The first mark

Blinking her eyes open, Ibby had a blurry vision, but as she blinked a few more times, it cleared. Ibby looked around and realized she was sleeping on the floor of her room. She looked around and saw that her room, is trashed. Her usually organized bookshelf was opposite where it always stood lying on the face, and the books were all over the place. Her clothes were a mess. Everything was just out of order.

Ibby couldn't have done something like this, and she didn't understand why someone would enter her room and trash it, nor could she see how anyone could enter without the house key.

To be sure, she slowly got off the floor. She stumbled a bit before she caught herself. After making sure she was steady, she left her room and slowly descended the spiral staircase, looking around suspiciously.

When she finally made it to the front door, she twisted the handle to see that it is locked, meaning her mom didn't come home, and if it wasn't her mom -though her mother had no reason to trash her room unless she was angry at Ibby for braking the rule- then who was it?

Brushing off the topic, Ibby shrugged her shoulder and went back upstairs to clean her room.

Ibby laid down on her bed and closed her sleepy eyes, preparing for a nap when she heard a loud growl outside. She jumped in surprise and moved over to her window, she peeped out and saw nothing, she sighed and relaxed her shoulder, lying down again.

Ibby heard another growl outside, only this time it was louder. She got up again, however this time, she wasn't surprised. She looked out the window once more and was surprised when she saw red eyes in the bushes right underneath her window.

She shrugged and went to sleep, forgetting to close her window.

She woke up and stared at the ceiling for a while before turned her head and looked at the alarm clock placed on her nightstand, only to see that she had only slept for an hour. She sighed in contempt as she had wanted more rest.

She turned her head to look back at the ceiling before sighing and pulling herself up into a sitting position. She stretched and stood up. After a nap in the middle of the day, Ibby's body was feeling sweaty.

She got up and pulled out a shirt from her closet along with short shorts to go underneath before grabbing her towel from a rack. She went to the bathroom that was beside her closet.

She was in front of the mirror when stripping, so the foreign mark on her shoulder blade did not go unnoticed. Ibby ran her finger over the tattoo in confusion.

The mark had a demon wolf-like face with the outlines of fire dancing around it. The demon face had large fangs that looked as if it could tear through human flesh without much hassle, and the menacing look in its dark red eyes -that had been so dark it almost blended with the black outlines- told her it would enjoy it.

somewhere far away from Ibby, a total of seven people had sat around a table discussing things, "The door to my realm had been forcefully open, and hellhounds kept in chains have broken free." The lady had said, a look of anger on her face

Another woman said, "I assume we all have an idea of what this means."

"The supreme leader is alive," bright smiles were on the faces of all the women at the table but, there was one that was not in the slightest happy at the news.

'I cannot allow her to live.'

"Is there anything else to report?" Clarice, the leader of chaos, asked. She looked at the faces of all the leaders before nodding at Demitrice, the leader of destruction. Demitrice had his hand up as an indication he had something to say.

"The King of the hellhounds broke free."

Clarice smiled, "I was worried that we had no way of finding her, but the tracker on the hellhound will lead us to her"

After the meeting ended, the leaders went back to their respected castles. One leader had gone back to her palace and called on her best assassin.

"You called master," The young girl said as she kneeled before her master with her head down.

The woman gave her a device that would lead to the king of hellhounds. On the device, it showed that he was running at an incredible speed. "Follow him and bring me the girl he leads you to."

"Yes, master." And as quickly as she came, she disappeared.

In the Demon World, there were seven leaders known as Akumas. They each had their kingdoms with demons and half-demons that followed their every order.

Each leader is more than a million year old as they have been alive since the creation of demons, there is one person with the power of all the Akumas, and that person is known as the supreme Akuma or the Demon Queen. However, the queen disappeared during the war between humans.

And now she is back.
