I Give Myself To You
Chapter 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes: Wow! we see a totally new side of Narye as she offers to kill Merle for Dilandau. Obviously, since most people voted for "TONS OF BLOOD AND MORE PAIN AND HORROR YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT!!!", Merle will die a painful, painful, PAINFUL death, but by who...?
rated r for TONS OF BLOOD AND ...yeah, u know...
remember, *stuff* means thoughts, really important for this chapter, don't get them confused with "stuff" !!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The blood soaked dagger twirled in her pale hands as she stepped closer and closer to the disfigured and whimpering body on the cold floor. Her black hair shined in the candlelight and she pushed the silver haired boy back, only focusing on the small cat girl
"Hey...just what do we have here??" Narye snarled and licked her lips, grinning insanely at Dilandau. She stretched out her hand and patted Merle's blood matted hair, bringing her chin up and looking in her eyes. Her mouth etched into a small curious smile and her eyes widened as the knife slammed down on the unsuspecting victim's shoulder.
Narye sighed blissfully as the knife in her hand squirmed past the skin and flesh and finally reached the bone. Chuckling at Merle's pain, she only pushed harder and pressed Merle's small and limp body agaisnt her's, staining her white knee-length gown. She cut through the bone slowly and smiled widely when the sound of cracking bone reached her ears. Making sure that her knife was still clean, Narye ripped it out of the small girl's flesh and drew it around her hand, moving the tip up slowly below her eyes.
Dilandau watched with fascination as the girl in front of him tortured the cat girl.
*wow...she's ...incredible...*
He turned around momentarily and glanced at Chesta, who was waking up groaning. Getting up and walking towards the blonde boy lying on the floor, Dilandau was careful not to trip over the slippers . He stepped around the fallen beds and crouched infront of Chesta, slapping him none too lightly with the back of his right hand.
"Chesta!" He looked annoyed as the Dragonslayer didn't answer. So, he slapped him again.
"Huh..." Chesta looked up and tried to re-adjust his vision as the Dilandau triplets filled his eyes. "Yes, Master Dilandau?"
"Chesta..." he looked annoyed and perplexed. "Is that really your sister???" He shook Chesta's form and waited impatiently for an answer. Blood splattered on his whites clothes as he turned around and saw that Narye had hacked off yet another toe of the small whimpering cat girl.
Dilandau shook Chesta again and threw him down when Chesta fainted and went limp in his arms.
Exasperated, Dilandau stood up and wiped the blood on his hands off with his shirt.
*Sweet, sweet blood* He thought as he walked slowly towards Narye and the blood covered girl lying on the floor.
Hearing the faint breaths, Dilandau smiled giddily and whispered to himself. "Yes! She isn't dead yet...I can still have my fun..."
He shoved Narye aside and yelled at her. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!??"
She glanced up at him, confused that he had stopped her.
Dilandau frowned and slapped her across the cheek, forcing the dagger out of her hands. "THIS IS MY KILL, YOU GOT THAT???!!!"
Still confused and dazed, Narye backed away and leaned against the window, using the sills as crutches for her fatigued body. She brought up her hands to her face and screened them in the moonlight.
Pale, bony, and blood-soaked hands illuminated her as the wet and sticky liquid reflected the moonlight on her face. *Huh...* She continued to stare as her anger and lust faded. "Wha...what ...have I...done?* Panicking, she shreeked quietly and shifted her wide eyes from one palm to the other. "This...this isn't my blood!"
Looking up and staring at tall frame in the middle of the room, she suddenly felt so vunerable. "WHERE..where am I...??" Narye searched her mind, waiting for an answer as she wandered blindly towards the figure.
She clutched his shoulders and spun him around, pressing him against her. Looking blankly into his garnet eyes, she whispered urgently, "WHO...who are you??? Where am I...where's..."
She turned around and scanned the room with glazed eyes.
"Where's....where's my brother...Where's Chesta?"
Growling, Dilandau released himself from her grasp and pushed her away, wondering how this fragile female could have been so ruthless and bloodthirsty just a few minutes ago. Looking down, he kicked Merle's body and smiled, satisfied that her yelp of pain was getting dimmer and dimmer.
Turning back around, he grabbed Narye's thin shirt by the hem and pulled her towards him. Putting his hands on her shoulders, he looked down grimly and gazed into her eyes.
"Just who...no, WHAT, are you??" Dilandau asked quietly. Somehow, her presence gave him a calm, relaxing feeling.
He followed as she pulled him towards the window and they stood in the soft light, pale complexions facing each other. Like a little child, she took his hand and put it in the light, comparing it to hers. She eyed him wearily and whispered, "This...this isn't my blood..."
Narye took Dilandau's cold hands and put them in hers. She slowly lifted them and put his soft fingers to her lips and she pressed her cheek against his thumb, caressing the pads of his fingers with her nose.
Dilandau froze in his stance and took a step back hastily. *What is she doing to me???* He looked at his now warm hands and stared at the palms. *My hands are covered with blood!*
He looked at her and gasped at how beautiful she looked in the light. *Like a ghost...*
He stepped forwards again and leaned towards her face, analysing her features.
*No...she doesn't look like Chesta at all...*
Reaching out with his fingers, Dilandau touched her cheek and watched in horror as the tear stained face turned away slowly and blue blood burst through her skin, spreading through her clothes like ink.
Gulping, he stepped back and his eyes widened as she looked at him sadly and fingered her long black hair.
drip drip drip drip
He watched the dark blue liquid turn light purple and finally silver as it flowed down her body. Puddling at her feet, the blood seemed to have a life of it's own as it moved around, defying gravity and flying forward, dancing in the moonlight.
