The Dark Goddess

Chapter 1

Ami knew her eyes were definitely glowing as the lens flare effect appeared in her vision.

She felt a rush unlike ever before within her,

twasn't no adrenaline,

twas power,

Power with a dark twist to it like a comedy horror movie; funny but gruesome nonetheless.

At that point she faced her attacker and did the only possible thing at that moment,

She attacked him as well.

She stretched her right hand to him palm forwards in a pushing gesture and unleashed the turmoil within her.

The wave of the outpour almost overwhelmed her and the flow of power came out in a jet stream of dark storm clouds that packed power like a strong wave of the force of the wind.

The cloud streak flooded him and blasted him backwards till he hit the wall of the alley they were in and held him in place suspended in the air and plastered to the wall.

She lifted her outstretched hand up slowly while keeping up the hold she had on the power coming from within her,

as her hand moved so did he, he was struggling at this point with the wind knocked out of him and in a state of panic.

Using the force of the power she pulled him forwards and slammed him back on the wall again.

She wanted to keep going, to keep slamming him till he turns to mush, but the popping sound she'd heard mixed with his shriek of agony stopped her from so doing.

Then she looked into his eyes, her glowing violet eyes bored into his and she could've sworn she saw his soul all scared and scarred.

She had wanted to kill him or at the very least make him suffer,

but she inhaled deeply and withdrew the surge of power.

'I'm not a killer' she thought to herself 'neither am I a sadistic psychopath like him who gets off from hurting young girls, I'm better than him' she reminded herself.

As the clouds left him, he dropped to the ground in a heap and gave another moan of pain.

'Who knew the fool could feel pain' she thought once again,

She was seething and knew herself that she was still really angry.

"Pp..pp..please, ss..stopp, nno more" the man cried hugging himself on the ground.

"Look at me" Ami said to him putting her anger in her voice

The man scampered up to a kneeling position and reluctantly looked up at her.

Ami almost faltered when she saw his chest where the clouds had hit, it was smoldering along with every other part of his body that came in contact with the clouds

But she maintained her angry composure as she tongue lashed him;

"You good for nothing, crazy ass psycho, you feel you can exert your sadistic ways on defenseless young girls and get away with it? Do you think we're so defenseless now?" She asked

He shook his head vigorously and then winced in pain at the movement.

'He must've been hurt in his head too' she thought with a little remorse 'Ugh why am I feeling remorse towards this son of a b***h?' She chided herself.

But it was getting harder and harder to maintain her angry composure as she was about to start feeling sorry for what she'd done to the man, he'll have scars forever both mentally and physically.

She really had to say what she wanted to say now,

"I can hear sirens already, so here is what you will do; you will give yourself up to the police and tell them of your crimes along with the evidence of said crimes, every girl you've damaged and every body you've buried, if you don't or even if you do and somehow your lawyers and connections get you out of receiving the proper punishment, I'll be back, and trust me when I say it won't be pleasurable" she said to him with vicious intensity.

The man nodded countless times over "Yyes, yes I will, I..I mean I won't".

She left him there dazed and muttering and wondered if he'd really do as she told him to, after all he is a man in a powerful position; one of the city's councilor.

She went to where her friend was lying on the ground, dazed as well and slipping in and out of consciousness.

'How had the plan gone so wrong?' Ami asked herself as she carried her friend on her back and headed away from the vicinity as fast as she could.

The plan had been simple;

Ever since Sandy (Ami's best friend) had dug up the dirt on Councilor Deckard, she'd been all about exposing his secrets and getting justice for the poor girls that had fallen victim to his sadistic ways.

Sandy was on the school paper unit, in fact she was the junior chief editor and so had written a lot of anonymous exposés accusing the man of his crimes,

But each investigation was always poured out because try as they might no one could find any proof of said accusations, hence why "the plan" was made.

The plan was for Ami and Sandy to disguise (hair dyed, light makeup, exposing clothes; all things the councilor looks for in his victims) and then get the councilor to take a hit on them (at least one of them so the other can follow as backup, even as the first gathers the evidence of the expected vile actions)

Ami and Sandy had been best friends since they found each other and so had done some wild things together but they both agreed that this was the wildest they'd done yet.

