Expcert from Lexington Herald Leader:
...And other eye witnesses claim that the green car was forced off of the highway by the darkcolored one. Still others say that after the car wreck there was a arguement between strange people and the apperance of a large black reptilain beast. While they are sketching and second hand at the moment, the reports of the crash that took place out side of sams club this afternoon, all maintain that SOMEHTING happned. We will conintue to look for clues as too these strange occurances and what they if anything mean for the city and the sourrounding country side.....
That is pretty m uch what the rest of the world saw of the incident this afternoon. Those of us that are staying here by now pretty much know the whole story.
IT was pretty simple really.. Rose and Meleficent went into town to get some supplies at sams. What no one was expecting was for The clones of our dead lifemates to show up and run them off the road on the way out of the shopping center. Scattering both thier wits and thier supplies all over the road way.
"Get out human! Get out Fairy!"
Rose sat up from where she had slammed into the seat belt on her car and looked out her window to find The dark Version of Elita standing there bearing down on her. Held frimly in the clones hand was the other clone of Steelia, in her gun form similar to meagatron's.
Rose was pakcing her own heat at this point while Meleficent geared up to use her magic.
"What do you want?" Rose demanded.
"Jsut come her to see what you really are.. to see why they chose pathetic little beings like you for thier mates," Steelia shot back.
"You miserable.." Rose trained her gunon the clones.
"What are you going to do human? Shoot me? Go on then, go on and proe that your just like your father."
that tookRose back a step and she lowered the gun, "What?"
"Prove that your a killer too, just like him." The clone of Elita purred.
Apparently someone had told them of Rose's father and that he had been in the military in vietnam. His one lingering bitterness is that rather than be welcomed home as heroes, men like him were treated like dir,leading to the feelings that maybe they were killers, and that what they tought they did for thier country .. they did because they enjoyed it.
Rose has I suppose always had a fear too deep down, shes got a temper and can have a dark streak...Shes scared that maybe her reaosns for protecting people arent altruistic maybe she likes it too.
Ive tried and tried to tellher thats the mark of a warrior, not a killer, that she knows and realizes that, means she'd never do it. Just like her father. But the dougbt is still there and this monster uses it to insinuate into her heart.
"Rose! Dont listen to them," Mele toldher. THey are just messing with your head!"
Steelie now tranformed and appeared before the fairy, "And who are you to talk? You are you to judge in any way? Youthink youve changed but its still there.. pretend youve chaned if you want but how long until your lil royal "Friend" there makes you angery? What then? "
Rose Looked up at both of them," you teo are monsters, how can you bee with Nemesis and Glavatron? They dont love you! How can you love them!?"
"We dont," The clone of elita growled, "In fact i HATE nemesis. But thanks to you lil princess and your Friend there. we just have no where else to go."
"This isnt over," Meleficent told them," Your justthings, constructs held together by darkness sooner or later, We'll find away to destroy you."
"And set whats left of the Real Elita and Steelia Free."
What happened next is a pretty easy guess.. Meleficent transformed and the girls came home.
We have since retrieved Rose's car and what was left of the supplies. BUt there seems to be something on the girls now. a niggleing of something in thier hearts about if they aremking the right choices.
Mele Sits out on the damp grass and Megatron goes out to talkto her. WHile i head off to Rose's faveorite brooding spot..finding her once again stting on the marble and thinking about life..
"are you okay?"
Rose shakes her head, "No, but i will be.. I just need to think some."
"I understand, " I sit down and put my arms around her. "I just wish i could helpyou trough this"
"I just want an answer if this is the right thing we are doing,if were on the right path. I just want to know some how.."
Just as the last of the words love the girls mouth, i hear it, a crackig sound fromsome where behind us. I suddnely stand and drag her off the marble and turn in time to see something strange.
Vectors Sword, it had been embeded intohis memorial much like the sword from the king arthur legend. I stood back and watched as the thign virbraded for a moment and then changed color, from a translucent blue and indigo, to a fiery orange and gold. It then proceeded to tear its self loose from the marble in a lurch and then comback down strking one of the words written there. "When" Crossing through it as if to leave a new message in its place.
"I am needed, I shall return."
Rose gapped and i turned to her to see if shed seen it too. Then turned back in time to watch the light leave the weapon and it colapse into the grass.
"Orion," She blinked up at me, Something in her eyes that had been there a moment ago gone,"I think i got my sign."
What this all really means? Its anyones guess.. but ive seen many stranger things in my time. I recall as i pick up the fallen weapon, and there are many places out there ive never seen, things even a Prime Doenst know.
I think things are oign to get worse before they get better. Now however i think depsite the darkness any of us may feel the doubts. I know we will keep going and and not stop until we find peace.
Prime.
