Cold As Ice

Chapter: 15 Bastard

I'm dreaming, I'm in...water? No. Deep dark black water. It feels...lonely. I wake up, in the tent Aren and I slept in except...no one was there, the cave is very deep, "You don't show emotions anymore" Rea said, breaking my train of thought "Hmm" I hummed and stared at her blankly "Zay" I didn't say anything, just walked past her and followed John, Iris by me "Get over it, he's gone, he'll never come back" Iris said, I ignored her and continued walking for hours on end.

Finally, we were at the end of the cave, not exactly how I thought it would be, spider webs lay among the walls, slugs, and cockroaches crawling on the ground and on some of us "Look up!" someone screamed, I look up and see water droplets...No, acid, a demon throws up acid on my face, it eats it all, but quickly I regain my flesh, my hair grows to the floor and my nails grow an inch longer, I growl at the demon, this time it's on the ground, the others are fighting. "Hello...Zay" The demon sings "Hello...Bastard" I smile "That's my girl," He says, I take a few steps "No" I scream "Yes" He laughs "You're supposed to be dead" I stutter,  "Well, the experiment did go wrong... But somehow it gave me power"  I'm acting, I know he's my Father, but I also know that he killed Aren "Well hello, Father" I giggle, sending shards of ice to his neck, face,  and body, he darts away "You missed!" He Sings, he sends acid to my face once more, temporarily blinding me, I jump on him piercing his throat with my nails, making it block the air "Haha, I don't breathe honey" He grins, he moves away from me, stepping back a few times, giving  me a clear view of him, his clothes are torn, his hair is messy long, no nails. I create a sword and cut his limbs off, he screams, giving me shivers, I love it, torturing bad people, it's so pretty, blood gushing out of his limbs creating puddles of dark red blood, the puddles of blood moving along the cracks in the ground "Ah, you made art on the floor, pretty isn't it" I look him in the eyes "You're a devil" He spits "Really" I say sarcastically, before he could say anything I cut his head off, and continue cutting him till there's  nothing but small slices of flesh on the ground, I fight the other demons, all of us slowly finishing them off.

One demon was left, it was a child, it cried for its mom, but I see through it, it's not afraid of the dark or light or death, I swiftly cut its head off as John proceeded to grab the sword, for some reason everything went white, we were no longer in a cave, we were nowhere, it was just white... "What's going on," I asked John "Right now we are in a place above the ground, there is a table, it shows the earth, we erase people's memories of the city  by Rea, she'll send black fog all over the earth, we can choose places, change their name, change anything we like, then place the people back in it, after that, we will be known as their god, there are only four gods" He explained, we follwed John as we walked, Amber flying instead, finally we reached the table, it had a globe inside it, John turned it and  changed some names like, Fireland, Iceland, he gave them weird names, after he was done and did all the changes, he faced me "You name the village you lived in" He said. Rea already fogged up Earth, I look at my village and named it "Gift, meaning poison in German" I said "Very well, oh and I forgot to mention as each minute passes, we finish a year, Zay... you will be in so much pain once we leave this place, you'll develop fully and become a woman" He explained "Who are the gods" I asked ignoring what he said "The four Gods are..." He said taking out the gems from the sword "If it floats to you, then you are a God" The blue gem floated to me and embedded itself into the skin, where my heart is, I gasped from the slight pain but it only lasted a minute or two, the brown one went to Amber, the black one went to Rea and the dark green went to John  no one was shocked, they knew that we were the chosen ones, everyone was silent, except a few that cursed.

"It's time to go home, people may treat us like gold or be scared of us, then again, on Earth only we see demons" He warned, I smiled, John created a window looking thing "Everyone step in here, you'll be back on earth" I watched everyone step in, it seemed like everything was going too fast, but we had to go fast, otherwise we might become really old.

I was last to step out, the second I stepped out, my heart ached, my head started pounding and I thought I had seen Aren, I tried to grab him, but he faded away, I stumbled to the ground and puked...blood? I stood up, only too fall again, everyone was surrounding me, feeling sorry for me, some were just happy we finished what we were supposed to do "Take it easy" John said "How can I take it easy without Aren" I panted, then I laid my head down, my hair soaking in the small puddle of blood "It's gonna be fine" John assured me as he picked me up, I fell asleep on him, my mind still going on about the horrible loss of Aren as darkness engulfed me once again...
