Locked past

She kept crying but didn't look at him.

She kept crying but fisting her hands up, slowly nodding only once.

he backed off and panted form the effort to hold her back and take her hits and even keeping up with her.

she kept quiet while crying but sits up not running or doing anything. Mellina just sits their looking to the ground.

i guess i failed at being you lover im sorry if i did but ill work to fix it... she didnt respond to him. but... i... i want to hear why you wont let me in? from your own mouth not a thought your voice. he wasn't trying to sound like his darkness was taking over becuase it wasnt but eh was just so happy she was back all he wanted was for things to go back to the way they used to be.

she kept crying but looking down still to her lap.

Mellina kept crying still covering her eyes with her hands a bit but turns to look away from him while looking to the water but she opens her blue eyes, looking at her reflection. Gently, she could see a small shadow figure wrapped around her like it was whispering small words into her mind, seeing her eyes still dulling out. Teh shadowed figure just hugs her more while calming her of her tears but looking at her eyes.

Maria even spoke in brandon's head a bit. 'brandon..I see a dark figure around her..something is wrong...'

he didnt see or sense it but looking into the water showed it to him. his hands shook with the urge to slash the creature off her and his will to stop his attack. how do i get it off her?

Maria was about to explain but the shadow figure looked at them quietly while thinking to see her and him before tilting it's head to the side. "you should not do that..I'm part of this female..killing me will kill her too. I'm her deeper sadness and other feelings she keeps bottled up."

"you are but why?"Maria looked at it but the figure said nothing else.

becuase im a failure of a husband... ignoring the shadow he went through it hugging her.

Mellina didn't move but grabs his shirt to flip him on his back but holding a dagger against his throat while looking quiet with her hair covering her face. Maria looked shocked but said nothing.

his eyes widen but he resigned to his fate go ahead... kill me... without you im worse than dead...

Mellina said nothing but she grips the blade in her hand but made a baby cut on his throat before standing up over him and pins him down using the dagger since she had more and gets up to walk off. Maria goes to brandon and tries to remove the blades as her daughter was walking off somewhere.

i did this to her... by doubting myself... didnt i shadow... in his hand was a part of the shadow wrapped around her and it was captured in an energy feild.

It said nothing but looked to him. "Taht is possible but..she is also gone."

"what do you mean?" her mother asked but the shadow touches the energy spear with it's hands. "She didn't want you to suffer......but hates herself so..she's given up herself to Lu."

brandon smiles and frees the shadow. then as her master and yours i order you to take me to Lu. so that i may get my wife back. brandon seemed excited like a battle was on the horizon and the thought of it being so easy as to have faith in himself to get her back pumped more of his power through his body. this time he wasn't gonna hold anything back even it he did drain his energy in a few hours of fighting

Meanwhile: Lu Cifer and his minions had a grand ceremony welcoming Mellina to his arms. the path to his castle in the human world was Long and under water. the host of demons were oddly quiet and ciilized and standing at attention awaiting their new Queen. "ALL HAIL CIFER ALL HAIL SAMIA " she had only just arrived there and the fires beside the demons turn blue black after she passed scaring them and as a direct result of her emotional state.

The demon were scared of her but Mellina just looked down at the ground while feeling the hot flames almost touching her skin but it didn't bother her till feeling Lu touching her shoulder and nuzzling against her cheek. "My lord, you should be happy you finally got the girl of your dreams.." one said but Mellina said nothing looking down.

I am. Lu smiled and guided her inside to a banquet hall with... Normal food. and i can't wait to show you the pleasures of an eternity.

Mellina said nothing but looking down while following him as she saw two demons pull out the chair for her as she sits down looking at the table.

the food was indeed normal nothing added to change her or influence her.

Brandon broke through the barrier separating the air of the fortress from the sea but didnt damage it. the demons fought to kill but he flashed by them all in an instant knocking out the weaker ones and killing the stronger ones he walked throught the doo to the main banquet hall and had that same smile on his face MELLINA! COME HERE! NOW! IM HERE TO BRING YOU BACK FOREVER! she felt his power and mental stae. power being he wasnt holding anything back and fully transformed ,more on this later, and mental state being oerflowing confidence in his ability and none of it was becuase of her but it was all for her. he wasnt shouting but his power and aura was reflected on to her to show he wasn't going to take no for an answer. even if he had to kill Lu to free her.

more: fully transformed meant all his powers were unlocked he had no training gear on and was at his full power, his gloden hair was long reaching his feet and his aura stained his armor gold. his armor ,being normally demonic black (like spawn: movie) but withhis symbol emblazoned on his chest was skintight and hugged his form, it was created from his demnic energies and twisted into a carapace that absorbed most forms of damage (magic being the only thing to work on it due to his kryptonian weakness against magic) his muscles were bulked and toned to perfectipn as his eins were thick ropes that pullsed with power. hie has fingerless guantlets with his symbol on them and boots that blened perfect with his armor. his belt and swaord were also there and the chain arouns his shoulders bent his skin not cutting it like normal. he had demonic claws and his eyes glowed with a rainbow fire as the air warter and fire elements themseles wrap around his body as if it were an extention of himself.

The demons looked shocked to see him their but they looked to see Lu just standing their, gently cressing Mellina's cheek. "You think she will go back with you? She gave herself up to me so she's mine....I finally got what I wanted, Maboroshi so you are not going to take it away from me." He kept touching her cheek before gently helping Mellina to her feet as she looked down more. "Besides, I think her being in my favorite colors will be better for her..don't you?" He even kissed her neck where brandon would feed hugging her but Mellina just looked down.

Lu's face was gone, then lu himself went flying into the far wall. Brandon stepped beside Lu from where he was and landed two blows to get him off Mellina. he ignored her becuase he didnt know any words to say hoa sad he was but that didnt stop him form taking all his rage ou on Lu the demons and then getting he rout of there. the horde of minions swarm like a ast sea but brandon ,without looking, parted that sea with a small but powerful energy blast killing most and detonating the bodies of the rest. he stood oer Lu's broked but regenerating body, You will NEVER touch her again. or i will raise your father from his seal and kill him, then you, than i will proceed to erase your entire family one by one. brandon shone his light directing it at mellina sharing his warmth love and confidence with her.
