Author's Note:
WordNerb93 I'm bringing the theme song back!
Demons surrounding
Chaos abounding
Hear the demon's howl
Hell's creatures on the prowl
Twisted hearts and evil souls
Come with us and take control
Tonight, blood shall spill
All around us, the graves shall fill
Hear the demon's howl
Hell's creatures on the prowl
Twisted hearts and evil souls
Come with us and take control
The moon is high
Bloody stars fill the sky
Hell's gates will fall apart
Tonight we fight and we shall say
"DHA, tonight we slay!"
Hear the demon's howl
Hell's creatures on the prowl
Twisted hearts and evil souls
Come with us and take control
YAY! It returns!
Read on!
Ember effectively dodges the stinger of a Scorpus, even though the frightening demons fast, she's faster, and smaller. The young Hell Hound scrambles swiftly to the side her eyes locking on the one exposed part of their body, an open portion of its back, the only place free of its dark armor.
She darts forward strong legs carrying her swiftly up to the demon's side, she jumps at the last second barely missing the sharp tip of a pincer, her teeth sink into the soft exposed flesh of the Scorpus, she begins to wildly through her head from side to side, ripping the exposed flesh to pieces and thus paralyzing the Scorpus.
Usually you'd have to leave the weapon lodged in its flesh but the heated bite of a Hell Hound is enough to leave them paralyzed, the pup shakes her head disgusted at the bitter acidic taste lingering on her tongue, oblivious to the demon slinking towards her.
The creature is about 4.5 feet long and 2 feet from front paw to shoulder, its body is covered in thick brown fur and the head looks like that of a wild lynx, the feet are like those of a dog with long claws used to dig into its prey, two long fangs hang over its bottom lip like an overbite, a long cat like tail swishes back and forth behind it, eyes narrowed as its tongue runs over its fangs coating them in saliva.
Ember's ear twitches and she whips around ruby red eyes widening as the Vampiromorph smashes into her, pinning the poor pup beneath it hissing in her face as she whimpers and squirms trying to wiggle free.
"Let me go!" Ember barks sinking her small pointed teeth into the Vampiromorph's leg, the cat like creature hisses ears flying back against its head it draws back its paw and slices her cheek open, her blood splatters onto the cobblestone beneath her, her skin stinging in response to the deep wound.
The Vampiromorph greedily laps at its blood stained claws, drinking up her hot blood, Ember whimpers watching as its eyes grow hazy and in a blur of dark fur its jaws fly towards her.
Only it doesn't make contact, suddenly the heavy weight pinning her against the floor is gone and a familiar scent reaches the young hound's nose, Grendel.
The Chupacarbra is currently in a wrestling match with the Vampiromorph, winning easily due to his human like hands and his height, the two demon blood suckers struggle against the other trying to gain over the other.
Ember shakily stands shocked at the turn of events, Grendel is swift and grasps the Vampiromorph's neck, with a quick jerk of his hands the Vampiromorph lays still in his hold ;eyes open even in death.
The Chupacarbra sighs heavily and looks to Ember glowing violet eyes a little unsettling, especially with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth where he and bitten into the Vampiromorph.
"Are you ok?" Ember jumps in alarm, looking up at him with wide eyes, "Uh yeah, what about you?" she questions eyeing the other demon curiously.
"I'm fine, where's Brittany, I could've sworn Dave said she'd be with you,"
"Oh yeah, she's off finding Alvin, are the others with you?" Ember asks trotting past the many corpses of the guards, "No, Dave didn't want to risk any more of the kids getting hurt,"
"Oh ok,"
He stares at her unmoving in shock, almost as soon as it had happened his rage subsides, replaced by horror.
"WHAT THE HECK!" she flinches at the volume of his voice, she hits the floor with a soft 'thump' and gasps for air happily taking it in and ignoring her sore lungs.
"WHY'D YOU DO THAT FOR!" his knees hit the floor as he scrambles to get a good grip on the slick blood coated hilt of a small knife, buried deep to the hilt drawing a decent amount of blood and making it difficult to dislodge the weapon.
"It was the only thing I could think of, do you remember?" her voice is soft, frightened almost, as if he'd slap her for speaking.
He hesitates and looks up trying to meet her eyes but only seeing her head bowed her auburn furred fringe hiding her electric blue eyes from him, he scowls at this and sighs, "I remember, I-I don't know how or why, but yeah I remember,"
Brittany snorts a soft laugh, "Good, can we leave before that woman shows up?" she asks hopefully, staring down at her paws folded in her lap and trying to ignore the pain in her chest and throat.
