SD: Sorry but Lime been giving me a hard time and she stole all my ideas.
She said that I need to work on my work and stop playing on the computer.
But I counter that if I did that then she will only exited in my mind. You
only image how she felt with that.
Lime: You still have to study for the finals.
SD: The final could wait until they come.
Lime: That what you said about English.
SD: Well this time I got extra help, and I did not know that I had such a big problem with English.
Lime: All those years....
SD: Only 4yrs.
Lime: Ok 4yrs in those classes and you did not know. You suppose to smart.
SD: Hey you should talk you part of my brain.
Lime: Only God knows why.
SD: But for real I had to get through testing and I found out why I have trouble with English and grammar. I have a learning disability call Dyslexia. So I have to work extra hard in my writing to improve. I do not want yourself pity only you awareness it will take me awhile with final and this swaying over my head. Only good thing about this is I get extra time on test and use a computer that can read and talk.
Lime: Star does not own Pokemon but she do own Vine and Ash's form.
Ending All the Confusing
He was immobile frozen solid in a cold block of ice but his mind was not bond by his body function. Ash's mind whirling with counteracting thoughts. The kill command was strong but the small voice told him that he should not hurt these people and pokemon was perssent. He try to shake the thoughts away this was not what his Mistress want from him. But the lost ability to move made Ash's mind wonder around everything around him that included his enemy.
What do you expect from the people who you try to kill and they won and defeat you? Happiness, some sort of celebration of that they survive, no Ash heard sadness and rage, this only mad Ash madder. 'What I'm not dead enough for them. If they want to kill me then do it or do I do it for them. I'll kill them if they don't do it first' 'What do they want from me?'
"I want you back, I want Ash back. I don't care I just want the kind person he is."
Ash was expecting someone to answer his question. He did think this out loud to this person, this girl, but yet she spoke as if he did. Whispering so only pokemon ear can hear. A girl he could not see but felt her as clear as day. Even without the movement of his body he knew how she look, to her one of the kind one sided ponytail to her dimple she had when she smile. The memory play out like a clouded dream with a soft flute sound as the breeze blew it across his mind. What was this feeling he was getting where was it coming from.
Ash had to forces his mind to think of something else before he feels lost to this emotion. His Mistress never made him feel that way so it must be bad, right. It nearly took control over him while he should be worrying about killing those that he was command to kill. 'But who is Ash'
"Ash " said Hazel with an intake of breath. Ash left his head and looked
at the woman that call him. "No not Ash, but Ashura" Hazel said out loud
looking at his brown eyes. "He....."
"Been tame" Vine smile at Hazel and other shock and horror of see there
friend as a pokemon. Not scary looking one but innocent that Eevee always
had. "Ashura I want you to kill them all, of matter of fact destroy this
place with a Physic. Ash eyes turned eerie redish black. Oh I wish I
could stay watch but I business to attend to." Vine smiled. "Lust, Shadow
I think it time to take our leave and let your brother have his first
taste of blood."
"Oh great I didn't even get the chance to draw blood and you let him do
it." Lust complained, before Shadow teleported them off. But no one
notices that Shadow eyes linear bit of hesitation, except Sabrina.
"Ash, Ash honey can you hear me. Please tell me you ok." Said Ash's
mother not knowing what to say. Ash growled at the people as the energy
built around his body. He stood on his hind legs focusing the energy into
ball of black and red swirls.
"Ash stop you have to fight her you can't listen to this mad woman"
Dupilca pleased.
"Ash you don't have to do this wake up my boy" Prof. Oak tried to get Ash
to hear them.
'Those people call me Ash but I'm not Ash, my name is not Ash'
[No Ash, you must remember what was once in your heart.]
"Pikachu pikapi" (Ash I forgive you). "Pikachu pika Pikachu" (I hope you
forgive me).
[Why are you sorry, are you sorry that you just through your life away.]
