It's been a good while since Gabriel and William became friends and they had quickly grown quite fond of each other. Gabriel hadn't felt so alive for a long time. He wanted to hold that feeling close so he spent most of his time with William.

"Hey William." He asked him one day carefully. "Do you know who [Redacted] is? The weird creator I mean.." William studied his face for a second. "I do. My friends were chosen by him. Why?" He asked back to which Gabriel looked down. "My power, it's a curse he put on me intentionally. I don't know what I have done to make him this unhappy. I just want to live a good life and all I get from [Redacted] is hate and misfortune..." Gabriel mumbled taking a pocky stick and eating it.

"Gabriel I don't think it's how you think... He cares about you... Otherwise he would never have tasked me and Erika with making sure you're safe..." The words spilled out of his mouth without him thinking. "You... What?.." Gabriel asked feeling betrayed. "I thought you wanted to be my friend..." He managed to get out with his voice breaking. "I never said I didn't... The while I was with you was awesome... Doesn't matter how we met." William claimed taking his hands.

Gabriel started crying. The first friendship he ever had was artificially created by [Redacted]. He slowly backed away from William and ran out of his dorm. He was hurt and if Gabriel wanted anything, it was for [Redacted] to dissappear forever and leave him alone. He stumbled through the streets wanting to go home, while on the other hand not wanting to return to disappoint his mother that there was never a friendship.

After a while he tripped and fell slightly bruising his knee. Suddenly someone offered him a hand. "Hey, do you need help? That looked like it hurt." Gabriel looked up to see a boy with long brown hair and black striking eyes. He took his hand.

"I'm Desmond. I'm in your parallel class." He said. Gabriel looked at him a little while. "I'm Gabriel..." He said. "Do you want to come to my place? I got myself a small house instead of a dorm. More comfortable haha." Desmond suggested. "Uh, sure..." Gabriel mumbled and followed him. Desmond lead him to a small house and sat him down at a table. Desmond cleaned his wound and bandaged it for him, made him a tea and sat down at a table with him.

"So, why were you out in the rain all by yourself?" Desmond asked calmly with a charming gaze. "I... It's complicated. I had a fight with someone." Gabriel stuttered. "Desmond, right?" Gabriel asked and continued. "What would be if there was a higher being influencing everything we do, making our lifes hell?"

Desmond grinned. "Are you talking about a being like [Redacted]?" He questioned grabbing his tea and keeping a curious expression on his face. "Y-You know him?" Gabriel asked shocked. "Please don't tell me he tasked you with hanging out with me as well....." Gabriel muttered looking to the ground. He was scared and didn't want to keep on getting manipulated by [Redacted].

"I despise him." Desmond answered. "He ruined my life as well, atleast kinda. I have a small army of people affected by him aswell. We want to take him down. He might be godlike but there has to be a way to kill him." Desmond said determined but calm and took a sip of his tea.

"That's... You want to kill him?" Gabriel asked kinda scared. The individual before him was charming and calculated as if he didn't feel any regret just stating that he wants to.kill something that's out of their control. Gabriel stood up and backed away. "You want to hurt a being with feelings? Atleast I think he has.. That's not right, even if he is evil. Even if he ruined our lifes, it's not right!" Gabriel stated his face full of fear.

Desmond laughed. "Oh, a being like him doesn't have anything. He sees us as mere ants to step on. Why not see him the same way? I will make sure he feels the same pain we did. And so will you...." Desmond added pointing at his leg. Gabriel looked at his bruised knee as he suddenly felt a sharp pain. It was like his entire soul was being torn apart.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, YOU MONSTER?" Gabriel yelled in pain. He looked at his leg as it was slowly turning pitch black corrupting. His eyes hurt alot as well until they started to bleed and Gabriel broke down.

"My power... When I put my blood in that of another person, I can control them, corrupt them, strengthen them, hurting them...Your wound was a perfect opportunity... too perfect not to take advantage of.." Desmond towered over him.

"I suggest you follow everything I  tell you or this will not be an enjoyable experience for you.."
