The Devil's Son: As Cold As Ice

Chapter Eleven: Hatred

My eye lit opened up with panic, my breath coughed in my throat. Sweat runs down from my forehead to my neck as I shuddered. My heart thumbs against my chest hard and my lungs weren’t working like they were supposed to. I swallowed my saliva and breathe in harshly to regain my composure.

Why would I dream of that? That happened way too long ago, it is just a small part of my past, so why would I dream of that? That happened right after…… right after…… I stabbed Damian in the chest and brought him to his end. That was then I lost myself. My reason for living had completely been taken away. But that bastard Lucian, he asked me that one question that even I couldn’t answer. If Josephine had died, then why am I still alive? That was the question that I couldn’t answer. That was the question that had kept me alive for all these while. But because of that man, I have lost sight of my reason to live. Because that ass hole who betrayed me had made me forget something so important.

As I drive in the junction where all the teenagers waltzing their way in to that fancy school with their fancy shoes and bags, a familiar demonic pressure wave that beats softly and weakly caught my attention. It had helped me confirm his presence. My eyes instinctively turned towards him. There he was sitting there laughing with his friends. How can he do that? How can he still live so happily after what he had done? There, sitting beside of him was another brother of ours. That boy is too young and stupid to follow him. Beside that boy was a girl. Ah, the infamous Allure, the once that lure her prey towards her with her charm and alluring scent and voice. What a family reunion?

I could feel the gaze of the puny humans and the aura of those puny Grimms. What can they do to me? I am too old for them to handle. Confidently, I got out of the car. Shock hit my siblings laughing face into a fearful once. My power brought those puny Grimms to their knees. The only person that is unaffected by my charm or my power is my little brother, Damian. There he stood facing me with anger in his eyes. How dare he show his anger to me? He who was the one who broke his promise, he who had lost my faith in him, how dare he show me his anger?

‘Brother.’ Allure said to me weakly. The young one click his tongue at me with despise in his face. As for my little brother, Damian, he glared at me with anger and betrayal in his eyes like daggers towards me. Sweat running down the young one’s neck as though he was in pain, which let me to let out a smirk on my face. ‘Oh, my, my, I have totally forgotten to control my power, love.’ I said sarcastically as I suppress my powers. Relief set across Allure’s pretty face. But Damian’s and Dominic’s showed no change. I turned my gaze to Damian. ‘Brother, you look well.’ I said sarcastically with anger burned within me. Instantly, Damian let out a growled of anger too low to be heard by humans but loud enough for me to hear it. ‘Don’t you dare ‘brother’ me!’ Damian spat. A spark lit up within me, this feeling I had not felt for a very long time. I felt happy. I am really happy that Damian is piss off. I am really glad. ‘Your words hurt a lot, mon frère.’ I said. As I said those words, Damian’s face turned red. I felt an odd anger arose within my heart. I am both angry and happy. I am happy because he is angry yet, at the same time, I am angry. I hate the fact that he is angry. He shouldn’t be. I am the one that is supposed to be angry! He has no right to show his anger at me! After all those broken promise that he did not fulfill, after how he betray my trust, he have no rights!

Damian’s anger turned him into a rude man. He cursed at me in French as though it is to make sure that only I would know. I let out a smirk at him. ‘You’re in America, mon frère. Do not speak and curse in French.’ I said to him with a laugh. Slowly, I walked away from him with a sly smile on my face. I could sense my surrounding clearly. So clearly that I could feel someone familiar, too familiar, my eyes fell to that girl. Her long dark brown hair softly curls behind her small waist, her features resembles her too much.

