CHAPTER 26: DAY OF MOURNING
Last Updated:
2021-09-11 04:13:19The school festival couldn’t proceed as follows because of what happened. All students are advised that regular classes will be held. Chris’ class is quiet when he entered contrary to the usual noisy morning that welcomes him. Most are quietly sitting in their seats when most of the people inside love roaming around the room.
Chris looked at Paul’s table and flowers are on his desk. They are almost graduating, few months and Paul could get out of this place, away from people disrespecting him. Chris sighed and went to his seat.
He instinctively look to his side and realized that Kurt is still not around. He checked the time just in case he just went early but Kurt is usually here by this time. Does Kurt have morning practice?
“Have you seen Kurt?” He asked his other seatmate.
“Nope, he hasn’t come here yet.” He answered.
Chris feels odd, Kurt doesn’t skip classes unless there is something import

Chris woke up early to clean the house. He first targeted the living room which is already garnering dust from being unused. He looked around and realized that he’s always been in his room these days. Whenever he would go out he would always head straight out of the house and whenever he comes back he would go straight to his room. It became his routine lately. He would always see his father watching the sports channel in the living room whenever he has the time. Chris is not into sports but he enjoys watching with his father, his mother would always bring them something to eat and would go to their office to have a peace and quiet read. There aren’t a lot of memories of them being together but he could remember each memory whenever he looks around. Maybe that’s why he chose to stay at his room all the time. He sighed and wiped his sweat. He just finished vacuuming the place. He remembered that cameras are also attached in other places besides his room. He to

Linus yawned beside Joaqin, the demon found all of Joaqin’s recent cases as boring and too simple. “Isn’t there a more exciting case to work on? I’m bored to death here.” He complained while Joaqin is still busy making reports. The human ignored Linus’ complains and focused on doing his job. “Hey, should we go see that kid?” Linus said. The demon is talking about Chris. Joaqin still casually ignored the demon since there are a lot of people around but it made him ponder on why Linus suddenly wanted to see Chris when he’s the one who’s stopping him from pursuing the case. “You’re too noisy.” Joaqin spoke in a low tone. The demon rolled his eyes and disappeared without notice. Joaqin grinned, he successfully made the demon go. Now he could work in peace. -- Chris messaged Kurt after realizing that they haven’t talked since Friday. He’s used to Kurt being around him everyday that he already finds it weird when he’s not around or when he’s not mes

Chris sighed as he checks his messages. Kurt didn’t reply at all and it’s bugging him. He messaged him again even though they will see each other in school. “Hey, is there something wrong?” he typed but immediately thought that it was too weird. “Kurt, how are you? Is everything alright?” He’s about to delete the message again but a hand appeared and hit the send button. Chris froze while the demon laughed manically beside him. “I’m just helping you with your love life. You can’t find a demon like me anywhere else.” Chris just sighed. He doesn’t have the energy to argue with the demon. He waited for a few minutes but Kurt isn’t reply, or reading his messages. He hurriedly went out of the house after realizing that he will miss the bus if he wouldn’t hurry. He ran towards the bus stop and luckily arrived on time. He catches his breath as he sit on the second to the last seat. He hasn’t run like that in a while. Chris checked his phone

Kurt’s mood is still down after he revealed what happened to his parents but he’s getting better bit by bit. At least, he’s is trying to. Chris has been more talkative since then, he’s trying hard to lift Kurt’s mood and Kurt also frequents in Chris’ house again. Chris’ random jokes and all other attempts are mostly effective or maybe Kurt is smiling just for the sake of Chris not being worried for him.He realized how hard it is to adjust to people with problems. Kurt also did it for him when his parents just died and it must’ve been really hard for him.“I have practice later so I can’t come with you later…” Kurt said. He is feeling guilty since he knows that Chris is trying to comfort him.“Of course. No problem at all.” Chris is actually relieved that he has other things to put his attention to.Kurt had to attend to a team meeting so Chris is left alone for lunch. He

