Hey guys long time no see… first off let me apologize for not writing in like forever. I had great dreams and such as to write over the summer, that did not happen. I was, for once, busy over the summer weird right? However I am back and I see that a lot of you liked the last chapter, good because I liked it to. Well I don't want to take up to much of your time so I will see you guys at the end of the chapter. As all ways review, I don't own anything except my own ideas, and yea.
(Sam's POV)
"Wh-who are you?" I asked trying to keep my voice from shaking.
"Oh I believe you already know the answer to that question, my pet" it replied in whispers.
The arm which slithered around my waste loosened ever so much, allow me to turn around and face my capture. The first thing my eyes saw was metal surrounding cold green eyes. My sight continued upwards to the top of his head where I could just see green flams, fashioned into a Mohawk, flickering in the darkening room.
Just then images raced through my head, so fast that I only saw fleeting glances of the images.
Two figures hovering over the school, one a robot another a teenage boy.
Terrible fighting and near misses.
A spear launching.
A piercing wail.
One fleeing another falling.
Danny covered in blood.
All the while a simple word, nay a name rang through loud and clear, 'Skulker', 'Skulker', 'Skulker!'.
"Skulker" I whispered
"Ah so you have heard of me, good to know how far my reputation stretches" he replied with a sickly grin.
"I-I won't tell you where Danny is, even if you kill me" I said taking a step back and closer to the window which faces the town.
"You see Samantha" he said walking by me while tracing a cold metal finger under my chin, "I'm not interested in hunting that halfa anymore"
I all but sighed in relief; Danny would no longer have to worry about him anymore. However that raised a question in my mind. If Skulker wasn't after Danny, then why is he here?
"If you are no longer hunting Danny, then why are you here?" I asked slowly building confidence with each word.
"You see, I'm hunting something new, something thought to be nothing more than a myth. And I need your help to capture it" he replied, with his back turned toward me facing the window. Almost as if he was a king and the city below was his kingdom.
"I would never help you" I said in a deep growl, "no creature should ever be locked in a cage!"
I should know the castle was my cage.
"I do believe you are wrong, Samantha. For the creature that I am hunting is no other than….. a mermaid" he said glancing towards me out of the corner of his metal eye.
"Then you are sorely mistaken, for mermaids have never existed. They are nothing more than a myth; so with that I must implore you to leave, NOW!" I said in a defensive tone.
"No, I think you're the one who's wrong. I have seen a mermaid, I fact one is standing before me"
With that a huge cannon erupted from his arm and a powerful jet of water streamed out of it coming directly at me. I shuffled my feet as the jet of water rushed towards me, however I was too late.
The powerful jet slammed into my arm, knocking me off balance and into a crouching positon with my back facing the menace. I drew in a shaky breath, my arm slowly reversing to its original state. A fin sprouted out of my arm and areas surrounding it were riddled with black scales.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on my slowly shifting body. I willed the transformation to only take place in the area which I was hit.
"Just as I thought" Skulker said
He snatched my wrist and hauled my up in the air. He ran his cold fingers along my fin, feeling the scales and the taut membrane. Just then a sharp dagger shot out of his wrist and stabbed my fin.
I cried out as white hot pain coursed through my body, blood leaked from around the knife and down my arm proceeding to drip onto my pail face.
Skulker took the handle of the knife and twisted it, increasing the wound. Pain spread through my veins like liquid fire. The trickle became a steady stream, blood was now cascading off of my arm and soaking my face. A pool began to grow, increasing as the seconds ticked by.
He gripped the handle and ripped it out of my fin. I screamed at the top of my lungs, the pain was becoming unbearable. My magic rushed to save me as a bright purple glow illuminated from the wound. Blood, which was streaming down my arm, raced back into the cut as my advance healing powers forced the wound closed.
I hung in the air, limp. Breathing heavily as I fought off the darkness's comfortable embrace.
"Incredible, I heard stories about the merpeople's ability to heal wounds. But never before could I imagine that it was so strong. The scientist and doctors will be maiming each other for the chance to study you. Yes you will make me very rich and very powerful." He said with a devilish smirk.
I gathered as much blood and saliva that I could muster into my mouth. Slowly I raised my head in order to stare directly into the eyes of my enemy. Using what little returning strength I had, I spat the concoction directly into his face.
"YOU BITCH!" Skulker screamed.
With a mighty heave he threw across the room. Pain exploded from my side as I skidded to a stop. Ever so slowly I rose to my feet, arms wrapped around my side willing the pain to stop.
"You'll pay for that! You know I was just planning on keeping you in a nice little tank for all of Ghost Zone to marvel at. However you have force my hand; you'll be on display all right, but not in a tank. Your head shall be mounted on my wall and your scales used for my new armor."
With that he shifted and ran full speed at me. The only thing I could do was raise my hands to protect my face.
His body hit mine like a full speed sword fish. The sound of broken glass ringed thorough my ears, and the dull sensation of glass breaking my skin could be felt.
The next thing I knew we were falling.
And cliff hanger! Sorry if it's a little short, but I wanted to give you guys something and not keep you waiting and waiting. So anyways next chapter I promise you will find out what happens to Sam and Skulker and if Danny makes an appearance (he does). So anyways tell me what you guys think will happen in the next chapter, and if Skulker is going to DIE (again). As always review and all that jazz. I would like to thank last chapter reviewer: jackrs15 (Ps your review got me up off my butt and writing again, love you). So until next time…..
STAY HOT
