The Wolf and The Sheep

Staring out of the window, her eyes they looked at the families walk by the streets but her soul was wandering to places far off. To speak about it, the two sides of her mind were lost in wars. One that instructed her to be good, to think good and to do good and the other which brought back the concerns of the society. It told her about this rotten world, of those rotten people and they who did not deserve to live. She knew her demons were stronger, strong enough to conquer her angels.

She looked back inside the school bus feeling pissed about the stupidity of those around her. The other children were gossiping about their academics and love life.

"Ying yue! Are you free tonight? Lets hang out?" she heard someone call out.

" Well I am busy. Gonna go for a date."

This date was nothing other than resting at home or going to her preps.

The bus stopped near the alley leading to her home and as she got down, her eyes widened. A rush of joy sparkled in them, as she saw Lee Shin standing by the road. He was the only person she felt love for other than herself.

The bus roared past but they still stood there, and both the pair of eyes gazed at one another. They realized they had changed. The once extremely talkative yet secretive Ying yue had lost her spirit of talking and the sleepy and foody Lee Shin, well he seemed to have grown cold and dark.

Back in 8th grade Ying yue still remembered the day at school when everyone was calling her mysterious and evil for just expressing her feelings about the world. It was then that Lee Shin had said " Nothing like so. I know you are just socially awkward and its nothing wrong to express your emotions. "

However he dropped out of school at class 9 and Ying yue learned to not speak her head out. She understood humans were just vulnerable creatures who understood nothing more than just pleasure and did nothing except committing sins.

Ying yue:" I was not socially awkward its just what I had thought back then and I still believe now. To change the world you have to use the guns."

Lee Shin:" I guess you were correct. Can you spare me some time?"

Ying yue could not help but notice how low his voice had got. The youthful and energetic soul seemed to have spattered into tiny pieces and all of them could never be fixed back again. " Is 8 possible for you? Meet me here."

Lee shin nodded and stood there till Ying yue left.

Heading home she saw her mom flipping through the family album.

" You were such a bright girl. Look at you now." said her mom.

Ying yue:" Well nothing can be done about that, circumstances make people change. Can you make me some food? I am going to study in my room."

Mom:"If dad had been here he would have been so happy to see this album."

"I told you not to mention him." said Ying yue. Walking up the stairs she recalled her dad. A man filled with ambitions. She was an 8 year old back, when her sister was to give birth. Months of awaiting were finally to come alive when on that very day her mother got sick. A family member was to be needed but there was none except her and her parent's cash. On giving a call to her father he merely said that he had urgent work and was thus unable to come. She never knew those were his last words. Her sister, she died before being born and as for her mother she had been confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. With tears filled eyes when she dialled her father's number well it was unreachable. Later she came to know from the television that her father, late FBI agent Mr. Yue had been killed in a mass terrorism attack. All they spoke about, were his achievements and how he served the nation till his last breath. Seldom knew about the family which had been left behind, shattered.

Ying yue thought, maybe I am wrong to be grudging at dad, after all, duty calls first. But what has happened cant be undone. Staring at the mirror she looked into her reflection. A child playing with a police car, and her parents cheering her on. Those days have faded, a normal family has gone. Stepping in and stepping out of the doors of this house, she couldn't help getting flashbacks of the past and of the struggles it took for her mother and herself to save this house.

After lunch and some studies eight o clock arrived. She decided to put on something good. It was like a blue moon, to feel happiness and hope surging within herself. It felt different. At the alley she saw Lee Shin and waved at him.

He had an unique beauty. His eyes were black unnaturally black, something she never noticed before. His fingers were long and bony and his hair had a greyish tinge to the ruffled dark brown bangs. But yet his eyes she could never take her gaze of them.

Lee Shin:" Can we walk to the park. The pond looks pretty in the moonlight."

Ying yue:" Sure. Well, why did you drop out so suddenly?"

Lee Shin:" Do I have to tell you that? Why do you even care?"

Ying Yue:" 2 years and you ask me why?"

Lee Shin: " My parents were murdered by a killer. They

were spy agents. Since then I had to strive for living."

Ying yue having faced a similar problem and seeing Lee shin, someone she cared for, to have faced it too, she couldn't control herself. A tear trickled down her cheek but she rubbed it off. She wanted to show her cheerful side to Lee Shin.

"Let's not recall it. There is an ice cream seller nearby, want some?"

Lee Shin:" Sure. And vanilla please."

Ying yue bought two ice cream and they shared it by the riverside.

Ying yue:" Some habits remain the same. You still prefer vanilla over chocolate."

Lee Shin:" But some do change and it was a big mistake for you to come here. I have powers you cant imagine about."

Ying yue:" Wh-What do you mean?"

Lee Shin: "Yue, I see it your soul, your mind and the war going inside. Your evility is stronger and mine is too. You have something passionate within you. I may be the Satan(wrath) but you are Lucifer(pride). Yes, they are the demons but if they grant you power would you take them to defeat the evil? Remember you and I, we both will be the only evils left and all others dead and dusted at our foot. Do you want the power?"

Ying yue thought, I know I cannot become the evil. Atleast to erase evil, you have to be one. To make this world a better place without crime, without nuisance without lust and without greed I have to do this. Nobody else can. Nobody but I can bring justice to this world.

Ying yue:"Tell me."

Lee Shin:" After my parents death I gave up everything but anger. I had been granted the title of Sathanas and my home was the Abbadon. They say I, the devil introduces people to hell but I couldn't and I cannot. When I lost all hope i was reminded of you and as I saw you today I could see a new fire within you something which never shone so brightly. So, I tell you to hold my hands and I will grant you the eye, the power to control and decieve people and to eventually kill the rotten ones. We are the workers of hell and though it is unbelievable but it feels as though I am working for heaven. Lets do this together. Even after death we will have each other, even when we disappear into nothingness."

Ying yue: " Grant it to me. Though this is hard to believe but I believe you. Hence I hold your hands. Grant me the power."

The last bit of goodness at the back of her mind died away. She held his hand. They were ice cold but comfortable and inviting. She felt a surge of energy within her. It had never felt so good. Everything blacked out in front of her.

"Yue..Yue..wake up! You are asleep for the past 1 hour." said Lee shin. He was smiling down at her. She had fallen from the bench where they both were seated a while ago. Was it all a dream? wondered Ying yue.

"Shin, can i ask you something? Did we speak anything about the Eye?"

"Just think about the victim and how you want them to die and they will be dead." said Lee Shin casually. "Back then when I got this power I had a hard time controlling it. I stopped going out of the house as, if I even had a slight thought of killing someone they died. But now it is controlled.

Ying yue's face turned pale. Will the innocent die because of me?

Lee shin smirked."Look at your face now. This very thought will control your power." He rubbed some melted icecream of Ying yue's lips and kissed them.

Ying yue was taken by surprise. She thought, does he like me?

Lee Shin: "No, its not that I like you but this was necessary to control your powers.

Ying yue:" Wait how?"

Lee Shin: "No more questions. I will leave you home. And I will be joining school tomorrow onwards."
