+Anima Fan Fiction ❯ A demon's love ❯ Alone Again ( Chapter 1 )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
I laid out in the cool damp grass as I let out a sigh. As usual I was bored like any other day of my life. I looked up at the clouds above me while the wind ruffled though my hair as I sat up and stretched my arms. I could see and hear children playing and giggling with their parents, young couples holding hands as they talked and laughed, the sound of cars driving past the park every now and then. I glanced at a small family playing with their youngest child; he seemed happy. I glanced at the child’s face I couldn’t help but to laugh but soon stopped and sighed again.
Its bin almost sixteen years since my father’s death and I couldn’t help but to think of the times I spent with him before he died. It’s seemed to long ago since he left us. And then my mother died of a car accident shortly after his death and now I’m stuck with my step mother, Terra. I don’t recall the last time I ever saw her smile; in fact I hardly ever seen her smile since my parents died. All it seems she ever does is try to groom me into a young lady. But it didn’t feel right for me I didn’t want to be a lady; or think about it for that matter. She would always tell me that I had to stop acting like a child and act more like a young lady or I wouldn’t find a guy, to her is seemed childish.
But I was only sixteen it didn’t bother me anymore then it did to Terra. I was only human after all…After the death of my parents I promised to never love anyone or anything anymore then what I did now. But it seemed to bother me the most was watching couples walk past me holding hands, and telling them how much they loved each other.
It made me sick to the stomach. I could never love again…. Not after what happened to my parents. Terra once had a boyfriend and was killed by Demons.
I never really understand Demons; they seem so human… at least that’s what I thought at least. Terra would never talk about Demon’s she would always tell me to stay away from them and that they were heartless, hollow, and cruel Demons. I heard a lot about how reckless and how often they come out and attack people, and left with serious injuries; or worse. I sometimes hear that some can shape shift into creatures, and how they have no emotions in their hearts; only death.

Every time I thought about this it made my head hurt, so I got up and as usual I walked down the dark pavement of the of the cement that followed down the park’s long path, till I came to an opening were a large fountain sat in the center on the large space.
Just then I heard something come from behind me.
“Hiya Thorn!” The voice yelled.
I slightly turned my head to see who it was.
“Hello Kida.” I replied back.
“What’s up? I haven’t seen you in ages!” She asked me in a cheerful voice with a smile that seemed too big for her face. I had to smile too, Kida could make anyone smile. I let out a deep sigh and replied.
“Same thing I do everyday I guess…” I paused then continued.
“And you’re self?”
Kida’s smile grew bigger then let out a loud squeal of laughter.
“Guess what? James asked me on a date and latter he’s going to take me to the movies! And-” she stopped and hesitated but looked up at me.
“Opps, I’m sorry Thorn. I forgot you don’t like it when I talk about boyfriends…sorry.”
“Its okay Kida, it’s nothing really. But that’s great to hear.” I replied in a causal voice. I don’t really mind that she talks about James its just she never stops talking about him. And it’s kinda driving me up the wall! I let out another sigh and continued to walk down the park’s path with Kida beside me.
“So Thorn-” she began.
“I know its bin sixteen years now and you still have no boyfriend and all. Well I was thinking…me and James are planning to have a party at his house in a few months; we were kinda hoping you could come…with a guy…-”
”I’m sorry Kida but I’m not going…and I’m not bringing anyone with me.”
I replied back in a dark voice. Kida only glanced at me and lowered her head.
“Sorry Thorn…”
We continued to walk until we stopped to walk until we reached we stopped at the rim of the fountain.
“Shouldn’t you be at home watching over you brother and sister?” I finally ask her.
“Not really, my dad is at home so he’s watching them. As long he doesn’t fall asleep again.” She replied and smiled again and started to giggle.
“Well I should go I’ll see you on Monday Thorn.” She said as she turned the opposite way and waved to me and ran off, and I waved back. After I watched Kida disappeared I looked at the crystal clear water and gazed at my reflection. All I could see was my long hair in my face covering my eyes. There was hardly anyone around in this park around this time so I just walked to a near by tree and sat in the shad and relaxed. It was all quiet, It seemed to help me calm down a little.
