MisoGirl: Female cramps are a bitch . . .--#
Chrono: Too much information.
Azmaria: What's 'female cramps'?
MG: You're one of the reasons why people invented birth control.
C: That was mean.
A: (sniff)
MG: NAH–! Stop your sniffling, you wimp.
C: Hey!! You have no right to call her that! Azy's a strong girl. She lost everything! Would a wimp try to escape from Ricardo Hendric? Hmmm?!
MG: (blink) . . . (blink) . . . Funny. I know plenty of people that lost plenty, and one that hade nothing to start with. Now she's off whooping french ass in France. AND if any of them were escaping from any short of entrapment, I can't see them hiding in a laundry hamper within the first five minuets of taking the first step to escaping.
A: W–What? (cries)
MG: Oh. And they didn't run away and cry when someone found out anything from their past/problems. I hung with people with problems that didn't let it bother them.
Silent Vengeance
Chapter Five
Ghost Prison
The occupants of the little brandy colored van gawked at their 'driver' as she merely hummed a happy tone. A vain throbbed on the young exorcist's for head. She whipped out her gun and pressed it to the insane's driver's temple, wile making sure that her rear end was well hidden from view. "You turn back for Father Remington right now." Rosette emphasized her threat by releasing the safety.
An hazel eye leered over to it's corner towards the gun-barrel. From her view from underneath a heap of groaning bodies, Shader could of sown that she saw for half a second that, that eye became demonic. As quickly as it happened it was back to normal on a sigh. "Your threat could of worked better if you hade bullets in that toy."
"What?!" The girl squawked and a hallow click fallowed her voice. As the golden blond exorcist began to beat on the barrel, she ignored her younger brother climbing over the seats to the front and sat himself down next to the driver's.
"You're really brave." The teenaged boy commented shyly. "No girl ever willingly went head to head with my sister before."
The frizzy haired woman raised a finger to tell him silently to hold that thought as she turned the corner and rammed into a miss shaped gray form that sounded like a derange monkey as it flung over their heads. "Well it's quit simple. The last time I was a girl I buried my family." She said flatly as it rolled off her back like smoke. Pity washed over the boy's face and before a word of regret made it's way to his throat. "Son of a bitch!" That out burst nearly made him jump out the window as the others nearly lepted through the roof. Their driver grabbed his hands and pulled them to the wheel. "Hold this sonny." She ordered and she rolled down the window and leaned out. Inside the darkness the nine tailed woman snatched at something and a protest echoed as she sat back down. Back in the driver's set she pulled on a black leather cap on her head with a satisfied smirk. "My hat."
"Wha–?" the young boy raised an eye brow.
"My. Hat." The pants wearing kitsune said a little flatly. "What's so hard about that?" She asked out loud to no one. The woman froze in her action of securing the hat on, and began to blink wildly. On an odd hum she snatched Joshua around his torso and kicked open the door. "Bridge out. Time to jump." Was all she said as she swung onto the hood and lepted upwards into the inky black sky.
As the wind wiped though his hair, the young apostle boy heard his sister scream bloody murder and prayed that she made it out safely as the mini van fell into the abyss below. A deep loud twine of thick wire hummed in his ear and soon found out he was flipping and sinning in the air like an acrobat. Two feet hit the thicker guard wire making a loud panging sound too echoed in the darkness. He glanced up and saw MisoGirl totally within her element. "Worry about ye sis?" She asked a bit too calmly for the situation they were just in. "Don't worry. Tall, dark, and demon saved her . . . and the rest of them too."
"What? How do you know?" The young teen asked bewildered.
She at first blinked at him not believing what she just heard. "I'm a fox." The woman said with a smile, like she was hoping at will click something on in his brain. On a sigh she slumped her shoulder not believing how ignorant that boy she was holding like a laundry sack. "Foxes have nocturnal vision . . . meaning they can see at night." The woman said angling her head just so that the boy could see the glow in her eyes.
Rosette wrapped her arms around Chrono's neck tighter, praying at she wouldn't fall. Felling solid ground beneath her feet she slowly slid out of the demon's strong arms. The cold air rushed up her ripped skirt and given her goose pimples. She glanced up at the tall demon and took a look around where they were. The two partners were on an fire escape of an apartment building that looked rusted with age. "Where's the others?" The young exorcist ask seeing no one was there with them.
