It's The Eyes...

Fury

(A/N: This chapter is gonna be freakin' intense! If I were you, I'd listen to the music and read the chapter. You'll see why if you do. *wink*)

The man on the throne no longer lounged, he sat bolt upright, staring down at his kneeling subject with cool indifference. The cloaked man smiled beneath his dark purple hood. "Everything is going to plan Sir." The man frowned slightly. "We still don't have the Derp. That was part of the plan." The cloaked man tilted his head to one side. "He approaches us. He seeks revenge on what we did to him." The man on the throne smirked. "That toxin was a clever idea." The cloaked man nodded solemnly. "I shall alert the troops that we need to prepare for his arrival." He stood up and the man on the throne watched him leave. As he reached the door the cloaked man heard his master muttering to himself. "Derp SSundee is an animal. And I shall treat him as such. If he shows even the slightest hint of disloyalty, I shall put him down like a dog." The cloaked man gulped and opened the door. The Rebel Leader was a cruel man, but when you were rebelling against someone like Notch, you needed someone like the Leader. The cloaked man sighed. He worried that the Leader's arrogance and cruelty would one day doom the Rebellion. Which is why he had formulated his own plans concerning Derp SSundee...

FireSpark's POV

We were trudging through a Tiaga biome. Up ahead Sky and Mitch were laughing and telling jokes to keep our spirits up. I was walking slightly behind Ian, but he had been deep in thought since we'd left the city, so I talked to Mitch and Sky instead. Mitch was laughing at something stupid Sky had said. "I seem to recall you calling me Leo Valdez once?" Sky grinned. "That was when Seto gave you the wrong fire resistance potion wasn't it?" I smiled. "You guys are crazy." Sky laughed. "In a good way though?" Ian stared at Sky coldly. "What's in a bad way?" Sky didn't reply and we descended into an icy silence. That is, until Mitch walked into a tree. Sky and I dissolved into fits of laughter as the branches shook a ton of discarded snow right on top of Mitch's head. Even Ian raised a faint smile. We carried on walking, the laughter re-awakening our voices. Suddenly, Ian ground to a halt in front of me. I nearly collided with him and staggered back a few steps in the deep snow. I craned my neck round to see over his shoulder. I bit my lip. Sky and Mitch backtracked till they too could see what had stopped Ian in his tracks. Mitch stared at the ground and Sky looked at his friend in sympathy. A few chunks away, there was a particularly broad fir tree. Pinned to its trunk was a Wanted poster. An artists impression of Derp SSundee was scrawled over it and beneath it said in bold letters: Wanted- Dead Or Alive. Beneath in smaller letters it said: Preferably dead. The artist was good, but not good enough to capture the intense hate and bloodlust that normally burned so bright in Derp's crooked eyes. They had drawn him snarling aggressively though, and I could almost hear the rumbling growl that would be issuing from his gritted teeth. Ian stood there for a moment, then strode forward, ripping the poster savagely from the tree. We watched as he tore it in half and walked off without another word. Mitch and I stared at the torn poster as Sky ran after Ian, fervently calling his friend's name in anguish. I looked at the poster and sighed heavily. To me it was like two halves of a broken life, torn apart, impossible to mend.

Ian's POV (Warning: Things are about to get violent XD)

