Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 15 : Aftermath Part Three

Chapter 15 : Aftermath Part 3

* Author's Note : The coloured parts are present in the other timeline mini chapters as well, if you have read any of the other ones you can skip these highlighted parts!

"Is... Is it you?"

Our eyes met

"Who else could I be?" she wondered concerned

I rushed and I hugged her

"It's really you" I clenched her tightly

I was listening to her heartbeat as her warm breath hit the top of my head

"What happened" she asked as she broke down crying

No no no... How could I forget... She was still grieving for her dad.

This made the whole situation worse...

I clenched her tightly as I wept once again... It was different this time

I did this to her

I slowly let go of her as I collapsed into the couch

She sat beside me, leaning her head on my shoulder

Without controlling myself I shivered and I moved away from her. Every cell of my body in unison agreed that I should stay away from her for her own good.

She looked at me after my flinch... She stayed silent.

Her eyes did all the talking.

A look of pain and disappointment

"I should go"

She got up and she wiped her eyes from all this crying

I said nothing... She moved towards the door and I couldn't even look at her

My head couldn't stay silent while her steps were going further and further away

Her hand touched the door

All over again

It was happening all over again.

I have to break the cycle.

I got up and I moved towards the door as she was slowly opening it. I pushed it closed.

"Stay" I whispered

She nodded as tears were still escaping her eyes.

We put our backs on the door and we collapsed like a tower of cards.

She leaned her head on my shoulder and I leaned my head on to hers.

~ ~

Hours passed in silence. Only the sounds of the tears hitting the wooden floor. I think we both needed that. I had time to think... A loud bang echoed and a flash of light filled the apartment. "A lightning" I thought as rain started falling.

No... I can't tell her.

Dawn was rapidly approaching and I knew I had to do something.

I carried Lydia to the bedroom and I opened the attic door. "Please, go up there and don't come out for any reason whatsoever" I exhaled. "What's going on?" she asked dazed and confused. "I'll tell you once this is over, please stay here until I come get you, it won't be long."

She nodded.

I called Circe for backup and she rushed here.

Damien eventually showed up just as I expected. He wasn't strong enough to survive...

I opened the attic door. "It's okay now" I said and she slowly came closer from the shadows. "What was that for?" she asked. "Don't you worry now... No one is ever going to hurt you again." I replied nodding.

A delusion starts like any other idea

A couple of years have passed since that time. Circe left me because supposedly I wasn't focused enough on the cause...

I kept getting stronger and stronger, I couldn't let anyone hurt Lydia again.

My abilities have become more powerful than I could ever imagine... That's what motivation does to a person.

*sigh*

I know we're both adults here but I feel like she has been growing distant lately. Always out with her other friends... Can't she understand that she isn't safe without me?

"Aiden I'm out" she said from the other room.

"What, where are you going?" I asked concerned.

"I told you earlier, I'm going out with Alice and Zoe" she replied grabbing her purse and heading to the door.

"Lydia wait" I got up and I followed her. "I told you I wasn't comfortable with that, it's the third time this month..." I said with a sad look on my face, these apologetic eyes always worked.

"Bro and I told you that I want to go out" she smiled and opened the door.

I closed it. "Please don't" I said.

She opened it again and left with a weird look on her face, "don't wait up" she said.

This is how it begins

I waited for her to get out of the building, I summoned my Reaper form, I took out my wings and I followed her from above. The rain and the night sky made me practically invisible.

Her taxi stopped at the night life district and her friends were waiting for her there. I retracted my wings and I followed them from roof to roof.

After a bit of walking they entered a club. She doesn't like clubs...

My Reaper form dissolved and I entered the club right behind them. The time was passing as I was keeping my distance, watching if she was okay.

Hours had passed at this point. She was dancing and a dude approached her. What did he want with her?

They started talking more and more, something felt wrong.

An idea alone isnt enough, most die before they can grow

He leaned in for a kiss.

I rushed towards them through the club. I passed by Alice and Zoe and I saw a weirded out look on their faces as our eyes met. I didn't care.

"HEY ASSHOLE" I screamed as their lips almost touched, I punched him straight on his face and he fell down.

"AIDEN WHAT THE FUCK!" Lydia screamed.

He got back up, "Yeah Aiden, what the fuck" he said as he punched my face... Didn't even tickle. I hit him in the stomach and I pushed him back down.

"STOP IT" she screamed once again.

He got up again and he tried to actually fight me. I just grabbed him by the throat and I threw him on the wall outside the toilets. "STAY DOWN FUCKER" I said.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she asked.

"Well, he was obviously harassing you" I replied.

"NO THE FUCK HE WASNT, WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING" She screamed again, something was wrong.

"AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE, WERE YOU FOLLOWING ME?" she kept talking.

"He must have put something in your drink, it's okay now that I'm here." I affirmed her.

"NO HE DIDN'T YOU CREEP, NOW GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS WHEN I GET HOME" she said.

"Chill, I'm not leaving you here" I exclaimed.

"FUCK OFF I SAID" she replied.

I looked up and down trying to think what I was going to do, I looked at her arm.

For a delusion to thrive, other, more rational ideas must be rejected

I grabbed her arm and I dragged her out of the club. She kept hitting me but it was for her own good and deep down she knew it. Her friends tried to stop me, I turned my eyes black and they stayed away after that.

Some days passed and she would still wouldn't talk to me...What the fuck is going on?!

It was evening, at that point I had been back from the gym for about thrity minutes and that situation was still bugging me. I couldn't get it out of my head, what the fuck was wrong with her...

It HAS to stop.

I got up from the couch and I stormed into her room, she was smiling at her phone. "Don't you know how to knock?" she said as the smile faded from her face the moment she saw me. "What's your problem, why haven't you been talking to me?" I asked.

"WHAT'S MY PROBLEM?" she yelled. "You followed me to the club, you were probably watching me for hours and you beat up that poor guy!" she continued.

"He was harassing you, I was here to protect you." I replied.

"Aiden, he wasn't harassing me, I actually like him... YOU'RE NOT MY BOYFRIEND, YOU'RE NOT MY BROTHER, YOU'RE NOT MY FAMILY AND NOTE IT THE FUCK DOWN SO YOU CAN REMEMBER IT... WHAT YOU DID WAS UNFORGIVEABLE!" she screamed, her eyes full of rage.

"Lydia, what you're saying, you don't mean it... It's not like you to go to clubs and hit it off with different dudes" I exclaimed confused.

"PEOPLE CHANGED AIDEN, I'VE CHANGED!"

...destroyed

"I like going out to clubs, I like going out with Zoe and Alice and I like this dude!" she exclaimed dissapointed.

Who are you?

"What?!" she asked

"You heard me... Who are you?" I answered

"I can't with your silly fucking games... i'M lYdIa" she replied clearly mocking me.

"No" I said

"Excuse me?" she said confused.

"You are NOT Lydia... She would never talk to me like that... She would understand the things I do for her and Lydia would never act like this to me.." I said.

"She doesn't go clubbing, she didn't used to like the people she's hanging out with, she wouldn't jump from dude to dude and I'm sure as hell she wouldn't talk to me like that." I continued.

"I don't know what's the fucking game you're playing but I'm not doing this" the woman said angrily.

"People change" she said.

...only then can a delusion blossom...

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU" I screamed as my eyes started turning white.

"STOP IT AIDEN IT'S ME" she replied with a confused look on her face.

"I know you're not her... I'll let you live if you tell me where she is" I roared.

"Please Aiden, you're scaring me... " she said trying to make me believe her lie... Trying to make me empathize with her pain.

"WHO ARE YOU" I screamed as my Seraph armor started to form around me.

"A trickster? Or a shapeshifter? A witch? ....Maybe a demon" I exclaimed as I moved towards her.

"P-please... It's me" she wimpered.

"I'll give you a last chance" I roared as I grabbed her arm.

"Aiden.. No please..." she wept and wept.

"I warned you..." I whispered.

"N-no please" she cried.

My arm lit up and I moved it close to her face. Parts of her cheeks started burning away as I moved my arm closer. She cried and cried but I wouldn't stop.... I couldn't.... She took Lydia and she must pay.

"AIDEN IT'S ME PLEASE" she screamed but to no avail. What a waste of final words...

I placed my arm on her face and it started melting away... The screams were like music to my ears.

It was finally done... The woman's body lied lifeless on the floor with smoke coming out of her face.

I may have been too harsh but I couldn't let her get away with it.

Hours passed in silence. Only the sounds of the tears hitting the wooden floor. I think we both needed that. I had time to think… A loud bang echoed and a flash of light filled the apartment. "A lightning" I thought as rain started falling.

I can't tell her. It's better if she stays in the dark.

I looked at her and she was asleep. I got up and I carried her to the bed.

I called Circe and I told her to come asap.

Damien eventually showed up and we stopped him... Once and for all.

The days passed but I couldn't shake the image of her beaten up uttering these final words.

"What's wrong" she said rubbing my shoulder.

"Nothing" I replied with an empty look.

"Aiden tell me, you haven't been the same since that night in your apartment"

I gazed into her eyes but nothing... I couldn't let her die again...

Weeks passed. She tried to get in contact but I couldn't bring myself to it. I sometimes replied to her texts but it wasn't the same. She wasn't the person I knew... The real Lydia wished she never had met me...

Something was missing.

Circe tried to get me back on my feet but I wouldn't let her...

I needed some time on my own.

It's been a couple of years since I came back to the timeline. I haven't talked to Lydia for a few months despite her reaching out to me and Circe kept her crusade going without me.

My days have all been the same... Something was missing.

My money was running low and I couldn't push myself to get off my bed.

I woke up today and the feeling was still there.

Almost the whole day passed with me laid down and looking at the ceiling.

I finally managed to get up towards the evening.

I took some crumbled 50s I had and I headed to the bar I would frequent.

The hours passed and I was drunk to hell and back. I paid and I went to my car.

🎶 In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape 🎶

These late night drives were the only thing that would give me any kind of emotions.

I kept driving with the music playing loud... I wanted to drown my thoughts, my memories.

🎶 Just cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there 🎶

The flashbacks wouldn't stop... Flashbacks of all the things that are, that were and that could've been.

🎶 There's always a siren Singing you to shipwreck 🎶

Voices in my head... Screaming that it's all my fault... Saying that the future could've changed. Visions of a future that never came to pass, a place we were both happy.

🎶 Don't reach out, don't reach out Don't reach out, don't reach out 🎶

Flashbacks of the days and nights we spent all alone. Of all the laughs we had and all the tough moments we fought through.

🎶 We'd be a walking disaster 🎶

I can't... I CAN'T ANYMORE

MY LIFE HAS BEEN HELL I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!

I pressed the gas and the engine roared.

What have I done

🎶 We are accidents waiting to happen 🎶

I have to tell her. I can't look her in the eyes any more. I moved my head and I got up. I headed towards the kitchen and I took a cigarette from my secret stash. "Put that down… You've stopped that months ago" she said tired. "I'm gonna need this" I exclaimed. I lit up the cigarette and I slowly sat back down right by her.

"You died" I said as smoke escaped my mouth. "You died because of me"

"No, stop" she shook her head. "But it's true" I continued. "STOP" she screamed covering her ears! "I DON'T WANT ANYMORE OF THIS" I stood on my knees in front of her and I threw the cigarette behind me.

I grabbed her arms and I pulled them from her ears. "THE MAN FROM THE AIRPORT" I screamed. "HE KILLED YOUR DAD" She kept shaking and screaming and crying. "His body was a mess, I couldn't recognize him if not for his tattoo" I continued. Smoke was filling the room. Her screams pierced my eardrums.

"HE TOOK YOU FROM HERE… HE REMOVED YOUR EARS AND YOUR FINGERS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FIND YOU" I clenched her and kept her from moving. " HE TORTURED YOU IN FRONT OF ME AND I COULD DO NOTHING" She was smashing her head on the door as her sorrowful howls kept on going. Fire was spreading around us. "I did this to you" Blood was soaring from her head. "You died and you suffered because of me" She was shaking violently trying to escape. "It's all better now" The flames touched us. "You won't be in pain again" I hugged her with all my strength. "Our torturing is done" The flames engulfed us as we both laughed at once.

A terrible symphony.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 15

Chapter 15

I felt something drag me from inside the portal. I was left stranded in the middle of space. Millions of realities around me converging into one single nebula.

I've heard stories about this place. The Pillars of Creation people called it… We've only seen pictures from telescopes millions of lightyears away. No one could have imagined how they actually looked as you stood in front of them. Energy was leaving the towers creating new stars and all those sounds… Sound isn't supposed to travel in space but I could hear… I could hear everything. Lives ending and starting anew, voices laughing, crying and screaming…

The towers started vibrating and a screech escaped them making them collapse. In an instant everything was over… Lives that are, were and will be were just erased… Darkness ad infinitum.

I opened my eyes, my armor on me and I jumped up. I tried to move but chains held me tied down. Azrael woke up from a chair on my right. He rushed towards me. He put his hands on my shoulders. "Calm down Aiden!"

"THE PILLARS… THEY'RE GONE… EVERYTHING is DOOMED" I screamed on the top of my lungs. "Take a breath, you can tell me everything once you calm down." he said looking into my eyes concerned. "HENRIK BRING US WATER" he ordered.

I tried to gather myself and make sense of it all. "Wh- Why am I tied?" I asked. A headache was killing me… "Once you came back from the portal you started spewing nonsense and making weird sounds" he said as he poured water into a glass. "Your armor wouldn't go away and it kept blinking in and out of existence, interchanging between your forms". He untied me. I fell down and I slowly made my way on top of the bed next to us. "So, since we were all afraid we tied you on this operating table and moved you into your room… I've been sleeping here in case you woke up" he continued as he gave me the glass of water. "Slept? How many days have passed?" I asked. "Just two" he replied. I instantly thought of Lydia and I tried to get up but my feet failed me. "Woah wait… You'll hurt yourself." he said, grabbing my hand and helping me back up the bed. I opened my mouth trying to talk but before I could say a thing he touched my shoulder. "I know" he said somberly. I nodded and I drank some water.

"What were you talking about?" he asked. "The Pillars of Creation… I saw them fall" I exclaimed shaken up fidgeting with the glass. "That's not possible… If you saw them fall we'd all be dead… Besides if you saw what you humans think the Pillars are, we're good, telescope pictures don't have all the details…" he continued unmoved.

"No Azrael… I saw the realities… Present, past and future meeting in the middle of the universe. I heard the voices of unending amounts of people… I saw stars getting created in front of my eyes. I stood in front of them and I saw them all fall" I said and his eyes widened after every word I said. He lowered his head, he put his hands on his face and he pulled his hair back. "It's getting worse" he said under his breath. He swiftly walked outside the room leaving the door slightly open.

I smelled a familiar fragrance and the door slowly opened. "So, my wish came true" I smiled. "I told you… You shouldn't hope" she replied. "Oh dear Sylvia, bitter as always" I laughed. She hugged me and she sat beside me. "I see you've become an even better fighter since the last time we met… I've worked with Accursed Angels, even real Angels a lot of times and you've never struck me as one." she continued. "Thank you …I think?" I replied. "Take it as a compliment… Most of them had a stick up their ass and they stayed away from anything… fun." she continued. I laughed and I bowed jokingly. "I presume Azrael filled you in about my new powers?" I asked. "Well yes and no… I kind of work for him from time to time and he asked for my help while you were traveling between dimensions" she replied. "Truly an honor to see you fight once again" she nodded. I smiled and I thanked her.

A moment passed as she lowered her head "It's awful… What happened to Lydia… I'm so sad that fate wanted our paths to cross once more under these circumstances" she sighed…. "I know it's awful but I'm gonna fix this… I have to" I exclaimed. The feeling of emptiness was still latched on my chest. "Aiden… There's something you need to know." she said facing away from me. "Bringing her back… It's not as simple as it sounds…" she uttered. The room fell silent. I lowered my head and it stood like a pendulum hanging from a pivot. She sighed and she placed her hand on my back. I flinched and in a swift move I threw the glass on the wall. "NOTHING IS EVER SIMPLE…" I screamed as I buried my face between my palms. I felt cold and my body was slightly shaking against my will… I took a big breath and I let it all out trying to calm myself. I raised my head and I held my tears back. I looked Sylvia straight in her eyes… "I'm gonna do anything" I exhaled, nodding. "I truly mean ANYTHING… That's my only truth in this world… Even if hell freezes or even if the stars fall from the sky I shall still try to bring her back"

"Look Aiden, messing with timelines isn't exactly for everyone" she said concerned. She got up and she started walking around. "You're going to see some things that humans weren't meant to see" she exclaimed as she moved all the pieces of the broken glass closer to each other. "I think I can handle it… I've felt life slip through my fingers multiple times…. I can handle some visions" I said determined as I got up crossing my hands on my chest. "See that's the thing you don't get… Physical pain will be healed with time and hell, even Death can be tricked once or twice. If you truly decide to bring her back you're going to experience multiple futures…" she said in a lower tone and she was constantly evading my eyes. "I can take it. No… I WILL TAKE IT" I roared. "You're going to hate yourself Aiden… You're going to hate the person you become in some of these futures…" she sighed putting her arms together, almost hugging herself. "Look Sylvia, I can't imagine what you've been through and I'm sorry" I exclaimed as I sat on the table. "But, there is something you need to understand… I don't know how many more mornings I can take… Every time I wake up and look at myself in the bathroom mirror I loathe the person that looks back." "Aiden..." she said, interrupting me, touching my shoulder. "Please, let me finish" I sighed. I touched her hand and I lowered my head as I kept talking. "My story is going to end Sylvia if I don't bring her back… I'm gonna end it. I can't live with what I've done unless I fix it. Even if what you say is true and I can't handle what I see, at least I'm gonna die happy knowing that she is alive." I concluded.

"If it is important to you, then it is important to me." she said. "I'm going to talk with Azrael to take care of everything" she exclaimed as she moved towards the door. "Rest now, tomorrow we're bringing her back!" she smiled solemnly as she closed the door.

That it will never come again makes life so sweet

The door knocked waking me up from a sleep that felt like minutes, I couldn’t for the life of me drift away knowing that it was almost time.

“Sir, you have been requested” said Henrik as he opened the door peeking in with a serious look painted across his face. I nodded and I got up. I wore a shirt, a pair of black jeans, my boots and I headed outside the room and towards the inner castle. Torches have been lit leading me to the gardens.

I opened the gates and I was greeted with Azrael levitating above a patch of black lilies, hands pointed towards the dark sky. He dropped down landing on his knees, he got up and he started moving towards me. “It’s beautiful isn’t it?” he asked as he raised his arms. A wave echoed through the sky allowing me to see behind the darkness… Rays reminiscent of forgotten autumns were lighting up the garden and red stars were moving in strange formations. “They represent death… Death and the road to renewal… The colors I mean… “he said looking at the rays. “Death?” I asked.

“Well yes… That’s what that timeline was plagued by… Don’t forget that we’re practically killing an old timeline, this seems like a proper sendoff” he continued. “Hmm” I nodded, “When do we begin?” I asked. “You’ve spoken to Sylvia so now you know you’re going to see some futures you weren’t meant to… You need to be prepared for that” he said in a serious tone as he moved his fingers controlling the stars. “I am” I replied. “We’re about to find out…” he continued. “From what you have already gathered you should know by now I’m sending you back in time inside this timeline. In a time Lydia was alive and in a time you could save her… In order to do that we’re going to need a lot of energy as well as an object that can hold it.” he exclaimed. I nodded with a confused look on my face. “I haven’t been entirely honest with you… Your trip to the previous timeline had a hidden objective, I needed to get something that captured the essence of that reality so don’t freak out.” he said as he pulled a black heart still beating from the inside of his coat. I looked at him aghast and confused as I started stepping back. “I took it from Alcyon’s body before you shot her… You need to understand that we need it…” he continued. Disgusted I nodded… What has happened to me… How could I agree to something like this…?

No. Now is not the time for second thoughts… I’m bringing her back one way or another…

“What do I do with it?” I asked determined as I grabbed the heart from his hand. He looked back at me, his other arm still moving the night sky around. “You break it.” he said looking straight into my eyes with an empty gaze. “What?!?!” I asked alerted. “Simple as that… You break it…” he responded completely unfazed, like this is something normal to him, merely an inconvenience. “I will make the stars align to give you your opening” he continued.

“You’ll know when it’s time…” He said, his eyes starting to shine.

“When the stars move fast enough to look like one... When you feel the cold of thousands of suns fading away... When you hear the souls we saved in the last timeline screech in raging bliss” his voice starts to echo throughout my head.

“THEN IT WILL BE TIME…” he screamed, his eyes burning brighter than ever!

“Then you will break this black and frigid heart until you feel it flickering within your palms…

Then and only then will you split it in two…” He started using both his arms to shift the sky.

