Ch.9 Bloody Memories
11:30 A.M. 33 ½ hours left
"Mordecai look at this, why is Blood capitalized?"
"Maybe it's a name of who we need to stop. Do you know any Bloods?"
"The only Blood I know is…" Margaret couldn't even finish her sentence as she prayed who Blood was wasn't the Blood she knew…
"Margaret?" Margaret wanted to think that it couldn't be… but deep down she knew… it was her... Margaret looked towards Mordecai to see him worrying about her, to which she puts on a small smile.
"Even if it Blood comes for us, together I think we can stop her."
"Her?"
"Mordecai… before I came to Godknowswhere… I had a…"
"SISTER!" Margaret was shocked by the familiar voice as bad memories of the last time she saw her… a robin who's feathers where the color of blood… she was dressed in a black shirt that had blood drop style designs or at least Mordecai hoped they were designs, tight red jeans with a bowie knife holder, and had long drooping hair feathers that half covered eyes that Mordecai swears were as red as Margaret's feathers; not blood red…yet
"Melody?!"
"It's Blood! I thought I told you that ten years ago! When I almost finished you!"
"WHAT?!" Mordecai was shocked that someone as sweet as Margaret could have a cold hearted bitch for a sister. "Margaret, y-you were almost killed!" Margaret couldn't speak so Blood did for her.
"It happened after our mother disappeared. Mom liked me more than Dad ever did. So when she was taken from us, Dad paid more attention to Margaret because she was younger and needed it more than I did."
"So you tried to kill her just because her dad paid her more attention?!"
"Mordecai… this is what happened…" Margaret found her voice. "When Mom disappeared, Melody sanity started to leave her. At school she started to call herself Blood and was taking unnecessary risks by hanging out with different people who she thought understood her but instead were probably just using her. Then one night… she got 'fed up' with me and how Dad praised me and was hard and unappreciative on everything she did.
So she decided to do something about it! She grabbed Dad's Swiss army knife and attacked me! At first I thought she was just playing around until she tried to stab me and cut my arm. But I was lucky enough to get away and out the door. When the police came they searched everywhere but never found her.
Mordecai was stunned at how bad a life Margaret has had up to this point: Mom missing, Dad dead, Sister is a homicidal maniac desperate for attention.
"Ten years I've been hiding, searching, waiting for chance to finish everything… and now that CJ has given me that chance…" Blood pulled out her bowie knife. "IT ENDS NOW!" Blood charged them and started swinging for Mordecai. Mordecai who's had plenty of experience with people trying to kill him managed to dodge while getting a punch in. Mordecai needed something to even the odds against Blood while Margaret looked on in awe…
"Margaret, RUN!" Margaret felt Mordecai grab her arm as they took off while Blood followed with clear intent to end them. Mordecai was so concerned with putting distance between them that he wasn't paying attention to the fact that they were running up to the steep cliff in the middle of the park.
"AW CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" Mordecai turned around to see Blood running at them in the position to swing at them. Mordecai reacted first and shoved Margaret as hard as he could away from him and away from the cliff… only to get a nice cut in his left arm. He fell to the ground as Blood got onto of him to stab his heart out.
"This is the end of you, lover boy!" Suddenly Margaret using all her strength rammed Blood off the cliff but she managed to catch the ledge. "Margaret, please help!"
"You can hurt me, you can hurt Dad, but I will not forgive you for hurting Mordecai!" as Margaret said this as she kicked Blood in the face causing her to fall… straight into the ground below. With Blood no longer a problem, Margaret went to Mordecai to check his wound. "Mordecai, are you ok?!"
"Y-Yeah I'll live." Mordecai said this with a reassuring smile as his cut was surprisingly not very deep. It looked like paper cut as the blade cut just enough to break the skin. Margaret sighed with relief as she hugged Mordecai tightly. Mordecai then tried to draw attention to the awesome thing she just said. "Did you really me…
*Chime*
CJ knew just how to break up a tender moment. "Ugh her again."
Margaret read the text to Mordecai. "Did you enjoy meeting your sister Margaret? LMAO right now at your family drama and Mordecai's arm! She should have made sure you bled a little more. Anyway on with the game. Hey Mordecai how do you like your snowmen?"
"Snowmen? What the hell is she doing now?"
"Mordecai are you cold?" Mordecai looked towards Margaret as she was shivering. Then all of a sudden it was snowing all over town. Mordecai and Margaret headed towards Pops' house for warmth and to patch up Mordecai's arm. "How is she doing this?!"
"She has weather powers, remember!"
"I thought she could only produce wind storms!"
"Then we were wrong, dead wrong!" As they went inside Margaret got the emergency kit to clean and bandage Mordecai.
"Feeling better?"
"Yeah it doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks Margaret."
"It's my fault… If you didn't have to push me out of the way, you wouldn't have been hurt." Margaret looked like she was about to cry. The poor girl has been through too much… and it's only noon.
"Margaret… You're looking at what happened to me in a bad light. Why don't you use it as motivation to be stronger?" Mordecai's positive attitude was what Margaret needed to hear from as she put on a smile. "Now how about we keep digging until we hit sunshine." Mordecai stood up.
Margaret nodded and stood next to Mordecai as they looked out the window. "I'm right beside you."
