Frozen Heart Chapter 12.
The wheel of fortune turned once again. The group, thanks to young Zuritan's help got back the Huntress from the false madness. She now stood against the Queen with dagger aiming at her fearless.
"Your spell won't affect me anymore, Witch!" shouted the cat determinative.
The Queen stared at them with rage and confusion. How could a little bastard break her spell? She didn't find any usable answer.
"You... how dare you..." sneered through her teeth the Witch. The female cat stood between her and her victims, ready to protect them.
"If you just try to hurt any of them..." hissed Molly.
"What you manage to do then? Kill me?" opened her arms the Queen.
"With pleasure" the cat shouted and attacked. She rushed at high speed toward the female.
"So... you want to give your life to them? So be it!" the dagger shined up in the Queen's hand and placed it close to the heart, murmuring spells.
The cat stopped when the pain stroke making her yelp. Her body was lifted up by invisible forces, moving her closer to the human. Molly struggled against the power, until the Queen not merged her claws into the heart. She screamed.
"Molly!" shouted Zuritan.
"Release her!" demanded Mickey and attacked with Ozzie on his side.
Suddenly a figure, Molly obstructed their path. The Queen used her as a shield, but still tortured the female.
"Grr... you damned hag!" sneered the Count.
"Hmm? Just not feel sympathy toward the one who almost killed you? Then what you think about this?" Molly's body, like a rag doll was tossed against the wall.
"No way!" it was Ozzie who jumped and caught the girl before she fell. The female trembled in his arms.
"Too bad... Then I crush your heart for betraying your Queen!" bellowed the Queen clenching her fist around the organ tighter.
"Kyaaa!" Molly let out a scream, she twisted and jerked in Oswald's arms, digging her fingers into her own chest. She could barely breath by the pressure.
"Stop it!" suddenly a small person rushed toward the Queen, passing by the minions. Zuritan, before anyone could react, jumped at the human's arm and merged his fangs into the flesh.
"AAAAHH!" the Queen let out a horrific scream. The heart fell out from her grasp and landed near the cat and Ozzie.
Molly weakly opened her eyes and glanced at the throbbing, locked organ. She reached out her trembling hand slowly, until her finger not touched the heart. A big load of energy burst out in the next moment, breaking all the chains around it. Molly? With some help by Oswald, forced herself in a sitting position. The heart, radiating with a brighter aura flew up and approached to the cat. She opened her arms and embraced it, like a long lost friend. In the hug the heart phased through her clothes and with another flash it got the rightful place inside Molly's chest. The female moaned, the pressure was so strange she felt in her upper body.
"No, no.. NO! What have you done? You pest!" shrieked the Queen as she tried to get rid off Zuritan. The young boy hold on her arm tight, growling as she bit the flesh.
"I have enough of you. DIE!" the Witch raised the other hand holding the dagger and stroke.
The kid's eyes widened and let out a scream when the silver slashed his shoulder and back. The Queen took advantage and tossed him against the wall hard. He yelped and collapsed down.
"No... no..." Mickey was stunned when his biggest horror came true.
"Zuritan!" shouted Molly and, with some totter, rushed to the kid.
Zuritan whined and trembled as he laid on his belly. His whole back was covered in blood and the skin sizzled were it made contact with the blade.
"What an annoying vermin!" spit the Queen annoyed, then she felt a strong, deadly presence. He raised her head and noticed the source.
Around Mickey, like a living black fog, his dark energy pulsated, emitting an ominous aura. His whole eyes turned red, his mouth torn into a snarl, showing his huge killer fangs. He clenched his clawed fingers.
"I... kill... YOU!" howled full with rage and blood lust.
Suddenly he vanished and after a moment, the Queen's body was slashed into half by the Count's claws. She tottered behind surprised, but didn't fell down.
"I felt this..." she said, and for everyone's shock her body regenerated.
"H-how this can be?" stunned Ozzie with dropped jaw.
"She... I can't believe this. The Queen is a heartless too..." stammered Molly as she tried to stop the bleeding on the young boy.
Mickey snarled and attacked again, his mind was covered in red cloud. Nobody could stop his fury. The Queen, mo matter how strong he charged, she remained alive. Then the female stepped to the left and slashed with her blade. The Count yelped and jumped behind, glaring at her.
"I have enough of this game! Let's finish it fast." the Witch's dagger shined again and said another spell. From the shelf a wooden box flew down into her hand.
After a moment of silence they heard a loud growl. Around them the minions let out a frightened chirp and retreated quickly.
"Now what's happening?" raised an ear Ozzie, holding his guns tighter.
"Damn, she just not call 'that'?" Molly gulped.
"Call what?"
"Prepare your weapons, bunny boy!" she shouted and aimed her daggers either "This will be a hard round!"
The growl now sounded closer, followed by heavy bumps, that echoed in the room. A moment later one of the doors vanished in a great rumble with a part of the wall. From the dust a creature appeared, that made even the raging Mickey startle.
