Dying In The Darkness [ElesisxAdd]

>Are You Paranoid?<

Add P.O.V
"Come on Elesis, Please tell me what did I do?" I plead as I walk beside her. She looks at me eyes filled with ice. She grabs my jacket collar and pulls me close aggressively, she kisses my neck hard.
"You did that." She spits, pushing me away. I feel my cheeks grow slightly warm. I shake my head.

I shouldn't be blushing.
"I'm... sorry Elesis, I don't know what came over me, it's hard to explain" I look away hoping she'll maybe understand
She looks at me, not with anger anymore, more curiously.
"I just want an explanation later. Got it?" Elesis says, as she slows her pace to walk beside me again.
"I understand." I reply
"Okay, that's for later but now..." She says glaring up to Feita Tower looming over us. "...The mobs are coming from this tower right? If we destroy it we can end the demons." Elesis says, piercing lust for vengeance back in her eyes.

As we walk up through the towers hallways and the rubble of stairs the feeling of unease grows with every step. I look to Elesis I can tell she notices it too, but we say nothing.
The temple seems to be empty, maybe the demons have pulled back because of Elesis' attack?
or something else?
Suddenly the walkway comes to an end, falling away many feet below us. We stop and gaze down at the pitfall, a sea of glitter demons stare up at us, eyes glowing red. There must be at least a hundred, but being so far below us they serve no threat at the moment.

The walkway hasn't been destroyed completely, edges are still here so we carefully make our way past and over the pit of demons.
Once we've reached the other end of the broken hallway the Dark El energy is so thick it's almost suffocating. There's one more flight of stairs till we reach the top of Feita tower. We stumble and drag ourselves up the stone steps. Once on the top stairs we see him, The Great Demon Commander Berthe.

He's titanic dark wolf like demon, roaring at the top of his lungs when he lays, white with rage, eyes on us. I cover my ears. The Dark El energy is even stronger here. my head is pounding, I feel it digging away at the back of my mind, It wants to fight, it wants to kill. My insanity is going to come back.

I glance at Elesis, I can see the Dark El is affecting her too. her hands are shaking and pale. She stands frozen staring at Berthe.

"He's too strong...we can't do it...we're gonna die...die....die-" She whispers under her breath the light fading from her eyes.

I reach over and take Elesis' sweaty cold hand in my own.

"No, we can do it, for the knights, come on, he's nothing." I squeeze her hand as i say this. I know we can beat him, it's just a matter of time and strategy.

Berthe starts moving our way still roaring with madness.
"I choose not to close this gateway. The time has come. Witness this! This world will be ruled by demons! you weak humans will not get in the way" Berthe growls.
There's a Dark Gateway's open mouth swirling behind him, Berthe must be keeping it open with all his Dark El, meaning if we defeat him...
Elesis and I break hands as we break into runs, circling him to attack from both sides at the same time.

"Moonlight Rhapsody" I whisper to my Dynamos, This skill will destroy Berthes mind, but this might help or hurt us, he'll become more reckless. When the skill hits him he starts clawing at his own head, scratching away at his flesh and yowling even more. Elesis taking this opening. surrounding her claymore in dark energy and her own blood, rushes forward, rotating quickly, slashing Berthes chest repeatedly. He stumbles back roaring, good this is going well, but with every second I can feel my sanity slipping. Berthe pulls his claws away from his now scratched and blood dripping head. He turns to me and howls, a great blast of icy cold Dark El shoots through me, I feel like my organs are turning to ice, I clutch at my chest falling to my knees. The ice is in my lungs now I cough and gasp for air but with every second it gets harder to breathe. I taste the salt of blood in my mouth. Berthe is towering above me now. I try moving but my bones are frozen as well. Berthe raises his claw ready to attack. "Add get out of the way!" Elesis yells.
Shit, come on, move!
I'm panicking, this can't be my end not like this!
I feel the darkness of insanity seeping into my eyes. as a grin forms at the edges of my mouth."Pathetic.... You're so pathetic" A voice whispers to me from inside my head, as I blackout.


The darkness lifts from my eyes and I can see again. but I also feel as well. The pain hits me hard, my lungs burn, my bones ache and scream, I feel the cold air touch my open flesh. I cough a mouthful of blood up and watch it splatter to the already blood drenched shrine floor. I look up into Elesis' amber eyes full of tears. She's holding both my hands in her shaking ones.
"Add? Are you back?" She whispers there's blood dripping from her mouth as well.
It takes me a second to find my own voice.
"Yeah.... it's me..." I murmur to her through teeth gritted in pain. She wraps her arms around me and holds me painfully tight.
"I was scared you weren't going to come back..." She whispers into my ear. That's when I see Berhes lying lifeless covered in a coat of blood as well, his flesh ripped and gaping. Bones piercing through his skin, broken and mangled, eyes staring white and dead into mine.
Dear god, did I do that?
oh right, of course I did.
