Iris's POV

When Maroon and Ethan finally pulled apart, they were smiling like a bunch of idiots. I took my phone out and took a picture of the two. They were so cute!

Time Skip

We all decided to go to the park, since school was canceled because of snow, with Skylar and Fell. Sky and Fell had gotten considerably bigger. Sky was just past my knee and Fell was about to the middle of my thigh. We got into Ethan's car and started to drive. After a while, we were finally at the park. I hopped out of the car and ran to the secret oasis in the park, quickly followed by Sky.

When we were little, we got attacked by some type of animal. Thus we found the oasis.

Flashback 10 years ago

"Higher!" I told Maroon. He complied, pushing me higher into the air.

"Ethan catch me!" I yelled as I jumped, knowing that he would catch me without fail. He caught me easily.

He thumped me in the head hard. "Now what if I didn't catch you?"

"That wouldn't happen because I know you would catch me!" I said smiling up at him.

He glared at me, thumping me again harder than the first time.

"Ow! Ethan you're a big meanie!" I said running over to Maroon while holding my hands over the spot where Ethan had plucked me.

There was suddenly a loud roar, followed by a creature, who seemingly appeared out of thin air.

It went over to where Maroon and I were standing.

There was a loud crack. Behind the monster, Ethan was there holding a broken stick.

It all happened too fast.

The monster whipped around, hitting Ethan with a terrible force.

Ethan went flying into the woods, the monster followed after him, forgetting about Maroon and me.

We both just stared in shock and horror in the direction Ethan and the monster went.

A loud scream broke us out of our trancelike state.

Both of us broke into a run, in the direction they went.

Ethan's POV

I landed in a pool of water. Once I swam up to the top, a clawed hand gripped around my neck.

I started gasping for air, not excepting it, looking up at the monster with half closed eyes.

I felt something in my stomach region, so I looked down. I'm sure my eyes grew twice their normal size.

The monster's sharp, spiked tail was going straight through my stomach.

That's when the pain registered.

I scream in pain. The monster took out its tail and let me fall to the ground, writhing in pain.

My sight was being taken over by black dots, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw Iris and Maroon run out into the clearing.

The monster, almost too fast for me to see, went to them, knocking Iris away, and grabbing Maroon around his throat.

Maroon was gasping for breath, clawing at the creatures hands with his nails.

Somehow, out of the raspy breaths Maroon was giving, I was able to make out a few things.

"E-Ethan......please......help m-me......."

Then he went limp.

I stared in frozen shock.

Then a fiery hot feeling bloomed inside me. It felt as if my insides had caught fire.

I opened my mouth in a silent scream.

My eyes started to burn.

My gums pulsing, as my teeth grew longer and sharper.

I had a terrible headache, like someone was beating me in the head with a hammer.

My whole back started to hurt so bad, I put myself in impossible formations.

As quickly as it had come, it had gone. All the pain subsided.

I felt so...powerful.

The creature looked at me in what looked like shock. Then it........spoke?

"Y-young master. My-my prince. I-I am sorry. I did not know that you were the King's son." It stuttered going down on its knees.

I was furious. All I could see was red.

"This monster hurt you and Iris. And don't forget Maroon." A voice said from inside my head said.

Who are you?

Well isn't it obvious? I'm you. Well the demonic prince you, Daizel.

Demon prince? I don't understand.

I have been dormant inside of you since forever, but now seeing Maroon like this, has awaken me inside of you.

At the end he sounded sad.

But......

Ah-ah. No buts. We can talk about this later with father, but right now I think we have some business to take care of.

My attention was brought back to the hideous creature, kneeling before me. Right in front of Maroons limp body.

That made my rage grow even more.

Let's make this a slow and painful death.

I smirked, letting out a devilish laugh.

The monster looked up at me.

Here let me take over for a bit. That way you can see the kind of power you posses.

Ok. Yeah, sure.

I closed my eyes. Once I opened them again, I was in a room.

The room had blood red walls and dark wood floors. On the left wall was a lit fireplace with a huge flat screen tv mounted on the wall above it.

On the wall to my left was a large black leather couch. In front of the couch was a coffee table with books and sweets.

