"Aunty, I want to ask you somet….." She cut me off.
"Yeah, spill it and get out of my face already," she complained as she was busy scrolling on her cellphone.
I pressed my lips tightly together. Who the hell does she think she is?
"What do you want to say already?!" She yelled as she stood up from the couch.
I then raised my hand and stretched it towards her. I tried imagining bringing out the red arrow from my palms; in a split second, the arrow came out of my hand.
"Hey, why are you pointing your hand at me? What the hell do you think you are doing?" She asked with her eyebrows twisted together.
I quickly shot her in the chest with the red arrow, before she could say another word. Before I knew it, my aunt fell backwards and landed on the couch behind her, it was like the arrow hit her in the chest physically.
"You did it, now she is going to do anything you tell her," Mordecai said from behind the couch.
"You mean, that is all it takes for me to control someone?" I inquired.
"Yes," he responded.
I shifted my gaze over to my aunt on the couch. She stood up and looked at me.
"Sorry Trevor, sorry for what happened; I love you, Trevor," she said as she walked closer to me and grabbed my face. She stared deeply into my eyes, it started to creep me out, My aunt has never looked at me this way before, and she has also never told me she loved me before. I think the red arrow worked.
"Why are you telling me sorry?" I inquired, still staring at her.
"Forgive me Trevor, my husband and I were the ones that killed your family, I swear I didn’t want to do it, but my husband was the one that planned everything," She responded as tears dripped down her face.
My eyes and mouth opened wide. What? Mordecai was telling the truth; my aunt and uncle were the ones that killed my entire family. I can’t believe they did something that terrible.
My aunt collapsed on the floor in front of me as she bowed her head.
"I would never want to hurt you, Trevor, I didn’t want to kill your entire family, but my husband was the one that insisted we do it and if I didn’t comply with his plans, he would have still done it," She said in a sobbing tone as her tears filled the floor. This is fucking unbelievable. Why would my aunt and uncle even think of doing such a thing in the first place? Does that mean they value money more than anything?
I was speechless as I gazed at my aunt on the floor.
I heard sounds coming from the front door, and the next thing I knew, my uncle had entered the living room. His name is Peter Martins; he was a man that was in his late 50s, he was short, fat, and had red hair; he was my late dad’s junior and only brother.
"What the hell is going on here? Why is my wife crying on the floor?" He asked in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.
My aunt stood up from the floor and dashed over to where my uncle was standing, and grabbed his collar.
"You are the one that planned everything, you are the one that took Trevor’s happiness away from him!" She yelled as she held on to his shirt collar tightly.
She started saying all sorts of things, like how my uncle was the one who planned to kill my dad because he wanted to inherit all his property and money and she also said how they made the car explode with my entire family in it. after a few moments.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Brittney? Why are you saying all these things in front of Trevor?! Have you lost your mind?" He shouted as he slapped her hard on the face. She fell on the floor and hit her head.
She got up from the floor and sat down on the floor.
"You hitting me won’t stop me from telling Trevor the truth about all the things you did," She said in low tone as she wiped away the blood that was dripping down from her mouth.
I was just standing behind them and not doing or saying anything, I was burning with a lot of anger inside of me. I twisted my fists into tight balls.
"Uncle tell me, did you let me live just to get your insurance?" I asked in low tone as I raised my head and stared at him. I wanted to also confirm this, just to be sure that Mordecai was accurate.
"It was his idea too, he told me he wanted one of his brother’s kids to live so that he could use that person for the insurance and you were the one he choose. The insurance company paid for us to take you in," my aunt said in high-pitched voice as she was still sitting on the floor.
My uncle walked over and swiftly grabbed my aunt from the floor and gave her a resounding slap around the face.
"Shut your mouth woman!" He yelled. My aunt fell on the floor again.
“How dare you betray me you bitch!” He yelled in anger as he glared at her on the floor.
So, my uncle actually kept me alive just so he could get money from insurance company, this man is a terrible human being. How does he live with himself after doing all these terrible things? The both of them did all those things for money.
“God, the both of you are monsters!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.
“You guys don’t care about anyone!” I fell on my knees and started crying. Discovering all this is too much and heart breaking for me.
