Beth's past (II): Massacre

DLR - 26

_________________________

"Ah...more people. I thought everyone went inside already" Dean said as he observed the people walk and split up to surround the building.

"Let me see" Beth squeezed herself and looked through the hole and looked at the people.

They were eight in number and their face didn't show as they had hoods on.

All if them simultaneously raised their hands as a golden light barrier erupted from the ground and covered the building, forming a dome around it. Golden lines connected around the barrier and started pulsing a brighter light.

"Light magic?... They're humans!" he murmured as Dean peeped out of the carriage.

The black hooded people walked through the barrier and entered the building as if it wasn't there.

"*Gasp*...they went in"

Dean was shocked as he thought that it was a barrier. If it wasn't a barrier then what is it?.

"What are they up to brother?" Beth asked as she struggled to look out the hole.

"Probably no good, those humans have been on us for too long..."

"I'll be back soon okay. And promise me you won't make any sound or come out of the carriage no matter what" he said as he looked at her seriously.

"Why do have to be strict brother?...I understand the rules of the game" Beth innocently said as she laid flat and didn't move.

'She's still a little girl after all'

Dean left the carriage and sprinted towards the building hurriedly.

Beth was seven years old right now while Dean was twelve. Demons don't give birth like humans as they have longer lives, they can choose when it will be convenient for them to have a child or more, which was good.

...

Dean walked round the barrier while checking if it emitted heat or not and it didn't and he sighed.

'I wonder what's going on inside' he thought as he began tossing things through the barrier to see if only humans can pass through.

**Inside the building**

____________

"We the shadow guards have always been the demon Lord's secret weapon...are you saying that we should drop the mission"

"Why would we?, Harry, are you okay today?"

"I suggest we get enforcements and launch an attack"

"Let's all..."

*Ruumble*

The building shook a little as each of them felt their strength leaving them rapidly but they ignored it and they all stood up.

"What's going on?"

*BANG*

The door opened and slammed the walls as eight hooded people came inside.

Some of the shadow guards seem to recognise the black clothing and immediately brandished their weapons.

"What do you guys want?" Harry said to them but got no reply.

"Isn't it obvious.....war!" Summer's eyes was filled with hatred and anger as he looked at the humans before them. All of them wore black armour which he recognised very well except one.....

One of the hooded humans stepped forward towards the shadow guards. They looked at him and noticed the difference between him and the others.

This one wore golden armour and it had a symbol on the chest while the rest wore black armour.

"My friends" the man pulled down his hood.

The shadow guards were shocked to see the one who stepped forward as they were familiar with this person.

Blonde hair, red eyes, and golden horns protruding from his forehead. It was a demon that they knew personally.

All of them looked confused as they don't know what the demon's motive is.

"So you've really joined the humans huh?... Roshan!"

All the shadow guards including Harry and Shayla looked at Summer who was looking at Roshan the blonde demon.

Roshan didn't say anything and just smiled as he pointed towards them.

"Kill them all" he said and the hooded people rushed forward while unsheathing their swords.

"AHHHH....ROSHAN!!!"

Summer shouted as he ran towards Roshan while the other shadow guards followed and charged at the enemy.

They thought that the humans were fools as they were much stronger than them.

"What!!!..My magic?....I can't use my...."

*Shuaah*

A human cleaved the head off of the shouting shadow guards. Summer stared wide eyed as he noticed that he can't use magic too.

The shadow guards dropped one by one as only the humans could use magic in here.

It wasn't a fair fight at all, these humans have no honour whatsoever.

Summer fought hard but was badly injured as

his left arm was cut off and one of his eyes were injured.

He turned and glanced at the situation around. Everywhere was filled with screams as each one of them was brutally killed, burned or beheaded.

He lost the light in his eyes and will to fight as he looked down. After he has seen this, even if he wanted to live, he probably would have to live with this trauma for the rest of his life....so why not give it his all here and now. He gripped his sword as he frowned.

*Clank clank...*

"Hahahahahaha..." Roshan laughed as he walked towards the weak and bloodied Summer.

"Look at the great Summer, light of the demons..hahaha" he mocked summer and laughed as he pulled out his sword from the sheath on his waist.

"I've always been jealous of your position as a shadow guard. I wanted the position so badly that I trained every single day of my life...but what happened, you were chosen instead"

*Scraaaaaa....*

He dragged the sword through the ground as he kept on walking towards Summer.

"Do you know how that feels?...to have your life wasted"

Roshan looked at him with rage as he got before him.

"Today you will die by my hands. And when the demon Lord finds out you died, I'll be your replacement. Now DIEEE!!!" He shouted as he thrusted his sword towards Summer in a piercing motion.

Summer who has been quiet all this time suddenly moved, dodging the sword and pierced his own sword at Roshan.

*Clank*

He looked in horror as his sword only hit Roshan's armor and didn't pierce it.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA...."

Roshan laughed like a mad man as he kicked Summer backwards and stabbed his hand.

"Ahhhh.." Summer shouted as he looked at Roshan with rage and hatred.

"I see you're shocked....I got this armor as a gift for joining the humans. it's said to be able to withstand the strength of a soul king like yourself"

Roshan grabbed the sword and pulled it out of Summer's hand while he grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.

"Hehehe...Ahk....you think...you would get...away with...this...hehehehe. There are recording runes built in this walls and have recorded everything" Summer smiled at Roshan.

"You're wrong...We deactivated all the magic surrounding the building before we raided, hahahah...."

Summer stared at Roshan in shock as their only way to justice has just gone like that. His eyes became lifeless as he left Roshan's hand that was gripping his neck.

"I see you have lost the will to live....don't think you won't suffer before death"

Roshan stabbed Summer's stomach with the long sword in his hand.

*CLANK*

A loud sound of metal hitting the floor sounded and Roshan and the human soldiers looked back.

"Oh shit"

Dean ran as he just peeped inside and accidentally hit a metallic cup, making a noise as it touched the ground.

"CATCH HIM!!" Roshan shouted and the soldiers ran as they chased the boy they saw.

"NO!!" Summer tried to get out of Roshan's grip as he saw Dean but Roshan got angry and stabbed Summer in his chest and finally beheaded him.

"I made sure to tell those fools to check if it was everyone that was in....But this is still a sight to behold" he smiled as he looked at all the dead demons around him.

Not so faraway young Vernox with his little horns was laying on a tree when he heard some noise from inside the forest and went to check it out.