On the couch were two people who looked very much like me with only a few differences.

The one sitting on the couch had red eyes with a red strip going down from his eyes to his chin. He held a half black and half white stuffed bunny that was stitched up the middle, with X's for eyes.

The other was laying down causally on the couch. He had black hair like me, but with strips of white hair and red strips going down his head. Sitting on his back were two feathery wings, the same color as our hair but darker.

The one with the bunny looked at me and smiled. "Hello Ethan. We've been waiting for you."

"Who are you guys?" I asked.

"Like our brother said, 'we are you'." The one with the wings said.

"Well if you're me, then do you have the same name as me?" I asked.

The one laying on the couch laughed. "No we don't. My name is Dreum. My brother here, is Kalev."

I was about to ask another question, but was beaten by Kalev.

"Ethan, we shall talk about this later. For now," he said gesturing to the tv, "we shall watch our brother fight."

I sat beside him and looked at the tv screen, which was in 'my' perspective.

The monster was still kneeling in front Daizel.

The view on the tv got smaller. I'm guessing Daizel narrowed his eyes.

"You dare to hurt our friend," the view panned over to Iris who was lying unconscious.

"Then you hurt OUR little brother," it panned over to Maroon. I clenched my fist in anger, the others made a low growling noise.

"And you have the OADASITY to beg for forgiveness?!" He yelled.

Suddenly, there was fire all around them.

"Watch closely, Ethan. This is the power you posses as the demon prince, son of the devil himself!"

Daizel raised his, or would it be my hand?

The monster flew about 30 feet in the air.

Daizel let his hand drop quickly.

The monster slammed down into the ground as if it were a bowling ball.

Daizel shot his hand out to the left then the right. The monster being flung like a rag doll.

Daizel repeated these movements in a random order. He was the Puppeteer and the monster was the marionette. (More like he was the Sans and the monster was the Chara : - D)

After a few minuets, Daizel seemed to get bored of playing puppet and let the monster slam to the ground.

But he was far from done, and I was perfectly fine with that.

He went over to the demon. He kneeled down.

The demon grabbed onto Daizel's leg and started sputtering out pleas for forgiveness.

But Daizel wasn't listening. His narrowed eyes were locked on the demon's hands that were locked on his leg.

The demon's hands suddenly burst into flames. It screeched in pain, letting go of Daizel's leg trying to put out the brilliant flames.

"Don't you dare touch me." Daizel sneered in a low voice.

The flames grew, consuming the monster whole.

Daizel held out his hand like a gun. At the tip of his index finger, sprouted a small blue flame. He then uttered a single word, that I will learn holds an immense amount of power.

"Begone"

Then the monster was gone in wisps of blue. All that remains is the burnt spot where it last was.

"Tch. Yo Ethan, I'm giving the show back to you. But I want to tell you this before I go. What I have shown you is only a fraction of what you can do."

"Just a fraction?!" I yelled baffled.

All three chuckled at me.

I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I was back in control of my body.

I ran over to Maroon, dropping down at his side, and scooping him up in my arms.

I put my ear on Maroon's chest, listening for a heartbeat. When I finally heard the steady beating of his heart, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Ethan, watch out! Daizel shouted inside my head.

I jumped out of the way, Maroon still in my arms.

"P-put Maroon down now!" Iris stood with a stick in her hand. I looked in her eyes and saw confusion and pure fear.

"Iris, what are you talking about. Come on and help me get Maroon home." I said looking at her.

"E-ethan? Wha- how? Why do you look like that?"

"Look like what?" I said putting Maroon down gently and going over to the pool.

I gasped.

On my head were two large horns. (They look like mountain goat horns. The ones that spiral) My hair had gotten considerably longer with a few strands being red. My canines were longer and sharper. My eyes were a deep blood red with specks of brilliant gold floating around. I had two small, short red lines going down my eyes.

I turned so I could see my back.

Sitting on my back were two large feathery black wings. On my lower back hang long black tail. (It looks like Rin's from Blue Exorsist)

Daizel! H-how do I turn back to normal?!

Calm down Ethan.

I breathed in deeply, calming myself down.

Okay, I'm calm. Now, how do I turn back?

Close your eyes and think about what you want to do.

