Introduction
The last thing that I saw, before all that darkness had consumed me, before everything turned to a deep hole of nothingness and a raging fire. Was the spread of bone wings, torn at the end, like the world had rejected it's ever existence. And i was just a host to fill up that nothingness derived into a whole pit of darkness. After a life threatening incident, Dianna Keith discovers her life has taken a huge turn over that could destroy everything she's believed and dreamed of. And as the story goes by a young fiery spirited girl, she realizes she can never have the life she used to have before. Not when there was a tormenting darkness inside of her. Not when she was possessed by the ruler of hell.

Chapter

  There are some days when you think you have everything planned out. Days you feel are going to be one of the happiest days of your life. Days when you're supposed to have everything under control. But it doesn't always happen that way. You think it's going to be perfect, only you are not a fortune teller, so no, you don't really know what is going to happen or what could happen.

  Tragedies happen all the time, and the thing about them is that you never see it coming. It just shows up and bites like a bitch. Don't get me wrong. This is not a tragedy. It's actually quite the opposite.

  For me it was meant to be a day filled with smiles, kisses and so much love in family and friendship. But you see... With life there is always a turn of events.

  I'd been standing at the porch, staring into the peaceful night and beautiful stars with the sweet smell of bacon.

  I couldn't have wished to spend this day any other way. I got the two most amazing people with me and the best woman in the world checking on me every thirty minutes. And even though it hasn't been up to twenty minutes since i parted ways with him, i miss him already.

  I smiled to myself, remembering how we chatted for hours in the restaurant. Laughing at our highest volume to all his stupid jokes, not minding all the evil glares sent our way from different disturbed couples and workers. And how we jumped on to karaoke. Damon screaming on the top of his voice and my uncontrollable laughter.

  "Dianne! Are listening to me? "her voice singing from the other side of the phone.

  "Course mum. What were you saying ?"

  She let out a long sigh.

  "I said be careful out there, the clouds are getting angry, i think it's going to rain "i chuckled.

  "Okay mum."

  "I miss you!"she sounded like she was going to cry.

  "You said that thirty minutes ago remember? ...When you called? "

  "I know i just really miss you. Because you didn't give me a chance to look at my 'obviously already grown up daughter 'before you ran off with your boyfriend" i laughed at that.

  Is it normal for mothers to be jealous of their kids when they start dating? I don't think so, but my mum has always been jealous, since Damon and i started dating. She always felt like he was stealing me away from her and now i don't spend as much time with her anymore. "and now you're spending the rest of the night out with your friends. And i don't get any time with my daughter at all, that's unfair! "she whined.

  "Mum "i giggled "you raised me remember, which means you got to spend the most time with me, nineteen years of watching me grow into a wonderful woman, Don't you think you are the one being unfair? "

  "You are all i have left "she sighed

  "I know. And I'm not going anywhere, okay? "

  "Okay. I love you baby. "

  "Love you too mum "

  "Dian! Bacon's ready! "Faye screamed from the kitchen

  "Okay, coming! "i yelled back "bye mum, I've got to go. "

  "Bye baby, but don't forget you have to tell me all about your day tomorrow, including the date! And I'm talking details! "i giggled

  How did I get to have the best mum again?

  "Deal" i agreed and killed the line.

  "Wanca yijing zhunbei haole "Ming ranted

  My brows squeezed up to a frown. Ming begin half Asian always has this habit of ranting about how fast she has gotten to learn her birth language these past few months since she got back from China.

  "What's that? "Faye and i both said at the same time when she placed our dishes on the ground of her living room. Just the way we like it.

  I don't know, we have always been weird kids every since kindergarten, just the three of us, whenever we get together, we always ditch the dining to sit together in a small circle on the ground. It's kinda weird, but fun and our style.

  "It means dinner is served "she giggled. Flashing those incredibly white teeth and widened those big brown eyes.

  "Right. "I muttered.

  "Do me a favor, and save the Asian ranting for your own family dinner okay? "Faye tried to sound disgusted.