Curiosity drove me towards her. Her puny human boyfriends stood in front of her protectively as though they could do anything about it. Both boys glare at me with fury but what intrigues me most is that all three of them, both boys and this girl are Grimms. She stood up with her chin up high and her chest up to show that she isn’t intimidated by me. But I could hear it, her heart beats like crazy and she is sweating. Yet, how can she resemble her so much? ‘Juliette?’ I called out. ‘Is that you?’ I asked. Realization hit me as she frown at me in confusion. Of cause she isn’t Juliette because Juliette is long dead. Although she has both her eyes and hair, she isn’t exactly like Juliette. Perhaps, this girl is Juliette’s kin. ‘No, no way that you’ll be Juliette. She’s long dead.’ I said. I turned to look at Damian and his expression was filled with fear and concern. This girl is his mate. A smirk spread across my face. So in the end, he has the same fate as I once did. He has a Grimm as his mate. ‘Ah, you’re the Grimm girl.’ I said just to test his reaction. Before I could turn and watch Damian suffer, this girl clear her throat and instantly caught my attention. ‘It’s Shane Aragon!’ She said firmly with no hesitation. Her tone was venomous and I could feel that her fear for me is slowly receding. A sly smile spread across my face as I approach her ear. I could feel her shiver as my cold breath touches her soft face and ear. ‘You’re a feisty one. I am Sebastian Chevalier.’ I whispered.

A gasp leak out of her fake confident front, her eyes look up at me with shock. She was dumbstruck. I took off my sunglasses and instantly, I could see her sweat rolling down her forehead. It was as though she realized something. This girl, she must have known something. Instantly, I wanted to emit more fear into her. I want her to fear me. I kneeled down on one knee as I took up her delicate hand and slowly, softly brushes my lips against her knuckles. The moment my lips touch her knuckles she shivered. I smirked at her with satisfaction as she stared straight into my eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a strong firm hand on me and I was pushed down on the floor and away from the girl. There he was, standing in front of the girl defensively. ‘Don’t you dare touch her, you filthy bastard!’ Damian shouted. Humans surrounding us gasp and some was anticipating a fight. ‘I dare not, brother.’ I said with an innocent tone. His expression is filled with vexation and anger as he heard me speak with such fake tone. ‘You know that is just a common courtesy. I am French, mon frère. I couldn’t help myself.’ I added. Damian grew red. His green eyes piercing at me with anger and he is about to burst in flames.

‘Damn you, Sebastian! Damn you!’ Damian spat in anger. It is going as I planned. ‘After all you have done to me you dare come here and face me! You dare touch my……’ Realization hit Damian, he instantly stops himself from continuing but it is already too late. The girl stared at the both of us with realization and Damian knew it was too late. ‘So, she doesn’t know, does she?’ I asked as though I was innocent and oblivion of the truth. Damian couldn’t look at her in the face, he knew that he could no longer do anything about it. And because of that, he could only spread his arms out protective and glare at me. ‘This doesn’t concern you, Sebastian! Leave!’ He said in an ordering tone. My blood instantly boiled and I felt the urge to punch him. He is now defenseless. His weak and stuck in a human body, he can do nothing about. I do not need to dirty myself for such weakling. ‘Leave? You call me to leave? Mon frère, with your current state of power, do you think you can make me leave? You’re weak and I am stronger now!’ I said as I stood up confidently and adjusted my clothing. ‘I am free to do as I will, Damian.’ I said with a proud tone. ‘Oh, and Damian, I know.’ I said just to add salt to his wound.

Damian grew red in anger and his body is shaking. I could feel his anger and I could not help but feel excited. He is going to jump right at me. He is going to use his power on me, which will kill everyone here. Just as he was about to take a step towards me, a delicate hand fell onto his shoulder. As though magic have come to save him, the atmosphere here, instantly turned calm. The girl whispered at him and his anger instantly disappeared. She blushed into beet root red and he smiled at her.

Anger grew within me. He could have all this. He could get all this. Why? Why can he still get all this after all he had done to me? After how he betrayed our other siblings, he could still have love, warmth and wealth. With this defeat, the hatred for him grew within me. I walked away without looking back at them. One day, I would make him pay!
