thedressingroom: Demon
I'm a demon.
Well, technically, it's more like part-demon, but ...it's not like I can pour my blood through a sifter and set aside what the Demon let grow in me over the years. It's just ... in me.
I'd been kind of seeing this woman when I found out - in fact, I found out because my blood was what the healer used to save her. So, I freaked out, ya know? How do you even begin to deal with having the blood of your enemy under your skin?
I walked away from her, said it couldn't work with what I am, because ... I didn't want her to be a target of the thing that tainted me ... and I didn't want her to be around if I did something ... demonic. I even told my brother the truth and he- ... well, he didn't take it well, ended up having a heart-to-heart with my lady, telling her everything - like I hadn't kept it from her for good reason.
And now? The both of them just want to act like nothing's changed, like me being a demon doesn't change who I am to them, like if we all just close our eyes and pretend the devil's not sitting on the bigass elephant in the middle of the room, then ... it'll all be just like it was. But it can't be.
I'm a demon.
And I don't quite know what to do with myself now.
