YAY! I FINALLY GOT 2 AND 3 OF CRESCENT MOON:ahem: But that's not the point... I've decided to do chapter six since I have nothing else to do and also 'cause I have a very "patient" fan waiting to read the rest of the story. lol
Disclaimer: I do not own Elphame's Choice or Crescent Moon.
Last time in Another World: "There is going to be a war between the Moonlight Bandits and the Clan MacCallan..." Kuri woke up with Sel sitting on top of her with a knife in her hand. "We've been waiting for you, m'lady." "What portal?" The hungry look on her face defenitely wasn't a very pleasant one...
Chapter 6 - Sworn to Secrecy
"We did not mean to though so no need to get violent..." Nevin said a bit acidically. He took a step closer to Sel, challenging her in her strength. They both glared at eachother straight in the eye and got ready to lunge at eachother's throat. Sel was too self centered to care about anyone getting hurt and Nevin never did take kindly to threats. As they both got into a fighting position and started running at eachother, Kuri stepped into the center of it all, only to get wounded and then thrown to the side like she was nothing but a rag doll. Not too long after was Curran at her side trying to help her up and away from the two maniacs who were throwing eachother into the walls. Blood slatters were shown on the walls as both of them threw daggers at eachother, trying to slice eachothers throats.
Kuri's anger was rising and her eyes were blook red with anger, "WOULD YOU TWO FREAKS CUT IT OUT!" The walls shook and everyone froze in their tracks as their eyes turned to Kuri. She straightened herself out and glared at them in the eyes one by one, "Now, we need to figure out how to stop this war. If you do not mind, I need to ask some questions to a good friend of mine. So no fighting. Sel, get back over to the others and tell them I might be a bit late again. And then you'll know where to meet me at." She slowly turned around to face Elphame, "Make sure no one finds out about this. If word gets out, there might be some consequences. Everything has to be like every normal day."
Sel gave out a very unlady-like snort and smirked at Nevin, "You're not that bad. Just be glad I didn't go full strength on you." She shoved him back and then started walking off behind Kuri who was just walking out of the door they had come from.
"Heh, she's quite the wild one. I like her..." Nevin smirked as he looked after her. When he found his brother smiling at him, he growled, "I meant as a sparring partner, not a mate. There would be no way that I would like her in that way. I mean, c'mon. A bitch like her would never find a guy." He found himself almost getting hit by one of Sel's daggers.
"I heard that!" She growled and then walked off through the door.
Meanwhile, back in happy town
"GET OFF OF ME YOU STUPID WEREWOLF! I'M NOT GONNA GO ON THAT FUCKIN' STAGE AND SING!" Mitsuru yelled out as he tried his hardest to pry Akira off of him. Of course, the always hyper werewolf would not let go and started whining. It got even worse when Mahiru joined into the begging.
"Why not Mitsuru? I'm sure you'll be alright if you sing. It's not like it'll hurt you or something..."
He turned and glared at her, "You shut the hell up, girl! You all should know by now that I hate having anything to do with music! NOW LET ME GO!"
Nozomu just sat there staring off into space not paying attention to what was going on around him. Everyone but Misoka and Nozomu were trying to get Misturu to sing but couldn't. Nozomu gave out a big sigh which caught Akira's attention, making him push Mitsuru out of his seat and onto the floor. The young tengu swore under his breath and got back up. When he saw Mahiru's sad look, he looked away. Akira went over to Nozomu and poked him then started saying teasingly, "Someone is love sick for Kuri!"
The vampire gasped and looked at Akira with his face crimson red, "What? What're you talking about? I don't like Kuri. Well... I do.. but only as a friend." He stuttered a few words and when he heard the front door bell ring, he stood up to see who it was. He was disappointed that it was Sel and then sat back down and got back into his little moping state.
Sel walked up to the little group, shocked that there was no fighting going on. When she spotted Nozomu, she lifted up an eyebrow, "What's your problem? And why is everyone so... dead? There's usually a fight going on..." She looked at everyone and when it came to the tengu, she saw him taking glances over in Mahiru's direction. She smirked, "Anyways, I've got news. Good for me and... bad for you guys I guess.. Well, Kuri might be coming to the bar a bit late again. She's not completely sure but she did say that she would try her best to make it in time. Thank you and have a horrible day." She started walking off when she felt a hand grab her wrist. She turned around, ready to slap the person who grabbed her but when she saw Nozomu's look, she rolled her eyes, "What?"
"Why is she coming late? What's her reason?" He looked at her.
