Deep Within
Damien fanfic
"Monster" - Skillet.
By: Krizz666
The school fell silent in the hall as the lights dimmed till it was
almost hard to see. Coldness swept past each student, making them shudder and hold their breath, as if something dreadful was about to happen at any given moment. Guitars, plugs and a drum set sat in the middle of
the room. It was so hushed that only the sound of each students thumping heart could be heard…As if creating the opening beat to the next performance.
The floors cracked open slightly, emitting a foul smell from
below. Black shadows rose from the cracks, taking their demon forms at
the different instruments. Horns, fangs, and bloodshot eyes decorated the demons that sat in the middle of the stage. Each looking more horrifying than the last.
An ear piercing blast filled the hall, causing students to cover their ears while each window shattered outwards, destroying the silence that controlled the room moments ago.
The cold chill swept to the center, and a black cloud swirled in a circular motion from the ground up, creating legs and arms; forming a complete body, before finally the head.
Whispers were heard while watching in disbelief and horror. Demonic glowing crimson eyes snapped open, a cold stare at the crowd before him; silencing them all. Black hair framed his face, while a ruby glow framed the rest of his slim body.
Black coated fingernails, and fingers bejeweled with assorted silver skull and garnet rings reached out grabbing for the microphone. No introduction was needed, the son of Satan stood before the crowd in shapeless black pants with heavy chains, while a black tee shirt fitted his upper body.
The demon that stood off to the side opened the song, strumming on the guitar, while Damien smirked, opening his mouth, his deep voice…sang, a soft growl at the back of his throat visible.
"the secret side of me it's scratchin on the walls
I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it so stay away from me the beast
is ugly I feel the rage and I just can't hold it"
in the closet in the halls
it comes awake and I can't control it
hidin under the bed
in my body in my head
why won't somebody come and save me from this make it end"
His red eyes gleamed darkly, clutching the microphone, as if singing these words were forcing him to spill his inner feelings about himself to the students before him. But he continued, singing with that sinister and powerful voice.
"I feel it deep within I hate what I've become I I feel like a monster
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I I feel like a monster"
The demon on the guitar continued; while Damien paused before the next verse, looking up at the crowd that sat before him, all eyes on him, mouths slightly open, as if in a trance.
"my secret side I keep "I feel it deep within "I hate what I've become "I feel it deep within "I I feel like a monster
hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it cause if I let him out
he'll tear me up break me down
why won't somebody come and save me from this make it end"
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster"
the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster"
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster"
I I feel like a monster"
The centre stage glowed a scarlet colour, pulsing out dark energy; as Damien continued, his chains moving against his legs with every step, and his hair covering his eyes completely every time he bent a little lower to belt out a verse or chorus. "Its hidin in the dark "no one can hear me scream
its teeth are razor sharp
there's no escape for me
it wants my soul it wants my heart"
maybe its just a dream
or maybe its inside of me
stop this monster"
The beats in the songs softened as the demons eased off, allowing the growl in Damien's voice to be better heard. The students shifted in their seats, as if getting into the song, nodding their heads occasionally. Damien walked closer to the audience as the song slowed, his evil presence following his every step…
"I feel it deep within
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster"
The demons slammed out again on the instruments, as a wave of heat rolled past, and the centre stage erupted into flames as Damien growled the word "Monster" his voice sounding completely inhuman. A mass of bodies all rose up, as he lifted his head to see them all, lowering his mic, smirking.
The students all opened their eyes in sync, more than 100 sets of glowing red orbs starred back at Damien, who had stopped singing at this point, the music continued, as the demons started to sweat from the heat, fire rising higher as it burnt to top of the hall, searing it black.
And the swarm of students sang back, in perfect harmony; Softer than Damien's own deep voice, creating a melody.
"I hate what I've become
the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster"
The antichrist raised the microphone up to his soft pierced lips, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, seeing his fellow peers join in with him. He lightly tapped his fingers against his microphone, before raising his voice to sing with his followers. "I feel it deep within
it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I gotta lose control it's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster"
"I I feel like a monster
I I feel like a monster"
"I I feel like a monster
I I feel like a monster"
As the song ended, the flames died out, and the demons became nothing more than shadowed figures, returning to the depths of hell. Damien was the last to leave as the microphone dropped to the ground, the screeching noise breaking the hold on the students.
