Cooper twitched, and then again, and then again. More and more, closer together until he was shaking violently, stopping only when the beast had been freed again. Shaxx stood tall from the couch and from Lina, cracking his neck. “Will you relax, Frenchie?” He growled.
Lina whimped and backed away quickly. "Fleur?!"
Fleur hurried in and screamed. "Cooper?!"
The demon turned to Fleur. ”You humans are loud. It’s not necessary for you to be so concerned,”
Fleur tried to control her breathing. It didn't work. Her heart pounded. "What did you do with Cooper?"
”Oh dear. I am Cooper,” he smiled with his shark like teeth. ”My name is Shaxx. I’m his demon side,”
Fleur darted over and stood in front of Lina. "Bring Cooper back," she pleaded.
”I’m not here to hurt you. And for the last time. I am Cooper,”
"Then why are you here?" Fleur asked, wishing she hadn't left the room.
Lillian took his hand and pulled herself off the ground.
“Let it be known that I will defeat you in checkers,”
"Let it be known that your going to have a hard time trying."
"Then why are you here?" Fleur asked, wishing she hadn't left the room.
”Your boy got overwhelmed when you left and he can’t control himself when he’s overwhelmed. First he becomes an ass and then he turns into this,”
Lillian took his hand and pulled herself off the ground.
“Let it be known that I will defeat you in checkers,”
"Let it be known that your going to have a hard time trying."
“Let it be known I am the one and only king,”
"Then why are you here?" Fleur asked, wishing she hadn't left the room.
”Your boy got overwhelmed when you left and he can’t control himself when he’s overwhelmed. First he becomes an ass and then he turns into this,”
Fleur shielded Lina. "Courit!" she hissed. Lina bolted from the room.
“Okay. Bye then,” Shaxx sighed and looked at Fleur, ”Am I really That scary?”
Fleur nodded slowly. "How does Cooper come back?"
”He transforms. He’s sick and suffering and he’s scared. He felt bad when you walked out and got overwhelmed so now I’m here. Give him a chance to calm down and I’ll try not to kill anyone. For your information…” he took Fleurs hand gently in his giant hands. ”I won’t hurt you, he loves you,”
Fleur's eyes widened, but she didn't flinch at all or run away. Lina was hiding in the kitchen, trembling.
”He wouldn’t let me hurt you anyways,”
Hesitantly, she reached up and cupped his cheek with her hand. The realization finally hit her. "Cooper… it is you."
Shaxx nodded. It was Cooper, just bigger, angrier and scarier.
"Cooper," she cried, hugging him tightly. "You really scared me!"
”Sorry, human,” he mumbled as he leaned over and hugged her back. His black eyes turned to blue and he shrunk in her arms until Cooper was the one hugging her back. “Sorry,”
Fleur realized it was Cooper's voice, not Shaxx's. She hugged him tighter. "Cooper… Cooper…"
(One test down, one to go.)
(Oof, good luck, Shade!)
“Hey, it’s okay,” he smiled a little and kissed her head.
