Consumed By Darkness

Chapter Twelve
Kagura's
eyes filled with tears as their other daughter ran down past
them.
"Mom, I've save you." Kaori yelled but as she turned
to see if the Chimera was still coming after it, it was and it was
about to pounce on her. "Aah!" She yelled, fear caused tears to
form in her eyes but as they opened – although she was scared –
Atlas was standing in front of her, he had stabbed the Chimera
through its chest.
"Kaori run." He said as Kaori ran to the
left, soon it was shown why, the poisonous Chimera was turning red,
it gave one last breath of fire which flew at Kagura and Kyou, soon
the fire had burnt through the net and they were free.
They
all ran towards Atlas to look at the sword.
"This sword
represents Mayura." Atlas said as he should them it. They could
tell almost instantly that he was right. Kagura touched the blade; it
was sharp but still didn't pierce her skin. Mayura wouldn't let
it cut her. Yarome then made himself noticed once more.
"Kitsume..."
He spoke, Kitsume nodded, grabbing one of the long strands of poison
ivy and it transformed into a sword. "Let's see what's
stronger, her soul or my blade." Atlas nodded, they had to do
this… finish it once and for all. Kaori ran towards the tools that
were in the basements closest.
She had to be strong and save
her sister, and show that she was worth being called her sister.
Kaori grabbed a pair of sheers, though a hand was put on her
shoulder.
"Little kitty-cat what do you think you're doing?"
A female voice, spitefully she knew it belonged to Kitsume. Kaori
smiled, no she smirked and she turned around with the sheers.
Kitsume's eyes widened as she took a step away.
"I'm taking
it your now a nymph." She spoke. "A nature nymph… that's too
bad." Kaori used the sheers and it was soon enough to destroy
Kitsume… well she had to use them to cut her into pieces, she felt
bad doing so but knowing what Kitsume had done to her sister she also
knew that she had to destroy her. Lying in place of Kitsume were
leaves, soaking in blood. "I'm sorry, but you've hurt
Onee-chan."
Yarome and Atlas were still battling using the
swords; even though Kitsume had died the sword was still the same as
it was when she had given it to Yarome. Freda though, was heading
towards a large throne made of nettles and roses; she wasn't
feeling any pain because as she sat down, the nettles and roses had
moved from her silhouette and formed a small cement stool for her to
sit on.
"It's time for me to take control." She muttered,
using Mayura's voice. Soon the roses had formed a diamond shape
around her; their thorns surrounded her around her arms and legs.
Kagura and Kyou looked on in horror, how were they going to help her?
They had to save Mayura from death.
Kaori ran towards her
parents.
"Mom, dad, you have to leave." She told them, her
long orange hair flailing in the air frantically as she looked back
and forth between them. "I don't want you two to get hurt too. I
love you." To her surprise it was her father who held her close.
Usually it was Mayura who got all of his attention. Kaori cried once
more, there was a lot of this happening lately. She cleared her eyes
when she heard her mother say:
"I'm sorry darling, but we're
all in this together." She spoke as she grabbed a spade from the
closet. "Come on." She told her daughter and they raced towards
Yarome, Kaori used the sheers as a physical weapon to do the same as
she did to Kitsume, Kagura just kept whacking him with the spade. Yet
it was Atlas that used the sword to destroy him. As it pierced
through the spirit's heart, from the edge of where the sword had
pierced his heart, a black shadow surrounded Yarome, it stunk, even
if they were to be sick it wouldn't make the smell seem better,
soon all that was left was the sword, Yarome had been
destroyed.
That was it, Kaori smiled at Atlas – they had
gotten ride of the henchmen, Kagura was then moved out of the way by
her husband who held her close, kissed her forehead and muttered to
her:
"No matter what might happen, I want you to know that I
love you and I'm sorry for being jealous."
"One left."
Atlas muttered as they all then turned towards Freda. Just how were
they going to destroy Freda without hurting Mayura? They didn't
know… but something then unexpected happened, the sword lute up a
pink colour. Soon portrayed in front of them was a vision of Mayura,
her eyes were holding quite a sad look.
"You have to use the
sword, Atlas, you have to cut her out of the throne… then you have
to…" But after that the vision disappeared and he had to
think fast, what was Mayura trying to tell him to do?
"I have to
what? Mayura!" He yelled but there was no answer, but at least he
could do the first thing and cut her out of the throne. He ran
towards the throne, he thought he didn't have her attention because
of the fact that Freda's eyes were closed. Yet it was definitely
not that way when she raised one of her arms, the blood was seeping
out of where the thorns where piercing into her arms, but her finger
nails were now green and red, they soon snapped out of their position
and sailed at Atlas, who found it quite hard to dodge them all, they
stung into him like a bee sting and though he pierced into his skin
and were sore he had to save his friend. Examining her hand he
realised that the fingernails had re-connected with new nails.
He
had seen that Freda's appearance had changed, her skin was a very
pale green, her hair was made of ivy and her eyes – which just
opened – where a red colour, it was time, he had to do it. He used
the sword and the thorns had coiled become limp but were still
connected to Freda's arms and legs. She stood up, quite weakly bare
footed.
"You are going to pay, boy." She snapped as her eyes
bore into his face. "You shouldn't have done that." It was like
her fingernails extended as she threw herself at him. He really
didn't want to have to do this, but it came to him then, what
Mayura wanted him to do… what she meant…
'You have to use the sword.' She wanted him to stab Freda's, and her body. He didn't even have to think about it, though he was terrified what it could do to Mayura. He just forced the sword into her body. Freda's eyes widened as her mouth opened and she screamed. That was it, wasn't it? That was the end of it… but what about Mayura?