"Pikachu pikapi pika chu" (No Ash, for doing this)
'Even the pokemon call me that name.' Ashura had Ash in it but that was not what Mistress call him when he first woke up. The first he ever knew she was the one in charge was today. But why do he feel he knew these people longer then her. Why do he had a feeling that she was cause of all this. But did it matter, part of him says yes. But part was that.
Pain, Sadness, Hate, Anger, Loneliness, and Fear this he got from these people and pokemon. Pain because they hurt Ash, Him! They were worry about him? Sadness fills them because they had failed him. Loneliness had isolated their hearts because he was gone but yet he was there. The fear had told them words that he will never come back. They were angry at themselves and hated his Mistress. If they hate her they should hate him. He wanted to know why but at the same time he did not care, they were not important. Why was there pain hurting him, why could not hate him like he did.
But that little voice inside of him knew that was a lie if he hated them so much he would of killed them. And that pain would have made him happy. Ash was so confuse, something was blocking him his truth.
A hand, warmth, from outside touch the ice, ever so slightly, but Ash felt it. "Ash we will get you back. Mom said she could. I just want to say I forgive you and I love you." The hand of that girl left but two very small liquid stay in her place mixing with the water. Those tear hold so much pain that Ash remember something a promise not to her but to his Mistress.
"Let me go! Where are they! You better not have hurt them or....or"
"Or what" she asked interestedly to see if boy could follow his threat.
"I'll kill you" he said in a low voice. "If you hurt any of them I'll
kill you and I will not regret it"
Ash's felt like he watching the world with the fast-forward button was stuck on hyper drive. In the blink of an eye his he knew who he was and guilt ate at him like flesh eating virus, slow and painfully. But that quickly ignored by one simple fact of it all, Vine had hurt his family and friends. You can do a lot of thing to Ash but hurting those that fit in the calagory was plan and simple and stupid. Then add that to the fact that Ash's temper was well develop to the point that killing was the nicest thing and first option well you hope for the first option.
~*~*~*~Tracy's View~*~*~*~
It was quiet out like a storm was coming and everyone was hiding. Or was that storm already here? I don't really know, all I know that the knife that try to cut the tension in air better be a laser because anything else will break like glass.
I know I'm the one with the eyes that can spot almost anything but only physic could predict this. If they did why didn't they stop it? Maybe they couldn't maybe they knew just as much as we did. Somehow even all of us here this turn out to be Ash's battle. We were just the foundation to help build him up.
I watch the battle and I watch it end. I saw my death about to come and greatest dream come true that any Pokemon Watcher want. A real live Mew save me and also Mewtwo a clone that Ash had told me about right here in front of me. But I guess I was not like other Pokemon Watcher or maybe they never had a friend like Ash. Who could? There was only one Ash Ketchum in the world, and I was lucky enough to have him as a friend. Mew and Mewtwo was just mere drop of water in the Ocean of Ash.
The pokemon was helping each other healing each other emotional and physical wound with help of Brock, Prof. Oak and me. Something Ash taught them something he reminded us always. Something that he was simply was. What he became was not him it what Vine wanted him to become.
I saw the battle; I saw two very powerful pokemon fight each other to a battle that this Ash wanted to end in death. It hurt me to see that a person can do this to a person. A person that did not had nothing seriously wrong with him. He had faults but he was human, something I question at time. Turn into this hateful creature. And watching Mewtwo fight this Ash scared me because I could see Ash in this fight.
His movement and reaction was like Ash. He enjoyed the challenge of the battle and he did thing that only Ash mind can come up with. But it was all for the wrong things. It was a mindless hate in this battle. I fear that Ash enjoy this too much and might never come back. If Mewtwo would had won it would not have been good, but he didn't and that was good because I saw hope when the pokemon came.
I saw them before they interfered. They waited, for the right last moment. You could see them readying for a battle and I was scare for them, but I could see in their eyes that they were planning this. Sometimes they almost ran out of their hiding but Pikachu and older pokemon kept them at bay. Not all of them were there I try looking around not being obverse about it, a skill that come in handy when dealing with shy pokemon.
