It was about a few hours after I had won over the curse on the guitar and I announced I was alive. I bet mother and father are having the biggest fit right now since they failed. I was going through the night market enjoying my new guitar but then I heard a voice. "Oh sweet child, nice guitar, now there are two curses you have" he said
"Shut up, I don't want to talk to you right now" I said
"Oh but you don't have a choice. I'm stuck with you because of your parents remember" he said
"Yeah how can I forget when your a constant annoyance" I said as I put my guitar on my back
"Oh that was hurtful, especially since I gave you power" the voice said again
"Yeah and what do I get, you controlling me at night murdering people" I said
"But you enjoy it" he said
"Yeah when it's for people who deserve it not innocent ones. Besides you were just put in me so my parents could control me as they pleased back then" I said
I tried to then ignore him but then a realization came up "but who says they still can't" the voice says
I froze. He's right, what's stopping them from just snapping there fingers and I'm just a mindless slave to them once more. Just like then they can do it again. "But I bet they forgot by now alright. They think I am out of there control by now and I can just get out of it." I said as I start walking again
"But you can't" he said
"Oh but I will, I'm to stubborn and I can just burn myself back to reality. Just like I did the first time" I said
I then looked at my left arm that shows lines of burnt skin still there. "And you know I will" I said
"I have no doubt you will, but what about your siblings" he said
"What about them, my parents think there perfect and don't need a curse to control them. Unlike me" I said
"But what's stopping them from doing it now that they know your back and they might listen to you more than them. They think you will tell them what they did four years ago as they tried to kill you. So explain to me Oden. What's stopping them" he said
"Well it's one simple thing, fear, fear of me busting down there petty doors and murdering them brutally as I get my siblings away from them. For good this time" I said
Then it became silent, "oh now you don't wanna talk. Struck a nerve did I or am I right" I taunted
Silence still. I smirk then walk knowing I won.

The next day-

I was in my classroom for Oracle and then the bell screams signaling lunch. I get up and start heading outside for the woods. I get deep enough so no one sees me so I can have my green hair again. I pull my guitar out of its cloth and strap it on. I then strum the bass cord and that gets rid of some of the trees and I can now see some snaggle backs. "Oh hi there" one said
"Hi, how does fresh snaggle back soup sound" I ask as I lick my lips. Showing my sharp teeth
They try to run but I do a lick on the guitar and it makes them float. "Oh I love this guitar" I said
I then summon a pot and make a fire to slowly boil them alive. Wait that sounds kinda sadistic. Meh I've already killed witches it's fine. I then make them into a oyster like dish like back in the human world. Oh those were some fun times in Texas for those years. Hopefully I can fully repay Camilla if I ever go back. Also I should see how her daughter is doing also, I'm sure she would fit right in the boiling isles. I then head back with my snaggle back oysters as I find my seat next to amity. "Sup, sorry I was making lunch" I said
"What is that" amity ask
"Something I learned to make over those four years. The place that I learned to make these they were called oysters, but there is none here so I used a pack of snaggle backs as a replacement" I explained as I ate one
"Want one" I ask
"No I'm good thanks though. So about yesterday. Where did you come up with the song" amity ask
"It was from a famous band back at the place that I went for four years. They made songs that kinda connected to me like they were just for me so I thought I could use that song to beat the demon" I said eating another oyster
"So where did you go for four years. Me and the twins searched all over the isles when we were in denial about your death and found nothing. It's like you disappeared into another place or something" amity asked
"Ah now that is a hard one to explain. I went to the human world somehow" I said
"THE HU-" "shussh someone going to hear you" I said
"The human world. But how" amity asked
"But that's the weird part. I don't know. I just blacked out before hitting the boiling sea then I was surrounded by trees and a old cabin behind me." I said
"But there's no portal to the human realm, and you fell in the boiling water which burned witches and monsters in seconds even with the most powerful spells." Amity said
"And still I don't know. But your wrong n one part there is a portal" I said
"Who has it" amity asked
"Some old witch with a owl staff at the market place but I didn't ask any questions since I needed to do my plan. Now it's my turn for questions, how did the family react to me" I asked
"Well Emira and Edric were exited since they idolized you as a kid and mother and father looked peeved, but when edric said everything can go back to the way it used to be they agreed but it felt off" amity explained
"Ha, those two good balls always did like to learn how to prank without getting caught. Well amity I'm gonna go introduce Joseph Taurus to them now." I said
"What about mother and father" amity ask
"Probably want to get there image boosted with me coming back and making a 'perfect family'" I said with air quotes
"Yeah probably. See you in abomination" amity said
"Yeah, also amity. Don't let mom and dad control who your friends are. Or who you love" I said
She looked at me then nodded. I see Emira and Edric talking to each other in the distance so I decide to do a classic prank I used to do to them. I make a spell circle and a bucket shows on top there heads. I point down and apple blood comes out and soaks them. "Pfffft hahaha, oh that never gets old" I laugh as I see them slip and fall and try to get up but fall again.
I walk over to them and use a spell to clean them up, "oh that never gets old, it's a classic and you two were just asking for it at this point" I said helping them up
"What was that for" Emira ask
"Oh you know, just trying to have fun like I use to." I said
They dust themselves off "well I do have to admit it was good" Edric admits
"Yeah, our brother used to do that to us all the time" Emira said
I then see them sad a little. "Wait aren't y'all the blights twins" I ask
"Yes we are, Edric and Emira at your service" they both said
"Wasn't y'all's brother on tv yesterday. He was playing against ragok I think for a guitar" I said
"Yeah he was, he was so good at it when he was a kid. We're glad he's back again and hopefully we will see him soon. Me and Edric miss him since he was the once that started teaching us how to prank people" Emira said
Maybe it's time since amity knows, then I can have there trust again so they can help me with Mother and Father. If I could even call them that. "Actually he is one of my friends that I met the other day. I could call him up to meet y'all" I said
"REALLY THAT WOULD BE GREAT" Edric yelled exited
"Yeah, oh how rude of us. We don't even know your name." Emira said
"Oh yeah kinda need to know that. I'm Joseph Taurus. I transferred from glandus a few weeks back" I lied
"Ah well welcome to hexide. And thanks for helping us see our brother. Here's me and Edrics number so you can tell us where to meet him bye cutie" Emira said giving me a number and leaving
"Ha I guess the two have grown a lot. Surprised she hasn't gotten together with that beast keeping girl she used to always talk about. Also Edric not going for that jerbo kid. I think that's what his name is" I thought walking away
Well see you tomorrow you little pranksters
