Eclipse... Part 1
Part 1.
Crebain climbed out onto the garage roof and stood for a while. He searched the skies and then sat down with a sigh. The moon wasn't out as yet, or if she was he couldnt see her, perhaps hidden by the clouds which made their way across the sky with difficulty, their huge grey mass hanging low, seemed to be almost within reach. The night zypher was out and about and greeted Crebain with a cold lash on the face. He shivered for a moment and looked up again. Directly above him he could see a dim circular light behind the passing clouds and somewhat of a smile came to his face. It was a whole month since he had seen her and alot had happened and they needed to talk. Maybe talk was out of the question. A bit of yelling on his part would definately be necessary. But what would the neighbours think if they saw him screaming at the sky. Screw the neighbours he thought, this was too important to keep quiet.
The last ends of the clouds finally crossed over the house and revealed the silver rock. The smile came back to his face, he just couldn't help it. It was a weakness he had and had recently discovered it. A bit strange, but then again alot of things about him was strange.
" How's it been?" he asked her." Had a good rest?"
"Yea i guess, how have you been?" she asked.
"Me?, Ive been good, a bit stressed but good, though I cant say the same for Kye"
"Kye?, what's wrong with Kye?" she inquired, emanating a sudden bright glow.
"What do u mean what's wrong with Kye, I think the bitch is dead!"he exclaimed. Her shine flickered a bit in the sky. She was obviously unaware of what had happened. Crebain saw this change in her shine and calmed down a bit.
" You mean you didn't know, u honestly didn't know that she went missing?" he asked
"No I didn't, and why would u think that i would know. I was away for about a month, u know that." she exclaimed.
"Oh damn!, i cant believe this, this is really strange, really really outta the shit strange!" he exclaimed. Crebain got up and walked around on the roof.
The Silver beauty looked at him intently, waiting on him to speak again. For her part she was completely lost for words. After pondering on something for a while, he finally looked up at her. There was a worried look on his face, as if the world was on his shoulders. He sighed and sat down again.
"Tell me what you did to Annubis' thoughts" he said after a while.
" I did nothing, I heard them, you asked me to listen to him and I did" she told him.
"Did you take them from him as you did for me?"he asked.
"No, I didn't want to, I didn't know him as much as I knew you" she replied.
"Did he ask you for anything, any wishes or anything?" he asked her.
"No, he didn't, all he did was tell me what was on his mind and what he was feeling" she confessed.
"You are the only one he spoke to, and then out of nowhere he finds himself minus one pain in the ass. I mean there is nothing more in the world we wanted than that, but the fact that she is gone, raises alot of questions." he explained.
"Kye?" she asked anxiously.
"Yes, he wanted Kye out of his life, and now she is, she went missing 5 nights ago and no one can find her. There has been alot of finger pointing but no one seems to be able to be pinned to her disappearance. Its really odd you know. Do you know something about this?"
She didn't reply. Her silence held for a while.
"If you do, you have to tell me" he urged her." The other 2 are going to strike out at us soon"
"Yes, I might know something, and if what im going to tell you has happened, then there is nothing anyone can do." she paused and pondered a little. Then she started.
" I tried my best to suppress the beast when we first started talking. I did succeed in keeping him from materializing from your thoughts but the foundations for his growth were laid, and in my dark side, he slept. I kept him like that for quite a while. Then I forgot about him, and if you think long and hard you'll remember him. He appeared to you in your sleep one night, and you put him out of your mind. Thankfully I was there that night when he came to you. I thought when the host disavowed him he will go, but maybe i was wrong. His foundations were always there, waiting to be built upon by some deep hate and pain. He got that when I spoke to Annubis that night. Annubis was very open in his thoughts when we spoke and all and everything he felt came out. The beast fed off Annubis' thoughts, he sucked it all up and grew and materialized to his full being. I didnt notice it, how couldnt i have noticed the beast lurking in my shadows and beneath my surface?!"
She stopped and looked down at Crebain gravely.
"Well the beast is out, and there is nothing we can do, its all up to Annubis to control his desires and thoughts." she said.
" What the hell are you talking about?" was all that Crebain could say after what he had heard.
