Chapter 6

Crimson Tears

It was the end of a normal day in Terrace. Nothing special happened. No shootouts, no robberies, no miracles...nothing. Just an average day, in this average town. And I, the town's average mayor, was about to head home to my wife and three kids.

All I had to do was lock up.

I turned out the light on my way out of the building. It was the Capitol building of the town. I turned to open the doors. I walked swiftly and opened the door, moving through the open doorway into the outside air. The air was cool. It was October after all. I took a deep breath of the cool autumn air.

"Nice weather we're having, isn't it?" I heard a cold voice ask me from my right. I turned towards the man and stepped back. A long slender hand came out of his jacket and took the toothpick from his mouth, and with a flick of his wrist sent it flying into my face, hitting my cheek.

"What do you want?" I asked quickly.

"I don't want anything." He answered.

"Then why are you here?" I asked.

"We." He spoke.

"We?" I questioned.

"We want this world. If you give in you won't die." He spoke slowly, and clearly, obviously confident.

"And if I refuse?" I asked.

"I'll rip the soul from your dying body..." he stated, as if it were fact.

"You're lying." I said.

"Try me." ............................................................................................................

He walked quickly back to his home, where I was to follow him and make the deal. As I walked my sword softly hit my belt each time I took a step, creating a soft clang. I put my hood on. Wouldn't hurt to keep hidden. I was lucky that it was nighttime, because that's the only time when I can see. Darkness had made my vision worsen in the light, almost blind.

"How much further?" I questioned.

"Oh, just around this corner." He answered. We turned the corner and he walked into a building, I followed. He lived in quite a house. We walked in and I saw how nice his life was....pity.

"Just one moment if you will." He said as I hurried off to my right. I found a chair and sat down. He was up to something. Doesn't matter. No matter what he does, he can't hurt me. I laid back and waited. Five, ten, fifteen minutes had passed before I heard sirens. This fool had called the police. He'd think twice before doing it again.

"Police, open up!" I heard a man yell from the door. I walked over to the door and grabbed the door with one hand and tore it off its hinges, throwing it behind me.

"What can I do for you gentleman?" I asked.

"You are under arrest. Everything you say can and will..." he began, as I reached out and snapped his neck. A loud crunching noise, then his body making a thud against the ground was the only two sounds at the moment.

Then they all stormed in.

The first one swung his club at me, but I ducked, throwing my coat off of me, revealing my two wings, enormous and dark, pouring darkness into the room. The first man, the one who swung his club at me, screamed as I unsheathed my sword and sliced through his belly, splattering blood on the wall and his companions.

Next came two more, armed with the same club, and they began swinging at me. I dodged left and right, ducking when needed. I kicked the first man and used the seconds face as a boost and flew into a back flip in mid air, taking out my second weapon, my pistol, and shooting the man I used as a boost in the middle of the forehead.

Two down, about 20 to go.

The next two came in as the first guy got up, all of them charging me, screaming with rage. I dodged the first one's club, and slashed his throat with my sword, the next one I used my gun and shot him in the stomach. The last man looked upon me with fear in his eyes, and began to back away. He took out his gun as I started towards him, and his companions in the doorway could only look in horror as I walked towards him, blanketed in my darkness. I heard shots being fired, and realized the man I was heading towards was unloading his weapons round into my chest. No matter. I was untouchable now. I felt my darkness at once flow through and close the holes the bullets made, healing me fully. I smirked as I continued, stretching my wings to their full length, an astonishing ten feet across. The man screamed as I reached out and grabbed his throat, pulling him eye to eye with me. I felt our souls intertwine for a moment, before my own consumed his completely, leaving a lifeless doll in my hand. I threw him threw the wall and out onto the street, feeling my soul burn with rage.

I was going to show these men a special treat of mine.

I braced myself, feeling my claws dig into the floor, my wings stretch out, my eyes burn with rage. I concentrated my power into my eyes. My glowing crimson eyes. The men in the doorway backed off, sensing my rage. They began to turn and run, realizing their death was coming. Then I released it. I felt the ground rumble beneath me as my rage flowed through all things, shattering everything, destruction all over.

The policemen disintegrated, their cars blew up. The house around me was destroyed. I turned around as my rage subsided. They were all dead. I hadn't realized, but my power had just destroyed every inhabitant in this world, I could...feel it.

Anititheus would not mind, he enjoyed it when my power grew. He would say I was learning my potential. I found the nearest demon portal and headed towards it. It was in a destroyed orphanage. Ironic, don't you think?

Before I entered, I put on my coat again, pulling the hood over my head. Then I went through. After I had gone through I saw Anititheus approaching me. He wore a smirk on his face, his eyes glistening with pride.

"Good job brother. You are learning." He said.

"But wasn't I supposed to take over the world? Not destroy it?" I asked.

"When did I tell you not to destroy it?" he asked back.

"Never?" I answered, not completely sure.

"Correct. Therefore, it is always a possibility, and I am proud of you, brother. You are becoming more powerful by the minute." He told me.

"I know." I stated as I walked off. I walked to my favorite place to be alone.

It was a high cliff, overlooking the entire dark realm. It was here where I went to atone for my sins.

Here where I still thought of Kairi. The red haired angel. She was perfect. But she was Riku's. But wasn't that her decision? Shouldn't I at least tell her what I felt? What I feel?!? Oh Kairi...how could you forgive me for what I have done?

Could I forgive me for what I have done? Only time will tell, I told myself as I felt the tears drop. What had I become? I was a monster, a demon... I was darkness. I was evil. No one could love me, no one could forgive me. Especially her.

I still love her. After all this. I always will. I need to see her. One last time. To tell her...that I love her...and that I'm sorry. And that I'll always be there for her if she needs me. But what would she say? Could she, would she accept me? How could she accept me? What if she loved me back? What if in the end I really did get the girl?

I brought my hand up and wiped away my tears, bringing my hand into view. Blood. I spread my wings and took off into the darkness...remembering these two words....
