{Will you still love me.. when youâve met my demons}
â SAN FRANCISCO â
âDeanna?! Deanna?!â a woman called tapping a young girl who was lying almost lifeless on the be-d âsheâs not wakingâ
âYou donât have to worry yourself Millicent, Deanna will be fine. She has been throu-gh series of attacks but she always survivesâ Said Adam, Millicentâs husband
âItâs taking too long now.. itâs been two weeks alre-adyâ Millicent drawled
Adam crossed his hand over his wifeâs shoulder âDeanna will be fine. The doctor said sheâs okay and the priest alre-ady prayed for her.. you donât have to worryâ
Millicent let out her breath slowly âDeanna plea-se be fineâ
âLetâs goâ Adam took Millicentâs hand and led her out of the room.
đđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
âDeanna?! Deanna?!â called a de-ep manly voice
âwhoâs there?â Deanna asked looking around in fear. She was in a dark tunnel that was only little by a ray from the sun coming in from a crack on the wall
âDeanna?! Come to meâ
Deanna looked around but saw no one âshow yourselfâ she swallowed ha-rd âwhat are you and where am I?â terror made her voice shrill
âI am your godâ the voice thun-dered and the ground Deanna was stepping on broke and she fell inside. Deanna screamed at the t©p of her voice as she fell into the de-ep bottomless pit. She was still shouting as she sat bolt upright in be-d.
đ
âWhat happened?â she asked herself and placed her hand on her head. She was sweating profusely âAunt Millicent?!â she called âAunt Millicent?!â
Deanna got out from be-d and tried walking but she fell. She was weak and tired like she had been working for days.
Suddenly, the light in the room went out and the room got cold.
Deanna shouted âAunt Millicent?! Uncle Adam?!â
The sickly sweet smell of rotting garbage rented the air. Out of the darkness, something large and moist closed around her f!ngers. It was a hand.
Deanna screamed.
The h0t, moist hand was dragging her forward. She kicked out, struggling, but it made no difference.
âDeanna?! Are you okay?â Adam asked turning on the light in the room.
âAunt Millicent?!â Deane called realizing Millicent was the one holding her hand
âwhatâs wrong with you?â Millicent asked worriedly
âwho turned off the light?â Deanna asked
âmaybe thereâs a problem with the switch cause no one didâ Adam replied
âDeanna are you alright?â Millicent asked
Deanna nodded her head repeatedly âyeahâ
âyouâve been asleep for the past two weeks and you suddenly wake up screamingâ Millicent said
âTwo weeks? Was I dead?â
âNo.. you were breathing but wasnât waking upâ Millicent replied
Deanna t©uçhed Millicentâs palms and they werenât h0t and damp like the ones she felt. âwhat just happened?â she asked herself
âyour aunt and I will be in the living room.. freshen up and join usâ Adam instructed
âIâll go prepare something for you to eatâ Millicent said and walked out with Adam
Deanna sighed and got up to her feet âwhat just happened?â she dragged her feet to the bathroom and peeled off her clothes. She walked un-der the shower and turned it on.
LATERâŠ.
Deanna walked out of the bathroom tying a towel around her b©dy. After searching for something to wear, she settled for a turtle n£¹k sweater which she wore over a long flowing dress. She brushed her long wavy hair and put on her glas-ses.
Deanna walked out of her room and headed for the living room. Adam and Millicent were watching the TV when she walked in.
âAunt Millicent?â Deanna sought her attention
Millicent whirled around âDeanna youâre outâ she smiled broadly âI know we should be celebr@ting your waking up but thatâs all we can affordâ
Deanna smiled âitâs alrightâ and walked into the dining room. There was just one serving dish on the table and Deanna suspected what it would be. She sat on the dining chair and lifted the lid of the dish.
âBre-ad and jamâ she sighed. Just as she had thought.
