The Other Snake :: A Meryl and Solidus Fanfic Chapter 7: Past meets Present
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"You will not stand in my way!!!!!" He shouted in her ear..."YOU HEAR ME?!!! I'll do whatever I want!! We are in the verge of victory and not even YOU or ANYONE will stand in the way of my dreams!!!"
He pressed the knife harder against her neck. He could see her ebony skin glistening with sweat. "Nervous aren't we? He asked. What happened to the woman who took care of me, huh? What happened to the woman who never feared me?!! Look at you! You fear me now like a prey fears a predator. Hahahahaha! You truly are weak!"
"Because you've turned into a monster, George! And that "woman" --- that woman you want --- she took care of a man who once cared. A man who once cared about those around him! I should be the one asking whatever happened to the man who was once there.The man who once loved m---"
"Don't even say it! That was all a lie, you hear?!!!" He pressed the knife harder against her skin and pulled her forehead back, exposing her neck more. He knew that with just one small pressure, he'll be able to set the river of blood free to glide down her neck. He felt her swallow with fear as she ghasped.
He was sweating. He felt drops of sweat rolling down his forehead [ She's a threat!!! A threat to me!! I have to kill her!!! ] he thought to himself. But he was sweating...
"Look around you, George!!! Look at the children!!!"
The children looked at them. Yes. They were in the children's quarters. Ainke snuck in there to rescue them. Free them from the bonds of George Sears --- the man who used them to kill others. The man who robbed them the right to be children, innocent and pure. She just couldn't take what he was doing to them anymore. Everyday of their lives they were fed with gunpowder to sedate them. They were taught to kill without mercy. Everyday they were given animals to slaughter and were taught that such things are those deserved by the enemy.
From children, he turned them into angels of death. Cherubs of pain and blood. She had to put a stop to all of this. She had to let them escape. She had to set them free!!!
She already had a plan. She already had a plane ready to leave Africa. A plane big enough to carry all the children controlled by George Sears But now all of those plans are about to die together with his victims.drowned in the river of her own blood, from her own neck.
The children looked at George and Ainka. Their eyes seemed so empty and sullen. At the times she would treat their wounds after an attack, she would often wonder if there was still any life left in those black, brown, blue eyes. They didn't even flinch in pain as she stitched them up to stop the bleeding.
One of them had bleach-blond hair. He was the one they called Jack the Ripper. He was one of the children Ainka felt pity for the most. He just didn't have any more life left in him. The only thing he knew was to kill. She didn't know of there was still hope for the child, but she was determined to still rescue him together with the others.
"Well, Ainka.It was nice meeting you. Thank you for all the help back then. Hahahaha.too bad things have to end so bitterly between us." He pulled her forehead back harder and was about to strike her deep and true, when.
"Stop it, please!!!!!" One of the children shouted. He was a part of Jack's group. Mr. Sears please stop!!! The child ran to Ainka and wrapped his arms around her. "Please don't kill her! We love her! She takes good care of us!!!! She's like a mother to us!!!". Tears started rolling down the child's eyes.
The other children didn't move. They just sat and stood there without any reaction. But this one child --- this one child was there, clinging to Ainka as if he was scared to lose her.
Solidus shot a look at Jack.
There was suddenly a gunshot and the child fell on the floor, a pool of blood starting to build around him, as more of it came out of his mouth. Jack sat in his place, holding a gun, smoke rising from its nozzle.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Ainka cried out!!!!! James, the child who died, was one of her favorites. He would bring her flowers everyday and would call her mother every now and then. He was special, and he knew that what their group was doing was wrong.
Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she saw the lifeless body of James on the floor. He looked up to the ceiling, all empty and lifeless, more blood coming out of his flail, young body. James was dead.
Ainka stretched out her arms, trying to reach out to him, and then George sliced her throat open. He pulled the knife from the center of her neck, up to her ear. Her eyes opened wide with shock. Blood started to drip from her neck, gliding down to her chest. Her mouth started to release the same as she tried to call out James' name. Still, she reached out to the dead child on the floor, and fell on top of him..dead.
