AN Ahem….yes yes I know, naughty me. How long has it been since I updated anyway????
I've been a bit dry on idea's you see and I didn't really have a plot for this. My initial thought was to completely abandon this (like so many other writers have on here) but after that onslaught of reviews I got for the last chapter (WAS IT REALLY 15) WHOA seriously I've never had that many reviews for one chapter of anything I've ever written IN MY WHOLE LIFE! U guys make me feel so wonderful!
Therefore I sat down and I rethought the plot and I've added loads more to make it more interesting and longer!
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS, YOU'VE REALLY MADE MY DAY!
I'LL UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER THIS.
ON WITH THE FICCIE EVRY1.…
Chapter 11
Red…
Swishing…
Skirts…
Moon…
Stars…
Laughter…
Black…
Red…
Blood…
Roses…
Merloch awoke, the sweat running down his brow.
That dream again…Merloch clamped his eyes shut and rubbed his temples.
He had to forget, he wanted to forget…But ever since he had arrived here the memories wouldn't keep at bay. The same pain… the same faces unleashing into his mind like a lion released from his pen.
That night…and the laughter; he could never forget that laughter. Merloch stretched out his legs and attempted to move his arms forward but was met with a sudden jolt of pain. It was then that he remembered where he was.
He was stuck in a dirty, dingy excuse for a dungeon cell tied to the walls with thick chains. Verloch sure seemed to have everything worked out to prevent escape.
Well, I guess I have to wait for Anthion then… he thought as he tried to regain some feeling in his fingertips.
Merloch groaned, this way going to be a long day.
Sara descended down the winding staircase, Cathy at her heel. She felt tired and sleepy and although the dress looked good, she was in an extreme state of discomfort. It was better than if Cathy had decided to do her hair though, anything was better than that. Sara couldn't stand the thought of lots of pins stuck randomly on her head, poking at
her scalp.
"Hurry up ma'm, the Master will be waiting!" Exclaimed Cathy as she hurriedly rushed forward, pulling Sara along with her.
As Cathy dragged her down the stairs, Sara took a moment to look at the portraits along the walls.
They were very beautifully drawn and Sara couldn't help but stare at the many figures posing and clad in elegant clothes. "Who's that?" she asked, stooping abruptly and pointing towards a painting of a young girl dressed in scarlet.
Cathy stopped and averted her attention to where Sara was pointing. Skimming her eyes across the canvas she shrugged. "I don't know, I'm not too familiar with this stuff now lets go," she said quickly…
A bit too quickly…thought Sara but she didn't have time to prompt her for Cathy was already ahead and she would lose her if she didn't hurry.
Sara ran forward, her black skirts swishing behind her as she held onto the banisters. Cathy was fast…extremely fast and she seemed rushed all of a sudden. Was what Sara had asked really that bad?
"Cathy, wait up! How do you expect me to reach this throne room thing if I don't know the way?" she said jokingly, attempting to lighten the mood.
Cathy stopped and turned quickly. "I-I'm sorry, come on it's been way too long. The Master will be angry," she said nervously.
Sara nodded, not wanting to unnerve Cathy more than she already had and hurried after her, down the flight of stairs.
Anthion slid into the dimly lit cell, the dank smells consuming his nostrils. He pinched his nose, balancing the tray in his other hand. Not that there was much in it anyway. It didn't seem like Verloch wanted to kill his twin brother otherwise he would have done it beforehand, so why was he still keeping him here.
The cell door creaked; his heavy footsteps echoing on the greasy floor. He heard a groan, then brought forward his torch to be met with Merloch's pale face, gazing at him wide eyed.
"What took you?" he exclaimed. "I've been waiting for what seems like centuries."
Anthion smirked and bent down handing the tray to Merloch. "It comes from the vampire genes big brother. But I assure you, it's only been a little less than a day."
However, it seemed as though Merloch had completely ignored this comment seeing as he was far too busy attacking the contents of the tray.
Lumpy stew again…yummy.
"Who cooks this shit?" he asked through a mouthful of stew.
"Bertha."
Merloch shuddered. "Ugh, not that hag. How is she still alive?"
"I dunno, Verloch refused to sack her when he became 'The Master' seeing as she always favoured him," replied Anthion.
