✔️Quest for love (Afterdeath)

[CH - 14] Unexpected

Geno's POV

Hate welled up inside of me. After so many weeks, he finally decided to mess with me. What is wrong with the guys himself? He has a terrible sense of fashion, bad puns and always wants to be the boss of everything.

"Hello there, little red riding hood~" Swapfell smiled as he looked at me pitifully as I was on the ground.

"What do YOU want?" I said with venom clear in my voice.

"Finding ways to get rid of you and your puny friends!" Swapfell giggled evilly.

"Don't you dare hurt him Swapfell!" Dust said, standing in front of me to defend me from him.

"Oh! So you are betraying me for that pathetic use of a friend. You know that I'll be your best friend..." Dust paused for a second before replying.

"Never Swapfell, you used me to do your own dirty needs. You took advantage of my split personality and you used me. Did you know how I felt? Did you even consider thinking me as a normal friend!" Dust shouted as he was on the verge of tears.

"No no. I was not using you. That person behind whom you call a friend is using you for his stupid prophecy. I made a promise that I will help you with your personal life," Swapfell looked at him innocently while I was in utter shock.

"Wait, how did you know about the prophecy! And no, I don't use people to complete the prophecy. I don't even choose the people who are going to be in it and Dust just happened to be a part of this!" I shouted as Dust took his glasses off without anyone knowing. I knew Murder was now in control but what was going to happen next was unexpected. He immediately summoned a knife and held it at Swapfell's throat..........in front of the whole school. Everyone turned around as they stood metres away from what was happening.

"You have tricked me, into playing your stupid little game, and you expect me to be fooled again!" Murder was in complete rage as he took a step back.

"Whatever. I don't need you. Why don't you go on your adventure with the determined freak back there~" Swapfell snarled at Murder. That completely made Murder break and he threw himself at Swapfell with the knife in his hand. Before I could let any bloodshed happen, I used blue magic on both and held them both in the air. All the students were already shocked to see supernatural powers. I quickly teleported Dust and myself away, making Swapfell fall to the ground.

We appeared in an empty class and I slowly placed down Murder down as he put on his glasses.

"I'm so sorry G-Geno. I-I messed everything up. I c-can't even handle my p-personal life!"

"That is alright. But if it alright with you, what is going on with your personal life?" I asked as calmly as possible.

"W-well, I am an orphan and I lived on the streets for several years. My mother died when I was 10 and my father left us when we were very young. My brother died of an infection while we were on the streets and I was always heart broken then. That was when I developed my spilt personality. To separate myself from my anger and broken side to my kind and peaceful one. The neighbours in the apartment complex took me in and they helped me up until now. I've been working random shifts throughout the night and one day, I was completely broken from all of the stress. That was when I met Swapfell; he agreed with me that he will help me relieve myself from this stress but he used me for his own needs... I'm sorry. I am rambling too much..."

The emotions hit me like a bullet train. I felt waves of sorrow, sadness, hate and anger. Dust has been through so much worse and Swapfell used that as a tactic. With a brotherly instinct, I gave Dust a warm hug as tears flowed from his eyes.
