Mellene West 1: The Introduction

Chapter Three: Mellene Meets Vilgax

MELLENE MEETS VILGAX

Sun rises and it's a Saturday. Mel rose up and saw that the curtain that separated the balcony and a little part of the room from the remaining was already open. She wondered what it would be, she had locked her room before she slept.

Suddenly, the rocking chair diagonally opposite her was moving by itself, wind rushed in with a fright Mel's bones making her a little bit cold and scared. Unable to move out of fear, she said in a loud stammering voice;

“Wwwww……..whhho……….who……is……there”.

No one responded, this made her scared the more but she mustered up all the courage in her and drew the curtains back.

The sound came again but this time angrier as if expecting her to be frightened and run out of the room. She paused and looked at the curtains, they were drawn open again. She walked over to close it but paused noticing a dark figure at the corner of the room.

“Who's there”

No one responded, she went closer to the image and tried to touch it……….the image grew bigger and bigger till it reached a ten footed height. She freezes in fear.

Suddenly, the room bece dark and a thick purple light burst in from the window and a huge hurricane occured in the room, Mel was already on the floor with her eyes close and shaking in fear. Minutes later, the hurricane and noise stopped. Mel opened her eyes and rose her gaze a little, she was sharing eye contact with a large ten footed demon with claws for fingers, huge winge like that of a bat, head made of strong metalliod constructed to look like that of a dragon with a furry body that wreaks of terror and distruction. He was tall, with piercing red eyes and jet-black hair that fell to his shoulders. His voice was deep and sinister, sending shivers down Mel's spine.

“So”…………talking in a very deep and sinister voice that is deeper than that of a bass guitar.

“You mean to say that I do not scare you”.

Mel said nothing.

“Answer me!“…….. saying in a loud voice and hitting the ground that caused a very loud frightenimg voice at the same time. He looked at her with keen interest and saw something special in her, she had special powers and knew that she wasn't aware of this. He continued;

“So, that was what brought me to my normal powerful self”

"Hello, Mel" he said, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "My name is Vilgax. And you, my dear, are quite interesting for a little girl like you."

Mel's heart racing at the sightof the demon, she tried to step back, but her feet seemed too stiff and heavy to move.

"W-what do you want?" she stuttered.

Vilgax chuckled, his eyes glinting with mischief.

"Oh, I think you know exactly what I want, Mel. And soon, you'll be begging to give it to me."

“W-what is t-t-t-that?“……she asked in a little voice that showed fear.

“P….O…..W…..E…..R, you already gave me power, but there's one thing”.

“What is that”.

“It's not enough”.

As he spoke, the air around them seemed to grow colder, and Mel felt his dark hand closing in around her, he carried her on his hand and explained something to her.

“You see, I was a demon that knew all the spells in the world, but none of told me how to get stronger. I wanted to take over the world and I didn't have the patience to wait for power do I decided I would haunt every house with my powers that allow me to be in several places at once”.

While explaining, he let Mel down on the bed, shape shifted into a man in normal human height and sat at the left hand side of Mel on the bed.

“So what happened?“……..said Mel in a voice that is less scared than before.

“I haunted everyhouse except one, I decided to do that one one my own. I went in and haunted the house a little and the people of the house called a priest and he made me weak and locked me in this room for 15years until you came”.

“What happened when I came?“…..she asked with keen interest.

“I felt a strong power within you, a power so strong that it could rule the world with an iron fist. Then I used every ounce of my powers left to connect to you both spiritually and subconsciously thereby being free but still one with you”.

“So you are saying that you and I are connected?“.

“Yes”.

“And we are one?“.

“Yes”

“Mmmmmm, interesting”……Me said in a happy way.

In Mel's mind: “so that means I have superpowers and one with a demon?“

“Yes”…….. Vilgax said startling Mel a little.

“Can you hear what I'm saying in my mind?“.

“Of course, we are connected, which is one delay in my plan to take over the world”…says Vilgax in an angry tone.

“How?“…Mel asks in confusion.

“If you die, I die and if I die, you die?“.

“Sooooo. You are saying, you can't hurt me and I get a free protector who will teach bad people a lesson, wooo hooo?“,…..she shouts out of joy and jumps on the bed dancing facing the other way forgetting that there was a demon at her back. Vilgax chuckles a little, frowns a bot and then fades into the shadow at the corner of the room leaving Mel to her joyful moment. What she did not notice was that upon the noise, no one came to check on her.
