Story Title: Believe in the Unbelievable
Chapter Title: Open Your Eyes
--
Casey had started chattering loudly during the middle of the flight, and since then has not stopped. Eevy tried multiple times to calm him down, but Casey didn't want to. He clung to the front of Eevy's shirt tightly, refusing to let go.
Hellboy had gotten the lucky seat behind her, hearing his squeaks and noise as he panicked. He didn't mind sitting behind her, it was just the damn monkey that made him want to punch something.
Eevy sighed, getting up out of her seat while petting Casey in condolence. "It's alright, Casey. Everything's gunna be okay." She smiled, mumbling sweet reassuring words to him. But all he did was squeak and protest in his own monkey language.
Eevy squirmed out of her row and walked towards the bathroom, locking it behind her she slipped off her shirt, wrapping Casey in it as if he was a baby. That seemed to calm him down a bit, but she looked down to see she was just wearing her red bra. "Great, this is why I need to think things through." She mumbled, hitting her forehead with the heel of her hand.
She heard Casey snicker and she looked down at him as he cuddled snugly in her shirt. She smirked. "Oh so that's what shuts you up, me in a bra? Or is it me making a fool of myself?"
Casey just continued to snicker, chewing softly on a part of the fabric, his dark eyes stared up into her's, full of happiness and no longer fear. Eevy smiled, stroking her cheek against his head affectionately, "Aw, I can't stay mad at you." he cooed at her softly before she brought her face away with a half smile.
"Guess I just gotta, wing it." She blew a stray strand of hair from her face and turned, opening the door.
"Avert your eyes, men!" Eevy shouted, "For I am topless." Suddenly, half of the men on the plane turned to look before looking away with a blush. Eevy just laughed as the rest didn't care and kept looking away. "Told you."
Hellboy was not one of the ones to look, trying to be kind to her wishes, no matter how tempting it may have been to see her half naked.
Eevy managed to make it back to her seat, Martin, glaring at her slightly as he slid his white button up shirt on her, was angry while he watched her slide into her seat.
"You know, as the only woman on this plane, I would appreciate it if you don't show your half naked body to the rest of the men on this expedition." Martin slumped into his seat, still glaring at her as she chuckled.
"Aw, c'mon Martin! Most of these guys are married, it doesn't matter! Unless you were jealous." Martin just sideways smiled at her as she started laughing.
"Just.. its embarrassing, alright?" He went back to reading his magazine, "It was embarrassing back then and it's embarrassing now."
"Oh right! Cairo! I remember that one!" Eevy giggled as she rocked Casey in her arms softly. "That was fun."
"Well, only you would think it was fun." Martin hissed, turning a page roughly.
"Excuse me, but might I inquire what happened in Cairo?" Eevy turned to look behind her seat where Abe sat next to Hellboy quietly, gently setting down one of the books he had brought along.
"Of course Abe!" Eevy grinned. "Okay, so it was really hot that day, hotter than normal. And I had on loads of working gear. There was my G.P.S., my hallow marker, my climbing gear, all that jazz," Abe nodded his head respectively, his water preserver on his gills making a light sound as his head moved, "And when I decided that it was too damn hot for all of that, I just took off my shirt that had everything connected to it. Needless to say Marty was embarrassed because all I was wearing was my black sports bra." She chuckled softly making Hellboy grin.
"What an interesting predicament." Abe concluded, stroking his mouth silently.
"Yeah, totally! After that day, like, eight of the guys we had hired to dig for us asked to marry me! It was so weird."
"It was more of three, and if I remember correctly, they asked if you would bed them, only two asked to wed you." Martin corrected, smirking at her.
"Oh, Haha, Martin. You're so funny." Eevy turned back in her seat, glaring at Martin who chuckled softly, leaving it alone.
After that conversation everything seemed to die down. The excitement faded and now boredom took over. Eevy had fallen asleep while cradling Casey in her arms and forehead against the airplane window. She snored softly in sort of a humming tone that calmed Hellboy's raging mind.
Hellboy turned to look out his window, occasionally taking a sip of his budlight. In his mind was a swarm of questions, surprisingly, not having to do with Eevy.
