Fuck. I have a couple specs of blood on my pants. It’s so hard to wash out blood once it gets caked in, and I like these pants.
There was a group of drunk guys starting a fight with some random pedestrians. The guys didn’t listen when I told them to back off. Then, one of them tried to see if I was pretty under my scarf. I don’t think I hurt him too badly.
I’m annoyed now. I need someone new to take my anger out on.
Across the city, I feel a woman calling to me. It’s louder than any call I’ve ever heard, it’s like it’s echoing in my head, being focused on my being. She needs me, and so I run to her.
I find her in a dark alley with a man hovering over her body. She’s alive, I can feel her. She’s scared and angry and hurting. Her body has been torn open, leaving a hole in her abdomen. His hand is inside her, fishing around, violating her. He pulls out an organ, her pancreas, and he takes a bite out of it.
I’m horrified, forced to hold back by vomit. I want to run and pretend that I never saw any of this. I want this to have never happened.
He turns to me and smiles. “Do you want some?” he asks. He seems to know me.
I don’t know what to do or say. I’ve never seen anything like this before. I have to stop him. “Stop that,” I say. “Leave her alone.”
“But she’s so tasty,” he says. “Are you sure you don’t want just a little bite?”
It’s hard to focus on the fire through my disgust. But I close my eyes and tune out the sadness and the weakness. I need to find rage at what’s been done. With rage comes power.
I run up to him, tear him away from the woman, and throw him as far as I can.
He lands perfectly, unfazed by my attack. It’s in that moment that I fully recognize that I’m fighting another demon.
“Are you really going to fight me over a little human, Kali? I can feel you. You’re weak. I can help you become strong.”
He seems to know who I am. I want to have the answers, but the man in front of me disgusts me. I don’t want to be anything like him. I don’t trust him. He’s a monster.
I look at his victim and I run at him, determined to stop him.
I punch and I kick and I hit him with everything I have, but it doesn’t make a difference. He’s stronger than me.
He knocks me to the ground and pins me down. I struggle to get him off of him, but I can’t overpower him.
“Has Mike taught you anything about what you are?” he asks. He’s looking straight into my eyes. I try to look away. “There are two forces in the universe. There’s order and there’s chaos. The angels are the force that wants to rebuild the universe to what it once was, and we’re the force that has to tear it all down. You’re destruction. Until you embrace that, you will never be able to stop me.”
He’s wrong. I can’t let him be right. But, at the same time, I can feel the fire. I know what it wants. It wants to destroy everything, and I want to destroy him, so I let it out. A wave of energy leaves my body and he is thrown off of me.
I stand up and I start to run.
“You can’t target the fire,” he calls out after me. “If you want to use it against me, you have to be prepared to destroy everything you touch.”
I pick up the woman’s body and keep running.