"Don't worry. They all got out safely." The demon's deep voice hummed over her head. "But it seems that we're separated now . . ." He hummed as he let his eyes slid up and down the you woman's curvy figure.
She glanced over her shoulder at him and into his piercing amber eyes. A rush of heat flooded her cheeks and burned her eyes. Snapping her head back to where it was before, the young exorcist looked down the fire escape. The dark pitch mist hovered on the streets below, but wasn't too thick to cover most of the details. Squinting her eye to see any movement, but judge that she was too far up to tell. She turned sharply to her left and began to descend down the iron stairs. The rusted metal clanked beneath her feet and the woman heard the echos of her partner's steps behind her. Arctic ice wind rushed up the back of her legs and bit her rear pink.
On her scream the demon pressed himself to her and wrapped one arm around her middle. "Don't worry. I'll protect you." He comforted her with his warm word and voice. Before she could correct him, she stumbled on the last stair and she gave out a soft yelp. After that he stayed close to her, but she didn't mind, he blocked most of the icy winds. Sliding down the latter at the bottom of the escape, the concrete slapped their rubber soles with puddles and oil spots.
She rushed up ahead of him and squinted in the fog. The woman saw what she hopped saw were mannequins through the soiled windows on the building in front of her. She skipped across the street to store and slapped her palms on the window. Rosette squinted her eyes further only succeeding making her vison even more blurry. A screeching sound bounced around the air surrounding her. A blur of sickly pale yellow landed before her. The creature stood up on its uneven legs. Its heads looked to been chewed and one was squashed onto its chest. The thing cackled like an ape as it rased on of it's mix-matched arms up. The monster swung at her and hit her right cheek. She fell to the ground, her ivory cheek turning red.
The thing was about to attack again but it was thrown into the brick wall. Chrono jumped in front of her and the thing stumbled to its feet. The demon swiped at its chest and it fell onto it's back, clear liquid spilling out of the wound. There were echos of meany screeches vibrating around them. More of the chimeras jumped in on them, three of which were running on all fours like monkeys. They all lepted at the demon, which the demon easily knocked down with a roundhouse.
Rosette started to get to her feet when the cement cracked where her head was. The first of the monster was on its feet and attacking Rosette already. The thing's tick clear blood oozed out of the gapping wound on its chest stumbled back when it was kick by Chrono. The demon spun around and grabbed Rosette's hand and ran to the steel door. After the second attempt the door gave way and it shut on a loud clang sound behind them.
The young exorcist stared wide-eyed horror into the demon's crimson pools. It should have been dead! The girl screamed in her head. Where Chrono's claws sliced the thing's heart should have been cut in too. But it stood right back up like they were in a water fight. She opened her mouth to shoot out thousands of questions, but a loud bang made her squawk like a duckling. The monsters outside gathered around the window and began to beat on it. The window bends and vibrated but never shattered. Chrono pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her on her hair. After five minutes of banging on the glass, they gave up. Seeing that they only smudged it up some more.
Felling the demon's arms loosen around her she stepped away. Glancing around she saw hooks and racks filled with brand-new clothes for women, for all occasions. Unbuttoning her Sunday-dress Rosette grabbed one sweeter off the rack. "Well . . . I might as well change out of these tattered clothes wile I'm here." She hummed and looked at a strawberry dress.
Azmaria stumbled and fell to the asphalt from the demon's arms. Aion stared down at the Songstress of Vega sprawled at his feet as Shader crawled off his back. "Well you can say one thing." The cat-woman sighed. "Girl's got spunk." Then she grinned from fury ear to fury ear. She skipped around her leader and squinted through the thick midnight fog, and walked right into a large stone wall. The cat scientist fell back and onto of the little apostle. They both screamed and scrambled and ran around in circles.
The white-haired demon sighed and rubbed his temples, almost praying for something . . . anything than these two. "All right everyone! Just shut up!" The man waved his arms around. "Can anyone tell me where we are?"
Both girl stopped in their tracks and glanced at a fuzzy black squar near them. Azy face lit up as Shader laughed. They both turned to him and said at the same time.