When Mewtwo slow down I knew that there was more to that Bite then it seem and Ash confirm it. When Ash fought his pokemon I saw him hesitated and that when I saw Ash true heart. He did not fight the same way as he did with Mewtwo not as smoothly. This when I knew Ash needed this battle, Mewtwo was only there to tire him out. Pikachu and they was there to heal.
Now that was over I wonder if they did it. I look at Ash trying to see if there was sign that he was ok, that he was back and well. I laugh to myself, how can I see that through ice. People say that I'm good but that because I look at the clues, I'm sure that can see it too they just trying butter me up. I not as good as Professor here, the greatest living researcher in Pokemon History. I'm only good at drawing and seeing thing is that a skill.
I look at the ice again; it was melting slowly but faster than it should. Ash was breaking out or was that melting out. Did it matter, did Ash have enough time to think was he weak or was he mad. "Um guys I think that we may have problem but I really hoping that it is not."
~*~*~ End of Tracy's View ~*~*~
Tracy words of warning was lost in his throat as fear tighten his muscle choking the sound that would have gave a fare warning of danger that was present itself like polar ice caps was melting. Tracy words turn to coughing and movement of his hands franticly for the lost of air to speak. This did not help situation because everyone turned to look at him instead looking at the rapidly melting ice that held Ash. No one notice play heed to as water drip from ice until Tracy voice his opinion on the ice. As soon as Tracy spoke the ice skip the turn to water part and turn to strong mist of vapor and spread in the dark sky.
Ash stood there as Fire Wheel die down to smoke floating in the air. The angry red glare toward at the human and the pokemon in front of him. Ash noted sharp canine teeth were shown as a growl of anger was emitted from his mouth. Sharp barks and weird verbalize cries of 'eons' was quickly mix together with anger and frustration. Ash was shaking his head and closes his tightly like he could not control his anger, which was true. "Shit" was the best way that Grey could describe the situation.
Ash in his multi eevee form looked as if he was about to kill someone. His black short fur stood on end, making him looked a bigger then he really was. His red illuminating marking that glow a dull red look at if they would burst into flame any moment. That gentle eevee look that Ash first appeared to have was now the last thing that anyone was thinking. His eyes were still consumed with a red glow that swift from stare at them to behind him.
Ash then body follow his gaze and he sat down looking away from his friends and family. He look up at the darken sky looking at the stars that shine through the darkness even thought the sky was so much bigger they could be seen and admire for their light. 'What happen to his light' he thought. It was there but pollution much like the light and air pollution made it hard to see but it was still there. [Sorry] he said sadly to them and before anyone could react to his statement every one fill to the ground
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ash saw the fear of his friend though his anger not directed at them he felt the guilt eat at his soul again. But Ash used that same guilt to fuel the fire inside of him. This time he will use his anger and toward the rightful person. No more mind games from himself and Vine. No more hiding, away. He needed to deal with Vine then he deals with his self and his crimes of hurting his friends. But first Vine had to pay she had to pay, because he promise. And she was going pay with blood that she so try to make him spill from his friend.
Ash ran through the woods as quickly as he could with out making no noise to where he was. The woods were only blurs of brown but not cause his speed but because the tear that threaten leave his eyes. Tears mix with anger and hate, and painful feeling of guilt that he mange to cause. He could blame Vine all he wanted but it was still his fault. Ashura was apart him before Vine interfered with his life. It just she made him more noticeable.
Ash shocked away those thoughts, even though that was true Vine was a very sadistic Bitch. She needed to be stop. That what he was going to do. He smell her scent like drug addicted dog on smell of cocaine. Her smell, her face, was just imprinted in his mind in a bad way. She was a drug dealer of death. She destroyed people lives just for her own gain. Ash could emit that most people make mistake and did thing that they wish they never did. She did thing that people wish she never did and feel she had accomplished something greater then moral can give.
What Ash was about to do was surely going destroy any moral he had. He did not believe in killing but that what he was running toward her to do just that. But morals were drown out by anger and pain she had cause him. But how long can anger and the past fuel a person to do thing he normally could not do?
