I'm A Monster (Part 2)

One Shot #25 (Cont.)

Maui's POV

 I try to get myself to move from my current position, but I can't. Shock has frozen me solid in place. Damn it. Get over it Maui. Moana needs your help. You need to free her of that awful demon. I search high and low in all of the village caves. Nothing. I then decide to check our secret hideout on a whim. My instincts turn out to be correct and I find the demon... Moana... in the cave her and I go to when we need some alone time. "Moana..." I say. The demon jumps up at the mention of her name. She hisses fire at me, hitting me right in the heart, literally. I clutch my chest and begin fighting her with what little strength I have. 

   As I fight her, I try to get through to my baby girl. "Moana, I know you're in there somewhere. Please come back to me. I miss you. I love you. I can't do this without you."  A tear slips down my cheek, but I don't wipe it away because I know more are going to come anyway. The demon that has taken over Moana doesn't seem to care about my feelings because it sends another blast of fire directly at my heart. This time, the fire burns through my skin. I yell at the top of my lungs and fall to the ground. The pain becomes too much and I eventually pass out.

Moana's POV

  In my demon form, I watch Maui to the ground. If I were able to express emotions, I'd be having an emotional breakdown. I hurt Maui. I shot a fireball that struck him in the heart. Because of me, he has third degree burns that will take a long time to heal. Not to mention, he's lying on the ground unconscious. I feel his wrist to see if he still has a pulse. Relief overcomes me as I feel one. It's faint, but it's there. I'm thankful he's alive. If I had killed him, I would have killed myself. I love him so much, but after how I've hurt him, he'll probably never want to talk to me again. I wouldn't blame him.  

   That's why I ran away from Maui. I didn't want him to come after me and get hurt, yet that's exactly what he did. I know that he loves me, but I don't want him near me when I'm like this. I could easily hurt my parents and the rest of my village too. I could possibly even kill them. If I hurt anyone else, I'm going to leave Montonui. That's why I'm praying that Maui won't tell anyone about this. Exhaustion of all things takes over me and I end up falling into a deep sleep. Though, I don't have dreams, but rather a series of nightmares. I'm oddly pleased by this. After all, I deserve this mental torment. 

Hope that you guys liked this part of this one shot! I know the idea behind it is rather strange, but it popped into my head last night and I knew I had to write a one shot for it. :) -Mary
