Chapter 12
Death Note
"Chandra! Where are you? Faith! Frankie! Chastity!" I ran in from the broken from door with the rest following being me in stride. The time it took to get back from Epiphany was a lot shorter thanks to Clover; he made all the trees go to one side of the forest. How? I'll never know. The beach house was pitch black, I found the light switch flipping the living room light. Nobody.
I turned around; bad move the four came crashing into me each other. "Samuel, go look for Starling and take Windy with you. Joey come with me I might need your power."
With that said I ran into Chandra's room, "Chandra! Chandr-"
I whirled around facing Joey in anger for being interrupted. "Connor, look"
I looked over to where he was pointing, in the corner Chandra was crying over Starlings body. I ran over to the two of them, "Go, get Samuel and tell him that we found Starling"
I was about lightly touched Chandra's shoulder when jumped up on guard, shock overcame me. Her t-shirt was ripped from the shoulder and she had a bed sheet wrapped around her waist. And I couldn't begin to describe how much Chandra was beaten up "Knives!"
I was pressed against the wall with sharp knives closing in on me. "Chandra! It's me Connor!"
The knives fell to the ground as she ran into my arms crying. It was at times like these I whished I had more people skills. I wrapped my arms around her, "Chandra what happen?"
"Starling is dead" she muffled out into my shoulder.
Samuel ran in at that same moment, "Starling!"
It was these types of moments that I tried my best to avoid, but it was way harder when there were other to protect from the bad guys. This time it wasn't just one bad guy that was hard to kill, it was Eric who had many warriors working behind him. This is the man I am going to kill.
For the rest of the night all I could get out of Chandra was a nod 'yes' or 'no'. She was frozen, I even tried to connect with her but she just had to strong of a block. All I got was that Faith and the others were safe, but I just don't know where. And I can't get an straight answer of what demon attack her, and I listed all of the demons I know.
I laid her down on my bed in my room, over at her beach house there was just too many reminders to her. I notice this when she would cuddle into my chest when we walked out into the living room.
I pulled up the covers gazing down at her trying to make contact with her beautiful eyes but she turned away covering her face in covers. I turned off the lights, "I'll just be in the other room, if you need anything just call me over"
She merely nodded. I silently walked into the living room where the three were either sitting down on the couch or leaning against the wall. Samuel had left for Epiphany with Starlings body; he wanted a proper burial of his little sister. "Chandra is in shock, I can't get anything out of her"
"What do we know? Besides that the three of them are safe. Somewhere." Clover said.
"What do we do now?" Windy said crossing her arms insecurely. I could sense that she was afraid of what might come next, heck she should be.
"An unknown demon attack them" I said glancing at my bedroom door every five seconds. I knew the answer of Windy's question; we had to travel into the dark side of Epiphany in order to kill the demons Eric sent and then kill him. Slowly and painfully.
A scream came from my bedroom; I was the first to run in. Chandra was on the ground crying trying to get up. "Chandra what happen? Are you hurt?"
"Guys, I have this under control."
The three of them left closing the door behind them; I scooped her up bridal style laying her on the far side of the bed so I could watch over her. Chandra hair was no longer the soft hazel brown but black. And her beautiful eyes that gave ignited sparks were blank with shock.
When I leaned over to get the other pillow Chandra arms flew up in defense and her eyes squeezed shut as if I was about to hit her. I pulled back in worry, "Chandra, please tell me what happen"
Chandra's eyes opened and she gazed into my eyes for the first time since I came back. I gently pushed some of her now dark brown hair behind her ear; I grabbed her hand and lightly kiss it.
She tried pushing herself up, I gave her assistance so that her back was now hitting the bed frame. Chandra grabbed both of my hands; I felt her mind open up. Before I could try communicating memories flooded with little parts from earlier, worry turned in to complete anger. In one of memories I saw Chandra getting beaten down to the ground, the next I saw the face of the person that left her broken.
He was no demon, a bloody human did this. He was on top of her; he had tied her hands to the door wall lamp. The next memory made it clear, he had raped my Chandra. The last memory was of him spitting in her face, "You were a good fuck, but hey virgins always are. Now I've taken something from your boyfriend, tell him that if he wants you alive that he needs to give me London's baby."
When my vision came back she was curled up crying into a pillow, I pulled the pillow away grabbing her into me. I wanted her to know that I'm here to protect her, nothing was ever going to happen to her like that ever again. The only thing keeping me from a rampage was that I knew that I couldn't leave her alone. Not when that bastard was after her, I wasn't going to leave her alone ever again. Not until I knew that monster was dead and burned to hell.
"Chandra, I am going to kill that monster for what he did to you"
