A/N: Hey guys, this chapter may take a bit of gore,just a warning. Either 9 will be crazy hungry of blood or just crazy and there might be painful torturing. Hope this chapter great.
Chapter Seven: What are you?
'9,come on! Can't we just leave this kingdom and get out of here?'
'No.' Over a few weeks,Pip kept asking me if we could leave the kingdom and go out into the forest. But I made a promise to Smaug I wouldn't leave his kingdom or else he would kill me.
'9,it's asleep, we could just take a nice trip to the forest then we come back in the morning before the dragon is awake.'
'Still,it's a no. How will we really know if he's really asleep? What if he's just faking.'
'...Could we go to the forest now?' When will this little spider ever learn!
'NO!'
'...You did say that vampires go really fast,like super speed.' Point taken. Vampires do go really fast,but I still don't know if it's a good idea to go out to the forest.
'...Pip,if we get caught by Smaug,you have to show yourself to him so that I don't get roasted.'
'What!? No way, I am not showing myself to the dragon. It'll crush me! Dragons know spiders very will,they don't like it when we mess with there minds and thoughts. That's why we are terrified of them.'
'Alright,alright. I won't force you to show yourself to Smaug. If I die,you're dying with me.'
'Deal.' I let Pip crawl on my arm and put him inside my bag. I speed towards the exit from the kingdom and pasted by Dale and Lake town until I got to land. I look back at Erebor and took a deep breath and let it out.
"Alright, Pip. You're ready?"
'Yeah! Ready as always.'
Me and Pip continued to walk around in the forest,to admitted its actually not a bad idea to go out at night. Peaceful night,stars twinkling,it's not bad at all.
"Gotta handed out to you,Pip,this is not a bad idea."
'See? You were so worried that the dragon might wake up and kill you,but look at this. You're still alive,no dragon around here.'
"Yeah,yeah. Do you think we should head back or...just a quick run to see what else this place have?"
'Hmm,the second one.'
"Alright,hold on tight!" I started to run again and passed by many trees,flowers, and many other things. I couldn't even imagine how long I've been inside that kingdom. "Pip! We should do this tomorrow while Smaug is asleep!"
'Great idea!' he yelled as he hangs on my bag. I started to slow down and look around to see where we at. I couldn't tell what this place is. It looked like a town but destroyed.
"Pip,what is this place?" I ask and start walking around the town.
'I'm not sure? It almost looks like this place is for the elves.' Wait,what. Why would elves live here? I don't know is Pip is really right or wrong. I mean,people could build this place for New Zealand for all the Hobbit and Lord of the rings fan's but I guess they think it wasn't a good idea and just decide to destroy it.
"You sure Pip? Cause I don't think-"
'Get down!' I felt a sharp bit into my neck I nearly screamed but quickly got down behind a wall.
"Ow! Pip,what the hell-!"
'SHHH! We got trouble!'
"Whaav do lat avhink you're doing?!" We both heard and I quickly shut my mouth. I peek a bit over the wall and saw...Orcs! We saw an orc backing away from a taller orc.
'Pip,do you think he's the chief?'
'H-H-He might be.'
"S-ukorrausan kri-krisur! Jiak didn'av know-!" Before the orc say any last of his words,the chief grabbed his neck and twisted it,making it the sound go 'Snap' and drop the body while the other orc's cowered in fear from him. Including me and Pip!
"Whaav ayh lat gith lookaumn aav?! Geav kurrauz avo work!" The chief said or whatever he said made the orcs get back doing something.
'9! We have to get out of here!'
'No shit sherlock!' I started to walk quietly away from the orcs until I made a loud noise from the walls.
"An inavruder!"
'Shit! Pip,hold on tight! What ever you do,don't come out of the bag!' I grab my sword behind me and start running away from the orcs. A few orcs blocked my path so I use my sword and sliced off there heads. This is the very first time I used this! Or even killed someone,but at least it was a orc instead an human. I kept running away from them,slicing them into pieces and trying to hard to survive from them!
'9! Where are we going?!'
