Revenge

"Zzz"

A streak of lightning left the boy's hands, moving towards Caedes, who, being the weakling he was- Tried to run away.

"Ahh!" He screamed out loud as his body lost balance, hitting the cement roads with a thud, tears of extreme pain streamed down his eyes.

It was not long before he lost consciousness. Unknown of how his fate was gonna change all over again.

In a dimly lit, underground basement, Oslo stood in front of 4 figures. Raphael, a boy wearing dark black robes, a guy named Samuel who wore a blue colored 2 piece suit and two other guys Oslo didn't know much about.

Waking up to the sound of people hushing, feeling drowsy and light, Caedes flapped his eyelids open as he felt the bind around his hands.

"Hmm?" He frowned lightly before memories of him being electrocuted gushed into his mind. His eyes turned cold as he glanced at the 5 boys standing in front of him.

"What… is the meaning of this- Raphael!" His voice cracked.

"Isn't this what you wanted...Do you remember when a year ago, during the yearly competitions, you humiliated me in front of everyone, as you pointed that glaive at my neck? You told me that I can never surpass you. Well...I dare you to say it now!" The boy named Raphael exclaimed as he stood a dozen steps away from him, Glaring at him with glowing eyes.

Raphael's pointy face distorted as he smiled eerily and spoke,

"I still remember those eyes of yours, those eyes filled with fear even though you had won that day."

Caedes instincts flared as he struggled to move, scared that his thoughts might come true.

"I waited for 2 damn years!" His black eyes flashed with killing intent.

"My 2 years of determination started to weaken as you kept improving. Alas! God was not blind as the news of you being unable to awaken your ancestral bloodline spread around the country.

That was when the flames of hope inside my heart spiked and I desperately searched for information about you." Raphael stared down at Caedes' who kept on squirming around to free himself from the grasp of the rope.

Silence consumed the small basement as none of the children behind Raphael knew that there was such hatred between the two...Raphael's once small figure seemed full of depth.

Even though his height betrayed him, his broad shoulders, and classic black hair along those dead, black eyes gave him an unfathomable presence.

"It wasn't until two weeks ago that I found out about it, your illness..."

"Raphael! Theodore will find me soon, don't think he will leave you be if anything happens to me."

The said boy ignored his warnings as he continued, "In the reports, they had stated that you seem to have close to an obsession with blood, so much that you turn crazy for it.

Aren't you just scared that once you consume or even touch blood, you'll turn into a bloodthirsty beast?"

The boys behind Raphael gulped as they saw him acting madly, turning their heads towards a corner. They found a few heavy barrels and assumed that they just happened to be there-

Caedes' body started trembling as he fell, the chair still tied to him-

Looking at Caedes' actions, he was sure that the reports were true. He started walking towards him step by step, looking at him with an intense gaze that matched one of a hunter.

Standing in front of the boy, he kicked the chair and watched as the ropes pulled Caedes back.

The chair broke into pieces, allowing Caedes to finally able to move properly. He crawled towards the exit when a hand grabbed onto his ankle, lifting his body and smashing the boy onto one of the barrels-

"Aahhh!!!" Caedes screamed as the barrel he was smashed into broke, the blood inside it covering his body. Raphael teleported, appearing beside the boy. He bent to the height of Caedes, bringing out a dagger while pointing at his figure.

" p-p-please-save m-m-eee!!" Caedes stuttered, he turned towards the 4 boys behind Raphael who just kept their heads down acting as if they hadn't even heard anything.

One of them even daringly shouted at him, "Shut up... Trash!" Raphael raised his hand to the one who spoke. Hurriedly bowing his head, Samuel went back to the people standing behind the boy...

Locking eyes with Caedes, Raphael slashed his dagger horizontally, barely enough to not damage his vocal cords.

Red liquid oozed out of his neck as the boy tried to stop the blood flow with his measly strength. After all, it had been a long time since he worked out and all that was left of him were bones and stringy muscles, his body was weak. 

"You talk too much. For a dead person that is." Raphael voiced out.

Caedes' consciousness started to blur as he was about to faint when a bolt of lightning struck him.

His eyes protruded as tears washed off the blood covering his face, his body started convulsing repeatedly as Raphael stood up, taking a few steps back.

Walking to the kids behind him, Raphael looked upon the sorry state Caedes was in and requested with an unfounded passion-

"Now then, can you please turn into the beast you are?"

Caedes' screams turned louder as seconds passed, it seemed that he was trying his best to calm himself down.

"Is it safe to turn him into a beast? What if we can't stop him?" Raphael snorted, swinging the dagger in his hands, cleanly cutting the head of the unknown boy who had just spoken.

Oslo and Samuel felt their hearts come out as they watched the bloody scene. One of them even started vomiting at the sight of it.

It was then that Caedes' screams died down and his body stopped shaking, it was as if he had died.

Raphael pointed to one of the boys, telling him to look if Caedes was finally dead when the blood covering the boy started moving, it was like his body was absorbing it.

The boy raised his neck that had miraculously healed as his lifeless eyes gazed at the 4 boys.

Unknown to the 4 or the world, this was the first step that would eventually lead to their destruction...
