I watched with great interest as she moved her body like a delicate flower. The way she swayed with ease and passion amazed me immensely. I couldn't believe it myself. This was what I wanted for myself when I get older. I literally daydreamed of the day hundreds of men would watch me in action as I portray my talent on that stage. But little did I know that my twin sister already had my life planned out for me.
Hello, my name is Melanie Martinez and this is my story. The story of my unfortunate life and how I got to meet a powerful demon king, Denver Hale.
You see, what you read earlier was something that used to happen when I was just a little child.
My mother was that graceful woman on stage. She wasn't a ballerina and nor was she some other sort of dancer.
Well, she was actually a dancer but not just any kind. My mother was a pole dancer that I adored so much as a kid.
To me, it was all about the beauty of it. I was just an innocent child at mind and heart and didn't see what the actual aim of her dance was as of then.
What kind of mother would take her kids to the club like this and do what she was doing right before their eyes?
Well, I didn't mention my dad at the beginning did I?
He was a victim of a car crash on his way to the hospital where my mother was giving birth to I and my twin sister. The doctor didn't tell her that till after she was done bringing us into the world.
Mom revealed this truth to us only when we were sixteen. She had originally planned to tell us when we reach eighteen but because we kept pushing to know she just let it out.
During those days when we were too young to be left at home, my mother always took us to the club she worked as a pole dancer, sat us down in a room meant for her to change and told us not to come out of the room.
Of course she didn't intentionally let us see her but I was the stubborn one of course and would always peep through a small opening on the door.
My sister, on the other hand, had no interest in our mother's work as I did and had stopped watching the very first day she had seen what mom does for a living.
She just stayed put on the floor and waited till our mom was done. She would sometimes fall asleep when mom took till night to finish.
Mind you, my sister, Delanie, isn't normally like this. My sister is actually a very manipulative kind of person. She's much more of a liar, exploiter, and a big thief.
It's almost like it's in her genes really so I wasn't surprised she would be the one to give me such a miserable life and turn me into a prostitute for her own benefits.
Let me not rush into things just yet and start it up from the top...
My mom had a magic hand in making lemonade and now that we were adults, nineteen years old to be precise, mom made me and Delanie help her out in selling while she went pole dancing.
We were just right outside our most visited selling point outside a school when a high school boy walked up to our stand.
"A glass of lemonade please ma'am." The boy said.
I poured out a glass for him and gave it to him.
The boy stretched forth his hand towards me with the money but Delanie snatched it from his hand.
"Delanie? Why did you do that?" I asked her, shocked at the way she yanked the money out of the young boy's hand.
"Shut up witch. Delanie does whatever she wants whenever she wants." Delanie replied to me.
"My change ma'am." The boy said.
"What change? You better run off with the lemonade while you still can or else I'll drink it too." Delanie threatened and stepped for then the boy ran off.
"Why the hell do you keep doing that to people?" I asked Delanie.
"Only the tough survive. This is earth and not some sort of heaven where you think good deeds would take you places." Delanie answered.
"One day this behaviour of yours would turn things sour for you." I said to her.
"Watch your mouth. You're only spared because you are my sister and mainly because of mom." Delanie told me but I ignored her.
People around, especially in this area we are now, always knew Delanie to be an awful person and had always tried to buy from me I'm her absence or just try not to look her way.
Most people ensure to come with the exact amount of money so as not to have their entire money seized by Delanie who would outrun the police anytime she is reported.
Actually, the police would still follow me home just to meet Delanie but not even mom knows where she spends the night in such cases.
It actually got to a point that the police gave up totally on her and told anyone who came with a report against her that it was a normal thing.
I'm so fed up of my sister. I don't even know who she got it from.
That day, after we sold the last batch of lemonade, I and my sister reached home only to hear loud shouts from right outside our house.
"Ugh! What is it this time?! Can't I come back home to a quiet house for once? It's been very stressful." Delanie complained.
"Stressful? You hardly did anything." I said to her.
"Yeah, but I went outsude with you. That is still stressful." Delanie replied.
