Chapter 8

Demon Within

A girl leaned against a wall as across from a pub. The music coming from the pub could be heard all around as well as the bikers outside who all laughed and joked with one another.

The girl smirked when she finally saw a new biker arrived and parked his bike in front of the pub. She watched as the biker shook hands with the others and went it.

The girl got up and soon crossed the street and entered the pub, ignoring all the calls and whoops from the bikers who followed her in. Not that she mind.

The girl took a moment to glance over the pub until she found the same biker she was looking for and walked towards him.

She didn’t care that she was the only one in the pub who wasn’t a biker nor did she care about the stares and words they were giving her.

The girl then stood beside the bikers table and smiled at him.

“What can I do for a beautiful girl like you?” the biker smiled sweetly at the girl, who smiled back,

“I think you know what you can do for me.” The girl answered,

“Oh really? And what’s that?” The biker his seat towards her,

The girl smiled wider then looked up revealing her eyes for the first time and the biker’s eyes widen, “Return what is mine.”.

“For crimes against the church and his name. We damn you demon!” a priest yelled and the crowd agreed.

“I see you still are as what you are meant to be.” a sinister voice said to a girl who stood in a river of bloody and dead.

The girl however didn’t say a word back but kept still and silent.

“They are just humans after all. They are toys to be use and played with.” The man said as he enjoyed the sight around him.

The girl finally breaking free from her frozen state, turned towards the smile with an emotionless look.

“What? They are what they are and we are what we are. They live and die. We live and play our own games.” The man smiled,

The girl then glared at the man and soon black mist chained him.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! RELEASE ME!” the man yelled as he struggled in his bonds,

“You said you are what you are and that is a liar. It was you who set them against me so you can have this. But you forgot what I am and because I am what I am that I will now make you pay for playing with me.” The girl smiled,

Soon new blood filled the river and another body was added.

“One day I will take what is yours. You will regret destroying what is mine.” the voice said and echoed.

Do you remember now?” the girl smiled at the man in her grip as she held him up in the air,

“You! You should be dead and bound!” The man yelled,

The girl however smirked, “Didn’t you hear? I was released by his decedents. And now I will take back what is mine as you have stolen it from me.”,

The man screamed and the girl threw his bloody body down. She then smiled at the blood form that emerged from the blood on the floor.

The girl soon was implanted into the wall and the blood form finally formed into a man who smiled at the girl.

“Like it? I can see why you were feared now. This power you gain by devouring Nothingness has been wonderful.” The man smiled,

The girl laughed at the man, “It has hasn’t it? But now I need it back.”,

“Aw! And we were getting so close.” The man joked then smiled, “But I think I would make you suffer as you done to me Ki. It wasn’t nice to destroy my body and make me live in different human vessel each decade.”,

Ki laughed, “After what you done to me so you could have some fun. I think it was only fair, Liar.”,

Liar smiled and shrugged, “True. But it has been fun. But I guess it’s time to end you.”,

Liar gathered a dark mist all around him and shot it at Ki who cried in pain. Liar smiled at the sight and laughed, “Now you know what it feels like to feel this power.”,

Liar then froze when he heard a laughter coming from Ki and saw her smiling at him, “You really are a fool.”,

“What?”,

“Did you really think that this power who choose me would harm its master?” Ki smirked when she saw Liar’s red eyes widen,

And soon the dark mists surround Liar who fought and screamed. Ki jumped down and touched the dark mist and soon it surrounded her hand.

Nothingness wasn’t devoured by me but spared. He wanted to die and I granted him his wish and in return he gave me the one power that can equal Krept. Now die!” Ki’s eyes flashed and soon devoured Liar into nothing.

Ki smiled to herself when it was over then walked out of the pub. She then crossed the street and smirked, “Now the fun shall began.”.

The moonlight shone over a room, waking a girl who laid in her bed. She groaned then rubbed her eyes as she opened them to see where she was.

The girl then sat up and looked to the window where the light was coming from. She threw the covers over and got out of bed and headed to the window.

She looked out the window and saw the moon shining so bright and light blue rays shining through her. She smiled at the moon then felt a tear flowing down her as she closed her eyes.

A little girl was crying on a hill away from everyone and everything. Why she was crying it was because she found out what her family has been keeping from her and why they treated her the way they did.

The little girl continued to sob and rub her eyes. She then jumped when she heard a warm voice say, “Do not weep anymore child. I am here.”.

The little girl felt warmth all around her, she then looked up to see a woman smiling warmly at her but for an unknown reason she couldn’t see the woman’s face only her smile.

