Chapter 2: Apocalyptica
Apoloiptica
NOV, 15, 3001...The entire earth was thrown into an apocalyptic state with barely any humans remaining... Haruka kada was one of the few remaining humans that weren't effected by the trauma earth endured. He was 21 with dark brown hair and hazel eyes...
He stood on the curb of his home town scouting for any infected or invaders planning to take over it. Braelynn Huxley was a survivor of this stupid apocalypse and was pissed off knowing she lost her family. She was 19 years old with long dark blonde hair and icy blue eyes. She walked down the streets of where she once lived, Seeing if there were any other people left or if she was alone. There had to be other people. Haruka turned to see her coming down the street, he waited as she came closer and called out to her. "Hello" responded looking at her.
Braelynn stopped in her tracks when she heard someone call out to her. She turned to see a male looking in her direction. "Hey!" She said back as she walked closer to him. " Its nice knowing that I'm not the only one alive. "she said with a smile. Haruka held his hand out to greet her. Braelynn grabbed his hand and shook it. "My name is Braelynn." She looked around to see if anyone else was around. "You're on your own as well?" She asked.
"You're not really a talker are you? She asked with a small laugh.
"I am" he replied just any put his hand on her shoulder and made a fist in the distance she saw a small hidden gun emerge from his sleeve as he shot a red laser out in the distance, it hit an infected human that was making its way towards the town causing it to explode with blood gushing everywhere. She spun around to see what he shot at and saw that it one of the infected. She only had one encounter with one but she couldn't do much but run because she didn't have any weapons. Still didn't. "Where can I get one of those?" She asked looking at the small gun again.
The small gun went back into his hand in the shape of a metal gauntlet around his wrist. "I have a few spare ones back in my house, hopefully I can find one that's right for you" Haruka signal is ally to follow him back to his house. Braelynn smiled with excitement as she started to follow him. He seemed trustworthy and interesting. She wondered if he lost family like she did. " Do you think there might be more survivors?" She asked looking at him.
"I wouldn't be surprised considering how big Earth is and how many were killed nearly instantly" They reach the man's house it was an old two-story house with black paint chipping away at the wood the door looked as if it was about to fall off the hinges. They scavenged around in his basement before finding one of his spare weapons. "Nice house you got here." She said looking around before following him down to the basement. When they got to the basement she couldn't help but feel freaked out. She never really did like basements. Once he found a weapon she gave it a curious look. "You will have to teach me how to use it. I never used one before." She said feeling stupid. Haruka took her back outside and showed her how to use it, you clench your fist and the pressure against the gauntlet will cause it to shoot a strong laser able to go through nearly anything. He demonstrated by aiming it toward an old abandoned shop firing a single laser straight at it. The laser destroyed the door and then erupted in an explosion.
Braelynn watched as he demonstrated how to use the gun. When he shot it off she was a little nervous yet fascinated by the gun she would be given. "Can I try?" She asked. She just wanted to see if she would be able to handle it. Though it was pretty cool that a gun like that could do that much damage. He nodded handing it to her. She took the gun from his and examined it at first before aiming at a door that a run down house had. With a small intake of breath and letting it out slowly she pulled the trigger, which caused her to take a step back because of the recoil and watched as the door exploded into pieces. "Wow." Was all she could say.
Just then faint moans could be heard out in the distance, Haruka turn to see a large crowd of infected headed their way. "Really now?" He turned his fist in their direction with an annoyed look on his face. The man began shooting lasers hoping to take them all out. The group of infected lit up in bursts of light. Braelynn also started to shoot at the infected. It was definitely causing a racket. Hopefully they wouldn't lure more infected by all the noise. Once they were all taken care of she turned to Haruka. "I think we should get moving. I don't think there is much for us here anymore." She said to him. "Maybe we can find more survivors."
"Alright let's head out" he said as they made their way in the opposite direction out of town. luckily he had a vehicle that was still operational, it was an old Mustang that he seemed to keep in good condition. As they drove all they saw was a blank road with nothing else to be seen but dirt and sand as if they were driving in the desert. She was silent for some of the drive, thinking about everything she had lost. She looked at him, "Did you lose anyone in this disaster? She asked. "I'm so sorry." Was all she could say. She knew it was hard losing the things most dear to you. "If it makes you feel better...I lost my family and friends." She had nothing really special like books to have lost but losing what she did was hard.
