Universal Heroes- Book 3

7~4

Alex
I stayed true to what I told Denis. I'm not working with Corl because he will do the only thing he knows how to: fuck everything up for everyone.

And he never learns from it either. This isn't the first time he put us all in shit. He is pretty much a magnet to drama and manages to drag someone else. I'll admit that I may have taken the bait, but I still can't get over the fact that he's still adamant that I started this. All because I'm a demon. 

That felt good to get out even if it was in my head. 

I finally faced Sub who seemed like he was standing in front of me for a while - like he wanted me to attack first, or like he was hesitant to hurt me. I could still see the innocence in his eyes, even if he was possessed. Everything I felt before had subsided and been replaced by guiltiness and more so that deep lust for love again. 

I decided to make the first move after all, approaching him in a friendly way. I knew how he managed to calm me down when my demon got the best of me; I was going to do the same here.

Interrupting the moment, shards of ice just about missed me and I watched them hit Sub, which seemed to aggravate him because the innocence I saw warped into something sinister.

"Corl what the fuck is wrong with you?" I asked.

"He's the enemy, Alex. He doesn't want to kiss, he wants to kill. I thought you'd know that already because you caused this after all." Corl said in that annoying ass knowingly tone.

"For the last time..I didn't do anything." I could hear my pendant cracking as I felt an anger I never knew I had. I had reached my breaking point with him. I couldn't even think straight and I just did the first thing which came into my head:

Hurt him.

I lunged at him, grabbing him by the neck and dragging his head into the dirt as we landed. That definitely surprised him as he went frozen as ice at that moment. I smiled while I watched him gasp for air.

"Take back what you said." I said. 

"N-No...I s-said..what the f-fuck I said.." he said between coughs.

I tighten my grip and he started to kick but nothing hurt anymore. Not more than his words. He put his arms on mine and I watched the ice spread onto them. It wasn't going to do him any good, if I was frozen like this he'd still die. Just the thought of it made me laugh to myself.

Suddenly, something hit me in the head which got me off of Corl. I looked up and it was Sub. He had kicked me and now stood over me, with his hand out. I didn't understand it, and definitely wasn't falling for it. As much as I didn't want to hurt him, I wasn't going to make myself look like an idiot either. I swept my right leg into his shin, causing him to fall. I pulled myself up with what strength I had left and put my hand on his pendant. I could've ended it all there and then, but for some reason I couldn't. It wasn't the evil in me which I had unleashed onto Corl, but it was the pain echoing throughout my body. I was still in denial of everything that happened. The breakup, my possession, and now even the fact that my friend was evil in any way. It felt surreal in a way, like I was dreaming.

Sub took advantage of that weak spot and before I knew it a huge thorn stabbed into my side. I fell back and watched him through the blurry vision of tears from the sudden pain walk away. My hands were now covered in blood - my own, but it made me think..what have I done?
