"How does it feel? are all of you satisfied with pulling tricks on me?"

Amanda snickered, giggling like a maniac.

The twins didn't respond.

"When I tell your father that you both harmed me because I'm trying to make you two clean up your things, I wonder how he'll react?"

Sehan and Leorys' eyes are turning red. Watery, filled with resentment.

"Stop it,"

"!"

The three of them turned around and noticed me. Sehan and Leorys looked surprised.

"E-Ezra," Leorys stuttered.

"Oh! My beloved nephew," Amanda chirped. She walked over to me and pointed at her bleeding fingers. "Look at what your brothers did to me, don't you think it's outrageous?" She faked sobbing and wiped the blood to her napkin.

"Stop it, you dirty witch,"

"!" Amanda widened her eyes in shock.

"No, Ezra!" Sehan tried to stop me.

Provoking this witch is the same as digging a bigger grave for all of us.

But I don't care anymore. She can't treat my brothers like this.

She can't do this to my family.

"Ezra, my lovely. You don't like me?" Amanda sobbed.

"... Rot in hell,"

Sehan and Leorys widened their eyes in shock. Their little brother just cursed out a woman. They must have curious where I heard that from.

Don't worry, brothers; I'm still your innocent baby brother.

"... I see," Amanda mumbled. She walked over to me, then lift her hand in the air.

"No!" Sehan and Leorys shouted. They grabbed their swords in unison and aimed it to Amanda. Sehan growl under his breath. "Don't you dare touch him!"

Amanda didn't listen to them. She started to swing her hand toward me.

I stood in my ground, not looking away from her.

I'm not going to let her touch me.

"Ah!"

Before her hand reach me, she suddenly fell on the ground. As if something heavy is pushing her to the floor.

"!"

Sehan and Leorys are bewildered. And I was more surprised because of what I was seeing in front of me. A monster. No, this must be a demon. A demon that skin resembled charcoal, Eyes are bright red mixed with orange, and all his white teeth are fangs. Both hands resembled human's, but are bigger along with sharp nails; no, claws. This demon pushed Amanda down with one hand behind her neck.

My whole body suddenly felt like it was on fire. I widened my eyes.

I saw Sehan and Leorys looked at me as if I grew two heads.

Instinctively, I glanced to the left side of the room and saw a mirror hanging on the wall.

My eyes, they're all white. My usual red ruby eyes turned white like skeletons. Veins are appearing on my neck and my arms. Suddenly, black steam is starting to coming out of my body. It's faint but visible.

"N-No, don't hurt me!"

Amanda's shriek pulled me out of my thoughts.

The steam disappeared, the veins as well. And the demon, it went.

Amanda took a sharp breath. Her body is trembling, and she quickly got up from the floor. She looked at me with terror, like she's looking at death.

"... M-Monster, a monster!"

She screamed and ran past me.

I was shocked myself.

What just happened to me.

My body cools down, and I put my hand on my chest. My heart is beating rapidly.

What was that all about?
