Chapter 1

[Author's notes: Hope you liked this story..you better cuz i skipped dinner for this... XD]

I can’t take the stress, it’s literally suffocating me. I had planned my escape, my way to the unknown, anywhere is better than here. I was created here, in this hell. It was a place where many creatures were made, yet I seemed to be their most prized creation. I’ve been told that I am half human and half demon. I am the creation of the imagination of man, the so called “perfect being.” I was created with tremendous strengths and powers. My most recent and noticeable are my ‘wings’ as they called it. I’ve learned to take them out and put them back in myself but they never allowed me to use them.

My brain runs twice as fast as humans, so I am able to do much more and learn much quicker than they do. Because of that they put me through tests everyday, torturing me, to see how much I could take physically and mentally. It is unbearable pain. However, being around them so much has allowed me to pick up their language.  Although I’ve never spoke a word to them, I have heard their stories about the world outside; about their families, friends, and such. It gave me a yearning to learn and understand those things outside these walls. A yearning to be free. I have only heard that word once before and immediately understood what it meant…escape.

They fear me and I can smell it. Because of their fear they always keep me under surveillance, but recently I have overheard them say that they would stop watching me during the day. I consider them my enemies and I have never underestimated them…until now. They know the strength of my demon side, that’s why I can hardly stay awake during the day. But what they don’t know is that the human side of me has also been developing, allowing me to stay awake longer during the day. Another advantage of mine is that I have not shown them my full capacity. Today would be the day I have decided to escape.

The lights in my cell suddenly went off, allowing the darkness to consume me. To the human eye everything would be pitch back, but I am able to turn on my demonic senses whenever I please. I am able to see ultraviolet light, gamma rays, most of the electromagnetic spectrum with my demonic sense. I have found out that I am even able to do hypnosis, putting humans in a short trance.

I stood up to search for any flaw in my cell. They usually had repaired anything that I had damaged and would put me to sleep if I tried to resist. I slowly scanned the cell, being very careful not to miss any detail, and I found it. I found a small crack in the wall; I knew that that was more than enough to allow me to break through this wall.

I took a deep breath knowing that I would have to go all out in order to leave this horrid place. I lifted my fist, and with a rush of adrenalin, punched the wall. The wall exploded and I was instantly blinded by light; I hissed and quickly shut off my demonic sense.

I opened my eyes to find green below me and blue and white above me. “Ah, this must be the sky and the ground!” I said excitedly. I look up and notice the source of light is a giant ball of orange in the sky. I felt half my body comforted by its warm light and half my body hated the feeling. “The great sun.” I whispered in awe at the sight. I took another deep breath, noticing all the different smells and this clean air made me feel like I was becoming stronger with each breath, until I smelled it. I smelled the fear.

My mind immediately conflicted itself, half of me wanted to attack, but the other half wanted me to run to freedom. I had decided to run, and their shouts became faint quickly. I soon realized that my feet weren’t touching the ground anymore, and there was a thumping sound getting louder and louder. I looked over and found my wings moving, I was unconsciously flying. It was an amazing feeling, but I wasn’t able to enjoy it very long because I noticed something approaching me with incredible speed. I quickly turn around to find one of their gadgets darting straight toward me.

[End notes: I hope I gave the impression that she looks like an angel, even though she's half demon. Sry not much of a cliff hanger, but I'm super tired... just came back from being Whinnie the Pooh at a kids party, those costumes can kill... O.O"]
