Patron part 7
Previously: Chroias, Nefret and Mozenrath have had many adventures: a fight with Aladdin, Nefret and Xerxes were banished, but brought back one way or another, Nefret had been knocked into a coma for a while, Mozenrath had twins with Chroias (Tristram and Zakurum), And Zakurum found his first crush, Domdi. But Domdi's genie mother Eden didn't like the situation to much. After a thrilling fight Moze and Co. come out victorious and Zak stays with Domdi (for now at least) Mozenrath, Chroias, and Nefret return to the Citadel hoping for some peace (muhahahahaah)
Disclaimer: Mozenrath, Xerxes, Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, Abu and Carpet are property of Disney. Chroias belongs to Kalynnn Osburn. Nefret and Anubis are mine. Rated Pg for suggestive content. Much thanks goes out to LuLu who so kindly suggested both the plot and character for the next story line about the assassin Nemisis! It was fun to mix things up a bit with outside help and fresh ideas :D While both Chroias and I drew up Nemisis's physical description, since she can into being through LuLu the character ultimately belongs to her. Enjoy the exciting new story!
Chapter 93 (by me)
A deep sigh registered from the dark
throne of Hades. Nemisis raised an eyebrow than flipped her pride and joy, her
hair. It was a mix of colors, starting from a golden yellow at the bottom, than
going thorough the gamete of oranges and reds till it was pitch black at the
roots. ‘Flame colored hair’ was never so literal.
“And the problem would be?” Nemisis asked after Hades grudgingly explained the situation.
“The problem is” Hades growled “that that damned cocky sorcerer defiled my only daughter than saddled her with twin havlings! That is now what I had in mind for her!!!!”
“What’s done is done. Not even you can do much about the twins now. Besides, I’m guessing she’s happy with them.”
“I am her father I know what’s best for her. It is true there isn’t much I can do about the twins but…….. their father on the other hand…” He leaned forward and gave the woman a wicked grin.
“I see.” Nemisis gave an equally wicked grin. “What ever you wish my lord.”
“Oh and Nemisis, try to be discreet this time.”
Chroias lay awake very late that night, or maybe early the next morning (they had lost track of time) looking at the half asleep Mozenrath. Her eyebrows flexed worriedly.
“Hey” she shook him awake and he groaned groggily. “Do you feel alright?” He only grumbled in response. “Huh, I feel like something is wrong.”
Mozenrath suddenly pulled her down. “Don’t you DARE say that!”
Nefret was asleep with Anubis resting his head on her side. The hound suddenly sat up and gave a little growl. “Shut up!” Nef moaned and pulled the pillow over her head.
Chapter 94 (by Kalynn)
Nemisis yawned as she landed in the
citadel. “Well well well. Nice digs.” she murmured. Her hair trailed out
behind her as she walked the corridors. She looked about with pure black eyes
and giggled as she smelled something. “To bad
all demons smell like brimstone.” she let out another maniacal giggle and
floated up the stairs.
Nefret heard Anubis
start growling at the door. His ears were pressed against his head in a
dangerous fashion and he jerked his head in odd ways. “Anubis settle down.”
she said gently. A sudden crash echoed in the halls. “Anubis.”
Nefret leaped out of bed. The door opened just in time for Nefret to see
a shadow disappear down the halls. “Roias!”
she yelled suddenly. This whole thing gave her a bad feeling. “Mozenrath.”
Nefret called louder as she knocked on their door.
She was rather
surprised when Mozenrath opened the door, wearing a very revealing black robe
and gave her a dark look. “Yes.” He growled out as though Nefret had
interrupted something very important. “Is there something you would like?”
Nefret pointed down
the halls. “I saw something.” She said feeling rather stupid at such a
childish statment.
Mozenrath growled
and he began to close the door. Just then a sharp yelp tore down the hall.
Nefret didn’t wait for Mozenrath or Chroias. She ran to her room only to find
a blood covered Anubis whining for her help.
Mozenrath and Chroias raced down the
hall after the retreating shadow of Nefret. By the time they saw her again she
was kneeling over the bloody form of Anubis. The hound’s whines of panic had
been soothed by the presence of his master and her comforting words, but nothing
could soothe the pain.
