Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 99

Very sorry about the delay. There might be some mistakes, sorry about it if there are.

Above is a painting I did for fun, took like three days but it was pretty relaxing (that's not the finished painting in the picture, that was when I'd just started)

Alastor's POV

My shadow and I stared at each other. He looked rather annoyed that I'd interrupted whatever he was about to do to them.

I felt anger pool in my chest as I glanced at the two briefly. They're shaken up, but they don't look to be injured...

"Don't make me repeat myself." I growled at him, stepping closer slowly. He huffed and slunk away from them, to which I quickly placed myself between him and the two girls.

"I thought I made myself clear that they are off limits," I said, scowling as the creature smiled at me and chuckled darkly. I should have performed the spell that attaches him to me, I should have just done it.

If done incorrectly, it kills the host, but I should have just done it for their sake. Then none of this would've happened.

My fist clenched and I pointed to the case full of blood deals, "go, take as many of my souls as you want, but you can't have them," I said firmly.

My heart was pounding, and I was scared. That's not good, I cannot be scared right now he feels what I feel, and he knows...

By the way he's smiling, I know he does...

The shadow shook his head slowly, not even glancing at the vials of blood. He's not interested.

I grit my teeth and hissed as a burning pain spread across my chest, and I looked down to see my shirt was shredded, three long claw scratches across my front. The cuts started to bleed, and I growled and looked up at him.

A smile spread across my lips and I tilted my head, stepping closer to him, "is that really all ya got?"

Suddenly my movements stopped as my heart hit my ribs hard, and I gasped, clutching my heart.

It became difficult to stand as I looked up and saw the shadow smiling down at me wickedly, chuckling.

My breathes were harsh and I shook my head, blinking several times as I steadied myself and kept my balance.

He's not taking me down that easily. Not now. Not when it's them on the line.

"You can't kill them without my direct permission, they are not victims of mine!" I snapped, "so fuck off!"

His head tilted, and I yelled out when it felt like my brain pulsed. This time I did fall to my knees, holding my head as it pounded in my ears, a loud ringing blocking out every other noise until a soft, haunting whisper traveled through my head.

No...

It said,

But you can.

My eyes widened as a chuckle faded out and the ringing was replaced by hundreds of voices, screaming, crying, begging, laughing.

Kill them.

They're telling me to kill them, kill who...who do I need to kill right now to make this stop...

Kill them.

I turned to see two figures sitting on the floor a few feet away, my smile so wide it was hurting as tears fell down my face.

The whispers got louder, clouding my brain and taking over my thoughts.

Kill them.

I stood up, wobbly. If it'll make these dreaded whispers stop, I'd kill anyone. I can't see straight, what was I even doing? Where am I?
