Part XI
Beth has succeeded in removing the wooden stake from Mick's chest and was now sitting quietly on top of an upturned wooden barrel, waiting for him to regain himself.
"Thanks Beth" came Mick's voice, he was on his feet now and slowly approaching her.
"You've saved me countless times, hardly a big deal, besides I should thank you for coming here" answered Beth, hoping that she was the reason why he was here.
Mick smiled, causing the edges of Beth's lips to also turn up into a smile.
"I have to go after him Beth, after what he did to you, after what he did to those innocent women, he has to be stopped before-"
"Three women, what did he do to three women?" interrupted Beth, her eyes wide with curiousity.
"He tortured them to death with a serrated blade" answered Mick, his eyes fixed on the floor he stood on. He chanced a glance over at Beth, her face showed signs of disbelief at first, however that soon changed when a sad expression distorted her beautiful features.
"You have to kill him" Beth stated simply, as she rose to her feet, and walked closer towards Mick.
"But don't you love him?" asked Mick with false curiousity, he knew she could never love a murderer, not after all the pain and sufferring she had seen sprawled across the faces of murder victim's parents.
"No…" answered Beth, she was now standing directly in front of Mick, he could almost feel her hot breath on his face, a deep shiver rolled down his spine.
"I love someone else Mick…" Beth continued stepping closer to Mick. Mick felt his soul tear into shreads, how could she ever love him back?
"And that person's you, Mick" Mick almost lost his balance. Had he heard her correctly? Did the love of his life just declare her love for him?
"M-M-Me?" asked Mick in honest disbelief.
"You're not a monster Mick, you've never killed an innocent man, you've never tortured three women or kidnapped anyone, you, Mick are not a monster, Josh is." answered Beth as she rose to her toes so she was level with him
"And I love you, not him, or anyone else" her soft lips engulfed his, her sweet scnet filled his nose, his sense dulled to the point where he was no longer concious of his surroundings, all he could feel was her. Beth placed her arms around his waist and embraced him tighly, her body moulding into his like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle. A perfect fit. Mick felt as though he had been healed, his worries were swept away by her words and his fractured soul intact again from her touch. Mick returned the embrace and their kiss lasted for an eternity to them, before they were forced apart in dire need of air.
Her emerald eyes gazed up into his cerulean ones, her eyes always bore deep into his soul.
Mick took a deep breath "I love you too Beth." A warm smile spread across her delicate features, she planted a quick kiss on his lips before she walked over to the far corner of the room and picked up the discarded weapon.
"Well, now that that's settled, howabout we go show Josh how much we love him?" asked Beth, a strange, foreign, almost murderous glint in her eyes.
"I like the way you think" answered Mick, as he found himself smiling again.
Together, they left the cold, dark room and were off into the darkness hand in hand.
Somewhere in the distance an ear piercing scream ripped through the silence of the deserted city streets. Come sunrise, the busy city would be free of at least one criminal, his name was Josh, and forever he would remain as silent as the grave.
The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and
vowed he'd steal no more
Fin.
