Thanks SO much for reviewing. I have released the first part of my hunger games story so please check it out and review it! I'm SO sorry this took so long. I will be focusing more on Only With You and AVP5's story. If you've noticed this story is coming to an end. BUT, I will continue making Jim x Melody stories. So keep an eye for those. LET THE CHAPTER BEGIN!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Little Mermaid or Treasure Planet. If I did Jim and Melody would be the only thing that happened.
Chapter 10: Don't Leave Me
Obsidian's P.O.V
Scarlett was more than I expected. She had powers, strength and determination. Getting rid of Melody would be easy. Scarlett listened to everything I said and put in a few of her own ideas. I believe we'll have our plan ready in a week or so.
"Scarlett, what happened to you and Melody?" I asked stepping out of the shadows. The light glinted off of my blonde hair highlighting it. My icy blue eyes locked with hers.
"Some things are better left unsaid." Scarlett replied gazing at her shoes. I nodded and continued working on our machine. I only wanted revenge on Melody because of what she did. SHE STOLE MY RUBBER DUCKY IN GRADE TWO! AND I'LL NEVER FORGIVE HER FOR THAT! (A/N I know what you're thinking. This is why he's angry?! I was just kidding!) She hurt my brother by turning him down. And according to him it wasn't nicely. I gazed at Scarlett. She reminded me of someone from my past.
Jim's P.O.V
Zero and I were having an intense staring contest when Scarlett bursted into the room. We turned to look at her and watched as she disappeared. I blinked twice. Did that really happen?
"Did you just see that?!" Zero yelled. I nodded nervously. Soon Melody had entered the room. She had tears trickling down her face. I jumped out my seat and hugged her.
"It's gonna be alright. She'll come back. Don't worry." I cooed. I fixed my eyes on Zero and glared at him.
"Zero, the door's over there." I watched as he slowly connected the dots. Finally it clicked.
"OH!" He shouted and left. That boy needed serious help. A few hours ago he was evil and cold and now he's all immature and childish.
I tucked Melody into her bed and left. I hope Scarlett returns.
Melody's P.O.V
A stream of sunlight poured onto my face waking me from my slumber. Stretching, I stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom. 15 minutes I emerged looking like my normal self. My eyes were still slightly red and puffy from crying all night. I sighed as I went back into the bathroom to apply some makeup to cover it up. Stepping out again I noticed a note taped on the front door. It read:
Dear Melody,
I left early to go buy us some breakfast. Don't overexert yourself today, okay? I'll be back soon.
Love,
Jim
I set the note down. Great, now I've got nothing to do. I plopped onto the couch. My mind started to wander back to last night. Scarlett. Would she ever forgive me? The words she said last night kept bouncing around in my head. "You… you lying brat. You want every man to yourself. I finally find someone that might like me and you have to ruin my happiness. Well you're also ruining our friendship. Don't ever talk to me again." It kept repeating making my head throb. "STOP IT! STOP IT PLEASE. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" I shrieked. I'm turning insane, I feel like my sanity has been ripped from me. Tears sprung to my eyes. "Stop it… stop it please." I mumbled under my breath. Silence filled the room. My phone emitted a little bong shattering the silence. I managed to yank out my phone. Tapping the screen, the phone sprung to life. On the screen there was a blinking sign saying: 1 New Message. Curiosity made me double tap on the message. "Unknown number huh? Sounds a little shady…" I warned myself. The message popped onto my phone. Reading it over, I let out a piercing shriek. I read it again. This can't be happening! It read:
Hello Melody,
It's your good friend Obsidian. I hope you still remember me because, I still remember you. I wanted to get to you, but I asked myself "How? How do you get to a spoiled lying brat?" Then it hit me. You take out her lover. So if you don't come quickly, Scarlett and I will slaughter him. Don't even think of calling the police, because Scarlett can sense it and we'll kill him before they even know where we are. You have an hour to come to the warehouse where you and I had our last fight.
See you soon or Jim here meets God.
Obsidian
He has Jim and Scarlett. The tears were pouring down my cheeks. And to top it off it was raining outside. I knew what I had to do. Grabbing my denim half jacket and black polka dot umbrella, I headed out. Once I was outside I signalled a cab and headed to the warehouse. I remember the warehouse well. The fight I had with Obsidian was still fresh in my mind.
