Chapter 29

"It's a what?" Cody exclaims and stares at the orange gem necklace.

"This belongs to a healing Demon," Aaron takes a second to think, "I believe his name is Coco."

"Coco? Sounds kinda stupid for a Demon name." Nate immediately puts his hands up, "N-No offense."

"None taken. I actually know the least about him since he's been gone for so long. I don't even know what he looks like." Aaron shakes his head.

"Is there any way you can bring him here?" Silver asks Aaron

"Yeah, but I need you guys to stand back and give me some room." He says and gets down on his knees.

Cody gets out of his chair and stands against the wall with Silver and Nate. Aaron places the necklace on the floor and grabs his pocket knife from his belt.

"Actually," He looks up at Cody, "Do you want the demon to be yours, Cody?"

Cody hesitates but then nods. Aaron motions for him to get closer and he knees down in front of him.

"I don't want to do this but in order to give a nondemon summoner a demon is by doing a ritual." Aaron takes Cody's hand.

"It's okay." Cody nods his head.

"I can't tell you anything that will happen but I just want you to know that after I do this you can't go back at all." Aaron says.

"It's okay. I know you wouldn't put me through anything I can't handle." He kisses Aaron's hand.

Aaron pulls Cody's hand closer and drags the blade across his hand. Cody winces in pain as Aaron licks the blood from his hand. Aaron shivers a bit before opening his pitch black eyes and putting the necklace into Cody's bloody palm

"Now close your eyes and don't open them till I say." Aaron says with a deeper voice.

Cody slowly closes his eyes and Aaron sighs with worry, "All I'm going to say is..... keep your anxiety down."

"What? Why-"

"OPEN YOUR EYES!"

Cody jumps back as his eyes fly open in terror. He was in his fighting clothes: blue jeans, skin tight black shirt, black combat boots, and a belt that held a sai behind his back.

"Hehehe, you're a jumpy one, aren't ya?" A black smoke like figure laughs.

"W-who are you?" Cody stutters and gets up to his feet.

"Anything you fear." It laughs again and takes the form of a man.

Cody watches as it changes color and shapes into a familiar person. It had a stubby beard and dark brown eyes. The grin made Cody freeze in his spot and start to tremble in fear.

"A-alfr-" Cody shakes his head and glares up at him, "You're not real! You're not the real Alfredo!"

He puts his right hand up and blasts fire at the man. He turns back into a black smoke and starts to charge at Cody. He runs away from the figure and looks around at the rocky terrain. It was hot and there was fire almost everywhere. Jagged rocks were sticking out from the ground making it uneven and the heat from the ground started to rise into Cody's boots.

"You can't get away from me, kid!" The figure appears in front of him.

Cody covers his fists in fire and gets into a fighting position, "Then take a form and fight me!"

The figure takes the form of a brown haired, blue eyed, and pale skinned boy.

"M-...Madori." Cody mutters to himself.
