The Devil Within

Voices

TRIGGER WARNING. This chapter has violence, death, and more-

"I am always here E", I heard Elektras's voice inside me. I nudged myself, a stinging pain all over my body, my head was still bleeding. I opened my eyes even if my whole body hurt like hell. I looked around, what was Alia doing here? she wasn't with me. "The sleeping beauty is finally awake" a dark deep horrid voice. A guy with a mask came in front of the dim light, I looked around it was so dark, cold, Hades would have so much color even if it's the realm of death. I saw Zyphr and Alia on the floor, Zyphr looking like he was about to die, Alia had bruises. "Leave them alone" I grasped my breath as I told him, he let out a cold harsh laugh, "your boyfriend is pretty strong even after we drugged him, he wouldn't allow us to touch you".

Boyfriend who? oh, Zyphr. They are drugged but he fought for me, they shouldn't get hurt because of me, not more. "It's me who you want, leave them alone, and I will allow you to do anything to me" I tried to keep my eyes open, it was too hard "no" I heard Alia and zyphr whisper.

Another harsh laugh "you're just like your sister". My heart lept, Elektra? how? "I wanted to kill your sister but that demon did my job, so I decided to turn the other way around, I will kill them both in front of your eyes". No. Not going to happen till I am alive. "What did Elektra do to you?". He clicked his tongue "what didn't she do to me? she shut the entire drug plant, she shut my industries from making the thing, she stopped me from getting more powerful, she stopped me from being as powerful as the dark lord. So I take the revenge on you." He swirled a ball of magic on Zyphr he cried in pain, he pulled Alias hair, she sobbed "Leave them" I said my voice better than before "Leave them or" he cut me off "or what? I drugged you, you won't have your power, you fool".

I pulled my hand but it was locked by a magical bond. He hurt Zyphr more, I shut my eyes unable to hear them hurt. It is always because of me, me they are hurt because of me, Elketras not here because of me. "I am always here E, it is not you. Kill those who hurt you, I thought you to be strong not weak". I heard Elektras's voice again, she wants me to fight back, but I'm powerless, I didn't know what my power is. I heard them scream so loud. no, that's enough. I looked at the lock, my anger and fear mixed, the lock shut and fell on the ground. I let a little gasp in my head, "how. how the hell did that happen you're drugged" he said his tone confused. I got on my feet and walked towards them. I couldn't even walk properly, it was bleeding so badly that my body would be bloodless. He ket hurting Zyphr that he curled in a ball, he didn't let out a sound. NO, my voice in me said "I told you to leave them alone you filthy scum bag. I pushed him with all the power I had, a gush of fire and he fell in the sack of woods. I rushed towards Zyphr, I put a hand on his chest, the heat on him so it would make a difference, my tears flowing. I rushed towards Alia and did the same until he pulled me back and pinned me to the wall. I saw both of them getting up. It worked, it worked. "Run, "I said into Alia's head so she would read it. She did and stood there, the guy turned towards them making me fall on the ground, he was going to kill them, he was angry but he didn't know how angry I am for hurting them "Kill" my sister's voice said again. I looked at my dress which is half burnt, tore. He went closer to them his hand on Alia this time. That's it. I get up, my anger more than ever not knowing what will happen to my power, I clenched my jaw so hard. The right side of me was a fire. I was fire, my hand, my body fire. The other half was swirling with dark magic, so dark.

I combined both my hands, it was so powerful I could feel it. I also knew it would make me so weak with all the wounds and hurt, I could die. He gaped at me, his heart beating so fast. "I told you to leave them, you moron". I pushed my hand towards him, black smoke and fire on him. He was burning. A bunch of his gang came in, shocked. I knocked them out that they won't open their eyes for days, some dead. I fell on the floor, completely drained. Zyphrs and Alias mouths open but they rushed towards me. I held my head so tight. "oh my gosh" Alia said looking at me. "Let me see," Zyphr said. His hand in my face, I pushed more in that touch. His warmth making me feel okay. He touched my bleeding head, I grunted in pain unable to catch my breath. "It's going to be okay," Alia said as she squeezed my hand. I felt a burn in my head but the bleeding stopped. "How?" I asked my eyes letting out all the tears which I held inside. "I can heal people I l- who mean a lot to me," he said softly. "I have to ask you how the heck you did that," Alia said to me, and Zyphr looked towards me. "Elektra," I said looking out. They knew what I meant. we were not in Tessitura. I killed a bunch of men, I sneaked out of the ball, an important event held for me, I got kidnapped, I can her Elektra in me, we are far away from Tessitura, I put the people love in danger. Can it get any better? I fall into Zyphrs arms, unable to take the pain. He scoops me closer.
