[CHAPTER THREE]

...BLOOD OF THE WICKED...

THE DEVILS AWAKENING

Cairo's POV

****! I forgot that I need to do something at home and it should be finish be finished by now! Wait what time is it? My god! It's already 3:00 in the morning! But I feel bad leaving him after we had sex and accepted his love... I know! I'll write him a letter.

"Hey Kyle... I'm so sorry for leaving by your side and not seeing me when you wake up... I forgot that I need to do something urgent that the council needs and it's due today. And I'll borrow just a few dollars for my taxi fee. I didn't want to wake you up...

From your loving boyfriend...

-Cairo"

So I cleaned myself before leaving and wore my clothes and left my lingerie for him. And it's his choice to do whatever he wants to do with it. Well I hope he likes it as an offering when he wakes up without me in his arms... But I'll be booking my lift now and leaving the premises of our home.

After waiting just a tad bit for my ride home, it came and asked me my location. Well, we're a few miles away from each other and because of that its going to be good, long ride... "So, you sneaking out of your house, kid?" The driver tried to start a conversation after minutes of awkward silence. "No, I slept at my friend's house and forgot that I need to do something that is due later morning. Welp, I guess I should have thought of that before..." I only answered and looked at the lights of the never sleeping city. And rain started to patter on the window of the cab. Then we stopped at the red light which took forever. And while waiting for it to go green, I felt asleep. After smelling something so fragrant in the car...

Why do I feel like I'm being carried into a grass field? Please don't tell me... "WHAT ARE YOU-*gasps loudly* LET ME GO!!! *screams*" Was all I could say and do before he covered my mouth... "Stop screaming or else I would do something worse! You little brat! Sneaking out of your parents house, eh?" He said and snickered. Then he laid me down on the ground and started to lick my neck. This feels so disgusting! "Sir! Please stop!! I just want to go home... Please!" I pleaded at him and started to flail my arms and legs at him. But I felt something sharp slightly piercing my side... "Do anything funny and I'll gut you open!" He screamed at me and went back at molesting me. And all I could was just plea and sob there... Feeling weak and disgusted by what's happening to me. "Please... Ple-please... Sir... Just l-let me go..." I pleaded again, but he just laughed at me.

"Do you want to hurt him?" Asked the voice in my head... But where is this voice coming from? "I want to... But I can't... I-I'm too weak for this..." All I could say in my head. "Then sleep... For now..." I heard the voice whisper to me again and I started to feel sleepy just after what he said, and there I was— unconscious and unaware what's going on with my body. But as weird as it can be. I'm in a white room that has a tunnel just in front of me; leading to an eternal dark place.

"Don't be afraid, Cairo... I'm a friend and I'm here to help you..." Said the voice again. But now it's more stronger and not just a whisper of voice that I suddenly hear. "Who are you? Show yourself!" I bravely asked the voice. Then I tried to go through the tunnel but it was blocked with an invisible barrier. "I am you, Cairo. But do you really want to see me?" He said as I see a faint glow of fiery red in the distance. What is that fire or glow? Is that him? "Y-yes! But please! Hurry up! I need to go back, I need to protect my body!" I really need to go back...

"Then here I am, in front of you; Nice to meet you... Cairo." Why does he look exactly like me?! And why does he have those flaming like glow surrounding his eyes? "Are you just an illusion to forget what's happening to me?!" I accusingly asked him. Why am I even here?

"Cairo, Cairo, Cairo... Are you really that clueless about me?! I am you and you are me?! We're both of the cursed kind! I've been with you since the day that you were born! I even took form as your imaginary friend when you were a child! *in a child's voice* Don't you recognize me?" He said to me and morphed into a child... H-how? How is that him? I'm really confused right now! "But how could you talk to me? Am I also speaking outside of this place? Where my real body is?" I asked him directly. And he smiled again and said, "No, you only talk here when you're in my- or "our" safe place. Or basically your wonderland that you can venture on... But this place doesn't exist in the real world, hunny. But beware, this place has places you won't even believe exists in your mind..." He answered my question and whispered the last part.

But how did he or why is he living inside of me? So I asked him. "How are you inside of me? Or are you just my alter ego?" I asked him and he laughed at me. "You may call me as your alter ego, I'm Azezoth. But I'm just another soul living freely inside of your body. But! We're just one entire person but with different personalities..." And that explains why- No... No! I need to go back now! "Alter ego! Or whatever your name is. I need to go back now! Before anything else happens to me!" I plead to him. "Touch my hand, and let me give you a gift... And remember! Use this wisely, I could only give you a part of my power and if you waste it all... Our written destiny will warp and change." He said and face his palm at the center of the barrier and so did I. But why do I feel nothing but a slight sting? Even if his hands are like on fire. "Now, concentrate and clear your mind. And spread the heat that you will feel to your whole body." He said I did feel the heat. And I did what he said. But when I was finished, he flicked his fingers at my forehead and I was thrown backwards and I was already back in my real world.