Ash kept on running until he got to river where a boy stood bending over it looking at it. He knew this boy he was as transparent as the water he was touching with his hand. Was this boy any concern to him? He looked though the water to it bottom where rock lay down smooth by the rater currents. He was looking at his reflection that was also easily seen through. The purity of water was clear and clean and hid no secret. 'It's just was water', but the boy look at it hold so much more then that.
"It would seem that way wouldn't" He spoke without looking from the water. Ash was not surprise from the boy answering him. "Water, a life giving sustain that all living thing need. Even fire pokemon can not denied it need of thirst. And yet I do not yield to it call. Do this mean I'm no longer living? A ghost of my former self, a shadow as my 'mother's' name put it." He voice was soft spoken but there was something wrong with how he was speaking because could here the emotion from his voice not the drone sound that he remember him speaking before.
Not sure what to say but he did anyway. [You're different] Ash said carefully. He was not sure if he should let his guard down but he knew this was not the same boy who he met in his head.
He never turned to look at Ash. "I guess I am but that not hard part of life. It trying to stay the same that it hard to do." Shadow put his hand the water once again. "It been too long sense I last felt water you know" The water flow though the boy transparent hand and when he left it up it was still dry. "It been too long sense I felt anything." The boy turn around stare at the shadow where Ash body blend into. He could not see Ash but he knew he was there.
His bright blue eyes show the boy sadness and happiness. As emotion that was lock away for so long finally was aloud to leave him. A tear feel from his eye unbeknown to him until he felt the liquid ran down his cheek. He rubbed his eyes and smile as big as he could muster. "I sorry you don't need my problem now do you sir"
[Are you.....]
"Ok" shadow finish. "Yep just dandy. Well as good as an 15yr old stuck in a 8yr old body or should I say image." The boy sighed and looked up in the sky and then back at the area where Ash hide. The wind blew and the trees sway from it touch and the grass bend at it will but the boy stood there untouched the wind. "Tell me Ash how does it feel"
[Feel what?]
"Having family, friends that care about you, the wind move across your body, the cool touch of the water, to have a life, to have a clean soul despite what happen. I only have the faintest of memory of these things. Barely could remember my name. Before Ash could even think about it he answer the question. "It started with a T, I wish I could be more helpful."
[She hurt you didn't she] he stated to the Shadow.
"She hurt a lot of people and pokemon. We just happen to survive it all. Is that a good thing or a bad thing I'm not sure. Because for us to survived we had to give up something and that what she use against us." The boy turned his back to Ash and star at the moving water. "I gave up my ability to feel, it pretty funny that I lost my physical form" Shadow spoke as he touch the water again. But this time his body change into water that glow a light blue his hand just merge with the water. He looked as if he would flow away with the current. Ash looked unsure to the boy before him. But once again before he communicated his feeling the boy remove his arm and the water follow until it reform his hand.
"I also lost a family, that one thing I do remember. I never really had a family but then again I cannot lose something if I never had it, but then I lost the chance of having it. Shadow smiled at feeling he got from Ash "Sorry about that, just because I did not act like it I learn a lot around me. Like I say I'm a 15yr old boy stuck in an 8yr old boy image and old person brain to bout."
"Lust" he continued as if nothing happen. "She learned to like to give pain to other. It really weird and scary because she good at it because her skill of healing, another ironic twist of fate. Don't you agree?" Ash listened carefully, he knew he was next but he was met with silent still. Finally he asked the boy.
[What about me what did I lose] Ash felt tense when he asked. He knew he lost something. He left something behind. He not the same Ash, no matter what his friends told him he was not.
Shadow was now laying on his back on the very tips of the grass. Staring at the stars and the moon he spoke up "I use to do this I think, looking at the stars and counting them." He stared at the dark blue sky. "It feels so familiar yet hard t grasp. It just in my mine but I feel I don't belong. It really is a funny feeling you know. I know I could belong but I choose not too. I choose to turn my back and I choose to hide from it. My emotions blind me to what lie in front of me." He rolled on to his stomach where he looked at Ash, who had came out and now looking at the stars. "Do you understand what I mean Ash? Maybe because I not use to them to show up what do you think?"
