Chapter One Hundred And Thirty Four
David
I’m back on planet Earth, and I feel stronger and better than before. I believe the reason why I feel this way is because I have reached my full potential. I have turned into a full werecat, a werepanther the same way I turned into a werepanther when we were battling Michael. I never thought I’d see this sexy side of myself again, but here I am looking and feeling like a super big deal.
I am taller, almost the height of the Goddess Bastet, and I am muscular and stronger. I have cute whiskers, and I have sharper and stronger claws than before. I have the biggest fangs ever, and I’m going to use this power; unlike Dura here, I am going to use all this power for good.
“Oh, David.” I hear Max say, I look at him, and everyone’s looking at me in awe, even my parents. I can’t believe they get to see me like this.
“You guys stay back. Dura’s mine.” I say the sound of my voice is all deep and raspy. I feel like a huge hunk tonight.
I face Dura.
“You guys handle the bald-headed witch.”
“Oh, we will.” Mama Tife promises sounding pissed.
I let out a roar, and I launch forward, tackling Dura like we’re in a game of American football. We go flying out the window and we’re floating in the air. Oh wow, I can fly. I didn’t think that would be possible, but I’m flying, and so is Dura.
Dura gets himself free from my grip, and he looks at me with a scowl, shamelessly using my brother’s body for evil.
I’m going to get my revenge; I’m going to teach this demon a lesson he’ll live to regret, but of course, he’s not going to be living. He’s going to be dead soon. I am going to make sure of it. I’m not going to let him live that isn’t possible. There’s a reason why I’ve gotten this upgrade and that’s going to hurt him badly.
“You think just because you got a new catsuit, you’re going to destroy me?” He asks. “The Goddess has nothing on me, there’s a reason why they call me Dura. I’m a demon of the underworld.”
“Yeah, but before that, you were a sad twink who everyone used to pick on, and you went to kill everyone who went and picked on you.”
“I DIDN’T KILL THEM BECAUSE THEY PICKED ON ME!” He yells, and it causes thunder and lightning to appear. For a second, I thought a storm was about to come out of the shadows.
“I killed them because they killed the love of my life,” he says sadly and I almost feel bad for him because homophobic straight men did invent the man I’m looking at today.
“So yes, I had power, and I felt more powerful than my bullies. They deserved everything they got.” he spits angrily. “They would have probably done the same thing to you if you lived in that era, and you would have gotten your revenge because I know you, David. I know how vengeful you can be. You want to avenge your brother right now.”
And I hate to admit that he’s right, but I’m not going to do that; I’m just going to keep that thought in my head. Elijah has always told me that sometimes revenge is never the answer, and sometimes trash takes itself out every time.
But I shouldn’t be defeating him because I want revenge. I should be doing so because if I don’t stop him, then he’ll wreak havoc on the world.
“So let’s not fight David, join me. We’re a family, we shouldn’t fight.”
I’m getting sick and tired of this man thinking that we’re the same because we are not. WHAT THE FUCK!
“I think I’ll pass,” I say, and then I charge toward him, throwing a punch on his face; he felt that punch because he held his face in surprise.
“What?”
“What?” I tease, and then I kick him, and he goes flying toward a building,g, but I stop him from hitting the building by rushing toward him and hitting his back.
He turns around and tries to use his powers on me. I take the power he throws my way. And he looks at me in shock. Then I throw it back at him; he goes flying. Then I rush toward him and grab him by the shirt.
“Your big mistake is thinking that you are so much stronger than a literal Goddess,” I say and he tries to leave my grip.
“But you’re not so.” I bring out my claws and place them inside his brain. He screams, and this time, the lightning and the thunder become super visible and it does look like a storm is coming. Dura screams and screams and screams. And the next thing I see is A cat-headed Goddess and a jackal-headed God floating my way.
“Daniel Ramirez, you are going to be punished for your crimes against humanity by eternal death and suffering. That should have been your punishment from the beginning.” The jackal-headed God says, and his voice is deeper than mine.
“You will be shown no mercy, and you will not be able to reach any human to deceive them ever again,” Bastet says, and Bastet does the honours and brings Dura out of my brother’s body and puts his soul into a bottle that glows a bright golden light. Dura doesn’t stop screaming when they place him inside the bottle.
“It’s a shame because the man he got revenge for is in paradise and he’s going to be in hell.” Bastet shakes his head.
Wow. Elijah was right; sometimes, revenge is not always the answer.
“I’ll take him,” Anubis says taking Miguel’s body.
“Is he going to be punished like Dura?” I ask and Anubis and Bastet exchange looks. Then they look back at me.
“That we cannot say,” Bastet says. “Because he has to stand trial first.”
“Oh,” I say and then she places her hand on my shoulder. “You should know that before he died, he was sorry that he hurt you, so who knows, the odds might be in his favour.”
I nod my head at least that’s better than saying that he’s going to hell.
“You saved the world, David, thank you.” She says and I just smile because I’m happy that everyone’s safe. The supreme beings float away with my brother in their arms.
I turn around and I fly back to the building. Everyone’s still here and they’ve been watching me.
I go back to normal. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I don’t know when I’ll be seeing my gigantic self again.
“Wow, that was fast,” Doug says.
“Dura’s a fucking pussy who thought he was strong but he really wasn’t.” I shrug and then I hear mumbling and sniffing. I turn to my left to see Max have his neck around Doctor Antoine, and Harper and Mama Tife stand next to him with anger on their faces.
“Now what do we do with you?” Max asks.
“We’ll take it from here.” Someone says, and we see Minerva, the head of the witch council, walking side by side with Ammon. Minerva is wearing a purple sparkly dress and Ammon is wearing a purple suit. Seriously, what is with the Mr and Mrs Smith cosplay? Are they dating? If so then I support because they look like a power couple.
“Antoine Russo you are under arrest for using dark magic and working with the demon Dura.” Max steps aside as a bunch of guards handcuff Antoine. “You will be stripped of your powers, and you will be in Magick jail for life.”
“NO! NO!” he pleads but it’s not worth it because Minerva isn’t going to listen. And he did commit a crime so he’s going to be punished. When his screaming becomes distant, Minerva faces me, and she walks toward me and stands before me.
“David Ramirez is saving our asses once again,” she says, and I laugh nervously. “We thank you, David, all of you,” she says to everyone.
“You all did what the council couldn’t. and we are…” Ammon sighs. “Grateful to all of you,” he says, facing Destiny, who is leaning on his father and looks like a mess. What fucking happned?
Ammon and Minerva walk away leaving us heroes behind.
“Is that it? Is it over?” Felicity asks with her hand around Destiny.
“Yes, yes, it is,” I say and everyone starts hugging each other. My parents hug each other. Destiny hugs his dad and Doug joins in. Ryan and Harper kiss each other and I’m kissing my man, my mate. It’s finally over.
Everyone is safe. Dura is dead.
