Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 15

Chapter 15

I felt something drag me from inside the portal. I was left stranded in the middle of space. Millions of realities around me converging into one single nebula.

I've heard stories about this place. The Pillars of Creation people called it… We've only seen pictures from telescopes millions of lightyears away. No one could have imagined how they actually looked as you stood in front of them. Energy was leaving the towers creating new stars and all those sounds… Sound isn't supposed to travel in space but I could hear… I could hear everything. Lives ending and starting anew, voices laughing, crying and screaming…

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Everything was turning dark...

20 minutes - earlier Azrael watching Aiden from a hidden seclude

Azrael's POV :

"That hurt quite a lot actually" I said rubbing my cheek. "That's what a slap is supposed to do" she replied angry. "You still don't understand why I sent him there" I continued. "YOU Fool, ugh. . . Look Azrael, you need to bring him back, he does need to regain his powers but sending him to that timeline wasn't the way" she said trying her hardest not to hit me again. "He can do this, trust me..." I exclaimed. "Are you damn serious?! We've been watching him running away from a menace that is currently removing A PERSON'S LIMBS ONE BY ONE" she said screaming. "Well according to Ceryx that man was a piece of shit" I exclaimed still looking at the blazing globe. My bicep suddenly started burning, "OUCH" I said. Damn, that woman has a heavy hand.

"And what is 'here' I said interrupting him. "Basically I caught your soul while it was going down swinging after that fugly piece of work killed you and I put you in that little doll house, I control the illusions and I make you think whatever I want you to... Or at least that's how it works with normal targets." he explained. "Wait... So I'm dead?" I asked surprised. "No, not yet at least, the powerful warlock that gave me this 'doll house' didn't want you to die... They just wanted me to keep you occupied... Look, I want my hands... They're my tools so as long as you leave them in one piece I can let you leave whenever you want." Noel exclaimed grinning. "Where did the dungeon aesthetic fit with the bridge?" I asked. "What dungeon?" he said confused. "I woke up in a pit full of bodies and you're telling me you know nothing about that?" I exclaimed. "Bodies? Oh no... Oh nooo. It was supposed to be just a doll house" Noel said concerned. "What do you mean?" I asked nervous. "A doll house that holds fallen souls needs some serious juice... The warlock that made it must have used blood magic..." he said rubbing his forehead rapidly. "And what does this mean?" I asked even more confused. "You must be kidding... It means we're fucked... Firstly the warlock that did it is seriously messed up and secondly the souls used are after us and trust me when I tell you, once this shit gets your scent start saying your goodbyes... I'm sending you back." he uttered anxiously as he started moving his arms like he was untying something. "I said you won't stop talking before I tell you" I roared once again. Getting my heart eaten out is worse than losing my hands... I'm gonna take my chances..." he exclaimed pale from fear. "A heads up, you'll return a few seconds into the future" he continued. "Why are you helping me?" I asked. "Well the warlock fucked us both up... We're in this together." he said as he kept untying faster and faster. The realm started falling apart and I was peeking into the timeline I was before. "Oh and Aiden, come find me in New Orleans if you need my help" he winked as he clapped his hands.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I heard a voice

"Sir, siiiir you need to wake up"

someone was nudging me.

I opened my eyes and I saw Henrik's face almost stuck on mine. I jumped back hitting my head in the back of the bed. "Jesus Christ Henrik, please don't ever wake me up again like this" I said spooked. "Where am I?" I continued. "Sir, you passed out last night from drinking and I brought you in the guest room" he exclaimed. "Well thank you for that, I'm usually a better drinker..." I replied, still rubbing my head from the hit. "Master Azrael has requested you, please follow me" he said and so I did.

I entered the garden and I saw Azrael wearing a sword fighting uniform and stabbing a wooden doll with a sword.

"Help me" I heard in a faint voice from the end of the corridor. As I walked closer and closer I saw a man, dyed blonde hair, earrings, probably in his forties merged into a wall. "Please end my suffering" he said in the faintest tone he could mutter. I signaled him to hush. "I'm trying to survive, why should I help you?" I whispered. "I was a good man before everything went under... I was a well respected teacher in an esthetician school, I haven't done anything wrong... Please" he said with all his hope lost. Fucking hell. I grabbed his shoulders and I dragged him off the wall. His skin was stuck to it and chunks were slowly getting removed from his body, his screams of pain filled the air. The wall started trembling and a disfigured hand came through, grabbing his head and throwing him away. "I found you little mouse" said Ceryx from behind the hole in the wall... He put his hands through it and he opened it to its fullest stepping out. I tried to run but gates fell from the ceiling closing every exit. "I control this place... You reached this place because I wanted you and after passing all those people that had actually done something good in their lifetimes you decided to help this worm" he said. "I DID NOTHING WRONG" screamed the man while he dragged himself away. Ceryx stepped closer to him, he grabbed the man by his neck and he raised him in the air. "I love it when you try to escape" said Ceryx. He hit his foot down and an operating cable popped from the wall. He put the man on it and he tied him there. I started running towards them but Ceryx sent me straight into a wall. "I want you to watch cause you're next" he said as cables rose from the walls tying me from my mouth to my toes."Now, where were we" said Ceryx. "Please don't" the man whimpered. He smashed his fingers one by one and then he grabbed his hands breaking them. He broke a part of the table and he stabbed the man in the chest dragging it through. Ceryx's laughs and the man's screams of agony merged like a melody from hell. Ceryx held his hand up and then he shoved it straight into the man's eye pulling it out. "Time for the other one" he said laughing. "Esthetician huh.... I have some great products for those eyes and mouth of yours" said Ceryx giggling as he grabbed the sewing kit. "But first" he continued as he pulled the man's teeth out one by one.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 12

-Chapter 12-

"LYDIA WHERE ARE YOU" I kept screaming and screaming. Absolute silence echoed throughout the apartment. "FUCK" I yelled and I broke down in tears. The atmosphere was gloomy, dark clouds hugged the skies and the horizon was bleak . . . It started raining, water was maniacally hitting the windows, lightnings were the only light source in the house, droplets were smashing on the walls and you could hear the tapping. I need to find where she is.

I was walking for what seemed like hours and one scene was playing in my head, Lydia saying her last words and then the BANG. I wasn't really sure if it was real or not . . . I won't bear it if it was real. As I was walking I heard fire from my left, I saw a flaming portal opening and I rushed towards it. "Oh fucking bullocks" a man said stepping out of it. He was blonde with short hair. He looked like he was on his 30s, he had a book on his one hand, a cigarette on his other and he wore a tan coloured long trench coat. "The fuck you looking at" he said blowing smoke on my face. " I need your help, I don't know where I am and you're the first person I've seen in hours" I exclaimed. "Oh bugger off, I have enough on my plate, I don't need a fucking lost soul slow me down" he said. "Please help me, I saw a hunter kill my best friend and I need to find a way to go back, maybe even save her." I said in a low tone as I felt tears rush to my eyes. I couldn’t even think of the idea that what happened was real but I guess saying it out loud made it feel real. "Oh my god you saw your friend die in front of your eyes and you didn't tell me sooner? JOIN THE FUCKING CLUB, I'M NOT MOTHER TERESSA" he screamed brushing past me. "Please" I exclaimed grabbing his arm. "Look pal, I'm having a bad day and my portal bringing me here is the cherry on top so I don't care how your friend died, who killed her and how you died" He said lighting up another cigarette. "I didn't die, I just got transported here, I don’t know what happened" I replied. "If you're here you're dead, even if you don't remember how you died my point still stands." he said as he started walking away. "Well the last thing I remember was being tied down next to Lydia and seeing a red sky with tendrils and a gold light as a hunter was trying to finish me off" I said. He instantly stopped walking. "Oh fuck off . . . Red skies and gold lights, well that makes it interesting. What's your name mate and what are you?" he exclaimed as he walked back. "I'm Aiden and I'm an Accursed Reaper, who are you?" I asked. "Azrael you cheeky little bastard . . . Well Aiden, name's John and I'm a warlock." he replied. "And who's Azrael?" I continued. "Oh you're gonna find out soon enough . . . I need to leave so the quick version is you need to find a cunt named Azrael who-" He said. "Who is in the castle" I exclaimed. "Don't you interrupt me you little shit . . . He's indeed in the castle but the only way to go inside is activating your summons or being a kickass warlock" he continued. "This dude Azrael brought me here without a summons and I'm clearly not a warlock. How did he expect me to go inside?" I said. "He didn't, he wanted me to get you inside . . . He's been bugging me for a few weeks to guide you, I guess he wants us to become acquaintances." he said and made circles with the smoke. "Well he could've brought you here hours ago" I said frustrated.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 11

-Chapter 11-

“Well Lydia, here we are” I said as I was opening the apartment door. Light coming from the living room windows . . . Home sweet home.

