Re: Demon's Dance: Chapter 7
Okay, I'm SOOOOO sorry if this may seem rushed. If the new turn is too early, I can most likely rewrite this chapter (of course it could be time consuming). But I thought Blaze's turn wouldn't last long, so I've decided to cut it short. Once again, I apologize. I've tried the best I could. The next chapter will definitely be of Fauna's point of view after this. Please don't mind if this chapter is overdramatic. I... don't write drama very well
Demon's Dance: Chapter 8
Blaze's point of view
"Want to explain what that was about?" Fauna asked me.
Fauna gave me a very weird look, like she knew something was up. Does she think I'm a demon or an asshole, or both?
"I was just telling her to stop bothering me. She was a very rude woman." I stated.
"Don't blame her. She had a hard time. We all did. You know what it's like, too." Fauna said.
What does she mean? It's the fault of the humans that made them like this. If only they had surrendered years ago, none of this would've happened. I can't blow my cover this time.
"You're right, Fauna." I said.
Fauna smiled and sat right next to me. Surely, this is going to be a long trip. We watched out the window for hours, playing games with Pepper, and just sitting down and relax. Suddenly after that, we saw two demons near the train. They spotted right at me and grinned. Fauna looked at me and spotted the demons outside. She panicked and told everybody and everyone stared at the demons in fear. The demons were tampering with the train tracks, using hammers and axes to destroy the ones we were about to cross. Everybody was in fear, they turned on their phones and called the police. The demons smiled as everyone was screaming in terror. Of course, I could've done something about it, but my cover is fundamental.
"Calm down, everyone! We will call the Demon's Dance Headquarters and they will exterminate those hellish beasts." The conductor said.
"No need to worry, sir. My name is Fauna Ferland, killer of the Demon Queen. This man is named Blaze. We are here to kill the beasts!" Fauna shouted.
"Fauna Ferland?! At my train?! Oh, thank god. We're gonna be safe!" The conductor said, "My name is Kain, I'm the conductor, I was a former demon hunter. I'm rusty, but I may have some weapons to help you. I'll give you these old-school swords. They're old, but might be effective." Kain said, quickly going into the back of the train and getting some swords in the storage.
"I was saving these for a rainy day, and it looks like it could be of use now." Kain explained.
Fauna looked nervous, as if she never wielded a sword before. I could remember when she said swords aren't commonly used nowadays. Heh, these humans throw away everything. It's a good thing my skill is of importance.
"I wish I had a pistol ma'am, but these swords are all I've got." Kain said.
"It's fine. I'll be fine with them. See? I'm fine" Fauna said in slight panic.
Kain gave us the blades. Fauna didn't even have a proper stance to fight in them right. I knew I had to help her, but helping a human is probably taboo from where I live. Not like I cared for the religion or customs, so I'll just do what I need to do.
"Fauna, stay focused. Keep your knees apart and keep going forward." I said to her.
"Thank you, Blaze..." Fauna said, looking more confident.
We busted out of the train as we saw the two demons continuously destroying the tracks. They immediately noticed Fauna and I, and quickly bowed down to me, knowing my identity. This isn't good, Fauna will know what's up. I guess I'll have to pretend that I'm punishing them, and be subtle about it.
"You demons are a disgrace. Die now. Perish now." I said
"W-why? What did we do wrong?" One of the demons said.
"You committed crimes, horrible crimes against us." I scolded them.
The demons looked away from me in shame, "You know what we have to do. We can't live anymore." They whispered. The demons turned around and looked at me, they nodded and closed their eyes and opened their arms at us.
"Kill... us...." They both said.
"What? You're giving up just like that? Blaze... You... convinced them like that. How did you do that?" Fauna asked.
"They simply knew their wrongdoing." I stated.
"Don't give me that bullshit. How did you do that? Tell me, Blaze!" Fauna said with a feared look.
"I don't know." I whispered.
"You're... special, aren't you?" Fauna looked down, and looked at me, "Demons kill and destroy, they don't take orders, they only kill. For years and years nobody could convince them. For years and years, they would only eat and kill for fun. Why didn't they look that way at you? They looked like they worshiped you."
Fauna backed away slightly at me, looking frightened more than ever.
"Just kill them, Blaze. Just do it." Fauna demanded me to do.
I don't get it. Does she know I'm a demon? Or does she think I'm just special of some sort. She looks so confused.
"Demon Prince! Kill us already!" One of the demons ordered.
"You're.... WHAT?" Fauna looked at me at shock.
Dammit! They blew my cover. I'm such an idiot. Why didn't I think of this sooner? This is something I can't get out of. This is a terrible thing to sign up for. But... I could just kill Fauna and it would be over with. Yes, that's all I need to do! I grabbed Fauna's arm and put the sword around her throat. Fauna struggling getting her arm out, but my inhuman strength from my demon abilities made it nearly impossible.
"If all of you call the police, I will slit this woman's throat." I said, looking at the demons, "Get up. I used to be undercover. You're safe now." I said to the other demons there.
"Damn! Ferland's daughter is in danger." Kain yelled, " Everyone! Escape the train! Do anything you can!"
"I'll order them to destroy the train and eat you all if you move." I threatened them.
The demons thanked me and got up. Both of them lifted the train, with their inhuman strength, and waited for me to order them to turn it over.
"I should've known! All this time, I thought I could be a hero, but I was just a target. I'm so naive... And everybody is going to die because of me." Fauna whispered to herself.
"Stop talking or I'll kill you." I said to her, looking annoyed, "...Flip the train."
The two demons flipped the train, and as the train smashed, it exploded. It didn't take me that long to realize it was going to hit me and Fauna, too. It knocked everybody out... including myself.
