The opposite of silence [EDITING]

Ch 39: kiss of death

Eli

Franki growls at me, showing her sharp canines. "These rules. What are they?" Her angry tone not disappearing 
I look around at the other girls, Mei joining me on the couch with the devil.
"We want no more deaths" Mei speaks up, taking my hand, she holds tight.
"We also want to be equal" I finish, Franki scoffs immediately,
"You can't be serious" she rolls her eyes,
"No, he's Eli" Becki points to me, I smile a little. "I want to be more than a succubus" Becki starts to play with her hair. "I'm more than sex ya' know?"
Franki scoffs again "you are what you are. No changing that now"
"Yeah, what's with that?" I asks, Franki's gaze changes to me, she raises an non existent eyebrow. "Why do we have to be what we were born as?"
Franki rolls her eyes again "if you were born a painter, why would you try be a builder?"
What? That doesn't make sense
"I'm not playing anymore games" I slam my hand against the couch causing Mei to jump. "You stay or leave" I stare down at Franki, she scowls.
I shake my head at her silence and stand up, grabbing Meis hand as I do. "You have-"I start,

"I'll leave" franki cuts in. "You want your perfect house? Good luck" she snarls before her hair attacks Harriette, pulling the doll like girl apart limb by limb.
Frankis eye starts to glow the famous blood red as her skull pupil starts to appear.
I didn't think she was going to leave her without a fight.
I immediately headbutt the devil, sending her a few steps back in shock, she growls lowly at me as she clicks her nose back into place. I take no time in using my new found speed, I push her up against the front door, using my whole body to anchor her to the large red door.
Franki growls again, in a higher pitch this time causing her to show some sign of weekness. She springs back quickly by digging her long black finger nails into my upper arm,
Her eyes lock with mine, she looks shocked.
She leans in quickly, inching closer to my face.
"I will be back for you my love" she whispers before kissing me, she disappears under me, causing me to fall against the front door, I immediately open it, almost tripping as I run to the front gate.

No sign of the devil.

"Huh" I huff a sigh of relief. Mei steps to the front door, I turn to look at the beautiful angel. "I don't believe it's over" I begin to walk back towards the house, suddenly the property begins to shake vigorously, almost knocking me off my feet. Mei turns around, I bolt towards her, holding her in the door frame as we watch Frankis room crumble to a pile of broken concrete and rubble.
Mei looks up at me,
"still not convinced?" Vicki Questions as the house stops shaking.
My chest begins to get really hot, and I mean it fucking burns.
I grip at the centre of my chest as I fall to my knees, Mei gasps and puts her hand over mine, trying to sense the pain so she can find a solution.
I start to feel really weak, and before I know it everything's dark.

Kiss of death

I woke to a painful stab to the thigh, I grip the shocked limb in agony as I wail out. Suddenly a pair of hands is put to my mouth,
"You'll wake her!" Vicki pulls her hands away, I glance over to Mei, sleeping on a chair beside the bed. The pain in my leg suddenly growing once again.
"Fuck" I wince, grabbing my leg again,
"You broke my nail!" Vicki calls, waking Mei. I then notice the pain in my thigh was from Vicki's claws.
"What the hell you crazy bitch!" I shout, still feeling the wound loud and clear.
"I told you pain was not an option!" Mei rushes over, grabbing my leg. She grabs some tweezers and digs them into the fleshy mess, pulling out a purple and black finger nail. Mei puts it into a metal trey before grabbing a bandage and wrapping it round my thigh.
"You'll be fine" she smiles her famous warm smile and kisses my forehead. She passes me a glass of water, shooing Vicki out of the room.
"I fucked him first" the dragon mutters under her breath.
"Sex may be an act of love, but it's not the way to the heart" Mei retorts, closing the door behind the now grumpy girl.
"It's been four days" Mei sits beside me on the bed, "shes gone"
I finish drinking the cold beverage and shake my head. "She said she'd be back"
"But when? A week? A year? Three?" She takes my hand, holding it to her chest. "We will be ready for when the devil returns" her bright blue eyes pierce into my soul.
She's right. We don't know when, but we are ready. We will and can beat Franki.
I hope
