Half Demon

Previously on Half Demon…

Before Tyson had the chance to take one step, a bright light had brought the scene into a better view. Ray's eldest sibling was standing right next to the light switch. Her long black hair covered her face but the expression of confusion was still clearly visible.

Chapter 3: Family Stress

She finally broke the silence. "What is everyone doing up so late at night? And why is Tyson here?"

Ray answered slyly, "Well…you know how long it takes to get from the river to home."

Sango had caught on to what Ray was saying quickly, "Save it Ray. Your sly excuses won't work on me." She spoke again, this time to Tyson, "Tyson it's time to take your leave."

He replied calmly. This time Tyson didn't start a debate about staying for another hour, "Okay. I'll see ya tomorrow Ray…hopefully."

After Tyson left, Sango continued to focus her anger on Ray, "Ray what has gotten into you? Duke, Musica, and I are worried about you."

You could tell by his facial expression that Ray was throwing his sister's anger and frustration right back at her. And by what he said, he was dead serious. No mercy, "Damn Sango. What would you do if you were a half demon like me? I go to the river to meditate so I can keep control over this cursed power. You have no clue what I go through! Be thankful that you're human!"

The room went silent. As he saw tears forming in his brother's eyes, Musica spoke, "Bro I know it's hard to cope without mom being here. We all know she would have helped you grow stronger without losing control. But you've got to help us, okay? Let us know if you're going to lose it. Ray…understand that you have your family right behind you."

Ray started to calm down; though he still remembered that horrible day his mother disappeared.

Ray's P.O.V.

'Five years ago it happened. My mother Ixchelle, (pronounced: e-shell) who was a half demon as well, disappeared. My father hated both me and my mother because we are half demons. Even though I can't remember my father's name, I can still remember that he was cruel and heartless…

On the night before I turned 10 years old, my father kidnapped my mother because he knew quite well that she would teach me different ways to use these half demon abilities. Between me and my mother, we shared a special bond. She taught me everything I know. Thanks to my father, who I now know is dead, that bond was broken…

The next morning when I woke up, she wasn't there. My father told me that she was afraid that I would lose all control over myself and she would not be able to help me, so she left. I knew what he said wasn't true. He didn't know that mother would have done anything to help me keep control over my abilities. Stupid humans…I hate them! I hate them all!'

Normal P.O.V.

Back at Tyson's house

Upon the arrival of his own home, Tyson was greeted by Max and Kai.

Max struck a conversation in his usual cheerful tone, "Hey Tyson, is Ray alright? He seemed really pissed off when he left from practice this afternoon."

Tyson replied with a little worry in his voice, "Yeah Max, he'll be fine. He explained everything to me."

Suddenly, Kai spoke up, "What did he tell you?" It sounded more like a demand for Tyson to tell Kai what happened rather that a question.

Tyson quickly thought of the only answer that he could give his teammates, "I can't tell you."

"Why not?" Kai questioned.

"Because I made a promise to Ray that I wouldn't tell anyone! So leave me alone! If you want an answer, why don't you ask him yourself?" After the final note, he stormed off.

Kai smirked evilly, "He'll crack." ' I know what he's hiding…I knew from the beginning…'

Author's Note: Done! I did all I could to change some things to this chapter without making any big, major changes to it that would throw everything way off track.
