Chapter Twenty One: Pathway To Hearthfill
Colour Plane
Black's POV
Random images flashed before my eyes. Nothing made sense, nor did this fight. I had no control over my body except for my thoughts. Images. Hundreds and hundreds of images flickered like a book through my very eyes. Images of a blackened crystal, monsters of all sorts, myself and a strange man... A man who looked terrifyingly evil. But what does that mean? Another image popped up, being me dressed up in torn and burnt clothing sneered with blood inside of a flaming barn that held children of all sorts. I couldn't react one bit. I could not even lift a finger no matter how hard I tried. My body just kept on fighting against a strange shadowy figure inside of this bare land of white that my eyes failed to accept. But why am I seeing this... Suddenly, another image popped up... Oh how I wish I could cry and beg for me to never see such a thing ever in my entire life... It was me... I looked so weak... So vulnerable and so... Innocent... I was held, restrained by rope as that same man tried to do terrible things to me before another picture suddenly replaced that one... It was me, sending punch after punch to his face brutally as tears fled from my face before another image popped up... This time, it was me and White tied up and thrown into a blackened forest whilst a few terrifying creatures surrounded us, glaring their razor sharp teeth... Ready to sink those foul teeth deep into our flesh... Wanting out blood to squirt out and paint everything in crimson... What does this all mean?... And why am I seeing this?...
I want to know so badly...
Black's POV
My legendary blade of darkness, the Ezarca, was finally destroyed in the blink of an eye. But it's strange. My Ezarca was never that weak nor could it even fracture the slightest... Heck, her weapon must've weighed a good three hundred tones if she was able to break my Ezarca. Let alone COMPLETELY annihilate it from the face of the world. Literally, I've sliced and diced through minerals tougher than gold and yet not even a DENT was made on my blade when I did so! Like when I fought the Emerald Dragon! My blade completely sliced through like a hot knife through butter!... Gah! Why am thinking too much... And what was that dream I had last night?
"Hmm. Why is your blood warming?", Melody asked me in a sleepy, calming voice from right behind me, causing me to blink blankly and wonder why Melody was behind me, let alone hugging me to the point of suffocation for around my upper torso. "Are you thinking of something?". I slept on my left side, staring straight ahead at Nova and White who were fast asleep under the shade of a maple tree, both in natural positions as the girl from yesterday sat beside White's head, gently stroking her hair with a warm, friendly smile plastered across her face. The grass underneath us was soft and felt as comfortable as a mattress which allowed all of us to get a good night's sleep without waking up to back pains... But I'm just curious about something... Who was that girl that looked just like her? Twins maybe?... And what was that image of me being... Violated... "Your heats beating so fast, Black. Could it be that... You want to do naughty things with me?", Melody moaned in a seductive tone, causing my eyes to widen as my blood instant caught a blaze, forcing my face to turn a bright red due to embarrassment.
"H...Huh?", was my instant reply out of the sudden infestation of embarrassment that clogged my thoughts and veins, rendering my body to freeze as her arms tightened around me, literally squeezing the life out of me. I couldn't breathe, my chest burnt up and my right leg was wrapped by her fuzzy, light green tail that made a few good, tightly loops to ensure that escape was futile. Damn her... Always teasing me like that and punishing me with embarrassment!
"Hmm! Oh Black! Allow me to take your first time and send you to an ultimate paradise with the tips of my fingers. Or, would you rather prefer something else?", She moaned as she rubbed her body onto me from behind, causing my face to go as red as lava the moment her 'melons' pressed up against my upper back like super soft cushions, making my entire body tremble and freeze...
"H...hey... Melody, y...you can't be serious...", I muttered under the influence of the sheer embarrassment that held me by the neck and controlled my entire body with strings.
"I'm dead serious. It's always bothered me that as far as I can remember, you've been afraid of doing things to your own body and always isolating yourself from anything related... But Mindy deceived you and rammed you pretty hard, didn't she?...", She whispered into my right, light grey cat-like ear soothingly with a hint of seduction, causing my ear to jolt up as my blood boiled like bubbling magma still under pressure from all the carbon and hydrogen from underneath the earth, ready to explode at any given second.
"But-".
"It hurt, didn't it"...
I blinked blankly, staring directly at the child with the golden hair with trembling, broadened eyes before suddenly, her hair shot a deep, eternal black for less than a hundredth of a second... Argh... This must be the effect of this embarrassment that Melody is sedating me in! She didn't look up to me. All she did, was continue to stroke White's silky, white hair motherly as she smiled down at her pitifully... My best guess is that she's deeply regretting on what she had done to Vortex and many others for a good five to seven years... But why is completely unknown and HOW Vortex survived is completely uncanny to me.
