Enoch & Kaede: Blood Paths

Kaede/Lucy Story part five

I walk into that damn stairwell, it looks similar to the one I got my ass kicked, but I think I did wrong, I tried to kill that girl, but who was he? What was he?! These eyes were glowing green; he had talons in these feet, he has claws. And my defeat was…surreal. I see a couple walking, I wish I dint had these things in my head, because if these things weren't there I would have a better life. Wait…Kouta? Yes, is him. I remember this face. He was the only one that considered me a person; he considered me a friend. I know what he has done, and what I have taken from him. I must go, they don't need to see me, I step backwards, and then he screams…he remembers? Then I accidentally say this name, he asks me if I am alright…I make a slight smile. He is astonished by my presence, he doesn't remember?

He calls me…Nyu, what kind of stupid name is that? They are shocked to see me talking, I see their hands, are holding, I push Yuka with my ability, and he comforts her, reminds me of the very moment he lied to me. There isn't a place for people like me, with beings like him, and I depart. But he interrupts me, saying that if there is a place to live, he let me go. I almost go with him, but then the voice reminds me…of what I have done. I try to tell him what I did: "did you forget that much? Because, in that train eight years ago, your father and little sister…were killed, by me."

He looks at me with horror "I remember you, that girl…it was you" he then begins looking down, "I retract from what I have said…go, I don't want to see you" I slowly walk, but I tell him that I am sorry for what I have done, "you are sorry?" he says…in a calm form "and you think, I will forgive you? You fucking believe an apology will make them alive again" he walks to me and punches me in the gut, Yuka tries to rebuke him with a punch, but he pushes her, then he spits at my fallen body and says…tearfully: "you don't deserve anything, don't even a friend" they walk away. He is right, the only thing I can do without a problem is destroying, I turn to the city, and I rest in an alleyway.

A man in a grey and dirty hoodie rest in the same place as me, with a can and a can opener for it, he turns at me, we were facing each other, thanks to the darkness of the night this face was invisible, I readied my vectors, if he is a pedophile, better take care of him. Then he offers me some of this canned meat "you want some?" I grab a little, "here" he hands me a fork, a total stranger, and he is friendly to me?

S (stranger): "what are those things in yer head?"

K: (silence)

S: "wait…horns?"

K: "do you have a problem with them? You will think I am an oxen or something?"

S: "what? No, calm down, cows are animals, you are no animal"

K: "who are you?"

S: "the name is Enoch, and I think we have seen before"

K: "wait…that voice *gasps* YOU?!"

Yes…the guy who defeated me, then he quits this hoodie, revealing a guy of my age, a black guy, but not exactly dark, these eyes were brown, this face was slim, and these nose was slightly big, he had a mustache, also black and short hair. He then begins to look down, he was…sad?

E: "I am sorry, for beating you"

K: "really? You stalked me just for an apology? Mmm ok, I forgive you"

E: "I really apologize for what I have done, Kaede…"

K: *gasps* how do you know my name?!"

E: "I know a lot of things, I propose you something, crash in my home for a day, and I will answer you, even talk"

He told me that he is no longer alive. So he lives in another dimension, I now I call bullshit on that, but then a glowing circle appears behind us, Enoch smirked, "don't be afraid" he said almost mockingly. I decide to see for myself, I needed a place to stay; being a bum is a hard life, I ask emotionlessly: "why are you so kind to me? You saw with your own eyes I tried to kill a kid" this eyes sharpen and he pushes me into the light. I found myself in an impossible place; there is a tiny island, like ten meters long. There is sea around me, and a large shadow? Gigantic, almost as big as….I sees upwards and I widen my eyes, a large castle floating in the air?! A hand reaches my shoulder, I turn my body quickly to see who he is, Enoch of course.

K: "how…how that castle is floating there?!"

E: "calm down, jeez. I can toy with this reality, see"

Then the sea becomes purple, as the sky has the same color, then they return to blue.

K: "I see…you are God aren't you?"

E: "me…God?! How dare you insult him! I am just a servant"

Then a stair comes out of the castle's main door, and we move up, I see that this place is only water, but there is beauty on it. We enter the castle, for the inside there was an elevator, also it looked like a hotel elevator room. He motioned me to enter first, and when we were waiting he was looking at the doors, this expression reminds me so much of how I am now. Finally the elevator stops, revealing…an apartment interior?! This…can't be real! "Enoch, have you drugged me?! What…what is happening" he smirks and says: "rest in my room if you want. Tomorrow I explain" the sitting room was large, with a big window to appreciate the watery vista, close to the window there was a kitchen, and a hallway led to the rooms, I entered Enoch's room and decided to rest there, while he sleeps in the guests room, it can't be the other way around?

I close my eyes…and I enjoy how a comfy is the texture of a bed.

Kaede/Lucy Story part six

…I am still here? I thought it was all a dream…I wake up, and I find myself in Enoch's room. It is a really dark green, a big nightstand, with a flat TV above it attached to the wall. I open the door and I see that there is a room in front of the one I was, then in the left there was another room…Enoch "was sleeping, what our is it?" I accidentally said out loud, he mumbled: "…look at my clock" then I looked at the electronic clock of this room: 9:00. I got close to him…he was not exactly a "perfect Atlas" but, he was the one that let me crash in this house, and let me eat…I slightly shake him, for some reason I was smiling. "Can you explain to me what is going on?" he got up, he woke up, drowsy "what about waking me up in 12:00?" I was determined to know what he was. "Ok, ok. Goddamn, I was a normal boy, unlike you I had a life, I had loving parents, and a few friends. But then I died, God himself is taking me under these wing"

What? He is telling me that God, GOD, the creator of all things is helping him?! "He created my suit, it grants me superhuman strength and resistance, and he transfused some of this blood to me, thanks to it I can "create" powers, but if I kill someone innocent, I will be powerless. Like you I was bullied, in two different schools" I asked him why, he is a human. "Hahaha, you think that humans and other ones coexist peacefully? I was different form them, not physically, but mentally, I was thin, slender, slim. You call it, Oh and short. Also people called me crazy, why? I don't know. For almost all my life I was solitary, in kindergarten no one selected me as a playmate, and most of that time I played alone. I was like you Kaede…different."

"But I needed revenge, I got back to my school, and I teleported all of my enemies, and I scared them, unlike you I could kill, but I chose not to." He grabbed me by my shoulders, "remembers the director? He will kill all mankind with a virus, innocents will die! And the worst of all, he got someone important to you, untainted form sin…your brother" but…I don't have one, "I know, he…raped your mother" mother? He…put this dirty cock…in my mother? I close my eyes, and I guess that I passed out. "No…no, I don't think you can run from this young lady" I can hear him? I open my eyes, and I see him, he pats my head, and he says "I want you to kill him…while I destroy everything to threaten my world, is a bargain?" I need to save my brother…and he is ready to help me…"yes…I do it" I think, I have a friend in the world.
