Soul Eaters Chapter 101
I began pacing around the room. "This is just insane. I don't understand any of it." My mind whirled with questions and the most prominent was just one word. How? The pacing and mental gymnastics did nothing to bring me closer to answers. I only had one response to my confusion. "Avamarie!" I shouted. No response. "Avamarie!" "What are you doing?" Benjamin asked uncovering his ears. "I'm calling Avamarie. She's the only one who can tell me if this is really possible." "She can't hear you," he insisted. I gave a harsh sarcastic laugh. "Are you kidding me? Do you honestly think she isn't right here over my shoulder listening right now?" Still no response came. "Avamarie! Get your ass in here now!" I screamed stomping my feet in anger. Out of nowhere a soft glow pulsated in the middle of the room. It shinned brighter and brighter until the outline of a woman was clearly visible. Well, 'clearly' was a bit of a stretch. I could still see Herb's bewildered face through t

I jerked awake when the bed I was laying in suddenly bucked me to the ground. I immediately reached for my gun before I realized with horror that I didn't have it. Before my drowsy mind fully comprehended where I left it, I was tossed to the ground again. I grabbed the nearest seat I could and pulled myself up once again. Then I held on as tight as I could so I wouldn't be tossed again. The plane was jerking side to side and up and up like it was on a roller coaster ride doomed for hell. Once I got my ears to pop and the annoying ringing to vanish, I could hear the desperate screams of the others in the group. Anger and fear rolled through me. 'We'll be fine' he said. 'I'll get us there safely' he said. I sneered in my head trying to keep myself upright so I could check on the boys. I looked over at Johnny and Marcus only to see them huddled together and screaming my name. I jerked myself across the tiny aisle between us and wrapped my arms around them as if that was all it would t

I raced up to the cockpit my moment of relaxing and feeling victory gave way to a pounding heart that was threatening to burst. The sun had just barely begun peaking up over the horizon illuminating the tall building of a vast metropolis area."Where the hell are we?" I asked in panic. "From the barren landscape, I'm not an expert, but I'd say… Texas." I guess there was a bright spot to this shit-icicle, I thought sardonically. "How is this plane flying?" I quizzed."I managed to find the autopilot," she said proudly. "Okay… so why don't you… TURN OFF THE AUTOPILOT AND PULL US UP?" I screamed unable to understand how she couldn't see the obvious solution. "I TRIED!" she shouted back. "But apparently it's not as 'point and click' as turning it on was.""Try again," I demanded. Cynthia flopped down in the pilot seat with a puff of exasperation. She quickly began fiddling with the buttons and cussing under her breath. I jumped into the co-pilots seat to help as the building began

Erin looked very pale and there was a slight bruising around one of her eyes. "What happened to you?" I asked her. "I smacked myself in the face with the armrest," she said holding it up. "It broke loose when the wing went through the tail end of the plane." I rushed out to the boys to find them both sitting up in the seats still holding onto each other. Johnny was the first to get to me since the minute Marcus stood up his legs gave out. I sat on what was left of the floor and held them both to me. "Mommy, is this almost over with? I'm tired of being scared," Johnny admitted quietly in my ear sniffling back tears. "Yes, baby, this is almost over. I'm so proud of you both. You guys are being so brave," I whispered to them not even bothering to hold back my tears. Benjamin's legs bumped into me as he got up. I glanced up in time to see him rush out the back of the plane and promptly vomit… again. "Oh… my… god," I said as I looked over at what was once the tail section. "Oh m
Soul Eaters Chapter 105
We swerved and burst through the open door seconds before the Eaters were on our tails. I didn't know where I found the strength, but I managed to slam the door shut in their faces. But our victory was much too short lived, we barely had a moment to breathe before the windows shattered and several of the creatures fell into the room getting instantly trampled by the ones behind them. Benjamin lifted his shot gun and fired at three of them then he helped a recovered Erin back to her feet. She grabbed a gun out of the back of Benjamin's pants and began her own barrage of bullets. "Let's go!" I shouted grabbing at them. We fled through the building and spied a large metal door that would surely stop all of them long enough to let us get away. We sped through it and then leaned our bodies against the door to hold it shut as the Eaters proceeded to bombard it again. I leaned against the fence to catch my wheezing breath while trying to find some sign that Cynthia had passed this way
Soul Eaters Chapter 106
Keeping her chin tilted down, Erin kicked and punched at the Eater that was trying to pin her down. The blows that Benjamin was delivering were strong enough that it would have knocked a normal man out. He would have succeeded with the Eater as well if it wasn't for the last one finally making its move and in the process of trying to crawl on top of him it pinned his legs down.As dire as the situation was it gave me the perfect opportunity to move. I kept myself low and, in a flash, I had the pipe in my hand. Without a second thought I slammed the metal rod into the third Eaters legs. There was a very audible crack as the bone gave way to the metal. The Eater went down hard, but I didn't wait around to see what happened next. I raised the rod and went after the next one hitting it in its stomach with a perfectly aimed blow. It rolled off Benny caught off guard since its entire attention was centered on getting his soul. Benjamin rolled up swiftly then grabbed the Eater before it coul
Soul Eaters Chapter 107
"Where's Erin?" I asked Benjamin. He pointed to the fire escape. She was standing on the stairs looking up. "They began to climb on top of each other to get to her. Kind of like a Soul Eater ladder; it was creepier than hell. So, I pulled her up and we ran." He shook his head with bemusement at the creature's tenacity. "Here," he said suddenly picking a large knife off the floor by the door. "Looks like one of the Eater's must have dropped this." I took it gratefully and tucked it away. I had a sick feeling that I was going to need it very soon. "Erin and I are gonna make our way downstairs to try to close the door. You keep looking around up here and see if you can spot Cynthia," he said waving Erin in the building. I watched them descend the stairs apprehensively as we all went off on our own hoping they had stay safe. Although by the looks of it, they worked well together. It shocked me how grown-up Benny had become. It looked like years had tacked on their wear and tear in