“Hey look, how about you get some sleep and I run some errands?” I continued as I started making the bed. “Sure” she exclaimed in a low tone, she looked pretty uncomfortable. “So then, you’re free to do anything you want, plus you get the bed. How does that sound?” I exclaimed as I touched her shoulder. “I don’t want to take your bed, it’s your house . . .” she replied with a tired tone. I nudged her towards the bed and she chuckled, I haven’t seen her smile in days. “So now that we got that figured out” I said laughing, “how about you give me a list from the stuff you want from your house so I can bring them here in no time! Oh and whatever you need just call and I’ll be right there”.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 10

-Chapter 10-

I opened my eyes and I jumped up. "Take it easy, lie back down" said Circe. "Am I dead? Have I gone to heaven?" I asked. Circe started laughing, "Trust me, if I'm here it's certainly not heaven" she continued.

I looked around and I was in the safehouse once again though this time it was much emptier. Most of the things were in labeled boxes. I looked at the mirror opposite of me and I was left speechless. My clothes were full of blood and there was a huge scar on my neck.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 9

-Chapter 9-

Screaming and howls everywhere

I jumped from the bed with cold sweat and warm tears running down my face.

The nightmares have been getting worse.

Three days have passed with no signs of Circe in any of the abandoned churches surrounding the city.

I have not exchanged words with anyone... the days have felt endless. I need a win.

The doors of the bunker opened and I headed out. The weather was really moody. The sun was cowering behind the clouds and a light fog has coated the city, a city still asleep with only some birds chirping , saying good morning to whoever was unlucky enough to start their day this early. Two churches were left on my list and then, if I had time I would join my classmates for a coffee... Only two days were left after all.

"Sir" I heard a child's voice coming from behind me. I turn around and there he was, a small boy wearing old, almost torn, clothes. "Sir can you help me?" he continued hesitantly. "Hello little dude, what do you need?" I replied, slowly approaching him. "M-My ball . . It's in a room and i'm afraid to go get it." he said looking at the ground. "Hm how about we make a deal, I'll go get you ball and you can tell me if you've seen a girl with white hair and some people wearing black bed sheets, what do you say?" I asked with a reassuring smile. "Deal!" he answered and giggled. "Amazing, so where is that room?" I continued. "Well, it's that one." he replied as he pointed at the end of the hallway. I walked up to the door and a sign was above it saying "ARCHIVES", the door was locked, how do you lose a ball in a locked room I thought to myself. I pushed it and the lock broke immediately revealing the room. You couldn't see much, the only light was coming from the one window of the room, really made me appreciate how surprisingly well lit was the rest of the asylum. I saw the ball at the corner of the room and I went there to pick it up but as my eyes were adjusting to the lighting my blood ran cold. My name . . . my name was written on every wall and ceiling of the room. I picked up the ball and I almost flew out of this room . . Too creepy for my tastes. I started walking and my 'employer' was nowhere in sight. "Hey kid!" I yelled and suddenly he replied behind me, "Yes?" he said. "Okay, I found your ball, tell me about the girl and the people with the bed sheets and it's all yours" I said. "I thought I saw the girl coming here a few nights ago and going to the amphitheater at the top floor but i'm not sure. But, I've seen the bed sheet people hanging out on the top floor the past couple of days." he replied with a smile, never taking his eyes of the ball. "You have been so helpful so here's your ball" I said while handing him the ball, "how did it get in there though?" I continued. "I have no idea" he replied and he grabbed it off of my hand. "Alrighty then, nice meeting you" I said while nodding. "Thanks for the help" he replied. I turned around and I started walking towards the stairs. "Oh yeah, I forgot, do you want me to help you get out of this place?" I said, turning around to face him and he was already gone.

"Time to power up" I said and I summoned my armor along with my sword on my back and my gun on it holster. Harbingers started appearing as I was following the signs to the amphitheater though they would go down way easier than I remembered. The closer I got the more they were and by the time I reached the doors of the room the place was practically crawling with them. I cleared out the place and it was time to see if I had finally found her. I tried to open the doors and as always they wouldn't barge so a kick it is . . . The doors fall down to the floor and I see her, in a chair in the middle of the room just standing there, her eyes turned blank and dozens of harbingers flying around and screaming. I started shooting. That must have done something because she suddenly came to her senses. "You came to get me" she said. "Of course I did" I replied. "Come untie me fast!" she ordered while struggling to get free. "Stay there for a bit, I've got it. Plus if I untie you, you'll have to fight." I continued. "Don't threaten me with a good time" she said smiling. I approached her as I kept shooting and I slashed the chains with my sword, finally the harbingers were almost all gone and I now had some support. The thing came in through the door. "We're not done yet pretty boy" it said and it started approaching. "Damn, she fugly" said Circe. "She?!?!?!" I asked. "How did you know it's a 'she' I continued. "Follow me and I'll tell you as we're escaping" she said and she started running to the roof door. "Well, that's a vengeful spirit and an ugly one at that, basically if their skin seems like it's melting it's a female." she continued as she was kicking the roof door. "Such a smart lady" the thing said, now closing distance fast. The roof door broke down and we were outside . . . The thing was right behind us so we run to the edges. It slowly kept approaching. "You haven't seen what I can do yet" it said and smiled with that horrid rotten teeth. Circe ripped a piece of her shirt and she placed it inside my armor. "We jump on 3" she said. "I'm sorry what, this place is 6 floors tall and-" I continued but she interrupted me, "THREE!" she yelled and she dragged me down with her.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 8

-Chapter 8- Sylvia's POV: You need to pull yourself together I thought to myself as I was leaving my cover. "We meet again" I screamed at Abigor. He glanced at me and I could feel he was smiling. "Hahaha, the small girl survived... I still remember the splendid taste of your brother little vamp" Abigor replied. That broke something in me... Vengeance was calling my name. I started rushing towards the knight, he still had Aiden on his grasp and it was time to free him. I summoned my Twin Sickles and I started stabbing him. The attacks did nothing and I could see Aiden turning purple. I dashed back and I started rushing again. I jumped on some tables, I grasped my sickles tightly, I stretched the chain and I lept on Abigor. I tied the chain on his neck and I started hanging from him. He started sidestepping and I heard him choke, that's when I knew I needed to apply even more pressure. He threw Aiden on a wall, he grabbed my chains and he started gasping for air.

