Goury sat on the cold dead ground. The rain fell in buckets washing away the blood that was streaming across his face. He was slowing inching toward death. But he didn't care. All that he cared about was the lifeless body in his arms. His best friend, his world. If only he had been faster, stronger,.. smarter. That had to be it. Everyone in his life had told him that he wasn't smart enough, that he was stupid. He absently brushed a stray red hair away from her lifeless form. He cradled her cold pale body in his arms. This wasn't supposed to happen. They fought the bad guy, had a huge battle, and they always won. That was how it was. That was how its supposed to be. Goury's vision blurred and he felt his life slipping away. He willed himself to die. He deserved it. It was all his fault that she had died. It was his job to protect her and he had failed.
A figure slowly approached the two forms. It looked coldly at a blond man ,cuddling the dead body of a young redhead, almost dead himself. Her ice blue eyes surveyed the area around her. The ground was charred for miles. It was surprising that anything was left at all. He did not look up at her approach.
What are you going to do"? she asked quietly. He didn't even glance up.
"Leave me alone, just let me die", he muttered between choked sobs.
"Coward", the women said looking down at Goury, "Your just going to let the women you loved death go unavenged."
"I...never said". Goury looked down at her still form and knew it to be true.
"But you do love her, I can see it in your eyes." Her voice took on a harsh tone. "But, your just going to let yourself die, take the easy way out. She'll be six feet under and her murderer will be out free,living the life that she should have. That was taken away from her." She finished and looked at Goury straight in the eyes. "Coward".
A spark of life seemed to appear in Goury's eyes "I am not a coward", he replied. He may be many things, he may not be able to understand everything all the time but he knew he was not a coward. The women smiled.
"You want revenge don't you". Goury looked away.
"You do. I can give you, what you want". She opened her eyes and revealed blue slitted pupils. "Join me ...and Lina Inverse's death will not go unpunished".
Goury looked at Lina's form...if the bloody corpse could even be called Lina, and felt an anger rising in him that he didn't' think he could feel. He would avenge is best friends's death. He gathered up his last remaining strength and rose.
The lady pulled out a dagger made of pearls from her golden blue robbed. She brought it up to meet his throat.
"By the way", she said softly almost a whisper, "I'm Deep Sea Dolphin".
She plunged the dagger into his tender throat, ripping flesh, napping bone, and pouring out blood.
She looked at his still body.
"Yes, you will have your revenge. And I will have mine."
