Chapter 9 - chapter 9: FIRST DISASTER ON EARTH

What on earth is he looking for?" I muttered, confused, working my lips together into

a frown, but I couldn't figure out what he was doing. I groaned in frustration, one of them had finally seen me, I could tell he was confused, why I was standing there doing nothing. Yet, I still hadn't figured out my next steps at all. There were just too many obstacles for me to contend with, I didn't want

to cut my losses, running away to soon.

"For gods sakes," all I wanted to do was save the stupid woman, I was even game by

smacking a few heads, like my master did. by playing ping-pong ball, smashing some skulls together as they hit each other in the process. "Now there was a game worth playing I thought smiling,

"OH, HELL-BELLS. "What's that man up to now?" I murmured, is he going to jump of the

damn thing, snorting, watching him stunned.

'WHAT A BLOODY MANIAC," watching his legs, dangling down of the edge, he was even

swinging them like a little kid on a swing. I would so love to yank his legs

from beneath him and watch the nit-twit hit the bottom with a thud. Wondering

if the man would even bounce afterword's, I would love to see some blood right

about now.

"EUGH...the thought, shaking my head smiling wickedly. There was no way up there to even make it a possibility, my eyes studying the black building they were

sitting on.

"WOW, I totally blame Yahweh and Jewels for this, they have finally corrupted me at

long last. Yahweh has turned me into a complete psychopath, and then there was Jewels with her weird jokes."

I'm so bombarded with my own thoughts right now, I groaned, they are finally turning against me, standing up straighter, come on old girl, you really need to concentrate, I muttered to myself, the man was dressed in such nice clothing, very fine indeed, I grinned, god even rings were hanging from his

fine fingers; they even thought they were powerful as gods from the looks of

them all, but I knew better, shuddering, cold sparks reached up and down my

spine tingling warning me that something bigger was about to happen, very-very

soon.

"High and mighty my ass." The sighs were all there, my thoughts warning me that this

was too big for the likes of me to handle on my own. I couldn't handle all this at the moment. Please, just one thing at a time, I whispered, "Great, I croaked upset with myself, my mind filled with images of ripping all that gold off, looking at them with despair as they shined in the dark, swivelling them around on his fingers; looking really bored out of his mind up there. "Maybe, I could

cut his fingers of too while I'm at it.

"YEAH, why not?" I thought to myself with puckered lips,"thinking I need to see a

therapist after this job is done, to see if I've turned into a complete psycho after all.

"See I've finally gone mad." Crazy even, I murmured to myself. Looking over only to

frown even more, watching these men in strange suits, dressed as if they were

from a big army, and that just made me think of the green milk bottles song, watching them line up on the wall all of a sudden.

"Well, I sniggered, I can't exactly call them green men, "Now can I?" it certainly

would take more than balls to knock that lot down, and I would need big ones at

that. Watching them all lean over as they all studied the scene below them at

the same time, I couldn't help it, I had to roll my eyes, nearly reaching the back sockets, I must have shown the whites at some point in my life.

"HEAVENS, are they his leaning props now?" watching one of them lean forward towards him

whispering sweet nothings in the man's ear, agreeing to whatever nonsense that

was coming out of that mouth of his. I Carried on watching them from a distance

knowing something was about to crack off, I could feel it in my bones, my lips

twitching as my eyes sparkled in delight, gathering my own darkness to me. The

thunder, lightning responding to me as more angry sparks shot down to earth

from the sky.

"What on earth have I gotten myself into this time I chastised, a shadow suddenly fell

over me from the right-hand side. I squealed in shock, distracted with my

thoughts for way to long, as my hand swung up, red materialising out of know where.

 "Feel free to help me Red, I shouted out

sarcastically, now panicking as my invisible sword came out in time. Mine caught

with another at the very last second, feeling the power wash over me as sparks

flew again, making the man's eyes widen in surprise at my sudden spontaneous

reaction.

Feeling another scrape as our swords clashed together as one, metal upon metal

squealing, watching, fascinated, silver sparks flew from our steal, touching each other.