“Pray tell why your heart is troubled?” the woman asked kindly,

The little girl sniffed then wiped her tears away, “Mommy and daddy have been hiding something away from me. Even my older sister.”,

“What have they been hiding?” The woman asked while the little girl’s hair,

“That I have a weak heart. I heard the man say to mommy and daddy that I will not live long. That I will die when I turn 15. That’s why they have been so careful and nice to me.” The girl cried,

The woman held the little girl in her arms and placed her cheek on the little girl’s head, “They didn’t mean to hide this from you. They just did it so that you can be happy. They did what they did cause they love you.”,

“But I heard mommy cried to the man to save me. She told him to save me.” The little girl sniffed,

“A mother love’s is strong. She loves you far more than you can see and understand. I know it pains you to think you are the reason why they are sad now but do not weep more. For now go home and tell them that a better place is waiting for you.” The woman warmly said,

The little girl pulled out of the hold and smiled at the woman. She then was shocked to see tears fall from the woman’s cheeks.

“Why are you crying?” the little girl asked as she wiped the tears away,

The woman smiled sadly at the little girl, “It because I am alone child.”,

“But I’m here.” The little innocently said,

The woman laughed warmly, “Yes. You are. But I am alone. In here.” The woman pointed to her heart, “The one I love was taken from me and I do not have the power to rescue her.”,

The little girl bit her lower lip and hugged the woman, “I’m sure you will get her back.”,

The woman smiled at the hug, “She has been taken to a place I cannot enter. I have failed her.”,

The little girl looked sadly at the woman then down on to the ground. She then decided, “I can help you.”,

The woman looked at the little girl warmly, “No child. I will not ask this of you.”,

“You didn’t ask! I am offering my help! Daddy says we must help others who need help. You help me when I was in pain now let me help you!” The little girl looked fiercely at the woman,

“What you ask is something that will hurt and pain you more than you are feeling now.” The woman placed her palm on the little girl’s cheek,

“I don’t care! I will help you!” The little girl remain stubborn,

“Very well.” The woman agreed,

The little girl smiled, “What do I have to do?”,

“Wait. You have to wait for the night when the moon is at its most high and light shines bright. The dawn after you must go to the one you love but failed and give her what I have left for you.” The woman instructed,

“But I won’t live that long.” The little girl frowned,

“Do not worry child. For your kindness I will bless you with this. As long as you have this within you, you may live but when the day comes you must give this to the one you love and failed. But when you give her this, you can no longer live. Will you still do this for me?” The woman asked,

The little girl looked up for a moment then gave a serious look and nodded, “I will.”,

The woman gave a warm smile then kissed the little girl’s cheek and soon warmth and life filled the little girl.

When the little girl opened her eyes, she saw the woman was gone but her warmth remained. The little girl held her cheek where the woman had kissed the nodded.

‘I will keep my promise.’

“Where have you been?! Don’t ever do that again!” The little girl’s mother cried as she hugged the girl tightly,

The little girl was shocked to see her mother like this. It broke her heart but what broke her heart even more was her father on his knees crying and her older sister standing beside him crying too.

“You idiot! Don’t you dare run off like that again!” Her elder sister yelled,

The little girl then felt warmth and happiness filled her heart. She could see now how much they loved her and nodded.

“Good dream?” a voice asked,

The girl slowly opened her eyes and saw a man leaning against the window next to her and nodded, “It always has been.”,

The man smiled at the girl, “I envy you.”,

The girl chuckled, “There’s nothing much to envy. I only have one last day.”,

The man frowned then took the girls hand in his, “And I will follow you after too.”.

Ki walked in board daylight as she stood in a waste land filled with nothing but an old shack and broken down car.

She smiled when she saw that she wasn’t alone. In front of her stood a man who wore a hood hiding his face while smiling back at her.

“A long time.” The man said,

Ki smiled and nodded, “It is. Especially for one who is now wasting away.”,

The man pulled down the hood and revealed himself. Ki smirked at the sight, “Long time priest.”,

The priest smiled back at Ki, “I’m no longer a priest now since you turned me into what you are. I am however known as Fallen.”,

Ki grinned, “You named yourself. Or did he? The first and last time I saw him was in my dreams. No more than 20 seconds.”,

“He did cause of how far I fell from god.” Fallen said,

Ki laughed, “It suits you well. Now for what I came for.”.

An intense battle broke out within Ki and Fallen. Fallen had tried to wound Ki but it was useless since Ki had gotten most of her powers back.

Soon Fallen found himself being throw meters away. He slowly brought himself to see Ki smiling at him.