“Who did this?” Mozenrath seemed to ask to no one in particular. “You said you saw something?” He knelt next to his minion. She nodded a yes. “Than come on, we have to go find it, leave him here for now.” He tugged at her shoulder as he got up.
“NO!!! No, I’m not leaving him! Not when he’s hurt. I’ve had Anubis since I was 6, nearly 11 years!!! I’m not leaving him in his dyeing hour!” Nefret slapped Mozenrath’s hand away.
Chroias gathered the dog in her arms, careless of the damage to her nightgown. “Anubis will be just fine. You know I have tricks up my sleeve.” Chroias stated as the green smoke rose around them. The group appeared again in the master bedroom of the Citadel. Anubis was set on the bed and Chroias went to the chest. “Remember these?” She waved a bottle of golden liquid in front of Nef.
“The Phoenix tears!! I had completely forgotten.” Nefret threw her arms around the demoness. “God, now I know why I love you like my sister!”
Mozenrath nearly choked at the sentiment. “Is someone forgetting the dog?” the sorcerer made a disgusted face at the sappy scene. Both girls snapped back into serious mode. After a few moments of mumbled words and movements on Chroias’s part, Anubis let out a happy cry and jumped off the bed.
“I tell ya, if you were available more often mummification would go out of business!” Nefret cracked, she was back to her old self, just like her pet.
“We may all need a few more of those tears if we don’t find who did this.” Mozenrath reminded the girls.
“Who says you have to find out?” A voice from behind made them all jump. “Like it’s a big mystery. I’ll tell you the answer!” Everyone turned around to the owner of the voice. Chroias’s eyebrows furrowed in slight reconization. “It was ME!” The flame haired demon announced proudly.
Chapter 96 (by Kalynn)
Chroias
felt her rage enter. Nefret stood back in shock at the low, venomous growl that
escaped her lips. “Nemisis.” she hissed. Chroias’s claws suddenly seemed
to grow larger and her tail twitched in a deadly fashion. Her teeth began to
lengthen and her horns grew. “What are you doing here?” she snarled in a
voice Nefret didn’t think her capable of.
“Oh nothing,
chaos disorder, malfunction.” She shrugged. “The usual.”
“In other words
my father sent you.” she snarled and made a deadly swipe at the other demoness.
“Get down here and fight like a real demon.” Chroias snarled as Nemisis
climbed higher in the air.
“Nananan. Come
and get me!!!!” She called in annoying voice from up in the rafters.
Chroias snarled
again and looked at Mozenrath with his gauntlet blazing. “No!”
She
shouted and clutched his hand. “This is a demon battle. You aren’t allowed
to interfere.” she told him and looked at Nefret. “You might want to have
your dagger ready. Nemisis is a little bitch, but her aerial tactics are some of
the best.” Chroias concentrated and shocked Nefret even further as two bat
like wings broke through her skin. “Back in a flash.”
As she launched
herself into the air, Nefret could have sworn she heard the demoness say ‘I
hope.’ Nefret turned her attention to a worried looking Mozenrath. “She’ll
be ok.” Nef tried to assure him.
“Of course
she’ll be ok!!!” He said as though trying to convince himself of it. “You
weren’t around when she had to pull me out of Tarturus. Chroias can handle
herself. Again Nefret heard ‘I hope.’
Chroias
entered into the maze of the rafters and landed gingerly on one. Using all her
demon senses she tried to find which dark corner Nemisis was hiding in.
‘Nothing, nothing, no.’ her instincts told her as she looked around.
‘BEHIND YOU!’ But it was a bit to late. Nemisis plowed into the green haired
demon sending her off the beam. Roais turned around in midair and grabbed for
the other demon before she could get away. Nemisis was caught by the ankle but
fought to gain height. She succeeded in pulling away, but Chroias left several
deep gashes in her skin.
Mozenrath and Nefret both stood below looking up. Suddenly Mozenrath
pulled Nefret to one side and out of the way of a thick dark sticky substance
dripping down from the rafters. Nefret looked at it with a scrunched up nose.
