Chapter 2

Damn Miss liliths styles are hellish. Miss lilith trained me in hand to hand techniques well in my incomplete devil state. Today it was my turn to get some groceries for our bunker of sorts. I would head to the nearby village for stuff as a black sword caught my attention sitting in a discount bin. It had a curved blade and was blackish blue in colour.

I would pick it up looking at the store clerk. How much for the ? I asked. The store clerk would just keep silent. As if I didn't exist a sign on the wall read out bargain bin weapons are free and may or may not lead to death. I would take the blade back with me to the bunker.

As I picked up the blade. A voice echoed in the back of my head as I turned around to check. There was nothing I chalked it up to just hearing things because of my insomnia. I headed back to base with the blade and the groceries. Later that day I miss Lilith and Kira and I say for supper as. I seemed to become distant and lost in my thoughts

"Aiden …..Aiden earth to Aiden " I would instantly snap back as I looked at Kira. You seen distant these few days are you ok she asked as her eyes flashed red. For a split second. Yeah I'm just trying to fall asleep…. So ya …. I'm still an insomnia for 6 months now.

Supper would continue as I lost touch with reality. Soon heading up to my room. I would get into bed and suddenly there was that voice again. My eyes shot open as I searched the room from head to toe. "Linking to the subject 12 vessel no.2 ...in…3 ... .2…1."

Suddenly I would feel a pair of fangs attached to my hand as I blacked out on my bed. The last words I heard were merging successfully as I lost consciousness. When I woke up the next day I was in a pool of blood as I panicked rushing to clean it up. My memory became hazy as I stared around only to come back to no blood pool.

I rubbed my eye and as my hand got closer. Maybe my mind was playing a trick I thought to myself. As I sat on my bed. My eyes suddenly when I looked at my wrist there was a mark all the way to the right side of my eye. I rushed to a nearby mirror as I panicked. My shouts of fear were heard as Miss Lillth rushed in. I was in a pool of fear and tears.

She embraced me as she tried to calm me down telling me there's no mark but every time I looked in the mirror there it was. The voice echoed again as Lillth held Me; she didn't seem to hear it at all. "The host is in an agitated state of panic and sleep." in a more soft tone the voice echoed its ok… stay calm. Miss Lilith would embrace me as I seemed to be better and no more panicking as she whispered in my ear "shhh ... .it's OK ... .stay calm my dear."

After this event I was constantly looking over my shoulder every time I heard that voice. I managed to realise it came from the sword. I would find myself in a state of insomnia ridden worry. As I believed it was my sleepless night making voices appear. The next day in the mirror marks were still there no matter how many times I asked Kira or Miss Lilith they all said there aren't any. This time the voice spoke again as the sword would materialise out of the blue.

"wake up …it echoed as my mind was filled with static all day long. Few hours would go by as I was asked to make drinks for every one in my sleepless state. I poured cocoa which demons could not have in Miss Lilith's cup instead of mine. When I realised it wa stood late as she sipped the drink I hit the cup away in shock and panic

Only for tea to spill out. "Aiden…what's wrong she yelled as she gritted her teeth. Ii..idk i'm sorry i thought i gave you my hot cocoa drink by accident im sorry i replied." suddenly the voice echoed again, eye scan complete…. Approval denied. I looked around as the voice rang in my head like radio static again.

"I'm sorry, I'll head back away to get you more tea…." I said picking up the glass and saucer. In the kitchen the voice spoke again. You are sleeping and wake up…. I would try to reply and day shut up just shut up. My body would become stiff and I would hear the voice again and look around thiet is no sharp objects to harm yourself. You are becoming more powerful, something only dreamers desire.

My body would jolt forward as I delivered the tea heading back to my room. I would lock my door as I spoke in a scared panicky tone. Who are you? The voice replied who I am right now is not a concern, your real body is being dried up like a prune all decrypted and broken in reality. Now I need you to trust me ok I'll keep you alive but you need to kill yourself to wake up.

I stumbled back in shock, my chest clenching in fear as my arm seemingly against my will shot up as the blade materialised once again.it cane so close to my neck as I fought and fought yo hold myself back. To no avail as the voiced became angry and my whole body was drained of energy as the blade slashed through my neck. I felt shock and pain. Suddenly I shot up in a dark room, my eyes were bloodshot red. As I reached to feel my neck.
