Book 1: Life
Chapter 16: PMC part 2
~Part 1: (#NP: “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown)~
Lucy had to bite her lip hard, the stench of blood was running through her nose and it made her lust for it. Lucy had to cough loudly to get it out of her and to resist sinking to temptation. Lucy though was in a middle of a blood bath, the walls and floor were stained with it.
Lucy: How did this happen!?
Bennett: I have no idea but my God; you’d think that some vampires were pissed.
Lucy looked up toward the elder vampire and nodded.
Lucy: I can tell…Bennett, I’m really getting a bad feeling from this.
Bennett: I know neonate.
Lucien walked into the room he held his nose.
Lucien: Holy fuck what the hell?!
Lucy: Brother…I dunno what happened.
Bennett: This isn’t good you two. I have a feeling that Alexander is up to something.
Lucy: I second that.
Lucien: Or his underlings.
The trio nodded and felt the room become colder and darker.
Lucy: You guys, I think we’re not alone.
Bennett: We’re not.
Lucien: Lucy-
Lucy was walking off, following the trail of what she was feeling. The more Lucy followed it, the more she started to feel weird. Of course there was a trail of blood where she was stepping but she wasn’t caring at this point. Lucy though had to try to hold her breath; Lucy had a rule about the dead and that is:
Don’t drink from them.
No matter how bad temptation was, you never drink from the dead.
Lucy: Halloween time here I come…
Within a blink of an eye Lucy found herself standing in front of a door. Slowly she pushed it opened and looked inside. The room was clean, almost empty minus for a mattress and a fire place. As soon as she looked at the window; that had pouring moonlight in, she heard static in her head. Lucy screamed loudly and grabbed her head, trying to make it stop.
Lucy: Stop!
“You could never escape me could you?”
Her neck started to burn…the bite…
Lucy: No…
Lucy fell to her knees but slowly looked up and swore she saw someone at the window. They were looking outward and their face was toward Lucy.
“I could have taught you our ways but now… now…now I have to destroy you.”
Lucy let out a loud screams and footsteps were running toward her.
Lucien: Lucy?!
Bennett: Neonate?!
The two get down to her.
Lucy: Rachel killed him…how is he back?
Lucien: What are you talking about?
Lucy looked up to see no one but the three of them there.
Lucy: But-
Bennett: Lucien, let’s get her out of here. She needs blood, she’s hallucinating.
Lucy growled darkly.
Lucy: I wasn’t! I saw my…I saw my sire.
Lucien: You can’t Lucy. He’s been dead for years.
Bennett threw Lucy over his shoulder and walked out with the Seraphina twins. But Bennett knew something was wrong. He didn’t want to say it out loud though. Lucy was already going through something and Lucy looked back up at that window. She saw him waving at her, his black and silver hair covering around his neck, his skin, pale as the moon’s rays, his eyes were pure black. Lucy wanted to scream again but she bit her lip.
Lucien: Where’s the nearest place?[/color
Bennett: Blood bank in the city.
Lucy: Don’t you dare!
Lucy started to growl at them darkly. She didn’t want a drop of blood in her mouth. She hated it and she would rather go insane then to have any.
Lucien: Lucy, enough or else I’ll knock you out.
Lucy: If you touch me, I’ll rip your balls off.
Bennett sighed and shook his head as Lucien started the car up.
Bennett: Was that really necessary?
Lucy: Don’t you dare take his side! You know how bad I hate this! How I hate being a so called freak and not being understood by anyone. Do you know how it feels to be talked about behind my back at work? Oh I hear them all whispering about how I’m a freak, I’m someone who should be in a mental house, how I have no place being here. I swear if I could…if I could I’d make an example out of one of them for this.
Silence…
Lucien: Now someone fuckin gets it. Seriously I’m tired of this bullshit we go through. I swear I’m ready to light someone on fire.
Lucy laughed.
Bennett: You, no lighting anyone on fire and you, no turning anyone. I know you’re upset with things Lucy but I think people are slowly accepting it.
Lucy didn’t say anything as the car drove.
~Part 2: (#NP: “My Demons” by: Starset)~
Black…
That’s all I could see and my body throbbed in pain like when Hunter had tried to kill me. Oh God I hope no one was trying to kill me right now. But I can’t remember what happened where I ended up like this. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn’t. I tried to move and still nothing. I sighed and then I heard a chuckle.
“I think it’s about time we have a talk Uriella.”
I wanted to scream, this couldn’t be happening right now. She shouldn’t be awake right now!
“Ah it sounds like you don’t want to see me dear.”
Shit I forgot she could hear my thoughts.