“Demon blood.” Mozenrath explained.
“But who’s?” Nefret looked back up into the dark rafters. “I’ll
be right back.” Nefret suddenly disappeared out the door. Mozenrath did little
to stop her.
Chroias looked at the black eyes of Nemisis smiling down at her, she made
a come-and-get-me gesture. Both demons gave a determined face and raced at each
other in a deadly game of chicken. Neither of them pulled back and the two meet
in a clash of powers. Chroias’s green powers mixing with the red energies of
Nemisis, lighting the room in a strange color.
Nefret return caring a cocked crossbow. She took aim at the evil demon.
“What do you think your doing?” Moze forced her to lower it. “She said not
to interfere! I know it’s hard to just sit and watch, but we have to have
faith in Chroias. She’ll beat that bitch!” He assured her as Nefret
surrendered the cross bow to him.
Up in the rafters Nemisis’s ears perked. “Bitch?!” She yelled, and
before Chroias could stop her the made a buzz dive at the Sorcerer’s head.
Instinctively Moze raised the crossbow in defense and fired it almost
blindly. Luckily the arrow imbedded into her left wing. Nemisis’s torso
snapped back, following with the arrow, her feet swung up kicking Mozenrath in
the face. He fell back and the crossbow skittered to Nefret. Nemisis fumbled a
bit as she was pinned to the wall by the arrow through her wing. Nefret quickly
reloaded the crossbow and shot another arrow at the demon, driving her right
wing into the wall. Nemisis now stood plastered to high on the wall like some
bizarre butterfly on display. Chroias grinned.
Chapter 98 (by Kalynn)
Chroias
landed besides Nefret and gave her a slightly harsh look. “You shouldn’t
have interfered.” she said and added a smile to show she was thankful.
Mozenrath gripped her arm suddenly and looked worriedly at the slashes. His face
turned a cold anger as he stared over at Nemisis, a bright ball of blue black
magic flared at his hand and he sent it barreling toward her.
“No!” Chroias
shouted deflecting it just in time. “I may just be guessing here, but daddy
dearest sent you didn’t he?” Nemisis
glared at Chroias with her blue eyes. “So what if he did?”
“That would mean
my father is still pissed at Mozenrath for wanting and sleeping with me.”
Chroias growled out.
“THAT AND
IMPREGNATION.” Nemisis shouted out. “He’s a mortal!! He isn’t worth
being allowed to lie with you in bed!!! It’s an insult to all Demon kind!!”
Nemisis snarled as her thin lips drew back into a grimace. She had an overly
thin frame and face, but was surprisingly string considering it. “Hades is
pissed at HIM not YOU!!”
“Daddy wants to
control my life!!!” Chroias shouted out as loud as her voice would go. “I
swore to him once that I would be a coin to no god’s treasure hold...”
“So you choose a
man’s?!!” Nemisis laughed.
“Not that I blame you, he is adorable.” she gave Mozenrath a callous wink.
Suddenly Nemisis ripped her wings from the arrows. Before she could be stopped,
Nemisis grabbed Mozenrath around the neck. “Tell you what, you love this
little sorcerer so much, come and get him!” She let out a low hard laugh.”
Better watch out, you know how I love to have fun with my men!” She planted a
biting force kiss on Mozenrath just as Chroias screeched out in blood anger.
“Come and get me!!!!” Nemisis disappeared in a ball of bright purple flame.
Nefret picked up
her cross bow and managed to fire a shot into the flames. “Damn
“Just one
place.” Chroias said covering up the bloody gash in her arm “Delcurum”
“Delcurum?”
Nefret said in confusion.
“Yes it’s a
place in the tropics. Very hot and Nemisis’s favorite hang out.”
Nefret nodded and
then brought up a question. “What donyou think Nemisis will do to
Mozenrath?”
Chroias turned and
looked at her dear friend. “Let’s just say she has the idea of taking it
where she can get it.” Chroias felt her eyes grow hot and glow bright red.