It had become harder and harder for Hellboy to stop thinking of her, especially since she was so close to him at that moment. But as Hellboy sat there, booze in hand and eyes becoming droopy, he started thinking about the bad feeling that surfaced in his gut. Something was wrong, he felt it. Something bad was going to happen.
Sighing he looked at Abe who looked over at him curiously when he felt Hellboy's eyes on him. "What is it Red?"
"Do ya get the feeling that," He paused looking around for a moment, trying to collect the right words. "That something bad's gunna happen?"
"Well, there's always going to be that possibility. After all, think of all the things that have happened on missions before." Abe chuckled softly, turning back to his rubik's cube. "But it'll be alright, Red. Just think positive thoughts. Maybe read a book."
Hellboy just snorted, turning back to look out the window. Ocean passed by, occasionally he'd see a few islands, but nothing much to look at.
"If you're worried Hellboy," He looked infront of him to see Eevy peeking at him from between the seats, "I haven't seen anything bad, if that helps."
He smiled slightly with a soft chuckle. "Thanks babe, I'll be okay. Just the stress, you know."
Eevy smiled, nodding. "Yeah. Well, if you ever want to relax, just tilt your head back, close your eyes, and imagine penguins." Eevy grinned.
Hellboy raised a brow at her. "Penguins?" a small smile formed on his lips.
"Yup, they'll make anyone smile." She then started to coo over a grumpy Casey who had just woken up.
Hellboy watched between the cracks of the chairs to see her stroking Casey's head gently, and whispering sweet nothings to him. She looked like a mother.
Hellboy just shook his head with a smile then took a sip of his beer, gulping it down quickly.
"You're crazy, you know that?" He told her, glancing at the back of her chair out of the corner of his eyes.
"Yup, but its just one of my wonderful qualities." Eevy grinned, rocking Casey gently as he started chattering his teeth in annoyance. "Oh shush, he's not doing anything wrong." Eevy scolded, putting a hand over his eyes playfully.
He started squeaking at her, pushing her hand away then climbing up her shirt then onto her head then onto the top of the chair. He jumped onto Hellboy's shoulder and squeaked at him before jumping onto the top of his chair and running off somewhere else.
"Cooky little bugger, isn't he?" Martin observed the scene before going back to his magazine.
"Yes, but he's my cooky little bugger." Eevy grinned, making Hellboy laugh.
"You must be so proud." Sarcasm laced his words as he took another sip of his beer.
"Oh, you know it pal!" She laughed along with Hellboy while Martin just shook his head, standing up.
"I'm going to go discuss a strategy with Marcos. Please don't do anything embarrassing while I'm gone." Martin scolded her before disappearing behind a curtain.
"Hey," Hellboy looked up at a grinning Eevy, "Wanna play rock, paper, scissors?" She wiggled her eyebrows at him suggestively, as if she was asking him if he wanted to have sex. He laughed at her before grinning.
"I think I'll beat you," He held up his right hand which made Eevy giggle, "But, okay, sure. Lets play."
For the next two hours Eevy and Hellboy played a no score kept game of rock, paper, scissors. Trough that time, Abe had traded places with her so she and Hellboy could talk. To make things fun, they had to say one thing they would do after they lost a round, they wouldn't really do it, but they said it for fun.
"Okay, one, two, three!" Eevy giggled as she held out paper and Hellboy held out scissors.
"I win, sister."
"Okay, hm... I'd make a big whole mess in Mama's kitchen making pamcakes from scratch!" he laughed along with her as they imagined Mama's face if she ever saw it.
"Okay, again." Hellboy smirked, flexing his left hand mockingly.
"One, two, three-shoot!" Eevy held out scissors while Hellboy held out paper. "Ha!" She laughed, doing a victory dance in her seat. "I win, spill it!"
Hellboy chuckled, stroking the goatee on his chin in thought. "I'd shake up fifty cans of soda, and spray it all over Manning's desk."
"What kind of soda?" Eevy asked with a giggle.
"Rootbeer!" He hissed with a teasing voice making Eevy hit his shoulder playfully.
"One does not waste the drink of the gods!" She had a big grin on her face while he smirked at her.
"I wouldn't say 'rootbeer' is the drink of the gods." He chuckled, wrapping his arm on top of her chair smoothly.
