Chapter 12: Fear

Delsin, read, now.

He was back, Deadgate was back. He was, my dark side. I have no clue where he came from, no one does. But he's dangerous. He craves power. He appeared around 15 years ago, the day I met belle would be the anniversary. We started walking back, the new guy, who I learnt was called Percy, was a mess. I kept my swords by my sides, blood dripping from them. There were still a few creatures left and I dispatched them with pleasure. I caught myself. "Dispatched with pleasure"? Since when did I talk like that? Since when did I talk like him? Suddenly a memory of when I first met him flashed through my mind, and I fell down in agony.

Flashback

I hadn't met Dan and Tasha yet, but I was growing into my powers. They were manifesting in strange ways. I was walking in a street in Egypt when I heard a crash from a nearby alley draw my attention. There was a flash of bright red and I turned the corner. He stood there, his red and grey wings spread out. "That was a rough landing~" He was just standing there. He had a black tailed jacket on with a white button up shirt, a red bow tie and plain black pants. "Agh, why am I in this shoddy regalia?" He ripped the tie off and shortened the jackets tails to the point where it was just a blazer. "That's better. Now, Delsin. If you could stop trying to run, I want to talk to you." I froze in place. He didn't even see me, and he knows my name. "Who are you?" Was my first action. "Just call me Deadgate~" His voice had a odd, silky quality. But there was also a hard steel to it. Like he was dangerous. "How do you know my name?"

"Well, I know you. So I know you're name." He walked over and looked at me. "Me and you both have such good looks~" I tried to swing at him but he grabbed my fist and looked into my eyes. I noticed he had pitch black hair and red eyes. He hadnt used me to escape death yet, so we looked completely different. I tried to hit him with my other fist but my entire body froze. He let go and held my chin. "We do look rather amazing don't we?" I saw what he was doing. "Sorry dude, I'm straight." He laughed. "Oh I know that. But I'm not homosexual. I love both~" Something about him was, off. Not the fact that he liked both, I'm not biast. "Why do I care?" His smile darkened. "Straight to business eh? Fine. I'm here to end everything, and I want you're help." I jumped back. "To end everything!? You mean you want to destroy the world!?"

"Not destroy. Just, play with," "Why would I help you!?" He smiled. "Because me and you are one and the same~ I know what you are. I'm the same. I'm here to teach you how to use you're powers." He had a grin like the devil. Not that I'd met the devil, but still. "No! Get off! You're just another demon!" I shook him off and ran into the alleys. I didn't notice the orange lightning crackling from my hands.

Present

Belle was standing over me with worry etched on her face. "Are you ok?" I nodded and got up. There was a small wisp of white coming off of her back, but I ignored it. She was part demon, the anatomy was, unpredictable, to say the least. All I felt towards Gate was hate. No one noticed that my eyes had a red glow.
