The Devil's Temptation!

244 Get Rid Of It

“What happened to you out there?” Blake’s looked at the glacier who was still recovering from the earlier transformation.

It was obvious his sudden transformation had shocked them both.

This was the same prophecy that made Roshan’s father even think about having a child with a human, and after seeing half of the transformation himself, Blake’s would be dumb not to believe the prophecy was real.

“If you killed Luderick in that state, you would have been gone, you’d turn full Demon overnight and–”

“I know.” Roshan cut in sharply, looking away from Blake’s. He doesn’t want to be reminded of the monster he was out there tonight, and he was stupid enough to fall right into Luderick’s silly trap.

“Listen, I appreciate your help in stopping me, but it wasn’t entirely my fault out there. You saw what he did, he provoked my Demons on purpose by threatening to hurt Anna.” He let out a harsh breath when he recalled Luderick’s offensive words.

He was still in the middle of regulating his breathing and getting angry wasn’t going to help him.

But he wouldn’t stand and watch Luderick speak about a woman he loved in that manner.

He hasn’t told Anna about why he never uses his powers, and he was grateful she never questioned him on why he used daggers every time he had to fight, unlike Azazel or Levi who were free when it came to using their powers.

.....

“How long do you intend on hiding it from her? She’s going to figure it out sooner or later.” Blake pointed out, already aware Roshan hasn’t said anything about the prophecy being true to his future wife.

“And I don’t plan on keeping it from her forever,” he moved away from the wall, “nothing will happen as long as I’m not triggered, so far I’ve been doing a good job keeping my angers in check, but–”

“But not when it comes to Anna?” Blake snorted, “it’s obvious she loves you a lot, yet you’re afraid of telling her the truth about your prophecy.”

“I’m not afraid!” He denied.

“Then tell her,” Blake challenged. “Tell her the prophecy of you being a Devil is true, tell her you’re the world’s biggest destruction, and that the first time you let your Demons loose, you destroyed a whole village, including parts of Euphrasia. Tell her about the people you accidentally killed that day, tell her–”

“Stop.” Roshan’s authoritative tone silenced Blake, and the Demon’s lips curved into a taunting sneer.

“So you’re afraid she’ll hate you after knowing the truth.” He said Roshan’s thoughts out loud, “you’re afraid her love for you will vanish when she knows how big of a threat you are.”

“I really hate being underestimated,” Roshan scowled, “I was triggered that day Blake, and yes I hate myself for doing those things, I killed people but it was out of my own control, I begged them for just the sword, just the sword but what did I get in return? They triggered me and unleashed the monster within me, it couldn’t be helped.”

“I’m not blaming you for it,” Blake shook his head, wanting Roshan to know his words were misinterpreted, “Infact, I’d kill all of them if I were in the same position as you, but Luderick is a threat. Just think, what if Anna gets to hear it from someone else, and not you, the situation will be even more critical by then.”

“I understand what you’re trying to say to me,” Roshan said indifferently, “I’ll tell her when the time is right, for now don’t say a word to anyone about what you just witnessed.”

“No one would believe me to begin with,” he shrugged, “but you’ll be Viscarrian’s new leader soon, I don’t know how you plan on making it possible, but you need to gain control of your Demons, one way or the other you need to let it know who the master is, like me.”

He spread out his arms, feeling himself at the thought of being able to do something Roshan couldn’t. Roshan being half human and a devil is a dangerous combination. The more he grows, the stronger his Demons become.

His energy is on a really slow process to recovery, and his human body can’t control the powers of the monster in him. Roshan’s Demon was said to be ten times stronger during his adolescent age, which made it possible for him to kill his father without batting an eye.

And now, he’s a grown man, and the powers he contained was something that should never be spoken of.

“I will control it,” he sounded determined as he picked his daggers from the ground, sheathing it in place, “I just need time.”

“How can you control it when you’re having a hard time accepting it?” Blake tried not to laugh, but he didn’t want to crush Roshan’s hope so easily.

“Fine fine, do as you must, and I must admit that I had a good time working with you. If it’s not a problem, I can help you watch this baby till you’re ready to keep it somewhere even safer.”

“Safer?” Roshan’s gaze darkened when he looked at the coffin, “the best option will be to get rid of it.” He said conclusively. “I don’t want this coffin to be of any trouble to anyone, so get rid of it.”

Blake nodded to the idea, “will do, but not today, I’ll still keep it under security watch for a few more days, then burn it.”

“Fine by me.” Roshan agreed.

The pleasing scent of floral lavender suddenly invaded his nostril, lightening his mood. It reminded him of Anna, including the promise he made to her that he’ll return back to her in the morning.

“I have to take my leave now.”

“Sure, but you owe me a new house.” He expressed, “and on your way, think about what I told you, don’t wait too long to tell her.”

Roshan said nothing in return, he just turned away and jumped out through the window.
