Isalia/Karayan POV
I parked my car in front of Lorena's place and yawn since I only slept for four hours. I hear my passenger side door open and Lorena jumps in.
"Okay I have so much shit to tell you!" I stare at her and say "Well hello to you too. Did you sleep well, Isalia? No I didn't I had 4 hours of sleep thank you for asking." I roll my eyes as I chuckle and start the car and drove off to college.
"Well damn Isalia you are in a bitchy mood today and it is the only second day of college... wait stop changing the subject! Did you see the news?!" I gasp dramatically "Lorena watches the news?! That's new." She smacks my arm and giggles.
"Hey no hitting the driver!" I playfully glare at her.
"Okay sorry, but no seriously did you not see the news?" I gave her the "Did it look like I watched the news" look.
"Okay you know how you always complain about how boring Carpinteria is?"
"I said sometimes. YOU and the guys are the ones that complain about it." I correct her
"Ugh okay true but police found 36 dead bodies in Carpinteria and 16 in Goleta!" I slam my brakes hard, almost making both of us fly out of my car, thank the Lord there was no car behind us.
"Isalia what the hell? You could have caused an accident!"
"Sorry but are you sure there is only 36 dead bodies in Carpinteria and not 16 in Goleta?"
"Isalia I watched the news it said 36 in Carp and 16 in Goleta... Are you okay?" I nodded my head quickly and tried to mind link the demon I mean Karayan but obviously this stupid demon didn't answer me. It was quiet the whole way to college. I parked my car and got my bag.
"You okay? You are awfully quiet about the innocent people that were killed..." I stare at her as she is staring at me with worried eyes, I was about to tell her the truth about the 36 but our friends Eric and Solomon jump out of nowhere and scared the living shit out of us.
Lorena glared at them "Not cool guys!" They both chose to ignore her and Solomon said," Hey did you guys hear about the 36 and 16 dead bodies?! 36 of them were either stabbed, sliced or their heads were cut off and the 16 were all mauled up!" I snap my head towards Solomon
"Are you sure the 16 were mauled?" I asked and Solomon nodded "Why you asked?"
"Just wondering I-" Then we heard a motorcycle pulled up next to us, we all looked to see who it is, there getting off his motorcycle was our friend Julio... When did he get a motorcycle?
"Hey guys!" Julio gives us a huge smile and waves at us.
"Julio, since when did you get a motorcycle? Eric asked
"My dad gave it to me, so beautiful huh." He looks back at his motorcycle
"Well I got to head to class I will see you guys later." I said and left without waiting for their reply.
I sat down and pulled out my notebook, pen, highlighters and the notes from yesterday's English. I mind link Karayan again
"Karayan can you hear me?"
"Yes I can."
"Why didn't you answer me earlier?"
"I was waiting for you to tell your bestie the truth about the 36... you don't have the guts to tell her the truth after all."
"It is complicated but this isn't about the 36 it is about the 16 from another town... Do you think Azazel-"
"NO it was not him I know that for sure. They were mauled by another Demon."
"How do you know that?"
" Azazel is sort of like us-"
"You." I could imagine her rolling her red eyes at me.
"Sooner or later you will accept it but anyway he cleans up his mess and he does not mauled people."
I chose to ignore her and focus on my professor talking and writing things down. As I was writing down some notes, I felt someone staring at me, I look up to see a girl that I use to be friends with looking at me strangely, talking to her friend that I also knew while they both giggle and looking back at me giving me a dirty look. I chose to ignore them but of course this stupid Demon decided to mind link me.
"You are seriously going to ignore those bitches talking shit about you?"
"Maybe."
"They are planning on doing something shady to you, Isalia. I got something in mind to tell them to fuck off but it is going to be very painful."
"No just leave it alone."
"Ugh you are always-"
"Will you shut up!" I accidentally said it out loud and everyone turns around to look at me as my professor stares at me sternly. Shit.
I quickly said," Sorry I didn't mean to-"
"Final warning." As my professor continues the lesson.
I turn back to writing, as a piece of paper hits my head, I look up to see who did and of course it was those hoes who kept giving me dirty looks, I open it up to see a picture of my past that I regret doing and those bitches took a picture of it and underneath it said in all caps "WATCH YOUR BACK PERRA"
"Karayan."
"Yes?"
"You down to get... OUR hands bloody?"
"Hehehe I told you. You and I are the same, no one will stop us, we are unstoppable."
"You are right... about what you said earlier about what you can do... can you do it now?"
