The Angel's Fire
Chapter 7
"Purge!? Where are you going?!" My mother yelled as I flew out the door.
"Purge?!" Kirai gasped and ran up to my side as I ran.
"What's going on?!"
"Something's wrong with Donna! I think she's hurt!" I said between gasps.
"And you know this how?!"
"She's my twin sister, we just have this connection!" I said.
"But I pray that this one isnt real!" I thought.
"How do you know where she is?!"
"I just have a feeling! I can't explain it!" But then I stopped.
I hit an intersection.
I didn't know which way to go.
I looked over at Kirai frantically, hoping she'd catch on and go one way while I went the other, but she was busy smelling the air.
"What?" I panted.
Her eyes widened in horror.
"I smell blood......" She whispered and looked down the right road.
My heart began beating hard as I sprinted down the road.
"Please be ok Donna!"
----------------------
Damu's heart began beating hard suddenly.
"What's going on?! I've killed many MANY people before........but......why do I have this feeling?!........"
Then he gasped as he heard someone coming up the road.
In an instant, He began running, dropping Donna's heart beside her.
"This has never happened before! I, the King of all Demons, the one demon who is allowed to kill humans for fun, feels.......guilty?...."
He thought in bewilderment as he raced back to his human home.
-----------------------
My heart stopped. It was ripped apart at the sight of Donna, lying on the rocky path, blood everywhere and an empty hole in her chest where her heart was, which was now lying beside her on the ground.
"Donna....." I said her name as if it was killing me.
I never thought much of my sister.....I thought she was a pain.....a burden to society.......but when I walked over to her body, felt her ice cold skin, and all the scarlet blood flowing like a river towards me.......
I forgot everything. Collapsing to my knees, I screamed.
Kirai arrived a second after I got there, and stood there silently.
In shock. With tears rolling dwon my face, I grabbed my sister's corpse and held her in my arms. I was quickly covered in her blood, but I didn't care......that was MY blood too.
"Kirai.........go get my parents........." I whispered.
She nodded without looking at me, and left.
As I sat there, holding the dead body of my twin, only one thought came to mind.
"Damu......" I gasped. Damu was the last person Donna was seen with! Anger and sadness instantly flared within me, bringing back the tears and I screamed once more in fury.
My parents arrived, devastation on their faces.
My mother sobbed, like I've never heard her cry before.
She collapsed to her knees and not even my father could comfort her.
---------------------------
---------------------------
"Purge......I'm sorry about your sister. It must be terrible." One of my classmates, Alec, told me as I entered the classroom.
"Thank you......" I whispered.
It's odd, no one ever spoke to me, but now since Donna's death, EVERYONE has been talking to me, and trying to make me feel better.
I then saw the group of girls Donna usually hung out with. They were usually all hyper, and flirty like most teenaged girls were, but today, they didn't say one word, and when they looked at me, all i could see in their eyes were tears.
I know what they were thinking.......
"Why wasn't Purge the one who died?! Why Donna?!"
It was so obvious it sickened me.
But what sickened me more, was seeing Damu in school that day.
My anger flared and all I could think about was strangling his neck.
but I knew the demonic powers were the ones that killed Donna, not Damu himself. Taking a deep breath, i walked away, avoiding him.
Even if it wasn't Damu who killed her, but his demonic powers, I still can't bear to look at him.
When i arrived home that day, My mother was in her room. She was crying all night after the funeral, and got no sleep.
I walked up to Angel.
"Angel.......Take me to the Underworld." I said. His blue eyes went wide with suspision.
"And why should I?"
"I need to save Damu."
He became even more confused.
"But he just murdered your sister!" he snapped.
"His demon side, yes.....but I believe the REAL Damu is a good guy!"
Angel was silent then, obviously deep in thought.
He sighed.
"Damu IS a good guy.....one of my best friends.......How do you evem think you could save him?! He's been saved too many times!" Angel gasped.
"I have a plan, but please Angel! Do this for me!" I asked.
He stared at me for a long moment.
"Fine. I will. But I am not your Guardian, so if you get in trouble, I can't help you."
