thanks for reviewing, my exams are officially over as is this fanfic :( anyway DofE expedition tomorrow so wish me luck. final note there might be delays on posting as my kindle is acting up and won't charge.
I keep my back turned, I'm too afraid to look at them.
"Mai, what just happened? What's that mark on your neck? Is that... what I think it is?"
Monk calls cautiously across to me, his voice hinging on fear. I shrug, I can't do this. My eyes are already starting to sting.
"Kin, heal me please"
I call out turning to face them, so they can see what I am. The claw marks by my neck close so there's only a light red from swelling. I feel rather than see my stomach wound closing, back to how it was before I healed Masako. Finally my head wound stops, the blood fading from my head. There's no physical pain but I feel pain when I see how they look at me.
"Demon, it's a demon sign isn't it Mai?!"
Oliver asks, his voice echoing across the glade. I nod, keeping my head high. I have no reason to feel ashamed.
"Why are you letting a demon possess you? Do you know how dangerous it is Mai. What were you thinking?"
Monk explodes, anger in his eyes.
"Me! What was I thinking? You have no right to say that to me when you lot left me. Do you know what it's like, afraid to go to sleep. Spending hours every night recounting prayers and buying charms. Anything that could have made it stop! But it wouldn't stop, my PK burned through the charms, the dreams wouldn't stop!"
There's shock on their faces, masked by fear, that's when I snap.
"Shall I show you what a freak looks like?! Kin leave my body. Do it now!"
I know It's left because the next moment the wind picks up and the trees start creaking, small branches twist and snap..
"I had a death vision and when I woke up. My flat was destroyed. I can't let my emotions get out of control because then this happens"
The wind roars, the trees thrash and cry, whacking into each other, the leaves falling down like confetti. But they stand there, trapped in the tornado called me.
"This happened again and again, running on the streets away from other people, the police. Kin found me and stopped me from taking my life so don't you dare criticise me, you have no right after abandoning me"
Kin possesses me again and the storm stops, the leaves freezing in mid air before falling in a ring around them. I know they're scared, heck, I would be terrified. Even Naru can't keep his poker face anymore.
"Don't pretend you know me because you don't! I went through that for a whole month before I found Kin. And where were you?"
My voice cracks and I can't bare to look at them anymore.
"Don't pretend to know what I am"
At that I start running. Far from them! I hear them calling but I can't stop, the weight in my chest won't lift. Tears run in streaks across my face but I don't care. My lungs start to hurt but I know where I need to go. Back to Gene.
That's the last chapter folks. Hope you loved it as much as I loved writing it, there is a sequel in the works so hang on.
