Chereads / Can I Be Him? / Chapter 7 - Villain.

Chapter 7 - Villain.

🌱🌱🌱

It's already dark outside, the stars had appeared in the black night sky, accompanying the moon. Someone is walking back home, his blue eyes shining in the dark like cat eyes, his black hair is almost as dark as the night sky, and there is some blood on his knuckles and some cuts on his arm. He walked down the path coldly, ignoring the bleeding people and the mess he had made behind him.

But then suddenly something caught its attention, a beam green of light appeared and shot from the sky. His pupils turn to slits, and wings are starting to appear behind his back before he takes off and flies into the darkness of the night.

The next morning, Lea is still trying to remove the necklace she found.

"WHY WON'T YOU COME OFF!!" Lea is getting annoyed now and is doing everything to remove the necklace, from biting it and trying to cut it with scissors. Still, nothing worked.

Lea sighed sadly, looks like she's stuck with this necklace for now, maybe she'll find a way to remove it after school, she thought. Now, all she can do is just hide it so that no one will realize it. She hides the necklace under the hoodies she wears and wishes no one would realize it.

Lea grabs her bag and runs downstairs for breakfast, surprisingly, she finds Kyle downstairs, eating his breakfast. Normally Kyle would go to school early, cause he's a good boy. 

"Why is Kyle still here?" Lea asked.

"I don't know, Mom said I need to wait for you" Kyle shrugs, he looks a little tired but still as cheerful as always, I wonder what happened to him? But Lea doesn't seem to pay much attention. Then her mom answered:

"Yes, from now on you need to wait for your sister and both of you need to leave together," their Mom said as she served breakfast. "There are some rumors around the neighborhood at the moment, I know the rumors said that it only happens at night but who knows that they attack during the day too?!" their Mom then adds.

There are rumors around the neighborhood at the moment, that some people who went out at night have gone missing and most of them are found covered in blood or dead. According to the victims in the hospital, the monster behind all of this is a creature that looks like a human and a bunch of different animals mashed up together. Lea heard the rumor from Katty last night -- when Katty texted her about it.

Well, it's understandable why Mom is worried, it is scary in fact. Lea listens to their mom warning them to go home early and always to stick together while eating her breakfast. While eating breakfast, she realizes something about Kyle. Kyle is surrounded by a weird glowing green aura that's very visible, Lea looks at her mom and realizes that her mom also has the same glowing stuff surrounding her but not as visible as Kyle's. Kyle realized that her sister was staring at her so he smirked a little and said:

"Why are you staring at me? Is it because I'm handsome?" Kyle said confidently and her sister just rolled her eyes, but Lea still can't ignore the glowing green aura around Kyle.

Lea then decided to just ignore it, then they walked to school together. When they arrived at school Lea realized that everyone had the same green aura surrounding them but none of them were as visible as Kyle's, at least until she met Katty. Katty had the same aura that surrounded Kyle, it's weird, but Abby doesn't. But then when class started, she realized that Kai and Eric also had the same aura that surrounded Kyle and Katty, and at the cafeteria when Kyle went to hang out with his new buddies, Inx also had the same aura.

This makes Lea even more confused, everyone had a faint green aura surrounding them but why are there certain people who had thicker aura's than the others? It's weird, but it gets weirder when Lea sees Rexy, it's not that Rexy bullied anyone today -- which is a good thing-- but Rexy's aura is different than the others. His aura is not colored green, it's... black, it's now very visible and his aura is very faint but Lea could see clearly that Rexy's aura is black.

Lea is so distracted by the weird smoky-like aura around everyone today, which almost makes Lea forget about the cat pendant that's still around her neck. Is the pendant the reason she's been seeing stuff surrounding everyone today? Lea had more questions than ever now. Lea can't even focus on today's lesson and she has a test next week which is a big problem. Lea walked home tiredly, Kyle had a club today so Lea needed to walk back home alone -- even tho her mother had told them to go home together-- but it's not like anything bad could happen, right?

But as Lea's just walking home, it's getting dark, there's no one around her and she's alone, she's getting a little scared which makes her walk faster when suddenly she hears something. She stops to listen, but there is no one there and when Lea thinks she's safe, suddenly a knife flies just right beside her face, making a little cut on his cheek. Lea froze as she saw a creature with wings landing in front of her with its cold red eyes staring right at her soul.

She could see it, the creature looked like a normal human being aside from its colored black and white wings and its black tail that looked like a long iguana(?) tail. But as the creature gets closer and closer, Lea starts to realize that the creature's pupils had turned to slits, and he had a tongue that looks like a snake tongue.

Lea just froze on the spot, not knowing what to do. The creature stopped on his track and his gaze switched to the spot where Lea's cat pendant was hidden, it smirked and was about to attack Lea. When a bullet suddenly shoots between them, stopping the creature as it tries to find the person who's stopping him. That's when the creature falls into the trap.

The creature is surprised as some nets suddenly appear around him, catching him. The creature tries to struggle free, it bites the nets and tries to escape, Lea knows that the nets won't last long and that it's only a matter of time before she's doomed. That's when suddenly some smoke bombs are thrown at the creature, Lea can hear the creature growl that sounds like a squeaky door as the smoke starts to eat the creature and Lea. That's when Lea felt something grabbing the back of its collar, dragging her away when the smoke disappeared, the creature who was standing on both of its hands and feet started to look around his surroundings only to realize that Lea was gone.
