Chapter 8: Losing a Nemesis

Carrie was stood there, staring at her father as he looked like he was about to breakdown. He looked over the dying man and smiled, looking at him with love. Carrie hated him, she didn't know why but the sight of the man, it filled her with rage.

"Please...Save me from the devil." That voice, Carrie heard it again. There was so much pain, so much anger in his voice.

"How? How did he give us our power?" Carrie asked as she looked at the dying John.

"He was born here, the Overlook hotel...They say it's cursed, they say it was built on an indian burial ground. That doesn't matter, John here was in death row when me and Michael went looking for test subjects for an experiment. You should have seen him back then, the power he wielded was unimaginable." Stephen explained. He showed Carrie his hands, making a coin fly around them, dancing through his fingers.

"So you did this to him?" Carrie asked.

"I was dying Carrie, I was shot with a radioactive bullet and I was dying. I saw him resurrect a guard murdered by Magician and I wanted that power. I discovered this place, the Overlook hotel...Where he was born." Stephen said, he had the smile of the devil when he said it but Carrie was still stood there, looking at him as if he was the devil.

"So you took this place over? Experimented and tortured him?" Carrie argued.

"I had no choice, I had to survive. For my family, for the people I cared about." Stephen yelled in an attempt to justify himself but it didn't work.

"You never cared about anyone." Carrie yelled. Stephen didn't care about her insult, it was like running into a brick wall.

"The thing is Carrie, I'm a survivor, I always have been...I took my first life when I was fifteen, I kill which is why I hunt...I have died which is why I'm dead...I am the Dead Hunter because of him." Stephen said. He was now angry, the objects in the room were shaking and Carrie could feel the control he was trying to get around her, she was pushing him back but it was difficult.

"What's the end plan with this though? With all of this?" Carrie asked.

"This world has enemies daughter, enemies more powerful than anything you can imagine." Stephen explained. He calmed down a little bit but there was rage in his eyes, rage and fear.

"Who?" Carrie asked.

"Edward Chow." Stephen said.

"Hello Carrie." Paul said as he jumped up behind Carrie, pushing a gun to the back of her head. He chuckled into her ear, it sent chills down her spine and the feeling of the against the back of her head didn't help.

Alex and Dave were staring at Nemesis, ready to face off for their final time. The snow was thick which meant they couldn't move as fast as they normally would, the cold was starting to get to them. Dave and Alex were shaking but they would manage, there were more important things to think about at the moment.

Dave was in pain and he was bleeding, the wounds weren't to bad but they sting which would make it difficult for him to fight but he's been in worse conditions and pulled through.

"This is going to be fun." Nemesis said as he looked at the two. They stared at his eyes, the only thing that you could see of him that wasn't protected by the white armour.

Dave picked up some snow and threw it at Nemesis, blinding him for a second. Alex ran towards Nemesis, kicking him in the chest. Dave turned his attention to the car and picked up a broken pipe that had fallen off the wrecked car.

Nemesis pushed Alex back and then kicked him in the knee. Dave ran towards Nemesis and smacked him in the leg with the pipe which caused Nemesis to fall to the ground. Dave smacked Nemesis in the face with the pole. He went to do it again but Nemesis caught the pole and swung Dave over him. Nemesis jumped up but as he did, Alex punched him in the face. Dave jumped up and kicked Nemesis backwards whilst Alex shoved him over. Nemesis fell to the ground but as he tried to get up the two heroes kept punching him.

"Where's Sue?" Alex said as he punched Nemesis in the face, he thought he split his knuckles when he punched him but it was affecting Nemesis so he had to keep going.

"She's safe...For now." Nemesis said as he pulled out a grenade and threw it behind the two heroes. They turned around and jumped out of the way. The explosion kept them down for a second but a second too long.

Dave went to get up but Nemesis grabbed hold of him, throwing him into the air. Dave hit the ground and managed to get up but by then Nemesis was right in front of him. He punched him in the face and then kicked him in the chest, Dave fell toward and Nemesis pushed him into the snow.

"Some fighter." Nemesis said as he grabbed hold of Dave's neck. Alex tackled Nemesis off Dave and fell backwards. He looked at Dave and nodded towards the car as Nemesis got up.

Dave and Alex ran towards Nemesis. This time Nemesis tried the first attack by swinging his fist towards Alex but missed when his target ducked. Alex grabbed his chest and pushed him against the wrecked car. Alex jumped backwards and Dave punched Nemesis in the chest and then in the face, grabbing a grenade from his belt as he stepped back. Alex ran back to grab the quad bike. He revved it up and let it go, directing it straight into Nemesis, crushing his legs and enabling him to move. Dave then threw the grenade into the wreckage and watched the explosion.

The two heroes took a moment to catch their breath, trying to work out what to do next. Alex walked towards the fiery wreckage, looking at the broken body as it burnt. He took a deep breath which was followed by a sigh filled with frustration.

"You ok?" Dave asked.

