Mee: Ok, I know I've been realy late with my chapters but please forgive mee! Anyways, my E-T-C-S will do the editing only when she has the chance to... which won't be that often. But anyways, please send in those reviews! Oh yea, and I guess I might have to do this again:
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Characters from Demon Diary. But I do own this maddening story, Cathrine, moonlight shadows (and if you don't review I'll send my minions after you!), and other creepy and ghastly creatures in this story that I make up. There. Done.
Mee: And I should of put it in chapter five but I thought of Cathrine like... in 5 minutes or so. And I guess every 2 chapters I'll do that cause to me it gets super annoying. So let's continue on with the story now, shall we? Enough of my gibbber gabber, idle banter.
THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HAS REVIEWED!!!! n . n Your all so kind!!

Chapter 6
"Well, like I was saying. It happened a long time ago. About when I was eleven."
"And how old are you now?" Interupted Chris.
"Aye, I'm only 16." She replied and went on, "But that's not important. Anyways, when I was 11, in my world, a sacrafice is made to the devilish creatures of this world. It's the only way to keep peace between our kind. I wasn't supposed to be the sacrafice, only because I lived alone on the outskirts of the village. But, as soon as the Devil had ordered the King to fetch a sacrafice that was worthy of obaying commands, "beautiful", and perfect to be a good wife. All the girls inside the village were too lazy and cared more about their hair and nails and such. I on the other hand... worked for my living. I kept my small land alive and prosperous. I did my best to help out with the village as they did for me."
"Are you saying you grew up alone?" Asked Chris, who was still, and always, going to come up with the questions.
"Hai. So desu ne."
"What happened to your parents?" Questioned Eclipse. Chris just looked at him with surprise and a small flare of jealousy.
It's MY job to ask the questions! Chris complained.
"Well... They died when I was only 6. A group of theives came to my house and burned it down. My mom and dad told me to go and run to the forest. I hide behind the tree and saw my mother and father get slaughterd." She stoped and looked down at her feet. Cathrine took a deep breath and continued on. "After they got their fill of my mother and father's flesh, they left parading through the dirt road as though as they had a successful mission. That they did though, that they did..."
"I'm sorry I asked." Eclipse said sympathetically. He was really sorry he asked. He knew that Chris had the familiar fate, but thankfully he did not remember what had happened.
Chris looked straight at Cathrine. He could feel the saddening vibes come from her heart, but she showed no emotion. Nothing. Eerie. He thought. Though, I don't blame her. She must be trying to keep the tears back. I for sure, would be bawling. It just must be her way of dealing with things... to surpress her sadness.
Cathrine then looked at him, straight in the eyes. Her silver eyes pierced though his soul and he couldn't move. His heart had skipped a beat and couldn't breath for a second. Those eyes are so... silver... so pure... like... like metal. Cold.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face or anything?" She asked. Her metalic eyes lost their captivating shine as she just stared at Chris, waiting for an answer, in way that was like a deer caught in the headlights.
"Uh, no! Not at all. It's just... were'd you get your eyes?"
Eclipse looked at Chris in a weird, astonished way. What is he talking about? He thought. His face looked very puzzled but when he looked her straight in the eyes as well... Those eyes are so captivating. I, personally, have never seen eyes like those. Amazing. Her eyes look like the moon on that one night.........
"Huh? What's with my eyes? Personally I don't see anything weird about blue eyes."
"But their not blue." Chris had declaired.
"What...do... you...mean?" She asked puzzled and utterly confused.
"Your eyes. They're not blue. They're silver."
"Umm. I don't know your name but... Mister? Directed towards Eclipse Are they really silver?" Cathrine asked, feeling a small sweatmark slowly drip down the back of her head.
"Ahem. I believe a proper introduction is in order. My name is Eclipse."
"Oooooooo! That's a fancy name! Wow... Eclipse... It just rolls off yer tounge." She mumbled his name more the same why Raenef did when Eclipse first told him his name. "Ok then, Eclipse."
"And over here is the ignorant, blubbering bafoon." Eclipse sighed as he put his hand towards the direction of Chris.