“If she tries any of her seductions on my Mozenrath......” Chroias launched
a bright green fireball at a wall, incinerating it instantly.
Nefret sighed.
“Can you get us to Delcurum?” she asked.
“Yes. But I have
a friend were going to need.” Chroias conjured up a ball of green magic and
let it light the floor. An odd dog like shape gathered and began to materialize
in front of them. “The only one who can smell out Nemisis’s stink. Cerebus,
the female gaurdian of Hell’s gates!”
Nefret stared as a
three headed wolf like dog sniffed at her and let out a low growl.
Heat
was something both girls were used to. Chroias lived either in hell most of her
life, and Nefret had spent most of her live under the Egyptian sun. But Delcurum
was getting to both the girl. The demon tugged through the foliage as Nefret
followed behind wiping the sweat from her brow.
“At least the desert is dry!.” Nefret grumbled swinging angrily at
the wisps of humidity.
“If you want a break try riding Cerebus.” Chroias joked. Nefret gave
a look that made it clear she was in no mood for joking around. Chroias nodded
in understanding. The hellhound caught a whiff of something and pulled more
heavily on the chains Chroias held. “Alright, I think we’ve got
something.” She looked over to Nefret who was nervously tapping the hilt of
her dagger against her leg. “Nervous?”
“Me? No, no. I’m fine.” Nefret was too transparent and she knew it.
Chroias laughed along with Nefret, but they were broken off by a sharp growl.
“Chroias has always a bit wild, a thorn in Hades side. He tries his
best, but sometimes when she screws up it’s time to….. help rectify it.”
Nemisis ran a claw over Mozenrath’s neck playfully. “Sleeping with a
mortal?! I understand her though. I mean, if I had to choose between my daddy
and YOU, I’m not exactly sure if I could stick to my guns. You must be special
for her to throw her upbringing to the winds. I might just have to experiment to
find out what it’s all about.” She gave a cat like grin and strutted by the
little steamy pool and sat down. Mozenrath growled but sat still, he had no idea
where he was. He would have to wait for Chroias to get there to even the odds.
Then he would rip out this woman’s throat!
A sudden bark ran out. Nemisis shot to her feet. “They’re here
already? Did that damn girl bring her dog?” The three-headed hound burst out
of the trees ready to pounce on it’s pray. Cerebus had the scent of Nemisis,
and it was driving her wild. Her target was so close! Chroias couldn’t stop
her as she slipped the collar and lunged at demon, seizing he in her massive
teeth and shaking. The all was still and the dog let go. All gathered around the
limp form of Nemisis.
“Somehow I thought it would be harder than that.” Moze mumbled as the
body slipped off the bank and into the pool.
“Oh it’s not over yet.” Chroias warned in a deep voice. “Take
cover!” She pushed them behind a rock.
The water burst
into a mushroom cloud and Nemisis appeared on top if it high in the air. But
Nemisis’s chewed body was still floating in the waters.
“Ok, I’m
officially confused.” Nef looked to Chroias as she always did in these
situations.
“Cerebus killed
her physical body. Some demons can wear bodies like clothes, they’re easily
replicable. That,” She pointed the Nemisis in the sky. “is her spectral
body. Essentially her spirit. We have to kill off her spirit now. It’s going
to be much harder than her physical skin. And whatever you do, don’t let her
get back into her body. Every bit of weakness will count! Be a doll and take
this Nef.” Before she could protest Chroias shoved the reins of Cerebus into
her hands. Chroias alighted into the air to join her enemy.
Nefret noticed Mozenrath marching off the high point of the slight
mountain near the pool. “Where are you going?” Nef asked as he passed.
“To help Roais! What do you think?” he didn’t even look at her.
“What should I do?”
“Take care of the dog!” he shouted over his shoulder.
“Like hell I will!” she crossed her arms and then thought.
“Alright, I’ll make sure Nemisis can’t get back into her body. Come on
Cerebus, lunch time!!!”
Nefret
let the Cerebus chew at the remains of Nemisis’s corpse. Just then a shrill
yell that split the cave came from Nemisis’s throat. “You!!!” she screamed
and dived at Nefret.
