Demon of my Heartstrings

Seventeen: Puppet Master

-Sirius-

"Your what?" I hissed.

"A puppeteer dearie. Don't you young demons learn anything?" He asks in a duh tone as he tilts his head forwards making a weird ticking sound.

"What do you want?" I ask dismissing his question angrily.

"Her." He says pointing right at Cordelia.

Why does every fucking creature want my damn soulmate? I'm about had it with everyone taking what belongs to me! Cordelia is my soulmate, she doesn't belong to any of these worthless creatures who keep showing up to take her. I'm not gonna let these losers take what is mine and mine alone. I growled at this so called puppeteer before glancing down towards Zakary. He looks so dead inside, what the hell did he do to him? I caught a whiff of his scent and my eyes widen when I realize exactly what he did to him.

"What did you do to Zakary?" I growled.

"Oh? Your friend here dearie?" He asks tilting his head making that annoying ticking sound.

"What. Did. You. Do. To. Him?" I growled each word out lowly.

"He's my puppet now dearie. They don't call me the puppet master for nothing." He says jumping down right next to Zakary.

"Is he, dead?" Jessamyn asks in shock.

"Of course he is! I took control of his mind and body! It was so easy to take control of him. He was already struggling as it was, so to put him out of his misery I stole his heart and ate it. I took full control of him and now he's my puppet dearie." He tells us with a smirk.

"He's our friend! You can't have him! Give him back!" Cordelia yells angrily.

"You don't understand dearie. He's my puppet, he's dead, he belongs to me now." He tells her with that same smirk.

"No! He belongs to us first! I don't care if he's dead or alive he's still our friend and we want him back!" Cordelia argues back.

"You won't even be able to talk with him dearie. What's the point in giving you my puppet if he's useless to you." He says now ticking his head to the side.

"He's our friend and just because he's dead now because of you, doesn't mean we can't at least give him a proper burial!" Cordelia hisses.

"I don't think you should be worrying about his proper burial." He says as he disappears.

We look around but I glanced back towards Zakary to see that he's suddenly smirking. It didn't look right, as it looked force but just knowing I lost another friend made me angry. My eyes widen when Zakary jumps up into the air, and we all tried to follow where he went but couldn't see where he went. I suddenly felt something sharp wrap around my wrist, and I turn to see my wrist bleeding all around before I'm yanked upwards making me wince in pain. Whatever was wrapped around my wrist disappears but I'm tossed backwards into the sky! When I landed I notice the others have landed with me with their wrists in similar situations, excepts Cristobal's and Jessamyn's look worse and it didn't heal. I then realize that Cordelia was nowhere around. That bastard! He distracted us with Zakary! I hissed. I stood up before glancing over at my wrist before confirming that it must've been string, and a very sharp one at that. That puppeteer is going down, and I'll make sure that I'll get Cordelia back. It's not fair that she's always in danger because of me, there has to be a way to keep her safe. My eyes blink as I thought back to the argument I had with my father.

"You want me to do what?" I've asked.

"Cordelia is your soulmate Sirius, and your sixteen. It's time to wed her and to make sure she's safer and to make you two more powerful couple, she needs to turn into a demon." Father told me sternly.
