"So then it wasn't your fault!" Maudite stated.
"You're wrong..." Father Darvin said somberly. "It was completely my fault... I caused Yusei to get infected... I am the one who pushed him down after all..."
"But you had no way of knowing!"
"That doesn't matter..." Father Darvin said shaking his head. "The end results are the same. I killed my son, and created a monster, in his image... That monster was created by me. I killed your father. I murdered my son."
Maudite stared at the man who had caused her pain her entire life. He looked... Sad? Depressed. Broken... It's funny... If he wasn't xi completely wasted he probably wouldn't even be telling her any of this. Yet here he stood. Drunk beyond belief and laying out his sins to the girl he claimed was a witch. The girl whose life he had tried to ruin. His granddaughter... Someone that he had a duty to protect, but instead hurt. And yet at that moment, Maudite found herself filling pitty...
Never in a million years had she even considered the fact she could feel such an emotion.
"It's okay... You did your best..." She said slowly.
'You're too soft...' A voice hissed out.
Maudite ignored it as she placed a hand over her grandfathers. "What happened next..."
Father Darvin took a deep breath as he shook his head. Then once he was ready he spoke. He said only a single word but it seemed to carry so much power and explain everything. "Hell..."
Age 1978
Maudite slid back gasping slightly. The Earl hadn't even laid a finger on her yet, but despite that fact, she was absolutely exhausted... She found her self barely able to muster up her Attribute, and her whole body felt like jelly. It was a miracle she could even stand from the condition she was in.
Off to the side the Enforcer who wasn't dead still fought, blasting the Bestia Macht with his invisible fire. It didn't really seem to do anything though as the Earl simply shrugged the attack off.
The Father of the village raised both his hands up as a ball of blue energy suddenly formed, firing out as a massive energy-based attack. The ball slammed into the monster pushing it back but only served in royally pissing off the creature. The Father fell to his knees letting out a cough as he grabbed his chest.
Their odds were really not that great...
Maudite let out a groan of pain as she placed a hand over her stomach. Her entire body wouldn't stop aching and unlike her fiance, her Attribute lacked the ability to heal... This meant she was stuck how she was... Bad since the Earl really seemed focused on her now...
The Earl let out another growl as it charged forward. Maudite watched it run towards her but she was unable to move. It was a miracle her body lasted this long with the condition it was in.
The Earl spun its body as it smashed its tail straight into the side of the girl so hard it lifted her up off of the ground and sent her flying back a few feet away!
"Lady Maudite!" The Enforcer shouted.
Maudite let out a yell of pain as the monster hovered over her. It let out a growl as it raised its leg up. Then in a flash, the monsters head rolled off...
There was a moment of thick silence as everyone stood frozen in shock as the monster simply fell over dead...
A bit anticlimactic...
"Yusei..." Maudite said slowly in shock as she stared at the man she had come to know and love. His back was facing her as he stood on the ground staring at the body of the Earl he had just killed. His right arm was coated in its blood as he had used it to literally rip off the monsters head in a single slash... After a few seconds, he turned around slowly, as he faced the woman that he loved. Maudite let out a horrific gasp when she saw him. "No..."
Yusei held the orange crystal in his hands, but he quickly let go of it dropping it to the ground. Not like that would help though... His eyes had changed becoming pure black, with an orange iris... They weren't full of life anymore either. Now they were only filled with regret, and sadness... There was a hole in his stomach where an orange crystal was forming... His skin always becoming pale and at that moment he looked so weak...
"Maudite..." He said slowly as he reached out towards her.
"Oh Yusei... What have you done..." Maudite said quietly.
"It wasn't my fault..." Yusei said falling to his knees. "He did it..." His hand outstretched pointing over to Darvin.
Darvin stepped back in fear when he saw the look in Maudite's eyes... She had always seemed so gentle and kind... But the look she gave him now sent a shiver down his spine... He knew that at that moment, if she had the ability to, she wouldn't hesitate to kill him...
"I-It was an accident-" Darvin tried to explain... "I... I couldn't have known and-"
"Ahh!" Yusei fell to his knees clutching his stomach. Then he simply bent over and began to puke.
"Yusei!" Maudite yelled running over to her lover's side.
"No! He... He's turning!" Darwin said horrified. "Stay away from him!" He yelled out to the girl but she didn't listen.
"Shut up!" Maurice cried out ignoring the man. "We studied it! We know some of the secrets! A person doesn't always lose themselves! If they are stronger, then the corruption, they'll absorb it into their body! He just needs to fight it-"
"Leave me alone! Getaway!" Yusei tried to gasp out as his body began to change. His orange eyes glowed, and he screamed in pain as his body morphed and changes into something else. Something not human... His skull split open as a pair of horns started to form from his head. His face twisted and he became so very pale... Yusei bolted to his feet jumping away from Maudite! He landed on all fours as he let out a loud howl of pain, and hunger. Then. Just like that, it stopped. He stood panting with a crazed look in his eyes. He looked like a Bestia Macht now, save for the fact that he wore clothing. though most of it was ripped up during his transformation.
The beast, for this, was no longer a man, opened its mouth, and let out a loud animalistic howl!
Age 1990
"And then the real fight began..." Father Darvin said quietly as he bowed his head in shame.
Maudite sat still in stunned silence. She was still trying to process everything she had learned. Twelve years, and not once had anyone told her a thing about her parents, and now suddenly she found out one turned into a giant killer monster...
"My... My father... That creature. It's still alive?" Maudite questioned. "Earlier you said it was just past the wall right there..."
"Indeed..." Father Darvin said nodding somberly. "The cave only had two entrances. This one has been closed for quite some time... My grandfather and I did everything we could to try and stop Yusei but in the end, we failed. Faced with one last option, we send him into the cave... However, things would only get worse from there..."
"What do you mean?" Maurice questioned curiously.
"The Doctor. He was our only Doctor for our village but, he left." Father Darvin hissed out. "He became selfish and thought he could sell the information that he learned, as well as the research. He left with everything he could get his hands on. My guess is he is the one that told the people, who were bombing the Nest. He told them about the Corruption and likely gave them their research..."
Maudite sat in silence for a few more moments. Several thoughts raced through her head. Finally, though she managed to stand up. She walked past Father Darvin and placed her hand on the entrance of the cave. "Why did you bring me down here..." She asked as her hand touched the rock. She knew why though. In her mind, she was starting to piece it all together. Why she was treated the way she was. Why she was forced to take on all the Hate of everyone else.
"Why do you think..." Father Darvin asked as he let out a chuckle. "You know what your purpose is right? Our Attributes. They really are amazing. Some people say they were a gift from God. Our families, in particular, has the very powerful benefit of being powered by emotions. And as you may know, Hate is a very powerful emotion..."

Muaidte let out a small smile as a tear managed to escape her... She stood in absolute silence. Then finally she spoke, saying only four words, that stabbed into the old man's heart.
"You really are cruel."
