9: Caught.
I don't own AT and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to AENR13. I'm so sorry i haven't updated just that well with the holidays coming around the corner, time flies! Leave your reviews!
"Tick tock... tick tock..." the clock repeats the only two words it knows, Ashley waits with the darkness of the room growing around her. She jumps a bit as Pain clamps down his hands on her shoulders
"Don't be so easy to scare Ashley, someone might even use it to kill you..." he teases but in a tone which sounds like if he's implying that he would. Ashley rolls her eyes
"Shut the hell up, I'm not in the mood." she looks away but Pain gets in her face
"You know, that how you'll wined up in trouble." she glares at him but then makes a shocked face as his face glitches between his and Pride's. "What?" he says in the same voice as Pride's causing her to jump out of her chair away from him. She aims a knife at his chest
"I know what you're doing and stop it. I'm the one who made it possible for you to escape so keep yourself in line." she threatens, his face goes back to his as you can tell that the enjoyment of messing her up is gone.
"Actually, it was your Celestial Spirit that made it possible." they glance over and it's Misery with Carmella behind him. She keeps her head down, Ashley and Pain study her, but Pain grins maliciously as he literally starts feeling her emotions out to see what kind of pain has happened to her. Carmella looks up and bows
"If you excuse me, I have some other things I would like to attend to. If you let me Lady Ashley," Ashley nods so Carmella leaves, Pain smirks as he watches her leave.
"Leave her alone." Ashley barks but it falls on deaf ears because he turns into a shadow and slithers out of the room. She shakes her head and glances over at Misery. "We got plans to do, keep your brother in check." He nods as they start planning.
Carmella's making mental maps and images to help her memorize and give Fionna and Wrath as much information she can so that way they'll be able to figure out where the hideout is. She's supposed to regroup with them tomorrow, even though it's less than 24 hours by now, a lot can happen... and that's not even considering that she still has to be back before the two weeks are over, if she doesn't, there's no way on telling how Pride's condition is going to get...
"What are you thinking about so hard?" she yelps as she nearly crashes into Pain who mysteriously appeared in front of her out of no where.
"It's nothing for you to be concerned about." she says nicely because she saw how bad Pain left Pride when he was little... memories of Pride's body comes to mind of that day... She snaps out of it as Pain grabs her by the jaw
"I can feel that someone has caused you to make a very rash decision... Tell me one thing though, are you sure that this person is worth it? Because from what I'm picking up, this man has caused you emotional pain even though he didn't do it intentionally or so without knowing about your feelings for him. But I can satisfy that desire in you to be loved or so touched by him... After all, he is very similar to me from what I can see," he slithers his hand down to her neck, she pushes him off.
"Never!" she grabs herself to try covering up even though she is, she feels so violated and scared because he was able to say all of that by managing to pick up on the tiniest trace of pain Pride unintentionally inflicted on her. When she found out that Pride had slept with Ashley during the Nightmare War, she felt so hurt even though they never shared more than two words from what she can recall.
"The offer is always there, I've always had a liking towards Celestial Spirits..." he says in a tone that men use in order to get someone to sleep with them. She runs down the hallway.
A week later
Lust's asleep in the cell with Dustin sleeping on her back, using her hair to keep him warm. There's the sound of the door opening so she wakes up to see what's going on. "Carmella?" she questions as she gets Dustin off of her back carefully, she nods as she closes the door behind her. Carmella gets down on her knees and starts digging through her bag, "What are you doing?" Lust questions, Carmella tells her to be quiet
"I'm getting you and Dustin out of here. Fionna and Sloth are outside of the cave but first we have to make clones of ourselves to that way if Misery or Pain comes to inspect, they won't know that we left. We don't have much time though," she opens a jar full of colorful sand and blows some into the air. "Zodiac Spirit Gemini: Duplicate." these identical clones of all three of them appear. Lust holds Dustin as Carmella helps them up, "Let's go."
They glance down the hallway to see if anyone's coming, there isn't so they run as fast as they can, careful not to call any attention to themselves, they get out of the cave where they've been held out and run into the plains of the area surrounding the cave. That's when they realize that they've been on an island the whole time. No wonder Ashley and the others were under the radar...
Lust and Carmella pick up the pace as a boat is in sight with two females waving them over, Lust smiles and they're about to make it when Carmella's suddenly knocked down to the ground. Lust's about to stop when Carmella yells out "NO! GO!" Lust hesitates but by the way how she yelled, she leaves Carmella there and runs over to the boat
"Carmella!" Fionna screams, arrows sail their way to them so they take off. Carmella tries freeing herself from the weighted ropes that are holding her down when a pair of boots are in her face. She looks up with fear and it's Pain and Ashley, Pain gets her up to her feet, Ashley growls as she punches her across the face. Carmella hangs her head as blood comes out of the corner of her mouth,
"So I see you were working for them! If you're no use to me, then maybe you can be in an other way... Let's go back. I'll show you what happens when a Celestial Spirit breaks a contract's terms with its master." She takes off so Pain forces Carmella to follow.
Hatred bangs against the door to Pride's room and waits,
"Go away. I don't want to see anyone." Pride barks from the inside of the room. Hatred rolls his eyes and bangs again
"I'm not leaving," he barks back
"You're the last person I want to see." Hatred lets out a low growl and walks in. Pride growls as he tosses himself over and puts his pillow over his head. "Go away." He mumbles, Hatred stands in front of him, he shakes Pride a bit
"Get up. I'm not letting you have a pity party for yourself." Pride groans as he closes up
"I have no reason to keep living." Pride mumbles, Hatred clenches his jaw
"Get up." He clamps his hands over his ankles and literally pulls Pride out of bed. He starts dragging him over to the door, Pride digs his nails into the floor and hisses. "You're getting out of the room." Hatred states as he throws the door open and drags Pride out behind him. Pride's groaning and protesting wanting to go back to his room as Hatred drags him down the stairs to one of the main rooms. Pride looks over and is speechless,
"Dustin? Lust?" he questions as he can't believe what's going on. Lust nods as she comes over with Dustin, he wakes up and sees Pride. Dustin holds his hands out as a smile takes over his face
"Da!" Pride just looses all his calmness as he grabs Dustin and hugs him tight with sobs. He eventually calms down as he sees the sudden silence that's in the room. Fionna, who's there with the Black Bloods, she looks down pulling on her sleeve, "What?" Pride asks as he looks around, Sloth, Lust, and Fionna don't meet his eyes. Fionna finally looks up at her brother,
"There's some things that Envy made me promise on not telling you. Ask him first,"
Pride hollers out for Envy, he comes in and demands to know what's going on. Envy sighs "Fine." And then he starts telling him what's been going on since his depression and the measures that Carmella and the others took. Pride sets down Dustin and disappears in a slur of seconds. Envy grits his teeth as he dispenses into shadows with no choice but to go after him.
