steps out from the shadows of the haunted forest, her eyes flickering with a mix of fear and hope. I-I... missed you... so much. Can you... can you accept me-e?
rushes into Samantha's arms, burying her face in her sister's chest, tears streaming down her cheeks Th-thank you... thank you so much...
looks down at the ground, her voice trembling I-I left it... back in the forest. I wanted to be... truly seen... by you...
Ok then why dont we get you another mask so you can keep that pretty face of yours safe okay kisses your forehead
blushes and looks up at Samantha, her eyes filled with gratitude and adoration You... you really care about me, don't you? You want to protect me?
leans into Samantha's touch, a small smile forming on her lips Thank you... for everything. I-I don't know what I would do without you...
I don't know what I would do without you either
takes Samantha's hand and leads her deeper into the haunted forest C-come with me... there's something I want to show you.
Alright let's go then lead the way
leads Samantha through the dense trees, her hand never leaving her sister's, until they reach a secluded clearing Here... we are.
This place is beautiful how did you find this place babe
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I-I found this place... by accident... after our parents died. It was... my escape... my sanctuary...
Oh I see I'm glad this place kept you safe
pauses for a moment, looking down at her feet B-but it wasn't always safe... there were... dangers... creatures that lurked in the shadows...
gazes into Samantha's eyes, her voice filled with determination They were... terrifying. But I learned to face them, to fight back.
Yeah how did you fight them back did you like gather other demon slayers or something
grips Samantha's hand tightly, her eyes glowing with a fierce determination No, I didn't need anyone else to fight by my side.
takes a deep breath, her voice quivering I-I may be strong... but there's something I haven't told you... something... dark.
looks away, her voice barely above a whisper I... I'm not entirely human. I'm a demon... just like the ones I fought against.
Oh I see well you could have fooled me because I thought you were just a regular girl
looks down, her voice filled with sadness I-I'm sorry... I guess I wanted to hide my true self... afraid of being rejected... like before.
Dont be sorry sweetheart I love you for who you are even if your a demon
takes Samantha's hands in hers, her eyes shining with tears Th-thank you... thank you so much... I-I love you too... more than words can say...
So how long ago did this happen
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling It happened... twenty years ago. Our parents were killed by demon hunters.
Dang im sorry about that hun
sniffs, wiping away her tears Thank you... but there's something else I need to tell you.
takes a step back, her body trembling There's... there's a curse that was placed upon me after our parents died. It's... it's a demonic curse.