Frowning, he stepped forward and lightly touched a drop of silver streaming down her arm. The cold liquid embraced his fingertips and turned hard after a few seconds. Dilandau looked at her and then back at his hands, the blood was gone.
Gasping, he looked back at her and saw the same result.
Narye's once blood-saoked clothes were now completely white, bleached of it's foul smell and covering. Only silver and blue liquid flowed freely, leaving no traces of it's existence as it left her body and pooled on the ground.
"What...is that?"
Dilandau waited for an answer. He watched urgently as she opened her mouth slowly, but no voice came out.
*Can you hear me?*
"WHAT???" Dilandau turned spun on his heels, searching for the voice.
*what voice?* He thought to himself. *There weren't any so--*
*My voice*
"What!!??"
Gasping, he turned back around saw that Narye was still moving her lips but no sound came out.
*Dilandau, can you hear me?*
Eyeing her, he answered out loud. "Yes, I can hear you..."
*No Dilandau! Speak with your mind!"
Breathing with exasperation, he stepped closer to her and pointed to the silver liquid.
*What is that?*
*It's my ---*
But Narye didn't finish her sentence as a giant guymelef flew in through the walls and landed near Merle and her limbs.
Dilandau's eyes widened and he screamed in surprise. "IT'S ESCAFLOWNE!!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moments before....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hitomi leaned against the wall of the castle and watched as Van paced around the table infront of Escaflowne.
She looked at him unhappily and her thoughts wandered. *Stupid Merle! Where could she have gone! Now all Van can do is talk, talk , and talk about her! THAT INSOLENT LITTLE BITCH!*
She let out a quick breath and tsk-ed as Van banged his fist on the table. "Hitomi! Try another reading...maybe it'll work this time!"
The girl sighed and pulled out the cards from her pocket, almost wishing that Merle could be dead so Van could get over her and spend more time with Hitomi. She pouted inwardly and scrowled at the thought of Van hugging Merle. *Damn that cat! That little dickhead! Why did she have to run off???*
She spread the cards on the floor in front of her and smiled when Van came and sat next to her, peering for the secret meanings in the hard pieces of paper. Hitomi also brought out her pendant and she swung it over the cards, moving over to the map of Gaea.
Hitomi pictured the pendant in her mind and she asked where Merle was. Almost instantly this time, the pink stone swung over to a relatively flat area in southern Gaea.
Casting a quick glance at Van, Hitomi almost melted with hate when he got up and jumped into his guymelef.
"Come on Hitomi! She's in the Zaiback city!"
Hitomi watched as Van eagerly stepped out of the room in Escaflowne and she sighed. Walking slowly behind him with dread, she scowled again. "Damn that Merle, I wish she died!"

Present
~~~~~~~~~~~
Dilandau jumped and pushed Narye out of the way so that falling stones wouldn't harm her.
He cursed himself for not having a weapon and he climbed on the sills, taking down the 'spear' that held the drapes. Preparing for the attack, Dilandau also noticed that Merle was still alive and he berated himself even more.
*STUPID ASS BAKA!!!! Why didn't I kill her when I had the chance!?? I could've at least let Narye kill her!*
Remembering Narye, he turned around and saw that she was standing right beside him, mysteriously holding a mini version of the crima claw in her hands. The silver liquid had dissappeared and the blood gone with it.
He almost hit himself when all of a sudden, an epiphany dawned on him. *That silver liquid must that been the material used to make the crima claws! It was mercury-some or the other!* He grunted at her but she didn't respond, only making the claw grow larger and longer.
The sound of creaking metal filled the room as the headpiece for the Escaflowne opened and a boy with unruly black hair yelled from the cockpit.
"DILANDAU YOU BASTARD! WHERE'S MERLE!!?"
Dilandau almost laughed right then and there when he looked down and saw that under the foot of the Ispano guymelef, there lay half the body of the cat girl. The other half was hidden, crushed when the giant mecha's metal foot had landed on her, her screams deafened out by the guymelef's whirring mechanics.
Hearing an insane and uncontrolled laugh coming from Narye, Dilandau let himself go as well and he giggled while pointing to the crushed body.
Van jumped from the cockpit and landed where Merle was. He gasped and whimpered at the sight of his childhood friend, crushed and mutilated, lying lifelessly on the ground. Staring at the loose limbs near the main torso, Van noticed 2 arms, 9 seperate fingers, 3 toes, and a fallen leg. He shuddered in horror as he realized. *This must have all been DILANDAU'S work!!* he breathed heavily. *I'll KILL YOU DILANDAU! IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!!!!!!!*
Charging at Dilandau, Van was unprepared for the attack of the girl standing besides him. He hadn't noticed her until then but he now regretted it as his right arm was sliced cleanly off and dropped to the ground, the sword still in it's grasp.
Gasping and moaning in pain, he stepped back and fell in Hitomi's arms. "Van !!! Van what happened???!!" she screamed, and watched as the love of her life bled and whimpered.
Also completely shocked and surprised, Dilandau quickly turned to face Narye. She didn't say anything when he stepped forward and took the claw from her hands, gasping as the cool metal slid into his grasp.
Turning to face Hitomi, his face twisted into a cruel smile and he sneered at her.
"Time to die bitch!" He yelled as he threw the claw at her and scowled when it only bruised and cut her shoulder as she ducked with Van in her arms.
He looked around for another weapon and glanced back at Narye, asking her for another claw.
Turning, he noticed that she wasn't there.
*Narye...?*
He squinted his eyes and gasped with horror and fright at what he saw
In Narye's place laid a peaceful looking boy, sleeping in the glow of the moonlight, his silver hair streaming down his neck and dancing in the wind.