I closed my eyes thinking that I want to make my body normal.

Nothing happened.

It didn't work!

Ethan, concentrate. He stated firmly.

I tried again, going over my body and picturing my body going back to its normal look.

At first I thought it didn't work, but was soon proven wrong by a strange tingly sensation going throughout my body.

A few moments later, the tingling stopped. I opened my eyes and looked into the water.

The horns were gone, my hair was back to its normal length and color, my teeth were back to normal, the tail and wings were gone, the marks were gone, and my eyes were back to its original color.

I was normal again. Thank god.

Now, go to our brother. He needs you. I could practically hear the smile on Daizel's face.

I smiled.

I turned around and went over to Maroon and Iris.

"We have to hurry and get back home." I said to Iris.

That's easy. All you have to do is teleport home. I recognized the voice to belong to the 'me' with the bunny.

"Teleport?" I asked. Iris stared at me in confusion, but I ignored it.

Yes. You can use your powers in your human form, but it will exhaust you fast depending on the power you use. Teleporting shouldn't use a lot of energy.

"Ok well how do I do it?"

Think of the place you want to go to.

I thought about being in our dad's study, since I knew he would be in there.

Now, picture yourself inside that room. Your physical body is inside of the room.

I did. Not a second later, I felt the air shift around me.

Hurry grab onto Iris and Maroon.

I quickly grabbed onto Iris's wrist and Maroon's waist, holding them gently but firm.

The air around us stilled. I looked around and saw the familiar room we were in along with a very familiar man sitting at his desk, staring at us with wide eyes and mouth slightly open.

Iris looked just as shocked, looking around in awe.

"D-dad....." I panted. I felt so weak. The edges of my vision were becoming dark.

"H-help Maroo-" before I was able to finish, I fell face first onto the hard floor with a thud.

Just before I lost consciousness, I grabbed Maroon's hand tightly in mine before letting the dark abyss consume me with open arms.

Third Person POV

Ethan and Maroon lay in bed, both unconscious.

The nurses checked over Iris, who only suffered a sprained wrist, and a jumbled and confused mind.

The nurses said that Maroon was perfectly fine, but they couldn't say the same for Ethan.

Ethan was holding on to Maroon tightly, determined not to let go. Every time the nurses tried to check on Maroon or himself, Ethan would subconsciously growl at them and hold on tighter.

But this time was different.

The nurses tried one more time to tend to Ethan. They actually succeeded in getting him to let go of Maroon, surprisingly without a fight. They took him to a separate room and treated his wound.

After the treatment, they started to clean up. When a nurse started to put the supplies away, out of nowhere the papers next to him caught fire. The same happened to the curtains and paintings that hung on the wall.

The nurses quickly turned to the cause of the fire. They all were baffled at what they saw.

Ethan was switching from his three demon forms to his human form. He was gripping and clawing at the bed, ripping the bed sheets with his sharp nails. There was a red and black glow whisking around him like a fire that has lost control.

One of the nurses was brave enough to go over to him and try to calm him. The nurse was about a foot away from Ethan, before the glow around him turned into wispy tendrils and flicked the nurse away like he was a pesky bug. The man flew into the wall in a heap. The tendrils seemed to be..........protecting Ethan.

Suddenly, Ethan started screaming in agony that soon transformed into words.

One word to be exact.

"MAROON!!!!!" Ethan screamed. The room started to shake and there was a powerful wind blowing inside the room.

By now Ethan's father, Lucious, had heard the commotion, since he was standing in the door.

"What is going on?!" He asked.

Linda, a female nurse, decided to answer. "Sir! We'er not sure what happened. The room just suddenly caught fire and Prince Ethan started screaming Prince Maroon's name. What should we do sir?"

"Isn't it obvious?! Get him what he wants!" Lucious said.

The nurses looked at Lucious confused.

"GET HIM MAROON!" He yelled.

The nurses started scrambling out of the door, running toarwd Maroon's room.

Lucious looked at Ethan and smiled. 'I know you'll be a great prince and brother, a powerful one. I know you'll always protect Maroon, even if it cost you your life' He thought to himself as he walked out of the room and teleported to the devil's palace.

