aviour 2

The boys walked into the factory, and the metallic smell of blood immediately filled their noses.

The emptied factory seemed very old with rusted metal pillars, dusty old scrap metal and a lot more floating in the air. There was a trail of blood which led off from the entrance up to a flight of stairs.

“Stay close”, Tolo warns them while slowly following it.

They reached the second floor and saw a young girl lying down by the corner. She had long black hair, almond eyes with layers of baggage, her skin pale like a glossy moon.

She wore what looked to be a large red gown, but on closer inspection, the red colour stained her white gown from the amount of blood she had lost. Her head bent downwards as held onto her right arm and took laboured breaths.

She looked over with heavy eyes and just began weeping, she then stretched her left hand to them. She was shaking, Tolo ran over to her, held her hand and checked her pulse.

“Her heart is beating very slowly”.

His eyes began to glow as he held onto her, and she began to pant a bit quicker.

“Will she be okay?”, Kean asks.

“I…don’t think so, her wounds are far too severe even for me to heal at the point that she's at”.

The girl let out a tiny squeal before bowing down her head and letting out one final breath.

Tolo slowly puts down her hand and then darts back to the twins saying "Mission failed boys but we have a new one, exterminate the demon".

“Demon??”, Kean asked.

In the blink of an eye, something rammed into the three of them sending them backwards. They managed to all land safely, steadying themselves on the light metal floor.

In front of them stood a complete replica of the one who just passed but her skin was even paler and filled with more wrinkles, her hair dropped down to her face leaving only her musty deep black eyes and her uncomfortable wide smile visible.

"Umm…Tolo what's happening right now?!", Kean says.

"Well you see when a human dies after living unfulfilled, negative or sorrowful life filled with pain and suffering, they undergo something called the Lucifer’s Curse”.

“Instead of dying and joining us in the spirit realm, they turn into demons which haunt and terrorize here and we have to destroy her soul before they can do any harm, this is just one of the many ways demons are born".

"Isn't there a way to save her? We can't just kill her off”, Kinea says in a worried tone.

"Sadly, no. This is the only way, we can't have her causing harm to anybody.".

Tolo looks back at the twins, noticing their worried gaze, “This is what you signed up for boys, there's no other way”.

The demon then begins to rapidly clone itself, making more than twenty replicas of itself. Their hands became bigger about the size of a tennis racket and grew black razor-sharp claws, her teeth sharpened like razors and their bodies grew larger, stronger.

“You should be able to hold your own against them, more or less. I’ve thought you enough in these six months and you’ve got a steady understanding of Spiritual energy so try not to die out there”.

They dash at them from all angles. One of them then dashes to Kinea, he uses his arms to block then grabs it by the head and knees it. He is however slashed from the back by another one, he turns back and lands a clean kick to it's abdomen.

One of them hits him in the stomach causing him to fly into the wall but without rest three more dart towards him with speed.

Tolo dashed at a crown of them, landing strong blows and kicks. He was taking on about five at the same time with ease.

Another dashes at Kean and goes through his legs and behind him, slashing at his right leg and his back. He turns back manages to sweep it off its feet but is attacked by two others which slam him through the second story down to the first floor.

A clone darts down at him almost landing a clean blow but he manages to roll over, evading it on time before springing himself off with his hands and landing a kick to its jaw but after which two more came pinning him to the floor.

A black fog started coming out of their mouth, it began covering up the whole building which impeded their vision. By the time it was cleared, both the twins were knocked unconscious and the clones were all centered on Tolo.

The twins woke up inside a small lifeless apartment, dirty dishes in the sink, broken and burnt light bulbs, dusty and broken floors and old broken pieces of furniture. 

“Where the hell have we spawned to now??”, Kean questions.

“Who the h-“, Kinea replied before being cut off by a sound.

Screaming, shouting and hitting. All coming from a room in front of them, they look at each other and start slowly walking towards the room.

The room was empty, no furniture, bed, mirror and not more than one small window for ventilation. At the center, they could see was a fat middle-aged man was beating a young girl with broken bottles and glass shardsbeside them, the room smelled vaguely of alcohol and a bit like blood. She was screaming in pain yelling "Father, father!! I'm sorry! I’m sorry!! Please stop!!”.

The man was ruthless, his hairy arms swung on her with power, uncoordinated, just letting out pure frustration. He yelled "Your the cause, you bitch!".

”Please dad I’m in pain, I’m in pain!!”.

Then the girl appears behind them tapping both of them, they turn back and see her smiling sheepishly at them.

She then walks to her couch, sits on it and pats it signifying for them to sit down.

The boys looked at each other and nod, they then go sit beside her. "Her name was Olivia Jackson. She grew up with only her dad as her mom died at a young age, leaving her with only him. He was a good man until his factory failed.He lost everything and lead to a life of gambling and drinking then he started harming his own daughter".

“On the days where his fathers would bring his friends, they would do unspeakeable things to the young girl and her father wouldn't bat an eye”.

"After she couldn't take it anymore, she ran away at the brink of dawn but got into a car accident which left her seriously injured. The driver didn't even take a moment to look out for her, he only drove off leaving her for dead. Same goes for the few people who saw the accident”.

“She then retreated to her dad's old factory, where she played as a child with her beloved father, the father she remembers having. She didn't want this, she didn't want to die but no one in the world seemed to care about her."

"How this world can be cruel?? Is this really humanity?? She hadn't even clocked the age of ten yet".

"Why?!", Kinea questioned gritting his teeth.

"Why are you saying it like you aren't this girl?!".

"Because I'm not, not anymore at least", she says in a calm voice.

Kean bowed his head, covering his eyes.

"Do you now see how cruel this world is??", she asks.

“She didn't want her life to end, she didn't want to die, she…she…I wanted to live”.

A short moment of silence enveloped the room, no one really knew what to say, what to think.

”What if?! What if we change things??”, Kean asked her.

”Yeah…even if it seems impossible, we will find a solution”.

“If it’s you too, maybe you can change this cruel world but is it a promise??”.

The twins nodded their heads and say “We won’t fail you Olivia”.

She then gets up and looks at them with pride, smiling at them saying "Then I’ll trust you two, I can feel it in your souls, they're strong. You will be the Saviours of Humanity".

He body then slowly begins to wither away, “Seems like I'm going forever now, thank you for chatting with me. Make sure not to forget me when you're saving the world, okay?!”.

The boys then wake up at the back of the factory and see Tolo burying a corpse.

Their injuries were seemingly healed and they went sluggish over to Tolo who stood over a small makeshift grave.

"Did you kill..", Kean inquires.

Tolo simply looked at them and nodded, tears slowly ran down the cheeks of both of the twins.

“She…didn't deserve to die”, Kean says.

"Such is Lucifer's curse. Once you don't die at peace, you destroy the world as a demon", Tolo says.

He continues saying "A Bishops work isn't to be played with, it's hard and dangerous but worst of all it's…sad but we must keep doing it to keep order”.

“Anyways I’d say this was a good bit of experience, let's head back”.

“Do you not care??”, Kean asks.

Tolo just looks back at him and shrugs before saying “You gotta get used to this”.

"What does it mean to be…Saviour Of Humanity?", Kinea quietly says.