While the blade was getting transformed I started losing my armor and my wings, I was now a simple human with simple clothes holding a big shining purple sword. What the hell I thought to myself. I know I need to work fast. I rushed towards Abigor significantly slower than before and this time the sword was actually doing damage, it was really scratching his armor and it left an aftermath of energy after every attack. Red smoke was coming out of every scratch. He was in terrible pain... His screams would shake the ground but he would still not let her go. "You know what...You have taken a toll on all of us...I am ending you" I growled. He started laughing as I was letting the energy from the sword travel through me. I closed my eyes and I took a deep breath as I was trying to contain the energy. One breath, one movement, one moment and this torment would stop. I breathed out and a purple ray flew from the edge of the sword hitting Abigor on his chest. The blast left a hole on his body and red smoke was flowing out of it, he finally fell down helpess. I helped Sylvia up and we slowly approached him. I held the sword on top of his neck. "Sylvia, grab the handle along with me... It's closure for you too" I said to her and if she hadn't been through hell she would smile. "Any last words?" I asked Abigor. "Curse you, your children too. And their children, forever true." he answered as he was chocking. That made me smile. "So...Shall we?" I said to Sylvia. "May God have mercy upon your soul because I won't." I sighed and we pushed the blade through his neck. And with that, complete silence. He stopped moving and what was once the club was now a building in ruins. "Bastard" Sylvia said and she spit on him. "That's a great time for a drink" I said with joy and I headed to the few bottles that weren't destroyed with Sylvia right behind me. I jumped behind the bar. "Pick your poison love" I said. We agreed on a bottle of red wine and we were ready to start drinking. "You know what, it's the perfect time for a toast." I exclaimed. "To putting an end to unfinished bussines." she said raising her glass. "To lady death and may she be on our side on the approaching fights." I continued and our glasses met. "Are you old enough to drink?" she asked. "We killed an executioner that had returned from the dead...Do you want to see my ID or does that cover you?" I sassed. She started laughing. "Calm down boy..let me jest" she answered and she kept laughing. "Anyways, with your club destroyed what are you going to do?" I asked. "Well, good question actually...I've always wanted to move to another country for a fresh start and I don't think I'm getting a better chance... I can't help but see hope throughout this mayhem and well, a fresh start is all I need...I hope. What about you?" she said. "Hm, now that I'm powered up again I need to find Circe though there's a talk I need to have with Lydia." I continued. "How so?" she asked. "Well, you see she doesn't have powers and she came all the way here in the middle of the night while we were fighting...She could've been killed, I told her to stay away from me" and as I was saying that a slap hit me. "She came here to help you, you fool and you're going to hold it against her? You know, you might know how to fight but you really need to learn to understand people more..." she said with anger in her voice. "So what do you think I should do?" I asked. "You should figure it out yourself" she said and she took a sip, "Also about Erebus" she continued. "Oh yeah what's up with that... My armor went away while I transformed it" I said. "Well that's the thing... The hunger this blade has while transformed is insatiable, it draws energy from whenever it can and your armor is a great source, you should remember though... Don't hold it in this form for more than a few minutes after your armor has gone away, it starts eating life force and that's not ideal." she continued. "Alright then, I'll have it in mind" I replied. We talked for a bit more, about her story and about mine too, the bottle had reached its bottom. She placed the glass on the table, she got up, she took a sealed one and she started walking away. "It's time to say goodbye Aiden and about Circe you should try searching in abandoned churches, those places are rotten grounds, perfect for Harbingers...Give her my regards." she sighed. "Bye then, I'll take your words to heart and I hope we meet again." I said with a smile. "You shouldn't hope." she said and she closed the door behind her. Time to head out I thought to myself so I grabbed a bottle of wine and I returned to the hideout..It was morning by now and people have started gathering around the ruins of the club. It took me some time but I reached the hideout and that pun in the entrance always makes me laugh. I jumped on the couch and I fell asleep almost instantly.... I hadn't slept that good in ages. I woke up and I checked my phone. A text from Lydia saying hello sent 10 hours ago....God how long have I been sleeping. "Hi there" I answered and she instantly started typing.

And so time came to pass... I dressed up and I headed to the garden. The place was beautiful. Bushes with unique colours all around... A fountain in the middle frozen from the cold with patches of icebound flowers surrounding it, benches placed under old lamps and snowflakes longing to hug the frigid landscape. I saw her and I approached her, we nodded and we both started looking at the frozen fountain. "Look" I told her, "I know I haven't been the most supportive friend. I've been so caught up with the -whatever the fuck this shit is- and I never took a moment to think that I didn't act the way I should have". She raised her eyebrow. "No matter how difficult this thing is, I should have considered how nerve racking must be seeing a friend you've known all these years put himself on the grasp of death..." I continued. "Could you please tell me what you did that you think was wrong?" she asked. "Well, for starters, when I talked to you about this situation you wanted to help and I did my best to stop you from that, even if I wanted to protect you I should have been a bit more careful. Next when I lost my bluetooth I didn't even try to contact you another way which led you to coming to help me.. I should have escorted you out of harms way that very moment but instead I screamed at you and I returned to the shitshow... Lastly, I should have contacted you the moment I was safe..." I replied. "Hm" she said, "Do you know why I called you here?". "No" I replied. "Look, I do want to apologise myself... I felt like a burden coming on the club, I shouldn't be something else you have to have your mind on". "Wait" I said interrupting her, "I never got to tell you that but thank you... You weren't a burden... on the contrary, I don't know how that fight would have ended if you hadn't stepped in at that moment". "Nevertheless, we had a deal and I broke it... The moment that I saw those pieces of rubble fly towards us I knew that I shouldn't have been there and the fact that I made you endure the hit really made me feel bad" she continued. "Please don't do this... You were the best support I could have asked for" I said. "This world isn't for me and I can't pretend that I am able to withstand the anxiety that comes with it... I don't know if I can help you anymore and that includes comms... It's hard for me to say that you know" she sighed. "I understand... The moment I saw him approaching you... I've never felt so much concern and so much hate, not towards him... Towards me for dragging you into all...that" I said. "What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry and thank you.... You were a big help and I'd feel happy to have you on the comms if you're up to it..." I said with a small smile. "There's another thing... The trip ends in a couple of days and you'll be alone here which will make the situation even worse. I'm asking you... Leave this behind and come home with the rest of us" she continued. "I can't do that... I would love to return to how things were but now that's something I'm unable to do... My plan now is saving Circe, returning home and finding a way to get these stuff off of me" I sighed. "That sounds fair" she said, "So, all good?". "It seems like it..." I replied, "We still have a night to spare, what are you in the mood for?". "Okay, I have a great idea. We head to this great 24/7 diner, get a bite, a drink and then walk in the old city" she said excited. "You know what... I dig that, let's not waste a moment!" I replied. And so we begun. We headed to the diner and we bought some snacks and hot chocolate . We started walking around talking laughing and just enjoying this part of the city. The cold was stinging a bit but nothing we couldn't handle, I didn't really mind because it was just what was needed for the scenery to look like that. Roofs covered in snow all around, tall trees almost crystallised by the cold and snowflakes dancing in the breeze. The time was passing fast and after walking around for hours we concluded that we should return. We were moving in an alley to save time and we saw a person emerge from its end. I have a bad feeling I thought to myself, I looked behind us and I noticed someone was on our tail. "Give me your gloves" I said with a low voice and that's exactly what she did. I summoned my gauntlets and I covered them with the gloves. We had almost reached the end of the street but the man was still blocking, he now had his hand inside his jacket... We were getting closer and closer. "Look what we have here" the man said while drawing a knife , "such a great night to do a good deed and help my poor soul". We tried to step back but a woman was in the way with a knife on her hand as well . "I don't think they are really into charity love" she said to who I presume was her boyfriend. "Here's the thing kids, if you give us your stuff we'll let you go, it would be terrible to stain this street with blood wouldn't it" the man said to us, "I like your pink gloves dude, really... Manly" he continued and the couple started chucking. "Oh you have no idea" I said under my breath. "Don't" Lydia told me. "We don't have all night, start with your wallets" said the woman. "You heard the lady, now hurry... It would be a pity for something bad to happen to your lady friend... You get me dude, man to man, you know how that is, she looks like fun" the man said and I felt my heart pumping. "You done fucked up" said Lydia. "Stop talking girl" said the man while putting the knife closer to her throat. I grabbed the hand and I smashed his elbow, a loud crack echoed in the alley, the man fell down and he started screaming in pain and in disbelief. "You little shit!" screamed the woman and she tried to stab me but I blocked the knife with my gauntlets. "What the fuck" she muttered and I grabbed her head with my arm, I smiled and I smashed it on the wall letting her drop down unconscious. His screams were still going and I saw Lydia kicking him in the guts. "His stupid voice enrages me" I said to her and I approached him. "Nah I got it" she said, she took a few steps back and she kicked him in the head knocking him out. "Ouch, that's gonna hurt like a bitch when he wakes up" I chuckled. "Thank you... Exactly what I was going for" she replied and she started laughing. "I hope you won't kick me too but I may have stained your gloves with a tiny bit of blood" I said. "Nah they make them look less childish... You know, the blood really brings out a murderous intent the normal pink just can't" she replied smiling. "Cool point of view... Does that mean I should stain your pyjamas too?" I said with a grin. "Sheesh, I'm trying to make a joke here and you take it as a chance to hit more people" she laughed. "On my defense I read on a fashion magazine that scarlet red is gonna be worn a lot this year" I continued. "Admitting you're reading fashion magazines isn't a great defense per say but you do you" she replied with a laugh. "We should probably call the police shouldn't we?" I said and she pulled out her phone. "Already on it" she Said. She left an anonymous tip and we continued our wall back. Some time passed and we finally managed to reach the hotel. I followed her to the lobby "So I guess this is goodnight" I said. "Oh, you're not going to your room?" she asked. "We shouldn't give miss old hag the chance to ask questions should we" I replied. "Fair" she said, "That was fun... You know, up until the mugging part". "Attempted mugging you mean... But yeah, it was fun" I said. "The trip days are running out" she continued, "we should do something tomorrow". "I would love to but I have a lead for Circe that I need to follow... Can't wait for when I get back so we can hang out more" I said. "Likewise" she said and she yawned, "I guess it's goodnight then". "I guess it is" I replied with a smile, "Goodnight". "Night" she answered and she started going up the stairs. Time to go back to the hideout and be all alone I thought to myself and I sighed. I walked out of the hotel and the sun was rising.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 7