" The beast Eclipse, I fear, has taken Kye. The beast was manifested in Annubis' mind, and dwelled beneath my surface. He is a revenge beast, a demon of sorts. Once manifested in thought and fed on pain, hate and anger in a person's life, the beast rises, and fulfills its host's desires." The Silver beauty said" The beast can be your friend, its Annubis' friend. No harm shall come to him or those close to him once the beast exists. There is alot to regret in this situation but much to be thankful and grateful for.The other two would not be able to touch any of you as long as Eclipse is about. Not everyday does one get to summon a being to do their bidding"
Crebain sat and listened to what she said. He honestly wanted to curse and wake up the entire neighbourhood. Nothing of what she said made sense or was believable. He gave that part alot of thought. He was speaking to the moon what was believable about that. He sighed.
"So what happened to her, Kye that is?" he asked.
"Most likely as you said, she's dead. The thing about it is that her body will never be found, he, Eclipse would have taken it with him." she told him. "I expect she died a tormented soul, it was what Annubis wanted"
"Why didn't you allow Eclipse to be manifested for me?" Crebain asked.
"There was alot to lose in your case, too many people would be hurt. I honestly didn't think you were ready for such a power, you might have been in pain, but we got over that. He would have loved to rise and do your bidding. There are alot of open wounds in your heart, but i don't think you want anyone gone for good." she explained. "you have the potential to summon him, everyone does, they all have it in them, they only have to want it badly enough and i know you dont want that power just as yet, it was Annibis' time and the beast knew it."
"So where is Eclipse right now, do you know?" Crebain asked.
"No i don't, he's maybe out prowling the night, I am not aware of his comings and goings, which is stupid since he lives in me" she replied." The darkness of the moon is the best kind for a beast of his nature. He is ruthless and heartless, he exists and fulfills his duty with responsibility, but mind you Crebain, do not try to get rid of him, or you might provoke him. Tell all this to Annubis and to all your friends and those close to you. Be careful in who you tell. While your thoughts are private and dont have to be acted upon, Eclipse will do what you wish or correct some wrong done unto you. He might even come to others around you let them decide if they need his assistance, but I want you to resist him at all costs. Your time for revenge is not yet at hand"
Crebain nodded. He understood what she said partially. Their conversation was cut short by another slow mass of cloud inching its way across the sky. He murmured goodnight to her as she faded into the bleakness.
Crebain sat there still for a while and thought about what he just heard. So Annubis released a beast, Eclipse, and Kye was gone. He believed what she had said, he never had cause to doubt her in the past and he wouldn't do it now.
Maybe the beast was a blessing and something good. After all, Kye was gone and dead. They only had the other two to deal with now. He would have to speak to Annubis as soon as he could. The night was oddly cold and quiet.
Kye was gone, but she wasn't dead, not as yet that is. This was his first kill since his release and he would savor it, every bloodcurling scream, each drop of blood and all. A silent slow darkness made its way across her bruised face, her eyes desperately searching for a glimmer of light, she would be deprived of it forever.
Eclipse did nothing in halves. The hate people had for her was strong. It resounded within the hearts and mind of all those around her. Deception was something she was good at and hate was their reply. They would all have a chance to see her struggle in desperation as her body turns a cold blue beneath his gaze. Eclipse would have a captive audience for this event.
This night he could hear the heartbeats of the other two, Sevi and Derria as they slept in fear. Their messed up minds were stained visions of a dead Kye and a haunting voice calling their names. They were next and they knew it, they could feel it. A stinging pain in the ear woke them both up to find their pillows soaked in blood, and more oozing from their ears. The terror which gripped them at that moment brought somewhat of a smile to the beast's formless face.
" The Seventh Night is almost upon you, my little hell whore, by this time tomorrow it will all be over and you will be joined by those other two hounds you keep so close to you. You've trained them well, and led them wrongly. They will pay for your deeds and you three shall spend an eternity in a cold darkness, formless, without a soul, without will, want, or feeling. It should be to your liking." Eclipse whispered to Kye in her sleep. Her pitiful figure squirmed at his voice and then seemed to lose all life.
The beast leapt up from where he sat and took to the air, rose above the clouds, spotted the dim full moon ahead, the morning star behind him, and glided to his lair to rest.
