Chapter 2: Who Are We?
You and Elizabeth walking to school together. Elizabeth is nervous because this is her first day going to school.
"Don't worry Elizabeth. You'll get the hang of this. Homework's not fun, but other than that, you'll be fine. Besides, you got me."
Elizabeth: "Thank you, Y/N."
You arrived at school and go to class, where you took your seats saw see a punk-ish-looking girl sitting in front of you.
"Oh, hey Y/N."
"Hey Viola. Elizabeth, this is my friend and classmate, Viola."
Elizabeth: "Nice to meet you, Viola."
Viola: "Same here, Elizabeth. First day here?"
Elizabeth: "Yes."
Viola: "Don't worry about it, you'll be alright. Just try not to ask too many questions."
Elizabeth: "Okay."
The class began. It was history, and the beginning of a new subject, so it wasn't too difficult for Elizabeth to understand it. After class, you and Elizabeth went outside and saw the area where students can hang out during break period.
You felt like something was behind you, so you turned around and saw the bushes shake, as if something just ran away.
Elizabeth: "What is it, Y/N?"
"I thought we were being watched for a second."
Elizabeth: "It's probably just the wind."
"I don't know."
After school ended, you and Elizabeth went home and ate dinner, but Elizabeth sensed something next to her and looked out the window. She saw something for a second before they disappear.
"Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth: "I think you're right. Something's watching us."
You went to your room and opened a safe, where you pulled out a pair of shock pistols and handed one to Elizabeth.
"In case someone breaks in, or we find the thing stalking us."
You grabbed a few flashlights before going outside and looking at the ground, where you and Elizabeth saw prints that do not belong to a human.
"What the hell is this thing? I've never seen prints like that."
Elizabeth's eye began to feel strange as she covered it with her hand.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?"
Elizabeth uncovered her eye, which is glowing in an amber color with a strange symbol.
She looked around and saw more prints that are glowing.
Elizabeth: "I see a trail of prints."
You looked around and couldn't see any, but knew that Elizabeth can.
"You do?"
Elizabeth: "This way."
She followed the trail into the forest and saw that the prints are visible to both of you, along with multiple mangled deer corpses.
You heard something rusting and you activated your shock pistols. You and Elizabeth followed the noise and saw an inhuman creature eating a deer.
You and Elizabeth are horrified as it catches your scent and charges at you. You and Elizabeth fire your shock pistols and hit the creature, causing it to slow down, but it didn't stop.
It tried to jump at you, but a feeling flew through you as your eyes turn pitch black, and vein-like markings appear all over you. You punched the creature and sent it crashing into a tree.
You regained your senses and wondered what you just did as Elizabeth felt something flowing through her, causing her to form a ball of energy and she shot it at the creature, destroying it.Elizabeth returns to normal and was as confused as you are.
"What was that? How did we do those things?"
Elizabeth: "W-what are we?"
You heard the sounds of walking from afar, and you and Elizabeth aimed your shock pistols. Soon enough, a short but muscular man with black hair and a pretty woman with an elegant appearance emerged from the trees.
"Zeldris?"
Elizabeth: "Gelda."
Zeldris: "So, you remember us?"
Gelda: "It's been so long, you two."
"You know us?"
Zeldris: "Yes, but why don't we discuss this back at your house."
The four of you went back to your house and sit down.
Zeldris: "Y/N, your demon heritage alloys your strength to increase greatly beyond that of a human. You can also manipulate the powers of darkness and use it to your advantage."
Gelda: "Elizabeth, as a Goddess, your powers of light allow you to heal others and are powerful against the demons."
"I'm part of a Demon Race?"
Elizabeth: "And I'm part of a race of Goddesses?"
Gelda: "Yes, but they aren't actual gods, just angelic beings."
Zeldris: "And what's very confusing is that though they are called Goddess Race, there are males among them."
"Yeah, that is kind of confusing. So what brings you two to this town?"
Zeldris: "We sensed surges of magic that are coming here, and when we were investigating we saw you two. We weren't sure, but we knew once we saw your powers awaken."
"This is a lot to take in."
Zeldris: "I know, but I can help you get a grasp on your powers."
"Really?"
Zeldris nodded.
Gelda: "And Elizabeth, I may not be a Goddess, but I can teach you how to further awaken your true powers."
Elizabeth: "Thank you."
Zeldris: "We'll come back when you two are off of school. (sigh) The Human world has changed a lot."
Gelda: "Well, that's what we should expect after being away for centuries. Take care you two."
"You both as well."
Elizabeth: "Thanks for coming. It was nice to meet you two."
Zeldris and Gelda exit the door as they appear to fly away, while and Elizabeth are still trying to process everything that's happened.
"So, we're not entirely human."
Elizabeth: "Your dad made it clear that you're his son and he loves you."
"You're right. Looks like we've got an adventure on our hands."
You and Elizabeth went to your rooms and fall asleep. In your dreams, you found yourself in a room filled with demonic corpses, and you turned around to see Elizabeth with wings lying dead on the floor.
You looked down and saw yourself holding a sword. You looked closely at the sword and saw blood, which you recognized as Elizabeth's.
You put the sword down in front and stabbed it through your chest, causing yourself to wake up panting.
"W-what... what was that?"
