Chapter 10

Captured


The Evangelist had many clients. Some would only need her help once while others were works in progress. Her recent work in progress had survived an attack by the Boogieman and a band of pirates on a pink island in the middle of the ocean. She with the help of his friends he defeated the evil creature and was able to return to land after three years of hiding from them. The fish bowl headed being would once in a while take a shine to the people she helped and would from time to time check up on them so she decided to check up on the strange family. She had seen glimpses of all their futures and they all looked bright.

As she was casually gliding through a colorful portal the tentacles hanging over the rim of her fish bowl began to tap hurriedly against the thick glass. Her tentacles were a way to alert her to any type of danger or anyone who decided to summon her so stopping, she “listened” to the message that was being relayed to her. Someone needed her help and quickly. The Evangelist raised her hands to the side of the portal and opened an entrance to the place where the S.O.S was coming from. Flying through she entered into darkness. Down below the street lights cast is dull white glow onto streets and sidewalks while the sparse clouds drifted slowly across the night sky. Following the signal, she came to an extremely tall building that reached way up into the clouds themselves. She guided herself all the way to the top and hovered at the window peering inside.

It was dark and looked to be empty. Phasing through the huge window she landed on the ground and began to walk around, her tentacles barely making a sound against her head. The unknown danger that awaiting her was carefully concealed.

“Hello? Is anyone here? I received your distress call.” the Evangelist walked until she stood in the middle of the room. She didn't sense the invisible barrier go up then the floor glowed red trapping her. The Evangelist struggled as whatever power that was coming from it zapping up her energy but she began to grow weak and dropped to one knee, then the other. Her vision was getting blurry and soon she was laying flat on the ground.

Footsteps echoed throughout the room coming to a stop outside the circle. “You fell so easily into my trap. I'm surprised.”

The Evangelist weakly lifted her head to try and see who was speaking. Her eyes landed on the Black Cloud leader's face. Her eyes widened as she saw who it was. She tried to save him once but he wouldn't change his ways. Not even to save his own friends from dying. Even though the circle was full of dark magic she could feel the evil radiate off the man and an uncomfortable feeling pitted itself inside her stomach. He was up to something.

The leader had the supernatural being take to a glass chamber that was located in the basement of the tower. A spell was put on it to keep the Evangelist's power low so she wouldn't be able to escape or use her powers against him.

“Marius.” she looked at him with tired eyes.

“Ah, so you remember me.”

“Of course I remember you. I tried  to save you from yourself once.”

“I didn't need your help.”

“You were out of control, you've would've destroyed yourself.”

“I'm still alive aren't I?” A hint of irritation was heard in Marius' voice.

“Only because of me. Your friends died because of you. More importantly your best friend.”

“They were going to turn against me.”

“No they weren't. They were trying to stop you from losing control of your powers. Especially her.”

“She was going to turn against me too. Her being my best friend stopped a long time ago.”

“She died in vain.” the Evangelist looked into the man's eyes and thought she saw a tiny spark of remorse there but it was gone in an instant.

“I don't care.”

The Evangelist frowned. “Why are you after Murdoc and his friends?”

“He's been a thorn in my side and has crossed me for the last time. I captured you so that you won't be able to help him or the others. You see, I plan to take out the pawns so to speak until the king is left. I've already have my hold on Noodle and gave Rei a waring. Stuart and Russel are next on my list. As for Araiya, she'll be the icing on the cake to bring Niccals to his knees. If I have to spill her blood then so be it.”

“I won't let you hurt them.” she tried to stand but her limbs felt like jello so she fell back to the floor.

“The spell I've on your little prison is very powerful so you won't be able to escape and don't try to exert too much energy because it'll just drain it from you. You'll watch Murdoc die, and there's nothing you'll be able to do about it.” Marius turned on his heal and left.

Evangelist watched the door close then half dragged herself over to the small bed. She knew she had to conserve her energy to try and send out a distress signal. And she knew exactly who she wanted to send it to.

Hopefully, the distress signal would reach him in time and he'd be able to come down from his travels to warn and help protect Murdoc and the others.
