Back with another chapter! Man that was quick! I had a day off so of course I took advantage of it ;D Enjoy! Sorry, it's a little shorter than other chapters but I needed a good place to stop and this was it.
"Maybe we should go after her..." Stefano said anxiously. "I'm just worried that those agents are really going to hurt her."He paced the room. " You wee right Wednesday, I just know it."
"So?" Wednesday said, leaning up against a wall. City had ignored her warning, there was nothing she could really do at this point.
"Well then won't mother be in trouble?" Pugsley asked from the floor where he was sitting.
"Yeah, isn't that why we are here? To make sure City is safe?" Stefano asked. The dark haired girl shrugged.
"Well fine, then I'm going to save her. Pugsley, you in?"
"Yeah!" He jumped a little, picking up one of the bombs he had been fiddling with.
"Wednesday, feel free to come along but tell Morticia where we are going." Stefano pulled an antique sword off the wall. "Lets go!" The Addams boys rushed off into the night.
"Agent A?" City gasped. "What are you doing here?" A man with green hair and an eyepatch was standing behind Bridgette. He was muscular and his Transsexual uniform was darker than the other agent's. He didn't look too happy. The girls remained silent as he spoke.
"Oh City...you have failed...you are forgetting about the mission." He scolded her lightly
"I am trying to build a relationship with the boy! If I had stolen him right away then he would be traumatized and would never trust the Queen or any of us!" City defended herself against the superior alien.
"No. You slept with an Earthling. My apprentices told me that you said that 'you could fall in love with him.' No! You know you aren't supposed to be building relationships with these freaks, much less putting your lineage at risk...but of course, you were born with disturbed genetics anyways." Agent A laughed at the child born of incest.
"Stop that! My parents had been loyal to the Queen for their entire lives! They were her most precious generals! So they have an incestuous relationship! It's not like that sort of thing is uncommon!"
"We shouldn't have trusted such a pathetic child. When it came down to it Frank was still murdered by your parents. You will pay the ultimate price for your family's betrayal." He held out another antimatter ray. "Step back ladies. It's time for an execution." He and Danielle prepared their weapons. City was helpless to defend herself against the rays. She had seen as a child what they could do and knew that there was no way she would survive. She knelt down, preparing to take her punishment with dignity. City took in what she was certain would be her last breath...her last sight...her last scent...the scent! She could smell the outside air from the nearby window and wondered if there would be a way that she could escape, however temporarily.
No, there was almost no way she could hope to break through that window without mortally wounding herself. It was only a matter of time before she would be shot to death. She took one look up at Agent A. He was hovering over her like a sort of monster preparing to dig into it's victim's flesh when suddenly her vision light up then go black. However briefly, she could see a dark haired man hovering over her in Agent A's place, his grin made City's heart race. Seconds after, she switched positions with the man only now...Maxine was under her, half ready to die, half chopped up. Bloody images flashed through her mind, overwhelming her to a point where she felt as though she were going to burst when without warning, her eyes opened, growing a dark blue, nearly black that made it look as if her eyes were only black like a sort of animal. They glazed over, not knowing what was going on until she hear voices shout in the distance.
"City!" Both voices were clearly male. "City! Where are you?" The voices came from outside...one of them was Stefano. They broke in the back kitchen door, knocking Erin into the floor. City's gaze shot up at the earthling boys. Pugsley stood behind Stefano, looking almost afraid of the situation. Of course, anybody would be afraid of two antimatter lasers. They could kill you with a shot to...well anywhere really.
"Who are you?" The agents asked in unison.
"Stefano Addams...City! Are you alright?" He asked the alien franticly. All he got was a blank stare in response. He looked at City then at the agents. "What did you do with her?"
"Prepared her for death." Bridgette said calmly. From inside City's mind she felt as though a monster were taking over her very soul. She suddenly bolted up and stole the sword out of Stefano's hand, jumping onto the counter like a wild animal.
"Fire!" Agent A shouted, shooting simultaneously at City. The sword deflected both rays back at their senders. Having been wearing Transsexual armor, they were unharmed though they were knocked to the floor. City rushed out the door with the two boys not far behind. City could feel herself regaining control over her body.
The forest was difficult to travel in without a flashlight, resulting in multiple scrapes and wounds over all three of their bodies. The agents were not far behind the small group, their weapons drawn. "If she wants a fight then that's what we will give her." Agent A looked menacingly at the group in front of him. He carefully drew a dagger then threw it with an expert's aim. The sharp metal flew through the air, headed straight for City's back when out of a hole in a tree; a hand appeared and caught the knife between its thumb and forefinger.