I stormed off, fists clenched. Anger boiled through my veins, hate clouding my vision and tingeing it red. I hated Derp SSundee with very fibre of my being; I hated myself even more for letting this happen. I hated the people who tried to make me normal. They couldn't. No one could. Fury rushed through me, making my stomach churn. I was a fugitive, a murderer, and a psychopath. The one who made me this way had his face torn apart back there. I felt some sort of triumph at my actions. But I reminded myself of how it had happened in the first place and a guttural snarl ripped through me. If I ever got the chance, I would make my alter ego suffer. A slow, painful death. Lots of screams. I'd make him beg for how he had made me suffer. A sadistic smile crept across my face. I could dimly hear Sky crying my name, but over the deafening ringing in my ears I couldn't be sure. I felt a hand on my shoulder and whipped round. Sky backed away slightly. "Ian. It's ok, it's just a poster-" I couldn't control myself. My arm shot out from my side and the fist curled round his throat. I pulled him close to me, savouring the fear in his eyes behind his shades. He clawed at my arm, trying to rid himself of the choke. I narrowed my eyes. "It's not just a poster to me Sky, to me that's a symbol. Another sign that my life is falling apart, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it! I hate it, I really do." His face was slowly turning a dangerous shade of purple. His efforts to escape me were becoming weaker. I opened my hand and he dropped to the ground, hacking and coughing on his hands and knees. I growled. "You have no idea what I go through every day." My voice was dangerously calm. "And you will never know." "Ian!" I turned to look at FireSpark. "Stop this. You don't want this. Listen to me." She implored. I snapped.

"NO! I WON'T LISTEN TO YOU! BECAUSE EVERY TIME I DO, EVERYTHING GOES WRONG! I'VE BEEN RESTRAINED, IMPRISONED, MADE TO FEEL SHAME AND GUILT! AND ITS NEARLY KILLED ME! MY ONLY HOPE IS THE DAY I FINALLY BECOME DERP SSUNDEE, BECAUSE ONLY THEN WILL I BE FREE OF THIS! THIS ETERNAL HELL I CALL LIFE!" FireSpark froze, horror etched on her face. I glimpsed Mitch slowly drawing his bow and arrows from the quiver on his back. I didn't care, I couldn't stop. Didn't want to stop. "I'M A MONSTER, A MURDERER, A PSYCHOPATH AND A FUGITIVE! DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU FIRESPARK? I TOLD MYSELF I WAS STRONGER! I TOLD MYSELF I COULD DEFEAT HIM! BUT I WAS WRONG!" My eyes felt hot as tears forced their way out of them. Panic clawed at me as I realised my voice was changing, becoming hoarser and more strangled. FireSpark was still frozen in shock. Mitch now had an arrow notched at my face. "I KNOW I'VE KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE, BUT I DON'T CARE! YOU DON'T FEEL WHAT I DO! THE SICKENING EUPHORIA THAT COMES WITH ENDING A LIFE! I CAN'T CHANGE THAT! I CAN'T CHANGE WHO I AM! WHAT I AM!" Sky staggered to his feet. "Ian. Stop. Now. You can still fight him." I glared at him. "But what if I don't want to fight him Sky? What if I want to be him? To be free from responsibilities and guilt. This torturous guilt that comes with the aftermath of the massacre." I lowered my voice, sadness cutting through my strangled tones. "It kills me Sky. I tell you I'm fine, only because I don't want you to know the truth." Sky's jaw dropped and Mitch's eyes widened. FireSpark finally found her voice. "The truth?" I turned on her. "The truth is...I love killing people. I love being Derp SSundee. I used to hate it, but now I know I have no choice. The guilt has gotten to me, eaten away at my soul. I've decided that if this is my future life, I might as well get used to it." Sky stepped back away from me. "Um, Ian, you might want to-" In seconds I was in front of him; my fist crunching into his jaw and he staggered backwards, reeling in agony. Mitch let the arrow fly and I heard it whistling through the cold air. My hand flashed upwards and I caught it as it hovered inches away from my face. Without looking, I threw it back and smiled in sick satisfaction as Mitch's cry of pain rang in my ears. FireSpark walked forward till she was inches away from me. "Please Ian, listen to me!" I turned my head slowly to look at her. Sky looked up at me in fear and I saw my reflection in his sunglasses. Teeth bared in a snarl, aggressive posture, a pair of crooked eyes, burning with hate and ferocity. My eyes. I stared at FireSpark for a long time, then uttered the 3 words that would change my life. "I'm not Ian."
