Rebuilt Trust // PROJECT SEKAI // Nefarious Hell Part 2 [CANCELED]

06 : Outted In The Worst Way Possible

I genuinely wish I knew a bit more about it before hand.

It wasn't just that one time I used it either. When I was (unfortunately) allies with Mal, aka Ayuna's stupid vampire cult thing, I was forced into using dark magic since they didn't have a vampire who knew how to use it.

The amount of people who were forced to do things I didn't know was even possible haunts me to this day. The way the vampires took advantage of this ability unknowing of how terrible it was.

They made me use the magic to control whatever human stumbled by to be killed and eaten by the vampires. It was sickening. Not only that, the amount of people who looked at me for help because they knew who I was.

They knew who I was because of Tsukasa.

That's what pained me the most. I never even helped them. They suffered there and I didn't even flinch. I looked at it as if it were the most amazing sight I had ever seen.

The heads of people and citizens being sliced off clean. The limbs of humans being eaten right in front of my eyes by the vampires. The screams I heard right infront of me.. and I stood there like a fucking monster.

And because of that, I don't even know if my ability would be consider my  ability.

"R-Rui..?" Tsukasa mutters, barely opening his eyes to turn and look at me. He looked tired.

I glance over at him, bringing a soft smile to my face. "Hm?" I respond.

"Why are you..." He yawns. "..up?"

I shrug. "My body woke me up randomly, my apologies, Tsukasa-kun. Go back to bed." I place a small kiss on his forehead before he turned back around.

The same eyes he just looked at me with were the ones that saw me try to kill him.

I gulp, sinking down into the blanket and shutting my eyes quickly. Stop thinking about it. Stop.

Oh. Right.

Another thing about dark magic.

It gives you the undying thirst for blood. No, not the thirst to drink it. I'm saying "undying thirst for blood" metaphorically. I don't genuinely mean you want to drink it, I mean that you want to kill anyone that stands in your way. Which makes me wonder.

How the hell was I allowed into this castle's walls after everything..?

Who knows, and who cares. As long as I don't lose control, I'll be okay.

"Did you hear that Rui's back? Alive and well too." Nene mutters, sounding a bit distraught.

I look to the side. I've been very aware of him being alive for this past week. It's not much of a secret when you witness him walking around the kingdom as if he's a normal person.

"Oh.. Really?! That's.." What am I meant to say to this? Do I like Rui still or do I hate him? Do I see him as a older brother still or do I despise him with everything I own? "That's amazing! Do you think we can see him again?!"

Nene sighs, shrugging. "Dunno, depends if I ever want to speak to him again.. He put not only me, but you too, through so much guilt and grief. We mourned someone who didn't even die." she explains.

I nod. "That's understandable, Nene-chan.. But, it's not Rui's fault that he was hurting. It's not anyone's fault. I doubt he even wanted to be alive still! We can't blame him. If I went through the same thing he did, I'd probably try to do that too." I say.