Millions of celestial bodies moving against their will in a berserk manner resembling the view from a kaleidoscope!

“EREBUS IN ONE PALM THAT WILL SPRING FROM THE EMPTINESS OF THE REAPER’S SOUL … SMOLDERING GRACE IN THE OTHER PALM ROOTED INSIDE THE SERAPH’S RAGE” he screamed!

His eyes were ready to erupt, cold waves hit me from every direction like the blast echoes from millions of atomic bombs. Stars were frantically jumping around the night sky and screeches of pleasure echoed inside my head!

Suddenly everything went dark, absolute silence, absolute tranquility… “Now” he whispered.

Everything was coming back in motion while I was tearing the heart in two! I felt ungodly rage and engulfing sorrow as my arms were set ablaze! Stars came crashing down as I felt every single cell of my body get torn apart and banished from this plane of existence…

I’m coming to you Lydia…

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Everything was turning dark...

20 minutes - earlier Azrael watching Aiden from a hidden seclude

Azrael's POV :

"That hurt quite a lot actually" I said rubbing my cheek. "That's what a slap is supposed to do" she replied angry. "You still don't understand why I sent him there" I continued. "YOU Fool, ugh. . . Look Azrael, you need to bring him back, he does need to regain his powers but sending him to that timeline wasn't the way" she said trying her hardest not to hit me again. "He can do this, trust me..." I exclaimed. "Are you damn serious?! We've been watching him running away from a menace that is currently removing A PERSON'S LIMBS ONE BY ONE" she said screaming. "Well according to Ceryx that man was a piece of shit" I exclaimed still looking at the blazing globe. My bicep suddenly started burning, "OUCH" I said. Damn, that woman has a heavy hand.

"Azrael please do something, he's sewing this man's eyes shut, I'm gonna puke" she said nauseous. "Aiden's got it" I exclaimed clenching my fists.

"He's moving closer to Aiden, do something!" she yelled. "I told you he's got it" I said, focusing more and more on what we were watching happen.

"OH GOD HE STABBED HIM" she screamed. "Any minute now" I said anxious.

We saw white forming around him. "You can do this" I said under my breath.

Within seconds the white faded away and blood came out of his mouth.

"AZRAEL" she screamed crying. "Fuck" I uttered.

I started running and I leapt inside the raging ball of fire.

"A visitor?" said Ceryx dumbfounded. "AIDEN I'M TAKING YOU HOME" I screamed as I summoned my armor.

"No..." I heard him say in a faint voice. "I need her back..." he sighed as he struggled to keep his eyes open.

"BRING HIM BACK" I heard her say from beyond the veil.

"You're not of my earth nor is your friend, I didn't think quantum entanglement was more than just a theory... That means there's another earth for me to save! Alcyone my love, our work is not done." said Ceryx.

To hell with it... I rushed to attack. I jumped and I punched him while I landed...he didn't even flinch. His horrid mouth smiled and he pushed me straight into the wall. He moved his hand towards the portal I had opened and he moved closer to it. "NO, STOP" I screamed as I was trying to get up but the cables were overpowering me.

How could I think Aiden could handle this timeline when even I am getting overpowered...

Aiden's POV :

His screams felt further and further away. "Did we just lose?" I thought as I was letting go.

I still want to tell you how sorry I am for the years that were lost...

The temperature starts rising... My heart keeps beating faster and faster... I struggle to breathe... My body fails me... Yet a familiar voice calls my name

*coughs*

What is this fucking smell! I started moving my arms but I was squished by something. I slowly started crawling out, I couldn't see anything.

"Aideeeen pleaaaase" I heard a faint voice call my name. It couldn't be... I was in another timeline and she has been dead for a few days

"Aideeeeeen" said the voice again...

I'm coming for you Lydia...

My arm emerged out of whatever I was in... I grabbed something and I forced myself out.

*deep breath*

Good god.... How did I end up in a FUCKING DUNGEON...

I crawled my way to the corner of the room and I tried to get on my feet.

Before I could form a thought, I looked back and I fell down again from the shock.... I ran towards the wall and I started puking.

Hundreds upon hundreds of bloody bodies were piled in front of me. I stumbled towards the sink hugging the wall.

I threw some water on my face and while I looked myself at the mirror I thought I saw some of the bodies blink.

I rushed towards the door and I followed the stairs leading me up. As I reached the top I opened another door... A frigid wind hit my body and snowflakes were falling on the ground... I was back on the bridge or a form of the bridge at least...

The door closed behind me so I moved forward.

"Aideeeeeen" I heard the voice call once more...

I stumbled my way through the snowstorm towards a figure standing in the middle of the bridge. As I was getting closer the figure turned around and walked towards me with a grim smile. Its eyes glowed yellow within the storm.

"Oh you actually made it here?" he said slowly strutting towards me. "I thought you would sleep for way waaaaay longer" he continued with his sharp tone. "WHERE IS SHE?!?!?!" I screamed, my voice echoing throughout the storm.

"Huh, straight to it I see..." he said as he clapped his hands and the storm went away. Hundreds of bodies around me all stuck in weird positions held up by barbed wires. She was standing in the middle, crying as the wires were puncturing her skin. I was left speechless and the man started laughing. I felt my eyes burn and as I opened my mouth millions of voices came out in a single scream. His smile was scrubbed off of his face.

"And I really hoped I wouldn't have to fight today" he said as he pulled his long blonde hair back. He summoned two amber blades. He started walking towards me while a sickly looking yellow armor engulfed his body. My vision turned white and gold, my eyes started burning and I begun talking, all the other voices echoed along with mine.

I don't think you are aware WHAT you're messing with

The ground starts shaking and ripples appeared all along the realm

A lot of people have been counting on me using my full potential

Beams of light slowly emerged from above

I was stuck, up until this point

Screeching came from the pit below us morphing into a crescendo of agony

But I think it's time

I raised my arm reaching for the heavens... I tilted my head grinning. The skies opened and a beam of white light engulfed me. I felt the armor growing on me and rage fueled me.

"Your blood is gonna look great on me" I whispered as I ran out of the white light. I jumped and I felt my fists burn as I tightly clenched them. I descended on to him and he shielded himself with his blades!

*crack*

A shattering sound echoed throughout the realm as his blades turned to a million pieces. He was thrown back and most of his armor had disintegrated. I ran towards Lydia and I started unravelling the barbed wire off of her skin. I slowly helped her get on her feet. "Oh my God Aiden" she said as she hugged me... "I don't want to think what would have happened if you hadn't had come for me" she said in a low tone as I felt her tears touch my neck. "You are truly my hero, I thought everything was lost..." she continued as she slowly left my hug. She held my hand and she looked at me smiling... "Please, let's leave this place... Let's go somewhere else..." she said raising her eyebrows as a small smile replaced her distraught impression. "Where do you want?" I asked. "I don't care where as long as I have you by me... " she whispered in my ear as she pulled her face closer to mine. I turned my head, glaring at the man still struggling to get on his feet and without another move I grabbed Lydia's throat and I held her up. "Aiden, please, stop" she said as she was trying to breathe. I started choking her harder and harder. The bridge started blinking in and out of existence. "Please, I need you..." she exclaimed with a tear running down her cheek and the same cold, dead eyes she had from the second I found her here. I gathered all my strength and I smashed her to the ground. "YOU HAD THE FUCKING GUTS TO TRY THIS TRICK ON ME" I screamed as her face and body changed to that of the man. The whole environment around us was just a cold white valley expanding ad infinitum. "WHERE IS SHE" I screamed as I let him gasp for air. "She - she's not here - she never was" he said trying to catch his breath. "Then I suggest you start talking before I paint the ground scarlet" I roared as I kicked his face. "Oh not my face" he whined. "Noel of Sao Vicente under your command" he continued.

"Keep talking" I uttered looking down on him. "Let me just get in my feet" he said as he struggled to get up and in a swift move he swiped his arms through the air, smoke filled the atmosphere. "Oh hell no" I mouthed as I summoned my new blade.

I hit the ground with it, a bright wave emerged and all the smoke went away revealing Noel trying to run away. I caught up to him and I tackled him. I grabbed both his arms, I put them behind his back and I started raising them up. "You know, I can make sure you won't be doing any tricks anytime soon" I said as I kept raising them. "I'LL TALK" he screamed. "Atta boy" I exclaimed as I let his arms go. I went down on one knee, "Where is Lydia?" I asked with the calmest tone I could muster. "Look Aiden... Lydia was never here" he said smiling and nodding positively. I chuckled for a few seconds and after a bit he started chuckling too. I headbutted him and as his face fell down I grabbed him by the hair. "Don't you fucking stop talking until I tell you to... How do you know me and what is this place?" I exclaimed.

"Alright, alright... I'm a trickster, I use illusions to fool people... I know nothing about you apart from a few information from my employer. You're Aiden, the sweet girl is Lydia, deep down you wanna be her Romeo and something happened on that bridge... That's all I know." he said rubbing his arms. "Who's your employer" I asked with a dead stare. "Okay please don't break my arms but I do not know, my whole thing is that I take up jobs no questions asked and without ever meeting my employer... They just leave a folder with the information outside my house and I do the thing..." he said anxious. "Hm, so what was your objective?" I asked. "Well, to keep you here for as long as I could-".

"And what is 'here' I said interrupting him. "Basically I caught your soul while it was going down swinging after that fugly piece of work killed you and I put you in that little doll house, I control the illusions and I make you think whatever I want you to... Or at least that's how it works with normal targets." he explained. "Wait... So I'm dead?" I asked surprised. "No, not yet at least, the powerful warlock that gave me this 'doll house' didn't want you to die... They just wanted me to keep you occupied... Look, I want my hands... They're my tools so as long as you leave them in one piece I can let you leave whenever you want." Noel exclaimed grinning. "Where did the dungeon aesthetic fit with the bridge?" I asked. "What dungeon?" he said confused. "I woke up in a pit full of bodies and you're telling me you know nothing about that?" I exclaimed. "Bodies? Oh no... Oh nooo. It was supposed to be just a doll house" Noel said concerned. "What do you mean?" I asked nervous. "A doll house that holds fallen souls needs some serious juice... The warlock that made it must have used blood magic..." he said rubbing his forehead rapidly. "And what does this mean?" I asked even more confused. "You must be kidding... It means we're fucked... Firstly the warlock that did it is seriously messed up and secondly the souls used are after us and trust me when I tell you, once this shit gets your scent start saying your goodbyes... I'm sending you back." he uttered anxiously as he started moving his arms like he was untying something. "I said you won't stop talking before I tell you" I roared once again. Getting my heart eaten out is worse than losing my hands... I'm gonna take my chances..." he exclaimed pale from fear. "A heads up, you'll return a few seconds into the future" he continued. "Why are you helping me?" I asked. "Well the warlock fucked us both up... We're in this together." he said as he kept untying faster and faster. The realm started falling apart and I was peeking into the timeline I was before. "Oh and Aiden, come find me in New Orleans if you need my help" he winked as he clapped his hands.

*deep breath*

My chest was full of blood and Ceryx was still fighting with Azrael in front of me. At least I'm not too late...

I summoned my armor and the lights started blinking red. "BE CAREFUL CERYX" echoed throughout the facility. "Oh you can't save him now Alcyone" I said as I got closer to him. He turned towards me, morphed his hands into blades and attacked with both his arms. I blocked them with my gauntlets sending them back and I filled my hands with some kind of energy. I grabbed his head and I let all the energy out making his head explode.

The husk he called body fell down and wires started retracting back. "It's going to take more than that to end me" I heard him say through the facility's speakers.

I went towards Azrael and I helped him up. "I thought we had lost you there for a second" he said relieved. "Well as the bitch said It's going to take more than that to end me" I chuckled. "It's all for the better... You managed to control your divine form and you even managed to use your Grace" he exclaimed. "Grace?" I asked. "The energy you used on Ceryx" he replied as he examined my hands. "Ohhh that's what that was..." I said. "Now that you have your powers we're done here" he commanded. "Tell me Azrael... Have you heard the tale of Ceryx and Alcyone?" I asked. "Yes actually, the perfect couple with an ending dipped in pain... Ceyx as he is called in the story was killed by Zeus because of his hubris and Alcyone was turned to a bird" he answered confused. "Time for a replay" I said with a mischievous grin. "Aiden it's not your place to do that, that's not your world to save, let's go" he insisted. "I'm gonna save the people that remain alive" I said as I started moving towards the control room. "It's actually about revenge isn't it" he asked. "Ohhhh yes it is" I exclaimed, "Wait here I won't be long" I said and he nodded.

I ran across the walls full of malformed bodies and I finally made it to the control room. Cables had covered it and I needed a way to get in. I took a few steps back and I summoned my form's gun.

"Let's see what it can do" I exclaimed while I started shooting at the cables. Bullets were doing nothing, I kept reloading and I was getting frustrated. "What the fuck is its power... The other one had poison... What's this supposed to do" I uttered angrily while I kept squeezing the trigger. After a couple of seconds I felt it tingle. The more I squeezed the trigger the more it tingled and when I removed my finger a bullet hit the cables causing an explosion. "Hell yes" I said looking at the gun surprised. I suddenly heard commotion from behind me, sorrowful screams filled the air and I saw bodies move in the dark. They stepped into the light revealing themselves... Malformed bodies controlled by wires. "It won't be that easy coming inside «he said 'talking' through the bodies. "Try me" I said cocking the gun.

The bodies started moving towards me and with a few quick taps of the trigger they crumbled down like a tower of cards. I bought myself some time while the wires were repairing them.

I took a few steps back, I positioned myself and I started charging a bullet.

I let it go and the wires disintegrated. I pushed the door, I was back inside the control room and I started messing with the main computer.

"We are not your friend, we are not your enemy, we are your salvation and you can not stop us" they said in unison.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT" I screamed in surprise... "YOU SON OF A BITCH SHE'S RIGHT BELOW US" I yelled as I started charging a bullet and aiming at the ground. "STOP" ordered Ceryx. "What's happening dear?" asked Alcyone. "Oh I'm setting you free" I replied letting the shot go and demolishing the floor. I started falling deeper and deeper into a tube full of lights. I know why they shut him down...

I braced myself and I landed on my knees. Darkness was around me and the freezing temperatures of the sea were more prevalent at this depth. "If I’m right it should be riiiight here" I said as I grabbed a lever. I moved it down and the whole room lit up. Cables everywhere converging in a single place... A single person... A body was standing before me, wires connected to its every pore and tubes connected to the eye sockets. "What's happening" the person said. "I'm here to save you Alcyone...." I replied as I moved closer to another lever. "NO, I DON'T NEED SAVING, I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED" she screamed. "Have you ever wondered why they shut down Ceryx as the war broke out?" I asked while I activated it. The room started rising. "They wanted the war to happen, maybe money, maybe religion the only thing sure is that they didn't let Ceryx help the human race" she replied. "No Alcyone, they shut him down because he pulled the strings from the start, he thought the only way to protect humanity is to size it down so he would be able to control it" I said readying my gun. "NO STOP LYING TO ME" she screamed as she started shaking trying to move. "He used you Alcyone, your brain is what keeps this place together, he hooked you up in this facility so he can roam around the rest of them... He has dozens of people like you" I exclaimed as I started unplugging her. She tried to talk but without the cables only ungodly howls came from her as tears roamed down her face. "I'm sorry about what I'm about to do. You were the victim in a sick war... I'll make it right" I said as I turned my head around and took a big breath.

*bang*

Black liquid splattered all over my armor... Ceryx had messed with her so much that the last of her blood must have left her body years ago...

"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE" I screamed as I looked at the cameras pointed at me. "I took a peek at your blueprints... Without her all the ways out are deactivated" I continued. I charged my gun and I shot at the platform. "You still can't kill me" he replied in a calm manner. "Oh but I don't need to!" I exclaimed as I started running towards the portal. "You're trapped here until the end of time, without Alcyone and without the platform you can't take back control... They're free Ceryx... Every single person on every single facility is free from you and they can die peacefully." I screamed with joy as I kept running. "You had a single reason to exist and I took that from you... Stay here or terminate yourself, I don't care... The point is that you're done!" I continued. Grunts of dismay echoed through the speakers. I saw the portal and I signaled Azrael to jump. He nodded and he embraced the circle of fire. "It isn't ready just yet but the situation requires it" said Ceryx through the speakers. "There's nothing you can do now" I yelled. "I was making an army Aiden, my purpose was to travel the stars but stopping you just became my top priority..." he said through the speakers. The ground started trembling and a suit of armor broke through one of the walls tackling me to the ground.

He started punching me and rage swam through his mechanical eyes. "YOU TOOK EVERYTHING" he screamed as he kept hitting my face. I summoned my gun and I pushed it against his core... He didn't even feel it. "OHHHH ENDING YOU WHILE IN MY CENTRAL COSNICENCE IS GONNA MAKE EVERYTHING WORTH IT" he screamed once again while his punches were becoming more and more powerful. I smiled as I started charging it. "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SMILING" he raged as I was still unfazed by his attacks. "Well, I'll get to learn if my gun can hurt me" I chuckled. "WHAT?" he asked surprised. I laughed as I released the trigger. The bullet went inside the armor and Ceryx started shaking, parts of metal started melting and a powerful white light came through the helmet as he screamed. All the lights shut down and utter silence embraced the facility. His dead 'body' stood on top of me, "Fucking hell" I said as I pushed it off of me, still pulsating.

I got up and I took one last peek of this timeline... Every wall started cracking and water slowly made its way into the facility. The ungodly howls had at once stopped... at least the people were now at peace.

I closed my eyes and I jumped inside the portal.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I heard a voice

"Sir, siiiir you need to wake up"

someone was nudging me.

I opened my eyes and I saw Henrik's face almost stuck on mine. I jumped back hitting my head in the back of the bed. "Jesus Christ Henrik, please don't ever wake me up again like this" I said spooked. "Where am I?" I continued. "Sir, you passed out last night from drinking and I brought you in the guest room" he exclaimed. "Well thank you for that, I'm usually a better drinker..." I replied, still rubbing my head from the hit. "Master Azrael has requested you, please follow me" he said and so I did.

I entered the garden and I saw Azrael wearing a sword fighting uniform and stabbing a wooden doll with a sword.

"Good morning" I said. "Good morning to you too Aiden" Azrael said taking off the helmet. "Even after all my research I never knew you were a light drinker.. " he continued with a light grin. "Oh well, tough week" I replied. "Most certainly and it's gonna get tougher before it gets better" he exclaimed with the grin lost from his face. "I'm ready" I exclaimed. "I hope..." he replied. "Let's go to the watch room" he continued.

I followed him back to the castle and we traversed through the corridors once again. This time we stopped in front of the third gates, he pushed them open and utter darkness, the only thing visible was a faint light in the middle of the room. "Welcome" he said, "Hold my shoulder, stick behind my back and do not look down".

Azrael was moving confidently even though the path was incredibly tight, I on the other hand was anxious from head to toe.

Something was moving below us. It sounded like a river though I was too afraid to look and I don't think I could, even if I wanted to. I could barely see Azrael and my face was a few inches from his back.

We reached the middle of the room and he started talking. "Flumen saeculi da nobis oculos a te petimus" he screamed (River of time grant us eyes we beg of thee). The light in the middle of the room started expanding and blinking, I felt its heat hit my face. Electricity started forming and lightnings emerged from every side of the room hitting the light source. I heard a shattering sound and for a moment everything turned white.

When I could see again the room had changed. The pathway we used had disappeared and we stood on a circle of glass in the middle of the room. The light source had transformed into a ball of colorful flame and everywhere around us were galaxies, stars and black holes!

"Welcome to the watchtower" Azrael said with a proud smile. I was left with my mouth open...

"Wh-What is this place..?" I asked looking around me. "This place my dear friend is singularity... The place were timelines, universes and words collide into this magnificent globe of energy that stands above us" he exclaimed. "Universes?" I questioned. "Well let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet... We can only move through timelines. Theoretically we could jump through universes but no one knows how" he continued. "Alright, so let's work with that" I said nodding my head.

He walked close to me, stood right beside me looking at the flaming globe and he touched my shoulder. "You'll need your powers if you want to bring her back to life" he said in a sorrowful tone. "I obviously know that, why do you have the need to tell me now?" I asked confused. "I need to know whether or not I should warp you back here in case you ask for a way out" he replied. "Under no circumstance should you do that if I don't have what I need" I exclaimed. "The place you are about to venture to has a single purpose and that is to kill you, I need you to understand what you're in for..." he said in a sorrowful tone. "I do understand... I can't bear a life where she meant her last words... Even if I die, at least I'll die trying to bring her back to me" I exclaimed. He nodded... "It's time then" he said. "Can I know where I'm about to venture?" I asked. "I need to break you in order to get your powers so we'll use all the trauma we can get so no, you'll move forward completely blind." he replied while he started controlling the globe of flame."Alright" I exclaimed. Suddenly everything went black once again... I heard him scream and we were now standing on a rock in the middle of the ocean. Sea was everywhere in the horizon yet the globe was still standing above us. The wind was howling and the waves were hitting the rock with all their power. Flames shot up from the globe and jumped on his arms traversing through his body. "When the gate opens, you jump in" he said grunting. I nodded positively and I got ready. He pointed his arms at towards the waves and the flames rushed down creating a blazing whirlwind. "NOW" he screamed. I was hesitant looking down on it... The distance must have been at least 30 meters. "I CAN'T HOLD IT OPEN FOR LONG" he continued screaming. I closed my eyes and I moved my foot forward. I took a deep breath...

