Chapter 25- Please..A Chapter by The Fallen Destiny would like to stay with Dawn..But is it possible? Destiny.. Destiny.....
Destiny, we shall have our first soul come the crescent red moon....
My inner demon's voice echoed around in my head, the idea of possessing scared me. It terrified me. I felt my demon senses return to me, and I quickly pulled away from Dawn. Her blue eyes were puffy and her cheeks were stained with tears. She smiled weakly, thought I could sense the pain she was hiding from me.
"Where did you go?" She asked, her hand grabbing mine. I looked up at Malice, who seemed to have a logical excuse made up in the back of his head.
"She was helping Silas. He is gravely ill." Malice said calmly. Dawn looked past Malice and Ash, her eyes trying to find Silas.
"Is he okay? Can I see him?" She asked. Ash shook his head, I hated lying to my friend. But what would she say if I told her the truth. The scene played out in the back of my head. As soon as I tell her she looks at me, terror in her eyes. She runs off...that is when my Demon instincts kick in and I run after her, killing her in the process. I shook the image out of my head. That wasn't going to happen.
"You're staying here for good right?" She looked at me, that look in her eyes she knows I cannot ignore. I looked up at Ash, he shook his head.
"I can't." I said, following Ash's choice, but I also had another idea on my mind. "But, I will stay with you as long as I can."
"Destiny!" She whined. "You can't disappear on me again!" She pulled her hood over her blonde hair, silently sobbing. I looked back at Ash, my arms crossed over my chest.
"I blame you." I whispered, making sure only he could hear me over Dawn's crying.
"You can't stay with her, " He replied, running a hand through his hair. I wished I never had become a demon, never had a second life I never knew about. There were a lot of things I wished never happened, but I can't change them. I am not worthy of a wish, nor am I worthy of having close friends but yet I do. I looked back at Dawn, memories flooding my head. I placed a hand over my heart, knowing someone was looking out for me and made sure I had my memories back. I was more than happy to have my memories return to me because without them I would have never remembered the day I met Dawn;
I was three years old, my mother and I were out shopping. Instead of taking me along with her she placed me in a daycare that was just recently built in the store. I hated it. Other kids screamed, and none shared their toys with me. I found a pink chair in the corner of the room and sat there, my arms crossed. I looked down at the floral pattern on my blue dress.
“My momma says if you make a face like that, it will stay like that forever,” I looked up, a blonde headed girl stared at me. A smile plastered on her face, and her blonde hair was tied up in a pony tail with a pink bow. “I'm bein' serious.” She crossed her arms and mimicked my facial expression. A smile played on my lips as I watched the girl try to cheer me up. “I'm Dawn.” She held out her hand.
“I'm Destiny.” I hesitantly took her hand and shook it, I was never good with new people. I am extremely shy, well at least that’s what my mom says to her friends. Dawn turned around and walked away. I sighed and looked back down at my dress, the scraping of the bottom of a chair rang in my head. I immediately looked up, to find Dawn dragging a yellow chair over to me.
“You didn't think I was leavin' you, Did ya?” She asked. Her voice was slightly southern, but I could tell she was trying to eliminate it.
“Well...” Dawn shoved a chocolate chip cookie in my mouth.
“I can tell already you think of negative things a lot. My mommy says it will affect you in the future, so don't talk like that.” She adjusted her chair so it pressed up against mine. “I say, we are going to be best friends forever!” She gave me a lopsided smile and pulled out a whole box of cookies.
“But you hardly know me.” I whispered.
“I don't need to..I just need to know your name, and since I do. I already know we will be best friends.” She looked at me with her blue eyes, and right then I knew she was right.
That was years ago, and since then Dawn had defiantly eliminated her southern accent. "And why not! You can't have her all to yourself!" Dawn looked up at Ash with a confounded look across her face.
"I didn't say I did want her all to myself.." Ash replied gently.
"Well then. She is staying with me, as long as she can!" Dawn barked. She grabbed my hand, and whipped her tears with her other hand.
"Destiny, We really need to talk." I quickly looked at Malice, who was silent through most of the argument. Dawn looked at me and sighed. She gave me one of our 'secret' faces that meant go..but you better be back. I nodded and got up from the grass. Malice began walking towards a gazebo, while Ash remained with Dawn. I chuckled at the interrogation he was going to get from her. Malice took a seat on the wooden bench that sat in the centre of the small gazebo. He sighed. "I know you think you feel normal." He started off. "But because you actually had the time to gain a human attachment, means you can be completely unpredictable without it."
"What are you getting at?" I wrapped my arm around the wooden pole that was at the entrance to the gazebo. Malice pinched the bridge of his nose, I could tell he was at a lose for words.
"Because the Moon is going to bring the demon out of you, and you will not have control! Therefore if you stay here with Dawn something bad might happen! Now either you find your second attachment and hopefully you can hold on to humanity while with Dawn, or you can't stay here without someone with you." He declared.
"This is my decision. Not yours, now I appreciate your concern but I am staying and there is nothing you can do about it." I snarled.
Good...Do not allow them to boss you around.
I won't. I replied to my inner demon. This was the first time I had ever decided to speak to it, to actually respond..
"Destiny, this isn't about you! It is about your bes-" I cut him off.
"Sister...She's been by my side since day one, and she was there for me when my mom died. She is much more then a best friend to me." I correct him.
"All the more reason to protect her! Do you not know what a demon is? We steal souls, we are evil. Don't you think once you have control over your true self because you never will. None of us will." Malice growled. He was done, I could tell I had snapped the final wire. "Destiny, I lost control one. Thinking I was able to control the demon inside of me only a few weeks after awakening it. I killed someone!" He told me, his voice wavered between a whisper and a shout.
"So you think I can't control myself?" I asked.
"It takes years to be able to co-exist with humans again. Your demon is alive, and it will fight to take to the surface. Your human attachment can help a lot in that situation, it can show you what a human being is. It can bury the inner demon. But because Silas left, he cannot help you." Malice looked down at the ground, frustration showed throughout his movements.
"I need to try..." I whispered. "I need Dawn..."
"One night..That's it..." He replied, his voice was low and angry.
"Really?!" I looked at him in dis-belief.
"Yeah, but Ash will be here..somewhere. In a disguise." Malice got up from the bench and looked deep into my eyes. "Your inner demon is not you, it can be controlled if you and only you have the strength to defeat it. Remember that..Give your demon a name, and remember she will never be you." And with those last words Malice disappeared before my eyes. I looked around, wondering where he could have gone. Your inner demon is not you.. I sighed; What did he mean? She is me..I am her!
If you are going to give me a name..I think I like the name Desiree. My inner demon snickered, thinking it was just a joke. Desiree...I grinned.
You just got yourself a name. I replied to her. Suddenly she felt distant, and a completely different person. Though she never showed up until I became a full demon, I wonder if she existed inside me for awhile. After all everyone has a inner demon, I was sure of that.