'I have no idea! But as long as we get away from them!'
I didn't notice one of the orcs managed right behind me. The orc pulled my hair hard while I screamed in pain until I felt something sharp pain on my neck. The orc lets me go on the ground while the other catch up. I try to get up and fight but I felt myself to weak.
"Kri-krisur,whaav ukhould kulknej do wiavh avhe girl. Drepa lav-li?" One of the orc's said with a smirk.
"No. Kulknej ukhould thrak lav-li avo our maukavas. Najor evinaj wanav avo know um ''ukhe'uk'' avhe ni." The chief said and everything went black.
Dream
"So,you're saying you have power's?"
"Yep." 9 said as she and Jenny walking through the halls in middle school.
"Cool. When do you think-" Jenny was cut short when she accidentally bumped into someone and caused both of them to fall down." Oh, my god! I am so sorry!" She said then noticed papers and books on the ground. She reached out to get them but a hand landed on her hand. She looks up and saw green eye's staring back at her blue eyes.
"...Um,are you guys awake or something?" 9 said and snapped both of them out there staring. "Let us help you pick up your stuff...uh?"
"Winston."
"Winston,that a nice name. My name's 9 and this is Jenny." She said and start helping Winston getting his stuff.
Four months later
"Winston,stop asking me out for a date." 9 groan as she tried to get away from Winston in the cafeteria.
"Come on. Please! It will be fun." Winston beg.
"Why don't you ask Jenny or any other girl's."
"...Please?"
After school
"Jenny,when are you going to ask Winston to hang out? He kept being annoying to me!" 9 said as she played with Jack.
"Look,I know he's being annoying and asking you for a million dates but I don't think I'm not ready yet."
"Jenny,you have a crush on him ever since you first met him. I'm pretty sure your ready,and I think Winston is just asking me out to make someone jealous."
"Hmm,could be."
"Also,he knows I'm half vampire. Doesn't he know's what limit he's on? I'm nearly there to eat him. And he'll be my first human I ever eat."
"I know,I know" Just then the baby started to cry.
"Jenny,is it time for his nap?"
"(Sigh) Yes. It's okay Jake,your big sister is here." Jenny picks him up and tried to get him to sleep but nothing seem's to work. "9,could you help me?"
"This will coast you for a cake." She said then took Jake out of Jenny's hand and head outside in the backyard. 9 started to hum a little music to the baby and put Jake on the soft glass where he couldn't get hurt. She waved her hand and out came water from nowhere. She suddenly send earth from the ground and used the air to hold both water and air. She circled her hand around and made a huge floating water ball in the middle around the rocks."Jenny,get the glowing ball." 9 whispered as she noticed the baby is starting to fall asleep. When Jenny brought the ball out,9 used air to get the ball of of Jenny's hands and placed in the center of the water then start spinning it around. She heard Jenny putting on a music from her phone. "Psst. Jenny." She said and look over at her. Jenny noticed and quickly tip toe over to her brother and gently pick him up. When she got inside the house 9 dropped the water to the ground including the rocks and the glowing ball. She pick up the ball and went back inside. "The cake?" 9 ask as she shut the door and walk into the kitchen.
"Here. Why do you do cake instead of money?"
"Cause cake is so delicious." She said as she stuffed the cake in her mouth.
"Whatever you say,9," Jenny said with a smile.
Dream ended
"Nalkramal iuk avhe avool?!"
"R-righav katu." I heard voices around me. I open my eyes and gasp. The orc chief was here and right beside him must be his assistant. I tried to get up and fight but suddenly I felt chains around my arms and legs to a metal table. I begin to panic and trash around but no matter what I tried,it didn't work.
"So lat have finalpak ukavopped?" The chief said as he grabbed some kind of tool out the orc hand and told him to leave.. The tools had something very sharp on both side's at the end and a glass on top around the metal.
