The Strings Being Pulled

Ch 82

Harry's POV

Asher carefully inserts the needle into Liza's arm, extracting a small amount of her blood. He sighs, glancing over at the random rat we had found outside, not bothering to change the needle before inserting her blood inside of it as I patch up Liza's arm. She seems completely unbothered and mostly just curious, I'm glad she's brave like that.

"Alright, would you like me and Liza to leave?" Asher asks as he throws the needle into a ziplock bag.
"Yeah, we're still not sure of what can happen, I I've said no this idea before but now we have little time." I answer. "This could go horribly wrong or we get perfect results, no inbetween."
"You're right, though I'll be waiting outside just in case." he smiles.
"Don't get hurt Mr Demon." Liza kisses me on the cheek before she walks out with Asher.

I smile as the door closes but now, I'll have to do something that I haven't done in ages. Purifying blood, the moment I stopped doing it, I was way happier but this just brings back lots of painful memories. My eyes start to burn a little but I hold the tears back, there's not enough time so I can't let my old memories come back because this is Liza's blood inside of the rat.

We don't have a way to make sure that it really will be poison even if it goes perfectly. Best results is that the rat dies and all the angel cells are purified as the simultaneously mix with the rat's blood to create poison or it goes horribly wrong as something unknown ends up happening. I've heard of my ancestors doing it in the past but there has never been anything confirmed of the results and it became something taboo.

I take a deep breath as a familiar painful feeling starts to come back, going into my hand as a glow creates. Black like strings go into the rat and there's a loud screech from it as I'm forced to to cover one ear. It starts off as normal but then there's a huge white flash, yet the purification doesn't stop but inside my ear there is now a voice.

"What is your purpose for this, child?" a deep lady like voice asks...a picture of a starving vampire flashes infront of my eyes.
"Poison, I need poison for the sake of saving my loved ones from torture." I answer. "To end the journey of the man who hurt many."
"Oh so young you are...yet so much responsibility you have, I'm seeing that you cannot get rid of this responsibility if you do not do this..." she states, a picture of the same vampire sucking out blood from a corpse as a black haired demon woman watches with cold eyes flashes.

My ancestor, this is the exact same story I had explained to Liza about the powers...I'm guessing she was the first one who created the power. I can't tell if she is a regular spirit or some kind of god that I don't believe in but whatever it is, I'm guessing this is why none of my ancestors displayed any results of trying this. I'm gonna have to be careful with my answer.

"Why sha'll I let you follow through?" she questions.
"Why shouldn't you is the question?" I respond. "Better yet, what's the point of it?"
"Because nature is what created this animal, the people, however, demon's are not from this world, we demons were once so different but evolved to be here." she answers. "This power was created as weapon for protection from those with the same mind as us but this animal is nothing like that."
"Then that reasoning is perfect for our goal, it's to protect and bring closure." I reply.
"Suppose you have a point, though he was the one who ended the war." she says.

I freeze, the pain has already killed the rat though the purification isn't finished. I still have to convince her, there's nothing about it that I can't avoid...this is my ancestor, everything she's saying is already surprising but that last one. Weller stopped the war that caused vampire to go nearly extinct? It was never put down in history though I'm guessing it was on purpose.

But how does my ancestor know when she was dead before the war happened but not alive when demons came into this world...? I don't know if she's a god, spirit, but I do know that she is powerful, way more powerful than me in a way. A lot of things are running inside my head, memories, flashbacks and my head trying to make sense of her words.

"But as you have said, this will bring closure to everyone, if you are unable to kill him without death, hurting your loved ones then you are cursed to travel in darkness for eternity." she says before I somehow stumble back and it all stops. The rat is dead infront of me and my hand is hurting from being stuck purifying for so long which usually takes no more than 30 seconds.

I breathe heavily, trying to make sense of what just happened. I'm thankful we're in an abandoned warehouse but I feel like I've just gone through something completely new and now, I have a curse. If I die aswell then I'm stuck with darkness in the afterlife. That's pretty terrifying...

Asher and Liza walks in, the moment I see Liza, I smile. Feeling at comfort again, seeing two people I love, Liza is my light and Strawberry, Asher is the best dad I could've asked for. I'm gonna do my best to not die then.

"Are you ok, you look pale?" Liza asks with a concerned tone.
"Well, good news is we have vampire poison but the process was way too weird and I feel exhausted..." I answer.
"We can sit down then." she kisses me on the lips, wrapping her wing around me.
"I'm proud of you both, I'll do my best to make sure you don't get too much work for the day though I can guarantee it." Asher states.

Liza gives a thumbs up as we both go to sit somewhere by the window. I put my head on Liza's shoulder before falling asleep instantly, so fucking tired...