“Of course I can! I mean to doctors, I’m all in your head and you should be on meds. But of course you can’t be on meds. I mean remember what happened to you when you nearly died. That’s why you can’t. That man fucked you up so damn bad to the point where he makes Stefan’s deed look like child’s play.”
Uri: Stefan! Oh God! My match!
“Yeah about that, Uriella. I want to talk to you about it.”
Uri: Why?!
She stepped out from the darkness…Claire, my split personality. A smirk was on her face as I could see her strawberry Blonde hair cover one of her black eyes.
Claire: I don’t think you’re fully up to this.
Uri: Let me out Claire! You can’t keep me here, I’m in control of this body not you!
Claire: I locked us both in and, that means only I can let us out. Now listen to me. Damien Drake and Stefan Lajoie, you know it’ll be a challenge to you. I mean the one guy you don’t know jack crap about but Stefan…He’s an issue.
Uri: What’s that supposed to mean?!
Claire: You know what I mean. Uriella I want to ask you something, do you think Stefan cares about you?
Uri: What kind of question is that?
Claire put her hand out and made a chair, she sat in it and looked up at me.
Claire: The answer you think to be true is false.
Uri: Who the heck are you to say that?
Claire: Well you in a way. I guess you can say I’m the dark side of your mind. I’m that part that questions everything, that doubts and hell maybe knows the truth.
I didn’t say anything but I was getting pissed at her. I could tell Claire was seeing that. My eyes changed from their brown to red.
Uri: Go back to “sleep” Claire.
I slowly looked up and saw that I was chained to the “wall”. Yep I was screwed! I couldn’t move and she was right, she had the key and I would have to sit here and listen to her.
Claire: I can’t now. You need me Uriella.
Uri: I DO NOT!
And for a moment everything had went silent. I could hear my voice echo for that amount of time.
Claire: Are you done? Good, because I need you to wake up. He “left you for dead”, he hurt you and used you. Do you think that he’s healthy? No he’s not he’s toxic and we know him. This is his game; he’ll stay for a while and then go. It’s a cycle and if he did love you like he claimed to, he wouldn’t have done all of this.
Uri: You didn’t make it any better.
Claire rolled her eyes.
Claire: I don’t think you’ve noticed something Uriella. Why is it when you’re emotionally distort I come out?
I didn’t say anything; I couldn’t because I couldn’t explain it. She was right though; she always woke up when I was having an emotional episode.
Claire: My point. You have no answer Uri. You should think between you and I, who is really in control. Is it me or you?
Uri: Me.
Claire: Oh yeah? Doesn’t look like it to me.
Uri: Fuck you!
Claire: Oh that’s a good one. But Uri, no one really cares about you. It’s just you and I. All the guys you’ve been with really didn’t care either minus one person. Cole…
That right there made me want to fly across the “room” and kill her myself. That was uncalled for!
Uri: I should kill you!
Claire: You can’t, good try Uri. Anyways look, Hunter tried to kill you, Stefan you know and Deabs…Oh God don’t get me started. The only one was Cole; Cole loved you like the Goddess he knows you are. The rest of them only wanted you for your looks. They never saw the real you. They never appreciate how smart you are, how powerful and how wonderful of a shattered soul you have.
A tear rolled down my face. I know Claire can be a bitch but her sayin that last part hit me in heart. Rarely does she say anything kind to me or anyone like that. But she was right. I am smart, powerful and wonderfully shattered.
Uri: I miss Cole.
Claire: I miss him too…I’m sorry for all of this Uri.
Uri: No don’t be. You’re just trying to show in your own way that you care.
Claire snapped her fingers and the chains vanished. I started to fall but Claire got up and caught me before I could hit the “floor”. I started crying, feeling a wave of emotion coming over me and Claire hugged me close to her.
Claire: Shhh it’s okay Uri. We’ll make it, I promise and I won’t allow you to lose. Together we’ll get stronger. No one can stop you and if anyone tries; you’ll cut them down.
~Part 3: Ready for war (#NP: “Glorious Domination”)~
Lucy’s hidden room had her standing in it. This time though she put up both Song and Alana’s pictures on the wall. A smile on her face as she did this and Uriella opened the door. Lucy looked at her and Uri shut the door behind her.
Uri: Great job out there.
Lucy: I should tell that to you. I mean you did pick up the win for us.
Uri again smiled and sat down in a chair while Lucy sat on a table. The two half-siblings look at each other and knew what was going to happen at Climax Control. It was the Angels vs the PMC for the belts. For the two, they knew Jessie and Amy were going to come out hard on them. It was all good though, the Angels loved a challenge.