Deanna emptied the dish in no time but she wasnât full. She sighed and drank as much water as she could to fill her stomach. When Deanna had drank to her satisfaction, she carried the dish to the kitchen and washed it then placed it on the drain board. She dried her we-t hands with a dish towel then walked into the living room.
âwhereâs Uncle Adam?â Deanna asked Millicent when she walked into the living room and found only Millicent
âHeâs in the workshopâ Millicent replied
Deanna sat on a couch and said âam sorry for slee-ping so long.. Thereâs no food in the house and itâs all my faultâ
âyou donât have to blame yourself Deannaâ Millicent said
âif I had been awake all these while then I wouldâve gone about with my p@rt time jobsâ
Millicent smiled âI think itâs high time we st©pped depending on your p@rt time jobs to provide food for usâ
âam not complaining auntâ
âI know.. but youâre not going to resume your work immediately, you have to restâ
Deanna laughed âIâve been slee-ping for weeks, what other rest do I nee-d?â
âyouâre still not going to start work yetâ
âAunt am going to âCoffee and Teaâ tonight.. my boss is very grouchy and might not even want to listen to why Iâve been absÂŁntâ
âDeanna?!â
âIâve got six p@rt time jobs and I canât afford to lose anyone.. every penny is importantâ
âI bless the day I found you. Youâre the reason I donât feel my barrenness. Even though I canât have children of my own.. youâre more than enough for meâ
âyouâre not barren aunt, youâre going to have children of your own.. I strongly believe itâ
Millicent smiled âAmen but am old to conceiveâ
ânot as old as Saraâ Deanna laughed and got up âIâll be outsideâ then she walked out
Deanna stepped outside and took in a de-ep breath to feel the smell of the wind.
âEverything is just as I left itâ she thought.
A ball c@mÂŁ flying at her direction and before she could duck it, it hit her on her head, sÂŁnding her flying to the ground and her glas-ses went off.
Deanna huffed loudly and glanced at the direction the ball c@mÂŁ from. A guy was standing beside a car and laughing his eyes out. He took one last glance and Deanna and got into his car. That was when Deanna noticed the long convoy of vehicles.
âRich annoying kidsâ Deanna cussed picking up her glas-ses and wore it. The cars started moving and she watching them as she counted the number of the cars.
â1, 2,4,3,8,12,6,13,17,24,24,9âŠ.â
âThatâs not how to countâ a voice said from behind
Deanna whirled around and smiled âStefan?!â
âlet me helpâ he stretched out his hand and she took it then he dragged her up âslee-ping Beautyâ
Deanna blu-shed shyly. Stefan had always been her crush in the neighborhood.
âI was worried thoughâ Stefan said âDidnât your aunt tell you I visited everyday and wouldnât leave cause I wanted to see your wake upâ
Deanna shook her head and her glas-ses fell out again.
Stefan bent and picked it up âitâs old alre-adyâ he said
âI donât have money to replace itâ Deanna said
âIâll get you a new one but.. must you always be a nerd?â
Deanna chuckled âbeing a nerd feels coolâ she glanced at the convoy that was still moving âwhoâs the figure?â
âmy cousin brother.. Damonâ
âyou have such a rich cousin brother?â
âYeah.. heâs the presidentâs third sonâ
âpre.. pre.. president.. as in.. Patrick Phili-ps?â
âyesâ
âThen whatâs the presidentâs son doing here?â
âDamon was here to visitâ
âHow come I havenât met him before?â
âThis is his first visit.. he has been here for a week while you were asleepâ
Deanna frowned in regrets âwhy did I have to sleep for so long?
âyou donât want to know Damon. Heâs a complete definition of trouble which you canât handleâ
âLike throwing a ball at me?â
âHeâs worse than that. Itâs good of him to throw just a ball. Damon us totally rebelliousâ
Deanna chuckled âquite opposite of youâ
âTotallyâ
âI want to take a stroll to âA movie at Bâsâ â
âThatâs far and you call it a stroll?â
âI donât have money to take a cab so I chose to strollâ
âThen Iâll drive you there on my bikeâ
âIâd be gratefulâ
âwait here.. Iâll go get the bikeâ Stefan said and I asked. towards his house. Deanna waited patiently till he returned with a motorcycle.
