Hellbound

Chapter Five

I told Daeda about my discoveries about Kal the half angel half demon creature. Daeda was as surprised as I was when I figured that out. He said it was one of the most rarest things to ever happen. He told me a story of how it happened before centuries ago to Lucifer Morningstar, the Devil.

Today I was hunting Kal but couldn't find him, I can't even sense his presence in this city anymore. Maybe he went to Hell to gain his energy back. My soul however remains burning, sometimes the pain will stop but then come back out of no where stronger that before. I asked Daeda if I can purify my soul again, he said it has never been done before.

I was currently walking in the streets trying to clear my mind and think about things. My soul burning, Kal, and the huge portal letting out thousands of demons. Sometimes I'd see a small demon running around, their not a threat but it's still unnerving to see them.

Angels however I rarely see, they usually stick to sky to survey the area. Last time I came across an angel they were beating on me. Suddenly I heard a woman screaming and turned the alley way to see her getting beat by a 6 foot man. I ran towards them.

"Hey hands off of her!" I yelled. I pushed him off and he pushed me against the wall.

"This isn't your fucking business man so stay at your damn side!" He cussed at me. I felt my soul burn more and more and I got angry. I tackled the man on the floor and punched him repeatedly. He yelled in pain and I felt blood on my hands and saw the mans bruised and swollen face.

I turned and the woman looked at me like I was a monster. She stood up from the ground and ran away yelling in fear. I looked at the man once more and his jaw was dislocated and both eyes were massively swollen.

I got off of him and looked at a glass shard on the floor. My hair was on fire and my eyes glowed red. I jumped back i fear. "What's happening to me?"

I felt my soul burning even more than before. I yelled in pain as my body got on fire. I looked at my hands and saw my skin turning blood red and my nails long and black. Suddenly everything changed back normal. My skin became white once more, the flames turned back into hair and my eyes became brown again. What the Hell is happening?

I know the spell Kal casted on me was powerful but I didn't think it would be this effective against me. He is more powerful than I anticipated. Daeda teleported in front of me and rushed to my aid.

"Mason are you okay?" He said to me. "I felt your soul, for a few seconds it became completely dark. What happened?"

"I got angry" I began. "Beat this abusive guy to a pulp and then my body got on fire and my skin turned red. Daeda, am I becoming a demon?"

"I don't know" he said. "But how? Anger doesn't make your soul dark. What happened to you before all this?"

"It was Kal" I told him. "He casted a spell on me to turn my soul dark. I thought it would be temporary so I didn't tell you. His spell is more powerful than I anticipated."

"Looks like we really need to find a way to find out how to help you" Daeda said. "I'll see what I can concoct down in Hell. Maybe I can make the spell weaker than it is. I'm not sure I can completely eradicate it though."

"Do what you can Daeda" I said. "I'm fine here, trust me." He said okay and teleported back into Hell. I regained my strength and stood up straight. I felt a surge of power and turned to see Kal standing in front of me.

"I'm gone for a day" he began. "And you turn to a demon for a few moments. Looks like my spell is having some powerful effects on you. You cannot fight the urge to kill, and once you do you'll change into a demon forever." He laughed.

I swung my fist at his face and punched him. He laughed once more and punched my gut extremely hard and slammed my head against the wall. My head stung and my body ached.

"You... Motherfu..." I said. He grabbed my throat and raised me up.

"Not a word from you" he said and held my mouth shut. He repeatedly kneed my stomach and felt blood rise up my throat. He let go and I spat out a lot of blood. He dropped me and kicked me against the wall once more.

"Your such a fool Mason" he mocked. "You have no idea what I can do now. With the portal that has been opened up demons will be sprouting out. These demons will all be in my command soon and I'll have an army under my rule to take over this city."

"You will not Kal!" I yelled. I stood up and tackled him. He kicked me off and banged my head against the wall. I got dizzy and he elbowed my jaw.

"I have plans for you" Kal said. "I know our battles always end with me leaving but I don't mean to kill you yet that's why. Excuse me I must attend to different matters now." He too teleported away.

I sat on the floor besides the man that I beat to a pulp. The thought of me turning into a demon is a lot to take in. I spent most of my life hunting these things down after what they did to my mother and soon I will become one.
