Dunkim

New Generation: Chapter 16

Edna's POV

I walked along a dark forest pathway in the dead of night, the only sound that I could hear was the rustling of the leaves in the breeze. The sky was being blocked out by cloud, making the only light the small spark of fire I had made in my hand. I saw light up ahead and ran towards it, causing the flame in my hand to go out.

I found the source of the light, it was a campfire. I looked around and saw a tent not too far away from the fire. It was a simple brown-grey tent but I recognized the camo backpack that was sitting in front of it. The bag belonged to Mac. I pushed open the tent flap to find the tent completely empty.. I lit a small flame in my hand and saw blood spattered on the sides of the tent.

"Oh Notch! Oh Notch! Please let this be fake!" I cried, the flame sputtering out in my panic. I feel to my knees, not caring about the blood that came out. My hurt suddenly turned to anger, a lot of anger. I got off of my knees, still ignoring the small trickles of blood that were dripping down my legs. Someone did this to him, and I was going to find them and kill them.

I backed out of the tent and flew up into the night sky, my skin glowing as if it were a blazing fire. I flew up and red light exploded off of me, lighting up the entire forest. The sun started to rise as I hovered, balls of fire surrounding me.

I saw Kim, Duncan, Olivia, and Alex walking below. I wasn't thinking straight, my mind was foggy. without knowing what I was doing I took a ball of flames out of the air next to me and threw it at the group. Olivia jumped in front of it's path, protecting her new family. As I saw the burns on her my mind started to clear, then I saw blood and my mind was taken over again.

I threw more fire at the group until I had hit all of them but Alex. I stared down at her, she was visibly trembling, but other than that she was frozen with fear. I was about to throw another ball of flames at her but saw Rythian, Zoey, Evly, and Ash come from the bushes. Rythian flew up to me and my mind cleared again. My wings faltered, causing me to dip down then fly back up. I tried to keep my mind clear, I couldn't attack Rythian. But I wanted to. I needed to.

No!

YES!

You want this. You want to kill Rythian, you don't care about him and he doesn't care about you. He helped kill Mac. A strong voice inside my head said, the voice soft and convincing. I raised a hand, ready to finish him but I heard a tiny voice inside the back of my mind. No, this isn't you! You wouldn't, you couldn't!

The little voice almost won, but I was overpowered by a sudden thirst for blood. I attacked them mercilessly, not caring what got hit.

Others came and were also attacked, no one was absent. A tiny part of me key saying this was wrong, but I pushed it away, too determined.

Finally, every lay on the ground, dead. My blaze of evil diminished and sparked out. I finally saw the blood, my friends. I floated down to the ground where I sat on my knees.

"What've I done?" I breathed, looking all around at the wreckage. I'm a monster, I need to be contained, or stopped. I flew up and searched until I found it, enchanted water. I took a deep breath before pouring it all over my body. Holes started to form in my wings, my skin burning off. I screamed in agony as it killed me until finally, I was dead.
