Dark Reality

I woke up in the middle of the night and I went to the window and checked outside and it was completely dark out. Strangely, someone is missing. I can't pinpoint exactly who they are exactly. I then notice the door slightly open. Looks like they already left and forgot to close the door properly. I tiptoed my way to the door and close it but I heard someone arguing outside so I crouch down and slowly take a peek and eavesdrop on them “You, didn’t I tell you to never return!” Vermillion shouted “Yes I remember but don’t you think you need my help?” Thalia said “Help? Help about what?” Vermillion cluelessly ask “You know, to evict Ramon from presidency” “You did rank second in the polls and you know what that means” “I am sure father will be so proud of you if he heard the new that his son will be the new president of the student council” Thalia excitedly said “Not happening!” “First you played with his heart and now you want him to get evicted?” “What’s wrong with you!” Vermillion shouted “Me? Or do you mean you?” “When did the next demon lord become so soft? Where is the Vermillion that everyone is terrified of” Thalia mocked “Stop bringing up the past okay!” “That version of me is long forgotten!” Vermillion said “Long forgotten or you just can’t face the facts that someone is better than you so the only resort is to join him” “Why can’t little Vermillion compete with Ramon? To think the future demon lord is bested by a nobody. In terms of academic and achievement he swipe you off the competition” “Oh yeah you did the same thing right? Back when we were highschool you did pull some string to reach the top spot but now look you decided to play fair. Are you really a demon?” Thalia mocked “Maybe he is not a demon?” “Coz by the looks of it you are more suited in becoming a demon than him” “You just need long horns wings, and a tail” I rudely interrupted They both look shock upon hearing me step in to their argument “Long time no see Thalia or so I call Skylia” “No wonder I remember that black hair from somewhere. I remember that I saw the exact same hair in Vermillion’s video once” “I didn’t know you like getting banged” I teased “Oh yeah thanks for clarifying things not I can finally cut you out of my life” I said then I take my leave “Step aside!” I said then walk right pass straight at them “This is not over!” Vermillion threatened Thalia “Ramon, wait for me!” Vermillion shouted then he chases after me “What is it you want!” I pissedly said “I know you’ve heard everything and I am sorry” “I knew she was playing you the whole time but I didn’t bother telling who” “She was right I am a failure and I do not deserve to be the next demon lord” Vermillion is kind down “And you are telling me this because?” I suspiciously ask “Dude you mean a lot to me okay!” “For me you are not just my friend, you are like a brother to me” Vermillion said “f*****g your feelings!” I shouted as I face him “Stop acting so nice and concerned. Once a demon is always a demon” “You can never learn love, you can never learn to be kind. All of you are showing right now that you are not the true you. You’re just saying that to make me feel good and I can’t stand it” “I think it is best if you just leave me alone for the time being” I said “Okay! Okay” I said as I gave him two thumbs up then I turn my back at him then left Out of frustration he slammed his hand on the wall partially destroying it. Everyone inside the student council lounge woke up because of the ruckus. “Woah! What happened here?” Katarina ask as she saw the destroyed wall “Nothing, I’ll be going now” “Just tell the cleaners to find me later and give me the bill for my damages” “I’ll just pay for it later” “See yeah!” Vermillion said “What’s his problem?” Darryl Lyn pissedly ask “I don’t know exactly” Katarina said “Well, Ramon and Vermillion where arguing earlier” Thalia said “Looks like this is one major problem” Cherry Lyn frighteningly said “Well see you Kat, bye everyone” “We do have classes later and I still need to sleep a bit and fresh up” Darryl Lyn said She grabs her sister then they went on their way “So where do you think he went?” Cherry Lyn ask “He could be anywhere but I have a feeling we could find him” Darryl Lyn confidently said She picked up the face as they went to the parking lot. They quickly hop in their car and drive to the boarding house. On their way there they saw me walking along the side way. They stop in front of me and peek out the window “Hey, need a lift?” Cherry Lyn concernly ask “Nah I’m good I do need some alone time. I just want to remove this thought in my head that’s all” “So don’t worry about me, okay. I’ll be fine” I said as I continue walking Darry Lyn steps on the gas just enough to keep up with my pace “But if you need someone to talk to contact us okay” “Take care Ramon” Cherry Lyn said “Looks like everyone is awake now and for sure this is going to be a big talk in the morning” “I wish I could just ditch school for a while” I said “Well you know you can do that right?” Someone said amongst the shadows “Who is there!” I said as I activated my eyes and track where the voice came from I did manage to locate the voice came from but the person is already gone “Show yourself!” I shouted “Calm down Ramon. I am not here as your enemies in fact I am your ally” “I want you to reform this institution and you really need my help” He said as he relieves him He caught my attention the moment I saw his face came out of the shadow “Okay I am listening” I said “You need my help because the board is the toughest thing you will come across with” “I’ll be your eyes and ears inside the conference room” Anino said “Okay what is the catch?” I ask “Nothing in particular” “I just want a fair environment for my people” “Come I’ll show you something” Anino said He takes me to a place where there is not a single light post working and the surroundings were a bit run down. He then vanishes all of a sudden leaving me all alone “f**k he tricked me!” a thought inside my head I brace myself of whatever might happen but it turns out weak and sad shadows came popping out one by one “Now you see the current situation of my clan” “This institution only focuses on material aspect of this world but we shadows belong to the spiritual aspect so we are not so blessed when it come to the ranking system” “As you said each individual has its own capabilities, they just need the right timing and activity to showcase their skills and talents. So please Ramon, you can use me in your disposal as long as you manage to fulfill your dream in reforming this institution” Anino said “Yes mister” “Please help us” a little shadow girl said and she looks so gloom and hopeless I kneel down and look her straight in the eye “Don’t worry president Ramon will take care of it” I cheerfully said “If you don’t mind me asking if your clan is one of the lowest, why are you part of the board?” “I am a little bit curious” I ask “Great observation Selena Utopia, Vandalir Von Suck, and Procyon Von Dire are all upper ranking clans” “But clan ranking is out of the question, the board is decided by power ranking. The top six individuals are the ones managing this institution and the strongest one is the headmaster” He said I felt goosebumps upon hearing those words come out of his mouth and the chilly filling engulfed me like no other. The nice lady I meet is actually the strongest monster here in this institution and she’s only a human. I didn’t thought that was even possible “I need to head back” “It was nice meeting you?” I said but apparently I couldn’t speak up his name “Call me Anino” “Anino Nightfall” He said as he offer me his hand