"What the actual **** is this!" I heard the man scream as I wake up with my eyes wide open. But I feel numb and cold... But why do I feel such anger rising up and like it was all earned up from a long time. And when I tried to stand up, I floated mid air; Like a superhero. "Hello sir! Why do you look so scared?" I asked him sweetly which made me sound mad. And then. He pulled out his knife and started to run towards me with the knife pointing forwards. "Then let's play a game..." I whispered.

But as he was running, I focused on his hands and snapped my fingers. And his hands suddenly folded and I heard his bones there crack and break. "I tried to plea. I even offered you money and asked how much you wanted just to let me go! But you didn't stop!" I said to him, filled with anger and hatred. And I made him float with my command and threw him hard to the biggest tree behind him. And I flew to him quickly and made him float again and I pierced his shoulder with the protruding sharp branch above him. And left him there to fall and watched as his flesh rip and his bones crack. But that wouldn't happen. So I decided to be kind and help him break his shoulder. So I took a branch and focused all of the energy to his shoulders and snapped it. And his shoulder blades broke and I heard him scream in pain and agony.

Fuuuuckk... That was music to my ears! Then I made him levitate again. And smacked him back and forth in between trees and at whatever he lands on. But after just a few minutes of doing that, he became limp; like a ragdoll. And lastly... I smashed him hard on the ground— head first. And I saw his head smash to the ground and explode into pieces. His flesh breaking and his skull shattering into pieces. His brain scattered across the ground, with blood splattered all everywhere...

Holy ****! That felt so fucking good! I almost came again when I just had sex with Kyle! I didn't know that it felt this good... Having such powers and control over others... That felt so orgasmic! "And now? What are gonna do with his body?" Asked the voice again. "Heh! I'll just leave him there hidden and decompose with time." I said to him. And why do I feel like he's not agreeing with what I am thinking?! "Our minds are connected, Cairo... But I could only read yours and you'll be able to read mine when the time has come..." He said and that wasn't fair! How come he could read what I think and I cannot see what he's thinking! Hmpf!!

"Easy now boy... Let me make the next move..." He said and I felt like something was being ripped out of me. But it didn't hurt that much, it only stinged. And I saw him come out of me... But he was just like a illusion and he seemed quite transparent. And we were connected with a string of fiery blood-red glow... And now... I could see him.

"B-bu-but how?" The words that I could only say when it struck me. And he smirked at me and said, "It's simple yet complicated... But I'll explain it later... And now I'll just clean up this mess that we made." He said and made the body float and impaled the body on a pole for maybe to everyone to see and witness it tomorrow. And then he waved his hands towards me and did his magic... He lifted every single drop of blood on my clothing and showered all of it down on the corpse of the late taxi driver...

Poor him, he could've lived a lot longer if he didn't played with fire. Speaking of fire, can I cast a curse on him? "Hey! Can you do curses?!" I shouted at him. "Yes I can do those, and what about it?" He answered while doing his business. And all of my obsession with horror and witchcraft is now being brought to life... "Can you make his body suddenly burn when many people see it and when there are people that's taking videos and photos?" I hope that didn't sound crazy, but I also hope that he could make it happen. "I can! But we need to mix and join forces! I need all of your negatiuve energies and anger all focused upon the ritual so that it will be successful!" He shouted at me when he began to be real busy with cleaning all of the mess I've made...

I want to do something crazy with him... So I came to the corpse and floated and faced his crotch and opened his pants and took his filthy **** out. "Hey Cairo— WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCKITY ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT MAN'S *****?!" He shouted at me when he saw me doing my own business. And I laughed at him when I saw his reaction when I mutilated the corpse's **** and went to his car wrote something on his front window. "This man is a disgusting rapist and he will go straight to hell!" I wrote and left it there...

At least he had a average one. I said to myself in my head. "Oh my god! How could you say that after doing all of those to him?!" He shouted in shock when I said that. My god, calm down Azezoth! It's just a thought. It's still unfair how he can view my thoughts and I can't view or even hear his! Pfft!

Well, moving on, how the hell could we perform or cast that spell or whatever he wants to call it and make it successful? "You know I can hear you right? Here's how this will work, I need to be in control and I might need to plant a memory in your mind to bind a small part of me in your conscience" He said. What does he mean plant a memory insi— *gasps loudly*

Why do I feel like I'm really in that memory and why does it feel like it's a part of me now? I thought as I saw imageries after he flicked his fingers on my forehead and floated. "Was this you?" I asked him. Almost sounding like I whispered. He didn't answer to me and just stood there looking all gloomy and like he did not liked to be asked about his past. Then he suddenly held my hand and brought himself back from his latter state. "Now, will you let me in control now?" He sternly asked me and I nodded, not even thinking about the consequences that may come. And I felt him succumb inside of me again and nothing changed— Why can't I move my body but only view what's happening?! Is this what he meant earlier? About him being in control over my whole body?

