Black eyes

Chapter 5

I set the ritual. I drew a circle and a star inside it and placed candles on it. I took my backpack and pulled out a book of spells. I took a deep breath trying to concentrate into this. I don't even know what I'm capable of so how does he know? Maybe that demon, who was inside his head knows something about me that I don't know about myself.

I guess I'll just have to find out. Blaze was sitting in front of me with his legs crossed and his hands resting on his knees as he watched me raise my hands and close my eyes before starting to repeat the same sentence...over and over again, until I felt my nose bleed and my body melt like a candle from how hot I was from the fire around my circle I drew.

And then suddenly, I fell on the ground powerless. Before it went pitch black I noticed Blaze stand up, his laughter rang in my ears so loudly...and then I passed out.

I woke up in the same spot where I passed out. I felt so weak. I could barely remember what happened. I managed to pull myself up from the floor putting my head in the palm of my head as it ached.

I looked around me seeing candles and fire burns around me and a disturbing writing on the wall

Free and ready to kill

Then it hit me. That fucking demon made me bring him back. Now hes free and is able to kill!

I quickly stood up, gathered all of my things and ran towards the door kicking it open. A feeling of relief rushed through my body that I'm no longer stuck in this damned house. I wanna see my dad! I don't care about that bullying and prooving that I can see spirits. It doesn't matter anymore, there's a monster in this city now and he's free.

And more importantly...

It's my fault.

"Dad!!!'' I shouted as I ran into my house dropping my backpack.

"Maggie! Honey where have you been!!! I've been looking for you like crazy!'' He hugged me tightly and I did the same. It felt good to hug him and finally feel safe.

"I'm so sorry'' I started crying "I'm sorry...so so sorry"

"Why are you sorry Maggie?" He asked slightly pulling away from the hug "What happened??" Dad looked at me worried.

"I..I just did something bad'' I confessed. I am always very truthful to my father, always. It's a thing in my family, no lying, no betrayal, only love and happiness, or if it's sadness there's always support and love.

"What...? Tell me everything'' he said in a nervous tone impatiently.

I don't want to be a disgrace in my family, I don't want to disappoint my mom and dad. They're so important to me and I'd rather suffer from hiding the truth than let their disappointment kill mr. I have to lie. I don't want to dissapoint him nor make him worry. I must lie, I'm sorry daddy...

"I'm just sorry that I made you worry like that, I was in  church's library reading and accidentally fell asleep, no one noticed me" I lied. I know my dad will believe this lie because our family is very  spiritual, we are the believers and going into the church's library and spending there a lot of time for me is not new to my dad.

My dad just sighed and pulled me back into a hug "It's okay sweetheart. But never do that again. You're all I have and I dont want to lose you. Okay? Promise me you'll be more aware''

" I promise. I love you, daddy" I promised.

"I love you too, Maggy''

When my dad left for hunting I took a long shower. Millions of thoughts were rushing through my head. I don't know what will happen next. Will I be safe? Will my dad be safe? Will anyone be safe? Sure there are many more demons outside this world, but this one felt different.

I quickly dressed into comfy clothes, turned off the lights and laid in my bed.  I put on my earphones and started to listen to some music with my eyes closed calming myself.

Suddenly I felt someone touching my thight. I sat up and looked around pulling out my earbuds.

"What the hell..?'' I whispered. I hope it's not him, please not be him.

,,It's me baby girl.''

Damnit!

"Blaze...'' I said  his name quietly "What are you doing here?'' I asked. He then showed himself to be and sat on the edge of my bed close to me.

"I came for you, love. Thanks for giving me a life.'' Blaze winked at me sitting on my bed beside me. It's creepy how I can't really tell if it's a demon or Blaze. I don't know to which one of them I gave life.

"To whom I gave a life?" I asked confused. I brushed my fingers through my hair.

"To me" He chuckled "Blaze" he answered and smirked "I was unconscious when you brought back to life cause you see. I used to be weak because, I was was surrounded by negative energy my whole life, I was sick of it so I wanted to change. The change had it's...you know, consequences"

"Means murdering your whole family?" I frowned.

"Exactly" Blaze clapped.

"So what does it make you now? A demon?" I raised my eyebrow. Damn that guy used to be pathetic.

"It makes me both human and demon. I have two personalities, one is more dominant, the other one not so dominant, which is going to be a fucking struggle" he rolled his eyes and laid on my bed.

"What motivated you to get into this whole mess? Using dark magic or even spiritism is never going to cure you and fix your problems!"

"But it did! Do you know how it feels so to be always pushed around, bullied, beaten up?" He looked at me with his eyes turning pitch black as he hovered above me.

"Do you know how it feels to be different, to be scared, to never have any luck and happiness knocking on your door?!" He raised his voice. I could feel his anger. He still had an emotion side. He does have two personalities...

I stared up into his eyes and whispered "I do..."

"W-what?" His eyes turned icy blue, just like mine.

"I'm going through the same thing right now" I said and placed his hand on my heart to let him know I'm being honest.

Blaze looked at his hand on my chest and bit his lip not saying anything. I put my hand on his chest where his heart is. Blaze has a heart, I can feel it beating quickly as he stared at me, probably thinking in his emotional side. Maybe it's something I could take advantage of...? I have to reach into his emotional vulnerable good side and make it more dominant.

I have to fix my mistake.