"Prison!" Shader giggled like a school girl.
"School!" Azmaria yipped like a new born pup.
Aion's mouth dropped, as he looked between the two girls. "What?"
The platinum-blond girl spun on the cat demon. "How can you say that?" The girl squawked.
"What kind of messed up school did you go to?" The scientist hopped back.
"W–what?" The girl gasped with tears forming in her eyes. "It says right here, 'Bartholomew's Catholic School'." The apostle's pale hand tapped the plaque nearest to her.
"Did your teacher skip the part when they teach you how to read?" The sandy haired woman gasped. "It says quite clearly, 'Tetragrammaton Correction Facility', right here." Her palm slapped the plaque on the other side of the stone wall.
The leader of the sinners was pressing his palms to his eyes. Then in a short fit of frustration he punches the nearest light poll to him. The metal stung his fist as well vibrated violently. The hum rung the air and it seemed Aion hit the right cord because the bulb lit up, luminescence the area around the three. Both of the large plaques could easily be read. In bold gilded letters one said 'Tetragrammaton Correction Facility', wile the other stated 'Bartholomew's Catholic School'. A grin cracked the demon features at the placement of the two building. "This place is just getting more and more interesting."
The two twin iron gates stood side by side like neighbors with the faded silhouettes sat far in the distance. He looked between them and turned towards the jail. "The prison would be a better place to go." The demon leader said aloud. "It'll have radio and better security than the school."
The young apostle squeaked as the two demons disappeared behind the iron gate and quickly ran after them. She caught up to them as the door shut behind her. The lights above them flickered on and off as they dripped metallic smelling water to their feet. The walls' hade water damage as well as rust and blood stains. The ceramic floors were cracked and moldy, and some of the tiles were missing. Aion grabbed a handle on a door and sung it open with some effort. Rusted wheels creaked as metal against metal clanged behind the door. The lights flashed on in the dark room laminating old fashion gurneys with corpses on them. Twisted decaying bodies with their eyes withered like old peas. Fungus covered some of them while other was under soiled sheets that were once white. The lights around them blue a fuse and plunged them into darkness.
"Why would a prison need gurneys for?" The tall demon asked rather calmly. He tuned around toward the girls and found out he could bearlly see their outlines in the darkness. Reaching out a hand and grabbing the arm of the one nearest to him. Felling the cloth of the sleeve he knew it was Shader. "Grab hold of the songstress." He ordered quietly so he wouldn't scar either of the girls. The male waited two beats and gently tugged on the arm, hearing no objection he started to lead them down the hall. Keeping one hand on the wall so they wouldn't miss any door that could help them along the way. His hand hit an empty doorway and he slowly pulled the girls into the room. He felt a desk to his left and he began to search through the drawers while keeping his hand on Shader's wrist. Finding nothing but a pen and sticky paper, he moved to the next one.
He was on the third desk he finally found something useful. Pulling out the long cylinder, he fumbled around for the on switch. Flicking his thumb over the slot the flashlight shone into his eyes. Blinking out the pock-o-dots he flash the light onto the girls as they squinted in its yellow ray. He handed to the little apostle girl and went on looking in the drawers for a radio. The demon stopped when he saw a note written on the wall. "Mis. Hendric, could you bring the light over here?" The young choir girl did as she was asked and shone the light on the wall.
BETRAYERS OF LAWS
Bold bloody words were written above the desk they were at. Blood splatter cascaded up that wall with a patter of bloody hand prints up and along the walls. The light was shone on the floor to revile that they were walking on dried blood pools all over the tiles. The girl moved the light around the room and the three word message was written in all sizes around them. Azmaria pulled the light up to the ceiling above them. Skeletons and mummified remains were skewered onto the ceiling.
The girl screamed at the top of her longs and tossed the flashlight out of her hand. She ducked under Shader's arm and clung onto her waist. The demon cat caught it before it fell to the floor. The odd scientist shone the light on the corpses above them. "Well whoever did this, they get points for creativity." The woman attempt to lighten the mood didn't work as Aion made her lower the flashlight.
"Stay on track Shader." The demon almost scolded the scientist. "We need to find a radio and some sort of weapons now." He reminded her.
