Erelah POV
I swallowed as I looked at the person in front of me, holding the knife I don’t know where he got it he was looking at me while there was a horrible grin on his lips.
What’s happening? Why … why did Damon stab a woman who did nothing to him, why … why is he just like that when he looks at me? Why … why does he look like that? He’s scary, he’s terrifying. He looks like a…
“Erelah!” Damon’s lifting of his knife in the air made me close my eyes and he was about to stab me, at the same time a familiar voice called my name. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to be lost in this world.
A few minutes passed without feeling any pain in my body, I slowly opened my eyes and was even more stunned to see Damon’s knife stuck in his shoulder, my knees suddenly trembled and grew bigger. my eyes as I see Damon’s super cold eyes staring at me.
“Are you alright?” He asked coldly while holding the knife stuck in his shoulder, I didn’t answer because I didn’t know what to answer, I just felt my hand move away from Damon but my shocked gaze remained on Damon with a wound.
What happened? What did Damon do? Shouldn’t he stab me? Why was the knife stuck in his shoulder? Why didn’t Damon continue killing me?
I could feel the commotion of the people around because of what Damon did, then it just sank into my brain that Gazer pulled me away from Damon who was now talking to him. I need to go to Damon, I need to find out why he didn’t continue to kill me.
I was about to walk when someone blocked me in front of me to stop me.
“Now isn’t the right time to approach Damon. Let’s get Damon to Gazer first.” Havacco says I don’t know where it came from.
I looked again in the direction of Damon and Gazer who were now surrounded by cops. I looked at Havacco as he held my hand.
“Let’s go Erelah.” He said while smoking a cigarette.
“Damon,” I said, he looked at me then looked at Gazer and Damon’s behavior. “W-What’s going on, why …. why is he like that–”
“It wasn’t Damon who tried to kill you.” He said so I looked at him, I could see in his eyes how serious he was. I’m confused, I don’t understand. Not Damon? But Damon was with me before and not Achaz, I’m sure it was Damon because when we were on the Ferris wheel he hugged me.
“A Psycho was with you earlier Erelah,” Havacco said seriously then pulled me away from where I was standing. I turned my attention to Damon’s behavior again and my heart almost dropped when I saw Damon staring at me as he was handcuffed and supported by some medics.
My tears immediately flowed as I looked at him, His stares, Damon’s stares seemed to be asking if I was okay even though he was the one with the wound.
Havacco took me to his car, where I wiped the tears that dripped from my eyes, Havacco looked at me then sighed.
“It’s been said that this is what will happen.” He said then threw away his cigarette butt, I looked at him.
“What’s going on Havacco? I’m confused, I’m sure Damon was with me before and not Achaz. If Achaz was with me why … why did he imitate Damon? Why did he make me believe he was Damon? ” My next question, he just looked at me and then started the engine of his car when I held his hand. He looked at me because of what I did, my tears dripped again as I looked at him.
“Please Havacco, tell me what’s going on, I’m confused. Why did Damon want to kill me earlier? Why didn’t he go ahead and put the knife on his shoulder? Who is Damon?” I cry question. I don’t know why I’m crying, is it because of fear? In pity? or because I’m confused? I don’t know, I’m feeling mixed emotions now after Damon almost killed me.
“Please, explain to me all Havacco. Why is Damon like that? Is he a lunatic?”
“Damon Erelah isn’t crazy!” He suddenly shouted causing me to be surprised and suddenly afraid of him because of his aura. Only now have I heard Havacco shout, only now have I seen such aura of his.
I swallowed and only now did I realize what I had said.
“He’s not Crazy do you understand ?! He’s sober Erelah, Sober. The alters and his host are the ones with the problem, not him!” He said angrily so I was stunned.
“W-What do you mean?” I asked the reason for him to stop, he averted his eyes and then took a deep breath. “Alters? Host?” I added.
He took a deep breath and then squeezed his forehead while closing his eyes, I could feel him holding back.
“Damon is an alter, Erelah,” he said reason for the calm inside of his car. “He’s one like Achaz, they’re both alter.” I kept staring at him as my brain processed what he said. “He’s different, he’s not like Achaz and Chai. Even though he’s an alter he has a different temperament.” He said he then punched the steering wheel of his car causing me to be shocked.
Then Damon didn’t own that body? Damon, is it just an alter like Achaz?
“The one who was with you at the Ferris wheel and imitated Damon was the host, Chai was with you before and as I said a psycho was with you before Erelah, that’s why Gazer and I have been following you before because we know that any time after Achaz comes out, Chai will also come out. ” He said he then wiped his face because of the frustration he felt.
I remained silent, I didn’t know what to say because of what he said.
“You know …. that a psycho is a host in that body but you just let me approach him?” My voice trembled when I said that, he looked at me reason to draw annoyance in my chest.
“You know… I could be ruined but you just let me approach him?” I will ask. “HE ALMOST KILLED ME HAVACCO!” I cried and tears flowed because of the annoyance I was feeling.
“WE DIDN’T FORCE YOU TO COME TO HIM ERELAH, YOU ASKED GAZER TO COME CLOSE TO DAMON BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO GET BACK TO DAMON!” He shouted back so I fell silent and lost strength. He was right, of course, I was the one who insisted because all I knew was that Damon was just a normal person who was angry with the world because he was always trying to commit suicide.
“But he almost killed me,” I said softly, he shook his head.
“It’s Chai, but you saw that the knife was pointed at his body because that’s Damon Erelah, Damon stopped Chai from planning to do this to you. I know Damon, he would rather be hurt than the people around him. ” He said so I fell silent again because I again remembered Damon’s question when I opened my eyes earlier.
“Are you alright?”
“Once he did that when Gazer and I were kids, Achaz was about to stab me but Damon came out immediately and chose to push his hand on his body rather than hurt me.” He said softly so I looked into his eyes, he was serious and telling the truth.
“Even though Damon’s treatment is cold, he’s still different from Achaz and Chai. So if you’re afraid of Damon now you’ll take care of your life, we won’t force you to believe if you’re still confused about everything to ask Gazer since childhood the three of us are the only ones who understand Damon’s condition except me. ” He said he then seriously started the engine of his car.
“We’re going to the jail where they took Damon.” He said seriously then drove quietly.