"I AM NOT A MONKEY!" He growled as he got up in a fighting postition. "COME ON! BRING IT QUEER!" He retorted.
"What?! How dare you call me, Eclipse, the Demon of the Third Order, A QUEER!"
"I'll call you a queer all I want! Queer, queer, queer, queer, queer, queer!" Chris squeeled. Not only at the top of his lungs, but he was also dancing around the room in a chicken-monkey-like pose.
"Why you little filth! I'll tear you limb from limb!" He yelled. But before he could get up, Chris ran behind Cathrine in fear of the ever so popular game: Let's burn Chris' mouth off so he can shut the hell up.
"Would you two both stop this immature nonsense? You both act either like a married couple or siblings. Sheesh." Sighed Cathrine, who already had her fill of their rivalry that was more like a fight between 5 year olds, constantly taunting the phrase "I know what you are but what am I?" back and forth. Their reaction. was much more appealing, and... quite humorous as well.
"A MARRIED COUPLE?!" They both spazzed. Their jaw droped and stared at her. Eyes wide, jaw to floor, you get the picture.
"That is stupidity! Absolutly no, and unheard of!" Eclipse tried to explain. His head was red with furry and read to blow it's top. Chris on the other hand... stood there like the dumbfounded idiot he was.
"Well. That certainly got off topic. But let me answer the rest of my questions." Her smiling face turned into a solid, serious expression. That once again showed no emotion."I honestly don't know what my eyes turned silver. Maybe because of the fact that I've been down here for the longest of times. And continueing on with my story..." She added, but posed to rethink.
Chris and Eclipse then settled down back on the edge of the bed and turned to listen attentively.
"But before I even knew about it, some of my good friends, and even someone I personally liked, came over in the midist of day and told me that I was going somewhere. I didn't know what they ment, but behind me came a blind fold and apparently they knocked me out. I didn't know what went on but I soon found myself before the portal that connected my old word with this one. Things happened really fast then. But before I got dragged into the darkness, I saw who was totally responsible for what happened."
Eclipse nodded and finished the last of his soothing drink. Chris on the other hand, looked interested to know more, but his eyes had had enough and they needed his sleep. His small and young body had it's exercise. Cathrine looked in Chris' direction and smiled.
"Tired?" She asked coyly.
"No." He yawned and stretched, his hand accidentally bumping into Eclipse's head.
"Watch where your stretching moron." Snaped Eclipse, giving Chris a death glare. But Chris didn't even notice. He was too tired to care anyways.
"What about you Eclipse? You tired too?"
"No. I'll be fine, thank you."
"Well then. Chris, would you like to catch some shut-eye?" Cathrine asked. The thought of sleep really got his attention.
"Really? I could...-yawn-... go to sleep?" He asked surprised.
"Really, really." She replied with a smile. Chris pushed Eclipse right off the bed and flopped down. As soon as his head had hit the pillow, he fell asleep.
"Little punk..." Mumbled Eclipse as thoughts of Chris' burning mouth danced in his head like a little kid would dream of candy.
"Aww come on Eclipse!" She gently punch his shoulder playfully and looked towards her unfinished paintings. "He's just a kid so cut him some slack."
"He's probably older than you are." He mocked.
"Maturely? Doesn't seem so." Eclipse chuckled at that remark. Sure Chris could be mature... in his own, little way. He looked towards her canvases in the corner of the small room and his eyes went wide. Just the ability that she seemed to have was just amazing. Pictures of landscapes you could only find in dreams and magical creatures to match. Some of them were full of light, others were depressing and dark. But all the same, they were beautiful.
"Those are... gorgeous pieces of art." Eclipse complemented.
"Oh those? Their not finished yet."
"How'd you get the supplies?"
"Easy. I stole them while I was in the light."
"The light?"
"Yes, the light. Abviously you haven't been here before."
"Of course I haven't. And once I rescue someone I'll leave this place too." Cathrine's face froze and she stared at him. Leaving? She thought. But no one can leave! Once your here your here forever... what is he thinking? But... on the other hand... what if he has the power to? He might... then maybe... I can use him to get out of here.
