///Death POV///
Pain shot over me as the Hounds bit into my arm, legs, and my shoulders. We were falling and the next thing I know is that I’m crashing into the branched of a tree. The Hell Hounds shrieked as they were knocked off my body and crash into the dark grass. I stared off to the moon as my vision began to blur. All I could do is think once again; did I hit my head again? I felt useless for some reason. Why is that…was it because of Liz Beth? After the conversation with Annabelle…I felt so down…so dead inside. I would just run straight to Rogue and fight to the death…that is what I used to think when she died.
“Death the murderer!” I heard someone shout out. “You are a murderer! Just let it out! Come on, Death! As much as I want to kill her…I want to have the most ultimate fight…with YOU!”
“…P-Pain…” I recognized his voice. I could barely talk…
“Noticed that our names are the same…Death will ALWAYS be Pain to others…we are the same…always, but which is stronger?” he’s insane…I know his type a long time ago…
“It’s…obvious that which is stronger. Insanity hasn’t changed much for me now…” I could speak clearer now. I stood up on the branch and jumped down. The hounds were gone…
“Oh, really? You sure about that? I AM stronger than you now! I will kill you and then your ‘family!’ What do think they need…a slow painful death…or that they should see your damn head and kill them in one swing!” he is crazy…insane. I have to…I have to kill him.
“Fuck you…I’ll rip you apart and show you who is STRONGER NOW!” I was in full rage as I charged at him. I summoned my scythe and swung at him. But he jumped in the air. He was then diving towards me with razor gloves. All I could do was jump out of his way but he was faster somehow because I felt the blades hit my leg. I realized that the injuries by the Hell Hounds were the cause.
“Damn you!” I muttered as I fell down. But I can’t stay down for long or-
“We’re not done yet!” he grabbed me, his blades piercing into my shoulders as he threw me through the trees. I was unable to defend myself anymore. He was beating me so easily…
“FUCK YOU!” I then saw CJ uppercut him. Pain was then launch into the air. But then I saw the Hell Hounds jump at him. But the half of them were killed by O’Felia as she sliced through them with her weapons…what is that anyway? I can’t see…
“Death!” it took a while to recognize who was calling me. It was Melisa as she sat me up. I was badly bleeding…probably a lot. Wait, that isn’t from me…it was hers!
“Melisa…what happen to you? Is that…your blood?” I saw that her jacket was shredded by the arms and blood was covered over it. She had a deep scratch on her stomach and she was bleeding. I could see in her eyes that she was in pain…
“Don’t worry about it. I owned you for saving me last time…” I can’t believe that she risked her life for me…is she crazy….
“Don’t ever do that again…you’re too important to others…damn it, including your father!” I forced myself to stand up, I gently pushed her aside and walked towards the battle.
“Death, wait! You’re hurt-“ she grabbed me by the arm but I pulled away.
“No way in hell is that bastard going to win…I’m going to fucking KILL HIM!” my eyes were fixed on Pain as he slowly walked towards us. I pushed her away from me as he ran at me, his razor sharp knives fixed on me.
“DIE!” he yelled as I sprint to the side of him as fast as I can. My whole body hurts but I don’t care…I’m going to rip him in half-
“What?” I gasped out as he jumped over my scythe and ran past me. Away from me…away from Melisa too? He then stopped and looked at me.
“Till next time!” he laughed.
“Get back here!” I shouted at him, I began to run at him but Melisa stopped me. “Let me go!”
“STOP IT! Damn it…you’re injured!” she screamed at me. But of course I wouldn’t listen. She wouldn’t let me go…all I could do was watch him disappear into the fog. She then slapped me hard on the face, I fell to the floor.
“What the hell…” I muttered as rubbed my cheek.
“What’s wrong with you?” she yelled at me in the face. “I come all this way to help you…and you’re acting on suicide…are you trying to get killed?”
She’s right…I was being stupid…I acted like a ass, she would have gotten killed. It would have been my fault all over again, why did I let Pain play me like that? Wait…is she crying?
“Asshole…we just met and…and you are like CJ and O’Felia…” she was bursting in tears. I just realized that she didn’t have glasses on. She doesn’t need them anymore. What does she mean by ‘like CJ and O’Felia’?
“What am I like to them?” I asked her.
“My…” she looked down at me and smiled. “My friend…”
“I’m sorry…” I said. I was really sorry. “I won’t act like that again…”
“Cross your heart, Death?” she asked. I smiled and did the crossed my heart sign.
“Cross my fucking heart…” I got up and raised my hand for a high-five.
“Ok…” she smiled and slapped my hand. “You break that promise…I’ll kill you first.”
“Woah…a little romance is going on right now or what for you two?” O’Felia said as she and CJ towards us.
“H-HEY!” Melisa blushed bright red and backed away from me in embarrassment. They began to laugh but I didn’t laugh.
“Friends…huh?” I muttered as Melisa started play fighting with O’Felia. Thinking about it, why do they see me and Melisa as ‘romantic’? I’d be lying if I was also embarrassed…