"ABSOLUTELY, BLOODY MARVELLOUS, I grunted," my arms shook from the force as a shudder ran through it to my fingers, making it judder as impact after impact landed after.

"Managing to catch myself and getting myself under control, my wits catching up with me, "but only just; he was so much quicker and bigger than me, trying to defend myself from his on-coming hits, he pounded them out one after another still taking me by surprise.

I Managed to stop him from slashing me in the shoulder, only just about though, he was

far greater and faster than me. Only to duck at the last second. A whooshing noise came from my lips as we battled, another crack booming landing on the earth just missing us by a breath as the guy jumped to the side, I jumped, it was the only option I had at the moment, nearly falling in the crater, catching the swipe of his sword with mine as we collided together again, he was one of the

men from the roof I realised my mistake to slow.

I had been too distracted with the people on the ground, I regretted not listening to my inner-analogue better, as the man came towards me on silent feet, making me move on a second's notice, creeping around the corner till he was upon me from behind, he was like a ghost in the night but all in black and that really upset me dearly. Why, you little cheat, I mumbled,

"Our eyes connected and locked for the briefest of moments, I thought he might have

heard me, because the damn man smiled. It was so brief, that I paused in my steps.

 "Lightning chose to strike me hard and fast in

that moment, my body shook and shook, collapsing to my hands and knees, panting

hard now,

My head tilted back to the heavens, up towards the blackened sky that was now pure

white as another flash came down towards me, attacking my metabolism once

again, my body folding into its self, sparks now flying from the tips of my throbbing fingers where my nails hung, landing here and there, some of the

people yelped and jumped in the distance, my brain now off kilter with hearing

and vision to, watching them with blurred vision, jumping back and out the way,

a foot from where I stood, people yelling and screaming at each other as I

knelt there like a big bright sparkler.

"My body feeling like a drained corpse, suddenly being charged up with too much

electricity that I thought I was going to explode all at once. My body flashed

in and out of existence for a moment, coping with so much pain that it was splitting my blood into.

"The thunder booming in reply to my thoughts. It didn't like seeing me upset like

this, I was screaming and screaming with the pain, it was worse than sticking your fingers in an electricity socket, only if your fingers can fit in the holes of course. The man stood there never taking a step back, watching me with

keen eyes, like I was a popped porker that he could eat, watching my body

starting to smoke, muttering in Latin to the light sky, while it spoke back to me, even I could smell my own flesh burning in my shock.

I let myself be alone with him, I didn't have a clue what was happening to me but

I knew it wasn't good, taking in another lightning bolt through my body,

saying, YES-YES, you can do it, in Latin, while absorbing it all through my

skin, my eyes aching from all the flashing lights, they felt really sensitive

as my body started to settled down, now feeling drained from the burn of it all

down to the bottom of my hurt soul.

"I stood up now on shaky legs and feet, my body trembling out of control, feeling

like a drained battery, my life flashing before me, where is my AAA battery charger when I need it, I moaned, suddenly, looking up and up, and then I let out the biggest and longest scream in history of the world, then I screamed and

screamed some more, terrorising the people around me, the man that chased me

looked towards the sky with him following my lead, finely answering in kind to

the last of the sonic booms, the lightening sticking close to me, beaming over my head, I felt reborn.

My head turning slowly, I growled out loud,

Suddenly hearing the woman yell out again.

"I cursed out again, trying to get my body under control. I'd been such an idiot

for not realising all this sooner, gutting me to the core that no one out there was going to help this woman at all....

"MARVELLOUS, I'm a contortionist now, I moaned out sarcastically.... "Just, fan

effing-tactic, where's the on and off switch, because I felt like a fricking light bulb, right about now, shining like the brightest star in the world and everyone was starting to stare at me in stunned silence.

I finely made it to my feet slowly and very painfully my knees knocking together,

my heart feeling like a bunch of heavy rocks right about now, taking in my surrounding, and I mean everything with new, very painful eyes, while the rest of me screamed out in agony, my body buzzing and acing from the thrill of all this sonic electricity as it ran in separate waves through my veins, pulsing in

and out of me, as I stood there and staring back at them. 