“I see that it was useless to take you head on. I’m happy I decided to deceive you and her but failed to gain what I wished for.” Fallen smiled,

Ki then glared, “You will regret harming her.”,

“I don’t think so.” Fallen smiled,

Ki was confused at why he was smiling about then her eyes widen when she saw Jessica, Krystal, Lin and Tiffany tied up and hanging in the air.

Release them!” Ki ordered,

“I think not. I made a deal with Krept that if I helped him enter this world he will allow me the power to gain what I seek. And seeing that you were far more stronger than before, I needed something that was dear to Kira to hold you back.” Fallen smiled,

Ki glared at him while her eyes flicker back and forth to him and the girls.

What can I do?’

‘Use my soul.’

‘But!’

‘I can feel your other half here. It is here.’

‘What can I do? He has them both!’

‘Buy time. For now let him push you, hurt you. Use my soul to heal you but make sure that he pushed you to the centre. It’s there, underneath.’

Ki growled then her all emotion and feeling were gone from her eyes. She then stood up still and straight.

Fallen was a bit surprised to sense nothing coming back Ki but that didn’t stop him from hurting her.

Ki was tossed and thrown all over the place. But she didn’t feel any pain closed she closed herself up. All her emotions, all her feelings. Every bit of her being was sealed away.

Soon, Ki was fell back first to the centre while Fallen smirked.

“Now it has begun.” He said as a dark circle drew out from Ki and soon black pillars shot up.

Thunder roared and lighting stuck as the dark clouds gathered and circle in the sky. The sun was now gone and the light along with it.

Ki stood up but to only find herself chained up by the darkness beneath her. Soon more chains came wrapping around her as hauling her body up to the air.

Fallen burst out laughing, “Now! Come Krept!”,

Ki looked down to see the dark circle opening up and to see flames burn under. She then saw a hand reaching out, trying to break free.

Ki then closed her eyes.

‘Use it.’

‘But…’

‘Use it… Trust me.’

Fallen smiled at the sight of the hand slowly pulling its way out to now arm length but his smile fell when he felt cold all around him.

Soon the thunders erupted and lighting struck the ground, creating a hole in the centre. Fallen’s eyes widen when he saw dark mist crawling out from Ki to where the hole was and to the air where the girls hanged.

Fallen tried to stop the dark mist from reaching the hole but it was too late, as soon as the dark mist was inside a dark force shot, blasting everything around it.

Jessica coughed as she lifted her face off the ground to see where she was. Her eyes widen when she saw Kira’s body on the ground lifeless and another girl who was familiar to her standing over Kira.

Krystal too started to wake up. She turned around to lie on her stomach and saw what Jessica was seeing. Her tears fell when she saw Kira lying there lifeless.

“Ki…” Jessica whispered and the girl over Kira smiled at her,

Yes. That is me.” Ki smiled,

“She looks just like Kira.” Tiffany said as Lin held up her in her arms,

“Yes. She does…” Lin whispered as she stared at Ki.

Ki then looked down to Kira and frowned. ‘I will avenge you.’  Ki promised before turning around to face Fallen and Krept who was almost free.

“You’re too late! You can’t stop him now!” Fallen laughed,

Ki then glared at him, “No. But I can avenge her and all that you hurt.”.

Ki’s dark mist gathered around her hand and she shot it at one of the black pillars crumbling it completely. Fallen growled at he charged at Ki who caught him in her palm and gripped his neck.

She made him look into her eyes and smirked, “Feel the suffering you had put me and all around me through.”,

Fallen screamed in pain as he felt himself being burned inside out. Ki tossed his body away then gathered more dark mist to her hand and shot it at the second pillar.

Ki was about to gather her power again but was sent flying by a fireball that shot behind her.

Ki stood up and glared at the man who stood in front of her, smirking, “Thank you for killing him. It was annoying dealing with him when he wasn’t even like us.”,

“Krept.” Was all Ki said,

Krept smiled, “Yes. Since I knew that you would destroy the pillars I decided to take his body and use it for my own for now. Since I could only sent my line over.”,

Ki scoffed, “And who was it that said human’s are disgusting?”,

Krept shrugged, “Something’s are best pushed away so that we can have what we desire. Now…” Krept growled and smirked at Ki, “Time for some fun.”,

Krystal held Kira in her arms as she cried and tried to wake Kira up. Jessica was beside Krystal, crying too but her gaze turned away when she heard Ki’s cry of pain.

Jessica’s eyes widen when she saw Ki being pierced through her chest, “Ki!!” Jessica screamed as she was about to run to Ki but was held back by Lin,

“Are you crazy! There’s nothing we can do!” Lin yelled as she tried to hold a raging Jessica back,

“Let go of me! Ki needs us!” Jessica tried to break free of Lin’s hold over her,

“Stop it! We will get in the way!” Tiffany yelled and Jessica stopped moving, finally realizing that Tiffany was right. She would only get in the way.