Uri: Jessie and Amy.
Lucy: PMC. Anyway, more on topic here... If ever there was a time recently that I've been unsure of an outcome to a match, it'd be now. Jessie and Amy has shown their passion for this business so strongly and there's nothing I respect more than passion. And that in itself makes these two one of the greats and women that as they would be it themselves, is totes awesome. They don't appear to have had the easiest of lives, which something I can particularly relate to on that level but their come through it all as a very strong individuals. They could be on top of the world in a matter of days. And even if they don't manage to dethrone us now, that isn't the end of them. They've done one helluva job to even reach this level this quickly and as I said, there's still plenty for them to achieve here. They’re always the future of this company, no doubt. And if I'm honest, the two has practically said exactly what I've been sitting here thinking. I essentially agree with everything they've said. And it's reaaaally not often that I say that.
Uri: They’re right in saying they’re going to give their all; I have no doubt about that. He's right in saying I'm going to give my all. They're right in saying that this match is going to be nothing short of incredible. They all say also said that we’re the favourite to win this... eh... that's somewhat right, somewhat wrong. There's plenty of people out there who support them and are perhaps pulling for them over me... the same people who believe that my time is up and I deserve to lose. But no matter who they want to see succeed personally, there's still tons who don't consider me to have this match won. Not by a long shot. So that? Not so right. But they’re also right in saying I have nothing to worry about in terms of anyone. I now believe that, so they are right after all. The ladies are clearly wise and knows what they wants. But do they know how to go about getting that?
Lucy: They seem to be women with almost everything they crave in life... almost.
Uri: They have mentions the few things are missing from their lives and I sympathize with many of those things... they are aspects of his life that aren't easily replaced but Jessie and Amy has many admirable qualities as well as many material possessions that mean a lot to them. PMC could full well have another material possession at the end of the week. It can't make up for a lack of certain other things but it's a start. Punk and Metal in the process of getting theirselves back on track and I respect that also. They could quite easily quit... walk right on outta here and never look back. But no. They are fighter and it shows.
Lucy: That fighting spirit is something I look up to. I come from a family that has this business in their blood and having that passion and respect for it came to me naturally and it's something I've had all my life. I never learnt it, it's just always been there in me. So when I see others who are quite clearly lacking that aspect.. it sickens me. But when I see those who possess it to the level that you do, it's great to see but it's certainly rare.
Uri: I must admit, I enjoy these sorts of matches more. Yes, I looooved kicking the ass of a people I hated several times because it provided me with a chance for revenge as well as an opportunity for me to show my violent streak. Those are fun, don't get me wrong. But it's also enjoyable to be involved in a match in which things are fueled more by respect and admiration than anything else. Hate is great. But respect is better.. And that is what is no doubt going to assist you and I, Amy and Jessie, in reaching the same level of greatness. Sometimes the best matches occur due to opponents ripping one another apart due to sheer hatred. Other times, incredible matches are born from competitors trying to outdo one another... not in terms of trying to simply better one another but to also continue building up the standards they've set so they keep doing better and better and better until boom. Match of the freakin' Year.
Lucy: Many people could be slightly disappointed by the lack of trash-talk exhibited by us and the Punk and Metal Connection this week. Yeah, perhaps at the start of the week, I was all for that. Some of us just have a natural bitchiness to us. But... when you sit back and start to really think about it, you realize that there just are some people who you know you can't disrespect because there's just nothing negative you can think of. It makes a pro-wrestler sound somewhat soft when they say something like that but ah well... believe what you will, I still get the job done in the ring and the world knows it. I've proved that enough times.
Uri: So we're just four individuals who haven't stood in front of the world and mocked the other or ranted endlessly about how we're better than the other in every way, shape and form. We haven't stated that we're gonna wrestle circles round the other and win the match with the greatest of ease. We may have said things similar but thinly veiled and somewhat transformed into compliments. Of course, we do not know one another on a personal level but again, if my sister supports the two, then I do too.
Lucy: I'm going to wrap things up again here. My final statement to you, ladies, is that I'm looking forward to this immensely. Not since my battle with you both the first time have I been experiencing the same excitement mixed in with the same anxiety... but it's a good feeling, trust me. While I want nothing more than this match to be filled with the back and forth that a match of this caliber requires, I'm also aiming to walk out victorious and still with the Tag Championships in my possession. And when I do, you shouldn't be disheartened. You gave it your all and at the end of the day, that's all you really can do.
Uri: All I'm saying is... ladies... let's make this totes awesome.
Fade to black.
