Chapter 2

Marcos Pov:

I had to go back home. I was walking around Echo Creek crying. I just really didn't wanna be with Star, or even see Tom. But I rather be in my room then walking around the town crying. I started to do my best to calm down. And luckily I've became so good controlling my emotions I was able to stop crying after a few minutes.

I was now in front of my house. My eyes were tired and I could tell they were red. I took a deep breath and walked in. There was a banner that said "Happy Birthday Marco" and a cake on the table in the living room. There was a note too. "Dear Mijo, Happy Birthday. You were out for a long time and we couldn't wait anymore. Remember that were going to see your abuelita. Well be back in a week. Star wasn't here when we left but we left her a note. Take care of the house and enjoy your special day. Also, we saw your plan. We think its cute but just go for what your heart says. Take advantage while were gone, love Mom and Dad."

I let out a sigh. I was alone. Again. They saw my plan. I thought I hid that thing but I guess not good enough. I knew that plan wasn't going to work. I been wanting to do that plan for weeks but it wasn't gonna work. Not on her. I didn't even know where it was but that wasn't important to me. I was just gonna call it a day. I was gonna go put on my jam jams and try to fall asleep. I went upstairs and I noticed a gift on my bed. It was from my parents. I opened it up and it was a sombrero. I did need a new one. After the Blood Moon Ball Star took my hat and she lost it somewhere in that room of hers. This sombrero was different from my last one. Instead of all red and the gold designs on it.

This sombrero was all black. It matched my suit that I wore to the ball. It had the same design as my other one. Full of the gold design. It was beautiful. But what really got my attention was the skull right in the front of the sombrero. It was design with red silk. The skull of "Dia de Muertos" (Day of the Dead). I really appreciated the sombrero I set it down I went to get my jam jams. That's when I noticed that the whole chest area of my jam jams was burnt off. I didn't notice that at first. Actually, once I saw that I felt a little sting on my chest.

I took off my hoodie and grey shirts. I looked at my chest and I had a big burned mark on my chest. Tom. When he punched me, his fist was on fire. He burned me. That's when I lost it. I have never felt this angry before in my life. I was screaming. I was punching my wall causing holes. I couldn't take it anymore. "If Star likes demon, then…. then…Ill become a demon!" I yelled. I ran downstairs and hoped there was enough. Luckily Mom just bought another 12 pack. I grabbed them and ran upstairs to Stars room. Going to the only person I knew who knew what I wanted.

"Glossaryck", I yelled. I then heard Stars spell book fly from under her bed going crazy then landing in front of me. The booked opened and then the little blue man that lives inside of Stars spell book appeared. "Marco my boy, what can I do for you", He said. He noticed what was in my hand. His favorite snack. A 12 pack of chocolate pudding. "OHHHH, that's a lot of pudding", he said. "What do you want to know?" "Hello Glossaryck, I was wondering, if I wanted to somehow become a demon, what would I have to do?" I asked. He gave me a concern look. "Marco, that's dangerous magic, knowing you I wouldn't think you be thinking about that", he said. I got annoyed and stuffed his mouth with a big spoonful of pudding. Immediately he forgot what he was saying. "All this pudding Glossaryck, 12 packs, how can I become a demon", I asked stuffing another spoon of pudding into his mouth.

"Mmmm first, you would have to make yourself look like a demon. You can't look human or the spell won't work", he said happily enjoying his pudding. He was now on his 2nd pack of pudding. So, I had to look like a demon. I thought for a minute how I was gonna do that but I remembered the Blood Moon Ball. I went to the Underworld. I fooled everyone and they thought I was one of them.

I opened one more pack and went to my room. I told Glossaryck to wait really quick and take a breather from his pudding. I ran to my room and got dressed. I first put on my black slacks, then but on my dress shoes. I've only wore this suit once and it was that night. Then my white button up shirt with my red tie. Then my black suit with gold details and gold shoulders. I then looked for the mask I wore last time. It was a simple skull that just covered the upper half of my face with a mustache.

Finally, I needed my sombrero, what a time to wear it. It made my outfit look way better than it did with the last one. The red skull made the outfit look more terrifying. I made my way back to Stars room. Luckily she wasn't there. I found Glossaryck on the floor with 12 empty pudding packs. I ran to him. He looked like he was going to die. "Glossaryck", I yelled. He was groaning "Uhhhh, Marco my boy. Too…. much…PUDDING!" he yelled.

"Glossaryck, what's the spell?" I asked. "Marco…too…dangerous", he tried to say. "Glossaryck, I gave you pudding! What's the spell?" I demanded. He snapped his finger and the spell book pages were slipping and stopped to a page. "Read" he said and then passed out, falling asleep. I would've usually read what I was gonna do. There were many spells that turned anyone into different type of demons. I would've read them all but I was eager to get turned into one already. I saw a big fat "DANGER" in black ink on the bottom right of the page. I would've read the warning but I saw it as a sign. I could feel my eyes open. "That's the one", I said. I began to read the spell.

