No more

I'm not going to stand for his bullshit anymore. I'm done. He can avoid the truth all he wants, but he betrayed us. He's a lying filth and he's stolen everything from us. If he comes here again, I won't tolerate him. Ai, I'm sorry, but he isn't my ally anymore. I was stupid to even think that he had a good side.

The night after we talked to him, I was sitting in our room watching over Chas as he slept. Slendy appeared next to the bed across from me and simply looked at me for a bit. I stared at him angrily for a few moments, but tried to focus on my game. I didn't want to cause trouble, but eventually it became too much. I threw the xbox controller I was holding as hard as I could at his head. He disappeared the instant it was about to hit him, causing it to shatter against the wall and leave a large hole where it hit. He reappeared next to me and bent over me. I didn't do anything. I wasn't afraid. I just looked back and ignored the burning feeling in my mind. I could feel him trying to speak to me but I repelled his mental probe as forcefully as I could, which actually caused him to recoil a bit. The anger radiating from him was terrifying, but I stood my ground. Finally, I let him in my head to talk.

"You are my greatest failure, you know." He said.
"How so?" I replied.
"I lost you to a mere fledgling, one who, were it not for my desire to allow him to grow, should be another of my servants. You have given me no end of trouble."
"You deserve it. How dare you say you haven't done anything wrong. You broke the truce. You tried to Hallow Taben. You took Allen, someone you said you would never harm. We were idiots for trusting you to the degree that we did."
"Then the fault lies with you and you alone. You know my nature. You know of my compulsion to kill. You know the stories told about me. If you were truly wise, you would never have allowed me near either of them, not that that would have stopped me. Taben was foolish to believe that I would give up your mate, whom I have been pursuing in secret for many years, in exchange for his own life. The rest of you were foolish to think that I would be tamed by a mere human child."
"Then I don't want anything more to do with you. I won't abide by your presence any longer. Get out now."
"Before I go, I should remind you of something."
"What?"
He gestures to Chastin. "You should know that his time is coming soon. You cannot keep him from me much longer."
I let out an anguished cry and threw a punch at his head with all my strength. He caught it in his hand and held it, leaning closer to my face.
"You will not be a Revenant forever, child. Your time is also coming. Do not forget."
He disappears.

I hate him. He won't lay a finger or tentacle on Chastin. If we have to, we'll run. If it works for M it might work for us. For now, however, I need to focus on helping Ai.

  2. You're a fucking moron, Malkin. I told you trusting him was a bad idea. Ye have sown the wind, and ye shall surely reap the whirlwind.

    Ride the lightning, love.

  3. I'm aware of my mistakes, KK. I trusted him to keep his promises because I knew he would want to keep Aiden safe. I was under the impression that Allen was like Sandra to him. It isn't, however, my fault that he took Taben. I knew he'd betray him and I knew Chastin wouldn't be safe despite everything Taben said. What's important now is that we keep him away from us and try to fix our mistakes.