-Chapter 7-

"What the actual fuck" screamed the barwoman. Absolute silence befell the club everyone was waiting for what would come next. I chuckled and Sylvia gave me an angry look. The glass panels of the roof started cracking, you could hear the cracks moving closer to our direction. You could almost see them too. The cracking stopped. Silence all around us.

Suddenly a terrible screech! The roof shattered, a million pieces of glass all around us, it was truly beautiful. The purple and pink lights reflected on all the tiny pieces dancing around us but the beauty would soon seize. A black ray started coming from above and harbingers slowly emerged. "Battle stations" screamed Sylvia. All the vampires around extended their teeth even more and nails came out of their hands. Three of them rushed straight to Sylvia, they were different, they had a light armor, and small blades though they had no nails. "The cavalry I presume" I said chuckling. "Silence" said Sylvia, "What are these?". "I'd think an Accursed Omni would know" I replied. "Damnit Circe, what have you done this time... As for you..", "Aiden" i interrupted her. "Well as for you Aiden, I presume you are the target so i shall leave you perish...I will give them exactly what they want!". "So you would leave a friend of Circe's behind?" i asked. "Circe can get herself out of trouble and trust me when I tell you I do not care about her friends!" she growled. A bloodbath was happening right before our eyes and we knew that death was -slowly but steadily- coming towards us. "I get that you don't care about me but I do know you care about your people, about your "kingdom" and about yourself. Even if these creatures take me you know that they will leave no one behind so I ask you... are you sure you want to let them have me?" I said looking right inside her glowing eyes. The horrible stench of blood was all around us. "Even if I decided not to give you up to them there is nothing you could do...nothing" she said. "I came here to get a skeleton weapon...Circe told me you would have at least one here. If you would give me it I could return to my full power. I've fought them before and after all you wouldn't think Circe would ask help from someone that couldn't stand up to it" I exclaimed. Harbingers kept emerging from the dark corners of the club. "Fine then, follow me but if you fail, trust me when I tell you that I'll be having your lifeless body for dinner, ohh you don't know how much I want to taste your blood." she said with a terrible grin. "Awww, always a sweetie" I replied. "Bodyguards....Follow me" she growled and the armored vampires started following us. All hell had broken loose, the club was getting destroyed, screaming everywhere and you could almost taste the sorrow. A harbinger lunged at us, I pushed Sylvia out of the way and I somehow escaped too, we nodded. The creature charged me, it hit me pushing me to the side. I saw it move towards Sylvia. Rage was swimming inside the eyes of the bodyguards. The creature managed to grab her head and she struggled but in the end she fell down on her feet. Something gray was getting dragged from within her mouth. At that point a Bodyguard shot it with an arrow, it became smoke and flew right into the ray, it went away maybe a little too easy. I tried to help her up but she wouldn't accept my assistance. She just nodded and we kept walking. I followed her inside the back doors, the bodyguards were right by us and they closed the entrance following us inside. The screams were muffled but you could still hear them behind the door. We kept walking fast but harbingers would keep entering this part of the building passing through the closed doors slowly. The bodyguards started attacking one by one... They could fight better than I thought though it was obvious who would eventually win. Sylvia waved her hand and a door appeared, she pushed me inside and the door closed behind us. The room was scarlet red with medieval decorations, axes on the walls and in the middle a glass case was placed. Inside there was a sword made of bones. "Here you go then, take it and show me if what you're saying is indeed true" she said. As i was walking towards the case I felt something pulling me towards it. It was under the case... I could feel it reaching for me. "Wait" I said. "Something else is here...I feel it calling me. It's under the case". "Oh God" she said. "You might actually be as powerful as you proclaim to be". She approached the case, she extended one of her nails pushing it inside her palm and placing in on the case. With that, the whole room rotated...we were suddenly upside down and I saw that the sword was now different...Its color was black as night itself, you could feel the gravity near it pulling you. "It was supposed to be mine you know" she said disappointed , "It calls to you now and that is something out of my control. My kingdom used to call it Erebus, the sword worthy of an Accursed ruler ". I nodded and I slowly walked to it. I extended my arm and it broke the case flying on to me, the lights flickered and all the glass frames broke. The bodyguards were getting overwhelmed and harbingers would soon break the doors. It was time finally. I transformed holding the sword and tendrils started coming out of my armor slowly binding it. The binding had not concluded but it was time to move. She summoned two sickles with chains in their handles. She opened the doors stabbing a harbinger with a war cry killing it instantly. We kept moving towards the club, alas I had a promise to keep. The bodyguards were in the front and me and Sylvia were side by side walking within these broken halls. The binding was still not ready but I could feel power on the grasp of my hands increasing fast and my wings were slowly raising. The binding was almost done and I could FEEL it , I started smiling, I was ready to shed some blood. "STOP" I yelled and everyone looked at me. "I'm going first" I said with a grin. Black tendrils were coming out of my eyes and mouth. Everyone seemed kinda scared. I chuckled and I kicked the door open revealing the battleground. Bodies flying everywhere and blood splattered across the walls. Finally it was time to get some retribution and I knew the sword itself lusted for death. I flung my wings open and I flew inside stabbing every unlucky bastard that stood in my way. "RUSH IN THE BACK" I screamed but nothing. "DO WHAT HE SAYS" screamed Sylvia and everyone started running towards her. I pointed my sword at the air and I started draining the ray. I flew higher and higher, strands of darkness all around me. The entire city stood under my feet. "A storm is coming" I screamed "And I'm ready to kill Zeus himself" I continued. Lightnings came from the heavens hitting the dark strands. I closed my wings and I started descending with the sword pointing at the ground. Lightnings and darkness were dancing around me. I hit the ground creating a crater. The sonic boom of the drop along with the lightnings evaporated the dark ray. All the harbingers were pushed back and they were cowering in the shadows of the corners of the club. "It's over" said Sylvia letting out a sigh. With that the Harbingers turned to smoke and jumped to the middle of this gigantic hall. "We are not lucky enough" I replied grasping my sword tightly. The smoke started concentrating slowly forming a tall figure. As the legs started taking shape I heard Sylvia gasp, "It - it can't be" she said under her breath. "That is not possible" she continued, the horror in her voice brought out the words one by one like dragging them within her throat. "H-How" she whispered while the figure was still forming. I rushed to her grabbing her by her shoulders and stopping her line of sight with the figure. "Tell me what's going on" I exclaimed trying to get her attention off of it. "This shouldn't be possible" she kept going looking me straight in my eyes."I don't know what's going on and obviously you are aware of something I am not so tell me what it is and how we stop it!" I screamed. "His name was Abigor the knight of thorns, he was an executioner in my realm thousands of years ago with his title forgotten by history itself, only the ones that met him and survived still remember this awful, awful name" she grunted. "I think he is nothing we can't handle" I said determined. "He killed my family Aiden, this abomination is the reason I had to grow up alone...the reason I became an Omni. I became what I am because I had no other choice" she