“That human has a strong mind, so I had to dive as deep as I can for me to be able to rewire his memories.” Chris looked at Troy who’s still unconscious. He’s getting anxious that Troy would suddenly wake up.“If you have that ability then why didn’t you do it in the past?” The human started complaining. It would be lot easier to know who the killer is because of Damien’s ability.The demon rolled his eyes, “first of all, it’s your fault for not asking. Second, it’s not as easy as you think.” Damien is telling the truth. The ability to rewire memories can only be done by powerful demons and a residual ability of exiled angels like him. For Damien to succeed, he needs copious amount of concentration.“I want to see it too, the memories you saw. Is that possible?” The demon sighed. Chris is giving him a hard time today.Chris turned to the demon, “it’s possible?&

Damien materialized elsewhere after cutting Chris’ little trip in Troy’s memories. He didn’t even expect Chris to last that long. Humans aren’t supposed to do it for long because it will drain their energy but Chris lasted with sheer willpower. It didn’t only drained Chris but also him. Angels could easily do it but they are advised to only use it during emergency situations. It is a labor for an exiled like him.He could’ve fed from Chris but he might kill his host if he did, he would, but not until their contract is fulfilled. He walked around to find someone to feed on, but he saw Xavier instead.The angel looked at him with the usual disgusted look.“I’m not in the mood to deal with you today so out of my way.” Damien spoke first. He’s not in the perfect condition to piss off an angel. Xavier didn’t budge and continued blocking the demon’s path.“Why? Scared that I will kill

Chris woke up with a heavy head. It’s been a week but his body still hasn’t recovered from what happened. He kept thinking of the memories he saw from Troy’s mind. He wrote it the other day while pretending to study. He continued repeating it on his mind too. Chris is convinced that there must be something in those memories that could lead him to the truth, if only he’s strong enough to last longer.“You’re still thinking about that?” Damien appeared beside him. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed and there are a lot of spaces but the demon chose to squeeze him in. Chris sighed but stayed still, he already knew what Damien wanted to do. The demon started feeding on him, just like what he expected.He simply closed his eyes. It’s been physically draining him more than in the past.“It’s getting tiring…” Chris thought. He knows that the demon could also hear his thoughts.

“Are you going to school today?” That’s the context of the messages he got when he checked his phone. The messages are from Kurt and Leila. Chris checked the time before he replied. He woke up earlier than his alarm again.He replied the same thing to them. He’s still going to school, he has to. Chris thinks that it’s better to be surrounded by people, instead of moping around the house the whole day. He needed to stay sane until he was able to serve his revenge. Hell he cares what happens after.Leila is the first one to reply saying that Eugene would pick him up. He sighed and simply replied thank you. Kurt’s reply came right after he replied to Leila. Chris scratched his head after reading Kurt’s long message. Kurt is reminding him to eat and drink his meds before he goes to school and even linked a recipe for a healthy breakfast.He did his morning routine while actually considering the recipe Kurt had sent.

Kurt impatiently waited for the bus to arrive at its designated stop. He would run towards Chris’ house if he needs to, but he knows that commuting will be lot faster. He dashed his way out of the bus and towards Chris’s house. He even bumped to some people because of his rush.He kept on calling Chris on his way but his phone is already turned off.“What is wrong with you?!” he exclaimed as he catches his breath. He’s still trying to walk as fast as he can. Kurt eventually arrived at Chris’ house, he pressed the doorbell numerous times but no one responded. Kurt’s heart is beating fast, both from running like crazy and from worry. He sighed, he has no other choice then. He punched the passcode to open the gates. It was disclosed to him by Chris ages ago.He run towards the front door and he found it open. He pushed the door and entered inside.“Chris.” He called but no one responded, “Chris wher

