First of all, my apologies to the ones I kept waiting so long, SORRY!
Thanks for your (im)patience ^_~ with me. I promise I will try to post more
stuff more often. The thing is, I don't have internet at home, so it is
sometimes kind of difficult to get anything posted, bet hey I'll try.
Besides that, it's been a mixture of different reasons why I haven't posted
for so long. Jail has indeed been the main cause.. You know, the usual,
grand theft auto, murder, plagiary.. ( That's a (lame) joke. Srry bout
that.
No inspiration (and I really mean NO inspiration AT ALL, how d'ya call it?
Writers block or somethin'?), lazyness, no internet, no time etc etc.
Although I still have a writer's block goin' on, I'll give it a go again
with this chapter. It can be quite crappy since I haven't written jackshit
for so long, and updating might take me some time again. I don't want to
disappoint you with the usual boring soap-opera ending. Hopefully it will
not take as long as 2 years though. I Hope. Just warning ya for the
possible crappy factor.
Sorry again. ^_^'
Second of all, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE REVIEWS! My lord, I really thought I totally absolutely sucked at fanfics, but your reviews were really good for me! Thanks for urging me to continue. 'Preciate it. Yay readers! ~does a little silly 'go readers, go readers' dance~
Third of all, I've been blabbing for way to long now, so on with the fic!!!
R&R plze, let me know what you think. And if you want me to continue of course ^_~ (
Small warning, some mushy/fluffy stuff.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 7
Disclaimer: Me - does not own FTTD or it's characters. It's not worth it to sue me, trust me.
"Let's talk business!? What the hell are you talking about, after what you just did. If it weren't for Sara, you would be dead now and you know it." Merlock spat out. The boy sighed. "I grow bored with this you know. I already explained to you, my master has sent me to come for you. As I'm sure you will remember from our previous encounter. I'm also sure that you will come with me. You have no choice, you saw how powerless you are against me. You couldn't even protect one little mortal girl. And there she be laying now. " He laughed in the coldhearted manner Merlock was hating more and more. His guilt started to pop up again, full force. He looked at Sara for a brief moment, who still layed flat out on the floor. Pain stinged his heart. He failed her, just as he had failed his mission. He quickly returned his attention to the boy, to make sure he wouldn't make any more moves. Things were going on inside him that he never had experienced before. "Why do I have to come with you, what business does your master have with me?" Merlock asked in a gruff tone. "That is not for me to say. He will become your new master. I owe you no explanations." Merlock folded his arms. "Oh yes you do. You owe me a lot of things, bastard. For one.. YOUR LIFE!!! " Merlock flashed with one dazzling leap towards the boycreature. This time he hadn't anticipated Merlocks move. To his, and to Merlocks surprise, Merlock hit him with immense strength in the stomach. The boy fell to his knees and looked down in disbelief for a moment. Before he got up, Merlock delivered an admirable kick to the boys face. "This one's for Sara, f*cking bastard!" The boy flew backwards and hit the wall pretty much the same as Merlock did a while ago. It drew some blood from the boys mouth. Merlock was surprised to see that it wasn't red at all. It had a distinct blue colour. The boy snarled and growled. And got up. "Do you honestly think such a measly attack will stop me?" For once, Merlock laughed a bitter, hard laugh. "Ha, ya really think that was all I got!? You're an even greater fool I took you for. You made the mistake of making me more angry than I've ever been before. I will not allow you again to lay a hand on the beautiful Sara. And do not even think of using your powers AGAIN!" Merlock shouted the last word when he was lunging another martial assault on the boy. Though this time it was not entirely unexpected, due to the sudden burst and increase of speed and strength, Merlock planted a perfect slam with his hand and arm frontal in the boy's face. He felt something break. The boy roared out loud and threw Merlock away by taking hold of his arm and easily throw him against the other wall. This time it was Merlock who gritted his teeth in pain again. He didn't have the time to think about how it was possible that now all of a sudden he was getting the upperhand in this battle. His vision suddenly was drawn to an object hanging in a nearby minishrine. He laughed softly and his fangs showed a little. It was his weapon, the ominous inherited cane. His weapon.
