To Catch A Cardinal

Chapter 17

*Ghost's Pov*

The way Elza and her friend carried me was pretty painful. She kicked me everytime I didn't walk in a straight line. Finally she lead me to blood red door that reeked of death and dispair.

She kicked me and I sailed across the room, hitting my head hard and going unconscious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was in a dark eoom with only one light sorce and it moved really fast. The sound of metal hitting metal rang throughout the room. I had no idea where I was.

The scene I saw was bad. Nycole and Jimmy where battling it out. Jimmy with his knife and Nycole with a double bladed sword with wrappings around it. She glowed a silver color and moved very quickly.

I shakly stood up, using the wall for support. She finally noticed me. "Hey sleepy head! How ya' doin'?" She said and deflected a blow and struck back, grazing his jacket. He leaped back and was sweating. His insane grin spread across his face.

A bright light was cast and Jimmy grimaced, squinting his eyes. Once the light faded a bit, the darkness had receded a bit and was now coming back.

"No one can over come the darkness, it resides within everyone, just give in, you can come join us...." Said Jimmy soothingly.

She raised her swords and attacked. Within moments she had Jimmy's neck up against one blade, and the other behind him, leaving no place to run. Her head was next to his and she spoke lound enough for me to hear her. "Leave him alone..." She snarled.

Jimmy grinned wildly. "Never..."

"If I kill you now, you die forever.... do you understand that much?"

"Yes, I do, but if you kill me here, you also kill Johnny, for good, never to come back again."

Her eyes widened but she forced herself to stay serious. She pressed the blade further into his side. A tremendous pain spread across my body like wild fire, burning with all the hatred, anger and madness of a thousand gods.

I let out a shreak and collasped to the ground, the pain becoming worse. Is all this pain from Nycole's blade? What is up with her?! I thought. She glanced at me and saw my condition, but she didn't come over to me. Insead she pressed harder into Jimmy with her blade at his side. The pain was really bad much but I didn't allow myself to go unconscious.

Jimmy smiled even more. He snickered. "Johnny...come here." He said camly. I felt a force come over me. I didn't know what I was doing, but my body listened and did everything he told me to do. I no longer had control, but could only watch as I did what he said.

I had gotten to my feet slowly and stumbled halfway there. Nycole glanced at me. A wall appered behind me and I was thrust up against it.

She brought Jimmy over and a massive pole rose from the ground. Nycole's eyes had become an extreme light blue and seemed to be glowing almost silver. She lead Jimmy to the pole and bound his body with chains. They snuck around him like snakes, inching their way slong his body untill he was completely chained up. His arms spread out and his legs like a star. The pole widened and became a wall,  the chained broke into the wall, sealing themselves there.

I on the other hand had the same thing happen to me. The chains induced a pain when they touched me, worse than earlier. She pulled up a chair out of nowhere and sat down. She crossed her legs and waited, staring at me and Jimmy, not even blinking once.

"So Jimmy...let me ask you this. Why did you want to be apart of Ghost again?"

"My life depended on it, I could have died from you. And with me having my own body, it wouldn't affect Ghost, so you wouldn't think twice about killing me. But as long as I am apart of Ghost here, if you kill me you kill him to, and we know you wouldn't do that....yet." He said.

"What do you mean 'yet'?"

"Oh come on! We all know that Ghost will die by your hands for good one day. As long as he is around you, he could die forever at any moment."

"Hmmm.... I don't belive you."

"You don't have to believe it, it will hapen no matter what you do."

"Hmmmm....." She pondered that for a bit but didn't do anything. She turned her attention to me. The pain was soon going to kill me. The chains disappeared and I dropped to the ground gasping for breath.

"Hey, Ghosty! Get me down." Said Casket. My body obayed and I walked over to him. I fought and I stummbled to keep myself from helping him down. But it was too strong for me. He got released and I sat there, my eyes wide. The darkness was getting closer to me. Nycole was the only light sorce and the darkness couldn't get to her. It crawled and creeped up to me, taking my soul with it.

I wanted to fight back, but how could I produce a light sorce like Nycole's? A voice came to me and started to speak. All you have to do is belive it will happen, that there is a chance... you can.... it runs in your blood....

The darkness engulfed my vision and I felt myself hit the cold, hard ground. Jimmy disappeared into me and he took control....