The cat blinked her neon amber eyes at him for a second. "Well . . . what about there?" The woman gestured with the flashlight over his shoulder. Looking in the direction of the light he saw a door with golden word 'chef' written on the glass under the blood.
The three of them made their way to the office with Azmaria hiding her face in Shader's armpit. The man swung open the door and the smell of decay hit them like a stormy wind. There at the large desk was a bloated chef. His skin was swollen like an over inflated balloon. Dew drops of dirty water coated him like sweat. Black slugs an maggots crawled in and out of his mouth, ears, and eyes.
A loud squeak came from the platinum apostle as she attempted to hid in the cat's ribs. Aion sighed to himself as he let go of Shader's wrist, he told her to keep the desk lit where ever he looked. The scientist nodded once and did as she was told. He opened and closed drawers sloshing with liquid fat and dead leaches. The demons finally found a radio on the back of the book case and a box of bullets. After finding the projectiles he began to look for the gun they were made for.
Shader jumped as Azy nearly crack one of her ribs. The young woman started to lecture the child, but she hear was scared the girl. "Children's laughter?" The scientist questioned. The sounds of tinny laughter bounced off the blood stained walls. She flashed the light on the ceiling to find if the sound came from a vent. The only sing of apertures she saw were covered up by staligtights made by she decided that it was better of not knowing what. She moved the beam around the room until it fell upon a large hole on the wall to her right.
The woman felt Aion's presents walking up next to her as she shone the on the opening. The hole on the wall was in fact a tunnel. It wasn't a short tunnel, nor was it a long tunnel. It had some small staligtights and stalagmites at the opening made from the foul waxy liquid. At the end of the hallow cylinder there was what seems to be a gravel yard.
The two demons looked at one another, then at the human girl crushing one of their rib cage. They nodded at once and knew they hade to get her away from the corpses. Their leader let the two girls go into the tunnel first and took the rear. They stumbled and slipped on the wet surface of the tunnel, but they manage to make it out safely.
Azmaria peeked out of her 'hiding place' when she felt lose stones under her feet. She slowly looked up and saw that they ended up in a gravel yard with cracked and broken concrete benches. "We'll split up from here." The loud booming voice of the Alaskan snow haired man said. "Meet back here in five. If you see a door, you can open it but no leaving the yard alone." He said as he pried the girls apart.
Shader ran crying for air as Aion briskly walked away in the other direction. Azy stood there for a minute, knees shaking and a prayer on her lips that she wouldn't wet her new undies. The girl decided that waking would calm her nerves, so she went in a strait line. She didn't know how far she walked but the girl stopped dead in her tracks. In her path was a large old fashion grandfather's clock that sat on wooden stage of some sort. The clock hade an image of the grim reaper painted upon it's face with the long hand as his scythe. She sucked in a breath when she saw a frayed hang's man rope to the left of the clock.
"What I thought wasn't mine, in the light. Was one of a kind, a precious pearl." A sad hallow voice echoed around the girl. She squeaked and spun around with her knees chattering like cartoon skeletons. "When I wanted to cry. I couldn't cause I wasn't allowed." The airy voice continued with the verse, as a blood red smoke wafted up from the stage's floor boards. The strange smoke rise up more and formed a foreign skit then a baggy white shirt. Soon an hallow image of a woman was there with curly jet black hair and sky blue eyes."Gomenasai for everything. Gomenasai, I know I let you down. Gomenasai till the end, I never needed a friend, like I do now." The woman beneath the clock sang with crystal tears cascading down her pale cheeks. She crossed her arm over her stomach as the other's hand cover her mouth. "What I thought wasn't all, so innocent. It was a delicate doll, of porcelain." She brought her hand down and made a fist over her breast.
Azy turned around to face her as the girl's knees buckled and she fell to the gravel. The woman on the stage wasn't looking at her, but she was facing the hang man's rope. "When I wanted to call you, and ask you for help . . . I stopped myself!" The woman's tears flooded her sockets and flow down her fans and pooled at her bare feet. "Gomenasai for everything. Gomenasai, I know I let you down. Gomenasai till the end, I never needed a friend, like I do now." She brought her other arm to join the one around her waist. "What I thought was a dream, a mirage. Was as real as it seemed, a privilege."
