Trinity Blood: Wire In The Blood

Chapter Forty: To Heaven In A Hell-basket

Abel entered the sanctuary and gazed upon his child with concern, "Katiya?" he began as he approached to placate her, "what's wrong?" he asked softly as he placed his hands on her shoulders.

His daughter fully embraced him, "I love you apa!" she cried in distress.

"Katiya? W-what happened sweet-pea?" the priest asked in total quandary.

"I want us to go to sleep…I want to feel secure," the youth told him mournfully.

"Well Katiya it's only 10:30 pm and Lady Caterina has a job for me so…" he tried to reply with levity to cheer his upset daughter.

"TO HELL WITH THAT CARDINAL!" she cried, "I-I need you more than she does. She can assign some other priest to the job," the youth cried as she tried to pull her parent along.

Father Nightroad stood his ground and sighed, "Katiya…I can't I have orders," he told her with some mild seriousness.

"I don't care if you have have orders I NEED you!!!" Kati cried as she continued the futile attempt to budge her father from his spot.

"Asenath…enough you're being childish…" Abel told her.

"I DON'T CARE!" his child cried, "I need…"she was cut off by a small smack to the face, delivered from her father.

The man sighed, "Asenath…I can't coddle you right now…Lady Caterina requests my assistance on a very important matter involving a devious organization," he told her sternly, "now straighten up…you told me yourself that you're an adult…now act like one…" the man told her before turning away to return to the Cardinal's chambers and finish hearing out the meeting with the other senior AX crew members.

The silver haired girl stood trembling. Her cousin entered the sanctuary, "Katiya please tell me what happened."

"We're going to have tribulations tonight and one of us is going to die. I know that you are aware of it…" the dark haired girl's cousin replied.

Syair frowned and knew deep down that what was going to take place later tonight would turn out tragic.

Elsewhere not too far off in Rome:

The song, 'Tongues,' by the Death metal band, 'Deathstars,' was playing loudly in the alley below Kirkja and his demonic familiar. A dark smile crossed his face as he stared at the distant form of the Vatican, "that's where mother is?"

"Yes lover…" the bird whispered before looking over its shoulder to see Dietrich Von Lohengrin coming toward him, "lover…" it whispered.

"Yes I know…I knew that he was coming here…" the son of Cain told his familiar lowly.

"Awe…" Kirkja smiled as he turned to the Puppet Master, "Hello Marionettenspieler, back to disobeying my father's orders?"

"W-what do you mean young master?" Dietrich asked coyly.

Kirkja kept his devious smile, "don't jest me. I never realized that you loved my mother so much as to try and offer her a second chance in our organization. Father will not be pleased by this report over your lack of obedience perhaps I should kill you and do my father a favor."

"Young master…I beg you for once don't kill Meine Damengöttin der Zerstörung (Translation: My Lady Goddess Of Destruction. This is another code name for Katiya in the Orden. But it's more of an honorific name such as 'Mein Herr Contra Mundi' (My Lord against the World) for Cain Knightlord)!" The Puppet Master pleaded.

The son of Contra Mundi raised an eyebrow at the human, "My-my…I'm surprised. You of all people who loves the torture of others so much that it seems to bring you sexual gratification would want to spare the life of another…"

"Please Mein Herr Anti Christus (Translation: My Lord Anti-Christ. Kirkja's codename in the Order) I beg you to spare her…"

The twelve year old shook his head, "I'm sorry but I can't oblige your plea. I have to kill my mother…I love her too much to let her live. Now go back to the Orden or I WILL kill you. You're practically worthless to the organization anyways," the boy told him before jumping roofs toward the Vatican.

The man stood on the roof looking at the fading image of his leader's son into the dark.

At The Vatican:

Abel looked toward the large window briefly as his concentration from the meeting was momentarily distracted from a deeply uneasy feeling.

"Abel…did you hear?" The Duchess of Milan asked sternly when she noticed him 'zoning out.'

The priest turned to her, "Yes! I-I heard you!" he chuckled moronically with an idiotic grin.

Some of the AX members gave him a strange look before coming to the realization that the priest's behavior was normal and resumed their attention to the Cardinal.

In The Gardens:

Katiya looked over her shoulder to see her and her uncle's son staring at her maniacally.

"Hello Meine Damengöttin der Zerstörung…my mother," the boy told her.

"Kirkja…I'm glad that you're here…"she whispered before her eyes began to gleam red, "I'm surprised that you'd choose to address me honorifically."

Back In The Building:

Syair gasped as a tight feeling of uneasiness bound her like a tight noose around the neck. She ran to Talitha's room, "Skye, Esther, get Talitha and RUN!" she cried in trepidation.

"Huh? Why?" Esther cried…

Just then the lights failed and there was a ground tremor followed by a loud demonic screech of some kind of creature.

