Notes:
For those of you who did not get it till now, Why this Fic is called
Immortality - Dance
of the black souls... this Chapter will show
it. Before this archive forbid to use lyrics for fictions
you
found the song from Anggun – Rose in the wind to help setting the
mood in this chapter.
So, to meet international paranoia . It
started out sung from Psyche, but from a certain spot
on it
served as random music. So now, If you legally own the song,
you can listen to the song
whilst reading this, if not, hang your
head and worry how far the money has driven creativity in
this
world. Don't wonder it's a long Chapter, I had to split it up.
Chapter eleven
The
sun went up over the city, colouring the sky in a colour that pretty
much resembled the color of rum.
It reminded Jack of the old
times, as it did the soft voice of Elizabeth
that
was ringing through the air.
He could see her swirling around in
her green dresses, dancing to her own song.
He
really wondered how black her soul had turned by now, As he came
closer to the place where the
woman was dancing carelessly,
holding the knife in her hand like the insane vampire she was.
"We
should go in hiding..." The other vampire begged. "Psyche...
you should leave him here and
watch... the people will come any
moment..."
Elizabeth
stopped
in front of the fallen Angel. "I don't care..." she chirped
and fell to her knees in front
of Will, half way sitting in his
lap. "You are handsome..." She smiled, tracing a line along
his cheek and
down the jaw line with the point of her knife.
Looking in the dead like eyes of Will in front of her, whilst
wandering even deeper with the knife. "I can't really
remember your name... that's sad..." She sighed
and moved
the knife further, stopping at a small line of silver and gold around
his neck. She followed
the fine work to a red stone, resting on
his chest.
She
blinked, she knew this stone from somewhere. But could not put her
finger at it, neither could she
really tell why she was so eager
to grab around his neck and take the necklace. She laid it around her
neck and left the stone to rest in her cleavage. Marveling at the
beauty of the stone and the fine work.
"I don't know... but
can it be that you made this for me?"
All
what Will could do was slightly nod. How he had wished to tell her
everything or beg for forgiveness
right now and here, as he had
the chance. But he had hardly a chance to even move with this Angel
above him and the devil on his lap. He was not really in need to
see the face of his Elizabeth right
now, she sounded darker and more evil right now, and he could
fell the lack of anything good inside
her. She was right now not
more than a vampire, like one of those soulless beasts he had killed
or
nourished himself off.
She
fought with memories right now, she could not really remember
anything as more as a mix of pain
and pictures as blurry as the
beaten up Vampire in front of her might see her right now. If he
could see
her at all, after the spell her sister and brother in
law had cast over the poor guy. She looked down at
the wonderful
necklace around her neck right now, the knife fallen to her lap. She
wondered why he
had made this so carefully and fine peace of work
only to abandon her without it.
The
face of another women flashed in her mind for not more than a second
and irritated her. A women
with black Pearls in her hair like she
had right now, Black long curls and red cloths.
"Who
is this woman in red?" She babbled to herself, and felt Will's
struggle under her. Elizabeth
looked
questioning up to him but could not find a answer in his colorless
eyes.
"Mylady
we really have to go in hiding now... or do you want to kill him
now?" The male vampire that
still was with her tried again.
"Than do it now..."
Elizabeth
rolled
her eyes and growled, hating the interruption of her thoughts. "Shut
up! I said I don't
care!" She yelled out, throwing the
knife directly into the chest of the other vampire, deep enough to
make the vampire flinch and fall backwards already vanishing into
a mix of ashes and dust.
Will
gasped in shock, not able to speak out anything that right now was
racing through his beaten
mind. So it really had been Valeria,
this bitch. She had turned Elizabeth and
set her out, perhaps to
die the worst death ever, not only her
body but her mind should die. He could not clearly figure out
why,
but perhaps the pictures he had seen of Elizabeth, and the pain the
ghostly shadow had shown
in her eyes. Her soul had called for help
for her body. That was the only thing he could think of as
possible,
he should have known it earlier.
"Stupid
bastard..." Elizabeth snorted.
