Saving Sanity

Chapter 31

Filia Mortis wasn't in the form of Julianne anymore, she was in her original form im guessing.

She was just a tall black figure, no actual human body visible. But only the outline of a female body and long black hair. The only human feature was only her bright green eyes. And although she had no other human features her eyes were raging and angry.

Andy stood there in shock, his eyes had a mix of anger and sorrow in them.

"I knew it!" She screamed. "I should have killed you when you were twelve!" She held her hand out and a gun appeared in it. She pointed it towards me and pulled the trigger. I jumped out of the way, landing in my back. I groaned in pain and I heard another shot. Next to me, a drawer had a large hole in it. I jumped up and ran towards Filia Mortis, only to go right through. She let out a sinister laugh and shot at me again. I screamed as the bullet grazed my arm. I looked up and saw that Andy was still standing there, Evan was gone. "That little shit!" I muttered holding my arm. Picking myself up, Filia Mortis took another shot. It hit my shoulder, I cried out. I jumped towards her, going through her again but grabbing the gun. Her transparent appearance faltered and I shot at her. No blood came out, she grinned and the gun flew out of my hand into hers. She pointed the gun to me and pulled the trigger.

All I heard was a click, I wasn't dead. The gun had run out of bullets, I couldn't help but laugh a bit. Filia Mortis heard me and got angry. She flicked her wrist and the room was set on fire. But here's my question:

Why hasn't anyone complained about the noise?

But that was my least concern right now. I looked around the room, desperate for something to defend myself with. I couldn't find anything!

Could this be it? The day I die? Burned like the rest..

I put head in between my legs and wrapped my arms around myself, preparing for death.

I waited one minute, two minutes, three minutes, four, five, six, seven and eight but it never came. I looked up to see fire surrounding me in the shape of a star. I looked up at Filia Mortis. She looked terrified, she knew what was happening and she looked like she was going to piss her pants. A feeling overcame me, a sudden knowing of what to do now.

I pointed an accusing finger and her and spoke. "Dehinc ad infernum, omnes animas manere aeternum patrem abstulisti uitam. Dare Aeterni peccatorum. Ego daemonium filia mortis." It sounded like Latin. I have no idea what I had said. I pushed my hands in her direction before she let out a deafening scream. "custodiet te!" She yelled before she burned to ashes.

The fire was still surrounding me, I spread my arms out. The fire went higher, turned blue and green before disappearing into some kind of vapor.

I killed her, I just killed Filia Mortis. How did I do it? What the hell did I just say? It sounded like Latin. Like Filia Mortis.

Then it hit me.

I am free.

*~*~*

I exited the room through the fire escape. I saw fire fighters and police officers pile outside. I saw some people lined outside freaking out about happened. Why did they not come to my room? Was it the fire is people smelled from their rooms or just the screaming? When I hit the ground I felt pain, the billet hole in my shoulder and the graze on my arm. Blood was rushing through and I felt light headed. I put my hand on my bullet hole and I felt something pop into my hand. I looked at my palm to see a bullet. I touched my wound and I felt nothing, no blood coming through, no hole. I did the same to my graze. They both healed and it felt as if they were never there. I stared at the wounds shocked and going over what I had just done.

At that moment I felt so alive, proud and ecstatic. But still a bit pissed at Evan but I couldn't really think about since I found out what I can really do.

Although I am still trying very hard to use them correctly I used my powers to my advantage to get some things, now, I don't mean steal because that would be messed up. I just changed my appearance so no one can recognize me. New wardrobe, haircut, etcetera. I wanted to start fresh, no more demons, abuse, self harm or running from the cops. I actually think the cops might've stopped looking for me. I'm staying in Danvers and I'm starting high school again in August, I will be a sophomore. I stayed in abandoned houses until I turned sixteen and starting working, I am living in an apartment now with Andy. My life is turning out great for the first time. I have to stay in high school a few extra years to pay off for all the missed school years. I'm planning on going to community collage after and study in Phycology. Just a normal life. One that parents dream for their kids.

At least that's what I'm trying to do.

Nothing can change that right?

I banish you to hell, to spend eternity with your father and all the souls you took the lives of. To pay for your eternal sins. I am your demon, Daughter of death.
