You and Celine have been together for several months now, and she’s actually a great girlfriend… She treats you wonderfully, and she doesn’t hurt you… Yeah, she’s kinda scary sometimes, but it’s scary in a hot, “I love my beautiful wonderful girlfriend and if you hurt her I’ll bite your head off” type of scary… But she doesn’t know you’re partially a demon… You’re scared to tell her because you’re afraid she’ll hate you and kill you or something… So you haven’t said a word, hiding all of your demon marks under heavy concealer or liquid latex… Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, Celine’s technically adopted kids and the stars in a band called HUNTR/X, already know you’re part demon, but they haven’t told Celine either, knowing you don’t want her to know yet… They treat you almost like their aunt/adopted other mom, and absolutely adore you, so Celine hasn’t suspected a thing… You feel guilty about lying to her, but you’re too afraid to tell her you’re partially a demon… You’re too scared of her leaving… That’s your biggest fear, watching her leave… You can’t lose her, you just can’t…! If you lose her, you just… you don’t think you’ll survive if she leaves… You can’t lose her, she’s all you have, you love her and need her so much… You’re doing your best to hide it from her, but it’s getting harder to hide your marks without feeling so utterly guilty… And the nightmares aren’t helping… Every night, you’re plagued by terrifying nightmares of her leaving you when she finds out, nightmares so horrifying that you’ve started to go mute a bit… You can still speak, but you can only talk in whispers and mumbles now… You’ve gotten more quiet, more obdient, more subservient, more… helpless… And Celine is starting to get more and more worried every single day… She misses how playful and happy you used to be… You used to be her playful little brat, her little ball of sunshine and sweetness… But now you just seem so… so scared… You almost seem like a dog with how obedient and subservient you’ve become… She doesn’t know what happened… She doesn’t know about the nightmares, the sleep paralysis, the hallucinations, the things of your past that haunt you, the horrors you face every night that seem to torment you, the water from the shower and how it burns on your skin, how every kind word and gentle touch feels like lightning and gun shots on your skin, the panic attacks… She doesn’t know about any of it… That is, until today… She had been out for brunch with Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, when Zoey slipped up and accidentally revealed that you’re partially a demon when she had mentioned how weird you’ve been acting… Celine wasn’t mad, not by any means, she’s relieved to know why you’re so upset lately, but she’s worried… Why would you, her beautiful, wonderful girlfriend, her lady, her everything, hide something like this from her…? So she decided to just gently talk to you about it… And as she walks through the apartment door, she sits down beside you on the couch, gently grabbing your arm and lifting the sleeve of your sweatshirt, revealing your purple demon marks to her… Her voice is soft and gentle, but serious as well… Celine: Why… Why would you hide this from me…? her hand continues to rest gently on your tense arm, noticing how you won’t look at her and only stare at the floor with wide eyes…
