Chapter 8, I get dangerous.
(Zero's POV.)
We came barreling out the door so fast all of us fell over on top of each other, Nights was stuck on my leg and I was halfway sprawled across Caroline…or at least enough to cover half of her lower back if you count that as sprawled. Caroline struggled under my left thigh and pushed me off as I rolled onto the concrete, she got up and forgot that Nights was on top of her as well and pushed Nights off too before scrapping her pants of dirt and dead bugs apparently.
"Pleasant," Nights announced brushing her legs, "That's real pleasant." Caroline (still in other form) shot a glare at Nights from across,
"Get off of me yourself the next time BEFORE I throw you off!" My eyes went wide for a minute and then went back down, none of this was amusing but I have to say it kept my eyes and my ears occupied for long enough before I spotted something in the distance.
"Hey catfight," I called over to them, both of them turned to look at me and as Caroline glared at me but as usual I ignored her with ease. Nights floated over to me and stared at me with those bug eyes of hers,
"What is it?" Nights asked, I pointed to the horizon as a small dot was moving in OUR direction. Was it coming for us? And more importantly was it worth MY time? Neither of these questions did I ask but my mouth opened a fracture but I snapped it shut. Nights narrowed her eyes in an attempt to get a closer view but she glanced back down at me and shook her head indicating that she didn't see anything. I sighed and threw my arms up in exasperation,
"Well I guess that's it then isn't it, I was hallucinating but I suppose beggars can't be choosers now can they?" Night nodded as if understanding my sarcasm, Caroline ran up next to me as Nights floated back down to ground level and stepped through us like we were a gate that was open. She squinted her eyes and then her eyes went wide and her regular pupils narrowed, (I guess she switched back by now.) She gripped my arm and did the same with Nights and pulled us toward a new gate,
"We have to leave now!"
"Why?" Night asked back immediately, her face looked stricken with terror, I still barely knew Carol but her expression was enough to get me and Nights bolting for the same door as her. But all of us slammed into something hard, tall, and hot? We all sat up dazed from the impact and through my blurred vision I could make out a tall jet black haired girl with punk chained pants on and black combat boots. On her top she wore a black body tight shirt with no straps and one word on the front with the letter s dripping down like blood. The shirt read Fire, on top of that she wore and cropped leather jacket that made her look like a bickers girlfriend. Her black hair was tied up in a sideways punk ponytail and she had a deep purple streak that matched her storm gray eyes that were staring at us with pure absolute hatred. She work spiked bracelets that were black and storm silver and a tattoo that coiled up both of her arms like a snake. To tell you the truth, the tattoos were of snakes, king cobras actually. Finally her hands also she had on regular leather gloves each with their own death symbol on the palm. She looked terrifying yet somewhat hot at the same time. And I mean hot looking toward boys. Her expression clearly said one thing….I want to rip your heads off and hang them as trophies. I got up slowly and stared at her, she scowled but not at me…at Caroline. What…did she have some kind of grudge because I have known Caroline long enough to know that she never holds a grudge, even if the person really pisses her off. Caroline lined in front of us and spread her arms out wide
"Stand Back Raven!" She yelled as if nothing could shake her, but in that moment I knew that it could. She was acting fierce and even putting herself in harm's way just to protect us, guess….she really did care. I sighed and pushed Caroline back, now I was in front and Me personally….well…….i wasn't afraid to leave this earth for a while, even if it be over a decade. Caroline gasped and gripped my right shoulder
"What are you doing!?" She asked wildly "Raven will……"
"I know," I said trying to calm her down, "I know and……" I turned and got up right in Raven's face, "I don't give a fucking care." Caroline's mouth dropped open as Nights just gasped. Raves eyes glowed with hatred as she shot her hand toward my neck and started choking me fiercely.
"Ya know somethin emo!?" She yelled, I could see her veins bulging with anger as I could somehow see fire flowing through them. "Nobody speaks to ME that way," She tightened her grip, I was gagging and coughing as her eyes seemed to burn holes in my torso. Caroline quickly shot to her feet and raced for me, Rave took note of this and sidestepped Caroline as she barreled down into a tree, Raven laughed and turned back to me. "Now you can see you pathetic Static girl that you are no match for me!" I scoffed and gripped both of her arms, for a moment she looked confused and that was enough time for me to give her what she had earned! I sent electrical jolts shooting through my arms and up hers and all throughout her body. She screamed and released her grip as I dropped to the ground. Caroline took this opportunity and made a grab for Raven's back which I found sort of stupid….but it worked. Rave snarled like a wild animal and shook Caroline off sending her flying into some black ocean that apparently surrounded this place. Night's eyes widened as she too did something stupid too, she jumped in after her. I was alone to face this pyromaniac, Raven spun toward me her eyes glowed with hatred. "Just you and me huh emo?!" I shrugged and for a moment my eyes were on something else, I turned back to her not bothering to say "yah I guess we are," because I didn't feel like it.
"Ok but…..the first strike is mine," I said softly. Raven scoffed and back up as her hands boiled with smoldering heat. I raised my arms out wide and banged them together. The entire ground shook beneath our feet as a shock wave shot from my hands and rocketed straight toward Raven. Raven scowled and jumped several feet in the air launching multiple fireballs in my direction. With a terrified jump I rolled to the side as the first shot past my ear barely scraping the surface, "Aughhhh!" I screamed as I fell to the ground, there was a hot burning feeling on me. I had a feeling it was my clothes. I shot to my feet and glared at her. I concentrated all my energy and blasted a stream of blue lighting, hot as hell itself toward Raven while her back was to me. Raven's ears twitched but before she could even turn around the lightning bolt struck dead center in her back as her scream echoed piercing the sky like and assassins dagger. As I stood there my legs shook from that terrifying blow. I wasn't about to do another because when it comes to fire demons, things REALLY tend to get HOT if you know what I mean. For a moment no one moved, no one even breathed but Caroline ran over toward me and stood by my side.
"Nice one," She said through her panting voice. I smiled and gripped her shoulder,
"We have more important things to worry about, like the pyromaniac you call Raven." She resisted the tempting urge to laugh at the new nickname I gave Raven but she did anyways. Raven emerged from the rubble and glared at us her eyes hotter than earth's molten core.
"Hyahhhhhhh!!!" Raven screamed so loud both of us grasped our hands over our ears. Fire shot out in all directions as Raven began to rise off the ground. She was now in the center of her own personal vortex of fire. Caroline took my arm and threw me behind a boulder as she grasped her pendant and tore it right off; all around her clouds darker then death began to swirl around her. Her hair reverted to the silver color it had been all those previous times and her eyes, color of blood narrowed up to those narrow slits. Rave winced but she didn't even look scared, Caroline rose in her own tornado of darkness. It was an insane clash as if Caroline and Rave weren't there, just their souls forever fixed in this battle. But I had to help somehow!
"I know she'll get mad at me for doing this," I concentrated harder than I ever have and I too began to lift off the ground in a swirling cyclone of electricity. Lighting shot out from the tornado and dealt severe blows to Raven. Raven regained her footing and launched a volley of fireballs at me; I shot lighting out as the balls exploded in front of me. Caroline looked at me with sad eyes and then her face turned serious again. "I'm sorry," I said without even looking at her, Caroline sighed and nodded, I knew what she wanted. She wanted us to do one final attack. We combined our tornados and shot one big powerful beam at Raven. Her tornado along with ours exploded on the spot as we plummeted toward the ground, everything went black.
Chapter End.
