The Demon King

33

I walked outside with a stagger. "Kronos? Kronos!" I screamed out for him. I looked around, it was completely dead outside. No wind, the ocean that was just next to us completely still. My throat went dry, my fingers trembling with my lips.

I froze as I felt someone blow air against my neck. I whipped around, screaming as I see what's in front of me. The candle drops, the hot wax splashing onto my thigh, running down my legs. I stare at the demon in front of me. It wasn't Kronos, it was but it wasn't.

Then again I don't even truly know the man in front of me.

My eyes dart around his stature. His eyes pure black, no white around. Just black, black angry veins over his face, neck, arms, just everywhere. His fangs elongated, he was in his true form. It looked like there was no going back. He was breathing heavily, his eyes locked to mine.

We stare each other down, waiting to see who was going to act first. So I did, I grabbed the candle from the floor and threw it with all the strength I could manage straight to his face. I watched in horror as he didn't even flinch, the candle seemed to just flop down.

I turned on my heels and sprinted away. I look over my shoulder seeing no one behind me, so I stop turning around and going the other way. I did not want some sort of irony to happen where Kronos is right at the end of the road and he kills me. I run back into the house, locking the door behind me. I rush over to the girls, unlocking the door.

I quickly pick them up and take their blankets with me and run to the bathroom. I cover the tub with their blankets and lay them in their. I ran back to the master bedroom and place the candles inside the bathroom. I kiss both their heads before i walk away and close and lock the door.

I go to the kitchen, my eyes squinted as I try my best to use the moon as a source of light so I could see. I grab a knife and head back outside. Stealthily I creep out of the house, knife in hand. I walk out, pivoting my body around so I make sure he wouldn't pop up anywhere.

I look at the knife, wondering if I'd actually be able to stick this in Kronos' heart. I should've seen this coming. It was true, I am a pushover. I trust in people too much. I always just end up hurting myself in the end.

All my hesitance went out the door as I felt his eyes on me. I took in a deep breath, walking away from the house. As far away as I could get, I didn't want the girls to see anything bad.

I spin around, raising my hand gripping the knife tightly. I bring it down fast but my wrist is caught. Kronos stays true to his title as he squeezes my wrist until I'm screaming and the bone in my wrist is cracked into four different pieces. The blood crazy demon king smirks at me deviously as he sees the pain I'm in. I bring my other hand up, with my palm I push it against his nose with a hard punch. He lets out a grunt, stumbling back.

Black blood drips down his chin to his neck, he clenches his jaw. Snapping his broken nose back to place. I run, trying to hold in the tears. I scream as my hair is grabbed and yanked back. I fall into the floor of the wooden deck of the dock. I panicked as he stood over, I looked at his knees and his groin. So I went for both, kicking in his knee and his private area.

My hair gets in my face as I scrambled up. I breathe in the salty crisp air of the ocean. My feet sink into the sand as I try to run through it. But all the sand was doing was slowing me down. "Someone! Someone help please! Help me!" I scream frantically.

I was crushed, Kronos tackling me. I wheeze out a breath, all the air knocked out of me as I was slammed into the surface. "Get off!" I scream thrashing against him. I howled in pain as he collected both of my wrist pining them behind my back, he then placed his knee on my chest, the pressure killing my broken wrist even more.

"Kronos! Kronos stop! Wake up! Wake up!" I yell in his face, I gasp. Chocking on my own air as he presses his sharp fingernails against my neck. His other hand grips my hair and pulls my head back as he starts to crush my windpipe. I start to wiggle, my broken wrist falling to pieces. But my other hand is free.

I start slapping his arm. I reach up and grab his face. "Wak-e up!" I said through a labored breath. He clenched his jaw, his hands wrapping around my neck with a ruthless pressure. I squeeze my eyes shut, my legs kicking under him. I grab his hair and fist it with the adrenaline that was rushing through my veins. Maybe the last chance I would have.

I pull him down to me, our eyes meeting. "Kronos! Opal!" Tears leave my eyes, I cup his face. The voice in the distant being just that. Something that I'll never reach. I caress his cheek a golden mist forming from under my touch.My hand falls to my side. My eyes rolling to the back of my head.

My world was painted black.
