The Blind Flower

The Blind Flower

Author's note: Thanks to everyone for reviewing!! Love ya all!!

This goes back about two days from Geraldine's last post. It is also in Naquita (Or Samantha as she use to be named) Point of View. This is after the first movie, but before the second. I don't know if I will go into the second movie or not, so just pretend the second one hasn't happened yet.

Disclaimer: Do I really have to tell you people that I don't own Hellboy?? I guess science was right, TV does melt brain cells if you think I own Hellboy… Which I don't …

October 30

I dodge a punch from Adalbald and kick him across the room. He grunts in pain as his back makes contact with the metal wall. He slides down, and from the smell of it, leaves a trail of blood behind. I slide my feet back together slowly, my every move graceful by instinct.

Footsteps approach my door, and a moment later the wooden door slammed open. The smell of cheap perfume and sweat met my sensitive nose, giving me the person's name before they even spoke.

Antje.

I look at the woman as she began to speak, "Master Naquita, you and Miss Geraldine have a job tomorrow night!" The sound of papers cutting through the air reaches my ears, and I quickly grab them.

"Where? " I ask, looking in her general direction.

Amazing, more than a month and they still do not know I am blind!

"It is all in the papers. " Antje replied, trying to hide her agitation. It didn't work.

"I do not have time to read through these papers, Antje. " I spit her name out with hatred and disgust. I literally feel the fear radiating from her and Adalbald. My nose stings from the overpowering smell.

Next when she spoke, her voice came lower to the ground. "Forgive me, Master Naquita, a warehouse outside of New Jersey. Two swords are there, and Master wishes for them. Geraldine waits for you in the training room. "Antje's footsteps hastened to the far left wall, towards my other exit that went to the main hall.

"Adalbald, lead the way to the training room. "

I follow Adalbald's footsteps through the deserted hallways, listening carefully to everything.

Stay alert and you don't die.

I stop for a moment, trying to figure out where that thought came from, but quickly wipe it away when Adalbald's footsteps also stop.

"Did I say stop?! "

We get to the training room quickly and Adalbald leaves after wishing us good luck. I open the door and quickly dodge the knife aimed at my head. Thanking god for my heightened senses, I look at Geraldine.

"We have a job."

And with those 4 words, I started a day of hard training for us both. We trained well into the night, and only ended after sharp vibrations signaled that Geraldine fell to the ground in exhaustion. I left her to herself, going back to my metal room.

If it was not for my memory, I would be lost.

I slept until 20:30 that night, when whispers and vibrations coming from outside my room woke me up. I grabbed a pair of loose leather pants and a long sleeve belly shirt, both of black colouring. (As all my clothes, can't see to know if colours match. Go with black.) My hair pulled into a ponytail, and after grabbing my own sword, I walk out of my metal room. "Master Naquita, you are up earlier than needed!" Geraldine said, pulling me through the many hallways of the hide out.

We arrived at the warehouse without problem, and we even got the swords without trouble. It was when we were leaving the trouble started. I felt heavy vibrations that made my knees shake coming towards us. I stop walking and simply hand the swords to Geraldine.

Without a word, I jumped at the thing making such heavy vibrations. Changing with my instincts, I become a sleek cheetah. I bite and claw at the thing, while something hard and rock like bashed at my back.

A moment later, six gunshots sounded through the air. Next that followed was a gasp of pain and two separate thuds. One was metallic and the other sounding heavier, more muffled by something.

I look towards the sound at my fallen companion. The next thing I know, the stone object digs into my side, and I slam into the nearest wall. My back slides down it slowly, before I fall forward on to the ground, but I don't pay attention to that.

My mind is on two different things. One, I was transforming back. Meaning I had lost the fight, was losing consciousness, and most likely my life. Two, I had heard a splintering above my head, and everything was coming down. I bite my lip as two unseen beams fall across my back.

I slowly pass out after the noise finally stops the normal darkness I always see mixing comfortably with a new, strange darkness.

Hellboy's Point of View

After Warehouse Collapses

I grunt slightly as I push a heap of rotten wood away from the girl. Her hair fell around her in a sort of cover, shining different colours in every position. After nudging her slightly with my right hand, I pick up the unconscious shape-shifter and carry her over the rubble. I pass Myers, who was picking up the two swords we came to get, and thank our luck that no one was seriously hurt.

"Hello, Red, is that the shape shifter you fought?" I look over at Abe, who was slightly limping.

He must've got hit by somethin'.

"Yeah, looks like she's been in more than a few fights, though." Abe looks at the girl, before touching her hand. We both stop as Abe goes through the girl's mind, but quicker than usual, Abe pulls away from her. "Somethin' the matter, Blue?"

"I can't… She seems to have something keeping me from her mind…" Abe walks off, trying to figure out this new problem.

I take the girl outside of the warehouse. Agents pass me, going to help the few people that were injured. I open the garbage truck's back, and carefully jump in, shaking the truck violently. I look around, seeing that everything was occupied with weapons, chicken feathers, or other junk.

"Where to put the little shifter?" I grab a large blanket, double it a few times, and then lay it on the ground in the corner. After wrapping rope around her wrists, I lay her carefully on the blanket. Her hair fell around her in a thick curtain, her arms on her chest, wrists tied together. I look at her for a moment, until Abe opened the back up.

"Is she still unconscious?" I nod, and push a pile of junk from a seat. Sitting down, I keep an eye on the Shape-Shifter as we ride back home.

Wonder what her name is? Will she stay?? My thoughts wonder around the girl, before turning to Liz. She said she needed a break after Moscow. She should have stayed, should have stopped leaving me.

'I need my space, Red. Need time to think over things. You understand, right??' Those were her exact words. She could have just gotten a different room, if she needed space.

B.P.R.D21:19

I gather the girl and blanket up, taking them both with me into the library. "She should be waking up in a while, Red. Let's take her to the doctors and get her checked out, see if anything was broken in the fight." Abe said, walking through the library and to the med lab.

The doctor takes her from me and sets her on the metal table. I watch, noticing that as soon as her back comes in contact with the table, her breathing quickens. "She's having a panic attack! Someone keep her arms down, we need to get her heart rate down!" Doctors swarm around the girl, trying to restrain her.

Abe watches beside me as the girl push the doctors away, injuring a few, while she was still unconscious. A doctor closest to her manages to strap her arms down to the table, as well as her ankles. Doctors swarm around the restricted girl, before they all quickly back away, giving us a clear view of her.

I notice the doctors had removed her shirt, (She has her bra still, people!! Jeez…) and cut her pants into short shorts. I watch as bruise around her stomach and hips slowly get lighter, and her skin stretches as something moves underneath it. The scene gave me the thought of worms crawling.

A doctor walks over to us after a few minutes and tells us, "The girl's injuries have completely healed as you saw…"He turns to walk away, before adding over his shoulder, "oh, and one more thing, she's blind…" The doctor walked over to a nurse, before the words finally sunk in.

"What do ya mean, 'She blind!?' She saw me comin at 'em!!"

"Red, we will have to wait until she wakes up to find out the answer." Abe says, walking out and most likely going to the library. I look at the girl once more, before walking to my room.

Cats'll be hungry…
