Who: Veil and Dru(NPC demon) When: close to midnight Where: streets of Mysteria What: Veil is finally rid of the demon who destroyed his life.
Cheers and chorus of Aud lang syne would soon be filling the night but Veil was not going to be celebrating. He had caught sight of Dru and obsession was controlling him. He had rushed out through the night, leaving Tristan safely in his flat and making sure Dru didn't get the chance to go anywhere near to Felicity. Though she would always be Brooke to him. But he was now chasing the demon through the night. He had his holy sword at his side and his booted feet pounded the ground. He was determined this time. This time he would kill him. Dru was running too, he knew Veil was following him and was determined to keep in front of him for a short while. All of a sudden he turned a corner and then he was gone. He was crouched on a low rooftop watching Veil run, he laughed. Veil stopped a moment before he looked around and heard the laugh he slunk in to the shadows and then whispers, voices, shapes and shadows began to move just in the background, just out of sight. He knew it wouldn't scare Dru but it would no doubt unnerve him. Veil took a breath and took his sword in his hand and then started to concentrate. He turned himself to smoke and started to drift up the side of the wall, clinging to it and the shadows. He needed height to find out where Dru had gone. Dru narrowed his eyes. "Where are you Valentin? I know you are out there..." He stood up and looked around then down, where had he gone. "Did I upset you? You can't just chase me and hide!"
Behind Dru Veil concentrated and sunk low to the ground, the smoke hidden in the dark and shadows, but his other ability meant he could fool Dru in to thinking Veil was behind him. Making sounds of movement, hinting at a shape moving quickly from left to right. Dru turned around and reached out to grabbed Veil, only he wasn't there. "Show yourself creature!" This was good coming from a demon. "Don't hide like a coward!"
Veil, silently began to reform behind Dru who was frantically looking back and forth. He grinned as he lifted his sword and took Dru's other hand. "...coward am I?" He asked in a snarl. "I'm not the one who destroyed a beautiful, innocent womans life, twice! You destroyed the most beautiful woman ever!" He screamed. He stabbed the sword in to the severed hand and pulled it off of the end and chuckled. "Well...look what I just did." He said smiling at the demon. Dru yelled angrily. "I'd do it again too, and again and again. For as long as you live i'd do it, then i would simply take her and use her as my own." He snarled. He looked at the bloody stump, he wasn't happy, now he had no hands! he moved forward and went to kick Veil in the groin. Luckily Veil was able to let the kick go up and in to him, a trail of black smoke following the foot, soon the smoke was pulled back towards his body and he became solid around his groin again. "Bad demon!" Veil snarled and one swift movement brought his holy sword downwards and it cut easily through the flesh of the demons thigh and then the speed and force that Veil had used, went through the bone and through the other thigh as well. He spun around and stopped the sword's tip pointed at Dru. He growled, "...you shouldn't have tried to kick me!" He snarled down at him. "Would you rather I have killed you last time we met?" Dru asked after falling down on the broken legs. He knew now he wasn't going to get out of this, he hadn't been expecting a fight tonight, and was not ready for it. He knew this night was his last. "My dear sir." Veil said bowing to the demon then pierced Dru's chest, "...you should have killed me." He said forcing it in deeper and deeper until it burst out of his back, "...because I've found her again. You should have known I would never stop." He hissed, "You of all beings should know how impossible it is to not hunt her out! And I had to protect her from you!" He snapped and pulled the blade up through his shoulder and stabbed him twice more in his gut. "You know I am enjoying this...so much...and I hate you for that." He snapped as he sneered down at the blood splatters on him.
Dru writhed, it burned! "I didn't make you a killer Veil, I would never have hurt her if it wasn't for you." He grinned. Probably lying too. "Would you want our dance over so fun? It was just becoming fun." he said with a laugh, possibly a slightly insane one from the pain he was in. Veil stared down at Dru. "Lies won't save you now!" He screamed as he plunged the sword through his chest again and grabbed on to his shoulder and pulled him up, "...you made me this...because without you, I would have never lost her so brutally!" He shouted. He was shaking with the anger and hatred he was feeling right now. He started to slowly twist the sword. He hated the fact he stared in to Dru's eyes, he watched his face to know he was suffering. Relishing it. Dru growled at Veil, trying to look like it wasn't as hurting as much as it was. "I didn't make you murder all those demons Veil, that was your choice." Yes he had been wathcing him. he'd been watching both of them. "Did it hurt Valentin? Did she hurt you?" He laughed. Veil twisted the sword in a full circular motion. "...the curse is lifted from me." He snarled, "It will be lifted from her and we'll be together!" He snapped. "...and I killed all those demons with pride." He hissed. "Because killing evil like you...saves people." He said as he twisted the blade again. Keeping the holy sword in the demons body so his blood would be oozing out around it. He wondered just how much it would burn. It was burning, so much he was shaking and starting to look really weak. "And who will take out your evil? Because murder is always evil." he grinned, why wouldn't he just kill him? "Do I deny this?" He asked, kicking Dru down to the floor and on to his back, standing on his chest pulling out the sword and staring down at him. "But do not ever try to compare me to you." He said. "...there are times...it can be justified." He snapped. "You are nothing to me now!" He shouted. "You are dead...you cannot hurt her no longer." "Then kill me. Or I may find a way to do so." Dru sad grinning. In truth he couldn't hurt him now, he just wanted it to be over so the burning would stop. Veil stared at him. "I will end your suffering creature. Because I want to go to her in this hour." He growled. "...I will end your suffering because I will never be as bad as you!" He shouted as he cut off Dru's head. He shivered a moment as he tried to process what had actually happened. That he had finally done it. That he had killed him.
He looked down at the body and the blood. He hoped it would wash away or be covered by more snow. He bent down and grabbed the body and disintegrated in to nothing, becoming just smoke as the demons lifeless body did also.
He found somewhere to dispose of the body and then he was free. She was free.
He swallowed hard and rushed home to change so he could go and find her! Be with her this night!
