I'll never forget the look on the face of the first person to see me
after I came back. The way their whole body trembled in fear of me. The way
he screamed as he shot at me, ending his own life in a ball of flame. The
look he had in his eyes as he saw the end coming. It was the hardest thing
for me to watch, but deep inside in that dark, festering part of my soul, I
loved it. My entire being yearned for it, lusted after it, wanted it with
such ferocious force that it almost took hold of me. I almost became what
they wanted, what all of hell wanted, an evil hell spawn bent on
destruction, a general for the armies of hell. It almost ended, but the
little force, that tiny light that drove back the darkness, love, spared
me. I took my cue from that saving grace and chose to fight my own battle.
I chose to fight but not for heaven or for hell. I chose to fight for me!
The rain slides down from the sky in sheets as I move from roof to roof. Nothing has been seen yet, but I am patient. I know he will show himself. May be not directly, but he will send someone... something. As I sit there I think of my family, though it is not mine any more. I'm just glad to know they're alive. Something moves below me and it isn't human, if ever it was. I quickly drop down ready to fight. I let out a low sigh and mumble, "damn cats." Then without warning Violator springs from behind it, crushing it beneath him. He looks into my eyes and grins. Under my mask I'm grinning, as well. "Well, look what the cat dragged in," I say in a mocking voice. "Or what dragged in the cat." He says back in a voice like rusty nails in a grinder. "So, what brings out Malbosia's little lap dog today?" I say, only half interested in the answer, wanting really just to get to the fighting. I know it would feel so good to beat him right now, but I ignore the thought. "You will come back to us this time, by your own will or not! If you resist I will crush you!" He says, and roars with a sound not meant for this earth. The chain from my belt flips around his mouth, pinning it shut. "You talk too much, Violator," I say, smirking the entire time. He rips the chain away and we stare at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.
