Hotel of the Dammed

CHAPTER 14

Mark stood still as the building around him and the deranged Avatar was falling around them, Kayla didn't move either, it seemed that the hotel's demise was none of her concern.

"Kay, I'm taking you out of here now!" Mark grabbed a hold of her and brought her close to him, she fought him physically along the way.

"FUCK OFF!" Kay shouted as the Reaper kept her close, mad or not for the moment, she was still Kayla deep inside that crazy mind of hers.

"It's ok, baby, it's all going to be alright…" He whispered as he brought her resistant head towards his and kissed her gently, this always seemed to calm her down.

He began to feel her pushing away from him lessen as he kept his hold on her lips, her limbs fell beside her body and her form became limp. Mark was holding her full weight as he looked at her, Kayla had passed out from the rage and power that had her mind warped.

"That makes this easier…" Mark said as he and Kayla disappeared from the wrecking hotel and out in the front dirt parking lot where his Harley had been sitting all night.

The Reaper looked back at the hotel as the whole building fell before his eyes, he looked down at the sleeping witch in his arms. It looked like Kay was drained from the use of her full power, and if that wasn't her full power, a frightening thought came into his mind what she could if she was really pissed.

He was pleased to see that she was finally free from the confines of the building, but there was still a slew of unanswered questions, what happened to the demons and what happened to the curse? What were their plans for her? How did they know she would come this way? There were much more than that, but the glowing form of Clair appeared before them. She was smiling in her austral form, her eyes were bright and she was happy from the look of it.

'Thank you…" Her voice echoed slightly, "…thank you for setting me free."

"Clair?" Mark asked, she nodded.

"I have waited so long to be free from the demon's power." She replied.

"Clair, can you tell me how they knew about the Avatar? Mark wanted to take this chance and get some answers before the ghost would move on.

"They have always known of her birth, they wanted to create a trap for her and lure her here to take her back to the Abyss with them. But they got trapped by it as well, they couldn't get any outside help to figure out a way to bring the Avatar to them. That is why they let go of a group of people that stayed here one night a long time ago…I believe they were musicians…the demons had a new plan…"

"The Eagles…" Mark smiled, "…I guess the demons thought that the Avatar would be curios enough to go searching for this place. Funny though, Kayla didn't start talking about the song until we ate supper. Goes to show you how fate likes to fuck with people…"

"That is all I know…" Claire looked behind her as if something had caught her attention, "I must go now, my father is waiting for me…"

"God speed, child." Mark whispered as she disappeared in the rays of the morning sun.

"Oh…" Mark looked down and smiled as Kay began to move about in his arms.

She looked up at him and smiled sweetly, this was his Kay.

"Hi…" He said softly at her, she smiled back and placed a hand on her throbbing head.

"Did you get the licence plate of that Bus?" Kay smiled, Mark pulled her close and kissed her once more, his Kay was back to normal.

Kay pulled back to get some air, "I like waking up to that…"

"What was the last thing you remembered?' Mark asked her as he helped Kay stand on her shaking two feet.

She thought for a moment, "Um…I think the last thing I remember…was that demon tart trying to get it on with you…then I think I lost conscious…"

"Oh no you didn't, babe." Mark grinned, "But I'll tell you later about it."

"What?" She smiled at him, he loved to see her smile, "Was it that bad?"

"Let's just say…I think it would be a good idea for you to move in with me, you know, so I can keep a better eye on you." He kissed her again, running his tong over her lips and all over her own tong.

"Oh Mark…I didn't know you moved that fast…was it that bad?" She grinned, "We've only been going together for a month now…"

"I know, I just think this would be in your best interest." Mark didn't like the look on her face.

"One problem, your brother lives with you. He killed my parents, remember?"

"I know, and that's something we can work on once we get back to…" Mark jumped back as the little black cat jumped into Kay's open arms.

"Cerebus!" Kay kissed the cat on her head as the ghost animal began to purr in her arms, at least she was back at smiling again.

Mark looked at the animal puzzled, "Why didn't he leave with the other ghosts?"

"I get the feeling she wants to stay with me…" Kay looked up at him and grinned, "Let's take her home!

The Undertaker stood tall and trying to look assertive, "No! I am not going to take that thing back with us, Kay. He belongs in the after world with his owner!"

Cerebus turned her head at Mark and hissed, Kay giggled, "She doesn't like to be called a him, and she does want to come with us."

"NO!" Mark turned and gave his bike a good look over, there was nothing damaged on it.

"Aw Mark, look at the baby! She's got no one else to look after her!"

"No Kay, the cat stays here!"

Kay moved over and sat on the seat of the bike as Mark tried to not look at her pouting face. He made the mistake and looked up at those sad brown eyes, he was still caught in her spell of love.

He stood up and smiled as he kissed her gently, "Woman, you will be the death of me…"

Kay grinned as he kissed her again, this time Cerebus didn't mind the Reaper so close to her.

"Does that mean I get to keep her?"

The end

Ok, so now I'm going to try to stop this one for the moment… (I did say try), the Undertaker Returns got neglected again…oh dear…And I really want to start reading other stories too! So, I might be back tomorrow with a new instalment…or maybe with some luck this muse will leave me alone for a bit but it will be back! LOL!