They pulled up to a large store that seemed to still have working lights but flickered every now and then. Haruka got out headed for the front door with his gun ready. Braelynn got out and slowly followed him. Glancing around and making sure no infected were around. Once they got to the front door, she looked up at him. Waiting for him to open the door because honestly.... she was too scared to.
He nodded to her. Haruka slowly open the door a little hesitant to go in, he carefully made his way inside and flicked on the switch. A few Isles were knocked over but it was in better shape than he thought it would be. "We should look for supplies or anything else that would come in handy later" Braelynn nodded as she started looking around. She mostly looked for non perishable food items. That way they wouldn't expire quickly. She then went and looked for first aid items. When she went down one of the aisles she saw something she wished she didn't see. It caused her to freeze. A tear slowly rolled down her cheek as she looked at the dead body of a small child.
Haruka came over and covered her eyes. "Don't think about it if you focus too much on it you'll just feel worse" He walked her way to a different aisle and handed her a tissue from his pocket. The boy continued to search the remaining part of the store when he came across a teen around his age hiding in the back.
"Come out Haruka responded aiming his gun in their direction. The boy came out having short dark hair and red eyes with a scar going across one of them. "Who are you he responded. She took the tissue, "Thanks." She said wiping here eyes and then blowing her and wiping her nose. She would take Haruka's advice but it would probably take some time to get over what she just saw. When she heard Haruka talking to someone she came over and looked at the boy. She put her hand on his gun and looked up at him, "Don't. He isn't an infected." She said as she looked to the boy.
He looked up in fear holding a sword. "I mean no harm," he said shaking. "I was lost and took shelter here in the building, but I'm afraid that I'm not from here." Haruka lowered his gun Crossing his arms waiting for his allies response to the matter of what they should do with a random stranger hiding. "Kind of suspicious finding someone here alone when it takes a vehicle to get to this town everything else and every direction is basically desert for miles" Braelynn took notice to that too. She didn't see another car out there when they got here. "If you're not from here...like you say....where are you from?" She also noticed the scar on his face and wondered how he got it but she wasn't going to ask about it.
"There's the point," Eric said still keeping some distance. "I just appeared here, from where I come from." Haruka took out a scanner to detect anything wrong with Eric, a blue light scanned his body up and down and the results came back negative.
"Hmmm, there doesn't seem to be any sign of infection but I also don't believe in time travel maybe you got hit in the head and you have an amnesia yet you somehow retained the knowledge of your own name which normally people lose nearly all knowledge during amnesia aside from their usual habits" Braelynn looked up at Haruka and back at Eric, "He may not be a time traveler....could be teleportation?" She questioned. "I mean yeah your theory sounds accurate too but with some of the high tech stuff people have been raving about before all this....that could be possible."
"Yes, I'm not a time traveler. I was teleported to you... dimension." Eric said trying to find away to run because of fear of them figuring out what he really is. Gavin helped the man to his feet and told him to put his knife away as the boy pulled out his spare gun. "Here, it's not in the greatest shape but it will do better than a sword. I myself am a big fan of swords and katanas but when this first started that was not enough, I had to resort to using long-range weapons" Eric didn't move, "trust me where I come form we don't have guns. I'll be much more help with a sword if you want me to stay with you guys."
Braelynn thought for a moment, "I think if he is good with the sword then maybe we should just let him use it. See how it works?" She suggested. "If it doesn't work then you can show him how to use the gun." She just wanted everyone to be comfortable with the situation they were in.
"Thank you," Eric side wondering why they were being so nice. "All I know how to use is this sword and one other thing I'm not proud of. Gavin began making his way outside the store packing everything they had found in the trunk of the car. "Alright are we ready to head to the inner city? that's the largest City in the easiest place to defend ourselves" Braelynn looked at Eric with a confused look, wondering what he meant with what he said. She didn't know if it was her place to ask so she just let it go. For now at least.
She followed Haruka outside and nodded to what he asked. "Better defense Better our survival." She said with a smile. Braelynn looked at Eric as he stood outside the vehicle. "Are you coming?" She asked him. She looked at Haruka trying to figure the situation out and then looked back at Eric. "Honestly...you will be more safe with us." She said with a smile. Eric hesitated but decided that they know the land more, it may be best to go with them." Yea I'm coming but on one condition." Haruka sighed listening with his hands on the wheel.
