New Beginnings - Ch.1

My life was perfect; until my twenty-first brought me horrible truth about myself and the family. No one told me, they claimed it wouldn't be worth it, ruinig my life, but it still ruined my life. When I woke up that morning, a felt different; stronger, faster, healthier, more beautiful. That was when I found out I was not human, but a creature of the night, not a vampire, not a werewolf, but a demon.
"Sorry, Amanda, I didn't want you to know about it; it runs deep in the family," my mother told me over the phone.
"What else haven't you been telling me? And I want the truth."
"I'm off today, I'll be over in a few minutes, then I'll tell you everything," then the phone clicked.
I angrily placed the phone on the base and went into the kitchen. Suddenly my mother appeared in front of me.
"How in the heck did you do that?"
"It's some powers we demons have. I should tell you everything, lets sit down," my mom walked towards me and we sat at the table.
"Mom, why is this happening to me?"

My mother heavily sighed and stared at me. "The twenty-first birthday is went the change occurs. Amanda, your father and I, we are wealthy demons on the other side. You have to come to the other side tonight and stay there for a year. There are classes for beginner demons, you should consider it."
I took in a sharp breath and quickly got up, and i went to the refrigerator. I grabbed a Mountain Dew and opened it.
"Mom, I don't want classes, I want a normal life like my friends at school."
"Well, you don't have a normal life now. If you don't want classes, then take a tutor. You can find good ones posted at Town Hall at the other side. But no matter what, you HAVE to go over for a year, or you'll die in the human world."
"Maybe that's a good thing," I muttered and then my mother appeared in front of me then she slapped my face.
"Amanda! I can't believe you! Your father would be pissed if he would find out what you said," my mother yelled.

I held my cheek where my mom slapped. It still stung, but I didn't really care.
"This is a gift which I actually enjoy. We can live five times longer than humans, you should be grateful!"
"Well, I'm not," I mumbled.
My mother groaned and placed her hands on her hips. "Please sweetie, I want you live well. You're my only child, and there are others like you on the other side. You may find love with another demon," my mom smiled.
I stood there and crossed my arms over my breasts. "Fine, mother. Would you like to help me with my things."
"No need, you get all new wardrobe and a new life. We should go here soon, so we can get your records transferred."
"Alright, mom."
My mother held my free hand and squeezed hard. "Lets get going."
I nodded my hand and we disappeared.
