The Beast Within
Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly, get over it.
A/N: the first chapter starts in the past, when Freddie is about 5 years old.
Chapter 1 (The Last Beast)
Dark clouds formed over the park as Mrs. Benson pulled her son into a tree covered area. "What's going on mommy?" Freddie asked as he looked up at Mrs. Benson.
"Shh, be silent, Freddie," Della Benson stated. "You'll be safe here." Della and Freddie looked out of the hiding spot and saw a young man lying on the ground behind a dark haired older woman, they were slayers. They were the mortal enemy of the one they were fighting, in front of the woman stood a man with long dagger-like claws and fangs coming from his mouth. His eyes were a bright red, and his pupils were small white dots, veins were popping out all over his body.
"Finally I have forced you out of the human shell you have," The woman said with narrow eyes. "Now I must do my job and destroy the last beast!"
"I can't fight anymore, mom," The boy on the ground said with a groan. The woman looked at the boy and shook her head.
"That is alright, Spencer, just relax and let me handle this. Remember this, Spencer; all beasts are evil, no matter what. Every beast must die, so use whatever you can to kill them. This should be the last remaining one on earth, but you never know. So that is why your father and I will continue to train you as well as your sister from this day forward."
"All beasts are evil?" Spencer asked. "Yeah, I'll remember that…it seems they're not evil when they're in their human shell."
"It's just a façade; they are the vilest creatures of all. They are not to be trusted by anyone; they will destroy and maim every little thing they get their hands on." Mrs. Shay took her a sword and charged toward the beast. "You will die here you ravenous demon!" The beast roared and charged toward Mrs. Shay, it brought down its clawed hand and she brought her sword up and placed it horizontally above her face, avoiding the hit. "Spencer, another good thing for you to remember is the kiss of a slayer can bring out the beast, but the touch of an angel subdues them."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"I won't let you harm them," The beast said in a distorted voice. He glanced over at the trees where Della and Freddie were hiding. "I must protect them!"
"You want to eat them!" Mrs. Shay shouted. "I cannot allow that!" She pushed the beast off of her and slashed it across the chest. "I will destroy you!"
"No!" The beast slashed upwards and pierced her chest. "I don't want to hurt you!"
"Hah!" Mrs. Shay leapt back and growled, blood dripping from the wound she had. "All beasts want to do is slaughter, you are hungry for blood and that is why you must die!"
"You are wrong!" The beast stared into Mrs. Shay's eyes and growled. "A beast is capable of love, they are capable of happiness, sadness, and all the other emotions that a normal human has."
"Beasts feel nothing; they have no feeling inside of them!" Mrs. Shay charged toward the beast and thrust the sword through its shoulder.
"Ah!" The beast cried out in pain and then bit down onto Mrs. Shay's shoulder.
"Damn you, you have infected me you foul demon!" Mrs. Shay kicked the beast away and growled. "I will destroy you and if you have had any spawn, I shall destroy them too!"
"No, never, I won't let you harm anyone that I love, I am not evil!"
"Lies, quit with your lies you foul demon!" Mrs. Shay slashed her sword from the beast's shoulder down through his abdomen and out his side.
"Ugh, it hurts!"
"Do not trick me with your deceit, you will not succeed. You feel no pain, you are not human!" The beast roared and slashed down Mrs. Shay's back.
"We are human, but with a creature that lives inside of us. We are burdened with these things, we cannot control them. I am sorry, I cannot control my actions." The beast thrust his claws through her lower back.
"Mom, no!" Spencer shouted as he struggled to pull himself up.
"I am okay, Spencer," Mrs. Shay said quietly. "Do not worry about me any; this is just what you expect between a slayer and a beast." Spencer looked over at the young blonde girl that had been watching the entire scenario, just prior to the battle beginning, she had been talking with the beast. Then the beast's family came and Spencer's mom struck the beast before the family introduced themselves.
"Why are you doing this?" The girl asked. She ran over to Spencer and stared at him. "Your mom is killing him, why?"
"You're an angel, you figure it out," Spencer said quickly. The girl stared at him in confusion; she didn't have any idea what he was talking about. The beast had begun talking to the girl about the same thing; she didn't even know what that meant.
"How can I be an angel? I'm not dead!"
