*Max,or what appears to be him enters the common room*
*Kiara looks up from her usual spot in front f the fire and smiles* Hey you
*nods,appearing to be looking for something...Not at all like max*
max? What are you doing? *Kiara asked, her emereald eyes following his every move.*
*smiles evily at kiara*I'm just looking for something...*his eyes flash red,just in case she missed the evil smile*
*Kiara stood and walked towards him, ther ewas definately something wrong here.* Hum, what are you doing, really?
*smiles again*if you must know,I'm here to kill you.And,I'm not max.*laughs*
* Kiara nodded her head and took a step forward towards him, her emerald eyes no longer emerald but just ad red, perhaps even deeper so, that the others. *As I thought. And might I enquire as to why, before you go trying to stop me in my tracks. *She asked, her tone dripping with venom by now, and obviously her defenses up to the fullest. *
*his eyes turn red*why don't you take a guess?I'm evil,its my job, darling.Your good.I'm evil.see where I'm going with this?*laughs*and just in case you wanted to kill me,I am endowed with all of you and maxes powers.I'm going to replace you....
*Kiara raised a borw.* Sarcastic SOB aren't you. Perhaps you know then that it won't be so easy to get rid of me. You say you have my powers, and Max's, that's intresting then i know how to defend myself from you as well. How do you tink this is going to work then. *She began to walk slowly around the Demon, studying him, scrutinizing his movements, in all, basicaly getting a feel for what and who he was.*
interesting...You haven't even bothered to ask where your darling max is?
How is that interesting, when I already know you've more than likely done something with him. * Kiara kept her eyes on his every move, her tone about as calm as it could be, indicating she was quite angry. *
perhaps...he's dead.*seems to be enjoying tghis for a moment then gets right down to business...*Actually,Your not to die.Not your body,anyway.
*Her lips turned up into a sneer. * And I suppose this is what you have done to Max?
actually,it isn't. I guess you could say I'm his dark side...Embodied.This is my body of course,in maxes image.*shrugs* *laughs at his own willingness to give away so much information.*I do drone on,don't I?I'm sorry...
Yes, you do. What do you want? And what makes you think that you will have me
Its simple;What makes you think you can resist me?I do have max's charm......*smiles*Not that I'll need it. *freezes her*
*Kiara's body was frozen in place, but her mind worked just fine and she was not about to give in that easily.
A book flew across the room, smacking the demon in the head then another and another until the demon was knocked to the floor, perhaps unexpected of her capabilities. * You seem to have not taken all your notes; I don't need to move to harm you.
*rubs his head,angrily*Feisty thing,Aren't you?*puts an extra layer which blocks mental attacks*
A low, menacing growl escaped her throat as she struggled to free herself from his binds. She wasn't going to loose, there was no way she would allow this.*
perhaps,this will get you to come along quietly?Come with me or max dies....
*Kiara froxe all thoughts and gasped. * What have you done with him. *She almost cried. *
*sighs,sympathetically,something demons are generally not able to do, but as kiara would find out,hes not Just a demon;He's an extension of max*I'm sorry.I have to do this.It may sound stupid...But I have to....The devil...*doesn't continue,knowing he sounds like he has vulnerability*Max is where I'm taking you.
*Kiara paled. * No.... * She said simply and then struggled to free herself again. * NO, you can't. Do you have any idea what that means...
*a sadness appears in his eyes*I'm sorry*looks away*I have no choice.
