The Other Side Of My Reflection
Authors Notes: This is my first ever Trinity Blood Fanfic so sorry if it is not the best. Please do leave reviews after words and tell me what you think.
Prologue:
He was prepared strike forward, to fight Ditrech off, wound him if all possible. As long as no one else would get hurt. Abel in his life ad already lost so many, he could not find it in his heart to lose anymore people he cared for. His heart just would not be able to take it.
Abel had yet to get over the death Sister Noelle witch was more then his fault. Along with that of his first love, a death that would forever haunt him, the marking of his so many sins. Somehow, though he could not kill Ditrech, he was a human not vampire. Even if his heart was purely evil, he was only human.
Yet, if he continued in this manner, the Crusink may have no other choice but to stain his scythe with human blood. Breaking the promise, he had made his beloved so long ago. Abel lunged for the Puppet master Scythe aimed to strike his shoulder, not to kill but enabling him in use of his arm, to handicap him until the others within the underground of Albion could escape safely. Trying to keep his wits from caving under the anger of his Crusink side witch screamed for death, for vengeance. This was not Cain, this man was being brain washed into doing what he thought was right, Abel had no right to take out his grief and self-pain on him.
His scythe's blade, witch was inches from hitting its main target when the air changed, charged with another presence he knew to well. One he had not felt in nine hundred years and never wished to feel again.
Abel watched as Dietrich smiled to greet his master only to end up with a hole being blown through his chest. Standing there mouth agape as he stared at his beloved master, hands out like a pour lost child, not understanding what he had done wrong.
''Mas...master...'' he choked sliding to his knees. ''W...why what...did... I..do wrong...''
Abel's eyes widened as the young boys body collapsed in a heap, rushing to his side as he rolled him over, eyes narrowing as he detected no sign of life any longer within the flesh. Pain and grief at the Crusink's features for such a un-needless loss of life, even if the boy seemed deranged something more suitable could be found in hopes of helping him. Something better then this! He clenched his eyes shut fighting off angry tears that threatened to flow, holding the limp body slightly close as blood red tears fell from his eyes.
''Pathetic.'' The chilling voice said coming from the figure clad in white sanding behind Abel, his features hauntingly resembling the mourning Priest whom now stiffened on the ground, his face hardening slightly, as tears continued to fall.'' He was nothing but a mere human and just a mere waste of time, disobeying orders like that. Waiting time with a place such as this when I made my target clearly known. Nevertheless, we cannot be fussy eh my younger brother. Overall, it led me back to you now didn't it.'' The blond smiled his face almost innocent, if one did not know it they would assume him a buffoon.
Someone of s simple mind and a gentle nature yet their, was also something dark and merciless about his grin as he stepped closer a seemingly comforting hand outstretched.
''Come now brother, be glad were together. We can reform as one, you will no longer be in pain and I shall have my full body back. Come now, there is no need to waste such useless emotion over something so useless as this human waste, they die so easily I find no reason to come close to them as you seem to be. A shame in deed being there days of life are numbed you don't want to suffer with more blood on your hands now do you? Come Abel join me...''
Something snapped inside Abel, something that he had held barely together for so log. Anger, grief, hatred once more running through his whole body at brain numbing speed as he relived his past. His brother's betrayal, and Lilith's pain in her last final moments of life. The last battle, and his farewell with Lilith things, his heart and mind would never forget, or he would never forgive.
Yes in many ways Abel Nigthroad, was a kind loving person, but even a Saint cannot forgive some things. Yet sadly, he was no Saint as some thought he was. The Crusink turned a dark crackle going around his feet and about his tall body as he turned to face the one person he hoped never to lay eyes on again.
The one that close up did not seem to have changed at all, but Abel knew that was not the case, at closer view he could see how rail and weak this fake body was compared to the one Cain once ad, and the reason Cain truly wished to be rejoined with him. Something he would never allow to happen. Anger sparked through him, the image of a lifeless long red haired beat flashing before his mind, held tight in his brothers grasp. The memory, of Lilith's last moments once more playing along with her sweet words.
