Curse of the Black Dahlia: PT1

Chapter 7

Four hours passed, and I was still trying to get the holomessage back up again.

"Why? W... why did you have to end?" I sobbed.

I get up, and I find a stake within the armoury. I pick it, and I slowly push the stake into my heart. I scream out in pain, and Nyx comes in yanks the stake out.

"Just let me kill myself, Nyx!" I say to her sobbing. "There's nothing else here for me."

"There's Daniel. I've seen how protective you are over him." She says.

"I didn't show you how protective I am over him to you."

"You don't have to tell me." She says. "I can see it all in your face, and looks."

I stand there, and I wipe my tears from my eyes.

"Th... thank you... Nyx." I thank her, and I walk away.

"Nikki?" Nyx calls out to me.

"Yes?"

"Let's train."

"Huh, how are you so eager to train?"

"Well, you say I have powers, right?"

"Yeah...?"

"I want to use them."

"If you want to use them, you'll need to let go of past memories." I tell her. "Either that's past life or that's current life memories."

"And how the fuck do I do that?" She asks.

"Well, you got to go almost into a meditative state." I say to her. "Like... well, let's try going into a sensory deprivation. No, sight, hearing, scent, and touch." I tell her. "Well, I'll try." I mumble.

I tired a rope around Nyx's wrists tight enough that she won't leave. I had placed a blind fold upon her face, put on a headset to prevent her from hearing, and something small enough but also big enough to prevent her from smelling scents.

2 hours go by, and then I sense something change towards Nyx. I look towards her, and hell, there is a white aura coming from around her. I thought back to one of my lessons about auras.

"If the aura is white, the person is them, but they also aren't themselves."

I look back at Nyx, and it seems like she is to be remembering something.

"Πάντα θα σε προστάτευα. κανείς δεν μπορεί να αγγίξει ούτε τη σκιά σου. πεθαίνουν ακόμα και πριν έρθουν οπουδήποτε κοντά σου. Θα τους δώσω τον ταραχώδη θάνατο που τους αξίζει."

"Huh, what's she saying?" I asked myself.

"She's saying,"I would always protect you. no one can even touch your shadow. they die even before they come anywhere near you. I will give them the tortuous death they deserve."

"I didn't know you knew Greek, Kai?" I say.

"There's other things I keep to myself." He says. "And that's one of them."

After a few minutes, she came out of her trance of some sorts and seemed oblivious to whatever had just happened, like it happens either on a daily basis or this training thing is working.

"If that's my training, I didn't expect it to work." I say to Kai. "It's like she's embracing my teachings."

"Well, if it seems like you're doing an amazing job." This is the first time he has complimented me. "I mean, darling-"

I froze Kai where he is by leaving his mouth open. "If you keep calling me,"darling," I will break your jaw, and I will make sure that it is past fixable. Do you understand?" I tell Kai. He just nods as he can't talk. "Good. Now get the fuck away from me."

He walks out leaving me and Nyx alone.

"Nyx, who told that?" I ask her.

"Told me what?" She asked.

"The, "I will always protect. No one can even touch your shadow. They die even before they come anywhere near you. I will give them a torturous death they deserve,"?"

"Oh, he did." She says. "Ere... something."

Erebus. My teachings are working.

When I looked back at Nyx, she was fast asleep.

God, this girl must love her sleep. Well, just like me. I wonder if Erebus is just Zain in their universe and I'm Nyx.

"Sleep, Nyx. You need it after our training sesh."

She turned over onto her side and... her aura is all calm.

I wonder now if she's asleep.

I walked to her, and I placed my hand on her head.