[No,] Ash shocked his head and look at Shadow. [I had them all my life and still mange to mess up.]
"You only mess up if you don't learn from your mistake, at least that what I heard"
[ I know that phrase all to well but where you heard it from. Unless you don't remember] Ash inquired
He smiled a wicked smile "No I do, but if I tell you, you have to be open minded" Ash tilt his head sideways. "Vine" Ash cringed and growled at that name. "Yeah I know that feeling. That women really foul up that phrase but it still hold a good meaning just not when she use it."
[Don't you hate her? What she did and done to you?] Ash asked. It was anger in voice he could not let go of that feeling. It had purpose that will destroy him but it was there no matter what he did. Shadow did not show no hateful emotion at all and he was feeling a bit envy of the boy control.
"Ash my new friend hate is not a strong enough word to describe the feeling I have for her. The word that could describe the feeling I am now aloud to feel is forbidden to be spoken by the devil himself." While he spoke this Ash saw his eyes narrow as he though of the woman that turned him into what he was now. "But I made a promise to someone who helped me. A promise to talk to you before you do something you will regret."
[Regretted what and who knew I was going be here]
Shadow shrugged his shoulder. "I don't need to answer that first part you know. You had doubts before you got here. I just made sure you listen to your doubts" Shadow said in a matter of fact of a voice. "As for the second one, I don't feel like telling you" he smiled at Ash.
Ash knew was not going get any father. [Then what do you suggest we do about Vine because she has to be stop]
"Yep I completely agree on that one, but I don't want to see no more blood."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lust stood the room where her brothers was supposed to be but neither was there in her sight or smell. Ash had not come back to what should have been a simple clean sweep kill and Shadow been weird. She knew Shadow a long time and she had saw the boy hesitation. Ever so small that it was it was there, and he never hesitated any command from the Mistress. But now he was gone too.
"She losing control" she smiled to herself. "Shadow has awakened and Ash was never completely under obedience. What are you going to do Mistress?" She could not understand why Shadow would be so silly. Yes he was very boring person to be with but how could he betray his Mistress. Either way she knew that there was going be blood spilled. Oh how she love blood. She wondered if Shadow bleed.
"They'll be coming soon. They'll coming soon to play and I be waiting. Brothers I'll be waiting for you both to come."
SD: I know it shorter then my other chapter but I hope it got some good points.

This did not help situation because everyone turned to look at him instead looking at the rapidly melting ice that held Ash. No one notice play heed to as water drip from ice until Tracy voice his opinion on the ice. As soon as Tracy spoke the ice skip the turn to water part and turn to strong mist of vapor and spread in the dark sky.
Ash stood there as Fire Wheel die down to smoke floating in the air. The angry red glare toward at the human and the pokemon in front of him. Ash noted sharp canine teeth were shown as a growl of anger was emitted from his mouth. Sharp barks and weird verbalize cries of 'eons' was quickly mix together with anger and frustration. Ash was shaking his head and closes his tightly like he could not control his anger, which was true. "Shit" was the best way that Grey could describe the situation.
Ash in his multi eevee form looked as if he was about to kill someone. His black short fur stood on end, making him looked a bigger then he really was. His red illuminating marking that glow a dull red look at if they would burst into flame any moment. That gentle eevee look that Ash first appeared to have was now the last thing that anyone was thinking. His eyes were still consumed with a red glow that swift from stare at them to behind him.
