I hate school, especially around Midterms; teachers always try to squeeze in extra tests and quizzes. I already have a test every day. How is it even possible to have three Science Tests within not even TWO WEEKS?

I got a half day today, but I still had a Science Test, so I thought I might use my free time to type this up.

Anyway, enough of my rambling...

"Talking" Thoughts Poke-Speech

On with the Story...

Chapter 11: Death

Previously:

*Rose's POV, Mount Silver*

A guard stopped us at the gates and asked, "Identification?"

Mark and I searched our pockets, finding fake I.D.s in them, which we handed over to the guards.

The guard nodded, "New Recruits, Aye? Miss Clarissa will need to see you for the Blood Bonding then, follow me."

Mark and I looked each other in the eye, smirking slightly.

We're in, now hopefully we will succeed...

*Mark's POV, Team Infinity Base*

The guard, from earlier, led Rose and me to a strange room that seemed to be an office.

The chair at the desk was turned to face the wall behind it.

Just like in all those old movies, where the boss doesn't show his face until he deems his employee worthy.

The guard cleared his throat and I heard a female voice ask, "Yes?"

The guard fidgeted slightly before nodding, "New Recruits, Madam."

Rose and I glanced at each other, which made me finally notice that her hair had turned red, Madam?

The boss finally turned her chair around, for us to see a light skinned young woman with long blonde hair, ice cold blue eyes, and wearing a female business suit.

Rose and I sort of bowed, in respect.

Like we would ever obey her, but this is for the sake of the world, so we have to.

Clarissa turned toward the guard and waved her hand, signaling for him to get out of here.

Clarissa scanned us over, "You look like they could be strong, and you have the muscle..."

Clarissa winked flirtatiously at me, which made me internally gag and Rose grind her teeth.

*Rose's POV, Team Infinity Secret Base*

What the heck is wrong with her she's like thirty and she's flirting with my Mark, the person I'm going to be with after all this is over.

*Mark's POV, Team Infinity Secret Base*

Seems like Rose, is jealous of Clarissa's horrible attempt at flirting.

Seriously isn't she like ten years older than me, but I can use this to my advantage.

I smirked, but made it look like a smile, "Thank You. Madam."

Rose must have caught on and said, "We appreciate the compliment, Mademoiselle. My brother and I are happy to join Team Infinity."

I gave her a glance that said 'What the Heck? We don't look alike.'

Rose mouthed the words, 'Your hair.'

I pulled down a lock of my hair and saw that it was indeed Red, the same shade as Rose's hair.

What! I hate the color Red, unless it's on Rose.

Clarissa smiled mischievously, obviously having perverted thoughts concerning me on mind, "It's just too bad that both of you walked into a trap. Even if that guard was stupid enough, I'm not. I know that both of you are the guardian of Life and Death respectively. Isn't that right Mark Andrew Robert? Rose May Hayden? The fact that you changed your hair color doesn't change anything."

Rose and I mocked confusion, while I tilted my head, "Who are Mark and Rose? Other recruits?"

Clarissa snorted, "Drop the act. I will not fall for it."

Rose and I looked at each other and gasped, "How did you figure it out?"

Clarissa smirked evilly, "I never had scheduled for any new recruits to arrive today."

Both Rose and I face-palmed, how could we be so stupid?

Clarissa laughed again, a set of twin swords appearing in her hands, "This ends here. My revenge will be fulfilled. Say goodbye, you two."

With that Clarissa lunged at Rose and stabbed a sword straight through Rose's stomach.

Rose staggered back, collapsing in a pool of blood.

Clarissa took the sword out of her body, and came running toward me, but stabbing me close to the heart.

I was choking on my own blood, one of my lungs must have torn, "Why did you even stab her, you know she can't be killed?"

Clarissa smirked, bent down, and whispered into my ear, "She wasn't my target."

My eyes widened, comprehending what Clarissa had meant.

Oh No...

Clarissa lifted up the sword once more, but using my last bit of strength, I managed to use grab the sword and reverse it, this time hitting Clarissa's heart and killing her automatically, along with all the workers because she had blood-bonded with them, so that she wouldn't die alone.

I used my last remaining strength to crawl over to Rose.

Rose was in pain, but she managed to lift her head and acknowledge me.

I touched her face slightly, before lifting both my hands above her wounds, sending a powerful healing aura into her wounds.

Rose smiled at me in thanks, but then her expression turned into one of shock and sorrow, "Mark! No!"

I had used my last remaining energy to heal her, and I could feel my consciousness slipping.

I'll see you again when Giratina comes to take your soul when you die from age, Rose. Goodbye.

I could only hear my heart, beating faintly.

Thump. Thump. Thump. Silence.

Sorry people, but this is the final chapter. Only the epilogue is left. Pray I have a Snow Day tomorrow so I can post it...

Review. (^_^)