"After I get this damned knife out, you lodged it in there deep, did you really have to stab yourself for me to remember?" the munk asks eyebrows furrowed as the knife begins to slip out of the Chipette's shoulder making her twitch in discomfort.
"At the moment," Brittany laughs without humor as the knife comes out in Alvin's paw, the munk tosses the blood soaked weapon away and notices she still won't look at him, "Brittany, Britt," he grasps her uninjured shoulder.
"NO!" he jerks back as she scrambles back cowering against the wall her body trembling as her paws fly up to clutch her head, "Please, I didn't mean it ok? J-just don't touch me, don't," her voice cracks and his heart stops, his ears falling back golden eyes showing his hurt, his guilt at the pain and fear weaved deep within her voice.
"Britt…." He reaches out slowly, Brittany's only response is to try and bury herself against the wall, like if she tried hard enough she'd melt into it, he gently rests a paw on her injured shoulder, when she doesn't respond he wraps his arm fully around her and before she could react, draws her flush up against his chest holding her firmly in place with both of his arms wrapped around her.
His fingers work through her fur, his cheek resting against the top of her head as he holds the delicate Chipette close, listening to her small quiet sobs as her paws knot themselves into his hoody, her face buried in his neck.
He exhales softly, before he starts to sing.
Tomorrow morning if you wake
Up and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here
I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the one who gave you to me
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here
"I'm so sorry Brittany, I'm sorry," he squeezes his eyes shut tightly, reaching out with his soul he allows soothing wavelengths to gently surround her soul, trying to remove the pain and fear he had caused, trying to heal her.
"I know," she whispers, the hurt and terror long gone, her eyes dry and peering up at his face with understanding, "You couldn't help it, you didn't remember," she says simply.
Alvin's jaw tightens and he shakes his head pulling back to stare at her, "That's still no excuse, I should never hurt you, NEVER, even if it was to save my own life, I'd never hurt you and I shouldn't have in the first place, don't you see that?"
He stares intently at her searching her startled electric blue eyes, the Chipette taking in his words, now it's his turn to be shocked as Brittany begins to laugh, her body shaking with laughter as Alvin just gapes at her in pure shock.
"S-sorry, it's just, your so CUTE," Alvin blinks mouth hanging open unable to respond, his cheeks heating up, he clamps his mouth shut and turns away frowning, "Whatever, d-don't you see though? I shouldn't have done that,"
Brittany rolls her eyes; the trauma seems to have been wiped clean from her mind and body as she scoffs at him: "Doesn't everyone make mistakes? I'll always forgive you stupid; you proved well enough that you didn't mean it, what song was that anyways?"
"Will be there….hey don't change the subject!"
"You're making this a whole lot bigger than what it is, I'm fine Alvin, really I understand and I forgive you, why won't you forgive yourself?" Brittany questions staring intently at him, not affected by the sharp glow of his golden eyes anymore, if everything they look stunning to her now.
Alvin huffs and for a moment it looks like he's just going to ignore her, "Fine," he grumbles like a child eyes shifting to focus on the still bleeding wound of her shoulder.
"Good, now let's go this place is freaky and- ALVIN!" Brittany screams in shock as said munk suddenly begins to undress her, "IDIOT JUST BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN GET UNDER MY SKIRT!" she tries in vain to escape but it seems he's intent on getting her jacket off.
"Stupid it's not that!" his cheeks are painted crimson as he finally flings the blood soaked material away, "Your staining your clothes," he huffs pointing to her shoulder, the Chipette glances down at the decent sized hole in her flesh, barely missing her tank top strap.
"Here," Brittany blinks watching quietly as Alvin tears the clean sleeve off her ruined jacket; Brittany was about to protest but realized how much effort it'd take to get the stain out; and proceeds to use it as a bandage before slipping out of his hoody and holding it out to her.
"I have a tank top," the Chipette points out taking the offered clothes and trying to avoid staring at his exposed chest, "It's cold and you don't want your wound to get infected, besides my body temperature is fair higher than yours so I won't even notice its gone," he says as he stands helping Brittany up as well.
Widow had made him put on dark jeans earlier and now he's thankful for them, he slips his paws into the pockets watching as Brittany squirms into his hoody, "How do I look?" she questions posing.
Alvin twitches and shrugs, "Nice, now let's go," he says turning to leave, "No, you have to tell me I'm beautiful or it'll hurt my feelings," Brittany whines tugging at his arm like a toddler wanting attention, "You look beautiful now can we go? I thought you wanted to leave?"