Flashback..
''Please Abel...there...just so frail...they can not go on without someone guarding them.''
''Who Lilith? Whom are you talking about?''
''The humans...Abel please...I wont be able to protect them anymore...my body..its dying...please. protect them...''
''Lilith please don't speak that way, you'll be alright You will make through this you always do and well guard them together. Your to strong to die. You can never DIE!''
A strong gentle hand caressed the pale cheek of the young man whom held the withering body of the young bloom watching the life witch seemed to be fading from his love eyes, his own heart dying at the sight.
Beside him weeping hard her small head pressed into her brother's side was Seth, whom could not bare to look at her mother figure not baring to except that this maybe their last meeting together.
''Abel...please...you and I know better...please I need you to stay strong for me...please...take care...of your sister...Seth needs you more then ever now...and the humans...promise me that you both will.. try to bring peace between both races...please...''
Tears poured down soft blue eyes as they looked into her fairing honey hues, choking back his sobs as his hand rested on top hers, hating the frail feeling within those witch at one time had been so strong as he managed a small nod, forcing one of his small smiles .''Of course I will.'' he whispered in a delicate voice, twining with that of sorrow .''You know I will, that's just the way I am love.''
Lilith gave one last smile breathing a soft sigh as her eyes slipped close, ''Thank... you Abel...'' she managed with her last ounce of fading strength.'' For everything. '' Lilith's soft hand went limp within the crusink's grip falling gracefully to the side with a soft thump, leaving Abel to sit their his eyes wide and unbelieving as he gently shook her, calling her name hopefully with no avail before screaming in agony his body collapsing atop of hers as he begin to sob hard.
End Of Flashback.
The hole area carrying the sound of grief coming from both Crusinks into the night, a haunting heart braking sound witch would be carried over and over through the ages in an never ending moment of pain both siblings would come to bare in their heart.
Abel's eyes opened again seeing Cain still standing before him now as he had then, this time his arms empty. The only thing witch he held was the same smile, the one he wore that day, angering the already raging Crusink's blood even more as he launched forward, the hole room shaking with the angry aura that crackled about him destroying everything in its wake as he rushed to his twin brother scythe in hand.
''CAIN!''
He bellowed as his scythe wrapped about his twins head prepared to mop it off when movement from behind caught his attention. Causing red eyes to fly up quickly as they were met by chocked deep sea blue ones. Staring at him wide with horror as the scythe barely touched her as well.
''Esther!'' Abel forced as a shutter ran up his spine, as he watched the fear within the young red haired nuns eyes. Guilt and pain stabbing at his heart. He had done it again, showing her his other side to such innocent eyes.
There was no way he could fight now, not with her eyes lying on his sinful form; hers filled with fear as if he were some sort of monster. He could not do to it. The Crusink lowered his weapon, hesitating as he stared down slightly away from the young nun, not bothering to react as his own twin raced his hand. What ever happened now he deserved it, after all of his sins. After hurting Esther.
He listened to his brother's laugh to his snide remark as he pressed his hand into Abel's chest. ''Sad. You have not changed at all brother, at sight of such a beauty, or a creature of innocent eyes you clam up. I warned you it would one day cost you our life. Guess I was right .Hmmmm?''
Abel's body froze, the pain numbing him as he lost balance falling forward eyes wide in shock as his chin ending up resting upon the shoulder of his twins. His eyes looking into Esther's taking in how wide and shocked they were, filled with fear. And slight grief.
The sudden need to comfort her wavering through him, to say something to ease her fear. Yet only one word was uttered before he collapsed his body and mind giving into the darkness. Her sweet name, a name that came to mean something to him as much if not more then that of his first love Lilith.
''Esther.''
