Ch. 5
"Come then, Horseman. Our master would have words with you," Victor put his mask back on and slowly unchained Death.
"Don't try to run. We'll catch ya and make 'ure ya won't use 'em legs no more," Hitoku smirked and pushed the Nephilim in front on himself.
"What about him?" the Reaper asked and looked towards Strife, who was still unconscious.
"Don't cha worry 'bout him. He ain't gonna go nowhere," the Chimera opened the door and pushed the rider out of the cell, with Victor staying behind.
"You really believe he will grant this to you? That he can return your brother's speech?" Fury felt pity for this Elf… All she wanted was for her brother to talk again, but it was impossible. Things like that couldn't be done.
"Yes, he can… The master can do anything. He even offered you something. If you want… But I know you do… You lost someone… Someone dear didn't you? He was taken away… and you would do anything to be with him again…"
The Black Rider couldn't hide the shock and surprise any longer and looked into the eyes of this female and couldn't help but see herself when she remember him…
"No… He can't… It's not possible…" the Horsewoman shook her head. She wasn't trying to convince Lyle, but herself.
"How much longer, are you going to pretend to be out," Victor suddenly asked as he sat back on the boxes.
"How'd ya know…?" Strife's voice echoed in the small room.
"Because I used to be in the same situation you are… I know how to play dead."
"Yea, I heard."
"How much?"
"…Everything…"
"W-Where am I?" his voice was vanishing into the darkness around him.
"What is this place?" there was no answer as he turned around.
"Is anyone here?" again only his own voice was heard.
"War…" a soft, female whisper called out.
"War, my darling… I'm over here…" it came again, this time closer and he turned around. There he saw them, two figures of light, standing next to each other.
"W-Who are you?" he wasn't sure why he was frightened… he just was.
"War… what are you doing here?" this belonged to the male.
"I… I don't know… what is this place? Who are you?" he moved a hand towards them and stepped. He wanted to know who they were, because he felt like he knew them…
"What have you done boy…?" the male's voice carried disappointment as he started vanishing.
"Wait! Don't go!" he called. "War… how could you…" the female sounded so sad…
"I-I didn't…" he tried, when the darkness changed into something else.
"Why did you kill me…?"
"Masta! 'ere he is!" the Chimera brought Death up the stairs and pushed him to the ground, right before the table.
"Thank you, Hitoku. You may leave us," the Demon spoke and looked at the two. Hesitating for a second, the subordinate bowed and left.
"Greetings Horseman," the master spoke as the Reaper stood up. Immediately he knew this was the one from before. The leader of the four he encountered.
"What do you want?" the Pale rider skipped the greetings.
"Oh my, where are your manners," he tried to seem hurt, but the smirk betrayed him.
"Forgive me if I don't show gratitude to those who capture me."
"Little dove… He can… Only if you let him… He'll bring back whoever you lost… Whatever you want… The master can grant… You just need to let him…"
"No! H-He can't! Everyone is dead! There's no bringing them back!" she promised herself she wouldn't cry… never cry again. She had to be strong for her brothers…
"I'm sorry, little dove… But he can… All of them… the master can."
Fury looked at the Elf, her eyes broken and trying hard to show her determination for not wanting that.
"So… what do you think about that?"
"That it's all a load of Scarab food and you know that. But you're too dumb struck to see it. You won't get Death to join ya little… crusade."
"Hmm… Well I'm not sure what the master wants with him. But I know why you're here instead of anywhere else."
"And why's that, mister explosive blood."
"It's Victor. And the reason is obvious. You're too smart for your own good. You trust no one, not even your siblings. Not to mention those senses of yours… annoying."
"How do you know so much about us? And how in the nine Hells did that portal bastard survive! I shot him in the freaking head!"
"Didn't you listen? It was all thanks to Ari. She is special, in powers and to the master."
A silence hung above them for a minute or so, before the White rider asked.
He saw it… But he couldn't have. And yet… there it was. He saw himself as a new born, saw his mother… saw her death.
"Why did you kill me War?" she asked again, the voice even more filled with sadness.
"I-I didn't! I-I couldn't have…" he was lost, unsure of what to believe anymore. Why did they never tell him?
A few moments later, even that image disappeared as well as the figure of the female. He reached again, opened him mouth to speak, but no voice came.
He woke, gasping for air and trying to calm down. He found himself unable to move and staring at the floor from above.
"You are awake."
"Greetings once again."
"We hope we did not inflict too much damage."
"Yes, I do apologies for that, but I doubted you would have come willingly," the master sized Death up and down.
"So the attack in the City of the Dead was all to get us out? Just who are you?" the Reaper was also inspecting the demon. He wanted to just jump and kill the bastard, but knew he still had War and Fury.
"Ah, how rude of me. Call you here and not even give my own name. Forgive me," he gave a mock bow before continuing: "I am Tynan and as you can see, a Demon. I believe you've met my associates. Well, two of them anyway. We have no special name, but as I'm sure you've noticed they are rather… unique. Wouldn't you agree?"
"So far, I've only seen one, so I wouldn't know. But what do you and your band of outlaws want?"
"That question is so… absurd. We all want different things, so you will have to be more specific."
"What do you want with us," his voice hardened and eyes narrowed.
"Again such an unreasonable question. I have something special in mind for each of you," that smirk grew more devilish with each word.
Looking around, he tried to figure out where he was. And then he saw those two, dressed in white and gritted his teeth.
"Where have you brought me?"
"To our master."
"As well as your sister."
"You are all safe for the time being."
"Fury?" he asked himself and looked around the room until he saw her, on her knees in a cage, crying.
"Why is she crying? What did you do to her?" had he not been restrained, he would have torn the two apart.
"We did nothing."
"You are the one that harmed her."
"Our master has given you a generous offer. You would do well to accept it."
"You said Death got an offer… Will the rest get it to?"
Looking up at him, the chimera wanted more than anything to know what he was thinking. But due to the helmet, he couldn't even read his expression.
"The other two probably, you however… no."
"Why is that?"
"Because you are unpredictable."
And done! This was the last one of my free week, so the others won't be coming so regularly. Tell me what you think by reviewing ^^