"A lot... It was the most painful thing to ever happen to me", I whispered without any emotion, still staring blankly at the girl with broadened eyes due to the fact that Melody was STILL grasping tightly onto me like a spider, constricting it's prey before finally devouring it whole... Damn... What kind of an imagination do I have?...
As of now, I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place. I may have hope inside of me, but that doesn't mean that I don't have despair kept hidden deep within my black, crystallised heart... A terribly twisted kind of despair that could easily make even the most sane person fall to their knees...
"If it felt good, would you try it?", She asked me, causing my face to shoot blood red once again as that question burrowed itself deep into my cranium like a massive drill coated with diamond spikes. W...what is she asking me?!
"It depends on who...", I sighed warmly, closing my eyes softly for a brief second, remembering dearly about my dream last night at the part when White and I held hands...
"The one who you love, am I right?", She stated, not intending it to be a question as we both already knew the answer almost automatically.
"But that's the problem", I stated in a calm, quiet voice. "I love everyone a lot... But not THAT king of love. The kind where I just want to protect you all and make you happy to your heart's content".
"And everyone loves you. Heck, some people love you some much, that they hate you", She chuckled. "Also... Because you confessed your love to me... How about I rub it for you... Your sweet spot..."... E...EH!?
"H...Hey! I didn't confess anything to you! Don-AHHH!", I exclaimed upon feeling an unbelievable amount of pleasure and pain strike my heart like an electric current, causing my eyes to broaden and my pupils contract to tiny dots of light blue and light red... "MELODY!".
"Oh, what's this? Are you feeling it?", Melody asked into my right, light grey cat-like ear calmly, chilling my blood to negative zero as my face burnt as hot as magma. Heck, I bet it even looked like it! In between my legs, was her right hand, touching and softly rubbing my special spot through my black, feminine boxers which sent all sorts of feelings to attack my weak, fragile mind. It was hot, and began to feel slightly sticky for an unknown reason as my heart bashed at my chest like a ravaging animal wanting to be freed from containment. "How does it feel? Be honest... This is for your own good"...
"A...ah... How can it be for my own good?...", I moaned under the influence of the pain and pleasure filling up my entire body to the brim as Melody continued to rub my special spot gently, wanting to really be careful about how she treats me. This is impossible... The last time I did it, I couldn't even bare the pain... But why is it that now I'm able to feel the pleasure of it... Did I somehow get used to it?... Or is it because I've spent more time in this body than my other one?...
"Because I want you to not be afraid of things like this unless it's done by someone else to you. It's also to get you ready for upcoming things... Like how some beings just want you to become their wives and impregnate you forever until the day you die...", Melody explained in a rather dark manner... But still... It's strange for two girl to be doing this... Then again, I'm one to talk. I'd prefer a girl over anything else ANY DAY!... Especially one girl... A... Ah!... Dammit... I won't let her have me!
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO HER MELODY?!", A very familiar voice screamed from in front of me, instantly causing Melody to stop abruptly as my heart literally skipped a beat to how shockingly sudden it was... I readjusted my eyes, now able to see WHO it was... To my surprise, it was White... But not an ordinary White... Her light red eyes glowed slightly with anger and annoyance to Melody as she suddenly gripped TWICE as tightly onto me, including her tail, and placed her right hand onto my right thigh. My face shot blood red once again as I squirmed around, feeling her hand slowly slide up to my special spot inch by inch, making me let out a few embarrassing moans that Melody moaned to. A...ah... Why doesn't she stop... White's going to kill her if... Ahh... No... Why does it feel like this?... Dammit... "MELODY! IF YOU DON'T LET GO OF HER THEN I'LL GIVE YOU HELL!", White SCREAMED out in a fit of pure fury, causing Melody to giggle cutely before suddenly, she whispered something into my ear.
"I'll be back to make to feel good"... Gah! I have to get away from here! This is no place for me to be, ESPECIALLY because of her! Dammit... I feel so strange now that she stopped. Argh! What does she want from me?! I don't want this! "White, what make you think that you can easily defeat me without a weapon?", Melody asked... What?...
"Weapon?... H...huh?! What happened to my Moon's Rhythm?!"... Dammit Melody... She had this all planned out! She's smart... But not smarter than me!