"Well... we should get rid of that chains... don't we.. it is no
fun If
you can't move..." She grinned slyly and moved over
to the ashes of the vampire. Luckily the pile of
ashes had hid
the keys to the chains so she had no problem at all and could even
take her knife back
with her. "A I knew it!" She
cheered, bouncing back to the broken vampire and his fallen Angel.
She
fell back on his legs without much care for his wail of pain and did
her best to undo the chains
from the torn male vampire in front
of her. Will could not really move at all, this servants had at least
broken one bone in his legs, no way that this would heal quick
enough to get up anyway. So he stayed
where he was, trying to
swallow the pain, as Elisabeth threw away the last chain.
Jack
had stopped behind a tree, watching the scene for a long moment,
rising one eyebrow in
amazement or more something like shock.
This female had really nothing in common with Elizabeth
anymore.
Elizabeth
was
on her legs again with a shrug. "Well, I don't remember you...
and it's fine that way... so
thank you for my new necklace..."
She started again swirling. "and because of this nice gift...
you are
allowed to hear a last song before I watch you die.."
She giggled happily and started with another
song.
Telling of her innocence once lost, the heart once beating and the love she'd once been able to feel.
"Elizabeth!" Jack called out, but the female swirled on.
Jack
had taken out his knife, If only to scare the women away from his
friend. She turned and blinked,
other memories returning to her
dizzy mind. She narrowed her eyes at the male, singing on.
A
name popped into her heart, followed by the picture of a dirty and
old pirate with long black and filthy
dread-locked hair and a red
bandana with pearls on his head. A proud black sailed ship sailed in
her
vision, over wonderful blue and clear water. Better times she
could not really remember till now.
"Who
are you?" She was confused now, and that made her the cruel
beast of who her foster father
was proud on. It dawned on her a
little late that the man was one of the 5 who had taken the role of
being guard. "Go back at your place... bastard... this is my
fun.." She ordered turning back to Will.
Jack
came closer to his whelp and the former love of the whelp's life.
Having his knife ready and being
ready to jump out of the way, If
the vampire would decide to throw the knife again. The wind turned
stronger and sent sounds of voices over from the main gate.
Jack
knew he had not much time for this. He had to make his moves right
now. "I won't go back.." he
started. "And you will
get on your legs now..." He ordered back.
Elizabeth only snorted. "Sure... as If you could command me... Sparrow!"
"That's
Captain Jack sparrow..." he corrected out of a habit before he
noticed the mention of his name.
"Do you remember me?"
Now he was confused.
At
least as confused as Elisabeth was, who was getting back on her legs
now, stepping back from
Wills body, looking very confused and
lost. Staring into the space, as emotionless as in the moment
she
had seen Will in the dance hall. She was to deep in confrontation
with her mind right now, all the
memories making her shivering
and dizzy. She did not want to remember anything, never, she had
suffered so much in this tiny boat, on the ocean. God how had she
starved, so hungry.
"So hungry..." She babbled.
Jack
used this second, hoping to get Elizabeth out of the way without
hurting her, perhaps there was a
chance to, at least, not hurt
her much, or even, get out of here without killing her. He was at
Wills side
within seconds, checking on his whelp quickly.
"Are
you okay?" He asked, earning a nod from his mute friend. "I
suppose you can't really walk..?"
Again, a silent wail and a
shake from the head of his friend, was enough answer for the pirate
to get
that the vampire did not really care that he could not
walk, but needed to get out of here. Ready to get
through more
pain to do so.
Elizabeth
watched
in mere confusion how the former pirate pulled the broken vampire
half way over
one shoulder, holding the seemingly younger male on
his legs with one arm around his shoulders.
She
remembered the face of both, and a castle, no, it was something like
a fort. And a cliff, that
she was fallen down, and more blue
water. Again this ship, and skeletons and many things more she
never
had even had nightmares of. It was far beyond that what her mind
could have taken in at this
point without drifting more into
insanity as it already was.