Jessica continued to cry as she looked down to see Kira’s lifeless face,

‘Why her? Why them? What have they done to earn all this suffering?’ Jessica cried in her mind,

‘Jessica.’

Jessica’s eyes widen when she heard the same voice whisper in her mind.

‘Do you truly wish to save them?’

‘Yes! I want to save them! I want to end their suffering and give them happiness!’,

Then remember.’

‘What?’

‘Remember.’

‘Who are you?’

‘I am …. And you are …’

Jessica’s eyes widen when she felt warmth shot through her. She felt like a burden had been lifted off her shoulder.

‘Sooyeon.’

Jessica smiled when she heard a different voice. She then reached out her hand towards Kira’s face. Krystal stopped crying when she saw Jessica’s hand touch Kira’s cheek and saw Jessica smiling and crying.

Ki was thrown across the ground but managed to get back on her feet time to block the next fire that came at her.

Ki panted hard as she glared at Krept who smirked at her. Ki knew that all of her powers haven’t return yet but there was little she can do now. She had to believe in her.

“You really are the only one who I always wanted to end. Your love for this world and the humans disgusts me. Even your love for that angel.” Krept scoffed,

Ki growled and shot her dark mist at Krept who easily blocked it but was surprised when Ki hand was through his stomach.

Before Ki could pull out Krept grabbed her hand and kicked her hard, sending her flying back.

“Human bodies! Such weak things! No wonder you are weak!” Krept yelled at Ki who was struggling to sit up,

Ki panted as she watched Krept gather fire around his hand and walked to her with a smirk. Ki gritted her teeth when she saw Krept about to shoot his fire at her but her eyes widen when she saw a white light disburse the fire.

Krept turned about and was shocked to see a girl with white lights all around her.

Sooyeon..”  Ki whispered,

The girl smiled at Ki, “Sooyeon or Jessica which ever works for you.” Jessica then glared at Krept, “I won’t let you harm her anymore.”,

Krept smirked then shot another flame at Jessica who blocked it and shot another light at him. Krept dodged the light then gripped the ground and magma erupted towards Jessica.

Jessica held her hands up about to block the magma but a wall of dark mist came and blocked it. Jessica then felt herself being lifted up and set down.

She then saw Ki’s back in front of her, “Don’t do that again. I am the one who will protect you.”,

Jessica smiled then placed her hand on Ki’s back and strengthen Ki, “Same here.”,

Lin and Tiffany watched the intense fight in front of them while Krystal only stared at Kira who was slowly coming back.

Krystal caressed Kira’s cheek and smiled at her, “I’m still here beside you.”,

“I can’t believe Jessica is an angel!” Tiffany said,

“I know! I mean sure she’s pretty and all but an angel!” Lin replied,

“So you think she’s pretty huh.” Tiffany glared at Lin who jumped back,

“Not as pretty as you babe!” Lin quickly said,

“Still the same.” A voice said,

Lin, Tiffany and Krystal all turned to where the voice came from and saw Rin there smiling at them.

“Rin!” Lin ran and hugged her sister, “Where were you?! What happened?!”,

“Long story but now we need to do something about Krept.” Rin nodded towards the fight,

“But what?!” Krystal asked,

Rin looked at Krystal then at Kira who laid lifelessly in her arms. Rin felt her tears wanting to come out but kept them in.

“Jessica or Sooyeon isn’t at her full strength neither is Ki. We need to push Krept to the centre of the ring to immobilize him so we can kill him.” Rin explained,

“But how?!” Lin asked,

“This where I can help.” Darkness said as he came from behind Rin,

Lin’s eyes widen, “But Ki said that you will be devoured by Krept if you join the fight!”,

“That’s right but since now Ki holds my line, Krept can’t devour my powers only my physical form. That should be enough to empower Ki more force Krept to the centre.” Darkness nodded and smiled.

Darkness then walked to where the fight was and gathered darkness at his palms and held it up to the sky and threw it at Krept.

“Is he serious?!” Lin asked her sister,

“Yes. And so am I.” Rin nodded,

Lin tightened her eyes on her sister, “What are you hiding?” Lin knew her sister was keeping something from her,

Rin gave a sad smile to her sister, “You know that I was never meant to live this long and that I was meant to die at the age of 15.”,

“What are you saying?!” Lin now was panicking,

Rin went and hugged her sister, “This is my last day alive.”.