I felt the power coming into my body. The room turned dark. The more I read the spell the stronger I felt. I started to float off the air. A surge of black energy entered the room. Started to circle around me before I obtained it into my body. I then felt a surge of pain. Flames rised and burned my body. The pain last seconds before I realized It wasn't harming me anymore. Then the black energy came into me, I was obtaining the power. It felt amazing.

I started to descend to the floor. I was back to Stars room. It was quiet. I was breathing heavily on what just happened. I noticed really quick my body change. I felt muscular. I wasn't the skinny kid anymore. I felt muscles on my body. I felt stronger. It felt amazing. I started to stretch but got startled as these black objects widened behind me. I spun to see what was behind me but the discovered what those objects were…were a part of me. I had wings. Long, black demon looking wings. I focused, concentrating to make them spread.

That's when I noticed their beauty. I had wings, and they looked amazing. And that's when I noticed something about my hands. I didn't have normal fingers. I had grown claws on my fingertips. Sharp, this was something I didn't expect. While I was staring at my hands I noticed my hands to slowly smoke.

I was now a demon, did that mean I could control fire like normal demons. I closed my eyes concentrated hard and when I opened them. Flames irrupted, surrounding my hands. I had powers, I was able to control the flames. I felt a rush of excitement discovering that the spell work. "I'm a Demon", I said. I even notice my voice changed. I had the same ring but it was just deeper than normal. "I think I should test my power". I was about to head to Star's balcony when I noticed the mirror and saw my reflection.

I was fully able to see what I now am. I spread my wings to expose them. I had about a 20-foot wing span. I lit my hands-on fire to show my power. But that's when I notice the real change. My eyes. Instead of having white surroundings, my Carmel eye color and pupil. My whole eye was surrounded with black with a red pupil. Nothing but black and a red dot. Even my masked had change. It was no longer just a skull. Two long fangs had formed on my mask. Even my teeth had change since I now had sharp fangs then normal teeth. I would've been scared how I look but it seemed that I didn't having the feeling of fear. It seemed to vanish.

I stepped closer to the mirror and stared at my reflection. I was beautiful. The power, the look, it was amazing. I head back to Stars balcony to stare at the night sky. That's when I noticed something new. Everywhere that was dark I was able to see like daylight. I had night vision, I could see anything and everything in the Dark. I smiled, "Time to see what these powers can do". Right when I said that I noticed a portal open in my backyard. Out of it Ludo and his eagle and spider came out. I smiled evilly knowing I got what I asked for. My attitude had change. I didn't care anymore. I was a real bad boy. And I was gonna unleash my wrath.

I spread my wings and took to the air, I was flying like I been doing this for years. It came natural to me. I was stalking them, a predator stalking his prey. "Star Butterfly, come out, I am here for the wand", he yelled. My house was quiet since I was the only one there. All lights were off. "Ummm, I guess no one's home, back in the portal", he ordered. I saw my chance when he turned away. I descended and landed right behind him. He turned around quickly armed with his wand.

He recognized me somehow. "Karate boy", he said. I didn't look at them or they would've ran. "H... how did you do that, you weren't there a second ago", Ludo asked. I looked up and that's when I saw the fear in their eyes. "W…WHAT ARE YOU?" I smiled evilly and he shot his wand at me. A blast of green energy would've hit me till I launched my hands out and shot a blast of fire. The impact caused an explosion of energy. I started laughing. "What are you laughing at", Ludo yelled. He was angry but I could sense his fear. Not only his but in that spider and eagle of his. I guess it was another power I now had. When the smoke cleared they were gone. They were trying to hide from me.

"I needed someone to try these new powers I got, and you appeared like an idiot. You shouldn't of came", I said laughing. That blast was just a small amount of the power I had. I could feel it. I let out a laughter. They were hiding but I could feel their fear. They couldn't hide. They were hiding behind the shed. I let out a little whistle, creating a melody. I slowly walked to the shed and stopped right in front of it. "Come out, come out wherever you are", I said. Silence

I let out another laugh. I was getting stronger by the minute. I could feel it. "I know your back there, do I really have to force you out", I said lighting my hands on fire. There was silence for a few seconds until all of a sudden that eagle flew, holding onto the spider and Ludo holding onto the eagle. "Leave us alone", he yelled as he shot another blast at me from his wand. I easily dodged it. He didn't know I could fly. That's when I noticed my wings were gone. I could summon my wings and hide them when not needed.

I concentrated and when I summoned for my wings, I yelled from pain. My wings were coming from inside my body. It hurt, it really did. Afterwards I took deep breaths from the pain and spread my beautiful black wings. I took off following Ludo. I could still sense his fear. He was at the park trying to lay low. I was there in a few seconds. I was fast, really fast. I quietly descended and landed close to him. When I was close enough I saw, he was throwing up. His two pets keeping watch.

