"H-Hakyoku-san... y-you're a monster!!! I hate you!!! I f***ing hate you!!!!!"

"And you say that like it's all my fault. You made me feel so much worse than what I made you feel Benny."

"S-Still, you killed them. They were our friends Hakyoku-san..."

"Oh of course my friends... My so called friends who betrayed me and made me suffer hell!!!"

"S-Shut up! You monster!!!"

"Yeah yeah, call me what you want. I'm just getting my revenge here... What you, Kenta, Seth and George did to me was ruthless. Those three got what they deserved. You know what happens to traitors Benny? Do you know what I do to people who betray me Benny?"

"W-What?!?!"

"They die. Traitors have no place in this world."

"They were humans Darck!!! They were innocent human bei-"

"Innocent? Humans? They were demons who brought hell to this world."

"Y-You really are a monster... Why don't you just go to hell already?!?!"

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you Benny? All of this... What happened to Uraki, Hajime and Kenta, It's all your fault."

"W-What are you talking about?!"

"You see, we could've been good friends ya know? The five of us hanging out, going to places we like, playing games in the arcade... Watching our favorite animes..."

"..."

"We could've been good friends Benny, but you changed that, and you made them turn against me. You guys betrayed me. You guys beat me up so many times and made me suffer. You framed me from your wrongdoings and I suffered what was supposed to be your punishments."

"H-Huh?"

"Oh stop pretending like you don't know. It's disgusting."

*eyes starts to widen* "W-Wha- I didn't... I swear I never did that!"

"I remember it as clear as day Benny. Hell you even killed my pet cat Rumi! You guys tied me up while you slowly beat her to death. I was begging to stop, but what did you do? You laughed with that sadistic smile on your face."

"N-No... Shut up! SHUT UP!!!"

"My poor Rumi died in vain. You made me watch her die right before my eyes as she suffered in agony..."

"What have I... What..."

"You created a monster Benny. I'll make sure I get my revenge on you as well! No turning back now."

"You apologize yet the damage has been done. If I die in this world and you're still alive, I'll haunt your soul until the day you die."

"NOOO!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!... I-I... NOOOOO!!! I-I REALLY..." *heavy breathing* "WHY..."

*Police sirens in the background*

"T-They're here now. They've come to hunt to me down. Don't worry, If go to hell when I die, I'm bringing you along with me."

"N-NOOOOOO!!!!! D-DARCK!!!!!"

*hangs up the phone*

Darck drops his phone looks deep into the walls with his blank eyes. He was sitting on the floor wearing his worn-out pajamas. His apartment from the second floor was surrounded by police cars. He knew exactly what would happen to him, what they would do to him, and the reason why they were here. It was about time. Looking across the dark messy room, he picked up his black hoodie and jeans. Taking a deep breath, he took one final glance at his apartment, the place where he spent most of his time in. Darck looked outside the window to see what the police were up to.

"Can I even escape at this point? I'm certain they all want me dead." Darck whispered to himself.

A gun fired nearby his window, almost hitting him. He quickly jumped over the window and ran for his life. He climbed over the rooftops in attempt to escape.

"There he is! Quick! He's trying to escape!" shouted one of the officers."

Darck continued to run and jump over the rooftops. He quickly scaled down one of the poles and began to run faster. As he leaned back and forth to look if they were catching up, his life started to flash between his eyes. His face remained expressionless, as if he were a human with no emotions. One of the police cars hit him on the sides and he came crashing down the road. Blood dripping down on his face, he knew it was all over. He lied down powerless and out of breath.

"What a f***ing stupid life... I absolutely hate this world, and I hate every single person living in it..."

While he was down, a gun fired hitting his torso. Blood slowly started to gush out of his body, as started coughing up blood and his vision started to blur.

"I-If ever I'm given another life... I-I'll burn everything... in... my... path ."

Another shot was fired, and the bullet went straight to his head. The news flashed: "The suspect named Daruko Hakyoku is held responsible for the cold-blooded murder of Makoto Hakyoku, Yui Hakyoku, Kenta Masayoshi, Hajime Nakano and Honjō Uraki. "It was the 8th of September, 2:00 in the afternoon in Nambanaka, Kyoto when his body was found laying down the road, drenched in blood, cold, and dead."

Darck's former friend Benny was watching the news that night. With his mind full of regret and twisted thoughts, he grabbed a rope and chair, tied his neck to the ceiling and took his own life.
