The Fifth Element

Part 2 Chapter 25

"No,"! I yelled and l lunged forward and grabbed her cheeks. "Bad creepy inner me, spit it out now!" she shook her head and swallowed, before back from me. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, while I stared at her is dismay.

"Don't worry it's not gone, I'm just keeping it safe while we play. I have been waiting for you for a very long time, Violet."

Then she grabbed me by my hands and began to spin us around. Her hands felt like I was touching the ice. She turned her pale face wards the sunlight and let out a series of high pitch laughs. Up close I can see she her dress was not just black,  it looked like it had been cut from the night sky full of twinkling stars that shifted every time she moved. Her long curly black hair hung loosely down her back.

I was too stunned to say or do anything besides letting my creepy   twin spin me around and around in circles, while she continued to laugh.

After what seemed like an eternity she finally stopped spinning us and she she gave me a slow smile, but there was no warmth in it, only hunger. "I finally have you," she whispered in a  sweet menacing voice , "And now we will be together forever."

"As awesome as that sounds," I said, finally mustering up enough courage to find my voice again. "Can you maybe cough up my...our...my dad's life force. People I care about are in danger of dying, so I don't have to for whatever this is?"

Her grip on my hands tighten. "You want to leave me?" She asked. She let go of my hand and gestured around us.

"I mean kind of have to, there's a dead army needing be raised and it's kind of up to me to do it.

"No!" she snarled and I watched in horror while her eyes collapsed into her skull leaving behind two gaping holes where her eyes should've been. "I won't let you go!"

She flung her arms at me and wrapped her hands around my throat, and squeezed hard, cutting off my air. I tried to step away f
from her, but she was too strong. With escape not an option, I resorted to claw at her face, but with no eyes, there wasn't anything good to aim for.

Dark spots began to dance in front of my eyes, and she got on top of me, still squeezing my neck.
What would happen if I lost consciousness in my own mind or worse, died!?

That was not a question I wanted answered, and I began to feel around on the ground beside me. At first, I felt nothing by grass and flowers.

Come on rock, rock, rock! I thought desperately. My fingers did not find a rock, but they found something cold and metallic and thin.

Acting on some primal  instinct, I swung it up at my eyeless twin and she let out an earth-shattering shriek. Black metallic blood, lots of it, poured onto my face and I shut my eyes not wanting it to blind me.

I felt the weight ease of my chest and I could breathe again and breath I did filling my lungs sweet sweet air.

I picked myself off the ground and wiped the black blood from around my eyes. When I opened then finally, I found  Neeva standing me for me.

The wind ruffled  his black hair, while he gazed intently at my hand. I followed his gaze to find I now held a  black hilted knife. Its blade glinted in the sunlight streaming in-between the branches of the tree. Where it had come from, I did not know but I knew what I had to do with it, and I didn't like it.

"Did you just see a girl around here ? Looks Exactly like me but very creepy?" I looked around, afraid she was about to lung at me again.

"She's gone," Neeva said and I stopped my search and my eyes flew to him.
