NEW EPISODE, ENJOY :D, WE'RE ALMOST DONE, ONLY 2 CHAPTERS AFTER THIS :3
Chapter 11: The Other Half
Cat and Vincent where running at full speed towards the amusement park to save Jade, the town was covered by the darkness and the monsters where swarming all over the place,
the redhead gave vincent the steel pipe because it was too heavy for her and because he was pretty good at taking down monsters with it.
Everything around Cat made her fell uneasy, like if she already lived all that things in a distant past.
After a few hours they managed to see the park in the far, again, Cat shruddered at it's sight, but she just ignored it since it happened really often lately.
"Finally we're here!" gasped Cat a little relieved "I never thought i'll be able to make it this far!"
"Well, it was obvious" said Vincent smiling "you're the half of..." but yet again. Cat didn't knew what she was the half of, because Vincent dragged her to a near alley, Several people with black clothes and gas
masks were standing near the entrance "Damn it" said him "They knew you would come here"
"Who?" said Cat confused
"The order soldiers" answered Vincent pointing the masked people with his head "They follow Claudia's orders, she knew you'll come here one day"
"And now what we're going to do?!" asked the redhead a little scared "If they trap us i won't be able to save Jade!"
Vincent didn't answered right away, he was thinkfully staring at the entrance, then he smiled a little bitterly and looked at Cat resigned, the girl knew what would happen...
"I guess i have no choice" said him with a weak smile "i'll distract them"
"But what if you get caught?!" said Cat worried, she didn't wanted Vincent to have the same luck as Cybil
"Then something terrible will happen to me" said him smiling naturally "But at least i helped you to defeat the order, besides, who would you preffer to save?, that friend you know from a few years or a completly stranger you met on a cursed town?"
"My friend" answered her a little ashamed "But isn't there another way to save us all?"
"I'm afraid it isn't" said Vincent nodding firmly "besides, if you vanish the order, i will dissapear too, so basically you can say i'm dead already, what's the point of saving me?"
"...Kay kay" said Cat sadly since she couldn't find another way to save him
"Well" said Vincent shaking a little "I will catch their attention, when i'm far enough, rush towards the carousel, it'll take you to the order's sanctuary"
Cat agreed still depressed, Vincent put his hand on the girl's shoulder and smiled
"It was a pleasure to meet you Cat" said him "Now i know everyone without exception has a good side, even her"
And, before Cat could say anything else, he rushed out the alley screaming to catch the masked people attention, Cat saw him rushing towards the streets as all the people chased him, she waited a few more seconds and then she came out of the alley
and rushed towards the amusement park entrance, she didn't stop to see if someone was chasing her or to contemplate the park, all she had in mind was to arrive to the carousel and save Jade, again an uneasy sensation assaulted her mind and suddenly, everything made sense...
Everything what happened to her in the last few minutes was exactly as in the nightmare that took her there: the persons with gas masks, the town getting darker, the carousel, everything.
When she realized that, she turned around and she was actually being chased by several people with gas masks, but she didn't stopped, she arrived the carousel and she climbed it as the people with the gas masks gathered around, then she knew what would happen next and she shivered.
The horses of the carousel were replaced by hanging, alive decaying bodies, and as soon as Cat stepped on it, it started spinning and the ring of fire covered the masked persons, as the carousel went faster, the redhead tried to get off because she knew what would happen next, but she had no escape,
she couldn't go through the flames around her, she'll have to stay and fight that shadow from her darkest nightmare.
Cat stood still, waiting for the shadow to appear and shivering every often, and then, from between the 2 nearest hanging bodies, the shadow raised from a black hole on the ground, but this time it wasn't undefined as in her nightmare, it had a shape... a known shape: a little girl with blue dress and long, messy black hair,
her pale face was covered with dirt and blood, Alessa was standing there with her usual shady smile, but then her image suddenly dissorted and it transformed: it was an exact copy of Cat, even her clothes, but her clothes were covered with stain and blood
besides, Alessa's skin was completly white, her lips and hair were deep black and her eyes were really dark brown and didn't had that glow from Cat's rich brown eyes, they were empty and cold.
"Alessa..." said Cat gasping
"My daughter, sister and self" said her with Cat's voice, but Alessa's sounded low pitched, deeper and kinda demonic
"What?!" said Cat really confused "So i was... your other half?" Alessa agreed slowly without stop grinning
"Why do you think that Pyramid head saved you from Leonard?" asked the girl "He's our guardian, that's why he appeared when you asked for help"
"So..." said the redhead stil confused "I used to be inside Alessa?" Alessa agreed smiling
"I gave you life, so you could live my dream" said her walking slowly towards Cat "You were the part of me that could be free of this pain, the part that could live and feel love! that girl, Jade, could explain it to you, if she wasn't caught"
"You mean..." said Cat forcing her brain to understand "You feel nothing?"
"NOTHING BUT HATE!" screamed Alessa angry
"They say" commented the redhead "you're evil"
"They are right" answered her smiling shadly as usual
"So you created this horrible dark version of the town to get revenge from all those who hurted you?" Asked the redhead, suddenly it was like if some memories that wasn't hers popped inside her head
"Exactly, I'm Dark Alessa after all" said Alessa grinning evily "They threw me into this nightmare, now I am theirs!"
"You know what?" said Cat a little annoyed and angry for the first time in a really long time "I'm really sorry about what happened to you, but it wasn't my fault and i have to save My friend"
"She's not my friend!" said Alessa "Or yours, And sacrifices have to be made..."
"GO TO HELL!" Screamed Cat with anger, like if that was the worst thing she could ever say, Alessa laughed bitterly and raised her hands
"Can't you see...?" said her looking around with a shady grin "We're already here... and you're not welcome, Do you think i won't destroy you?"
"How can you?" said Cat worried "i'm you!"
"So what?" said Alessa
Cat gasped because she knew Alessa would try to burn her, and then she did something really stupid or really brilliant, she ran towards Alessa and hugged her waist, Cat shivered as she felt she was hugging a living ice block
Alessa was shocked, for a second she frozen, but then, she smiled bitterly
"I told you" said with her deep voice "i feel nothing such as love or compassion, just hate, this won't save you"
"Who says i'm hugging you because of that?" said Cat gripping as hard as she could from Alessa's ice cold waist "If you want to destroy me, we'll both be destroyed!"
"Clever girl" said Alessa smiling "But do you think...? What...? What's happening?!"
Alessa's white skin started to get the peach color from Cat's, as Cat's skin became grey and decaying, Alessa's eyes glowed as Cat's became darker and colder, Alessa's hair became velvet red as Cat's became bright black
"What are you doing?!" screamed Alessa with Cat's normal voice
"I'm getting my other half back before it consumes me!" answered Cat with the deep and low pitched voice "that way you can be happy and you will be able to feel, like me"
"How do you know i won't take over your mind?!" said Alessa a little scared, she was getting transparent and fusing with Cat
"Because i am you, and you are me" said Cat, her voice was going back to normal but it was still a little low pitched "nobody knows us better than ourselves. Come on Alessa, it's time to live your dream"
The carousel started spinning even faster and it sank into the ground, like a gigantic elevator, the ring of fire covered it for a second.
Both Alessa and Cat screamed like if they were in pain, slowly, Alessa turned into a transparent shadow and fused with Cat, who shivered as the fusion was over, Cat felt like if something she always missed finally was inside her.
"Now i'll save Jade" said Cat to herself (or Alessa, she wasn't sure at all at that point), while looking at the seal, for some reason she felt braver than ever "She risked her life for me and i'll do the same for her, Besides, Vincent and Cybil sacrified theirs for me to have this chance and i won't fail them"
