Chapter Seven
At that moment I thought about running. Running far, far away until I was safe again. Just like how I ran two years ago.
Two years ago, Kyle and I were sitting at the park having a picnic when some punks decided to start a fight with Kyle. Kyle fought and I told him not too. I wished that he would stop before he got himself killed. But that is what had happened. He was shot in the stomach. For a few minutes I just sat next to him and cried. Then I realized that I could save him. The loser punks were then going to fight me but I am not a fighter at all. Instead I just picked up Kyle and tried my best to carry him to my car. I had to run the best I could. The gang was chasing me. I quickly put Kyle in my car and I drove away as fast as I could.
Kyle died about an hour later in a hospital. Then he ended up in Hell. Somehow he used his brain to come up with a very destructive plan to kill all the humans. Except for me. The one mosquito wouldn't kill me because Kyle programmed it to not do so. I would be safe. Maybe the same went for Brian too. I doubted that though. Kyle was a demon now and I found him again. He defiantly was not the same Kyle I recognized on the outside, but he was Kyle inside and that's all that mattered.
I looked up at him.
He seemed to have had a tear in one of his yellow eyes.
"Are you crying?" I asked.
"No...well…yeah. I'm trying not to. Demons don't cry. It's just that…okay fine I'll tell you. I can't believe that I destroyed this World for you. This whole place is full of non-humans now and it's my fault. I love you that much that I destroyed everyone's life for you," he said.
I didn't know what to say or think after that.
"Zombies are humans," I protested.
"Yes…well…there's a difference. You see, zombie brains that were once human brains dissolve a few hours after transformation," he said.
"I see. So anyways," I said.
"Right. Anyways, I will never forgive myself for any of my past actions. Especially the day at the park. The day I died," he told me.
"It was the worst day of my life," I said.
"It was my worst day as well. But we are together again. Maybe not the same way as before but I was promised that I would be human again," he said.
"You didn't-" I started.
"I did. Now there's no time for that now. We got company," he said.
I saw Brian and Nellie walk into the room.
Tania and Zach followed them quietly.
Everyone stopped moving and froze when they saw Kyle holding me up in one arm.
"Hi guys," I said nervously.
"Phoebe, you are so dead," said Brian.
"What are you gonna do, Brian? Nothing. That's what you're gonna do," said Kyle.
Brian half smiled.
"Well, well. I think I've figured this whole situation out now. Hellboy likes Phoebe. Phoebe likes Hellboy. We're all screwed now. Well wait until you hear this, demon, Phoebe is taken. She was once engaged to someone named Kyle. Now I am here and I am with her." Brian lied.
"Lie!" I shouted.
Brian glared at me.
Kyle tensed up and started to get ready to fight.
"Phoebe, this is not a lie," said Brian, calmly.
"It is too a lie! I'm not dating you! And I never will!" I yelled
"It's okay Phoebe. I know," Kyle said quietly to me.
"Shut up, demon!" yelled Brian.
"Don't tell him to shut up!" I yelled back.
Brian looked at me confused.
"Phoebe, what is going on?" he asked.
Kyle put me on the ground and I walked over to Brian.
"If you even try to kill the demon, I will kill you," I said.
Brian chuckled darkly.
"The demon will die. I don't know why that thing is so important to you but you have to stop this now," he said.
"Or else?" I questioned.
"Um…Or else…I'll kill you both," he said.
"No. You can't kill him. He is my friend. My best friend. You know him too. He's your brother," I said angrily.
"What? What do you mean my brother? Both my brothers are dead! Look, I know you miss Kyle but you really have to move on. He's long gone. You just have to let go," he said.
I was getting very angry and my stomach turned and tied into knots.
"Shoot," Brian said calmly.
"No!" I yelled.
Nellie, Zach, and Tania all shot their guns at Kyle.
I ran towards Kyle to defend him.
I was shot twice in the arm while running to him.
"Stop!" yelled Brian.
The bullets stopped firing.
I was clinging onto Kyle, shaking in fear.
"Stop it!" I screamed as tears of anger sprang from my eyes.
"Just stop it! All of you! None of you understand!" I yelled.
"We understand…Perfectly," Nellie said darkly.
She walked over to me.
I looked up at Kyle and saw why he wasn't getting angry.
He was asleep. At a time like this? I saw that he was hit by some tranquilizer darts. I then noticed that I was also hit by one.
"Damn you all," I said.
"Good night, Phoebe," said Nellie.
We lost the fight. I drifted off into a deep, dark sleep.