Outside:

The daughter of Abel stood tall in eighty percent S.K form with fifteen foot length flaming red and black wings of Hell-fire. Two serpent-like demons swirled around her like she was the center of the world. Her pupils where like black pits and her eyes glowed red with malice. Her skin was snow white with black, glossy, markings under her eyes. Her main set of fangs were needle-like and well over six-inches long and her other, smaller, set of fangs were only three inches long. Her demonic barbed whip, in Krusnik form, had morphed into a liquidized triton that was held together by some form of magical force, it swirled and swished as it held its triton form, "I will kill you…once and for all. You don't have the right to breath air of the living…Anti-Christ child…" the woman hissed in a metallic, demonic, feminine tone.

Her son looked at her blankly before chuckling, "Then…we'll go to Hell together…" he told her before his eyes began to gleam red.

Back In The Building:

"Uncle Abel!!" Syair screamed when she saw him running toward her, "evacuate everyone NOW!"

"What HAPPENED?!" the priest demanded as the hall began to tremble from a turbulent force outside.

"Kaitya…! Katiya took Super Krusnik form!!!!"

The man halted with shock, "WHAT?!" he cried in disbelief.

The Vatican shook violently from the battle outside.

"Uncle…I'll get everyone out…keep an eye on your daughter! Don't let her unleash one-hundred percent in this form!"

The silver haired man nodded and ran off toward the gardens.

Outside:

The two creature's weapons collided.

"Demon!" Katiya hissed.

Her son laughed and flew higher as his demonic familiar battled his mother's familiars. The silver haired super Krusnik flew after him.

Just then Abel entered the area and took one-hundred percent Krusnik form without any hesitation to aid his child.

Kirkja swung his weapon and caught his mother off guard, slicing her throat. The female creature gagged as gallons of her blood spurted from the incision in her throat and looked at her son.

"How does it feel mother?" the other S.K asked her before chuckling manically.

Red tears fell from his mother's eyes as she closed her eyes and fell out of the air, in human form, trailing blood out of her incision like a morbid line.

Father Nightroad gasped and flew to catch his little girl from hitting the ground.

"A-ASEANTH?!" her father cried in shock and guilt before looking toward the night sky to see that the assaulter had left. He turned back to his child, limp in his arms, "Asenath…" he laid her down and patted her cheek, "come now…don't do this to me…" her father whispered sadly. His little girl took his hand and squeezed it lightly before taking a girdled breath and falling lifeless. The Krusnik smiled as he tried to keep himself from emotionally collapsing. He stroked her cheek as tears fell from his eyes, "I'm sorry…"he murmured before the gravity and the realization of the situation slammed him like a ton of bricks.

Father Nightroad screamed into the air, "OH GOD! NO!!!!" he held his lifeless daughter to his chest, "I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…" he kissed her temple as red tears fell upon her flesh and left trails, "I didn't want this for you. I was supposed to protect you…" he sniffled hysterically, "I failed you…I failed. My little girl-my baby…I'm sorry. Oh…God…"

Just then several of the Vatican members, including Syair and Skye, came running and stopped in shock.

"AHH-HHH-HAHHA! WHO KILLED HER?!" the transvestite cried.

Abel looked up at them in his human form and lifted his child up before carrying her away; totally ignoring the by-standers, "I'll bring you back daughter," he whispered under his breath before kissing her head lightly.

In the realm of the dead:

Katiya stirred awake to find herself in a beautiful field, wearing a robe that resembled her space uniform, "what? Am I in Hell?" she mumbled before pressing on through the field.

Just then a beautiful Chellos song came out of nowhere.

"Where am I?" she whispered before being answered unexpectedly, "You're in Heaven my love."

The youth spun around to see her Methuselah lover holding a Chellos instrument at his feet. Her heart skipped a beat, "Ian?" she gasped before embracing him, "Oh my God I missed you!"

The Vampire kissed her, "You look good…I missed you too but…it's not really your time to join me and the others…" he told her.

Abel's daughter looked at him, "what are you talking about? I've died…I'm also in Heaven, surprisingly, how is it not my time?"

The Methuselah stroked her cheek, "You'll find out soon enough…I love you always," he told her…

Back In the world of the living:

Abel placed his daughter beside Lilith's glass casket before, one again, taking Krusnik form. Bloody tears fell from his eyes, "I will bring you back daughter…even if it kills me," he whispered in despair before slashing his wrist and dripping his blackened blood onto her face and upper body for it to seep into her wound…

"I love you…please return to me…" he whispered lowly.

(To Be Continued In Chapter Forty-One)

Note: Yeah the events in this chapter went kind of fast…well in my opinion but as you know it's not over and you probably know what's going to happen next. I don't know when I'll post the next chapter though…sorry.
