Vulpecula ✔️

"This needs to stop."

We slayed all of them, one by one. Mercilessly. There was nothing else on my mind but pure rage. I wanted to kill all of them. And then go for Aldrik. I wasn't even sure if I could wait for a week. I'm tired of this shit. And there's no way I'm taking anymore of it.

The screams of the creatures could be heard, and our grunting was like music to my ears. I felt like I was something different. Because I liked the adrenaline that was pumping in my veins. I liked how good it felt to be this alive. Even if I had to kill other creatures to feel this way. I felt supreme.

"Everyone close your ears!" I ordered because the scream was building up inside of me. As soon as they did, I let it all out watching as they all turned to ashes and faded away.

I glared at the empty space and just let myself take deep breaths. I was being calm for so long, but now all of my anger has snapped. My self control has snapped. And I know it's time. I won't fucking wait for the damned planets to align. There's no way I'd take one more week of constant attacks.

"This needs to end!" I stated and walked back inside my house. The staff was working as if nothing happened. Hopefully nothing happened for them, because if it did, we all are in a greater danger than Aldrik.

"What are you talking about?" Clayton asked me carefully. He had a hunch of what I'm actually talking about.

"You know. All of you do. One week will do nothing at all. I have to kill him sooner. And I know for a fact that his powers are pretty weak. He has been calling all these mythical creatures and he has hidden for so long. He knows that we are coming for him. He is just trying to regain his powers. I need to stop him. Or else by the end of this one week, I know that we might lose." I explained while pacing the lengths of my living room.

For a few moments nobody said anything. I know it's all of a sudden but they need to know that I wouldn't change my mind. I would rather go alone if they don't want to. And I will come back with Aldrik's blood on my hands. He has done enough and I know that his plans for the world aren't good either.

"I'll get the peepal ash now." Harry mumbled and passed me a soft smile.

"I can call upon all the five elements of nature. And the sword." I added.

"Ours minds are strong enough too." Clayton nodded at me.

"I have located his cave." Calla said while petting one of her snakes. Probably it was the snake that reported back to her.

"Are we really ready?" Kayden asked the doubt that everyone had in their minds.

I looked at all of my friends and knew that all of them will agree if I do. But I gave them the choice. It was up to them. As much as I am angry, I know they are angrier. They've dealt with Aldrik for a year more than me.

Harry threw his arms around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him. Kayden took the opportunity to hold my hand and entwine our fingers. Everyone was surprised but none said anything. Hell, I was surprised too. I thought that he would be angry because of Harry, considering he has always been angry. But I'm glad he suppressed it.

All the others smiled at me and I knew right there that all of them are with me in this. I wasn't alone. We'd kill him together and if I ever felt bad about killing him, they would be there to get me out of it. They will always be there. I found the friends I always read about, the ones who don't leave you because they found someone more popular, the ones who wouldn't fight with you because they like the same guy as you, the ones who would never betray you for anything or anyone.

"Tomorrow." Is all I said before letting them all leave. But Kayden stayed. He stayed to make sure I was alright in my own mansion, because he knows now, how bad it was for me. But I'm glad that I have someone now. Someone who likes me.
