe from Reed and stabs me with the needle and injects the blood. I scream in pain. The commotion got worse and so was the pain. I can’t stop screaming because the pain kept getting worse. Justin rushes over to me and picks me up. “We have to leave!!” Justin screams. “There is no other way out we have to turn ourselves in if we want her to live!!” Reed explains. Justin looks at me and sees my tears. I reach to wipe my tears but after I wiped my face I looked at my hand and it’s covered in blood. I stop screaming and exhale because I was finally relieved of pain. “Fine!” Justin says.

Justin, with me in his arms goes to open the door. “WE GIVE UP!” he screams. Reed opens the door and Justin steps out. I see red lights pointed at him. “Hand over the creature slowly!” a woman says. For some reason, I now hated this woman. My dress is torn and dirty, I have blood dripping from my eyes. As a reflex, I hold onto Justin tightly due to a man trying to pry me away from him.