I rushed towards her. She was still trembling with her bodyguards around her. "TELL ME HOW I CAN SLOW HIM DOWN NOW" I screamed into her face. "I - I dont know" she kept rambling. "His legs" said one of the bodyguards "that should buy you some time". I nodded, grabbed the bow from his hands and I started running, my wings still injured from the kicking. "Fuck, I cant reach him in time" I said to myself. I hope this works for the sake of her. I took my sword and I placed it on the bow, I took a breath while dragging the string back with all the power I had in me. I breathed out and with that my sword was cutting the air. It hit his leg impaling itself deep inside. Abigor didn't even scream. He just kneeled punching the ground. I passed right by him I grabbed Lydia and I pushed her further back. "You can't be here.. Leave NOW" I raged. As I was saying that a piece of rumble flew straight at us, I went in front of Lydia to protect her opening my wings and bracing for impact.Dust all around us. "Please, just go and we'll talk later" I said with the calmer tone I could mutter."O-Okay" she mumbled and I could see she was shook. I saw her leaving and I returned to the hall. "Alright fuckface...You just made it personal" I said and I screamed as I attacked him but before I could touch him he raised his shield and he bashed me with it. I hit the wall again. I could taste the blood and the metal. "This clearly isn't working" I thought to myself as I saw Abigor approach me. He tried to kick me again but I have learned from at least some of my mistakes. As his dirty sabatons approached my face I pulled my sword and I thrusted it right into his foot. He groaned in pain and he fell back. I jumped and I started hitting his head and his torso but still, not even a scratch on his armor. I could only buy time by hitting his legs. At least enough for Lydia to get far away I hope... As I was trying to even scratch the armor a punch hit me. He got back up and he attacked with his sword. I ducked and I hit his legs another time. "This is not going to work again" he said while laughing. I dashed back and I summoned my gun. "Where did you find this weapon?" he asked. "Let's just say it was a gift from a friend fuckface" I replied and I started shooting. He put up his shield and he started running towards me. His shield was affected by the bullets, like it was getting hit by acid. Green vines started appearing on it and smoke started emerging from it. Abigor dropped the shield growling and he grabbed me knocking my gun off my hand. He brought me close to his helmet. Thorns scratching my face and his hot and horrid breath hitting me. "You thought I would let you get away...No one disrespects Abigor the knight of thorns" he growled. "Oh, he's talking in third person now, always a good sign... God, you're so cliche" I said chuckling. He growled and he started putting more pressure in his grasp. "I'm going to watch your intestines come out of your mouth" he growled. I was struggling but I couldn't escape his grasp...Everything was turning black.

Ahh I can almost feel the rays of sunshine hit my face and the smell of oranges dance around my nose. We lived in a small village, knew all our neighbors and I faintly remember the afternoons that all the kids would go play outside until the early hours of the morning. my queen . Everything felt ideal and everyone seemed happy. Nothing ever lasts... I've heard stories about the Pine Keep and I always used to think they were one of these stories the parents tell their children in order to behave. Tales about fearsome executioners and noble knights. Tales about eldritch kings and hilarious jesters. Tales about horrible plagues and beautiful gardens. In times when we were awfully naughty tales about carnage and death. my queen I beg thee . This day shall never escape my mind. I was helping mother clean up the house while my father and brother were cutting the trees in the back yard. Smoke started coming from the other side of the village and screams followed right after. My father rushed inside the house holding my brother in his arms. He dragged the carpet in the living room and opened the doors to the cellar. Father ordered us to hide inside and be quiet. Mother gave me the necklace she was wearing. "Sylvia if the time comes break it in half, it will get you out of here" she said. It all happened so fast... Father closed the cellar door and I heard the carpet getting dragged. Seconds later the door started knocking and at once I heard it brake, a stench followed right after. my queen I beg thee wake up . There's a turmoil in my head after that. Scarce sounds and smells, the only solid memory is an image... My parents dead right beneath my feet. Next thing i remember i'm outside with my brother. The whole village was burning and the sun had set. Ashes were falling from the skies, the stench of death was all around us... The smell of people burned alive will never flee my mind. Soldiers on pale horses were running around the main square dragging lifeless bodies. These were people that I knew. People that I would see every day... Aunts , uncles...friends. A knight approached us but he wore a different armor, thorns covering everything and blood all over his armor. My brother stood in front of me to protect me and he kept screaming "BREAK IT, BREAK IT NOW" but I couldn't even blink. "The blood of you parents is on my hands, you should have stayed hidden" said the knight still approaching us."Please break it, I beg you" my brother kept saying but at the time I couldn't comprehend his words. "Foolish child...telle mèrre telle fille" * the knight growled. He grabbed my brother and he started chocking him in front of my eyes. I finally managed to break the necklace. The image of my brother looking at me has been haunting me every time I close my eyes since....It was my fault. my queen he's strangling him . Not this time.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 6

-Chapter 6- I entered the subway station... I did my research and apparently the safehouse was quite a bit closer using the subway than just walking. I finally reached the place but the door was nowhere to be found...A blank wall with some latin inscribed to it "Invented ad guy quis nulla" and I ran it through a translate app, it meant "to the guy who invented zero". What could she mean by that...I guess I can't ask her but maybe Lydia can provide me some insight.

