Chapter 20

Life started to get really amazing when she put her Demoness heart away. A journey meant to be experienced.

These experiences are what makes our life complete. Through these experiences we taste the sweetest and the most bitter moments of life. We go through highs and lows, we go through ecstasy and heart break, we go through birth and death, we go through rich and poor lives, we go through everything that is meant to be lived through for a soul to mature and grow up wisely.

Volca for the first time made a wise decision, she thought it is. Even though it hurt her to think that she has forever lost the powers since she could no longer cultivate them, she decided to live as a human, accept mortality and die on earth itself. With her mother gone, she no longer cared to return to hell and live like an orphan in somebody's care and charity. And moreover she did not want to live seeing him happily with his own family he made. She did not wish to go through such kind of pains ever again. To her, her angel Huo, her only love whom she couldn't hold on to, she did not have the courage to face him ever again. And more over, getting used and still wanting to get back with him, made her feel like a pathetic loser. Unrequited love had consumed too much of her soul. But she gladly accepted it all and still carried it like her only weapon to hunt things down that lay before her lonely path.

Volca walked towards the house Nanna suggested and waited for the lady to open the door. A woman in her mid thirties opened the main door and then unlocked the sit out grill door. She was excited to see her mother. The lady ran towards Nanna and hugged her, planting a kiss on her cheek. Volca's heart warmed see the mother-daughter relationship. Unknowingly her eyes filled with tears, as her mind wandered back to days she spent with her mother since childhood, filled with fights, quarrels and abuses. But there was one factor she always missed in all that hectic life she led, why her mother did it to her, all in the name of love, forcing her to be someone she wasn't.

Mother and daughter always failed to understand each other. When Fiona had a worst life as a women could constantly harassed, neglected, rejected, and bullied when she was young, she wanted her daughter to be a proud and the strong Demoness world had ever seen, true leader who should lead her Clan. But Volca was rather clean, quiet and more like an angel having zero quality of a real Demon. More importantly Fiona wanted her daughter to be with the man she loved unlike her who had ti watch her love marry a woman she hated. But her daughter loved just like her and she hated it, leading to forcefully change Volca, abusing her, without telling her the truth. And for the fact how Fiona never revealed who her father is and luckily Volca never cared about it believing the lie she was told about a guard being parent. Fiona never wanted the world to know who Volca's father is and she succeeded in it.

"Hey," the lady called Volca back to reality. "Hey," she said again.

"Hi," Volca greeted her.

"This is my daughter Jiah," Nanna introduced. "She is my third child, I have two elder sons and she is my only daughter," Nanna told Volca. Volca greeted her.

"What's your name?"

"Err..." Volca looked at Nanna. Since she had lied about amnesia she decided to live with. She didn't want to reveal who is she to anyone afraid that people might trace her and decided to live under cover.

"We have to talk about that," Nanna told her daughter.

Jiah invited them in and they settled down in a cute little living room. The walls had mesh style racks with tiny indoor plants and books, toys, medals and trophies. The furniture looked cute with brown cushions and tiny colorful pillows. The walls were painted with light cream shades and the wooden panelled floors. Volca liked the atmosphere instantly.

"So," Jiah asked walking back to the living room from kitchen holding a crystal jug with freshly squeezed orange juice and a plate of home baked cookies. For some unknown reasons, her heart began to thump loud as Jiah settled down and expected her to open up. With Nana sitting next to her, she decided to do it with no other options left. Lie and live. She made up her mind to come up with an interesting story.

"Please do listen to me patiently, I an going to talk about something serious, you don't have to worry, it is nothing much, but it means alot to me,' She said and started with her story.
