Mad Temptation

The five of them are now sitting on the chair outside the backyard where the garden was. They all simply looked at each other quietly.

Claude: So...what are you all doing here?

There were four of them. Let me introduce them. The first one was William Houston. Next is Leo Gordon. Next is Andrew Stark. And the last one is Gregory Maximoff.

Claude: Anyone want to answer my question?

Gregory: First of all, how are you?

Claude: Good.

Gregory: Are you doing well here?

Claude: Yes.

Gregory: How is Aubrey?

Claude: Did you really come all the way here just to ask me questions?

Gregory: Okay fine. Look, we need to talk to you.

Claude: About what?

Gregory: This. This whole situation. Claude, there is something going on. And I believe you are a part of it.

Claude: Okay here we go, please, enlighten me.

Gregory: Claude...something bad is already happening. And I am thinking it is Azazel's doing.

Claude: What do you mean?

Gregory placed some posters of missing people including children.

Gregory: A few weeks ago. People started missing. It's like they vanished into thin air. They were nowhere to be found and you know this is one of Azazel's steps. He is playing a trick.

Claude: What does that have to do with me?

Gregory: Do you not understand Claude? Azazel is coming. He is already showing signs of it. You need to stop whatever you are planning before it is too late.

Claude: Plan? I have no plan.

Gregory: We all know you do. You are waiting for the blood moon to arise and that is when you are going to take Aubrey's soul and power. But Claude, imagine how many people are going to be involved. When the blood moon rises, all of Azazel's creation will come at her, people are going to be hurt. Imagine how many people are going to be involved here.

He tapped the posters of missing people.

Gregory: This is just the beginning. He is coming for you Claude. For the both of you. And while they are at it, people are going to die. Imagine how many people are going to die. You need to break the curse Claude. You need to stop this-

Claude: I can not break the curse if it is inside her. It is a part of her life. The only way to break this curse, is to kill her.

Gregory: Then why are you not doing it?

Leo: Because he is in love.

They all looked at Leo. Like he was joking but he looked dead serious.

Leo: Are you not Claude?

He rolled his eyes and turned his head away.

Leo: I could already sense it. Even from the moment I got here, I knew you love her. Why?

Claude didn't respond. He just scratched his chin.

Leo: Answer me!

Claude: Now I would not dare to yell at your leader Leo.

His eyes glowed bright red. Aura scary and mischievous and dominating. Intimidating even. The others cowered in fear. Leo looked away from his intimidating gaze.