There was nobody around me, it felt desolated, the buildings were almost destroyed and the place was covered with sand...it reminded me of the desert i thought. I looked around and I saw a woman standing behind me. It was Circe, the dream version of her. I approached. "I guess your help is needed again"she smiled. "We need to start meeting under better circumstances" i smirked. "That is quite true Aiden" she answered, "I believe you chose Touch....That was quite the decision, Sylvia will tell you what you need to know and it's time for you to leave i believe" she concluded and the alarm started ringing. I got up, I took a bath and i started getting ready. Black boots,black jeans,dark red shirt,grey jacket,earrings, rings, chain and i was ready to go. Suddenly the phone started ringing and it was Lydia. "Hey, watch up" i said answering the phone. "Sup dude, what is your superhero ass doing" she said snarkily. "Oh shut up" I replied "Just getting ready to go to a club". "Ohhh spicy...I didnt know the job description had partying" she said. "Yeah of course.... You know i hate these places, you dont have to be an ass about it" I said laughing it off. "So tell me, how come you go then?" she asked. "I mean, i am still searching for Circe..plus i need my sword back if I am to have a chance." i answered. "Okay wait for me, im coming with you" she said. "Oh stay where you are love, you aint coming with me, shit could get really bad really fast" i said to her with a watchfull tone. "And that's exactly why i'm coming, you need support from a friend when shit gets down" she pridfully replied. "No offence but if something bad happens the only friend i need is a fucking nuke so sorry not sorry, you're staying where you are" i said. "You know how much i hate you sometimes don't you?" she complained. "Well let me prove you otherwise, let's say i owe you a coffee..how does that sound?" I teased her. "Just that?...No deal, you still suck" she chuckled. "A coffee aaaand i'll have you on comms while i go to the club...i could really use a friend on a sucky place" i said wih a small smile. "It's Saturday night and you think i'll stand by on comms and keep you company?.... You are absolutely right" she replied and i could almost see her smile. "Fantastic just an fyi though, since it's kind of undercover i won't be able to answer you every time...just so you wont get worried"i said. "Alright" she replied. It was time to go. "Let's find Sylvia" i thought to myself while passing by the bouncer and he didn't seem amused. I was walking down the corridor, it was like a small tunnel leading to the entrance. The walls had some kind of fur, people leaning on them, some laughing, some puking, some staring. Purple and pink lamps lit the whole place and they made it feel like a fever dream. "These are going to be a bitch to walk through while drunk" I uttered silently. Following the music i arrived to the main room opening the doors.The room was gigantic. Glass panels were on the roof, cages with dancers inside them and a door on the other side of the room,the boss's room I thought. People were dancing, drinking and having fun... these places were never my kind of thing. I sat on the bar and I ordered a red wine. " A wine on a club....either a meeting or you're just boring" said the barwoman handing me my glass. "Maybe both, maybe neither" i said taking a sip. "So tell me what else do you do except pouring drinks and judging people darling." I continued. "ohhh the barwoman....spicy" Lydia said through the comms. "A man being just a bit of an asshole and not a full fledged one, a rare kind these days but nevertheless don't try hitting on the barwoman, you never know what she'll pour on your drink kid" said the barwoman with a wink. "I dont mix bussiness with pleasure unfortunately" i said. "Are you sure unfortunately is the right word?" the barwoman said interrupting me. "Ouchhh ruthless but i'll let it pass. Tell me though, do you know a woman called Sylvia? I heard she's running this place" i continued. "And who wants to talk to her?" said the barwoman. "Circe" I replied. "You don't really seem like a Circe but you do you, i'll go get her for you" the barwoman said smiling and she started leaving. " So, is hitting on the barwoman part of the undercover mission?" Lydia said. "Well no but if you form a small connection with a person, even someone who doesnt know your name, they are more likely to help you." i answered taking a sip of the wine. "I am so fucking sure you drank a bit of wine after saying that just too feel smart" Lydia said annoyed and I almost chocked from laughing. "Okay shhhhh i think she's coming" i said wiping wine of my face. "Oh you sir are not Circe" said the woman.

"Hello. sorry for using this name but i need to talk to you...somewhere more privately" i said in an apologetic tone. "Haha, no" she groaned. "Im sorry, what?" i asked. "What you just heard. You think you can barge in here and use her name?!" she said. With that she extended her arm, she hit me on my chest and I was now put up against the wall with the drinks. You could hear the shattering of the bottles and the whole place smelled of expensive vodka. I tried to move her hand but she was still keeping me there. She started hitting me again and again. "Why" was all I could mutter through the hits. "Why?!?!?!" she asked angry. "You barge in my club uninvited and you refer to yourself as Circe. You degenerate, you should've known what using this name in here would've caused you! ". She dropped me down and I could hear Lydia talking worried through the comms. "And who is your little friend talking to you." Sylvia continued. She took the Bluetooth out of my ear and she continued hitting me. "You leave her out of this" I screamed and she started laughing while kicking me in the face. "You dare talk to me like that inside my own domain you filth! I am the queen of the vampires and when I talk you bow! Now it's time to find your friend...." she said. I couldn't let this happen. I summoned my armor, I was still wounded wearing it but I had no choice. "Ugh, i never liked reapers... I knew that horrid musk was coming from you, I could smell you before you entered." she groaned. "Ohhh and I just had a bath before coming here... I'm gonna write a strongly worded email to the shampoo company" I said spilling while blood and looking at her with a smile. "We have a witty one today...They tend to taste a bit bitter. So you think you're funny?" she said. "What can I say, a jester fit for a queen" I continued with a stupid grin. And with that she kicked me on the stomach, at this point I could taste my own blood. "You'll show respect when I talk to you!" she yelled and she continued hitting me. "I'll break you tonight and I'll wipe that stupid smile off your face even if I have to sew your mouth shut" she continued with an evil grin. She grabbed me by the neck and she held me up."TURN OFF THE MUSIC" she yelled, silence befell the room and everyone was looking at her "THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO ANYONE WHO DISRESPECTS ME!" she screamed and you could see all the people saying "yes miss" with fangs in their mouths. I walked right into a nest. Circe had told me that but I thought normal humans would be among them.How many people are actually Accursed..... Suddenly one of the bouncers opened the doors, wounded and horror itself swam throughout his eyes. A black whip emerged from behind him, wrapping him and dragging him right before our eyes... His screams suddenly stopped.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 5

-Chapter 5-

By the time i managed to pull myself together the form had been dissolved. It was time to get her back but first I had to get my sword back...I need my full power for that fight. Alas, maybe I had an answer to whether I was gonna join her unholy crusade. My school trip ends in a few days so I should go back to the hotel and pick up my stuff, I could crash at her safehouse until I get my sword back.