"Thank you Thing!" Pugsley shouted behind him as the hand disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared.
A large fallen tree had blocked their way. The children were trapped. City held out her sword, she began to rub it against a large black rock. She hoped it would sharpen the sword, as she was certain that she would need it.
The four agents finally caught up with the group, surrounding them. City could feel the monster taking over again, slowly creeping into her mind to take it over. She was helpless against it. The monster attacked her body and assumed full control. City threw her sword at an alarming speed, impaling Danielle's head with ease. She pulled her sword out and shouted.
"Who's next?" Erin stepped forward to help her dying sister when City sprinted to her, piercing Erin's side with the sword. She pulled a dagger off Erin's body and threw it like a boomerang at Bridgette, who dodged it the first time...not so much the second. With the three agents taken out it was between Agent A and the frightfully disturbing version of City.
"Well...what's it going to be?" City paced in a circle with Agent A, countering his every move.
"To the death. I am an honorable gentleman, it's only right that I fight to my death. You were trained well; it's not surprising that you were chosen. Where did you learn to fight like that?" Agent A asked coyly, sounding almost honest with his words. City paid him no mind; she sprung at him and sliced at his stomach, causing him to bleed profusely. He fell to the ground. City put one foot on his abdomen with her sword at his throat. She leaned into him slowly.
"I was born this way." City stated simply, an almost demonic tone hiding under the surface. In reality, she wasn't the one in control so hell if she knew. City sliced his throat, ending his life. When the deed was complete she slowly walked over to the Addams' boys who were both in shock over the sheer power that City was able to put forth with minimal effort. She dropped her sword then fell to the floor, all the adrenalin having left her.
"Now what?" Pugsley asked as Stefano picked City up carefully.
"Now I burn the bodies. Stupid City...still as sloppy as ever…" Wednesday appeared from behind the fallen tree trunk. "Pugsley, you stay with me. Stefano, go clean her up at the castle. Tell mother what happened. Thing, stay with me and Pugsley." The hand appeared from the inside of the tree and gave a thumbs up, showing he understood. " Good, let get going."
Stefano carried City home as fast as he could, trying to wake her up the whole time. She was barely breathing, he had wondering how much damage she had actually sustained from the fight. He couldn't tell that inside she was still fighting.
"Leave me alone!" City called into the darkness, wielding the same sword from the fight. She attempted to slash at what appeared to be a large shadow but it didn't so much as flinch to any attack. She landed one solid hit and the shadow made a whimpering noise like a child. It was confusing to City. "Are you alright?" She called to it.
"No! Thanks a lot for that!" The shadow shifted into another form, it became small and imp-like but it's face was still blank as the white atmosphere around her.
"Sorry! I got scared! What are you?" City asked, looking around. " Where am I?"
"We are in your mind! For now, just call me Mini. I helped you kill those mean agents!" It cocked it's head to the side as if it were smiling.
"That was you?"
"Sort of…just wait a little. Be good to Chris and I'll help you out if you need it again."
"Thank you…but how do I get out of here?"
"Oh! That's easy, come with me!" Mini took her hand and led her into the white blur of her mind.
Stefano carried City up to her bathroom, now noticing that she was rather scuffed up from the fight. Blood splatters were covering her body. He tried to sit her down in the tub but she slumped over, there was no way that she could hold her own body up in a filled bathtub. He surmised that if she were going to be cleaned up, he would need to be in the bathtub with her. He rationalized that since they had already slept together, it wouldn't hurt if they showered together.
He carefully took her clothes off, laying them in the sink to soak clean of the bloodstains. He then removed his own clothes, careful to mind his own cuts and scrapes. He climbed in the shower with City in his arms and turned the water on, turning his back to it until it warmed up. He was still apprehensive but knew this was almost necessary at this point. As he scrubbed her body free of the other agent's blood he noticed a large scar going across from one end of her hip to the next. He wondered absentmindedly how it could have gotten there but chose to ignore it. He would ask her another time, perhaps when she was conscious.
After a while, he stood up and wrapped City's arms around his neck so he could scrub her back. He suddenly felt her muscles move. City firmed her arms around his neck and kissed his nose.
"Thank you Stefano…" She said quietly. She felt like for the first time, she was totally in control. She felt happy. The mission was hers to control and hers alone. She decided to hold it off a little while, simply because at that moment, she couldn't picture being anywhere else but in Stefano's arms. It would be a year before the mission moved any further.
Short, sweet and to the point! Who is Mini? And where the hell did she learn to fight like that? Be prepared for a timeskip so look out for chapter 8 coming at you soon! R&R please!
