Sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Enjoy! xx
Michaels POV
I could feel the acid running through my veins, biting into tissue and destroying me from the inside. It's worth it, to stand this pain to see her one more time, even though I probably won't make it. But I owe her that at least, to give her a life to live. Or what's left of it when we find her. I couldn't imagine her as one of the draug, I couldn't. I know Eve, and she would rather die than become one of those slimy things.
We were in the car, Shane driving through the deserted streets, probably due to the fact that its night time. Amelie surprisingly has stayed. I couldn't work out a reason why she would stay, backup? But I had already called my own, and hopefully we can distract him for a while.
"Turn left" I groaned, I could feel the direction which Eve was in, and every second, I would get closer, it was like a rubber band, I was feeling the pressure but also the excitement as I came closer to the destination. Shane swerved left, knocking something over. I didn't care; I was too immersed in the battle inside of me.
We came towards a dead end. A brick wall stood in solitude in front of us, and the only thing there ,was a porthole on the ground.
Shane got out of the car, and then he opened my door. He started to say something, but I shoved past him, the need to get to that porthole too great. Dragging myself and half running to the entrance, I could feel my muscles spasm. Now in half a crouch, I called upon my strength and lifted the thing, throwing it somewhere behind me. I could hear the sounds of guns loading, and Amelie was beside me as I jumped down.
"Wait! Lemme get my guns Michael, don't forget your own." Shane shouted from above. I knew we couldn't come unprepared. I could feel that the journey is nearly over... just a few yards more. Half an hour tops with Shane. I couldn't exactly place where she was, only how far away. Whilst waiting for Shane, Amelie looked around, wrinkling her nose at the sewage and the mess around us. Using this time, I texted captain obvious my predictions. They better show up.
Just as I was about to snap at Shane or Amelie, Shane jumped down, armed with guns and canisters. He smiled gleefully at me and handed me a round object. A canister of silver nitrate. This can damage us, just as much as it can damage the draug. I merely nodded and took it, leading the way down the sewer.
A few minutes later, I started to lean against the wall, dragging myself across, since we were coming closer, not only Eves blood was guiding me more and more steadily, the draug seemed to be acknowledging the presence of their master.
"I keep expecting the ninja turtles to show up-What the hell man?!" Shane shouted behind me. I was suddenly crouched in front of what seemed to be a giant steel wall. In the sewers. Because that's normal. Amelie walked up to the wall and placed her tiny hand just below what would seem to be the doorframe. It opened immediately.
I didn't question it, but the two of then stepped through, leaving me to gather myself and witness Amelie chopping a draug's head off. Not the best thing I ever saw. While they fought with two of the slimy things, I dashed towards another steel door, this time with a door knob. I knew it was locked, but I still had to try. Slamming whatever strength I had into the thing, I tried to open it. A muffled cry came from inside.
"Eve?!EVE!" I shouted, attracting everyone else's attention. I couldn't hear much but a muffled cry and the stomping of boots. That's Eve alright. Trying to wedge the door open again, I turned around to look for something. Then my eyes came across a shadow. A solidifying shadow.
"You think I would be stupid enough not to have that reinforced?" Magnus came closer. He was as cold as I remembered. I saw him glance at Amelie and grin. This is what he wanted wasn't it?
As he came closer to Amelie, who was busily defending herself, I jumped on him. Or through him? I didn't quite go through him as he sent me flying by kicking me in the stomach. Gonna feel that in the morning.
"Idiot boy. Having taken the blood makes you weak. And you are no match for a master draug." He didn't stop from coming at Amelie and only stopped at the sound of a dozen or so heartbeats. I couldn't focus enough to count each one. The locals, led by captain obvious ran into the room, and several down into the corridors that buried themselves deeper into Morganville.
Amelie smiled a crude smile at him, and began to swipe and block, a blur of movement and hisses followed. Shane has moved on to the corridors where more screams followed, along with gunshots and the sound of metal clashing.
I was so out of it I didn't notice that I had Magnus's slime all over me. Quickly taking some fabric from my jeans I wiped it off before it could do more damage. Looking over at the fight between Amelie and Magnus, I had a great idea.
Sneaking up behind him, I waited for him to position himself right on front of me. Amelie dug into his chest with her knife, and he backed up for a second. That was enough for me. Taking the canister and kicking him in the back of the knees, I shoved the canister into his mouth, not letting him go, my finger on the release.
