She is no longer Morningstar. Forced to morph into her natural form, Urantia Of Darkness rises behind her little sister. Her face is blank of all expression, she shows no emotion what-so-ever as she bites down hard into Darkness Of Shadows soft warm exposed neck. Quickley grabbing Darkness hands, Urantia locks them into and unbreakable embrace.
Darkness head falls back on her sister's shoulder. Her mouth opens in a silent scream of rage. Her body goes ridget as she tries to break the hold, knowing deep down in the far, dark corners of her mind, that it is futile to bother doing so. But Darkness refuses to believe that Urintia will take her life. Even as she feels her blood leaving her body. Even as she feels her warmth growing cold from the inside out. Even as she feels her heart's rapid pulsing start slowing down. Even as she feels her sight growing glazed, barely able to focus. Darkness refuses to believe.
Darkness Of Shadow's body goes limp in her arms. Lifting her mouth from her little sisters neck, Urantia of Darkness cries out in rage. The rage of having to take the life of one of her own. The life of her blood kin, the life of her most believed sister, even though they had become enemies, they were still blood. Urantia glares at Lord Viper Of Orc, wanting to turn here hatred onto him, but she can never hate him. Nor can she bring herself to hate Lady Of The Night, for she is an innocent in all of this treachery. Laying Darkness softly down on the cold tower floor, Urantia stays on her knees. She looks at Lord Viper, who is still holding the unconscious slave girl.
"You should get her to Lord White Hawk, he has the power to heal her." She says to him, her voice betraying none of the turmoil he knows she is feeling.
"What will you do Urantia?" He asks, looking from her to the lifeless body of Darkness Of Shadow. He feels no pity for Darkness, she choose the path of death long ago.
Urantia looks at him and smiles sadly, as she caresses her sisters face. "What I must to keep all of us alive."
"I do not understand Urantia. Why did Darkness go after Lady?"
"Because Lady got in her way. Lady has captured the heart of Lord White Hawk. Even though I was Darkness intended target, Darkness could not bring herself to take my life. When you arrived, I knew it was just a matter of time before I would have to become Urantia Of Darkness once again. Darkness got caught up playing a game of cat and mouse that she knew she could never win. Lord White Hawk built a special room for Lady, close to his private rooms. That pissed Darkness off, she felt he was no longer showering her with his constant attention, like he did when they first met." She Grins at him.
"And we know Darkness." He replies, looking at the once beautiful blonde creature who befriended himn so long ago and introduced him to the woman he fell in love with. The real Morningstar Rising, now dead five long years, how he has missed her beautiful smile and her rich laughter.
"Darkness wanted Lord White Hawk to herself. She figured she would eleminate Lady and then she could have him all to herself once again." Urantia brushes her sisters hair away from her face. "Its funny Viper, Darkness died for love. Something that she hated Morningstar Rising for."
Her head snaps up, her dark ebony eyes look glazed to him. Lord Viper knows that Urantia is ready to speak of his beloved, but he does not wish to hear it. He fears what she will say, knowing that if she was the assassin, he will come to hate her forever. Urantia's voice fills his mind with her words, that sound as though they are coming from a far, far off distance, crossing an empty void.
"You were my assignment that night. I was to become Morningstar Rising. I was to kill you on your wedding bed. But I could not do it. A life had to be forfited, the contract called for it. It should have been my life. I was the failure. I was the weak link that night.
I am alive today because Lady Morningstar Rising of Tiegar, forfited her life for LOVE. Darkness took Morningstar's life before I could stop her. Morningstar was Darkness first kill, it should have been me."
He looks at Darkness lifeless body, wishing he could bring her back so that he could have the pleasure of slowly torturing her to death. Lord Viper Of Orc is relieved that it was not by Urantia's hand that his beloved Morningstar was slane. It is his beloveds voice that breaks into his thoughts. He is not surprise when he looks up to find Morningstar's blue-green eyes staring at him. Urantia had morphed, but he had not seen her do so, to busy was he contemplating on Darkness.
"You must go now my Lord. I will take care of Darkness. Get Lady to Lord White Hawk, he will know what to do. He knows how to counteract the poison of Darkness claws."
"I will go for now, but I shall reture for you."
"There will be no one here to reture for. Go to your home, come see me in a few days and please make sure that Lord Haniri does not see you."
Her voice was low and soothing to his ears, but he knows she is not his Morningstar. She may look like her, and talk like her, even walk and laugh like her. But she is Urantia of Darkness, Shapeshifter, Assassin, his private property. As he passes her by she reaches our and touches his leg. He stops, shifts Lady in his arms and looks down into the eyes of Urantia once again.
"Lord Haniri does not know of your past?" He asks in a soft whisper. She shakes her head no in responce. "You need to tell him Urantia. You are legally my property and I have no intentions of setting you free. You may keep him as a lover, but that is all I will allow Urantia. I will not speak of tonights events to another. I will come to you soon."
She watches him leave, knowing he is right. She has a debt to pay off, it is her punishment for her failure, decreeded by her family. The sold her to him and she must be Morningstar until he deems she has paid enough. Rising she finishes morphing into Urantia Of Darkness. Gently lifting Darkness up, she walks to the edge of the railless balcony and stops. She kisses her sisters cold cheek and whispers, her voice full of the tears that do not fall.
"Forgive me Darkness."
Darkness weights nothing to Urantia. She stretches out her arms, holding Darkness body over the edge. Her head rises up to the full moon, she smiles remembering how much Darkness loved howling at the moon. She opens her mouth and chants in the most beautifully soft, saddest voice, the song of passage. All around her the howls and the roars of the ancients ring out. The moon bathes them in its luminous glow.
From the ground below, Lord Viper turns with Lady in his arms and watches.
All around Urantia the wind howls, cutting through her, lifting Darkness our of her arms, forcing her down to her knees. Urantia is helpless to react, as her body falls forward she tumbles to the edge, forced by the howling winds. Gripping to the edge she clings for her life as she watches Darkness body being attacked by the howling winds. Like a rag doll Darkness lifeless body dances in the air.
Suddenly the howling stops, the winds die down and Darkness Of Shadow's body hangs in the air in front of Urantia. Rising Urantia reaches for her sister body. As she touches her, Urantia shapeshifts into Morningstar and breaks the last hold the winds had on Darkness body. She watches as her sister's lifeless body tumbles through the air, as it crashes towards the ground.
The loud plop of Darkness body hitting the ground, sets Lord Viper moving in search of Lord White Hawk. Lord Viper is not worried about Urantia, he knows that she can take care of herself.
Up on the tower, Urantia falls to her knees, mourning the death of her sister. After what seemed like hours, but was only minutes, she rises, morphs into the panther and races down the stairs. She crashes through the door, shattering it to cinders. Racing through the hills and mountains of her realm free, she savors the night that she so loves. Upon reaching the lands of her mansion, she morphs back into Morningstar. Locking Urantia Of Darkness away for now, she becomes the Lady Of The Manor, Mistress Morningstar
THE END