She scooted closer to him with a smirk, "Hey, you have your beer, I have mine."
He just mimicked her, getting close to her face as well. "Well then, maybe we should just see who's is better."
"You're on!" She softly slapped his cheek while laying back in her seat. "Whenever I want to drink rootbeer, I have to drink a beer, and whenever you want to drink beer, you have to drink rootbeer!" She crossed her arms over her chest and nodded triumphantly.
"Alright," his smirk grew as he stuck his left hand out for her to shake, "You're on." She shoved her tiny hand in his and they shook once, hard and confident.
"If I win, you have to babysit Casey for one week." She smirked at Hellboy's annoyed face.
"Little bastard doesn't even like me." Eevy just giggled as Hellboy thought for a moment, still holding Eevy's hand in his tightly. "Okay," his grin was so wide it looked as if it was going to break his face in two, "And if I win, you have to do what I say for a week."
Eevy winced, "Ouch, hm... you got it, buddy boy." They shook their hands one more time before pulling them apart gently, and somewhat reluctantly.
"And," Eevy paused, "Again!"
Both of them laughed as they started their on-going war of rock, paper, scissors.
When the plane landed, Eevy almost fell over three times because her legs felt like jello from sitting down for eight hours. No matter which way you put it, no one should sit down for that long. At least, that's what Eevy thought.
The hotel they would be staying at was small, it had three floors, no elevator, and circling stairs. They had a lighthouse next to it that stood tall over the ocean, the light almost always flashing. It was very beautiful, designed with sea decor which made Eevy feel at home almost instantly.
"Nice digs." Eevy smiled as they started walking up the stairs slowly, Martin infront of her, conversing with Abe about a book or something. Eevy wasn't listening to their nerd talk.
"Classy." Hellboy agreed. He walked behind Eevy, her small feet working hard up the steps so Hellboy wouldn't have to wait for her.
Once they made it to the third floor, their floor, Manning turned to stand infront of the small team, "Alright, Eevy, you will have your own room. Hellboy, you will share a room with Abe, and Martin. Marcos, Jones, and Trenton will share a room. Smith, and Moore will share a room, and I will have my own, at the end of the hall. Stay quiet, there will be other guests here, so don't be loud." Manning's eyes crossed over everyone's faces, especially Hellboy's. "Dismissed."
Everyone started heading to their rooms, checking the card key's that Manning had given them. Martin came up behind Eevy, placing a hand on her shoulder with a gentle grin. "Time for your studies." She playfully saluted him.
"Permission to take shower sir?"
Martin just chuckled. "Granted,"
"Yay," Eevy smiled, relaxing her salute. She looked down when she felt something tugging on her pant legs. Casey looked up at her, squeaking to be picked up. "Aww, my Case-ums!" She picked him up and let him crawl onto her shoulder. She looked at Hellboy with a grin. "Get ready to baby-sit my baby, you Big Red Monkey!"
Hellboy just smirked. "Not a chance, babe."
Disappearing into her room, Eevy set Casey down on the large king-sized bed. She dumped the contents of her backpack all over the other side while Casey bounced on the cushioned surface. Eevy giggled as she watched him, "Don't hurt yourself now."
He just squeaked in reply.
Eevy set down her duffle-bag and empty backpack. Shifting through the books and artifacts and scrolls she found a tiny box. Looking over at Martin who had occupied himself with Abe, asking him a question, she gently opened the box, looking at the dark necklace, "Fera Donna's Necklace." She whispered, feeling it's pulse as it calmed down with her touch. "What do you want?" She mumbled, staring at the dark jewel curiously.
"Eevy," Shutting the box quickly she shoved it into her trench coat pocket, shifting through the pile of things once more. "Are you going to take your shower?"
"Hm," She looked over at Martin nervously, who shut the door behind him, "Ah yes, just getting my things out," She laughed softly, "You know.. For the lesson!"
Martin raised an eye ridge at her, "Quite."
Biting her lip, Eevy grabbed her duffle-bag and entered the large bathroom. Locking the door behind her she sighed.
"Too close," She muttered, setting down her bag again and pulling off her trench coat. Reaching into the pocket she pulled out the small box again, just staring at the black velvet. "Way too close." She bent down, undoing a secret compartment at the bottom of the duffle she shoved the box in there, zipping up the compartment quickly.