Yes you do, just what ever you do, you can not take me to him. * she pleaded, something that Kaira never did*
*looks at her,something other than evil showing* *frees her* *stares into her emerald green eyes*
*Shocked that he actually freed her she stares back at him for a moment. * You, where is Max? *She asks again, her emereald eyes looking a bit softer at the Demon now. *
...it looks like the devil was wrong...Max doesn't quiet have a dark side.....perhaps darker.....*the demon kissed kiara*goodbye...Max is in the highest tower of hell..the place between heaven and hell.*he vanishes,returning to being a part of max*
Kiara stood there for a moment, that kiss, it was somehow familiar but then she shook her head to clear it then turned to the form left behind and sighed. * I guess, I will need to go there anyway. *She growled, she hated the fact that she'd have to go anywhere near hell again, had hoped that she'd be able to keep as far away from her suitor, the Devil, the one who sought her to take the world apart. Then, she closed her eyes and vanished, turning up on the highest plain of hell, knowing, she'd not be able to slip through with out the Devil knowing she was there. *
*stirrs*where am I?*Max stared around his prison*
Kiara walked along the empty plain, she could feel eyes on her as she went though, in truth, she didn't care, her mind was set on one thing and one thing only and that, was to find this tower the shadow demon had spoke of. "Max, where are you." She sighed to the emptiness of the hell plain, and no one heard her, no one except, the devil and he would bide his time to wait until she was just about on her last string of hope, then tear it away from her and take her away to the lower levels where she'd be his. *
*heres kiara*~Kiara,where are you?~
~~MAX? I'm here, I'm looking for you, I have been told you are in the highest tower, the one between heavemn and hell. But I can not find you and I am being watched.~~
~don't let him get you.,...Be careful...~
~I will~~ she replied, a smile coming to her lips, as her jopes in finding him grew, now that she talked to him, her spirit lifted knowing he was indeed, unharmed. and she continued walking, looking around, climbing now the streep incline that headed up towards what one would have thought to be the earth's suface, but was not, she could see the stars. "Odd" She said to herself.
*sighs and waits patiently for kiara*
Ahead, she saw it, a great tower, its pillars reaching up to the heavens, it was ominous and a bit foreboding as well, sending chills down her spine and that was saying something when an object can frighten one that has looked into the devils eyes and fought against him on many occasions.
~~Max, I've found it~~ Her thought came to him in an awed silent tone*
*
*sighs in relief*It isn't that tall,is it?
~~You have no idea~~ *She responded, looking up until she could no longer see the top of the tower.*
With a heavy sigh, she began to walk into the tower, her leather-clad feet making no sound on the marbled floor inside, her emerald eyes looking all about in awe of the sight. It was just perfect, as if kept up daily, the black marble glistened and shown her reflection in its surface, then showed something else too, it showed the devil looking back up at her from the floor. She gasped. *
~what?Are yyou okay?~(g2g)
(K)
~~Hum Max, I might be a little late~~ *came her hushed relpy, thoughthe Devil wasn't right there, she looked down still at the reflection shoing her and the Devil, her wearing a black wedding gown and then both she an Max heard him laugh as he playe dwith her mind.*
~don't tell me...Its him,right?~*sighs*~Be careful,please....~
~~I will~~ *Kiara taore her eyes from the image below her feet then began walking again through the tower. As she began to assend the stairs, she felt a tug at her mind and ignored it.*
*focuses and protects kiara with his mind,all of her*
Kiara felt his presance and smiled then contniue dher walk up the long stairs*
*smiles*
*Once again, this time much harder than before, there was a tugg at her mind, it hit Max ttoo, making his head ache like never before.
D: Nice Try Max, but did you really think you could beat me?
*GROWLS* *Attempts to break free,nearly doing it* .....With my bare hands.....*clenches his teeth.*I'll be rid of you....*seethes*
*Kiara falls to one knee fighting the Devils will and she grits her teeth then stands with great difficulty and pain, and continues slowly against his hold, towards Max and up the stairs.*
D: Growls in anger as she fights against him and pulls even harder, against her, bringing her down again.* You are string, good, you will serve me well.
*focuses his mind,harder and urges kiara foward,helping every step she makes*(g2g soon)
*Although he tried, the Devil could not beat their combined powers as she rose higher and higher, now at the top and as she reache dher hand to the door, grasping the knob it clicked, unlocking and the Devil roared in ager, shking the tower violently, knocking both Kaira and Max to the ground.*
*smiles at kiara-*Nice of you to drop by.(G2g)
*Although very tired lookng she smiled at him* Yes, and nice to see you again* She went to Max and took his hand.* Lets get out of here, if we can....
yeah...I have a feeling hats not going to be so easy...