Mozenrath moved in
front of his minion, and threw up his gauntlet. Without even a sideward glance,
Nemisis flung out her hand throwing the sorcerer to the floor. “Out of my way
fool!!!” she screamed and wrapped her essence around Nefret.
“No!!” Chroias
screamed as Nefret struggled in the air.
“Let go a me you
over grown charbroiled briquette!!” Nefret yelled and freed an arm. She began
hitting at the form trying to knock it away.
“Fool!” Nemisis
grabbed Nefret’s cheeks and forced her mouth open. “I want that sorcerer.
And one way or another I intend to get him.” She said this so low only Nefret
could hear her.
Chroias had been
concentrating on Mozenrath and letting Nefret temporarily fend for herself. Just
then she looked up and say Nemisis apparently chocking Nefret. “Get your hands
of my friend!!!” Nemisis looked up, and odd glow in her eyes.
Chroias didn’t
wait and launched a bolt of green magic at Nemisis; it contorted around the
body, making it into a hard shell like state. It fell to the ground and
shattered into a million pieces. Mozenrath caught Nefret as her body fell from
the air. She let out a low moan and immediately cuddled close to the warmth of
Mozenrath’s body.
Chroias laughed at
the embarrassed look on her lovers face. “Come on. She’ll wake up soon
enough.” Chroias opened a portal and nodded. “I’m going to go have a CHAT
with daddy dearest. You get her home safe.” Chroias moved close to Mozenrath.
“That bitch didn’t manage to???”
Mozenrath smiled.
“No such luck.” He smiled and kissed her. Nefret suddenly shifted between
the two of them and gave a short pain filled moan.
“Chroias...”
she gave a small whisper and fell back asleep.
Mozenrath waited
till Chroias had disappeared until he took Nefret home and laid her down on her
bed. “I think you enjoy cheating death on a daily basis.” he mused, fondly
knowing she wouldn’t hear him.
Mozenrath settled
down into his own bed later that night and soon felt something like female hand
touching his rear. “I take it things went all right with your father.” he
took it as a yes when the hand moved to his front thigh. Smiling, Mozenrath
turned around and began to bring the form closer. He kissed her and felt
suddenly like her lips were far colder then Chroias.
“Oh gods” he thought and tried to push away.
“Ahuhuhu!!! Not
so fast lover boy.” Mozenrath turned around to see the lighted face of Nefret,
now with glowing blue eyes instead of her human brown ones.
“NEMISIS!!!” He managed to yell out before Nemisis/Nefret caught him in a kiss and bite down.
Chapter
101 (by me)
Mozenrath
struggled to pull away, luckily the body Nemisis now possessed was a bit weaker
than her original. He pushed her away and put his hand to his mouth, feeling the
heavy flow of blood running down the edges of his lips. Nemisis seemed unphased
as she sat on the bed smiling at his shock.
“Get out of my minion, you bitch!” Mozenrath found himself slurring
slightly as his lips went numb.
“There’s only one way that will happen lover of mine. If this body
would happen to be damaged beyond all repair, I’d have to leave. Now
wouldn’t I?” she challenged as she slinked up the bed on all fours, not a
submissive crawl, more like a big cat readying to pounce on it’s pray. Never
one to leave a challenge unanswered Moze gathered his power and shot a constant
bolt at her. Nefret/Nemisis was thrown back against the wall and held in a fetal
position. “Stop…. Your…. hurting me!” the possessed Nef cried out in a
shaky voice. She sounded so convincing Mozenrath let the bolt weaken for a
moment. It was enough time for her to spring forward in a flip, no doubt using a
dance move stored in Nefret’s memory, and landed on top of him, holding his
arms down above his head. “You should have finished her off then. I might have
even let you just to see your determination. You are so soft! I like that.”
She bent down again and planted a biting force kiss on him, opening the old
wounds that had started to scab over. “You won’t do it to this one will you?
Looks like I made a good choice.”
“Says you!” He forced himself up and caught her by the throat with
crushing pressure. Nefret smiled as his grip weakened and his eyes started to
roll back. “Get out…. Of her.” He managed to whisper before he collapsed
under her, blood still trickling out of his mouth.