"You're blushing! You like that I'm wearing your clothes!"
"No I'm not and what makes you think that!"
"Maybe I should raid your closet and start wearing your shirts and boxers to bed,"
"NO!"
"Ah ha, you're blushing, you're blushing!"
"Am not!"
Ember and Grendel turn upon hearing the two bickering rodents walking towards them, Grendel notices with quiet amusement the fact that Brittany is dressed in Alvin's hoody and the munk is blushing, trying in vain to argue with the smug looking Chipette who looks kind of small in his clothes.
"Brittany, Alvin!" Ember bounds forward plowing into the two and proceeding to drown them in her saliva, "OFF!" Alvin carefully pushes the pup off and stands wiping at his face before leading a paw to Brittany who hugs her hell hound puppy as soon as she's standing again.
"You're hurt Ember does it sting?" the Chipette coos gently stroking the pup's muzzle and laying her head against her unwounded cheek, the pup merely purrs in affection enjoying the attention while Alvin simply stares at the two somewhat jealous and Ember seems to notice.
"Alvin are you ok?" Ember questions turning Brittany's attention to the rodent, "Oh yeah I'm fine," he chuckles rubbing the back of his head, "But you smell of blood, and your stiff,"
Alvin twitches narrowing his eyes at the observant demon, "How'd you tell?" he asks resting a paw over his broken ribs which are healing at a sluggish pace thanks to the sedates from earlier, Ember simply smiles at him making him stick his tongue out.
"Your ribs are broken! Why didn't you tell me?" Brittany snaps frowning at him, Alvin raises his paws in defeat, "They don't hurt that much, besides my first priority as your partner, friend, and demon is to make sure your safe and happy first, for all I care I could die," he says immediately regretting it when he sees tears blur her electric blue eyes.
"Uh wait, uh I didn't mean-,"
"Don't ever say that, got it?" he swallows giving a soft nod of his head, golden eyes wide as he watches her turn and storm off out the front door, Grendel silently follows, Ember trots over to the startled rodent and touches her nose to his shoulder.
"She really cares for you Alvin, more than you think," with that she follows after the others leaving Alvin to trail after in confusion, why is it the pup is younger than him and yet sounds so much smarter?
"It turned out well,"
"I told you it would, but do you think they'll be able to pass the other trials? Insanity wants to break their Bond and yet they still haven't told each other what lies not only in their hearts but souls, do you think they're not brave enough to find the truth?"
"They're brave enough, and strong enough, they have friends who will help guide them and rescue them, or turn them in the right direction, trust me this will all fall into place soon enough,"
The white furred Chipette shifts then sighs, "Can I stop looking like her please?" Widow questions seeming slightly annoyed, a soft laugh answers her, "Of course,"
A white light overtakes the Chipette's body, it lasts only a moment before fading, in her place stands a black furred chipmunk, his tail is gray and has white spots, the rodent is dressed in a silver V-neck shirt with black shorts, two folded iron bladed fans are strapped to the belt of his shorts and a crimson cloak covers his pearl grey eyes.
"I really hate shifting into the opposite gender," he grumbles stretching and popping his shoulders, rolling his neck to work out a knot.
"Relax Retsasid, you won't have to do it again for some time," the feminine voice assures him as the doors behind him swing open, the munk turns pearl grey eyes locking on the tall form of a gray furred bat.
The bat walks forward easily on his hind paws coming to stand next to the rodent making sure to have a decent amount of space between them, "Did everything go as plan?" the bat questions.
The bat himself is about the size of a flying fox bat, with fangs like a vampire bat that hang over his bottom lip like an overbite, his left eye is a dark green the pupil fogged over with cataracts yet it's obvious he can still see, his right is clear and is a sharp blue, the ends of his wings are adorned with sharp blades meant for slashing while he flies, around his neck and going down his back is a white mane of sorts.
"Oh welcome back Drake, and yes everything worked out perfectly," the female giggles at the thought, her silhouette the only thing the two male rodents can see, she's lying sideways in a burnt throne a wild bushy tail swishing back and forth brushing against the floor.
"Everything's going as planned,"
YAY! Alvin and Brittany moments! X3
I just can't get enough of the two *fangirl squeal* don't worry your OCs will be appearing in the next chapter, I haven't forgotten about them.
Remember munks and ettes! Fire and ice are AWESOME! Cookies make bears happy, pandas aren't racist, and chipmunks DO talk and sing!