"Wow. Sounds like plan. So, who you saving? A princess of yours or are you sent here because you can't stand hearing the cries of a damsel in distress?" She asked, staring at him attentively. How sweet it was that he had come in the parols of darkness and creatures who wouldn't stop to think twice about killing something, to save someone he loved. Sigh... How romantic...
"Well..." He noised. He paused to think about it. Master Raenef is... well... sort of feminine looking... but none the less he is in fact a young demon lord. Not mistress ar anything other than that. He is a lord. My lord... "I guess you could say that."
"What do you mean 'guess'?" She asked playfully. She wanted him to get at something, but he wasn't watching. Shit! Should I just tell her or... ahhhh... I don't know what to do! Screamed a little voice inside his head. But, Erutis and Chris understood... but in their own way they still mock me... fuck it!
"Go on, tell me!" Cathrine commanded. She wanted him to get to his point, and she wasn't patient about it.
"Well..." He noised. Then a muffled voice came from the sleeping "beauty" and caught the attention of both of them. Two surprising sentences that was overthrilled by Cathrine, and the end of Eclipse.
"He's gay. We're here to rescue his lover, Raenef."
"What?" Squeeled Cathrine in delight, "Are you really gay?" and turned to Eclipse who tried so hard to keep a straight, angry face. It wasn't working.
"No. That's absolut-"
"Aw! That's so cute!" Cathrine butt in. She did a little dance around the room, paused, and settled down. "Sorry. Sudden outburst." By now Eclipse was fumming. Only that his anger quickly reduced when thoughts of Raenef came flooding into his head. Raenef was still out there. He was waiting for him. Somewhere; waiting. How he longed to see his face again. Only to realize that he was just wasting time standing here. All he needed was some rest, but, he would not rest untill Raenef was safe in his arms. Maybe he was being too selfish and greedy. But this was how he felt.
Chris sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes. He got his few moments of sleep, so he was good.
"Well Chris," Eclipse said, his face returning back to it's emotionless, cold stare. "It's time to go. We're here to rescue Raenef and Find Erutis. We've wasted enough time here and who knows what's happening to the both of them." He turned to face Cathrine and spoke in his nice, formal tone. "Thank you for hosting us Cathrine, it was greatly apprectiated."
"Ah no problem. But..." She noised, "How else are you gonna find yer peoples?"
"Well..." Eclipse said, his brain racking to find a quick answer.
"Why don't you come with us." Asked Chris. He too thought that without her guidence, they probably could be lost and never get out of here. Could she be trusted? Of course. Chris thought. I mean, after all, she did keep them into her home even though they invaded it, and she did her best to be a god hostess. In which she succeded.
"Why not eh?" She looked to Eclipse, seeking his answer.
"I supose it would be a good idea."
"Alright! Then it's agreed." Cathrine spoke excitedly. "I'm commin' with ya. Just let me get ready." She moved abouts in the small room and grabbed a couple things. A weapon, some strange package, another weapon, and some potions. She stuffed them all in a small bag except for the first weapon she grabbed. It was a bow that had silver designs carved right into the wood. The wood had a red-oak colour and the cord was silver as well. "I'm all ready now. So lets go."
She headed out the door and looked around at the place that she was glad to see go. Sure she'd miss her paintings but sometimes you have to let go of some of the things you spent hours on. Things that would bring you happeness.
These two people, she figured, would get her out of this hell hole. The only thing this place was good for was nothing. So she would journey on with Eclipse and Chris, meet up with their persons they needed to rescue, follow them until they find some sort of portal to get out of here, and then she would split. Of course thanking them kindly for guiding her out of hell. Yes. This is what she would do. But... for some strange reason, she felt wrong about leaving here for their world. What is their world like? Is it perfect? Or is it just like my home? What if there's more danger? Ha! If there's more danger, surely I'll be able to survive that if I've lived here since I was 11! She thought. These were her dreams. The ones she's always held on to.
Meanwhile inside the house, Chris and Eclipse were talking about her.
"Do you think she can be trusted?" Asked Chris, who was making sure that Eclipse's feelings were not excluded out of this. Maybe it was time they could at least be aquantinces. After all, they were in this together.
"I don't know yet. She seems trust worthy though."