A leap of faith . . . A moment is all it takes

I landed kneeling down. I was in some kind of a factory, most lights were off, cables had engulfed the walls and the place looked desolate.

Let's see what happened here. I started moving around but nothing too scary excluding the general eeriness. I traversed throughout the factory following the signs to the control room, a computer could help me understand what happened here...

I entered the room and I looked around. You could see the whole assembly line or whatever it was and the place was filled to the brim with computers. I flipped on a switch and some screens automatically turned on. "Hello friend, I'm Alcyone, what's your name?" said a female voice coming from the screen. "Umm Aiden" I replied. "Nice to meet you Aiden, how could I help you?" she said. "For starters, I'm talking to an AI, right?" I asked. "Not exactly, while I indeed am inside the computer I am an woman, it's just that my conscience is imprinted inside this device." she said and I was left startled. "Your conscience in a computer? Hey Alcyone, what's the date?'' I asked. "Oh, it's August 27th of 2139" she replied in a joyful tone. "HOLY FUCK" I screamed. I started getting anxious and cold sweat run on my forehead. "Alcyone, could you point me to the nearest exit out of the factory?." I said staggered. "Oh Aiden, that's not a factory and I don't advise you to go out... Welcome to Zeta... One of earth's last underwater bunkers" she replied joyful as ever. "WHAT THE SHIT" I screamed and I tried to calm my self down. I need to remember why I was doing all this.

breath in

breath out

"Okay Alcyone, I want to know the rundown of all major history points after 2000" I exclaimed... I was determined. "You got it" she said and she started talking. "The start of the new millennium signified a start for a new humanity. Technology took the word by storm. The internet expanded into something that nobody expected and by the end of the 2010s more people had phones than indoor toilets. People started tiptoeing closer to the idea of creating intelligent life themselves but we'll jump back to that in a bit."

I took a chair and I started paying closer attention.

"Issues in the middle east kept rising and war seemed inevitable. That's why the Alpha Foundation was created and funded by most west world countries. Its target was creating a powerful AI that could erase war from the horizon. 10 underwater facilities were created in order to create the AI with Zeta being one of them. 2039 came and the AI was finally created. Alpha Foundation named it Ceryx.

Ceryx had one central directive... To keep humanity alive at all costs. WW3 broke out in 2045, Ceryx tried to stop it from happening but the world leaders decided to shut him down. Within 1 month 90% of the population had died and one of the few survivors activated Ceryx... Humanity's last hope. By the end of 2045 Ceryx had transformed the 10 facilities into bunkers and transfered the survivors there, away from the nuclear fallout. Cables rose after Ceryx's command covering the entire planet to minimize the radioactive energy that plagued the planet. Ceryx gave survivors the means to evolve and he created a body to be among his humans. After all this, some people rebelled against him and they unfortunately were deemed a danger to humanity. I have notified Ceryx of your presence and he's coming here to meet you" she concluded in a happy voice.

"Wait, there are about 100 hundred years left" I said. "Oh don't let that worry you, nothing exceptional happened. Within these hundred years humans lived happily" she exclaimed.

I heard a noise from the assembly line and I saw someone approaching. "Oh that must be Ceryx" said Alcyone. The door suddenly opened and a man in a scruffy beard and worn out clothes appeared. "WE NEED TO RUN, FOLLOW ME NOW" he said. The room turned red and Alcyone started screaming "INTRUDER". Well, that's a bad omen I thought and I rushed towards the man. Before I could reach him blood shot out of his mouth and a weird hand emerged from his stomach. "Oh thank God Ceryx you're here" Alcyone said relieved. "Nice to meet you Aiden" said Ceryx in a robotic voice as the body of the man was slowly falling to the ground.

What the hell was that!

That thing is humanity's savior?!?!

He stood before me, he was about three meters tall and that thing he 'wore' wasn't even close to a body. It was a mess of flesh and cables with three empty holes on his face resembling eyes and a mouth.

I was startled and I took two steps backs. I looked around and a chair was right besides me. "HELL NO" I screamed as I grabbed the chair. I threw it on the glass overseeing the assembly line and I jumped down.

I got hurt from the fall and some pieces of glass had gone inside my skin... God, I miss having my powers.

I got up on my feet and I started running into the bunker.

The corridors seemed endless and bodies were smashed into the walls asking for salvation.

Screams of agony nurtured the atmosphere while Ceryx was still right behind me.

"Ha ha ha keep running... Welcome to the road to nowhere" he screamed laughing!

I kept running on and on until my lungs felt like they were on fire

I think I've finally lost him though absolute silence is never a good sign.

"Help me" I heard in a faint voice from the end of the corridor. As I walked closer and closer I saw a man, dyed blonde hair, earrings, probably in his forties merged into a wall. "Please end my suffering" he said in the faintest tone he could mutter. I signaled him to hush. "I'm trying to survive, why should I help you?" I whispered. "I was a good man before everything went under... I was a well respected teacher in an esthetician school, I haven't done anything wrong... Please" he said with all his hope lost. Fucking hell. I grabbed his shoulders and I dragged him off the wall. His skin was stuck to it and chunks were slowly getting removed from his body, his screams of pain filled the air. The wall started trembling and a disfigured hand came through, grabbing his head and throwing him away. "I found you little mouse" said Ceryx from behind the hole in the wall... He put his hands through it and he opened it to its fullest stepping out. I tried to run but gates fell from the ceiling closing every exit. "I control this place... You reached this place because I wanted you and after passing all those people that had actually done something good in their lifetimes you decided to help this worm" he said. "I DID NOTHING WRONG" screamed the man while he dragged himself away. Ceryx stepped closer to him, he grabbed the man by his neck and he raised him in the air. "I love it when you try to escape" said Ceryx. He hit his foot down and an operating cable popped from the wall. He put the man on it and he tied him there. I started running towards them but Ceryx sent me straight into a wall. "I want you to watch cause you're next" he said as cables rose from the walls tying me from my mouth to my toes."Now, where were we" said Ceryx. "Please don't" the man whimpered. He smashed his fingers one by one and then he grabbed his hands breaking them. He broke a part of the table and he stabbed the man in the chest dragging it through. Ceryx's laughs and the man's screams of agony merged like a melody from hell. Ceryx held his hand up and then he shoved it straight into the man's eye pulling it out. "Time for the other one" he said laughing. "Esthetician huh.... I have some great products for those eyes and mouth of yours" said Ceryx giggling as he grabbed the sewing kit. "But first" he continued as he pulled the man's teeth out one by one.

He stitched the man's eye sockets and mouth shut and he tore them from his body.... Muffled screams came from the man's stitched mouth. "He normally whould have shut down from shock three tortures ago but those are the miracles of the 22nd century Aiden. I can keep you alive and awake for as long as I want" he exclaimed with what seemed like a smile on that rotten face of his. The cables started operating, they moved my hands forming a cross and they opened up on my chest. Ceryx broke another part of the table and he stabbed me with it. I started tearing up and I felt the taste of blood on my tongue. I tried to summon my armour but it kept blinking in and out of existence. "Well that's new" he said.

He dragged the makeshift knife on my chest and I felt the warmth of the blood on my chest... Everything was turning dark...

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 12

-Chapter 12-

"LYDIA WHERE ARE YOU" I kept screaming and screaming. Absolute silence echoed throughout the apartment. "FUCK" I yelled and I broke down in tears. The atmosphere was gloomy, dark clouds hugged the skies and the horizon was bleak . . . It started raining, water was maniacally hitting the windows, lightnings were the only light source in the house, droplets were smashing on the walls and you could hear the tapping. I need to find where she is.

I got up and I started frantically searching each and every room for any clues I could find.

I approached the bathroom and the tapping became more prominent, the door was slowly closing and opening from the air . . . It was the only room I hadn't searched. I pushed the door and I was met with a closed curtain.

I looked around and I saw blood around the sink. I peeked inside and I saw an ear.

I-It was hers. The Moon earrings, I couldn't forget them, she was so ecstatic when they arrived. . . I can't believe in my eyes, I don't want to accept this is happening. I took her dad from her and now she was about to die because of me.

My body crumbled down like a tower of cards after a breeze. My neck hurt from screaming and my eyes had turned red from all the crying.

I'm going to take his life away.

I got up and the tapping kept going, it was coming from the bathtub. I grabbed the curtains and I flicked it them open. This fucking sadist had written a message in blood, it was fresh, drops were still falling. “Justinian 20” said the message. I moved to the balcony, I got on the rails and I took the leap. My wings opened and I headed to the message's location.

It was an old apartment complex, I broke the door and I walked straight inside. I kept following the poorly lit corridor and I got to the end of it. A dirty wall stood before me and the stairs were on my right. I had to look twice, 5 fingers were nailed on the wall forming "D V". They looked like hers. . .I went to the room and the door was slightly open, waiting for me evidently. I walked inside and it was lit solely by red lamps. Photos were hanged above tubs full of liquid light and a desk stood in its end with a TV in the middle. I looked at the pictures as I was approaching the TV, all of them showed tortured men and women in awful positions. From missing limbs to bodies torn open and carved symbols like these people were some kind of fucking canvases.

I approached the TV and it turned on. I saw Damien standing in a room with Lydia by his side tied to a chair. Only her left side was visible so I still hoped the fingers and the ear weren't hers. "HEY CUNT" Damien said. "If you look to your right you'll see a bunch of dead Accursed and if you look to your left. . .Oops even more dead Accursed" he continued with a face full of pride. "I've killed bigger and worse targets than you so don't think for a godamn second that I ain't ending you!" he continued. I placed my hands on the table and I looked closer . . . I needed to find some clues. "I'm pretty sure you would want your little friend here to survive so show up in River Bridge tonight. Come alone and don't you fucking appear all powered up. Do as I say and your friend will walk out safe and sound" he exclaimed with a dead serious look. "Oh yeah, something else" he said and slapped Lydia throwing her down trembling. I couldn't control myself and I smashed the table.

I called Circe the moment I stepped out of the building. "Meet me at the old Depot as soon as possible" I said and shut down the phone.

She came in and she found me sitting in the middle of the empty Depot. "Aiden, It’s been days since you returned ... finally we get to talk!" Circe said with a sigh of relief. "No, not really" I exclaimed. "What, why?" she asked as she sit down opposite me. "Damien has Lydia and I'm afraid she's really injured... I found an ear, a few fingers and I'm afraid they're hers." I said with tears slowly running down my cheek. "I failed her Circe, I failed her again... Her dad is dead because of me and I'm terrified she's next". "Aiden I'm so sorry, we're going to take her back, I promise you that." Circe said. "He told me to meet him tonight" I exclaimed. "Tonight's a blood moon Aiden... Your powers are going to be dampened for its duration" she said concerned. «Look, it's going to be difficult but you'll have my full support" she exclaimed. "You know what, I'm going to head out, I need to get prepared for tonight..." she continued as she walked away. I rushed and hugged her. "Don't worry Aiden, we'll get her back" she said in a low tone. She stopped walking right before she stepped outside. "Where are we supposed to meet him?" she asked. "Santa Maria Church" I said. She nodded and she kept moving.

I'm sorry Circe but I must go alone, this was goodbye in case I don't return...

I walked out of my house, it was almost time. The moon was shining red, a scarlet hue engulfed the atmosphere and fog hugged Athens, the only warmth came from the flickering street lamps.

The place was sickening, junkies were laying down on every side of the pavement and the smell of trash creeped around my nose. I kept moving, I had to find them . . . I was heading towards the bridge, always thinking what I was going to do exactly. I know I wanted to take revenge but her safety was more important. Am I in my epilogue?

I walked up the staircase and I was finally there. It was desolate, I couldn't see anyone and the fog wasn't much help, I kept moving. After a few steps I saw two silhouettes on the horizon, one looked like it was sitting on a chair. As I got closer the scenery became clear, Damien was standing up with a gun pointed at Lydia's head whereas she was tied to a chair. Both her arms were behind her back and her hair were pulled to the front, I still wasn't sure about the fingers and the ear. "Well well well, you actually showed up, walked right into your final resting place . . ." he said with a disgusting grin painted on his face "didn't think you would accept your death just like that". "What makes you think that I did?" I asked. "Your powers are dampened, you don't have backup, you appeared without your weapons and you're up against me . . . That's a fucking death wish" he replied laughing.

He's kind of right I thought to myself. "I wanna see her" I said. "Well come closer, nothing's stopping you" he said.

I walked closer to them and he mumbled some words, suddenly a symbol with runes all over appeared under me and I couldn't move past it. "You see I don't want to let you come too close, not quite yet anyways" he said with a smirk. "Oh yeah and about your friend" he continued as he grabbed her hair and pulled her head back. I had a full view and the ear was actually missing, a bloody wound resided where her ear used to be. My eyes wondered through her dirty face and it was full of scratches and messed up mascara . . . She was crying. "I'M GONNA WATCH YOU BLEED TO DEATH YOU PSYCHO" I screamed and I tried to run out of the symbol but I burned whenever I tried to move outside. He started laughing frantically."Oh the fuck up became angry, everyone around you gets hurt... first Circe then this bitch's father, now your friend and eventually you" he said as he kept laughing.

"Please stop" I heard Lydia say with a tired tone. He punched her face throwing her down on the ground, "I didn't say you can speak cunt" he bickered. I tried to run out once more and fire had engulfed my entire body. I kept struggling and screaming!

The pain is unbearable but I must do it . . . I must do it for her. My right arm pushed through and slowly the rest of my body followed. His laugh suddenly stopped. "For fuck's sake" he said as he started saying some words I couldn't make out. Still in pain I kept approaching him rapidly, my armor started appearing and my sword materialized in its holster. I was almost face to face with him but he kept talking, I drew my sword and I started charging him. My sword grazed his shirt and I smiled, "You're mine now bitch".

A chain shot out from the ground tying itself on my wrist, dragging my arm down. I struggled to move but three more chains appeared and tied down the rest of my limbs. "You didn't think it would be that easy would you?" he exclaimed as he wiped the small amount of blood from his chest. "You see, this whole game was in my favor and I wouldn't let that chance go away . . . You are my target after all and as you should know by now I don't fucking miss" he said looking down on me. He started punching my face. "You see, my job is to kill you but you made it hard for me so I'll also hurt you really really bad". "Screw you" I replied spitting blood out of my mouth. He smiled and he picked up a crowbar. He hit my face, "You know, I'm gonna destroy you" he paused. He grabbed my hair and pulled my head up, he then dragged the crowbar slowly on my face. He pulled his arm back and he hit me again. "I'm gonna destroy your body and your soul" he concluded . . .

The floor was full of blood, both mine and Lydia's.He tapped the ground with the crowbar a couple of times and the chains turned around making me face Lydia. "As much as I enjoy watching you both suffer, the blood moon is gonna be leaving any minute now so Aiden I must keep the promise of fucking up your soul before you're gone" he exclaimed. He put his boot on Lydia's throat and he pointed a gun at her.Wait NO, we had a deal, I was gonna come here and she would leave this place safe" I said, trying to break free from the chains. "Well yeah we did say that but people lie, you made it personal when you dragged me all the way to this shitty country and when you killed my pet" he said, grasping her throat even tighter and making her cough. "I told you I'd end you . . . I fucking told you I'd destroy both your body and your soul" he screamed. "Time for your last words cunt" he said. He took his boot from her throat, he put the gun on her skull and he armed it. "I wish I never met you" she sighed looking straight into my eyes and just like that it was over.

He pulled the trigger

BANG

Blood shot from her eyes and mouth hitting my face. The bleeding from the wound slowly fell to the rest of the head . . . Lydia's lifeless body was in front of me . . . I was full of her blood . . . Those last words . . .

Damien's POV

That fucking cunt's last words, even I'm not that cold. How perfect, I literally couldn't ask for a more ideal scenario. "What a fucking plot twist, that's a stone cold bitch you have by you side . . . Sorry, had" I said but no difference. His eyes had almost popped out of his sockets, he didn't even breathe. I kneeled by him and I poked her head with my cane. "See, this head wound with blood still flowing out of it might seem disgusting but it always gets me to lava cake mood." I said, that ought to get a reaction, "What, too soon?".Still nothing . . . "Fuck, I thought that it would be funnier. I wanted to see the sorrow in your fucking eyes, I wanted to see all the rage and the hopelessness but sure, the empty look is fucking expected . . . " I exclaimed while getting up. I aimed at his head and I armed my gun once again. "See I don't think you'll say anything but let's try it nonetheless, Any last words Aiden?" I exclaimed and as expected silence. My eyes started hurting. Th - The sky, it's blinking white. The chains start shaking and slowly retracting. "Oh hell no you don't" I screamed and I started shooting.

I unloaded the whole magazine on his head but the bullets just stayed in the air . . . They stopped moving when they got close to him. A gold light suddenly came from above and a weird sound was roaming around us, kind of like a deep hum. What the fuck is going on with this damn contract . . ."I don't need a gun to kill you" I said as I seized a dagger from the inside of my trench coat. I grabbed him from his hair and I exposed his throat. "Bye bye fuckface" I exclaimed. I put the dagger against his throat and I sliced. Th - The blade turned to dust right before my eyes.I snatched his neck and I started strangling him. The sky was blinking and rapidly and you could see tendrils in between the blinks. The gold light turned to red and it started burning "FUCKING DIE ALREADY" I screamed in pain as I put all the strength I had in my grasp.

The light became brighter and brighter, everything around us was red and that pain was unbearable

Aiden's POV

Wh-Where am I?Oh God my head hurts like hell, what happened?Lydia. . .I rubbed my head and I started looking around, and I was certainly not on earth. The sky seemed endless and you could see millions of explosions happening constantly eons away. It was dark red with light blue, pink and purple waves travelling all around. I was standing on something that looked like a sandhill but the grains were light blue, pink and purple respectively. I got up and I tried to summon my armor but it wouldn’t work, every time it tried to appear on me it blinked and just retracted. At least I could summon my sword but only the second form.I stood high with clouds of sand dancing around me. I gazed at the horizon and the only thing apart from sand was an old castle. It seemed abandoned but it was my only lead.I slipped down the hill and I started moving.

I was walking for what seemed like hours and one scene was playing in my head, Lydia saying her last words and then the BANG. I wasn't really sure if it was real or not . . . I won't bear it if it was real. As I was walking I heard fire from my left, I saw a flaming portal opening and I rushed towards it. "Oh fucking bullocks" a man said stepping out of it. He was blonde with short hair. He looked like he was on his 30s, he had a book on his one hand, a cigarette on his other and he wore a tan coloured long trench coat. "The fuck you looking at" he said blowing smoke on my face. " I need your help, I don't know where I am and you're the first person I've seen in hours" I exclaimed. "Oh bugger off, I have enough on my plate, I don't need a fucking lost soul slow me down" he said. "Please help me, I saw a hunter kill my best friend and I need to find a way to go back, maybe even save her." I said in a low tone as I felt tears rush to my eyes. I couldn’t even think of the idea that what happened was real but I guess saying it out loud made it feel real. "Oh my god you saw your friend die in front of your eyes and you didn't tell me sooner? JOIN THE FUCKING CLUB, I'M NOT MOTHER TERESSA" he screamed brushing past me. "Please" I exclaimed grabbing his arm. "Look pal, I'm having a bad day and my portal bringing me here is the cherry on top so I don't care how your friend died, who killed her and how you died" He said lighting up another cigarette. "I didn't die, I just got transported here, I don’t know what happened" I replied. "If you're here you're dead, even if you don't remember how you died my point still stands." he said as he started walking away. "Well the last thing I remember was being tied down next to Lydia and seeing a red sky with tendrils and a gold light as a hunter was trying to finish me off" I said. He instantly stopped walking. "Oh fuck off . . . Red skies and gold lights, well that makes it interesting. What's your name mate and what are you?" he exclaimed as he walked back. "I'm Aiden and I'm an Accursed Reaper, who are you?" I asked. "Azrael you cheeky little bastard . . . Well Aiden, name's John and I'm a warlock." he replied. "And who's Azrael?" I continued. "Oh you're gonna find out soon enough . . . I need to leave so the quick version is you need to find a cunt named Azrael who-" He said. "Who is in the castle" I exclaimed. "Don't you interrupt me you little shit . . . He's indeed in the castle but the only way to go inside is activating your summons or being a kickass warlock" he continued. "This dude Azrael brought me here without a summons and I'm clearly not a warlock. How did he expect me to go inside?" I said. "He didn't, he wanted me to get you inside . . . He's been bugging me for a few weeks to guide you, I guess he wants us to become acquaintances." he said and made circles with the smoke. "Well he could've brought you here hours ago" I said frustrated.

