Chapter 12 - CHAPTER 12 WHO BROKE THE LAW?

*Belial still standing in the hallway waiting for Layla who is still giving him the silent treatment*

BELIAL: Is this how you humans behave? What do you call this behavior? You are a Marchosias but you…

*Layla cutting in*

LAYLA: But I what? Huh!! I thought you're here to apologize, you should go home, I still have three hours before I go home and you being here is really choking up the air for me.

BELIAL: I am not leaving.

LAYLA: FINE! But you just stay away for me.

BELIAL: No! Layla no!! stop telling me what to do.

LAYLA: What do you mean? Telling you what to do??? I am just trying to keep you safe, look around Belial, this isn't hell.

BELIAL: I don't need your protection; I just need you as a KEY! Not a protector, what do you think you're protecting me from? You, Layla who couldn't stand up for herself protect me? I am Be…

*Layla cutting in*

LAYLA: For a demon, you sure act like a snotty human brat who keeps yelling "I am Belial, I am Belial" every chance he gets, I know you are Belial, but this isn't hell, you don't have to be a mean, heartless, demon.

BELIAL: Layla don't walk away from me, what do you want me to do?

*Belial spots Pablo, smiling leaving Layla who is still talking*

LAYLA: How about you APOLOGIZE!!!! Then I will consider not walking away from you, you think you're all this and that because you've got this dashing body and great face, you get to yell "I am Belial", well I am Layla!!! Hey why are you so qui…

*she turns around and he is gone*

******************************************

BELIAL: Hello *smirking and waving to Pablo* have you been avoiding me?

PABLO: *taking huge gulp of saliva* Why would I avoid you? You don't scare me and I am not afraid of you.

BELIAL: *laughter*that's the problem with you humans, so good at lying, that's why hell is getting choked up. If you are not avoiding me, answer the question.

PABLO: * with a straight face* What do you mean? I hang around Layla all the time, it proves that I will smell just like her.

BELIAL: tsk, tsk, tsk, I see today you are not stuttering *chuckles* the thing is you can say it with a straight face but your whole body reeks of lies and fear. I just want you to tell me, I know I am never wrong.

PABLO: *stuttering* what are you talking about? Tell you what?

BELIAL: You talk about trust; those words aren't meant for your lips to say. You are a wolf Pablo.

*Pablo stunned, stood staring at Belial*

PABLO: *laughs maniacally* you have no proof.

BELIAL: Remember when you said you don't fear me? Lying only makes it worse*draws closer to him holding him by the collar* you should fear me, it'll keep you alive.

*Belial let's go of Pablo and walks away*

PABLO: Wait! Don't tell Layla about it, please.

BELIAL: Anything regarding you two is not my business, all I need is to go home, I just wonder how a wolf was under her nose and she didn't realize, how dumb could she be?, I bet she's still talking to her…

*Layla cuts in*

LAYLA: *in anger she raises her voice* There you are, I wasn't done talking, what is wrong with you?

BELIAL: *scoffs* I was done listening.

LAYLA: How could you leave in the middle of our conversation?

BELIAL: You were the one walking away, and I saw Pablo and decided to walk to him, why are you raising your voice? People will really think you are crazy.

LAYLA: Pablo, let's go, Belial is really getting on my nerves, just say you are sorry and you did wrong.

BELIAL: * howling laughter* Me?! Belial, apologize to a wolf who doesn't know her full potential, I am never wrong , I would do no such thing, I am B…

*Layla cuts in walking away from Belial*

LAYLA: An apology is all I want from you, if you can't do that, then you should find another way home, I won't be bothered about you starting now.

*Pablo notices the flickering lights, wind howling, chills suddenly rolling down the spin of Belial, Belial losing all form of composure*

PABLO: Layla! *Layla ignoring* Layla!! Something is wrong, something is very wrong, don't you feel it?

LAYLA: No, I don't feel anything.

PABLO: The lights, the wind, the real cold air of death, you really don't feel any…

* suddenly a loud THUMP! He passes out, the students' starts taking pictures, Headlines; "Handsome hunk faints after talking with loser Layla"*

PABLO: Belial!

LAYLA: Ha, Ha, Ha, very funny, falling on the ground, real mature, I mean how stupid do you think I am? Belial get up, you're embarrassing yourself.

*few minutes staring at Belial, Layla starts panicking*

Okay, Belial you've made your point, come on stand up *rushing to him realizing he was dead cold* Shit, ice cold again, what's going on *Picking him up and rushing to the school clinic* Why are you so heavy like death?

PABLO: Layla how do you know Death's weight???

LAYLA: ugh! Not now.

NURSE'S OFFICE;

NURSE: What happened? *rushing and putting him on drip* Does he have a pulse?

LAYLA: I don't know, we were talking and suddenly he fell to the ground; no pulse, wait don't tou…

*Nurse cutting in*

NURSE: What?! Wait, let connect the oxygen mask and … * shouting as she touches Belial' face* my goodness, how is it so hot? Is that even possible? What is he? A volcano?

LAYLA: *irked by the dumb questions of the nurse* No, he is not conscious.

*Belial regains consciousness, cuts in*

BELIAL: Someone broke the rule *ominous soundtrack, he gets up, removes the drip and walks out*

NURSE: Didn't you say that he had no pulse?

LAYLA:*tittering* I wouldn't know, I am not a nurse, must have got it wrong.

*Layla rushing to meet Belial*

LAYLA: Wait, Belial, where are you going? *grabbing him by the hand, he turns to her *

BELIAL: * faint voice* Someone! Broke! The law!!!

* he passes out again in her arms *

*Ominous sound track. lightening ad heavy rain storm*

JOHN: *maniacal laughter* I am BACK!
