1 Prologue

"I had never really given much thought about how I would die, but I guess dying to protect the ones I love seems like a pretty good way to go. My name is Kira but most people just call me demon girl. I was robbed of a normal childhood and a normal life just because of my father Garret, or Draco.

According to what I heard, my father was a loyal servant to the king until his thirst for power made him so much more. They said that Garret-- Draco -- wanted to be more than a servant, he wanted to have his own kingdom, with his own followers but that wasn't possible, obviously there can't be two kings in a kingdom. So he left the capital in search for powers.

Sure enough when he returned, he was a king and he had his own followers. He gathered criminals, ex convicts and Satan worshippers, people who weren't fit for society and wanted to build his empire in the capital, but he wasn't accepted by his friends and family anymore--well except for his wife, my mother--because he had turned to the dark side.

Garret built his kingdom outside the city and plotted revenge against the king for casting him out. He did everything possible, sacrificing as much humans and animals as possible till he got what he wanted.

After he became the demon king, Draco, all his followers were transformed into ferocious creatures known as Grey skins, and their main purpose was to feed on human flesh."

The violent knocking woke kira from her sleep. She climbed out of bed and went to the living room to investigate what the noise was about. When she got there, she saw an old man yelling at her mother. That would make it the third time this week, she didn't know what her mother did and whenever she asked, her mother would tell her not to worry about it.

The man kept ranting and shouting, Kira didn't hear exactly what they were talking about but she heard the words "monster" and "demon girl" then her mother started crying.

She hated seeing her mother cry and she hated the way the villagers were always mean to her and her mother. Red with anger, Kira ran to her mother's side and tried to support her mother. "What is your problem?!, Why are you always mean to my mother?!" She has never done anything bad to anyone but you still don't like her!."

"It's okay dear, why don't you go inside, I'll join you soon." Her mother tried to urge her to go inside but she wouldn't listen.

"Oh if it isn't the famous demon girl. I see you've come to fight for your mother. Why don't you be a good demon and just die?"

"You're a mean old man and I wish you'd just...just die!."

"Hehe. Well too bad, I'm going to live really really long."

He laughed like an idiot for a second and then he started coughing. Her mother tried to help him but he pushed her away, he held on to this throat as he slowly fell to the ground. He looked at kira like he wanted to strangle her and she couldn't help but smile, she seemed happy that the mean man was dying but her mother couldn't stop freaking out.

After few seconds of violent coughing, the man finally went silent. The young boy who accompanied the old man looked at kira, terror obvious in his face. He wanted to check on the man but he was too scared to move close to them so he just ran away.

"Kira, why would you say something like that?" Her mother scolded after he left, she knelt so she was at the same level with her. "I already warned you about this."

"But he was being mean to you!."

"It doesn't matter!!."

"I was just trying to help."

"I know my love, but wishing someone would die is a very terrible thing to do. It --" a stone hit her hard at the side of the head, cutting her words short. She placed a where she was hit and felt that she was bleeding. Another stone was thrown in the direction of Kira but she shielded her with her body.

The leader of the angry mob turned out to be the boy who accompanied the old man. He went to get help and they threw stones at Kira and her mother calling them names and threatened to burn down their house if Kira wasn't punished. "She killed my grandpa so she has to die too!." He yelled out.

"Yeah. She also killed my twins so she has to be punished for it!." Another man echoed and they all agreed to it.

Kira's mother shut the door and took her daughter to her room for safety. The villagers broke into their house and destroyed their properties and set their house ablaze leaving them to die.

As the flames consumed their house, kira noticed her mother was getting weak. They couldn't open the door because it was stuck and the only window in the room was too small for her mother to fit through. "You have to go Kira."

She ignored her and continued to think of anything she could do. She thought about breaking a larger hole in the wall but she didn't have anything strong enough in her room. "Kira, go."

"I'm not leaving without you mom."

"You have to, you know that's the only way."

She was right, and kira hated that. "Mom,"

"I love you." She picked up kira and tossed her out the window just seconds before the room was engulfed in flames.

Kira sat there and watched her mother die and there was nothing she could do about it. She sat there for almost an hour, watching their house burn down till the last flame was extinguished. She slowly got up, took one last look at the rubble before turning and heading towards the direction of the woods.