"What is your condition?" Braelynn asked. Eric was just full of surprises. These two guys were definitely interesting.
"That if you two ever figure out what I really am, you be scared and won't judge me by the reputation my kind gets."
"Why don't you just tell us what you are just to get it out of the way..." Braelynn said just wanting to get it out in the open.
No that time will come were I have no choice but to tell you, because that will be the only way to keep us alive when a giant heard of the infected are surrounding us." Eric said shaking noticeably. Haruka started the engine ready to go.
"Yea lets go Braelynn" Eric responded. Braelynn got into the vehicle and put her seatbelt on. She was kinda tired so she was thinking maybe she would take a nap. She fell asleep as the long drive continued towards the inner city. After about two hours of driving and running over crowds of infected they finally reached the inner city.
"Finally we're here" Haruka got out of the car and quickly loaded himself up with weapons he got out of the trunk. He put a device on his right arm that was capable of detecting infected for 3 miles. "Hopefully this will come in handy" He waiting for the others to get out and get their stuff. Braelynn slowly woke up and got out of the car. She stretched before walking to the back of the car. Once she did she gathered up her things.
"So where to now?" She asked looking at Haruka. She may have been here once but she pretty much sticked close to home. They made their way into the city, Haruka making sure to stay focused on his radar for any infected. Just then aloud screech rang out and his device went off, he looked to see multiple dots on the screen headed towards them. Haruka opened fire at the group of creatures.
"There is so many of them! Are we going to be able to take them all out?" Braelynn asked as she started shooting at the infected as well. Eric swings his sword and cuts the head off one." Stand back."
"Start the car!" Haruka charged up as much as he could firing a powerful laser in their direction, a large group of them were blown to pieces. There still a lot of them, Braelynn get in the car please, Haruka leave and come back for me later." Eric puts his sword in it's holster and black smoke surrounds him. Braelynn ran over to the car and got in. She quickly turned the ignition on. "Come on!" She called out to Haruka. She then saw the black smoke. "What's happening?" She asked sounding concerned and confused. "JUST GO,PLZ," Eric screams, "ILL EXPLAIN LATER, JUST PLZ." the black smoke engulfed Eric and then grew 15 feet tall and black wings that made themselves visible through the smoke. The two quickly got in their car and drove full speed toward the large crowd of infected. Haruka Rammed straight through the large crowd taking out half of them.
Braelynn looked shocked as Eric turned into something she had never seen before or didn't even know it existed. "What is he?" She asked not taking her eyes off Eric as they drove off. As the smoke cleared, it showed Eric 15 feet tall and with black wings and glowing red eyes. He held out is hands and fire lit in his bare hands. He held his hands up and quickly pulled them back down witch reacted in a cloud of flames engulfing him and the entire heard of infected.
The two continued to Drive fiercely through the town. "Hmm, seems most of the infected were already waiting for us, cuz I don't see really any infected around here" Haruka commented before stopping at a store that seemed empty by any humans or infected. Moshi fell from two stories, how she was still alive, she had no idea but her arm was screaming in pain. It was bent in such a way that she couldn't even call it an arm anymore. She couldn't feel her left leg anymore. Moshi didn't have the willpower to scream out for help, not that she could anyway. She was a mute. She closed her eyes and listened to the world outside. It sounded as it always did in this area. Quiet. People would find her.. if they didn't she guessed it was her own bad luck. After dealing with the heard of infected Eric looked for other survivors and found Moshi. He kneeled down and out one hand on her arm and the other on her leg. He was healing her. After he was finished he help her up and ask how she was feeling.
Moshi must've been laying there for a full 2 minutes before this stranger had found her. She could hardly believe her luck. Why he was helping her, she didn't know the answer.. but she was grateful. When he asked her how she was, Moshi simply nodded and gave him a thumbs up. She inspected her arm, it was like new. So was her leg. She frowned at this, but shrugged it off. Moshi tapped the man and made hand gestures, "Where are you going?" Hopefully he understood her sign language.
