Okay so I finally got my fourth chapter done, took me forever. I've been doing a lot of stuff lately so sorry. I haven't been getting many reviews and I wish it was a little more but thats fine. If you can review my story I would be very happy.
Thanks to Girlslikeeboys though for reviewing, you helped me catch some of my mistakes and I really appreciate it. So Thank you :D
All three of us were floating above multiple connected buildings. I took out the map that the old man gave us and I looked at it. I examined the buildings and looked at the map. This was definitely the right place. I looked at Salem and Spyros and nodded. We flew down onto the roof of the building that the old man put the X on. I hopped off my broom and Salem made his jack-o-lantern poof away. I looked at Spyros and said.
"Okay Spyros I need you to turn invisible and fly through the building, basically your going to scout the building for people, keep flying down until you get to the basement level search the underground level as thoroughly as you can and then fly back up. Remember to stay invisible and don't cause any trouble, be serious and don't let anyone see you."
"Okay I got it," said Spyros. He turned invisible and then flew through the roof of the building. I looked at Salem and took a deep breath.
"I don't like how quiet it is, if this place was a base or a headquarters or something you would think you could hear at least some movement in the building," said Salem.
"Yeah you're right, it is a bit odd."
We sat there and waited for Spyros for about five minutes, then he popped out of the roof in front of us.
"There's fifteen guys all dressed in suites, in the underground level. They were all talking about waiting for two unusually dressed people. I think they were talking about you two. Plus there is another old guy sitting at a desk in a room behind a door hidden by a bookcase. He is with a younger looking guy. All of them have guns."
"So they knew we were coming, I guess word got around that we were looking for him," said Salem.
"Okay so now what do we do?" I said.
"I say we toy with them a little." said Salem
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Spyros can you possess people or objects?" Salem asked.
"Yeah, possessing people is kinda tricky but I can posses objects easily." Spyros said.
"Okay what I want you to do Spyros is go back down there and possess one of the guys guns, then I want you to have some fun and shoot like crazy, scare them so bad they will piss their pants. Make them all run."
"This is gonna be fun." Spyros said giggling. He then flew back into the building.
"Lets go hover above the door way and wait for them to come out, we will let them run and once they are all out of the building we will go in and meet Nico with a smile."
I hopped on my broom and Salem got on one of his jack-o-lanterns. We flew down to the main entrance and hovered above the door way. We waited for about a minute and we heard multiple gunshots. Men started yelling in fear and we heard people running around in panic. I couldn't help but giggle a little bit. Then the door bursted open from under us and a bunch of men ran out running as fast as they could. They didn't even bother to look back, they all just sprinted out and ran. I laughed and we flew into the building. I hopped off my broom and looked around. There were bullet holes in the wall and a ton of decorations were broken and on the floor. Before us was a floating machine gun with smoke coming out of the tip. Spyros flew out of the gun and the gun fell to the floor with a clack. Spyros started laughing hysterically and he flipped upside down holding his stomach. I smiled and looked at Salem, he had a straight face and was staring at Spyros. Salem probably hates it when Spyros laughs.
"Okay Spyros show us to the secret room," I said.
He lead us to a stair case that went down to basement. We got to the basement and saw a pool table, a bar, and some chairs. The bookcase was straight ahead, across from the pool table. We walked around the pool table and saw three dead bodies, with a puddle of blood under them. I felt the heat in my face completely fall down to my abdomen and my stomach did a flip. My face was cold and I looked away from the dead bodies.
"It wasn't me, they started to shoot around like maniacs and they killed each other," said Spyros.
We walked around the dead bodies and to the book case. Spyros stuck his head through the book case and then pulled it back out.
"The two guys are still in there."
Salem tried to move the book case but it wouldn't budge. He tried to push harder but it still didn't move and he eventually gave up.
"Screw this," he mumbled. He held out his hand and made a small jack-o-lantern appear in his hand.
"Step back." I took a few paces back and he threw the jack-o-lantern at the book case. The glowing pumpkin all of a sudden exploded and blew the bookcase in. It left a huge hole in the wall. Once the dust settled and we could see into the room we looked at the two men, one was very old and the other was an older man. The old guy was the one that we met earlier, he was the one that told us to come here.
"What, You?" I said. He laughed after I said this.
"Yes, I am Nico Bianchi, and this is my son Dino." he said as he pointed to the young man next to him. He stood up from his chair and said.
"How nice of you to join us."
"Enough talk, we're here to take your soul, if you wanna do this the painful way so be it, if you wanna do this the easy way and get it done and over with that's fine too. So take your pick cause I'm not in the mood for talking." said Salem.
