Heres a fun little note. Originally, the city visit was just going to be the gang going to the city, killing the chain, and acedentally killing some boy named Savien in the process.

But I got creative. Here you are readers!

Chapter 8

Gilbert came to a dead end. Savien had gotten away. The chain caught up with him.

"Well thats just perfect. Now what?" She said sarcastically.

"Now we look." Gilbert and Alice exited the dead end street. Oz was waiting at the end of it, with a dismayed expressioned. It pained Gil, but it was for the best that he ignored it.

"Oz, come on."

He rushed in the crowd. Oz didn't move an inch. Instead, he walked down the dead end alley.

Oh. A fresh target. The voice in Savien said.

No! That's Oz. We have a deal. Kill anyone but him. Savien thought. Not wanting to give away his hiding spot.

The voice only laughed. But he's basically asking for it!

No! Savien thought louder. It's a deal. You promised. He stuggled with the chain for control over his body. But the chain was stronger and completely possessed him.

Oh. About that... I lied. The voice laughed.

"Savien, I know your down here." the target called. "It's alright. Their not here anymore. Just come out."

My cue.

"Savien, I know your down here. It's alright. Their not here anymore. Just come out." Oz yelled down the alley. It was seemingly empty. Oz walked down it a bit and heard a sniffle.

"Savien?" More sniffles.

Then a faint wisper. "Oz..." Savien jumped out of his hiding place behind a couple of barrels and hugged Oz. The child buried his head in Oz chest. He was shaking.

"It's Okay." Oz tried to comfort him. "They went away. But they can help you. So you don't have to kill." The boy shook more.

Savien whispered strangely. "I just... I just wanted momma back." He cried more.

"It's okay. The chain lied to you. If you come with me we can kill it." The boy stopped shaking. Finally, were getting somewhere! Oz thought happily.

Suddenly, Savien grabbed on to Oz back tighter. So tight, it hurt.

"Kill it?" Savien said in a perfectly audible voice.

What? Oz thought. Savien grabbed on to him, in an almost bone crushing hug.

"S-Savien." Oz studdered through his compressed lungs. Savien looked up.

His eyes were filmed over and as black as night with nearly no white in them. On his face was a murderous smile.

"Sorry Oz. If you want to kill me, you have to kill the kid too."

The chain dug his fingers into Oz's back.

Oz screamed.

Gilbert and Alice were trapped in the current of the crowd.

"Dammit. We'll never get anywhere like this." the chain cursed. "The chain's probably killed someone by now."

As if perfectly timed, a scream echoed from the alley they just left. Some people in the crowd turned their heads, but did nothing. Gilbert and Alice were the only ones running towards it.

The chain reached the Alleyway first.

"OZ!" she screamed. Gilbert quickened his pace and set his gun to fire. When he reached the alleyway, he shot blindly, missing the chain holding Oz. The chain let go of him and jumped into the light. It was Savien. Gilbert got his gun ready to shoot.

"Honestly, you would shoot at a child? A child?" the chain chanted accusingly. "Go ahead and do it then." He raised his arms, ready to accept a bullet. Gilbert hesitated.

Very dangerous. Don't be fooled. Use all means necessary.

Gilbert shot. At the moment of the click, the chain jumped out of Savien's body. Gilbert couldn't stop. Savien let out a whispered scream right before the bullet implanted itself in his chest.

The chain floated in mid air.

"Congratulations. You've killed an innocent child."

Gilbert set his gun again.

"You bastard!" he yelled right before he let a barrage of bullets out at the chain.

Oz, previously in a daze. Snapped out of it by the boom of a gunshot mixed with Savien's scream.

"Congratulations. You've killed an innocent child." said a voice from above.

"You bastard!" Gilbert yelled.

Through the many booms of bullets, Oz made his way to Savien. He ignored the pain and blood coming from the deep scratches on his back. His friend was bleeding heavily, but still looked alive.

"Savien!" Oz carefully lifted his friend up.

"O-Oz..." he studdered. His eyes were clouded. He looked on the verge of death. He managed a small smile. "Sorry." Tears escaped his eyes.

Suddenly, Saviens eyes went wide and his pupils strength. He fell out of Oz's hands and curled up, clutching his chest, and geve a whispered scream.

"SAVIEN!" Oz knew exactly what was happening. He got up to try to help the boy but was thrown far back by some invisible force. He hit a wall hard and fell to the ground. Oz got up to his hands and knees. On the other side of the Alley, Savien was glowing purple and was surrounded with a clock that was the same pattern as Oz's contracting mark.

"Oho!" the chain sang. " I see my time is almost up here. Master will be happy with the many I've killed. But I could grab at least one more." The chain raised a large, shadowy fist to attack Oz, but stopped mid swing.

"NO!" Savien screamed. The chain was immobilized. Oz got up.

"SAVIEN!" Oz ran towards the large purple clock, but Gil grabbed him.

"No Oz!" Gilbert had him in a lock but he struggled away and grabbed the gun.

"If we can kill the chain-!" He knocked Gilbert down and ran with the gun. Oz shot blindly at the chain. He shot until the gun was out of bullets, then shot the empty gun at it as if it would do something.

The chain, sinking in the ground along with Savien and his screams, smiled and sang:

"Useless."

Gilbert caught up to Oz and grabbed him. Oz screamed. There was no reason to. There was nothing else he could do but scream along with Savien.

After a couple of seconds, Savien's screams dissapeared and all that was left were Oz screams, a silver flute, and a copy of holy knight.

This chapter was sort of short. Thats the end of my O.C.
