Alter Egos - The Devil's Ego

Chapter 15 - A Demonic Secret

Haylie's POV:
Shit, shit, shit! I begin to brace myself as the Gremlin prepares to swipe the knife into my body. I couldn't do anything. I had no weapons and was defenceless. I hadn't really been trained because I didn't follow any of the orders that were given to me from Lucifer. The gremlin raises the knife and as he brings it down I close my eyes thinking at 'at least I will be out of this hell hole.' But the fatal blow never arrived. I looked up and there was no gremlin. Just a hand. It was Blizzard's hand.
"Are you getting up to help us?!" Blizzard asked.
I took her hand and got up to see the others still fighting.
"Why did you save me?" I then ask, "I wasn't exactly very nice to you guys." I then look down.
"One word for you. Family. You're helping us get my brother and his wife back. That's enough to keep you alive. Plus. Assassin 101. Don't get distracted from a fight." Blizzard then calmly states.
I nod and then look at the others. Neko was fighting two The twins had 5 gremlins on them. Chara was fighting a few with Chinnock running from one. The Ghost Assassin was no where to be seen.
"Here is a sword. You might need it." Blizzard said as she handed me a sword.
I nodded then we both ran straight into the fight. The sound of metal clashing together sounded so wonderful! It felt powerful as if I could do anything. Only issue was more gremlins were forming from the ground and we were beginning to become heavily outnumbered and we all began to fall back.
"Where the hell is the Ghost Assassin!" The Mischievous Assassin asked.
"It's like she is too scared to fight!" The Mischievous Ghost added.
"DON'T YOU DARE THINK I AM TOO SCARED TO FIGHT!" A demonic voice then said and made us freeze to our spots!
Lucifer's POV:
Watching these gremlins take apart these freaks is fairly nice then all of a sudden a highly demonic voice came and tick me it sounded scary! Then when I saw what it was I just had to get some popcorn as this was gonna get interesting!

The Ghost Assassin's POV:
How dare they say I would run from a fight. You know what. To hell with it. Time to show'em.
"DON'T YOU DARE THINK I AM TOO SCARED TO FIGHT!" I angrily say to all of them. My voice sounded demonic and I was happy about it.
"T..t.t..Tara?!" The twins then managed to stutter.
"No I'm the Ghost Assassin." I then reply.
"But your eyes... they are fully red and you have four of them!" Chara then stated.
"Yes well done you can count how many eyes I have." I then reply harshly.
"What the hell are you doing?! And what are you?!" Haylie then questioned.
"Enough Questions!" I shouted then lifted them up with some dark magic that I have followed by picking up every last gremlin. I closed my right hand and began to suffocate the gremlins eventually having enough force to break every bone in their bodies. Oh and at this point I was floating in the air. I then released my family dropping them to the ground. I then went back to normal and then began to back away. But they continued to follow me backwards until Blizzard grabbed my arm and stopped me.
"Where are you going?" She asked curiously.
"Away from you lot so you don't get hurt!" I then tear.
"What is wrong?" Neko pitches in.
"I... I can't tell you. I promised Dad I wouldn't." I reply.
"Look. Your father ain't here now and we need to know what is going on with you so that we can save them, please tell us." Chara stated.
"Only if you promise no to let Dad know that you know!" I bargain with them. They all nod in agreement and I let out a big sigh.
"Ok. One night I was having a nightmare and was tossing and turning. It turns out Dad came in to check up on me. And there was this dark magic destroying things in my room. It even try to hurt Dad. He then came over to me and woke me up. That's when I saw the destruction of my room. I... I broke down and just had Dad hugging me as I cried."

*Flashback* (3rd Person POV)

"Shhh. Don't worry I'm here now." Shadow said to his child.
"Wh.. wha.. what happened?" Tara asked as she continued to cry.
"Listen. It's nothing to worry about ok. I know what is happening." Shadow stayed still comforting Tara.
"Then what is wrong with me?" Tara continued to question.
"Do you really want to know? I don't want to scare you with it." Shadow explained.
"Yes. Please tell me. I'm scared Dad!" Tara pleaded.
"Ok. Basically it's part of your demon gene. Your Mum. She has it but hers is dormant. Yours however works. This gene allows you to become fully demonic but you can keep it under control and recognise those you love so you won't hurt them unless you want to. It will work in both forms and it works on emotion. Yours works on anger and fear. Some times any emotion can set it off. But the only way to contain it is to meditate and keep it in balance ok." Shadow explained.
"Yeah." Tara replies.
"Oh and Tara. Don't tell anyone about it ok. It's best if no one knew. Please go back to sleep and we will work together tomorrow to help you meditate ok?" Shadow states.
"I can do that Dad. Thank you." Tara answers.
"No worries." Shadow then leaves the room and Tara heads back to sleep.

*Present Day* (TheGhostAssassins POV)

"And from then on I have worked with Dad on meditating. And keeping it all in check." I finish.
"Wow! Go on show us some moves" The twins say.
I can't help but grin as I form a fist of dark magic and just punch them in the head.
"Happy?" I ask.
They nod knowing not to piss me off.
"Why would Shadow want this to be a secret?!" Chinnock then asked
"I think it's because I need to be careful with it. But I haven't meditated and I'm scared and angry. So it's really messing with me!" I reply.
"Anyway can we get going please? Shadow and Ghost await!" Haylie then calls and they all follow.
