Chapter 5 - At The Heart Of The Storm Ch 5

Chapter 5[br]
[br]
Flaky saw Flippy's knife and grabbed Karen's hand, she noticed this.[br]
[br]
Karen: But what about....[br]
[br]
Flaky: Unless you want to end up on Flippy's KIA list, I suggest you follow me.[br]
[br]
The two ran down the hallway with Flippy hot on there heels. They turned the corner only to run into the cat the Flaky had bit, her eyes held the same creepy red color as Flaky's had. He turned only to see Flippy behind him, grinning like a madman.[br]
[br]
Flippy: Any last words before you die?[br]
[br]
Flaky looked at him and then the cat behind him, he smiled.[br]
[br]
Karen: Yes......Hope you can catch us.[br]
[br]
Karen's body glows yellow as she slowly levitated herself off the floor, Flaky was taken aback by he action. Flaky then found himself floating in the air.[br]
[br]
Karen grins: Surprised aren't you, huh Flaky?[br]
[br]
Flaky was speechless as Karen held both him and her in the air, Flippy looked shocked that he was witnessing this.[br]
[br]
Karen: Bye now.[br]
[br]
With a wave of her arms both her and Flaky disappeared.[br]
[br]
In another part of the mansion[br]
[br]
Karen and Flaky reappeared and landed on the floor, Karen landed gracefully while Flaky landed on his back. He sat up and rubbed the sore spot on his back.[br]
[br]
Flaky: What was that, I never knew you had that ability.[br]
[br]
Karen stood silently, staring at the wall. Flaky was a bit worried and got up.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Karen what's wrong?[br]
[br]
They stood in the silence for sometime, when Karen turned to face Flaky he noticed that she looked sad.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Karen what....[br]
[br]
Karen suddenly threw herself at him, her arms wrapping around him. This action surprised Flaky a great deal.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Karen? What are you doing.[br]
[br]
Karen looks up, her eyes are filled with tears.[br]
[br]
Karen: Flaky I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have don't this.[br]
[br]
Flaky gives her a somewhat confused look.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Shouldn't have done what? What did you do?[br]
[br]
Karen trembles in Flaky's embrace.[br]
[br]
Karen: Flaky.......Please, what I'm about to tell you may shock you a great deal but......I'm a vampire.[br]
[br]
Flaky isn't surprised by what she said.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Karen your joking right? Your not a vampire at all, I don't see anything about you that tells me your a vampire.[br]
[br]
Karen breaks the embrace and walks over to a mirror, which had a cover over it. She pulled the cover off and looked up at him, there wasn't a reflection in the mirror. Flaky stared at the mirror, unsure if to take as the truth or if she was bluffing. Karen saw that Flaky didn't believe her, so she walked over to the window and pushed the curtains to the side. The moon overhead cast it's light in to the room, she turn around and opens her eyes, they were red. Flaky was shocked beyond belief.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Karen y-y-y-your eyes th-th-th-there.....[br]
[br]
Karen: Red. These are the eyes of a vampire and you have the same eyes as well. Come over here and I'll show you.[br]
[br]
Flaky did so and nervously made his way over to her, when he stepped into the light his headache returned. Karen placed a hand on his shoulder and pulled Flaky further into the light. His headache abruptly stopped and her faced her. Karen's eyes were filled with sorrow.[br]
[br]
Karen: Flaky look at the mirror and you'll see.[br]
[br]
Flaky faced the mirror and saw his reflection, his eyes were red. The sight scared him heavily.[br]
[br]
Karen: I also have a reason for turning you into one.[br]
[br]
Flaky's voice was filled with anger.[br]
[br]
Flaky: What. Is. It?[br]
[br]
Karen let a sigh out, she raised her head.[br]
[br]
Karen: I had to break a curse that was placed on me.[br]
[br]
Flaky: What was the curse?[br]
[br]
Karen looks at the painting over the fireplace, her eyes stare at the young male porcupine in the picture.[br]
[br]
Karen: That I couldn't leave this house until I turned the last member of the family into a vampire. She points at the painting.[br]
[br]
Flaky looks at the painting before facing her.[br]
[br]
Flaky: You told me that they moved away, didn't you?[br]
[br]
Karen: I lied, they never moved. The truth is I killed them.[br]
[br]
Flaky stares at her, his mouth hung open in surprise.[br]
[br]
Flaky: You killed them? Why!?[br]
[br]
Karen: I lost control of myself when they where living her, I just became so hungry that I could stand it any longer and I attacked them.[br]
[br]
She shut her eyes and looked away from him, a tear falling down her cheek.[br]
[br]
Flaky placed his hand on her shoulders, he wiped the tear away causing her to look at him. [br]
[br]
Flaky: So there all dead?[br]
[br]
Karen shook her head.[br]
[br]
Karen: No Flaky, not all of them there is one member of the Barton's left.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Who, please tell me.[br]