Nico laughed. "Feisty little kids aren't you?"
"Okay the hard way it is." said Salem. Salem made a jack-o-lantern appear in his hands. He tossed it at Nico and his son. As it was flying towards them Dino grabbed Nico and all of a sudden he sprang past us, out the hole in the wall and up the stair case all within a few seconds.
"Damn, hes fast, Spyros follow them!" I said. Spyros flew threw the wall. I hopped on my broom and flew out room, with Salem right behind me. We flew outside and we looked around for a second. I saw Spyros flying up to the roof of the building. We flew upward and we saw them standing side by side on the roof with Spyros on the other side of the roof staring at them. We flew next to Spyros and we landed beside him. Spyros started giggling and then he started laughing very loudly.
"This is gonna get interesting," said Spyros, his laughing slowly fading away.
"So, whats the plan?" I asked
"Don't die," said Salem as he made two jack-o-lanterns appear in each hand. He threw them both at Nico and Dino. Dino grabbed Nico and he sprang into the air with him. The jack-o-lanterns exploded under their feet as they flew into the air. They hovered in the air, Dino holding Nico from under his arms. Dino then spun around really fast and then flung Nico at us. He was holding up a fist like he was going to punch one of us. We all jumped out of the way quickly and flew into the air. Nico punched the roof of the building. As he punched it the roof crumbled and exploded sending pieces of rubble all into the air. A giant hole formed where he fist was. He then stood up and stared at us.
"He has super strength somehow," Salem said.
"Thanks captain obvious," I said sarcastically.
I heard a woosh sound and the next thing I knew I saw Dino right in front of me. He spun in the air and kicked me right in the stomach. I flew back about fifty-yards clinging to my broom. I swung myself back on my broom. I coughed a few times from having the wind knocked out of me. I looked up and Salem was flying at Dino throwing his explosive jack-o-lanterns at him. Dino was dodging them with twists and turns in the air, he was really fast. I looked down at Nico, who was punching and kicking multiple rocks that were flying around him. Spyros must have been possessing them. I looked back at Dino and he was flying towards me with his twists and twirls dodging Salem's explosives. I held my arms out in front of me.
"Nuh-uh not again!" I yelled. Dino got close to me and spun around to kick me again. Just before his kick landed on my face vines came out of my sleeves and wrapped around his leg stopping his kick in mid-air. The vines gripped around his leg tightly and I spun around and flung him below me.
He slammed into a bridge that was over a canal and he splashed into the canal. Salem flew up next to me and mumbled.
"Nice."
Dino then flew out of the water holding a piece of rubble. He spun around and flung it at us. We both spun and dodged it and by the time we turned back around to see where he was he was right in Salem's face. Dino landed a hard punch right in his face, which sent him flying back and slamming into a tower. I sent vines out of my sleeves at him and he flew upward dodging them. He was spinning and dodging them with rolls and twirls. He was too fast for me. I followed him trying to catch him. All of a sudden a boulder flew right by my face just missing it. I looked from where it came from and saw Nico, throwing another boulder at me. I rolled and dodged the boulder he threw at me. I suddenly felt something slam into my back Dino tackled me from behind and I flew off of my broom. I was falling down and I looked up and saw my broom falling above me. I sent vines out of my sleeve and caught my broom. I brought the vines in my sleeves with my broom and I put the broom under my thighs. I stopped in mid-air a few feet right before I hit the ground.
"Whew.. that was close," I mumbled. I looked up and saw multiple grapefruit sized rocks chasing after Dino. Spyros was possessing the rocks and using them as weapons. Dino was dodging only a few of the rocks. He was fast, but not fast enough to dodge multiple things at once. I flew upward towards Spyros and Dino. As I flew higher in the air I saw Salem throwing his explosives at Nico. Nico running and jumping dodging the explosives. The blasts blowing holes in the roof of the buildings. I decided to help Spyros get Dino. I flew after them and I as I got closer I sent my vines out from my sleeves at Dino. He was too preoccupied dodging Spyros's rocks he didn't even see my vines coming. My vines wrapped around his body and squeezed him tightly. He stopped moving and tried to struggle out of the grip of the vines.
"Its no use, you won't be able to break through the vines." I said. The rocks that Spyros was possessing fell, and many little white glowing orbs flew out of the rocks and combined to form Spyros. He was smiling, and he said.
"Gotcha."
"Spyros what should we do with him? Just kill him?"
"I don't know, should we help Salem?"
