Chereads / Rogue Demonn / Chapter 2 - Fear

Chapter 2 - Fear

Put on your clothes" she continued as she stood there still holding the door open.

Mario got up from his bed grumbling and muttering few words. As he got dressed, his eyes suddenly began to glow, they were no longer blue but red.

"Happy now?" He said after he was done dressing up. As he looked over to his mother, she immediately noticed the changes in his eyes.

Amy walked over to him slowly and grabbed his face looking into his eyes.

"What's wrong mom?" He said confused.

"Your eyes are red....do you feel okay?" She asked.

Mario just nodded his head and a few minutes later his eyes were blue again.

"Go say hi to your aunt" Amy started.

"...she's downstairs".

Mario majestically walked down the stairs and saw his aunt Annabelle sitting on a brown colored chair and she was mixing some kind of elixir.

"What's that for?" He asked as he still strolled down the stairs.

Annabelle turned around to see that it was Mario and quickly got up from her chair to hug him.

"Oh look at how you've grown...." she said placing both her hands on his shoulder and inspecting him from head to toe.

".....you're a man now" she continued.

Mario just smiled and blushed a little then repeated his question.

"So....tell me.... what is that for?"

"Well...its a healing potion..." Annabelle started.

"....but I'm trying to see if i can improve its function to at least 99%" she concluded.

Suddenly, there were noises coming from up the stairs and a shattering sound followed.

"Mom?" Mario turned around looking up the stairs and was about to ascend them when the windows to the living room shattered.

Mario held Annabelle close trying his possible best to see how he could protect her.

The demons who had broken into their house had long spears and some had poisonous arrows pointed at them.

They all stood still in silence when the front door began to creak open.

It was the demon general Drey.

His aura dominated the whole room and you could feel the dark smoke rising out of his body.

Every step he took made the whole area shake. People who were outside ran in fear looking for a place to hide. Everyone in the demon world feared the Demon Lord Drey. He was heartless and emotionless and he was one of the few who planned to rule over both the Demon world and that of the humans.

Drey stood at the entrance of the house scanning every single thing in it. As his eyes met with Mario's, he began to move. Each step shattered the floor creating a hole in it.

He signaled his minions to grab a hold of Annabelle taking her away from Mario's hold. After it had been done, Drey placed his hand on his chin directing it in whatever position he saw fit.

"So, this is the boy" he said with an intimidating voice that was deep.

"And the mother?" He asked

"She's been captured sir" one of his men answered.

"Good, bring her down".

As Amy was being brought down, Mario began to struggle in an attempt to go to his mother.

"Don't worry son.... this will all be over" She said with a little smile on her face.

Annabelle got on her knees and began to plead.

"My lord, i have done as you've asked...please spare me".

Drey walked over to her and squatted leveling their line of sight and grabbed her by the neck.

"Spare you?" He began

"I can't spare you....and do you know why?" He asked as Annabelle was now levitating in the air trying hard to breathe.

"....because you never betray family...rather you die".

As Drey finished speaking, his eyes went completely black and he snapped her neck. He drew out her soul and devoured it in him.

Mario stood still in shock, while Amy turned to look away.

Suddenly, the whole house began to vibrate. Drey stood up slowly and turned around to see that Mario's eyes had turned red and had tattoo markings on his body.

He remained calm and started laughing.

"There's nothing you can do boy!" Drey said exclaiming. As he finished his statement, the guards who had been holding them all got vaporized. A smoke similar to that of Drey began to come out of his body too and his hair slowly turned white.

"What?!" Drey said surprised unsure of what was going on.

He was in awe when in a blink of an eye Mario appeared right in front of him and punched him so hard that he flew out of the house shattering the roof.

Mario turned around looking at his mom who was also shocked at what she had just seen her son do.

As Drey was punched into the sky he tried stopping his motion and levitated in the air.

Mario looked up at the direction which Drey was floating and his own feet too began to slowly leave the surface if the ground.

"What are you?!" Drey exclaimed from afar now feeling scared but Mario didn't answer, it felt like he was being controlled by something else.

After hesitating for a little while, Drey suddenly summoned a little courage and charged at Mario spearing him into the city. The impact had destroyed multiple building and a lot of injured citizens of the demon world.

Amy ran out of the house after she had gotten a hold of herself and helped the people around her who were either trapped by rubbles or were injured.

Drey kept punching repeatedly at Mario but he wasn't grazed, it was like the black smoke was preventing him from being touched. As he kept trying to make it through, Mario grabbed him by the neck and repeatedly punched him in the face, he flew them both towards the sky and ripped out Drey's left arm and flung him to the ground.

The whole area was covered in dust and Amy was scared that it might have been her son who was thrown to the ground.

She began to walk closer to the scene as carefully. As the dust cleared, the people who resided in that area including Amy could not believe their eyes.

The Demon lord Drey had just been taken down by a young man and his arm was ripped off.

Amy looked up and Mario was slowly coming toward the ground. He looked so ready to kill Drey. Instantly knowing what her son was planning to do, Amy ran as fast as she could to stop him.

But before she could reach, she was already beaten to the chase.

An army of demons were flying in the sky coming towards the commotion.

Mario looked into his mothers eyes and she could see little tear drops.

"Mario" Amy said in a hushed tone and tears began to roll down her eyes.

Instantly, he vanished.

"Mario!!!" Amy screamed.
