3 The Blood dungeon

FOUR MONTHS AFTER TEMPESTS'REBIRTH

I had just finished my 24th dungeon today, CX told me that if I was lucky there could be a chance that I could have a promotion from F rank to E rank based on achievements only, so I kept on relentlessly going. The dungeon wasn't just a job for me anymore. It became an addiction, a constant thirst for more crawled along my throat. I dived in to these hell holes day after day, maybe it wasn't just for Rin's tuition anymore, maybe I wanted to be someone that she was happy to see on TV just like Aeilla, or maybe I wanted to prove to myself that I was more than just an F rank slayer. I got home at around 2 in the morning almost every day now, I needed to get that promotion so I would sometimes try and even do two dungeons in a single day. Honestly looking back at it It never crossed my mind, the idea that every time I step into Hells gate it could be my last, I could be leaving my sweet precious baby sister behind. But I had to push forward, I had to keep going. For her.

As I lay asleep on my mattress that smelled of blood ,sweat and torn armour. I thought about what it would be like if the dungeons never opened, and maybe if they hadn't then we wouldn't have lost .. them. I reopened my eyes to the day when the Blood dungeon first opened. Thefilled the streets with a dark crimson elixir. It was human blood the monsters..They climbed out of the gate, for the first time in the history of dungeon hunting. These colossal beasts of destruction ravaged the town we were living in. I took my sister and ran, my father prior to him running head first. Eyes shut into the abyss told me " whatever happens to me or your mother, RUN and never turn around!!!"

Our dark haired mother with a single Solemn tear dripping down her face mouths the words " I love you" before the blaze took her from me... took her from us. The devils true lair. And I did nothing to save them from it, I did nothing. After that day the words " coward " " weakling " were bellowed at me by outsiders, kids at school that didn't know what true, pure , unholy fear was. The type you only read about in the newspaper. The types you only see in novels. I could almost taste the disgust coming from the teachers when they were speaking to me. I thought " but I was a 16 year old kid, what could have I done" although everyone knew the answer to that there was no denying the fact that if I told them to run and maybe sacrificed myself they could be alive, my soft kind mother, my Stern yet loving father, they should be taking care of Rin not me. I'm just a lowly coward. Someone was shouting at me " wake up, Temp you better wake up now " I was confused a cold rush flew through my body my sister just poured water on me " wha what happened" I exclaimed sounding like a complete idiot " you need to take me to school " I forgot I was meant to be taking Rin to school today before the next raid. She stood there tapping her foot, arms folded in annoyance. " it was just a nightmare " I said under my breath with a quiet sigh of relief . Rin's face made a confused expression before she stormed of shouting " I'm waiting in the car " it was all just a dream, a nightmare of the past. Little did I know that , that same nightmare had come to haunt me again.