"Because she has some 'business' to take care of. Something with the family. Don't worry that little vampiric head of yours, okay? Okay. Now let go of my arm!" She petted him and then smacked him upside the head like she would Kuri then stormed off, mumbling incoherently. When she walked out of the karaoke bar, she found a chariot waiting for her with two, black clydesdales waiting to pull it. She looked up and saw a woman staring at her. Her pupils became slits and she made a slight bow at Sel. Sel just nodded and hopped on. Afterwards, they headed off in the direction of the park. Once they were out of site from the karaoke bar, the Sel started speaking, "Daisy, what're you doing here? And in a carriage for God's sake! These things are so out dated. Now I feel.. odd. Why? 'CAUSE SO MANY FREAKIN' PEOPLE ARE STARING AT US 'CAUSE THERE ARE NO CARRIAGES AROUND HERE!"
"Oh, hush up. Just so we don't stick out, we made some friends to help us out," she nodded at another carriage driver passing by. Then she started talking over her shoulder again, "Selenay, Her Highness asked me oh so nicely to pick you up. And I quote, 'Daisy, I want you to go pick my daughter up immediately! If you don't, I shall give you major punishment!' Now I know where you get your temper from. But adding your fathers temper is even worse."
Sel growled under her breath and glared into Daisy's back, "Why, exactly, did mom want me to be picked up? Did Kuri already get there and tell her about everything that she saw that was going to happen?"
Daisy looked confused. She stopped the carriage when there was a red light and then turned around, "She has not spoken about what she has said yet. But she did say that she had bad news and Her Highness would like to be speaking to all three of you."
"She called Sutasu-san as well? Hmph, I should've known. She sent Princess to get him, didn't she? 'Cause that fucked up bastard is too stubborn," she smirked as she thought about Sutasu-san and how it had been a while since they fought eachother. But now she had a new sparring buddy. That demon, Nevin, from the Clan MacCallan. She spaced out for a while when she was thinking about the Fomorian. "WHAT!" she snapped when she felt the horse whip poke her.
"We're here," she looked over in the direction of the bushes. As they walked up to it, she looked around making sure there was no human nor demon in sight. She also 'felt' around to see if anyone was there but there was no one. Making some symbols within her hands, a glow started to come from the ground and a huge symbol was formed. A barrier was put up around the portal behind the bushes and whenever someone ran into it, they wouldn't be able to go to where Sel and Daisy were going to. "I know, I know. You hate going through the portal but you are gonna have to deal with it. Now, wait for a few minutes. This body is really getting on my nerves..." Daisy closed her eyes and her clothes started to turn into ribbons, wrapping around her body. As her body started changing, cracking and crunching was heard as her bones rearranged themselves. Her mouth grew out and her teeth grew long. her hands turned into paws and claws popped out of them. Her legs and feet turned into her hind quarters and a tailed popped out from in between. Sel watched as Daisy turned into a leapord. Wings sprouted from her back as they shown brightly, blinding Sel. A little knecklace formed around her kneck and a jewel appeared on her forhead. When she was done, her eyes snapped open to show two slitted green eyes and she roared. then she turned to face Sel and started speaking to her with her mind, "Now, princess, it's your turn to get into your proper clothing. And don't forget to bring your respectful manners with you."
Sel growled and then closed her eyes. She put her hands in a weird little symbol and then started saying in a soft voice, "Large gates, open up wide. Open up and let me inside. Give me my powers, give me the strength. Let me through my powerful gates. I am your princess, I have arrived. So here I come, to take away lives. The lives that are mine, the powers I desire. Now I need one more thing, and that is my correct attire." Her body started to glow and a dark aura appeared around her. She curled up into a tight ball as darkness and lightning started to surround her. Her clothes started to change into foreign rags the color of blood and darkness. It looked as if the dress was wripped up to shreds. Her nails grew longer and her teeth became a bit sharper. Her eyes were filled with pain and suffering of everyone around her. The darkness and lightning were absorbed into her back. She then arched her back and demonic wings popped out. When her little transformation was over, she heaved and puffed and straightened herself out. She turned to Daisy and her eyes turned back to normal except for little slits in them. She smiled a bit and nodded, "Let's get to them before we're late. We've wasted enough time already just standing here and talking." Daisy nodded and then then walked through the bush and up to a large, silver door that had odd markings on the frames. A crystal was at the top that was in the shape of an eye. As she looked at it, it seemed as if darkness had swallowed it and it turned black. A light beemed out of it and hit Sel's forhead dead center. The crystal had transfered itself from the top of the doorway and onto Sel's forhead. It was dark and was in the shape of a heart that was turned black and was set on fire.
"Let's go, Princess. Everyone's waiting," Daisy whispered as she saw Sel nod and they entered through the portal and the bright light consumed both of their bodies and they disappeared into another world.