"Are you always acting like a whinny little brat? I'm gonna open a portal and you're gonna jump in. It's gonna take you inside the castle, just walk until you find him . . . You'll know when you see him" he said. He screamed some Latin and a flaming portal opened. I stood right in front of it. "Oh and Aiden, take my card, I think it's gonna come in handy" he exclaimed as he placed his card in my back pocket. He pushed me in before I could say anything.

I went through the portal and I almost puked, powerful warlock my ass. . .I was right outside the castle, standing on its gardens. As I moved forward the massive gates opened and I went inside. The interior was burgundy with dark grey accents. I stood on an ash colored carpet that led to three other sets of gates. The walls were covered with paintings from all over history, from Monet to Munch to Beksiński and even some of Bosch's most horrific paintings.

Spiraling sets of stairs stood in between every painting moving in erratic ways into the uncertainty of a never ending ceiling.I kept on walking and I saw an old man come down one of the staircases. He came towards me with a smile on his face. "Azrael?" I asked. "Oh no goodness me, I'm nothing but his humble servant . . . My name is Henrik, how may I be of service?" he said politely in a German accent. "Well I'm Aiden and I'd like to speak with Azrael" I continued. "The master has been talking about you for quite an amount of time, oh he's gonna be ecstatic to see you . . . Follow me" he exclaimed while putting his hands behind his back. He started moving towards the other gates with the smile never leaving his face. "I take it you met the Hellblazer?" Henrik asked with a face of disgust... Kind of like an old lady seeing someone with tattoos. "The Hellblazer?" I said confused. "Tall, blonde, reeking of cigarettes and booze. . ." he continued. "Oh John. Yeah he brought me here, I take it you don't like him very much?" I asked. "Well he meddles with the other team" he said. "The other team?" I exclaimed confused. "Hell, Inferno, Underworld, Tartarus you know . . . The bad guys!" he replied. "Huh you don't like demons?" I continued. "Oh goodness gracious I only serve the light!" he said almost offended and he stroked my back. What the fuck I blurted. "Oh we're finally here, sit down on that table and I'll let the master know you're here" he said awkwardly and he quickly went inside the middle gates through a small crack. And I was about to comment him on his good manners. Fucking old people, even here. . . Henrik approached me once again."Master is ready to see you now" he said and bowed pointing towards the opening of the gates.I went inside and it was a gigantic old school dining room with a person sitting on a massive marble throne at the end of the room.

He got down from the throne and he approached me, walking parallel to the table. He was tall, about my height with dark long wavy hair, stubble and a black suit with red details. "Azrael, at your service" he said extending his arm. "Aiden, glad to finally meet you" I exclaimed while shaking his hand. "Likewise, come join me at the table, we have things to discuss" he asserted as he dragged two chairs.

"I've been watching you for some time now, you're someone with extraordinary powers and limitless possibilities . . ." he said. "Look, before all that, I'm confused about the whole situation and I would hope you would shed some light, I don't know where I am, what's going on with my powers and most importantly what happened with my friend" I exclaimed interrupting him. "Oh of course, I can't even begin to imagine how it is to feel so lost . . . Ask ahead and I promise you I'll help you any way I can" he replied as he took a sip of wine straight from the bottle. "Everything that happened to Lydia. . . Was it real?" I asked. "Well yes . . . and no. Let me explain. This place we're in, it sits outside of space and time. Everything you saw happen to Lydia happened but that's only a timeline from many".

I grasped the chair’s armrests tightly “Okay then, take me back to a timeline where this didn’t happen”.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet, I can do what you ask of me and I will but first we need to talk . . . While we’re here, what happened to Lydia simultaneously hasn’t happened yet and it has happened years ago” he exclaimed.

“I’m sorry, what?” I asked confused. I was getting impatient . . . I can save her.

“I know it’s confusing but think of this place as a TV, you can watch the timeline or if you don’t like it you can keep changing channels until you find one that suits you. You can fast forward or rewind . . . The most important thing is that you have the remote.” He said.

“Oh my dear God thank you . . . I would end myself if that was truly the future I had to live with . . .” I replied with a new found hope.

“You’ll need to be used to loss if you plan to follow the path of an Accursed” he said grimly.

“I get that but not this loss . . . Not her” I said. He touched my shoulder and gave me a nod of understanding. The thought of actually losing her made my stomach turn . . .

“Let’s get this over with, the sooner I save her the better so tell me, where exactly are we?” I continued

“Well Aiden, I would like to officially welcome you to Orbis Somnium” he said with a gleeful smile

“Holy shit… That… That’s where Circe came” I exclaimed and Azrael raised his eyebrow.

I moved back ready to jump from my chair “Are you gonna curse me too?”.

“Of course not… I don’t know what happened to Circe. What I do know though is I brought you here to help you…” he said, I knew he knew something more than he was letting on.

“Circe is my friend, she came here, she got stripped of her powers and now she has a bunch of Harbingers on her tail… Can you do something about that?” I exclaimed.

“Oh Aiden, you have dangerous friends… I’ll see what I can do but I can’t promise you anything… I didn’t call in the order, maybe one of my Acolytes did it, Orbis Somnium is a massive place and I can’t manage it all by myself but please, let us get back to our conversation” he declared.

“Alright, what about the golden lights… What about my powers?” I asked“Well, the golden lights were projected by me, I needed to open a portal here and protect you from Damien in the meantime… Black is the colour of a few different kinds of Accursed including reaper aka one of your forms. Gold on the other hand is only present in the Divine… The Angel hierarchy” he said and I was left dumbfounded!

“Wait, so that means you’re a…” I said

“Yes Aiden, I am” he interrupted me

“HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I met an Angel” I blurted out.

He got closer to me and put his hands on my shoulders. “And you are one too”.I couldn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth.“WHAT?” I screamed

“Yeah… One of your forms at least. That's why your powers are stuck.... Your angel form almost came out during the incident with Lydia but now they're "stuck" for a luck of a better word...That's why your powers don't work.” He said.

“Wait wait, I’m an Angel?” I asked.

“Hahaha yes Aiden… You’re an Angel… A Seraph to be exact” he replied laughing.

“So I’m an Angel” I said

“Yes, an Angel of war” he continued.

“HOLY SHIT I’M AN ANGEL” I screamed!

“Look I know it's a lot to take in but please hold your enthusiasm until after we talk” he continued

“I CAN SAVE LYDIA AND I'M ALSO AN ANGEL.... I FEEL LIKE A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IN A BTS CONCERT HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN” I blurted out almost jumping from my chair!

“AIDEN” he asserted and hit his arm on the table creating a surge of power that shattered the glasses around us.

“Okay okay I’m calm” I said trying to oppress my enthusiasm.He sunk deep into his chair and seemed concerned “You're here because the path you took after Lydia's death was... Let's say not ideal.

“What happened?” I asked

“These are information only I should know... The future we'll work to avoid is better left hidden” he replied still troubled.

“Fair enough, I don't like to imagine what would happen if I had to live with that... Keep going” I exclaimed

“You're a powerful individual and I want to help you hone your skills for the fights to come... In all my years I've gathered allies, some that are attracted by the divine and some appalled...” He said in a preachy tone… He was a follower of God after all…“Oh now it makes sense why Henrik became too touchy... A fondness for angels” I gagged.

“I would like to apologize for his actions but you're right... You're gonna need some help that's why I wanted you to meet the Hellblazer” he exclaimed.

“Hmm, he does seem like a man you'd want on your side...” I said

“Exactly... You must know that there are rotten fruits in every tree, you should know how to choose an ally… Some of them may be abiding the laws of the Light and others the laws of the Dark“ he continued.

“Look, I thank you for the tip, I really do though I have to ask... How do I get back to her?” I asked.

He sighed and he took a sip from his wine. “Well for that you'll need your powers and for them to come out in gonna have to force them out... I'll need to break you and bring you back whole once again”

“Anything for a chance of saving her...” I nodded.

He passed me the bottle. “Then drink up, tomorrow's a big day”

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 11

-Chapter 11-

“Well Lydia, here we are” I said as I was opening the apartment door. Light coming from the living room windows . . . Home sweet home.

“Hey look, how about you get some sleep and I run some errands?” I continued as I started making the bed. “Sure” she exclaimed in a low tone, she looked pretty uncomfortable. “So then, you’re free to do anything you want, plus you get the bed. How does that sound?” I exclaimed as I touched her shoulder. “I don’t want to take your bed, it’s your house . . .” she replied with a tired tone. I nudged her towards the bed and she chuckled, I haven’t seen her smile in days. “So now that we got that figured out” I said laughing, “how about you give me a list from the stuff you want from your house so I can bring them here in no time! Oh and whatever you need just call and I’ll be right there”.

I knew I was getting close when I saw the church . . . An old, colorless building that somehow attracts tourists. The underground tunnels started somewhere around here and some of them were extending under the church, that ought to be fun . . .

I had the supermarket list and Lydia’s list in my hands as I was riding down the elevator but I knew there was something I needed to do first.

“Hey Luke, what’s up!” I said as my friend picked up the phone.

“Holy shit Aiden, it’s 9 in the morning, what happened?” he replied in between yawns.

“9 in the morning and you’re still far asleep . . . Now I can sleep safe at night knowing the cops of the city are busting their ass off from early in the morning” I sassed while getting in my car.

“Oh shut up you dick, I’m after a night shift.” He laughed loudly as he always would.

“You’ll wake up Aria, chill out” I exclaimed.

“Bro we got in a fight again yesterday before I went to work, kind of on me this time but you know how it is, we’ll figure it out some day” he replied.

“Anywho” I continued, “I need a favor, have you heard anything about a murder of a male, ages 40 to 50, I think it was a pretty gory murder too” I uttered in disbelief . . . I never thought I’d have to have this conversation.

“Yeah dude, of course, why?” he replied concerned.

“Well, I need to know the location and if you have cleared the crime scene” I exclaimed in disgust . . . God what am I doing.

“Bro, what have you gotten yourself into” he sighed.

“Please, it’s really important . . .” I said

“Fucking hell okay, it’s close to the church of Santa Maria, there are some underground tunnels. Well, the crime scene is located inside a room in tunnel 13 but be careful, it’s really fucked” he uttered disgusted.

“I will be and I’ll make it up to you, how about I buy you a coffee next week?” I said, already driving towards the church.

“Sure why not, we’ll set this up another time though cause I don’t want to fuck up my sleepiness” he said chuckling.

“You got it, ciao!” I replied.

“Bye Aiden and please be careful.” He said yawing already.

“I will be, don’t worry” I replied as I closed the phone and I put on some music.

