When Winter Calls

Chapter 8: The Monster Inside

   After healing Agron I looked back at the demon that took over my mother. This was the thing that Agron was so scared of. A lot of things where running through my mind, but one thing was for sure, in order to get Spri…no, in order to get  my mother back I had to bring her close to death. I remember thinking to myself, I'm sorry mom, but this is the only way I can save everyone, please forgive me. Something must of heard me. Spring let out an evil laugh, and charged at me.

   Her magic was no longer a warm white light, but a red smoke. The smoke was pouring out of her eyes and mouth. Her eyes now a black and red color (red instead of where white should , and black irises), and her teeth like a sharks. This wouldn't be easy, but I had to try.

    Spring was about to use my style of fighting, hand to hand combat. She was like a wild animal. Her attacks where wild and all over the place, easy to dodge, but there where a lot of them. I used most of my healing magic on Agron, so I couldn't regain stamina as easily, but I still had a lot left in me. As I dodged her attacks I noticed a pattern. She swung at me with her left hand first one time, her right two, and then start over. After the third time did this pattern, she would either launch at me, try to land a kick, or spit red smoke at me, based on what it did to the ground (imagine), I didn't want to get hit by it. All of her attacks stayed in this pattern until one of us gave out.

   She underestimated my speed and stamina, and was out of it quicker then I expected, but I was almost done for too, and I had no idea what I should use against her. I kept thinking of what to do, when a voice popped into my head. It wasn't Agron's, it was a female voice. I had to choice but to respond.

  "Who is this" I thought angrily, as I did think it was the demon possessing my mother.
"Silly girl, I'm not her demon" I heard it say back. At this point I was confused, I don't remember having anything evil in me other then hate, but I gave most of my hate to Agron, so what could it be? Then I remembered something I heard in a dream one time.

  I started off my dream by watching myself talk to my mom in the kitchen. The ME I was watching was a little girl, and my mother looked so young. They where joking around, my mother was talking about her past, and, I was talking about what I wanted to do once I grow up, then there was bang. All of the sudden they stopped talking, their happy faces turned to something along the lines of scared, angry, and confused, but not at the loud noise, but at me, the one watching them. I soon realized it wasn't me who they where looking at, but the door behind me. Soon their expressions turn from all the things I listed, to a creepy smile, and then they pointed at the door. I started to hear whispering. At first I couldn't make out what the voices where saying, but after listening closely, I could make put words. They said things like:"Even angels have their wicked ways", "Even the best of people have demons", and the one that scared me the most, and the last thing I heard was "We will never truly be ourselves until we unleash the darkness and kill the soft heart we one knew". That was it, the dream ended, the sin was barely coming up over the horizon, and my mother was up, she had a similar dream, but with her and dad. I guess that's what the demon wanted, to be unleashed.

"I got your point the first time you showed up" I told it "But I will never let you take control of my life!"
"You misunderstand" it said playfully "I do not wish to take control your life, but if you die I die, and you will against that demon, so do we have a deal Autumn?" What ever this thing inside me was, it was not anything close to good, but I really didn't have a choice, in this world, it's kill, or be killed, and we both knew that. I was an idiot thinking I could trust this thing, but I went with the deal anyway. "Fine" I said "We have a deal" and everything went black, with the distant sound of laughter somewhere.

  My body was under control, but I was aware of everything that was happening, the demon was had control of my body. There was amber smoke everywhere, but it was easy to breathe. There was someone else there, and I was ready to fight. "There really is no need to be so frantic, I'm not gonna hurt you." It was a female around my age. She has small purple and black bat wings, a black tail with a heart shape at the end of it, she wore a dress that looked a lot like mine, it showed a little more and it was strapless, but the color and design was spot on, her eyes freaked me out though, they where the same color as mine and seemed to glow in the darkness of this place, the seemed warm, but also deadly. It's hard to describe the feeling of someone who seems like their about to kill you, and save your life at the same time.
"Who are you, and why am I not in control anymore?" I was freaked the fuck out to say the least, but she answered calmly, and did not hesitate.
"I'm sorry for being so rude to not introduce myself." she started "My name is flare, and I'm your demon. You gave me control of your body for me to kill you mother, a…" "WHAT THE HELL?!?!?" I interrupted "I NEVER GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO KILL MY MOTHER!" She seemed shock but only laughed, and said "Oh dear, then I must take my dear mother's life" she sounded excited "please say yes!"
I did not hesitate to answer. "Yes, but try not to kill my mother in the process please, and with that she vanished.

This part was awesome (I always say that). I really hope you guys like the idea of having a demon, well two actually,  as part of the story. They help big time later on in the story. I can't wait for chapter 9! And as always ttygitnc, PEACE AND LOVE FOR ALL
