Advent of Cataclysm.

"Your house...?" The girl beneath them asked, accepting her phone from him with a concerned gaze. "Are you o-" 

"Thanks," Kai made a gesture of gratitude to the girl and turned to Ava. 

"Do you think it's Andrew?" Ava held his hand when he tried to push past her into the isle. 

"I intend to find out," Kai stared at her, seeing her hesitance in letting him through. "What are you doing?" He huffed and rested his hand on the seat next to her. "Move." 

"But, what if those things are there, the whole point of you staying over yesterday was because you were trying to avoid encountering them again, right?" Ava challenged his hasty decision, trying to inject some level of reason and rational thought into the situation, but she found his eyes locked onto her and hostility in his tone when he spoke again. 

"Ava, don't think for a second that I won't hurt you if you start getting in my way, if that dead guy is in fact Andrew it means that Susana might be in trouble, or worse.." His eyes widened further, casting a scary aura around him when for a moment she thought she saw his grey irises go black, it was only a second, but it was enough to cause her to stiffen in shock and fright.

Seeing the frightened girl before him, Kai scooped her out of her seat and left her standing in the isle as he ran out of the bus, practically leaping over the head of an officer by the gate and diving into a full sprint disappearing around a corner before anyone could figure out what the hell had happened.

"Well," Ava stood there staring at the seat and sighing. "Okay, I guess I follow?" She ran out as well, also running in the direction he had gone in. 

"What are the chances of it not being Andrew that was killed, and that too right in front of my house?" Kai started cursing himself while he leaned his torso nearly parallel to the ground gaining more speed with every stride until the lines of light separating the ground and the buildings around him started blurring into one.

With the level of urgency he had put on the matter, Kai didn't even notice how fast he was running, he was too focused to notice the vehicles he zoomed past, just as he was barely able to see anyone, most of the people he passed didn't even notice him at all.

"I sent him there yesterday and now there's someone dead again, a student from my school, I shouldn't have made that request, I should have gone home! I should have known better!" Kai berated himself, cutting through the alley he had been confronted in the day before and zooming past the two pools of blood where the two entities had killed the men. "Please be safe, please, Susana!" 

The walk home usually took him two or three hours depending on if he made a detour at the store, but today, Kai made the entire journey in just fifteen minutes, and he did so without stopping or taking a breath even once.

"What the hell...?" A police officer guarding the scene of the crime shook his head from shock when Kai seemed to just appear next to him, holding on to the tape and staring at the scene of the crime, he did see Andrew's backpack there, but more than that-

"Hey, back away from the line, kid," The officer grabbed his hand ready to pull him away from the tape but reclined in shock when Kai's skin burnt him, it was only at this point that he realised the boy was steaming, with the air visibly distorted around him from the heat he was producing, his every breath was a huff of steam as if there was a furnace inside of his chest. "What the hell?" 

"I thought someone was killed here yesterday," Kai slowly craned his head, maniacally staring up at the man with his right eye's iris pitch black and his sclera grey, while the pupil was completely white. "What happened to Andrew?" 

"Who?" Another officer asked, approaching from the opposite direction after seeing the look on his partner's face. 

"The teenager who was killed yesterday!" Kai snapped turning towards the other police officer, once more his appearance had returned to normal and his body that had been overheating had completely cooled in the few seconds that it took the man to walk over and rest his hand on his shoulder. 

"The victim's name is not-" 

"Kai?" 

Kai spun with a huff and sigh of relief when he heard the familiar voice.

"Andrew," He brushed the officer's hand off his arm and walked over to his school peer, grabbing his shoulder and shaking him. "Where is Susana?" He demanded an answer as soon as he met with Andrew, swerving under his raised hand and grabbing him with a growl. 

"I told her to leave, I told her that you said she should leave, but-" 

"But?" Kai's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean "but?" He clenched his jaws. 

"She went back inside and said she would wait for you, I haven't slept, I have been watching the house all night... nobody came out... that kid that was killed, he just showed up and died..." He whispered.

"What do you mean by that?" 

"I already gave the police statements; I didn't see what happened, he was just walking by and the next thing I know he was on the ground in a pool of blood-"

"So... Susana is still inside?" Kai ignored the part about a random person's death that had nothing to do with him and looked at the house. "With that man?" He asked.

"No, that guy left earlier today, he just went into his car and left-"

"With Luggage?" 

"N-no, barehanded," Andrew looked at Kai weirdly. "What are you-"

"Did he overhear you yesterday when you told Susana to get out?" Kai continued probing Andrew for a clearer picture. "Was he there?" 

"I don't know, he wasn't by the door but-" 

"Shit," Kai released him nearly pushing him to the ground as he turned to the house and then to the officer who was standing at bay and watching them speak, trying to listen to their whispers. 

"Kid, you can't-" 

"I live there!" Kai snapped furiously, swatting the officer's hand away from himself and snapping the crime-scene tape with a single tug. "Don't get in my way!" 

"I'm saying you can't!" Damnit!" The officer grabbed him and quickly cuffed his hands behind him before he could react again. "This is still an active crime scene, you can't just do as you please!" 

"Why the fuck not?!" Kai growled. "Susana!" He turned to the house after seeing the curtains moving. "Susana!" Kai screamed again struggling against the officer to the point that his partner had to come help pin him to the ground. "You damn... get off me, what the hell is wrong with you?" 

"Calm down, Kai Mora," The man above him began chuckling and Kai saw a small drip of black goop fall before his face silencing him as his eyes widened in horror. "The human you call Susana, is never coming back, kekeke~" He continued laughing presssing Kai's back with his knee and cutting his breath with his weight. 

Slowly, the house began heating over, smoke began rushing out of the windows, and in one great explosion, the rooftops caved and the walls crumbled with with the bellowing screech of some unknown creature in the midst of the fire. 

"Only Hél awaits beyond those burning walls."
