Chapter 5

It's been 8 months since the destruction of the black knights catsle and the Saradomain forces stand at bay with the Zamorak forces. This year December is colder than usual and Christmas is 5 days away and Ace's company moved into Falador for supplies and celebration. Killerine walked through the crowded streets of Falador looking at the clothes and presents she should get for everyone and herself. Probably a art set for Jack since he liked drawing, a new pair of boots for Killerbum since he kept on tripping in his old ones, a whole box of crossbow ammunition for Dritz and Legacy, 20 bottles of the finest liquors for Ace and Red, a new sheath for Mat's sword and probably a half heart necklace for herself and Hookman. Killerine's hand stopped picking out the presents when her hand came to a box of small bells for clipping your hair.

Killerine's Flashback during middleschool

"Come on these bells for clipping your hair will look great on you" said Killerine playfully to the young Skygirl.

"But I like the way my hair is" protested Skygirl

"Come on put these on. Now that we both have a pair of clips we're like sisters!" shouted the young Killerine in glee.

Present

Sigh. Middle school was fun but we became rivals anyway. Killerine continued walking through the streets of Falador. The snow continued but it was softer this time. As she looked up into the dark sky it was a sight to remember. A crowded street full of people with little snow flakes falling down slowly and shining lights of street lamps created a shimmer in the dark night sky. Killerine sighed again and hurried her way towards the inn. As she entered her room she discarded the presents to a corner and locked the door and took off the layers of clothes and plopped down on the bed and look to her right where there was a small calender. December 23rd she wondered, there was something special on that day. She just couldn't remember and she fell asleep.

Next Day

"I bet you Killerine wouldn't remember what day tomorrow is" said Killerbum chuckling.

"True. It's been 5 years since the last time we gathered around and had fun like that" stated Hookman.

"Well let's throw a surprise party tonight at 10 to surprise her" said Ace.

"Sure why not" said Jack.

"So who is getting what?" asked Ace.

"What's going on down here?" asked Killerine yawning as she saw came downstairs and saw Jack, Hookman, Killerbum, Ace, Mat, Legacy, Dritz, and Red huddled together in deep conversation at one table.

"Oh uuhh nothing" they replied in unison.

"Whatever" said Killerine as she walked out the door.

"Does Killerine have patrol duty today?" asked Killerbum.

"Oh yeah. Dritz and I have patrol duty with Killerine at 9. So we'll go get the supplies now and get her to come here at 10 without delay. Laters" said Killerbum as he waved goodbye to the others.

"Well what are we waiting for? Lets go get the supplies too" said Hookman and everyone put on their clothes and walked out the door knowing what they had to do.

Killerine returned in the afternoon seeing everyone gone she went to her room and opend up her bags and began wrapping. When she got to the box with the bells she had bought at the stall earlier this morning she stopped. She had another flashback and smiled faintly. She took the box and put it in her bag and continued her wrapping. She finished at 8 and went downstairs and was surprised at the change that has happened during her time spent wrapping. The bar downstairs was no longer dull instead it was full of decorations and she saw Ace giving direct orders of how to do the decorations.

"What's going on? Christmas isn't until 4 days. Why so early?" she asked

"Well let's just say we wanted to decorate early and doing this is earning us some money" said Ace.

"Ok..." said Killerine as she walked towards the counter and ordered her dinner.

It was 8:45 by the time she was finished and Jack along with Dritz came over to her and told her it was time for patrol duty. As they walked out of the door Killerbum let out a burst of laughter and said "She still can't remember."

South of Falador

"As you can see. She is going to die" said the Oracle.

"NO! I won't let it happen!" shouted the man.

"You said you had nothing left to lose. So what lost is this?" asked the Oracle.

"Shit! It won't happen it! I won't let it happen!" shouted the man backing away from the crystal ball and bursted through the door of the house and ran towards Falador.

"You can't change fate Kaos! It has already been determined! The path you took, you caused all of this by yourself! The death of Alexandra, the death of your parents, and now the death of your friend! You can't stop it Kaos! It is inevitable!" shouted the Oracle after Kaos.

NO! I won't let it happen! I'm going to change my fate. Fuck heaven and hell! Fuck the gods! Fuck fate! I'm gonna stop it from happening! No...

20 yards away from gates of Falador

"So what were you guys doing back there anyway. I know Ace has enough money so of course he won't have to do any of those trashy jobs. So come on tell me" said Killerine.

Dritz looked at Jack for counsel. "I'll tell her then" replied Jack.

"Happy birthday Killerine, 2 hours early" said Jack smiling.

"Oh... I forgot my birthday. How could I? Stupid me" said Killerine as she turned red and began laughing with Dritz and Jack of her own forgetfulness.

ZOMP!

Falador Inn

"Is Killerine here?" shouted Kaos crashing through the door.

"No she left for patrol duty" replied Ace "and who the hell are you?"

"Move it! Get out of the way!" shouted Jack as he and Dritz dragged Killerine in with a arrow shaft sticking out the left side of her chest. "Come on get me my main bag! We gotta stop the bleeding!" shouted Jack again.

"No..." whispered Kaos weakly.

Ace returned with the bag but he was too late. He saw Killerine's prone form on the floor with a trickle of blood leaking out of her mouth, eyes closed and her clothes covered with blood. "Shit!" he screamed in anger.

"It's not your fault Ace. The arrow hit her heart. Even I couldn't help her if you got here in time. It was time. That was the problem" said Jack with tears beginning to form around his eyes.

Everyone in the room fell silent looking at the death of another comrade.

"Sis" whimpered Killerbum.

"Time. Always time. I didn't get here in time" chuckled Kaos in disbelief and grief.

"Who the hell are you anyways!" shouted Ace.

Kaos removed his hood and looked at Ace and everyone fell silent.

"Time. That's it! Your Kaos right? You know time magic. Sis told me about you. You can go back in time and save her" said Killerbum desperatly.

"I can't. I strayed to far from the high advance magic I have learned 10 years ago. The only magic I know is demon summoning spells" replied Kaos.

"If time magic doesn't work and human magic doesn't work, demon magic might work! We can bring her back to life! There is still time!" shouted Killerbum as more tears began to come out.

A sound of whack was the only one that was heard throughout the room.

"Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. The life the demons create are not real, and you need equivalent trade to do so. Life for life. Blood for blood. Even if Killerine was brought back to life it wouldn't be the real her" said Kaos.

Kaos stood up and made his way to the door but he was stopped by Killerbum whom he had just punched for saying crazy things.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Revenge. To finish something I should have finished a long time ago than be cautious" Kaos muttered.

"I'm going too!" he shouted.

"Get away from me" Kaos muttered and pushed Killerbum aside and walked towards Chrono's empire.
