Red Flame

Chapter 12

I had become my worst fear, my worst nightmare. It was worse than I could've imagined. I was ruthless. I had been a trained killer, and that's exactly what I was. Was there no extent on which I would go? I would portal through worlds, killing any demon I seen, regardless of how strong they were, I didn't care, I killed them. I was the killer they made. And I did their bidding for them. No remorse for any of them. I was good, and I knew I was. But Anna and the rest, feared the worst. They thought I'd lose control and be a loose cannon or hurt myself in the process. But they didn't understand what I was going through, what I feel, or didn't feel.

            Monster didn't begin to describe what I had become. I could not explain it, it was unlike anything I had ever felt. I had control over my power, all of it, and I used it to my advantage. No one trained with me because my soul had become unhinged. Although I didn't see any reason to kill them yet, they feared that. They talked, there were whispers. They feared I had become to uncontrollable and I was off my hinges, I could snap and kill them all, I needed to get help. Mom and dad knew about me. Anna made sure to tell them. They feared for me, and for Anna. I was not right. I even knew that. That little girl was screaming inside me. She wanted to break through, but this new me, would not let her out again. To much pain a chaos. I felt her love for this god, that's what she had for him. Since the night they danced together, she was falling for him, and he broke her, and now, she wants free again, and I couldn't let that happen.

            I took the portal back to Mexico. Where I sat upon the cliffs, watching, waiting. Making sure no demons could or would be loose. Earth seemed to be the one place they ran freely. And that wasn't as bad as it sounded. They weren't really hurting anyone, but I killed them regardless. If they wanted to kill me, they didn't have a chance, I got them first. It was quite and seemed like a nice place to just rest my body. Thunder began to rumble. The light from the portal opening. Someone was coming through. I started wearing red leather, with some black. I kept my hair curled and down. My eyes stayed red. On high alert. The lighting flashed across the sky. He wasn't alone.

            "Thor, Loki, what do you want," I said. Thor sat beside me. Loki kept his distance. He was the root of the problem. But I didn't take pride in getting even with him. I was better than that.

            "Gabbie, I think you need to slow down, stop hunting them, take time off, you know, relax," Thor said. I didn't move or react.

            "I think you and the green goblin need to go, leave me in peace," I said. He sighed.

            "Look, I love the insult to Loki, he's an Ass I get it, but this is not you," Thor said. I didn't move again. I was lifeless.

            "You don't know the real me big man, you or Green goblin, so let me be in peace," I said. I could almost feel Loki roll his eyes. I didn't care, I wasn't phased by it. It would have if I were myself.

            "Gabbie, Anna is worried and Annabeth, Percy, your parents," Thor stopped himself.

            "They aren't my parents, Hades is my father, I don't know my mother, but I'm sure she'd be better company than you two wanna be superheroes, leave," I said. Thor got up, He had a brave and stupid idea. He cuffed my hands, without me knowing what he was doing. My powers weakened. I couldn't fight or take them off.

            "You, you played me, what is this," I asked getting angry. I felt something again, anger. Well at least it was only that, anything else I would have broken my new character.  I liked her but I didn't like her. It was difficult.

            "We are taking you back to Asgard, you're being locked in the dungeon for your safety," Thor said branning my arm. I jerked away, but he kept his grip on me. Loki also grabs my arm. I looked at him and glared.