"S-stay away from me!" I yelled and tried to get out of this. The chief came towards me and put the tool around my arm. I kept yelling and telling him to let me go but then I saw him pull the handle and the tools beginning to cut the skin on my arm. I screamed and tried to pull my arm away put when ever I move,it kept getting more cuts. I saw the tool start to suck in something inside the glass,I realized it was my blood. The chief push the tool deeper into my arm,it caused me to scream more and a bit amount of blood loss. When I saw the tool was filled up,he took it out and walk away while my arm is still bleeding before I felt my eyes started to shut.
"Lavor beavavas be avhe ni avhiuk avime."
Pip's Pov:
As the chief left,I was so scared what to do next! 9 is literally bleeding to that tool just did. This is all my fault. We shouldn't have come outside,why did I even want to go outside?!
'Okay,calm down,Pip. You just need to focus and get 9 out of this place.'
I started to crawl out of 9's bag and climb up the table and reached towards 9 body. I clawed over to her neck and stab her with my claw's like I did from the abandoned town. Good thing I'm not poisonous,right?
"Ow! Hey, I said-"
'Shh! 9,It's me!'
'Pip? Oh thank god your alive. Wait,why are you still here with me?'
'I just couldn't leave you here. Your the only friend I ever had.'
'Aww. That's nice Pip...Do you think you could get me out of these chains?' I crawled over around her neck and saw something on her chest.
'9,what's that?' I ask and got closer to it.
'What's...Pip,get that necklace and use it around the chains.' I did as I was told and took it to her arms first. Once I did,9 stood up and did the rest of the chains on her legs while I go inside her bag. 'Okay,Pip. Let's get out of here.' She said and grabbed the bag and off we left.
"Pip,how long was I in there?" 9 ask me as she runs in the forest. But not as fast as she uses to when the chief made her lose some of her blood from her.
'Um...About...two days.'
"WHAT! Two days!? Pip,Smaug is going to kill me!"
'...Will,how will we know if its really is going to kill you. It could be still sleeping.'
"Pip,I know for sure he is definitely not-"
'Look out!' I yelled and stab her in her neck to make her fall down. An arrow came by and nearly missed her.
"Afavas lav-li! Don'av leav lav-li eukcape!" We both herd the chief said and more arrows came around. 9 was about to run but more orcs blocked our way.
'Pip,stay in the bag and don't try to leave.' She said then took her sword out and threw the bag with me inside to a tree. I crawled out a bit and see what's going on. I saw 9 kept dogging from attacks and slicing their heads off. But more and more kept coming towards her,she's not going to make it! Suddenly, I felt a powerful wind coming towards us. I look up to 9 and saw her waving her hands in circles, earth have appeared out of her hand's with sharp spear's and start throwing them at the orcs. I saw something in 9's eyes,her eye's where as red as blood! I never seen her like this before. This might be here angry mode since she just throw spear rocks towards a orc's eyes,making him bleeding him to death! I was so concentration to 9 I didn't notice one of the orcs was behind her and hit her in the back of her head. 9 fell towards the ground,trying to get up but I could tell she can't continued.
"Take lav-li kurrauz avo avhe avowas. Lavor'uk avhe ni our maukavas been lookaumn for." The chief said.
When the orcs were about to pick her up, a roar was heard that nearly had the orcs cover their ear's. After the roar,fire suddenly spread around the tree's,there was a sound of chomp and screaming. We all lookup and saw a shadow with a screaming orc,when something hard crushes the orc,it snapped in half.
"T-avhe kulkodar. . . I-iavuk ukavill alive. . ." One of the orc's said,having the fear the dragon might eat him next.
'um...is that...'I said as I wimped.
'Yep...Its Smaug...and he's angry...' 9 thought. The orcs screamed in fear when the dragon start breathing fire on them. Some orcs tried to fight it and some orcs ran in fear. 9 noticed the chief started to run in fear from the dragon. She punched the ground and made the ground crack a bit until it reached to the chief foot and trapped him so he wont continued to run. She got up from the ground and charged at the chief by his neck. Her teeth sinks down into the fresh of the chief while he screams in pain and fell to the ground. He try to crawl away from her but she didn't let him go. Her mouth open wide with sharp teeth's like knives and struck her mouth into the chief's chest. The chief yelled in pain,calling his crew to help him but they were to scared for their own lives. She took her head out of the chiefs chest and out came with her was the chief heart in her mouth.