In the blink of an eye he caught hold of the thing. The boy saw this and laughed. Merlock was surprised the boy could still laugh despite the pain of having all of his sharp teeth knocked out of his mouth. The blue fluid was still dripping from the wound. 'Allright. I'll admit, I didn't think I'd have to use this threat so soon in the fight that was sure to come. My master has ordered me not to kill you, or injure you to badly. He did however instruct me to bring you to him, at all costs. Well, there she be, the biggest cost right now." Suddenly the attention returned to Sara, who was oblivious to all that was happening around her. Still totally paralysed and unconscious. Merlock grew more worried and suspicious again. "What do you mean?" He asked in a low, angry voice. The boy's arrogant smirk returned again and for a brief moment, he looked like a smug child. "I kissed her." He stated it, as if it would explain everything. Merlock growled. 'Don't remind me. I still have to kill you for that." The boy, now back to his terrifying self again, smiled an evil smile. "You better not. If you care for her life, that is. I can kill her now in an instant, and I won't even have to touch her." Merlock's eyes grew large and he showed his fangs in an enraged manner. "WHAT-DO-YOU-MEAN-??" He said out loud. 'I hold part of her soul in my grasp. I took it the moment we kissed. ' the boy touched his lips and groaned.' And what a kiss it was.." He sighed, knowing this would set Merlock off. Merlock stormed straight at him again, yet again losing his so wellknown selfcontrolled temper. "HOW DARE YOU! DIE!" Merlock shouted out loud. The boy held out a hand and stopped Merlock with his strange magic. This time Merlock wasn't paralysed, but he was stopped. "Stop this nonsense right now or she DIES here and now. There will be no killing by you, and if you play things my way, there will be no killing from my side. Remember, I took a vital piece of Sara's soul. Containing something insignificant to me, but very dear to you: her life. If I destroy only part of her soul, the rest will most likely die. And if she doesn't die, she will become an empty shell. A vegetable plant, never able to escape from my nightmareworld, inside the hell of my powerful mind. You wouldn't want either of those things to happen do you? Take no risks. Now drop the cane. " Merlock hesitated for a moment. Was it speaking the truth? Was the boy really capable of killing or trapping Sara, his only true love? She would then never know his true feelings towards her. His unexpressioned love. The moment hesitation caused the proof that followed; that the evil boy was apparently telling the truth. A soft sound, a tiny moan of pain could be heard from Sara. 'Please, Merlock. Get him. Don't let him win. You should know better.' She whispered. Merlock was by her side in an instant and kneeled down on one knee beside her. He touched her face, which was burning hot with fever again. She opened her eyes a short moment and there they were again, those beautiful deep eyes he had fallen in love with a long time ago. She tried to smile, a weak small smile. 'Sshh." Merlock whispered back. 'Don't speak please. I will never let him win, not after what he did.. Sara, I- words can never express how much I regret putting you in this position, I.. I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry." Merlock was interrupted in this sensitive moment. "DEAR GOD, is this theatrical piece going to drag on all day!? You allow a victim to awake for one moment, and they spill their disgusting emotions out again."
Sara winced and got up a little, despite the protests of Merlock. With all her might she turned towards the boy. With a little hoarse voice, she spoke to him. "Shut your mouth. You can never win. Because truly you are nothing more than an empty, weak creation of darkness. A minion. With no true entity of your own. You disgust me." She spat at him with her last strength. After that she lay down again, supported by Merlock who closely eyed the boy. Who was fuming by just Sara's stabbing words. "I will show you just how weak I am, worthless WENCH!!" He yelled. He furrowed his brows and muttered something in an incomprehensible language. His eyes lighted for a moment and he pointed at Sara. She suddenly sucked in all the air her longs could take and screamed a tormented scream. A shriek of pure pain. Her eyes opened widely for a moment and the last thing she saw before she fell back into the world of oblivion, was the shocked stare of Merlock, who held her in his arms. A terrified look in his crimson eyes. "NO, DAMN IT! SARA!" He looked away from Sara with small tears of pain, rage and frustration. When he looked back, her eyes showed a blank expression. She was gone again.
"Now do you see what I mean? I can take her life in an instant, should I desire to do so. This was just a small example." Merlock carefully let go of Sara and layed her back down on the floor. He felt as if he could explode. His red eyes were burning like an infernal blaze. Even though Sara told him to fight this guy. Even though his tough timebureau training taught him otherwise. If only she knew that he would never EVER risk her life. He valued it more than his own. He dropped his cane. "I could kill you here and now.." Merlock growled in a deep, vampiric manner, 'And I probably should..But.. I will not endanger the life of this girl. She is innocent. You let her go alive and well, and I come with you to see your coward master." The boy chuckled. "She holds your heart in her hands, and she doesn't even know it. Heh. You are a sentimental fool. I'd never expected that the famous timedetective had such a huge weak point. As long as she's alive, you know you will always have to worry for her? If I kill her, your worries will be gone, you can let go of your hold over your vampiretraits. No more orders, worries.." 'SILENCE!" Merlock shouted. "I will come. That is enough. But not until you restore Sara. Release her soul back into her. Free from your grasp at all times. " The boy laughed out loud again. "And how will I know you will come with me without a fight? No, Merlock the time detective, I need insurance." Merlock curled up one side of his upper lip and represses a growl. "You want insurance? Then you'll get insurance. I WILL come with you, without a fight. But I also want my insurance. And in a way, I already got mine. Remember the blow to your stomach a little while earlier? Well, let's say that the tiny dart sticking out of your stomach contains enough explosive venom to kill a hurd of the servants of darkness. Even 'powerful' you." Now it was Merlock's time to grin evilly, despite the circumstances. The boy looked down and indeed, there it was. He reached for it, but Merlock made a disapproving sound. "Touch it with evil hands, and it well set off. If I touch this button on my jacket, it sets off. Like I said. Insurance and guarantee for Sara's safety, and I come with you. And you won't die now. What do you say?" The boy let out a bonechilling sound that sounded like an inhuman roar of frustration and anger. He calmed down quickly and smirked back. "Fine then. I get mine and you get yours. Deal. Now come with me."
The boy turned and with a graceful pace he left the house of Merlock Holmes. Merlock picked up his cane and quickly went to Sara for the last time. "Please forgive me, beautiful Sara. I will return to you as soon as I can. But right now, I have an enemy to expose of. I have no choice. Harm will never come you way again. I promise.." He leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead, which was still hot. He ran his fingers through her full hair and stood up. "And please explain to Bindi and the others. Don't let Flint follow me. It is for the best." He turned and followed after the boy, looking over his shoulder for the last time at Sara.
He wondered if he would ever see her again. Maybe it was for the best if he didn't. Although he doubted if he could ever grow over the pain that thrived in his heart, he swore never to let anything like this happen ever again. For Sara's sake.
The boy was waiting for him outside in a floating timevehicle. 'It's time." The boy said. Merlock got up and in a blue blaze that vanished as quick as it came, they disappeared into the rivers of time and space, to the place where his nemesis awaited him.
