Eleven

Rin Okumura didn't know if you needed saving after he heard your screams ceased. Knowing the cold blood curdling screams you let out before and seeing a bunch of blue light illuminating from a spot in the forest, that could only mean one thing in his head: you had fallen unconscious. 

This motivated the son of Satan more as his pace quickened up and his facial expression darkened. The only sounds that could lead him to where you were was the sound of loud impacts on the earth and the sounds of sparks like from a fire or electricity. 

Once he got to the place, he shouted, "[Y/N]!" but you were nowhere to be seen. The corpse of a lightening cage with a broken wall lay on the ground untouched by anybody. You were gone, and he couldn't see her.

"Okumura, get out of the way!" Your voice shouted towards him.

The Demon boy jumped out of the way as you plunged your fist into an unknown person's stomach. It was a girl with charcoal black hair with a chestnut tint to it, porcelain skin, a crooked nose, and her eyes weren't seen by Rin as they were shut. 

The first thought that ran through his mind was that you had snapped and the Demon was controlling you just like he had gone through when his blade got chipped. The girl laying limp on the ground marked with burns, cuts, scratches, bruises, and blood seemed lifeless if it wasn't for the three words she spoke.

"Join or die!" The girl made out.

"I know what you're going to say, [Y/N], so don't bother faking it!" The voice of Claudia emerged from the fog that was created on its own.

Rin put a defending hand in front of you almost like he wanted you to get behind it. "Get behind me, [Y/N]!"

You looked over at Rin. Was he going to protect you from your cousin? He drew his sword ready to fight Claudia. You had never seen him with his blue flames before, and honestly, you were a little scared. 

Granted, anyone in this situation would be scared. You were supposed to join a cause you didn't think was right or die as a resignation.

"Rin, don't." You whispered to him.

He turned to you his eyes asking you what you were going to do. He already knew what you were planning, but he had to make sure of it. You just shook your head at him. You didn't want him to protect you if someone came here to kill you. You couldn't get anyone hurt if it was all you.

"Rin, let me handle it!" You exclaimed.

Rin Okumura watched as you took your sword still in its sheath. You had never taken it out, and you weren't going to start now. Claudia's mouth turned upward into a sneer. You closed your eyes picturing what you had to do. 

Defeat Claudia and rid her of her lightning once and for all. Your imagining changed the picture to the event that killed your family. Blood everywhere. Their sad, scared, lifeless faces. He was the only one alive.

"Why did you kill us? Why would you kill your own family? It doesn't make any sense! Why us? What did we every do to you?!?" He fell limped to the ground.

You opened up your eyes, and Claudia could see the monster behind them. This didn't terrify her like you wanted it to. You wanted to intimidate the person in front of you, but it looked like you were failing. 

"As long as you're here, there isn't a person in the world who would want to save you. As long as Zeus has an offspring, a Hades demon is the weakest of them all. A mutt like you is hard to come by. So," Claudia smirked, "let's have some fun with this." 

Claudia charged at you wielding her celestial bronze kitanna like it wasn't ridiculously heavy. You jumped out of the way only to be met with a bolt of lightning zapping you in the leg. A burn spiraled down your leg.
