Chapter 9: Clash of two alike souls.
Shelly stood at the bottom of the building, looking up. The rain was pouring down on her face, but she felt comfortable with it. It had been a long time since she last felt rain, and she had almost forgotten what it felt like. Even though she knew every second counted, she stopped thinking about her task on earth for a moment to enjoy the rain. She quietly walked into the building, which was deserted. The people that normally would run around here, were caught in the hysteria of the mass, and fled the building like rats flee from a sinking ship. Computers were left on, lunches were thrown down half eaten. It was like everyone disappeared, but Shelly knew better. She walked over to the elevator and pushed the button to make it come down. Apparently it had to come all the way from the roof, because it took the elevator nearly two minutes to get to the ground floor. The doors opened, and a little 'ping' indicated it was safe to get in. Shelly hesitated for a brief moment, but then she entered and the doors closed behind her. There was no turning back as she pushed the button for the roof floor. She was prepared to do anything necessary to stop the Crow from causing any more damage, even if that meant killing it and Eric with it.
The elevator doors opened and Shelly walked out the elevator slowly, looking for the creature that was once her lover. She walked over to the edge of the roof. She looked over the city. Everywhere were little fires and sirens sounded almost constantly. The city was covered with darkness and the fires coloured it red. Suddenly Shelly felt something that made her turn around. "Well, well, well. The little woman has come to stop me." On the concrete case of the elevator squatted the Crow. Shelly didn't walk towards him, instead she took a pose ready to fight. The Crow jumped down from the little case and landed right in front of her. "Do you really think you can stop me? If you do, you're as crazy as our daddy." He laughed and inspected Shelly with his eyes. Starting with her face, that was normal again, and slowly going down her body. "What have you done to Eric?" Shelly was surprisingly calm. Even she thought it would be harder to stand face to face with this…thing. She knew this wasn't Eric and that made it easier for her to face the Crow. Her eyes however told the true story. She was heartbroken to see this creature in Eric's body. She also found strength in knowing that Eric wouldn't want to live this way. She would be the one to release him from his prison and to bring him to the land of the dead. The Crow started to walk around her, never taking his eyes off her. "Eric got tired. I took over the body until he's rested. I shouldn't wait for that if I were you, it could take a long time, before that happens." A grin appeared on his face. "You can do me if you want. I know Eric enjoyed it."
Shelly's face turned white and she struck the Crow with such force, he got knocked back. "Sorry, I'm a one-man girl." She tilted her head a little when she said that and she walked over to the Crow. He was still lying on the ground, confused by the strength of this woman. Soon he got up and ran towards her. He jumped up, about ten yards from her, and landed behind her. Immediately he kicked her in the back and she fell to the ground. With incredible speed he tried to kick her in the head, but she grabbed his foot and threw him in the air. She jumped back on her feet and waited for his next attack. He landed on his feet and sped to his rival. Quick punches aimed at her head were easily blocked and his kicks never landed on her. Her speed was far more superior to his, and there was no way of winning for him. He couldn't see that however, and fought on. Shelly did nothing but block and dodge. She could finish this fight at any given time, but somehow she couldn't bring herself to doing it. She was just buying Albrecht and Sarah time to get there with the antidote. She didn't want to finish him before they had tried everything.
