The Queen Of Spirits
Again, music is optional. Really Dark Chapter
Harumi's POV-
I could feel the dark spirits seeping into my brain. It felt like a mix of someone drenching me in wet cold liquid and cold, spider-like fingers reaching into my head. I could hear the spiders as they crawled up my body and surrounded me.
The unpleasant sensation didn't let up, it only continued. By now, I couldn't see anything, or hear anything. There was only the dark abyss of what I was going to become.
Seliel's POV-
I didn't want to watch Harumi be taken over. As much as I pretended I didn't care, as much as I didn't know anything about her, she held a place in my heart. As much as the sight disturbed me, I couldn't look away.
This had never happened before. That never happened with me. What were the spirits thinking?
I know that I should not have opened the gate. Letting Morro out was a mistake. He promised me riches, power and revenge, and I had fallen right into his trap. I had become his Predestine, in order get one thing: Revenge
Well, he was right. I was going to get revenge.
Just not on who he expected.
I pulled myself to my feet. I realized I was limping all to late.
Apparently, Morro is a great multitasker, because he was able to attack me and keep possessing Harumi at the same time.
"Ghosts...ghosts..." I whispered to myself as Morro's horrifying figure loomed over me. "What was there weakness? What?"
I placed my hand up onto the
altar, reaching for something. My hand brushed against the table, a lock of hair, and a pool of liquid, and then what I was looking for. I pulled the knife towards me.
"Now... watch out Morro." I said shaking. "I-I have a knife.. and I'm not afraid to use it..."
Morro bent down to my height and grabbed the knife out of my hand.
"I'll be taking this." He said, disappearing.
He reformed next to a crippled Harumi.
I slowly backed away, pulling out my comlink. "S-Skylor. Nya. I-I need you here. Now. I'll send my position JUST COME!"
I hit send button just as I was knocked down by a wave of dark energy.
When I looked up. I saw Harumi, or what Morro has made of her. Her hair was darker, her amber eyes now a glowing green. Her clothes were tattered, and her body was crawling with spiders.
"Now, now, who have we here?" Said the figure before me. "If it isn't 'The Commander'. How quaint. Why I ever put my trust in you, I have no idea. Oh well."
It was then I noticed that Harumi was holding a knife.
"Now Harumi-" I said. "Calm down- let's talk. You want some tea? Some-"
In a flash Harumi was next to me, holding her knife to my throat.
"Don't say a word."
What was truly frightening was the lightheartedness in her voice. She sounded just as carefree and positive as she had when I met her. That's what scared me.
The building started to shake. I was tossed to one side of the room, Harumi to the other. It was only a matter of minutes before I saw the familiar red arms of Amber's Rage wrecking my rooftop.
Skylor and Nya slid down to the wrecked temple, armed with guns and swords.
"Harumi!" Nya shouted. "What's wring with her!"
I saw the panic in her face and the fear in her voice. "I-I released a spirit. It took over Harumi."
Skylor ran over to me and clasped her hands on my shoulders, shaking me violently. "What spirit, Commander? What"
"The spirit-"
Harumi got up and brushed off her shoulder. She walked over to where we were huddled with a smirk on her face.
"Guys..." Nya said.
Skylor wouldn't stop shaking me. "What spirit is it?"
Harumi continued to walk towards us.
"GUYS?!!" Nya said, clearly alarmed.
Skylor looked at her. "What is it?"
Nya turned to us.
"I recognize that spirit. I've fought them before. It's Morro."
I nodded.
Skylor looked at me, then Nya, then back at me.
"You mean the god of death Morro?"
Nya nodded. "I faced him once before, but that was along time ago. He wasn't this strong back then. I don't know what to do!!"
Harumi, without falter, kept walking towards us.
"The Spider's in the House" Harumi sang.
Skylor steppes forward. "Who are you?"
Harumi continued. "Sleep, Sleep."
I watched as she twirled the knife around her fingers.
"The spider bite the mouse."
Skylor armed her bow.
"Sleep, deep."
Nya drew her swords. "Here." She said, giving me one.
"Don't wake up or else"
Harumi was right in front of us.
"You'll find a spider in your mouth."
Skylor confronted Harumi. "Who are you? What did you do with Rumi?"
Harumi smiled crookedly and twirled her knife. "Rumi died. I'm Haru. And you're in deep, deep trouble."
