Toad

Th' water... It's everywhere. I can't breathe.. I've felt this before... Tha' day at liberty Island... Tha' bitch Storm... Th' water! I can't breathe...

Scrabbling to reach th' surface, th' torrent of th' falls pounded me down again. I hadn't thought of this when I came up with th' jump off a cliff plan. My cries under th' water became more urgent. I wos running out of air. My lungs burned like fire and my limbs ached. I felt myself get light-headed.

NO! Help... Me.. I need, help...

Mortimer! Get ahold of yourself!

Tha' godamned voice in my head AGAIN...

Lemme die in peace...

Save her... She needs you.

Wot? Who?

Seraphim...

S...SERAH! Oh no! Serah! Th' thing... NO!

My eyes flickered. I wos gonna die... I wosn't ready to die... I looked up slightly, wotching th' last of th' bubbles float from my mouth.

Arabella

I watched Mortimer fall from the cliff into the water. I stood there, waiting for the other one to come down. But she didn't come, nor did Mortimer come up from the lake. I stared at the rippling water. Nothing. I reached out with my mind. Where was he?

Mortimer! Where are you? Get ahold of yourself!

I felt him, urgent, screaming. He was dying. I told him about Serah, he started to understand he needed to get out of there. But he couldn't do it alone. I waded out into the water and dove in, stretching my long legs and arms out in front of me in a breast stroke. I saw him struggling under the falls. He was out of it. I saw his eyes droop as I came closer.

MORTIMER!

I grabbed his arm as his eyes closed, and turned towards the bank of the lake.

Serah

I flickered my eyes open. Something was on my arm. I felt it. Blood. The chains from that robot thing had cut into my flesh, now red sticky blood mingled with the botchy green skin. My shirt was ripped and it was now a t-shirt. How nice. I was filthy. Like I had been dragged here. I figured I must have been. I checked out my surroundings. Much more, uh, midieval then last time. I was shackled to the wall, and there was straight iron bars in front of me. I couldn't locate the door into the cell, but I could see the door that led out of the room. The room was separated into two parts, both separated by the bars. The ceiling was high and had a dip near the center where the bars were kept in place on the ceiling. Sighing, I looked at the floor. It was a dirt floor this time. No metal. No concrete.

I scratched the dirt with my fingernail. I was afraid. Tired. Hungry. But mostly I was sick and tired of getting interrupted with Mort. I mean, when you find somebody you love your supposed to stay with them forever aren't you? That's what fairy-tales had taught me at least. But nooo, some freakish anti-mutant MUTANT kept getting the effin way. I heard a click, then the sound of tromping boots. I readied myself for the annoying, 'I know what i'm doing your just a pawn' attitude of this guy. But Iwas very much wrong. As he came stomping down the stairs with a murderous intent.

"You have caused me ENOUGH trouble!" He stomped at the bars. "You will lay here to rot!" He grinned maliciously and I sat there. "You'd better look away." He began to pull off his sunglasses. Because I knew he was a mutant, I did the smart thing for once, I turned my head away. Then after a few moments silence. I glanced back at his eyes. They were black, bottomless pits. I only glanced. I did not look right into them. This was smart. He said. "My eyes hold my power. If you look directly into them, one of two things will happen." He raised a finger. "One, you will be turned to stone forever. or two, you will relive your most painful memories." He smiled grimly. "I first noticed this the day my mutation occured. Almost the entire street found it's way into my eyes, and it was turned to stone. Along with my family. Later, I discovered it alternates. Stone. Memories. Stone. Memories."

I gulped as I shut my eyes tightly. I didn't want to relive those creepy nights alone in the woods. Or that day at the soccer game when I mutated. Especially not the day I left the Brotherhood. That had been the worst of all. And of course I didn't want to be turned to stone. I remembered the greek myth Medusa momentarily before he spoke again. "I will leave you here to rot. And when I am certain you are dead, I will feed you to the dogs." He left, tromping up the stairs.

I gasped for breath.

At least Mort was ok.

uhmm... HI! If you can guess, my story is getting creepier as it gets closer to Halloween. I LOVE THIS HOLIDAY!

ANYWAYS... If anybody has any Ideas for this guy's name, I could use some suggestions. I'm thinking of Silas. But I want something more, greek myth, or old age, you know?

OH NO! Is Mortimer Dead? Who IS this Arabella? Will Serah ever get out of that madmans lair? I HAVE NO CLUE!

damnit it is so COOLD! SOMEBODY GET ME A BLANKET!

Sobs
