Chapter 40- Card Shark 5
Author's Note: Last chapter in Roade's fight... Enjoy!
Locked in a world of toys, madness shall surely follow her.
Krory narrowed his eyes as he rapidly jumped around while dodging the soldiers, and he appeared near Rôade.
He swung his fist at her, but missed as Rôade leaned to the side, and she smiled as she sent her foot into his stomach.
Krory gritted his teeth as blood rolled out of his mouth, and one of the soldiers grabbed his leg before throwing him away from Rôade.
He quickly jumped to his feet as the soldiers attacked at him again, and he watched as Rôade reached into her bag.
She slowly pulled out a doll that had no face, clothing, or hair.
Krory watched as she pulled out a card with Krory's name on it, and he froze as when she put the card on the doll, the doll suddenly changed into a doll of Krory.
"There's a new toy to my collection." Rôade said smiling as the soldiers attacked Krory again, and he jumped into the air to dodge them.
Rôade put two fingers on the doll's arm, and she grinned as she bent the arm upward, and Krory's eyes widened as he suddenly felt pain shot across his arm.
Rôade giggled happily as she bent all of the doll's limbs, and Krory gritted his teeth in pain as he felt unbearable pain shoot through his body.
He fell back to the floor, but was smacked down into it by the soldiers.
Rôade laughed happily as she continued to bend the doll's limbs, and Krory coughed blood as pain spread through his body.
It felt like he was on fire inside and out as Rôade continued to bend the doll's limbs.
"Die! Die! Die!" Rôade said happily as she threw the doll to the ground, and the two soldiers impaled it with their blades.
Krory let out a loud piercing screech as the pain increased drastically.
Rôade watched happily as Krory twitched frantically on the floor in front of her.
'I can't move… The pain…' Krory thought as he screeched again as the soldiers had impaled the doll again, and Rôade started to giggled happily at his screeches.
"Yes! Screech all you want!" She said happily as Krory twitched around on the floor in various jerks of pain.
He weakly looked over at Rôade as he started to lose focus, and he raised his hand slowly as he pointed at Rôade.
"You…" He muttered quietly, and finally closed his eyes as the pain overcame him.
Rôade smiled happily again as she walked up to Krory's body, and she kicked it gently to make sure he wasn't moving.
When Krory didn't respond, Rôade smirked as the soldiers returned to her bag, and the doll reverted to its previous form of no face, clothing, or hair.
Flashback
"She's the only child left after Mistress Road was taken away from the Masters." A butler muttered to a nearby maid as they looked over at a little girl around 3 surrounded by various toys.
"We must treat her greatly." The maid muttered, and they looked away as Rôade glanced over calmly without knowing what was going on.
Rôade happily skipped down the hallway of a huge mansion as she dragged a teddy bear behind her.
The servants and maids in the hallway all bowed to her as she continued to skip past them without knowing that they were there.
"I'm thirsty." She said suddenly, and a nearby maid ran for the kitchen as the other maids and servants watched Rôade calmly skip away as if she said nothing.
"The Masters told us to do whatever she said…"
"We must make sure that she stays in this mansion."
Rôade was now nearly 13 as she sat among the various toys of her large room, and she was calmly opening wrapped gifts as snow fell down outside.
The date was December 13, and Rôade was just turning 13.
Nobody else was in the room besides her, and she didn't seem to care as she opened another present to find another toy inside.
She looked at it a few times, and then set it down next to all of the others.
She looked over at the remaining presents, and she took the smallest one into her hand.
She quietly opened it, and her face lit up as she stared down at the deck of cards.
"I don't have this yet…" She said as she put the deck of cards in her dress pocket, and she then went back to opening presents.
Rôade stood up after opening all of the presents, and she looked around at the room filled with toys.
Her bed was covered in toys as she looked around for people, but saw none.
She looked over at the large cake in the corner, and she walked over to it silently.
She wiped some of the cream onto her finger, and then put the finger in her mouth as she silently stared at the cake.
The door suddenly opened, and Rôade looked over to see a man in a suit smiling over at her.
"How's my little princess doing on her birthday?"
"I'm okay…"
"That's good to hear, princess." The man said with a smile, and Rôade calmly looked at him as he closed the door.
Rôade heard footsteps leading away from her door, and she looked back at the cake sadly.
"Whew, what is this? A toy shop or a factory?"
Rôade's eyes widened as she looked around to see someone against the wall while slowly walking through the toys.
"Who are you? Better leave before I call the guards." Rôade said, and the person chuckled as he reached Rôade.
He put his hand on her head, and then looked at the cake.
"Birthday, huh? Wow…" He muttered with a low whistle, and Rôade moved out from under his hand as she stared up at him.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
"I came in through the window." The person said as he pointed behind him at the window, and Rôade looked over to see snow tracks on the windowsill.
"So what does the Birthday Girl want while she already has so many toys?" The person asked, and Rôade looked back at the person as he looked around at the toys.
"Answer my question or I will call the guards. They'll tear you apart if I tell them you touched me." Rôade said as she backed away, but froze as the person appeared behind her while patting her head.
"Come with me. Don't you want to see the world outside of that window?" He asked, and Rôade looked up at him in confusion.
The person held his hand down to her, and Rôade stared at it as he smiled sweetly at her.
Rôade looked away as she slowly backed away from him, and the person sighed sadly.
The person walked over to Rôade and knelt down to her eye level.
He slowly turned her around, and smiled at her as she stared back at him.
"Let's go see past that window, okay?" He asked as he slowly wiped the tears away from Rôade's eyes, and she slowly nodded before taking the person's hand.
"So can I have the Birthday Girl's name?"
"Rôade Kamelot."
"Ah, I'm Gin Coldblood. Call me Gin-kun if you want." Gin said with a smile, and Rôade also smiled as she pulled out the deck of cards, and she looked down at it.
Gin looked down at them too, and he smiled. "How about I teach you how to play?" He asked, and later that day, Rôade's parents walked into her room to find the various toys smashed around the room, and the hook where Rôade had hung her bag was bare.
"What happened here?"
"Where is she? I can't lose two daughters like this!" The man roared angrily, and the servants all fled as he glared angrily at the windowsill to see a piece of paper attached to it.
He snatched the paper off of the window, and he glared down at the paper.
I hope that you learn to not spoil your children just so they don't leave.
There's a larger world than the one you see out of a window.
I leave my regards to your futures, and may they be as miserable as possible.
Gin L. Coldblood and Rôade Kamelot
End Of Flashback
Rôade looked down at Krory happily, but froze as Krory suddenly rose up, and hit her back to the floor.
"You… can still move…?" She muttered as Krory slowly stood up while trembling in pain, and Rôade smiled happily as she pulled out her deck of cards.
"I want to… see…" She muttered before closing her eyes, and the deck of cards slipped out of her hands and scattered onto the floor.
Krory slowly walked over to her, and slowly picked the cards up to put them back into the deck.
He placed the deck next to Rôade, and then slowly made his way over to Komui.
"It's time to go save Lenalee…" Krory muttered as he lifted Komui, and then slowly walked away to go find Lenalee and the others.
Okay, Roade's past is revealed, and now it's time for-
Kiki: Me! XD
