- No.
Was he angry ? Furious ? Mad ? Sad ? Dismayed ?
Desperate ?
I was.
- No.
- Yes, I snapped back. That's the only way.
- No.
- Mephisto, I'm not asking you.
- That will not happen.
He was truly frightening. But I knew I was right. It was just too dreadful for him to admit it. Truth be told, he was the most frightened one in the room.
- You can't, he declared. You can't do that, Mei. I have a say in this.
- I said you were the calm before the storm. Then I'll be the storm.
- How poetic ! he retorted.
He turned away from me and fell onto his chair, behind the desk I had always pictured him in. The view tore my heart apart, even though I tried to stop it. I tried with all my heart, but I was fighting against my own strength.
- It's the only way, Mephisto, I quietly said. I understand how you feel. I feel the same way. But this is not only about us. There are students out there, some of them are my friends, and they're hurt because of us. Lucifer would do anything to recover his lost power. But I... I am the one he really wants.
- You...
- If I use all of my power, I'll kill him.
He tried to say something, but the words would not come.
- I will probably die too, I continued. I'm sorry.
- Sorry ?
He stood up and stormed to me.
- Sorry, he repeated. You are sorry. Well that settles everything, then !
He pushed my hand away when I reached for him, and started pacing up and down his destroyed office.
- I know how hard it is, Mephisto, it's my life !
- Yes, and I thought you were the reasonable one here, Mei.
His voice had turned ice cold. I shivered.
- We looked for other options, but there are none ! Wait ! There is one, but you won't admit it ! So what do we do ? We wait for Lucifer to burn the whole city, the whole country ? How far would you go ?
- Satan would stop him.
- And where is he now ? You really think the Devil will stop your evil brother ? Because I'm quite sure they're both enjoying this.
This time, Mephisto was out of arguments. He just shot me daggers and buried his face in his hands.
- I'll do it, I concluded and my voice broke. Don't try to stop me.
