Okay I just went through my first three chapters and noticed I have a lot of typos and missing words. I'm going to try to do less of that in the future, so I apologize. I also laughed at my own work lol. Anyway reviewee number 2 you have made me also happy, I thought this story was going to be afluke but I'm starting to get people to like it, which makes me all warm and fuzzy. I'm going to try to update asap. I hate that too, when an author writes something and leaves there for like a week unfinished, but were all busy I guess. I make vow to you that I will never insert an authors note, those are just annoying unless my computer dies which will really piss me off. I also promise to keep writing this even if I don't get a 100 reviews per chapter, I think that's just greedy and stupid, I hate that too when I'm reading other stories. Sorry, but its true. You may have notice I liked to torture my characters, will I think that's what makes a story interesting, which is one reason twilight could be better, not a lot pain or nothing. Could ideas though, now your probably thinking shut up ren and begin with the story, I like to say… here we go
After awhile I think a fell asleep, because when I woke up Iggy was gone. I bolted straight up bonking my head on the ceiling of the cage. I really need to stop doing that or I need a bigger, bigger cage.
No, No, no I kept chanting my head. I was so stupid to get a few measly minutes of shut eye and I lost him. Tears began to pool over; I looked around frantically, no Iggy. My breaths became faster and deeper, hyperventilating I was all alone in this cage, by myself and that's not good. Word to the wise; never be in a cage by yourself, your chances at survival are slim. That's when I noticed the mirrors, around me were shiny, and mirrors reflecting my image. I looked horrible, covered from neck to my shirt which was in shreds were purple, maybe black bruises. I really looked bad. My hair was in disarray, my dark-brown hair were mere shags extending just a few inches down my shoulders. I really needed a comb bad. My pale skin was shiny and thin, come to think if it they haven't really fed us. Probably been shot up with vitamins and nutrition. My dark black wings were also shaggy like my hair, ruffled a little and dirty. I shrugged, what's to be expected when in you here.
I don't like mirrors, it reveals things I don't want to see, horrible things locked away deep inside me. Staring at the big mirror in front of me I begin hypnotized by it, and I'm unable to move. She's caught me, trapped inside her mirror and the girl staring back at me grins, a wicked, devilish grin. I get a full view of her canines her tongue laps out and licks her canines. "Long time no see, Serenity". I remain silent. "ignorant aren't you" she laughs and holds a hand to her face as if she covering her laugh up, "it's just so easy" her tone went hard, like a stone. Her voice changes it was all husky and canine-like. "lets dance shall we"? She asks me. She stands up with her palm held out to me. Like I said, I'm trapped. She frowns, "you don't want to dance"? She puts fingers to her chin, as if she's pondering for minutes, her voice gets all sweet again, "okay about we make our flames dance, they can twist and turn and spiral all over, then…we can go out with bang". Her voice back to it's hard like tone. She shakes her head, baffled, "your so blind, like Iggy". That brings me back, I can move his name breaks the hold on me. She frowns as she realizes that I'm no longer bewitched by her, "Where is he"? I demand. "Tsk, Tsk, now what makes you think I've done anything to him, we would do something to him not just me". I stare at her for moment then look around once more for Iggy, "Where is he"? I repeat myself. "You really are that dense, aren't you" she cocks her head to the side, this is truly a serious question. When I don't say anything she just sighs, holding her palm out to me again, "it's just so easy sweetheart, let the flames dance" she whispers, "…and be free and just as wild as the flames you command, be just deadly as the lightning you summon before, be-"
"Stop"! She is silent, "that's not what I want".
"Oh, and what do you want. Well, I understand that blond fellow, he has very nice shape to him" she says in awe.
I mutter whatever, and she's repeats to me it can be so easy, just give in, but to what?
She looks at me with a glance full of frustration and ice, "to me you fool, the gift you hold is just a fraction of what you really can do, and you wouldn't even be here if you just let me. We can help each other; I don't know why you refuse me".
"Because you're evil"
"Am I? And what's so the difference between us".
"You're a killer" I spat.
"Ah, but so are you darling". I say nothing to this; she speaks the truths, "well, do you give in"?
