I don't own The Crow!

The Crow: Bloodstained Ground

"Magnum! Call Shades!" Shatter burst into Magnum's apartment.

"Whoa, chill out Shat," Magnum laughed drunkenly. "What's up with the fake blood on ya, man?"

"Someone killed Vapor! They stabbed her with her own bloody bow!" Shatter was in hysterics.

"Whoa, slow down, Shat. Who did Vapor stab?"

"SHE WAS STABBED! You drunken fool! It was a crazy chick and some dude with their faces all painted up!" Shatter shrieked and began raving and pacing.

"Oh? Sounds like someone is having a good time," Magnum chuckled drunkenly, as he swayed and fell into one of his chairs.

"Magnum! Call SHADES!" Shatter begged the drunken nit-wit.

"You call him if you're so worried man," Magnum's head rolled back and he passed out.

"SHIT!" Shatter freaked out, grabbed Magnum's keys and stole his friend's car. As the car peeled out of the drive, he saw two painted faces standing in his way. He shrieked and floored the car, and ran into a light pole.

"How stupid can villains be, Eric?" Noel shook her head at the hopeless idiot in the wreck.

"Are we not villains, Noel?" Eric replied softly.

"No, we're the avengers. The ones who extract their vengeance upon those who are the villains," Noel replied gently.

"We're Crow," Eric smirked.

"That we are," Noel laughed. The idiot in the wreck began to cry and plead as Noel walked towards him, "Now Shatter, where is Shades and Magnum?"

"M-Magnum is drunk off his…" Shatter choked as Eric grabbed him by the neck.

"It's not nice to swear in front of a lady," Eric growled.

"Eric, don't kill him yet… I have plans for him," Noel laughed.

"Please…" Shatter begged.

"Oh, isn't that cute? The guy who was one of my murderers is pleading for his life," Noel smiled deceptively sweet at the man Eric was holding captive. "I think I'll go take care of dear Magnum. Now, don't go anywhere, Shatter."

Shatter began to whine and shake, wetting his pants as he watched Noel skip into the house where Magnum was staying. He heard a gasp and a bit of yelling before he heard two gunshots. Shatter began to cry, feeling sorry for himself, and fearing what was to happen to him. He began to try praying, but he gave up the minute Eric stared him down.

"You know, a people like you are what created beings like me and my friend," Noel snarled, further succeeding in frightening the already traumatized killer.

"I'll take you!" Shatter screamed, "I'll take you to Shades!"

"That's a good little birdie," Noel smirked cruelly.

Eric couldn't help but roll his eyes as Shatter passed out, "Did you really need to do that?"

"No, but it was fun!" Noel laughed cheerfully, before becoming serious, "Eric, I know I'm not supposed to find this fun or funny, and I don't. However, I do find it ironic that they died by their names or that they died by their own instrument. And as soon as we're done here, we get to go back to our loved ones, right?"

"Yes."

"That's all I want, except I want to go one step further. I want my sister to be safe."

"Urgh…" Shatter was waking back up.

"Ah, little bird, sing to us where your last member is," Eric chuckled, having his go at being cruel.

"Downtown Houston! He's downtown by the big church and that huge waterfall! He's got an office in that business building next to that lame duck park!" Shatter sang like a canary.

Sorry for being late, I had (A) writers block and(B) my computer was on the fritz! Well, hopefully it'll let me update...

Sending mischief your way!