I waited for her response but then a shot a pain I felt in my eyes, I close them tightly and breathed heavily, a minute pass and the pain started to disappear.
"Open your eyes and look at them."
I did exactly what she told me to do, they gasp and turn away quickly. I pull out my small mirror and I gasp quietly, close my eyes and open them as they went back to my brown eyes.
"That was cool."
"That scare them for a bit. Can't believe you are wanting to kill them."
"They belong in Hell."
Class was finally over, I decided to go find my friends I texted Eric to know where they are at and they were in the library, I headed over there I took my time to admire the beautiful college campus, students and professors walking by, sunny day, birds singing and flying around. I recognized a cheerleader that I knew since elementary and decided to give her a small wave as she sees me and waves back giving me a smile. I went in the library and made my way towards my 4 well 3 friends since I didn't see Solomon.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I sat down on the empty seat next to Eric, they all look at me "What?"
"They announce who were the 36 and 14 people that have died last night. One of them is Nathalie..." Julio said as he sobs quietly, Lorena rubs his back trying to comfort him.
"Nathalie would always talk shit about everyone in high school... she was a two faced but her getting killed... she didn't deserve that." said Lorena, Solomon sat down the other side of me, his eyes were puffy from crying.
"I hope the police finds the person who is behind all of this! This is bullshit... Fuck it I want to face this person and look at them dead in the eyes as they rot in fucking jail!" yells Solomon and the Librarian shushes Solomon to keep his voice down. We all stayed quiet, this is how life is survive or die, to be honest I felt nothing like I have no feelings towards those people, it is like the Demon is actually taking over me as in there is no me but Karayan.
"Hey Isalia and Julio, want to come with us to Rusty's Pizza later on like at 8 or 9 pm?" Lorena asks me
"Sorry I can't, I have to go straight home."
"Yeah me too." Julio said
"Come on guys we haven't hung out together for a while." Eric said while he look a bit upset.
Julio shifted uncomfortable and sigh
"Okay but for a bit once I finish eating pizza I have to head out I got things to do."
"Getting laid Julio or what?" Eric jokes around as Julio just laughs and shakes his head
"Come on, Isalia. You have to come! Do it for Nathalie." Solomon pouts, I stood up and gather my things just as I was about to leave
"I can't sorry but I have to go now and Nathalie didn't give a shit about me... she would bullied me when I was younger and she never apologize to any of the shit she put me through, she didn't deserve death but maybe she pissed someone off and that made her or him snap." I said
And with that I walked away heading towards my car. At this point I needed answers from Azazel, I drove pretty fast and thankfully I didn't get pulled over, I arrived not long ago but I am standing in front of my apartment door, I sigh and walked in and Azazel is standing there waiting for me.
"Skip class I see. You are beginning to become a rebel aren't you."
"What is happening to me? Why me? I have so many questions I don't even know which one-"
"I will tell you everything, from the beginning. I am Azazel I'm also known as-"
"Satanel." I said as I stare at him "How did I know that?"
"You are developing... but anyway I am Standard Bearer of the armies of Hell. I fought many wars and won them all. Your creator Hecate, she is the one that made your Demon and well you sort of. The Gods were heading down to Hell to turn us into stones, before they came Hecate put everyone a sleeping spell, the Gods killed some of my warriors and turn everyone to stone, she cast a spell on me too once the Gods left, the stone crack and I followed the Demon around the globe searching for the chosen one and well it found you, before Hecate turn into stone she said you will become very powerful even when you are in human form. I believe three Demons from Hell have broke through the stone meaning they are out here killing people randomly which explains the 16 mauled people in Goleta and these Demons are no ordinary they are Furies, they are always out of controlled, I have a feeling a fourth one got out, I must go out find all of them and put them back to Hell." I stared at him trying to process everything, I just realized it was almost dark outside meaning I was going to turn anytime soon... I never thought of myself evil fuck I never wanted to kill anyone but Karayan came in and boom here I am with these powers that no one will never have... I don't have a choice and accept the fact that I am evil and dangerous to everyone.
"How can I help?" Azazel stares at me shockingly
"You want to help me capture the Furies?"
I nodded "But first I got two people I need to take care of."
"You surprise me... oh and tomorrow we will start training obviously with your human form, I believe Karayan filled you in that you need to know how to protect yourself just in case someone or maybe a group tries to jump you, I could teach you how to defeat them in your human form, are you willing to do this? Are you ready to become what you are truly meant to be?" He stands in front of me, staring at me with intense eyes as I stare back at him.
"I am ready." As my eyes change to red and smirk evilly.
