The metallic taste of blood filled her mouth with an uncomfortable warmth as she shivered in the soft evening light, clenching and unclenching her hands in a haphazard attempt to calm her elevating heartbeat. The cuts on her arms were beginning to sting as she dug her fingernails into her palm, a familiar cold rushing up her spine.

Fear.

Time seemed to stop in that moment as the light glistened off the shears held in her stepmother’s hands. The fingers holding the weapon were soft and dainty, but the vicious resolve with which they clenched the steel made her stomach churn frantically. The girl tore her eyes away from the shears and met her stepmother’s gaze, letting out a soft gasp at the dark eyes that stared back at her. The hatred they held was so deep, so foreign, that they glittered with a savage, inhumane glow. She stumbled as she tried to take a step back, a single thought racing across her mind.

“So this is what a demon looks like.”
