She watched her prey from his window. Even she thought he would not be so carless and allow her to tail him all the way home. He should be nervous.
Ok...
I shivered.
Ever have that feeling your being watched? I was damn close to it. I sat in the living room, near my small office. Desk, computers, shelfs, papers and books. I checked over my shoulder numerous times before I came home. Making all sorts of twists and turns. Zigging and zagging, just in case. My spider-sense didnt alert me of anything odd. Dressed in swim trunks and a Arrowsmith shirt. I tolled in front of my PC, trying to find info on the Necklace Of Zorath. Google wasnt any help. To think millions of people search for things everyday and I kept getting porn sites...porn sites.
Were people that lonely, shallow and, sick? Then again, I fought kelptomaniacs that made me their obbsession... ok, maybe porn is needed...
Then I went browsing on Wikipedia. I actually got better results.. "Lets see..." I said typing in. 'Zorath.' "Zorath was a small epygitian kindgom, outside of present day Mumbai. Known mostly for their enslavement of men..."
Should I even keep going?
"It became a powerful kingdom under Queen Kelzora Tashiba. It held strong trading relations with the small colonies around it. Using rivers to mine for gold."
Nice. If I could mine for gold, I could pay Stark rent...
"The queen always wore her necklace made of black diamonds."
Too easy. Black diamonds, that could be why Johnson wants it so bad.
Then again I felt Strange skimped on some details.
"Whenever in possesion of the necklace, Queen Tashiba tapped into its full power. It is said whenever she became enraged, the necklace glowed different colors as warning. She could erect pyramids and statues of herself with a flick of the wrists. If she cried, floods would harbor onto enemy kingdoms. She once became so enraged, that shee caused a sandstorm so wide it took out everything within a 8,000 mile radius. It could be used to dispell enemies, create illusons, cause confusing (--) and hallusions."
That's was Strange told me.
Over time, the necklace caused the queen to slowly go insane. She kept rebuliding kingdoms but distroyed them as well."
Power mad queen.
"She was convinced of wrongdoings of her by her own family and had them excicuted."
Geez, talk about being paranoid.
"In the end, when she traveled to India (in the 1940s) she buried the necklace in. It was discovered recently by bounty hunters Jason Martinez and Stacy Marie McClean. They discovered it while hunting drug trackifers and, while sreaching their base of operations." Then the picture of the necklace came on. It looked like a normal necklace, black diamonds and all. Like picking a needle out of haystack.
-CRASH- The window was shattered.
"What the-?" A boot met my face. Then my ribs and my crotch. "Ahh.." Who the hell?" I said grabbing my friends. I looked up.
She wore her alternate black top and skin tight pants.
Leather?...
Her deadly sais were at her sides and,her black hair was tied in a ponytail with the trademark red ribbon.
When not annoying Daredevil, she was trying to kill me. Elektra Natchios.
"Pleasure seeing you here." She said smuggly.
Then the grim realzation swept my face. She seen me...
Jumping into the air, I kicked her. She landed into the bookcase, with my philospsy books falling on her. She rolled, throwing those damned sais at me. "Ugghhh!" One caught my shoulder, the other barely missed my neck, which is saying much because she is an assasin. A fist greeted my ribs once more. She ran up, on top of my head, filping enough to kick my back. Then she ran up the stairs.
Damn...
I jumped up the stairs clutching my ribs, cutting off her path. Giving her a jab as a warning, she stumbled down the stairs.
Owww...I did I do that?
She looked up, wipping the blood from her nose. She lunged at me, like I was her next meal.
More like, pork and beans...beans?
-CRACK-
My jaw
-CRACK-
My leg...
-CRACK-
That place I use to sit....
Ok, she was really testing my sanity. Why, attack me? For the information on that necklace? If that was the case why not download the info?
She lunged and me again. I caught her, she tried to spin around but my weight sent her down
I pinned her down on my matteress...My hands tucked around her arms. My legs blocked hers.
Oh boy, If MJ came home now...
"Who sent you?" I asked. Her eyes remained cold.
If looks could kill...
"Isnt it obvious?" She said.
Johnson...
"Why?" I asked.
"He knew you'd go snooping. So I followed." She said.
Holding the floppy in her hand, she winked at me.
"Wait how did you sneak up on me?" I asked.
She smiled. "Help from a friend."
From a friend?
The black tendrills wrapped themselves around my arms and legs.
"Brock...How?" I said.
The symboite moved over her toned body, it became her standard red costume.
Duh, no wonder I couldnt sense her.
"We all enjoy hunting you, no matter what body we take." The symboite said.
"What your employeed by Johnson." I joked.
"No, Elektra wanted to hunt you. We wanted to assist. But its not over, its never over."
Elektra smiled
Crud...
Elektra moved in closer, somehow I felt uncomfortable...
Her lips were inches from mine. Her breath was cold.
Very cold...
"I'm wondering, is Elektra home?" I asked
I regretted asking that...
