The Demon Within

When I found Sebastian, I thought he was looking at me. But he looked right past me. When I looked back. All I saw was smoke. It was coming from the village. I was there just 15 minutes ago. How is this possible? I looked at Sebastian, and he nodded. He grabbed onto my wrist, and we flew back to the village.

S: Do you see anything?

C: Nothing other than smoke. But... I know who it is. I sense another shard. And rage. It must be Satan's work.

The once beautiful flower field was nothing more than ash and flame. In the middle of it stood Satan.

Lboy: Miss. Please help!

S: Shut up, you little brat, unless you want to end up like the others.

C: Let him go!

S: I have other plans. I want you to feel what I've felt.

He picked up the boy by the head and tore it off from his body. I felt so much anger. My emotions were off the charts. And when it hit its limit, something broke in me. A feeling flooded me. It was like rage but something far beyond it. Hatred? No, it's far worse. It overflowed my mind. It all went hazy. I was no longer in control of my body. Something or someone took control over me. 

S: Cornelia? Whatever you are doing, stop. Your aura is starting to feel like theirs.

I heard Sebastian's voice faintly. But a whisper grew louder and louder. I whisper, which has the same voice as me.

???: Let go. Give into this feeling. Don't fight it.

I slipped away. It felt like being in cold water, but it felt nice. My eyes were closed, but I kept hearing voices. A voice. A scream. Saying my name repeatedly.

S:Cornelia snap out of it! CORNELIA!

I opened my eyes. I was back in the village. My hands were stained with blood. Satan was skinned and torn apart beside me. I was holding Sebastian by the collar of his shirt.

C: What... What just happened?

S: You become a demon.

C: What?!

S: If I have to guess, your rage consumed you, allowing your suppressed demonic half to take over.

C: I felt nothing. The only thing I heard was faint voices.

S: No matter what happens, don't lose control ever again. The demon in you only cares about power and blood.

???: You can't keep me down for long. Once the yellow moon rises. I'll be back. But do not worry. This time, I'll let you watch. I will also lend you my power for free. After all, your death is my death.

S: Cornelia?

C: It will return. My demonic helf is now like a living person in me. It will give me its power. But with every yellow moon, I will turn into a demon.

S: This will be a problem. But as long as we are careful, it will be alright.

C: And the good news is that we now have ten shards in total. Only two remain.

S: Then let's find the eleventh. Then, kill Lucifer for the last one.
