Seth hopped out of the van and looked around. She girl came up behind him and clapped him on the shoulder. She pointed towards the middle, where kids were mostly avoiding. "Right there's the ring. Some kids like to warm up there before the matches. There go some now." Sure enough, a couple of guys wrestled each other into the ring playfully, no shirts or shoes on, then backed off a few paces. They seemed to be buddies until they flew at each other, swinging punches and kicks, beating each other, breaking some skin and leaving a few bruises. Seth stared, fascinated, as other teens started crowding around the ring, cheering and booing.
The girl patted his shoulder then said, “Do you want to take the first round?” Seth replied, “I don’t know the rules.” She laughed. “They’re simple. No shirts or shoes [girls wear sports bras]. No weapons other than your own body. If one player calls forfeit, is unconscious, or is extremely injured, the fight stops immediately. If none of those three happen, you fight until it’s finished. That’s pretty much it.” Seth then nodded and took off his shirt. “Ok, I’ll take first round.” He pulled off his socks and shoes. The girl took them and stashed them in the van. Great! The ground is heated up before people arrive, so you won’t get frostbite.” She strolled with him towards the ring. “And you’ll probably want a fake nickname for fighting. Any preferences?” Seth immediately chose, “Incubus.” He felt it was appropriate. The girl nodded and went to the ring. The crowd went quiet and parted like the Red Sea. She strode to the center, the two sparrers backing off respectively. She shouted, “WELCOME BACK TO HELL BITCHES!!” The crowd cheered. “YOU ALL KNOW THE RULES, SO LET’S NOT DO WITH FORMALITIES! HERE’S OUR FIRST PAIRING OF THE NIGHT! BRASS KNUCKLES VS. SUCCUBUS!!!” She backed away, the crowd murmuring about the new name. A new member? Seth walked into the ring along with a big, brown haired kid he didn’t recognize. The founder girl shouted, “MAY THE FIGHT COMMENCE!!”
Hiro notice Seth was first. He got pissed "Bet it was (kids name)."
Seth waited for the kid “Brass Knuckles” to come at him first. When he did, he strategically fought back, overcoming the kid quickly without giving him many small injuries. When the fight was done, he emerged from the fight both victorious and unscathed. “THE WINNER IS INCUBUS!!” The crowd went wild, but Seth was already slinking off after making sure the other kid was ok. He sat at the edge of the woods and watched the other fights from afar.
Hiro goes up to him he was gonna tap him but kept contradicting himself
Seth’s sharp demon hearing picked up on movement behind him. He spun around, ready to punch the person there, only to gap when he realized, “Mr. Aasu?!”
Seth relaxed his tense posture. “I thought I asked you not to get involved. Why are you here?”
"I just…Couldn't" he Looked away "Why are you here?"
Seth looked away and at the ground. “It doesn’t really matter. I’m here for the first time, and that’s all you probably need to know.” He was getting agitated. His eyes were starting to glow again. “Fuck!” He covered his eyes and started heading into the woods away from Mr. Aasu and the crowds.
Hiro chased him "Seth stop"
Seth yelled, “GO AWAY! DON’T COME NEAR ME!” He hunched over as a wave of pain hit him. Gods, he didn’t want to be hungry now… This had been the stupidest thing he had ever fucking done.
"No. I need to know what's wrong" he said calmly
Seth looked up with bright, glowing green eyes and gave his teacher a fanged hiss. “I SAID GET AWAY!”
Hiro stood his ground "I said I'm not leaving"
Seth dropped and writhed on the ground the smell of his teacher’s soul tearing him apart from the inside out. “I’LL HURT YOU! I DON’T WANT TO DO THAT! Please…” He whimpered, shaking on the ground, in nothing but pants. The cold didn’t affect him, but he shivered anyway. Black and red wings burst ftom his back and he crouched on all fours, hacking up a black substance.
He felt bad for him. A little Worried about what was happening to Seth " I'm not leaving you alone. I wouldn't dare do that…You need help"
Seth hacked another glob of black stickiness up. “Y-you can help me by getting away… your soul smells too good to me right now. I-it’s-” He threw up again and panted. “It’s making my hunger worse.”
"What do you mean smells good?"
“I EAT FUCKING HUMAN SOULS TO FUCKING SURVIVE!!” Seth screamed. “I CAN SMELL YOUR SOUL LIKE YOU CAN SMELL SOME FUCKING PIZZA!!” His wings snapped open irritatedly. They were huge.
"o-oh…" he looked away "I'm sorry…" he felt bad because he couldn't help
Seth clapped his hand to his mouth and gagged. "There's only one thing that can take the place of a human soul, but I don't have any right now." He arched his back as he had another wave of pain crash into him.
"W-which is?" He looked determined (Oh No undertale)
(What's undertale?)
Seth turned his glowing eyes to the teacher. "…it's nothing you can provide… It's a sort of bread made by demons. It tastes kinda like coffee actually…" He gave a dry heave.