Ash then body follow his gaze and he sat down looking away from his friends and family. He look up at the darken sky looking at the stars that shine through the darkness even thought the sky was so much bigger they could be seen and admire for their light. 'What happen to his light' he thought. It was there but pollution much like the light and air pollution made it hard to see but it was still there. [Sorry] he said sadly to them and before anyone could react to his statement every one fill to the ground
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ash saw the fear of his friend though his anger not directed at them he felt the guilt eat at his soul again. But Ash used that same guilt to fuel the fire inside of him. This time he will use his anger and toward the rightful person. No more mind games from himself and Vine. No more hiding, away. He needed to deal with Vine then he deals with his self and his crimes of hurting his friends. But first Vine had to pay she had to pay, because he promise. And she was going pay with blood that she so try to make him spill from his friend.
Ash ran through the woods as quickly as he could with out making no noise to where he was. The woods were only blurs of brown but not cause his speed but because the tear that threaten leave his eyes. Tears mix with anger and hate, and painful feeling of guilt that he mange to cause. He could blame Vine all he wanted but it was still his fault. Ashura was apart him before Vine interfered with his life. It just she made him more noticeable.
Ash shocked away those thoughts, even though that was true Vine was a very sadistic Bitch. She needed to be stop. That what he was going to do. He smell her scent like drug addicted dog on smell of cocaine. Her smell, her face, was just imprinted in his mind in a bad way. She was a drug dealer of death. She destroyed people lives just for her own gain. Ash could emit that most people make mistake and did thing that they wish they never did. She did thing that people wish she never did and feel she had accomplished something greater then moral can give.
What Ash was about to do was surely going destroy any moral he had. He did not believe in killing but that what he was running toward her to do just that. But morals were drown out by anger and pain she had cause him. But how long can anger and the past fuel a person to do thing he normally could not do?
Ash kept on running until he got to river where a boy stood bending over it looking at it. He knew this boy he was as transparent as the water he was touching with his hand. Was this boy any concern to him? He looked though the water to it bottom where rock lay down smooth by the rater currents. He was looking at his reflection that was also easily seen through. The purity of water was clear and clean and hid no secret. 'It's just was water', but the boy look at it hold so much more then that.
"It would seem that way wouldn't" He spoke without looking from the water. Ash was not surprise from the boy answering him. "Water, a life giving sustain that all living thing need. Even fire pokemon can not denied it need of thirst. And yet I do not yield to it call. Do this mean I'm no longer living? A ghost of my former self, a shadow as my 'mother's' name put it." He voice was soft spoken but there was something wrong with how he was speaking because could here the emotion from his voice not the drone sound that he remember him speaking before.
Not sure what to say but he did anyway. [You're different] Ash said carefully. He was not sure if he should let his guard down but he knew this was not the same boy who he met in his head.
He never turned to look at Ash. "I guess I am but that not hard part of life. It trying to stay the same that it hard to do." Shadow put his hand the water once again. "It been too long sense I last felt water you know" The water flow though the boy transparent hand and when he left it up it was still dry. "It been too long sense I felt anything." The boy turn around stare at the shadow where Ash body blend into. He could not see Ash but he knew he was there.
His bright blue eyes show the boy sadness and happiness. As emotion that was lock away for so long finally was aloud to leave him. A tear feel from his eye unbeknown to him until he felt the liquid ran down his cheek. He rubbed his eyes and smile as big as he could muster. "I sorry you don't need my problem now do you sir"
[Are you.....]
"Ok" shadow finish. "Yep just dandy. Well as good as an 15yr old stuck in a 8yr old body or should I say image." The boy sighed and looked up in the sky and then back at the area where Ash hide. The wind blew and the trees sway from it touch and the grass bend at it will but the boy stood there untouched the wind. "Tell me Ash how does it feel"
[Feel what?]
"Having family, friends that care about you, the wind move across your body, the cool touch of the water, to have a life, to have a clean soul despite what happen. I only have the faintest of memory of these things. Barely could remember my name. Before Ash could even think about it he answer the question. "It started with a T, I wish I could be more helpful."
[She hurt you didn't she] he stated to the Shadow.
