Halo

Anger

Oh crap...crap...Skeppys dad...He heard us...He saw...He's going to kill me and Skeppy...He's not like Father...He hates people like us...I've heard what he does...Jeez how could I let this happen...at least if it was at my house Father wouldn't have cared as much...shoot shoot shoot..what do we do...What can we do?

His face was covered in a horrified expression staring at Skeppy who was standing away, a slight distance in front of the bed.

I looked down and noticed Skeppy's hand was shaking and balled up in a fist, his usually tanned skin was white around the knuckles and I bet that if he unfolded his fist, he'd have perfectly crescent-moon like shapes dug into his palms.

"You sinner! How could you do this?!" He yelled, pausing while he stepped forward just a small step.

He continued yelling when Skeppy moved one of his legs back, as though he was going to turn around.

"In my house! My own son. I clearly didn't raise you right!"

Fear was shooting through me as I winced, standing on shaky legs while the bed groaned in struggle to take the sudden shift in having no weight.

"Dad please it's...it's not what you think I swear" Skeppy pleaded in response to his father, looking over his shoulder at me to make sure I was okay....

"Are-" Skeppy began to ask but his father yelled, cutting him off.

"I know what I saw! And I know what I heard! How could you do this?!" I could see his face turning red from pure anger as Skeppy took a step back to stand directly in front of me.

"Sir...I promise it's really not what you think it was" I begged, looking over Skeppys shoulder since I was now slightly hidden behind him, but not all the way...I could tell he was going to hurt Skeppy and the anger was starting to boil up in me.

Skeppy moved to sand directly in front of me, so his father had no way to get closer to me. Causing his father to holler even louder.

"You bitch I told you I know what I saw! You are a disappointment in my eyes and in Gods!"

I saw it all happening in slow motion.... His fathers hand balling up into a fist as he launched forward...Fist digging into Skeppys stomach....Causing Skeppy to fall to the ground. He was leaning on his knees, one hand laid on his stomach while he used the other to hold himself up.

"SKEPPY!" I let out, shock filling me along with anger....Close to exploding as the world seemed to slow down again.

I felt heat rise in my skin...My horn...every inch of me, watching as he lifted his foot to kick Skeppy.

Before the impact landed I jumped over Skeppys body that was still leaned down, knocking my hood off my head while grabbing his father by the neck, raw hate taking place inside of me as I lifted his feet off the ground and slammed his back against the wall, causing the room to shake.

"Bad!" I heard Skeppy yell behind me...Causing me to let go and take a few steps backwards in shock.

What...Just...happened?

I looked down at my hands to see that they were a very dark grey...Almost black. My skin changed to an absolute grey.

I reached up to my horns only to feel that they've grown slightly....I didn't understand how I got this strong...what's happening to me?

Skeppy's dad now slides down the wall, clapping on the floor crawling out of the room horrified.

Skeppy grabbed my arm as I tried to run to the bathroom, wincing when he forced himself to stand up.

"Bad?...What.." He let out, disbelief in his eyes.

I softly pulled my arm out of his grip and rushed to the bathroom, looking in the mirror...I couldn't believe my eyes.

My skin... all of it was a dark grey, My eyes had completely turned white and were glowing... my horns were even bigger than normal, out in full display.

Is this what my horns are. Is this what has been hidden from me. Was that woman I saw in my dreams-...No...It...It can't be...

"I..." Skeppy began, leaning on the doorway, which made me feel calm again...

"Skeppy what am I?" I stammered...My energy felt as if it'd been zapped, causing me to collapse to the ground....

"Bad!" Skeppy called out and he stumbled to the floor beside me, pulling me into his lap

"You...Look normal...Are- Are you okay" He stuttered, lightly placing his hand on my forehead.

"Father...Johnny" I heard myself mumbling as waves of dizziness overtook my body, settling in every joint.

"I can't get you to the church unless you help me...Come on...Stand up..." He was soft when he spoke.

Though my vision was blurry I forced myself to stand up, feeling Skeppy pull one of my arms around his shoulders and holding my wrist while the other one came around my back, securing hold of my side.

Though Skeppy was injured, he stumbled back to the church with Bad, who was barely holding on to his consciousness.

As if they had already known what Bad had done...Death and the priest were inside the first floor of the church, talking while they sat in pews.

When the church door opened Father Johnny stood up, looking at the door, starting to speak

"I'm sorry...We're not- Bad!" He stopped, worrying immediately when he saw that his adopted son leaned heavily against the younger boy.

"I...He..." Skeppy stumbled on his words but Death could sense it.

"He turned...What happened?" She asked, walking with the Father as Bad weakly fell from Skeppys grip to the floor.

"Turned? I...I don't know what is happening...Someone...Please explain!" Skeppy yelled, confusion and pain coating his voice.

"You're Boyfriend here isn't human...When he was younger he was in a car wreck and I made the mistake of changing his soul into a demon...A very powerful demon...But I sealed his powers, which is why he's like this now." She rushed, checking the seals on his wrist.

"Skeppy. What happened?" Father Johnny asked, grabbing Skeppys arms and making him sit down on a pew in case he were to pass out.

Skeppy was short with his response, leaving out the part of having sex with Bad while explaining exactly what he'd seen...Leaving the priest speechless.