Merloch smirked devilishly. "Remember that time we stuck live trout down her pants?"
Anthion laughed. "Damn, mother and father were on our case for weeks after that. 'I wish you two would be more like Verloch, he never gets in trouble,'" he imitated.
Merloch's expression immediately dropped. "So why did you come anyway? Any ideas?" he said, immediately changing the subject.
Noticing the tension Anthion hastily replied, "I know how to get you out, if that's what you mean."
Merloch nodded. "And Sara?"
Anthion looked taken aback for a moment before replying. "That wasn't part of the recommendations. I'm not going to risk getting on Verloch's really bad side. You may be my brother but he could sentence me to death without batting an eyelash any day."
Merloch shook his head defiantly. "I'm not going without Sara," he stated.
Anthion could feel the anger welling up inside of his chest. After all he was risking for his brother he still wouldn't take up his offer.
"It's not like she would miss you. I think her and Verloch are pretty well acquainted if you get what I mean," he bit out icily, immediately regretting what he had just said. He was in trouble now…
Merloch met him with a steely gaze and said coldly, "No Anthion, I don't get what you mean. Enlighten me."
Anthion gulped, he was in trouble now. "It's nothing, really. It just came out."
"No, your hiding something from me. Tell me, now."
Anthion gulped once again, absentmindedly running a hand through is thick, black hair.
"Are you sure you want to know?"
"Tell me."
Here it goes… "I saw him coming out of her room last night quite a while after he went in and he looked a bit well…flushed and ruffled," he said lamely.
Merloch could feel the anger coursing through his chest. Why that son of a… Trust Verloch to take advantage of Merloch's not being there. But doing this, it was sick. As he pondered a hundred ways to kill Verloch another thought suddenly entered his mind. What if Sara had…willingly…and how far did he go? He shuddered. It wasn't a thought he wanted to ponder.
A sudden wave of memories overswept him. This was so similar…but no, he said he's forget, he'd promised himself he'd forget and that's what he would do. Forget.
"So what's the plan?" he asked Anthion hastily.
Anthion looked taken aback at Merloch's sudden change of conversation before he answered quickly.
"Well…"
AN SORRY its so short evry1! I just needed to get this one out and I told you I'm currently working on the plot. I hope you guys all review cuz that's seriously the only reason I write this fic! I currently have an account on fiction press you see and I'm usually more into my own original fiction rather than fan fiction.
As well as that I went on holiday early July and got back late August, then I started scool again and I've been loaded with work! Also my comp got HUNDREDS of viruses and I had 2 reboot it so it was kinda hard 2 update. I hope you guys haven't abandoned me by now and PLZ REVIEW!
PLZ REVIEW AND HERE ARE THE REPLIES!
Chisakami Saiyuki; Cool penname! Where'd u get it from I was like "whoa" when I saw it. That is like so Japanese. Thanks for reviewing, as for the Sara/Verloch thing you'll just have to wait and see…
midtow: applaud I finally updated. I hope you enjoy this chapter and review. I LUV REVIEWS and you just boost my confidence by reviewing me. I mean your review may be short but hey at least you bother to help poor little individuals such as myself. I hope you enjoy this chappie!
Baby Prue; Thanx for sticking to me, I seriously appreciate your support. As for what will happen, you'll just have to wait and see won't you cackles evilly
Melon3; OMG U ARE SO SWEET! Thanx for adding me 2 ur faves AND I'm ur first one goes all bigheaded you don't know how much that means to me. I'M SO TOUCHED! As for Sara it's not really her fault she dresses up, you know how she is if you've seen the show, she can be a bit naïve at times so she probably thinks that by following orders and being polite she can find out 1. Whats going on and 2. Be very polite about it and get Verloch to let em go. Anywayz she doesn't really remember that lil bit with verloch, u'll find out why later on tho…
UPDATE UR FIC SOON! No one ever updates and I seriously wanna know what happens next!
Mel; lol kkkkkkkk I get the message! U don't want a Verloch/Sara coupling, I'm cool with that. We'll just see how it turns out and just 2 justify Sara they didn't sleep together lolz. Verloch's evil but not that evil….or is he? Lolz I couldn't resist saying that. You'll see how the coupling turns out soon and trust me you'll probably find it pretty cool unless I decide to change the plot. I haven't got a permanent decision on who she goes with yet anyway. I hope you wnjoy this chappie AND PLZ REVIEW!