"White! Use my blade! I left it behind the tree you slept under!", I exclaimed, burning hot red as Melody's fingers suddenly touched my spot softly, sending uncountable feelings of pleasure and pain into my very frail mind that couldn't even make out what was happening to me... Ahhh... This is so wrong...
"Haha! You do know that you BOTH kept your weapons back there, right?", Melody chuckled, slightly pulling my right thigh away from my left with her strong, furry light green tail that had the tip pressed deeply into my skin, forcing me to obligate to it's every moment less I want that thing to penetrate my skin... Gah... I don't want this... Not with her... Why is this even happening to me?! I just want... Someone who I love to do it... A...Ah! What did she just do to me?! N...no! She's it directly now! I can't allow her to... AHHHHH!
"MELODY!... S...stop it! Your fingers are cold and it hurts!", I moaned in a pitiful voice, trying to hold back the temptation of moans and yelps from escaping my lungs.
"Is that so? Then tell me why does your body react to it like you love it?"... T...That's not true... Y...you... Agh! MELODY!
"It... Doesn't...", I replied in a meek manner... I have to fight out of this... But this feeling is soo good... Ah! I can't let it win over my mind! I just can't... I don't want it to be addictive... Gah! "Ah! Please... Stop... I... I'll let you do this to me another time... Just not now...", I said, instantly feeling her right hand slide out of my underwear, nudging my pulled up miniskirt before leaving it to rest beside my face to the right. I grit my teeth slightly, regretting what I had said as the sweet smell of my bodily fluids conquered my nostrils with brute force, stinging my nose like acid which caused a few tears to form in the corner of my multicoloured eyes...
"Another time? Can I also be your first? And also as a male?", she asked in a seductive, horny voice passionately into my right, light grey ear before suddenly loosening her grip from around my body, allowing a flood of the cool, fresh oxygen enter my lungs as the lethal carbon dioxide left like vented steam.
"Don't answer her Black! There's no WAY that I'll let her touch you!", White announced in a commanding, confident voice as I stared up at her with a small smile plastered across my weak, white, delicate face.
"Ahaha! White, you must really want Black don't you! I mean, you ARE White Heart after all!", Melody teased.
"C...Can it!".
"Haha! Aww, you and Black look so adorable! If you weren't so protective and powerful, then I'd make sure that both you and my Black become mine!"... Melody is insane!... Or more like she's playing with White... But... The way she jokes is far too much to even be CONSIDERED as a joke... Like this one... Argh! I need to get some REAL fresh air and wash myself... I feel so dirty all thanks to the one and only, Melody!... Geez! I hope we get to where Vortex wants to take us cause I'm getting sick and tired of Melody touching me and teasing me all the time!... I hope that she's joking with me... Please be a joke...
The trees began to slowly clear off as we walked towards the exit of the oak wood forest, passing by many exotic flowers of all colours and many strange, wandering animals that watched us from great distances, poking their heads out from the side of the light brown, rough oak trees. White and Melody agreed to both lead the group strangely after a long debate on what not to do to me and what she can do... But for whatever reason, White agreed that Melody can STILL embrace me as other as she wants to as long as she isn't doing anything bad to me... The sun blazed like a molten fireball high above in the sky, shining down warm, bright rays of sunlight that covered most of the land.
Nova and Vortex decided to both be in the middle of the group, seen that those two get a long pretty well, and finally, me and the girl were the last of the group, just following them around until we make it out. From what Vortex said, there should be a large bridge on the other side as well as some sort of guardian that defends it with it's life. I sighed warmly, blinking twice as I looked to my right, staring at the girl who looked about fourteen years old smiling back at me vividly with her head tilted to the left slightly. My heart warmed up upon seeing her amazing face, causing me to smile back at her in a friendly manner before her pink, soft lips slowly parted and showed a very tiny portion of her slimy pink tongue along with her sparkling white teeth.
"Black... Is there anyone you like?", She asked me in an innocent, cheerful manner that made my smile broaden my an inch due to how adorably beautiful she was.
"Umm... Does it count of that persons dead?", I asked rather strangely, watching her walk slowly up to me with slightly widened, orangey eyes that looked sweet enough to eat. A cool, gentle breeze blew from the left, shaking the light green leaves of the wood back and forth, creating a soothing melody that introduced an amazing amount of calmness that filled up my very being to the brim.
"Nope", she replied childishly, making me laugh for a split second as the calming breeze came to an end, reeling back in the stiff silence of this endless forest almost immediately.
"I like and love you all, but not that kind of love. But there's one person who I have a lot of feelings towards... A very special person to me", I replied honestly, watching her press her left shoulder onto my right as she held both of her hands behind her. Haha! I just love how she looks! "Anyway, do you have a name?".
