Umm. Lets think. I really want to know exactly how many more chapters there are. There's this one… Oh damn I have to start a whole new plot… oh.. I know what I am going to do. So awesome… now what's the old plot I was continuing on with… oh right. Anyway, next chapter.
Crimson Red Nightmare
Chapter Eleven
The four Mew Mew's stood there for a few moments, none of them moving, only breathing in air. Meanwhile, the crowd had discovered a side exit and began pushing and shoving towards it.
"Now look what you've done." Zoey said angrily. "You've ruined our chance." She pouted, looking at Kram. "I'm not happy."
Kram's eyes met each of the five standing down on the ground, waiting to see how Kram would react. She turned to Zoey, and asked, "How many crystals did you send back?"
Zoey closed her eyes for a second, and then reopened them. "Fifty two." She answered loyally, though she was still pouting.
"Definitely not enough. I will gather more, and you can have some fun with this lot. Enjoy." Kram instructed her before teleporting somewhere else.
"I will." Zoey whispered, before turning towards the five on the ground.
Corina backed into Renee when Zoey turned her now crimson red eyes on the team.
"Her eyes…" She whispered to her friends, unnerved. "They're… like blood."
"Are you trying to insult me?" Zoey asked, appearing next to Corina. "It's not very wise. I'm not the same person. I'm not as childish and juvenile. What Mark did to me opened my eyes, and Kram helped me through the pain. I owe everything to her. I will prove my loyalty. And the first thing I need to do is destroy the pathetic Mew Mew's."
"I thought I was helping." Elliott told her quietly, his eyes pleading with hers. "I talked you through it. I made sure you were safe."
"You didn't do a very good job of it. You say you were trying to help me, but what help is it when, after I've been in that situation, you try to take advantage of me. You were with Mark all along. All that hugging and putting your arm around me. It makes me sick now. I can't believe I was so blind and thought you actually cared." Zoey stated coldly.
"I did care." Elliott whispered. "I… I was trying to be nice. I wasn't taking advantage of you – I would never do that."
"See? Your lies only make me sicker. Trying to be innocent will not make me change. Nothing can change me. I'm on the winning team." Zoey smirked, raising her hand above her head. "And because of your lies, and all the things you did to me, I will destroy you first."
Bridget, who had been gaping all through Zoey's speech, sniffed. If what she said was true, then Elliott had picked who he wanted. Sure, he'd take a while to get over Zoey, but Bridget was determined to persuade him to take her on as a girlfriend.
"Don't you dare touch him!" She cried out. "I will not allow it."
"You can't stop me." Zoey said, turning her eyes on Bridget. "You don't stand a chance."
Her hand that was gloved in shiny red material started to glow a fierce red, a small orb appearing in her hand. Each second it grew in size, until it was bigger than Zoey's body.
"First I will throw this orb at you five, and then it will explode, and each and every one of you will be ripped into tiny shreds. You can't escape now. There is no way." Zoey said smugly.
"Tambourine Shockwave Bubble Encircle!" Kikki screamed, trying to create a bubble around Zoey and her large orb. But, with a swipe of Zoey's hand, the orange bubble dissipated.
"As Kram once told you, your useless attacks won't work on me."
Zoey's red orb had finally stopped blowing. "It's time for you to die." Zoey told them, before hurling the large orb at the huddled group.
Wesley opened the door just as a magnificent red light was sent towards his friends. He looked up and saw that the thing that had sent that enormous attack was Zoey, except her appearance had changed.
Instead of her usual pink dress and pink boots, she had a midnight black dress with red heels. Her tail and ears had remained the same, though the bow on the tail was gone, along with the bell. She wore a choker around her neck, an long red gloves. Her hair was darker than her dress, and her eyes were crimson red.
Noticing that the team was in danger, Wesley pulled a device out of his pocket, before hurling at the rapidly approaching orb. The orb halted, and slowly disappeared into the device.
"You!" Zoey hissed, turning to face Wesley. "How dare you?"
Her eyes flashed, and Zoey screamed. Her entire body, even the skin, turned crimson red and remained like that. Zoey's fangs grew larger, her claws ripping through the gloves.
"You cannot stop this world from being destroyed!" Zoey cried out.
Just as she was about to summon the energy to destroy the six, Kram reappeared by her side.
"Ouch. You shouldn't have angered my little kitty. It's your own fault. Unfortunately, I need Zoey now. But hey, I'll make sure she destroys you some other time." Kram grabbed Zoey's hand, and together they both disappeared.
The four girls and Elliott turned to Wesley, amazed. "Great timing." Elliott said, the first to recover. Yet even though he looked all right on the outside, his inside was burning fiercely.
"You stupid girl!" Kram yelled, slapping Zoey across the face. "I told you that you weren't supposed to do anything yet. We need the crystals. Come on, you seem to have settled down, I need 250 more crystals. I collect 248 while you were getting steamed up."
"This is Felicity Dangra reporting from the famous store of Red's Crystals. Recently, only half an hour ago, two suspicious persons were seen in this store. They seem to have taken a massive amount of crystals, ranging from fifty to one hundred. If anyone knows any details, please dial 555-444-033."
Wesley turned off the television set.
"No ordinary humans could steal that many crystals without getting caught." Elliott stated the obvious.
He and Wesley were standing in the kitchen, waiting for the girls to bring in the orders.
"I know. It's been happening quite a bit in the past two days. Always crystals, nothing else. What do you think they're up to?" Wesley asked absently.
"I do not know."
"Is this enough?" Zoey asked, gesturing to the many crystals that filled the top storey of Kram's personal castle.
"Yes, this is plenty. We have more than we originally wanted, but as you humans say, the more the merrier." Kram informed Zoey.
"I am no longer human. Humans are pathetic little beings, letting others control their lives for them." Zoey replied.
"Good. Now, we are going to place a curse." Kram informed her.
"Sounds interesting. Will it be any good?" Zoey asked.
"Of course it will be. And once they are under my curse, I will become the ruler of this world. I can sacrifice as many lives as I want for my young." Kram said greedily.
"Sacrifice… I like that word."
"All right. Close your eyes, and don't open them. If you do, something terrible might happen. I just need you to store all you energy into each and every stone, as I make the curse. That is all I need you to do – I will take care of the rest." Kram instructed.
"Yes." Zoey whispered, closing her eyes tightly.
It was deadly silent in Kram's large castle, and Zoey slowed down her breathing concentrating on the stones. When she had a clear picture of them in her mind, she imagined her power and energy flowing into them.
When she was done, she stopped pouring her energy into the stones, feeling drained and weak. She only had a small bit of energy left. Suddenly she realised that although she had cut off the flow of energy, she was still growing weaker.
Opening her eyes doubtfully, she saw Kram standing in front of her, her eyes closed. She whispered, "I am Kram." Suddenly, Kram's body changed until she had changed into a young boy the age of thirteen. With a shock, Zoey recognised him. "I am Mark." Kram whispered.
She changed once again. "I am the Blue Knight." She changed for the final time, whispering fiercely, "I am Deep Blue."
Zoey gasped, realising that Kram was another of Mark's many identities. Kram, who had relieved her of all pain, was in fact Mark, who had brought Zoey pain in the first place.
As the spell placed on Zoey dissipated, she screamed loudly, falling to the ground, the world around her going black…
Wow, that chapter actually only took me a day to write. Maybe I am getting back into the habit of writing a chapter per day. Yay. And I wasn't even going to bother writing today. Ah well. I will start the next chapter tonight, and finish it tomorrow… Damn I won't be home the day after tomorrow. Ah well I will write the chapter on paper and then type it up. Yay.
Love Kirst…
