Chapter 34 Meeting the Dark Lord

Back at school, the day went better than I had expected. Jiang and his friends were not around, and the day felt slow; Mia sat with me throughout all my classes, and Maka sat with Lei, and as it appeared they were getting closer, she laughed more and seemed happy.

I was not sure how I felt about all this, I was happy, but I questioned if I liked her; I mean, Mia was incredible, and she had a great personality, but she had so much baggage with finding out she was taken from the home.

And to her, "to us," it felt like Ling had sacrificed her. We never spoke much of it.

Mia never paid much attention to me as she did in the beginning. The day progressed, and the school bell rang while walking in the hallway with Mia by my side; I was surprised to bump into Ling, "Hey, the pack thought it would be great if we could go out to the beach and try to forget about everything.

I looked at Mia, "how do you feel about this?"

She nodded, not making eye contact with Ling; Ling had picked up something was wrong, "Mia, are you okay?"

Mia looked at him, and I could tell she tried hard not to speak her mind, im fine, she answered, just not feeling well.

Ling looked concerned; I couldn't tell if he cared because, at this point, I was more concerned about Mia; it was unlike her to be like this; even though I had not known her that long I had known her long enough to say when she was not okay.

"Okay, we will see you guys there."

After Ling had left, I looked over at Mia, "what's bothering you? Is it because of Ling?"

She faintly smiled and shook her head, "it's just with everything happening, the feeling is kind of overwhelming."

I could relate to her, alot has happened, and we were in a situation we couldn't quickly get out of, from an ordinary bullied school kid to this overnight; I would never have imagined that I would be like Batman or superman or even spiderman someday.

We arrived home, and I undressed, staring into the mirror; I had grown a beard and massacre; I'd dyed my body to look like Edward in the twilight just as spending, my long black hair I had combed to the back, the mark on my neck grew more extensive, it was like a tattoo at first glance, I removed the stones and placed it down by the mirror-Yellow is life red is danger, blue is protection, green is healing, and orange is a newborn when this does out a new evil is present the bloody moon. That's why I could tell there was a newborn evil amongst us; the stone turns black and changes back after a few hours-

My glasses you no longer needed; I could see better without them. I got dressed, and Mia walked over to the room with Maka and Lei, along with Jia.

It turns out I was the last to be ready, we headed downstairs, and the doorbell rang; I was glad I was not the only man in the house anymore; Leo had been spending more time here, and it did seem as if Jia has grown attached to Lei, she laughed more when he was here.

"Are you expecting anyone?" I looked at Lei; no, I am not.

I walked down the staircase and peak through the door hole.

Men dressed in black were outside the door; I opened the door, and three guys stepped inside; people have a habit of just stepping into the house without introducing themselves, and Jia transformed into an adult before they could see her.

The men looked around, "excuse me, can I help you."

The guy in the front flipped over his wallet, showing a badge.

He removed his shades and looked around the house, then looked at me, " I am detective Bolin; these are my colleagues." He removed a notebook from his pocket and a silver ball pen.

"Do you have a Maria staying here?" He looked at Maka.

"No, we don't; as he wrote down, his eye caught a glimpse of the side of my neck."

The red stone on my neck lit up, and the orange light became dim and flickered. Jia had noticed, and so did the detective, whose eyes widened. His hand shook lightly as his mind went blank. All words he wrote were dangerous.

I could see through the book what he wrote down; one of these three men is reborn.

He stepped back on the step exiting the house when his eye caught the painting below the staircase. He looked over at Mia as if he could tell she was the one taken by the pack of wolves; he was prepared for the questioning, but when realizing the house he had stepped into was unlike anything he had expected, he stepped backward.

He nearly tripped as he stepped backward, and I noticed darkness in his eyes; I could see through him.

What's that smoke smell said Jia; I confidently stepped forward, staring detective Bolin in the eyes. Something burning, maybe; I lit my eyes to growl red where he had only noticed; I sensed his presence being dark and came here to kill Maria; his through were as seethrough as brought daylight.

He turned around, dropped to his knees, fell flat on his stomach, and started shaking. I started, and I stared as I watched him helplessly shaking on the ground; I inflicted pain in him, a pain he could not control; he had started to choke and cough out blood; Jia touched my arm and shook her head as if she could read my mind, I wanted this asshole dead.

I breathed in, narrowed my eyes drew my eyebrows closer, and tied visible chains around him, squeezing him more and more. His pain gave me an adrenaline rush; the other two men dragged him to

the car and raced off.

Shall we go? I looked around, grinning.

"What just happened?" Said Maka

I will explain later; let's get going

Detective Bolin sat up, "what the hell was that? Who is this kid?"

The guy in the passenger seat replied, "I don't know, boss, but I felt paralyzed. I couldn't move to help you u, too he let go of you." the passenger's nose started bleeding. "The same here, the boss; I want to get as far away from that place as possible."

Detective Bolin reached into his pocket to remove the notebook, which was not there; he searched for the pen he had gotten from his grandfather. It was also missing, "dammit, he knew how precious that pen is to me."

"I felt something dark, something powerful in that kid; Maria must be dead; I mean, I would be dead living in that house, that girl on the right wearing black. Do any of you guys know her?"

"No boss has never seen her in my life, but she looks like she could be related to him."

"Let's go to the underworld. Take a right on this road; I must talk with the dark lord."

Sir, we cannot see the dark lord without an invitation."

"If he knows it's me, he will make an exception."

The driver and the passenger glanced at each other.

They drove through a tunnel, which led to undertake underground; it was pitch dark driving through the mount, but after driving for miles in a dark underground tunnel, they reached a tunnel called the devil's peak, which split into a crossway; they had then reached a sign which showed turn right, when following the sign they have reached a blocking, the car couldn't go beyond that point. To their left side was a bridge that was 20 meters Long; beneath that bridge, eight hundred meters high in the air was fire water, but not any water. It was poisoned water. It had a white foam to it like a layer of sponge; above that layer was dead fish glowed, and rumors circled that the water was eight thousand feet deep.

And beneath that surface were human remains, and on the other end of the bridge was music demonic music; there was a mist, and smoke, coming out of a hole which they had to enter through; if they were trapped in the wrong spot, they would fall right down into that water, to cross over to the dark lord, they had to know the code that code could only be punched in twice should it be incorrect, they would fall to lava which was boiling that if they made it across those fragile colorful tiles which had to be trapped on in the correct sequence.

After unlocking the code, they would face two big men holding axes and wearing the wooden masks of snakes by these guards. They would be analyzed for nervousness. Any nervousness would trigger suspicion of a conspiracy, and the guards would drop you down into a dungeon surrounded by snakes; if the snakes bit you, they believed you were a threat to the dark lord.