Kurt couldn't concentrate on class. Chris didn’t show up on class again and it’s worrying him to death. He already flooded him with messages but Chris didn’t reply to any of his chats. He impatiently tapped his foot as he discreetly checked his phone for any reply. He didn’t know why but he’s getting more and more anxious as time slowly passed by.“What’s happening to you Chris?” he mumbles. They just talked yesterday, and Chris even said that he’ll explain why he has to go already today.Kurt is already losing his mind. Something feels off and he just knows it.He checked his phone again after the teacher turned his head to write something in the board. His eyes widened, Chris finally replied!“Happy Birthday Kurt. Thank you for everything.” He read the message. Kurt felt a pang in his chest.“No…” he mumbled and stood. Everyone's eyes went to him when he
Succumbing into Darkness CHAPTER 38: NO TURNING BACK
Chris woke up with a heavy head. He couldn’t even remember how he fell asleep. He feels wasted even though he didn’t drink. The first thing he did as soon as he got up is to check his phone. He was expecting for any update but he didn’t get any. He heaved a sigh, it’s just like the first weeks when he was waiting for any updates on his parents’ case to come up.He’s getting so tired of this set up.People would give him hope then makes him wait and then something will be up and they will be back to square one again. The cycle continues. He waited enough.“I’m tired.” He mumbled. He’s tired in every aspect possible. He went downstairs to eat. He doesn’t have the energy to, nor that he sees any reason to but he’s still human. He has to eat so he could survive for the mean time.“I thought you die on your sleep.” Chris’ face immediately soured. Seeing Damien early in th

Chris still wanted to bury himself because of embarrassment, day already passed and he’s still blushing from the mere thought of him crying in front of Kurt. What more is that he instantly broke when Kurt yelled at him. Chris literally buried his face to his pillow.“I’m such an idiot.” He mumbled to himself. He knows that he didn’t cry because Kurt yelled at him, but because of how much effort it took for him not to confide everything to Kurt. He hates how weak he gets whenever he’s with Kurt.“Are you planning to die in there?” He heard Damien’s voice. Chris’ head is still buried in his pillow.“Wait!” Chris suddenly lifted his head. Damien’s attention went back to the human. Chris immediately took his phone from being charged and checked the calendar.“What is it?” Damien curiously asked. Chris sighed and buried his head on the pillow once again. He heard the demo
Succumbing into Darkness CHAPTER 36: BURDEN
“That killer officially pissed me off.” The demon is obviously furious. Chris could see the black smoke that used to surround Damien back when Chris couldn’t see his true form. He distanced himself from the demon as he was feeling the familiar suffocating sensation whenever Damien just fed. The demon continued rambling while following Chris. Would Damien come with him in the classroom?Chris sighed as he walked towards his classroom. He was scolded for entering the elementary building when it wasn’t allowed for cutting classes. It’s the first time, so the teachers are visibly worried about him. His teachers are noticing that he’s been usually spacing out in classes lately. They must be thinking that he was acting up because of what happened in his life. They aren’t wrong, but for a different reason. Chris was asked several times, but he dodged their questions and simply apologized for his actions. He even has to go to detention later.

“Could demons get drunk too?” Joaqin asked out of the blue. He turned to Linus who’s busy checking the fridge for food. Linus momentarily stopped his snack search and looked at Joaqin with questioning eyes. They have been together for a while but the demon never saw Joaqin drink.Joaqin stared at him while waiting for Linus’ answer, “we don’t.” Linus answered with an arrogant grin, “why? Are you asking me to drink with you?”Joaqin nodded, “Yeah. It’s exactly what I’m implying.” Joaqin could see Linus’ surprised reaction. He chuckled, is it so unusual that he’s inviting a demon to drink with him?Linus eventually laughed, “You’re challenging the wrong demon.” Joaqin stood and took out bottles of liquor he’s stocking. He brought four bottles and placed it on the table. He then took out two glasses. The demon shrugged and took out some food and sat bes