"You have the power of an angel. You should be fighting with us! Angels hate the beasts as well! Beasts are demons, you should be helping my mother to destroy the very creature that was about to attack and kill you! Beasts and Angels hate each other more so than the slayers hate the beasts, so why don't you help us!"
"I don't know how, I don't even know what you're talking about."
"Leave the girl alone!" The beast shouted as he charged toward Spencer.
"I think not," Mrs. Shay said as she charged toward the beast and hit him in the side. "You will not be devouring this angel!"
"What the hell are you talking about? I don't want to devour her!"
"I'm not an angel," The girl said while stepping back. Her eyes were wide with fear. "I don't even know what that is."
"It's a power that has yet to be awakened, it will be awakened soon."
"All you have to do is touch the beast," Mrs. Shay said with a smirk. "Touch the beast and take him to his human form, and we can destroy him with more ease."
"Why do I we have to fight him?" The girl asked. "Why do we have to kill him? He says he's not evil…"
"He lies, that's all they are good for!" Spencer shouted. "All beasts are good for are lies!"
"They hate angels, they kill the angels and that is what this beast was going to do, he was going to kill you," Spencer said while struggling to push himself up.
"You're hurt, don't move yourself," The girl said quickly.
"I'm fine, but my mother is in worse shape, help her!"
"I won't do it; I won't help you kill someone who isn't evil!" Spencer's mouth fell as the girl pushed him to the ground and walked slightly away from the battle. "He's not evil, so I won't help you to kill him…"
"You're making a grave mistake if you think he's not going to try killing whoever comes into contact with him, that's why Angels and Slayers have to work together, to destroy the beasts." The beast grabbed Spencer from the ground and lifted him up.
"Stop filling this girl's head with your slayer lies," The beast said with a growl. "Beasts are not vile; it is you slayers who don't understand."
"Unhand my son!" Mrs. Shay shouted as she stabbed the beast in the back. "If you wish to live, you will release my son now."
"Hell, you're going to kill me anyway, so why bother?" The beast tossed Spencer onto the ground and turned around, while doing this, he scratched Mrs. Shay's face. "You claim that we are evil, yet the angel sees no evil in me. Slayers are from the earth, they are supposed to listen to the angels." The beast grabbed Mrs. Shay's throat and tossed her to the ground. "It is true, a beast and an angel should hate each other, but there are those chances where they won't."
"You will not fool me with your lies; did I not mention this before?" Mrs. Shay shot up and thrust the sword through the beast's abdomen. She knew that if she kissed the beast while in beast form, it would kill him, a slayer's kiss could pull the beast out and a slayer's kiss could kill the already transformed beast instantly. The beast saw her nearing him and quickly pushed her away.
"I will not allow you to win!"
"Good shall prevail over evil!"
"Stop the fighting!" The girl shouted.
"Do it, mom!" Spencer exclaimed as he managed to pull himself up. "Kill him!"
"Tell me, do you have family? Do you have spawn? Are there more of you lying around?" Mrs. Shay asked with narrow eyes. The beast looked to the forest and his eyes met Della's he glanced at Mrs. Shay and narrowed his eyes.
"I am the last beast," the beast said as he grabbed Mrs. Shay's arm. "I am the final one."
"Then I will destroy you the only way I can." Mrs. Shay swung her arm around the beast and thrust the sword through the beasts back and through her abdomen. Spencer's eyes widened as the sword began to glow brightly. "Spencer dear, continue to train your younger sister, and listen to your father well. If this beast is correct, there will be no others, but if he lies like a dog, hunt. Hunt and train Carly to the end, destroy whatever beast you can find, remember they are all evil!" Spencer ran toward his mother as she looked at the beast. The sword flashed and as it disappeared, both the beast and Mrs. Shay were torn apart, their bodies in pieces.
"Mother!" Spencer exclaimed. "No! Damn you beast! You better hope there are no more of you, because if there are, I'll kill you! You're lucky if you don't have any more family, because if you did…I'd rip them to shreds just as you are in." The girl that had been watching the fight fell to her knees and tears left her eyes, Spencer glanced at her and slowly walked away, tears stinging his cheeks.
There is the first chapter, I hope you liked it. So here you you have it. The beast, the slayer and the angel. Beasts come out when there is a lot of rage flowing, the Angel power has yet to be explored. Hope you got most of what was going on, a slayer's kiss is very deadly to a beast apparently. Anyway, the next chapter should be up relatively soon.