George wiped the sweat from his forehead and held the bloody knife to his side.
"Burn their bodies." He told the other children. "Now you see what happens to those who defy me!!! Let us not remember this event again. Let us all bury this in the past! Sleep well, soldiers. There is yet work to be done tomorrow. Sleep well."
He exited the children's quarters and went off to his own room. "What a day. He told himself." And then he smiled "Another obstacle out of the way. Hahahaha.."
Solidus pressed the tip of the knife against Meryl's throat and she felt her entire body clench as she swallowed her final breath of air.....
Solidus held the knife tight. In fact, too right for his own comfort. So tight that he could feel his fist clenched so hard, that it was shaking.
"Do it, George!!!" She yelled at him. Was she scared? She didn't know. But she could feel the sweat all over her body. She could feel her heart beating faster as he pressed the knife harder against her. Meryl tried to move but she couldn't. He was just too strong for her. But why was she able to beat him up a while ago? Was he faking all of it? All that weakness?
"Don't taunt me, woman!!!!" He held her tighter. "I'LL KILL YOU!!! You mean NOTHING to me!!!!"
Then he looked at her. He saw her smooth neck, her cheeks, the face he was just kissing a while ago. The face and body that he didn't want to let go. But there was fear in them now. No matter how Meryl denied her fear, he could feel her breath and her heart beating faster. But he had to kill her. She was an obstacle. She stood in his way...Just like a woman he knew a long..long time ago.
But why is Meryl an obstacle? Why did he have to kill her now? Is it because she's corrupted him? Corrupted his mind so much that he's finally fallen in lo---
Solidus closed his eyes and shook his head, trying to shake that thought away. He never loved. In his entire existence, he's NEVER loved anyone. Or did he? Maybe he did..but he KILLED her. He killed that WOMAN. That woman who loved him so much and took care of him no matter who he was.
He was a monster.Even he knew it. He can never love or be loved in return. That is his life, and he's happy with it. Therefore, he must end this one obstacle again. [She's going to die after all.] He told himself. [Might as well kill her now before THEY get to her.]
"You don't have to do this.You can't force yourself to do something that you don't want to." She whispered shakily.
"Don't tell me what I need to do!!!!! I do not need anything from you, you hear?!!!! STOP CORRUPTING ME!!!!" He pulled her forehead back harder as he pressed the knife against her neck with more force. So much force that a small stream of blood rolled down on it. He cut her..
Meryl ghasped and let out a small, faint cry as she felt the sharp pain in her neck. She tried to struggle, but she knew that the more she struggled, the more the knife will press against her. Meryl knew it was the end. Everything she'd worked hard for, everything she trained for, everything she fought for in the past were all going to end here, in the hands of Snake's brother.
Solidus saw the blood streaming down her neck. Then he felt his body shake more....His fist with the knife shaking the most.
Meryl felt solidus' unsteady breath on the back of her neck, as if he was going to shout or cry anytime soon. Meryl felt the uneasiness in the air. [Maybe this is my chance! My chance to catch him off guard and kill him!]..But his hold on her was still too tight. Tight enough, that she cannot make any offensive moves.
Solidus couldn't hold his emotions back any longer! If he didn't act now, he knew he would not kill her. So he had to kill her now. He had to take down another obstacle again, like he did so many years ago. This all had to end NOW!!!!
"Meryl...Goodbye.." Solidus took a deep breath, closed his eyes, pulled the knife back and then plunged it into Meryl, slicing her smooth skin. He felt her flesh as the knife sliced it and cut it open. He felt so much of her body, her flesh in that one movement.
Blood started to drip from the wound as Meryl fell on her knees on the ground. Her mind felt so empty.her eyes stared at nothingness. She can feel her blood gushing out of the deep wound. She can feel every ounce of her red self escaping her body.
Anyway, I guess this chapter will answer some of your questions regarding Solidus' past... Enjoy ^_^
