Hi everybody! I'm so sorry for not updating! I've been sick for the past few days . Before we get on to the chapter I just want to answer a reviewers question:
thor94: Yes Damien will be the main character throughout the story. You might get a glimpse of Ash later on in the story, but until then Damien will be in control the whole time.
Alright on to the chapter! Enjoy!
…...
" My name is Damien."
The room seemed to get a lot colder as those four words were spoken. Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, and Pikachu shivered. As they gasped they had to cough seconds later. The air was so cold that when they breathed in it felt like little ice shards had gotten stuck in their throat.
" What do you want?!" Serena said coughing once again from the frigid air.
Damien cocked his head and smiled showing off his sharp, jagged, teeth. Then he laughed. A deep throaty laugh making his crimson eyes blaze even more. Then he said one sentence.
" I'd sleep with both eyes open if I were you." He laughed again and phased through the floor.
Everybody breathed a sigh of relief as the room got warmer.
" What are we gonna do?" Bonnie asked clinging onto her bag as she shivered once more.
Clemont hugged his sister and shook his head. Serena looked down before snapping her head back up as she felt Pikachu climb up to her shoulder and watched as his ears twitched. His face slowly morphed into panic as he signaled to everyone to run toward the door. Everyone looked in confusion but did as he said. They closed the door leading to the room behind them. They were about to ask why Pikahcu ushered them out of the door when they heard four loud 'TWACHS" against the wooden door on the opposite side the group had just come out of. Slowly Clemont stepped forward and looked at what caused the noise. Seconds later he stumbled back and fell on the floor face pale, hands shaking. Serena and Bonnie walked forward and looked at what caused Clemont to get that scared. What they saw shocked them. Embedded in the wood stood four knives that the kids used when eating. Those knives had been meant for them.
…...Line Break...
When they had finally got Clemont to calm down, they went upstairs. They were all tense and on guard as they climbed the steps. They had almost reached the top when a loud ' CRACK' resounded throughout the quiet house. Serena and Clemont turned around. Behind them a small hole was in the middle of one of the step. Two little hands clung for dear life as they slowly slipped and the wood creaked and groaned in protest.
" Bonnie!" Clemont said reaching over and grabbing his sister hands. He pulled her up quickly and backed away from the dangerous stair.
" Bonnie are you okay?!" Clemont and Serena said bending down to check for her for injuries.
Bonnie nodded and looked down the hole again. Serena and Clemont joined her making sure she didn't fall again. They looked down the hole but could see nothing but darkness.
" Does anybody have a coin?" Clemont asked.
Serena pulled out a penny and handed it to Clemont. Clemont then dropped it down the hole counting the seconds it took it to fall. Around ten seconds later they heard a faint 'plunk' as the penny hit the floor. All three kids backed away from the stairs as they all realized how close Bonnie came to losing her life. As they walked up the rest of the steps they made sure to check it twice before going up.
They finally reached the top of the stairs and headed into the room they were in no more than an hour ago.
" Lets find something on this Damien so we can figure out a way to help Ash!" Serena exclaimed determination in her sapphire orbs.
Clemont and Bonnie nodded their heads determination adorning their eyes as well. They then split up around the somewhat small room and looked through closets, under beds, etc. An hour had passed and they had found nothing at all.
" Lets move on to the next room guys." Serena said sighing at how they had found nothing. Both blondes nodded and walked toward the door.
Clemont suddenly tripped over his own feet and tumbled to the floor with a loud thud his glasses tumbling away from his face. He groaned but before he could get up, a book fell to the floor a few inches away from him and his glasses and landed on the floor with a loud thud spreading dust everywhere. Everyone sneezed.
" Big Brother your so clumsy!" Bonnie said hands on her hips shaking her head.
Serena walked over toward the book and wiped the dust off of it. Serena then noticed it was actually a photo album. She opened it and heard how the spine creaked in protest as if it hadn't been opened in years. She looked inside and saw a single newspaper clipping that was yellowed with age. She carefully pulled it out and read it by herself tuning out the bickering siblings.
June 28, 1999
Damien Harrison a 12 year old boy was convicted earlier this evening for killing his family. He mercilessly killed his mother Amanda Harrison and his father Daniel Harrison with a butcher knife. His sister Jenny Harrison suffered severe head injuries and a wounded leg. She is currently in critical condition. Harrison was later arrested after being found running toward the local train tracks with blood-soaked clothes. Harrison has been sent to juvenile hall until police can judge a verdict. But when Harrison was to be sent to jail for his crimes police found that he committed suicide in his cell.
It didn't say much after that but it still hit Serena hard. Serena shivered. Then tears sprung in her eyes. ' Ash is possessed by a killer! If he kills us he would never forgive himself.' A tear rolled down her cheek before she wiped it away. ' Were gonna save Ash one way or another!'
" Guys you need to check this out." Serena said handing thee yellowed paper to the siblings.
Clemont took it showing it as well to Bonnie and they quietly read it their facial expressions changing from shock to horror in a matter of seconds. After a few more seconds Clemont slowly put the paper down with shaky hands. Bonnie was no better. She was pale and her hands were shaking but she had a mix of determination and horror in her eyes. A few more seconds of silence passed before they all heard a low, dark chuckle all around them. Their heads snapped up toward the sound before the room got bitterly cold. A figure materialized in front of their eyes.
"Well, Well, Well. I see you meat-bags have figured out my little secret." Damien said smiling and clapping his hands slowly in a mocking way.
" Although I'm quite upset you didn't like my little...gifts." Damien said with a fake-pout look on his face before returning to his usual cruel smirk.
Everyone shivered in fear. " Please Damien what do you want with us? If its because were in your house we'll leave with our friend as well if that's what you want." Serena said pleading.
Damien cocked his head and laughed. Then he said:
" Foolish girl. The moment your idiotic friend of yours broke the vase holding my remains, you and your friend were doomed to be killed by my hand. I miss the rush of killing people. Hearing their tortured screams as they beg for mercy. You just happen to be my next victims. Just a warning: If you don't save your friend by midnight then I will get to keep his pathetic body and kill you in the process."
Damien laughed once again before he stepped forward then appeared in front of Serena startling her. He lifted her chin up and her blue orbs looked into his deep crimson orbs.
" I'll start by killing you first little girly for making me reveal my plans to answer your foolish questions." Damien said smiling. He then laughed and phased through the floor once more taking the freezing cold with him. Serena stood still eyes wide. Then she started to shake.
She shivered again and a tear slipped down her cheek. Clemont came over and hugged her as she cried. She cried for Ash, and she cried for her life.
…...End of Chapter 2...
