| "Snatcher, Random, please leave us. I wish to speak to Ms. Summers alone." Travis ordered, waving away his minions. As soon as the two had exited the room, Travis fixed his gaze on a seething Raine. "Congratulations, you are the first person, other than myself, who has ever been able to seriously injure Snatcher The Ripper." he smirked. "Go squeak yourself." Raine spat. Travis's smirk melted into a sympathetic look. "The Creator said you'd be feisty, but I'm sensing some hurt and betrayal in your aura. You caught him with Brenton, didn't you?" "How did you--" Raine sputtered incredulously. "You are aware that my minions and I are on the most dangerous creature list, correct? The reason we are is because each of us had special powers bestowed upon us, by the Creator. I am the master of the dark side, therefore, I have all the same powers of my minions, as well as my own. I can sense other emotions. And, I do keep an eye on the goings on of the light side. It had been brought to my attention quite some time ago that Young Gothica had embarked upon an affair with Ms. Brenton." Travis replied. "Yes, I caught them, alright? I thought he was going to propose tonight, instead, he was getting ready to dump me! That's the whole reason I was out walking by myself in the first place! Satisfied?" Raine snarled, before breaking down into tears. ~*~ "Macabre? This is Mick. We have a situation." Mick stated, barely giving Macabre time to utter a greeting into his cell phone. "Squeak, what now?" Macabre sighed. "Raine's missing. She's been gone over four hours. Andrew said she just ran off, after they broke up. I'm going to search Impending Doom Apartments, and Havitulean Cemetery. Do you think you guys could start looking around town?" Mick replied. "Sure, we'll look. If we see any sign of her, we'll call you." Macabre agreed. "Macabre, what's going on?" Tamara asked, looking worried. "Raine's missing." Macabre stated. ~*~ Silenty, Travis pulled the distraught ruler of insults into a hug. "Travis, the Creator called, with your next set of orders for her." Snatcher stated. "What does he want me to do?" Travis asked, as Raine wriggled out of the hug, and stepped back, staring in shock. "Are you sure you want her to hear--" Snatcher started, but Random cut him off. "Just spit it out already!" Travis roared. "Your orders are to eliminate her...permanently." Snatcher stated, looking sympathetic. He had barely known the girl an hour, and yet Snatcher could tell that Travis had already falled hard for the girl. "I think I'd like to find out what his motives are first...Snatcher, I need you to go into invisibility mode, and do some snooping. I'm not going to kill anyone until I find out why he wants her dead so badly." Travis replied. "Why didn't you just go ahead and kill me? Why are you waiting?" Raine asked. Travis didn't reply. Instead he snaked an arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms, and crashed his lips onto hers. ~*~ To Be Continued... |