“Nighty night lover.” She stroked his hair lovingly with Nefret’s
tanned hand. “I think Hades will be most appreciative if he can see your
demise. Well put on a good show for him, won’t we.”
***
“I will never forgive you for this father!” Chroias growled. “Was
this meant to bring me home? Back under your control? Well it failed miserably!
You’ve lost me forever!” Her voice was full of contempt. “You should be
thankful that your plan failed. If it had been a success, I can’t even say
what I would have done.” She pivoted on her heels to leave.
“Has it?” He asked mysteriously. “Has it failed? I have a funny
feeling it’s just begun.” Hades face was unreadable. Chroias’s eyes
narrowed as she let the green smoke take her back home.
The sight that meet her at Mozenrath’s door nearly brought her heart to
a stop. Nefret sat on the bed cradling Mozenrath’s head stroking his hair
lovingly. Moze wasn’t putting up a fight. “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!”
she roared storming to the bed. She stopped when Nefret turned around, her eyes
lighting the sheets with a blue glow. “Oh my…” she managed to say.
“Welcome home Chroias. How was papa?” she shifted Mozenrath in her
arms. “I really wish I could stay and chat hun, but I have things to do. Right
lover?” She asked Mozenrath whose eyes only rolled lazily around the room.
“Bye bye.” Nef/Nemisis call out before vanishing.
Chroias screamed and launched herself just as the two disappeared in a
burst of flames. “YOU YOU........ AAAAAAAAAAA!” Chroias screamed and
launched her own fire bolt at the place were they had been. ‘Gods only know
what Nefret is having to put up with inside that body’ Chroias hung her head
mournfully.
************
Nefret was not happy. She was there. She knew she
existed inside her own mind. But the fact that Nemisis was using it to pry open
all her memories was not good. ‘Lay off. Get out of there!’
A
shrill laughing sound followed as Nemisis searched through some of Nefret’s
childhood memories. ‘Shut up brat. You have no clue how extremely interesting
some of your memories are’ The laugh continued. ‘No doubt Chroias thought it
very interesting as to how attached you were to that sorcerer.’
‘That
wasn’t me that was you, you bitch’ Lancing pain shot into Nefret’s being
she screamed and fell back into her thoughts.
Nemisis
laughed in her Nefret form. She was still carrying the limp form of Mozenrath in
her arms and he was leaning back in a subconscious state. She touched his lips
momentarily and continued to go to the meeting place. Hades would be waiting
there for her. ‘AND HE’S GOING TO BE SO HAPPY’
Chapter 103 (by me)
Hades
tapped his foot in annoyance. Suddenly the door swung open and Nemisis entered
dragging the sorcerer.
“And what the hell took you so long?”
“Costume change!” Nemisis struck a little pose to show off her new
body.
“Oh. Kinda looks familiar…. Anyone I know?” Hades watched as
Nemisis lugged Mozenrath unto a marble slab.
“Maybe, she was some girl that hung out with your daughter a lot.”
Nemisis proudly leaned against the stone bed.
“Ah, another mortal out of my way! Well, lets do this!” Hades clasped
his hands together and handed a knife to Nemisis.
“Don’t you want to do it?”
“Nah, I’d rather not have
his blood on my hands. It seems more ironic this way.” Hades explained. With a
shrug she accepted the knife and took her position over Mozenrath.
‘Oh no, your not seriously doing that.’ Nefret protested. ‘Not in
my body you aren’t. No way.’
‘What are you going to do about it? I’ll do as I wish. See?’
Nemisis, using Nefret’s body, picked up Mozenrath’s good hand and sliced
open the palm. ‘Nothing you can do about it. And there’s nothing you can do
about this either!’ Nemisis raised the knife above his heart and mumbled a few
words. ‘I’m making him my undead servant.’ Nemisis answered Nef’s
questions about the encrypted words. ‘How’s that for ironic?’
‘Chroias is sooo going to kill you.’ Nefret voiced her last opinion
as the Nemisis prepared herself.