*2 hours later* Finally the hotel. As I enter it I saw my bitch of a teacher, she doubles up as a trip coordinator...how fun. "Tell me NOW where have you been the past two days." she screamed at me, "You can't just disappear like that without a trace, I AM CALLING YOUR PARENTS". She was totally right for the first time in her life but I wasn't in a mood to have a "civilized conversation" which basically means getting yelled at. "Oh you know, here, there...It is a big city after all" I said, almost growling and I started heading to my room. "What a fucking disgrace" I heard her say as I started walking away. "Lydia come here and put your boyfriend in line!" she groaned. "Oh shut up you old hag" I replied. Lydia was a close friend of mine and one of the few people I could talk to in this shitshow of a school, This bitch had no right. I went in the room banging the door and I started packing, who gives a fuck if they return without me. I heard the door knocking. "Come in" I answered with a fake smile. "What the FUCK is going on" Lydia blurted while entering the room. "We all have been so worried you could AT LEAST reply to a text that you are.. I don’t know.... alive". "Oh hello to you too. You sound a bit mad, what's going on" I answered with a grin. "You MUST know you are being an asshole. We have been worried and you decide to act like a colossal BITCH" she groaned. "You know what, I am sorry. You are truly right. I have been acting like a bitch and I am sorry." I apologized. "I can't tell you what has been going on but just a heads up, you're going home without me." "Oh hell fucking no" she yelled, "Do you think I am leaving you here, alone, in another country....Bitch I ain't leaving you out of this room if you don't tell me what's up.". "Some weird things have been going on and I am sorry but i can't pull you in this story too" I lamented. "Oh boohoo princess, 2008's FallOutBoy called, they want their emo personality back." she sassed. I couldn't stop myself from laughing and I heard a giggle from her too. "But honestly, you're scaring me, what's going on, you know you can trust me" she said calmly. "I really don't want to put you through this" I said. "Well I do... I want to help my friend how I can" she replied. "Alright, I want you to promise me that you'll keep this a secret you'll take to your grave and that it won't change anything" I muttered. "You're seriously freaking me out... I promise though, just tell me" she answered hastily. "I'm gonna show you" I said and I turned my back on her...slowly summoning my armor and my wings. I heard nothing from her. I turned to face her and she was there frozen...Her mouth was closed and her lips tightly shut. She started moving to the door and it was like she was preparing to scream. I turned to smoke rushing through her, I reappeared holding her shoulders and covering her mouth. "When I take my hand off your mouth we are gonna have a calm talk and you won't scream....Nod yes if you are cool with that" I whispered and she nodded yes. I slowly moved my hand and i sat on the bed. "HOLY FUUCK" she screamed. "Oh fuck off, we had a deal, someone might come check on us now" I said concerned. "SHUT THE FUUUCK UP, you BITCH have an armor" "SHHHHHH" I said interrupting her". "you have armor,powers and ANGEL WINGS AND YOU WANT ME TO STAY CALM" she continued with a whisper, 'I want some explanations". "As much as i want to catch up with you I don't have time dear so please chill out and start warming up to the idea of returning home without me" I answered. "Oh don't use dear on me on this occasion, you're telling me how your wings and armor got fucked up whether you want it or not" she said while pulling out her new knife and flipping it with a smile. "Alright, but after that I am gone" I gasped looking at the knife. *30 minutes later* "So you're telling me that all these shit happened and you didn't think of texting Poughkeepsie" she asked in complete seriousness. "So let me get this straight I've been babbling on for half an our and telling you about witches, dragons, fuckers coming out of graves and you answered with a reference.... I don't know if I should be proud or concerned" I sassed. "How about both" she answered, "Look, I am sorry about your Cersei". "Circe" I corrected her. "Circe, alright" she continued, "Don't you think though this isn't a life made for you.... You mentioned almost dying in at least three separate occasions". "I can't leave her so as I said it's time to go, the faster I find her the better.." I replied. "There's no way I'm letting you go there, this might be the last time we talk and that ain't happening...I am coming with you" she dictated. "Look, there is no way in hell you are coming with me so how about you help me from here....something like my very own Barbara Gordon" I exclaimed seeing her confused, "Of course you don't know who she is....anyways, you'll be my eyes and ears on this place and when you return home, I'll be constantly in contact with you and you can help me by doing some research". "I still want to come with you but I guess that's the only way you're letting me help you so okay dude, have it your way" she replied. "Thank you, I wouldn't want you in harms way” I exclaimed. I dissolved the armor, I picked up my bag and we headed to the exit trying not to be seen by miss old hag.... "I hope this isn't the final goodbye" she exclaimed. "I promise it's not...it is a goodbye for now though and I'll text whenever I get the chance" i said calmly and she nodded. We hugged and I rushed to the nearest subway station waving her goodbye. I put on my headphones, Miss Jackson by Panic! At the Disco starts playing.

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 4

-Chapter 4-

Aiden’s POV:

"How did you find me?" I asked, breaking the silence. She sighed. "I felt something a few hours after we had that talk and I kind of knew you were in trouble. I had kept your jacket from when we were in the cathedral and I used it to open a portal and track you here" she answered. "Well, I guess I am lucky then" I chuckled.

"Oh wait, yeah.... How the hell did I get here" I said dumbfounded. "What's the last thing you remember" she asked. "Well, I went back to a hotel after the mindfuck and the dragons". "THE WHAT" she interrupted me. "Pfffft, the fucking dragons" I continued, "As it seems, seeing stuff is a part of having superpowers". "Superpowers?" she asked interrupting me again "You're no Batman. Boy, you are both blessed and cursed with these extraordinary abilities" she continued. "Batman didn’t have superpowers" I said with a proud smile and even though she was walking in front of me I just KNEW she rolled her eyes. "I want to know more about these dragons once we get out of here" she continued. "Ummm we have another problem" I said hastily, "I need my sword back... It got destroyed in the fight". "Oh dear Lilith, you're full of surprises, you should know that" she groaned. "There are skeleton weapons. Once one of yours get destroyed you need to find one of these and bind it. They basically are empty husks that need some of your form's DNA to be able to be used by you as a true weapon". "Perfect" I answered with a smile, "where do I get one?". "About that.... All the known ones are locked up tight by Omnis on their nests" she answered. "Okay, I have a few questions" I interrupted. "Don't cut me off, I was about to tell you", the anger in her voice was obvious. "Omnis are powerful Accursed that have a hold over less powerful ones of their respected race. In this city I know of three nests. Firstly we have Touch, a club owned by Sylvia, a powerful vampire. Next up, we have the headquarters of Lien, the famous Fashion House, owned by Levi, a powerful shapeshifter. Last but not least Red Tiger, brothel obviously owned by a succubus called Stella ironically. " " Did I answer your questions?"she asked". "Yeap" I answered "I guess I know what we're doing after we get the hell out of here". "Oh yeah... Where the fuck are we... You were going to explain how the fuck I got here". "Almost forgot, the dragons took me by surprise" she chuckled. "Alright, so I finally reached the hotel and I just fell asleep... Then boom snow everywhere" I concluded. "Hmmmm, honestly, I have no idea, a mystery I guess" she answered concerned. "Holy shit, you know things are weird when miss know-it-all is at a loss for words" I sassed. "Do you at least know where we are?" I asked. "Oh yeah, we're in an alternate dimension whe-" she tried to talk. "IN A FUCKING WHAT?!?! HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK DID I COME HERE" I basically screamed interrupting her. "Rude, to be honest but I'll let it pass. We're in an alternate dimension as I was saying... It's only inhabited by people who don't want to be found and well... Us at this moment" she continued. "We need to get back.. HOW CAN YOU STAY SO CALM FOR CHRIST'S SAKE" I screamed. "Silence" she groaned stopping me. "I'm trying to get us out all this time and I think I got it, if you just follow me for a bit we'll be gone in no time. And please for the love of Lilith keep quiet". We kept walking in absolute silence and we finally reached a circle made of quartz. "At last" she said breaking the silence "create some of your darkness and shoot it straight in the middle. And in all seriousness try to think of your room in the hotel, we don't want to end up somewhere unexpectedly... The cosmos is a strange place. " she added. I started shooting straight in the middle and the only thing I could think was the room. Suddenly black lines came straight out of the circle and they hit us. Everything went black for a moment and we appeared in the middle of a graveyard...

Tremors Behind The Veil Chapter 3

-Chapter 3-

Aiden's POV

"Finally" I thought. "Alright, if I am to going to do this I need you to forget everything you think is true, focus and trust me…deal?" she exclaimed. "I think we are waaay past that and a lot of crazy shit have happened so just start…At this point anything is possible." I answered. She nodded and she begun.

