Chapter 10
Eleanor's POV
I marched back to Bill and I almost forgot to take off the suit before I arrived. I held the journal carefully as I smiled with glee. This was easier than I imagined! Bill sat in Pine Tree's body, surrounded by strange symbols that were glowing.
Bill was quite annoyed that the portal wasn't working for him as a short cut for everything to come through, so we ended up having to take the long way. I snuck up behind him and watched him as he murmured quietly to himself.
"Bill, I have journal 2." I said.
I saw Bill tense up before he turned around. He saw the journal and beckoned for me to come closer. I walked up and sat down next to him.
Bill snatched the journal quickly and examined it. He smiled and looked me in the eyes. "This is perfect." He whispered. "As soon as you obtain journal 1...everything will fit perfectly." Bill stood up and examined the symbols on the ground. "I haven't had much successes in this process, but with the other journal it'll surely be easier."
I nodded. "Bill, what happened before I became...this?" I asked.
Bill shot me a deadly glare. "That doesn't matter. This is obviously the better route!" His piercing gaze reminder me of...my hunger.
I hunched over as I grasped my stomach, like Bill made this happen with his gaze. I gasped in pain. "Bill, who can I kill?" I managed to get out.
Bill smiled and laughed manically. "Thank you. I've been dying for you to ask." Bill crossed his arms. "Those feeble so called 'parents' of yours."
"Y-you want me to kill my parents?!" I asked honestly shocked.
Bill nodded. "Of course! It's not like they matter, do they?"
I stiffened. "I-uh....I don't know..."
"You're not going soft on me, are you?" Bill asked smoothly.
I shook my head quickly. "No! I'll be right back...I'll return when it's done."
Bill smiled approvingly. "Good."
I gave a curt nod before taking off towards my old house. I soon could see the roof and I dropped down at the the edge of the forest. I stared at the land scape in slight awe.
They were in there. Their cars were both parked outside. I took a deep breath and flew up to the door. I was about to knock when I froze. I quickly put on a suit of my normal self. For a moment, I stood and just stares at myself.
Eleanor! Wake up! You've gotta job to do! I shook myself back into the present and I knocked on the door. It didn't take long for it to open.
It was my mom. She cried out and pulled me into a tight hug. I grimaced at the physical contact. I was fine with killing her now... She pulled away and admired me.
"Where have you been?!" Her gaze was worried. "We have been searching everywhere for you!"
"I-I got lost so I stayed with my friends." I lied. Where was my dad, I wanted to kill them quickly.
She smiled. "I'm just glad you're back." She whispered.
I gave a quick weak smile before pushing past her. "Where's dad?" I asked. I could feel the tingling of the fire in my hands.
"He's in the office, I'll get him, be right back." And mom left.
I let out a puff of air once she momentarily left. It'd be quick and easy. A clean and swift kill. I examined my hands as the blue light seemed to illuminate them for a moment. I looked up at they both walked down the hall.
My dad smiled and hugged my tightly. "Don't you ever ever do that again!" He scolded gently.
Again, I plasterer on a fake smile. "Sorry." I muttered. Just do it! DO IT NOW! I clenched my fists. Ok...distract them... I would have to drain their life away. Pretend...
I walked up, as if to hug them, but I quickly stalled. "Uh-um, love yah guys!" I stammered.
They both smiled. "You too!"
They chorused happily.
That's when I dove in. I wrapped my right arm around mom and my left around dad. My hands touched their backs, behind their hearts and I let the power flow out.
They both went ridged and fell down to the ground. I pulled away quickly and I saw my hands glowing. Blue little strings of glowing light streamed from them into my hands. They were stone still, but their eyes were wide with terror as their skin paled and drained.
I clenched my teeth together as I absorber their life and I gained power. Soon the life source weakened to a trickle and then to nothing.
I dropped my hands and almost fell to my knees. I looked down at their dead, lifeless bodies and a smirk crept onto my face. I couldn't stop myself from laughing.
I laughed uncontrollably. I glanced down at them again and the energy rush vanished. I walked beside my mom and looked her over.
My mom.
I gasped, horrified, and backed against the wall.
My. Mom. Was. Dead.
A strange feeling built up inside of me. A terrified scream erupted from my throat. I had killed both my parents. I dropped to my knees as tears, real tears, rolled down my face.
I just killed them.
I buried my face into my hands.
I. Just. Killed. Them.
I looked at them drearily. I didn't know who I was anymore. Was I human or was I a Dream Demon? Right now I had no clue.
I felt like two different people.