She
remembered Wills touch, his arms around her body and soft kisses on
her skin, followed by a
short pain in her neck and the vanishing
of every rational thinking in her world. He hand had wandered
to
the necklace that hung now around her neck, the red stone, glowing
brightly in the morning sun.
And she remembered more of the woman
in red, and that she had seen her on the railing of another
ship.
Laughing and waving goodbye to her. Than there was the hunger.
"So hungry.." She babbled again.
She shivered and put her arms around herself. "So lonely... and cold..."
Will
could hear her voice, her babbling and the movements of her dress,
for some odd reason he even
could feel her pain, more clearly
than his own. He pulled on Jacks jacket to stop the Pirate from
walking away from her.
"What's
wrong Will? Shall I let you down for a moment..?" Jack asked
whilst, Will pointed into the
direction he thought Elizabeth
would
be. Jack was not really sure If he should do what he thought Will
wanted him to do. "I am not sure... she's a vampire too...a
killer.."
Elizabeth
looked
up at the words of the pirate. "A killer?" It dawned on
her, that this broken vampire
indeed had killed her. That this
strange immortal beside him, was not innocent either on her messed
up mind and that the only thing she could do, to finally banish
the pictures in her mind, was killing them
both.
Jack
sighed. Will was in no shape to argue right now, neither was Jack
willing to do so, the vampire
would hate the pirate for this one,
would even try to break their agreement, but right now, not taking
Elizabeth along would be better. "We should go now..."
"KILLER!"
Elizabeth
roared
out, grabbing her knife tightly in her right hand to rush forward on
the
surprised males in front of her. Jack had to loose the
vampire at his side to jump out of the way,
pushing the women
away from them.
"Are you gone crazy!" He cried out, holding up the knife to defend Will and himself against her.
"He
KILLED ME! I LOVED HIM AND HE KILLED ME!" She screamed madly,
jumping forward again
to reach for Will. But again Jack could
step in and make her fall against the Angel that had been
Wills
place of punishment seconds ago.
She
was dizzy for a second but jumped in again, back to get Jack with the
knife she still held. Jack
moved to the side, and threw her back
against the Angel, growling ready to stab woman with his
knife,
but never meeting her flesh.
Will had moved in the way of the Pirate who stumbled back with a shocked face.
"Whelp?"
Jack
babbled, that could not be true he had just stabbed his best, and
only still remaining
friend; right through the heart, what meant
death after every single rule in the vampire world.
"It's okay Jack..." Will sighed, just before he went to his knees, giving Elizabeth free from his weight.
For
some odd reason the spell was broken, now, and he could speak again.
Only to tell his friend it
was okay that he had just damned him
to die in a few seconds. "Had to come like this..." He
finished
his words, with a last sigh, before turning to the same
ashes in Jack's arms.
The
pirate was beyond words, perhaps of shock or whatever, looking up at
the shocked face of
Elizabeth. Giving here something like an odd
smile before looking back on his blood drenched hands
and turning
over to the same ashes his friend had only seconds ago.
Elizabeth
was clutching the knife to her chest, totally insane now, throwing
the knife away into the
ashes at her feet with a scream loud
enough to send birds flying in fear even miles away, ripping the
necklace away from her neck, throwing it away in the roses close
behind to the Angel. She jumped
away from the Angel and went
running down the lane to the main gate.
She
threw herself into the arms of a man that just had come through the
door, making him loose the
roses he had brought for the grave he
had wanted to visit, before she started even more to scream
and
burn with flames and smoke that send even the innocent man into
fearful cries. Falling to the
ground in a pile of ashes like the
rose petals that danced in the wind.
A
man stepped out from under a tree where he had hid all the time,
outing himself as Arthur as he
came closer to the fallen Angel.
"Well
not the way I had planed it... but... it worked.. now it's time to
keep my part of the deal.." He
whispered to himself.
Kneeling down to the Angel to the pile of Ashes muttering some words
to
himself. rising something like electricity in the air, that
seemed to hum for a few seconds.
Minutes
past before he raised again, seemingly satisfied with whatever he had
done to the ashes and
what was laying there.
"Living happily ever after... as I promised..." he smiled and swaggered away.