I just shook my head and opened the door and to my surprise, it was our late dad's brother, uncle Gavin
73"So what you are saying is that Helen used a spell to capture Kyle? It wasn't like it was bound to happen to whoever gives her the crystal ball?" I asked."Yes. So now we need to find Helen and get the crystal ball back." Denver said. "You said you weren't sure if it would work. You sound pretty sure to me." I said to Denver."I sound sure because that seems to me like the only logical way to get Kyle out. I said i'm not sure because it wasn't exactly said, the way to release him." Denver said."There's a way to get Kyle back?"We both turned to see Delanie standing not so far from us."You found a way to bring him back and you both wanted to keep it a secret from me? What did you want? For me to continue wallowing in drepression?" Delanie said to us."It's not what you think Delanie. Denver was just worried about you. He isn't sure if breaking the crystal ball is the way to get Kyle out of it." I said to Delanie."Fine." Delanie said. "But don't try to hide such information from
72"So this was one of your foolish trickery." I said to Helen, angrily."What has happened has happened. How does it matter now? It's too late to go back now." Helen said and laughed.I tightened my fist, trying to control my anger."You can't possibly go through with this. She got involved. She tricked Melanie into it so she could have her way." Kyle said to me."I know all that but my word is my word and I can't go back on it. I have to do this." I said to Kyle and picked up the crystal.Melanie held me back. No! I won't let you go! I should be the one in your place right now. This is all my fault and I should be the one in your place right now." Melanie cried as she kept her grip on me from behind.I turned and hugged her for what I knew was the last time. "I'm sorry I can't stay." I said to her then pulled away from the hug. Delanie held Melanie close to herself and I took the crystal ball towards Helen and stopped right in front of her."So tell me... What is the truth?" I asked
71"No! Delanie please donn't do that!" Melanie shouted.Delanie made a zipping sign in front of Melanie and Melanie couldn't open her mouth anymore. Of course once again Kyle was the one who did it. "Under the condition that you will not harm me." Delanie said to Kyle."Selfish." Maco said."I like it." he added. "Where is the crystal ball?" Maco asked.Delanie stretched forth her hand in front of Maco and Kyle made the crystal bad appear on her hand. This was the moment we have been waiting for.Maco checked the crystal ball and seeing it wasn't fake he put it between himself and Delanie. "Now keep your eyes on the ball. Don't get distracted." Maco said.Still invisible, I stood in front of Delanie just as we had planned. Maco's powers were transferring to me but he had no clue of it.Just when we all thought that nothing could possibly go wrong, the idiot demon I and Kyle had punched earlier ran in and happened to knock me over while I was looking into the crystal with Maco. I f
70"You said Maco was the impatient type. How come he hasn't tried anything?" I asked Kyle."I'm surprised as well. He didn't even ask for the crystal ball." Kyle said."Do you guys think he has something else other than taking your powers planned?" Melanie asked."Our situation right now is definetely pointing to that direction." Delanie said.I got up on my feet. "We can't just sit down here and wait for Maco to do what he wants. We have to at least try to escape." I said."It's impossible to escape this dungeon. I already explained it to you before." Kyle said to me."It doesn't mean we can't try." I said to Kyle.I went to the door of the dungeon, holding on to it's bars I checked to see if anyone was there. There was a single demon keeping watch and I signalled him to come over."What do you think you are doing?" Kyle came beside me and whispered."Just watch and see." I told Kyle.The demon came closer and I recodnized him to be the stupid on that Maco always hit for getting thi
69(DENVER POV):What is it that Helen meant? It could only be a life or death situation. I know that for sure. I shook back into my senses when I felt a tap on my shoulder."Relax. It's just me." Kyle said. He sat beside me on the bed. Melanie and Delanie were outside."Still thinking abut Helen's words aren't you?" Kyle asked me and I nodded."Unfortunately I still am." I said to Kyle."Well... You are not the only one." Kyle said and there was a moment of silence between us."Do you think we can actually defeat Maco on our own? I mean, just the both of us." Kyle asked me."Of course we can. I am very sure of it. We already made a plan didn't we? But..." I said and paused."Judging by what Helen said to us, I don't think the girls should be a part of that plan anymore." I added."Honestly speaking, neither do I." Kyle said."What are we going to do now?" I asked Kyle."One thing is for sure. We definitely cannot tell them that we are excluding them from the plan which they were to p
68"If truths were as sweet as lies, humans will always tell it but lies are satisfiable to those who tell it. Lies are one sided. Truths are beneficiary to both sides yet they are painful." Helen said."Is there a truth we don't know?" Delanie asked Helen."There has always been a hidden truth between you, your sister, Denver, and Kyle. A truth that will shatter you all completely." Helen answered."A truth we don't need to hear." Denver stated."What do you want from us then?" I asked, despite Denver's opposing the idea."I want Maco's head and the crystal ball." Helen said."A crystal ball, I can understand. Why do you need the head of Maco?" Kyle asked."No reason at all. I just think it will make a nice decoration for my hut, don't you?" Helen said in response to Kyle.Helen laughed again. Her laughter was so annoying that i felt so much like shoving ear plugs deep down into my ears. I haven't heard a laugh worse than that in my life."I don't think we should go through with this