*Black wedding starts playing*

~~~

I was walking around the tunnels looking for number 13 and the atmosphere was horrid. All my instincts were screaming at me to run away but no, I needed to put my theory to rest. God, what wouldn’t I give to be in my couch right now, reading a book and warm rays of sunshine hitting my face but no, the murder had to happen in a dark, damp and frigid place. Why won’t the murderers change their style a bit, I feel like I’m in a fucking horror book with all these clichés happening.

The time was passing . I was walking around inside tunnel 13 and I had my eyes open . . . The place felt even colder and I thought I was being watched at times. At least I was getting close to the room judging from that horrid smell.

I still couldn’t get over the feeling of doom. The tunnels were extremely narrow and it would be difficult to escape if something happened. The smell was becoming more powerful each step I took and the sound of water drops hitting the ground was driving me crazy. I was already anxious of the way back.

The water drops were still echoing and the anticipation was killing me, "now or never" I thought to myself as I pulled the sheet.

I saw police lines from afar as I was approaching. . . Finally I stood before the closed door but the stench made me want to run away. I grabbed the police lines and I peeled them all off. The door opened with ease revealing the crime scene before me and good God, "crime scene" was an understatement . . .

The room was lit by a red lamp that was flickering constantly. Blood covered the walls of the dark room and weird scriptures were written on the walls. "Fuck" I thought to myself, "It's time to take off the sheet".

I - I have no words for the body . . . I wouldn't even recognize who the lifeless man before me if not for his tattoos. His head was beaten to a pulp and his brain was scattered on the walls behind him. I rushed out and I started puking, I couldn't take this anymore. "DAMN IT" I screamed punching the wall, "I fucking need to keep going". I stood before the door once again and it took all my willpower to take the step once again. His chest had some things carved on it but I couldn't make any of them out . . .

I heard a screech from the tunnel. I pulled out my phone and I started taking pictures of the crime scene and the body. I rushed out of the room and I started moving from where I came from. I heard the screech once again and apparently it was coming from where I entered. I quickly turned around and started running, deeper in the tunnel this time.

I summoned my armor and I coursed my hands through my face leaving a mask behind, I wouldn't want a cop to see me like that. The screech kept getting closer. As I was running through the corridor my claustrophobia kicked in. It seemed like the walls were progressively getting tighter and tighter. I felt like I couldnt’t breathe and I started smashing my hands on the walls as I was running but to no avail. I was stuck in here. I felt the corridors swallowing me. . . The tunnel finally seemed like it was getting wider. I took a turn and a wall was in front of me. The screeches kept coming closer and I couldn't really fight in a corridor. I looked at the wall and it seemed really old, maybe I could break it. I started hitting it and slowly parts were coming off. After a few punches a person could fit and I slid through. I bought myself some time and a bit of hope shined through. The corridors were pitch black. I summoned my sword and I activated its purple glow. The architecture was different than before, old masonry hugged the walls, poorly made wooden crosses were hanging from the ceiling and names scribbled all around me. Torches were placed on the deeper walls. The names decreased as I was moving forward and the scribbles looked messier. The crosses were tossed on the ground and they were more, so many more.

I reached a dead end once again. This time a massive door stood high right before me. It had a pitch blak colour and some inscriptions written on it in gold details, I went closer and I brushed off the dust.

"We saw blood fall from the heavens and skies turned crimson

Angels let out screams of sorrow

Hell is empty, the dead walk among the living

Be wary child, run away, leave this path forgotten"

For fucks sake I'm a reaper, I should be able to pass through, evidently it is their - my job to gather souls from unlikely places. I put my hands against the door. The vines once again started expanding more and more, eventually embracing each and every side of the door. It took a hell of a lot of strength to move it barely just so I could slither through. A hot wave of air hit me the moment I opened it. I grabbed a few of the torches and I threw them through the door. I was very cautious as I was struggling to go through the gap, prepared for anything or so I thought. The stench hit me the second my head went inside the room. I can't even describe it, my nose stopped working as I was making my way inside the room and as my vision was getting used to the darker space.

The goddamn screeches were still folowing me! FUCK I screamed and the creature started laughing, that's never a good sign.

To hell with that I said under my voice and I, turned my sword to its normal mode and I started hitting the door but not even a scratch. I summoned my pistol and yet again the bullets did nothing, it was like the door defleced everything I threw at it. . . BANG BANG I heard from the start of the corridors. The creature was trying to go through the wall gap, I have to think fast. If the door truly deflects my attacks maybe it's imbued with some kind of protection spell from supernatural stuff.

The hope died swiftly. . .

That's what death looked like. . .

Not something in a rennaisance painting or a job done by a seral killer, what I was seeing was real death. I was in a tomb. . . Bodies piled high, entire families shoved in holes made for coffins, dozens of others dumped left and right. The place was deathly silent but the atmoshere reeked of panic, the decomposing faces had terror drawn on them. Their open mouths and their empty sockets made you hear their screams inside your head. Bodies of grown women holding their newborns in their hands and two childlike husks in the corner of the room holding each other. I heard the screech from almost outide the door and I didn't want to move. At that moment I wasn't afraid. . . I was facing torment and for a split second death seemed peaceful compared to whatever these poor souls had to go through. . . Where am I . . .

I grabbed a torch and I moved towards the north wall were a rotten wooden sign was placed.

I couldn't avoid touching the bodies. . . The sound of stepping on rotten skin is not something I will be able to forget. . .

Oh that's not good at all.

"Unclean as they may be please Lord protect them

May they reach their final resting place by your side

Guide them to your light

Here lie the tortured souls of the Black Death victims

Under the Santa Maria church may they souls be blessed"

The ground started shaking and dust fell off the ceiling, something was moving the door and I'm about to find out what. I grabbed another torch and sent it flying towards the entrance. I heard a low screech and I saw a leg emerge from the door but it kept going and going.

The creature was huge, its head almost touched the high ceiling. An ominous laugh came from its mouth. "Not even a Hello?" it said still laughing.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU" I screamed grasping my sword with all my strength. "Oh he doesn't even remember me. . ." it exclaimed in a serious tone, "I was in the airport a couple of days ago but oh silly me, you couldn't see me couldn't you" it continued with a smile.

My eyes widened. "You were the fucking spirit, what do you want from me?!" I said, slowly approaching it. "Oh from you? Just your valuable time haha" it said smirking.

It closed the door and it started crawling around the room like a fucking cockroach. "You see, I picked up both your scent from the airport and Damien was right, his plan would indeed go prefectly" it continued. "What fucking plan!?" I asked angrily. "Well he somehow knew you would return to Athens and he needed a distraction for Lydia to stay alone and what better than turning her dad to a puzzle" it said and started laughing uncontrollably.

I felt weird. . . I knew I was mad but it wasn't the normal anger, I was calm, I counted each and every one of my next steps inside of my head. . .

"Nothing to say?" it contniued

My eyes turned black, my wings got out and I rushed towards it, within a glance I cut two of its four legs and I nailed the last two on the wall with my wings. It started screaming but I didnt even register the screams.

"Where is she and what does he want to do with her" I asked calmly. The spirit kept going.

I pushed it down on the floor, I kicked its chest and I put my hand on it, dark vines started covering its body.

" I SAID WHERE IS SHE AND WHAT DOES HE WANT TO DO WITH HER" I screamed. "He told me to tell you to go back to the apartment, I don't know what he wants with her, please let me go, I'm just the messenger" it howled on and on.

"Thanks for your cooperation" I said as I turned the vines to smoke, a sigh of relief came from it.

I grasped my sword and I slid it into its skull. . .

Absolute silence once again.

"Just the messenger my ass" I let out in a low tone as i drugged my sword out of its lifeless body.

Finally I could see my house, I closed my wings as I was in the air, I curled up and I smashed through the window, I was standing in one knee inside the living room, shards of glass all around me.

I need to leave NOW. I smashed the pillars keeping the room in place and the ceiling descended. I shielded my self with my wings and I jumped straight out.

I was now inside the church and the tomb was located exactly beneath the altar. At least it was night and there was nobody here. I shot the ceiling and some tiles fell down, I had to cover that tomb the best I could. I extened my wings and I flew straight out the ceiling hole with all my speed.

"LYDIA" I screamed. "WHERE ARE YOU?!".

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 10

-Chapter 10-

I opened my eyes and I jumped up. "Take it easy, lie back down" said Circe. "Am I dead? Have I gone to heaven?" I asked. Circe started laughing, "Trust me, if I'm here it's certainly not heaven" she continued.

I looked around and I was in the safehouse once again though this time it was much emptier. Most of the things were in labeled boxes. I looked at the mirror opposite of me and I was left speechless. My clothes were full of blood and there was a huge scar on my neck.

"Wh-What happened?" I said, "The last thing I remember is a knife going straight into my neck and drifting into darkness" I continued. "You're a fucking idiot, that's happened" Circe said angrily and then punched me in the stomach. "YOU FUCKED US UP AIDEN, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!" she continued. "Remember the piece of cloth I put in your armour?" she asked. "What about it?" I replied. "Well as our good friend was cutting your throat open because you wouldn't listen to me, I transfered you here using the cloth and I saved your life." she said. "Look I'm sorry, I thought I could take him." I sighed. "But you couldn't and we've got a whole new set of problems on our hands right now!" she said. I looked at my watch, it was 9 pm. "DAMN" I screamed and I stormed off. "We haven't finished our talk" Circe said. "It will have to wait" I replied as I was opening the doors.

She snapped her fingers and the doors transformed to a brick wall. "You dont understand, I NEED to get out!" I said angrily. "NO, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND" she screamed. "We have a conversation we need to finish and you're covered in blood, you can't walk around like that." she continued. "Start talking as I'm changing clothes" I hastily said. "I'm leaving the country, Damien is on our trail, now more than ever and I'm gonna need some assistance. I'm going to gather some friends and I will need your help." she said. "Wh-How the hell can you decide to change countries just like that, I'm gonna need time to think about it." I replied. "Our plane leaves tomorrow afternoon at 5 and you are not leaving the safehouse until then. . .We need to lay low" she said."Fuck right off. . .For starters, I'm not sure if I'm coming with you and secondly I need to get out of this safehouse tonight. I said "Same time as my flight to home, hardly a coincidence" I thought to myself. "You're coming with me for your own safety and we're laying low until we leave the country." she said. "Oh yeah?" I sassed as I was approaching the wall. "Thanks for nothing" I screamed, the bricks turned to ash and I started running. "AIDEN NO" Circe screamed but she couldn't stop me. As I was running away I felt something dripping on my body, I looked down and my neck had opened. . .

I was bleeding and the blood wouldn't stop flowing. Circe grabbed my and she dragged me back to the safehouse. As I entered the bleeding stopped. "The spell is still healing you, you're gonna be able to go outside without dying in a few hours" she said as she was wiping the blood off of my neck. I got up pushing her away, I screamed and I punched the bookcase. . .It got turn up into pieces. "Why do you even need to get out" she asked. "it's one of my friends, you don't know them" I replied. "It's the last day of our trip today and I wanted to spend it with them. . .I've been a shit friend lately." I sighed. I opened my phone and I started texting Lydia but no answer whatsoever, who could blame her. . . I texted my other friends and they all replied the same way, "where are you", "we're leaving tomorrow" and "The hag is looking for you". I laid down on the couch hoping to fall asleep. "Hey Circe, where are we going tomorrow?" I asked. "Greece, our flight is on Gate 3" she replied. "Where exactly on Greece are we going to, it's where I'm from, you know." I said surprised. "The less you know the better" she replied. "Huh, I love that song" I chuckled. "When will I be able to leave the safehouse whithout turning into a bloody mess?" I asked. "Don't worry about that, we'll leave together for the airport when it's time." she replied. "Okay then, goodnight I guess." I said faking a yawn. "Night" she replied as she was packing.

I woke up from a nightmare again. . .The time was 5 am and my plan was going perfectly. I had to go talk to Lydia, even if we're going to the same country I still need to explain and say goodbye. "She's for sure awake by now, she's always so anxious about flights" I thought to myself and I smiled. I left a note on Circe's nightstand.

" Don't worry, I'll be on time for the flight, there's something I need to do first.

~Aiden (obviously) "

I picked up my backpack and I moved slowly outside the safehouse, I was ridiculously anxious. I started walking away slowly and I felt something wet running down my clothes once again. I jumped scared and I looked at my clothes. . .It was just water. I looked up and I saw an old lady throwing water from her balcony. "OH FOR FUCKS SAKE KAREN, I'M WALKING HERE" I screamed. "How do you know my name!"' asked the old lady. "Call it a fucking hunch you old bitch" I replied. "Oh bugger off you cunt" she yelled and she showed me her middle finger as she went back inside. I changed clothes at the alley and I kept heading to the hotel.

*1 hour later*

I got out of the bus and I was approaching the doors, I spammed her cellphone during the ride but still no answer. I went up to her room, I knocked and still no answer though sounds were coming from inside the room. I grasped the lock tightly until it broke, I flung the door open and I saw her. I rushed to hug her but she stopped me midway through. "What the fuck are you doing here" she asked. "Well, you're leaving today aren't you, I need to say goodbye, rude btw" I said smiling. She was having none of that. "Stop joking and get the fuck out of my room, I have stuff to do and I don't need you right now!" she said, pointing at the door. "But I'm here to say goodbye aaaand I have a surprise" I continued. "Take a hint, I don't give a flying fuck about your goodbyes or about your surprises. . .You've left me practically all alone on this trip. You're staying here while I'm returning all alone at home. Honestly, things have been weird so just go away" she said with spraks of rage in her eyes. "I had things to do and I had to save Circe." I said angrily. "Oh shut up already, you haven't stopped talking about her, you've brushed all your friends off and you're now staying here with her. . . IN A FOREIGN FUCKING COUNTRY!" she said throwing her hairdryer at me. "Give me a break, I almost fucking died. . .Do you see that scar?!" I yelled as I touched my neck. "What fucking scar?" she asked. I grabbed a mirror and apparently it was gone. . ."Circe's spell worked!" I said overflowed with joy.

"Fuck off, you expect me to believe that?!?!" she said. "You're my friend, I suppose you would!" I continued. "OH you remembered I am your friend HUH, would you look at that!" she sassed. "Stop this at once!" I yelled. "You know what?! I don't need this and I don't need you so get the fuck out of my room and get the fuck out of my life!" she screamed as she shoved me away. "I'm sorry" I said as I was getting pushed. "SAY THAT TO SOMEONE WHO CARES" she yelled as she started crying. "Please stop this Lydia, I'm sorry" I said while tearing up. "No you're not, It's not real!" she said crumbling down. "It's not real, It's not real, It's not real" she kept mumbling under her breath with tears constantly running down her eyes. I laid down beside her and I hugged her. "What happened?" I asked. "My dad Aiden, he's dead. . ." she said in a sorrowfull tone. "I'm terribly sorry" I said. I picked her up, I took her to the sofa and I placed a blanket around her. We just sat there, looking outside the window. Hours passed in absolute silence. . . Birds were chirping and cars were driving around but everything felt like it had stopped at that moment. . . "It's time to go home Lydia" I said breaking the silence. "We?" she asked with a tired voice. "Of course, we're going home together" I replied.

*2 hours later*

We reached the airport and finally this trip was coming to an end. Lydia hadn't spoken a word since we left the hotel, she has been wearing her headphones all day just looking around with an empty gaze . . . Who could blame her . . . She never had a good relationship with her mother and her dad was one of a few people that actually cared for her. I just hope she doesn't move in withe her mother, that could be destructive for her. I need to find a way to help . . .

"Hey" I mouthed while touching her shoulder. She took off her headphones. "I'm gonna leave for a little bit but I won't be late. If you need anything and I mean anything just call me or text me, I'll be there in no time" I said. She nodded positively and she immediately put her headphones back on. I rushed to Gate 3, I need to talk to Circe. I saw her from afar and she seemed mad as I was approaching. I talked before she could utter a word. "Where are we landing?" I asked. "You stormed off in the middle of the night and you talk to me like that? Know your place!" she said almost yelling. "I'm not gonna ask again." I continued. "Athens" she sighed. "Perfect, I'll go with another flight. I'll call you once I reach my house." I said and I turned around starting to leave. She grabbed my hand pulling me close to her. "You are coming with me and we'll go on the safehouse, we need to be careful for Damien" she said whispering. "No we are not . . . Consider this a change of plans, there's a friend that needs my help." I said firmly. "What happened to Lydia?" she asked. I looked her straight in the eyes, I grabbed her shoulders and I pushed her on the wall. "How the fuck do you know her ?" I said, almost growling. "Calm down, your eyes are turning black, you wouldn't want to suit up in here would you? I did some research before I approached you." she said unfazed by my reaction. I took a big breath and I started walking away. "I thought we said you're coming with me . . . " she said. "Look circe, she needs a friend, I can't brush her off." I continued. "I know what happened and it's terrible but life moves on . . . She's gonna move in with her mother and everything's gonna be okay." she said, still persistent.

"No, it's not gonna be okay . . . She hasn't talked to her mom in ages, it's not that simple, she can't be alone at a time like this and I need to help her as much as I can . ." I sighed. "There's not much you can do, she'll move in with her mom eventually." Circe continued. "Maybe but she'll have the choice to stay with me and that's all I want to do . . . To give her choices, to give her back the feeling of control, a feeling she feels she has lost." I said starting to walk away again. Circe stepped in front of me. "I wanna see your parent's faces once you bring a person to move in with all of you without even asking" she said while raising her eyebrow. "You should have done more research . . . I live alone, my parents don't care what I do" I said while pushing her away. She shighed and she grabbed my shoulder. "What can I do to change your mind?" she asked. "Nothing" I replied. "Then I guess we'll talk in Athens" she said. I nodded and I started walking away.

I was slowly approaching Lydia and from afar I saw someone talking to her. His figure reminded me of someone but I couldn't quite grasp who it was but that was until I got closer, almost face to face . . . "He isn't, he couldn't be" I thought to myself as I was feeling my hand reaching for my sword that I had almost summoned. "Hello there, I'm Damien" he said as he extended his hand with a sinister smile stuck to his lips. "Aiden, nice to meet you" I replied calmly as I shook his hand with a death stare in my eyes. "Likewise" he replied winking at me. "Goodbye Lydia, nice meeting you" he continued and started walking away. "Who was he?" I asked. "A random dude that tried to start a conversation" she replied. "Random stuff about the weather, where are we headed and when are we leaving". "Did answer him?" I asked concerned. "I did but with false information" she replied. "Thank God" I said with a sigh of relief, "he gave me strange vibes" I continued. "Same" she said. "I'm not a fucking idiot to reply truthfully to this kind of questions, his puppy was cute though, it kept licking and rubbing on me" she said smiling. "Huh,yes it was really cute" I said but I hadn't seen any . . . I had something in mind but I didn't want to concern her. I had read some of Circe's books the night beforethe club and apparently, the hunters can use spirits for their dirty bussines, invisible to some but not to others. I am honestly afraid for what the future holds. . .

We embarked the plane and we finally took off, time was passing really damn slowly and I couldn't wait to reach home sweet home. Lydia was sitting right beside me, still with headphones on, looking out the window. "Hey" I said as I toughed her shoulder. "What's going on?" she asked as she was taking her headphones off. "Look, I don't know if you've thought about this but where are you gonna go once we reach Athens?" I asked. "Well, I have given it some thought but I don't know . . . Being all alone in an empty house is too much for me right now so as much as I hate the idea, I think I should live with my mom for now." she said with a trembling voice looking down at her feet. "I gave it some thought and you could come live with me" I said. "I really don't want to become a burden, plus I dont have any clothes or any of my stuff other than the trip ones" she replied. "You're not gonna be a burden, if you would I wouldn't have offered. Also, I have plenty of space and don't worry, I can bring some stuff from your house until you have the power to go there yourself" I said. "I really couldn't do that" she continued. "Look, I'm not gonna try to persuade you too much . . . All I'm saying is I have a lot of free space, I would like to help you as I can and you aren't a burden. If you prefer to stay with your mom I get that, just know that my door is open." I said nodding. "Alright, I'm gonna think about it" she half smiled and put her headphones back on.

The plane was slowly coming to a landing. It was almost midnight and the experience felt unreal. The city lights getting brighter but not too much. Rain was hitting the windows and you could see faint lightnings in the distance. We got our bags and we moved towards the exit. No one was waiting for neither me nor Lydia, as expected. I went to go get a rental and I signaled her to follow me. The only car left was a vintage convertible two seater, not the most ideal considering the weather but we didn't really have a choice . . . I took the keys and I pulled up in the front of the rental place. I put our luggage in the trunk and we went inside. I started driving in the middle of the night. "Hey" I said signaling her to take the headphones off, "Have you decided where are you staying tonight?" I continued. "I'm trying to text Anne but she won't answer, look keep driving for now, I'll try to call her and I'll tell you in a bit" she said. "Okay, how about I put on some music while you try to get in contact with her?" I said already connecting my phone with the AUX. "Do you know what to play?" she asked. "Of course" I replied. Immediately I started looking in her Spotify profile and I chose one of her recents.

*Your Blood by Nothing But Thieves starts playing*

🎶You know it's your blood that I bleed 🎶

"Indeed you knew what to play" she said. "Oh my God, why won't Anne reply" she uttered while angrily closing her phone. "Why do you call her by her name?" I asked. "Well, since she doesn't act like my mom, I feel uncomfortable calling her that" she replied. "Fair enough" I said.

🎶Tell me that there's some way that I'll get through the night🎶

"How are you holding up?" I asked. "I don't really know how to reply to that. she said, "I don't even know how I'm feeling" she continued, this time with a much lower tone. "You don't need to talk about it, I just want you to know that I'm here for whatever you need" I said. "My head feels like it's overloaded, like when you are at a bar and all the voices of all the people become one fumbled mess . . . That's the best way to explain how I'm feeling" she said. “I can’t pretend to know how that feels like” I said. Silence once again . . .

🎶Drain away my light like a leaking battery 🎶

We were finally approaching the city and you could barely see its lights in the distance slowly appearing through the fog. The rain was still going on with no signs of slowing down. “We’re almost there” I said in a low tone. “I wish weren’t” she said barely weeping. “What, why?” I said confused. After I asked the tears couldn’t be held no more and she started weeping. I stopped the car and I pulled over to the side of the road

🎶 I've never seen you cry I'm powerless to do anything🎶

“Why are we stopping” she asked through her weeping. “Trust me” I replied. We were close to the edge of a hill. I pulled the handbrake and I went out to open her door. “Come outside” I said. “Why?” she asked. “You’ll see” I replied as I was helping her out the door. The music still keeping us company.

🎶I don't want to be something I'm not to stay alive 🎶

It was about 3 am. We were close to the city and from that hill you could see the entirety of it. The lights blinking in the distance and everything seemed so quiet. The rain had calmed down now and the raindrops were keeping us company. We got up on the hood and we just looked towards the horizon. “Taking a breath and calming down for a bit seemed like a good idea . . . In this moment there’s all the time in the world” I said as I handed her a bottle of water from my backpack. We just sat there until she calmed down.

🎶 Now I'm stuck on one day For the rest of my life 🎶

“It feels like that’s what makes it real” she said in a low tone. “Huh?” I asked. “What I mentioned earlier, about how I wish we weren’t getting close . . . The whole situation doesn’t feel real. I keep thinking that the next time I’ll blink my eyes, I’ll be back on my room at the hotel, one week before, when nothing had happened.” She said fidgeting with the bottle. “We keep getting closer to your house and I feel like when I walk through the front door I’ll have to accept this reality and Aiden please, I don’t want to . . . I don’t want it to be real.”

