Zheren led Max through the dark hallway until they got to another building. Then he suddenly stopped and turned around causing Max to almost fall. "Max, I don't know how you were able to do it but I want to say thank you for bringing me back to life and for healing me. Damon said I am now a demon, it came as a shock to me considering my status before but I do not mind that again," Zheren said in a low voice then let out an inaudible sigh."I did what I had to do so you don't have to be like that, besides you saved me," Max replied with a slight smile on his face. "About the demon stuff, well I happened to be favoured by Damon and so I was able to turn into a demon, I guess it was a bit of luck that I was able to bring you back to life. As you have seen, I am not yet strong enough which explains why I fainted. By the way, how many days have I been asleep?" "Two days I guess," Zheren replied to Max's shock."Two days? Hell! I need to return to school," Max said as he remembered someth

Max stormed inside the room and then slumped on his bed, his face was squeezed and his fists were clenched. Zheren also walked inside the room after some time, he glanced at Max and seeing his angry face could not help but sigh. He understood how he felt at the moment because he too had been in the same situation before. Nevertheless, he walked to Max and sat close to him, placing a hand on his shoulder he comforted him as a friend would — This was what Max needed at a time like this, a reminder that he has a friend who believes in him and will stand by him.After some time of comforting, Max calmed down. His face returned to its normal mood and his rising chest completely fell. Thanks to Zheren who knew how to use words just perfectly. After Zheren fell asleep because he mentioned that he was sleepy, Max took a shower because he knew how bad he smelled. After that, he wore light clothes and left the room after glancing at the Zheren.When he got outside, he began to make his way tow

"You are to begin after the count of five," Kelvin said, sounding like an official referee. The two opponents nodded in understanding and Kelvin began his count."1""2""3" "4""5""BEGIN!"After the count, Kelvin quickly gave them some space by moving closer to the wall of the duelling ground. Max and Nat both took a fighting stance opposite each other, with their whole attention fixed on themselves. The noisy crowd became quiet as the time they all have been waiting for has finally arrived, their eyes and whole senses on the two boys on the duelling ground, no one wanted to miss any action."Hey, I won't take it easy on you so you better do the same," Nat said as a warning and clasped his hands together.'It's not time for me to show them my demon powers or I'll be in danger, I'll have to follow Zheren's idea even though I would want to beat the crap out of him' Max thought inwardly as he braced himself for whatever Nat was about to do.From Nat's clasped palms, particles of ligh

With wide eyes and opened mouths, everyone watched as the same dark fogs that had disappeared before reappeared again. This time it was behind Kelvin who still had his eyes fixed on Max, he heard everyone scream his name but before he could process anything, it was already late. The dark fogs formed into some long claws and began to tear on his skin. Screams filled the air as Kelvin began to run around the duelling ground, as he ran, the claws followed him as well, tearing on his skin and causing his clothes to be dyed red.As blood gushed out from his body, he began to get weak. He got weak to the extent that he could no longer walk and so he fell to the ground, helpless. No one came to help him, everyone watched as strength sipped out of him gradually, yet, no one made an attempt to help him. Not even Matt who wanted so badly to be his friend. It was as if the world had left him to die, that he was insignificant. From where he was lying down, a tear dropped from his eye then followe
