CHAPTER NINE~
After that whole fiasco at the hospital, I checked out from there. And Twister walked me home. We are now sitting on the couch. Twister cusses as he plays Halo Reach.
I want to play, but Twister says that I might get a brain hemorrhage. I sigh as I lay on the couch. My head still hurts and I just want to go to bed. I look over at Twister and moan a little. The doctors said that I had a concussion, but they weren't sure how I got it. They said I probably just smacked into something without realizing.
"Can I go to bed now?" I mumble.
"No." Twister snarls. "For the millionth time, NO! We have to go over to Kid's place in a couple of minutes."
I groan and turn away from the T.V. the flashing colors are giving me a migraine. I stare up at the ceiling as I think about what is about to go on at Kid's house. I sigh and slowly pull myself up from the warm embrace of the couch. I walk into my room and change into a white blouse with a low V-neck and a black pencil skirt. I then go into the bathroom and straighten my hair and put mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow. I put on the thick Silver locket that Twister got me. I have to admit, the locket is pretty heavy. Inside is a picture of me and the gang all smiling up at the camera. I smile warmly back down and go to the living room where Twister is standing. He's wearing a dress shirt that matches his eyes and a regular pair of jeans. Seeing him makes me feel a little over dressed.
"Let's get this show on the road." He grins and I smile back at him.
We make sure the house is all locked up before we go, 'cause I'm just special that way. As we walk down the roads and alleyways to Death's house, a flurry of thoughts rushes through my head. What did Soul have to ask me earlier? What is this party about? Will there be cake?
A smash of glass made us both raise our guard. Twister slowly turns around and gives a little gasp. "Cloud…" he whispers under his breath "Get ready." Suddenly a dark figure leaps in front of me and my eyes widen in fright. Standing just a few feet away from me is a tall man, almost seven feet. Long Silver claws cover his fingers and he wears a large Black tux.
"Well, well," the Kishin growls in a demonic voice "What have we here? A filthy rat and a little rose, I think we are going to have a feast tonight Rowling."
"Yes, indeed." Says another voice behind me. "Shall we have some fun first, eh Lovwidge?"
I leap in the air before the one on the tux, Lovwidge, can stab me. Twister throws a hard Mach Punch to him and I kick Rowling in the head. Rowling growls and throws a swift punch to my stomach, his claws rip my blouse. I blush and slice his side with my arm. "Ooh, the rose has thorns." Cackles Rowling. I hiss in fury and throw more punches and kicks to the ugly creature.
I hear Twister cry out in pain and turn to him doubled over, a deep gash in his arm. "Now to see what makes you tick." Lovwidge smirks as he brings down a large clawed hand. I run forward and suddenly a huge pain shoots through my head.
Oh, no! Not now!
TWISTER'S P.O.V
I lie on the ground. My arm burns under me. That bastard, I think. He got me when I switched places with Cloud. Cloud, Cloud, CLOUD! I widen my eyes over at her; she's staring at us with hate filled eyes. Oh, crap. Please, please don't do what I think you're going to do.
Too late. She runs forward and jumps on top of me. I want to tell her to run away but the pains to unbearable. I look up and see Cloud, her arm transformed into an axe and she has a crazed smile on her face. "Let's go." She giggles "What's a mattah? I can feel your bullshitty Soul wavering. Are you afraid?" she cackles as she shoves Lovwidge away from me. As he falls to the ground she looks back at me. The crazy grin is still plastered on her face but her eyes are pleading. "Are you ready, Twister?" I nod and she leaps into my arms. I swing her Weapon around and grin. "I'm so ready." I say.
ORIGIANAL P.O.V
We both gasp on the ground. Our clothes are bloody and tore up. I look over at Twister but he just stares at the ground. "Was it bad?" I ask. Twister finally looks at me; I flinch back from his glare. "Yeah," he growls. "Uh, when were you gonna tell me that you have the Madness?" I slowly stand to my feet and dust off my torn up skirt. I begin to walk away, but Twister clamps down on my wrist. I turn and this time he flinches away, but he keeps a steel grip on my hand. "I didn't even know I had it." I snap back at him. I feel tears spike up around my eyes. "I mean, my Daddy-" I stop and choke a little bit and Twister's eyes squint.
"What?" he asks. "What were you about to say?" I bite the inside of my cheek and look away. "Say it!" he shouts and I look back at him. Hatred fills my head and I bite his hand, hard. He cries out in pain. "My father!" I screech as he falls on the floor. "My Daddy had the Madness! He killed my Mom and I killed him! Is that what you want?! There's your answer! I guess the Madness that was in him is now in me too!" the tears are slowly flowing down my cheeks now. And I can't help but wipe at my face, smearing my make-up. "Is t-that what you w-want? I-is that all e-everyone w-wants?" I cough.
I am so infatuated with my tears I don't see Twister stand up. I look up when I feel two arms wrap around me. I sob into Twister's shoulder. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I choke out while he just shushes me and pets my hair.
SOUL'S P.O.V
A sharp knock sounds at the door and Patty leaps up from the floor and rushes to the main hall. "Oh, Cloud! Twister! Hey!" she cries out in joy and I pick my head up. Cloud and Twister come in and they look totally trashed. I twitch my head over to Kid and see him blackout.
