Crimson
Chapter 13:Whoso sheddeth man's blood
Marik's PoV
'Shit! That TOTALLY wasn't smart ...'
They smirked cause they knew I was trapped. My heart was thumping so loud, I swear they could hear it ... and that's never a good thing with a vampire.
But they really didn't know me and that things I'd do to escape. I lunged for the tower door. My shoulder slammed against the wall but I grabbed the door handle just as Vlad and Cester lunged for me. I pulled it open and ran up. I was pretty fast in my mortal body, if I do say so myself ... but they ... being IMMORTAL were infinetly faster. My chest tightened. I'd run so much already! But I had to keep going. Then halfway up, they caught me!
I felt Cester's cold dead hand on my shoulder as he pulled me back and slammed me on the wall. My back was pressed against the cold, stone wall. I tried to kick him but I couldn't reach. Then I turned around and did the only thing I could think of, I bit him on the lip.
He yelped in pain and let go of me. His mouth tasted nasty. Like dead rats. I ran like hell. Cester was behind me once more.
I finally reached the door, tore off the ivy and pushed it open.
'I only pray the sun is up!'
I ran across the room to the barred windows. I pulled open the curtains and the sun streamed in. I smiled triumphantly and stepped away.
Cester came running right into the sun. He howled in pain as the sun hit him full force. I watched with my mouth hanging open as it melted off his skin. It fell to the floor shriveled, like onion skins. Then his flesh was hit. I saw itt was red and his veins were still pumping blood. His flesh burned off too leaving a rotten scent behind. Then all that was left of him were pale bones. Then his bones turned to ash and were blown away in the wind.
Seto gasped as Vladimir punched him in the gut. He doubled over in pain.
'Asshole!' he thought.
From the ground he saw Duke and Pegasus fighting Fergis. Suddenly Fergis turned around and slashed Duke and Pegasus' head clean off in one swipe. He smiled as he searched his pockets for something.
He took out a match and threw it on Duke and Pegasus' limp bodies. Seto cringed as he saw the bodies go up flames in front of his very eyes.
Bakura turned to see the fire stop suddenly. There was no trace of Duke or Pegasus.
Marik smiled as Cester was destroyed. Murdor, though, moved to the shade just in time.
Marik smirked, 'Now I gotta figure out a way to kill Vladimir.'
A cross covered in human blood.
'The human would be me ... so now I need a cross ... where am I gonna get a CROSS in a VAMPIRE'S castle! We're in deep shit now!'
Murdor started smiling for some reason. Then he was LAUGHING!
'What a nutcase!' Marik thought.
"WHAT? What are you so happy about?"
Murdor laughed, "The sun ... daywalker ... your advantage is gone."
Marik turned to look out the window. It was begining to rain. "SHIT!"
Marik's PoV
I had to think FAST ... then I remembered ... a CROSS! I ran to my old coffin and pulled it open. There was my old body ... and there was THE CROSS! I grabbed it and pulled it out. My old body turned to ashes, which quickly disappeared.
'Okay ...'
Then I felt Murdor grab my neck and pull me up. That fucker was trying to choke me! My breath wa cut short and my lungs were about to burst! Then I remembered. I lifted the cross and plunged it into his arm. He growled and threw me backwards. I felt being thrown back with a great force.
The window shattered as I came into contact with it, the glass cutting into my bare arms. The bars gave away as my body pushed against them.
Then I was falling ...
Had this been another time, another life ... I would have extended my wings and flown off. But this time ... I couldn't.
I curled up into a ball and landed on my side. I heard a 'crack' and I knew I had broken my elbow.
'STUPID MORTAL BODY!!!'
I had landed on my room's balcony ... well this was peachy ...
But I hardly had enough time to recover from the impact of breaking my arm.
Murdor was on me once again.
'Damn him! I haven't even caught my breath!'
He grabbed my neck and threw me backwards again. The window crashed as I hit it.
'This is SO getting old!'
Murdor smirked, "I got you now!"
I smiled widely. "I don't THINK so!" I said from the floor.
My arm hurt ... it felt like it was on fire. I knew I shouldn't move it ... but I had to do it ... I looked at the object in my good hand.
The cross was now entirely covered in my blood. In fact a puddle was forming around me. I stood up weakly. "Murdor ... I have a party to attend to!"
I ran out into the main hall, where the clans were fighting. Murdor followed and tried to grab me but I turned on him with the cross.
"MURDOR STAY BACK!!!!"
He backed away a little bit as I climbed on the banister. "VLADIMIR!!!!" I called from the top of the stair's banister. I stood incredibly still while on that flimsy stand.
Yes, yes. I know what you're thinking ... STUPID! What's he doing! Well this was me ... never-back-down-Malik, in a mortal body ... having just lost about HALF OF MY BLOOD! So you figure it out.
My vision was blurry as I stood there. I swayed a bit, but saw Vlad turn to me. I thought I saw him walking towards me, a shocked expression on his face. My blood was running thinner still as I stood there. I was dizzy. I could barely make out Bakura's puffy white hair as he ran to me. Then I fell.
I was falling down, towards the hard marble floor, then Vladimir caught me. I looked up and did the only thing I could think of. When he caught me ... I plunged my cross into his heart.
A/N: Everything is going so quickly ... Makky might die ..."winks"
I love teasing you reviewers ... WAIT! Better yet I should kill Seto to spite my friend ... YES YOU Shangida! "winks" I'll see ...
