Dying In The Darkness [ElesisxAdd]

>Blood Cutter<

Elesis P.O.V

I wake to the sound of Add sobbing. I feel him next to me shaking with tears. I slowly sit up and reach through the dim light and find his hand. He stops crying almost immediately.
"Hey what's wrong." I whisper, I can hardly see his face in the darkness of late night, early morning, but I make out his trembling lips and damp eyes.
I lean over and wipe his tears away.
"What's up, did you see a ghost again" I joke. hoping this might cheer him up.
Add says nothing.
" I'm sorry...I shouldn't be joking around. " I sense this is more serious.
"Was it a nightmare? I thought you said you were used to them..." I mumble.
I feel him sigh, he turns away.
"I lied..." I hear a slight painful laugh run from his lips.
"But it helps that I'm not alone anymore." He says squeezing my ice cold hand.

I haven't been sleeping well myself. I stay awake for the rest of the night replaying the bits of memories of the past I have, long after Add falls back to sleep.
Many nights pass like this.
I've become extremely restless from just waiting around for weeks, so when Add can finally walk again i'm beyond over joyed. I run thru the streets of Velder laughing, pulling Add behind me. We make our way into the heart of Velder where the demons are the thickest. I let go of Adds hand as i hurl myself full force into a group of Glitter Demons. I cut limbs and spill guts, covering my hands and arms with their blood.
"Having fun?" Add says as he walks behind me.
"Yesss!" I laugh and skip as I twirl my claymore on my wrist, drops of blood flying thru the air. Add wipes a bit of blood from his cheek and sighs. We continue to walk thru the allyways seeing corpses every now and again.
I start to feel sick, hatred building up inside me even more. I break into a run again, I need to kill, destroy the demons, they need to pay for what they've done!
I bolt out of the alley into a square, littered with fresh bodies of both demon and men.
I see a small party of knights cowering away from a towering Glitter Demon with a sinewy build, but great arms that, as I watch in horror smash the nearest knight to him. The knight's cry hangs in the air for many slow seconds than the rest of the party scatter. As they run from the glitter Hound. I charge to the demon and swing my sword with everything I have.
I hear his right arm crash to the stone road behind me, I grin as I sevor his left arm in another rushing quick attack. He howls in pain than anger. Roaring he gallops toward me eyes blazing from behind his heavy armor.
I ready my stance, gathering as much blood and Dark El as I can. the Glitter Hound is right before me now, I bring the blade up, spinning it in my fingers, than releasing it, a second claymore of darkness whirls forward slicing the Glitter Hound in two.
He shakes the ground as he falls.
I stand over him, staring down, I feel my eyes begin to glaze my head feels so light, the sky starts to spin as I fall backwards. but I don't hit the ground, instead I feel strong arms catch me. When my vision comes back into focus I see its Add. He helps me to my feet.
That's when I notice the small party of knights are surrounding us. Looking at me in awe. One of them steps forward, head bowed.
"Thank so very much, great knight, You saved me and my men's lives, your power is truly amazing, My name is Penensio, Chief of Velders Red Knights. " The Captain stammers while staring at the destroyed Glitter Demon.
"There is no need for thanks, it's only important that there were no more casualties" I reply as I wipe my claymore of blood. I take Adds sleeve and turn around to go.
"Wait! please, you're a fearsome knight! I've never seen anyone like you. We need someone of your ability. Would you... could you lead the Velder Knights? With a power like yours we could demolish the demons in a matter of days. Think about it! We would be unstoppable with you"
Suddenly I get a flood of memories, but they're even more vivid this time.
Bodies
So many dead bodies.
there faces and wounds icy clear in my memory.
There's so much blood. The color is so bright burning into my eyes, drowning me with its hard iron smell. I feel my stomach knot, I turn away from the knights and puke. The taste of vomit shuts out The memories the stone street comes back into focus. I feel Adds hand on my back trying to soothe me. As my own hands shake uncontrollably.
