The Taste Of Blood
Chapter 1
Sherry watched as a small child, Brago, was being violently beaten by his sister. Sherry quickly ripped her eyes off the horrible sight and looked around. There was a tree near by that loomed over a dark lake she stood next to. In front of the three was a large dark cave. The Mamodo world. She turned her gaze back at the two Mamodo in front of her; one was a small child wearing furry black and another wearing the same furry black but with more bones and spikes on it. This was also the one who was pounding mercilessly on the child, on little Brago.
"Stop!" Sherry shouted and dashed in front of Brago's sister and in front of Brago himself. But it was futile. The evil Mamodo's punches and kicks went strait through Sherry and on to the child. This was after all, only a memory.
FLASHSherry collapsed to the ground, breathless and heard the Mamodo that controlled time let out an evil laugh.
"Haha ha. Pathetic, you two call yourself strong?" the green and purple tiny Mamodo cackled. It's partner, a bright blond teen-age boy who stood beside his evil Mamodo laughing along side of him and released Brago from the spell they had cast on him.
Brago fell on all fours and began panting deeply. His pupils were not visible and he looked as if he had just experienced something awful.
Sherry began to say something to him but before she got her chance the time Mamodo snatched Brago's book out of her grip. She gasped in shock and ran at it with everything she had. "NO!" she shrieked and grabbed onto the small Mamodo, trying to pull back the purple book. "NO!" She screamed again and this time bit onto the Mamodo's arm, as hard as she possibly could.
The time Mamodo could only laugh at the human girl as he held the book fast. His human partner began to kick and punch at the girl. Blood splattered onto his face and neck as his partner pounded the girl, yet the human would not let go of the book.
"BRAGO!" Sherry blurted as she fought the alien for the book. "BRAGO SNAP OUT OF IT! HELP ME!" the teenaged boy kicked her hard in the side and she felt the metal taste of blood pour into her mouth. She let out a yelp of pain but kept her hands locked to the Mamodo who was trying to burn Brago's book.
It had a flame in its right hand and the book high in the air with the other. Sherry was trying with all her might to keep the book and that flame as far away from each other as possible.
Brago's pupils were now visible again. He shot a glance at the scene, Sherry fighting the Mamodo's tight grip for his book while trying to withstand countless blows from the human boy. This was all Brago needed. He pushed himself off the ground and flew at the maimed, his teeth bared and his claws swiping at the enemy. He let out a fierce roar and smacked the book out of the time Mamodo's hand.
Just as this happened however, the human was able to give Sherry one last blow to the side of the head with his fist. There was a loud snap and Sherry was on the ground, covered in blood.
Brago scooped up his book and turned back to Sherry. The boy was still kicking her in the side, while her lifeless body twitched with every blow. Brago's past flew before his eyes.
His sister beating him, kicking him and biting him. Throwing him into the black lake that lay beside their parent's old cave. He had been verbally and physically abused and now this human child was pounding on his Sherry? The demon Mamodo flung himself at the human with furry in his eyes and in an instant the boy's head was rolling on the blood stained grass and the body slumped to the ground with a sickening thud.
With the time Mamodo's partner dead, the book disappeared along with it's fuming alien.
Brago walked quickly over to Sherry who lay crumpled on the ground. He turned her so he could see her bruised and bloody face. A long stream of blood was flowing down her chin and from the top of her scalp.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and stared up at the demon Mamodo's eyes of darkness. "Did you do it Brago?" she whispered to Brago and he nodded. The girl let out a harsh cough and blood splattered over hand.
Sherry was able to get up after a while. When she did however, she saw what Brago had done. The boy's head lay a couple of feet away from his body and the entire place was scattered with blood. She crawled over to her foe's body and sat next to it, staring at the damage.
Brago, seeing everything was fine now, got up with his book and began to walk away. "Come on, Sherry." He growled and motioned for her to follow. When she didn't however, he stopped and looked back.
Sherry was still staring at the body. She shook her head and let out a glum smile. "Brago, I don't know how it works in the Mamodo world but…" she trailed off and tore her eyes away from the bloody sight. "…But when you kill someone in this world, you get in trouble." She said and glanced up at her Mamodo partner, wiping away a stream of blood that was trickling down her neck.
Brago did nothing but stare. He showed no signs that he cared but he walked over to the right side of the boy and began to dig.
After a while Sherry noticed that he was digging a grave. It was very deep and when he finished he had to climb out of it.
Brago picked up the body like it was a rag doll and threw it into the hole, along with the head. Sherry helped him put the dirt back in the ground and they used Iron Gravirei to flatten it.
Just as they were leaving sherry began to cough. Brago turned back to his partner and watched her crouch to the ground. He walked over to her and put his hand on her back. She continued to cough.
It was a cough that sounded as if a lot of fluid was coming out.
Brago crouched down next to sherry and tilted her head up so he could see.
Sherry's eyes were rolling back into her head and he entire mouth was covered in blood. She continued to cough and more blood poured out of her mouth. She was letting out short gasps for air and Brago knew that he didn't have much time before it got any worse.
Brago lifted the human onto his back and began to hurry to the nearest hospital. He was actually starting to get worried about the girl.
Sherry's coughing got much worse before they could get back to civilization. They were in a dark part of a woods and there was a small spring next to them.
Brago put sherry gently on the ground and took another look at her bruised face. It had turned black and blue and her eyes-only showed white. Her coughing was coming out in rasps and she wasn't breathing at all.
"SHERRY!" Brago barked and shook his partner's shoulders. "Sherry, speak to me!" he snapped and splashed a small amount of water over her face.
His heart pounded in his chest as she stopped doing anything all together.
Brago felt a sharp singe flow through his body and he noticed he was starting to become see through! He was disappearing! "SHERRY!" he shrieked and grabbed the girl's shoulders again. "NO!"
----------------------------
"My body, I can't move."
SHERRY!
"Somebody's calling my name?"
SHERRY DON'T GO! NO STOP!
"That voice? Brago? What happened, where am I?" Sherry blinked. All she could see was darkness. Nothing. She couldn't move and she couldn't speak. There was also the painful feeling of suffocation. "God, I CAN'T BREATHE!"
Sherry! Wake up you stupid, weak human! WAKE UP!
Sherry could hear Brago's screams to wake her up, but she could do anything about it.
"I'm dead, or I'm dying… I'm sorry, Brago I failed you. I'm so sorry, now you cant become the Mamodo king. After all you've done to get there. I'm sorry…"
Sherry saw a tiny speck of something in front of her. She attempted to reach out but she couldn't, she couldn't move at all. Then there was another one! It canceled out the first light now and she took a look at that one and saw Brago. He was far in the distance but she saw him.
As it got closer she noticed something she'd never seen in Brago before. He was crying.
----------------------------
Brago was nearly gone now. He was losing sight of the blood-covered girl before him. His voice was getting farther and farther away from her. He was leaving her world…
Her eyes opened and the book reappeared at last moment.
Sherry heard Brago let out a sigh of relief. She saw his eyes had turned blood shot and that his face was glistening with tears.
"Brago, I…" was all she could say before she started coughing again. The pain came back along with her movement. She covered her mouth with her blood stained hands and began hacking up more then just blood.
Brago threw her onto his back and ran to civilization like he'd never ran before.