The nurses ran back into the screaming demon prince's room, carrying a still unconscious Maroon.

Linda, the nurse who was talking to Lucious, brought up her courage and decided she would give Ethan Maroon, since the other looked wary.

She started to walk over to Ethan's bed, which he was still screaming, carrying Maroon.

The red and black tendrils whipped around to face Linda and Maroon, deciding she had gotten to close.

"Ethan! Stop this! I have Maroon right here, take him and calm down!" She yelled, holding out Maroon to Ethan.

The long tendrils reached out to Maroon, going under his body and wrapping itself around him, like arms. Linda winced at the closeness of the tendrils, that seems to have a mind of its own.

The tendrils lifted Maroon out of Linda's arms, gently floating him over to their master.

They laid Maroon down in the bed beside Ethan.

Ethan stopped screaming and pulled Maroon into his arms. Maroon snuggled deeper into Ethan.

Ethan stopped shifting into his demon prince form, settling on his normal human form. The tendrils ended the waltz the had been dancing, and slipped back into Ethan's body, until they were needed once again.

The nurses just stared. Their prince has finally risen.

Extremely long flash back over

Maroon's POV

I giggled at Iris and Skylar. Fell decided to stay with Ethan an me and walk. You could tell who was the oldest between the two siblings.

I felt a hand entangle itself with mine. I smiled and looked up into Ethan's eyes. They were so weird. They're silver with specks of red and gold. I loved them.

We got to the clearing where our oasis was located. It was beautiful. Because of the snow, the ground and trees were covered in it. Hanging from the trees, were long randomly placed icicles. The water had frozen over. It was a winter wonderland.

But, something was missing. Not something, but someone. But not someone. No, not someone at all. But someones. (Are you confused yet? :D)

Once I figured out the missing someones, Ethan stepped to the left. Where he used to be standing, was now replaced by a flying Iris, who I'm guessing jumped from a tree trying to ambush us. She flew a few more feet and landed in a snow bank.

After a few moments, Iris's head popped out of the snow. A second later, Skylar's head did too. Must have been where she was hiding.

Ethan burst out laughing. He fell down onto his knees, clutching his stomach.

We all liked at him confused, but that didn't last very long. We all started laughing as well, Fell and Sky giving happy barks.

"Wheh! That was funny." Ethan said after he finally stopped laughing.

"Yeah, I should've known I wouldn't get you. Nothing gets past you." Iris said brushing herself off.

I walked over to a tree hanging over the frozen pool of water like a blanket.

"This view is absolutely breath taking."

I turned my head to see Ethan standing beside me, gazing at me. I blushed.

"And it's all mine. And I it's." He whispered. I blushed even harder.

He held out his hand to me. "May I have this dance?" He said, a small, gentle smile had found its place on his face.

I took his hand, smiling up at him. "You may, my prince."

He put his arm around my waist, and we started waltzing. Ethan started humming the beginning of a song. The same song he would sing when I was sad, lonely, or scared. The sound of his voice mixed with the lyrics of the song was my remedy. It was my song.

I remember tear streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go....

When all those shadows almost killed your light....

I remember you said 'Don't leave me here alone'

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight....

Just close your eyes.... The sun is going down....

You'll be alright..... No one can hurt you now

Come morning light...... You and I'll be safe and sound.....

I put my head on his chest, imagining it was just us, together.

Ethan finished singing, which I was slightly disappointed in.

He pulled away slightly, looking down at me. He kissed top of my head, then my forehead. Finally he kissed my lips. It was a gentle, soft kiss. It may have been small, but it had enough love and passion in it to kill someone.

And I'd love to be killed by this kiss.

Everything was perfect. I loved it.

But alas, all good things must come to an end.

A/N: AAAHHHHH!!! I'm done I finally finished!!

This took absolutely FOREVER to do.

Jesus Christ on a bike with a mother freking kite!

But I'm god durn proud of this messaroni.

But yeah. Tell me if you guys like having the long chapters. Now if you do it will take significantly longer than having a shorter chapter.

This chapter was mostly a filler. It just tells you how Etharooni awakened his powers. But we also met three new characters.

So um yeah......

Peace

Love

Fun
