I skipped valuable homework time to write this for you so you better be greatful. I hope you enjoy even if you aren't though.
Taking down the guards were easy now that Gaara had his sand back.
He relished the joy of being able to use his sand again, it was like having an arm cut off when he couldn't use it. He knew he had a short time limit, but so long as he had his sand he wasn't a vulnerable weakling and he was going to use that fact to destroy everything that pissed him off. That included the bastard that kidnapped Scarlett if he found him.
First he had to find her however so he finished of the guards and continued silently through the building. Behind a locked door an overpowering smell of blood reached his nose. He made short work of the locks with his sand and continued cautiously inside, closing and locking the doors behind was a small, dimly lit room with deteriorating boxes and other sheet covered lumps.
Scarlett hung on the far wall. She was chained by her wrist and ankles, blood oozing out of wounds from where she had struggled, staining her clothes and mixing with black ooze when it dripped down her feet. She still wore the blindfold but it was bloodied as well. Her head hung to the side awkwardly and for a minute Gaara thought her dead, but then there was a shaky moving of her chest when he looked closer and he swallowed his rage.
He needed to keep a level head. Clover appeared in front of Scarlett suddenly and started trying to undo the chains that held her to the wall. Gaara went to step forward to help but his sand moved in front of him with a soft hiss of moving grains warning him of danger. He scanned the room and could sense something threatening near where Clover was. Gaara stepped back into the shadows and watched quietly, waiting.
"Damit."
Clover whispered as she tried to break the chains. Scarlett groaned but stayed asleep, exhausted and weak from loss of blood.
"My dear Clover, so nice of you to join my little party."
Adam said stepping out of his hiding place. A giant chimera stood next to him staring at Clover hungrily. Adam noticed the wary look that Clover gave the animal and smiled.
"Like my newest pet?" He asked giving the animal a loving pat on its massive neck.
"Fuck off." Clover said throwing a kunai at him.
The chimera lunged at the same time and caught the knife in its mouth like a dog would catch a stick. It turned back to Clover but Clover was gone. She reappeared behind the animal and managed to stab the thing in it eye before it tossed her to the ground. It then proceeded to give an animalistic scream before slamming a clawed foot on her chest.
"Alive." Adam addressed the animal and it removed its foot and kneeled down so Adam could look at his eye.
"You'll live. Go and get Kole for me." He said and the animal growled before running into a side room.
"Now my dear." Adam said when the Chimera was gone.
"I see you managed to survive the ambush I set up for you. It's a shame, I had hoped to spare you from seeing this."
Clover gasped on the floor clearly in pain but her eyes shot daggers at the silver haired man above her. Adam gripped the woman by her hair and pulled her into a standing position. He then half dragged half dragged half carried Clover over to stand in front of Scarlett. He dropped Clover to the ground and went to Scarlett, brushing a piece of hair out of his granddaughters face.
The Chimera returned pushing Kole in front of him impatiently.
"Ahhh, there you are. I want you both to see this. Turn Clover so that she can see. I don't think the poor dear can do it herself."
Kole did as he was told and held up Clover, forcing her to stare the bloody mess of her daughter. The chimera took a seat next to them glancing every so often at them to make sure they weren't doing anything her could bite them for.
"Behold, my portal. She's almost perfect isn't she? Shame that she had to take after you Kole, she would be so much better off, and I wouldn't have to be forcing so much out her in such a short time."
Kole stayed quiet, Clover tried to say something but the chimera wacked her in the side with its tail winding her, so she just spit blood at Adams feet.
"So impolite. I thought I had taught you better." Adam said shaking his head.
"Well bad parenting aside, let's have a demonstration."
He turned to Scarlett and drew a symbol in the air in front of her. Symbols identical to the ones Gaara had found in his living room glowed in a ghastly red circle around her. The ooze at her feet started crawling up her body until it reached her mouth. The room was then filled with an ear piercing scream as Scarlett awoke and began struggling like a mad woman against her chains, reopening her wounds. The ooze went into her mouth and retracted again falling at her feet suddenly as if it had become too heavy to hold itself up. Scarlett screaming quieted down into sobs and the girl shivered against the wall tears mixing with the blood that ran down her face.
The ooze suddenly formed into a bat like creature and flapped around the room once before landing on Adams shoulder.
"She screams so much louder when I send them to our world." Adam said petting the little bat creature sounding almost disappointed.
Kole did his best to keep his face neutral while Clover had her eyes squeezed shut like she was trying to wake up from a nightmare.
Gaara's body shuddered with rage, the echo of Scarlett's screams ringing in his ears.
"Let me show you." Adam said moving towards Scarlett again.
He raised his arm start the summoning process again and found sand wrapped around it like a snake. He stared at it puzzled until it constricted causing the bones in his arm to start making sharp popping noises. He yelled and tried to brush the sand off but it would budge. Gaara emerged from his hiding place, with a deadly look in his eyes. The sand poured off of Adam and came back to Gaara encircling him lovingly.
"You! You should be dead." Adam exclaimed glaring at Gaara with just as much hatred.
Kole took Adams slight distraction as his cue to inject Clover with something before jumping up at Adam with a much more deadly object than a needle. Adam dodged and the Chimera interfered getting the full brunt of a knife in its neck. It kept attacking however even with the thick black ooze pouring out of him. "Traitor." Adam yelled. The bat creature joined in attacking Kole as well and he was overwhelmed. Gaara started to help him but then Clover was up.
"Finish him." She yelled at Gaara while jumping on the back of the chimera. Gaara turned to Adam who smiled wickedly at him.
"You really think you can defeat me little boy?" He asked.
Gaara gave him a malicious smile back and sent his sand flying towards him. Adam's ooze met it half way making sticky mess on the floor as the two entities collided and fell to the ground. Gaara lunged after him only to be stopped by Adam holding a knife to Scarlett's throat.
"Ah, ah, ah we forget who has the upper hand here." He said and pressed the knife deeper and Scarlett whimpered.
"I don't even have to slit her throat completely. She's lost so much blood already one good cut and she'll finish bleeding to death before you can reach me."
Gaara glared unsure of what to do. In all his years he had never been in a situation where someone else mattered more than him. He looked at Scarlett, a bloody mess of a girl chained to a wall, whimpering helplessly, and instead of being repulsed, all he could think was 'please don't die'. He stood motionlessly hearing the phrase repeat in his head and glared at Adam helplessly.
"That's a good boy." Adam said pulling the knife away from Scarlett's throat.
He then used it to draw his summoning symbol in the air in front of her. Immediately Scarlett started screaming and thrashing about. Kole rammed into Adam suddenly and Clover limped over towards Scarlett wipeing an ooze covered blade on her jeans.
"Make it stop." She yelled at Adam who was now being pinned down by Kole.
"I wouldn't even if I could." He replied laughing hysterically.
All Gaara could hear was the sound of Scarlett shrieking, the horrible noise of it swimming around his head making it hurt. The sound of her screaming and 'please don't die' repeated over and over until something inside him snapped. The next few minutes were a blur. He could feel his fists making contact with something, and the sound of bones snapping.
Then everything went black, and finally there was silence.
