Thread: A Key To Victory (Dies/Devxx)

Kiyara let the older demon take charge as she followed closely behind him. Any thoughts of a quiet night were gone from her head as she thought of the ensuing destruction that would follow. They'd give these kids a prom that the town would remember for a very very long time. There was an electricity in the air as if the nature around them knew that something big was going to happen tonight. Oh, I think we'll be having plenty of fun tonight. She licked her lips at the prospects of what was was about to come. With any luck they'd make Sodom and Gomorrah look like paradise when they were through. She watched him with interest as he pulled out the coin and flicked it in the air. Her eyes followed the shiny metal as it slowly made its spiral back to Earth. She wondered what the reaction of the students down in the auditorium would have been if they knew their entire lives depended on a coin flip. While she wasn't shy of torture it was Cesario who seemed to turn it into an actual art form. The demon was feared even in hell with what kind of twisted punishments he could think up. Tails. The students are yours and the angel is mine. She looked up at him with a grin as the anticipation began to build inside of her. Walking next to him she watched as he talked to the teacher blocking the entrance. Lifting a neatly manicured hand to her mouth she tried to cover her smile as she watched the scene before her unfold. The pathetic human had no idea who he was talking to but he'd learn soon enough. She actually found pleasure in watching Cesario work, it was like watching a master painter work on his latest project. Taking the hint she looked over at the other woman who was taking the tickets. Her own eyes became a clouded white as her fingernails extended to razor sharp claws and she brought them down on the girl before she even had a chance to register what was happening. They hadn't even been at the school for more then five minutes and already the body count was three. Leaving Cesario to deal with the rest of them she made her way inside to where the other students were gathered. The demon could feel the presence of the angel somewhere in the room. No doubt she was trying to hide from them in the crowd of people but it wasn't going to work. As her eyes peered over the masses of students in dresses and suits they finally landed on a flash of red and yellow. In the middle of the crowd was a small blond girl with a red headed boy. The blond was the obvious angel and from the way she was holding onto the human Kiyara could only assume that was their target. The crowd seemed to part for her as she made her way towards them, almost as if they could feel the dark energy coming off of her. Mind if I cut in? Her voice was sweet but there was a danger that lurked there unlike anything the angel had probably experienced. They needed the boy alive but it would be a shame not to send the angel back to heaven where she belonged. The wicked grin back on her face as she looked at the girl the way a tiger would a mouse. This was going to be fun. -------------- Aiden smiled as he felt her hug him, glad that with just her presence around things seemed to be more peaceful. The feel of her hand in his brought a small blush to his face as he could feel his palms getting sweaty. He'd been friends with Viola for a while but even he couldn't help but notice how breathtaking she looked in her dress. Over the past year his feelings for her had developed into something more then just friendship and tonight would be the night he finally told her. As his friends entered the auditorium it seemed to him like he was on cloud nine. He was at his prom with a girl he cared about and surrounded by his friends. There was no way anything could go bad. Aiden winced slightly as a sharp pain passed over him out of nowhere. There had been a few times he'd had that pain though this was the strongest he had ever felt it. It was always the same, like a dagger being put through his heart. Usually it lasted only a few seconds but he had to grit his teeth for a minute before it finally passed. Swallowing hard he tried not to let it show on his face. Most of his friends didn't know about his problems and he didn't need them worrying about him or worse yet being scared of him. The doctors were already convinced that he was crazy and he didn't need the few people in his life that he cared about to think that too. A grateful look passed over him as Viola grabbed his hand and asked him to dance. I'd love to. He said with a grin as she led him into the middle of the dance floor and they started swaying with the music. Everything was so perfect now and he wanted to hold onto this moment for the rest of his life. Yet in the back of his head he could feel a buzzing as if somehow he was being disconnected from the world around him. The music and chatter of the other students seemed to fade away and he could only hear one other voice. This voice in particular was asking if she could cut in. Turning around he came face to face with a young girl who looked to be about his age. She was pretty but he hadn't ever seen her in school before. Yet the thing that struck him the most was that her eyes were a clouded white like someone had poured milk into a glass of water. Next to him he could feel Viola tense up as if something big was about to happen. It was almost like sparks were flying between the two girls, like two comets that were about to collide in the night sky and leave nothing but destruction in their wake. Aiden felt himself being pulled into two opposite directions between the two of them. Viola gave off a warm aura and she was comforting him but he was drawn to the new girl and the energy around her like a moth to a flame. Who-who are you? He asked in a shaky voice as the pain in his chest started to get stronger. He could feel himself getting breathless and the world around him was starting to spin. Everything was a blur of color and white noise except for the two girls next to him Just what the hell was going on here?
