VERGLAS (Complete)

TURNED INTO MONSTER

“DAPHNEEE…..”

This is the last thing I said before everything turns into slow motion around me. It felt like someone mute the volume and watching the show in silence, all he need is a bucket of popcorn as it is just a trailer.  The most pathetic thing a guy can do is to hit a woman, and abuse her, and force her to do the thing she will never seen in her dreams even. Well, I have been a witness to all these things because I am the one who had suffered from the consequences and still suffering. My life is in total chaos, but I am acting fine, like everything still working properly.

My train of thoughts gets down from the tracks by the sound of a mirror getting crashed, to be honest, I thought of something negative but to my dismay; it is actually one of the guy’s head that is hit in rear mirror. Holy cow! Wait! Wait! What is happening around me? Okay, stepping back to reality. Daphne" Where is she? I remember that they hurt her because an asshole punched her in the face.

I focus on the brawl which is happening outside the car and I saw Daphne combating alone with those pricks. She is looking like a warrior who is kicking their asses. I wonder when she punches and kicks in air and those blows on their mud faces; I thought for a second that I am probably watching an action movie on a T.V. until my eyes landed on that one guy. His eyes penetrating deep into mine, and I can feel the upcoming threat which is making its way to me. I immediately check the locks, I lock them again to be safe. A relief washes over me, but not for too long.

Dylan Approaches the car and blows a punch on the side tempered glass which is shattered into pieces. I got down into the horror as Dylan opens the door with no effort. He pulls me outside by grabbing my legs, and he keeps a deaf ear on my screams. I fall down with the thud, and crying because of the immense pain coursing through my leg, but still this asshole keep dragging me on the ground like I am a f*****g rag doll to him. I constantly cry for help but Daphne is already handling four other guys, and I can sense the tension in the atmosphere. She is not weak but not too strong to handle attacks from all of them; as she is giving her 100% to save both of us.

I scream at top of my lungs, “Daphneee..” and she looks back at me with a shocked expression on her face, she tries to save me but those assholes start hitting and assaulting her, and she lost her focus because I distracted her. One guy blows a hit on her head, which start to bleed profusely and she falls on her back, slowly closing her eyes.

No! This can’t be happening. Daphne can’t leave me, she is way stronger than anyone else. I can’t let that happen. I won’t let that happen. I feel my breaths fading in air, even though I’m breathing heavily. I feel my sight getting blur, and a darkness covering my eyes, consuming me completely inside of it. Something in me died at the moment, but something came out alive too.

My body is not in my control anymore. Suddenly I feet an outburst of energy inside of me as my hands made its way to grab Dylan’s neck and it only gets tighter around his throat. His eyes pops out as he realizes he is choking because of lack of air, but one of his friend pushes him aside to save his life. My anger elevates on his friend's little act and my blood boils, but my hands turned cold.

I stand on my feet immediately and follow them; I could not feel the pain in my thigh anymore, I guess maybe the level of adrenaline is high in my veins. I observe the surrounding and notice that all five of them encircle around me. I saw Daphne’s body lying down on the bare ground; my blood evaporates when i see these motherfuckers who dared to kill her. That was enough fuel to charge my anger. My body started to turn white, and nails grows sharp and razor like talons and the dye of my hair fade and replaced my shiny silvery lustrous locks back. I have no idea what exactly I am turning into and I don’t care anymore, because all I know is that I have to avenge Daphne's death.

 I howled an ear-piercing scream, which made all of them cover their ears by hands. I started to chant something in an alienated language, which I can’t even understand except the lipping part. A light fog started to appear, unwrapping my whole body with it; I realise that it is an aura emitted by my own body. The more I chant, the aura radiates more from my body.

I have no control on my body, and it feels like it threw me into the back of my mind, and made me watch what’s happening around me. Soon the chanting is over and my body blasts a ball of energy at them. It hits on one’s leg and his leg start to freeze. He trips over to the ground, and not able to stand; he looks at me with pleading eyes, but I have no intention of showing mercy at him. I don’t understand why is he doing this but soon I get it what exactly happening.

