Death the Kid's Curse

Chapter 14

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Soul Eater or Blue exorcist, I only own my OCs and the story idea.

"Daemon" Kid growled.

The other DWMA students looked at the holographic figure of one of Kid's friends in shock. They had no idea why Kid was glaring and acting so hostile to one of the friends he had made at the Death creature camp.

Daemon laughed cruelly and spread his arms out.

"Long time, no see! It's good to see you all again! Sally, Mephisto, Amaimon... Kid." he said.

"Can't say the same about you." Mephisto said, looking at the image with a blank face.

"Oh, really? You hurt me, you truly hurt me. How can you say that after everything we've been through?"

"You betrayed us!" Sally yelled, angry tears in her eyes.

"You're still not over that?" Daemon sighed. Maka and the others watched this exchange from their places on the couches.

"You should all give up on your dreams of being accepted by humans. They're an inferior race to us. They fear us, we can use that fear to end the humans once and for all. Just join me." Daemon continued.

"We'd never join you!" Amaimon growled.

"You're not the one I really want anyway." He fixed his gaze on Kid, "You know it's inevitable, Kid, stop this nonsense and take your place by my side."

"Never. I'm nothing like you." Kid said, "Where's Rin?"

"We're more alike than you realize. Anyway, Rin is enjoying my hospitality at the moment. And, soon he will be on my side." Daemon said, an evil glint in his eyes.

"Rin would never join you!" Mephisto yelled furiously.

"HAHAHA! Maybe not before, but once he is consumed by the madness and gives in to insanity, he will join me!" Daemon smirked, taking pleasure in the terrified looks in his former friends' faces.

"No! You can't!" Sally yelled.

"Who can stop me?! And, Kid, deny it all you want now, but once your curse takes over your mind and you lose yourself, you will join me in destroying human kind!"

With that last message, Daemon's image faded and the glow faded from the Death creatures' necklaces. Kid stood frozen, staring at the spot where Daemon had been with his mouth open, and Sally dropped to her knees.

"No, he can't do this. He just can't do this." she mutters angrily, tears falling from her eyes.

"We need to think about our next move. That conversation did give us some information, although not much, we can use that to help us save Rin." Mephisto said.

"I think we should go back to the camp tomorrow. We may be able to find someone who can tell us where Daemon is!" Amaimon said, "Right. Kid?"

Kid still didn't move, he only broke his trance when he heard Patty's voice behind him.

"Kid? What did he mean 'your curse'?" she asked, no longer finding the situation they were in even slightly funny.

Kid looked at his friends. Maka was studying his face as if she was trying to identify the curse by looking at him. Soul sat next to her, eyebrow raised in question. Across from them, Black*Star looked at Kid bored, but Kid could make out a hint of worry in the assassin's eyes. Tsubaki watched him waiting for his response, willing to accept any answer and try to help. Patty looked at him curiously, she also looked worried for her meister. Then Kid looked at Liz. He could see worry in her eyes, along with a little fear, anger, and hurt. He really hated seeing her hurt like that, especially when he was the cause.
