The Curse
Request Fic for Brianna
by paralleltodarkness (aka Meira)
~*~Chapter Eight - Answers~*~
Disclaimer: I don't own anybody in this story so far, everybody here is somebody from the real world (namely my school), I just changed their names to protect their privacy. But I own 'The Curse of Wings' and the 'Guardian's Seal.'
The only names that I have not changed are Brianna, Kathy, and Julia.
I also own the legend that is to be told in this chapter.
I also do not own Yami from Yu-Gi-Oh. I just felt like putting him in the authoress notes. It's so much more fun when I get to torture somebody! ^-~
THANK YOU TO BRIANNA FOR COMING UP WITH THE IDEA AND BASIC PLOT FOR THIS STORY!
<...> Thoughts
----------
Meira: ... Must finish... story... before... Christmas...
Yami: Yeah, she's going to ask Kathy if she wants her to write a fic for her... though I still can't believe that a Halloween fic would last this long... I mean, it's Thanksgiving already!
Meira: *hangs head in shame* Ah well... blame it all on writer's block and laziness...
Yami: -_- Anyways, you were awfully cruel to your friends in this story...
Meira: *scowls* Not really... it's all in the plot...
Yami: You mean torturing Brianna?
Meira: -_- She's the main character - what would this story be if I didn't torture the protagonist?
Yami: ...

Woman walks down a seemingly endless passageway. She glances slowly around.
"I see that you have come," a voice hisses. Woman swivels around, looking for the speaker.
"Yes, I have," Woman says. "I got your call."
Dark figure emerges from shadows. "Good... you actually listen."
Woman smirks. "Unlike you."
"Have you found them yet?"
"Yes."
"Any complications?"
"They found out about the Guardian's Seal."
"Hmph. Make sure they don't ressurect it."
"I have taken the Levian. She is currently unconcious."
"Is there any way that she can escape?"
Girl laughs. "Of course not. Do you really think that I am that bad at this? I have been following your orders for millennia..."
"But you never have done a very good job. Do you remember the last Levian?"
Woman flushes. "That was due to his incompetence!"
"Yes, but thanks to him, they know about the Guardian's Seal."
"It has not appeared for five centuries though. There was barely any civilization here at the time."
"But it has been recorded."
Woman death glares. "Master, you know the consequences if we reveal ourselves."
"Of course I know the consequences. But you have sent the Selths after she and her friends."
"There are only a few others."
"But you have seen them. They have found out... They have been warned by Anthros himself."
"That old fool must be getting desperate."
"He knows the law. He must speak to the Levian."
"He failed. Instead he possessed another."
"But he still got the message across."
"They still know very little."
"Lilith! That is quite enough."
Woman cringes. "Master-"
"Go. Tend to the Levian. We cannot afford to let her go back to her world."
"Yes."
Woman exits room. Dark figure fades back into shadows.

