Fade to Death

Chapter 10: The Meaning of Life

Before I begin, I just want to let my currently 2 to 4 readers that I love all of youse! (yes, I said youse, get used to it.) I wish I could personally fangirl with each of u about the book, but sadly, I can't. I have a friend who has been trying to make me tell her about Kiki's past (she knows who she is... ha!) and I must say that she should be pissed. BECAUSE.... THIS IS NOT THE CHAPTER ABOUT KIKI'S PAST. Yes, that chapter is coming very very soon [in a theater near you (pun)]. Anyways, I know I tend to ramble a little. OKA, a lot. But I just needed to get that out there, because... I EFFING ENJOY YOUR MISERY! xD! -                            ~V.P.

Kiki wakes up to find no one in the house. Alone, she thinks they just went out for a while and were coming back soon. She starts to feel through the counter to see if Marsha left any clues. Suprisingly enough, she finds a note written in braille. It read:  

I'm going to run a few errands, be back soon.    ~Mom

P.S. Have you seen Kira? He wasn't here this morning and his room is empty.    

Kiki clutches the note in her hand. Not knowing what to do, she walks around the house worriedly.   

MEANWHILE:

Kira waits impatiently. "Where are we?" he finally asked.

"Kira Lake. Kira, your name right? Well, your name could be translated into 'the one who kills; Killer'. Did you know that? Well anyways, do you know why it's called Kira Lake? No? Well, the legend says a demon slaughtered an entire village close to here and that he was killed and buried in the lake. Who might that be, I wonder?"    Killer taunted.  

"Stop the heretics and tell me why we're here."

"This is where we can fight. Right now, I'm in the Amuleto and all you have to do is enter it."

"For what? What do I gain from fighting you anyways?" 

"You want to find the witch, right? And kill her? Well, for that you need to gain strength and in order to do so, you have to beat me so that you can use my full werewolf power for your gain."

"Wow, you thought this through."

"What do you think I do in here?"

"Good point. Anyways, let's begin."                                                                                            

Kira touches the Amuleto and appears in a version of a black sky with red clouds. It's infinite size envelopes them. That is all that can be seen for miles. There is no one in sight except Kira and Killer and they both stand on a piece of black tile floor that suddenly appears. 

Killer smiles and chuckles viciously. Kira stares seriously. 

"Let's see if you're up for this. Before we begin, I have a question for you." smiled Killer.

"I didn't come here for an interview. What the hell do you want?"

"What'll you do after the witch is dead, and you find out about Janice?"

Silence.

"Hmm. Thought so. Don't got an answer for everything now do you? Well, forget it."

Killer grows twelve inch claws on his hands. Unexpectedly, Killer quickly slashes at Kira. Luckily, Kira misses by an inch. Killer keeps slashing at him and Kira keeps on dodging.

"What's the matter? Can't fight without your little vampire?" Killer taunted.

Suddenly, Kira falls to the floor. It seems to be the end for him (since Killer has the advantage) when suddenly, something repels Killer's finishing blow.
