Her New Battles: sequel to The Keepers Daughter

chapp 24

I have a song that makes me think of loki.

I swear I woke up with pure joy at 5 am, with the rest of my friends.
"So, how was your cuddle session with Dayia?" Dante teased.
"Shut up, I don't care, we get to kill Zane today, and I'm actually happy, yay."
"Aww, you're a cute little phsyco. Dmitri, Nekoette, how was your sleep?"
"Good."
"Alright."
"Mama, where's Alina?" Lilith asked. Everyone went quiet.
"I don't know. Where is Alina?"
"Heart of darkness." I muttered. It was a code for Yggdrisl with Zoey.
"Why did Zoey leave the other two? She would never do that."
"They werent with Zoey when she left."
"WHO WERE THEY WITH?" Dayia asked.
"Ace was with Emmie, but I dont know about Lilith." I said.
"WHY DID THEY TELL YOU AND NOT ME?!"
"I don't care, we get to kill Zane today. La la la la la."
"So, how was your guys's nights?" My tail was so uncomfortable.
"Ugggh... I want sleep." Luci moaned.
"Luci. Luci. Luci, do you like murdering people that suck?" I smiled at her.
"Listening..." She smiled back.

It must've been like, 4 hours later, maybe an eternity for me, but we finally found Zane.
After (you ready?) 16 kills of shadow Knights per hour, a checkup on KC, leaving Laurence with the people, and a saving of Dmitris life, I sensed him near us.
He could sense us aswell.
Ssh, you shouldn't tell them I'm close. Because I'm closer than you think.
Nekoette probably saw my eyes widen, and she probably heard his voice too.
We locked eyes for a minute, and drew our weapons.
"Back. Up." I whispered.
"BUSH!" Nekoette shouted, and Zane jumped out of nowhere.
In an attempt to slice open my back, reopening Zenix's work, I cut his mask off with my machete.
He held his face, and wiped it down his head.
His face was a burnt, bloody, angry mess.
He stood up to his feet, smiling angrily.
"Maybe that wasn't as smart as you thought." He spit blood forward.
"Take the kids and leave." I barked at Dante.
"But. But. But." He cut behind Dante, kicking him forward.
"Nobody leaves."
Lucinda tried to shoot something at him, but Zane went to her next .
"I can't have you ruining the party." I don't know how, but he kicked her into the woods.
She stood back up, but I did something unthinkable.
I kept her there.
"LOKI WHAT ARE YOU DOING."
"I DON'T KNOW. MIND! STOP IT!"
"It's him!" Nekoette shouted. She probably sensed him controlling me.
I tried to snap his focus, but it was blocked.
By him.
"FFFFFFFFLUFFY CATS!" I spat at him, remembering there was little children.
"Nice save." Dayia said from behind Zane. She cut into his back a little bit, before being thrown farther into the woods.
"Let go!" I shouted, sending him a telepathic slap. He did the same. It was a fish slap for a minute.
I don't know what kept me there, or how he was using me, or what the fuck was even happening.
He let go, but I knew that meant something bad was coming.
Lucinda fell backward, and looked strained.
Dayia came crawling out of the woods.
"I know you don't want your friends here. How about I give you something?" He snapped his fingers, and everyone was gone.

Nekoette POV

Zane left with Loki.
"I... I can't track them..." Lucinda said after a minute.
"Nekoette, can you find them?" Papa asked.
You can't wake up. THIS ISN'T A DREAM.
Zane was shouting at Loki.
"They... they .." I rubbed my temples, trying to find their tracks.
"There in a void. Only people with magicks or relics are allowed."
"Where." Aphmau stepped up, to me.
"You can't seriously."
"I... I was wrong." I said, the pounding from the void getting louder and louder.
"What do you mean?"
"Only people related to the divine warriors are allowed. But... she's right here."
I jumped backwards to avoid her body being thrown at me. Zane's bloody face was scary, but she didn't seem bothered by it.
"How do I get in?" Aphmau asked. A loud scream pierced each of us.
Loki.
"I don't know."
Aphmau closed her eyes tight. She clenched and unclenched her fists.
In a heartbeat, she was gone.
We stared in her place for a second, but she came back.
"What happened?!" Dmitri said.
"She...pushed me out. She was wounded."
I could hear her faint heartbeat.
It seemed to speak to me.
Run...ning...out...of...time...

Loki POV

He threw me against the wall, and kicked me hard in the stomache.
I punched him in the nose, but he only stepped backward.
I brought out my machete, but he threw it aside.
"Why do you use a weapon? Not even human, yet she acts like she is. I wonder why."
My feet peeled from the ground.
"I will wear your butt on my foot like a glass slipper." (So, I tried to quote gravity falls, but I failed.)
"I've never noticed your tattoo before." He said, gesturing to my abdomen.
"It's not a tattoo." I said, jumping him.
"It's skin." I punched him consistently.
He hardened up, and slapped me across  the voided field.
"You can't wake up . THIS ISN'T A DREAM." He echoed from across the void.
I screamed angrily. Furiously. In front of me was the man that killed my family. He knocked each of them down like dominos.
"Why did you target me? Why did you kill everyone in my family except me? Why me? What's so special about me."
"I like bloodshed, but you're an exception. I need you, for my plan. I want the nether, but you, you're the one destined to die with the Shadow Lord. You are linked."
"You're lying."
"Nope."
"YES YOU ARE!" I screamed, grabbing him by the collar.
"Your part of a machine. A gear. So, if you live, there's a paper jam. Loki, you must die. Don't you want Shad gone, permanently?"
"... So, when you said it all those years ago... it was to save the world? To help all my friends?"
THE prison was cold.
I could hear him coming.
"If you ever do wanna help everyone like your dad, be a hero and whatnot, all you have to do is die. If you do, the madness of your powers will stop. You could go wherever souls go when they die. It wouldn't hurt. Everyone that loved you is either dead or has given up on you."
"Well, in the hero aspect..." He stood for a minute, and I threw him against the wall.
"Aphmau, you can't come in right now." I said, and I closed all doors.
"Stay, stay, good. Have fun rotting here, idiot." I said, walking to the entrance.
He grabbed me by the arm, and cut deeply into my side.
"You will die." He said, digging deeper. It caused me to scream, kicking him off me.
I jumped through the doors, coming back to a mouthful of dirt. 
"Oh hey."
The gash on my side started to bleed through to my shirt. Keeping my arm on my side to hide it, I stood up.
The pounding grew louder, and I squirmed in my skin.
"

Where's Zane?"
"Hes... locked away. Can't hurt us."
I thought for a second that Zane maybe, possibly wasn't lying.
I wouldn't test it.
Though, I had an idea.

Haven't done a... these in a while.
Look, I know my writing sucks. But if you are one of the three people that dropped it at 15, almost 10 chapters ago, chapter 16 is not even a reality. Nothing bad will happen to any of the main characters, except one.
IT'S THE FUCKING STORYLINE.