🎶You know it's your blood that I bleed Tell me that there's some way that I'll get through the night🎶

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 9

-Chapter 9-

Screaming and howls everywhere

I jumped from the bed with cold sweat and warm tears running down my face.

The nightmares have been getting worse.

Three days have passed with no signs of Circe in any of the abandoned churches surrounding the city.

I have not exchanged words with anyone... the days have felt endless. I need a win.

The doors of the bunker opened and I headed out. The weather was really moody. The sun was cowering behind the clouds and a light fog has coated the city, a city still asleep with only some birds chirping , saying good morning to whoever was unlucky enough to start their day this early. Two churches were left on my list and then, if I had time I would join my classmates for a coffee... Only two days were left after all.

Both churches turned out to be a waste of time. Empty, gothic buildings with some rotten furniture and plenty of bird nests. Another failure, my god I need a break.

I showed up to the cafe and I managed to scare a couple of my friends sitting with their backs turned on me. The time moved swiftly and the atmosphere was really light, it felt like a normal day for once. I tip toed my way around their questions and I must say it went surprisingly better than I expected. Though I couldn't forget the fact that this meetup was more bitter than sweet. It felt like a goodbye and as far as I'm concerned, it was. Lydia emerged with one of the teachers so I excused myself and I approached her once she was alone. We hugged and we started chatting. Eventually, I talked about the dead end I've put myself in because I'm sure her insight would help.

"Huh, abandoned churches you say?" she exclaimed while gazing in the distance, "Chapels are technically churches too aren't they?" she continued. "Well I thought about that too and I've checked.. Even if you count the fact that they are too small for a ritual or something, every last one I've checked was entirely empty" I answered. "Oh damn... OH DAMN" she said jumping up from her seat and smiling, "you know where else you can find a Chapel don't you?" she continued and I was left entirely confused,"Hospitals you idjit!!!".

My eyes lit up, "See, most times you're stupider than a pile of bricks but others... Well other times you surprise me and that's why I love the way you think" I said while starting to gather my stuff. "I'm gonna take the last part as a compliment but nevertheless fuck you!!" she replied. . . "You're leaving already aren't you?" she asked with a lower tone. "That lead might make the difference between life and death and I'm running out of time" I answered. "Tomorrow is the last day you know" she sighed. "I do know, and I'm spending it with you if I find her today... That's why I'm on a hurry" I replied and I hugged her "Bye for now and with a little hope, tomorrow is going to be amazing". "Bye" she replied in a somber tone while I was walking away.

After a bit of research I found an old hospital complex placed near the outskirts. I talked with some people on some creepypasta sites. It's called the Eloise complex but it's known within the community as the Hiver Noir Asylum meaning Black Winter. Stories date back to the Cold War era where the clinically insane were living there and apparently some doctors decided to have some fun with them... Even after all the things I've fought, humans still take the crown for the most despicable. It's been abandoned for 10 years now and it's supposedly haunted, sudden temperature drops, constantly frozen windows and they say you can hear teeth grinding and 'faint wails of anguish of the lost souls', man the creepypasta writers have a lot of imagination. Recently though there have been reports of veiled figures appearing in the premises. Certainly a great contender.

The sun was setting and the scenery was perfect, I of course had the cover of night and the fog would certainly come in useful for getting there... Too far to walk so I had to use my wings.

I landed and dust rose from the ground around me. The asylum was desolate. Overgrown weeds all around the premises and vines slowly making their ascend on the walls of the building . It almost felt like nature had consciousness, like she was trying to reclaim these grounds and then, hopefully, drag this horrid building in the deepest circles of hell.

I approached and I started hearing a weird sound but I couldn't quite understand what it was so I brushed it off. I reached the doors. The windows were frozen and the door knobs were encased in ice.. they wouldn't open. I kicked the doors down and a faint scream was heard in the distance. The weird sound could still be heard but now it was coming from right behind me... I could almost phrase what the sound was.. it stood on the edge of my tongue but I couldn't quite grasp it. I roamed around the building for a bit and the atmosphere was suffocating each and every second.

Eerie phenomenons were happening as I was delving deep inside the building. Peculiar figures standing at the ends of expanding corridors, doors opening and closing by themselves, faint wails in the distance, sudden temperature drops and that awful sound hadn't seized in all this time... My blood was running cold and the exit had never seemed quite so sweet, yet, I had to keep going. The wooden floors were creaking on my every step as I entered a long hallway full of rooms. I kept walking and I was sure some of the footsteps weren't mine. Something was terribly wrong in this asylum.

I was startled and I stopped moving. A face was at the end of the hallway, it was tilting from the wall and looking at me. I - I couldn't move a muscle and the person, or the thing, or whatever it was, it was still staring at me. When I managed to take a step back I felt someone breathing on my shoulder. "Can I crawl inside your body? I feel so, so cold." someone whispered to my ear, then I heard that sound and it was coming from them all this time... They started grinding their teeth.

Countless nights full of feverous dreams and horrific delusions. They all came back, flooding my mind. Memories of that asylum deeply buried were now digging their way back to the surface. I've been here before. I was just a kid when I roamed these halls last time. My grandfather was admitted in this place... He was fighting with Alzheimer's but something else must have been going on in order to be here... This is an asylum for the insane after all. We would visit him during the spring and I can faintly remember the scent of daffodils as if it was dancing around my nose while I was running down these halls... These memories would always end up the same way once I entered the room of my grandfather. Seemingly normal but on a closer look, signs of deterioration all around. From dead flowers to cracked mirrors and even bugs crawling around. This happened every year and I remember that every time he struggled more and more to recognize me. He would tell stories about terrifying witches, fire breathing dragons and castles on snowy mountaintops and even those stories would start to lose meaning the more he kept talking... The words would start colliding and you couldn't understand what he was talking about. I used to have nightmares about these situations and I now believe that's where my fear of getting dementia originates from. After his death I dreamt about some of the other patients, they would visit me in my room at times and they would tell me how my grandfather's torment hasn't stopped... they would tell me he was burning in the pits of hell and that this was my fate as well...they would always grind their teeth as they would enter my room in my dreams..at least I hope it was in my dreams..

The grinding sounds were still right behind me. A weird figure in front of me, something on my back, black goo dripping from the ceiling and now a myriad of doors banging on their own right in front of me. I close my eyes trying to think. Instinctively, I form my hands to fists and I punch the thing behind me falling right through it. It was now walking slowly towards me. Its skin seemed burned and its face . . Oh god it was horrific . . It was just skin apart from a mouth with rotten teeth continuously grinding. It was getting too close. Time to use my powers I thought to myself, I punched it once again making it disappear. "Take the hint asshole" I said and I looked at my fists . . Dark vines all around them, so that's how I can defend myself. I begun walking, the doors all stopped moving at once and the figure in the end of the corridor was now gone . . Finally, some silence.

I kept traversing through the asylum slowly going to higher floors. Weird thing would happen but not too unexpected for this place . . Shadows, screams, the occasional teeth grinding from far far away and doors opening and closing by themselves.

"Sir" I heard a child's voice coming from behind me. I turn around and there he was, a small boy wearing old, almost torn, clothes. "Sir can you help me?" he continued hesitantly. "Hello little dude, what do you need?" I replied, slowly approaching him. "M-My ball . . It's in a room and i'm afraid to go get it." he said looking at the ground. "Hm how about we make a deal, I'll go get you ball and you can tell me if you've seen a girl with white hair and some people wearing black bed sheets, what do you say?" I asked with a reassuring smile. "Deal!" he answered and giggled. "Amazing, so where is that room?" I continued. "Well, it's that one." he replied as he pointed at the end of the hallway. I walked up to the door and a sign was above it saying "ARCHIVES", the door was locked, how do you lose a ball in a locked room I thought to myself. I pushed it and the lock broke immediately revealing the room. You couldn't see much, the only light was coming from the one window of the room, really made me appreciate how surprisingly well lit was the rest of the asylum. I saw the ball at the corner of the room and I went there to pick it up but as my eyes were adjusting to the lighting my blood ran cold. My name . . . my name was written on every wall and ceiling of the room. I picked up the ball and I almost flew out of this room . . Too creepy for my tastes. I started walking and my 'employer' was nowhere in sight. "Hey kid!" I yelled and suddenly he replied behind me, "Yes?" he said. "Okay, I found your ball, tell me about the girl and the people with the bed sheets and it's all yours" I said. "I thought I saw the girl coming here a few nights ago and going to the amphitheater at the top floor but i'm not sure. But, I've seen the bed sheet people hanging out on the top floor the past couple of days." he replied with a smile, never taking his eyes of the ball. "You have been so helpful so here's your ball" I said while handing him the ball, "how did it get in there though?" I continued. "I have no idea" he replied and he grabbed it off of my hand. "Alrighty then, nice meeting you" I said while nodding. "Thanks for the help" he replied. I turned around and I started walking towards the stairs. "Oh yeah, I forgot, do you want me to help you get out of this place?" I said, turning around to face him and he was already gone.

"What the fuck" I said out loud and I started looking for him. A few minutes passed and still no sign, I returned to the archives to take a look and the ball was once again there. I went to pick it up and I noticed that there was another corridor in the archives room. I followed it and at its end I saw the skeleton of a small child with the same clothes my little pal wore. "Oh God" I said silently as the realization hit me. The door closed suddenly and the faceless thing from earlier started emerging from the wall behind the skeleton. I ran but the door was somehow locked again and this time it wouldn't break open. "It's rude to ran away from a lady" the thing said while grinding its teeth. "Fucker if you're a lady i'm turning gay" I sassed while trying to find a way out. I saw a vent and I started climbing on top of some shelves to reach it. I broke open the vent and suddenly while I was climbing inside I couldn't keep moving. "You're not getting away" the thing screeched and grabbed my leg with its slimy arm. I struggled to break free but I couldn't and in the meantime, it kept climbing. Its head emerged and at that moment summoned the vines around my fists and I punched it throwing it on the other side of the room. "I'm not disappearing this time hehe" it said laughing while spilling something white from its mouth . . its blood I assumed. "Do what you want, I'm getting the hell out" I replied while I was dragging myself through the vents.

I heard some weird sounds in the vents and they became more prominent as time passed. "Oh oh" I said and the vents broke down making me hit the floor fave first. I've been through worse I thought to myself and I started running up the stairs to the top floor.

"Time to power up" I said and I summoned my armor along with my sword on my back and my gun on it holster. Harbingers started appearing as I was following the signs to the amphitheater though they would go down way easier than I remembered. The closer I got the more they were and by the time I reached the doors of the room the place was practically crawling with them. I cleared out the place and it was time to see if I had finally found her. I tried to open the doors and as always they wouldn't barge so a kick it is . . . The doors fall down to the floor and I see her, in a chair in the middle of the room just standing there, her eyes turned blank and dozens of harbingers flying around and screaming. I started shooting. That must have done something because she suddenly came to her senses. "You came to get me" she said. "Of course I did" I replied. "Come untie me fast!" she ordered while struggling to get free. "Stay there for a bit, I've got it. Plus if I untie you, you'll have to fight." I continued. "Don't threaten me with a good time" she said smiling. I approached her as I kept shooting and I slashed the chains with my sword, finally the harbingers were almost all gone and I now had some support. The thing came in through the door. "We're not done yet pretty boy" it said and it started approaching. "Damn, she fugly" said Circe. "She?!?!?!" I asked. "How did you know it's a 'she' I continued. "Follow me and I'll tell you as we're escaping" she said and she started running to the roof door. "Well, that's a vengeful spirit and an ugly one at that, basically if their skin seems like it's melting it's a female." she continued as she was kicking the roof door. "Such a smart lady" the thing said, now closing distance fast. The roof door broke down and we were outside . . . The thing was right behind us so we run to the edges. It slowly kept approaching. "You haven't seen what I can do yet" it said and smiled with that horrid rotten teeth. Circe ripped a piece of her shirt and she placed it inside my armor. "We jump on 3" she said. "I'm sorry what, this place is 6 floors tall and-" I continued but she interrupted me, "THREE!" she yelled and she dragged me down with her.

She muttered something while we were falling down and somehow we were safe. "WE COULD HAVE DIED YOU PSYCHO" I screamed at her. "But unfortunately you didn't" said a familiar voice. Smoke came from the roof and danced around the figure that was standing at the entrance of the asylum eventually materializing into the spirit. The figure stepped forward and he was Damien. "Why are you still on our trail" Circe asked with a disappointed tone. "A job is a job love and I have to finish it" he replied with a grim smile. "Let us go and let's put this behind us" Circe continued. "Hell no" I said. "He fucked with us again but this time i'm so much more powerful" I continued. "Aiden stop" said Circe. "Aiden keep going" said Damien. "You indeed have become more powerful" he continued. "And how would you know that?" I asked holding my gun tightly. "Well I've been watching you of course. Not me exactly but my friend Proxy here . . I believe you've met" he said. "Of course that's your friend" I replied. "Aiden, please let's go" said Circe but I couldn't let him go unpunished, let's not forget I now have a really powerful weapon ready to test on him. I drew my sword but his expression was indifferent. I started running my hand across it revealing its new form

. . he smiled and raised his eyebrow. "AIDEN STOP NOW" Circe screamed as the sword was taking form once again. I decided to shoot some energy straight to him but something felt...off. The beam left the sword as Circe was screaming "NO". It all happened so fast. The beam hit him but it did no damage, instead it came straight back to my sword. Circe just started running away. Damien raised his hand and I couldn't move a muscle. "You see I have some tricks of my own" he said. He started approaching. I couldn't do anything. "You see, you have indeed become more powerful but I still played you like a pawn" he said while he drew a pitch black knife. I could only watch. "Once I'm done with you my next target is her." he whispered in my ear and anxiety filled my body, I hoped he was talking about Circe . . I didn't want to think of the alternative. He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pockets. He took a the lighter and lit a cigarette. "It feels nice having you as my plaything" he said as he touched the lit cigarette on my face. "What wasted potential" he uttered and he slowly forced the knife into my throat.

I could taste my blood. Everything was turning dark. Hope started slipping through my fingers.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 8

-Chapter 8- Sylvia's POV: You need to pull yourself together I thought to myself as I was leaving my cover. "We meet again" I screamed at Abigor. He glanced at me and I could feel he was smiling. "Hahaha, the small girl survived... I still remember the splendid taste of your brother little vamp" Abigor replied. That broke something in me... Vengeance was calling my name. I started rushing towards the knight, he still had Aiden on his grasp and it was time to free him. I summoned my Twin Sickles and I started stabbing him. The attacks did nothing and I could see Aiden turning purple. I dashed back and I started rushing again. I jumped on some tables, I grasped my sickles tightly, I stretched the chain and I lept on Abigor. I tied the chain on his neck and I started hanging from him. He started sidestepping and I heard him choke, that's when I knew I needed to apply even more pressure. He threw Aiden on a wall, he grabbed my chains and he started gasping for air.

Aiden's POV: I started gasping and gasping trying to catch my breath. This fucker actually came close I thought to myself. I saw Sylvia hanging from him with her chains tied around his throat. "Oh so you finally decided to join the fun?" I sassed while getting up from the rubble. "Oh shit" I whispered. Abigor managed to free himself and he grabbed Sylvia pushing her to a wall. I picked up my gun and I started shooting him. The bullets were affecting him but he wouldn't stop. He kept hitting her while she was down. "You have no magic to help you this time little vamp" he growled. I kept shooting and shooting and after two magazines he screamed in pain. "Erebus...Drag your hand across its blade and let it cut you" Sylvia managed to say while Abigor started to push through the pain. I removed my gauntlet and I followed the instructions cutting myself. As the blood was touching the sword when I was dragging my hand, the blade started changing. It grew wider and somehow purple, it was shining and whatever was inside the blade it was moving around.

While the blade was getting transformed I started losing my armor and my wings, I was now a simple human with simple clothes holding a big shining purple sword. What the hell I thought to myself. I know I need to work fast. I rushed towards Abigor significantly slower than before and this time the sword was actually doing damage, it was really scratching his armor and it left an aftermath of energy after every attack. Red smoke was coming out of every scratch. He was in terrible pain... His screams would shake the ground but he would still not let her go. "You know what...You have taken a toll on all of us...I am ending you" I growled. He started laughing as I was letting the energy from the sword travel through me. I closed my eyes and I took a deep breath as I was trying to contain the energy. One breath, one movement, one moment and this torment would stop. I breathed out and a purple ray flew from the edge of the sword hitting Abigor on his chest. The blast left a hole on his body and red smoke was flowing out of it, he finally fell down helpess. I helped Sylvia up and we slowly approached him. I held the sword on top of his neck. "Sylvia, grab the handle along with me... It's closure for you too" I said to her and if she hadn't been through hell she would smile. "Any last words?" I asked Abigor. "Curse you, your children too. And their children, forever true." he answered as he was chocking. That made me smile. "So...Shall we?" I said to Sylvia. "May God have mercy upon your soul because I won't." I sighed and we pushed the blade through his neck. And with that, complete silence. He stopped moving and what was once the club was now a building in ruins. "Bastard" Sylvia said and she spit on him. "That's a great time for a drink" I said with joy and I headed to the few bottles that weren't destroyed with Sylvia right behind me. I jumped behind the bar. "Pick your poison love" I said. We agreed on a bottle of red wine and we were ready to start drinking. "You know what, it's the perfect time for a toast." I exclaimed. "To putting an end to unfinished bussines." she said raising her glass. "To lady death and may she be on our side on the approaching fights." I continued and our glasses met. "Are you old enough to drink?" she asked. "We killed an executioner that had returned from the dead...Do you want to see my ID or does that cover you?" I sassed. She started laughing. "Calm down boy..let me jest" she answered and she kept laughing. "Anyways, with your club destroyed what are you going to do?" I asked. "Well, good question actually...I've always wanted to move to another country for a fresh start and I don't think I'm getting a better chance... I can't help but see hope throughout this mayhem and well, a fresh start is all I need...I hope. What about you?" she said. "Hm, now that I'm powered up again I need to find Circe though there's a talk I need to have with Lydia." I continued. "How so?" she asked. "Well, you see she doesn't have powers and she came all the way here in the middle of the night while we were fighting...She could've been killed, I told her to stay away from me" and as I was saying that a slap hit me. "She came here to help you, you fool and you're going to hold it against her? You know, you might know how to fight but you really need to learn to understand people more..." she said with anger in her voice. "So what do you think I should do?" I asked. "You should figure it out yourself" she said and she took a sip, "Also about Erebus" she continued. "Oh yeah what's up with that... My armor went away while I transformed it" I said. "Well that's the thing... The hunger this blade has while transformed is insatiable, it draws energy from whenever it can and your armor is a great source, you should remember though... Don't hold it in this form for more than a few minutes after your armor has gone away, it starts eating life force and that's not ideal." she continued. "Alright then, I'll have it in mind" I replied. We talked for a bit more, about her story and about mine too, the bottle had reached its bottom. She placed the glass on the table, she got up, she took a sealed one and she started walking away. "It's time to say goodbye Aiden and about Circe you should try searching in abandoned churches, those places are rotten grounds, perfect for Harbingers...Give her my regards." she sighed. "Bye then, I'll take your words to heart and I hope we meet again." I said with a smile. "You shouldn't hope." she said and she closed the door behind her. Time to head out I thought to myself so I grabbed a bottle of wine and I returned to the hideout..It was morning by now and people have started gathering around the ruins of the club. It took me some time but I reached the hideout and that pun in the entrance always makes me laugh. I jumped on the couch and I fell asleep almost instantly.... I hadn't slept that good in ages. I woke up and I checked my phone. A text from Lydia saying hello sent 10 hours ago....God how long have I been sleeping. "Hi there" I answered and she instantly started typing.

Hello Hi there What's up MY GOD YOU'RE ALIVE You're not getting rid of me that easily ...... Look we need to talk Okaaay, feel free to say what you want Not here... I mean talk in person What's going on? Look, can you be at the garden behind the hotel at 12? Like... Midnight? Yes Alright... I'll be there