He nodded at me and grabbed Benny's hand his obedience for me rather than her enraged her even further sending her two steps closer to the edge. She snapped her fingers at him as if he was a dog. "Get over here. I told you she's not your mommy I am, and you will not listen to her anymore." I took a step closer to her hoping to draw her attention back to me. But she was lost in the picture of herself that she was trying to paint for all to see. "These boys," she chuckled breathlessly. "They just don't listen to their mommy. Ever since you left, I've been trying to tell them I was their real mommy, but they didn't listen. Guess, I'm just gonna have to punish them and make sure they know. Then get rid of Benny and Erin, of course. They both have been in my way when I try to discipline the boys." She gave Benjamin a cruel smile and tsked a few times. "Can't have that now, can we?" Johnny whimpered and hid his face in Benjamin's side holding him tighter understanding the threat that wa

Soul Eaters Epilogue
The sunlight shined through the gossamer curtains and hit my face. I awoke gently, blinking several times as my eyes tried to adjust to the light. As the window became clearer and clearer, I couldn't place it. I sat up trying to remember where I was. "Vicki?" said a deep voice from behind me. I turned and behind me were the sleep hazed eyes of my husband. Everything hit me at once and I began to shake. He wrapped me in his arms as he had done every morning since our return. We got back to that tiny shore side town to find Craig, Erin and Marcus had been waiting for us at the edge of the pier. They had greeted us like heroes, and I hadn't been able to stop holding Marcus or checking him over to make sure he was okay. Other than the rope burns he seemed physically okay. There was a haunting look in his eyes, but he refused to talk about what had happened while he had been an Eater. I had been forced to let it go after a while, but not before I made him promise to talk to me when

I laid the ruby on the ground and brought the solid rock down on it as hard as I could. The ruby shattered instantly and the shockwave from the power being released hurled me back to the ground again. A bolt of light shot to the sky and little lights sped out of it so fast that it looked like one light if you weren't as close to it as I was. Souls. I thought. Souls were being freed. They streamed at light speed towards the sky and as soon as they touched the storm they shot off in all directions. So many souls that the sky began to light up like it was noon instead of almost midnight. The roar of the souls leaving their prison was so loud you could hear it for miles. A loud scream from the circle snapped me out of the hypnotic state that the light show had put me in. She was beating against the field still, but this time it wasn't it anger it was in fear. "Let me out! Let me out! She's gonna kill me! Help! Help!" she screamed frantically. I jumped up to go help her, but Jenevive

Avamarie gradually stood up and wiped the blood off her mouth as she chuckled weakly. "You're right, Mother. You did teach me to duel, and I never did defeat you," she said softly. I watched her closely my gut telling me she was up to something. My gaze flew between the two women trying to figure out what was happening. Avamarie couldn't be giving up that easily. Jenevive was indeed enormously powerful, but it was becoming obvious that Avamarie was truly quite powerful in her own right. Movement behind Jenevive caught my eye. A large boulder that had come out of the ground began to quiver then slowly float up. I glanced over at Avamarie trying to see how she was doing it. One finger was lifting, but the hand was pressed so tightly to her side that from where Jenevive stood she wouldn't be able to see. "Look out!" I screamed. Jenevive spun around just in time to be plowed over by this boulder. She flew across the clearing until she landed brutally on the ground, bouncing once

