The Coven II

[nightray]

Max

I slowly stand up week on my feet as Maxine runs in to the woods. I frown after her thinking if she never got my message then that means Aaron is most likely the one who killed her fiancé. I run up the stars to Serina’s apartment I try opining the door but I can’t feel a shield on it. I growl throwing a large magic force agenst it shattering the door and the shield. I move throw the broken door looking around carefully but Aaron is already gong. I move over to Serina unraveling the web holding her down.


Aaron

I hear Maxine call me just as I feel Max trying the door. I look down at the girl saying next time my pet. I run to a window diving out using my magic to cushion my fall. I run in to the woods looking for Maxine.

Maxine

I turned and faced Aaron, no hesitation, I knew he was the one who killed my finace all those years ago, and he was also the one to blame max. I felt rage boiling down deep inside, power from pent up somewhere began to glow brighter and brighter.
"YOU!" I pointed at him, locking him in place with my gaze. "You lied to me, you are the one who killed my fiance not Max.. And all this time you let me believe he did it. You lied to me, over and over again. Now you will pay!" With all the rage and hate I felt I sent a constant wave of pain into his gut, cursing him in all forty seven languages I knew off the top of my head, cursing him for enternity and into the next. He would never be whole again. I seen him fall to his knees before me, it not registering in my mind, if he locked eyes on me he could control me.
From inside my coat I pulled forth a 9mm gun. Aiming it, I whispered one thing, "Rot in hell!" And fired two rounds into his chest. Throwing the gun at him as he went down I stood there half laughing and half crying. I figured he was dead, I was safe.... OR was I?

Aaron

I look up in to the sky rage filling me as the pain started to ez I new it wasn’t because I was getting better but because I was dieing. I feel the gun that she used on me at me finger tips. With the last of my energy I take hold of it razing it aiming at Maxene I mange to say one last thing. “Not with out you.” I pole the trigger and the darkness takes me under in to death.

Maxine

I jerked back, a bullet ripping through my stomach and out the back. My mouth opens in a scream of pure raw pain but nothing comes out. I feel blood dripping from my lips as I fall to the ground. Laying there, I look up at the sky, gulping down the fear, the anger and the blood in one foul taste. I was dying, and I knew it. I reached with my mind, what little power I had left to say good bye to the only one I ever loved. Max.

"Max... I will be gone in a few minutes.. Be happy my brother. I ask forgiveness, though I know it isnt enough. Find happiness and Love and make many babies.. Don't tell them about Aunt Maxine.. I love you, Always have Loved you brother. As family and as More. In...... In my trunk in my apartment is a gift for you.. Take it and be happy."

The money I had saved all these years was in that trunk, over 3 million easily.. It would help him be comfortable in this life..




I tried to breath in a few times, but found I couldn't catch my breath. Slowly my heart stopped and my eyes closed for the last time.. Maxine was finally dead and gone, and the smile on her face made it all look alot better.

Serina

I watched, trembling as Max rid me of the bonds. I sat upslowly and threw my arms around his neck "Thank you Max. I-I thought you were dead. I was so worried about what would happen..." It was just then I realised how tightly I was holding him and let go. "I'm sorry Max...guess I got a little carried away. We should really go find Aaron and Maxine...make sure they aren't headed for Lizzie." I held his gaze for the moment wondering if he was ok, he looked so worn out.

"Max?....What is it?" I asked him softly. Feeling very uneasy about the look on his face.

Max

I stand pain ripping in to me as I feel the built hit Maxine I yell with pain and hoarer as I hear her last wards to me in my mined and then nothing. I fall to my knees tears running down my chicks as I begin to cry. I manage to say throw my sobs she’s dead my sister is dead.

Serina

I climbed down off the bed and knelt before him. I had been startled by the sudden out burst and tried to put it together when I heard his words. She was gone? Dead? but how...?

Wrapping my arms around him I pulled him close to me. I knew how badly I thought Maxine was nuts but I could sence how he felt for his sister.

"I am so sorry Max...it shouldn't have ended this way. Please tell me how I can help you, I am hear if you need me." I said no more than that ,just held him and tried my best to make sure he didn't feel totaly alone. My hands moved to caress his face, fingers gently wiping away his tears. I pressed my lips to his softly then pulled back to look at him.

"Max....do you know where she is? I will help you..let's go take care of her body. Give her a proper burial." I didn't know for sure but thought it might help him. He and only he had seen the good in Maxine, therefore it was understandable why he was so very sad. I stood and went to my closet and pulled on a summer dress. Slipping on my sandals I walked back over to where he knelt on the floor and took both of his hands in mine. "Shall we Max?..."

Max

I take Serina's hands slowly standing up trying to control my sorrow. I walk out side still holding her hand as I look for her body. I finely fined her laying a little ways off form Aaron. I kneel beside Maxines lifeless body looking in to her peaceful face my tears falling on her chicks as I lean down kissing her good by gently on the mouth. I then slowly pick her up and carry her deeper in to the woods until I fined a clearing.

I lay her down in the medial of it arranging her arms and lags before step back. I take Serina’s hand in mine agene as I concentrate saying some guttural wards. With a flash of blinding white light Maxiens body is turned in to ash that the wind slowly blows away.

I look at the charred patch of ground where she was and I feel the tears begin to fall once agene. I fall back to my Knees poling Serina with me. I fall in to her comforting arms sobbing uncontrollably. I manage to say “I can’t believe she is gown for good this time.”

Serina

Sitting there on the ground holding him tighly I was at a loss for words. I had never in my life felt a loss such as this and didn't know what I could say. I sighed "I know it probably doesn't help much Max but.....I'm sorry. If there is anything I can do...I would be more than happy to."

I pulled him closer with one arm while my other hand ran through his hair. This had been quite an evening, one that neither one of us would forget, in so many ways.

Max

I look in to Serina’s eyes as she asks if there is any thing she can do. I force my self to stop crying and finely say “Could you live with me for a wile I can teach you how to control your magic. I’m not sheer I can stand living alone right now.” I look at the chard earth fitting another bout of tears. I chuckle sadly saying “not to mention that I trashed your apartment fighting that punk.” I look up in to her eye’s waiting for her answer hoping she’ll say yes.

 

[Shoty98]

Serina

I felt a sadness over come as I took in the deep sorrow within his eyes. Thinking about his question, I wondered for a moment if I could really say no. I wanted to learn about my powers, learn to control then and he was the right person to teach me. Far be it from me to argue with him on the livibilty of my apartment, I saw what kind of shape it was in.

"Yes Max....I will stay with you....it would be my pleasure. I would be greatful if you could teach me and would love to fill your life...."

I smiled down at him and brushed my lips gently over his. I don't know if he felt the same spark I did, but maybe over time he would heal and something more would come between us. I held him in my arms for sometime comforting him.

It wasn't long after we were back at his place, the motorcycle ride calming us both. I took him to bed and laid down beside him and just held him to me.