"OH, hells to the no, I shouted out wickedly, my sword shooting up towards the sky on

its own accord, my own temper rising, flaring out of control, I was losing myself to the Rhythm, moving back and forth, dancing together in the moon light with each other.

New colours flying out of control, I studied them with new eyes, learning each and

every move, the odd sparks answering my calls in return, smiling at him a little to smugly, knowing he had met his match by the strange expression on his face. looking up into the beautiful face in front of me that was trying to kill or maim me, he had such a lovely soul, watching as his aura swirl around his

body, bending with mine. Only for my odd eyes to see due to my heritage and another

new gift now from the heavens.

"I shouted out, what I now thought of the man.

"You've such a beautiful soul, why waste it to death?" shaking my head in response,

shame to tarnish it with the wrong person, smiling evilly while I circled around him one more time, thinking out his steps with my mind, copying them with his now, we mimicked and danced with each other's steps. taking him completely off guard, again and again.

He frowned at my actions, smiling at me once again by my odd movements and comments. I burst out laughing suddenly amused with him, as he carried on gawking at me

like I was the idiot, and he was; I don't know why but I felt relaxed and different around this man that I didn't know, but that wasn't going to stop me from what I was about to do.

I didn't want to hurt or harm the man, knowing he was commanded to kill me if given the chance, plus the fact I realised he was after something from me.

Knowing that now from reading his intentions that were now written all over his

face. He must have found me amusing because I snorted and giggled at the same

time. I wasn't impressed with the situation at all.

"I'm sorry?" that wasn't very lady like of me I shrugged; I just can't hold any

judgment against you, winking at the sudden shock on his face putting him off

our fight once again with all my efforts. The guy was just too nervous and I

could tell he didn't know what to do with me, frowning at my tac-tics as he started

to battle with me making me wonder why that was, "I was just that girl...another victim to be used I realised.

"Time to get a move on," I whispered to myself, he must have heard my out-spoken

words because the damn idiot just smiled at me, moving at the last minute to

the side, stabbing him in the left leg, not enough to hurt him anymore than I

had too.

I didn't like the idea of this nice man dying at my hands, it just wasn't worth

the risk, at least it would heal quickly I thought, only if he was a supernatural, that is. "If my instincts for once were correct. Watching the poor guy grunted out in pain, hitting the ground hard, the impact even making me wince. "Sorry man... Got to dash... I've got a girl to save, bolting from

his side so suddenly.

'DUH, silly girl... he nearly had you back there, my thoughts spiralling out of

control, what was I thinking, panic setting in at what I had done to that poor bugger, remembering as my blade sliced into his silken skin.

"My body shuddering at the thought of nearly killing the stupid silly man, if not

for his innocent soul being so pure, shaking my head at my strange thoughts, I could never do that to a person. But I couldn't let any of that distract me right now, there were to many other things running through my mind right now anyway, like attacking those three men, red now disappearing, trying to run to

her dodging a lot of giant manholes along the way as the world moved around along with me.

"I've had enough, I didn't want to let this girl get tortured anymore, taking off

towards them. I groaned out in pain; I knew this night would be difficult for

me and my body felt like a pot of JELLY-WELLY. "Would I be able to save the

girl in time, if only I could get to her first. But knowing this strange electricity had other plans for me and that had to wait until this other situation was sorted out.

Praying that they would have enough mercy on her by the time I got my hands on them

all. Hearing a man snigger as I ran full throttle towards them. I was like a daemon on crack now, my eyes full on rolling, hearing his full-on belly laugh slapping the woman in the face, that was it I saw red, grabbing the drunken

suited man at the last minute, ripping him away from her and tearing his white

shirt at the same time.

The others shouted out in shock as another asked for his help, throwing the next

one behind me missing the crumpled mess of a pot-hole in the process. While others asked why my eyes were shinning a bright white, being called a freak at the same time, swinging out of his way to catch the others hand, failing to hit me, it was only because he was way too busy staring at me like I was some freaking ghost. "WHAT THE FRIG, did you just say? I asked him.

