Chp 6
Author's note:
For you guys who have read "Cody" and "Journey to the Himalayas", you know that now is the time the story gets tragic and everyone dies. Even though they are all dead. (It just occurred to me that I've already killed them all…) Anyway, this story is just kind of explaining how the Golden Child comes along, the next and last sequel will be better. I hope. KEEP REVIEWING!
"NO! Sc rew you, you bit ch!" Carey cursed as she clung to the cage door of the dungeon.
She was locked in a cage, or rather, a sort of torture chamber.
The bars where at the top of the cage, and Carey was hanging on to it, dangling in the middle of the cage.
Carey hung on to the bar, and winced as she realized that the bars were covered with nettles and sharp thorns.
She didn't let go, because at the bottom of the cage, was much bigger and horrible spears sticking out from the floor.
If she let go, she will die, and most important of all, her child will die too.
She cannot die.
She just held on, and smashed herself repeatedly against the thorns, her hands were covered with blood and so was her body.
She smashed for hours and hours, until her eyes were blinded by blood and she was barely recognizable.
Carey finally fainted, but she was still hanging on to her cage.
Her hours of smashing against the cage door had done some good after all.
The thorns and nails had pieced right through the splintered bones of her fingers, and she was hanging because of it.
Carey Martin really was not any average woman.
That was why God chose her to borne the Golden Child.
At the entrance of the dungeon:
Chiyo panted as she tried to get inside the torture chamber, Carey was inside, and Carey needed her help.
The guards were gathering, and Chiyo flung out her wings, clenching her fists as she got ready to fight.
She knew the guards would not attack her unless she attacked first.
Well, she never picked fights, but this time she would.
Chiyo was a master of kung fu (A'N- I mentioned a bit of it in the first sequel "Cody")
She was a descendant of the Empress Wu Zhe Tian and had learnt the lost arts of the Phoenix Move.
She spread out her arms, and formed her hands into the lethal Phoenix Claw.
Chiyo leapt at the guards, going straight into action.
At once they formed a circle around her, and she lashed out at the first of them.
One swipe of the Phoenix Claw down the guard's belly, and at once his guts spilled out.
Chiyo snatched his stick and summoned strength from her ancestors.
She let out her qi, and at once the stick caught on fire.
She turned and waved, around the circle, killing them all before they even realized what was happening.
As she went around the circle, flames dropped down from the spear, and at last, the circle of guards were dead.
There was a circle of fire, fueling on blood around her.
And there was just one more guard, left outside the circle, left.
She decided to use the Phoenix Claw one more time.
Chiyo leapt out of the circle of fire, straight at the guard.
To her surprise, the guard had even faster reflects, and managed to grab her wrist, stopping her from her move.
No one could stop the Phoenix Claw, unless – Chiyo's eyes widened with shock as she saw the mark on the guard's wrist.
The mark of the Ming Dragon.
She had been careless, and now she will regret it.
Sure enough, the guard twisted her wrist and sent her own Phoenix Claw straight at her eyes.
Chiyo fell to the ground, blind, knowing that she deserved it.
The guard did not give her the Death Blow.
That was even worse, he was mocking at her.
Mocking at her that she was so close to Carey and could not reach her.
She was so close but could never reach anything.
At the Icepool:
Cody walked to the edge of the Icepool once more.
"I want make a deal." This was allowed, by exchanging one's soul.
The unimaginable sacrifice.
"There can be a deal. The sacrifice, please." The Icepool answered.
"I exchange my sou—"
"NO!"
Cody gasped as Zack came running out of nowhere, and pushed him out of the way, blocking in front of him, protecting him.
"Mother needs my help, Zack."
" I know." Zack then turned to the lake.
"Take my soul instead."
"What? Zack, what the—"
"This is for abusing you when we were alive."
"I've already forgiven you, and you've died for me once!"
Cody cried out, trying to get in front of Zack.
"I haven't forgiven myself."
"When can you ever forgive yourself?!"
"Never. But I'll feel better after this, but I'll never forgive myself."
Cody felt himself crying, yet again.
"Come on, Cody. Let me go. You know that I won't ever let your soul be taken."
Cody fell back into the water, and felt tears disturbing the water's surface.
He gathered himself, and forced himself--- into nodding.
Zack nodded too, and turned to the lake. "The exchange is my soul."
"Very well." The lake replied, and Zack picked Cody out of the water, hugged him one last time.
Cody tried to hug him back, but Zack was already gone, and he grabbed at empty air.
His twin, was truly gone forever.
Cody felt the world shatter around him, unimaginable pain piercing his heart.
He flung his head back, and let out a chilling scream, so pain stricken, so sharp and chilling it spread across the world, letting out all his suffering, all his pain.
As if in reply, the world echoed his scream back to him.
Cody sat there, water dripping from his golden hair, until the lake reminded him.
"The first part of your deal, please."
( A'N: After the soul is sacrisficed, there are two parts of the deal. The first part, the person gets to choose where h wants to go, and a reasonable amount of time he needs. The second part is that they get another choice whether they want to be reincarnated or to stay or to go on."
"I want to go to the entrance of the dungeon, in the Circle."
"The time?" The lake asked.
"5 hours."
"Very well."
Cody whispered, " I coming, mom, I'm coming. Hold on," as the lake dragged him back to Earth, back to hell.
In the dungeon:
Carey came back to reality with a horrible pain.
She looked up, and felt sick by the sight that greeted her.
Her finger bones had failed to hold on, and had broken on.
It was a bloody mess, and she can just make out, that she was dangling by a few blood vessels.
Hold on. A few veins just snapped.
Make that one blood vessel.
Right now, Zack was gone, Chiyo was blinded, and the world's fate was hanging by a blood vessel.
