Chapter 8: Would you leave me, If I told you what I've done?

Lydia regained consciousness slowly and opened her eyes, only to quickly close them again against the harsh light in the room. She blinked rapidly to try and get her eyes used to the light. When her eyesight finally began to focus and she gained control over the rest of her body, Lydia attempted to pull herself up out of the chair she was in, quickly realizing that her arms and legs were tied to the chair with rope. Panic began to take hold of her as she struggled against the bindings.

"There's really no point. I have you right where I want you and I'm not letting go now. When did you become so uncooperative anyways? You were never this way before. It's that demon isn't it." Alex hissed with his back facing her.

Lydia couldn't see what he was doing but she was sure it wasn't something she wanted to stick around and see. She took in the room and immediately knew they were in the basement of the house Alex owned, which laid on over fifty acres of woodland. Part of her felt a bit of relief from at least knowing her location but she also knew there was no other houses for miles.

Taking a deep breath she replied with, "I don't know Alex, when did you become a psycho."

Turning around, Alex smirked before walking towards her and backhanding Lydia across the face. Without a word, he turned back around to a small table full of ingredients and a small brass bowl in the middle. As he continued with what he was doing, Lydia began to wiggle her wrists and try to slip out of the ropes that were securing her to the chair.

"I still remember the first time I seen you. You were a cheerleader then, cheering for a losing football team in that little red and white skirt. You cried that night. You caught your boyfriend Ben with your best friend Mackenzie and you thought your world had ended." Alex looked over his shoulder and chuckled at the terror in Lydia's eyes.

"How...how do you know about that? That happened when I was sixteen. I didn't even meet you until I was eighteen!"

"Ah, just because you had not yet met me doesn't mean I haven't been watching you. It was always you Lydia, I didn't believe it in the beginning but after watching you for awhile, I knew it was you."

"What are you talking about? Who are you!" Lydia screamed.

Alex turned back around and Lydia stared at the sharp blade in his hand with fear. He held the bowl that had been sitting on the table in his other hand and panic set in when she realized what he was about to do. She knew that she had to somehow get free. Alex had obviously hidden them somehow because otherwise, Crowley would have found her by now. She knew the devil's trap bullet couldn't hold him for very long.

"Let me tell you a little story Lyd. Many, many years ago there were twin brothers who wanted nothing more than to follow in their father's footsteps and become the greatest gods this world had ever known. And they did, at least for awhile." Alex stepped closer and brought the dagger down on Lydia's upturned arms. She whimpered as she watched him make two cuts on each arm, holding the bowl underneath to catch the blood that fell. "My brother was a fool and let himself be seduced into a trap. He was killed and I was lucky enough to escape with my life. But not before something very important was taken from me. And I have searched ever since then to get back what is rightfully mine. You see Lydia, time does not heal all things and being immortal gives you a vast many of years to find the person that has wronged you and get your revenge."

Lydia stared at Alex like he was crazy. She had no idea how any of this had anything to do with her. As he said himself, he was immortal and she was merely human. Blood still trickled down her arms and as she struggled against the ropes again, more began to flow.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. The less blood you lose, the better chance you have of still being conscious when I rip your soul out." Alex said cruelly.

"Why are you doing this! I'm just a human, what could you possibly want with me!" She demanded.

"Just a human." Alex repeated than sneered. "Your daddy really did warp your mind. Didn't leave even a spec of information in that human brain of yours did he? To be fair he probably thought I wouldn't be able to find you if you knew nothing. But he forgot one very important thing. I didn't need to find you, I only needed to find the ones that protected you. Making them human was his biggest mistake, they could have never stopped me." He looked over and watched as she slowly worked through his words, and got a sick pleasure from the look on her face when she finally realized the meaning.

"You killed my parents...it was always you." Lydia said with a tear rolling down her cheek.

Alex rolled his eyes and started to light the candles that sat on the table in front of him. Focusing on the book once again, he added more things into the bowl that held Lydia's blood. He looked through the small window in the basement as the full moon outside finally broke through the clouds.

"It's time."

Alex picked up the dagger once more, only this time it was his own arms he cut into, letting his blood drip down into the same bowl. She watched on as he started chanting something in a language that she didn't understand. With Alex distracted, she quickly began pulling against the ropes again with all the strength she could muster. The rope burned as it rubbed against the sensitive skin on her wrists, but Lydia just pushed the pain back and kept pulling. Seconds later, one wrist slipped through and she cried out in relief. Looking over at Alex, she seen that he was still reading from the book, only now he was surrounded in a dark aura that was quickly encompassing the entire room. Lydia untied her other wrist then went to work on the ropes tied around her legs only to be stopped when she was hit by an invisible force, taking all of the breath out of her. When the same energy hit Alex, it sent him to his knees.

"It worked." He grunted from the floor. "I can't believe it actually worked."

Wasting no time, Lydia finished untying her legs, then ran over to grab the dagger that laid on the table. She knew she would be no match for Alex, especially if he really was immortal. So instead of sticking around, she swiftly ran up the stairs and out of the house, disappearing into the woods. Lydia knew she had lost a lot of blood but it only made her push harder and run faster. She had to get away. There was no telling what Alex was capable of now. Out of nowhere, Lydia was tackled from the side, and knocked to the ground, something strong pinning her to the ground.

"You know, maybe if I was still human you would have gotten away. But thanks to you, I have been restored, I am once again an almighty god and have back my power that you stole from me." Alex taunted while holding Lydia to the ground.

"How could I steal power from you when I don't even know who you are!" She sputtered beneath Alex's heavy weight.

Lydia punched at his chest, making her cry out when she made contact. It felt like punching a brick wall. Quickly remembering the dagger, she felt around on the ground for it, sighing in relief when she felt the cold blade against her skin. Picking it up, she shoved the dagger into Alex's chest. Lydia felt dread run through her as she felt his rumble of laughter above her. Reaching down, he slowly pulled the blade out and made it disappear in the next second, leaving behind no visible wound in his chest.

"You could shove a hundred of those into my body and all it would do is tickle." Alex said ferociously. "Now I say we break down some of those walls daddy put up in your head, we'll see what that does to your fragile little human body."

Alex pulled himself up off of the ground with his hand wrapped around Lydia's throat, pulling her up with him. He held her up against a tree as she clawed and pulled on the hand that was blocking her airway. Alex closed his eyes and began speaking the same strange, broken language he had been using earlier in the basement. Lydia screamed in pain when he put his free hand against her temple and it felt like her head was splitting open.

"Mmm, scream louder. No one can hear you." Alex mocked.

He watched as Lydia squeezed her eyes shut in pain, only to reopen them a few seconds later. Alex watched on as her eyes glowed brightly before returning to their normal color.

"Ah there she is. Welcome back my goddess."
