Fight Back (Third Book To Total Control)

Up to no Good

Your POV

"What am I, Light?" I asked Light and he hung his head, he took a breath and shook his head.
"You are supposed to be human" he said.
"Supposed to? Why do you say supposed to?" Mark asked, I looked at him and he backed down, seeing that I needed the answers for myself.
"You are very dangerous to both worlds" he said
"I don't want any vague answers, I want the truth. What am I?" I repeated firmly and he sat up straight.
"You are a half demon, by blood. It's part of you, ever since you were born. You were supposed to be executed when you were born but you couldn't be found" he started and Sèan and Mark leaned forward in their seat. Wil leaned back.
"You couldn't be found because of your incredible good nature, you were a happy child and a happy person. Nothing scarred you severely until...well, Dark. But by the time you could've been found you were already too powerful to confront. It was thought it would be better if you were left alone and not have any more events like that" he explained. I couldn't quite process the information being given to me. And by the looks on Mark and Sèan's faces, neither could they.

"So are you supposed to kill me now?" I asked.
"No, if we could help you bring down Dark then it would be safe for you and nothing more to bring that side out" Light answered.
"That side? What do you mean? And how am I half demon?" I asked.
"Your mother. You were born half demon to a very powerful tyrant in the demon world, worse than Dark and Anti combined" he replied.
"And there's a legend about him, that he and his branches would wreak havoc on the worlds, of course he was put to execution and killed but there's still a matter of his branches" Wil spoke up. We all looked at him.
"You knew?" Sèan asked.
"I know the legend, I wasn't too sure if she was the one, but there were similarities" he said, I turned my attention to Light again as he spoke
"But since your mother was such a good natured person and a descendant angel blood, it covered your demon half. Since Dark came into your life, it's been slowly failing and the demon's been fighting through. Which is why we have to keep it contained and under control" Light said looking at me intently.
"What?! Angel blood? What the hell does that mean now?" I questioned.
"A long ways back there was an angel that fell in love with a human, they brought a child into the world and that child lived on, an ancestor of your family" he explained.
"This is all too much" I took a breath.
"I know it must be a lot, but it is what it is. Because of your connected bloodlines, you're more powerful than anything we've ever seen and highly unstable. Your good side overpowers for now but any more exposure to Dark, that can wither away and you'd embrace that side" Light told and I held my head in my hands.

"Lemme get this straight. My mom fucked an extremely powerful demon, had me, but since her ancestor was an angel, it held that part of me at bay. Then Dark fucked up my life and that started a domino effect. So if I never met him, I would've been fine?" I asked.
"In theory, yes. But he was drawn to you for that exact reason, sooner or later some demon would've come along. They crave that power, and you radiate of it" Light said.
"Ok, so how do I kill Dark?" I asked.
"Wait, you're ok with this?" Mark asked me.
"It is what is, I can't do anything but accept it and live. And in order for that we need to kill him, so can you teach me to control it Light?" I asked.
"Me? I'm an angel, we're completely different" he answered.
"I can" Wil said, leaning forward in his seat.
"Ok, when do we start?" I inquired. Mark and Sèan looked at me as if I was crazy.
"Tomorrow, if you can go without trying to kill me" he spat.
"Honest mistake Wil, let it go" I retorted.
"K, friends again?" he reached over with his hand. I took it and smiled.
"Sure, you're still a goof to me" I said and he grinned.

The night came and there wasn't much said between us in the house. Light left after we figured out everything for the moment and Wil started to drown himself in drinking. Sèan preoccupied himself with the TV and Mark was hardly seen outside.
I watched with Sèan for a while till I felt tired and left for my room. I saw Mark in his on my way, he was pacing up and down, looking as if he was thinking or at least trying to. I know it must be hard to understand. I wondered if he still felt the same about me, knowing now what he knows. If he regretted any of his decisions to help me. I thought about going in and talking to him, but decided against it, as he probably needed to be alone. And so did I.
The next morning came faster than I hoped, I was up early with Wil, he made breakfast, we ate and he took me up to the waterfall.
