Well…..well….well so the truth comes out…..I'm glad you guys loved chapter 4, and I did say earlier that it was gonna get hot, and how 2D met Christine……

On to chapter 5!

"Chri-Christine?" Noodle echoed and started to shiver from either her wet clothes or the name that seemed normal started to chill her soul.

The singer nodded solemly.

"You mean her?" Noodle asked,dazed refering to the creature.

The singer nodded again with a hollow look in his dark eyes.

"Wha-what did you mean you made a vow with Christine?"

2D sighed, "I guess I should star' from the beginnin' " he rubbed his neck uncomfortably and in the flashlight's glow near Noodle's knees, it showed his face white as a sheet mixed with regret, pain and blushing?

"AAAAAAAAOOWWWWWWW!"

The cries of Christine, as 2D was calling her,howled angrily and by the loud noises above their heads, was looking for them,...hunting Even the deadly shrieks of a monster would not startle the two band members, even if her cries seemed to have wakened the thunder along with another splash of flood rain, oh lo the rain, crashing outside along with another angry howl of Christine, crying for blood of a Japanease guitarrist.

Noodle wanted to hear 2D's side of the story just to know what was going on, but a part of her didn't because why out of the blue does he NOW tell her that he made a vow with Christine? Why did he agree to make a promise with someone that you'd expect to hear at a wedding before the bride and groom became husband and wife? Especially if the bride happened to be a...

"Is she a zombie?" she askedthe singer before he could explain.2D shook his head turning even whiter under the flashlight's glow, "A zombie couldna done 'is" To show what he was talking about, he tugged his collar shirt down, showing deep claw marks below his neck from the pindown on the wall earlier, and it was glistening with blood threatening to gush out. Then he lifted his shirt up exposing scars, slashes across the chest andon the stomach. Bruises that were so big, his whole body looked purple.completely mangled

Noodle gasped,taking in the view of his injuries, some of them she could tell came from Murdoc, but when she touched some wounds,(hedrew in sharp breaths when she did that since it was stinging and her hands from the rain were cold), she knew the rest came from her...

2Dsan, what did she do to you?" she whispered, almost ready to cry, touching some wounds on his abdomen.

He covered himself looking abashed. "Neva mind tha'". But in his countennance she saw a pained look in his eyes,as he crossedhis arms over his chest, wincing as he did this.

Noodle didn't want to pressure him if it bothered him so much and asked him to go on.

The singer raked a hand through his blue hair with a sad sigh "Well ya' obviously know this part, after Paula left the band,...left me,"(again, She saw that pained expression crossing his arms tighter).

"After she left me, I was devastated...I couldn't eat, sleep, everyday all thos' months I wandered around town, drugged from the painkillers, knock out drops, ecstacy, and novocaine from a killa' tooth ache tha' year-" (He took a large dose of those pills that keep you awake too)

Noodle muffled a gasp behind her hands "That's too much 2D san!" she squeaked eyeballing him like he was going to explode "it could've killed you!"

2D nodded with a shrug "Yet it didn't, anyway with the knock out drops, I went in an' out of conciousness most of the time and then one day I blacked out...Then I woke up, and found myself in a grave yard, only it wasn't a grave yard I've seen before"

"Well how did you end up there?"

"I don't remember" 2D rubbed his temple as though it hurt to think," But all I knew was tha' I was lost, and it was dark, and tha's when I saw it...in my hand...the talisman."

"The talisman?"

"Long story shor' it held Christine inside,and I must've ran into a branch or sumfink back there 'cause blood from my forehead dripped on it and...it glowed green"

"Then what happened?"

Then the talisman transformed into a hauntingly beautiful woman,ahe told me her name was Christine and 'ow she was going to love me forever,and in return I love her the same way, well you get it"

"But if she was beautiful how come she's-"

"A monster?" 2D's eyes squinted. "Tha' appens when she was either 'ungry or angry and part of the bargain in my vow was to not only love her, but feed her too, and it was animal blood" he shuddered at the memory, "I 'ad to find roadkill for 'er and if not tha' kill them" he bit his lip to stop crying "And I 'ated it, I 'ad to kill a poor rabbit or a wolf cub when the mother was ou' unting, just to satify her hunger"

Noodle rubbed him on the shoulder, to comfort him, she knew he loved animals, especially the cute cuddly ones such as rabbits, kittens (If you recall MTV), you name it.

