Darkness Within

Chapter six

I woke up with a jump, sweat rolling down my face and blood tears still dripping down my eyes. "Fuck! " I jumped out of bed and realized that I never found my Uncle Paul.

I walked down the stairs to find him eating a waffle.

"WHERE WERE YOU! " I screamed at him.

"I was here, the whole time. How,  I don't know,  so don't ask. "

"You teleported!  Yeeeeeee!!!!  When I meant body gaurd and created you I hit the jackpot!  You might have a the same powers as I do! I jumped around clapping by hands like a little girl. "But your fiancé can't know. "

"What why! " His mouth was still full with a waffle.

"Because she'll end up being hunted like us. "

"We're being hunted! Why am I just now finding this out! " He said dropping his waffle.  "And I dropped my waffle!  This day just keeps getting worse! Ugh! "

"Morn over your waffle later.  I'm going to take you to my secret training facility. I'm going to teach you how to fight demon style. "

"Psh with my karate skills I've got this! " My uncle did some air karate moves. "Hiiiiiyyaaaa!!!!!!"

I couldn't help but laugh. He's the best Uncle ever. I felt bad he had to be a demon like me though. I got changed into an exercise bra and some yoga pants before I left to train. 

"Let's go!" I ran over to him and pulled him  into an abandon warehouse in Venice Italy. Home of the Angels."

"I thought that was Anaheim? Or even  Los Angeles? "

"You have so much to learn." Placing my hand on my forehead. 

"Well then teach me teacher! "

"Alright,  you see these? " I should him the cuts on my arms and palms.

Wide eyes he said,  "I thought you just had issues. "

"No,  I can make them go away but right now I need them. "

"Are my arms going to look like that! " He legitimately looked frightened.

"A, this is the last thing you should worry about. B, you can make them go away just like your wings.  And c, they're what you use to fight with.  Show me your claws. "

"Umm okay,  how do I do that?. "

"Just relax and breath while thinking about them or use anger as your ability. It's not hard see. " I flicked out my claws,  long sharp,  and dark.

"Alright,  I got this. " He put so much effort I had to laugh because nothing happened.

"So umm the other way to have that happen and since we're on a time limit here...  Let me see your hand. "

"What are you goi- Ah fuck!  Did you just break my finger! FUCK! "

"If you like I can rip it off instead. You'll be fine in a few minutes. But see your claws and fangs are here!  Two for one! Now let them wings loose!"

"Oooohhh I fucking hate you. "

"Good!  Come at me with your best shot weenie. " I made hand gestures to have him move forward.  I let my wings and fangs out now.  He started running at me and I immediately stopped him with a flick of my large wing. 

"What! Ahhhhhh!!!! " He came running again.  Smack. Once again on the floor.

"You're going to run out of breath kiddo. "

"That's your nickname! "

"Use your wings to your advantage.  Same goes for your claws. Here let me show you."  I brought out one of the training dummies.

I went rage on the damn thing,  but elegantly I might add. My wings went left and right,  rolled under me over my head, side to side, all over the place allowing me to slightly levitate unless I need to grab the head of the dummy. Flipping myself over landibg on its shoulders and having a nice tear in the neck with my claw. Alllowing me to rip its head clean off.

"Do that."

"You want me to do... that? Im dying. This is it. This is the end. Alright. On my gravestone pleade put Sad Fucker Tried. " He got up and tried the best he could until he fell off the dummies shoulders and ontk his back.

"Not bad if you want to look like a flailing idiot." I was laughing so hard at this point that I was crying. "Okay watch me."  I did the same movement with my wings and did spins, turns,  and flips, moved one foot in front of the other, and even did slides. "Got it? Follow along with me slowly."

My Uncle did so and it wasn't as awful as his previous encounters with his wings. He actually got the hang of it a few hours later.

"Alright now that you have an idea of that, tomorrow when I get home from school. I'll teach you about what you humans call 'blood magic', that's what the scars are from. Let's go home. And you need to be home by the time Im home so we get started right away. Got it?"

"Ugh fine Mom. Can we go home now, please?" I pulled us into tthe portal and ploppee right at home. While he went to go shower,  showered in my bathroom and went to bed,  after I picked out my clothes for school tomorrow. 

I wanted to sleep, but I kept thinking about Samuel...
