Phobos' Tower
Cornelia was backed up against the cold, hard wall. In front of her, Phobos extended a long, pale arm, and in the darkness of the tower it seemed to be glimmering, glowing brightly with some lost radiance that he once wore. She hissed, and felt pain in her mouth from the fangs that were making it their home.
"Take it."
Cornelia pushed her arm, even though she felt incredibly weak, against the wall behind her, and rose to her feet. She struggled, and pushed, and once she was on her feet she lost her balance. She nearly fell again, but she didn't allow it.
"No."
Phobos folding his arms so that they disappeared into the folds of his robes. His eyes glowed a pale yellow when the moon's light shone in from the window. "Then go. I already told you what you are to do."
Cornelia rolled her eyes; Phobos was weak, frail, pathetic. She could take him down herself.
She held out her palms so that they faced him, and gasped when she saw the sharp, long claws that had grown. Angry rushed through her veins while Phobos stood calm, with no emotion on his face. Her blood ran hot, not cold like his. Her beautiful crystal blue eyes had faded, and so did her skin, so she looked like an old, washed-out photograph.
Her hair rose from behind her, running up her back like snakes until they slithered into the air behind her head. Phobos still stood quiet and unafraid.
She extended her claws in front of her and prepared for the fight. With all of her might she screamed, "You totally ruined me you monster!!" She wasn't gonna let him get away with ruining her beauty. She was going to destroy him.
She pounced, her hair flailing behind her like a flock of phoenixes, burning with rage and fire. She jumped on top of Phobos, stabbing her claws into his arms, and chest. He stared up at her, undisturbed.
"I cannot feel pain. Get off and go."
Cornelia's hair fell around them, like a curtain of golden thread. She noticed her position on him, and nearly barfed.
Phobos pushed her off, rose to his feet in a ghostly manner, and closed his eyes. "So.. Hungry.." Anger controlled him as well, and he yelled, "Go! You worthless, pathetic human!" Cornelia growled and turned to the window. She wasn't going to hurt Elyon. She was going to..
"And don't think about betraying me. You are in my control."
Cornelia closed her eyes and placed her hand on the window's rim. Damn. She thought sadly, and breathed in. She placed her knees on the window sill and slid over to the edge. She gazed out, and she saw endless darkness, glistening waters, and a long way to the bottom.
In one swift movement, Cornelia jumped.
Hospital Room 242
Cornelia jerked up, and her body arched suddenly in front of the rebel. Her hair flung around in a swirling waterfall, slapping his face that rested by her's.
"Cornelia!" Caleb exclaimed, frightened for the earth guardian.
She hurled her body fiercely on the bed, and Caleb had to rush to her side and catch her before she splattered on the tiled floor. She jerked in his arms, and whispered and muttered under her breath. Caleb held her to his chest, and kissed her forehead, softly. Cornelia calmed down, and her body stopped shaking, and only light quivers ran through her.
"Cornelia, you're going to be okay."
Caleb said, knowingly and lovingly, and scooped her up. Her arms fell limp, and her head fell back, her long, golden hair swaying beneath her in a long cascading rain of blonde thread.
He placed her gently on the bed, and she curled up, and shivered. He placed the green knitted blanket he brought for her over her shaking body. Embroidered on the quilt was: "Cornelia, wherever you are, know that I'm always with you. No evil can touch you, as long as you remember my kiss."
Caleb tucked the quilt around Cornelia's cold body, and placed a soft, soothing kiss on her lips.
He closed his eyes, and saw Meridian, dark, hopeless. Creatures flew in the gleam of the moon. Elyon was hanging from the gallows, and the creatures were each given a chance to feed off her. Phobos used a long claw to slice down his sister's arm, freeing the still-warm blood.
Cornelia gracefully flew from the night sky, and landed next to the evil Prince… and kissed his cold lips as he slipped his arms around her, pulling her close. Phobos pulled Cornelia's beautiful hair, exposing her pale neck, and licked it, from her neck bone, to her ear.
