The Devilman's Epiphany ✔️

IX- Why did you take my side, Rex?

Rex walked through the doorway with a few bruised bones but I was doing completely fine. I knew he was taking it easy on me as he fought with me. It's almost as if he was looking for excuses to touch me. I knew he didn't get much sleep last night and he looked like he was about to pass out any second so I followed him to his room. He had his eyebrows raised but didn't question as I tucked him in like the little baby bitch he was.

He'd definitely kill me if he heard that.

"Is this the part where you confess?" I rolled my eyes. "It's the part where I fucking kill you." I grabbed the pillow next to him and placed it on his head. He threw it at me as I walked out. Alina saw me walk to my room and had a huge smile on her face as she entered her son's room. I'm completely drained as well.

After putting on the pyjamas Alina came holding a cup of milk and a few cookies. Chocolate chip cookies. I narrowed my eyes. "It's Rex's favorite. I thought you'd want some as well." She smiled before messing with my hair and walked to the door. "Alina," I called behind her. "Thank you," I said after a while and she smiled sweetly before leaving.

We had to drive back the next day and everything was back to normal. Rex was acting like the asshole he was after getting enough sleep. We went to his house to change before going to the warehouse. I had to teach people fighting since Rex didn't let me go into the torture room again. Right, when I was about to get on the rink I saw the tall dark-haired guy. His eyes matched mine. I ran from the side of the rink and twisted the guy's hand when I reached him making him yelp. "What the fuck!" I pulled him to Rex's office which was the closest room.

"You're Dean." I inspected him. "And you're insanely strong." He rubbed his arm and I rolled my eyes. "I... Dean I cannot begin to tell you how much I want to fucking hurt your feelings right now." I rubbed my head. "I don't even know you, the fuck?" I narrowed my eyes angrily. "Are you an only child Dean?" I asked concerned. "I had a sister I think. I'm here for my mother though." He shrugged. "Fucking dumb..." I didn't continue. "I'm your sister. You shouldn't be looking for your mom. You should be running as far as you can." I pointed my finger at him and he stumbled.

"You're..." He didn't even know my fucking name. "Arabella." The door was burst open and two widened eyes looked our way. "Oh. Look they met already." My mom was smiling but I could see the anger behind it.

She didn't want me getting close to Dean.

"Alright. Arabella was already assigned to train crudes. She might as well deal with him." Rex shrugged after walking behind his desk.

"Okay, then it's settled. Show them what you got." My mother looked at Dean. He had a smile on his face which made me want to stab him. "You're fighting Arabella," Rex said as he came behind us. "What?" I said and he nodded. "We need to see if he's any good." I clenched my teeth. "What if he isn't?" I asked. I damn well knew the answer. "I think you know." My mom rubbed my arm and walked away with Dean following behind her like a lost puppy. Rex looked at the door than me to make his point.

I can't take it easy on him. Not in front of my mom. "Hey, Dean." Mother called out after we got on the rink. She pulled out the knife I held downstairs in the torture room and extended it to him. "Isn't this cheating?" He said after grabbing. "Not even close," I muttered and almost jumped when they counted down. "Arabella!" I looked at my mother and saw the warning in her eyes.

"You know what happens if you let him win." I was focused out on my thoughts that I didn't expect him to cut my arm. I groaned as I jumped back. "You-" I controlled my breath and walked in circles as he followed my movement. He made it too obvious. The way he looked at me let me know he was just about to go in again. I can't hold back, even if it means my brother gets to die on his first day.

I gripped his arm and kicked it from the middle which made him yell and drop the knife. I kicked the knife away which made people run away from the spot I threw it to. "You're so fucking stupid." I ducked his punch and returned the favor by landing a blow on his ribs. He held onto that part and managed to kick me on the leg. I wasn't playing around anymore after I saw my mom's dissatisfied look. I grabbed his arm and started kicking him on the stomach till he didn't have the energy to stand up.

He fell on his knees and I kicked his head back which made him slam on the ground. I pushed the hair away from my face before looking at my mother and Rex. My mom had a smile on her face as Rex got on the rink. If I get killed for this, I'm going to hunt the fuck out of Dean when I'm a ghost.

"Wait!" I stood in front of Rex before he could get to Dean. "Arabella move." He said warningly. "Stop." I held my hands up. Then I let out a word I don't ever use because my mom will kill me for it. "Please." I looked at him pleadingly and time stopped. Everyone was watching us now. I knew what they were thinking. 'Why doesn't be just push the bitch away and get to it.' 'Does he have a soft spot?' He stumbled before taking one step back.

"I'll train him," I said determinately. "Your mom is going to kill you. I'm not letting that fucking happen." He said viciously before switching up completely and throwing me to the ground. "Stop!" I yelled as loud as I could.

"He landed a cut on me! Even Rex wasn't able to do that! He's your son, your blood. You know he can do better than that with the right training." I told my mom and I could see people walking back. "Why would I need him when I have you?" She raised one blonde eyebrow and I breathed heavily. "I-"

"She's going to train him. If he doesn't beat the best crude we have I'm killing him next week." Rex said after coming beside me. My mom glanced in between us before nodding. "It's your gang after all. It will be your downfall when you fuck up and I'll take advantage of it." She told Rex. "Be careful what you fucking say to me. Just because you fucked my father doesn't mean you're safe now. You're not an alibi. You're my bitch, you do as I fucking tell you." Rex got on my mother's face and I witnessed something once in a lifetime.

My mother looked genuinely terrified.

Not just scared but she was shitting bricks.

Rex gripped my arm harshly making me jump and pulled me to this office. "What the fuck is wrong with you!" He yelled as loud as he could. "He doesn't deserve that. Even though he's a complete idiot no one deserves that Rex. You know why I did what I did." He slammed his fist on the table and made me flinch. He noticed it before walking up to me and cupping my face using one large hand. "I don't give two shits if he deserves that. You don't tell me what to do. Not you and not your whore of a mother, no one orders me." He said and my expression didn't change. "Why did you stop then?" I said creasing my eyebrows.

"Why did you listen to me? Why don't you want my mother to kill me? Why did you take my side, Rex?" I whispered the last part and made him widen his beautiful eyes. "If anyone gets to kill you it'll be me,  don't forget that."

"You belong to me, I do what I want with you." He dropped his and away and I grabbed the gun from his waistband and put it against my forehead. "Do it, Rex." He held the gun with his hand on the trigger. It shook against my forehead. "I know you won't." I narrowed my eyes. I could read his eyes. I've seen him kill before and heard about it. If you challenge him once he kills you without a thought and I got away with everything I've ever said to him. I know he won't do it.

"Get the fuck out of my fucking office." he turned the gun and slammed it against my head making me pass out cold.