Stripping herself from the rest of her clothes she stepped into the shower, feeling the lukewarm water run over her sore muscles. She moaned happily, smiling as she massaged her neck, attempting to get out the kinks.
"Breknack, tu's firnac-raktos." A hissing noise came from all around her and suddenly everything became quiet. She looked around the small space she was in. It reminded her of Dead silence before Mary Shaw attacked. Shoving her hands over her mouth she looked around again.
"Who's there?" She mumbled against her fingers. Feeling a cool hand on her shoulder, everything suddenly became crayon, but there were no colors, only black, white and grey sketching's. She turned quickly, staring into the eyes of a crudely drawn woman, her smile was lopsided as she stared at Eevy.
"My necklace may be in your possession child, but do not think you are going to survive this unscathed!" Eevy screamed, feeling the woman's essence pass through her, as if she had taken a chunk of Eevy's own soul with her.
Falling to the floor of the porcelain tub, Eevy felt her head smash against the side. A pain erupted through the side of her head as she groaned, feeling the water run over her eyes. "M-Martin! Martin!" She screamed, feeling something trickle through her finger's as she held her head.
"Eevy!" Martin screamed, banging on the door, "Eevy, what's wrong?"
"Martin!" Was all Eevy managed to let out, her voice felt dry as she attempted to stand, seeing the red liquid drip down from her hair and land into the water that had collected under her, turning it a murky pink. Gasping she looked down at her sides, seeing bruises starting to form on her rib cage and lower pelvis.
The tattoo on her hip, which had originally been left a blank outline, filled in with black. (The ribbons still visible.)
"What's happening?" Eevy muttered, touching her tattoo, but hissing when a pain ran through her side.
Holding her mouth, Eevy's eyes got wide as the sound came rushing back, a blast of noises made her head pound painfully. She closed her eyes and in one swift motion everything became black when her eyes shot out blinding streams of white as well as her mouth. Soon the light started escaping from her fingernails and toenails.
The curtain in her bathroom caught a bit of a flame, burning up when the light touched it. The flashing, blinding and bright white lights filled the room.
As soon as Hellboy busted in, crushing the door with his arm, everyone backed away, covering their eyes as flames erupted from the bathroom.
"EEVY!!" Martin shouted frantically as he tried to go in, but Abe and Jones held him back. "Eevy!"
Suddenly the flames died down and everything was quiet, the only thing heard was the running of the water as it escaped through the pipes and pelted Eevy's still form. No burn's were on her, nothing else was burned except for the toilet paper and the shower curtain.
"Eevy!" Martin escaped from the two that held him back as he rushed towards the woman, grabbing a towel and hiding her exposed body from view.
Casey started yelling, making his way through the people's feet and over to Eevy's side, clinging to her arm tightly, while sad squeaks escaping his mouth.
"Oh Eevy, what happened?" Martin muttered as he stroked her bloody hair, not caring that the water pelted his back.
"It seems to me as if someone has entered this room, via a connection to Eevy's brain patterns." Abe observed, studying the walls, "It was a very powerful source too, which might be the reason she had a premonition."
Hellboy walked over to Abe, looking down at Eevy's fragile form, noticing the dark spots under her eyes, indicating lack of sleep. She was paler than normal, and she seemed to be losing a lot of blood. Martin was pushing on her wound with another towel, but it wasn't holding very well.
"Trenton," Hellboy turned to the only doctor on the team, the man looked over at him, "She's losing a lot of blood."
"Oh, alright!" Trenton nervously scurried over to Martin's side, examining her injuries quickly.
Meanwhile Hellboy looked around, trying to find something that would signal that her premonition got through. Looking at the mirror carefully, he saw some discoloration on the glass. Like it had been heated up slightly.
Pulling out his lighter, he set it gently against the discoloration making the mirror flame up swiftly.
Everyone dodged the large flames before they immediately fell back onto the surface gently. Standing back, Hellboy sighed, lighting up a cigar and taking a long drag. "Someone get me a rootbeer."
Written in curvy letters, but clear as day, was a sentence that made no sense to Hellboy, no matter how long he stared at it.
"In the eyes of immortal longing, to each a distinction."