FLASHBACK (TWO YEARS AGO)
I had been going out with Lucas for two months and was having a blast. Lucas, Obsidian's little brother, was sweet, caring, funny and handsome. One night while I was waiting for Lucas, I thought I saw him kissing another girl. However, later I realized he was only hugging his cousin. I was stupid and rash and broke up with him. The end of our relationship hit him bad. I didn't know he had heart problems until he died of a heart attack. It was my fault he died. Obsidian cared a lot for his younger brother and in his rage brought me to an old abandoned warehouse and attacked me. I was actually a great fighter because a lot of people targeted me because I was a princess. However, I was still mourning over Lucas's death and my defense and attacks were sloppy. I always kept a weapon on me but it was only a dagger. However, the warehouse we were in had lots of weapons. I spotted a weapon I was familiar with. A katana. Obsidian went for a machete and we fought. He managed to nick my side, creating a long gash. Fortunately, I had butt-dialed my father and he had heard Obsidian and me fighting. He phoned the police and tracked my phone down. The police stopped him and arrested him. I fainted from blood loss and when I woke up I found myself in a hospital. I stayed there for two days and while I was there I saw on the TV that Obsidian had escaped. However we never heard anything about him for a whole year that we brushed it off.
Finally we reached the warehouse. I kicked the doors open and ducked into the warehouse. I found Jim handcuffed to a pole near the other side of the warehouse. Forgetting about Obsidian I rushed towards Jim. "Jim! Wake up! Are you okay?" I exclaimed. His eyes fluttered open and he gazed at me. "Melody? Is that you? You have to get out of here. Obsidian and Scarlett are…" Jim mumbled. "Now don't leave." A voice in the shadows called out. Suddenly a beam of light focused on that person. Obsidian. "The fun has just begun!" Obsidian shot me a sadistic smile. He was dressed like he was going to perform. He had on a black top hat with a white ribbon topped off with a deep violet rose. He had on a black pin striped vest with a purple dress shirt. He had black trousers that matched his vest perfectly. Obsidian also had a cane. The cane had a yellow circular ball at the top and then it was a purple stick. (A/N Should I draw this picture? If you want me to than leave a review saying you want me to.) Did I mention Lucas and Obsidian were twins? I was one of the few people who could tell them apart. Even though, they were extremely identical. My heart broke at the sight of him. "Lucas." I whispered without thinking.
Obsidian's P.O.V
"Lucas." I stared at Melody in bewilderment. I had blamed Melody for the death because it was her fault, but I knew she cared for him very much. My face quickly hardened. "Wrong again. You seem to be making a lot of mistakes lately." I hissed at her. Pressing a hidden button on my cane it transformed into a machete once again. I crossed the room to where Melody was. She scrambled back to where the weapons were kept. She blindly fumbled with the first weapon that reached her hand. She pulled out a hook that was about 4 feet long. The hooks had a cushion near the bottom where you could hold it. The hilts were sharpened into daggers. Hook swords. I wasn't sure if Melody was any good at them, but it didn't look like it mattered she good still hurt me with it. I took my stance and charged towards her. It's been a while since I fought anyone with a machete. Over the years of hiding I hardly practiced anymore. When I was a meter away from Melody she stopped my sword with her hook and kicked me in the gut. The motion sent me spiraling backwards. I coughed out blood. Wiping my chin, I slowly stood again. The minute I got my bearings back Melody was already so close to me. She was about to skewer me with her sword when I ducked and knocked her feet out from under her. She landed face down on the floor. I took the opening and raised my machete to stab her. However, before my machete reached her she rolled away. I cursed and stumbled after her. When I was near her she faded. I gasped shocked. "How did you…" I stopped mid sentence and barely dodged the sneak attack. Suddenly it all clicked. Melody had one of Scarlett's amulets. The amulet gave the owner little power to use. Different amulets had different powers. But there was something Melody didn't know; I had one of Scarlett's amulets too. There might not be much power left, but there was some. Activating it, I began to multiple. Scarlett had given it to me so we could finish the machine faster. All of my clones charged at Melody. By the time my amulet died, Melody was covered with cuts and bruises. The cuts weren't deep, but would certainty hurt. Melody coughed up some blood. I smirked. "Tired already?" I taunted. Her head snapped upwards. Her eyes seemed to change colours. It flickered from greenish blue to red. "I'm just getting started." Melody's voice was different, more demanding. This wasn't Melody anymore. "W-Who are you? You're not Melody!" I stuttered. She smiled, "No, I'm not."