YOH...MAN...your eyes, there white like a sheet of paper he screamed out running away from me, I stopped dead in my tracks watching him in puzzlement, tripping and

banging his head in the process making me snort, trying to run in the dark only

to skid on the wet ground as he went, was I the only one seeing this crap, all I could do was look around me surprised.

I was even more confused now, well, I scoffed my brows reaching the top of my

hair line, that was the last thing I needed right now, a flashing Nero sigh above my head saying, "I'm a fricking light detector, I mumbled. With my sword now gone I was able to help in any way I could, even with the odd things these men were saying.

I sniggered in surprise as the third man fell to his knees my mouth now falling open.

"PLEASE my goddess don't hurt me." He pleaded, while I snapped my head back at another odd comment, to stunned to even answer him.

"You wish I was, I answered, kicking him out my way. Watching as he tumbled away

from the woman, stupid drunken bum I muttered, "You're be fine now," turning to

wink at the girl, her mouth falling open as she watched me, battling with the other man once again.

"Run along, I scream out at her as she finely moved from the spot, I prayed it was

enough to see her home now, even if they were all staring at me oddly. Looking

to the other man I stabbed not long ago, hearing him cat-call to someone.

"OH, HEAVENS, you have got to be kidding me. "Just flipping great, I said stamping

my feet, hearing him calling out to the other pussy's now, I cursed the man out loud rather abruptly.

"God give me strength for this crap, I uttered looking up to the sky only for me to

jump out of my skin at the sudden reply of the biggest and brightest flash in

my life," because Im telling you now, I was finding things a lot more stressful on my heart tonight, looking up to the roof tops as they all move in union.

So, I did what any normal person would do in any extremely delicate situation, I

ran...and I ran fast, "I was like a bolt of lightning to them all, I would find myself in another dilemma soon enough, my feet taking me slowly away from them.

Running like a chicken on thin string legs, sprinting away down the hill and

away from them.

Only to trip up trying to hop over the guard's legs, nearly slipping in his blood at

the same time, skidding to a halt. Knowing something wasn't quite right as my

eyes scanned the area around me. Feeling it deep down in my soul, I didn't know how I knew.

But something was telling me to run and run fast. Tripping on some pebbles along

the way, crunching them into the ground, turning the corner, skidding along the

way, while sprinting along Kent's cross road, zippering straight past other sighs

on the way past, running faster now in the poring rain.

My head spinning, turning sideways trying to find another rout, my skin still

M buzzing as I ran along the dirty path. Knowing what I seen back there wasn't

natural, and that was another puzzle for later when I got out of this mess alive, if I got there at all.

The nearest path was just in my line of sight. praying it would give me enough

cover, if only for a short period of time. I really didn't know any of these streets, hoping I didn't need to, yet I was just guessing my way through. We were only here for a short visit as part of the moving circus, but now here I

was taking my chances here on these damp streets trying to find a way to survive, and I was losing it big time.

It was taking all my effort to lose them, like moving needles from the hay stack,

they certainly were going to be very long, wide and even pointed ones as well.

I may even lose them soon enough, but I didn't like my chances any time soon.

I had this feeling that I would end up in their hands sooner rather than later if

I wasn't too careful about it, a few strands of my hair blew straight into my

shiny eyes blinding me for only a second, while I was still running away from

them. looking behind me at the last second, trying to swat the rest of my wet hair away from my face.

"I was about to freak my nuts off, watching many sprinting legs coming around the

corner at me at once, hearing the fresh waves of pounding footsteps of many

others, joining me in our chase, the fact they weren't too far away from behind

me now, It was shocking, I sniffled a giggle, and all of this for pore little old me.

I would have stopped and laughed if my situation wasn't so dire at this precise

moment in time. Watching in amusement as these silly men in strange suits

trying their best to keep up with my small pace, by the time I reached another

corner, I was at another ally, this one was a lot darker than the one before.

it was just like kiss-chase all over again as the boys tried to catch me up.  