âShall we?â Stefan threw a helmet to Deanna which she caught. She wore the helmet then got on the motorcycle and Stefan drove off.
LATERâŠ.
â.. am so sorry Deanna but your service is no longer nee-ded hereâ The manager of Movie at Bâs said
Deanna heard her heart shatter. In all her p@rt time jobs, Movie at Bâs was the most paid and she couldnât afford to lose it.
âBut it wasnâtâŠâ
âwe alre-ady got a replacementâ the manager cut in and proffered Deanna with an envelope âhereâs your payâ
Deanna collected the envelope teary eyed and the manager walked out.
âItâs alright, you still have five p@rt time jobsâ Stefan pacified
âwhat if I get fired in my other jobs?â Deanna sobbe-d
âlet just hope you donât get firedâ Stefan replied âyou can always secure another jobâ
âItâs not easy securing a job around here. I didnât go to school remember?â
Stefan sighed âIâll help youâ and dragged her out.
AN HOUR LATERâŠ.
Deanna stood fidgeting before her boss at âCoffee and Teaâ. She had been fired from her other jobs and Coffee and Tea was her last hope.
âyouâre firedâ Deannaâs boss blurted out
âMa you have to un-derstand meâ Deanna pleaded in tears
âIâve got works to doâ Deannaâs boss stated and walked out
âGame overâ Deanna sighed and plodded out
âit isnât over yetâ Stefan said hopefully
Deanna wiped her tears and sat on the pavement âmy life is officially over.. I wish I didnât have to wake upâ
âDonât say that Deanna, thereâs hope for the livingâ
âReally?â Deanna scoffed tearfully âit took me so long to get those jobs now I lost âem allâ
you just have to keep prayingâ God is going to answer youâ
âWhere was he all these while I was suffering?â Deanna yelled
âCalm down Deanna. Itâs going to be alright and I know itâ Stefan pacified and dragged Deanna up âIâll take you out for a whileâ
đŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹđŹ
âI want moreâ Deanna told Stefan, shaking her empty yoghurt carton.
They were in a suspension bridge and watching the sun set.
âyouâve taken six cartons alre-ady, letâs go homeâ Stefan said
âam scared to fall asleep tonightâ
âwhy?â
âwhat if I donât wake up again?â
âyouâre going to wake upâ
âI donât think I want to ever wake up againâ Deanna broke down in tears
Stefan pu-ll-ed her into a hvg âitâs going to be alrightâ
Deanna sniffles âam sorry for crying again.. I just canât help itâ she pu-ll-ed from the hvg and dried her tears
âI un-derstandâ Stefan said and added âIâll go get the bikeâ

Francis found himself on the bridge and couldnât un-derstand what he was doing on earth. He felt powerless as he looked up to the sky âwas I casted out?â
Francis sighed Stefan beside his motorcycle and walked up to him.
âHey?!â Francis waved at Stefan but Stefan couldnât see him âwhat am I doing here?â he asked himself.
Francis tried tou-ching Stefan but his hand went throu-gh Stefanâs heart. he tried pu-lling out his hand but it was stuck. He felt a f0rç£ pu-ll him into Stefanâs b©dy and he got tra-pped in Stefanâs b©dy. Stefan drove his motorcycle to where Deanna was standing
âLetâs goâ
Deanna pu-ll-ed her long hair back and smiled âalrightâ then she got on the motorcycle.
