A Devil's Curse
Chapter3
....Blood splattered upon the wall everywhere. Blood was everywhere on Tri-Edge but.........the blood was not her own. They looked to find a boy laying lifeless on the ground.
"Tri-Edge! What have you done!?" Alex ran up to her but stopped dead in her tracks.
Tri-Edge put the gun to her head and pulled the trigger. She pulled the trigger-but nothing. No more bullets? No there were bullets, "They won't let me die-until my job is done."
"It...it didn't go off." Alex ran up to Tri-Edge, but Tri-Edge pushed past Alex and the others and headed downstairs.
"I'm going after her." With that said, Tri-Gun ran out of the room and down the stairs after her sister.
They ran over to the boy laying on the blood covered floor, "Should we move him?"
Suddenly the boy began to move. He stood up and looked at them all. All had a shocked look on their face, all but Kyle that is, "What are you doing here?"
The once lifeless boy looked into Kyle's dark, harsh eyes and smiled, "I came to drop of a letter to Tri-Edge. As you can tell she didn't like the letter." He looked down at his chest were a large hole with blood was running down it, was located.
"You bastard! What was in that letter!?" Kyle stepped closer and closed his hands around the boy's neck, "You can try and kill me Kyle, but I don't die easily."
He had an evil grin upon his face that made Kyle flinch and losen his grip on the boy's neck. The boy took the chance of Kyle losening his grip to get away and punch Kyle so hard in the stomach that he fell backwards. The boy pulled out a gun and held it to Kyle's head. Alex suddenly turned into Ice and charged at the boy ready to pounce, but the boy quickly ducked and got right up in Kyle's face with the gun still pointed at the side of his head.
The boy leaned down and wispered in his ear, "Kyle, are you afraid of death?"
He was about to pull the trigger but he felt a gun against his head. Someone whispered in his ear, "Are you afraid of death, Rimi?"
The boy immediatly knew who it was. "Tri-Edge...so you came back to save your pathetic friend?"
Kyle glared at him, but didn't dare say a word, for he knew the gun was still pointed at his head.
"Get off him now!" Rimi slowly got up and turned to face a very pissed off Tri-Edge, "Drop the gun!"
Rimi did as he was told and dropped the gun by his side. Ice growled and jumped at Rimi's hand, grabbing it, blood went everywhere.
Ice let go of the boy's hand, for an awful taste filled her mouth. Ice began to cough, as her on blood began to run out from her mouth and nose. She fell limp and turned back into her human form, Alex.
"Alex!" Kyle yelled scrambling to get up. He ran over to the unconcious Alex, "What did you do to her!?" Kyle got up and faced Rimi with hate filled eyes, "You should know better not to hurt any of my friends!!!" Kyle pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger so quickly, Rimi didn't have time to dodge it. He fell to the floor lifeless once again.
"Is..is h-he dead?" Yuki asked.
Kyle looked at Yuki and Riku, who were both hiding behind Tri-Gun at the door way. He laughed a little at how much of a coward they could both be. "Yeah he's dead, for sure this time." Kyle looked at the hole in Rimi's head, "Yeah, dead for sure." He immediatly turned, leaned down, and picked up a limp Alex. He looked down at Alex's face, where blood was stil running out her mouth and nose. How could he do this? It's...it's not right. Not right at all, Kyle thought to himself, "Come on we have to hurry!" Kyle ran down stairs and gently layed Alex on the couch. Kyle turned to see Spike sitting in the same chair he had been sitting in before all this had happened. Acctually he didn't even remember Spike coming up the stairs to see what had happened. "Why didn't you come help us?" Kyle said glaring at Spike.
Spike didn't answer Kyle's question, he just sat there staring at Alex, "Was she poisoned by Rimi's blood?"
Spike got up and walked over to her. He kneeled down in front of her and put his hand over her chest. A dull black light surronded Spike's hand as Alex's blood began to disappear and she began to wake.
"How did you do that!? Your hand was-was glowing!" Spike turned around to see Riku right up in his face and Yuki right beside her.
Tri-Edge walked over to Spike, with a bowl of water and a bath cloth. She kneeled beside him and wet the cloth as she placed it on Alex's forehead.
"Were am I?" Alex questioned as her blurred vision started to become clear, "Where's that bastard Rimi?"
"Kyle killed him." Tri-Edge answered, "Don't worry about it, just get some rest, you'll be okay now." Tri-Edge began to sing softly to Alex, as she drifted off into a light sleep. Tri-Edge's voice was the only thing that was soft and made you feel at peace. The rest of her was hard and obdurate. Tri-Edge stood up and turned to Yuki, "Yuki I need you to make my gun more powerful. I want you to fill the bullets with this." Tri-Edge pulled out a crystal bottle full of some kind of white liquid, "Can you do that?"
"Uh...um..yeah, but it may take awhile."
Tri-Edge looked at Kyle who was still watching over Alex. She turned back to Yuki, "I also need you to make my sword even stronger. I need you to ingrave this into the blade of the sword, but only ingrave it on the right side." Tri-Edge gave Yuki her sword and a piece of paper, "I need you to have all this done in a week."
"A week!!!" Yuki looked at Tri-Edge shocked.
Tri-Edge turned to her sister and gave her a single nod. Tri-Gun looked down at the floor with what looked like disappointment, but understanding.
"Tri-Edge..." Tri-Edge turned to Kyle who was staring straight at her with serious eyes, "What did the letter Rimi give to you say?"
Tri-Edge flinched at the mention at the letter but then smiled slyly, "It's none of your business, so never mention the letter again." With that said Tri-Edge walked out the door and left the others with looks of curiousity.
Kyle turned back to Alex who was sweating in her sleep, "Spike, how exactly did you heal her?"