"Why did I do it if I didnnit like it?" he asked her question, sniffing "Because in return she'd give me well...you know..."

Noodle didn't need him to finish the sentence to know what he was talking about, but hestarted crying again.

"What is it?" she scooted closer to comfort him.

"iis just tha' when she...I thought we were goin' too fast but didn't object since...I just wanted it to be gone..."

Noodle huddled closer and wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

"At firs' I dinnit mind, but one day she got...needy" Noodle felt her heart go heavy with sympathy for him and rubbed his shoulder more soothingly.

"It continued like tha' ova the years" he sobbed, hanging his head low, "It was killin' animals by throwin' stones..st..strang-glin' em...drownin' all to satisy her, usually when she was full she let me go, but otha times...she'd go too far, everytime I tried to stop she'd continue and batter me worse than ever..."

he stopped when a sob threatened to choke him and was silenced with the memory hanging in the air...the memory of that nightmare.

Another angry cry from Christine emerged again.

"Then why did you keep coming to see her?"

"It was par' of the vow" he mumbled bitterly tasting blood on his lip. "It was...necessary other wise"

"Why make a vow with her then, 2D?"

2D paused. "I'm not sure exactly" he admitted. his head still hiding under shadow. "I just wanted it to stop" Noodle couldn't tell if he meant forgetting Paula's betrayal, or Christine injuring him, or both.

"To always serve her, to always give her raw animals to feed on, never love anyone else, and she'd leave me alone" he muttered to himself. "But...the thing is...I did fall in love Noodle, and I dinnit realize she was with me this whole time till last year."

Noodle felt her heart stop. "It was you" 2D whispered liftig his head up, andshowedsomething in his eyes that Noodle knew very well...love.

She withdrewher embrace and stared at her arms with her head hung low, 2D couldn'tread her expression very well since the light wasn't catching her face, butthought hesaw a tear trickle down hercheek, followedby a quiet sound of thunder.

This broke his heart watching the axe princess stare blankly into space.Shecouldn't accept his heart now, he thought sadly. Not with that monster biatch threateningthem, and with his unbreakable promise to her, he couldn't riskit with Noodle no matter how much it hurt, more than all the woundsChristine gave him in the past altogether.

"L-look, I know I was too late to tell you" helooked at a wound on his shoulder to avoid the teen's eye, "But forget about me Noodlegirl, I want you to be safe, away from Christine so...please while you'ave time,go...leave Kong Studios."

Noodle snapped out of her trance and looked at him with disbelief "L-leave?"

2D noddedwith difficultyblinking back tears and his face was already streaked as it is, he wiped hisdried tears away with a loud sniff. "I'd rather be slashed by Christinetearing up old wounds thanyougetting killed because of my screw up on account of I take too much drugs and I never think straight which is why Murdoc beatsthe snot out of me and no one ever feels sympathy for me even when I do get seriously hurt and-"

he was stopped when Noodle put a finger to his lips to silence him,and thendid something unexpected as she moved in close like she did earlier,butthis time closing the distance between them as she pressed her lips softlyagainst his.This really caught 2D off guard and went stiff as she traced her finger around his chin to his jawlineand down to his neck.

it was a few moments before he relaxed and gave in to the kiss, his hand moving up to her neck and slid smoothly down her back that gaveNoodle sweet chills.

He broke the moment off gently, both taking a breath, their lips hovering dangerously close. "But, but wot abou'?" 2D was confused yet contentat the same time "Wot about the trouble I got us into, because of my mistake she'll kill you!"

"I don't care" Noodle whispered stubbornly caressing his face softly "I'm not leaving, not with that whore after you"

It didn't take long for 2D to pull in another kiss and this one was more passionately than ever, and for the first time, he didn't feelempty inside,he felt...complete.

A loud snarling sound made them jump,breaking off a perfect embrace as 2D was pulled from the ground and tossed to the side landing on his back. Christine hovered over him with piercing cold eyes hissing with a dangerous voice "HOW DARE YOUBREAK THE VOW OF CHRISTINE!"

End...arrgh that was not perfect, but I'm tired please review!