Braelynn didn't answer him. She was breathing heavy and shaking out of fear of what she just saw. What was Eric? Why didn't he tell them about what he was? She quickly got out of the car and started pacing and muttering to herself. Trying to come to grips to what happened. Haruka decided to go in himself since she was apparently losing her mind. Meanwhile Eric was taking Moshi to meet the others, "so can you not talk or something." He asked in the nicest way possible.
After a few minutes Braelynn was able to calm herself down. "Okay. Okay. Its fine." She said to herself as she walked into the store as saw Haruka rummaging around. "Are we looking for more supplies or are we camping here?" She asked him. Moshi shook her head. She curious about the man. She grabbed his hand and squinted at it. She knew healers, but had never seen one with real healing powers. It was fascinating to her. She gave him a quizzical expression and let him go, stepping back. Looking around, it was nothing but a waste land. Moshi turned and walked away, without informing the man of where she was going. She had the tendency to do that a lot, wander off without telling anyone. Again, not that she could 'tell' anyone. Pulling out the knife in her right boot, she held it with a firm grip. Sharp and ready.
Wait where are you going," Eric shouted after her. I think I might be able to give you a voice. Meanwhile Haruka said: "We're looking for any kind of supplies we can get our hands on" Braelynn nodded and started helping. She was getting tired and just wanted to rest but obviously it wasn't safe to do right now. "What did you do before all this?" She asked Haruka.
" I wanted to be your horror writer" Haruka said has he rummaged through an organized Isles of pharmacy drugs and pills.
She didn't stop walking, but looked back at him, waving for him to follow her. Moshi had a far lead on him, it was his decision on whether or not he wanted to journey with her. She paused for a moment in front of a reflective slab of glass, leaning against one of the infrastructures. Her appearance was awful, but looks didn't matter out here. Her cargo pants were tearing at the hems, along with the tattered black tank top. Though her army-brown hood cloak provided protection against being seen, she really needed some real armor. Yesterday she was almost killed by blood lusting creatures and only fortunate enough to escape with her life. Moshi had Asian features, but anyone looking at her from a distance wouldn't notice under all the mud and dried blood on her face. She looked ghastly. Turning away from the glass she continued her walk.
"Wait Il come with you," noticing she was looking at her reflection he wonder if she had thought she had to give up what she looked like. "Hey follow me, well go find a near by mall and pick up some clothes for us and the others, "I bet you would have been really good at it." Braelynn said as she looked through travel sized shampoos, conditioners, and body wash. Who knows.... maybe they would find a working shower somewhere. "I definitely would have read your books." She said giving him a smile.
Moshi thought he was a strange man and was only slightly suspicious of his intentions, yet she nodded. Pulling her hood over her head and keeping her facial expressions to a minimum, she let him lead the way. After an hour of walking they finally came across a mall. The doors won't open because of power, but Eric swung his hand towards the doors and the busted open. "Come on let's go get you some new clothes."
Meanwhile Haruka was still rummaging through all the garbage he was able to get his hands on some cash but at this point in time cash was nearly useless since all people did to get stuff was take or find it, but he decided to collect money anyway in case it did come in handy.
As Eric and Moshi was walking through the mall Eric spotted some walkie talkies. He went and grab a bag and put ever single walkie talkie he could find in it. There where two in each pack and he found 20 of them so if they found anymore survivors, they'll be set. Then they came across a clothing store." Go on, go gets some clothes you like." Eric looked at Moshi and smiled. She frowned, not seeing the point of this. Her first mission was to survive, not to look good. Nevertheless she walked into the clothing store, her eyes wondering over the few remaining clothing on the racks. Moshi looked over her shoulder to find the man staring at her. It was unnerving to her. She didn't know his name or his intentions. Picking pants and similar black tank top to her own, from the hangers and made her way towards one of the cracked mirrors. She didn't bother with using the changing rooms, they stank of rot. Moshi changed into the black pair of leggings. They were tight, but flexible. The tank top was slightly to small as well, but it didn't matter to her. She kept her cloak and before returning the man, she grabbed one of the cargo side bags on the counter.
I bet you feel a lot better." Eric looked at her and was wondering if she was ok with him doing this for her. "I'd just realized I never asked for your name." She nodded, watching him. It did feel better to be in fresh clothing. She pulled her sleeve up to reveal a small tattoo on her wrist 'もし' she traced her finger over the name. Mouthing the name. Trying to copy what she was mouthing, he unconfidently said, "Moshi" She smiled and nodded, letting her sleeve fall. She pointed at him and then at herself, making hand gestures. "What is your name?" My name?" Eric hesitated but said confidently, "Eric, and feel special a human knowing a demons name could give that human control over them, if the human knows their a demon."
