Brittany stood, hidden in
the entryway to the temple. She couldn’t
believe what she had just witnessed.
Sure, she had an idea of what Grath was like from what Bobby and the others
had told her. She had seen first hand
what he was capable of in the way Bobby had shut himself away from the world,
but she had no idea that he could be that sick.
She still couldn’t scrub the image of Jean’s face from her mind. He was insane, his body out of his own control.
Part of her wanted to
rush inside, to start the attack now, but she knew that she didn’t stand a
chance. Even with her demonic powers,
she was no match for whatever Ujin was, and she sure as hell didn’t want to end
up on the business end of one of Grath’s tentacles.
She did need know one way
to help, though. She could take out
Elizabeth. That crazy bitch was
basically human. Brittany could sense
some of Grath’s energy on her, but not enough to make her a real threat.
All she had to do was get
her away from the others, and out of the central chamber.
Brittany felt around in
her pockets for something to throw. All
she had to do was get them to send Elizabeth outside to check things out, and
she would have her chance.
Her hand wrapped around
something small and slimy. She pulled it
out of her pocket, and examined it. It
was the eye ball of one of those little demon/elf children that had attacked
her and Rico in the Security Room. She
gave it a squeeze, and just as she had expected, it was solid.
She bent down, and rolled
the slimy, black blood covered eyeball into the temple, then ran for the
entrance.
She stood outside of the
temple, pressed against the wall, listening.
“What the hell is
that?” It was Elizabeth’s voice. It sounded breathy, like Grath was already
getting to work on her.
“Damn it! I had hoped my servants would have take care
of the demon and her companion.” That
was Ujin’s voice. “Elizabeth, go out
there and make sure that demon bitch isn’t going to get in the way of our
little… ritual.”
“Now?” Elizabeth again. “I’m kind of busy!”
“You can serve your
master later. Do your job, girl.”
Bingo.
Brittany pressed herself
tight against the wall, slipping sideways just a bit, letting the shadows hide
her. She could hear Elizabeth’s shoes as
she walked down the long, stone corridor that led outside.
Brittany watched as
Elizabeth stepped outside.
“Why the hell do I have
to…” Elizabeth was mumbling to her self,
kicking stones off the lip of the temple, and into the lake.
Moving quickly, Brittany
went in for the attack. First, smashed
her fist into Elizabeth’s windpipe, making sure that the bitch couldn’t call
for help.
Elizabeth turned on her,
swinging wildly, gasping for air.
Brittany easily dodged to attacks, moving smoothly from side to
side. Elizabeth had some fight in
her, and even as she was gasping for air
she was able to throw some pretty solid kicks towards Brittany’s head.
With a thwack one of
those kicks connected, the heel of Elizabeth’s boot catching Brittany in the
temple. She stumbled, nearly falling off
the lip, and into the murky water below.
She had gotten cocky, and paid the price for it.
“I am going to make you
bleed.” Elizabeth’s voice was a painful
rasp.
She held out her arms,
her hands clenched into fists. Two bony
swords burst from the tops of her hands, ripping open the skin. Elizabeth didn’t seem to mind though.
“Shit.” Brittany rolled as one of Elizabeth’s wrist
blades came crashing down, nearly splitting her skull in two.
Brittany spun around,
kicking Elizabeth in the stomach, sending the woman flying back, and crashing
into the side of the temple. The kick
threw her off balance, and Brittany fell, her face just inches from the water.
The water began to move,
then bubble. Something was down
there. Brittany pulled back just as a
smiling, snapping face shot out of the pitch black lake. It was a swarm of those little elf dolls, and
they were hungry.
Brittany was able to get
back on her feet just in time to see Elizabeth rushing at her, blade
extended. She had to think fast.
Quickly, she dodged,
grabbing Elizabeth’s wrist, and twisting it behind her back. Then, with a swift kick, she kicked out Elizabeth’s
feet, bringing her to her knees. Before Elizabeth could react, Brittany dunked
the woman’s head into the lake.
The water bubbled and
frothed as the little elf demons devoured Elizabeth’s face. Elizabeth’s body jerked as her flesh was
ripped from her bone. After a few
minutes Brittany pulled Elizabeth’s head from the water.
The woman’s face was
almost completely gone, replaced by a partially chewed flesh and muscle. One small, eager little elf child still clung
to a flap of flesh that dangled from Elizabeth’s neck.
“Eat up!” Brittany kicked the rest of Elizabeth’s body
back into the water.
When she looked up from
the bloody cloud forming in the lake she could see one of the ride’s small
boats floating towards her, Clare at the helm, and Bobby, Kurt and Ashtyn
sitting right behind her.
The fight was about to
start, and after that little tussle with Elizabeth, Brittany felt ready to go.
