I'd never thought that I could destroy my family secret in such little time. I had no warning. It hit me hard. I had no idea that hell had sent a demon down to destroy me. It felt like I was on fire; burning in hell and I wasn't even there yet. I looked at my personal hell. It stared at me as I internally blew up in flames. Was he just going to watch me as I turn to ash?

I stare at its unusual form. A human? Impossible. Shouldn't it look more. . . demon-like? This creature looked confused. Like he had no idea what was actually happening to me.

The burning of my throat was unbearable. I brought my hand up to clutch my burning throat, to only see if it would stop.
Nothing.
I looked around at my hell. Every demon stared at me, confused. Did they not see me on fire?
I turned away from my hell.
I need to stop the burning.
I need to breathe again.
