Monster Chapter Eight
Daiki fell backwards when he heard the fire of a bullet. His eyes wide while he tried to figure out where the sound came from. It was close to him, that's one thing he knew, but he wasn't sure where.
Another fire rang through the trees.
Daiki stood up from the ground and started to move towards the gun shots. It might be his father. Kouhei hated killing animals and using weapons besides when he chopped things up in the kitchen.
"Father! Kouhei!" Daiki shouted with his hands cupped around his mouth. The suspense he was feeling was almost unbearable as it felt like someone was squeezing his chest and lungs tightly and not giving any sign of letting go.
"Natsumi!!" He yelled even louder as he stumbled through the woods mindlessly. His desperation was still evident in his voice but he didn't care. They had to be safe. They just had to be!
He felt something inside him burst and this was nothing he has ever felt before. Whatever was clawing inside him had finally escaped through his blazing emotions.
Daiki's vision blurred to red and his pants turned ragged. He felt lost. He felt out of control.
Daiki's senses were heightened as he now followed the noise. He could hear scuffling in front of him and he inhaled deeply.
A familiar sent.
His tongue ran along his teeth and he found that he seemed to have two teeth elongated and sharp. Something happened to him yet he was no longer afraid. He was dangerous.
Father had his shotgun rested against his shoulder as he shot at the creatures in front of him. A swarm was chattering around him as he continued to shoot. Kouhei had a frying pan and was swatting them away while Natsumi stared at everything horrified. All of them were beaten up and bruised like an apple after it's been dropped...multiple times.
Daiki had energy radiating off of his skin, prickling at his finger tips down to his toes. He could see the demons reaching out towards Natsumi and she didn't seem to see them because she was perfectly still in shock and absolute terror.
Daiki went on a rampage as he tackled them both. His teeth digging deep into ones jugular and ripping it out. He spat the chunk on the ground as his vision melted to a deeper red. Blood was coating his chin and splattered on his cheek.
The other demon that was still moving clawed his eye and Daiki howled in pain before he closed his hand over the creatures throat squeezing tightly. The crunching of bones sounded as he held on tight. A delightful smile grew on his face when he seen this demon grow still and unmoving. It felt right.
His hand released and the demon dropped like a sack of potatoes and Daiki turned towards Natsumi, "Are you real? Is it really you?"
Natsumi's eyes were wide and mortified. All she could do was whisper, "What happened t-to you...?"
His smile grew, but he didn't dare answer. Instead, he stalked towards her, eyes glowing red and blood covering him.
Natsumi took a stepped back from him and then another, "Daiki...don't...don't come near me."
He was dumbfounded and his smile turned into a frown. He stared at her through the darkness while his father continued to shoot his gun. Natsumi felt almost paralyzed by his eyes. Red eyes. Those eyes brought her back to that horrific night when her parents were slaughtered. Mauled by those eyes.
She choked up, "Daiki, st-stay away from me."
"Why?" He took another step forward. He was becoming enraged and confused. He just saved her life twice now and she wanted nothing to do with him?
Daiki snarled, "Why don't you want me fucking near you!?"
Blood trickled into his eye and he had fo wipe it away. The demon he killed slashed at his eye but luckily only got the skin and not the eye itself.
His Father was now using the butt of the gun to hit the little demons. They all dissolved to a black dust when they were killed almost like ash.
"Daiki!" Kouhei cried as he battled one of them that was biting down on his shoulder. He stumbled back but tripped over a root.
He turned away from Natsumi and towards his brother and saw blood oozing from the things mouth. He didn't run but walked over to his brother. Daiki's nose shriveled, baring his fangs right before he reached out to grab the small demon by its head.
Crunch!
The demon turned to dust in his hand and Kouhei stared at him in shock, "Demon! F-Father! There's a big demon!" He shouted in fear.
Daiki felt himself boil, "I'm your damn brother! Not a fucking demon!" He tried to get ahold of himself before he would do something he'd regret. So instead he went to the hoard of smaller demons and began to kill them. One. By. One.
His Father simply watched him with the gun in his hand. Daiki tore, slashed, and mauled the creatures until he stood in the middle of their ashes and blood. There was nothing his Father could say. Everyone was staring at him like he was some sort of monster.
His chest rose up and down as he panted. Kouhei was still on the ground with blood dripping down from the bite on his shoulder, and Natsumi made her way to him.
"Daiki," his Father began to say, "Are you alright?"
Daiki glanced at his father who reached out to him and places his hand on his shoulder.
"What do you mean?" The red in his vision slowly faded away until it was finally clearer. His mind was no longer foggy like it was before and he took in what he saw. All the horrified faces. However, the fangs and sharp nails were still there.
"Nothing happened to you?" His Father asked him slowly.
Tears began to prick at the corner of Daiki's eyes when he realized what he'd done, "Father...what am I?" He felt like he swallowed rocks, "Why am I like this?"
Father inhaled deeply, "We will talk about it when we get home."
"No!" Daiki pushed his Fathers hand off his shoulder, "We'll talk about it now! What am I!?" He felt panicked.
"You two go back to the house."
Daiki watched Natsumi and Kouhei immediately get up and disappear in the dark, which left him alone with his father.
Both of them waited until they were alone, but Daiki lost all his patience. He looked down at his blackened nails and pressed his tongue against his fangs. Inhuman his mind screamed but he didn't want to think about it.
Father cleared his throat, "I didn't want to tell you yet..." he brought his fingers to his face and rubbed his now tired eyes, "I didn't think this would ever happen."
"What would ever happen?" Daiki needed his questions answered. He no longer wanted to remain in the dark.
His Father grimaced when he spoke, "I'm not your biological Father, Daiki."
Daiki felt his heart drop, "What...what do you mean you're not my Father? Then who is my Father?" Daiki held his head in disbelief as his nails pricked his skin.
"Your Father is a demon..."