The plan started going wrong from the moment the councilor actually invited them both in his car offering them a lift home and brought them to the silent alley he'd planned to use for them,

He had firstly knocked Ami out as she was beside him riding shotgun and before Sandy could run out of the car he had pounced on her and dragged her out,

He then tied her hands behind her, turned her around and hit her in the face so hard that her vision swam.

He groped and fondled her a bit then gagged her and went to carry Ami as well from the car.

Somehow Sandy had managed to get her hands in front of her and she'd stood up and was running off,

The councilor dropped Ami like a sack and ran after her, he caught her and knock her hard once more, this time though the blow was hard enough to really stun her.

Then the councilor turned around only to see a fully conscious and very angry Ami;

What both the councilor and Sandy did not know was that Ami had awakened to having some really weird and disturbing powers a few months back.

She had kept it a secret from even her best friend who is also her only friend,

But now she was so angry that keeping it a secret now seemed irrelevant.

Sandy was really hurt and the sadistic psycho actually had a grin on his smug face when he saw her standing.

'Well he got what he deserved' Ami thought to herself as she pulled out from her thoughts.

Although she found it hard believing her own thoughts, partly because she didn't yet trust whatever the power within her was,

It was too angry and bloodthirsty.

'That's not me' she said to herself a tear drop rolling down her cheek

That is not Ami...

*

Amita, Ami for short, is a dark skinned, brown eyed, brown haired young girl of fifteen,

She loves music and is always seen with an earphone, ear buds or headset.

She loves to sing as well but hardly does it in public.

She knows nothing of her origin and has grown up knowing only the fact that she was an orphan in a Catholic orphanage till she was eight.

She got adopted then.

Her parents were business people and knew nothing else but how to handle their businesses.

Ami could swear they adopted her probably because it was necessary for a business deal.

Her adoptive mother was almost always on the phone and her adoptive father on the computer system.

She had not known the love of a parent and actually didn't know what to expect, but she knew it wasn't what she got.

She never complained because she never lacked anything ever again, it was a serious upgrade to the orphanage.

If she needed anything all she need do was ask; her mom told her that while having a group chat meeting on the phone the very day she arrived.

Whenever it was checkup day though her parents acted as actual parents for that hour and whenever the agents (sometimes Reverend Sisters and sometimes Child Services officials) asked her how she was doing or coping, she'd give a wide smile and say "I'm doing fine", "Terrific", "Its totally awesome here" or some other lie,

But it was a necessary lie.

She met Sandy at school and they became tight since the very first day.

Sandy had caught her crying in the restroom and had gotten her to open up.

Then she explained her life's situation (including the treatment she got at school from the other kids because of various reasons to include her skin colour) to Sandy, Sandy explained hers as well,

Sandy's parents were the silent billionaire type, hence why they even sent her to such a school (the school was really good but considering how rich they were, it could've been much better)

But her parents wanted their status hidden, they were into real estate and made it really big there.

To them Sandy was more of an inconvenience, they never bothered about her and always gave her more than enough money,

But Sandy refused to let herself be spoilt and in fact she loved being silently rich as well.

Now the two girls had met and from then on they had promised to always defend each other and always be there for each other especially since both their parents weren't really there.

Ami got tired and her legs started to wobble,

She dropped Sandy on the sidewalk and held her up trying to rouse her.

"Hey Sandy... Wake up please... please wake up Esay" she said between sobs calling her by the nickname she gave to her from the first letter of her name 'S'.

"Uhn, hey... What happened... Did we get away... He was gonna kill us" Sandy started to say as she finally woke up and also broke down sobbing.

"We got him, at least someone did, it all happened so fast I didn't really see it but he's gonna give himself up and admit to every crime he ever did" Ami said weaving a lie with the truth.

"Really?... We did it?" Her best friend asked in surprise.

"Yeah, we sure did Es" Ami answered

They hugged each other once more and then their sobs turned to chuckles then laughter.

"Quick, lets go wash this dye off our hair and pretend we had absolutely nothing to do with the whole thing" Sandy stated as they got up and headed home.

"Hey we are like secret superheros like that ain't we? Ami and Esay prowling the night and taking down nasties" Sandy added

Amy could only give an awkward laugh, if only Sandy knew how close to the truth she was.

But another thing bothered Ami, Sandy had called them superheros,

but the power she felt within her isn't that of a hero...

It was vile and dark

Turmoil in nature and bloodthirsty

These were not the qualities of a hero

The power she felt within her was like that of a villain.