Moshi wondered into another store, finding an assortment of jewelry scattered on shelves. Why did these materialistic items mean so much to women back in those days? She turned the glistening stones over in her hands. It was fascinating to her. Moshi was so enwrapped in her inspection of the jewelry she didn't notice the creature lurking behind her. She was shoved forward, causing her to smash her head against one of the shelves. Teeth sliced into her neck from behind, causing a gush of blood to fountain from the bite. Warm red liquid poured down her chin. Pain enveloped her, then nothing. Her eyes glazed over and she lay dead with the shattered jewelry. The creature chewed at her flesh, crunching on bone. Moshi was dead.
Braelynn wandered around the store to see what else she could find. She opened a door that led to the storage area of the store and saw a group of infected. Luckily they didn't see her as she shut the door. She walked carefully to Haruka. "We have company." Eric came back to the clothing store to find Moshi dead. He felt bad but it was survival, and as far as he knew he couldn't bring people back from the dead. So Eric gathered every piece of clothing and everything thing else the looked useful. He managed to find some tents and some sleeping bags, more than enough form just them three. He used a located spell he learned to locate the other to and they weren't that far way. Maybe a couple of buildings.
Haruka and Braelynn came walking out when Eric showed up in front of them, they asked where he had been. Braelynn had a hard time looking at Eric. She wanted to be okay with what had happened but for some reason she couldn't. Not at that moment at least. He should have warned them of what she was like she asked. Just then Haruka looked across the city and noticed something on the side of a building. He took out binoculars to see a satellite. "We need to get to that building" Haruka announced pointing to it.
Im sorry I didn't tell I didn't see as important at the time. I'm a demon but know that you know that. that mean you could have control over me as well cause you know my name. I can do unspeakable things if commanded to." Eric said shaking and hoping for forgiveness. " Oh, and I found these clothes, walkie talkies, sleeping bags, and tents in a near by mall. I also found another survivor but she didn't make to journey." Eric explained still shaking. Braelynn looked up at Eric and sighed, seeing that he was shaking. This must have been really hard on him. Without thinking it through she went over and hugged him. "It's okay." She said softly. She then released him and turned to Haruka. "Well lets go then." She said. She turned back to Eric, "Bring the stuff with you and we can go through it when we get to the building." She said then started walking towards the building.
Eric sighed in relief, he didn't want either of them upset. He picked up all of the stuff he fond and started to follow Braelynn. He was glad to have a friend who cared. He still was sure if Haruka like him though and if he didn't. Eric was willing to do anything to let Haruka know that he could trust him. They reached the building in just a few minutes, Haruka managed to unlock the door with small parts he had found in the store without damaging the door or lock. As the two followed behind, he went up the stairs to the 7th floor where he finally found the control panel for the satellite.
"Hmm, now...how does this work?" He turned it on and surprising it seemed to work normally. Braelynn stayed downstairs waiting for Haruka to do what he wanted to do. She looked around the run down building, wondering what this building once was. Eric did the same," looks like an old TV station building." A large screen turned on showing a DVD that was in the player next to it. They watched the movie "Sinto's War" finally relaxing for once until Haruka fell asleep...
Eric just watched as the other two slowly fall asleep because demons never slept. So he just looked out for infected to come. Just then a transmission began coming in on the TV, it was a man with a creepy masking. "If anyone can see this transmission, I need you to know that the number of infected is multiplying by the day, at this rate we will be killed by these undead bastards...we should just end it before we become part of them" Braelynn shifted awake when the transmission was played. She watched carefully and looked to the others when it was over. "We will survive." She said. "If we stick together it will be fine." She said reassuring them and even herself. She sure as hell wasn't going to die.
Well I know I'm going you die but I will help make sure you guys do." Eric said with a assuring voice. "Braelynn, we need to find a library, don't ask why I'll tell you when you get there." Eric said he while packing some things to take with them. "We'll come back here, it try safest place right now."
