Cherreads

Chapter 66 - Chapter 62: Capricorn

Nia slowly looked up, her head tilted back as she looked upward at the the roof of the car. Her eyes widened in shock and fear. The look of trepidation etched in on her face. Her gaze met Scarlet's crimson red eyes.

"Hello there." Scarlet purred with a grin on her face. She knelt down as her face was inches away from Nia's. "Boo!" She smashed her forehead against Nia's. Knocking Nia down, the Spirit slumped down against the side of the car as blood trickled down her forehead.

From where Usagi was now tied up at, on the roof of the warehouse. She screamed and cried. Which was still muffled, however. Scarlet glanced up seeing Usagi. A wicked grin played across her lips as she stood up on the cars roof and jumped down.

The Nibelcole clones stepped back as the serious one stayed knelt down on one knee. She kept her head down as she didn't dare look up at Scarlet. "We have Usagi hostage still, however it seems like Nia brought the two cats."

Scarlet chuckled. "Oh I know. I'm very well aware of that. Continue dealing with Nia." She took one step forward, her Nevermore wings folded behind her back as she looked up to where Usagi was at. "I'll take care of the moon princess." Her grin turned into a predatory smile.

Usagi's face paled to a ghostly white. Her blue eyes shrunken and shaking with fear. She shakes her head, screaming and crying. "MMMMPH!" Her blonde pigtails swaying as she shakes her head and struggles. "Mmrph!"

The serious Nibelcole nodded her head as she lifted her head up and locked onto Nia who was slowly standing up. The serious Nibelcole chuckled darkly. "It will be my pleasure to deal with her."

Scarlet chuckled again, her Nevermore wings unfolding as she flew off the ground and to the roof of the warehouse. Usagi's muffled screams intensified but once again, failed to reach anyone's ears. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, tears stained her face which was still a ghostly pale from horror and shock.

"Hello Usa" Scarlet spoke as she levitated towards her. Her feet touching the roof as she then stood there before Usagi. "What do you think of my new look? Eye catching isn't it?" Usagi's muffled voice came out but it was hard to hear what she was saying. Scarlet tilts her head to the side as she smirks, leaning over she places her hand against her ear. "What was that? You gotta speak up, I can't hear you with that gag in your mouth. Here...let me help!" 

Usagi's eyes widened as she shakes her head, she wanted to back away from Scarlet, but couldn't. She could only watch as Scarlet's hand reached out towards her, the fear was making her heart race. Sweat was running down her face, she cried out a muffled cry. Scarlet's hand grasped onto the mouth gag and ripped it out of Usagi's mouth. "STAY AWAY!" Usagi yelled. "You you monster, you freak.."

Scarlet only grins at the fear that came out of Usagi's voice. "Aw, thank you for the complement princess. But you know what they say. It takes a monster, to know a monster." She chuckled once more, her eyes scanning Usagi before turning to look down at Nia, then she turned her gaze back to Usagi. 

"Usagi hold on!" Artemis yelled from inside the warehouse. "Luna, Scarlet's on the roof with her."

