Dark Angels

Usuani: I'm sorry I haven't posted… ;; so busy lately… anyway, enjoy…

Her breath was coming and going fast, her legs felt like jelly and her mind seemed to have gone blank. Hey eyes were cast down, glazed over in anger and sadness. Her shoulders were trembling violently and her hands were balled into fists. Everything around her had crashed down when the knowledge of her best friend being dead was processed in her brain. She was snapped back to reality when she felt some sort of pain in her hand and she looked down at her hands, they were stained with blood… her blood. Her nails had pierced her skin when she had clenched her hands into fists.

She slowly looked up at the amused face of Jomalie before picking up the daggers that had fallen to the ground when she had been shocked enough to let her weapons fall. She inhaled deeply and raced toward Jomalie jumping into the air, flipping her body forward and in mid air threw the daggers in her direction.

Everything seemed to slow down as Jomalie gasped. Holly had managed to not only throw daggers at her at the same time she had but she had actually been able to dodge hers by flexing her body at odd angles avoiding each weapon. Swiftly as the wind she ran kicking Jomalie at the chin and then at her feet until she was down on the ground and herself atop the other. Tears danced their way down her face to her neck and onto the clothing of Jomalie as Holly silently pulled the daggers from each side of Jomalie, she had purposely failed to wound her just to get her guard down.

Her hand raised and she brought the dagger down to the other girl's throat. Jomalie's eyes widened and she began to somewhat cough up blood. Holly's face was stained with the blood of her enemy and she stood pressing her foot down to Jomalie's throat. Jomalie slowly looked up at her and noticed her sight was blurry. She reached out to Holly ever so slowly but stopped when her vision was clear enough to see her murder's face… Holly's face was tear and blood stained. Her hair blew along with the wind, dirt covered her every place and her eyes…. those hazel eyes… they were colder, emotionless, they were those of a true murder, a mad man… they were her true self…

"Go to Hell…" Holly whispered coldly.

"I-I will be there…" Jomalie began, inhaling trying her best to speak without hurting herself too much. "waiting for you… Holly.." Holly's eyes narrowed and she pressed her foot down. Hard. Snapping her neck instantaneously.

A snapping noise was heard and a grunt near her as well. She turned toward the noise ready to fight but stopped herself from running toward the noise when she saw it was only Artemis trying to sit up. His sight was unfocused and as he struggled to sit up but when he did, his breath caught in a gasp. The mere sight of Holly made him want to run to her. His eyes traveled to Jomalie and he had to look away in disgust, he then turned to look at Opal and his eyes glazed over with sadness.

Holly stared at him and when he had looked at Jomalie, she had a lurching feeling in her stomach. Her eyes too traveled to Opal and she slowly and painfully made her way to her. She bent on her knees and gathered her in her arms. She remembered then the words of advice Opal would always tell her whenever they remembered Foaly.

"Please don't be sad, Holly, Foaly is in a better place now, I'm sure of it!... and.. uh.. He said we should never be sad for him because if we are so will he so… if I ever die, don't be sad! Don't cry! I will be in a better place! I'm sure of it! So please don't be sad…" Holly stared at her friend the whole time and at the end smiled at her sweetly tackling her to the ground with a gentle laugh.

Holly inhaled her friend's scent along with that of her blood and stood up with her in her arms. She walked toward Artemis and stared down at him with cold eyes. If Opal had not been able to be happy then neither would she. She stared at him for what seemed an eternity and then finally spoke up,

"You are one of the very few genii in the world, Artemis… erase all track of yourself from me… move away do what you have to do, But get away from them… if they find you, you will die. They are not like any other people you've ever seen… believe me…" She said as he stood up with wobbly legs. He reached out and touched her shoulder gently.

"What are you saying? It's as if you were saying goodbye…" He whispered.

"This is a goodbye… did you think that after I killed one of their agents they will let me live? Haha" she laughed bitterly. "I think not! All I have left is Opal's corpse and at last she is free… but I… I must run, I am not free… you are, it isn't too late for you…"

"You are wrong! Let's go.. together!" He said but she shrugged his shoulder away. Her gaze fell upon Opal's and she silently wished she was asleep and not dead.

"No-Its too late for me…. They will be here soon, leave…" She replied turning to him. He grabbed her shoulder and quickly pressed his lips to her but she pulled away, tears threatening to spill at any moment. She gulped and pushed the tears back, she would not cry. She was an assassin and as such, she could not show weakness. She stared into his eyes and softened her gaze to let him know what she felt.

"Goodbye…Artemis…" She whispered and began to walk away. He could have held her back but something told him to let go, that she would be back someday… that their paths would once again cross.

"No…" He whispered to her retreating form. "See you soon…my love... My... Dark Angel..." He finished…
