Chapter 4

Jackie just stood there staring at the sky as she just saw her own friend turn into something terrible. Jackie just shook of the wired feeling in her stomach and ran to Stars aid.

"Star…Star you ok?" Jackie asked shaking the girl on the floor. Star slowly opened her eyes and stood up. "W-What happened?" Star asked. Jackie could only stare at the sky.

"Is your friend okay?" Jackie asked her. "Tom!" Star shouted and both girls ran to his side. Tom stood up a hand on his forehead.

"Tom you okay?" Star asked the demon. "Yeah I'm fine what happened?" Tom asked the two. "I wish I knew." Jackie stated also clueless as well. Tom walked up to Jackie and stared at her.

"Umm...what are you doing?" Jackie asked. "What did he say?" Tom asked. "Oh right um he said 'you may have won the battle but the war isn't over' then he laughed and flew away." She told the two teens.

"What are we going to do?" Star asked a bit scared for her best friend. "I…I don't know." Tom said ashamed that he wasn't powerful enough to fight the possessed Marco.

Marcos P.O.V

I was walking down the empty hall ways of the mall. Surprisingly everyone was minding their own business until. "Hey!" I hear a familiar and annoying voice behind me.

I turn around to find the little annoying kid from karate class in the mall. "Well if it isn't little boy Diaz what's wrong mommy couldn't make it to the mall?" He said while making a sad crying like face.

Marco only smiled and walked up to him. Before the kid could say more Marco grabbed him by his head and pulled him up to his face. Marco opened his eyes and they were glowing blood red.

"Say that shit again and see what happens." Marco stated and he dropped the kid on his knees. The rich kid looked at Marco with widen scared eyes, "What are you?" He said.

Marco only smiled and his eyes grew brighter and he kicked him in the face dropping him. "Your worst nightmare." And with that Marco walked away from the scared little boy.

As Marco was walking he was suddenly stopped by chains wrapping around his whole body. Marco looked at the source and he gritted his teeth. I Standing in front of him was Tom. "Miss me Diaz?" Tom mocked him.

"Looks like the old rag came back to play." Marco stated his eyes turning red again. Demon Marco smiled as electricity started to come out of his body.

"You ready for round two?" Demon Marco stated as the chains broke and he charged Tom. When Demon Marco punched Tom his whole body turned to dust. "What the?" He was cut off by the hooded man knocking him out.

Normal P.O.V

Marco opened his eyes to see that he was in a dark room. Both his hands were held by chains and under his feet were what looked like a circle made from salt.

Marco looked around his surrounding then he saw the hooded man from school. "What do you want with me?" Marco stated struggling with the chains.

"Simple I need you dead or the Demon half of you at least." He stated. "Who are you?" Marco shouted at the man. The man took off his hood to reveal his black hair a scared left eye which was blinded.

"The name's Luscious." Luscious stated with a smile. "What are you going to do with me?" Marco asked. Luscious only looked at him then unlocked his chains and took off the salt barrier.

"My plan won't work if I have you so run along now and be wiry." Luscious said and disappeared into the shadows. Marco exited the building and began to walk back home.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Marco demons self shouted at him. "What do you think I'm heading back home" Marco shouted at the voice in his head?

"Ugh you're no fun Diaz." Demon Marco complained to him. Marco only rolled his eyes and continued walking he finally reached his house and he opened the door.

When he opened the door he was tackled by Star as she gave him a big bear hug. "Where the hell were you Diaz? You had me worried sick!" Star shouted as she let him go. Tom looked at him the asked, "What happened to you?" he asked.

"Let's just say I was bit distracted." Marco said rubbing the back of his head. "With what?" Jackie asked him with a small smirk. Marco only looked away with a slight blush on his voice. "Nice work kid." Demon Marco said sarcastically.

"Oh shut it you." Marco said aloud to himself. "Interesting." Tom said thinking deeply. "What is interesting?" Asked Star a bit curious as to what Tom has to say. "Marco and his demon self are talking to each other." Tom said aloud.

"And your point is?" Jackie asked now joining the conversation. "If they can talk to each other that means this curse of his is permanent." Tom said looking at Marco.

"That reminds me what is this curse anyway?" Marco asked him. "Long story short only those who are deeply hurt will this curse activate." Tom explained.

"Deeply hurt what do you mean by that?" Jackie asked. "He means emotionally." The trio turns around to look at Marco which his eyes are glowing red.

"What do you want?" Star growled at the demonic Marco. "Easy now Blondie I'm not here to fight but to merely inspire." He stated. Star was about to throw a punch at the demon but Tom stopped her from doing so.

"Explain now." Tom asked looking at the cursed human/demon. "I will only appear if Marco wants to help someone or get revenge on someone as well." Demon Marco explained.

"The more emotion Marco has." Demon Marco said. "The stronger and the more time you will last out here in the real world." Jackie finished his sentence.

Demon Marco nodded and looked at Tom. "Now for my question why are you here?" Demon Marco asked Tom. Tom only looked at Star.

"Of course you would." Demon Marco teased Tom. Tom blushed and looked away.

"So what now?" Star asked. "I don't know about you but I'm going to bed." Marco said and walked up the stairs. Everyone else left as well.

Little did they know that Luscious was watching everything happen. "Only time could tell when the demon falls." And with that he disappeared into the shadows.