"Never" Her eyes darken, they become as cold as black coal. "Soon Serenity it's only a matter of time before you succumb to me. Let me show you something, a nice look into your, our future".
Its dark, everywhere there no stars, moon, I don't think there's even any sky. All around me is just a black veil of darkness. Then, in the distance there is light, no not a light; flames. A streak of wildfire rushes through the darkness igniting the world around me. Before me is Iggy, is chest open yes his organs have been torn out of him. His heart gone, as far as I can tell, I almost gag, bile rising in the back of my throat. "That's what you'll do to him, you'll tear out his heart". She whispers to me. I let my eyes travel from his chest to his face.
Oh, god
His eyes are there torn out, blood fills the dark eyes sockets and drip down his face. "He'll be blinded by you, he'll spill blood because of you, and then you will betray him and rip his heart out".
"No" I disagree, "you'll do that do him, but I'll stop you I'll kill you if I have to".
"But, then you would be killing yourself, dear serenity"
"If that's what it takes" I whisper.
I'm back surrounded by mirrors and her looking back at me with dark hostile eyes. Her nose elongates to a muzzle, her pointed ears sprout from her hair, as her human ears dissipate under hair.
Bones and muscles begin to crack and her true form takes shape, a beast the size of a horse, with deadly muscles, but even more lethal fangs. "I'll kill you then make him my own, I just love new chew toys".
My other half just barks an elegant laugh, "we are one in the same, you are me and I'm you Eraser Serenity, and well you're the freak serenity, some day I'll be free from you and I'll enjoy watching you suffer." I roll my eyes, she just loves to brag about herself, however day by day I can feel her growing stronger and more lethal, can't cage dog forever nor a bird.
She begins to slip away from mind and I'm at peace. Long ago I was injected with something and thus made me have Eraser-like qualities; senses, instinct, predator-skill, tracking and what not. But, Erasers…are designed for one thing; to kill.
I was design to kill and I have a feeling I was design to kill Iggy and maybe his friends, but I'll tear my own veins and arteries out before that happens. I just hope I don't tear out his heart.
The mirrors began to fade, as black-grey smoke began to rise from them. Can she create illusions? She's is definitely getting stronger.
My thoughts were interrupted when a door was open from across the room, its bang sound echoing through the room.
An Eraser, was dragging a body across the steel floor, it undid the lock of a cage, different from mine and practically threw body in it.
The Eraser then left the room, slamming the door once again. Turning my head towards the body across from mine, my ears begin to buzz and everything seems so far away. It just darkness all around, only me and the body are here along. The chest of is practically shredded the specimen must of bleed to death, no doubt. It was lying on its back with one arm stuck underneath it, and the other draped across his stomach. Its chest wasn't moving, but I could just make out the faint bruises plastered all over its face and chest. It' leg was bent in a wrong angle, the other laid straight, but looks are deceiving his other leg, his upper thigh is bleeding through his blue jean pants and no breath or movement. I brought my eyes finally to his face, and gasped.
Iggy, he was in bad shape. He had blood matted in his hair running down his neck to his bare shoulder, as his shirt hung from it. I called out his name in a weak effort, and then I tried again more loudly this time I couldn't see in signs of life whatsoever. I moved closer to him, extending my hand, I was only able to reach is head. I petted it, and tried to smooth it over; as I pulled my hand away blood covered it. I looked at in shock.
I killed him, slept for a few minutes, hours whatever and I left him to fend for himself.
"I told you would kill him" I gritted my teeth, she was getting stronger, she was able to speak to me without the mirror now.
She made a laughing sound, why defy who are its so much easier if just give in to me, be free from this pain and take what is yours?.
I refused to listen to word she said, I shook my head violently and muttered, "shut up".
"I could help him, you know. Hmm, I could lend you some my power, give you taste of what you could be. Just sample if you will".
I'm not giving anything to you, anything you offer will just be an inch closer for taking control over me more easily.
"But, what if it helps him. Besides I do not want him do die either, he's such a fine prize to give up. We both have….destructive qualities" she debated my reasoning.
