#2 Young Half Demons

Chapter 6: Running Away

"This is the police!" A cop said.

"Alexander, go upstairs." Tom whispered. "Got it." Alexander said as he carefully went upstairs with Sean.

I opened the door and remained calm.

"Hello officer, is there a prob... lem." I said as I was face to face with an Assault Rifle to my forehead.

"We're looking for a silver hair kid, accompanied by a purple and blue haired duo." The cop said. "And you think aiming a... gun... would make it easy?" I said, nervously.

The cop puts down the AR and forces himself inside, pushing me to the side, followed by 2 other cops.

"Where's the silver kid?" The cop said. "He's not here." Tom said. "Fine then, we'll take both of you in for being at the crime scene." The cop said.

"You don't have proof that we were there." I said. The cop pointed at my head and Tom's, specifically at our hair color.

"We forgot to turn them off." I said while sighing and slapping my face.

A small but loud creak was heard from upstairs. 2 cops go up meanwhile 1 stays behind, stuck with us.

"Nightmarish Reality." Tom whispered as he touched the cop's shoulder. The cop fell to the floor with foam coming out of his mouth.

Suddenly we heard bullets get fired, followed by screaming... then it went dead silent... now following gurgling sounds.

We head upstairs and see the cops mangled to death, brutally and viciously inside a room.

"Something is wrong with me." Alexander said.

I try to get close to him... "Don't touch me, stay away!" Alexander said. "Let me help you Alexander." I said. "I don't want you to get hurt, because of me..."

I back away from him, but realized something.

"Where's Sean?" I added. "He's under the bed, I told him to hide." Alexander said as he pointed towards the bed.

I look under the bed and see Sean, horrified. I pull him out and try to calm him down. Sean looked over at Alexander and questioned him, "How are you still alive?"

Both Tom and I looked confused.

"The cops started shooting at Alexander once they saw his... demon self... and I saw it too. He was left covered in holes, oozing gallons of blood, but then he stood back up and killed them." Sean added.

We then look at Alexander and notice there were no signs of holes in his body.

"Everything is going to be fine, we can work something out, we can just run away meanwhile you stay home Sean." I said. "We'll help clean the mess Alexander left here." Tom added.

"Nothing is going to be fine..." Alexander said as he stood up. "Alexander, I know you're feeling this much, fear inside right now, but you need to realize that you are dangerous when you're scared or angry." I said.

"What do you know, you don't understand what I'm feeling." Alexander said. "Listen, we can work something out, we can just stay low from the cops and keep on hunting down some demo-" I said. In the blink of an eye, Alexander pushed me to the wall with his left arm turned into a sharp blade.

"You think what we have is just a game, that hunting demons is the only thing we need to do?" Alexander said. "I didn't mean it like that." I said. "Then what did you mean?!!" Alexander said as his bladed arm touched my throat.

"Alexander that's enough!" Tom said as he grasped his shoulder. "Don't touch me!!" Alexander said as he swung his bladed arm to cut off Tom's hand.

"What the fuck was that for you fucking idiot!?" Tom said as he held his hand less arm.

"I... I can't be with you guys anymore... I'm running away from you guys... tell my mother I'm gone for good!" Alexander said. "Alexander wait!" I said as I tried to reach for his hand. Alexander breaks through the window and flies away at a rapid speed.

"Tom, I'm going to heal your hand back and you tell his mother what happened, I'll try to get him back." I said.

"Mind Radar!" I fly out the window, seeing him on the radar and getting close to him.

"Get away from me, I don't want to hurt you!" Alexander said. "Running away won't help, let me help you!" I said. "Just leave me alone, Blood Whip!" Alexander added as a tentacle like whip, swung towards me and knocked me to the ground, making me lose Alexander for good.

"Mind Radar... Mind Radar... uhh, Mind Tracker!" I said. "God Dammit!!" I added as I punched the ground.

I flew back up and searched for Alexander one last time before heading back.

"Where are you Alexander, where are you?" I said to myself. I spent 2 hours searching for him, or any trace of him, but found nothing. I then head back to Tom and Sean.

I come though the broken window and notice the inside was cleaned up while I was gone. I also noticed Sean was sleeping on the bed and Tom was sleeping on the chair near the bed.

Tom wakes up...

"Did you find him?" Tom asked.

I looked down in guilt and Tom knew already I didn't.

"We have to tell his mother then, and the school after tomorrow." Tom said. "You haven't told her yet?" I asked. "No, it be best if we both tell her." Tom responded.

"Wait, are we forgetting some people?" I said.

Both Tom and I look at each other with our eyes wide open.

"The kids!!" We both said. Sean woke up and ran downstairs to the basement without saying a word.

"Sean, hold on!" I said.

We followed behind and down the basement, we saw Sean looking at the kids.

"Are they okay?" Tom asked. "They're sleeping, they got tired from playing down here." Sean said... then he collapsed on top of a bean bag chair.

Tom and I take a peak at the kids and we were just shocked at what we saw. The entire basement was a mess and even the walls had footprints.

"I'm sleeping in the living room couch." I said heading back upstairs. "I'll sleep in the other one." Tom said as he followed.

2 hours into our sleep, I had another nightmare...

"Where am I?" I said to myself. Suddenly I coughed out blood and looked at an arm peirced through my chest. I look up and see its Alexander with murder in his eyes.

"This is your fault, you and I have created hell on this world, and it be best to keep your mouth shut about it." Alexander said. "Wake up now."

I wake up, gasping for air and checked my chest. "Phew." I said in relief.

"Ugh, its the morning now." I said to myself.

I walk and see the kids eating breakfast with Sean's parents finally home, since they were away once we got there.

"Max, I didn't know you were here, how are you?" Sean's father said. "I've been good, and Tom is upstairs aswell sleeping with Sean." I said. "Well they can join us later in the morning to eat." Sean's mother said.

"Max!!" Tom said, alerting me to rush back upstairs.

"What happened?!" I said.