Luna who had ducked and slid between the Lustful Nibelcole's legs nodded at what Artemis said, she tripped the Nibelcole as she fell face first onto the floor. "We're coming Usagi!" 

~~~

Nia staggered and on her feet as she threw punches at the serious Nibelcole. Each one missing or hitting, but not doing much harm to the Nibelcole. While this was happening, The Sleepy Nibelcole and the other two, the laid back one and the jokester one watched, the other Nibelcole clones also watched, some looking at what was going on between Nia and the serious one, some watching Artemis and Luna run around the warehouse like they had their heads chopped off. And some were watching the climax that was happening with Usagi and what Scarlet was going to do to her.

"You might as well give up." The Serious Nibelcole spoke as she kicked Nia in the stomach. "You can't win this. Once everything is over...we Nibelcole's will follow mother to wherever else she needs to go..."

Nia gave off a painful laugh as she shook her head. "You're hopeless... what makes you think....what makes you so sure Scarlet would still want you all around? You'll probably just get in the way of her goal." She looked up at the serious Nibelcole and gazed up at the warehouse's roof where Scarlet and Usagi were. "Am I right?"

Scarlet who had turned her attention away from Usagi, didn't seem to say anything at first. "You think you know me that well huh? Well sorry I have bad news for you sister Nia. But that's a lie. A lie in the face of what you think may come true, you just want your powers back. Yet, I'm doing exactly what Westcott had done to you, using your powers for other purposes. These Nibelcole's don't have to fear being turned back into paper by a kiss from Shido." She took a step forward as she looked down at Nia. "If they wish to come with me to my next location..then so be it, the more help I get, the quicker I can find White Queen."

"Is that all you care about? Revenge?" Usagi asked, her voice rough and scratchy. "...Revenge will only bring death to others you care about....if this is all for that, then what's the point? You should just focus on helping those you claim to care about..."

Scarlet's head snapped to the side as she turned around. "You don't get to lecture me in what I can and can't do princess." She growled and lunged at Usagi, grabbing her by the pigtails and yanking on them. "You think you're so tough, but look at you. You're just weak. Tied up, no one left to save you....no one to cry to...no... you are alone, and once my brothers and sisters lay waste to your precious city...and when Nia and you two feline friends are nothing but a whisper in the wind. You will be nothing more than a foggy memory."

"Not if we have something to say about it." Luna and Artemis spoke as the two jumped up to the roof kicking Scarlet away from Usagi, they then stood in front of Usagi. "If you kill her, we will see to it that her and the rest are reborn."

"Reborn? Oh how cute, you want fate to be tied together like a knot." Scarlet spoke with a purr in her voice. "But I'm afraid I can't let you do that.." She regained her footing and swung Black Rose at the two. "I'm against the idea of hurting you two pussy cats, but you're starting to piss me off." Her crimson red eyes glowed with hate and anger. "Come to me my children!"

The Nibelcole clones all began to float up to where Scarlet was, well, except for the serious one. She was still beating the shit out of Nia. Once all the Nibelcole's were surrounding the warehouse, they waited for what command Scarlet would give them.

"Teach these two felines a lesson, give them hell." Scarlet spoke. 

Luna and Artemis' eyes widened as they heard Scarlet snap her fingers. They both gulped and started running. "We're sorry Usagi." Before they jumped off the roof, Luna had cut the ropes around Usagi's hands and legs.

~~~

Scarlet watched as the Nibelcole's gave chase to Luna and Artemis, she grins widely and took in a deep breath. "Do you smell it? The fear...the chaos." She turned her head to the side and laughed. "The despair."

Usagi got up to her feet, despite her legs being wobbly like jelly. She glared at Scarlet with anger. "I will make you pay."

Turning around, the Grimm girl noticed Usagi was no longer tied up. "Oh? Maybe I should refresh your memory Usa...gi~" She sang Usagi's name out. "I'm immortal, you think with what little power you have... Can stop me?"

"No...I know it can." Usagi spoke as she clinched her fist. "I know it..."

Scarlet snickered and gave out a sinister laugh. "Oh, I'm so scared." She took a step forward and swung Black Rose at Usagi. The blade cutting Usagi's school uniform. "I can be your worst nightmare. I will haunt your dreams until you crumble into an emotional mess." 

Usagi stepped back and looked down, seeing one part of the roof of the warehouse caving in under their weight. She stomps hard onto the spot that was starting to cave in. Causing the entire roof to collapse in on itself, which had caused the two to fall into the warehouse, Usagi coughed and waved her hands, trying to clear up the smoke. 

Through the smoke however, Scarlet's crimson eyes glowed. She growled and lunged at Usagi once more, pinning her down with her weight and inner Grimm strength. She pushed down on Usagi, causing her to cry out in agony. 

"That's it, that's what I want to hear. That sweet sweet music.." Scarlet spoke as she leaned over. "Sing for me Usa.....sing for me." 

Usagi screamed in pain, the weight and pressure from Scarlet's Grimm strength was crushing her organs and bones. For such a petite figure, Scarlet was heavy. Usagi felt around the floor, trying to find something to ease Scarlet off of her. Something, anything. Her slender fingers brushed against her moon stick, as she grabbed hold of it. She looked at Scarlet, holding back a painful cry. "F...Fuck....you.."

"Aw, Blondies first swear word." Scarlet cooed in a mocking tone. "Well fuck you too!" She reached out with her hands as she gripped Usagi's throat. "I will snuff the life out of your very body and soul. And then, when you're no longer able to move...I will have my reward."

Usagi gasped and gagged, she quickly brought her arm over and went to stab Scarlet in the side with her moon stick. But just like Yang, she was disarmed. The Jokester Nibelcole giggled as she held up a bloody butchers knife. "Whoops, it looks like you've been... dis-armed!"
