My Morphine
Chapter Seventeen: Baby Doll.
(Lyrics centered, in italics and *…*'s song is "Baby Doll" by Hole~ Pretty on the Inside.)
*Here you come, sucking my energy
And you suck it up right off the street.
Babydoll!
Here you are sucking my energy right up
Drill it in my good hole, so that I can see
You are so much bigger than me
You are so much bigger than me
Babydoll!*
Meara slowly cracked open her eyes, her cheeks wet with freshly shed tears from the flood of memories. Elise Lynette sat in Prozen's throne with a smug smile on her face. The brunette looked to both sides and saw her comrades chained, like her, to the wall of the cavern. Her arms, bound above her head, ached painfully. Both her and Mizuno's staves lay discarded before them. Slowly, one by one, the remaining awoke.
*My raw hand, my fever blister, watch me
Watch me, watch me disappear
Here she comes, her pants undone
All waste and void, all waste and void.*
The spiteful captive, glared at the Zoidian. "Let us go and I may make your death less painful for you." she snarled as she laughed.
She narrowed her crimson eyes as she smiled cruelly. "Fools…do you know how easy it was to string you along? Even when you were planning to kill me, I had you holding back, leading you here…You will help me claim this world. The world of Zi shall be mine and mine alone!" she cackled as Meara seethed with rage.
"I would never listen to you!"
"Oh, my beautiful little Peregrine. Yes, you would and yes you do. Your life is a lie, you are what I make you." she cooed as the other shook her head violently.
"N-no! Never!" She screamed as Thomas slowly slid up the wall. His bonds didn't hold his hands quite above his head and he struggled to reach the pouch at his waist.
*There you go in your Nazi car
Oh babydoll, what a whore you are
You sit around with your old rag
How can I talk when you've got the gag?
Here you come sucking my energy
And you suck it up, baby, right off the street
Babydoll*
"Now, Colonel Schubaltz," she said in a flirtatious voice as he stepped from the shadows with a salute. "Would you please do the honor?" He nodded and she turned back to the prisoners, Prozen and Hiltz doing the same. The colonel smiled to the five while taking out his handgun and took aim on Thomas--or rather his hands. He pulled the trigger quickly and hit the thick shackle, breaking it open.
The blonde swiftly dug into the pouch and threw the small device before Elise Lynette could react. It hit the stone and released a blinding, white light. Fiona screeched as she covered her face.
"No!! My eyes!"
*In the dark I destroy
What I began, what I destroy
She's hanging in the blossom tree
Babydoll just bleeds for me
Babydoll*
Meara wrapped the chains around the flaxen haired Zoidian's wrists, binding her to the throne. She twisted it around her chest and her legs, rendering her captive. The girl shrieked on and on.
"My eyes! What have you done to me! Worthless imbeciles!! How dare you do this!?" The brunette slid behind her, stroking her delicate throat.
"Shh…Elise…." she purred, scratching her sharp nails across her cheek. She screamed and cried for leniency and freedom as Meara slowly tortured her. Mizuno and Karl held back Prozen and Hiltz who wished to save their 'master'.
*Babydoll, she's on the field
Her chemical wedding and her chemical peel
I knife me and I slash mine
And I knife me and I slash mine*
"Ambient!" Hiltz yelled out as a crimson flash rushed at Meara.
"No!" Raven quickly swung her staff and connected with the Organoid's side. Only slightly wounded, it turned to him, its eyes narrowed with rage. It growled and charged at the maverick who caught its tail-swipe with the length of the staff. Reese waved her hands and generated a swarm of her little bugs that attacked and fastened to the red creature.
"Van! Zeke!" Elise Lynette cried, her eyes glowing.
The two materialized in the cave, radiating with the power of her hex.
"Get them!" She shouted as Thomas held back Van, while Zeke lashed out at Raven.
"Meara! Enough already! Kill her!" Raven commanded as the silver Organoid's tail connected with his ribs.
* Sick and sorry me, well, here you are just as ugly as me
Drill it in my good hole so that I can see
Drill it in my good hole so that I can see
Here you come sucking my energy
And you suck it up, baby, right off the street
Babydoll
She stares too long into the sun
Now I want a cancer that the crooked eye spun for you
I don't mind my energy
'Cause baby, you are so much bigger than me
Babydoll*
She tore the knife from her boot and poised it above the girl's chest, her arms trembling with effort.
"You can't kill me! You won't! I own you! I own you all!" She cried madly as the brunette tried to bring her arms down.
*She stares too long into the sun
Now I want a cancer that the crooked eye spun for you
I don't mind my energy
'Cause baby, you are so much bigger than me
Babydoll*
"Don't you see?! You are all mine! Mine, mine, mine! You are powerless against me!"
"No I'm not!' She screamed, her traitorous arms immobile to her will.
*Little girl, she's on the floor
She gets it all 'cause she's the whore
Little girl, she's on the ground
She gets it all for falling, falling down
Falling down*
Meara fought the spell to its end-- the knife plunging deep into Elise Lynette's heart. The Zoidian shrieked in pain, her listless eyes gone wide. Hiltz, Prozen, Van and Zeke fell to the ground, released from her hold.
Her voice was tight and weak. "D-damn you…all…I did this…for you…to save you all…I had no evil…I just wanted it all to be mine…" her eyes slowly rolled upwards and her head slumped forward.
*"I am, I am," she says
"I am not free," she says
"Help me, I am withering...withering...withering..."*
Meara stumbled forward, trembling softly, stopping by Raven, Reese nearby. She looked down at Thomas, Mizuno and Karl then crumpled, the other two following in suit.
A fine colorless mist rose from them and the other enchanted ones, pulling together into a diaphanous cloud then, dissipated.
*Hang on, you'll get your soul
It's a soul
Hey it's a soul, it comes down
See, see it's a soul.*
[to be continued…]
a/n: short, ne? Um, the reason why only Meara, Reese and Raven collapsed was because they were the ones under Fiona's control. Mizuno, Karl, and Thomas were not under her spell since Raven had freed them and Mizu-kun had not come into contact with either Fiona or Prozen-who was the host for Fiona to take in Mea and Raven and Reese. This isn't quite the end. I'm gonna take a chap. or two or 3 to tie up loose ends, okay?
So for Nao notes: Waaaiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!! School is OVER! It's all over! Summer is here! Now, I'm-a gonna go back to sleep, okies?? Neeee…….