“NEMISIS” Chroias stormed in. Nemisis sighed and turned around.
Chroias looked around, Mozenrath was moving slightly, a good sign he was coming
to, and Hades was leaning against the wall completely annoyed. “When I get my
hands on you…” Chroias took a step forward. Mozenrath moaned and rolled off
the slab, crawling rather weakly to safety.
“Ah ah ah, I wouldn’t if I were you.” Nemisis turned around to find
Mozenrath gone. With an angry growl the demon took her only other option,
holding the knife to her own, or rather Nefret’s throat. “Mozenrath, come
back here, NOW! Or else.”
Chapter 104 (by Kalynn)
Mozenrath froze in his tracks
and looked at Nemisis/Nefret. The fine dagger was at her throat and the wild,
demonic look in her eyes held no question, she would kill
Nefret.
Mozenrath gave Chroias a pleading look and she nodded in affirmation.
Moving very slowly,
Mozenrath walked back to the thing. “All right, what exactly is it you
want?” he said carefully.
“To use this
dagger to slice you throat instead of mine.” Nemisis grabbed the sorcerer and
hauled him close, again using Nefret’s lips to kiss him. ‘Stop doing
that!’ Nefret screamed out in the hollow of the mind. Her only answer was a
low laugh.
Mozenrath cringed
against the kiss, Nismisis’s presence in Nefret had turned the lips cold and
rough. It was like kissing sand paper. He struggled against the hold, surprised
that Nemisis could use such strength in this body. He could hear Chroias’s low
growling, she was not happy.
Nefret started struggling against Nemisis’s hold, trying
to ignore the taunts. She could hear Chroias growling on the outside and knew
that if she didn’t do something soon,
the sister like relationship between them might come to a nasty end. She kicked
and squirmed and fought like hell, only to listen to the Nemisis laugh.
Mozenrath took an
intake of breath when Nemisis finally let go of him. She brought out the dagger
and raised it high. Mozenrath didn’t hesitate and brought his gantlet to her
side. “Sorry Nef.” he sent a shock wave through her and listened as a voice,
half Nefret’s and half Nemisis’s, burst out.
“You son of a
bit...” Nemisis felt a punch collide with her face.
“Sorry Nef.”
Chroias commented and quickly hog-tied Nemisis/Nefret.
She snarled and
shrieked at the two while Mozenrath tried to assess the situation.
“If I had my way….” Chroias
shook her fist at her father but lowered it with a sigh. “But I have a bigger
problem on my hands. You’ll be hearing from me!” Chroias grabbed Mozenrath
and Nefret/Nemisis and disappeared back to Mozenrath’s lab, it was about the
best place to try and get this sorted out.
‘Oh, it looks like it’s over now.’ Nefret said in an annoying
sing-song voice. ‘Maybe my
assassination plot didn’t come out as well as I wanted, but they still have to
figure out what to do with us.’ Nemisis laughed sadistically.
Mozenrath leaned over Nefret. “Hey Nef, do you think you can fight your
way out?” Moze asked, hoping she could still hear.
“Ha, fat chance sorcerer. Don’t you like me better this way?”
Nemisis made a kissy face.
Nefret was starting to formulate a plan. ‘Nemisis, can we speak?’
Nefret called out. As she had hoped a tangible form of Nemisis appeared in the
little hollow of her mind. ‘It seems we’re inseparable now. I may be
stubborn, but I know when I’m beat. In exchange for my safety and comfort,
I’ll give you anything you want.’
Nemisis smiled. ‘I must admit, there are parts of your mind that are
locked up so tight I can’t even get to them. I want to know Mozenrath’s
weakness, what causes him the most pain?’