"W-w-whaav...avhe skator...a-are lat..." he said and spat out his own blood. 9 chomped the heart that it splatter all over her face and the chief then swallowed it.
"You...should never hurt a beast, like me." 9 said and left the dead chief on the ground.
'Pip,are you okay?' She said as her eyes turn back to normal and grabbed her sword then head towards me.
'...D-did you j-just k-kill the chief...'
'Yes,Pip. I did. ...Sorry, you have to see that.' Just then we heard a growl,9 quickly grab the bag and put it around her then look up to an angry dragon.
"You!" the dragon yelled in front of her. "What were you thinking!"
"S-Smaug...I-I can explain-"
"Explain?! Explain why you escaped my kingdom,even though you knew I would kill you?!"
"Smaug,Please listen to me!"
"Listen to you?! Why would I ever listen to a creature like you."
"W-what?"
"I saw you with those powers. The way you pushed the wind,making earth crack from the ground. I should have known I brought a freak into my kingdom."
"I-I...I'm sorry." She said and I could tell her mood is sad. I guess 9 really don't like to break a trust to some one.
"(Sigh) Such a headache." the dragon said then reached out its mouth and shut it's teeth around 9's hood then took off frying.
'9...9,are you okay?' I ask. She didn't speak a word.
I didn't know how long we were in the air. I can tell 9 is scared for her life,probably thinking what the dragon might do to her. The dragon has finally landed somewhere and puts 9 down,I saw her hug her knees and had her eyes closed. I even saw her tear's coming down her face collided with the blood on her face.
"(Sigh) You're so tensed." the dragon said.
"Huh?" She looks up and saw the dragon staring down at her.
"You don't have to curl up like that...Although,it is...cute." the dragon moved out of the way and laid down right beside her. 9 look forward and saw we were at a river.
"W-why...a-aren't you-"
"This is your last chance to stay alive. If you try to escape again,you will never see the light ever again."
"...Okay." She said and didn't know what to do next. I noticed some scratches and bleeding scars on the dragon. That may be a problem to the dragon if they get affected.
'9.'
'Huh?'
'The dragon's wounds.' She looks over and saw the wounds too. 'What do you think we should do?'
'...Please, he won't get mad for this.'
'9,what are you doing?'
"S-smaug...y-your wounds...it's still bleeding...you need them to be treated." bad idea,9.
"(Growled) Is this one of your trick's to escape and get yourself killed by orcs again?"
"No,no. I-I'm not doing that. I'm doing this for real." She said then walk up to the wood and pick out some berry's from the bushes,a big leaf,then came back to the river and waved her hand and let the water floats towards her to the leaf then smashed the berry's together on the leaf and came toward's the dragon. The dragon was a bit surprise from that sight but shook it off. "This may hurt so bear with me."
"What are you-" right before the dragon say anything else,she put the leaf on the dragon's wound's then the dragon roared in pain. It faced towards 9 with that angry look again which caused her to move the leaf away from its wound's.
"That hurt's!"
"I told you it would hurt!" 9 yelled back.
"This wouldn't have happened if you haven't escaped from my mountain!"
"I wasn't-"
"Did you think I won't notice you were trying to escape! Trying to go back to your pathetic family!? Seeing your lovely mother and father?! There probably forgotten about you,they probably never missed you,they probably-"
"There probably dead because they were murdered!" 9 outburst in front if the dragon and the area. That made the dragon quiet. "I loved my parent's more than anything,and now they were taken away from me! I never get a chance to even tell them I loved them! They were the only people who understand me and cared about me! But now there gone,gone forever." She said and I could almost felt myself to cry,even 9. "(Sigh)...Now hold still,I told you it will hurt." She put the leaf on it's wound again and the dragon hissed and look away. "...Hey." The dragon turned its face toward her again while she's working on its wounds,still angry.
"What?"
"...Thank you...for saving my life." The dragons eyes went wide a bit and it quickly turned its head away from her.
