I'm not a monster
Chapter 2 : Fear
( Internal point of view : Damian )
I keep shaking after what I just saw on television, Doctor Ziggurat is already looking for me, and the government risks killing me if they ever find me, damn it ... Why me? I swallow in anguish, and the more powerful my fear, the more the darkness of Hades invades the walls of my house, the chains circulate in the shadows above my head, my heartbeat quickens when I hear Kerbecs growl in my ears.
Mom is trying to call me. I answer him.
- … Hi Mom ?
- Hello my darling, how are you ? You were no longer responding to my messages, is something wrong ? She asks me worried.
- But ... Mom, haven't you seen the news on TV ?
- My darling, you forgot that we went to the mountains for work, we don't have television where we are, why ? What's wrong ? Did you take part in a new Beyblade tournament ? She questions me, it's true that each of my fights were seen by my parents.
I have been judged many times on my behavior by my parents, and I can understand them, but you have to believe that they are not yet aware that the government and Ziggurat are after me now.
- Damian ? Why don't you answer me, has something happened to you ? Mom asks me with a worried voice, I hold back my tears so as not to crack. I would like to cry out to her in time that I need help, that I am in great danger, but it will not come out of my throat. The darkness extends over and over to cover all the walls of my house, I hear the police sirens outside, they approach more and more. I get up from the couch, abandoning my dish and hanging up my phone, leaving my mom worried.
She tries to call me back several times without my being able to answer her, I go upstairs to hide in my room, at the back of my closet.
- Damian Hart ! We know you are there, please come out immediately with your hands up.
I jump with terror, I can already hear the soldiers of Ziggurat with them, take out their thruster and their tops, I cover my mouth to limit the slightest noise of my body. I tremble strongly, thinking of what could happen to me if Ziggurat ever finds me.
The darkness of my universe of Hades intensifies to the point that outside, the others hear Kerbecs growl aggressively, now they know that I am okay here, I turn off my phone, hugging Hades Kerbecs in my hand. My breathing becomes choppy when I gently open the door to my closet, despite my disgust for dust and dirt, I crawl on all fours on the floor to my hallway where the rope hangs down to the stairs. from the attic. I never liked going in there, it's full of cobwebs, dust and no doubt full of disgusting germs. I grab the rope and pull on it, quickly climb the stairs and close the access behind me.
The attic is filled with old furniture that Dad keeps here, there are even some boxes containing my old baby toys, my kindergarten or college school records and old war relics that would have belonged to my grandfather on the side of my mother. He was in the military, and he promised me that when I grew up, all of his relics would come back to me.
There are all.
Ammunition, old postcards and photos, badges and badges of army soldiers, a logbook where he wrote all his history when he was at war and the most interesting. A real hunting knife, grenades and a revolver, this is especially what I wish to have in all its relics.
And to think that Mom wanted to sell it all. I take up arms with me if ever Hades Kerbecs cannot protect me, the effects of the perfecting will soon disappear from my whole body, and without the perfecting ... My powers are nothing.
Even though, since the brain surgery I had, I still feel overwhelmed with power. I should be delighted, as the soldier told me I now have the opportunity to plunge all the bladers in the world into the underworld of Hades. However, why am I not happy about it ?
- What is happening to me... ? I sigh as I curl up in that attic next to my grandfather's chest, my world continuing to grow even bigger in my parents' house, so much so that I can see Kerbecs walking towards me with his eyes. scarlet. He stops a few meters from me.
- You find me pitiful is that it ? I ask him.
I can feel that's exactly what he's thinking. Downstairs, I hear the soldiers returned home, shouting at me to get out of my hiding place, others talk about my darkness invading my home. Hell that spreads like a disease, waiting to engulf them all and plunge them into despair, I don't move. I listen to their footsteps in my house, looking for me in every nook and cranny except in the attic where I am, because I have to go up the rope to prevent the hatch from being opened, I don't make the slightest noise even if my heart is terribly loud.
I'm afraid.
- Damian, show yourself. Stop hiding, it's no use. No matter where you go, we will find you, your destiny is to belong to Ziggourat. It always has been and always will be. A soldier declares to me, banging on a wall, my heart squeezes with fear, literally cutting off my breath. I can't breathe anymore, I have to catch my breath and because of the dust my throat becomes irritated and I start to cough heavily, indicating my presence to the soldiers in my house.
- He's in the ceiling ! I hear them screaming, I get up immediately to open the only window in the attic, leading to the roof of my house, I take the risk of going through the window and up on the disgusting roof of my house.
I cling to the tiles to climb higher and pass to the other side, but before I get there, I see a beyblade top pass me by, injuring my arm sharply. I scream in pain, stumbling in the same second and fall heavily in the back garden of my house. I moaned heavily as I held my injured, bloody arm, and the fall took my breath away.
- I touched him ! He fell on the other side. Shouts another soldier, I force on my body to be able to get up and run as fast as possible to escape. Running away from them, I run at full speed, crossing my neighborhood to the street beyond. They chase me so I don't stop, I run over and over through the night city until a car suddenly brakes in front of me, blocking my way.
Two men come out, pointing guns at me.
- Don't move, get down on your knees immediately. One of the men yells at me, the other cars are about to arrive. And the other two who put pressure on me.
Fear invades me, I grab my thruster out of despair and draw Hades Kerbecs.
- Kerbecs ! Hades Drive ! I scream, my bey forms my wall of flame, burning the two gunmen until they become a pile of ash ...
No ... No, I didn't want that.
Hades Drive grows bigger and bigger, burning everything in its path and protecting me in its flaming embrace, there are cries of panic, the fire trucks rushing to put out the devastating fire. the city around me, all my fault.
I didn't want it to be like this. It's not my fault, I didn't mean to, I didn't do anything wrong.
- Get away from me ! Leave me alone, I beg you. Go away ! I scream scared.
Kerbecs take shape in the flames of hell, eyes bright scarlet, spreading his chains against the HD academy soldiers wanting to grab me, I see blood and ashes absolutely everywhere, it makes me want to throw it all up , I decide to run away again. Walking through the flaming debris of the city, I even climb onto the roof of a building, but I make the mistake of turning around to see the damage I just caused by my madness and evil powers. until I heard a gunshot, a sharp pain washed over me the next second.
A trickle of blood trickles from my lips, I look down to find a gaping hole that pisses blood on the right side of my stomach. My vision is cloudy, my whole body is shaking to the point that I lose my balance and collapse again from the top of a roof, I start to feel very cold as my blood spills on the floor.
I try to catch my breath sobbing hard, I can't hold back my tears anymore, it hurts so much, will I really die here ? Maybe it's better this way ... I'm a monster after all, I just killed several people, but I just wanted to survive. All this delirium about Hades, plunging the world into chaos, it was just a fantasy ... I didn't want that to happen ... I reap the fruits of my actions. I still feel blood in my mouth, I still spit it out, holding my stomach full of blood, I really don't feel well.
- Shhh ... I hear just above me, I see a strange man, a bearded man with brown hair, a clean white shirt with jeans and black boots armed with a shotgun, put a finger in front of his mouth to tell me not to make noise. I can't move, he rolls out a thick blanket, rolls me up in it and carries me to his car. I can still hear the HD academy cars behind the building, the fire is still very present in the city, like the cries of panic.
- Don't worry, kid, you don't risk anything with me. He whispers to me as he places me in the backseat of his car, taking me with him away from town.
