Chapter 14 - The other side of good

Chapter 14

I had never thought in depth what a blink was, according to the internet blinking is the closing and opening of the eyes, but now I no longer see it the same, every time I see Dayana's eyes in each blink I see something different, the mist that He always seems to be behind his gaze, the look of constant struggle after each blink, his gray eyes constantly being overshadowed by the black color of a demon, after days of study I was finally able to discover what had happened to him, there was a dark force within her that was destroying her from within with every passing minute.

I had more than a week down here with her, I did not dare to take my eye off her since every moment in which she managed to gain control of her own body was when I could have her back from me for a few minutes, in addition to possession From the darkness of her body I studied the strangest of the chains that surrounded her and that seemed to work on their own, the chains came from the very pit of hell, these were part of the same chains that kept Cerberus down there, I looked at my hands trying to Having a logical conclusion as to why I would have such power, something in me had changed, I fixed my gaze on Dayana's now still body.

— Something has changed in all of us — I let out saddened, I walked towards her and caressed the surface of her face now marked by fatigue and her endless struggle for herself, I went to the table that was in the center of the room and observed with annoyance at the sheet that days ago we had found inside the book, I made an annoyed face towards the sheet, I fixed my sight at some point on the wall as if the stain were the most interesting thing in this room, but I couldn't help it, they passed so many things at the same time that I feel that my brain cannot take any more, I have seen so much darkness all this time that I still look for a light in that darkness to illuminate my path — Light my way — I said in a low murmur — Light my way!  That's it — Exclaimed euphoric to finally find the connection, the book, the sheet and me, I spoke very loudly that made Dayana raise her head... Her eyes, making whatever is inside her move with force Her completely black eyes now made me go back months to where I had seen them, I put the sheet aside and I approached her tightly, taking her by the chin, seeing her eyes firmly fixed on mine. There I was again, I felt the fire run through my veins and invade my body, my hand on her skin seemed to burn, but whatever was there at that moment was not my Dayana — What is bothering you?  — I spoke slowly so close to his face that I could feel his breath in front of me, he tried to pull back but the strength of my grip prevented him from leaving, his eyes were not on me, they were on the sheet that still rested on the table — ¿You want that?  — I said with a mocking smile — That will never happen — I let out a little more of my fire which seemed to burn the thing that was in front of me letting out screams of pain, the chains seemed to burn as much as I did, I took the blade with my hands and I made it burn like the wall chains, the tint of them hitting the wall by the erratic movements of that thing were annoying, as if they knew what I wanted they adjusted it even more to the wall, each flame that touched the blade made it Its letters glowed strongly in gold that seemed to jump out of it, when at last the text burned completely, it remained floating in front of me and I with a static gaze in front of it, with the fire still burning inside of me I was able to read each one of those words.

"Eyes color fire and hair like blood born on the night of San Juan. Forged in the fire of the earth my greatest gift was born.

Before you now I leave this letter as the only memory that at some point you had a father and a home, it can be difficult to believe and assimilate what you are what we are, but it is important that you be aware that I do not leave you alone, the power that runs through your veins is the same that runs through mine.

I know you will have many more questions than I can answer now, but I want you to know who you are, who I am, you are Ariabel Metheniss Luzbel, the next ruler of my kingdom, the bringer of infernal fire, my daughter and capable of so many things.

My daughter, I'm sorry to have to leave you and see from afar how it is that you grow up alone, all I have done since always is to try to protect you, I did you with the hope of never being alone again and by my whim I have condemned you to the same , I hope that at some point you can forgive me and understand that everything I did was for your safety, this book was made by myself so that it would be the map to me, at some point it will show you the way once you are ready.

Being my daughter put everyone's sight on you, although I tried they found you, I couldn't go out and take care of you as I should so I sent you my first gift, a friend, Kay.

The power runs within you, never forget it.

He loves you, your father, Samael."

My fists were clenched trying to control the fire that threatened to come out of me, a name, a father, a home.  I had all that, I thought full of anger, if my name is Ariabel Metheniss Luzbel that means that "Samael" as he called himself is Luzbel... By God, thinking it over to say that is not very good, my father is Lucifer, the King of hell, I drop to the ground with force, my hands no longer burn and my anger was being replaced by an overwhelming sadness, the tears sting in my eyes, I do not care that the thing on the wall sees me cry, already He has done it for all these days.  I left my head between my knees hugged against my chest while I cried, at last I was someone, they did not leave me because they will not love me, they left me because it was what I loved the most, between hiccups I called Dad waiting for him to appear and he will take me in his arms and finally let me be a girl, I felt a hairy thing against my leg, looking down I saw Kay — Oh, Kay — I took her in my arms, pressing her against my chest — You are my best friend, I love you so much, I don't know what It is what I would do without you, what would have become of me without you by my side — At times like these were when I most regretted being so useless for not being able to return it to its original form, I cried harder at this thought — Forgive me for Please — I said between sobs, I lowered my face towards her when I felt her soft paws on my face, she began to wipe my own tears as if she knew what I meant.

— What a moving scene, they almost made me cry — I heard that horrible laugh again, I hated seeing Dayana face desecrated by those black eyes — Uh, don't look at me that way ¿is that how you look at the ones you love? — A pout that looked more like a grimace adorned his face, I left Kay beside me and got up, erased my tears in a blink and looked at him in the worst way — Gloom all you want, laugh as loudly as you can, but now I already know who you are — The smile hesitated a bit — I know who I am what I can do, I'll get you out of there at any moment, Abyssus — I put my hand on his chest feeling his heart racing a thousand a minute — Enjoy it while you can, because When you get out of there, I will destroy you, it is a promise — Even though his nerves were at their limit, he smiled even bigger.

— Destroy is a very harsh word for a princess — I tried to hide my surprise from him but it was useless — Oh girl ¿did you think I was not aware of who you were?  We all know ¿did you ever think why my lady was so obsessed with killing a simple useless girl like you?  — A loud laugh came out of him — ¡You're a fool!  Daddy is not going to come to save you, she will never leave him, you may be my princess and future queen, but she is my lady and you are nothing more than daddy's girl — I released a strong blow to her face without being able to bear or one more minute none of his words, I had no effect on him so I just caused him to laugh louder when he saw how he affected me. I headed out of the basement with force away from the sound of her uproarious laughter — I will never leave you alone, princess. I am the worst thing you could have come across!  Know well the name of the one who will ruin your life, I am Abyssus, never forget it!  — I was already far from the basement separated by a thick door that prevented me from hearing the end of her screams — I won't let you do it — She said in a low voice.
