Orphaned and lonely, the girl always just sat alone in the orphanage, just watching all the other orphans have fun. She always wished that she could have fun someday, but it seemed impossible to her, just because of this demon trapped in her soul. It was dusk. The girl went to her room and was going to sleep. As she thought in her head....
No one will ever like me. Maybe if I never existed, I wouldn't have pain. Maybe the world would be so much better off without me.
One day, a soul flew into the girl's room. The soul gently woke up the girl.
"What are you doing here? You should be in heaven, and please go away. I want to sleep and no one will like me because of what I am." said the girl.
"I am not someone you would expect. Unlike other people, I think you are not a bad person, even though you have a demon inside of you." said the soul.
"Is that truly what you think of me?" said the girl.
"Yes. Goodbye now..." said the soul.
The soul began to fade away. Hearing the loud orphans from the other side of the hall were thinking to exterminate the girl. She was horrified. The next day, the girl attempted to go outside. The other orphans were charging at her, but then the soul came and formed a shield protecting the girl.
"Don't put a single scratch on her. She is not a bad person." said the soul.
"Oh really?" said one of the orphans.
He grabbed a chair and attempted to hit the girl, but then the soul caught the chair.
"Though I do hate demons, I don't hate this girl at all. She and the demon inside of her are totally separate people. Though she sometimes fumbles in things, she still has talent. The girl is no longer the demon you hate. She is Shannon, who is totally different from the demon. She has the right to live, and nothing can break that right." said the soul.
Shannon cried as she heard the soul say her words. But then, behind her, an arrow shot her. She fell down, not making a single movement......
Epilogue
After Shannon was shot, you might have found this a sad ending. But that's not the real ending. It ended up Shannon was alright. She later then wrote in a journal....
Now I disagree with all of the doubts I've said to myself. Though I may have a demon inside of me, I am still a separate person. It's alright to be yourself. Perfectly fine. You must accept who you are, and you can't change yourself in any way. So I will just be me.......
Shannon
People no longer viewed Shannon as a demon. They began to respect her. Shannon was then adopted by a couple, that will truly love her.