Dutch Cheshire Cat; Glad you like it and thanx for your vote. I am seriously taking everyone's vote into consideration and they may well affect my final decision. Hope you enjoy the chappie!
Keyo-Red Angel of hope; Oh thanx! I seriously thought it was a crap filler but thanx for the encouragement, it made me feel better about what I'd left you guys lolz. Cool I didn't know that that's what limey meant! You learn something new everyday! As for the lemon and lime I'm not totally sure I'm going to put some in cuz one of my reviewers doesn't really like it and she's a lot of support to me, but that doesn't mean there's gunna be completely none of that sort of thing lolz. Hehe. Hope you enjoy the chappie!
AerinM: HEYA! Howz u den? Long time no tlk. I'm still in a writers block state thing so that's why this chappie's a bit gritty round the edges. Kz as for the lemon and lime, quite specifically what sort of stuff don't you want to see. Do you mind if I put like kisses and stuff in it cuz the stuff I can write is kisses, making out and yeah a lemon as well as intimate touching so let me know which stuff you definitely DON'T want me to put in cuz ur 1 of my top reviewers. sobs u've stuck with me for SO long, you don't know how much that means to me. Hope you enjoy the chapter!
KohakuOtaku; Oooh coolies I like ur name! Where'd you come up with it? Yeah I luvved the show 2, it was just WAY 2 CUTE! 2 bad there weren't any proper romance in it but hey that's the most we can get. That's why I worte this, I was wondering how cool it would be if there was a proper romance story thing for Sara/Merloch. I hope you like this chapter and plz review!
Spiked Dragon; OMG how many reviews did you give me? Thanx and I adore you for it! You're one of the top reasons I updated, you could actually bother to give me that many reviews! You don't know how great I feel! Lolz yeah Merloch IS going insane, I'm glad you found it funny. Hehe I felt nutty when I was writing that. Thanx for checking my bio, I cant believe someone actually bothered 2 read my waflle and yes nutty…THAT'S ME! As for the lime I'll see about that but there will definitely be more romance on the way. I'm sorry I kept you hanging for so long, as I explained above I've been on holiday then school started again so I couldn't update. I went on holiday around July 18th and came back late August so I was away for quite some time, then I've had lots of school workand itf it weren't for all of u guys' lovely reviews I wouldn't have really continued this but now I'm definitely going to do all I can to complete this. Then I might start a new Sara/Merloch one, I have LOADS of ideas for them. That os so sweet saying that my story rocks, it makes me feel so good that I'm appreciated. I know ive said this loads of times before but it REALLY REALLY REALLY means a lot to me! As for your comp I'm so sorry, that's happened to me before and I know it's like so ANNOYING, Ididn't have a hacker tho, I had HUNDREDS of viruses, that's another reason I haven't updated in ages because I've just had my comp rebooted. As soon as ur comp gets better let me know, then I can email u when I update rather than having to have you continuously checking on the site. I know how annoying that can get! I'm glad you think it's well written and once again thanx for your review!
Kendra; Lolz I'm not sure about a lemon lolz cuz one of my reviewers ent really that into it and I don't wanna go offending anyone. I luved ur review, it was so long and u've really put a lot of insight into it if you get what I mean. Lolz I love Verloch's bad boy thing to hehe as for the coupling I'm not going to reveal anything but I'm glad that your satisfied with either way. That's a really cute idea about that Cathy thing and another brother …lolz I couldn't resist. Hehe it would be tres cool being in the presence of a hott vampire and yeah as us girls say, pain is beauty ir in Sara's case 'skimpy clothes which make you feel uncomfortable' is beauty. I'll email you as soon as this is posted, it's so much easier that you've left ur email and I'm SERIOUSLY sorry if I've accidentally ended up sending you any of my stupid forwards lolz. I isually clik anywhere but u can just delate them, I usually try and do that now anyway. Hope you enjoy the chapter and I LUVED UR REVIEWS! Long reviews r just so cool! They make me feel brilliant!
