04 Devil
There had been a time in his life when Allelujah was never alone...in a sense. As much as he would’ve liked to quietly slip into his thoughts there was always the fear that the wrong thought would trigger the unkind words of his other self. If he harped too strongly on the mistakes he made his other self would cackle or chastise him. If he had the wrong thought Hallelujah might simply chide in. He usually found himself in a state of silent angst. He could never move on from the pain he’d suffered through because of his guilt and his fear of even attempting to reconcile with his emotions. If he did, Hallelujah might simply intervene.
Allelujah hadn’t thought about the idea that being in the presence of someone emotionally was a good thing. Typically he’d learned to keep to himself and rarely open up. Friends and comrades were one thing, but in the solitude of his room or his apartment he could only find it chilling that his personal demon would be there all the time. There was nothing he could do to combat this.
Suddenly one day there was silence.
Allelujah had muttered the word “Hallelujah…” four years ago, and it had been a terrifying yet liberating experience. There was nothing to fear and yet there was also the worrying idea that he would be useless without Hallelujah. His demon was dead, and so was his company. There was no one there in the deep and empty reaches of space. He had spent 4 years alone pondering rotting away for the simple sake of his crimes.
But there in the silence Allelujah learned the one thing greater than fear was a reason for fighting. There was something stronger than guilt or hatred, and it was the undying wish to bring someone he loved happiness. Even without a voice in his head the ever present echo was that of his desire to save Marie, to protect her from being used- and to give her happiness. With his personal demon gone he was finally free to see that there was something to continue to live for.
But what surprised Allelujah is when four years after his demon has disappeared he reappeared and simply reached into the depths of Allelujah’s mind and uttered the same notion Allelujah had believed in ever since he’d been freed from the facility- “Focus on Marie.” His demon with a twisted smile and sinister laugh combined with him for true sentience, true perseverance. In the perpetuating silence he had learned a reason to live, and in the moment the silence was broken demon and human combined into one entity, who’s only reason was to protect what he loved.
