《Awakening of a Monster》Chapter 19 - Reunion
Advertisement
With his enhanced sense of sight, Amon could see Jax, Molly and his Mom trying to cram themselves to the front of the bus seeming to disturb the brown-haired beauty sitting at the front of the bus who was intently staring at him.
Amon squinted his eyes at her, taking her interest as a challenge to battle. A low, terrifying growl escaped his throat seeming to put those around him on edge.
Lilith looked where Amon was looking and a sharp glint went through her eyes as killing intent rose up from a place she didn't know she had. She felt the anger blaze through her, but unlike Amon's anger which burned like an inferno, this anger was cold and calculating and felt like ice running through her veins.
Amon felt Lilith's anger and killing intent but misunderstood her reasons thinking it was the same as his; that she thought the brown-haired beauty wanted to fight them.
Before long, the bus stopped in front of them. It was extremely close to them like the driver had nearly forgotten to put his foot on the break. Nonetheless, none of the 6 of them flinched in the slightest and Amon along with Michael even laughed at their silly attempts to get a reaction from them.
Amon could see Jax, Molly and Beth's unhappiness at the driver and their teacher's attempt at scaring Amon and the others and he felt warmth in his heart; it was good that they hadn't been infected by the Classers arrogance and disdain for Bloodline Warriors.
The teacher dejectedly led the class of off the bus and led them to line up in front of the Amon and the others.
Jax and Amon made eye contact and immediately broke out in beam-like smiles. Amon showcasing his sharp and long canines and Jax showing why he was regarded as a pretty boy among pretty boys.
Both of them; A slender boy wearing black and white training equipment looking like the perfect bastion for Humans from everywhere around the world, and a giant, muscular boy who gave off the imposing air of a Demon King and looked incredibly inhuman. They both painted a picture, one where they should both be on opposing sides but their warm smiles showed their brother-like bond.
Both Sasha and the Classers' teacher looked at this exchange with pity in their eyes. Well, Sasha did anyway, the old man looked at it with disappointment.
"Okay, let's get going and walking to a place where we can camp for the next few days." Sasha and the old man both said something similar to their groups and they started walking into the forest.
Both of the groups were mixed by this point but the teachers forbid any interaction until they were safe and at their campsite.

This caused Amon to nearly rage about but he calmed himself, knowing he'd soon be able to catch up to the others soon. He really couldn't wait and he felt that Lilith was like him as well. He looked over to Jax, Molly, and his Mom and felt they were feeling the same thing as him.
After walking through the forest and Sasha and the Old man both dealing with a few monsters that appeared, the entire group made it to a lake. Around the lake, there were a few cabins which Amon figured were the places they were going to be staying in.
Sasha pulled Amon and the others over and spoke to them. "Okay, you can go and mingle with the Classers now, try not to start any fights--" Sasha glared straight at Amon while saying this before carrying on "--you can go for a swim in the Lake if you want, it's been cleared of all Monsters, so go wild." After saying this she walked off to a cabin.
About this time, Jax and the other Classers had finished with their teacher as well, so Amon walked straight up to Jax and Jax walked to him as well, both of them with wide and full smiles on their faces'.
"It's good to see you again, bro!" Amon bear hugged Jax, lifting him into the air because of the height difference between the two.
"Haha! I've missed you too, big guy!" Jax hugged Amon back as well, his emotions in turmoil after remembering the blackmail involving Amon and how worried he'd been about his best friend.
When they separated, Jax wiped his eyes a little bit saying something along the lines of "How'd this dust get in my eyes?". Amon only smiled at this, if it wasn't for his stupid Demon and Draconic pride stopping him, he'd probably have joined Jax in shedding a tear or two.
But something happened which went above what his pride could stop.
"Amon!" a slight yell which sounded like a mixture of sadness, worry and overwhelming happiness sounded out as Amon felt a figure tackle into him. Looking down, Amon smiled and hugged his assailant.
He saw his mom trembling as she gripped his shirt like he was going to disappear if she let go. Hearing his mom crying, Amon hugged her tighter, his so-called Demonic and Draconic pride nowhere to be seen as tear droplets fell from his eyes.
