Blue-Haired Demon

I didn't have a choice in the matter. Avie dominated my mind right now, corroding it with violent thoughts without giving me room to breathe. She reminded me so much when that Wrath came through. Domin, Ullr, Red, learning about Cody and Robby, Xavier, Drake, everybody came into my mind.

Quake was a roadblock... a roadblock... that's how we defined them. A block in the road, all that was wrong in the world. Unbearably blocking Avie and me from completing our goal.

It had been a long time since I gave into the Wrath. Not even in my fight with Dani and Illya did I give in, holding back all that I could. The last time was... Providence, I believe.

And now, that Wrath was being revived to deal with her son.

I couldn't go into this form without hyperventilating, remembering all that has happened, and feeling overwhelmed with emotions. Avie took a straight stride in, but I was being left behind, and dominated by her presence in my own body.

My hair started to shift more into blue than normal, almost covering my entire skull. My eyes were shifting into hers, glowing brighter and brighter.

My left arm started to slim down to match hers, showing a slight, yet visible difference from my right one.

Finally, my left arm had a weird pattern, like a complex tattoo that ran all the way to my elbow. It looked as if it was slowly expanding.

Cole came up on my possessed body, and Avie caught the arm he used to strike at my neck, bent it, and struck at his stomach. A shockwave emitted, and I felt... pleasured.

Like an itch I couldn't reach was scratched. Like when I'm stressed and Dani would place her hands on my shoulders... it was bliss...

I gave in, chasing Cole as he bounced off the ground, and swung my body around to put my foot parallel to the ground before crashing it into the ground to stop him.

Austin's blades shot out of the ground, and I bounced off of them, hitting Cynthia in the stomach, and then kicking Austin up in the air again.

My golden strands collided with Avie's ability to speed up, and we caught Austin in the air, throwing him to the ground, and pushing against him with thousands of pounds of pressure. The ground sunk underneath him, and I was able to split him in half with the pressure I put on his stomach.

I kept thinking of the past while I let Avie continue. I didn't even want to stop her, I was too afraid to act on my own. She was cornering me, further and further, until I would lose my body, I feared.

Fighting Wrath, whether it was Dani's or mine, felt hopeless and overpowering. It felt like no matter what I tried, it wouldn't work.

Austin and Amy both fused into the same body after Avie split them in half, and their voices were fused, just like Avie's and mine.

Avie charged in again, punching with my left arm at a quick pace. My body made the impact of the connecting punches feel numb because of the dispersion of power across everything.

With the punches at such a fast pace, Austin was shot back with so many shockwaves that he was thrown into the dome created around us.

For a final strike, Avie charged in, pushing against his body and widely bending the dome. I was sure it was going to pop like a balloon at any second, but to my surprise, with her onslaught of inhuman speed and both of our vendettas combining against Amy's ability to drown people, the dome released Austin back into the world, and closed back up to block anybody else from leaving.

The strand control that was needed to open and close a dome between Avie's quick bursts of speed could only belong to Alexia. She was watching over, me and very easily control the flow of battle by changing who was near me, and who wasn't. My biggest concern, after everything, was getting Avie to calm down.

She wasn't using her stamina anymore, she was using mine and didn't know how to throttle it like I had spent all the time of my life figuring it out. By the end, I would be out, and she would've done nothing.

"AVIE!" I screamed out. She paused in her tracks as Cynthia, Fico, and Cole all moved closer to me.

"You are too afraid to move forward, I will move for you," She said. My leg started to shift now as well, I lost control of my right leg in a fraction of a second, and she just continued forward. She wasn't stopping for anything...

Dammit... I'm sorry Avie…

"You couldn't possibly think that this is the reason I was killed all that time ago, could you? That your relentless anger toward somebody is what tunneled your vision into one target that never even mattered in the end?" I asked her. She froze once more.

I hated this... I hated that I had to be a hypocrite, to blame her for the same guilt I've always felt. I didn't want to pass this pain on to anybody else.

"Maybe the real reason I died is because of the same thing you're doing right now," I told her.

The blocked-out sun from the Eclipse was regaining its shine, slowly claiming the battlefield once more.

"I know it is. I was never taught to do anything else. Were you, Sky? Were you taught to talk things through? Or were you taught to kill without hesitation, no matter the opponent? Because deep, deep into the bowels of your heart, you knew that people were too ignorant to see the world as peaceful as your dreams do," Avie told me.

The shimmering sunlight coated the ground now as the Eclipse started to move backward. Avie's eyes glistened as they subtracted in color.

"Maybe the reason we both claimed the idea of being monsters, is because we don't want anybody else to be one," She told me.