Nefret blanched knowing exactly the memory she was after. A mental
picture of a book flashed in the mind, Admittance. She shoved it aside before
Nemisis could see. ‘Ok, I’ll show you.’ Nefret whispered and the void
vanished as a landscape appeared. Nemisis stood on the Nile riverbank, a small
child stood near her, tears slipping down her face. A man appeared from off a
boat and handed the girl some bags and a small puppy. Two more men appeared
carrying a stretcher, and on it was the mangled form of a man covered
haphazardly by a bloody sheet. “Daddy!!” the young girl screamed, burring
her face in her hands. The memory filled with such a powerful emotion that it
hit Nemisis like a ton of bricks. She cried out to and tears burst from her
eyes, never has she felt such overwhelming sadness. She wrapped her arms around
herself and shook uncontrollably.
Nefret suddenly appeared near the boat and charged at the unsuspecting
demon with her hands stretched out in front of her. “GET OUT OF ME!!!!” She
cried as she hit the demon with bruising force.
Both Mozenrath and Chroias gasped as Nefret’s body suddenly jumped and
Nemisis’s spirit was thrown out. The demon looked around slightly surprised,
tears still running down her face.

Chroias
untied her friend and gave her a wide grin. "I forgive you for anything you
may have done. You just better be glad I knew it was Nemisis inside your body
and kissing Moze."
Nefret smiled.
"That reminds me." she turned her head and spat promptly onto the
floor. A small insulted noise resounded from Mozenrath. Nefret smiled and tried
not to blush.
Nemisis sat on the
floor, still bawling like a baby. She managed to shoot Mozenrath a half deadly
look and Nefret a pure look of hatred before Chroias snapped her whip around the
entity.
"See ya later,
oh and do give my regards to daddy" Chroias opened a portal and shoved
Nemisis's spirit inside.
Nefret touched her
friend and asked. "What will happen to her spirit now?"
Chroias shrugged.
"Daddy will find her a new body to inhabit." Nefret nodded and
stretched as Chroias walked over to Mozenrath. He still had a sulking expression
on his face and barely glanced up at Chroias when she put an arm about him. He
shrugged her off and retreated upstairs.
Nefret and Chroias
gave each other a worried look. Chroias waited till later that night and came
into Mozenrath's bed. "What is it?"
Mozenrath gave her
an innocent look. Chroias gave him a slight smack. "Come on what is
it?"
Mozenrath
sighed, he never could hide something from her. "I was afraid.....that I
might have lost Nef...or you" Chroias smiled and kissed him.
Mozenrath grinned. "Especially since you a much better kisser."
It was very late, probably past
midnight, but Nefret was still up. She sighed and slid back into the water even
thought she was starting to prune. It was just too warm to leave. Nemisis had
left her feeling cold and coarse. Nef picked up the sponge and scrubbed her arm
till it was red, then ran it over the mouth with a ‘bleh’ sound. She turned
around when she heard a feminine laugh.
“Mind if I come in?” Chroias stood in the doorway. Nefret shrugged
and returned to scrubbing. “You ok?”
“Yeah, just kinda cold and bit light headed.” Nef stood and quickly
wrapped a towel around herself.
“It will go away soon. Actually what I meant was, how are you feeling?
It must have been hard for you with Nemisis.” Chroias sighed to Nefret who was
behind the dressing screen.
“You have no idea! But the most annoying part was when she went though
my memories.” Nef stuck her head out from behind the screen. “She almost
found out about Destian and…. You know.” Nefret didn’t want to be blunt.
Chroias nodded in solemn understanding.
Mozenrath and Chroias sat at the breakfast table whispering lowly to each
other even though there was no one to hear them. The glint in Mozenrath’s eye
left on doubt as to the subject of the conversation. Anubis trotted into the
room and both Moze and Roias gave him an absentminded pat as he passed by on a
mission to the kitchen. A few moments later Nefret made her appearance to.
“Good morning Chroias.” Nefret plopped down across from her. “My
lord.” She acknowledged Mozenrath with unusual formality, hoping her could
forgive the whole possessed assassin thing. Mozenrath managed a little smile.
“Morning. Felling alright today?” he inquired.
“I’m feeling like myself and that’s all I really care about.” Nef joked. Just then a mumluk patrol passed by the door, the very last mumluk stopped just long enough to leer at both girls. Moze, who was turned away from the door didn’t notice. Nefret and Chroias looked at each other questioningly but brushed it off to plan what they would do that day.
