Victim 3

Ignis looks back in Sebastian's direction but he's fully enveloped in darkness, Sebastian still watches on through Ignis's eyes but is powerless to do anything. Ignis enters the home and a man stands up from the couch looking over and his eyes widen,

"Holy...holy shit! You're Ignis aren't you? Oh god!" The man stumbles back and Ignis laughs pointing the flamethrower at him and the man runs towards the back of the house.

"Please no! I haven't done anything! I don't deserve this!" The man yells and fiddles with the back door and runs into his backyard, sprinting straight for the fence. Ignis calmly approaches and grabs the man, throwing him down onto the ground. The man backs up into his fire pit and whimpers.

"End of the line," Ignis says, pointing the flamethrower and squeezing the trigger. Sebastian watches on in horror through Ignis's perspective. Ignis nods to himself and walks into the living room, burning his name into the wall. Sebastian feels his head spin, and the whole world spins. His vision grows fuzzy, and he blacks out.

As the birds chirp in the morning Sebastian holds his head and stumbles out of bed groaning. He turns to see Ignis in the corner of his room and he jumps back,

So last night wasn't a nightmare? Sebastian thinks to himself and Ignis stands up chuckling.

"Hey, kid. You're awake huh? You had quite the night...Maybe you need some coffee?" Ignis asks and Sebastian responds,

"Ew, no way. I hate coffee" Sebastian says and Ignis laughs nodding

Sebastian looks over at Ignis again and tries to formulate the words he wants to ask.

"Why...I mean...I...What" Sebastian stumbles over his own words but Ignis nods, understanding what he's asking,

"I want you to follow in my footsteps kid, I need you to be Ignis. Fully embrace who I am and become me." Ignis says and Sebastian shakes his head

"No, I will not continue on with your sick fantasy! These are human lives! They don't deserve to die! Nobody deserves to die!" Sebastian yells and Ignis steps closer to him.

"Good and bad are two sides of the same coin, something you consider to be bad some consider to be good. I am cleansing this world in fire, what I do...It's purposeful. In my eyes, I am doing a good act." Ignis gets louder and then sighs, stepping back slightly before continuing.

"Look kid, you don't have a choice. I can't tell you why yet, but for now you're stuck with me." Ignis walks back over to the corner.

"Who was he?" Sebastian asks and Ignis looks up and shrugs

"No clue," Ignis says

"Bull, you know him. You could've chosen anyone, why him?" Sebastian asks

"Silas Goltengale, a man who'd hit women back in the day," Ignis says and stares out the window.

"So that's what you are? Some vigilante?" Sebastian asks and Ignis laughs and shakes his head,

"No kid. I enjoy burning people alive, I'm just your typical crazy serial killer" Ignis says

"Nothing normal about you. How are you able to do the supernatural things you do?" Sebastian asks

"I told you, I'm an ang-" Ignis is cut off by Sebastian waving his hand dismissively and nodding,

"Yeah, Yeah. An angel or so you say" Sebastian looks to Ignis who nods

Sebastian rubs his eyes and walks out of his room, Ignis phases through the wall and walks behind him, Sebastian's mom looks over and smiles.

"Morning honey! I made you some breakfast, scrambled eggs, and some orange juice, oh, and a nice side of bacon!" She smiles and walks back into the kitchen cleaning up.

Sebastian smiles and sits down starting to chow down, Ignis looks over to his mom and stares,

"Hey, no funny ideas" Sebastian whispers and Ignis turns to him holding up his hands in defense.

"Wasn't thinking of that kid, your mom is as sweet as they come. I'd never lay an ember on her. You have my word" Ignis says sounding almost offended.

His mom walks over and sits down where Ignis is sitting, he transforms into a puff of smoke and transfers over to another chair.

"Just terrible, what a monster" His mom mumbles while holding the newspaper and reading about Ignis, Ignis looks over and stares at the ground looking like a child who just was scolded by their mother, Sebastian raises an eyebrow but stays quiet.

His mom sighs, sets the newspaper down, and turns to Sebastian smiling,

"Honey I know you're on break but you should still be studying, aren't finals soon after you get back to college?"  She asks and Sebastian nods

"Yeah...I'll get to it, I need to take a walk and clear my head," Sebastian says before standing up and thanking her for the food. He puts his shoes on and waves her goodbye,

"Be back before dark!" His mom yells and he nods, stepping out into the street, Ignis right behind him.