[br]
Karen bites he lower lip, drawing a bit of blood which Flaky licks up without a thought.[br]
[br]
Karen: You.[br]
[br]
Flaky gave her a stumped look.[br]
[br]
Flaky: That can't be true, I'm not a member of that family.[br]
[br]
Karen shakes her head and looks at the painting.[br]
[br]
Karen: Flaky look at the little boy in the picture.[br]
[br]
Flaky looks at the boy in the portrait, noting the similarities between him and the kid.[br]
[br]
Flaky: There are many people who look like each other, he's no different.[br]
[br]
Karen grabs the scarf that Flaky had on and looked at the picture.[br]
[br]
Karen: I should have recognized that scarf from the picture, where did you get it?[br]
[br]
Flaky takes the scarf out of here hands and glares at her.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Petunia made it for me as a present, why?[br]
[br]
Karen looked at the scarf.[br]
[br]
Karen: Flaky that scarf looks exactly like the scarf on the boy in the picture, in-fact I think this is the same scarf that.....[br]
[br]
Flaky suddenly grabbed his head and fell to a knee, screaming in pain.[br]
[br]
Flaky: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!![br]
[br]
Karen was startled by this as she knelt down near him.[br]
[br]
Karen: Flaky what's wrong, Flaky!?[br]
[br]
A rush of thoughts filled his mind, about his past that was lost to him. Pictures of an adult porcupine holding a female in his arms appeared in his mind, as well as a picture of him when he was younger with his mother.[br]
[br]
Flaky: What are all of these thoughts I'm having?[br]
[br]
The thought flooded Flaky's mind, leaving him to suffer mentally. Just then Flippy's voice entered the room.[br]
[br]
Flippy: Well, I've faced tough enemies in the army but I have to hand it to you to leave me with that girl.[br]
[br]
Flippy enters the living room, his knife dripping blood. Karen stared at the bloodied knife, which meant he had killed that cat. Karen picked Flaky up and moved him out of the window, but Flippy only grinned. Karen tried to teleport again, but wasn't able to do it.[br]
[br]
Karen: Damn I forgot, I can't teleport again because of the stupid curse on me.[br]
[br]
Flippy approached her holding his knife at the ready, Karen muttered several expletives as he neared. Karen looked around the room hoping for a weapon, but the only thing she saw as a weapon was sadly a lamp. Grabbing it, she held it in a defensive measure. Flippy only smiled, he slapped the lamp form her hand and pointed the knife at her.[br]
[br]
Flippy: Any last words before you die. He grins.[br]
[br]
Karen was paralyzed with fear, she couldn't even move.[br]
[br]
Karen: I-I-I-I.....[br]
[br]
Flippy: What, spit it out.[br]
[br]
Karen shut her eyes.[br]
[br]
Karen: I hope you DIE!![br]
[br]
Flippy: Why you little.....[br]
[br]
Flippy lunged at her, Karen covered her head and waited for the knife to end her life. But it never came. She slowly uncovered her head and saw a sight which surprised her, Flippy was rubbing his jaw and Flaky was standing in-front of her. His hands closed into fist.[br]
[br]
Karen: Flaky? What are you....[br]
[br]
Flaky's voice held a surprisingly serious tone.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Karen get out of here, I'll hold him off.[br]
[br]
Flaky turned to her, she looked into his eyes and saw a strong set of confidence within them. It surprised her since previously Flaky's eyes had held fear, a smile crossed her face. She nodded and quickly ran around him and out of the living room. Flaky locked eyes with Flippy who glared at him.[br]
[br]
Flippy: You'll regret that, porcupine.[br]
[br]
Flaky just stood there, his eyes locked onto Flippys.[br]
[br]
In the hallway[br]
[br]
Karen ran near the stairs and saw that Petunia was awake, she ran over to her and grabbed her arm. Petunia pulled her arm out of Karen's grip.[br]
[br]
Petunia: Who in the hell are you? Why are you trying to....[br]
[br]
Karen: Listen Petunia you need to follow me.[br]
[br]
Petunia was surprised that this girl knew who she was, standing up she followed the girl who led her out towards the entrance of the house.[br]
[br]
Petunia: You didn't answer my question, who are you and why am I here?[br]
[br]
Karen: My names Karen and I don't why your here, but you boyfriend in there is fighting Flippy.[br]
[br]
Petunia looked at her with a surprised look on her face.[br]
[br]
Petunia: How did you know the Flaky and I are.....[br]
[br]
Karen: Because Flaky told me.[br]
[br]
Petunia blinked and looked back at the house.[br]
[br]
Petunia: I hope you beat Flippy, Flaky. And I hope you get out of this alive.[br]
[br]
Petunia stood there with a worried look on her face, Karen turned to see the sun rising.[br]
[br]
Karen smiled Well the sun up and thats good. At least I'm not turning into dust like those vampires in the movies.[br]
[br]
She turn to Petunia and smirked a bit.[br]
[br]
Karen: I can tell that those two are going to have a strong relationship.[br]
