~~* Hello good people. It's time for another installment of
Chimera. I think this one is going to be a bit longer than the other
chapters. Also, you know in the beginning when I said after the
Yuugi-Pegasus duel was when I was going to go my own way.
Well, I've changed my mind. I going to do some serious screwing
up of the original plot right now. ^_^ But that's my right. This is
my fic, right!! Oh, and Pegasus gets called Max by some one in
this chapter. His first name is Maximillian so if you shorten that
then - I think you get it now. *~~
~~* For those of you that may have noticed, I've upped the
rating because of a few "suggestive" themes and some violence in
this chapter. *~~
~~* Yay, yay. I don't own nothin'. Now be a nice child
and read the fic! *~~
Pegasus watched Chimera from a window. She sat down
under a tree in the court yard and began to read a thick novel. `She
looks so much like her mother,' he thought, `but so much like me.'
He watched the trees sway gently in the wind, but her hair didn't
move an inch. It was too long and too heavy. He smiled lightly
and turned away from the window. Wandering the halls, he
slipped into a long flash back.
The night was calm, clear, and much too quiet. Pegasus
stood under an old, dying willow tree in the city park. He was
dressed in all black; trying to blend into the shadows as much as he
could. This was the first meeting he had been able to set up with
his love in a year. When he began to let his guard down he heard
the click of shoes on stone. They were quick and light: a woman's
foot step. He was soon able to make out a figure. He quickly
identified her as the object of his affections: Cecilia.
As she approached the old willow she slowed to a walk.
"Are you the morning and evening star?" She spoke the code
words nervously. Pegasus had always wondered why she had been
so interested in ancient Egypt, but he responded accordingly.
"Yes. The eye of Horus is upon us."
"Oh Max, it's been so long!" Her sweet voice was choked
with emotion. He embraced her, placing his head on top of hers.
"I know darling, I know."
"Oh, but Max. I - I have something to tell you," she
whispered. "And show you." He let go of her, dreading some kind
of horrible news. "Do you remember the last time we met?"
"All too well." He smiled. Cecilia held out the bundle in her
arms. He took it and held it like she instructed. She reached up
and pulled away a cloth. A small cherubic face was there, framed
in purple hair. She was sleeping peacefully. Pegasus was
speechless. "She's ours," she smiled up at him. "But I haven't
named her. I - I don't know what to name her. She's so -,"
"Stunning," said Pegasus, regaining his composure for a
moment.
"Yes, if you want to put it that way - that there is no name for
her." The girl, as if she sensed she wasn't in her mother's arms
any more, opened her eyes to see who was holding her. Seeing
Pegasus she just yawned and went back to sleep. He was
speechless again. Those eyes masked an inner flame, a power that
she held. It was almost a form of magic he couldn't explain. His
interest in mythical creatures brought a name to mind.
"She will be Chimera Belle. The middle name Belle is
because a chimera is too ugly of a creature to use it's name on
her," he announced. Cecilia almost immediately understood why
he chose that name.
"It's perfect love!" she cried, hugging him. He looked down
at his two girls lovingly.
His mind drifted to a time later on.
As he sketched yet another portrait of Cecilia, little Chimera
played with a doll on the floor. She lost interest in the doll and
climbed up into her father's lap.
"Look what I can do." She took a pencil and sketched a small
butterfly on the corner of the paper. Pegasus gasped at it's detail
and beauty. She was only two years old.
"That's magnificent darling!" She smiled and leaned against
his chest. Cecilia came in and picked her up.
"Another one?" she giggled. "You should start drawing our
little Chim." She noticed the butterfly in the corner. "Oh, that's
nice. You should do more things like that." She handed Chimera
to their Egyptian-gypsy maid, who took her for a walk.
"How can I when I didn't draw that?" he said, smiling up at
her.
"What? Then who did?"
"Our little Chim, as you often put it." His smile widened.
"Well, it's obvious that she got it from you!" She sat down in
his lap and kissed him. Pegasus kissed her neck and hugged her
closely.
"How about we try to give her a brother." He stood with her
in his arms and carried her to the bed room.
Some thing woke him up later on. The hair on the back of his
neck was on end as he got out of bed and threw some clothes on.
Cecilia woke up as he opened the door.
"Max? Where are you? I just had a horrible dream? Max?"
"I'm here. Shhhh. Don't worry, I'm here." He slid back into
bed and hugged her closely.
"Oh, Max! I had this horrible dream that some sort of black
hole opened up and this hideous monster came out and attacked us!
You tried to fight it off but it hit you with some sort of magic and
you flew across the room into a table! Then it grabbed me in some
spell and I could hear Chimera crying! It must have heard her too
and it went after her but another black hole opened up and another
monster came and - and" She began to cry hysterically.
"It's only a dream darling." A fierce wind suddenly began to
blow through the house. No windows where open. Cecilia gasped
and threw on the night gown on the bedside table. Pegasus turned
on a light. It revealed a huge black hole; a gaping abyss in their
wall that was continually spiraling clockwise. The lamp flickered
and went out. Cecilia screamed as a hulking black figure lurched
from the portal. Pegasus grabbed a chair from the desk and
charged the monster.
It reared up and opened it huge red eyes. Pegasus didn't
heed it's murderous look. A hidden arm swung out and flung him
across the room. Cecilia curled up in the bed and whimpered; too
scared to do anymore. A black and dark purple swirling wind
surrounded her. She screamed one last time before she was
paralyzed by it. Then came the most horrifying part. She heard
Chimera begin to cry.
"Noooo-," she groaned. The monster rumble angrily at her,
obviously wanting her to shut up. It ambled past the crumpled
Pegasus to the door. It opened the door and looked down the
hallway. On the floor was Chimera, crying her heart out. The
maid appeared behind her, holding some sort of talisman.
"BE GONE!!!" commanded the maid. The monster recoiled
for a second. But after that second it gave a terrifying roar. The
maid tripped over her own feet and fell over. It rumbled in
satisfaction and began to approach Chimera.
"NO!" screamed Chimera. The Eye of Horus blazed up on
her forehead and another portal opened. Out of it stepped a tall,
humanoid figure. It was dressed in some sort of robes and a tall,
pointy head-dress. It held out the staff in it's hand and cried out
something in another language. A strange energy shot towards the
monster and slammed into it's right side. It stumbled back into the
bedroom and shoved Cecilia into the portal before it died and
dissipated into nothing.
Pegasus had heard, more than seen, most of this in the pitiful
state he had been left in. When he was able he made a deal with an
old family friend and gave Chimera to him. Then he had the maid
teach him the Shadow Games in hopes that he could retrieve
Cecilia.
Pegasus found himself standing in the archway to the court
yard; watching Chimera talk to some one he couldn't see. He
wondered if she could still do that. If she still had the power to
summon monsters and if she could summon powerful ones.
Letting curiosity get the better of him he changed the way he was
standing so he could see who she was talking to. It was - He
couldn't believe it - The Magician of Black Chaos. Pegasus
hurried off to busy himself with some thing else before he got
caught spying. But he had gotten his answer to his question.
~~* Now, I know that most of you are going to be exploding
with questions about this. Some of them I may refuse to answer
because it may ruin a few things in later chapters. But, feel free to
fire them at me in the reviews any way! Oh, and please start
telling me what you like and dislike in the reviews. I don't just
want praise!! I want to be bashed!!! (And no doubt after this
chapter I'll have a few haters.) Please flame me!!!!! I beg of
you!!!*~~