3rd PERSON's POV

I'm not really used to sharing private informations on lowly humans, but it is needed right now. For he has made something... Let's just say something dirty... But, it will be me who's in advantage if it comes to power and strength. And moving on; I need to show him the powers that a god like me possesses. Azezoth said and cairo only viewed what was happening as his demon starts to gather power from his dark emotions and from the essence of wrath that lingered in the grassfield. And as power grew stronger in him, the more it pollutes the domain where Cairo's innocent soul reasides. And he started his ritual...

"I CURSE THIS BLOOD WHO BELONGS TO A MAN THAT HAS BEEN FILLED WITH SIN! I BIND YOU ONCE! I BOND YOU TWICE! I BOND YOUR SINS TO YOUR BLOOD AND IT SHALL SHOW THESE MORTALS WHAT WRATH WOULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHO TRIES DO SUCH SINS!!! MAY THIS BLOOD SET ABLAZE AS AUDIENCE CROWDS SO THEY WITNESS WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SEE HELL!!"

He incanted as his flames of hell mixed with the blood of the sinner and wraped it around the corpse as he makes it levitate. And after evrything was done, he forced it inside of the corpse again impaled it to a spear and made a pentgram beneath in with the blood that's left and made it as a protective barrier so nobody can take a body. "May this be a proof to anyone holy that their god will not protect them... From my WRATH!!!" He shouted and with his body filled with the power of his wrath his: He accidentally transformed to his true demonic form. Thankfully Cairo couldn't see him because it was sure that he will be frightened to the core and will be scarred forever. Eons even.

And before he could do anything much more worse, Cairo happened to force himself to be in control and AZEZOTH's skin deteriorated from center center front to behind and he didn't notice it as there was a slight moment of blackout before he woke up agian: In control of his own body. And before AZEZOTH fully succumb to his domain, he whispered something to him. "Go home now..." He last heard from him and he had no doubt about following what he said. So he went home.

Cairo's POV

AFTER ALMOST AN HOUR OF WALKING...

****... I'm almost near home and I'm almost about to pass out... Is that my brother? "Austin!" I almost shouted but my throat is just so dry. He heard me! So I ran towards him and I just ended up falling down and passing out, out of exhaustion. And I could only feel his arms catching me before I face the ground and I heard him shaking me and shouting my name before I really went black out...

30 minutes later...

Ouch! My head hurts! Wait is that the news? My eyesight is a little bit blurry and I can't hear it clearly. Am I in my brother's room? Wow... I never thought he was such a mix of "Gamer E-boy" and almost goth! Wait... Am I in his bed? DID HE TUCK ME IN?! Oh my god!

Well, to be honest. I miss those days where he would tuck me to bed at night and read stories and even let me sleep here when I have night terrors... But his bed and his room smells different from what I remember. I just wish we could be close again like we used to do... I just want that back. Even if it may look and sound weird... I just want those back. But not to the extent where it's almost ******-- "****! DON"T THINK ABOUT THAT!" I whispered to myself and I moved my hand under HIS pillow; Accidentally. And felt a rough like fabric and, so, I took it out andwas surprised with what I saw.

His underwear, or rather, his Jock Strap!!! ****! It's all streched out in the front like is **** streched it for space! It's already obvious tho-- "Hey you okay?" I heard my brother, Caleb, ask me as he sat down on the bed that I'm lying down. "Yeah my head just pounds like crazy. Oh! Thankyou! I am insatiably hungry right now." I dramtically said and took the bowl of mushroom soop that he brought. "What even hapened to you? We were so scared and just nervous when Kyle asked if you're here." Heasked and I instantly remebered what happened to me... "Please don't tell mom and dad.. Please don't tell them..." I sobbed and he instantly asked me why and he seemed to be a little confused. "What do you mean "Don't tell them"?! We were literaly-" "I almost got raped by an old man!!!" I said to him. And he was shocked. Maybe even beyond shocked.

"Wait what?! Are you serious? That is not a good joke mister!" Shit. "I'm serious I-I *sobs* How could I even joke about that- Can you turn the TV's volume up?" I said and he did turn it up. "A man who is claimed to be a rapist, found dead and-a-and... Oh my god... That is disturbing, viewers, The clip that we're about to show is quite disturbing... So brace yourselves. *Clip proceeds to show* So as you can see, this man is impaled to a pole from bottom to head... and when people suddennly clamored, it went ablaze-"

Oh my god... I didn't know it would be that serious... "Is that the man the man that rapped you?! Is that him?!" He asked me and I was out for a couple of seconds before nswering him. "Yes... I think I-I-I-" He cut me off, "You what?!" He asked me. "I think I killed HIM..." I sternly told him and his eyes were wide open with shock when I saw them.
