Chereads / The Demonic Cards / Chapter 6 - Chapter 5 1/3: Numbness

Chapter 6 - Chapter 5 1/3: Numbness

No One's POV-

"What?!" Cane stares wide-eyed at Yuna and Maya shifts in her bed weakly smiling at Cane.

"Cane?" She props herself on her elbow and looks at two terrified faces.

Cane quickly walks towards his weak sister. Yuna lowers her head in shame not knowing how to help and still guilty.

"Yuna is that you?"Maya's hazy eyes look at Yuna and she smiles.

"Maya! L-lay down!"Cane signs this to Maya as he yells.

"Cane I'm fine!"Maya tries to stand up but as soon as she tries to stand up she falls on her face cartoonishly.

"Urgh... Caaaaaaaane heeeeeeeeeelp, pleeeeeeeaaaase" Maya extends her hand up for help but Cane refuses to help.

"Well you did do this to yourself, I told you to not to get up now look at you!" Maya giggles and wobbly stands up thanks to a wall near by.

"You're so mean!" She almost falls again but Cane helps her sit down on the bed.

Yuna shuffles a little nervous as if she's being watched. Cane turns his attention back to Yuna, sits beside Maya, and pats his little sister's head.

"Back to the subject... where is Notru?" Cane sits next to Maya.

"I put him in a temporary cell at the entrance." Maya smiles at her and she looks away fiddling with her arm.

Cane keeps petting Maya's dark red hair and realizes something.

"Shit! We have to go!" Cane takes Yuna's hand and waves good bye to Maya so she understands at least half of what he's doing.

Maya does the lenny face at him and she laughs at his blushing face. Cane slams the door closed with his face flushed and then Maya frowns laying back on her bed.

"If only I was normal..." Maya sighs and closes her eyes falling in a deep sleep... or some could say the last step towards meeting death- her last day was coming and she could feel it. But she prayed for a miracle still having hope.

~Over with Notru~

Notru's POV-

A few minutes after our fight we sit back to back from each other exhausted. Me not having wings like my other self, I try not to lean on him too much.

"Woah are you actually being considerate and not hurting me?~" My other self relaxes onto me, his tail laying right next to mine.

"Hey... Notru, have you ever thought of being 'human' again? Or thought of ruling hell?"My other self looks away from me.

My other self relaxes onto me, his tail laying right next to mine.

"Why do you ask?" I honestly don't care anymore but he makes things interesting. My other self is like the part of me that's accepted being a demon... while I just don't care.

"Just asking I guess..." He sits in-front of me and looks at me with a hint of sadness.

"Ruling hell... never really thought about it and becoming human again... it's not possible..."I shrug as I say the last three words and lay on my back. My other self being shorter than me, do to no ageing, lays beside me with his white demon wings spread wide open. He looks at me with a familiar cheshire smile- but this one was a friendly one.

"Sometimes... I wish I could be human ....or save our people from being... killed." I look at him dead serious and silently question his reasoning.

"Our people? Didn't they hurt us? Almost kill us? Save them? What are you thinking?"I sit criss crossed and he does the same but I then poke the demon mark on his forehead. "They did this to you... us... they made us full demon."

"You should have listened to the stupid lectures... they were the history of our people! They don't deserve anything of what's happening to them today! I should've known..." He scuffs and gets up to leave. "You don't care... but remember I still do... even though they..." He tears up and flies away into the unconscious part of my mind.

I look back down at the floor"Am I that... numb?"

As I hear banging on metal I open my eyes to see I'm in a cell and that a pissed off guard was trying to wake me up.

"Wake up freak! We have to take you to the interrogation room!" I stare at him as he takes off the cuffs on my hands and put on heavier one's on. Another guard walks in and escort me to the interrogation room.

As I'm sat at a wooden table another guard walks into the room wearing the royal guard armor like Yuna.

"So demon..."The guard slams his hands on the table breaking it,"Tell me the truth why did you attack!?"

I sigh and let my other self take control knowing that he's better at these 'social interactions'.

"Why didn't you kill me when you had the chance then~?"

No One's POV-

"I'm asking the questions here! Are you Notru?" He looks at Notru with anger.

"Nah- he's dead assassins came in and tortured him till death, lowly royal guard..." Notru lies with his cheshire smile, the guard scuffed knowing it was a lie.

"You are telling lies... tell the truth or suffer the consequences."The guard takes out his sword from it's sheath and points it at Notru's face.

"Fine I'll tell the truth- sike, I'm a demon you damn idiot! Like hell I would tell the truth!"Notru sticks out his tongue and the guard throws his sword at the wall as if it was a dagger.

"At least tell me where Aria is, if you know her... or tell me- where is the 3 demonic card keeper is located..."

"What the-"

The door then slams open and Notru is given back control.