"Some people are born with powers. People like you and me. We are spread all around the globe and we call ourselves Accursed . The selection seems entirely random and nobody knows if any factors affect that. These powers are based on beings long gone from the face of this earth, the selected people can accommodate a number of different powers most common being powers from one being but there have been cases with two or even three different being's powers. I for example have two, psychopomp and witch and you have shown your reaper form" "What other forms do I have?" I asked interrupting her. "I do not know that to be honest. You might not have another form or you might have two more. Nobody knows what truly activates another form but the consensus is that you acquire it when you are in dire need of it." "Wait" I said interrupting her once again, "this isn't true, my form activated once you screamed on my face back in the church" I exclaimed. "I did not do such thing" she replied defensively, "I don’t possess such power". "You know what, I am here looking for answers , if this is how it's going to go maybe this was a mistake" I sighed. "No, it is not… I want you to let me finish and as you said some crazy things have happened, why don’t you do both of us a favor and categorize your accusation as one of them..now, where were we." She answered, I decided to stay for a bit, I don’t know if I can find answers elsewhere, even if they aren’t the entire truth. "The forms are located in a person's soul. The thing though is that things are about to get more complicated so as I previously said focus and don’t hesitate to ask questions. There is something all around us, the scientists call that dark matter and they have no clue what it is but they know it exists and it somehow keeps reality from collapsing. In reality though dark matter is not a what…it's a where. There's a place that exists right besides reality and the Accursed call it Obris Somnium (Dream World). That place houses the souls of every living thing on this universe therefore it is the source that creates the Accursed. The entrance to Obris Somnium is highly forbidden, you need a cataclysmic amount of energy to open a portal there. Few people have returned from this place and whoever comes back starts acting weird and disappears a few hours later never to be seen again." She got up but almost instantly she fell to the ground. "Circe!" I shouted, rushing to help her. "I don’t need your help" she muttered pointing me to stop. "You went there didn’t you…" I sighed. She got up and fell on the armchair "That obvious huh" she sighed. "I want to know what happened" I demanded and she started talking again, her voice sounded more tired. "Something has been wrong since I came back. The creatures that hunted us earlier, in that church, are the inhabitants of that place and when I got there they caught me, everything is blurry from that point until I woke up in this city. I do not know what they did to me in that place but I feel like an unfinished puzzle. They stripped me off my powers and they removed the essence of the witch and the psychopomp from my soul but I still feel a connection with them." "What about the spells" I asked. "Oh" she smiled, "these are things I picked up as a witch but don’t get used to them…every time I use one I feel less and less alive." "Alright" I continued, "What about the asshole that attacked us?". "He is Damien" she said, "we go way back. He is a hunter and it's basically his job to stop anything supernatural and the Accursed are number one on any hunter's list". "Anything supernatural" I asked confused and she started laughing. "Vampires, werewolves, ghosts…monsters are real Aiden and apparently we are one of them ourselves" she answered with the happy tone slowly fading. "I - I am sorry, I need some air" I said getting up. I opened the door, a slight chill hit my face. It was night outside and the streets were full of people. "I hope this isn't goodbye" she said from inside. I shut the door behind me and I started running away. "Thank God I somewhat know where I am, I’m not entirely lost" I thought. My head started hurting while I was running and I started looking around. Something was wrong, it was like reality itself was melting. Ripples were all over me and as I was running I kept seeing new ones getting created right before my eyes. I looked inside some of them, each and everyone was different. On some you could see swamps and on others futuristic cities. Victorian buildings, gigantic trees and demolished temples were visible through others.

Horrifying howls could be heard in the distance. "I should start moving" I thought to myself as I summoned my sword just in case. I kept walking in the woods, I couldn’t see the moon, all the trees looked the same and there had been no sign of a living thing other than the howl earlier. I found a small cabin, I walked towards it and I could see light slowly flickering from the window. As I approached, the door opened by itself, I walked inside and the door slowly closed behind me. A woman was waiting there. Pale white skin, black long hair, burgundy lips, brown eyes and she was wearing a worn out dress. "Lovely, a visitor" she said with a a colonial american accent and a grim smile, "and who might you be" she continued. "Hello, there, my name is Aiden. I am sorry for intruding,I arrived to these woods a few hours ago and I have been walking since" I exclaimed, I didn’t want to reveal all the information. "Maybe I should go" I said."Oh no, you poor thing. Stay, let yourself rest and you can leave first thing in the morning. Come, sit" she grinned as she moved a chair."Thank you, i appreciate it" i responded and with my sword still in my hand I took a seat."I'm gonna bring you something to eat, I'm gonna be right back" she said and she entered a door that was right behind me. The atmosphere was weird inside the cabin, almost suffocating, I could feel it in my chest and I started to become really anxious.Suddenly I heard the door slowly opening behind me and without even turning back "I think it's time to go" I said. Her hand started moving through my hair, "Oh we can't leave you now, can we" she whispered in my ear. I practically jumped off the chair. I turned to her and she was fully undressed. "Holy shit" I blurted. "Thank you for your warm welcome" I continued sarcastically and I tried to open the door but it wouldn’t open. With two fast steps she went right beside me, she grabbed me by the neck and she pushed me on the wall. Clenching my sword I tried to hit her but she grabbed it before it reached her, the sword turned to dust and she started chuckling. I summoned my gun and I shot her a couple of times in the leg but she didn’t even flinch. She grabbed my hand and with no difficulty whatsoever it felt like she broke it and the gun fell on the floor. "Your tricks do not faze me traveler. Tonight is a feast and I can't remember the last time I saw a male in these forsaken woods." she chuckled. I couldn't breathe, she was holding my neck too tight and her other hand was pressed on my chest. I felt the light fading from my eyes and I was desperate. My last resort were my fists. I punched her stomach. Some kind of black energy went out from my gauntlet pushing her back. I could finally breathe. She was lying down, i walked closer to her and now, she almost seemed like a woman. A part of her stomach was missing and something like dark vines were slowly moving across her body, all her hair had fallen and her skin now looked exactly liked clay. I heard someone call my name from outside but I didn't care. "Of fucking course. I had to come across the one bitch Salem forgot to burn!" I growled."Salem?" she asked and she started laughing."Do you find that funny" I asked while I stood on top of her, punching her fake face. "You came here to find me you fuckface" she blurted out. I stopped punching. "It doesn’t matter now to tell you the truth I guess. I don’t know how I got here, I woke up in a hill and I had been wondering for hours before you tried to do whatever the fuck you wanted to do to me" I stated. Her face went white like she had seen a ghost, the laughing stopped and I could see fear in her marble eyes. The door broke open."Aiden!" Circe called. "I have been looking for you. what happened here?" she asked, me still standing on top of the witch. "PLEASE. I AM SORRY FOR WHAT I DID TO YOU. PLEASE KEEP PUNCHING, PLEASE END MY MISERY NOW" the witch started screaming and shaking uncontrollably. I got up and I got my gun. I held Circe's hand "Let's go, I'll tell you everything when we leave this fucking cabin" I told her and I started walking outside with the witch still screaming."Oh my God, what were you doing with Hephzibah?" she said dragging me back in."Hephzi - what? This bitch right here, whoever she is either tried to choke me or fuck me...take your guess and let's get the fuck out of here" I responded. "She is an Accursed, a Nereid from the colonial times turned witch." she said. "Holy shit, then Salem was a right guess... I just thought it would sound cool" I chuckled. "You idiot, you left a Nereid in this state and you're amused?!?! How did you manage to tear a part of her stomach and corrupt her?" she asked angrily. "Corrupt her? Oh, you mean the dark vines. I kind of have a new power but this is no place to talk, please let's go" I responded."YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE YOU FUCKING IMBECILE. END ME I’M BEGGING YOU!" Hephzibah said as she started crying. Circe grabbed me by my shoulder. You need to finish what you started" she demanded. "No, whatever she did to me I am not killing her unless I have to. I have a heavy conscience as it is, I don't need blood in my hands. She decided to act like a horny or murderous -still haven't decided- bitch!" I bickered. "Show some fucking respect she is a daughter of sea itself, trust me if you do leave her like this, crying, horrified and corrupted what expects you is far worse than your conscience" she stated. "I'm willing to take that chance, she doesn't deserve anything from me, much less respect" I bleated. "Then let me do it" she asked "I just need your help, you know about my powers. I need you to hold my palms". I slowly touched her palms and with a smooth move she took them out of my hands revealing an old looking gun. "I call her Evelyn" Circe said smiling.