I thought about it for minute, using my Eraser instincts to detect any lies to her statement there we none. I let out a long, heavy breathe and agreed to her. But this is the only one moment, one time I ask for help, got it Chaos".
"Oh you gave me a name. hmm Chaos, such an deadly ring to it. Ahh, Serenity you won't regret this you' feel so alive"
She gave very basic instructions of what to do, grasps the bars and DON'T LET GO, till I tell you to". I did so, gripping the bar firmly, then electricity, fire, lightning, lava course through out my body, an excruciating pain shot through me. I yelled out in pure anguish, as lightning sparks were dancing around my arms creating jagged marks as blood began to ooze from them. My back arching in pain, my head thrown back from the pure anguish that was coursing through me. Blood cascaded down my arms dripping down to the floor. I grounded my teeth together to prevent me from screaming. Here we go Serenity. Then, the pain began the ease as the lightning seeped through my open wounds and become one with my own power. The shocks lessened and then stopped all together. The bars from cage were melted off, I collapsed to the ground, panting trying to get my strength back.
Iggy, Chaos reminded me quickly.
I struggled just to get to me knees, using one elbow after another I crawled over to Iggy's cage.
He still remained motionless even though I was closer to him, Again Chaos demanded to me. Again? I had to repeat this tortures pain again? The excruciating bolts of pain flashing through my body, something I don't want endure twice. It well be different from before, the lightning you absorbed will negate the electrical shock given off from the cage. I sighed with relief, thank god.
I curled my fingers around the bars again, bracing for the pain to come, but it didn't. The bars melted before my eyes, and dripped to the ground. I quickly scooted closer to Iggy, turning his head to the side, so that he was looking directly at me. And he was looking directly at me; his eyes were staring up at me, staring at nothing, glazed over. Oh, god they killed him, I ran my fingers over his neck, checking for a pulse their was none, I brought his face towards mine listening for any signs of breathing,
None.
Tears pooled over my eyes, I was too late and too careless once again.
Fool, I said we could help him. Now cut your wrist.
I don't think so. That was the last straw; I'm not doing something that drastic.
You said you would help him
How-
Your blood has….healing qualities. Why do think your wounds have healed so quickly, look at your self
I did and shock took place, my wounds were mere scars now, however the ones on my arms were still there. My sickness, I didn't feel nauseated anymore. I ran my tongues instinctively over my teeth; an d felt a sharp sting as a coppery flavor enter my mouth. I cut my tongue on….fangs?
Those should be strong enough to tear through flesh.
What's happening?
Hmph, your changing honey becoming more like your true self and when that happens, Iggy and you will be mine.
I went for my wrist piercing flesh, cutting into muscle maybe, no I'll die first. The pain is making her fade away, just a distant whisper in my mind. She murmurs good, then whispers apply it to his mouth. I did as she said, then she faded all together.
My wrist stung, but it didn't matter if what she said was true then Iggy would be saved. I propped his head onto my lap, tilted his head back, and open his mouth with my fingers. My wrist hovered over his mouth for few seconds before a few droplets free-fall into his mouth.
No movement
I practically stuck my wrist into his mouth and waited.
Absolutely nothing
No movement
No sudden intake of breath
No spasm of his body coming back.
He was gone
Lost
And it was my fault
I've failed another loved one once again, because of my own selfishness I'm so stu-
Wetness glided over my wrist lapping up my flood, and then gurgle noise interrupted from Iggy's throat. I rubbed his neck to get him to swallow it and I felt him take it in. His eye fluttered and bore into my mine. He weakly lifted his hand, to remove wrist from his mouth.
"What was that? It was deliciously, tasted sweet, spicy" I just stared at him, my blood must taste different to him? Well, I was different. But, before I could answer him, the door swings open and several Erasers come in dragging me away from Iggy's cage.
"I knew it had other abilities" a white coat says.
I'm placed on the restraint table, again restrained. I struggle in my restraints, pulling and yanking away. Now what to they want, I mean really what to they want.
I whitecoat rolls his chair in front me, clicks an over head lamp on that shines brightly on my face, the rest of the room is dark.
