Shikon Tail

Chapter 21 -- Retribution

{Skye's POV}

"Chris?" I asked him.

He looked exactly like him only with longer hair, his usual demon wings, horns, his fingernails has turned into claws and his voice deeper and more gravelly.

He looked to the side, "So this is her." He said to no one, "I just need to get her out."

He raised his hand and struck down on the force-field. His hand bounced off with ease.

I sighed.

He growled, annoyed and angry, "Why the hell didn't it work?!" He yelled angrily.

A girl in a purple and black dress ran over and yelled at him, "It's a force-field you idiot! It's impenetrable!"

"Then how the hell do we-" He stopped for a second, "Hm? Fine..." He looked at her with a calmer expression, "How do we get in."

"Follow me!" She said, running away. He followed close behind her.

Seconds later I heard a few beeps and and turned around. The door outline appeared and seconds later, the girl and 'Chris' appeared. I flinched back from him.

He blinked and his blood-red eyes turned back to his usual brown.

"Skye..." He said, his voice was normal again.

"Chris?" I asked again.

He gave a small laugh, "Yeah..." He said calmly, "I'm just happy you're okay..."

My eyes widened as he pulled me into a hug. I saw him smile in relief.

"I am so happy that you're okay." He said again.

"Me too..." I replied, hugging him back.

{Glitch's POV}

They were hugging. I smiled in knowing.

He did like her; and she liked him back, she just didn't know it yet and neither did he.

I felt my smile fade as my mind flashed images of myself and Venn.

I felt tears come from my eyes. I put my hand to my forehead, trying to keep my emotions stable.

Then I heard a voice in my head.

Come on Glitch, It said, It's not fair that they can have love but you can't.

"You're right." I muttered.

Of course I am, It said again, No you know know exactly what to do.

"But I..."

Do it.

I felt something enter my mind. It was like an outer-body experience, and my body started moving on it's own.

I felt my hand transform into a sword. No... no no no...

{Chris' POV}

I noticed something with Glitch. I pulled myself away from the hug and stood up.

Her eyes looked as if she were in a trance, her arm was a sword.

"G-Glitch?" I asked.

"What's wrong Chris?" Skye asked.

"Get behind me." I told her. She followed the instructions immediately.

"Glitch..." I said again, moving towards her slightly.
