Hellbound

Chapter Four

I paced back and forth trying to piece things together about what happened yesterday with that strange demon. There is nothing on record of a demon like that, I know it's not a demon general and it can't be a regular demon either. This is all so strange.

Daeda hasn't told me anything about any discoveries. The demon wants me, he is interested in me. He'll come after me I know that for sure. Maybe I just need to wait for him to attack instead falling into a trap. He might think it's a trap, but as stubborn as demons are it'll come for me anyways.

The ground rumbled, looks like it's coming sooner than I expected. I stopped pacing and walked up to the roof. I just realized that I always go to the roof to fight demons. I awaited and saw as the demon approached me. It fixed its white shoulder pads and looked me in the eyes.

"Hello human" it said. "I know you were expecting me today. Do you think you can defeat me?"

"From what I see it'll be difficult" I said. "But I'll try and probably win in the end. But what are you? You are faster and stronger than a regular demon, and you aren't a demon general."

"Glad you asked because I was going to tell you" it said sarcastically and it blasted me to the ground. It grabbed my throat and lifted me in the air and grinned. I looked into its eyes and saw the truth of what it was. It threw me back to the ground and kicked me a couple feet back. I felt my body aching and managed to stand up.

"I see what you are now" I told it. "You are no demon, or at least your not a full demon. There is more to you than meets the eye. You are an angel."

"Interesting" he interrupted. "Do continue."

"I looked into your eyes and saw something" I continued. "You are part demon and part angel. When I looked inside of you I saw a small dying light in the distance. What happened to you?"

"My name is Kal" he told me. Guess he decided to tell me after I pretty much figured it out. "I was an angel before, the best of the best. My father is Michael the Archangel. But one day Abaddon, a demon general, corrupted my body and soul. I transformed into a demon but the angel part was still present, granting me immeasurable power."

"Why tell me all of this?"

"You practically figured it out" Kal said. "Might as well. Don't think I want you to still feel sorry for me, because I don't."

"Why kill Angels if you were once one of their best?" I asked.

"Revenge" Kal began. "Instead of helping me, they abandoned me to that monster. So now I want revenge and taking their spirit and sending it to Hell to suffer will do."

"Your the real monster here Kal" I told him. "And I'm taking you out for good." He laughed and charged for me. I drew my infamous dagger and ran to Kal as well. Kal tackled me onto the floor and choked me. I struggled to breathe and he applied more and more pressure onto my skin.

He covered my mouth so I wouldn't say a spell, looks like he's been watching me. He brought his face closer to mine and whispered. "Tpurroc sih lous" he said a spell to corrupt my soul. I felt my insides burning and churning as my body started to heat up.

I kicked him off and Kal fell back. He stood up tall and cleaned dust off his skin. He walked closer to me as I yelled in pain. My soul was turning dark, and for a human that's a painful thing to happen.

Kal grabbed my shoulders and lifted me up again. "How does it feel?" He mocked. "Painful right. You already have darkness inside you so it's not that painful. But for someone who's soul was pure light to get ripped up, is even more painful. That's why I want revenge, that's why I want my former brethren to feel the same thing I felt as they didn't fight for my safety."

"You bastard" I yelled. I stabbed his chest and he dropped me. I tackled him and stabbed him repeatedly. I yelled in anger and plunged my blade deeper and deeper and I enjoyed watching him yell.

I jumped back. "What am I doing?" I looked at my self and didn't recognize who I was looking at.

"It's your soul human" Kal said. "You are slowly and slowly becoming evil and you're showing it. Have fun slaughtering innocents with the evil spirit you are obtaining." He shot an energy blast at my chest and I flew back a few meters.

My body hurt from both the blast and the burning of my soul. I stood and Kal punched my gut and kicked me back. As I flew back he grabbed my throat and slammed me onto the floor.

"Maybe I shall just kill you instead, or drag you to Hell with me" he said.

"I've lived in Hell for ten years of my life, I will not go back!" I yelled. "Tsalb fo erif!" I blasted fire to him and he flew back. "Tsalb fo thgil!" I blasted him with a bolt of light. He yelled in pain.

"You are stronger than I expected" Kal said. "This fight is not over human. See you soon Mason!" He teleported away.
