The Dark Light-Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Crescendo P.O.V

I came to in the same place I collapsed. I held my head, groggy. I looked around to get my bearings.

I remembered the fight with the creatures, and...

"Kayla." I looked around she was nowhere in sight. "Kayla!"

My legs moved my themselves. I ran around the school, shouting her name. I was aware of the eyes on me, I didn't care, I was going to find her. I was stopped when someone grabbed my arm.

"Whoa hey. Where are you going?" The voice was Lucian's.

"Kayla's gone. I can't find her." I said.

Lucian paused, I saw a moment of heistation. "Alright. I'll find Rachel. You keep looking for her."

I nodded and we went our seperate ways. I kept running, shouting. In the end I reached where I started. At the same field. I saw my switchblade and I picked it up.

I remember the creatures, how I stopped them.

"I killed them." The realisation hit me like a brick wall. I had killed someone, or something, still I killed them without any mercy.

"Isn't it wonderful? Death, it is truly a beauty." A new voice came from behind me. I turned around, the voice belonged to a guy, his hair was brown and his eyes black.

"Who are you?"

"A messenger." He stepped closer to me. "Listen well, warrior of fate. Kayla no longer belongs to you. She is mine now. She chose me."

"What? Did you just steal my girlfriend?" I exclaimed.

"You could say it that way." He grinned. "She is not like you. Not a human, not a vampire, nor a demigod. She is a monster, she should be with her own kind."

"She is not a monster!" I shouted. "She loves, she feels. She may not be like me, but she's not a monster!"

"Don't raise your voice to me mortal. Was it not you who left her? Let her fall prey to the monsters?"

His words kept me silent.

"Good, that's how you should be. An insect should not talk back to a god." He turned around. "I hope you'll learn your lesson."

"Why you!" The mark that Nyx gave me on my hand burned. I lunged at the guy, for a moment a glowing blade appeared in my hands. Unfortunately, I went straight through him as if he was a hologram.

"Goodbye Crescendo. This will be the last time we meet." Then he disappeared.

I punched the ground, and let out a scream of rage. That idiot...he took Kayla. The mark stopped burning, there was no sword in my hands. I was alone.

I heard Lucian's and Rachel's coming closer. They were shouting my name.

I was on my knees, frozen. I found myself repeating Kayla's name over and over again.

"I'll find you Kayla. I promise." I said silently, as Lucian came to my side.