The platinum blond apostle was frozen like a deer in the head lights. The little wimp couldn't move one inch let along run for it. "When I wanted to tell you, I made a mistake . . . I walked away!!" The woman nearly wailed as she threw her head back and took a few sidesteps towards to edge of the stage. "Gomenasai, for everything. Gomenasai, Gomenasai, I never needed a friend. Like I do now!!!" She crossed her arms over her chest and she bent forwards, and tuned her body towards the front to the stage. "Gomenasai, I let you down. Gomenasai, Gomenasai, Gomenasai, Gomenasai till the end, I never needed a friend. Like I do now!!" With the final note she rased her head. Just below her jaw was a deep gouge along her neck, where the hang man's rope would of been tied.
The little apostle girl screamed bloody murder and ran like an A-bomb was coming right for her. Rock spitted up behind her after she slipped and skidded on her face.
Sister Kate stood up and dusted herself off, along with Gilliam and his partner. The woman glanced around them seeing only six people missing, excluding Ewan who was forced out of the car before they had to jumped out. The middle aged nun helped up the aged scientist, and ordered everyone to fallow her. There were protests from the two demons with them but went along with them. The streets at nigh seemed to be longer and more dangerous than in the day. They fallowed the maid road, walking closely together. All of them half expecting some form of nightmare to leap out of nowhere and attacked them. The only thing that happened was something ran into the chain linked gate. They came upon a large building. The good sister walked up to it and announced that it was a library.
They hade to force the doors open but they made it inside. The maid house light were out but the table lamps worked fine. They all sat at the nearest one except for Genai who was beating a foolish couch that stood in his way, (meaning he walked into it). The humans were debating how where they should go from here, while the oversized demon was reading a rather thick book titled, 'Powerful Poisons'. They were talking and yelling through out the night. By dawn Genai got tiered and fell asleep on the couch as so did Elder, resting his head on the table. Kate was now shooting questions at Jack Gilliam why didn't the barrier worked on that woman, as Veda opened his tenth book.
Suddenly a door was swung open and everyone jumped where they were. Genai sat up where he slept as Elder fell off his chair, while Gilliam shot up to his feet with his weapon drawn. Kate stood up so fast that her chair tumbled to the floor while Fiore brandish a lamp like a club.
Ewan Remington stood there with his hand on the door staring out at them like they all merged into one. The midnight silk haired Setsuka slipped under his extended arm and into the room. While the Father was splattered by blood and stained, the foreign woman was pristine and clean as a whistle. The straw hair man dropped his arm and stepped out of the way of the closing door. "How the heck does that work?" He shouted at the top of his longs. "We were in the sewers but we end up in a bathroom?!"
"Well . . . we climbed up the latter and went through the manhole." The Japanese lulu said with light humor in her voice. With a smile curling her lips she calmly walked out the door. They all fallowed her out when they got their bearings with the young priest still questioning who would put a manhole in the woman's bathroom. When they were all outside they saw one of the apostle clung to the green eyed woman's waist.
"What happened Azmaria?" Kate ran up to their side and gently patted the girl's back.
"I don't know." The now very angry, very annoyed Aion huffed out. "We were at the prison . . ."
"You took her to prison?" Ewan asked flabbergasted.
"Hey! It's everyone!!!!" A cheery voice echoed across the road. Rosette ran down towards them in her new outerwear. She wore a pink plaid, pleaded mini skirt with a white shirt that didn't have enough buttons to cover her belly. The young exorcist skidded to a stop in her new black knee high boots.
"S–sister Rosette! What are you wearing?" The Older Nun shouted. "You look like a tramp."
A red vain popped on the young woman's forehead. "What? AND what I was wearing before was better?" The golden lulu hissed. "At least in this noone can see my butt! See? Look for yourself." With that said the girl spun around so her rear-end face the crowd.
The snow white haired demon smiled and tilted his head to one side. Then his head was pushed back by a large hand. Peeking through the spaces of the fingers he saw the glowing red eyes of his former sward. "What?" The sinner leader shrugged his shoulders. "She said to look." He said with a grin.
Rosette spun around red in the face hearing Aion was checking out her butt. The girl was ready to chew his head off but froze when she saw someone was missing. "Where's Joshua?"
