chapter 3 part 3

what"Malach? seriously " Ella said lifting her eyebrow. After school instead of heading home , Anthonie had a soccer practice for the upcoming game so Damien and Ella went into a nearby diner - with Ella looking like an undercover idol - . He told her the name he used as his last and she burst into laughter. " That's the best joke I've ever heard!"

"what did you expect me to tell her , ' sorry I don't have a last name'?"He was a little angry , but he was more embarrassed from the name he chose.

"I'm sorry , I'm sorry" she said when she saw his ears turn red. "it's actually a cute name. Kinda suits ya.." she mumbled the last part.

"god I wish it was Halloween" he said as their pasta was served.

"why Halloween?" she asked as she was already half way through

"because it would be a " he winked and made air guns "creepy pasta , ey!".

'sh*t' he thought as he watched Ella's expressionless face stare at him for his bad joke. 'i shouldn't have used this one!!!'

"pfft" she burst out laughing loudly at his terrible pun gaining everyone's attention. "creepy!! HAHAHAHA!! CREEPY PASTA!!! "

"you're getting better at this " she said taking her breathe ."good job Tomato" she gave him a thumbs up.

"I knew you'd love it" he said as his ears got redder. "I'm The best after all"

"anyway, Let's get to the real talk" She said getting serious and quiet, her eyes went cold and her voice quiet and stiff. Damien's grin turned into a small frown and got abit nervous , Nothing good happens when she's serious.

"It was right there Robens!" The couch yelled at Anthonie , he was the goal keeper and he got only half of the balls. His physique wasn't strong ar as big as his peers so it was hard for him to keep the balls away. It was his first day practising in this new city , he did play before but people were aware of his special condition.

"I'm trying couch" he panted as he removed the dirt off his hair. He could use his barriers but it'd be too obvious.

"try harder" shouted the couch. The balls started raining on him again , he cursed under his breathe and tried to stop as many as he could.

Two hours later , the training ended he was the most bruised one of the bunch . He limped his way to the limo waiting for him outside , embarrassed by being the weakest one of his group age and getting a few laughs from his teammates his face was rose red. He heard his phone buzz and saw the message notification,:

Sissy🖤:' Can't guess who I met today~ ❤️'

Ella sent him a picture of her with a short girl with short blonde hair that fades to fire red , hazel eyes and an anime like physique. He couldn't help but laugh at their silly pose , another picture came and their pose a even more hilarious with Damien posing with them.

Damien walked out of his room as the clock hit 3 am , he walked down to the kitchen to drink some water when the glass broke in his hand. He cursed as he started collecting the glass shards.

"Damien?" Ella was right behind him with her hand on his shoulder. "what are you doing here? " she looked sleepy , her hair was everywhere and her eyes were half closed.

"I .. was trying to drink some water an-" she seemed as if she wasn't hearing him.

"why aren't you answering me?" she asked abit concerned.

"what? no , you're not hearing m-" he tried to grab her hands but she bolted out.

"you know forget it!" she said annoyed. he walked after her and Tried to grab her but she started screaming and crying. "please... don't hurt me..." she sobbed as he held her arms.

"Ella?!" he yelled as she passed out. He tried to shake her but she didn't respond.

Everything turned black and he heard giggling then shot up. He was sweating like crazy and his heart was bursting. He rubbed his eyes and felt the dried tears , He was relieved that it was a dream . Ella's screams started and he rushed to her room , Anthonie was already comforting her , But once she saw him she ran away to the corner . She was terrified of him , she was scared OF HIM. He felt a strange tingling sensation in his arms , it hurts and when he noticed , his arms were slowly turning black. He ran back to his room and sat in the floor , she was as scared as she was in the dream. He didn't want it to happen again , he won't lose her .... Not again.
