He explored the towns library and any books he could find in his Clan even if they were useless. Years on years of doing such things eventually led him into stumbling across a book that would help push him towards the thing he wanted the most. "The Basic Guide To The Astral Path" This book may not of been special to anyone in the long run but, it was to him because, it was his new beginning. With this new path available to him would he be able to push through all the obstacles and hardships waiting for him or in the end will he stumble and fall? Or will people be there to catch him if he does once again?

Lonely and Confused

Zelfin after finally gaining some distance looked behind him just in case he had still been followed afterwards but after a couple of seconds of waiting he still didn't spot Xilo coming after him. Breathing a sigh of relief he finally started to calm down. Now with some time to think and breath he thought of going to the adults to tell them about Xilo but that thought quickly disappeared when he realized they would also wonder why he was there and knew about it so he dropped the idea. He didn't think anything further about future revelations because he wasn't even sure what would happen to the two of them now.

"What was that..."

Setting his friends on the ground, that was the first thing they asked him when they finally were able to speak but Zelfin had no idea either. He didn't want to think about it either honestly.

"I don't know and I don't care to find out. Let's just get you to the Clan's doctor."

"What will we tell them?"

"It doesn't matter, we'll just make an excuse. Stick to my story I'll tell you on the way."

With that they slowly walked in the direction of the doctors room and left that terrifying sight and memory behind as much as possible. Though none of them would be able to sleep for weeks on end recalling sight of that horrendous and terrifying experience.

Yilel felt uncanny pain run through her body that felt like her bones were being crushed while she was sleeping that caused her to try and open her eyes. But when she tried she realized that she was struggling to even do that let alone move her body and she had no idea why. Her head was a mess while her memories were a bit fuzzy at the moment while she struggled. The pain kept increasing though as she struggled until eventually she felt her body was forced to sit still and something gripped her.

Something gripped her shoulders and increasingly applied more and more pressure that caused her even more pain. At this point she realized she wasn't in a normal situation in the slightest and started to panic on the inside as she tried to recall what happened and where she even was. "What's happened.." With the pain amplifying she eventually remembered when Zelfin and his goons walked up to her and asked her to come with her. Disgusted by the sight of them she instantly turned them down like always and walked away. Thankfully they usually backed off after she turned them down but this time they seemed different as they refused to back down even though she was becoming colder and colder to them as they continued pestering her.

Unfortunately though just before she got completely fed up with them they finally revealed the reason they were acting that way and it horrified her. they told her they were holding her friend hostage and that she had to come with them. She was skeptical about the entire thing but thinking of the risk of it being truth and likelihood of it being possibly true when she considered who it was she reluctantly agreed to follow them. But when they arrived at the location they said he was at she found nothing there and was instead just surrounded by the three boys with no escape. After that they started to harass her until she eventually got angry enough and attempted to escape. However she wasn't any able to escape from the three of them and was essentially trapped.

She knew at that point something good wasn't going to happen and that's when she saw the boy she had been looking for enter in the corner of her eye. Despairing at that sight she panicked and lost focus as she was soon knocked to the ground well caught off guard. Remembering up to there she felt a sharp pain enter at the bottom of her stomach that interrupted her memories as she was finally able to open her eyes a little bit. But what she saw terrified her to the extreme.

She saw a boy dragging his tongue across her stomach slowly travelling up little by little until it eventually went past her breasts and up to her shoulder. The whole time she saw blood gushing out where his tongue went while pain rippled through her. She also noticed she couldn't move her leg in the slightest anymore as she turned to look at her shoulders to see the boy's hands digging into her leaving deep marks that would probably leave scars.

Panicking at the sight and not knowing what was going on, fear ran through her mind as she looked at her body and the boy on top of her who's aura and looks sent shivers down her spine. Until eventually the boy looked up and seemingly locked eyes with her. But all she saw in his eyes was a pit of bottomless anger and hunger that had no end, it seemed as though he was staring at her like she was absolutely nothing to him. Slightly crying at the sight while shivering she was finally able to move her body a little more as one word fell out of her mouth unconsciously while seeing that sight..

"M-mon...ster.."

She was scared and angry especially at that thing on top of her at the moment but there was nothing she could do but stare viciously at it.

Staring at that face hatred and fear flashed through her eyes as she studied his face while that word leaked through her mouth. But a couple of seconds later her eyes widened. The boy in front of her stopped moving closer to her as if frozen stiff and she watched as he took her hands off her while he seemed to struggle with something. Taking the time she studied his face as she watched the thing she called a monster randomly toss and turn his head until eventually stabbing himself in the arm with one of his blades. With that time given to her she was finally able to get a good look at the boy in front of her as she started to notice similarities between it and the boy she knew. Then her memories from before appeared in her mind as she put the pieces together and finally came to a realization but it was too late.

She watched as the boy quickly got off her and ran away leaving her sight in a near second leaving her lost and confused.
