Hi fellow readers! Liz's POV
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Hades: I sure did ^^
Me: *sweatdrops*
Hades: Anyway babe, aren't you almost done with this story?
Me: ^^ Not quite, but soon.
I hope you guys liked how I wrote the Angel of Death scene, that was one of the coolest scenes in the movie!
After Nuada took Nuala and Alina, Red was immediately taken to the infirmary. My other half now lay against a medical chair hooked up to several machines, while I stood beside him, Abe had finished cleaning the outside of the wound. He ignored the blood on his hands while he got some medical tongs and gently tried to pull out the spear piece from Red. But doing so only got Red to cry out in pain, the screen behind Abe beeped and it appeared the spear piece only moved closer to Red's heart.
"Jesus! Abe pull the damn thing out!" I demanded at Abe. Abe immediately turned around and said back to me.
"I cannot every time I touch or come close to the spear point it moves closer to his heart, I don't know else what to do, the wound will not heal until the spear point is removed, we're running out of time"
I refused to give up on Red like this, not now.
"Then we go after the Prince, and we make him take it out, Alina needs us also" I told Abe firmly while remaining calm. Abe nodded before excusing himself, I noticed he was worried. He must be concerned about Alina, and Nuala.
"Hey Liz?" Red asked me weakly. I looked to my boyfriend.
"You asked" he began.
"Shhh, don't talk" I told him gently.
"No, no, let me tell you" Red interrupted me; he lifted his head up weakly. "I know what's important it's you"
"Red" was all I could whisper.
"I could turn my back on the world, all of it, as long as you stay with me" he finished.
"I'll stay with you, you're the best man I ever met" I replied to him before placing a kiss onto his forehead.
Meeting Room
Still Liz's POV
"The Cylinder yielded coordinates to the County Antrim in Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway right about here" Johann finished explaining. Red was still in the infirmary and Abe was helping the other agents searching for the crown piece. I held the cylinder in my hands.
"Great so we know where he is, what are we waiting for? We should get going"
"The Prince will demand the crown piece, Agent Sherman" Johann said while his glass helmet full of his mist looked back at me.
"So we give it to him!" I argued back. Johann turned to Manning; the director looked up at me.
"I am afraid it's not as simple as that" Manning said.
"Hold on here what are you saying?!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"The Golden Army must not awaken" Johann continued.
"So what! You're just going to let Red die that's it!" I was trying to keep my temper in check. I noticed Abe had come in; Manning gave him a wait gesture with his hand.
"I'm sorry we called Washington, we have our orders" Johann finished. I looked to Manning.
"What about you he saved your life"
"I know" Manning said even he didn't like the sound of this.
"I know this is difficult for you, but" Johann began but I interrupted him.
"Well, I won't let him die" I said, while I opened the door that was an exit.
"Agent Sherman, may I remind you that I am leader of this team" Johann said to me, but I interrupted him like I did before.
"Oh there's no doubt about that sir, that is what you are, Dr. Krauss, and if ever you were human that time is long gone" as I finished that I left the meeting room. Immediately my fire engulfed my body as I sat down on a metal beam, Abe came up to me.
"Even without the piece we have to get him out of here, we'll go to Antrim and find the Prince" as I said this my flames began to go out.
"Just the two of us" Abe nodded.
A Half Hour Later
Abe was successful with getting a plane ready. I helped Red into his jacket; he had a white bandage that was wrapped around his waist, the wound where the spear point was still causing some bleeding. As I supported Red going down the hallway, Abe meet back up with me.
"We need to leave now, before they run our clearance upstairs" the merman told me.
"Guten Abend, meine Fruende" called Johann. Oh great, now we were busted. "Do you have authorization to take that plane?"
I got my gun out ready to use it if I had to.
"You're not gonna stop us, Johann" I told him. What Johann said next surprised me.
"On the contrary I've been giving it some thought and we should be able to save Agent Hellboy" Johann tossed a red velvet bag at Abe, who caught it in his left hand. "You say I'm not human anymore, but you are wrong, I understand your pain all too well"
Red opened the bag and out came two golden wedding bands; Johann must have been married before he became an agent.
"A long time ago I lost the woman I loved, and that was, in fact the source of my present misfortune, I will tell you about it one day, but for now the tactical advantage is ours, consider this the Prince lacks the Crown Piece and without it his army poses no threat"
"So we have clearance then?" I asked Johann I was glad he was now on our side.
"Agent Sherman, Liz, screw the clearance we will take that plane!