"WHOO, those were the days," smiling to myself thinking about the good old days of my past with hazy thoughts. Shaking my head, trying to clear the cob webs from my

brain, concentrating on the path in-front of me, running while my heart beat

rapidly, picking up my pace, sprinting and going nowhere fast enough, even

though I do like to give chase, thinking of what mischief I could get myself

into the next time I see them.

Give these men something to really talk about once this was all over, but first I really needed to speed these legs up and get the hell out of here right now and quickly, wouldn't want to be caught tonight after all would you, I mumbled, telling myself it was now time to hurry it up, taking in deep breaths that I

didn't even realise I'd been holding in for long periods as the wind caught my wet sloppy blue hair once again, whipping me in the face, cooling my wet sticky, sweaty heated body, rain trickled all over my heated skin, feeling the relive, entering my poor cells.

Watching the lightening in fascination, following me down the street striking angrily in the distance, moving slowly away from it. The colours were so beautiful, they

were mixing together, shaping themselves into strange little animals.

My heart pounding ten to the dozen, pushing myself a little more than usual; my thighs burning from the extra effort, smiling as my adrenaline spiked up a notch more, my small feet pounding on the cement floor as my leathers clung to my body like a second skin, the amount of sweat it was taking from my runs, mixed in from the rain.

"But the question I kept asking myself is why?

"Why on earth would these in-particular men in black and gold uniforms what with me

in the first place, chasing poor little me down from street after street, and why were they on the streets themselves in the first place?" but after today's events nothing else could surprise me, I don't think they will give this

mission up now as I ran out of sight, yet again, only to skid, flying around

another corner, mud shooting up into the air, shooting towards me taking by

complete surprise.

'Shite, whimpering in shock, trying to wipe the muck from my face, "GREAT...just what

the doctor ordered I replied rather angrily.

I didn't need another mud pack at the moment. I really wanted to see who I was up

against, but at the minute, I was walking around blind with white eyes and large chunks of mud flying off me back to the ground and back up again.

"Couldn't they have chased the other men instead?" I groaned, well in that case if that's

what they want, "I'm going to give them a good run for their money instead.

It still didn't feel right at all, in-fact it was a little strange, wondering why

for the second time today, I had to think this through, there were still people

out there that still needed people like us. closing my eyes with regret for a few seconds, trying to concentrate on my sorrows and not on the pain in my head, overwhelming me for the woman who still needed me the most.

I was very upset with the situation, but I didn't have the time to wallow in self-pity.

"Such a sad life, I grumbled, needing to remember that I still had men out there chasing after me like some strange rat race, it was way more for any woman to cope with on a normal day and at this precise moment; I didn't intend on getting caught either, I wasn't planning on suffering at the hands of

any man ever again.

Everything seemed off and wrong somehow and I wouldn't be able to stop them all even if I

tried to. "I mean, "I'm good," but I'm not a bloody miracle worker. "Give me a

sodding break!" better to love them and run-away after.

"I'm not wonder-woman...yet...you know. I didn't know how to protect myself in that

way to be truthful, it wasn't as if I had all types of power was at hand.

There was no justice in it these days, besides, I just wasn't that greedy either. I'm

just angry with myself and the possibility of life being so cruel to me

tonight, I mean come on, I got buzzed and now I've got a bunch of men after me,

them thoughts alone just hurts me most in this stupid world.

It wasn't fair that this life was so awful. Rounding yet another bend, taking in

the sight of the wall in front of me, I nearly cried with relief at the sight

of it, only to make me sprint a little harder, working my legs, driving myself

faster now. It was taking forever as my life speed past me in a blur, I felt

like I  was being rewarded at last,

getting nearer, noticing the wall was really huge and my heart dropped in dread.

But at the same time what had I to lose, that gave me more comfort than a large cup

of coffee. "Somehow, I had to get over that wall, even if I had to bungee-jump

the thing, I didn't care, I was getting over it somehow, it needed to be done

sooner rather than later. I was now running on gas fumes.

BUT, "If they wanted a race?" I'll give them one there never forget, that way it

would give them something to talk about after the job was done, Knowing it was going to take a big leap of faith just by looking at it, studying the wall and its surrounding, even the height was shocking the closer I got. GOD help me.

I'm running to my own death.
