Later that evening, Evan and Ethan had dinner and as everybody was talking to each other, the two of them didn't speak a word. They still hated themselves, their mate was in pain and he was suffering. Neither of them could do anything about it, and they hated that. 

"Are you both okay?" Alex asked them. Evan looked up, self loathing in his eyes. 

"Kenzou is suffering... and we can't do a thing." Ethan scowled. Evan stood up. 

"I'll save him some dinner." He spoke. He went to the kitchen and served some of the food on a tray, only light foods. He filled a cup with water and went back to the dining room, nodding at Ethan. Ethan stood up and the two teens went to the boy's room. 

When they opened the door, their eyes widened. The 16 year-old had his tail and his eyes were glowing magenta. He turned to the teens, his eyes big and full of confusion. His glasses rested over his eyes and his shirt was on the other side of the room. He was balancing on his tail and his teeth looked like they could rip through flesh. 

"Evan, Ethan." He whispered. A smile came to his face and, balancing on his tail, he moved up to the two. He looked into their eyes. 

"K-Kenzou?" They both asked concurrently. He tilted his head. 

"I know what I am now..." He spoke quietly. "I am a monster. That's what I am!" He beamed at them. The poor boy sounded like he was going insane.

"Kenzou." Evan spoke.

"Mm?"

"Why are you giving us fake smiles? Your eyes are full of pain." He told the young boy with no emotion. At that moment, Kenzou's smile disappeared and he crouched on his tail to the floor. 

"It hurts.... I hate it, Evan..." He looked up at them with blood running down his face from his eyes and ears. His breathing loud and tears mixed with the blood. "Everything is ringing!!" He screamed. 

"LaYLAAA!" Ethan called to the woman. She came running in and rushed to Kenzou as he cried and screamed on the floor with blood running from his ears and eyes. After getting him to the bed and running experiments on the young boy, her hand covered her  mouth. 

"I was wrong.." She turned around and looked at the boys, Alex and Cameron ran in as well. "Everybody, make noise! Make as much noise as you can! Now!" She yelled. The teens began to hit the walls, shout, yell and even howl. But Evan stood there, mortified. Why? Why?! 

Kenzou writhed there in pain. He cried and cried. "Stop it! Stop it! It's too loud! Please, PLEASE, PLEASE!" He sat up and then he screamed as a Banshee.

"PLEASE STOP IT!" 

Kenzou's POV:

I lay on the bed, my ears and eyes in pain. I felt like I was back with my mother, the pain wouldn't stop and nor would the noise. I kept on pleading and begging for them to stop making the noise. But nothing would work. Nothing. The ringing in my ears now sounded like static, and it was filling my head with painful noise. I sobbed. 

"Stop it! Stop it! It's too loud! Please, PLEASE, PLEASE!" I screamed. They kept on making the sound louder. I couldn't even hear my voice anymore over all of the noise. It got louder and louder, the blood ran down from my ears. I decided to do something, something to make them stop.

I screamed as a Banshee. "PLEASE STOP IT!!" I covered my ears and screamed as loud as I could. After 20 seconds, I stopped, but I wasn't out of breath this time. Looking around, my eyes widened. Everything was quiet and I couldn't hear a single thing anymore.

"Evan, Ethan..." I spoke, not sure if it was loud or not. Their mouths moved as if they were replying with the affirmative of a 'yes' or a 'what?'. 

I opened my mouth to say something, but decided against it. I couldn't tell them, at least not yet, at least not now. I couldn't cause them more trouble than what I actually was. 

"KeNZoU." I turned to my right to see Limbo. How could I hear him...?

"Yeah?" I asked. 

"ArE yOu okAy?" He asked, I nodded.

I guess that's that, I know how to use my tail, I can scream like a Banshee and I am deaf. How much worse can this be? 

I looked at Evan's lips, he mouthed the words 'tv?' and I responded with a slow nod. The others walked out of the room. Evan, Ethan and I walked over to the couch in the room. I moved my bag to the floor and Ethan turned on the giant flat screen tv and we first saw the news. It was about a missing boy. I couldn't hear it but I looked at the subtitles. It was me. I was a missing teen.

I was on the news. 

I looked up at Evan. "Will I have to go to school, now?" I asked, or at least I think I did. 

He glanced at Ethan and then said something that I couldn't read his lips to understand. he was speaking to fast. I could only try and guess that what he said was a good thing, because I was only able to nod uncertain. I turned my attention back to the tv, Evan had already put in a movie. The homescreen came on and it looked like a horror movie. 

I hated horror movies.

I was always scared easily. l wanted to say something but I didn't want to talk to the twins without not knowing what they were going to say. So I could only watch. Eventually a jumpscare came and I screamed.  I was scared. I screamed extremely loud due to the twins covering their ears. The tv turned off and I got a glimpse of my reflection. The pupils of my eyes were the size of pinpricks and my teeth were sharp like a vampire's. Vermilion scales made their way up the sides of my face. My mouth was wide opened as I screamed, almost inhuman. 

I really am a monster after all. 

I stopped screaming and I hugged Ethan, Evan joined in and we just stayed there hugging each other as I sobbed silently. I think I was about to fall asleep because I was in the giant bed with the two twins hugging me as we fell asleep.

They made noise in hopes of stopping the Demon blood. His senses were enhanced because the Naga and Banshee DNA were fighting with the Demon blood. 

Kind of like, killing off the Demon blood - if that makes any sense? Probably not. They were trying to stop it fighting the DNA or something like that. Not sure if I am making sense or not.
