Chapter 11 - Chapter Eleven

It was a black night, the clouds covering the moon as Isha opened his eyes. He was in the back of an ally, not able to really see all too well. Off in the distance he heard a wet tearing. He felt an urge to towards it. Getting closer he was able to see a figure leaned over something.

Isha slowly went over to them, freezing at the sight. It was him. Hair all white, eyes red, nails black. He… was eating something. Isha's eyes widened as his blood ran cold. It was Hank. The other him was tearing into him, blood splattering as he dug in.

He suddenly stopped and looked up at Isha, holding a forearm in his hand. He stood up, grinning at Isha, and walking towards him, tossing the hand aside.

"What's… wrong? Are you… scared... Isha?" He backed away as the man got closer got closer. "C'mon… I'm… you. There's nothing… to fear. We're one… in the same… you and…. I." Isha ended up stumbling, falling backwards. As he pressed against a wall, the other him knelt in front of him.

"Kihihihi…. You're me… and I'm… you. One in the same… Why so… scared… C'mon… let's have some…. Fun~ Kikikiki" The other him grinned, giggling madly to himself. Isha shook his head, clasping it with his hands.

"N-no. I'm not you! I'm human… I'm not going to let that happen... I'm not going to let you have fun… We are not the same!" Isha stood up and landed a kick in the other one in the core, sending him back a bit.

The other him jumped back up with a growl, still grinning at Isha.

"That hurt…" He ran towards Isha and grabbed him by the throat, running up the side of a building with him. "That hurt that hurt! But.. You're right…" The other him jumped up and threw him at the roof of the building. "I'm not you… Kikikikiki~"

As Isha hit the roof with a thud, the surroundings changed to that of a decent sized apartment. A figure was there, drinking tea at an island table. It looked like Isha before being possessed.

"You're… more like him..." The demon Isha growled. The human Isha watched them as he drank his tea.

"Why are you here? I'm trying to enjoy myself here." He watched them with narrowed eyes. "And I already said you're not allowed in here. You keep making a mess of this place."

"I'm only… having fun~" The demon smirked, letting out another giggle

"O-of course I'm more like him! I'm… I'm a human! You're a demon!" Isha shouted. The human Isha was about to say something, but Isha ran out of the apartment. "C'mon. There has to be something out here I can use… or a way out."

He ran out of the apartment, the streets empty as he ran down them. The demon was right behind him, Isha was able to hear the footsteps. Suddenly, the demon was in front of him, and roundhouse kicked him into a building to the right.

"Tsk tsk. Trying to tun away…. Are we~?" He let out another giggle.

The inside of the building was that of a Cathedral. Isha saw small children lined up as a priest wrote on a clipboard, going down the line, stopping at what looked like a small version of Isha.

"Or maybe…. you've forgotten what…. we're up against?" The demon growled. The priest said something and grabbed the wrist of the small Isha, taking him away. As Isha went to chase him, the demon threw him out of the building, the street turning back into the alleyway.

"I am you… and you… are… me... Accept it… Kihihihi… before I… Hihi… make you~" The demon growled, pinning Isha down. Isha kicked the demon in the core again, sending him a bit away.

"You… are not me! I am me. And I am going to do as I see fit… I know what I'm up against! But I'm not going to kill people like yesterday… I didn't need to do that… I shouldn't have done that..." The demon rolled his eyes at Isha's words. "I'm not… going to become a monster like you!" Isha shouted at him.

"A monster~ Me~? Uhhikikiki!" He giggled maniacally jumping back up, getting closer to Isha again. "Maybe I… am… Hihihihi~? You can choose~… So long.. as we have fun~. Kihihihi." He giggled out again. "But… Don't fool yourself… I am you… or rather we are him.. " He giggled again. "But… Just be yourself… for now at least~"

Isha was about to say something but got interrupted.

"Tell the small… Delectable girl hi~." Isha's eyes widened and he was about to say something, but demon pounced on him, sinking his teeth into Isha's jugular. Everything went black for a moment before he saw a light.
