Devil In Me (D.I.M)
There always has to be a bad guy for a hero to defeat. Someone for everyone else to shun, that is how the world exists.
When the other kids saw flowers, they thought of pretty things.
I thought of funerals.
I was different from those humans, I hated them. Humans were stupid, fragile and weak, they shattered so easily when you tried to touch them.
Like the flowers
I learnt that when I lost person most important to me. It had happened out of nowhere. He had just gotten released from the hospital, when he went missing.
It was the morning of my 8th birthday that he died. I remember waking up and finding myself alone. There were no indication of where he might had gone, nothing, it was if he had chosen a random direction and set off just like that. Like he had vanished, into thin air.
They found his body three days later. It had washed up on the banks of the river just north of here. Mana Walker, foster father of Allen walker, age 25.
and also, the only person I ever cared about
Apparently he had slipped and fell into the river while walking and drowned. A"tragic accident" they called it. But that was impossible,
Mana could swim
he could swim very well. He had saved me from the flood 10 years ago after all, the flood that had taken my family from me. I didn't believe it. I KNEW differently. He'd always been edgy, I knew that one day he would break from the stress of taking care of me. When I saw that still body, something clicked inside of me, I immediately understood what had happened. The way That body looked was so...peaceful. As if revealed that It had finally left and broke free of the chains that bind-ed it to the world. He had betrayed me, left me alone in this world and taken the easy way out to freedom.
all because of me
R.I.P Mana Walker
It was at the funeral 3 weeks later that I finally met him. I always knew that this day would come. In the rain, He was so dazzling when he appeared before me. Droplets of water, ran down his light brown hair and his eyes glowed like red-hot coals, burning into my soul. There were so many flowers, so many that they surrounded him like brilliant little fairy lights. He glowed
like an angel
A small bit of warmth flared in me, the first emotion I had felt in these long weeks. A wry smile twitched at the corners of my lips, not quite sane. "have you come to take me for what I did?...to hell?" The warm blood of my foster family dripped down my hand. Their bodies piling in disarray around me. The I clutched his cold body closer to my chest. Ba-dump, BA-dump my beating heart sent pulses of warmth through my chest.
Humans were fragile, stupid and weak and yet...
a tear slid down my cheek as I closed my eyes
and yet...
why couldn't I let go of them?
He looked at me, those eyes betrayed no emotion. "No Allen, you are hell" he whispered softly.
Of course
I was the devil after all
The deep sound of his voice was like the bitter-sweet melody of a piano. Something forbidden, yet captivating. "open your eyes"
I opened my eyes
and then, finally as my pulse faded
silence
"Are you awake yet? You will serve as the devil of the underworld until you meet your contractor"
"until then, you will be free to roam … But the world you see won't be a pretty one"
...
"Yes father"