"You had everything inside you to make it here. And look you did," she finished with glee.Her reasoning's were horrifyingly simple, terrifyingly easy. She used me plain and true, and I had made it so easy for her to manipulate me."If you hadn't meant for me to save the world, then why did you give me this stone that would save me and keep me safe?" I asked angrily throwing the shards from the stone at her feet.She bent over slowly and picked them up petting them tenderly as if they were the sweetest flower, she had ever seen. She looked down at them with a strange curiosity that held a tinge of regret in her eyes."I gave it to you so that you could bring it back here. I knew Mother would never give me this stone and it was the last piece I needed to complete the spell. A pure soul for sacrifice," she said softly. Then fury boiled up as she turned it on me. "But you! You, selfish bitch! You couldn't help yourself. You had to use it on every bleeding soul that you came across, didn'
Soul Eaters Chapter 120
In anger and disbelief, I confronted her. "NO! You're lying! It is you! You killed your own daughter! You sacrificed her to seal your pact with the Daemon!" I yelled at her. She dropped her head and I nodded at the acknowledgement of her guilt. "You're right. I killed my own daughter," she admitted despondently. I straighten my shoulders feeling justified in my anger. She was trying to mess with me to keep me from my goals. Well, she would have to try harder than that. By the end of the night, I was going to have my children back. "But not for the reason you think," she interrupted my thoughts. "And you have no reason to trust me, but I sacrificed her in hopes that I could save her before she finalized the pact with the Daemon. What I didn't know was that in doing so I, myself finished it. Because I took the last piece of good that was in her and sealed it in a stone known as the Black Star Sapphire." She pulled a necklace from under her dress and showed me a stone that was
Soul Eaters Chapter 119
The dusk was approaching harsh and rapidly when I dropped in front of a tree wasted. Panting, thirsty and starving. I was lost and had long ago ran out of will power to keep going. My body itself was refusing to keep walking. I had been coaching the exhausted lump of skin for the last few hours just trying to keep going and now my feet finally gave out on me leaving me sitting against the tree. The little nudge inside of me had grown into a constant tightness of the gut. I knew I was getting close and didn't want to give up. Looking around I tried to spot something anything that looked familiar to me. I pulled up the image that Avamarie had given me in my dream trying to find a clue. The cabin was desolate and run down. The area looked like a million other areas that were in the forest. The only thing that stood out was a few odd wooden wind chimes.Wait… wind chimes. Immediately I closed my eyes and tried to slow my breath so that my pounding heart didn't override every other soun

We waited until we were far away from the shore before beginning to bombard Gerard with questions. "How did you find us?" Was mine. "Why did you come back?" Benny asked viciously. Gerard raised an eyebrow at him. "You're welcome," he replied sarcastically. "Something told me that you guys needed me. So, I found the nearest non-crushed rig and following the carnage. You guys left a lot of banged up rigs behind." He gave a short chuckle as if he could see the image of the wreckage in his head. "Where is everyone else?" he asked changing the subject abruptly. Benjamin and I looked at each other hoping the other would tell the story not wanting to verbally rehash it. I couldn't think of Marcus laying tied to that bed thrashing around reaching for someone to try an ease the hunger inside of him. Just the thought of not wanting to think of it brought the image to mind and my breath left my body in a whoosh as if I had been struck in the gut. "I left him," I whispered heartbrokenl
Soul Eaters Chapter 117
The Eaters let out a scream rocking the walls then went straight for Craig and me. I tucked my head down around Marcus' shoulder waiting for the hands to grab me. Two loud thuds then nothing. My ears were ringing making it hard to hear anything more than the pounding of my heart over them. An eerie silence reached me when my ears finally opened again. Glancing over my shoulder into the room I found Benny standing there staring at us with a smoking gun in his hand. Erin stood next to him gripping his arm tightly and horror darkened both of their gazes. Marcus was making clicking noises in my ear and then I heard a response in my other ear. Panic consumed me as I struggled to get free realizing that Craig had been turned as well. Something slammed into the front door before any of us could make a move to free me. It slammed over and over again until we could all hear the wood on the door splintering. "Get him off her," Benjamin order Erin before booking it out of the room. Erin
Soul Eaters Chapter 116
"Let me take Marcus," Craig offered. I gave him a grateful look and traded him. Johnny jumped on me wrapping his little arms around my neck with a strangled grip and I felt the wet rain of his tears. My own silent answer fell from my face as I walked behind Craig watching him carry my screeching Soul Eater son in his arms. I felt like a failure, worse than I had when I thought I had lost the world to this epidemic. I had failed to keep my son's safe and now one had been turned. Benjamin opened the door as he saw us approaching. "Oh shit," he whispered. Erin popped out the door with a smile of greeting until she saw Marcus. "Oh, God! No!" she cried racing towards us. "Stop!" Benjamin demanded grabbing her to keep her away from us. She spun in his arms and hid her face against his chest sobbing. Craig pushed passed them and took Marcus to a little room in the back of the house. "What happened?" Benny demanded. I had to swallow several times before I could speak and even