I looked down to where Salem was, Nico was throwing giant pieces of rubble at him he was flying around dodging the pieces. Salem threw his explosives at him and Nico dodged them by jumping from one building to the next. There were multiple holes from explosions in many different buildings.
"Spyros you go help him out I'll take care of this one real quick." I said. Spyros nodded and flew towards Salem. I flew downward bringing Dino with me, still wrapped in the vines. I flew down to a canal and hovered above it. I held out my arms and brought them upward, just as I brought them up a huge maple tree sprang out of the canal. It grew to about thirty feet tall. I flew up to the trunk of the tree and I pressed Dino against the tree with my vines. The vines wrapped around the trunk of the tree multiple times tying him tightly to the trunk. They then formed a knot securing him to the tree. Dino hung there with his back against the tree trunk tied tightly to the tree.
"I'll be back for you later." I mumbled and I flew away toward Salem and Spyros to help.
Salem and Spyros were following Nico by air, Nico seemed to be running away down small alleys in between buildings. All I could see was Salem and Spyros flying just above the buildings, and the occasional explosion from one of Salem's jack-o-lanterns. I flew toward them as fast as I could. They were heading right toward me. I flew downward and into on of the alley ways. I could hear somebody running around the alleys, somewhere around me. I looked ahead and there was an intersection. I listened and I could hear the foot steps approaching the intersection. As I heard him get real close I sent vines out into the intersection ahead of me, suddenly Nico ran right into them and I started to wrap my vines around him quickly. Then I saw a glowing jack-o-lantern fly down and smack Nico right in the face, it exploded upon impact and his whole body was engulfed in a blast of flames. The blast receded and as the smoke cleared I flew toward him. He laid there with my dead burnt vines shriveled up. His whole body was burnt black as if covered in soot. Salem and Spyros flew down to me and looked at Nico.
"Is he dead?" Spyros asked.
I hopped off my broom and placed two fingers on his hot neck to feel for a pulse.
"He's dead." I mumbled. I placed both of my hands on his chest and took a deep breath in. I pushed down on his chest hard as I exhaled. His mouth opened wide and a white glowing orb floated out of his mouth slowly.
"Is that his soul?" asked Spyros.
I nodded and grabbed the soul. I took off my hat and put the soul into my hat. I placed my hat back on my head and looked at them.
"So what do we do with his son? Hes tied up to a tree we can't just leave him?" I asked.
"We came here for Nico, not his son," said Salem.
"What if he tells people about us. We can't have everyone in the world know about us," I said.
"True, but who would believe him?" Salem said.
"I guess your right, but we should kill him just to be safe."
We flew to the tree that I made out of the canal and looked at Dino. Blood was dripping out of his mouth and down his body, his head was flopped down and his body was limp.
"He killed himself," said Salem
"How?" asked Spyros
"He must have bit his tongue," I said with a quiver, looking away from his body.
"Alicia get rid of this, its too mysterious looking," said Salem.
I clapped my hands together and the tree receded into the canal along with Dino's body.
"At least he got a burial.," said Spyros.
I looked around the city and multiple lights were on inside the buildings but nobody was outside. Everyone must have thought Venice was getting bombed or something so nobody went outside. You could hear shouting of men in the distance along with motors running from vehicles.
"Lets get out of here, we caused a lot of damage." I said. Salem nodded and we flew to a building that wasn't damaged. Salem hopped of his jack-o-lantern and took a deep breath. He made a small orange orb and formed the giant jack-o-lantern in the size of a telephone booth. He took out a knife and engraved into it "Alicia's Graveyard."
"Okay lets go," said Salem.
We all walked forward and touched the glowing orb inside the jack-o-lantern at the same time. A glowing orange coat covered my whole body and with a crack, all three of us were in my graveyard. I groaned in relief and walked over to the coffin. I pushed the lid over and stepped into it. I walked down, with Salem behind me. I walked into my one-roomed home and took my hat off, I looked into the hat and saw Nico's soul in it. I walked over to my cooking area and opened a cupboard. I took out a jar, unscrewed the lid and placed the soul in the jar. I twisted the lid back on and rubbed my eyes. I turned around and saw Salem collapse on my bed. Spyros's head appeared out of the ceiling and he looked at me.
"I'm going into town to have some more fun, see ya!" he said and his head receded back into the ceiling.
I walked over to my bed and hung my hat on the nail in the wall over my bed. I then fell on my bed next to Salem. I immediately felt my eyes get heavy and I felt myself falling to sleep.
There ya go :P Please review. Thanks :)
