'Gone out, Needed to clear my head.... we'll talk.... really talk when I get back, Love, Cece.'Cas sighed as he finished reading the note, His Shift finally over from manning the comms.He jumped on his bed and closed his eyes, trying desperately to ease himself to sleep.... but whenever he closed his eyes, all he heard was laughter.The Golden man with rubies for eyes Toyed with Cas, Toyed with Cece, Toyed with everyone within this base.Yet what bothered him most of all.... was the look Cece gave Zebediah.... "Who am I kidding? I want revenge on the bastard too! but..." He stared at his stump, "But first things first.... we need to do something about this...."He thought of getting a bionical arm.... but immediately banished the thought, 'Metal arms.... too much on maintenance, I could learn over time but I just... don't.... want to!' He thought of grafting another arm? Perhaps before his brain forget how his left arm worked? '.... but I doubt Zebediah was kind enough to spare th
Cecelia Grimes ran for her life!It wasn't a graceful run nor were the steps calculated, It was a mad, desperate, relentless dash for safety! Her haste only quickened everytime the ground shook.She fell, Finally her missteps got the better of her, she landed face first into the mound of snow.She desperately got back up, nearly tripping in the process, She turned back momentarily and instantly regretted it."Sweet Jesus!" She screamed and darted off once again.'Oh doll!' Ella mused, 'Now this.... this is what I was hoping on seeing, That Fear, that desperation.... it was almost worth the wait!'"Go screw yourself, on second thought go die!" Cece snarled so hard, spittle trickled down her lips. She flew just close enough to whisper into Cece's ear, 'You wound me doll.... all I'm doing is offering some support, some morale....' She cackled.Cece would like to deck her, would like to strangle her.... but Her priority was getting to safety, besides Ella was nothing but a mere projectio
The way forward was dark, depressing... the only semblance of light were the pale green lanterns that illuminated the path ahead.Every now and then, Cas and Melissa would come across a couple of staff moving things to and fro the basement but that happened only so often.It was quiet, Cold so.... cold, Not so much the temperature no.... this was the sort of coldness one experienced when being watched, Cas occasionally looked over his shoulder to reassure himself nothing was waiting to jump them in the dark.But nothing and no one did such, The staff members didn't bat Cas an eye and Melissa didn't seem as jittery as Cas was.'Infact she's been eerily quiet since we got here.... why?' He studied her face, She looked listless and bored, She craned her neck a bit and met his gaze.Her hollow yellow eyes, bored right into his soul, 'Okay that's exaggerating a bit but still, she's acting kinda creepy!'"Are we getting closer?" Cas finally spoke."......" Melissa continued to gaze right at
There was a roar in the air, Like the sound of a Car engine, It echoed all round the Dusty, Snowy fields.A Golden light illuminated the world around them, The light caused the Beast and Cece to recoil back, Shielding their eyes from the heavenly like glow.Cece could smell Fire and Sulphur in the air, She looked around her and saw the mounds of snow melting away, From Ice to Water to steam, She felt the heat pulsating from her skin and sweat rolling off her back.The beast growled and hissed in indignation, it backed away slowly from the light, Cece saw it's form melting away, the slow back steps quickly became large leaps backwards.The light slowly dulled in colour, Just enough for Cece to witness the transformation occuring within the fire.She saw small creatures, the size of fairies, Coated in Fire and metal, There were 4 of them, all hammering away at a piece of metal, Everytime they struck the metal with their tools, It grew larger and the light surrounding them grew duller.E
Cas raced past the piles of bodies littered about the hallway, He smelt hot iron and Sulphur in the air, It was thick, like standing near a furnace, And it was everywhere, He found scorch marks on the walls, Melted ice and shattered glass mingled along the bodies Castor ran past.He held his blaster in his right hand and.... nothing in his left, he cursed, using the anger from losing his arm to charge onward, He ducked under a pillar that had fallen over and lunged over a gap in the ground, And made his way over to where the screaming was loudest.He met Burning men, Helpless souls wailing about blindly, Some tried reaching out to him, To grab him, "Help me! Oh God help me!" They screamed, Cas bit his lips, and moved past them, Turning a blind eye to their pleading."I'm sorry...." He muttered, as he continued onward, He caught a glimpse of a familiar face, "Vince!" He cried out, As he gained in on him.Vince, was firing his blaster at a couple of shadowy figures, Cas heard them hiss
"Cecelia come out already darling, Let's go do some baking.... we'll make cakes and pies for your Dad and Cas.... we'll make them outta your Eye, Nose and all the nasty things inside your vile body! Come out and die already! The longer you keep me waiting, the slower I'm gonna make it!" Her mother screamed, Her voice getting more and more hysterical as the twisted spectre went on it's rant.Cece trembled from her hiding spot, She was perched on a spot by a mountain, Just halfway up the path, She recognized it, The make up and terrain was The same as the rocky mountains, 'Is it a memory from our vacation as kids?' She wondered, It was the same mountains... but the image or memory rather..... it was twisted.There were glass shards in place of rocks, Burning trees and bushes in place of mundane ones and the land was void of all life excepting Cece and her Haunters.If Cece ever had doubts about her curse, this dream shot them all down, 'No.... not a dream, A Nightmare...' She mused, S
"That was really stupid y'know!? Ow! Owwie......" Lucy nursed her rear gently, Cursing, she glared at Cas, Half irritated, Half relieved, "You're so lucky we landed in those pile of clothes.... this must be the laundry room, I guess?"Cas, for his part, simply stared at his right ankle, He tried rising to his feet but winced, "Yep..... It's broken! Damn it!" Cas cursed under his breath, the Younger Grimes cupped his ankle with his hand, "Could you find something to help me wrap it up?" "Anything else busted?" Lucy snorted, "I hope not.... really, it'd be a pain hauling your lanky ass all the way over!"Cas whistled, "Did you always have a motor mouth? is that diminutive frame hiding all that negativity?" He chuckled."Screw you! Don't call me short!" Lucy hissed as she marched over to Cas, She stood over him and glared."..... and don't call me lanky," Cas growled, "Now if you don't mind, my ankle! and don't complain about it either! Between the two of us, even in this state I'm sti
"Thank you Kindly!" Cecelia gleed as she snatched the cup of spiced wine from one of the waiters, She brought the steaming hot drink gingerly to her lips and gave off a long sigh as she finished her first few sips!She Glanced down at the ring, Calgora the Were-Hog and Fairy boy were standing opposite from each other, Neither had moved an inch not yet.... It'd been almost 20 second snow and they just.... stood there?Cece wasn't the only one wondering why, The crowd was starting to get agitated too! "Get a move on, already! We don't have all day!" One man screamed."Tear him apart! I wanna see some Red gravy!" A lady squealed.There was a chorus of bloodthirsty spectators echoing all round Cece, She almost found herself joining in, She giggled at the absurdity, A few glanced shifted in her direction but they just as quickly lost interest in her.Fairy boy took the first step, he unfolded his wings and took a fighting stance, 'Muay Thai?' Cece cocked her head to the side, The Were-Hog
