She didn't move. No, not one inch. It had startled him at first, but after watching her, stone like, for abuot an hour, Death had grown used to the anticipation of disaster crawling down his spine. Part of him loathed himself for being down there. Why had he been down there when it happened? Why hadn't it been Flame...or SOMEBODY other than him? Even Slash would be better at this....
"Rhain....Rhain?" He prodded her, but her eyes didn't even rise from their dulled depths. "Rhain....can you hear me?"
"Rhain,...can you hear me?"
No. I can't. Go away.
"Look....I know this is bad..."
And that, right there, is the understatement of the year.
"And I know you two love each other, all right?"
Love? Such a funny word....I recall a similar situation occurred when I was a neophyte....
"...and he would never leave you..."
Lies. Of course he would.
"...especially for Verlust...."
Especially for Verlust!
"...and when he gets back, you'll talk this out calmly..."
I won't be here when and if he returns...
"...and we can fix this....Rhain? RHAIN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? I know you're a force to be reckoned with, but do you HONESTLY THINK you're going down there and---"
"I'M NOT GOING TO SEE HIM!" She snarled suddenly, the first words she spoken in over an hour, tongue dripping with venom. "I'm going back, Death. If Lupus wants to play around in the past, FINE. I can too, Death." With a cold, dry laugh, she added, "And trust me, no one knows shit about what happened when I was alive."
She vanished, leaving Death puzzled and fearing a storm from Lupus...and Rhain could possibly drown him.
Moments passed....
silence.....
nothing.
No rain....no storm below....but Rhain had gone somewhere he couldn't quite track....
With a heavy heart, and anxiety washing over him, he realized that she'd gone through the gate to Tartarus, but not only that;; she was going to speak with a wolf formerly of Blood Mist, a wolf of Zanna-Rossa's undead pack.
Lupus doesn't need to know....
yet.