"Just...stop the wounds."
Once 9 finally finished the dragons wound's,she sits back down right beside it and stayed silent.
'9,your feeling alright?'
'...I don't know,Pip. I broke a trust,kidnapped by orcs,nearly made my own funeral by Smaug...I don't-'
"Tell me." The dragon said which made me and 9 jumped a bit.
"W-what?"
"Tell...Me."
"T-tell you-"
"I saw you used your power's on those orcs. You charged at the orc chief and ate it's heart while it's still beating. No mortal nor a witch could have sharp teeth to kill their prey." 9 was getting nervous about all that,she starts hugging her knees again and look away from it. "Tell me,9...What...are you"
"...Okay...I'm...a bit of a hybrid..."
"What kind?"
"...A human...and a vampire."
"...What's a 'vampire'?"
"...A vampire is a night creature that drinks blood for a living. Almost like a dead person cause their hearts don't beat. They don't usually have power but I guess I just randomly have them for no reason. Weakness,is the sun, a wooden stake towards their chest,garlic and...fire."
"..."
"But somehow,I wasn't effected by that kind of weakness except for fire. And my heart is beating a bit. I sometimes enjoy feasting blood but only towards animal...I guess I have some of my blood and heart beating from my mother."
"What? From your mother?" it asks. 9 nodded.
"My mother is a human while my father's a vampire. But,he wasn't born as one,he was bitten. My mother wasn't scared of him in any way. When I was born,we were all happy,having fun,enjoying our life...Until...when I was nine years old,they were murdered by a hooded guy and his crew. I couldn't tell who it was. The hooded man said he wanted me. My parents hide me away from him,I kept hearing people fight,hearing screams,and finally...I heard my parents scream...I saw them,dead on the ground,not moving...So I ran away from my home and came to my aunt. She took care of me and watch over me while I grow up. But a few months later before you found me in your kingdom,my aunt want me to leave her home for some reason. She didn't even say why." She said and took a deep breath. "I...I don't know what I'm am. I might be a beast,a monster,a freak,...or just a nobody who should have never existed." She said and started to cry. I don't know what to say. 9 have a terrible past who lost her two favorite people in her life. I couldn't imagine what it felt like to her.
'Why do I feel this way?' Wait. What was that. I suddenly recognize it was the dragon's voice...I could hear the dragon's thoughts! 'Why do my chest kept glowing every time she is near me? What,is this feeling.' Hold up,feelings? No that can't be right. Right?
"9." The dragon said and 9 looks up with tears in her eyes. "You're not a nobody. Your just a simple creature who has a gift. Your far away from the hooded man,he won't even try to get near you,nether those orcs. No one will ever harm you again. You are who you really are." Me and 9 both shocked what the dragon just said. I don't really know for sure does that dragon really cares about her or not?
"...T-thank you,Smaug, " She said and smiled a bit. She wiped off the tears off her face but quickly pulled away when her arm was still hurt.
"Here." The dragon lowered its head towards 9's arm then it open its mouth and start licking her arm. 9 felt a bit grossed out a bit but quickly ignored it and let the dragon continued. Once the dragon stops licking her arm,it looks up to her bloody face then start licking her face! I can tell 9 wasn't having fun for this kind,but at least she won't get stained orcs blood on her face. When the dragon stopped it turned it's head away from her and looked at the river.
"...Thanks." 9 said and came a bit close to the dragon then rested her head beside it. I know the dragon felt her but it said nothing,they both just stayed quiet,listening to the river. Minutes passed by,9 fell asleep.
'What is going on with me?' I heard the dragons, though. 'Why do I kept having feeling's I need to protect her?'
'Maybe because you cared about her.' Oh,Valar! I didn't mean to speak!
"Yeah...maybe I do." The dragon said which got me surprise it didn't even think someone is reading their thoughts. But right now,the dragon is having feeling's,feeling it may hate,or might getting use to it. But something about those orcs,they seemed to be working for someone. What were they saying?
A/N: If you don't know what the orcs are saying,here it is.
