To Break A Curse

7

"THOMAS!" Roman screamed out as he knocked on the others door a tad more aggressively than he had intended when deciding to seek them out. "I know you're in there, Thomas. Open the fucking door."

"THOMAS?!" Roman collapsed against the door shaking as he tried to calm himself down. "Thomas, please. I just want to talk." Yet there was no sound. Roman's eyes narrowed as he just stared at the door. "Look, I know I said some pretty... mean things. I'm sorry. I just want to get home. I fucked up ok. I didn't mean to get so angry. That was 19 years ago though so... Just please talk to..." There was this blast of hot air making Roman freeze up. "...me."

"Thomas?" Roman slowly backed away from the house seeing the grass around him start to die. The flowers withered and the wood around the house began to rot. "Buddy? Is something wrong?"

"Roman?" Roman spun around to see a very different looking Thomas staring at him and his blood froze. His eyes... Roman stumbled back as Thomas smirked at him. "What? Is something wrong?"

"Te Ka?" Thomas smirk widened as he took a step closer. "But... B-But I did... I didn't do what I..."

"Didn't what, Roman? Didn't break my heart? Didn't force me into hiding it so you couldn't find it? Didn't force me into hiding just so that you wouldn't retaliate? All because you wanted to go home..." Thomas shrugged as he took another step closer. The ground warped and died with every step Thomas took. Roman shook with fear as he ended up backing up into the house. He could feel the dark energy pulsing around the place making him nauseous. "I'm tired, Roman. I'm tired of this game we've been playing. You're the moron that made that stupid deal. I can't help you get home. You're not a god anymore. You're just a useless puny demi."

"Thomas, this isn't you..." Roman tensed feeling a bast of hot air as Thomas growled at him.

"This is me, Roman. I started out as a demon remember. The strongest there was until your brother decided to switch sides." Roman fumbled about for anything that could help but there really wasn't much that could fight against a demon like Te Ka. "If I remember correctly, didn't you say the next time you saw me you would send me back to the hell?" Thomas smirked deviously as he held his arms up slightly. "Care to try?"

"No. Not really." Roman through his arms out creating a blast of bright light blinding Thomas as he attempted to run past him. However the moment he got back to the door Thomas grabbed Roman's throat and threw him against the wall. "T-Thomas p-please. I'm sorry I fucked up. I know I did..."

"Because of you, I was forced to give up the very thing I held dear to me, Roman." Thomas's eyes glowed a dangerous red as he gripped Roman's throat tighter. "I spent the last 19 years terrified that you would do something. Because of you, I was forced to miss SO MUCH! It's not like I could just get rid of you. If I did that I'd have a god and a demon on my ass and a demi was enough trouble as it is. But like I've said, Roman..." Thomas leaned in and Roman struggled just to get air as Thomas's fingers burned his skin. "I've grown tired of this game."

"T-Thom-mas... w-wait..." Roman struggled against Thomas's grip as he tried to pry himself free. "S-Stop... p-please...stop."

"You have no idea the pain you caused me. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WAS FORCED TO GIVE UP BECAUSE OF YOU!" Thomas slammed Roman against the wall again making the other's vision start to blur.

"Thomas..." Roman choked out as the other's grip tightened. "You're... hurting me..."

"And you've hurt me, Roman. Do you care? NO!" Thomas threw Roman into the table as he yelled. "You just want to get home. You don't care about the lives you've damaged."

"What exactly did I do?!" Roman stumbled to his feet wincing at the burns on his throat. "I never actually attempted anything. All I said was..."

"You rip my heart from me and break it into a bunch of tiny pieces." Roman cringed hearing his words thrown back at him. "What did Shakespeare take your morality too?"
