AN: I do not own Hellboy or Hellboy the movie. The characters belong to Mike Mignola and Guillermo Del Toro. I only own Jessica and this story. Please Review and Favorite!
Liz took John's hand as he guided her to the infirmary. As she pushed the doors open, Abe greeted her, "Oh, Liz. I was just about to come get you."
"Why?" Liz asked, curious.
"We need you." Abe quickly walked to the security door where a dozen agents stood. He put his hand on the scanner as the lights changed from red to green. Rumbling like thunder, the locks clicked together and the door opened. Liz took a step towards it but was held back by John, "Red is in there. He blames me for this. I don't want you to face his wrath."
Liz leaned forward, pressing her forehead against John's lips. He pursed them forward, kissing her. "He probably blames himself. I'll be alright." Liz took one more glance into Johns eyes before stepping through the doorway.
Down a dimly lit corridor, stood a large figure looking through a wall of glass. Abe and Liz stopped beside HB as Liz caught her breath. Encased in a brick of golden ice, entombed Jess. Her black hair had golden streaks in it and her wings surrounded her body protecting her. Inside, a faint blue mist pulsated like a heartbeat around her. "Jesus Christ." Liz whispered as she touched the glass.
Abe cleared his throat causing Red to look up at him, "Liz, do you think you can melt the ice?"
Liz looked through the window. Jessica had cocooned herself in this power. She had destroyed everything around her. Who knows what else she could do? "I think so." Abe moved to the side as Red caught her arm, "Hey" he said looking at Liz, "Be careful." Liz reached up, touching his face. Brushing her thumb against his cheek as she turned and walked into the room.
She walked forward her fingertips touching the ice before she pulled back. A faint glow of blue appeared in the middle of her hand and rose to her fingertips. Liz barely touched the ice before it exploded in the room.
A small halo ring of light lashed out turning destroying everything in its path. Hellboy grabbed Abe, forcing him to the floor, protect his body with his own as the glass window exploded with pieces flying everywhere. As Hellboy and Abe stood they saw Liz pinned up against the wall, surrounded by her flame, by a hand around her throat and a golden blade pointed at her face.
Jessica fell deeper into the sins of her past. She tossed and turned where light and darkness collided and soon she fell to the bottom of it all. As she awoke, she found the young and ageless had of Professor Trevor Broom assisting her guidance. "Jessica," his voice echoed through her mind, awaking her from her violent headache. He knelt down and peered at her through rustic blue eyes, "my dear," he cooed, "None of this is your fault ."
Jessica took his hand and stood as the darkness beckoned to her like a beacon. She tried backing away from it but found herself backing into something else. Quickly turning, she found herself staring into a mirror. "The echoing truths," Professor Broom spoke, "This reflecting glass will show the truth behind what is hidden." He smiled at her as he stood back.
Jessica peered into the crystal and was launched into a world of darkness: Lachrimae stood at the crossroads, dagger in hand. The bundle cradled in her arms, cooed to her. As she lifted the cloth, pair of ageless, breath taking golden eyes looked at her. He raised the dagger to his tiny throat but he reached out and touched her face. Around her, Heaven burned as the dark one rose to her. "Give me the child!" He held out his black scalene hand to her as she looked at the child. Lachrimae looked back with eyes of green fury as she held the demon child close. "Never," she growled. She couldn't harm him for she fell in love with him. The dark one stepped forward, cracking the realm beneath them and splitting the three realms apart. Lachrimae looked down between her feet seeing the human realm was open beneath the seven gods of chaos. The Dark One reached forward as Lachrimae threw the child into the human realm before following.
Jessica pulled back from the crystal as it began to crack and erupt in fire. "No!" She screams as she reached forward grabbing the dagger from her past and being pulled into the unknown.
Hellboy stared at Jess as she pinned Liz to the wall with zero recognition in her eyes. Her blade was pointed at Liz's throat and Hellboy could see the fear in her eyes. "Jess." Hellboy called to her as she looked over to him. "Jess, let her go." Liz was almost shaking when Jess let go and she dropped the floor. Jess sheathed her dagger behind the small of her back as she glared at Hellboy. " Why did you bring me back?" Hellboy could tell something wasn't right. The woman before him, looked like Jess but she didn't sound like Jess. Oh no, there was way too much power and sadness behind the voice.
Abe scrambled to his feet as he glided effortlessly across the room to Liz. Their eyes met and Liz for a moment felt like she could see the whole world in Abe's eyes. Grabbing her hand, Abe practically dragged Liz out of the room leaving Hellboy to Jessica's mercy.
Hellboy looked at Jess as she stared at him, rage in her eyes, "I came to save you."
"No one can save me!" Jess spoke with a deep growl in her voice. The heartache that crackled through the air caught her off guard as Hellboy reached out to her. "I can." He reached out and grasped her in his strong red arms. Jessica collapsed to the floor with him. Her delicate fingers reached up and caressed his face, "Oh, Red." she sighed, finally allowing Lachrimae to sleep. "I'm so sorry."
Hellboy held Jess close as her heartbeat finally returned to normal. Soft, easy, a good seventy beats per minute. Hellboy wiped the tears of Jess's face, "Now, who did this?" Hellboy looked deep into her green eyes as she sighed, "His name is Rasputin."