"She hurt a lot of people and pokemon. We just happen to survive it all. Is that a good thing or a bad thing I'm not sure. Because for us to survived we had to give up something and that what she use against us." The boy turned his back to Ash and star at the moving water. "I gave up my ability to feel, it pretty funny that I lost my physical form" Shadow spoke as he touch the water again. But this time his body change into water that glow a light blue his hand just merge with the water. He looked as if he would flow away with the current. Ash looked unsure to the boy before him. But once again before he communicated his feeling the boy remove his arm and the water follow until it reform his hand.
"I also lost a family, that one thing I do remember. I never really had a family but then again I cannot lose something if I never had it, but then I lost the chance of having it. Shadow smiled at feeling he got from Ash "Sorry about that, just because I did not act like it I learn a lot around me. Like I say I'm a 15yr old boy stuck in an 8yr old boy image and old person brain to bout."
"Lust" he continued as if nothing happen. "She learned to like to give pain to other. It really weird and scary because she good at it because her skill of healing, another ironic twist of fate. Don't you agree?" Ash listened carefully, he knew he was next but he was met with silent still. Finally he asked the boy.
[What about me what did I lose] Ash felt tense when he asked. He knew he lost something. He left something behind. He not the same Ash, no matter what his friends told him he was not.
Shadow was now laying on his back on the very tips of the grass. Staring at the stars and the moon he spoke up "I use to do this I think, looking at the stars and counting them." He stared at the dark blue sky. "It feels so familiar yet hard t grasp. It just in my mine but I feel I don't belong. It really is a funny feeling you know. I know I could belong but I choose not too. I choose to turn my back and I choose to hide from it. My emotions blind me to what lie in front of me." He rolled on to his stomach where he looked at Ash, who had came out and now looking at the stars. "Do you understand what I mean Ash? Maybe because I not use to them to show up what do you think?"
[No,] Ash shocked his head and look at Shadow. [I had them all my life and still mange to mess up.]
"You only mess up if you don't learn from your mistake, at least that what I heard"
[ I know that phrase all to well but where you heard it from. Unless you don't remember] Ash inquired
He smiled a wicked smile "No I do, but if I tell you, you have to be open minded" Ash tilt his head sideways. "Vine" Ash cringed and growled at that name. "Yeah I know that feeling. That women really foul up that phrase but it still hold a good meaning just not when she use it."
[Don't you hate her? What she did and done to you?] Ash asked. It was anger in voice he could not let go of that feeling. It had purpose that will destroy him but it was there no matter what he did. Shadow did not show no hateful emotion at all and he was feeling a bit envy of the boy control.
"Ash my new friend hate is not a strong enough word to describe the feeling I have for her. The word that could describe the feeling I am now aloud to feel is forbidden to be spoken by the devil himself." While he spoke this Ash saw his eyes narrow as he though of the woman that turned him into what he was now. "But I made a promise to someone who helped me. A promise to talk to you before you do something you will regret."
[Regretted what and who knew I was going be here]
Shadow shrugged his shoulder. "I don't need to answer that first part you know. You had doubts before you got here. I just made sure you listen to your doubts" Shadow said in a matter of fact of a voice. "As for the second one, I don't feel like telling you" he smiled at Ash.
Ash knew was not going get any father. [Then what do you suggest we do about Vine because she has to be stop]
"Yep I completely agree on that one, but I don't want to see no more blood."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lust stood the room where her brothers was supposed to be but neither was there in her sight or smell. Ash had not come back to what should have been a simple clean sweep kill and Shadow been weird. She knew Shadow a long time and she had saw the boy hesitation. Ever so small that it was it was there, and he never hesitated any command from the Mistress. But now he was gone too.
"She losing control" she smiled to herself. "Shadow has awakened and Ash was never completely under obedience. What are you going to do Mistress?" She could not understand why Shadow would be so silly. Yes he was very boring person to be with but how could he betray his Mistress. Either way she knew that there was going be blood spilled. Oh how she love blood. She wondered if Shadow bleed.
"They'll be coming soon. They'll coming soon to play and I be waiting. Brothers I'll be waiting for you both to come."