I am turned into a killing machine, the thing I never thought of becoming, not even in my wildest dreams. I tried to stop myself from killing these guys but it's too late now; I cannot take control back anymore.

I step onto his frozen leg and crush it by stomping on it. He screams in pain as the leg got broke into pieces like a vase gets shattered into pieces. The blood in his legs is freezed like an ice and not a single drop of blood came out from the crushed leg but there is a red river flows out from the part of his leg, which is left now.

Other remaining four preys of mine got scared and keep screaming and running for their lives. I run fast as a train and jump in front of one of them; he gasps to see me and I lift him in air from his neck, my talons like nails digs deeper into his skin, and soon I freeze him and leave him to die. I look at him for few seconds and start looking for the remaining ones like a predators hunting for its prey. I saw one hiding behind a tree, a wicked smile forms on my lips. Within a fraction of a second, I stood in front of him. He saw himself in my eyes, how terrified he was looking, “why so scared now? You were so amused when you and your mutts beating my friend to death, few minutes ago? Let me give you some taste of your own toxic blood” I taunt him and cups his face with both hands and digs my nails into his temples, he falls down with a thud as I freeze his brain out, and a little fog imminent from his mouth.

After wandering deep into the forest, I finally found the one I was looking for, Dylan. He looks so terrorised, frightened and running carefully around the trees, hoping that I won’t burst out from anywhere. Exhausted from all this running, he took a rest behind a large trunk tree, presuming that I won’t find him there. Bastard! he has no idea.

I am not even trying to stop my body from doing all these horrible acts; as I feet good when the blood spill, actually. The blood fuels my energy, I started to feel stronger and powerful, and I love it. I am frustrated with this cat & mouse game; so we aren’t playing a game anymore, this is a situation of life and death, of course death and I have to end this.

I cannot resist myself, so I show up on the battlefield. I laugh like a maniac and chant a rhyme, “the itsy bitsy spider went into the forest deep, he lost in there and hide like coward sheep, a danger lurking into the shadows come and shows up, the itsy bitsy spider got scared, killed and his heart beating in my hands, up. Boo!” I introduced myself with the little song and Dylan screams at top of his lungs. 

He cries, “I am sorry for hurting you and your friend, I admit that I committed a horrendous mistake I won’t do that again. I will not even take an advantage of a woman, again. Please spare me, please forgive me. I will do whatever you say.” he mumbles between his sobs..

“You will do whatever I say to you?” I ask in determination, and he nods his head and I ask, “Okay! Give me your heart and i will spare your life.” 

His eyes widen in shock, dripping in pure terror, he babbled, ‘w..wha..t? mmm..yy hea…rt??”

“Yes your heart, I want it.” I glare him, and he looks confuse and chuckles which turns into a series of short laughs.

 He laughs for a while, “you know what, I am not afraid to die, and one of my man left already while you were looking for me. I knew that you are looking for me and will come to me like a killer, so I decided to be the centre of distraction. My messenger would have informed everyone now and they will be on their ways.” He winked at me and my anger burst out, I was so furious that I grab his neck and dig my nails deep in his chest, penetrating to his heart. 

To my shock, he did not scream at any moment and says, “You have killed a prince, you messed with a kingdom, they will come to hunt you down, Ice queen.” I pulled his heart out and his eyes left the soul. Still figuring out what did he said.

The adrenaline in my body drops down, regaining my senses, I look for a way to run, only realising that his heart is in my hands, still beating. I screamed and drops his heart on the ground, tried to run but my knees weakens and I fall down.

My mind is about to explode as I felt extreme pain. Again I lost control and my eyes become heavy. They were closing slowly but back in my mind, I heard a voice, screaming my name, “Eira.” My vision blurred and the darkness surrounds me, completely engulfing me in it.
