///Death POV///
With that, I ran out into the streets. Men aiming the gun at me, the women screaming…panicky…the children staring in horror. They must see a monster, a monster that is me. Who could blame them? They just saw a kid carry out Melisa so-called mother’s head! I use to wonder why? Why I choose to kill…I found the answer to that a long time ago. I always wanted to die in battle…not one thing ever even beat me.
“He’s smiling! That boy is insane! Stop him!” I heard them say. I smile only to get their attention away from my group. I start to think again, why did I want to die? I stop thinking like that because of Liz Beth…showing me a home with me. A home with her, CJ, O’Felia, and O’Hara…but she’s gone and so is O’Hara. I thought that I would fall to depression…but I’m stronger now…I won’t die by anything anymore…for everyone that’s counting on me.
“Follow me and you die! YOU HEAR ME!” I yelled as I laughed. For some reason, they began to follow me.
I was sure that all of them were following me…but why? Something like this shouldn’t happen, not all of them shouldn’t be following me right out like that. Something’s is off…not right. They’re not shooting me or nothing…is it magic or something?
“Hey there Death…” I recognized her voice. I stopped and slowly turned around to see Annabelle standing there in a brown cloak. She stopped them, they’re not moving Why her? Why now…?
“Annabelle…” I stood there…just stood there as she showed me no expression. What can I say to her? I can’t think clearly…”Annabelle-“
“Put that shit aside for now, Death. I have to put the pain aside also. Rogue comes first…Liz Beth later.” She said as the mob stood there frozen like statues. She rose her arm up and they started running at me again.
“Wha-“ I gasped out. She then grabbed me by the shirt and whispered into my ear.
“6-Dog is here…watch out.” she whispered. That made me snap back to reality. I pulled away and glared angrily to the dark sky.
“Don’t worry…” I manage to say before running. “I’ll kill him first…”
I lost the angry mob a few minutes later, but I was so far away from the others…it’ll take a more than ten minutes to get to the school, so I had to move fast now. So I began to run back. But if the mob of people could be somewhere back. I have to another path; the park is around here so I have to take it, no matter how much time I add to get there. I can’t risk waiting and thinking about it. With that thought as my objected. I ran off to the park. The next thing I know is that I was in the middle of an open plain, a fog rolled up around me. I felt this weird feeling like I was being watched-
“What the fuck!” I cried out as a large dog ran past me. It was gone as I looked at its direction…wait what was that sound? I heard light footsteps around me. I looked around me to see probably a dozen dogs-no hounds!
“So you’re going to jump me with a pack of dogs, will you? How about you fight like a man…6-Dog!” I called him out. The dogs disappear into the fog and 6-Dog appeared.
“Death…back from the misery and acting like a pest again…” 6-Dog said. He was taller than I remember; his dark skin was cover in little hair. He had nothing on but a pair of brown pants. His bald head was covered in piercings and tattoos.
“That’s more like it…but if we end up fighting…is my friends-no...my family… safe and what do you want?” I asked as I stepped forward to him. He coughed a smile at me.
“You’re family is safe…and I came to give information and destroy you…” he said.
“How touching…why give me info, and about what?” I asked.
“Despite my likings to you…one of the Satan’s ordered your death sentence.” He told me. “And the information is…the plans to Rogue military plans to conquer and a army.”
“What?” I was confused…what army?
“I’ll tell you…if you survive…” with that. He grabbed me by the arm and threw me into the air. I crashed into the trees and crashed into the branches under. Pain rose up into my sides as I stood up, maintaining balance on the branches. I summoned my scythe and jumped at him. I swung down at full force to his head…but all that was heard was the metal sound of two weapons hitting. He was blocking me with a large spike club. The metal was a part of him as it slithered from his arm and into the club. I kicked him in the face and dropped down. As he was recovering from the blow…I dropped my scythe down and gave a series of blows to his face and stomach.
“You’re strong but-“ I uppercut his face and he fell down. “You’re slow!”
“Speed isn’t much of my element, Death. If it was the old you…you would have killed me by now.” 6-Dogs said as he stayed lying in the ground. I walked up to him and helped him up.
“Well…I changed a little…but I learned to know who my enemies are and who my friends are.” I said. The fog began to disappear and we stood alone under the full moon.
“The information is this…” he began.
“What?” I was getting a little impatient.
“Trolls…and humans.” He explained. Did I hear him right? Trolls are not unexpected but humans? Why on earth would they get involved with Rogue…no…why join his side?
“Why are humans helping Rogue?” I asked him as I faded my scythe.
“O’Felia shall know the answer when you get back…but beware, Death. I wouldn’t have killed you if you lost this fight.” He said.
“Yeah you would…you are asked a mission to do. You would have completely finished it, no matter what.” I told him and he placed his hand on my shoulder.
“You’re wrong…I have no power anymore…Gregory stripped me from my powers.” He said slowly. What? Gregory took his powers? Why? But who sent the Hounds? If he couldn’t use his power to send the hounds…
“You lost your powers…but who sent the hounds after when you arrived?” I asked and then I heard the howling…it was far at first but then the fog rolled over again.
“Go…warn the others. I know who possess the power, he is after both you and-“ he started to explain but I understood.
“He’s after Melisa!” with that I went at superhuman speed. I can’t wait…I have to stop this new guy and protect my family.
