(CHAPTER 15) A SERIOUS CONFESSION

A few minutes went by and the two of them had calmed down and started to catch up on what was going on. "So what exactly happened to you when we were attacked by the Iratheons." Riyu asked Neon looking for answers. Right then Open Wound started to speak. "You can tell him everything we know, I know now that we can trust him as he really cares for you." "Yeah, I think so too." Neon responded taking a deep breath hoping that whatever he was about to say to Riyu, didn't make their relationship change. "Okay so what I'm about to tell you is hard to believe and it's a long story so bare with me. It's okay if you don't believe me though." Neon said looking a bit nervous. "No its fine, I'll believe you" He responded seriously. Neon then began to speak and fill Riyu in about what's been happening to him. "So ever since I was born I had a demon living inside me laying dormant for a very long time because he saved my life from sudden death when I was a baby and because of this, it depleted a lot of his energy and as a result, he layed dormant till he was strong enough to come out once more, this demons name is called Open Wound and he is like the Iratheons that we fought." Neon then started to explain Open Wounds background and why he inhabited Neons body which was because of his abnormality and the fact that he had no ability. He then started to explain about the incident with the Iratheons, specifically what happened to him. "It was actually supposed to be a lot longer till Open Wound could come out of his sleeping shell, but because of Pains death, it struck me a lot mentally, this weakened the barrier between me and him and my guard was down. He took advantage of this and took control of my body to take himself out of his own shell that he was in and to unlock my demon abilities. Although I was a demon all a long, I couldn't access any of my special powers because Open Wound was my source of power and without him cooperating, I couldnt unlock them. So what you saw me do back there against the Iratheons was not me, it was him. But now that he's unlocked them, with some practice and experience, I can do what he did...." "There's no chance of that happening any time soon kid." Said Open Wound smirking cutting Neon off. "The moves I was pulling back there could only be done with intense training and mastery and the training I do is nothing compared to you pipsqueaks, and besides, those wern't basic moves but I'm not even sure that you can even do basic manovers, let alone what I was doing, if you want to become strong like me, you gotta have grit, determination and the willpower to get through the intense training methods and battles. Only then will you unlock your true potential and be able to tolerate the immeasurable power thats coursing through your body." He said finishing of his sentence making Neon think a little. "Yes your right and I know I have along way to go but no matter what happens, I'll get stronger and nothing will bring me down from getting to the top." Neon Shouted out loud. "I'm guessing that was him that you were speaking to just now." Riyu said snapping Neon out of his motivational feeling. Neon looked at him surprised as he didn't think he would believe him. "Yes that was him I was speaking to but what you just said means that you actually beli..." "Yes I believe you" Riyu said without a second thought smiling. "And plus there's no way that the one who got rid of all the Iratheons was you" He said laughing as Neon nudged him. "Oh I wanna know another thing that happened a while ago" Riyu said as he began to ask Neon a question. "I heard Mrs Lucy talk about having some sort of questioning with you. Then I heard that something went wrong, what happened?" Riyu asked. Neon had forgotten all about what happened when he was being questioned, he told Riyu about what happened as well as him having a killer thats after him, and with this, he also told him the plan they where going to carry out. Riyu instantly jumped from where he was, stunned on what he just heard. "What! someone's trying to kill you, we need to report this right away!" He said in a panicking state. "No!" Neon snapped grabbing Riyu's attention. "We can't tell any other person, if we do things will get out of our control and who knows what will happen after that." "Yes but isn't it best for the authorities to handle this kind of situation." "No, otherwise my secret about being a demon might leak out to the public or they at least will have some sort of suspicions about me and keep me on high alert. Right now we need to lay low and defuse the situation ourselves. And besides, whoever tried to kill us had a hunch of us being a demon so they might have done what they did because of what they already know about me, so I don't blame them for trying to get rid of me. But this gives me an idea that we can come to a solution by talking things out and persuade them that I'm not like the Iratheons." Neon said hoping that he can solve this case without having to fight as it could be very dangerous for him because of the radiation they possess. "Okay, maybe its best if we solve this by ourselves, I mean I guess we can't afford telling the authorities as something could happen that make things real bad." Riyu said. Neon sighed in relief as he persuaded Riyu that they could handle it themselves. Anyways, it was too dangerous to tell the staff that there is a killer on the loose trying to get rid of Neon. I mean, Neon's secret about him being a demon could be leaked to the public eventually reaching the government who will not handle the information very well.

"So the suspects are Karla and Keith and all we have to do is follow the plan and it should give us an idea on whose the killer right." Riyu said looking at Neon who was ready to execute the plan. "Yes, we should know who the killer is as they would follow me and the person who isn't wouldn't as there would be no reason or interest for them to go to a restricted area.

Half of the day was now remaining and this was the perfect time for the plan to be set in motion. "Alright, let's go find my killer" Neon declared as he smacked his fists together.....