"You are not going to die, Eric." Braelynn said with a stern tone, "I'll make sure of it." She listened as he told her that they needed to find a library. She looked at Haruka, "Do you know where the library is here?" She asked. He shook his head still fatigue from waking up. "I've been here as long as you, so I don't know much about it" Has to be close, I can try to locate it." Eric closed his eyes and inhale deeply. Then he shot his eyes open. "Northeast maybe about three miles from here.
"Well let's go then." Braelynn said as she stood up and stretched. She was curious on why they needed to go to the library but Eric said he would tell her when they got there. She headed towards the exit and stepped outside, it had grown dark. It will be ok Braelynn, I won't let anything hurt you or Haruka. I promise," Eric put his hand on Braelynn shoulder.
Braelynn looked up at Eric and smiled, "I know you wont." She then turned around and called out to Haruka, "You coming?" She just wanted to get off the streets before the infected got to them. She thought at one point that they come out more at night. Haruka followed behind rubbing his eyes.
As they approached the library, Eric told Haruka to stay in the lobby and for Braelynn to follow him. Eric took Braelynn to the basement were the off limit books were. Eric brushed his hands on some books and stopped on this reddish brown leather book. "This is the book of demon control spells, the only thing you need to make the spells work is the demons name. I want you to look at the spells, learn them, Memorize them, so you can use me to defeat the infected when we need to. These spells a demon dose.
Not and can not know cause it can turn them to unreachable darkness, And I don't want that." Eric was trying not to cry in front of her cause he didn't want to make her upset. " Stay down here and read this book, I'm going up there to keep Haruka company. If anything happens down here or up there and you haven't finished reading the book just take it with you and come to us, ok."
Braelynn nodded but was confused as she took the book from him. "Why me?" She asked him. She wasn't against it. She just wanted to know why she was the one to do it and not someone like Haruka. He seemed more tough and would be better at something like this. I don't know Haruka like I know you. Haruka been to himself since y'all found me and I know that you have the heart that you would never make me do something that would make me dark." Eric then walked up stairs to accompany Haruka.
Braelynn watched as he walked away. She looked down at the book and sighed. This was going to be a lot of reading and memorizing. Luckily she had a photographic memory so that would be in her favor…
Haruka stood at the counter of the lobby staring at the entrance for anyone or infected to come through. Just then he thought he heard something faint outside... He went over to the window and his heart fell to his stomach, the largest group of infected he's ever seen was headed towards them.
"You've got to be kidding me!" he yelled. He readied all his weapons for the coming battle... When Eric got up stairs and heard Haruka yell. Eric looked out the window and was struck with unbelief. "Braelynn, have you by any chance, I don't know already read a like a teleportation spell and the gain control spell.
"Are you kidding me?" She called back. "You just left me so I just started reading!" She yelled. She quickly flipped through the book to the gain control spell and quickly reading it a few times. She then read the teleportation spell a few times. "Okay! Got it!" She said as she came up the stairs, book in hand. She saw all the infected, "What the hell? There are so many!"
"Recite the gain control spell and then say my name after that say the teleportation spell then say where you want go and who you all want to go." Eric shouted Braelynn nodded and recited everything he told her to and then said their names. After saying the location she wanted to go they teleported.
They came to a house that sat next to the ocean. It didn't look as beautiful as it used to be but it was the only place that came to her mind. Braelynn turned to them and smiled. "This is my family's beach house." She said, "This is the place I felt more at peace than anywhere else. We came here every summer." She looked to the ocean and sighed.
Eric looked out to the ocean as well. He held up his hand and the water stated to ripple. Then a ball of water came out of the sea and towards Eric. it was like he was holding it but not touching it he made a small bottle with a cork appear in his hand then put the water in the vile. He close the cork and the put it on a chain he ad found it the mall.
"Here you go, now you'll always have a little part o the ocean with you, and that's not all. I enchanted the water so that way when you look into it, you see the happiest memory you had here. Come tell if it worked." Eric looked at Braelynn waiting for her to look into the water. Haruka walked over next to them and waited for Braelynn's response. Braelynn looked at Eric in the eyes before she took the water from him. She looked into the water and her mind went straight to when her twin brother and her were just laying on the sand talking about their future. What they wanted to do and what they thrived for. They were watching the sunset as they talked and stayed there for hours after that.
Soon she came back to reality and smiled, while a few years fell from her eyes. "Thank you." She whispered.
