Love and Revenge

Chapter 15

Dirk's POV

I can't see a thing, everything is pitch black. I look around and all I see is an endless void of darkness. I try to speak but no words come out and my throat becomes sore. My legs and arms become so heavy that I find it hard to keep myself standing and soon I just collapse. My whole body is succumbed to feeling numb and it becomes hard to breathe. I feel my heart stop beating and I can feel something grab my wrist. After a few seconds everything stops and I'm able to pick myself up as I feel lighter than before. There's a blinding light in front of me and I start walking toward it. None of this makes any sense. I was just with Jake and then this happens. What the hell is happening by the way? Where am I? I continue to walk into the light hoping to find some answers. Perhaps this is an illusion.

I'm now fully immersed in the bright light and everything around me shifts into the throne room. I'm now even more confused. Nobody is in here, strange. I try and open the doors leading out into the foyer but I can't touch it, my hand just goes through it. Am I... dead? No. That can't be. I mean demons are dead well sort of. I can believe that since I am one but ghosts yeah, haha, no.

The doors suddenly burst open and a blonde haired boy and girl run into the throne, the boy chasing after the girl.

"Come on we shouldn't be in here!" The boy yells after the girl.

"It's fiiiine, it's not like they'll notice us."

Their images fade in and out and soon they just become black silhouettes.

I can hear a familiar voice coming from down the hall and I glance over seeing Bro stride over with an unfamiliar face. I look back to the boy and girl who are now hiding behind one of the pillars. I observe the troll next to Bro who looks... well to put it in the nicest terms... she looks like a total fucking stuck up bitch. But once they enter the room they too turn into silhouettes.

I walk over to where the children are and I can hear them talk in a whisper.

"Who's she?"

"I don't know, probably some powerful political person or whatever. She looks like a stuck up bitch."

The girl begins to giggle and the boy covers her mouth.

"What the hell is so funny? We could get caught if you don't shut up."

"I-I can't, I can't stop!" She whispers and continues to giggle.

The troll woman comes back into the room. She stands in the entrance of the hall way. The boy and the girl go silent. The troll women then suddenly whips her head toward the the children with glowing red and blue eyes. The girl yells at the boy to run as she pulls out a gun.

"Foolish girl." The troll lady says and grabs the girl by the neck. "Your brother said you were troublesome, so is the other one. I'll send someone for her as well." She snaps the girl's neck. She tosses the lifeless body across the room and I could faintly see the boy watching. His eyes are filled with tears and he runs off into the darkness.

A new image appears of two different blonde kids, a boy and a girl. They're younger than the last two. They're playing with simple toys when a deep rumbling sound comes from outside the room that they're in. The girl looks up and stares at the door intently. The boy then noticed her staring.

"What is there?" The boy asks.

"Shush David." The girl snaps at the boy.

The door then violently bursts open and a really big green skeleton fucker clunks in. The girl then stands up as does the boy. The girl grabs needles from the nearby desk and points them at the big guy. She launches a single spell at his chest which does nothing. The dude then hits her in the head with his cane and bashes her face in with it. The boy, shocked, runs to the other side of the room and ducks into a hole that's in the wall. The big green fuck just walks out like nothing happened. The older boy from earlier rushes into the room only to find the younger girl's body laying on now the blood soaked floor. The older boy sinks onto his knees then as if remembering something frantically looks around.

"Dave?!"

The younger boy crawls out of the hole and the older boy hugs the younger one. "Thank fuck you're okay."

"Dirk, is Rose okay?"

Memories from the past fill my head as Dave asks that question, it hadn't occurred to me about the name Dave, which means, that was Roxy and that... My head pounds as all the memories I tried to get rid of years ago come back flooding my head. If only I got there in time to save Rose, if only I hadn't let Roxy run into the throne room, they were my responsibility and they died. And now I also fully remember about that stupid red box. I remember that damn red box messing up my head and Bro let it all happen.

I see Bro pop in the room and he's just laughing holding that red box. I feel enraged by him and I throw a punch even though it just fazes right through him. I end up being jolted awake and I see Jake sitting next to me with tears streaming down his face, but he has a confused expression.

"Dirk? You're alive?"

"J-Jake?" I manage to say.

"Yes old chap it's me." I can see tears still running down his face.

I quickly get up and hug him hard.

"I'm sorry." I say starting to cry.

"For what, Dirk?"

"For leaving you... Jake I love you."

"I love you too Dirk." We hug it out for another minute until we start hearing screams. Not just any screams human screams, Jade...