"I agree. Do you think she's using us to get out of here?"
"Perhaps. But, she's the one who's helping us find Master Raenef and Erutis."
"Ya. I guess it's a deal then. She helps us, we help her."
Just then Cathrine's popped by the doorway.
"Are we going or not?" She asked hastly.
"Yes. Let's go." Was all what Eclipse had said. They exited the small one room house and stood towards the north.
"So... who are we going to rescue first?" Asked Cathrine as she turned to face the two men. Chris just looked at Eclipse, who in fact, didn't know what to do. The both of them wanted to split and each go their own ways, but to do that would be futile. Chris was worried about both of Raenef and Erutis, but whatever took Erutis had to pay. Who knows what he or it, was doing to her. Shivers sped up his spine just thinking of the possibilities. Yet, if the moonlight shadows were settled down, they could be currently be munching on the young demon lord. "Well? Who are we going to rescue first?" She asked again.
"What do you know about the 'moonlight shadows' Cathrine?" Eclipse asked. He was intent of rescuing Lord Raenef first. Unless if they still have time, they could try and find Erutis first.
"Well... Lets see..." She noised, "I do know that they are minions of the devil. And since
their minions of the devil, the commotions they've been making indicate that there's another ritual to be held in a couple of days."
"How do you know this?" Asked Chris.
"Oh, it's easy. Cause every so often, you'll see them wandering around. They only come out when celebrations are held. Their main purpose is to round up dark souls that have not yet transformed."
"What kind of celebrations?" Asked Eclipse. He didn't really like the sound of this...
"Sacrafices. I don't know what the sacrafices are for but I guess depending on how many moonlight shadows are out kidnapping then it determines how big the celebration is." Replied Cathrine. She didn't really know why they were asking this but by the expresion on Eclipse's face gave it all away. "But it will be a few days before the sacrafice is made. I've noted this down while I lived here." She tried to reasure the both of them.
"First we need to get Erutis. No matter what." Commanded Chris. "If we can find her first, we could command her kidnapper to tell us were the moonlight shadows gather."
"I already know that one." Cathrine assured. "I was already there. Trust me, it's not a pretty sight."
"But our best bet is to find Erutis." Chris said. "I know what direction that asshole took her. So if we make haste we could find her." He was realy intent on rescuing Erutis first. He would if he could go and dispatch with Eclipse and Cathrine and go and find her on his own. But he knew that if he did he would easily get killed. He got badly injured by that "guy" and knew that if trifled with him again he knew that he wouldn't come out of the fight alive. He had to persuade Eclipse to agree with him to get Erutis first.
"Only if we make haste," Eclipse said. "We'll go and get Erutis first."
Wow. Chris thought, That was suprisingly easy.
"Well then," Cathrine spoke. "It's settled then. We're going to find this 'Erutis' and rescue her from...er... whatever kidnapped her in the first place." She started to walk to the south when she stopped abruptedly. "Uhh Chris," She asked. "Which direction did this person or thing take her?"
"That way." He pointed towards the east of this land.
"Towards the light eh. By chance, was it a he?"
"I don't know. It looked like it, and it had long curly blond locks for hair and crystal eyes." Cathrine's eyes widened and settled down again. "What?"
"That was the lord of the light. He's known to kidnap women." She said as her faced showed worry. Her face showed some sort of disgusted look. "And anyone could really guess what someone like him would do with unsuspecting women..." Both eyes of Eclipse and Chris went wide and their faces pale. The gastly thought that came to their minds had been a not to pleasing one at that.
"Then we must hurry." Said Eclipse, still shaken by the thought. But... the description of the lord of light... seemed to fit the description of someone quite familliar...
He shook those thoughts out of his head and regained his colour back to his face. Chris on the other hand...
Oh my god!! That's... That's just... Oh my god! No! This can't happen! I-I must be wrong... Thought Chris. As much as he wouldn't want to know what could happen or would happen, those thoughts just kept comming in like the waves on the shore. Eclipse put his hand on Chris' shoulder.
"It's time we should go and look for her." Was what he had said. Just that sentence could give some amount of hope that they could find Erutis before it was too late...
