HELLUVA HUMAN: Highway to Hell (Chapter 2: Wanted Dead or Alive)

In another room, Stolas was attending to Y/N's wounds after using his magic to help him fall asleep so that he wouldn't feel any form of pain.

Octavia: How's he doing?

Stolas: Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that I've managed to get the bullet out and healed him up. The bad news is... His vital organs can't be repaired.

Octavia: *eyes widen* So... He's really going to die, isn't he?

Stolas: ... Well, I have another idea that can save him, but... There's a catch to this.

Octavia: ... No. Dad, you can't be serious.

Stolas: It's the only way we have to save him.

Octavia: But the chances of him coming back are dangerous. He probably won't be himself.

Stolas: Not if we have someone who can help out.

Octavia: Dad, you don't understand. You told me that this spell should never be used on anything! Much less a human.

Stolas: I know, but... This human is not like the others we've encountered in ever. Him and his friend. And for some reason, I can't let them die. ... I've made up my mind. I'll give this a try, but I'll need help.

Octavia: *sighs* Alright. What do we need to do?

After a while, Y/N was seen on a pentagram with candles around the area. Stolas sighed as he couldn't believe he was doing this for a human, of all creatures. He heard a door creak open and turned around.

Octavia: I have her here.

Loona walked through the door, followed by the others.

Loona: What's going on, here?

Stolas: ... Well, Y/N is... dying...

Loona: *covers mouth, worried*

Stolas: But we have a plan to save him. However, I'll need your help.

Loona: Anything to save him! Please... I... I can't lose him.

Stolas: Alright, Loona, walk to Y/N and kneel.

Loona does so.

Stolas: Now, this spell is a resurrection spell.

Loona: A what? Is that even possible?

Stolas: It is. And I never wrote it in the grimoire because it's a forbidden Goetia spell that shouldn't be used on anyone or by anyone. I managed to learn it from a good friend to the family. Haven't seen her in a while. Anyways, place your hand on his head.

Loona does so.

Stolas: Now, there is a risk that Y/N will be possessed when he comes back to life. However, there is a way to prevent that from happening and make it work the other way around. He needs your blood.

Loona: My blood?

Stolas: Yes. A normal human isn't strong enough to handle the power of a demon, but if he were to have the blood of a demon, then he'll be able to gain control of himself in terms of when he was born and what he experienced and remembered.

Loona: O-Okay.

Stolas: Alright, Loona, give him your blood. I'm about to start.

Loona extends her claw and scratches her hand hard enough to make her bleed. She flinched and exhaled sharply as she held her hand over Y/N's bullet wound. She squeezes her hand, making the blood drip into his body. Stolas's eyes glew and began to chant out words in a demonic language. He began to use his magic and it made Y/N float in the air and as his bullet wound was starting to regenerate, his eyes opened and glew the same as Stolas's. Suddenly, he started shouting an inhumane scream as a dark red and black aura exploded throughout the room. Loona covered her ears.

Loona: Wh-What's happening to him?

Stolas: The spell is working, but the blood you gave him is at war with the dark side of the spell, which is putting his human blood and body at risk.

Loona: Isn't there something we can do?

Stolas: He struggles because he feels angry and confused. What could be going on his head that's making him like this?

Loona: ... His parents. Those agents killed his parents and unborn sister.

Stolas: What?

Loona: It's almost as if he wants revenge. He hasn't found peace. There must be something we can do to help him.

Stolas: ... Try reaching out to him! He cares about you more than anything else. Maybe he'll listen to you.

Loona: I'll try...

Loona began to approach him.

Loona: Y/N! Y/N, it's me! Loona, your girlfriend. Please, listen to me! It's okay. We're trying to help you! You're in good hands. Y/N, please... I know that you're still hurting from losing your family, but you need to let go! I know... I know that what I'm asking you is difficult, but it must be done if you want to move forward. Besides, your family would want you to move forward.

Y/N started growling in pain and anger.

Loona: Babe, please! This anger you feel... This pain... I know what you're going through, but this kind of thinking isn't how you're going to make things right. You need to let go and save yourself.

Y/N (Demon): *amplified* I... can't...

Loona: Yes, you can! I'm not losing you, N/N. ... Listen, their deaths wasn't your fault. They wanted you to have a better life. They wanted to protect you. Save you from having to deal with the hardships of the world. If they were here, right now, they would tell you stop worrying about them. They would want you to live a happy life. And your sister... I can't imagine what that's like, but if she were to grow up, she would want you to be happy. To live a life full of light and love. And think about me. And BF/N. And the others. Think about what we would want from you!

Y/N closed his eyes and struggled.

Loona: Please, Y/N... I know what it's like to suffer, but you're not alone. You have us. You have me. You saved me from my suffering, so please. Let me be the one to save you, now! I love you!

Y/N started to shed tears as he then started to growl and then, he roared out as his glowing red eyes began to fade and his pupils came into view. Suddenly, he moved upright and yelled at the top of his lungs at the sky and unleashed his aura. After a while, the yelling stopped and Y/N fell limp. Stolas began to gently set him down to the ground as he was slowly breathing.

Loona: Y/N...?

Y/N: Zzz... Zzz... Zzz...

Stolas: He's... asleep...

Loona: After all of that, can you blame him?

She approached Y/N and hugged him as she sets him on her knees. She feels his forehead.

Stolas: *pants* Looks like... the spell worked. Thank goodness.

Octavia: Yeah... Thank goodness...

Everyone watched as Y/N was asleep in Loona's hold.
