The Void Duelist

Chapter 20 - Darkness Rise

Aria's POV

I had to wait a good 20 minutes for the nurse to return. Jaden hadn't moved an inch. But when she did come she told me it wasn't much. Apparently he had been in a worse state. I couldn't imagine him being even worse than he already was.

"Just how much trouble can he get into." I sighed, as I walked down the corridor.

The nurse told me I could go, as she would take good care of Jaden. Even when I left he hadn't shown any signs of waking up.

"It's like he's a tree constantly surrounded my a lightning storm. He just keeps getting shot again and again... yet he still stands. Idiot."

I shouldn't be complaining about him... Chaz caused this. So did I. True I was the one who hurt him... But only because Chaz pissed me off. Multiple times. He deserves to feel pain too. I hate him... He deserves to feel pain!

I felt that dark feeling from my deck again. My vision started to darken.

"ARIA!!!"

Jaden's voice shot through my head. Telling me to concentrate on the light.

I'm sorry Jaden... But I shall not stand for him any longer! He needs to be stopped once and for all! He needs to feel all the pain he has caused.

I let the darkness surround me. My vision darkened so everything became a darker shade than what it was. Like that filter that shows photos in negative. I walked down the hall until I eventually ran into Chaz. He was smiling...with his friends... I could hear him gloating how, although he may have lost, left Jaden in 'one hell of a state' as he said. It only made me angrier.

I approached him.

"Oh look. Here's the runt." He spat at me.

I glared at him, which seemed to make him stumble back slightly. I guess my eyes had changed colour too. But I didn't dawdle on that. I just grabbed his collar and dragged him back down the corridor. Once secluded I threw him against the wall.

Must get revenge.

I let him fall to the floor before stamping my foot on his back, making him yelp in pain. He hadn't recovered from the last time I beat his ass either.

"That's right... Scream. Yell. Beg." I growled. "You will feel my pain!"

I kicked his stomach and then threw him again. He tumbled across the floor before skidding to a stop.

"Get up." I snarled.

"Why?" He choked.

"Because I wanna keep kicking you to the floor. Now up! Before I make you."

He attempted to stand again, but I kicked him over again. He gave a grunt of pain, which I smiled at. I sat on his back and just started slamming his face into the floor over and over.

Of course it wasn't that bad. Despite my darkened rage I was still only about 5 feet tall and a skinny shrimp. I couldn't do nearly as much damage as the darkness inside me wanted to.

He will feel the pain. Revenge must be served. I shall destroy all spirit he has.

...But Jaden... Maybe I should sto- No! I can't let him get away with this. But... Maybe this is taking it too far?

'He pushed Jaden to the point of blacking out in the last duel. He deserves no mercy.'

...That last thought wasn't mine. At least...not completely.

"Had enough yet, Prinston?" I barked.

"Get...off...me." He coughed.

I got off him and stood on his hand.
