Dark Wings

11. Bloodshed (Part 1)

He has horns.. and black wings..

He..

"Dien.. What is happening to you?" I reached out to hold him but he eventually spread his wings, hiding himself behind it.

"Don't look at me.." Dien exclaimed. I tried to hold him but he shoved my hands off.

"I am the son of the Devil.. I am Lucifer's son, Brielle!"

He said, looking into my eyes. I could not believe what he just told me.

Demons... THEY aren't real right?

But I am staring at one right now. How could this happen to me.. to US?

"Now that you already learned our secret, you must die!" Mr. Livingston, or Lucifer, said holding a sword.

He walks his way toward me. I was supposed to run away but my body won't move.

Just as when he was about to kill me, Dien launched himself to his father.

"Run Brielle! Run!" he shouted while trying to take the sword away from his father.

"But..."

"Just run! Go!" I ran out of the room and into the hall.

There are plenty of visitors who doesn't even know what was happening. I keep running, from corner to corner.

I need to get away, as far from this place as possible.

After ages of running, I stopped, panting, in front of a mausoleum whose entrance has a statue of an angel with broken wings.

I did not notice that I just entered the graveyard. But now, I'm not scared of the cemetery.

I am scared of the monster who is trying to kill me.

I reached out for my necklace but it was already gone. It probably fell a while ago.

"My God.. help me please.." I prayed but I was interrupted by the hair-raising laughter of a man from behind me.

I faced Lucifer who was still holding his sword which is now filled with blood.

"What have you done to Dien?!" I asked him. I can't believe that he hurt his son just to get me.

"I let him sleep so that he won't be meddling with our game.. Now, where are we? Hmm,.. I guess it's the part where I'm about to kill you!"

He walked his way towards me, savoring his victory.

While I stepped back and tripped, falling to the foot of the angel's statue.

"Now, Die!" he shouted, swinging the sword towards me.

I closed my eyes, waiting for the steel to cut my flesh but nothing came.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Dien standing, his back to me. From my position I could also see that his right wing was broken.
