The Lady Elizabeth
Being a monster was never really easy. I mean I'm sure being a demon is easy, make deals, eat souls, so on, but being an unearthly halfling between a demon and a human is no walk in the park if you know what I mean. But that's exactly what I am, so I guess I'm stuck with a weird life.
Life is like a game, and God gives you a single card, hope. Though it does seem like the devil has given you the rest of your hand, giving you nothing but fear, sickness, and biases.
When people find out what I am, they're not very excepting. I mean if you just saw me walking down the street, you would just think that I'm a normal girl.
Yep, that's me, normal 13-year-old girl, right?
Wrong.
When you actually get to know me you would notice the little things. The changing of my eyes when I'm angry or sad, my ability to fly if I truly desire(sometimes, I can grow bat-like wings), and of course, just extra enhanced supernatural abilities, like super strength and super speed. But I can also make deals with humans, deals that cost them her soul.
My name is (Y/N) (L/N), and for the longest time, I've been outcast from village to village, trying to find a home, and I have now just found myself in London, and I can't say it's been pleasant.
Because of my traveling on foot, I haven't had a decent bath in weeks if not months, my (H/C) hair is a reck, and I'm dressed in rags. Looking this way has definitely gained some stairs from the high class Londoners.
This enough has given me no choice but to try and hack it on the streets. At least that's what I thought, until a bouncy ball of blonde hair wearing expensive clothing came rushing my way, squealing.
"Oh my gosh," she started, "what happened to you, you poor soul!"
"Oh I'm fine," I start to explain, "I--"
"You most certainly are not!" She cut me off, "Look at you, you're a mess! But your eyes are so pretty, I bet if we spruce you up a bit, you'd be adorable! Don't you agree, Paula?" The girl turned around to and young woman who I assumed to be her maid.
"Yes indeed my lady,' she nodded, "I argue that she would be a fine friend,"
"Ohh, yes, yes, yes!" the girl started to jump, "here, come with me, I can take you back to my manor and get you some fine clothes, and then you can stay there, and we can become best friends!"
This girl sounded crazy and lie she ate nothing but sugar, but I was in no place to turn away a place to stay and eat, and besides having a friend might be a nice thing, but I know my friends never stick around when they find out the truth.
"How old are you anyway?" the girl says as she stepped into her carriage, beckoning me to join her in it.
"I'm 13," I say as I get in.
"Me too!" she enthusiastically clapped her hands as the carriage started to move, "I'm Elizabeth Midford by the way, what's your name?"
"(Y/N) (L/N), it truly is an honor to be your friend."
....
"(Y/N), come a catch me!"
"Leo, slow down, this place isn't that safe!"
"You're just mad you can't beat m-- AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Leo!"
....
"(Y/N), wake up, we're here,"
Elizabeth shook me awake, and I looked out the carriage to see an elaborate mansion in front of us.
"Wow! Elizabeth, this place is beautiful!"
"Thanks!" she smiled, seeming proud of her home, "Now come on, let's go get you cleaned up!"

After a warm bath, Elizabeth rushes me up to her room, and fits me in every outfit she can, until she finds a (F/C) dress that she deems is fine for me.
"There!" she looks at me, proud with her work, "Now," her voice becomes serious, "(Y/N) (L/N), do you solemnly swear to be my personal bodyguard, to protect both me and my handmaiden, Paula, and promise to be my best friend in the whole world?"
The demon half of me starts to urge her into a deal, and prevails, "Of course lady Elizabeth," I reach out for her hand, as my eyes glow a subtle red, and reach out my hand for her to shake, knowing full well that no marks would appear on her skin, or that she would even know she sold her soul. I smile as she shakes my hand.
"It's a deal..."