And so time came to pass... I dressed up and I headed to the garden. The place was beautiful. Bushes with unique colours all around... A fountain in the middle frozen from the cold with patches of icebound flowers surrounding it, benches placed under old lamps and snowflakes longing to hug the frigid landscape. I saw her and I approached her, we nodded and we both started looking at the frozen fountain. "Look" I told her, "I know I haven't been the most supportive friend. I've been so caught up with the -whatever the fuck this shit is- and I never took a moment to think that I didn't act the way I should have". She raised her eyebrow. "No matter how difficult this thing is, I should have considered how nerve racking must be seeing a friend you've known all these years put himself on the grasp of death..." I continued. "Could you please tell me what you did that you think was wrong?" she asked. "Well, for starters, when I talked to you about this situation you wanted to help and I did my best to stop you from that, even if I wanted to protect you I should have been a bit more careful. Next when I lost my bluetooth I didn't even try to contact you another way which led you to coming to help me.. I should have escorted you out of harms way that very moment but instead I screamed at you and I returned to the shitshow... Lastly, I should have contacted you the moment I was safe..." I replied. "Hm" she said, "Do you know why I called you here?". "No" I replied. "Look, I do want to apologise myself... I felt like a burden coming on the club, I shouldn't be something else you have to have your mind on". "Wait" I said interrupting her, "I never got to tell you that but thank you... You weren't a burden... on the contrary, I don't know how that fight would have ended if you hadn't stepped in at that moment". "Nevertheless, we had a deal and I broke it... The moment that I saw those pieces of rubble fly towards us I knew that I shouldn't have been there and the fact that I made you endure the hit really made me feel bad" she continued. "Please don't do this... You were the best support I could have asked for" I said. "This world isn't for me and I can't pretend that I am able to withstand the anxiety that comes with it... I don't know if I can help you anymore and that includes comms... It's hard for me to say that you know" she sighed. "I understand... The moment I saw him approaching you... I've never felt so much concern and so much hate, not towards him... Towards me for dragging you into all...that" I said. "What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry and thank you.... You were a big help and I'd feel happy to have you on the comms if you're up to it..." I said with a small smile. "There's another thing... The trip ends in a couple of days and you'll be alone here which will make the situation even worse. I'm asking you... Leave this behind and come home with the rest of us" she continued. "I can't do that... I would love to return to how things were but now that's something I'm unable to do... My plan now is saving Circe, returning home and finding a way to get these stuff off of me" I sighed. "That sounds fair" she said, "So, all good?". "It seems like it..." I replied, "We still have a night to spare, what are you in the mood for?". "Okay, I have a great idea. We head to this great 24/7 diner, get a bite, a drink and then walk in the old city" she said excited. "You know what... I dig that, let's not waste a moment!" I replied. And so we begun. We headed to the diner and we bought some snacks and hot chocolate . We started walking around talking laughing and just enjoying this part of the city. The cold was stinging a bit but nothing we couldn't handle, I didn't really mind because it was just what was needed for the scenery to look like that. Roofs covered in snow all around, tall trees almost crystallised by the cold and snowflakes dancing in the breeze. The time was passing fast and after walking around for hours we concluded that we should return. We were moving in an alley to save time and we saw a person emerge from its end. I have a bad feeling I thought to myself, I looked behind us and I noticed someone was on our tail. "Give me your gloves" I said with a low voice and that's exactly what she did. I summoned my gauntlets and I covered them with the gloves. We had almost reached the end of the street but the man was still blocking, he now had his hand inside his jacket... We were getting closer and closer. "Look what we have here" the man said while drawing a knife , "such a great night to do a good deed and help my poor soul". We tried to step back but a woman was in the way with a knife on her hand as well . "I don't think they are really into charity love" she said to who I presume was her boyfriend. "Here's the thing kids, if you give us your stuff we'll let you go, it would be terrible to stain this street with blood wouldn't it" the man said to us, "I like your pink gloves dude, really... Manly" he continued and the couple started chucking. "Oh you have no idea" I said under my breath. "Don't" Lydia told me. "We don't have all night, start with your wallets" said the woman. "You heard the lady, now hurry... It would be a pity for something bad to happen to your lady friend... You get me dude, man to man, you know how that is, she looks like fun" the man said and I felt my heart pumping. "You done fucked up" said Lydia. "Stop talking girl" said the man while putting the knife closer to her throat. I grabbed the hand and I smashed his elbow, a loud crack echoed in the alley, the man fell down and he started screaming in pain and in disbelief. "You little shit!" screamed the woman and she tried to stab me but I blocked the knife with my gauntlets. "What the fuck" she muttered and I grabbed her head with my arm, I smiled and I smashed it on the wall letting her drop down unconscious. His screams were still going and I saw Lydia kicking him in the guts. "His stupid voice enrages me" I said to her and I approached him. "Nah I got it" she said, she took a few steps back and she kicked him in the head knocking him out. "Ouch, that's gonna hurt like a bitch when he wakes up" I chuckled. "Thank you... Exactly what I was going for" she replied and she started laughing. "I hope you won't kick me too but I may have stained your gloves with a tiny bit of blood" I said. "Nah they make them look less childish... You know, the blood really brings out a murderous intent the normal pink just can't" she replied smiling. "Cool point of view... Does that mean I should stain your pyjamas too?" I said with a grin. "Sheesh, I'm trying to make a joke here and you take it as a chance to hit more people" she laughed. "On my defense I read on a fashion magazine that scarlet red is gonna be worn a lot this year" I continued. "Admitting you're reading fashion magazines isn't a great defense per say but you do you" she replied with a laugh. "We should probably call the police shouldn't we?" I said and she pulled out her phone. "Already on it" she Said. She left an anonymous tip and we continued our wall back. Some time passed and we finally managed to reach the hotel. I followed her to the lobby "So I guess this is goodnight" I said. "Oh, you're not going to your room?" she asked. "We shouldn't give miss old hag the chance to ask questions should we" I replied. "Fair" she said, "That was fun... You know, up until the mugging part". "Attempted mugging you mean... But yeah, it was fun" I said. "The trip days are running out" she continued, "we should do something tomorrow". "I would love to but I have a lead for Circe that I need to follow... Can't wait for when I get back so we can hang out more" I said. "Likewise" she said and she yawned, "I guess it's goodnight then". "I guess it is" I replied with a smile, "Goodnight". "Night" she answered and she started going up the stairs. Time to go back to the hideout and be all alone I thought to myself and I sighed. I walked out of the hotel and the sun was rising.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 7

-Chapter 7-

"What the actual fuck" screamed the barwoman. Absolute silence befell the club everyone was waiting for what would come next. I chuckled and Sylvia gave me an angry look. The glass panels of the roof started cracking, you could hear the cracks moving closer to our direction. You could almost see them too. The cracking stopped. Silence all around us.

Suddenly a terrible screech! The roof shattered, a million pieces of glass all around us, it was truly beautiful. The purple and pink lights reflected on all the tiny pieces dancing around us but the beauty would soon seize. A black ray started coming from above and harbingers slowly emerged. "Battle stations" screamed Sylvia. All the vampires around extended their teeth even more and nails came out of their hands. Three of them rushed straight to Sylvia, they were different, they had a light armor, and small blades though they had no nails. "The cavalry I presume" I said chuckling. "Silence" said Sylvia, "What are these?". "I'd think an Accursed Omni would know" I replied. "Damnit Circe, what have you done this time... As for you..", "Aiden" i interrupted her. "Well as for you Aiden, I presume you are the target so i shall leave you perish...I will give them exactly what they want!". "So you would leave a friend of Circe's behind?" i asked. "Circe can get herself out of trouble and trust me when I tell you I do not care about her friends!" she growled. A bloodbath was happening right before our eyes and we knew that death was -slowly but steadily- coming towards us. "I get that you don't care about me but I do know you care about your people, about your "kingdom" and about yourself. Even if these creatures take me you know that they will leave no one behind so I ask you... are you sure you want to let them have me?" I said looking right inside her glowing eyes. The horrible stench of blood was all around us. "Even if I decided not to give you up to them there is nothing you could do...nothing" she said. "I came here to get a skeleton weapon...Circe told me you would have at least one here. If you would give me it I could return to my full power. I've fought them before and after all you wouldn't think Circe would ask help from someone that couldn't stand up to it" I exclaimed. Harbingers kept emerging from the dark corners of the club. "Fine then, follow me but if you fail, trust me when I tell you that I'll be having your lifeless body for dinner, ohh you don't know how much I want to taste your blood." she said with a terrible grin. "Awww, always a sweetie" I replied. "Bodyguards....Follow me" she growled and the armored vampires started following us. All hell had broken loose, the club was getting destroyed, screaming everywhere and you could almost taste the sorrow. A harbinger lunged at us, I pushed Sylvia out of the way and I somehow escaped too, we nodded. The creature charged me, it hit me pushing me to the side. I saw it move towards Sylvia. Rage was swimming inside the eyes of the bodyguards. The creature managed to grab her head and she struggled but in the end she fell down on her feet. Something gray was getting dragged from within her mouth. At that point a Bodyguard shot it with an arrow, it became smoke and flew right into the ray, it went away maybe a little too easy. I tried to help her up but she wouldn't accept my assistance. She just nodded and we kept walking. I followed her inside the back doors, the bodyguards were right by us and they closed the entrance following us inside. The screams were muffled but you could still hear them behind the door. We kept walking fast but harbingers would keep entering this part of the building passing through the closed doors slowly. The bodyguards started attacking one by one... They could fight better than I thought though it was obvious who would eventually win. Sylvia waved her hand and a door appeared, she pushed me inside and the door closed behind us. The room was scarlet red with medieval decorations, axes on the walls and in the middle a glass case was placed. Inside there was a sword made of bones. "Here you go then, take it and show me if what you're saying is indeed true" she said. As i was walking towards the case I felt something pulling me towards it. It was under the case... I could feel it reaching for me. "Wait" I said. "Something else is here...I feel it calling me. It's under the case". "Oh God" she said. "You might actually be as powerful as you proclaim to be". She approached the case, she extended one of her nails pushing it inside her palm and placing in on the case. With that, the whole room rotated...we were suddenly upside down and I saw that the sword was now different...Its color was black as night itself, you could feel the gravity near it pulling you. "It was supposed to be mine you know" she said disappointed , "It calls to you now and that is something out of my control. My kingdom used to call it Erebus, the sword worthy of an Accursed ruler ". I nodded and I slowly walked to it. I extended my arm and it broke the case flying on to me, the lights flickered and all the glass frames broke. The bodyguards were getting overwhelmed and harbingers would soon break the doors. It was time finally. I transformed holding the sword and tendrils started coming out of my armor slowly binding it. The binding had not concluded but it was time to move. She summoned two sickles with chains in their handles. She opened the doors stabbing a harbinger with a war cry killing it instantly. We kept moving towards the club, alas I had a promise to keep. The bodyguards were in the front and me and Sylvia were side by side walking within these broken halls. The binding was still not ready but I could feel power on the grasp of my hands increasing fast and my wings were slowly raising. The binding was almost done and I could FEEL it , I started smiling, I was ready to shed some blood. "STOP" I yelled and everyone looked at me. "I'm going first" I said with a grin. Black tendrils were coming out of my eyes and mouth. Everyone seemed kinda scared. I chuckled and I kicked the door open revealing the battleground. Bodies flying everywhere and blood splattered across the walls. Finally it was time to get some retribution and I knew the sword itself lusted for death. I flung my wings open and I flew inside stabbing every unlucky bastard that stood in my way. "RUSH IN THE BACK" I screamed but nothing. "DO WHAT HE SAYS" screamed Sylvia and everyone started running towards her. I pointed my sword at the air and I started draining the ray. I flew higher and higher, strands of darkness all around me. The entire city stood under my feet. "A storm is coming" I screamed "And I'm ready to kill Zeus himself" I continued. Lightnings came from the heavens hitting the dark strands. I closed my wings and I started descending with the sword pointing at the ground. Lightnings and darkness were dancing around me. I hit the ground creating a crater. The sonic boom of the drop along with the lightnings evaporated the dark ray. All the harbingers were pushed back and they were cowering in the shadows of the corners of the club. "It's over" said Sylvia letting out a sigh. With that the Harbingers turned to smoke and jumped to the middle of this gigantic hall. "We are not lucky enough" I replied grasping my sword tightly. The smoke started concentrating slowly forming a tall figure. As the legs started taking shape I heard Sylvia gasp, "It - it can't be" she said under her breath. "That is not possible" she continued, the horror in her voice brought out the words one by one like dragging them within her throat. "H-How" she whispered while the figure was still forming. I rushed to her grabbing her by her shoulders and stopping her line of sight with the figure. "Tell me what's going on" I exclaimed trying to get her attention off of it. "This shouldn't be possible" she kept going looking me straight in my eyes."I don't know what's going on and obviously you are aware of something I am not so tell me what it is and how we stop it!" I screamed. "His name was Abigor the knight of thorns, he was an executioner in my realm thousands of years ago with his title forgotten by history itself, only the ones that met him and survived still remember this awful, awful name" she grunted. "I think he is nothing we can't handle" I said determined. "He killed my family Aiden, this abomination is the reason I had to grow up alone...the reason I became an Omni. I became what I am because I had no other choice" she

whimpered. "What happened to you is terrible....You survived once and you'll do it again." I exclaimed. "I'm sorry" was all she could mutter. I hugged her and I felt her shivering.... It's something I have to do myself. Abigor was standing a few meters in front of me now starting to actually move. He was the size of a small building...He wore a dark gray worn armor along with a shield and a sword. I know where he got his name from...He was entirely covered in thorns and so did his equipment. His whole aesthetic reminded me of my gun I thought to myself.

"Let's do this asshole" I screamed taunting him. The only thing he did was growl....You could see his hot breath coming out of the helmet. He hit his shield with his sword. "Oh it's on" I whispered to myself and I grasped my sword tightly. I opened my wings, I smiled and I flew straight to him hitting him with my sword and then flew away. Nothing, not even a scratch. "Let's try this again" I hissed. I rushed straight to him, he raised his sword to attack but I managed to dodge it. I felt something hit me and everything started spinning. I hit the ground and i saw him wiping his shield. He started laughing with a voice deeper than the depths of hell. He came towards me and he started kicking me while I was still down. The room slowly turning black. "HEY FUCKFACE" I heard from the entrance and a molotov hit Abigor only slightly startling him. I managed to crawl away from him. It was Lydia and now a fucking resurrected executioner started moving towards her. I had to do something fast....Sylvia might be able to help.

I rushed towards her. She was still trembling with her bodyguards around her. "TELL ME HOW I CAN SLOW HIM DOWN NOW" I screamed into her face. "I - I dont know" she kept rambling. "His legs" said one of the bodyguards "that should buy you some time". I nodded, grabbed the bow from his hands and I started running, my wings still injured from the kicking. "Fuck, I cant reach him in time" I said to myself. I hope this works for the sake of her. I took my sword and I placed it on the bow, I took a breath while dragging the string back with all the power I had in me. I breathed out and with that my sword was cutting the air. It hit his leg impaling itself deep inside. Abigor didn't even scream. He just kneeled punching the ground. I passed right by him I grabbed Lydia and I pushed her further back. "You can't be here.. Leave NOW" I raged. As I was saying that a piece of rumble flew straight at us, I went in front of Lydia to protect her opening my wings and bracing for impact.Dust all around us. "Please, just go and we'll talk later" I said with the calmer tone I could mutter."O-Okay" she mumbled and I could see she was shook. I saw her leaving and I returned to the hall. "Alright fuckface...You just made it personal" I said and I screamed as I attacked him but before I could touch him he raised his shield and he bashed me with it. I hit the wall again. I could taste the blood and the metal. "This clearly isn't working" I thought to myself as I saw Abigor approach me. He tried to kick me again but I have learned from at least some of my mistakes. As his dirty sabatons approached my face I pulled my sword and I thrusted it right into his foot. He groaned in pain and he fell back. I jumped and I started hitting his head and his torso but still, not even a scratch on his armor. I could only buy time by hitting his legs. At least enough for Lydia to get far away I hope... As I was trying to even scratch the armor a punch hit me. He got back up and he attacked with his sword. I ducked and I hit his legs another time. "This is not going to work again" he said while laughing. I dashed back and I summoned my gun. "Where did you find this weapon?" he asked. "Let's just say it was a gift from a friend fuckface" I replied and I started shooting. He put up his shield and he started running towards me. His shield was affected by the bullets, like it was getting hit by acid. Green vines started appearing on it and smoke started emerging from it. Abigor dropped the shield growling and he grabbed me knocking my gun off my hand. He brought me close to his helmet. Thorns scratching my face and his hot and horrid breath hitting me. "You thought I would let you get away...No one disrespects Abigor the knight of thorns" he growled. "Oh, he's talking in third person now, always a good sign... God, you're so cliche" I said chuckling. He growled and he started putting more pressure in his grasp. "I'm going to watch your intestines come out of your mouth" he growled. I was struggling but I couldn't escape his grasp...Everything was turning black.

Sylvia's POV:

"Th-This can't be happening" I was thinking to myself over and over and I couldn't stop. This is literally impossible.. This beast killed my family thousands of years ago in a whole different dimension.. How could he return even bigger than he was. Sounds all around me but I couldn't focus. how can I stop him ? . I still remember that age.

Flashback

Ahh I can almost feel the rays of sunshine hit my face and the smell of oranges dance around my nose. We lived in a small village, knew all our neighbors and I faintly remember the afternoons that all the kids would go play outside until the early hours of the morning. my queen . Everything felt ideal and everyone seemed happy. Nothing ever lasts... I've heard stories about the Pine Keep and I always used to think they were one of these stories the parents tell their children in order to behave. Tales about fearsome executioners and noble knights. Tales about eldritch kings and hilarious jesters. Tales about horrible plagues and beautiful gardens. In times when we were awfully naughty tales about carnage and death. my queen I beg thee . This day shall never escape my mind. I was helping mother clean up the house while my father and brother were cutting the trees in the back yard. Smoke started coming from the other side of the village and screams followed right after. My father rushed inside the house holding my brother in his arms. He dragged the carpet in the living room and opened the doors to the cellar. Father ordered us to hide inside and be quiet. Mother gave me the necklace she was wearing. "Sylvia if the time comes break it in half, it will get you out of here" she said. It all happened so fast... Father closed the cellar door and I heard the carpet getting dragged. Seconds later the door started knocking and at once I heard it brake, a stench followed right after. my queen I beg thee wake up . There's a turmoil in my head after that. Scarce sounds and smells, the only solid memory is an image... My parents dead right beneath my feet. Next thing i remember i'm outside with my brother. The whole village was burning and the sun had set. Ashes were falling from the skies, the stench of death was all around us... The smell of people burned alive will never flee my mind. Soldiers on pale horses were running around the main square dragging lifeless bodies. These were people that I knew. People that I would see every day... Aunts , uncles...friends. A knight approached us but he wore a different armor, thorns covering everything and blood all over his armor. My brother stood in front of me to protect me and he kept screaming "BREAK IT, BREAK IT NOW" but I couldn't even blink. "The blood of you parents is on my hands, you should have stayed hidden" said the knight still approaching us."Please break it, I beg you" my brother kept saying but at the time I couldn't comprehend his words. "Foolish child...telle mèrre telle fille" * the knight growled. He grabbed my brother and he started chocking him in front of my eyes. I finally managed to break the necklace. The image of my brother looking at me has been haunting me every time I close my eyes since....It was my fault. my queen he's strangling him . Not this time.

Flashback End

I got up with tears were running down my cheeks. My bodyguards all around me, I started talking before they could say anything. "Flee, all of you...Ensure that all the others leave this place safe. Use the hidden gates in the back" I said ordering them. " But my queen" said my trusted archer. "Silence" I interrupted him. "Do as I say...This is something I must do myself" I continued. They all nodded and they left in a hurry. "Time to fix this mess" I thought to myself.

* Author's note: telle mèrre telle fille is french for like mother like daughter

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 6

-Chapter 6- I entered the subway station... I did my research and apparently the safehouse was quite a bit closer using the subway than just walking. I finally reached the place but the door was nowhere to be found...A blank wall with some latin inscribed to it "Invented ad guy quis nulla" and I ran it through a translate app, it meant "to the guy who invented zero". What could she mean by that...I guess I can't ask her but maybe Lydia can provide me some insight.

I started dialing up the numbers. "Well hello, that was fast" she answered her phone. "Yeah... I ran into a problem and maybe your unlimited brilliance can help me" I replied. "Oh, you're making me blush....Don't be sarcastic just tell me what you need help with" she said and i could imagine her smiling from the tone of her voice. "Alright so, does the sentence "To the guy who invented zero" mean anything to you?" I continued. "Ummmmm I can't say it does" she answered confused. "Nothing at all?" i kept asking. "Well no genius it's literally a random sentence for me" she chuckled. "Alrighty then, well, thanks for nothing" and as i said that a door started appearing and I started laughing. "What happened?" Lydia asked. "This bitch used a pun to keep her entrance shut....To the guy who invented zero, thanks for nothing." i answered basically on the floor laughing about the situation and i was CERTAIN that Lydia was rolling her eyes. "Okay, I will have to let you go now, I have some research I need to do...maybe we'll talk later" I continued. "Alright, ciao" she said and we closed the call. Now then...time to find Touch, Lien HQ and Red Tiger. After a couple of hours of research I came to a conclusion...Finding a shapeshifter would be really time draining, demons sound like a tough foe at this time so vampires it is. I'll sleep for a couple of hours and then time to head to Touch! I set up an alarm for three hours, I put on some music *Wasteland by Neoni starts playing*, I laid down on the couch and i started drifting away. I suddenly woke up in a strange city.

There was nobody around me, it felt desolated, the buildings were almost destroyed and the place was covered with sand...it reminded me of the desert i thought. I looked around and I saw a woman standing behind me. It was Circe, the dream version of her. I approached. "I guess your help is needed again"she smiled. "We need to start meeting under better circumstances" i smirked. "That is quite true Aiden" she answered, "I believe you chose Touch....That was quite the decision, Sylvia will tell you what you need to know and it's time for you to leave i believe" she concluded and the alarm started ringing. I got up, I took a bath and i started getting ready. Black boots,black jeans,dark red shirt,grey jacket,earrings, rings, chain and i was ready to go. Suddenly the phone started ringing and it was Lydia. "Hey, watch up" i said answering the phone. "Sup dude, what is your superhero ass doing" she said snarkily. "Oh shut up" I replied "Just getting ready to go to a club". "Ohhh spicy...I didnt know the job description had partying" she said. "Yeah of course.... You know i hate these places, you dont have to be an ass about it" I said laughing it off. "So tell me, how come you go then?" she asked. "I mean, i am still searching for Circe..plus i need my sword back if I am to have a chance." i answered. "Okay wait for me, im coming with you" she said. "Oh stay where you are love, you aint coming with me, shit could get really bad really fast" i said to her with a watchfull tone. "And that's exactly why i'm coming, you need support from a friend when shit gets down" she pridfully replied. "No offence but if something bad happens the only friend i need is a fucking nuke so sorry not sorry, you're staying where you are" i said. "You know how much i hate you sometimes don't you?" she complained. "Well let me prove you otherwise, let's say i owe you a coffee..how does that sound?" I teased her. "Just that?...No deal, you still suck" she chuckled. "A coffee aaaand i'll have you on comms while i go to the club...i could really use a friend on a sucky place" i said wih a small smile. "It's Saturday night and you think i'll stand by on comms and keep you company?.... You are absolutely right" she replied and i could almost see her smile. "Fantastic just an fyi though, since it's kind of undercover i won't be able to answer you every time...just so you wont get worried"i said. "Alright" she replied. It was time to go. "Let's find Sylvia" i thought to myself while passing by the bouncer and he didn't seem amused. I was walking down the corridor, it was like a small tunnel leading to the entrance. The walls had some kind of fur, people leaning on them, some laughing, some puking, some staring. Purple and pink lamps lit the whole place and they made it feel like a fever dream. "These are going to be a bitch to walk through while drunk" I uttered silently. Following the music i arrived to the main room opening the doors.The room was gigantic. Glass panels were on the roof, cages with dancers inside them and a door on the other side of the room,the boss's room I thought. People were dancing, drinking and having fun... these places were never my kind of thing. I sat on the bar and I ordered a red wine. " A wine on a club....either a meeting or you're just boring" said the barwoman handing me my glass. "Maybe both, maybe neither" i said taking a sip. "So tell me what else do you do except pouring drinks and judging people darling." I continued. "ohhh the barwoman....spicy" Lydia said through the comms. "A man being just a bit of an asshole and not a full fledged one, a rare kind these days but nevertheless don't try hitting on the barwoman, you never know what she'll pour on your drink kid" said the barwoman with a wink. "I dont mix bussiness with pleasure unfortunately" i said. "Are you sure unfortunately is the right word?" the barwoman said interrupting me. "Ouchhh ruthless but i'll let it pass. Tell me though, do you know a woman called Sylvia? I heard she's running this place" i continued. "And who wants to talk to her?" said the barwoman. "Circe" I replied. "You don't really seem like a Circe but you do you, i'll go get her for you" the barwoman said smiling and she started leaving. " So, is hitting on the barwoman part of the undercover mission?" Lydia said. "Well no but if you form a small connection with a person, even someone who doesnt know your name, they are more likely to help you." i answered taking a sip of the wine. "I am so fucking sure you drank a bit of wine after saying that just too feel smart" Lydia said annoyed and I almost chocked from laughing. "Okay shhhhh i think she's coming" i said wiping wine of my face. "Oh you sir are not Circe" said the woman.

