Tainted Hearts

Here Comes The Storm

[A/N: Incase some are confused.. Yes, Andrew did apologize several times before the occurrence on the previous chapter. Need to note every apology he did was never genuine. Take the one from Chapter 6 as an example, he did apologize but only out of panic. He's a demon, dear readers.]

The event yesterday couldn't leave my mind. Many questions roamed my head, though one thing for sure I had learned from the fight; I was getting weaker.
Days ago I was able to split a mountain in half.. But yesterday? I was actually aiming to send Andrew to the moon or break his skull into liquid..
I was planning to kill him... What was I thinking?!

'How long would it take until THAT time..' I asked myself.

Focusing to the present time, I taught Andrew everything about good deeds and genuine positive emotions.
While yes it was difficult, he was trying.
It was... Odd to say the least, teaching a demon.
On the other hand, the authority was CRAZY to search for us again, and I certainly know why.

Let's talk about the topic I want to discuss this whole time.

The Founder, a figure I admired so much. His sheer power alone made Lucifer himself tremble in fear.
They say he was a good and noble leader, defending his people for centuries from the danger of the supernaturals.
And when he passed away, we were told that his power became a shield for Verosha.

It was a lie.

It wasn't his power that kept the monsters away, but the inflicted fears The Founder had put them.
His greedy son took advantage of this, he made a lie that his father's power became a shield and kept the monsters away and to keep the power 'alive'.. The Residents were obligated  to give most of their incomes to himself.
Centuries later, son by son later..
Humans keep on evolving; their Lust, Wrath, Pride, etc but most importantly Greed.

And there I was, I somehow found out that the power of The Founder protecting us was a lie, a lie to achieve money and wealth.
And I was furious, for centuries my people were forced and lived under a massive lie.. It was insulting to me, my family, my people, and The Founder himself!
.. And somehow they found out I knew. Being greedy they were, the authority tasked some people to assassinate me..

I will never forget WHO pulled the trigger.

Though, unfortunately i—

"AAAAAAHHH!!"

My inner monologue was sadly interrupted.. Eh, the past stays at the past anyway. I don't think I'll bring it up ever again anyway.

I flew over to the source of the scream which was in the kitchen, turns out it was Andrew baking a cake and he accidentally touched the oven.. No, not accidentally, this idiot has the brain of an infant.
I rushed to him with half concern.

"Is everything alright?"

"Oh yeah, all right.. Definitely the screaming earlier was a happy birthday scream." He said with sarcasm.

"Oka-"

"NO, NOT FINE. LOOK AT MY FINGER." He raise his burnt index finger.

"... You got burnt.. Aren't you a demon..? Ya supposed to be immune to fire.. Well from what I've been told."
