blood and gore and may not be suitable for all readers. Please be aware of this, and if such things upsets you; do not read any further.
Crimson Flame
Director's Cut, Chapter 29
Fire and hatred burned within the normally calm nature fairies eyes as she gazed upon the elder witch, the likes Faragonda has never seen before. Without another word Flora extended her palms towards the elder witch, prompting dozen more vines to erupt from the floorboards. Suspending the head mistress in the air.
"Now, this will be no fun without an audience." The ancient vampire continued to mock.
Smirking some, Bloom fired off a fireball at the large desk sending it exploding out the window. Surely getting the attention of the combatants down below as glass and the burnt debris from the desk came crashing down. With the window and other obstacles out of the way Flora manipulated the vines to suspend the head mistress at the window so all below could see. Many of the forces of light screamed out in terror at the sight.
"You should feel honored Faragonda." The nature fairy commented as she looked below at the crowds of people whom have stopped fight to watch what was about to happen. "Your death will make the rise of the Sanguine Coven."
"The Sanguine Coven was destroyed long ago." The elder witch spat defiantly.
"Actually, Armex and Atilla failed to wipe out all of the council members." Flora smiled, playing with her necklace. "You see, there are still some of us left."
Flora grinned darkly as she saw the realization wash over Faragonda's face at what the nature fairy was implying.
"Yes, I am an ancient." The nature fairy smiled darkly. "First ever vampire, but I will not bore you with a history lesson, despite there being numerous errors in your history books."
Before Faragonda could say anything else a vine wrapped around the old witches neck and constricted just tight enough to keep her from being able to speak but still allowed her to breath.
"Now for the real fun." Flora grinned, she had been looking forward to this for so long.
"Flora don't do it, I am sure we can work something out." Sky pleaded.
"Oh, your still here." The nature fairy said dismissively. "Bloom, why don't you go play with him."
At this the fire fairy grinned as she turned her attention to the blonde prince that was still suspended in the air by the vines. Slowly she stalked over towards him, watching as fear washed over his face.
"N-now Bloom, I know I was wrong in the way I acted." He began to mumble. Knowing that with Brandon dead, and the blood crystal destroyed there was no hope for them.
"Oh, now you want to apologize." The fire fairy mocked. "Don't worry, I am not going to kill you, yet."
Bloom smiled as she did the same thing Flora had done earlier except that the fire fairy stopped at the shoulder of the princes remaining arm. Looking up at him she grinned as she pushed her fingers through his flesh, slowly severing his left arm from his body, leaving the poor specialist literally disarmed, quickly using her flame to cauterize the wound so he wouldn't bleed out. As she did so, Sky screamed out in agony as waves of pain struck his body until his nerves couldn't handle it anymore and shut down completely.
"I have to admit Sky, you do scream better then Layla and Timmy did." Musa piped in as she watched Bloom continue to work.
"J-just kill me already." Sky pleaded.
"Now, where is the fun in that." The fire fairy taunted. "I want you to be alive and well so you can watch us destroy you precious kingdom of Eraklyon."
Bloom didn't wait for him to respond as she quickly set to work on his legs. Following the same procedure she did with his arm, eventually leaving the young man without any limbs and only the vines holding him up.
"Now one last thing." The fire fairy grinned as she forced his mouth open and grabbed hold of his tongue, giving it a hard yank, causing an eruption of blood to come spilling out.
"Nice touch." Flora smiled as she turned her attention back to the head mistress. "Now its your turn." She said darkly.
Though she was terrified out of her mind, Faragonda's pride refused to let it show as she just looked back at the ancient vampire. Awaiting what was to come. She didn't have to wait long as the vines that Flora was controlling began to tighten around her body. A large clump of thorny vines spiraled around each other before thrusting themselves into the old witches vaginal area.
Despite herself, Faragonda let out a scream of pain as the vines began to rip her insides apart, causing blood and small chunks of flesh to spill out onto the floor. Flora smiled darkly as she continued her torture, making sure not to kill the old woman too quickly. Moving smaller vines to began to dig under the headmistresses skin, just enough to lift it up off her muscle. As it did so, the small vines released an acidic liquid that began to severely chemically burn the sensitive tissue under the skin, earning more screams of pain.
"Ah, such a lovely sound." Flora sang darkly. "But we are just getting started."
With a flick of her wrist, Flora sent more tiny vines towards the headmistresses body. Each of them digging into the elder witches flesh and slowly ripping small chunks of her skin off. Exposing her muscles just underneath. Faragonda began to thrash violently as the vines continued to literally skin her alive. Letting out high pitched screams of agony. The vines continued to pump more of its acidic liquid over the exposed flesh, mostly to keep her nerve endings from going into shock and shutting down. Flora wanted her to feel every agonizing second.
Moving on, the ancient vampire began to instruct the vines that were holding the headmistresses wrist to slowly start to cut into them. The large thorns acting as saw teeth as they began to cut into the flesh. One by one, each hand and foot was sawed off. Leaving nothing but stumps where they used to be. Once again, Flora manipulated the vines to act as a make shift tourniquet to ensure the elder witch would no die from blood loss.
The vines continued their routine of ripping off more skin and showering the sensitive flesh underneath with its acid. After nearly an hour only her head still had skin on it. The elder witch barely able to scream anymore from the amount of pain she was going through.
"Now to finish this."
With that, Flora manipulated the vines to hoist the skinned body of Faragonda outside the window, hanging it over the remaining forces of Light. Most of which had already passed out from the sight or had violently vomited. With a quick movement of her hands, the nature fairy caused all the vines that were still within the body to erupt out. Causing the body to explode in a shower of blood and body parts over the students below.
Slowly, one by one each of the witches bowed before Flora. Those who were with the forces of Light could scarcely believe that their very own nature fairy was capable of doing such things and above all, that she was really a vampire the entire time. The very thing Faragonda was bolstering them to fight against. Eventually, even they felt compelled to boy before the ancient vampire, if only for a chance to be allowed to live.
"Enjoy the show?" Flora asked with a grin as the Trix landed next to her.
"Very enjoyable." Icy stated with a grin, exposing her fangs as she moved over to where Bloom stood, still admiring her handy work on Sky, whom was just barely alive.
"So what now?" Darcy asked, looking to Flora.
"Now." Flora paused, a dark grin growing on her face. "The Age of the Vampire begins."
Additional Authors Notes: The initial part of Faragonda's torture was sort of borrowed from Silent Hill, the movie. If you haven't seen it, I won't give any spoilers. I figured it would be a good start. I do hope that everyone enjoyed this final installment, and eventually I will try and start Memoirs of a Crimson Rose.