Her brother had died any before everything happened. He was walking down their street when a drunk driver hit him and killed him instantly. She saw it happen because she was waiting for him outside their house. So you like it." Eric look at Braelynn hoping for a good response.
Haruka took the water and looked into it...he saw him and his best friend hanging out, doing everything teens usually did and it faded from the water.
"I love it." Braelynn said. She turned to Haruka, "What do you think of it?" She asked him. Haruka, what are you doing, all you do is ask for one. But it won't last long it's not water from the place that you had the memory." "So what do we do now?" He responded handing it back to Eric before walking over to the shore starring out in the distance as the sun was going down. Well if Braelynn teleports herself and I we can go get everything out of the TV station. We can camp here." Eric looked at Braelynn waiting for her to make the command, listening for her voice.
"Why doesn't she stay here, she already brought us here" He took the book and found the spell. "Here it is..."
"Haruka, what are you doing. Hope you know you have to chant the control spell first" Eric shook his head and laughed. Haruka begin to chant and then said Eric and then the location... Haruka finished saying : Haruka and Eric. Like before black smoke swirled around them and covered them in darkness. When it blow away they were at the TV station again. Haruka saw infected all over the place, he slowly moved through the halls toward the control room. "Get the supplies while I watch the doorway" The man announced.
"Ok it will be a snap" Eric snapped his fingers and everything was ready to go. "Again he chanted and finished saying: Braelynn's beach house, Haruka, Eric" Black smoke once again swirled around the two and they were back to Braelynn. Braelynn was sitting in the sand looking out at the water. Once she heard their return she stood up and dusted the sand off her pants. "That was quick." She said.
Yeah, but the sad part about it is all the tents are gone besides two, so since you guys actually sleep I'm going to stay out here and watch the ocean. If I do decide to go inside and lie down I'll just join Haruka, if that's ok with you"
"We don't need tents." Braelynn said. She pointed behind them, "it may not look great now but we have my beach house. I'm sure the beds are still there." She dropped her arm to her side. Haruka took Eric's hand bring them inside. Then he looked through the book for 20 minutes before setting it down. Eric looked into Haruka's eyes when he took his hand and something had. A vision of red roses with red flames behind them. There's only been one other demon that has clamed to seeing that vision and they said they seen it because they .... Fell in love with a human. Eric brushed it off. "Ok", he walked away shaking a little.
Haruka took a deep breath focusing...just then after an hour of concentrating, his eyes flashed open, they were red and a red outline of energy covered his body. Haruka smiled levitating off the ground. Eric walked back outside a asking if they were going to turn in for the night, he seen Haruka floating in midair. Eric walked in front of Haruka," know I don't know much about humans, but I know that they aren't supposed to be floating in midair."
He laughed. "I studied the book to unlock my inner demon, now I have the abilities of a demon" Braelynn watched in fascination at Haruka as he started to levitate. "That's amazing." She said. She yawned and stretched. She was tired but she wanted to see what else was going to happen.
" Wow let's just hope that doesn't do anything to your soul." Eric laughed. "But seriously", Eric looked in to Haruka's eyes with caution. Haruka held his hand out as a flame shaped like a heart formed. He smiled as it went out.
"What are you doing, Haruka?." He held his hand out to Eric. What," Eric looked at Haruka with confusion. "What do you want me to do?." Haruka took Eric's hand, he could feel his demonic energy surging through his body. As Haruka held Eric's hand he could feel something different. Something that he had never felt before but he didn't know what it was. Eric backed away slowly from Haruka cause he thought he was doing something to him.
Braelynn woke up the next morning to see Haruka was on the shower practicing his abilities to perfect them. You know to much of that can destroy your soul, Right?" Eric said walking out to the shore past Haruka. Braelynn was right behind Eric and heard what he said. She looked at Haruka and sighed, "Will you please be careful?" She asked. She then looked at Eric, "What happens to him if his soul is destroyed?" She asked.
He becomes a real demon, but human turned demon is a bark demon. No matter what you think you can do. Unless you controlled by a good hearted human that demon on his own is very dangerous. They don't apply to the rules like dorn demons do." Eric said this in the most calming way as to not alarm them to badly.
