Aphmau POV

My hearing decreased as the only thing I heard was the sound of the waves crashing against the rock down below as well as the thundering clouds releasing its anger on the surface of the Earth. The voices at the back of my head, they were telling me something, something that I couldn't quite catch. The whispers, the begging, the screeching, It feels wrong, I shouldn't be here. I feel like I'm doing something wrong by just standing here, but what can I do? No control. No power. Only the vulnerability and the useless strength.

If I had powers, if I was really powerful, then shouldn't I be able to at least defend myself? Shouldn't I be the strong person that I'm destined to be. If even a small insect is more powerful than me, then doesn't that mean I can easily be trampled over and thrown outside. How was I dragged into this, how was we dragged into some problem that we want nothing to do with.

I'm bad luck, I'm the one causing all these problems, I'm a killer, I killed my own blood brother, I never meant to, but I did, unintentionally.

The moon seemed to not give me strength, but it gave my body the power that it needs: but not for the right reason. A darkness clouded my body, my heart felt goodness, while I was manipulated by something... dark.

I walked towards the coffin staring down at it before bringing my hands out to use my powers to unlock it, it wasn't my actions, it was the darkness, the black cloud that always surrounded me but I ignored it.

"Aphmau! What are you doing? Do not open it!" Aaron shouted making my attention divert to his voice that seemed strong yet rigid.

I wish I could listen to him, I really do. I'm having an inner battle within the darkness and the light, the black, dark shadows over power me. But there is light somewhere, that one blotch of light that stayed there, but what is that light?

I slowly lifted the coffin, what I saw was completely horrendous. I tried keeping in the bile that tried escaping my throat, from the outside I look emotionless, but from the inside I look scared, witty, horrified, weak. The demon like skin, shelters the body from moving, clumps and scales poke out of the body entirely stiff, although the appearance may look absolutely disgusting the quantity and strength is magnificent, even by looking at it.

"Aphmau, Don't Do It!" This time it was Jason who called out. But why waste breath when you should know by now that would never really cooperate for me.

The only thing that was keeping me together was my love, my love for everyone, for...Laurance? Laurance was fighting without his powers making him lose in defeat. Just by willingly fighting is tough and courageous, which I admire. But is there any use to why he is fighting, he is wasting his energy for what? Shad, should never even be here, I don't know how they managed to actually get a hold of his coffin, but what seems like it, they had it this whole entire time.

I placed the palm of my hands onto the rough shell as my hand was glued onto the material. My hands stuck like super glue, it didn't budge. I tried pulling my hand with every right of my body that I used to have but it seemed the hard material melted with my touch. I was scared inside, frightened, anxious, all my negative emotions seemed to barge in again and let me take control of my body, it felt like I was in and out of control, I'm getting played by my emotions...by them.

By now I tried pulling my hands out but it sunken in further, it was a very thick shell with lots of layers so it would take some time to melt.

"Help! Please, I Don't Know What I'm Doing! I being controlled, Please!" I begged, I pleaded, yet my emotions finally was set free escaping like tiny bubbles floating in the air.

By now I was able to hear the evil cackles and laughs of Kole and the others as they finally won. This is it, this wasn't going to ever end, it will reign over the people who are going to be miserable for the rest of their lives. I've learnt that Shad, was never a good person, and he'll never be. He killed people, hundreds, thousands, millions, starting from day one to what the future beholds. I ruined everything, I was the one that was the destruction to everyone living on the planet. No CEO, No police, not even criminals would be able to face the wrath of Shad, he is the most powerful being living in this entire world, and to believe that my grandma, Irene, was just as powerful as him.

Great grandma never used her powers for bad, she fought against it, in return for the peace to finally be upon the land. Original vampires are the first most powerful supernatural beings ever living on this planet, but their strength is limited. Something happened during the time we've been here, Gene, Sasha, Lillian, Kole, even that Faerie, would've been dead or defeated, but somehow their powers have been tainted, and I've noticed that the small days that I've been around everyone they just seemed weak, Katelyn, Cadenza, Kawaii Chan, Laurance, Garroth, Zane, Dante, Travis, heck even Kiki, Emmalyn and Miguel looked like they were going to collapse any minute.

I gasped as my fingers touched something, someone's chest, someone's stiffly breathing chest. As soon as I touched the body I felt the cocoon like shell burst into sparks.

"N-No..." I whispered but it was too late.

He grabbed my wrist, so cold, so stiff, it instantly gave me the chills. The wind dropped as if cowering away from the bad aura radiating from the body. I followed the pale hands reaching someone who was thankfully clothed, my eyes trailed up frighteningly to finally reaching the palest skin that looked deadly yet so clear, his blood, red lips made me jump as it flinched slightly. I stared up at his closed eyes that has yet to move. The tension was killing me, it felt like time stopped as the world was catching up with the future. His eyes fluttered open revealing his cold, deadly, blue eyes that made me cower back into in fear,

"You're f-finally here!" Gene stuttered,

"N-N-No." Emmalyn shakily gasped.

Shad did something unexpected, something that I wished would never, ever happen to me. Something that pained so much I shattered into pieces.

He bit me.