Spike looked to see her begin to shake in her sleep.
"No..no..." Alex said weakly in her sleep, "No..you can't. No! No! No, no, no!! Leave me alone!" Alex's voice rose as she moved violently in her sleep. She punched, kicked, and turned in her sleep so violently she almost fell of the couch, "No! Leave me alone!! Don't!!"
"What did you do to her Spike!?" Kyle pinned Alex down on the floor when she rolled off the couch, but she kicked him in the stomach. "Damn! What did you do Spike!?"
Spike helped pin her down again. Kyle held her legs and Spike held her arms in a desparate atempt to calm her down. "I healed her...with dark healing powers. It must of had a bad affect because of the kind of posion."
"You used dark healing powers!? You moron! You don't use dark healing powers on a half human! You only use it on devils!"
"Well, I didn't exactly know she wasn't a devil!!" Spike said defensively.
"Let me go! Leave me alone!" Alex screamed as cut's started to appear all over her body as if she was being cut in her dream.
"Alex!" Kyle yelled, shaking her furiously trying to wake her, "Alex! Please wake up!!" Tears began to fall from Kyle's cheeks as he hopelessly held Alex's body. He still held her when she started to punch and kick him. She bite him harsly causing blood to flow from his arm. "Alex, please wake up."
They all watched hoplessly as many cuts appeared on her body. After what seemed like hours she stopped kicking and punching, her body fell limp, but she slowly regained conciousness.
"Kyle?" Alex said with a weak voice.
He looked at her with tear filled eyes. "Your awake! Oh god, Alex I thought you wouldn't wake up!" Fresh tears began to fall down Kyle's cheeks. But they weren't tears of sorrow, but tears of joy.
Alex fell unconcious again, but this time with a smile upon her face. She had survived the world of hell.
"You must have won against those demons in the end. Didn't you?" Kyle whispered in her ear with a smile on his face.
"What just happened!?" Riku yelled running over to Alex.
"Don't worry about it Riku. If she is ok now. I think I may take my leave. If that's okay." Spike said wearily standing up, but not taking his eyes off of Kyle or Alex.
"Yeah, I think it would be best if you left for a while." Kyle picked up Alex and carried her upstairs.
"Wait what just happened!?" Yuki and Riku looked at each other with confused looks on their faces.
Tri-Edge stepped into the bright light of the sun. She began to walk down the alley toward the main street. As she rounded the corner she bumped into a little boy who fell backwards immediatly. Tri-Edge starred at him with cold harsh eyes. She walked around him and continued her walk. The streets smelled of fresh baked goods, but had an awful smell of cigerattes and car exahust too. She felt a pull on the back of her long leather coat. She turned to see the young boy she had ran into not to long ago.
"I'm sorry miss, but you dropped this. It fell out of your pocket when we bumped into each other." The boy pulled out a letter from the pocket of his gray jacket and handed it to her.
Tri-Edge knew exactly what it was and immediatly snatched it from the boy causing him to get a paper cut. Blood began to run down his finger and tears began to fall down his cheeks.
Tri-Edge stuffed the peice of paper in her pocket and started to walk off, but stopped when she heard the boy speak again, "Y-you didn't...h-have t-to be mean." The boy began to cry even harder.
Tri-Edge turned her head and stared at the crying child. Then it came flooding back to her. When she was a child she remembered hiding in her mothers closet as she watched her parents being slautered.
She walked up to the boy and pulled out a cloth and began to bandage his cut. The blonde haired boy stopped crying and looked at the heartless monster Tri-Edge. But maybe deep down she had a soft side, but that would have to be very deep down. "T-thank y-you miss." Tri-Edge stood up, turned, and walked away. The boy followed closley behind. Tri-Edge looked over her shoulder to see the young child clutching a teddy bear, and following closley behind her, "Why don't you go home kid?" Tri-Edge said harsly. "I-I don't have a home...." Tri-Edge stopped and looked at the boy who was looking at the ground. "What about parents?" "I don't have parents either...I live off the streets.." Tri-Edge turned toward the child and kneeled infront of him. "Come on you can come with me." With that said Tri-Edge turned around ready to walk away but held her hand out behind her for the child to hold. The boy smiled and ran foward grabbing Tri-Edge's hand, "What's your name kid?" "My names rei, what's your's?" "My names Tri-Edge." "Where we going Tri-Edge?" The boy said cheerfully.
Kyle carefully placed Alex on her bed. He stared at all the cuts that covered her body. The door slowly opened as Tri-Gun walked in, "Is she ok?" Kyle looked at Tri-Gun, "Yeah, she'll be fine now." Tri-Gun walked up to him, Kyle felt a caring hand on his shoulder. "Let's go down stairs Kyle." "No I'm gonna stay here....I need to make sure she's gonna be okay." "She'll be fine Kyle." Kyle turned around to face Tri-Gun. He wrapped his arms around her and didn't cry a single tear. "It'll be okay Kyle..."
Tri-Edge looked over the bridge at the beautiful sunset as Rei held her hand. The sunset ended and Tri-Edge looked over at the little boy. He looked back at her, "Where to now?" "Come on kid lets head home." Tri-Edge lead the kid home to the others. "Where we goin?" Rei asked Tri-Edge curiously. "We're going back to my place...." Rei smiled cheerfully at her, "Do you live by yourself?" "No kid, I don't...I live with my gang." Tri-Edg looked at the cheerful child. "You have a gang! That's so cool! What kinda things do you do?" "Calm down kid, it ain't like we're a gang that's running from the cops..." "Well then...what kind of people are in your gang" Tri-Edge looked annoyed, "Could you stop asking so many questions kid, i'm not in a good mood..." "Your never in a good mood...." Said a voice from behind. Tri-Edge turned around quickly to see...
