Chapter 1
Truth is an interesting subject. The truth can be modified in lies, edited to fit a person's cause, but it always stays the same. There is no way to change what the truth actually is. It never changes, no matter how much you wish it would. The truth can be forgiving, but it can also be harsh. The death of a family member, friend, or loved one can be a hard truth to handle. Foreclosure, debt, and unemployment can be difficult as well. But you can't change it. Truth is always present. No matter where you go, where you run, where you hide, you can never escape the truth. It's just not humanly possible. Luckily, for Zafera, truth is not a problem. Being half human, half demon has its advantages. She can manipulate time and reality, shaping her surroundings until they fit her needs or wants. She can make it rain juice, make it snow sugar, or make the sky purple. She can create entirely new universes, or destroy this one. She can end wars, and start the Armageddon. But with all this power, comes a price.
Being as small as she was, no one ever took her seriously. Her rages were disastrous, but her happiness's were pure bliss. And though she was only eleven years old, she lived in an enormous house, in almost the middle of nowhere, all by herself. She had killed her real mother and father when they had tried to punish her for drawing on the wall when she was only six years old. She hadn't understood what she had done at the time, but she wished the bodies would disappear, and so they did. In place of the parents she had lost, she created her dream parents, making them so that they agreed with whatever she said, never told her to do or not to do something, cooked her meals, gave her a bath, and cleaned the house. They would disappear every day for a few hours, the ones where they went to "work", and always came back just in time to make her lunch and dinner. Then they would play games and watch tv for a few hours before Zafera finally got tired and went to sleep. She slept when she felt like it, and woke up when it suited her. She had created a wonderful teacher that would make learning fun for her, and would giver her candy and sugar, let her interrupt whenever she felt like it, and would let her takes naps and play games if she was tired or bored. Though Zafera learned, she was socially inept. Due to almost never leaving the confines of her family's property, she had no friends aside from her imaginary ones. She didn't talk to people. Her imagined parents did the shopping and anything else that required leaving the house premises. Zafera simply just never left. There was nothing for her out there, she told herself. She didn't need anyone else. She had everything she needed. But inside, Zafera was lonely; lonelier than she could have imagined. Though she would never admit it out loud, she didn't really view her creations, her fake parents and teacher and friends, real people. The inner workings of her mind still viewed then as imitations. They didn't truly exist. Not to her, at least.
