Angelic Demise
Chapter 3: Fall of the Healer
(DON'T KILL ME!)
oOoOoOo
The three, though near
Asgard, stopped at the House of Salvation (coughDamnationcough)
as night fell across
the land. It wasn't only because of night fall but because of
adventurers
who thought Kratos was
way too big to be a pet and wanted to kill him. Raine read a book
quietly while Kratos
and Genis just lazed for a second from all the running. A rustle from
outside caught Kratos'
attention and he wondered out to examine the surroundings.
Everything
when wrong right then and there. A commotion was heard down stairs
making
Genis and Raine
investigate. "Where's the group that's staying here?" a
malicious figure
asked pointing a
dagger at the Priest.
"Please sir, I can't
tell you," the Priest begged. The figure kicked the Priest to the
ground.
"It doesn't matter
cause there right here!" the shadow laughed and in a flash, had
Genis
with the dagger
against his throat. "Let him go!" Raine yelled and was about to
make an
attempt to save Genis
before, "Ah. I wouldn't move," the shadow said and brought the
dagger's blade to
Genis' throat, bringing a fine, shallow cut. Raine didn't move.
"Good,
now, I'll let him go
but you must come with me. Any funny stuff and… well hehe," the
figure chuckled
darkly. Raine didn't have a choice. "Ok," she said calmly. "No!
You don't
have to sis!" Genis
yelled but then felt the dagger again. "Don't! Move boy! Come
here!"
he ordered.
Raine bowed her head
and walked over to the shadowed figure. The man released Genis as
he said. He rushed and
embraced Raine in a hug who in turn kneeled and hugged him
back. "I'm sorry
Genis," she whispered. Genis was crying into Raine's orange
jacket. "Ok
time's up! Get over
here!" the man bellowed and grabbed Raine's shoulder harshly. She
winced and rose from
Genis' grasp. Stepping into the shadows, they both disappeared
from the sight and
scene, leaving Genis with the Priest.
oOoOoOo
Kratos didn't find
anything but thought worst when he returned to the House. The Priest
wasn't there and
when he walked to the room, Genis was rummaging through his back.
"Genis, what
happened?" he asked sternly for Raine wasn't to be found. Genis
pulled out
his Kendama and looked
at Kratos. "A man… came and demanded her to come. He was
all…. dark and kinda
reminded me of a ninja," Genis replied.
"….. Assassin,"
Kratos growled and Genis jumped. "The assassin?" Genis shook his
head,
clearing his thoughts.
He raced to the door of the House. "Let's go Kratos! Raine
doesn't
stand a chance against
an assassin!" Kratos raced down the stairs and followed Genis out
into the wild forest.
oOoOoOo
The assassin laughed at
the half-elf's form. "Just a healer? Too bad… there's not
sport in
killing a healer,"
he sneered. Raine glared at the shadowed man but winced and looked
down. Her orange coat
was almost completely crimson and she was unable to heal due to a
ninja star that was
impaled in her hand. A long, fine line oozing blood ran from her half
way up her calf to
knee. Various other injuries made her energy drain even quicker.
He leaned against the
tree he sat in and yawned. "I guess it's time to kill you and to
look
for that miserable
traitor," he mocked and drawing out a katana, he leaped out of the
tree.
He walked slowly
towards the woman, raising the sword with every step. He stopped
right
in front of her and
she, in turn, bowed her head to the ground, closing her eyes. The
katana
was brought down……………

The sound of metal
against fang rang though the forest followed by a metallic snap as
the
katana broke in bits.
"What? Kratos! Damn you!" the assassin snarled and jumped back.
"Drown! Spread!"
another, younger voice yelled and the assassin spluttered and cursed.
Raine looked at her
brother who ran over to her, tears streaming down his face. "Sis!"
He
fell next to her and
hugged her softly. Though beaten, she hugged him back as best she
could. When a sharp
bark was heard, they looked at the fight between the assassin and
Kratos.
The assassin had drawn
out a dagger and was attempting to cut Kratos down who dodge
having some of his fur
grazed away. Kratos snapped his jaws at the dagger, attempting to
catch it and break it
but missed. He swiped at it with his paw, in which the assassin
smirked, dodging and
sliced at the paw. It hit but didn't do much. Kratos leaped back
and
tackled the assassin
away. The shadowed figure was none to happy now. "I'll be back
Kratos!" and with
that, leaped into the trees.
The wind blew the dark
grass and rustled the leaves as the three waited in silence. When
nothing happened.
Genis looked at his sister now. "Raine, what were you thinking?
You
couldn't take on an
assassin alone!" he yelled. Raine didn't flinch but looked back
at
Genis at his
statement. "I was trying to keep you safe! That man might come
after you
now!" She yelled.
Genis jumped and thought for a second to figure she was right in the
end. Kratos just
watched as the siblings quieted down, the awkward silence filling the
air.
"….. We should
leave you two. It's a bit unsettling here," Kratos said.
The two looked away and
nodded. Genis stood, locating Raine's fallen Staff and went to
retrieve it. Kratos
stood next to Raine letting allowing her to rise to her feet. Raine
did
rise, her legs shaking
under her and the smaller cuts reopening to fresh blood. She shut her
eyes from the pain
coursing from the gash on her leg. Opening her eyes slowly, she saw
the moonlight reflect
off of something in the tree's branches. It was following Genis who
knelt to pick up the
staff.
When the glint moved
more, Raine was certain. She forgot about her pain when the glint
disappeared into a
blur towards Genis and race over. She skidded to a halt in its path,
ready for whatever it
was. The object connected in Raine's chest before Genis could react
and before Kratos
could jump.
Drip…..
Drip…..
Raine stood quietly for
a second. "Raine?" Genis asked, holding her staff in his hands.
Raine didn't respond
but collapsed to her knees and fell unceremoniously (I didn't know
I
new this word…) to
her side, her silver hair covering her empty half closed eyes. Genis
crawled over to his
fallen sister. He saw her listless eyes and her outfit dying crimson
in
the front. Tears weld
in his eyes for she didn't move. Kratos padded over and looked at
the
severity of Raine's
condition. His ears detected a slow beat that continued to fade and
slow. Quieter and
quieter with every slow intake of what little air she could take.
Kratos picked up
another sound, placing his body as a shield. I was yet another dagger
aimed towards Raine
this time the embedded itself in his shoulder. "Either way, she'll
die.
See you later Kratos,"
the voice said and laughed before disappearing. Kratos turned back
to Genis with a limp
and saw him crying. A hand rose and patted Genis on the head.
"Genis….. I'm….
sorry…," a quiet voice whispered.
"Raine, don't talk!
We'll…. We'll get you to Asgard! You'll get better!" Genis
cried.
Raine shook her head.
"There's…. little… chance Genis….." Genis was crying
continuously into
Raine's side. "No! Don't leave Raine!" Raine turned her head
slightly
and smiled at Kratos.
"I never…. regretted saving….. you…. Kratos…. Watch….
Genis………………..
please.."
her eyes closed slowly and her hand fell away from Genis.
