The Book of Gemma VOL. 2

9: What Have I Done?

The black that swallowed the back of my eyes now swallows them whole. My eyes are dark as the pit of space and yet my sight is clearer than ever.. It was rageful, targeting the damned souls. My stars stopped pressurizing and let my bones shape back to normal instead of caving in, the sweet chill sending a purr down my spine. The clouds above no longer a sad, dreary gray now roar with the sound of a thousand drums. Lightning lights up the sky in the purple hue of Deecon's eyes.

Virgo whispers into my ear, "Don't worry, I'll warm up that ice block between those legs of yours."

...and then my head turns to him.
His eyes widen seeing the darkness of my eyes, his face turns white with every color leaving his face.
I smile at him with not a trace of tenderness but the smile of pure evil in my heart.
With one swift move, my teeth rip his vocal chords from his throat. My mouth drips of silver as it splatters onto my shirt, his hands trying to cover the gaping hole in his throat as he bleeds out onto the pavement. My hand plunges into his chest, ripping his stars and consuming his power. Just drain their stars? A swift death? That was weak creature technology... I was going to rip them limb from limb because..

I am THEIR God.
THEIR nightmare.

I hear Scorpz scream as she turns to see Virgo dead on the steps and me smiling as I sit on the porch, his blood splattered on my face and dripping from my mouth. Leo lets go of Deecon's broken body as Virgo's illusions disappear from his eyes.
Deecon spits up blood and looks up to Leo with a cackle. "You guys are so fucked."

I rise from the step and walk closer to them, their steps retreating as they see the darkness they've let into the world.
"It's impossible.. No one comes back from the black hole." Scropz shakes telling Leo.
Leo pushes Scorpz to the ground and begins to flee, his toes getting a foot off the ground. I raise my hand and smash him back onto the ground,
"What's the rush Leo? I thought we were playing with Vyx's creations?" My voice comes out so haunting it sends Scorpz to bend the knee in front of me.
"Please forgive me, Gemini... I-.. I will serve under you.. I will-"
"Enough!" I shriek as I grab onto her throat and pull her an inch from my face.
My other hand claws into the top of her forehead and shreds it backwards, skinning her scalp. She cries out in pain but it just fuels my thoughts of how to torture her next.

I slam her back to the ground and let a dark sphere appear from my palm,
"Keep her occupied." I whisper to it, it slides off my hand and creates a black fog swirling around Scorpz head. She flails her limbs and begs for mercy.. Funny, I never got any from her.

I walk over to Leo, smashed into the ground at least ten feet down into the dirt. I reach inside the hole and grab his ankle, dragging him over to Scorpz.
"Gemini please! Look! Deecon is fine! He's healed! Deecon, please tell her!"
I look over to Deecon who's dark side has come out to play as well,
He smirks, "Why does anyone think I have control over this Goddess?... You three didn't invite her to play with you as kids because you hated her.. You were scared of her-" Deecon limps over to the steps and sits beside Virgo's dead body. "-Now I have a front row for your judgment day."

I throw my leg up and stomp it down, breaking Leo's leg.
"How fast can you heal?" I taunt as Leo and Scorpz screams harmonize.
"How fast will this heal?" I raise my palm to his legs as they begin to pull in on themselves. Every inch breaking as the bones crinkle and leave splinters through his flesh. Each time they began to heal I would break and misshapen.

I remove the dark fog from Scorpz and start the breaking of her legs so they can be in hell together. Virgo had given me such great ideas, my other palm raising to them. Their flesh starts to cut as I carve my name all over their body.
They deserved hell, they deserved every ounce of evil I had but something bothered me.. They didn't deserve to be Gods, they didn't deserve those stars in their chest.. I did.