Antrim, Northern Ireland
The flight to Antrim took a good five hours. The sun was rising as we landed the plane. Once we had Red out, we started looking for the entrance to the Giant's Causeway.
"It should be here someplace, the entrance should be right here" Abe said while holding the map. In front of us was nothing. "I don't understand"
"Perhaps there is a mistake on the map" Johann suggested.
"Hello there!" called a male Irish voice. We all looked in front of us to see golden colored creature. It had to be a goblin, he had no legs because only his arms were his only way to get around, and he used pieces of wood to support them. Behind him he carried around a wagon full of junk.
"I bid you welcome strangers, how can I be of assistance?" he asked us.
"We seek safe passage to Bethmoora" I replied to the goblin.
"And what does a nice little girl like you want in the nightlands?" he asked me.
"We are looking for Prince Nuada" I answered him back.
"Him I know, trade me something and I'll take you to him" I showed my belt to him.
"I have a shiny belt" I mentally wanted to slap myself, the goblin had no legs. I then took out my binoculars.
"What about a pair of magic eyes?" I suggested to him. The goblin shook his head.
"I already have binoculars, but I see something special something shiny underneath the bandages what about that?" I shook my head before replying.
"It can't be taken out, not without killing him" I explained. The goblin appeared to be in thought for a minute, before he looked back at me again.
"I know someone who might be able to help; if he can remove the spear will you trade me then?"
I nodded.
"Very well" the goblin replied, before he put a whistle to his lips and blew into it twice. Immediately one of the rocks in front of us moved, followed by more. I watched in awe as the Giant's Causeway was actually a giant made out of stone; an entrance seemed to form, so we all headed towards it, the goblin as our guide.
A few minutes later
The goblin had led us past the ruins of the city of Bethmoora, it once looked like it was a beautiful place, now ruined because of the Golden Army and the war between mankind and paranormal folk. This was why we had to stop Nuada. The goblin led us to a red structure.
"All right little girl you and you're other half come inside, the rest of you wait out here" the goblin explained. While supporting Red, I walked us forward following behind the goblin. When entered the structure, the room was full of candles.
"Hello friend, I have brought you visitors, and I have a favor to ask you" the goblin said to the being in front of us.
"I owe no favor to you goblin, leave" a raspy voice said from the creature in front of us. The creature had folded black wings, and the rest of it was hidden underneath a veil. The goblin argued back with the beast, while Red suddenly gave a groan and he finally collapsed. I held my love in my arms, as the creature finally noticed. It pointed out single sandpaper colored like finger at Red and said.
"Anung Un Rama" I looked up at the creature.
"You know that name?" I asked it.
"And yours Elizabeth Sherman" the haunting voice said before it laughed. The creature stood up, its black wings spreading open. "At last I have been waiting for you both many a winter moon" the beast finally pulled back its veil. This thing was the Angel of Death, I had read about these powerful creatures, only one lived unless it was killed. The wings had eyes on them, which opened; the angel's face had no eyes, only a fanged mouth, its chest was only bones.
"I am his death, and I will meet him at each crossroads" I ignored the goblin's question and looked to the powerful creature in front of me.
"Can you save him?" I asked.
"It is for you to decide that, it is all the same to me, my heart is full of dust and sand, but you should know it is his destiny to bring about the destruction of the earth, not now, not tomorrow, but soon enough" the wind seemed to listen because it blew sand off of a floor painting of Red. "Knowing that you still want him to live?" the angel asked me. I looked down at Red once more, when I looked up, the angel was right in front of me.
"So child make the choice, the world or him?"
"Him" I immediately replied.
"The time will come and you my dear will suffer more than anyone" the angel told me gravely.
"I'll deal with it, now save him"
"It is done" my eyes widened when I saw the angel holding the spear point. I looked down at Red's injury and sure enough the wound was starting to heal. The angel laughed before it got up again.
"I have done what I can, now give him a reason to live" I watched as the angel floating backwards, it then disappeared, the spear it held dropped to the floor, the goblin went to collect his prize. I bent down and whispered to Red.
"Listen to me you big ape, you have to get up, you have to get up, because you're gonna be a father" I then kissed his forehead. Red immediately opened his golden eyes and looked up at me. I helped him get up. He now stood in front of me, he then asked.
"I become father?" I nodded; I then closed my eyes as the two of us put our foreheads together.
"I know this is very touching, but if you still want to meet Nuada we gotta go" the goblin said a second later. Red ripped off his bandage and said. "Ready"
Now ain't that sweet!
Red and Liz love. Feel free to review!