He was finally done "What happened to that boy?", he said. "It doesn't matter, we gotta get outta here", he said pulling out his dimensional scissors. I came out behind the tree I was hiding, the spider saw me and hissed causing Ludo and the eagle to get scared. "AH ah ahhhh, theres no leaving yet", I set laughing. "H…How did you find me, we flew away!", he yelled. "I smiled and spread my wings since I haven't put them away. His eyes widened at the sight of them. The eagle spread his trying to challenge me but I sensed the fear in him.

"What happened to you, you're just supposed to be human", he said. I lost my smiled. I just stared at him. "Was just human, not anymore" I told him. "I was tired of a lot of things, now I have power. And it just feels so good", I told him. "But why are you attacking me?" Ludo asked. He had his wand armed and his two pets ready to attack. "Simple, I needed someone to test my powers on and you appeared", I said. He looked scared now. I would be if I was in his shoes. Even thou he doesn't wear shoes. But that didn't matter.

I now was able to control my powers. I might even have more than what I even knew. "Please just leave us alone", Ludo begged. I laughed. I saw he was getting upset. "STOP LAUGHING", he yelled pointing his wand at me. It was a charging blast. I laughed again. "SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN DO", I yelled and called the flames to my hands. I brought them together ready to fire my own blast. He then let the wand fire that green energy at me. I could feel the anger in it. I let out a loud laughter and shot the flames from my hands. This time the blast was larger than normal. Ludo's spider created a shield really quick to protect the three. I called my wings and wrapped myself with them to protect me.

After I saw the park was now destroyed from the blast. I was ready to just finish them. If that was the best Ludo had it was pathetic. I got to stop holding back. I was walking to where they were. The blast had no effect on me. Out of nowhere a green blast came out of nowhere and hit me. It felt like a little bee sting.

Then I was getting tied up in a web. The blast was a distraction and I fell for it. I was tied up pretty good but my claws would've been able to cut myself out. But before I could break free I was now in the air in the talons of the eagle. I hissed at them before we were high in the air and started to descend. They let me go, still tied up in the spider's web. "Take this", Ludo yelled and blasted me. Making my fall faster. I had hit the earth pretty hard. I felt it. I then heard Ludo laughing. "We did it, TAKE THAT YOU FOOL", he said. I became angry.

That's when I knew how strong I was. When I got angry it seemed like my power increased tremendously. Like when Tom got angry when I took Star from him at the ball. I discovered thats when I knew how powerful I can get. The angrier, the more power. I set a circle of fire around them I got up and started to walk to them. I entered the ring. The fire doesn't harm me. I saw the fear in their eyes. True fear, and I loved it. The ring of fire surrounding use rising getting hotter. "Please, s…spare us", I saw them hugging each other.

I walked to them the circle getting smaller. I was now standing above then. I spread my wings, I raised my hands to the air. The flames of the ring now on my hands, ready to strike them with my claws. They were shaking from fear. "This is what happens being at the wrong place Ludo", I said with a smile and laughing. Right when I was about to end them, I felt another presence.

I stopped what I was doing and closed my eyes to sense what I felt. There was another demon on earth. I tried to concentrate to feel where his energy was coming from. I guess I could feel the presence of other demons. Another great ability. It was coming from my house. It was a powerful demon. A very powerful one. I could feel it. Well I guess the main dish is here. "Well looks like lucks on your side, you can go, but I better not see you on earth again", I told Ludo. With hesitation, he quickly pulled out his scissors and jumped into the portal. We'll since you like to invade my home. Maybe I think it's finally far I invade yours.

I was a demon, there had to be a way to get there. I concentrated. I thought of where I wanted to go. Then flames irrupted and covered me. When the flames disappeared, I was in the underworld. In front of Tom's palace. It had work. I could actually travel dimensions with dimensional scissors. Man, this power was amazing. I could feel the energy of everyone in the palace. Even the underworld. The billions of demons under here. But in the palace, there was about a good 5000. They were nothing compared to me as I was feeling their energy.

I wanted to wait till I felt the presence of a certain demon. It took about 10 minutes when he appeared. It was payback time Tom. I'm coming for you. I walked to the entrance but I was stopped by about 100 guards. "WHO ARE YOU AND WHATS YOUR PURPOSE" they yelled. I let out a loud laughter as I spread my wings and set my claws on fire. "I am Marco Diaz….and I'm here…for REVENGE", I yelled as I launched myself at them. 10 second there was nothing but ashes on my feet. I opened that castle doors. Alarms went off and I saw demons coming from everywhere. I let out a smile. "This is going to be FUN!" I yelled as I took off into the air and at demons.

Every demon I encountered ended with a scream of fear. How it should be. I took out all the guards in the palace. I couldn't sense any smaller energies. Instead I sensed a lot of higher ones. There were about 2000 more demons in this palace. There energies were about 100 times stronger then the last 3000. What a treat. They were all on the upper levels of the castles. It seemed like every floor meant stronger idiots ready to face death once again. I was gonna take the stairs. I wanted this to last.

I want to enjoy this….