“The both of you deserve capital punishment, you guys should just die!” I screamed as I stood up from the floor with tears still rushing down my cheeks. My aunt stood up from the floor and grabbed a knife from the center table in the middle of the living room. “If killing myself is going to make you happy, I am going to do it,” she said in a cold tone. Before I knew what was happening, my aunt stabbed herself on the neck, blood started pumping out of her neck and filled the entire floor, a few seconds she fell flat on the floor. Mordecai flew over to where I was standing and stood next to me. “Why did she do that to herself?!” I yelled as I stared at my aunt’s lifeless body on the floor with my eyes wide open and my mouth hanging loosely. “You were very clear, you told her to die,” Mordecai said. “Wait do you mean the red arrow can compel people to do that?” I inquired as I turned and looked at Mordecai. He started explaining to me that once the arrow makes anyone fall deeply i
Hearing all he just explained, I then realize that I have started down a destination that I can’t even imagine, the path I am on right now is an outrageous one. I didn’t ask to be chosen as a devil king candidate, plus why me? I finally decided to live and pursue happiness, but now 20 devil king candidates? What is it going to take to be chosen as the new devil king and am I ready for all this? “So, you are telling me that there are 20 candidates and one of them will become the new devil king?” I questioned in a soft tone. “Yes, that’s right,” “Well, I guess I believe you, I can’t deny that there is a demon hovering beside me,” “But, what if I don’t want to be the new devil king? Because I never signed up for all of this, all this is too much for me to take in,” I stated in a low tone. “Listen, if someone else ends up becoming the devil king, your wings and arrows will be taken away from you, but if you become the devil king, you get to use them all you want. So, you should do it
“This comedian Mr. Rodriguez is using the red arrow to make those women fall for him one after another, but it will only last for thirty-three days,” someone like Mr. Rodriguez using the arrow this way, would he ever be chosen to become the devil king? I then asked Mordecai what I just thought about. “Of course, any of the candidates can be chosen to be the new devil king, no matter how they use their powers,” he responded. Well, that confirms my question anyway, besides it’s the devil after all, I guess anything goes, someone like the devil would not care about bad things. ******************** The following morning, I was walking down the hallway of Harvard University, I just applied to study architecture, at least now that I have money, I can make one of my life long dreams come true. As I was walking, a loud beeping sound came from my cellphone inside my pocket, I took out my cellphone and looked at what the notification was. It was a news notification, I opened it. I saw t
As soon as the police officers standing in front of the mall saw him, they all readied their guns and pointed it at the mysterious robotic man. “Who are you?! Put your hands where we could see them!” One of the police officers screamed from the crowd. “Don’t shoot, I am not your enemy!” The robotic man yelled as he turned and faced the policemen. His voice sounded like a robotic voice. The female reporter started reporting the description of the robotic man to the viewers. A couple of people standing close to me started pointing at the robotic man on the billboard. “Isn’t that Burnaman?” One of the men standing in the crowd next to me asked. “Yeah, the television show last season,” another guy responded. It seems the guy is popular. I shifted my gaze and focused back on the billboard. To my greatest surprise, I saw demon wings coming right out of the back of the robotic man. “Wait a minute, are those demon wings?” I turned around and looked at Mordecai with my eyes wide open,
“Yes, I don’t need them anymore, take them back,” I responded swiftly.“That’s not only the problem, if you return your wings and arrows, you will die,” he said in a calm tone. I got up from the bed and gazed at him with my eyes wide open.“What?!” I questioned.“Yes, if you were to throw them away, you will be throwing your life away,” he responded in a calm tone. He continued explaining to me that the only reason I am alive is because I accepted the wings and arrows as a devil king candidate. After a few moments.“I see,” I muttered as I wrapped my arms around my legs and folded myself inside my bed. I guess I can’t run away from being a devil candidate. But I don’t want to end up like that comedian Rodriguez, Burnaman is ready to kill all the devil candidates to become the devil king.“Trevor, I don’t understand human emotions that well, but I think you must be scared of Burnaman, if that’s the case, why don’t you stay inside your apartment for a while?” Mordecai asked as he flew c
, right after the entrance ceremony," she said in a low tone."Alright," I brought out my wings and flew up into the sky."I will meet you there!" I screamed as I flew away into the sky.As I was flying at lightning speed into the sky, I kept thinking of the immense love I have for Brianna. AUTHOR’S POVBack at the college ground where Brianna and her demon were standing, She and her demon were busy gazing at Trevor’s trail in the sky as he flew away."I can’t help but wonder what that guy’s demon is up to. He is nowhere to be seen next to him," Brianna’s demon said as he floated above Brianna’s head.The demon turned around and gazed at Brianna."Well, it does make it more convenient for us," the demon said. Brianna didn’t react to what he said. **********************Trevor landed on Brianna’s balcony. He put his wings away and walked into Brianna’s room. He looked around the room. The room looked like that of a little girl; the carpets were pink with white stripes, the cabinets c
A red, glowing rope came out of both their hands and tied their hands together."That is great; I didn’t have to explain the whole process; both of you are already in sync with each other," the demon commented."Those ropes won’t come off unless the both of you will it too. Now get behind her and hold on to her tightly," the demon added.Brianna turned around and leaned into Trevor.Oh my goodness, Brianna is so close to me; I never thought we'd be this close, Trevor thought.Trevor and Brianna were standing at the edge of Brianna’s balcony. They wanted to try flying with each other for the first time."Are you ready?""Can I take off?" Trevor asked."Yes," Brianna mumbled.Trevor brought out his wings and flew into the sky while holding Brianna in front of him. As they flew further into the sky. Brianna’s mouth was wide open in awe; this was the first time she had ever been so high up in the sky."Are you scared?" Trevor asked in a soft tone as he continued flying."No," she answered
he could end up being the easiest to manipulate. Revel thought.At where Mordecai and Trevor were standing."Even if you go there and see him, do you think Burnaman would even bother talking to you?" Mordecai asked, his gaze fixed on Trevor."I don’t know," he mumbled."You might end up trying to kill each other. If the current owner passes away, wings and arrows can be transferred to someone else," Mordecai explained."Huh, nobody has ever said that.""It’s true, so if you were to die somehow, your wings and arrows could be transferred to Brianna, or if Burnaman were to die,you could take his wings and arrows and be free to give yours to Brianna," Mordecai explained.Revel and Brianna were just looking at Mordecai as he explained things to Trevor."Revel must be hoping that one of these scenarios takes place," Mordecai added.Revel’s eyes opened wide; he was shocked that Mordecai had exposed what he had been planning."You have lost the ability to think about things rationally becau
