Chapter seven
I do not own gargoyles or blue seed
"Crap man," said a drunk man. "Dude I think we better get out of here." Both drunks then get back in the car and speed down the empty road."Mom Dad are you okay?" Asked Melvyn rubbing his head and looking at his sister who had a minor cut on her head.
"Melvyn are mom and dad okay?" asked Gmx rubbing her head and undoing her seatbelt.
Melvyn then gasped and looked at his parents. His mom was bleeding everywhere and breathing very slowly. Her legs were crashed in-between the metal of the car. She would never walk again. His dad was crushed between the steering wheel of the car and was gasping for air.
"I…love…you…both…very…much." said Geraldine as she took her last breath of air. Her head then tilt to the right as her eyes began to swirl in her head. Her once glowing eyes of happiness were now filled with a blank emptiness.
"Mom please come back don't die on me come back." Gmx cried hot tears of love that fell on to her dead mother hoping it would bring her back to life. Melvyn just bent his head down not being able to comprehend what happened.
"Melvyn…Gmx come here." said Xavier While Melvyn held onto his sister trying to ease her down his father gave him a letter. "I want you…both to get out of here…and read the letter… when you are in a safe area." with that being his last breath he died and rolled over to his wife. If they both had not been dead but sleeping it would have been a perfect Kodak moment.
"Mom, Dad please don't leave us." said Gmx crying her eyes out as she tried to think that they were just sleeping.
"Sister," said Melvyn as he cried softly along with her. "Remember what dad said he told us to get out of the car and find a safe area to read this." Melvyn said holding up the letter that had blood stains from both of his parents. Slowly Gmx got out of the torn up car and walked slowly with her brother to the street. Both siblings then began to walk down an alley way to not be seen by any bystanders. They held onto each other for dear life because of the fear rising that they would lose each other. A bright light then shined a deep crystal blue right after they had started walking down the alley way on their car.
"What was that?" asked Melvyn. He then looked at his sister she too had seen the light but was not willing to talk about it.
Melvyn had to keep a tight hold of his sister for fear she would fall on the ground. As they walked down the alleyway they came up to their school and sat down in the cool grass where the bullies had beaten Gmx up earlier.
"I guess we better read this letter now." said Melvyn as he tried not to cry in front of his sister. He knew he had to be string for his sister. He was the oldest and had to comfort her. Melvyn then began to read the letter very slowly holding back the hard lump in his throat.
Dear Melvyn and Gmx if you are reading this letter we have died. Please don't worry or cry too much over are death. We loved both of you and wished we could have told you sooner about your past history. Since we didn't get to tell you when we were alive. You will have to go on the internet in the library and look up Japanese myths. There you will find the Kushinada Legend read it and understand you destiny in time. We will always love you.
Love,
Xavier and Geraldine.
Melvyn couldn't stand it any longer and cried along with his sister holding on to her making sure to never lose her. They sat on the field grass for what seemed like hours embracing each other and crying. Finally they got up from their feet and began to try to compose themselves.
"Well I guess we better get back home huh?" said Melvyn as he lifted his sister off from the ground trying to make a weak fake smile.
"No," said his sister brushing off her blue skirt. "we need to go to the library to look for the information on the Kushinada legend." Gmx then brightened her face as best as she could but it didn't help. Melvyn could see past her and noticed that her eyes had become cold green eyes not her usual bright green eyes. Her eyes were expressing her pain of the lose.
"But Gmx the library is probable already closed." said Melvyn skeptically.
"Yeah the library is closed if you don't have a library key." said Gmx with a sly smile. Melvyn's eyes just then lit up as her heard his sister speak these words and hugged her.
"Come on lets hurry to the library." Melvyn said as he tried to pull his sister's arm. There was a big tug. He then looked back at his sister with her head down crying again into her hands and kneeling on the ground again.
Trying to ease the pain as best as he could he spoke to her. "Come on Gmx we need to find out our destiny that dad and mom gave us tonight. You wouldn't want to disappoint them now would you?" As soon as he had said this Gmx stopped crying and began to walk with Melvyn to the library determined to find both of their destinies..
While walking down to the library Gmx could have sworn that she heard the same sound again before they went to dinner.
"Are we at the library yet." asked Melvyn impatiently.
"No we need to get to 1st and 2nd street. At that corner the library is only a block away." said Gmx.
"Well I know a short cut lets cut through this alley and we'll be there in no time." said Melvyn trying to put on a smile for his sister.
Melvyn then lead his sister down the dark alleyway. No lights were down the street only the moonlight shown the path. As they were walking down the alleyway Gmx knew she heard a sound.
"Melvyn I think someone is following us." Gmx said with fear in her voice.
"Gmx don't worry no one is following us." said Melvyn thinking it was because of the tragedy.
They started to walk down some more down the alleyway listening for sounds. They both then heard a crash sound behind them. They both looked behind them and saw a monster. The monster had large teal wings bright red hair and a long tail.
"Well, well if it is a pair of stupid humans." she said while walking closer to Melvyn and Gmx.
"What do you want freak." said Melvyn trying to sound brave for his sister and getting into his fighting stance.
"Oh I don't know I thought I might kill both of you for what you have done to me." said the creature.
"But we didn't do anything to you. How are we responsible?" asked Gmx curiously.
"Both of you just being alive is enough for me to kill you." said the creature.
"Who are you?" asked Melvyn.
"I am an angry of gargoyle that can tear you to shreds in an instance." said the gargoyle with a grin flexing her claws. The gargoyle then began to edge toward both of them making a low growl. Melvyn stepped in front of his sister to protect her as the gargoyle cornered them in the alleyway.
"Time to have some fun with you" said the gargoyle as she pounced on Melvyn.
As she lift Melvyn away from his sister. The gargoyle then took Melvyn by the collar and threw him into the wall. Gmx then began crying and screaming for her to stop. The gargoyle did nothing to hear her pleads. The gargoyle then beat up Melvyn more by punching him and kicking him into the ground. Melvyn already was licking his blood from his lip and getting a bruise around his left eye.
"Any last words human before I kill you?" asked the gargoyle in an evil tone.
"Don't hurt my sister." said Melvyn in deep gasps of air. Melvyn then let his head rest on the cold alleyway floor as he went unconscious.
"Such a fool. I will kill both you and your sister goodbye human." said the gargoyle as she lifted up her claws to tear him.
"Noooo." said Gmx as she leapt in front of her brother and took the full blow on her back.
"Stupid human! Ouch!" said the gargoyle as she tried to get the human girl off of the boy to kill him. The girl was omitting some type of barrier over her brother and herself so the gargoyle couldn't touch them. "I'll get you guys next time." The gargoyle then flew off away into the darkness.
"Gmx," said Melvyn worried as he look at his sisters limp body form and her glasses which were crack and falling off her face. "Gmx are you okay?" he said again hoping to get a small response from her. "Please don't die Gmx." Melvyn then picked up her body and held her close to his body rocking back and forth hoping to bring her back.