"So you do heal others"?
I remained silent, and that's how it was for me throughout this entire interrogation.
"Your blood has heal-like qualities"?
"You're experiencing some changes throughout your body, do you know what they are"?
He lets out a frustrated sigh.
"Not going talk are you"?
"You can control all the forms of fire; from a light ember to deadly lightning bolt, even lava pools, cinders maybe even"?
"Your very important specimen, Serenity do you know that"? Well they use my real name, finally and didn't they already know that.
"Would like this stop Serenity, the pain, the tests, the cages. It all could, if you just would cooperate with us"? They sound like Chaos.
I finally speak
"I don' think so"
"Why must you be so difficult? First, we weaken you enough to kill your own brother, then set that boy after you to persuaded you enough to join us, then made him betray you so it would be easier to control you. But no your just so damn stubborn". I stared at him in mock astonishment; he did what, my brother who I killed was because they weaken me enough so I couldn't control my chaotic self. Then, to comfort me, to bring me peace the sick some hot, guy on me, and yes, I did fall for him, passionately I thought we could be….I thought he was the one but he betrayed me long ago and brought me here a long time ago. To be tested on again and again because I was so 'special'. Tears however did not pool over, anger washed through me, flames radiated over my body engulfing the restraints that bind me. Those mother-.
I started thrashing around in my restraints extending my wings anything to get out of here.
"Erasers"! one came in and dug his claw into my sides, my flames were dowsed to a glow. I was going to kill them all. Did I just think that?
"Even now, you simply refuse, you've shown us your potential so we've learned everything we could about you, though more testing well be needed if necessary". He looked at me with knowledge in his eyes. "You even cut yourself; your wrist is proof of that". He pointed to it, my recent attempt to heal Iggy. I wonder if he's even all right.
"Well Serenity do you still refuse"
"Yes" I say as defiantly as I can.
"I'm sorry it had to come this".
A glint of metal catches my eye and I see long metal objects come my way, knifes, saws, maybe axes. The white coat cuts away at my shirt. Leaving me exposed to their hungry eyes, wearing nothing but a bra. My restraints loosen just a little as more Erasers come in forcing my black wing to extend and unfurl. I begin to thrash desperately now, I know what is going happen, it's nothing compared to a Eraser beating or the electric shock I got, this is worst, this is like taking my heart, stabbing, and putting it back in and let it bleed inside my chest. More Erasers pin any limb that is not bounded down. The white coat says, "You don't need them anyway".
Then, the cutting begins. I feel tendons, muscles and bones be sliced through as he cuts deeper into the marrow of my bones. I scream and cry out in agony, sweat spills over my entire body, my body arches as my head hits the back of the table. My back erupts into a burst of flames, then air wooshes past my shoulder blades, a weight is lifted off me, and then I hear it.
That deafening thud.
The final sound of freedom, of pure bliss
The last bit of happiness I have is gone.
Forever.
I start to hyperventilate as my chest rapidly rises and falls rapidly, I screech in pain again, grounding my teeth as the scream escapes through them.
I feel my other wing fall off, as the whole wave of fire washes over me once again. I let my self fall back to the table exhausted, tired.
I no longer care about anything. Anymore.
They took everything away,
Friends
Family
My wings
No I have nothing left,
Nothing
I'm as good as dead
A life with only pain, maybe it is easy to just give in like Chaos said. How many beatings can one heart take again and again.
Where's my angel now, to take me away from all this misery and pain. Where's-
Iggy.
I feel life shot through me again, and the white coat asks the same question again, Do you refuse?
An Eraser yanks my head up, taking a wad of my hair and bringing my head up, exposing my throat to him. My whole body shudders and shivers, "No" I spit.
The white coat stands up immediately, slam his fist down, and strike me hard across in the face, "What's wrong with you, what's left to hold on to, no friends, family, you've been stripped of everything you have nothing now, not even your wings. What could you be possibly be holding onto?"
I just stare at him, as heaviness descends on my swollen eye. His punch I didn't even feel it, Must be going numb, slipping.
"Hope" I whisper.
