Salvation BoyxBoy (Under Major Editing)

Prologue

Our room....it was on fire....

Everything....was on fire.....

My eyes widened as I scrambled about. I lifted myself from the searing ground and ran. All I could do was run. I couldn't scream. I couldn't even manage anything but whimpers of desperation. Him....I had to find him. I ran downstairs just in time before a burning beam fell behind me blocking my exist. I came to the living room and my eyes watered, coughing as the thick smoke robbed the oxygen out of the air. So much fire....

"RAY!!!!" I screamed. I stepped forward and a blazing wall erected towards me; I yelped at the pain that shot through my arm as I shielded myself. I cried his name over and over again till suddenly, through the deafening crackling of everything withering away under the immense heat, I heard something.. the sound of a piano. I felt myself smile as my stomach unknotted, it was Ray!..but...something was off. The playing was sloppy. Mistakes were made and the tone was chilling, sending goosebumps up my arms. I slowly turned my head towards the room. A shard of ice slowly made its way into my heart an awful sense of foreboding consuming me. I bolted towards the room and flung the doors open. Inside was Ray...the room was untouched....but all he did was sit there, playing this chilling ominous music. I stepped further and suddenly the doors slammed shut behind me. I whipped my head around and saw him. My father.

"No...." I said stepping away. He glanced over at Ray, who continued to mindlessly press the keys to produce the sickening music.

"Yes..." I heard my father say. He was dressed in a suit. His jacket was lint free; His shirt was pure white. His tie unwrinkled, his pants nice and pressed. His shoes were shined and his face....his face was clean for once. It was so unsettling seeing him this neat. This was not the man who terrorised me for years. This was someone more wicked than what I knew.

"What are you doing here..." I inquired grimly. He didn't say a word as he walked past me and over to Ray.

"You're so happy...aren't you..." he said softly I stared him horror as he placed a hand on Ray's shoulder.

"Don't touch him!" I screeched. I wanted to lunge for him but my feet wouldn't move. The lump in my throat swelled and the uneasiness intensified, he trailed his hand from Ray's shoulder to his neck, where his fingers crawled across it, feeling the vital arteries that contained his essence. With just a touch, I saw something that was horrifying. Dark, thin veins raised from where his hand touched him, and quickly it spread all across Ray's skin. His flesh started to pale, veins bulging out and darkening. Ray started giggling and the music he was playing was becoming more rapid and harsh. I could see the veins spreading up to Rays eyes; the whites of his eyes became black. There was no sound of anguish. There was no voice of protest coming from him. Just that insane giggling and the music.

So...so happy..." he murmured, in a flash his head snapped towards my direction.

"Let me change that!" He said, his voice dropping to an unnatural low and high at the same time. In an instant his eyes grew so wide that the skin around them split, and his smile strained as his lips stretched across his face to reveal rows of sharp teeth. He snapped his fingers and the room was on fire.

Fire...so much fire...

"NO!!!!" I yelled. I wanted to rip his head off. I wanted to run. I wanted to hold Ray, but...it was not him anymore. He was polluted, corrupted, void of his boyish innocence. The one that was once so pure to me was now infested with madness.

My father cackled, his head thrown back; blood dripping from his mouth and eyes. His sharp teeth glinted in the light from the roaring fire. His mouth stretched in a wicked grin that caused the slowly stream of cold to blast into my body. He twisted his head in short jerky movements, eyeing me with his now red irises.

"Never...Levi....NEVER!!!" he screamed and moved towards me, his legs and arms twisting and turning into inhumane positions, he moved towards me in an agonizing pace, blood dripping onto the floor. I could hear each drop of blood hissing as it hit the floor. I could hear the sound of his bones cracking underneath his flesh. I could hear the high pitched squeal ringing in my ears. My eyes were stuck staring at him, wide with terror as he stumbled closer and closer. His eyes never left mine. He finally made it to me. His body had changed along the way. His height towered over me. His limbs were long and narrow. His fingers were bony and clawed. He was a monster...the demon that never left me. He lived inside me. He lurked in the crevices of my mind and I would never escape him.

"Never Levi...." he hissed, extending his long serpentine tongue at my face to lick my tears. I screamed from the pain of his tongue. It felt like a razor was being slid across my cheek, opening my skin and allowing the pain to flow. I screamed and turned away, sobbing when I felt my pulse accelerate. I stared down at my hands and watched the black veins raising up my arms and to the palms of my hands. I looked back up at his face and felt the sudden urge to vomit. I was infected.

"NEVER!!!!" He shrieked and he darted back towards Ray, tongue flailing, claws extended, cackling maniacally.

"DON'T TAKE RAY AWAY!!!!" I cried at the top of my lungs.