  "You are my family. Both of you. "Ming smiled.

  "Ohmi! "i exclaimed taking a bite of my meal "thisisamazing"i said so fast with a mouthful.

  "Told you so "Faye screamed directing her response to Ming.

  "I'm just glad you didn't burn down my kitchen "Ming chuckled.

  "And I'm just gonna pretend i didn't hear that "Faye replied with a smug smile on her lips.

  "Wait! "i just realized what they've been talking about."you cooked this? "i had an evil grin on, starring at my best friend.

  Faye chuckled a little "yeah so..? What's the big deal? It's just to mix a bunch of groceries in a pot and light em up "

  I immediately burst out laughing and so did Ming.

  "The big deal is you Faynelle Marshall. Only know how to light things up, and I'm talking burnt noodles! "

  "That's not true! "she laughed and playfully smacked my arm .

  "In case you forgot. Today is not about me or Ming, it's about you .you're the birthday girl, not us "

  Indeed it was. A day to be marked for the rest of my life. The day the inevitable happened. The day I'd been celebrating not only my escape of the womb, but also my acceptance into NYU. Fifth of April two thousand and two

05-04-2002

.

  A day that held so many memories. A day that started with the sound of laughter, a kiss to the temple and the ugly voices of two people i love so much screaming happy birthday.

  "So... "Ming pushed. I knew what she wanted to know, but i decided to play dumb.

  "So what? "

  "Where did you guys go? "Ming asked

  "Please, "Faye scoffed, dragging the word for emphasis. "they were probably hiked somewhere banging their brains out. "

  "My God Faye! No! "

  "So you guys didn't... "

  "NO! "i stopped her before she could get any further. Faye isn't someone that holds back on words. Between the three of us, she's the smartest, witty and blunt.

  "Chill babe, it's just a three Letter word, no big deal. And besides the hickeys on your neck speek a different language".

  I felt my cheeks turn red. Memories of a few hours ago flashing before me. Damon's contagious smile. His feather light kisses. His rough yet gentle touch that had me highly intoxicated by him.

  "He asked me to move in with him. "i spilled

  "Really!" they both screamed at the same time. "that's great .what did you say? "

  "I don't know really! Damon and i have only been dating for eight months, and my mum's already bothered that i don't spend as much time with her anymore. She's going to be broken if i go packing and leaving her all by herself. "

  "Okay, first of all. Eight months is a really long time. And if he asked you to move with him then he probably has been planning this for a while now. Not to mention you guys are both moving to New York for college so it only makes sense." Faye advised.

  "And as for your mum, you are already going to leave her anyway. You know, with college and everything. So you have nothing to worry about. "Ming chipped in.

  I sighed in defeat, knowing that they were right.

  "Are you sure you just aren't just over thinking it because you feel you're having doubts about him? "Faye spoke, catching me completely off guard.

  "What? "i replied too fast "no. I love him. I just... I don't know. This is a big step you know? It's not just the high school romance falling in love with the boy next door anymore. This could mean so much for us."

  "Well, figure it out quickly before you give him the wrong idea " Faye said, just as Ming's phone began to ring.

  "who is it? "Faye asked.

  "My Nana " a crease formed between her eyebrows.

  "Your Nana is here? " I asked surprised.

  "Yeah. I'll be right back. "she answered the line on the seventh ring and excused herself, leaving the both of us starring in confusion.

  "Do you think she is okay? "i felt worried for a second. Ming and her Nana never really had a good relationship. she only calls Her granddaughter when something is up.

  "She has to be. "Faye said more to herself than me.

  "Girls i have to go! "Ming cam storming back in, and grabbing her car keys.

  "Why what happened? "worry washing over me.

  "She fell! "Ming screamed in panic "i don't know how but she -she fell! "

  "Hey it's okay. She'll be fine. "Faye tried to calm her.

  "We can come with you if you want? "i asked not knowing what else to do.

  "No. It's your day today, you get to live it without any drama okay? "