She jolted up in electricity, suddenly ceasing her walk with widened eyes as she stared down at the ground with pure shock, instantly making me turn around and face her, standing right in front of her with a worried look and a small smile.
"Name...", she whispered to herself, barely audible. I blinked blankly and raised both my hands to her shoulders, gently placing them on which caused her to gasp in fright to my sudden movement, darting her eyes and head straight towards me as we stared into each other's eyes with passion. "I don't like mine... It sounds weird...", She whispered.
"Then I'll make you a new one", I stated, causing her eyes to widen as her mouth curved into a bright smile that warmed my heart like a furnace that came straight out of the underworld. "How about shine? Even if you have despair inside of your heart, you still shine as bright as a million stars", I said to her.
"Hmm! I love it!", She exclaimed like a violent reaction of a bundle of chemicals, smiling brightly before suddenly, she shook off both my hands from her shoulders with an intense sway of her body before charging up to me, plunging
her face deep into my chest as her arms wrapped around my waist EXCRUCIATINGLY tightly. Argh... My... Intestines feel like they're going to rupture! "I still can't thank you enough for waking me up back there... I feel like I really do shine whenever I'm with you".
"No problem, I ho-".
"GUYS! STOP KISSING OVER THERE AND HURRU UP!", One excruciatingly loud voice echoed from behind us, sounding identical to Melody's... Damn her! Is she trying to embarrass us?! "WE FOUND THE BRIDGE!".
"Melody! Watch out!", I heard White scream in fright and out of desperation right before the ground slightly shook along with the sound of an intense explosion... An ambush? Wait... The guardian! Geez! Can't we EVER take a break from fighting?! Looks like I'm going to have to go in loud. And by loud, I mean REAL fucking loud! I just want ONE day of pure peace!
I spun around, breaking free of Shine's blazing embrace as I grit my teeth angrily, feeling my blood begin to boil as my mind only had one thing for common sense... The need to kill that thing no matter the cost... I know well on what my Night's Melody can do and I won't hesitate to use it!
Milk's POV
What the hell!? First an earthquake and now I'm hearing explosions!? What's going on at that bridge?
"Milk! Can't you go faster!?", Chaos screamed at me in a serious tone of voice.
"If I could then I would!", I yelled back at her, gripping twice as hard onto the charcoal black, carbon fibre steering wheel of the military jeep that we rode towards the bridge in order to destroy the 'Guardian' before anyone gets hurt. According to what that Sir whatever guy told us back at Hearthfill, he specifically stated that we had to fend off whatever is currently fighting against it no matter what. He even put a gruesome example about even if it is children, we'd STILL have to kill them... He's crazy and beyond sane if you ask me!
The road we took was straight forward and had not one obstacle. Just like train tracks... The air rushed against all of our faces, stinging our eyes as ANOTHER explosion sounded from dead ahead, plunging more and more curiosity into my sane mind.
"Sino! What do you see!?", Chaos asked loudly, beating the whistling air in decibels right before Sino answered almost immediately.
"I can't make out the faces of who's there, but what I can see is a giant clunk of metal! It's the Guardian!", Sino yelled as we passed by a few daunting, spooky charcoaled trees that literally WALKED the same direction we were heading towards... The bridge! They must want to get rid of the Guardian so that they won't have any worries when repopulating! These bastards!
"Where's Frost or Black when you need 'em!?", Chaos exclaimed, before another explosion sounded from much more closer now... Almost there! Just a little more! "Sino, fill us in!".
"Rodger! I see six female figures in total. Two of them are teaming up against the Guardian. One has White hair", She announced... White hair? "Pink, green, dark purple, gold and black!"... Good. Non of them sound anywhere NEAR familiar. And plus, they all sound relatively simple to defeat... But I won't be killing them. No way in hell! I'm the type to do such a thing.
"Who are fighting it!?", Chaos asked loudly.
"The ones with black and white hair! They're both charging endless rounds of explosive sniper rounds without even reloading! What kind of sniper rifles do they have!?", She cried... Sniper rifles... The only person who I know who uses one I Sino and Blue. That's all... But then again, I remember when Frost wanted a sniper... But that doesn't mean anything right now! "N...No way..."...
"What!? Tell us what's going on!?", Chaos demanded.
"Her gun just transformed into a red and black sword! And her left hand is surrounded with a black flame!"... A dark user?... Damn... We REALLY need Black or Frost here right now!... This fight is going to be really, really damn bloody!
