Rise to the Light Part 3
BonBon, Pisky, Stress and Aura went to where Spike had been before.
"I'm hot" BonBon complained,sheilding her eyes from the setting sun. "Where do you think this guy is?"
Pisky sighed.
"I dunno. We could check the place on the docks. But then we need an excuse for seein him. What we'se gonna do? Walk up and tell him we hunted him down cause Aura likes him? He won't like that, I bet"
"She's right" Stress agreed. "Are we'se jist gonna sit in some dark alley and wait for him to show up?"
They all looked at Aura.
"Ok, guys. We'se can go home now. Tanks fer lookin wit me" Aura took a last look around and tHey started to leave.
Reaching the end of the alley tHey found the sun had already set.
"Great, now we'se gotta walk home in da dark." Stress said
"Hehehe" Came a voice from behind some crates.
"Did anyone else hear that or should I be in an asylum?" BonBon asked
"I heard it"
"Me too"
"Yep"
A figure popped out from behind the boxes and came into the lamplight.
"Heya goils, member me?"the dark haired girl said.
"Oh my god" Stress said, taking a step towards her.
The girl laughed again and took off.
"Come back, Gypsy, come back" Stress called
"Whoa, Stress, who was that?" Pisky asked
"Gypsy" Stress cried "umm, I guess you don't remember. Gypsy was a newsie."
"Didn't she die?" BonBon asked
"YES" exclaimed Stress "she died and now like a year later I see her. Whats going on?"
"I remember that" BonBon said "I think Pisky came just after that and Aura came a month later so you'se guys wouldn't know her"
"Well seein dead people is freakin me out so lets get home" Pisky said
Turning to go, Pisky felt a cold hand on her arm. Glancing up she found Drusilla. She pulled back attempting to yank her arm free. Drusilla just smiled at her.
Grabbing a peice of broken crate Aura whacked the woman holding Pisky. The woman let go of Pisky and turned on Aura.
"What have I you about being naughty?" Drusilla shook her finger at Aura.
"Listen lady' BonBon interjected, stepping between Aura and Drusilla. "I think you should leave now. You're kinda outnumbered for one thing and it would be an unfair fight. I mean, we all have sense and brains and well you seem a bit, shall we say, Crazy!" BonBon smirked.
Drusilla smiled and raised her hand. For a second BonBon thought Drusilla was gonna smack her. But she saw it was a signal. For backup.
"Guys, run" She called. It was to late. 6 guys appeared around them.
"What are they?" Aura asked, noting the mens bumpy faces and sharp teeth. "They don't look like any people I'se ever saw"
"Really ugly guys, I'se guess" Stress added. She lashed out and punched one guy in the face. he fell back against some wooded crates and exploded into dust.
"Holy shit!" She exclaimed "This is definetly not normal"
BonBon stared amazed at the pile of dust. "Stress, what the frickin hell did you do?"
"I'se dunno. I jist hit him"
Pisky was punching another guy. She pinned him to the ground and continously punched him. He threw her off and into a wall. She hit the wall and fell to the ground dazed.
"Ruys, running would be good now" Aura called. She grabbed a wooden crate and held it in front of her for protection. It snapped. The guy advanced on her. She thrust the box forward at him. A sharp edge went through his shirt into his chest.
oh no, Aura thought, I killed him. I'm gonna go to jail. What am I gonna do?
The man exploded into dust.
"What the...??" Aura said
BonBon and Stress had managed to make 2 more guys turn to dust.
"Ya know" BonBon said "This is kinda fun" She grabbed a broken peice of crate and went to stab a third guy. She felt someone tackle her and she was pinned to the ground.
Glancing up, her eyes met flashing blue ones. "Gypsy?" She asked softly "is it you? w-we thought you were dead"
"you'se were always da smart one , Bon. And I'se go by Gip now." Gip pulled a knife out of her boot and held it above her head. She slashed downwards at BonBons throat. But the the knife never made the connection. Stress grabbed her hair and pulled her off.
"What are you'se doin, Gip? BonBon never did anything to you'se and what are you doing alive anyways? We'se been thinking you were dead for a year. Why didn't you come back? Whats wrong?" Stress asked.
Gip stepped fully into the lamplight and Stress gasped. Her forehead was creased and bumpy. Her flashy blue eyes were glowing and she could see very sharp teeth.
"What's wrong wit you? Why are you doing this?" Stress continued
"We'se building an army. We'se gonna rule the world." A smile crept on Gypsy's face and Stress could see 2 shiny, pointy teeth. "i'se let you join our army but I don't get ta pick the soldiers. I'se not the boss. Besides, we'se need ta leave some people for food." Gypsy advanced, her eyes not leaving Stress' neck.
BonBon slammed her weight into Gypsy knocking her against a wall. She grabbed Stress' hand and pulled her away. "Run" she said, pushing her in the direction of the lodging house. "Aura" She called "Get Pisky and lets go"
Aura went to help Pisky. she found her laying in Drusillas arms. Drusillas face buried in her neck. Aura screamed. Drusilla looked up. Her eyes were glowing and blood was running down her chin. Drusilla glanced over at Gip. "Girl, come here and take my new child home"
Gip walked over and took Pisky out of Drusillas arms and slung her over her shoulder. She started to leave.
"N-no" aura said. "Pisky!" Aura went to chase Gip but Drusilla picked her up by the throat. For a brief second Aura panicked from lack of breath but the hand left her throat and she felt herself flying. Then she felt unbearable pain in her head. She welcomed the blackness
