Destiny Awaits

Linked Minds

To his horror and disbelief, MK sees her. The girl he gave up his life to save. Still trapped in the demon's mind.

"K-Kid?! What are you doing here?!"

"I-I don't k-kn-know! I th-think I fell asleep? Maybe?? I don't kn-know!!," She exclaimed, her eyes soon bursting into tears, "I'm sorry m-mr. MK! I didn't want to l-leave you! I-I couldn't!"

MK sighed as he closed his eyes for a moment. He needed to process this. Even though he surrendered himself to the bone demon, it seems like the little girl is still her prisoner. In a way. He was angry. Of course he was! She didn't keep her end of the bargain! But he didn't want to let his anger out in front of the kid. She seemed terrified, he didn't need to add any more stress and fear to her.

"Okay...okay..." The monkey boy opened his eyes and looked at the girl who was now close and in front of him. The weight of the invisible chains still weighed on his wrists as he tried to place his hands on her shoulders for comfort.

Luckily, the girl noticed, immediately wrapping her arms around his waist, burying her face against his chest. Almost immediately, the boy felt his shirt start to get wet. Most likely from the tears the girl is shedding.

Once the girl settled herself, they just stood in silence. This is the first time MK felt warmth, for what seems like hours of just cold. MK felt like he could burst into tears himself at that moment. But he had to show the girl that he is brave. He can't show her weakness. He did, however shed some tears. He felt afraid and alone for those hours of isolation. So seeing the girl hugging and comforting him, he deeply appreciated it.

MK cleared his throat as he used his shoulder to brush away some of the tears on his cheek, "Okay...can you tell me your name? Since you know mine and all.."

The girl pushed her face away from his chest as she looked up at the boy, "B-Bai He..."

"Nice to officially meet you, Bai He," He dry-fully chuckled, "Can you tell me what happened after I...you know..."

The young girl nodded her head as she played with the strings of her jacket, "When you got possessed...I tried to run away...b-but she grabbed me and put me in a cell. I-I want to go home!" She cried out.

MK lets out a low growl, "That wasn't part of the de-" He angrily grunts as he tries to move his wrists, "Hey bone wench! This wasn't part of the deal! I know you can hear me! Come here!!"

"W-What are you doing?!" Bai He yelped in fear. The boy shook his head, "I need to have a talk with our host- Come here and talk to me!!"

"Could you stop the screaming? Just a simple hello would be enough," A chilling whisper came behind his ear. MK slightly gasps as he turns around to see the one and only lady bone demon. In her true form. He couldn't help but shiver in fear at her original look. He almost wished he would be talking to his possessed self.

"W-Well-" MK cleared his throat, "-I don't care! We had a deal, lady! You possess me, you let her go!-"

"But, as you can see, I did indeed let her go," She suddenly disappeared from MK's view, "She is no longer in my possession," MK gasps as he turns his head around to see the lady bone demon having her hands on the terrified girl's shoulders, "She is now in the hands of the spiders, you see. So technically she is free from me...but you didn't clarify on how free she can be,"

"It doesn't need to be clarified! She had to be completely free!-"

"So...you want to go back on our deal? Fine then,"

MK looked at the demon in shock. Is she really willing to go back on the deal?- "I will let you go and possess..." She then wraps her around around the girl's waist and hoists her up in her arms, she then presses her cheek against the younger, just like a mother would do to their child, "This precious child again. I did miss her cuteness, no offense to you, monkey,"