Before this moment he didn't realize how much he'd missed his mom but now it was all flooding out of him. His body was still and it wasn't shaking but his hearts were aching over the emotions he was feeling.
"Mom..." Amon's voice sounded slightly hoarse as he called out to his mom.

A mature but beautiful bronze skinned face looked up at him. The blue eyes surrounded by slightly red sclera and tears, which made Amon's hearts ache even further.
'How worried must she have been? How sad? How angry at not being able to meet her son?... This was their fault! They separated us! How dare they...!'
Emotions flowed around Amon's head, threatening to break out and rage against everything but when he looked at his mom's dark blue eyes, he didn't dare let himself do something like that in front of her again.
Deep down, he'd always regretted killing those Orcs in front of his mom. Not the act of actually killing but the act of doing it in front of his mom unsettled him and he'd only just realized that fully, so at this moment, he promised himself he wouldn't do something like that in front of his mom unless absolutely necessary.
"Mom, I've missed you a lot...!" Amon's voice was filled with immense happiness and his smile showcased that happiness fully by looking incredibly pure and joyful, spread so wide it looked like it hurt but no matter how much it hurt, Amon couldn't stop smiling because of the joy bubbling up from inside him.
Most people think Demons are evil because they kill and destroy things wherever they go but that wasn't because they were inherently evil but purely because they felt emotions much more strongly then Humans and other species. This led to a Demon destroying and killing when angered and as many people know, it doesn't take a lot to anger a Demon.
While they did have a bloodthirsty nature, it was a bigger influence depending on the emotions they felt at the time. If they were happy, they would actually avoid conflict but if they were angry they'd actively go out of their way to find it.
If you angered a Demon, it would chase you to the ends of the Earth to destroy you but if you made a Demon feel love for you, it would stand up against the whole world if necessary just to protect you from harm and it wouldn't care about anything that happened to it, as long as the person they loved was safe.
It was the reason Demon Empires were so dangerous in the hands of a good emperor/empress who could make their people love them.
And right now, Amon was feeling this Demonic Trait of his to it's fullest. So much so that he'd taken his resolve to get stronger to a whole new level. It felt like he'd broken a dam inside himself, so many emotions were flowing into him that it started to hurt his head a little.
Amon's mom, Beth started crying even more intensely after hearing what Amon had said.
Amon, however, was figuring out a way to calm his emotions. He quickly figured out a way and started employing it to calm them down a bit.
The thing he was using was the Slayer Arts and the mantra supplied by it. Slowly but surely as he recited the mantra in his head, his emotions stopped fluctuating too wildly and his head didn't feel like it would explode from the massive dump of emotions.
After hugging and comforting his mom for a bit longer, Amon looked around and saw Lilith and Molly hugging with tears in their eyes like him and his mom. Jax was speaking to two other people who Amon didn't know.
One of them was a tall guy, not Amon or Sasha level but he was about 6'2" or 6'3", he had green hair that Amon couldn't tell whether it was dyed or not and light brown eyes. The other person was a girl with red hair and blue eyes, she was wearing something that looked like a nun outfit.
Michael was off trying to talk to the prettier girls among the classers and Julia was following him around and dragging him away once he went too far with his pick-up game.
Fae was hugging and talking to the brown-haired girl that was looking at Amon with interest earlier. Amon saw her maroon red eyes occasionally sneak glances at him, Fae also caught on to her, presumably, friend's glances.
But she didn't do anything and Amon could've sworn she was urging her friend on to do something but nothing happened to Amon's happiness.
All the other Classers were looking at Amon and the others, some with curiosity, some with neutrality and others with undisguised hostility.
Amon only smiled at their stares, not caring about it because he was happy enough after his reunion with his friends and mother to ignore them. That was until an orange haired and yellow-eyed boy walked out of the crowd and spoke to Amon.
"Oi! Why're you hugging Beth and acting so friendly with the others?" His voice was quite smooth and seemed like the kind of calming and nice-sounding voice a voice actor would need. But all Amon heard was the voice of an annoyance when the voice reached his ears.
Jax, Molly, and Beth looked stunned for a minute before hurriedly trying to explain what was happening; they realized they hadn't told any of the other classers about Amon because the topic never came up.
Amon sighed as he turned to face the orange-haired youth.