"Hello. sorry for using this name but i need to talk to you...somewhere more privately" i said in an apologetic tone. "Haha, no" she groaned. "Im sorry, what?" i asked. "What you just heard. You think you can barge in here and use her name?!" she said. With that she extended her arm, she hit me on my chest and I was now put up against the wall with the drinks. You could hear the shattering of the bottles and the whole place smelled of expensive vodka. I tried to move her hand but she was still keeping me there. She started hitting me again and again. "Why" was all I could mutter through the hits. "Why?!?!?!" she asked angry. "You barge in my club uninvited and you refer to yourself as Circe. You degenerate, you should've known what using this name in here would've caused you! ". She dropped me down and I could hear Lydia talking worried through the comms. "And who is your little friend talking to you." Sylvia continued. She took the Bluetooth out of my ear and she continued hitting me. "You leave her out of this" I screamed and she started laughing while kicking me in the face. "You dare talk to me like that inside my own domain you filth! I am the queen of the vampires and when I talk you bow! Now it's time to find your friend...." she said. I couldn't let this happen. I summoned my armor, I was still wounded wearing it but I had no choice. "Ugh, i never liked reapers... I knew that horrid musk was coming from you, I could smell you before you entered." she groaned. "Ohhh and I just had a bath before coming here... I'm gonna write a strongly worded email to the shampoo company" I said spilling while blood and looking at her with a smile. "We have a witty one today...They tend to taste a bit bitter. So you think you're funny?" she said. "What can I say, a jester fit for a queen" I continued with a stupid grin. And with that she kicked me on the stomach, at this point I could taste my own blood. "You'll show respect when I talk to you!" she yelled and she continued hitting me. "I'll break you tonight and I'll wipe that stupid smile off your face even if I have to sew your mouth shut" she continued with an evil grin. She grabbed me by the neck and she held me up."TURN OFF THE MUSIC" she yelled, silence befell the room and everyone was looking at her "THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO ANYONE WHO DISRESPECTS ME!" she screamed and you could see all the people saying "yes miss" with fangs in their mouths. I walked right into a nest. Circe had told me that but I thought normal humans would be among them.How many people are actually Accursed..... Suddenly one of the bouncers opened the doors, wounded and horror itself swam throughout his eyes. A black whip emerged from behind him, wrapping him and dragging him right before our eyes... His screams suddenly stopped.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 5

-Chapter 5-

By the time i managed to pull myself together the form had been dissolved. It was time to get her back but first I had to get my sword back...I need my full power for that fight. Alas, maybe I had an answer to whether I was gonna join her unholy crusade. My school trip ends in a few days so I should go back to the hotel and pick up my stuff, I could crash at her safehouse until I get my sword back.

*2 hours later* Finally the hotel. As I enter it I saw my bitch of a teacher, she doubles up as a trip coordinator...how fun. "Tell me NOW where have you been the past two days." she screamed at me, "You can't just disappear like that without a trace, I AM CALLING YOUR PARENTS". She was totally right for the first time in her life but I wasn't in a mood to have a "civilized conversation" which basically means getting yelled at. "Oh you know, here, there...It is a big city after all" I said, almost growling and I started heading to my room. "What a fucking disgrace" I heard her say as I started walking away. "Lydia come here and put your boyfriend in line!" she groaned. "Oh shut up you old hag" I replied. Lydia was a close friend of mine and one of the few people I could talk to in this shitshow of a school, This bitch had no right. I went in the room banging the door and I started packing, who gives a fuck if they return without me. I heard the door knocking. "Come in" I answered with a fake smile. "What the FUCK is going on" Lydia blurted while entering the room. "We all have been so worried you could AT LEAST reply to a text that you are.. I don’t know.... alive". "Oh hello to you too. You sound a bit mad, what's going on" I answered with a grin. "You MUST know you are being an asshole. We have been worried and you decide to act like a colossal BITCH" she groaned. "You know what, I am sorry. You are truly right. I have been acting like a bitch and I am sorry." I apologized. "I can't tell you what has been going on but just a heads up, you're going home without me." "Oh hell fucking no" she yelled, "Do you think I am leaving you here, alone, in another country....Bitch I ain't leaving you out of this room if you don't tell me what's up.". "Some weird things have been going on and I am sorry but i can't pull you in this story too" I lamented. "Oh boohoo princess, 2008's FallOutBoy called, they want their emo personality back." she sassed. I couldn't stop myself from laughing and I heard a giggle from her too. "But honestly, you're scaring me, what's going on, you know you can trust me" she said calmly. "I really don't want to put you through this" I said. "Well I do... I want to help my friend how I can" she replied. "Alright, I want you to promise me that you'll keep this a secret you'll take to your grave and that it won't change anything" I muttered. "You're seriously freaking me out... I promise though, just tell me" she answered hastily. "I'm gonna show you" I said and I turned my back on her...slowly summoning my armor and my wings. I heard nothing from her. I turned to face her and she was there frozen...Her mouth was closed and her lips tightly shut. She started moving to the door and it was like she was preparing to scream. I turned to smoke rushing through her, I reappeared holding her shoulders and covering her mouth. "When I take my hand off your mouth we are gonna have a calm talk and you won't scream....Nod yes if you are cool with that" I whispered and she nodded yes. I slowly moved my hand and i sat on the bed. "HOLY FUUCK" she screamed. "Oh fuck off, we had a deal, someone might come check on us now" I said concerned. "SHUT THE FUUUCK UP, you BITCH have an armor" "SHHHHHH" I said interrupting her". "you have armor,powers and ANGEL WINGS AND YOU WANT ME TO STAY CALM" she continued with a whisper, 'I want some explanations". "As much as i want to catch up with you I don't have time dear so please chill out and start warming up to the idea of returning home without me" I answered. "Oh don't use dear on me on this occasion, you're telling me how your wings and armor got fucked up whether you want it or not" she said while pulling out her new knife and flipping it with a smile. "Alright, but after that I am gone" I gasped looking at the knife. *30 minutes later* "So you're telling me that all these shit happened and you didn't think of texting Poughkeepsie" she asked in complete seriousness. "So let me get this straight I've been babbling on for half an our and telling you about witches, dragons, fuckers coming out of graves and you answered with a reference.... I don't know if I should be proud or concerned" I sassed. "How about both" she answered, "Look, I am sorry about your Cersei". "Circe" I corrected her. "Circe, alright" she continued, "Don't you think though this isn't a life made for you.... You mentioned almost dying in at least three separate occasions". "I can't leave her so as I said it's time to go, the faster I find her the better.." I replied. "There's no way I'm letting you go there, this might be the last time we talk and that ain't happening...I am coming with you" she dictated. "Look, there is no way in hell you are coming with me so how about you help me from here....something like my very own Barbara Gordon" I exclaimed seeing her confused, "Of course you don't know who she is....anyways, you'll be my eyes and ears on this place and when you return home, I'll be constantly in contact with you and you can help me by doing some research". "I still want to come with you but I guess that's the only way you're letting me help you so okay dude, have it your way" she replied. "Thank you, I wouldn't want you in harms way” I exclaimed. I dissolved the armor, I picked up my bag and we headed to the exit trying not to be seen by miss old hag.... "I hope this isn't the final goodbye" she exclaimed. "I promise it's not...it is a goodbye for now though and I'll text whenever I get the chance" i said calmly and she nodded. We hugged and I rushed to the nearest subway station waving her goodbye. I put on my headphones, Miss Jackson by Panic! At the Disco starts playing.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 4

-Chapter 4-

Aiden’s POV:

"How did you find me?" I asked, breaking the silence. She sighed. "I felt something a few hours after we had that talk and I kind of knew you were in trouble. I had kept your jacket from when we were in the cathedral and I used it to open a portal and track you here" she answered. "Well, I guess I am lucky then" I chuckled.

"Oh wait, yeah.... How the hell did I get here" I said dumbfounded. "What's the last thing you remember" she asked. "Well, I went back to a hotel after the mindfuck and the dragons". "THE WHAT" she interrupted me. "Pfffft, the fucking dragons" I continued, "As it seems, seeing stuff is a part of having superpowers". "Superpowers?" she asked interrupting me again "You're no Batman. Boy, you are both blessed and cursed with these extraordinary abilities" she continued. "Batman didn’t have superpowers" I said with a proud smile and even though she was walking in front of me I just KNEW she rolled her eyes. "I want to know more about these dragons once we get out of here" she continued. "Ummm we have another problem" I said hastily, "I need my sword back... It got destroyed in the fight". "Oh dear Lilith, you're full of surprises, you should know that" she groaned. "There are skeleton weapons. Once one of yours get destroyed you need to find one of these and bind it. They basically are empty husks that need some of your form's DNA to be able to be used by you as a true weapon". "Perfect" I answered with a smile, "where do I get one?". "About that.... All the known ones are locked up tight by Omnis on their nests" she answered. "Okay, I have a few questions" I interrupted. "Don't cut me off, I was about to tell you", the anger in her voice was obvious. "Omnis are powerful Accursed that have a hold over less powerful ones of their respected race. In this city I know of three nests. Firstly we have Touch, a club owned by Sylvia, a powerful vampire. Next up, we have the headquarters of Lien, the famous Fashion House, owned by Levi, a powerful shapeshifter. Last but not least Red Tiger, brothel obviously owned by a succubus called Stella ironically. " " Did I answer your questions?"she asked". "Yeap" I answered "I guess I know what we're doing after we get the hell out of here". "Oh yeah... Where the fuck are we... You were going to explain how the fuck I got here". "Almost forgot, the dragons took me by surprise" she chuckled. "Alright, so I finally reached the hotel and I just fell asleep... Then boom snow everywhere" I concluded. "Hmmmm, honestly, I have no idea, a mystery I guess" she answered concerned. "Holy shit, you know things are weird when miss know-it-all is at a loss for words" I sassed. "Do you at least know where we are?" I asked. "Oh yeah, we're in an alternate dimension whe-" she tried to talk. "IN A FUCKING WHAT?!?! HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I COME HERE" I basically screamed interrupting her. "Rude, to be honest but I'll let it pass. We're in an alternate dimension as I was saying... It's only inhabited by people who don't want to be found and well... Us at this moment" she continued. "We need to get back.. HOW CAN YOU STAY SO CALM FOR CHRIST'S SAKE" I screamed. "Silence" she groaned stopping me. "I'm trying to get us out all this time and I think I got it, if you just follow me for a bit we'll be gone in no time. And please for the love of Lilith keep quiet". We kept walking in absolute silence and we finally reached a circle made of quartz. "At last" she said breaking the silence "create some of your darkness and shoot it straight in the middle. And in all seriousness try to think of your room in the hotel, we don't want to end up somewhere unexpectedly... The cosmos is a strange place. " she added. I started shooting straight in the middle and the only thing I could think was the room. Suddenly black lines came straight out of the circle and they hit us. Everything went black for a moment and we appeared in the middle of a graveyard...

Whistles were all around us. "I'm sorry, I thought I only thought of the room" I apologized. "Oh hell, don't be sorry, it's not your fault,we fell in a trap" she replied.

"Harbingers all around us". As she said that the whistling stopped and they started raising from the ground right in front of our eyes... We were surrounded. The air was full of tension and it was an unspoken truth that whoever moved first would either attack or defend. You could see their nails scratching each other craving the feel of flesh. Smoke coming out of their mouths with a horrid stench that reached our noses."What do we do?" I whispered to her, my lips barely moving. "The choice is yours to be made" she answered. "Now" she whispered. I let out a breath. I started suiting up and a Harbinger decided to attack. Mid transformation I caught it by its throat. It was struggling and I could feel the armor covering me. I started applying pressure.

Circe's POV: You could hear the thing struggling to breathe. A cracking sound traveled through the air. "It's not killing if it isn't human" Aiden said with a slight grim smile, darkness starting to cover his throat. He was now wearing his armor and just in time, the Harbingers started rushing towards. Their screams covering the air. Aiden pulled me down. His wings suddenly materialized. We were face to face , kneeling down with the wings protecting us from the attacks. I could smell the Harbingers and their foul scent. Sounds all over, you almost couldn't diversify from one another. Screaming, crying, nails hitting flesh, nails hitting armor. All I could see was his face. His eyes had turned black, darkness vines were expanding from his throat and I thought I could see tears. "I can't anymore" he said, "I'm sorry". He grabbed my arms and at once we were flying. I could see Harbingers still on our tail. "They are still behind us" I said. "I know" he replied hastily and the wings started going faster and faster but to no avail. They were rapidly covering ground. "Circe, what's happening?" he asked,"why am I suddenly awfully tired..", "The sword" I sighed. "When your form is missing something you are less and less powerful" I answered. "Please, try to hold on a little bit longer".... He screamed. "I can't. I - I'm sorry" he groaned. We were starting to lose height and I could see black feathers almost abandoning the wings. "Brace yourself" he howled.

Aiden's POV: I can't take it anymore I thought to myself. We hit the ground. I was okay but Circe went blackout on me from the fall. I know the bastards were right behind us. I picked her up and I started walking dragging my wings behind me, I couldn't keep them up anymore. The screams were getting closer. One came out of nowhere and it hit me pushing me on to a wall. I summoned my gun and I managed to shoot its head and banish it just as its "friends" decided to show up. I started running. It was a lost cause... I couldn't outrun them. I couldn't outshoot them, they were too many, they were too fast and I was too tired. I felt nails on my neck and I was pushed back falling down. They took Circe out of my grasp and they started hitting me breaking my armor and hurting my wings. One of them took her and it started flying away.A few seconds passed, the ones hitting me turned to smoke and they flew away too. I dragged myself to the nearest wall in order to get back to my feet, I tried to support myself but i fell down on my knees. "I'll get you back" I said under my breath and I slowly started weeping.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 3

-Chapter 3-

Aiden's POV

"Finally" I thought. "Alright, if I am to going to do this I need you to forget everything you think is true, focus and trust me…deal?" she exclaimed. "I think we are waaay past that and a lot of crazy shit have happened so just start…At this point anything is possible." I answered. She nodded and she begun.

"Some people are born with powers. People like you and me. We are spread all around the globe and we call ourselves Accursed . The selection seems entirely random and nobody knows if any factors affect that. These powers are based on beings long gone from the face of this earth, the selected people can accommodate a number of different powers most common being powers from one being but there have been cases with two or even three different being's powers. I for example have two, psychopomp and witch and you have shown your reaper form" "What other forms do I have?" I asked interrupting her. "I do not know that to be honest. You might not have another form or you might have two more. Nobody knows what truly activates another form but the consensus is that you acquire it when you are in dire need of it." "Wait" I said interrupting her once again, "this isn't true, my form activated once you screamed on my face back in the church" I exclaimed. "I did not do such thing" she replied defensively, "I don’t possess such power". "You know what, I am here looking for answers , if this is how it's going to go maybe this was a mistake" I sighed. "No, it is not… I want you to let me finish and as you said some crazy things have happened, why don’t you do both of us a favor and categorize your accusation as one of them..now, where were we." She answered, I decided to stay for a bit, I don’t know if I can find answers elsewhere, even if they aren’t the entire truth. "The forms are located in a person's soul. The thing though is that things are about to get more complicated so as I previously said focus and don’t hesitate to ask questions. There is something all around us, the scientists call that dark matter and they have no clue what it is but they know it exists and it somehow keeps reality from collapsing. In reality though dark matter is not a what…it's a where. There's a place that exists right besides reality and the Accursed call it Obris Somnium (Dream World). That place houses the souls of every living thing on this universe therefore it is the source that creates the Accursed. The entrance to Obris Somnium is highly forbidden, you need a cataclysmic amount of energy to open a portal there. Few people have returned from this place and whoever comes back starts acting weird and disappears a few hours later never to be seen again." She got up but almost instantly she fell to the ground. "Circe!" I shouted, rushing to help her. "I don’t need your help" she muttered pointing me to stop. "You went there didn’t you…" I sighed. She got up and fell on the armchair "That obvious huh" she sighed. "I want to know what happened" I demanded and she started talking again, her voice sounded more tired. "Something has been wrong since I came back. The creatures that hunted us earlier, in that church, are the inhabitants of that place and when I got there they caught me, everything is blurry from that point until I woke up in this city. I do not know what they did to me in that place but I feel like an unfinished puzzle. They stripped me off my powers and they removed the essence of the witch and the psychopomp from my soul but I still feel a connection with them." "What about the spells" I asked. "Oh" she smiled, "these are things I picked up as a witch but don’t get used to them…every time I use one I feel less and less alive." "Alright" I continued, "What about the asshole that attacked us?". "He is Damien" she said, "we go way back. He is a hunter and it's basically his job to stop anything supernatural and the Accursed are number one on any hunter's list". "Anything supernatural" I asked confused and she started laughing. "Vampires, werewolves, ghosts…monsters are real Aiden and apparently we are one of them ourselves" she answered with the happy tone slowly fading. "I - I am sorry, I need some air" I said getting up. I opened the door, a slight chill hit my face. It was night outside and the streets were full of people. "I hope this isn't goodbye" she said from inside. I shut the door behind me and I started running away. "Thank God I somewhat know where I am, I’m not entirely lost" I thought. My head started hurting while I was running and I started looking around. Something was wrong, it was like reality itself was melting. Ripples were all over me and as I was running I kept seeing new ones getting created right before my eyes. I looked inside some of them, each and everyone was different. On some you could see swamps and on others futuristic cities. Victorian buildings, gigantic trees and demolished temples were visible through others.

Strange yet familiar animals could be seen, some even looking back at you and at this point I realized that the people around me weren't even startled…like they couldn’t see what I was seeing. The ground beneath my feet suddenly started shaking. A horrible screech filled the air, nobody around me even flinched and then I saw it. A white dragon bigger than a house was flying above me. It was shooting black fire everywhere. "What the everloving fuck " I screamed falling down. People started gathering around me. "Cant you see it?" I yelled "There’s a fucking dragon flying above us" I pointed upwards. The people looked up but the dragon was now gone and the ripples had closed. Murmurs where coming from the crowd. "Fuck it" I muttered getting up and I started running to my hotel again. Some people tried to stop me telling me I should see a doctor and others were laughing calling me a lunatic but I didn’t pay any attention, I just kept running. I finally reached the hotel, I went to my room and I fell straight to my bed. I was asleep before I even hit the pillow. Eyes open, breath was short. I was in a forest. It didn't seem "natural" but there was not something profoundly weird about it, it fell in the uncanny valley category. I got on my feet, I realized i was wearing the armor and I started looking around. I was all alone on top of a small hill. Snow was falling ,the air was cold, I could see my breath. Weird trees all around me.

Horrifying howls could be heard in the distance. "I should start moving" I thought to myself as I summoned my sword just in case. I kept walking in the woods, I couldn’t see the moon, all the trees looked the same and there had been no sign of a living thing other than the howl earlier. I found a small cabin, I walked towards it and I could see light slowly flickering from the window. As I approached, the door opened by itself, I walked inside and the door slowly closed behind me. A woman was waiting there. Pale white skin, black long hair, burgundy lips, brown eyes and she was wearing a worn out dress. "Lovely, a visitor" she said with a a colonial american accent and a grim smile, "and who might you be" she continued. "Hello, there, my name is Aiden. I am sorry for intruding,I arrived to these woods a few hours ago and I have been walking since" I exclaimed, I didn’t want to reveal all the information. "Maybe I should go" I said."Oh no, you poor thing. Stay, let yourself rest and you can leave first thing in the morning. Come, sit" she grinned as she moved a chair."Thank you, i appreciate it" i responded and with my sword still in my hand I took a seat."I'm gonna bring you something to eat, I'm gonna be right back" she said and she entered a door that was right behind me. The atmosphere was weird inside the cabin, almost suffocating, I could feel it in my chest and I started to become really anxious.Suddenly I heard the door slowly opening behind me and without even turning back "I think it's time to go" I said. Her hand started moving through my hair, "Oh we can't leave you now, can we" she whispered in my ear. I practically jumped off the chair. I turned to her and she was fully undressed. "Holy shit" I blurted. "Thank you for your warm welcome" I continued sarcastically and I tried to open the door but it wouldn’t open. With two fast steps she went right beside me, she grabbed me by the neck and she pushed me on the wall. Clenching my sword I tried to hit her but she grabbed it before it reached her, the sword turned to dust and she started chuckling. I summoned my gun and I shot her a couple of times in the leg but she didn’t even flinch. She grabbed my hand and with no difficulty whatsoever it felt like she broke it and the gun fell on the floor. "Your tricks do not faze me traveler. Tonight is a feast and I can't remember the last time I saw a male in these forsaken woods." she chuckled. I couldn't breathe, she was holding my neck too tight and her other hand was pressed on my chest. I felt the light fading from my eyes and I was desperate. My last resort were my fists. I punched her stomach. Some kind of black energy went out from my gauntlet pushing her back. I could finally breathe. She was lying down, i walked closer to her and now, she almost seemed like a woman. A part of her stomach was missing and something like dark vines were slowly moving across her body, all her hair had fallen and her skin now looked exactly liked clay. I heard someone call my name from outside but I didn't care. "Of fucking course. I had to come across the one bitch Salem forgot to burn!" I growled."Salem?" she asked and she started laughing."Do you find that funny" I asked while I stood on top of her, punching her fake face. "You came here to find me you fuckface" she blurted out. I stopped punching. "It doesn’t matter now to tell you the truth I guess. I don’t know how I got here, I woke up in a hill and I had been wondering for hours before you tried to do whatever the fuck you wanted to do to me" I stated. Her face went white like she had seen a ghost, the laughing stopped and I could see fear in her marble eyes. The door broke open."Aiden!" Circe called. "I have been looking for you. what happened here?" she asked, me still standing on top of the witch. "PLEASE. I AM SORRY FOR WHAT I DID TO YOU. PLEASE KEEP PUNCHING, PLEASE END MY MISERY NOW" the witch started screaming and shaking uncontrollably. I got up and I got my gun. I held Circe's hand "Let's go, I'll tell you everything when we leave this fucking cabin" I told her and I started walking outside with the witch still screaming."Oh my God, what were you doing with Hephzibah?" she said dragging me back in."Hephzi - what? This bitch right here, whoever she is either tried to choke me or fuck me...take your guess and let's get the fuck out of here" I responded. "She is an Accursed, a Nereid from the colonial times turned witch." she said. "Holy shit, then Salem was a right guess... I just thought it would sound cool" I chuckled. "You idiot, you left a Nereid in this state and you're amused?!?! How did you manage to tear a part of her stomach and corrupt her?" she asked angrily. "Corrupt her? Oh, you mean the dark vines. I kind of have a new power but this is no place to talk, please let's go" I responded."YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE YOU FUCKING IMBECILE. END ME I’M BEGGING YOU!" Hephzibah said as she started crying. Circe grabbed me by my shoulder. You need to finish what you started" she demanded. "No, whatever she did to me I am not killing her unless I have to. I have a heavy conscience as it is, I don't need blood in my hands. She decided to act like a horny or murderous -still haven't decided- bitch!" I bickered. "Show some fucking respect she is a daughter of sea itself, trust me if you do leave her like this, crying, horrified and corrupted what expects you is far worse than your conscience" she stated. "I'm willing to take that chance, she doesn't deserve anything from me, much less respect" I bleated. "Then let me do it" she asked "I just need your help, you know about my powers. I need you to hold my palms". I slowly touched her palms and with a smooth move she took them out of my hands revealing an old looking gun. "I call her Evelyn" Circe said smiling.

She slowly walked towards Hephzibah. She put her gun on her head, now almost dark from all the vines. A tears from Hephzibah eyes, "Thank you" she quietly said and with that Circe pressed the trigger. Hephzibah's lifeless body hit the floor and turned to water, finally the cabin's suffocating atmosphere had cleared. Circe and I started walking, none of us talked for what seemed like hours.