The Thing That Now Is Melody's P.O.V (A/N that sounds weird.)
I giggled at his reaction. Let me explain.
FLASHBACK (THREE YEARS AGO)
"Scarlett! Let's play magic!" Melody giggled. Scarlett cheered and they went into Melody's room. Scarlett was just learning magic and had a hard time controlling it. She accidently did something that caused a violent spirit to enter Melody's body. "I want it out. I want it out!" Melody cried. Scarlett frowned. "If I take it out, it'll wake the spirit and it'll tear you apart." Scarlett mumbled. Melody cried louder. I was that spirit. At first I didn't like Melody. She was whiny and always crying. But soon after watching her grow and become more synced with me I became Melody. Sometimes to protect her I would take over and let Melody rest.
Right now I had taken over her body to keep her safe. "I am the spirit of conflict. I have been living in Melody's body for three years. I will protect her even if it means killing you." I smiled sweetly. I appeared before him and sliced him with the hilt of the hook sword. He gasped. I was about to strike him again, but he ducked and rolled away. "Tsk. Not much of a fighter are you." I teased. I noticed I was awfully near the man that Melody loves. He stared at me in shock. Was he disgusted by the violent side of Melody? I returned my gaze to Obsidian. He yanked a black sheet off of a hulk of metal. It had many glowing buttons that entranced me. "It's time to destroy your heart!" He yelled. I pointed to my heart. "Wrong heart." It all clicked. Obsidian pointed the machine at Jim. Soon the violent spirit left leaving Melody.
Normal P.O.V
It felt like it was happening in slow motion. All dramatic scenes do that. Jim's eyes locked on the machine that was pointed at him. Obsidian was laughing like a madman and Scarlett was trying to stop him. A beam shot out of the machine spiralling towards Jim. Jim shut his eyes waiting for the impact. "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"
Blood splattered everywhere. Jim's eyes widened in shock. He watched as the trembling figure in front of him collapsed. Catching the person, Jim stared in horror. She had token the blow for him. He was supposed to be dead. But she had changed his fate by sacrificing her own life. Tears tumbled down Jim's cheek. His spirit died as the woman in his arms died too.
"MELODY!"
Scarlett's P.O.V
I looked at her best friend. I had never intended for this to happen. It just got out of hands. While Obsidian was finishing the machine I had gone to talk to Zero. He had explained that he was wrong to kiss Melody and use me like that. He told me that he wished both of us a happy life. I asked him where he was going. All he said was, "To find my happy ever after." And with that he left. I was so wrong to accuse Melody like that and think death was the only answer. Even Obsidian looked guilty. I guess he started out wanting to kill her and then it turned to wanting her to feel the pain of losing someone close and dear to you. I bet he regrets it. He knows what it feels like. And now Obsidian and I have put Jim through the same pain. I rushed to Melody's side. "Melody! I'm so sorry that this happened. It's my entire fault!" I cried. I tried healing her put the power I put inside the machine blocked it out. I phoned the police. Soon I could hear sirens in the distance.
Soon we arrived to the hospital. Nurses rushed Melody in. Doctors tumbled in after. Jim, Obsidian and I were stuck in the waiting room. While we were waiting a cop came by to interrogate us. Obsidian and I confessed and told him everything. Soon King Eric and Queen Ariel bursted into the hospital. People started bowing but King Eric waved them off. "WHERE"S MY DAUGHTER?!" He boomed. Unfortunately, the King and Queen were forced to wait in the waiting room. "Stupid hospital. I'm the King! I should be able to see my daughter." King Eric mumbled. Ariel patted him on the back. "It's probably because you would have distracted them." Ariel reasoned calmly. It might look like you was calm but I could see the tears and how tense she was. While we were waiting we explained to the king what had happened. He told us we were off the hook if his daughter lived. Soon the doctor came out. We all swarmed around him. "IS SHE OKAY?!" King Eric exclaimed. We all looked at the doctor. "She…"
End of chapter! Sorry again about how long this took! So to make it up to you I made it super long. This is the longest chapter I've ever done. Also I'll be away on the 16th-20th. I'll also be out on the 21st. So this chapter is to make up for it. Please review and recommend!