"Haruka...please....you cant do this." Braelynn said pleading. "You need to stay as yourself." She looked to Eric for help with convincing Haruka to stop. Eric looked at Braelynn with concerned eyes. " I can't say anymore than I have, because the human can only make the choice on his or her own. Demons are bound with a rule, a demon can not keep a human from burning it's soul if it chooses to. The magic is powerful but not worth it. Haruka suddenly began to laugh hysterically as fire outlined his body. "I-I can feel the power...this overwhelming power!" His skin grew dark as he grew wings and he became more muscular. He grinned at the two and aimed his palm toward them. "Infected to me!" Infected humans began appearing all over the shore with a purple aura outlining their body. "Go my infected deal with them!
Eric looked around and seen the infected coming. " BRAELYNN TELEPORT US SOMEWHERE NOW, I DONT CARE WHERE JUST GET US OUT OF HERE." Braelynn started chanting the spell and then said there names along with where they would end up. Once they disappeared from her beach house they ended up in a large park.
She was silent once they got there but she then spoke up, "Is there any way to get him back?" She asked.
I think so but it's a long shot. Satan's pitchfork, it was only meant for destroying demon made humans, but I think we can find a spell in the book that maybe can change it, To get back the book, concentrate on what it looks like and we're it at the shout "to me" with your arms held out. You'll know it worked if black smoke starts to swirl around your hands. If you don't see the smoke with in a minute or so don't worry just try again.
Braelynn nodded and shut her eyes, holding her hands out and picturing the book. After she had a good memory of the book she shouted for the book to come to her. She opened her eyes and nothing happened. She waited but nothing happened so she tried again and at that moment the black smoke came and the book soon fell into her arms. She looked at Eric and smiled,
"I did it!" She said with excitement. She wasn't sure she was going to be able to do it but she did it! She guessed that she should have known she could do it because she was able to use the teleportation spell. Just then Haruka appeared in a flash of Fire. "Don't tell me you didn't think I could track you two so easily, and I'll be taking that" The demonic Haruka aimed his palm at the book and it suddenly flew into his hand.
He opened it and flip through several Pages until stopping at one..."Hmm, this should be interesting" He once again aimed his Palm towards Braelynn and chanted, suddenly a blue light began to swarm around her. Braelynn looked around her as the blue light surrounded her. She didn't know what was going on. Suddenly she felt pain in her shoulder blades which caused her to yell out in pain and drop to her knees. She then felt something rip through her back and saw that it was a pair of white wings. She looked to Eric, "What is happening?" She asked him.
"HARUKA STOP SHE CANT HANDLE IT. SHE NOT MEANT FOR THIS AND NETHER ARE YOU, HARUKA." Eric started to cry and pled to Haruka. Then he thought that maybe if he told Haruka what happened when he touched him it would bring him back…When you touched my hand in he beach the other day, I seen something that only one other demon in history had claim to see. Red roses with a red fiery background. He said he seen this because... He fell in love with a human. When you touched my hand I felt something a demon would usually never feel. Haruka, I fell in love with you.
Braelynn was in a lot of pain. She didn't know how much more of this power she could handle. It was consuming her. She felt like she was dying. The demon's red eyes began to go back to normal. "I felt the same..." he dropped the book and I landed on the ground. Just then A blue light shot down from the heavens engulfing Haruka as it did Braelynn. Suddenly he stepped out of the light one eye red while the other was blue.
"Heh, I'm no longer half human and demon... but half demon and angel!" WHAT!!" How is that possible, demons and angles don't get along." Eric said in confusion. "But who cares my Haruka is back and my Braelynn is ok." Eric had a tear in his eye and started to cry and hug them. Haruka looked at his hand opening and closing it, "feels so strange having the love and compassion of an angel yet the strength and Power of a demon... I didn't even think any of my personality would remain after all that"
"Well the angle half I guess made sure you still had some of you personality left." Eric suggested.
I was chanting the same chant I said to her in my head that gave her the angel ability, I was thinking it would make me so much stronger... it did get some of my sanity back"
"Turning her into an angel would had just made it possible for her to defeat you." The demon commented.
"That was probably the intention of my demon half, it wanted a good battle"
"I don't know but promise me one thing" Haruka looked Eric in the eye waiting for him to continue...
"NEVER do that again." Eric laughed to lighten the mood but was still trying to get it across as serious.
Their friend laughed and nodded...
