The Taste Of Blood
Chapter 2
Brago sat next to sherry in the hospital. She was in 'intensive care' and if anything went wrong Brago was supposed to pull the rope that hung in the corner of the room.
The girl's breathing was back to normal and she had stopped coughing up blood.
Brago held his purple book in his lap and he sat peacefully watching the human girl breath in and out. It was a stormy day and the lights flickered in their room now and again.
A black haired man walked past Sherry's hospital room. A yellow and black spiked child walked behind him. As they walked by Sherry's room the child pulled on the man trench coat, he stopped and followed the child's gaze.
It drifted off into sherry's room where Brago sat in a chair by the stormy window. The spiked Mamodo grinned and walked boldly into the hospital room, followed by the black haired man.
Brago glanced up at the two and grit his teeth in annoyance. This was all he needed, another fight.
The Black haired man closed and locked the door behind them and they walked further into the room. The spiked Mamodo walked closer to Brago and smirked. "well, well, well. If it isn't the great and fantastic Brago. What did you do to the girl?" it laughed and shot a nasty look at Sherry who lay asleep in the hospital bed.
Brago got up so quickly he knocked his chair down. "NOTHING!" he snapped and then clamped his mouth shut. He had let his rage take over. He stuck his hands coolly into the pockets of his black furred coat and glared at the Mamodo and his partner.
"Oh, ho! Brago's had a bad day!" the spiked Mamodo joked and clapped its hands together.
The man seemed to know this as a signal and pulled out a dark green book. He opened it to the second page, "MAGURA ROVI!" he shrieked and the Mamodo's hands began to glow a dark blue.
Brago grasped his book tight and got ready to defend. I don't need sherry to beat this loser. He thought confidently.
The Mamodo lashed out. He swung his claws at Brago, grazing the side of his cheek, it left a burn mark.
"Hand over your book Brago, I wouldn't want to hurt you!" the spiked Mamodo laughed and grabbed Brago's left arm, singeing it and letting it go.
Brago grimaced in pain but took a swing with his fist. He landed a hard punch on the spiked Mamodo, sending him flying into the white hospital wall.
"MARU DAMEO!" The man bellowed from the corner of the room and the spiked Mamodo got up off the ground and clapped his hands together. As soon as its hands touched one another spikes shot up through the floor from under Brago.
Brago didn't have enough time to react and before he knew it he was trapped in the spikes. They grazed the side of his arms and through his feet and the front of his face. He was trapped, but he had managed to keep his purple book from harm.
The spiked Mamodo laughed and went for his book. Brago could do nothing except throw it out of the way. The book landed on the bed where Sherry was laying, now very much awake but also very weak.
She snatched the book up from beside her and covered it with her body. She cringed in pain from the swift movement and felt something snap from inside her. Damn, I hope that wasn't anything important. She felt blood wash into her mouth and then knew it was.
The black haired man grabbed the girl's shoulders roughly and turned her over.
She gasped in pain and choked on the blood that had been in her mouth. She went to grab the book but the man got to it first.
The man picked up Brago's book and smirked at the girl who was in a world of pain and frustration.
Brago fought off the spiked Mamodo and it hit the ground. He heard something beeping fast, getting faster, and faster. He looked over and saw a machine next to sherry. It was her heart rate! Without thinking once about the book he pulled the rope that was hanging in the corner of the white room. He turned back to the man with his book, to the spiked Mamodo with it's dark blue claws, and to sherry that was dying in the hospital bed, now covered in blood again.
A doctor went to open the door but found it had been locked. More tried to open it while another went to get a key.
The man and the Mamodo both sneered at Brago whose book was about to be burned, and whose partner was quickly dying in the bed.
The doctors weren't getting the key in time and Brago flew at the man with the book. The spiked Mamodo jumped in front of him and burned Brago's neck. The man stood in front of the door, not letting the doctors in.
Brago's book fell to the hospital floor, on fire.
Sherry was continuously spewing up blood in the now stained red bed, the beeping getting only too fast.
The doctors couldn't get in because of the man and the spiked Mamodo.
Brago ran in anger at them both, now beginning to disappear. He lunged at the man but the Mamodo got in front once again, but that didn't matter, he grabbed it by the neck and flung it hard against the wall. There was a loud crack and then nothing from it again.
And when Brago reached the black haired man, his claw went straight through the human's gut and into one of the doctors on the other side of the door…
----------------------------
Sherry felt Brago's hands lift her up. She stared at the demon Mamodo, he was see through now. Her eyes filled with tears as Brago looked grimly up at her.
Sherry didn't care about coughing any more, although her entire body was screaming at her to do just that. The beeping had slowed down and sherry could only stare as Brago was becoming less and less visible.
"Sherry, read a spell and let me aim it at you." He said. Although sherry could only hear a whisper. "QUICK!" He said more urgently, so she did.
Just as the darkness of Brago's eyes were disappearing sherry muttered, out of memorization, "Iron Gravirei." She felt a light tap of something hit her. Then there was nothing but white.