€€€€€
âmom Iâll be outâ Tracey announced heading for the front door
Damon pu-ll-ed her by her hair âwhere are you going?â
âGet our hands off my hair demonâ Tracey shouted
âTracey I warned you to st©p calling you brother demon. His name is Damonâ their mother, Suzanne scolded
âbut he acts like a demonâ Tracey replied
Damon sm-irked âyou always make me wish I had a demonâ
Suzanne sh0t him a glare âno child of mine is going to have a demonâ
âwhatever mom! hanging out with my friends tonightâ Tracey said
âcall them over Tracey. The mansion is big enough to contain all your friendsâ Suzanne said
âBut I want to go out. Am tired of being ra-punzelled in hereâ Tracey drawled
âItâs not safe for you to move about at night.. youâre the presidentâs only daughterâ Suzanne said
âIâll take the securityâ
âThe presidential security moves occasionally.. you canât just take them cause youâre hanging out with your friendsâ Suzanne stated
âThen am going to impeach dad.. I nee-d freedomâ
âIâll be going out momâ Damon said and got up
âTake care sonâ
âwhat? youâre permitting him?â
âheâs a boy and⊠â
âwhoâs a boy?â Damon cut in
âsorry.. heâs a manâ Suzanne corrected âand I have three sons. Thereâs nothing wrong if I lose oneâ
âwhat?â Damon shouted
Tracey chuckled âThanks mom. you made my nightâ
âsee? youâre my only daughter and I canât afford to lose youâ
âmom for real?â Damon scoffed
âyouâre taking it the wrong way Damonâ Suzanne said âI just wanted to let Tracey know sheâs a kidâ
âmom what?â Tracey shouted
âcool mom.. you made my nightâ Damon chuckled and walked out
âmom am 18â old enough to go to jail and moreover Damon is my twinâ Tracey spat out
âI know sweetie.. I just didnât want Damon to feel bad cause Iâve got three boys.. heâs not as important as you areâ Suzanne said
âthanks mom, you made my nightâ Tracey hvgged Suzanne then asked âcan I go out now?â
ânoâ
âmom??!!!â
Damon hit the steering with loud music hitting the speakers. His friends were in the backseat while his best buddy, Ben, was in the pas-sÂŁnger seat.
Damon emptied a bottle of beer and threw it out the window. The bottle hit a car that was parked along the road and smashed the side window. The occu-p@n-ts of the car cursed Damon and went after them. They chased Damonâs car till they got to a dead end and the two cars c@mÂŁ to a halt.
âweâre in troubleâ Ben whistled as they all alighted from the car
ânot so doomedâ Damon said when they realized that their pursuers were girls
âyou damaged my carâ Courtney shouted and charged towards the guys but her friends st©pped her
âyou parked your car recklessly along the roadâ Damon said
Courtney scoffed and rolled her eyes âam taking you to courtâ
âletâs just make peace.. Am Damonâ Damon said introducing himself âand youâre?â
âCourtney Stylesâ
ânice name.. so youâll give me your contact and Iâll give you mine and everything is settledâ
âhow does that replace my car?â
âyouâll get a handsome guyâs numberâ Damon said and his friends bur-st into laughter, annoying the girls
âyouâre too ugly for meâ Courtney yelled
âOh really?â Damon sm-irked and took few steps towards Courtney. Each step he took forward, she took backward, till she hit the bonnet of her car and couldnât move again. Damon slid his hand down her p@n-ts pocket and brou-ght out her phone. He imputed his digits in her phone and took hers.
âIâll give you a callâ Damon said replacing the phone in her pocket. He win-ked at her friends and walked back to the guys âletâs goâ

Vivienne and Cipher stood at a corner watching the scenario. They were invisible to Damon and the others.
âIâll take the girl Courtney, she looks rebelliousâ Vivienne said
âI donât care about you but Damon is a perfect instrumentâ Cipher said and they walked to Damon and the others. Vivienne walked to Courtney and held her hand though Courtney couldnât see her.
âHi Courtney!â she sm-irked and possessed her.
Damon and the guys got into their car and Damon was about turning on the ignition when Cipher appeared at the window. He turned into a gust of wind and possessed Damon. Damonâs eyes turned red as he muttered
âDESTRUCTION!â