"Hope of what" he spats
"Of happiness, to be loved, if I just give up then I'm already dead. I've got to try" I mutter then I slip into unconsciousness.
I was on my stomach this time; I was turned haphazardly as my arms were in different directions. I was unrestrained, but tubes were hooked up to me pumping me, with fluids preventing me from moving and have any coherent thoughts are lost. I flinch in time I feel the fluid shoot up into my body. Memories of a brother fade in and out, a boy with strawberry blond hair flashes through my mind. I know him; the name is just at the tip of my tongue,
These fluids are making me forget who am, erasing everything about me, emotions, thoughts, judgments. Everything that is me so I' am theirs.
My back must be stitched up as goose bumps rise on my arm; I shiver still topless with just a bra. My back feels raw and stings from the poor job done by them.
I'm roughly pulled away from the table, I just let them. I give no resistance, just hang limp. I recall something about numbness.
Giving up
Having nothing left
Just nothing.
I ended up back into cage; I just sat there and fell back to the cold floor. I didn't care about the pain that shot up my back, just let flow. My eyes were lidded, my arms out wide giving myself up for nothing.
"Serenity"?
Someone was calling me but I didn't care, sometime during the dragging someone put another t-shirt over me even though the blood soaked through it.
"Serenity, it's me Iggy. Serenity?"
I turn my head to look at the voice who is calling me. Iggy?
"what happen, I smell…blood? What did they do"?
I just stare at him, why should he care, why should any one care.
"Serenity, why won't you say anything". I just continue to stare at him, he is on his back like me right where I left him, while I was…helping him?
Flashes of memories of me, bringing my wrist to his mouth, getting shocked by the cages bolts. Iggy, I sigh relieved that he is okay.
Suddenly, an explosion goes off from above and two kids like me slightly younger than me, fly in with wings on there back. Like me they also have wings, well I used to. That thought just brought more pain, my wings are gone, my happiness shot.
Three others follow them, and a dog? This doesn't faze me, I remain weak, numb in my cage, however Iggy begins to stand a smile breaking across his face. A younger boy, comes in contact with his cage, he also has blond eye, blue eyes, "Gazzy, you came" Iggy said.
"Of course", the boy called Gazzy said. He undid the lock, while another darker-haired male came to help Iggy out, he had olive toned skin and said, "can you stand"?
Sirens go off, piercing my eardrums but to me it goes on unheard of as I try to make since of the scene before me. "My legs there stiff and numb-"
Without even saying anything, the dark haired boy, drapes the boys arm over shoulders and extends dark wings to take flight.
"Uh, Max it's time to go there coming, fast" I turn my eyes to a girl with blond curls, about six years of age. The girl Max I assume looks at Angel and nods, "Alright everyone U and A now, Fang can you carry Iggy by yourself"?
The dark haired boy, Fang nods then the last girl with a dark complexion, hair, rants, "Oh, Iggy we were so worried, you really took a beating didn't you, but you'll be okay now, it wasn't the flock with out you…"
Her words began to die away as the ascended higher and higher into the sky, the boy called Iggy looked back at me in shame, then I saw his eyes begin to flutter close and he blacked out.
I continue to stare them as they faded away farther into the distance, white coast and Erasers burst looking at the same place they disappeared to.
I felt so alone, abandoned again; never again well I do this again. Believe, trust, have faith they just happened to come back at you in the end.
Both the white coats and Erasers turned their attention, on me staring at my still form, blinking at them in confusion.
The one from before steps foreword, "you had something do to with this didn't you, you launch one of your lightning strikes"?
I close my eyes, let myself go limp.
"Take it away, move it to different area, and fix the whole"
After, that I drift into a black wave of darkness filled with pain, misery, and despair.
Okay this took me forever, it's now 12:30 am and I just couldn't find a place to stop and fit all I want into it.
I hope this made since to people; Serenity is like forgetting Iggy, then remembering him likewise with her deciding to give up or fight on. I hope its okay, I'll update ASAP, and right now I just want to sleep.
Thanks again my two fans, by the way I do like more review if possible, but whatever do it's a free country it's just motivates me that's all.
Thanks again.
