Lurking Darkness

Natus Saevire

"You." Adam says angrily.

"Adam Taurus." You stare him in his one good eye.

"So Blake? This the new boyfriend?" You step in front of Blake. You are not cold or hot as of now, yet you feel both.

"So I just wasn't good enough for you huh?"

"You know it is so much more than that." You begin shaking. Violently, you feel the urge to kill swell inside of you. Blake grabs your hand.
You need to kill him. You must kill him.  To save Blake.

"Adam. You and me have unfinished business to attend to. But just give me one second." You turn your back to him slowly. You turn to Blake.

"Whatever happens, please don't get involved anymore, let me finish this."
"You're not goin' in alone." Yang says,

"I'll be backup IF you need it, but seeing you right now, I doubt you need me."
A white snowy mist begins to emerge from your body, but not from any pores like sweat or even steam did when you were too hot.

"Blake. I love you." You kiss her. She kisses back. This only serves to enrage Adam.

"HRAGH!" He charges. You feel a new level of strength with this power, just before he can hit you, you use the speed you now have to flank behind him and you bash him in his already dented and destroyed face with Akoúo, sending him flying.

"ARRHH!" He is sent hurling through trees.

"Yang. Are you okay?" You ask seriously.

"Uh... Yea. I am since you just sent Adam flying." She looks at you absolutely shocked.

"Okay, get ready to watch my back, in fact...
You feel an overwhelming pressure to say he's coming from the cliffs.

"Just watch the cliffs where you and me jumped from. He's going to try to attack from there."

"Oh. Okay gotcha." She watches the cliff.
Sure enough.

"He comi—!" You've already appeared behind Adam, just before he turns and looks at you, you punch him in his jaw. It's almost like Absolute Zero is, but calm. Focused. Determined to do what you need to do.

Kill Adam Taurus.

As you connect with his jaw, you look him in his eye, with fiery, unadulterated anger, you send him flying into the bridge. As he lands he creates a crater, almost completely making a hole in the bridge.

"What- What are you? How are you so strong?"

"Do you want to know why I'm so powerful Adam? Do you want to know why I will beat you, and defeat you every single time we face?" You jump down from the cliff and walk toward him.

"Because I have people to protect. People to love. People who will never leave my side."
He looks at you stunned.

"By the way. Nice eye." You lunge forward, finally unsheathing Ekdíkisi and you're going to stab Adam, just like he did to Blake. Except you won't stop until he's gone.  As you go to stab Adam, he fires his sword out of his sheathe, it bounces off of you and before you know he had done it. He reversed the roles.

"Y/N!!" You hear Blake yell out. As you stand there, a hole in your gut. Anger fuels you, or it's adrenaline, you fire forward at lightning speed and stab him in he chest with Ekdíkisi, after you pull your halberd back, you turn it into Timoría and fire off as many rounds as it takes for him to stop moving, he finally is standing on the edge of the bridge, riddled with bullet holes and a stab wounds, you utter these final words to him.

"Who's the coward... now." Your breathing becoming labored. You rush forward and slash him with the scythe, cutting him in two, he falls off the bridge, dead.