"I need to find Sue Snell...Know her?" Alex asked. He looked at Dave, begging him for some good news.

"A little." Dave said as he walked towards the burning wreckage.

"He took her, she's probably at the hotel." Alex said as he looked at the large building.

"She isn't going there...She's going someplace else." Nemesis croaked, he could barely get any words out but there they were his last.

"Where?" Alex asked.

"She's going to the birthplace of the Fraternity." Nemesis said. He then started to laugh, taunting the heroes in his final moments. He then pinned his last grenades, making sure that they won't get anymore information from him.

Alex and Dave noticed and ran back, jumping from the explosion. They looked around and knew that it would have drawn attention so they were going to have to leave and work out how to find Sue.

"Let's head to New York, I got a place there." Dave said.

Carrie was stood in the room with her father and her nemesis. Paul moved towards Stephen but kept the gun pointed at her, smiling like a devil as he did. She remembered Paul before the whole ordeal, she remembered thinking he was a really nice kid but needed a little toughening up like she did...And now he's a psychotic murdering machine thanks to Stephen, she saw a little humour in that...Only a little.

"History lesson? Oh I do love history...Tell her the stories of the Fraternity, did you know that the original organisation came about so that they could bring peace to the world...How funny." Paul said as he kept the gun at Carrie, he looked at John and laughed a little.

"Peace by killing all of the heroes." Stephen corrected.

"And then there is no one to fight then, they can take control and rule with an iron boot...Peace." Paul explained. He seemed rather happy with that dream, thinking about the hell he could raise so that he could bring peace.

"Is that your definition of peace Paul?" Carrie asked as she looked around the room. She noticed there was a bathroom behind them that had a window that looked outside.

"All I know it that it is unobtainable in its truest form, it needs to be simulated or at least forced." Paul explained.

"You know what Paul...I'd agree with you if weren't such a cunt." Carrie said as she jumped towards Paul. He tried to shoot her but Carrie stopped the bullet leave the chamber, she grabbed his arm and pulled him forward, uppercutting him as he came close. Paul ended up spitting blood and teeth out as she threw him to the ground.

Carrie forced Stephen to come towards her and punched him, she used her powers to push him back and out of the window but before she could fight him, she turned to Paul.

"You're just going to keep killing aren't you? It took me a long time but I learnt my lesson." Carrie said as she looked at the monster.

"You can't kill me Carrie, it's not in your best interest." Paul said as he unbuttoned his shirt. Underneath was a small black box with a red vial next to it in the middle of his chest.

"What is that?" Carrie asked.

"When my heart stops this is injected into me...It's the serum that was created from the remains of Night Demon...If you kill me, I'll come back and you won't be able to stop me." Paul said. He struggled speaking, there was so much blood in his mouth it made it hard for him to speak as it poured out of his mouth.

Carrie looked around, taking a moment to think and pushed Paul's head against the wall, knocking him out. She'd have to find a way to kill him soon but now was not the time. Carrie flew out of the building and towards Stephen who was in the snow. He got up and brushed it off.

"Are we really going to do this?" Stephen asked.

"I'm ending all of this." Carrie said. She pushed Stephen back, throwing him into a tree but he wasn't hurt at all, something which annoyed Carrie. The sirens went off and the dogs started to bark, Carrie knew that security was going to find them to which meant Rachel would get involved.

"This place, it has power...Enough power to bring your boyfriend back from the dead...It can make us gods." Stephen explained. He didn't like the idea of fighting Carrie, he may be her enemy but he still didn't want to do it.

"No." Carrie said. She used her powers to block Stephens throat, not allowing any air in or out so that he suffocates. She didn't want to use her powers like that but she had to knock him out some how. Once he hit the ground she picked up the body and shot off into the sky.

Carrie flew back to her safe house in New York, she was exhausted from the flight and wanted to rest but she couldn't because Stephen was unconscious and he could wake up at anytime so he had to be dealt with first. She had taken over Mindy's old safe houses and some of them had cells built into them for interrogating which is what Carrie needed right now.

Once he was placed in his cell Carrie reached for the phone and tried to ring Dave but there was no answer. She was going to make sure he was by her side when she was going to end the Fraternity.

The next day a place landed at an airport a few miles away from the Overlook hotel, it was the go to airline when you wanted to spend a week at the hotel because it was easy to get from one to the other. Several people in suits got off the plane and with them was a large coffin that they had specially transported. Alongside the coffin was a young Japanese man who wore an expensive red suit. His face was covered in tattoos, the symbols on his face looked like a mix between Aramaic, Japanese and ancient Chinese. He looked at the coffin that was dark red and approached a driver waiting for them.

"Are you ready to go to the Overlook Hotel?" The driver asked.

"Ready." The man in the red suit replied. The driver smiled and walked out of the airport, showing his client where the car is.

Well I hope you enjoyed so please review. So did you like the chapter? What would you like to see next? Who is the man in the red suit? Will Carrie find a way to destroy the Fraternity once and for all? Until next time, have fun.
