Chapter 9. Life Revisited is Torture.

(Neiro's Point of View)

"Stupid southern bitch and her fucking sister just have to get into everything don't they?!" I grumble while heading to my dorm.

"It seems that you're angry," Nova said, walking up to me.

"You've seen them too haven't you?" I say darkly.

Nova opens up her closed eyes, revealing them to be glowing gold instead of their normal emerald green, "I have."

"I see that you really couldn't get rid of that side of you like you said you could," I say to her.

"What about you, you never got rid of your dark side," She says to me.

"My dark side is who I am, and I don't intend on letting it go anytime soon," I say, "Anyway, you should know not to intervene, there are people I care about that could be in danger and if even one of them gets hurt I will gladly kill whoever did it."

"How noble, but it's too bad that you can't see what I can, In the visions I can see what will happen and how to stop it but you only see the risk, you only see who get's caught up in your failure, now tell me would you even think of harming the one you aim to protect," She says ominously.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" I yell at her.

"Exactly what it meant two years ago," She answers coldly.

I start having a flashback to the event that she was talking about; I was standing in front of Nova, sword in hand, fending off what looked like people but with glowing, blood-red eyes.

Nova had grabbed onto my shoulder, "Neiro, you can't save everyone, you have to let some of them die in order to be able to win this."

"No, I wouldn't dare let anyone die and know it was my choice, and how do you know that they have to die? Maybe I can save them," I told her.

"Neiro I saw it in my vision someone *will** die but if we choose now we can prevent seeing who I saw dead," She explained.*

"No, I won't let anyone die," I yelled at her.

"Neiro, a true hero will accept a few losses if they can prevent even more," She told me.

"Then I'm not a true hero," I stubbornly argue. One of the red-eyed people had stealthily walked up to me from behind and lunged at me, I barely blocked it and I was about to slash at the guy with my sword but then my friend Zoe blocked the way yelling, "Stop! Don't hurt him!"

I recognized that the red-eyed boy was her boyfriend that I had met just days before, "Zoe step away from him before he hurts you."

"No!" She was sobbing, "No, Drew wouldn't ev- AAAHHHH!!" She was cut-off by Drew sinking his fangs into her jugular.

"NO!!" I yelled as I stabbed the sword through his neck, ripping his head off in the process, blood splattering all over my clothes.

Zoe was on the ground bleeding to death.

"No, please no," I sobbed as I saw the life leave her eyes, a look of terror on her face, two large holes on her neck that were gushing blood, "N-n- .. no."

"Neiro I told you, we could have prevented her death," Nova consoled me.

"Y-you knew that this would h-happen?" I ask her, my voice shaking with anger.

"Yes I knew that this would happen, but I told you that we could prevent it," She said.

"No, no, no, no NO, NO, NO, NO!!" I yell, Blue chain designs appeared on the length of my arms, the chains developed cracks and turned a dark purple. The chain shattered and my grey hair had become how it is currently, and my eyes had turned blood-red.

The flashback ends and I slowly come back to reality, "No. not this time Nova, I won't let anyone die."

"Are you sure?" Nova asked.

I run to the dorms, away from Nova, away from the memories.