"Open the door. Then I will consider not releasing all those precious silver flakes into your system. It may not kill you, but it will hurt you." I hissed into his ears, fighting nausea and looking at a delightful Amelie. He just looked us over and gave me a key. Considering my options, I removed my finger from the canister, releasing the power and leaving Magnus to Amelie. I got a bit of the silver on myself, but nothing compared to the things inside of may not kill him, but she can always have a talk with him.
I limped towards the door, and placed the key in place. The door opened swiftly, revealing Eve. Her knees were bleeding, her hair mussed and her eyes red from crying. There seemed to be sheen of sweat all over her face, and her eyes slightly glazed over. Still, my Eve. She let out a tiny squeak and ran over to me, burying her head in my chest. My t-shirt became instantly wet and the hands around my waist tightened, bringing us closer.
Getting Eve out of that cell and into the main room was a lot of dragging and carrying for both of us. Shane passed me, followed by Oliver who was carrying someone by their bloody neck. I guess the draug had him after all. Magnus was pinned on the floor by a silver stake, struggling. Amelie held it with her foot, her wounds bleeding and healing at the same time.
Just for a moment, we hugged each other close, taking in each other before our lips crushed together. It was a needy kiss, I could feel it in the way she clenched her jaw and brought us closer. I could smell her familiar scent, her vanilla taste sent me pangs of satisfaction, making me hungrier still. It didn't last, it never does.
"We have to go before Magnus gets out. His sprawl is mostly dead or injured. The humans have fled already." Amelie spoke. So they must have fled as I opened the door. But I couldn't escape, not this.
I sank to the ground, feeling weightless and happy. She is safe, that's all that matters. Surrounded by my thoughts and a few faces hovering above me, I felt the draug inside me venture for more blood, poisoning as they pleased. I could only catch a few words, words that didn't make sense or were too big for me to understand. I could feel something wet on my cheek, but that didn't stop me from being sucked into oblivion.
Magnus's POV
Staked to the floor. As they coo over the child that took me on. Doesn't the fool value himself? And doing this for a human...Amelie came back to twist the stake more. She should be the one staked here, since she broke her promise, broke her word to me as my sister.
It's all her fault, she didn't follow my wishes, didn't protect what was mine. Didn't give her a chance at all.
Dont you remember love? Amelies voice whispered. Does she regard me as such a monster? I sighed deeply and closed my eyes. Of course I do, I do remember...
Chandeliers were hung high and a group of people danced in pairs to the music. I didn't want to stay here, even as the party is in our honour. From Amelie.
Dragging Felicity out of the crowd, away from the noise. This is an important night after all. We stood on the balcony for a while, admiring the gardens and catching our breath from the dancing. Such a perfect night. She twirled her hair and adjusted her pretty blue dress.
"I want to show you something" I spoke to her, offering my hand and beckoning her forwards. She inclined with her head and took my arm. Following the steps down from the balcony to the gardens, I took her down a little path. The cobblestones annoyed my feet but the moonlight made it easy to see.
"Is it far?" she asked shyly. Her fingers hovered over the roses as we travelled down, lightly touching the petals, playing with them. I shook my head in response, leading her to a small clearing of grass and flowers, and a small bench under a tree.I led us to the bench and sat her down. She simply took her shoes off and let the grass tickle her feet. I only raised my eyebrows in question.
"Why not?" she giggled. I held her hand for a little while, both of us looking at the stars together. We do this often but not here, not on a night like this.
"I brought you here to tell you something."I broke the silence, gaining her full intention as her dark eyes focused on mine.
"Felicity, you are different. You understand me as no-one has, and in return, I understand you. Whenever I think of you, I always wonder what life would be like without you. And I'm glad you are here. With me." I could see her blushing madly, and still holding her hand, I went down on one knee, and took my mother's ring from my pocket, presenting it to her. It reflected in her eyes, a little gasp came out of her.
"I love you more than anything else, and I want to be with you. Forever. Felicity...will you take my hand in marriage and join me on a new adventure?" I sheepishly waited for a response, dreading the worst. But she squeaked in agreement and crushed her lips on mine, sending me on the grass.
I opened my eyes to the present. How things were different back then... At least they are gone, leaving me with scattered bodies on the floor. Taking the stake out and hoisting myself upwards, I could only admire their stupidity.
They saved one, but have doomed themselves.