"Brianna..." Kathy muttered, shaking Brianna again. "C'mon, get up!"
"She's been out of it for about ten minutes now," Julia muttered.
"Hey," a voice shouted. They turned around to see Alec and Mikel climbing out of the pool. "What's up with Brianna?"
"Go away!" Meira shouted. "Haven't you done enough already?" Alec and Mikel gave her a strange look.
"What do you mean?"
Julia death glared them. "One... two..."
Mikel and Alec ran off.
"That wasn't much of a struggle."
"I didn't expect much more, to tell you guys the truth..."
"..."
"But what about Brianna?" Kathy asked, glancing back. "She hasn't been doing anything for a while..."
"Is she breathing?"
Kathy bent down.
"Well?"
Kathy gulped. "No... she isn't..."
***
Girl lays in a dark room.
"Levian," Woman says, walking into the room. Girl stirs. "Little Levian," Woman chuckles. "Has never been one this young before..."
Girl opens her eyes. "Who are you?" she asks in a timid voice.
Woman walks closer. Light shines onto her face. Girl gasps in fear.
"I..." Woman smirks. "I am your worst nightmare..."
"Go away!" Girl yells. "I know about the Guardian's Seal! You can't use it to destroy the world!"
Woman smirks. "Based on that comment, you know very little about the Guardian's Seal..."
"Then why don't you tell me about it?"
Woman laughs. "Curious little Levian, aren't we?"
"Levian?"
"You mean you don't know?"
Girl shakes head.
"How can you possibly know anything about the Guardian's Seal if you don't know what a Levian is?"
"I'll find out..." Girl says through gritted teeth.
"How? There aren't any documented sources. After all, you and your friends had no luck looking on the internet..."
"How did you know?"
"I have my sources..." Woman smirks. "I can see everything that the Levian does."
Girl death glares. Woman laughs. "Don't think that your little glaring trick will work. I've seen worse than you can ever do... but then again, you are the youngest Levian ever."
"What is a Levian?"
Woman laughs. "How naive... you are just like I thought you were."
"TELL ME! WHAT IS A LEVIAN?!"
Woman laughs at Girl's suppressed rage. "I must say... tormenting children is fun... but since this is the last time you'll ever be *ahem* existant... a Levian is a chosen protector."
"A chosen protector of what?"
"The Guardian's Seal."
Girl's eyes open wide. "So..."
"We," Woman laughs. "Are different than you. For five hundred years, we wait, biding our time, until the final day that we can awaken."
"Halloween," Girl whispers softly.
"Every five hundred years, a Levian is chosen. One who the wielder of the Guardian's Seal thinks is most suitable."
"... Me?"
"Yes... Anthros is really getting too old," Woman laughs. "For two and a half Millennia he has been doing this... But why has he chosen a young girl? Quite pointless, if you ask me."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
"Patience, little Levian," Woman smirks. "Your time will soon come. After all... you are the Guest of Honor."
"... Guest of Honor?"
"Why of course. Didn't I tell you? Every half millennia, we capture the Levian and sacrifice him or her to our god." Woman laughs at the look on the Girl's face. "Anthros has not been able to stop us. As hard as he tried with the last one, he still failed."
"You... sacrifice human beings?"
"Why of course. Our God only needs one Levian every five hundred years to exist. There is only one Levian every half millennia... So in some way, you're lucky. Only two mortals every millennia get the great privilege of being sacrificed."
Woman leaves room, cackling.

"Crap..." Meira muttered, shaking Brianna again. "She can't be dead... she just can't be..."
"It's weird," Julia said, looking up. "I can feel a pulse. But she's not breathing."
"Could it mean that her soul somehow left?"
"How can that be? There is no such thing as magic."
"Ha. Then how do you explain Yu-Gi-Oh?"
"That's an anime."
"Oh."
"What do you think's going on?" Kathy asked, looking up at the sky.
"Dunno," Meira replied, and went to get water from the pool. "Eww... we can't use this after Alec and Mikel have been in it..."
Julia walked over to Meira. "Eww... that's gross..."
"Guess we shouldn't have pushed them into the pool, huh?"
"Guess so... I think we should have borrowed Brianna's brother's paintball gun and shot them with paintballs instead."
"That was a good idea."
"Guys?"
Meira and Julia turned around to see Kathy, still looking up at the sky, but seemingly frozen.
"What?" Julia asked. She and Meira slowly lifted up their heads and...
***
Brianna slumped to the floor. Levian? Her? That was impossible... how could she be the Levian?
<Just great... I'm going to be sacrificed to some nutcase who's apparently the God of these crazed lunatics...> She shuddered, remembering what the woman looked like.
Her face looked like it had once been beautiful, but was now waxy skin stretched over her skull. Matted, stringy black hair hung over her shoulders, and her eyes were almost hollow sockets.
<She said that I wasn't like them. That means I'm working against them... against my own will... but I still don't understand. What is it that these people do?>
Something struck her. <It's that old house. It's got to have something to do with that old house. Why else did I feel a weird presence when I was around there? Why else are Danella, Raina, and Elissa trapped in there? It's these crazy people... They've gone and put a fucking curse on us...>
"Oh little Levian," a voice said softly. Seeing the woman return, Brianna scrambled to her feet. "Get ready... you're going to be sacrificed at exactly midnight."
"If I escape," Brianna whispered softly. "Then what will happen?"
"I assure you," the woman said, smiling. "You won't."
----------
Yami: WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Meira: -_- I decided to add some length to this story. I decided to change some of the plot, so this story will be more interesting. If I just had Brianna pass out and then wake back up again, how boring would that be?
Yami: But now you're having her sacrificed to a lunatic's God...
Meira: You'll just have to wait and see what happens! ^-^
Yami: -_- Please R&R! Flamers will be torched and flames will be used to burn all of the drawings that Meira hates!
Meira: ^-^