Down Abel's body fell, silver hair flowing behind as if in slow motion, Esther could do nothing but watch as the sense played over and over into her head till the last moment when a loud thud was heard of the Father's body hitting the ground. His dark crimson blood flowing around his lifeless body as it struggled for life.
That's when it snapped in, causing the nun to wail in sudden pain as she collasped on her knees her face folded into her hands as she begin to cry. ''No...Father...no!'' Her words falling on death ears, as he lay not moving a few feet in front of her.
Cain himself watching the pathetic sight, an odd pang coming into his heart he dared not answer as a look of slight regret formed. He simply turned forcing a slight smile as he sighed. ''Aww, what a shame. I have broken it, such a delicate thing indeed.''
Indicating to Esther's sobbing form as he turned preparing to step forward in an odd glow engulfed his body, causing the elder Crusink to stare at his body as it begin to glow, pain passing through him as he screamed.
A hidden weapon reacting in response to the sudden sobs and pain of the young nun, a defensive measure coming up as an odd shield coming over Esther as the ground begin to crumble.
Shook overwhelming her the nun could do nothing but set and stare as the odd weapons power wrapped around Cain whom withered in pain, screaming as the ground broke from underneath him, pulling him slowly into a pit of darkness. As if in last effort to stay alive Cain grabbed hold of Abel's limp foot pulling his brother closer to him .''I...will..I will not die alone! .''He snarled as he pulled more only to have his efforts slowed as another force grabbed from the top, a small delicate hand grabbing hold to Abel's collier. ''No! Father! Hang on!'' Called the women's frantic voice as she pulled her pleading orbs baring into Cain's.'' Please let go! Hell die!''
Cain merely snarled tugging harder, his broken body to weak though to really make any heed way against the true heart strength of the seemingly strong yet fragile looking women above him who clung to Abel as if clinging to her own life.
Anger flaring through him, as he watched her delicate hand loop around Abel's shoulders in effort to keep the Priest with her. He was Cain's brother, a part of him as Lilith was. It was only fair they die together not separate. ''Release him!'' He demanded his eyes barring into hers only to be taken back at the determination in the youth's eyes as she shook her head hugging the lifeless body closer blood staining her white clothing.
Snarling the elder Crusink swung his hand forward long blood red claws ripping into the delicate flesh of the females arm. Listening with pleasure as she screamed in pain smiling as her grip went slack slightly. Only to suddenly look up in surprise as Abel once more sat awake. Eyes glowing red for the last time as a scythe met with Cain's body splitting his one wing in half as he released grip on Abel's foot tumbling into the pit of darkness below.
Followed not far behind by that of Abel and Esther's falling forms. Abel whom was barely awake and still in Crusink form as he held to Esther, dark wings cover her body as to shield it as they tumbled into the vastness of the vortex below...and into certain death if they were ever to reach its end.
--------
Moments later, on sand covered Planet far from that of the Earth they knew lay two broken figures within the heat of the overhanging sun. That of a young women, her eyes shut tight as tears poured forth holding tightly to the form of an injured nearly dead white haired male. His own arms limply draped around her small form, his blood flowing freely around him with some of her own as he awaited death to take him.
Hoping and praying by the mercy of God that someone would at least find Esther, and tend to her. That she would have the kind of life a person like her deserved. As for him his time was done. It was clear to him or so he thought that Cain was dead, everything he had sat out to do was over he could die in peace. He sighed; blue eyes closing as his body went limp slowly closing down to the world outside his mind.
''Fa..th..er...'' Was the last thing he heard, the soft weak voice of a women he had not known he loved till now, not even awake to know what she was doing as she held him tighter causing a small peaceful grin to pass over Abel's lips as he hugged her gently awareness slipping away. ''Its..all...alright Esther...'' He whispered soothingly regret at not being able to protect her longer eating at him as he slipped away from the world of the waking doing his best to comfort her one last time. '' Everything..will be alright...''
