Description

~Villain~

Marline Wernicke walked down the sullen street...everything was grey. The sky was covered in heavy grey clouds, the poured heavy grey rain upon the lonely little girl...She looked to the sky, and her make-up smeared, eye-liner rolling down her face...
She screams out into the darkness, "WHY" and breaks down sobbing on the pavement in front of the hospital she cried and cried, "Bring me back my Daddy...please,"she pleaded to the cold earth below her, "I'll do anything...just bring me back my Daddy..."
The wind started to pick up, and the trees waved back and forth tossing their branches around. The girl grasped her hat and scarf as the wind threatened to steal her warmth. It blew harder and harder, then stopped...out of the forest came a voice..."I can bring you're daddy back..." and a long black hand reached out from the trees...
The girl wandered toward it, "Who...who are you...?" she asked, wiping the tears from her eyes...
"I can bring your Daddy back, don't you want your daddy back?" he urges again with his hand...
The little girl reaches out hesitantly..."Thats right," the voice said, "take my hand, and tell me you want my help...say you will form a contract with me and I will bring your dear sweet daddy back..."
The girl sniffles..."A contract?"
"Just a formality," the voice assures her grasping at her small hand, "All you have to do is say it and Ill bring your daddy back...'
The little girl grasps the hand and with a shaky voice, unknowigly signs her life away, "Ill do it...I'll form the contract...just bring my daddy back to me..."

Name:Marline Wernicke
Age:11 years
History: Her mother died when she was born, and when her father died last year she was tricked into a contract with Doldum. She has been feeding it humans ever since, letting Doldum prey whenever he wants"...with enough souls he can bring him back" he assured her, so she feeds him more and more.
Her desire to be with her father, and the shock from wathcing Doldum torture his victoms has left her vapid and creul. Nothing matters to her but her father, but she is unaware of what happens when her time is up.

Doldum takes the form of a black posie on Marlin's hat. He is the puppeteer Demon, and he can control other's body's with invisible strings. Once Doldum has hold, the only thing that can release the victim is for the strings to be cut, or Doldum to be killed.

So begins...

A little girls voice rings out "Would anyone like to buy a flower?" Her hands are shaking as she holds out daises and tulips, she has a box sitting next to her filled with the flowers. She wears a simple red dress, and a hooded shawl. The wind threatens to blow her away as it gusts, taking some of the flowers from her hand. She throws herself onto the pavement to pick them up, tears rolls down her face, "Why won't anyone buy my flowers?"
At the sound fo Deamon's voice, she whips around, and spots them the street over, through a dirty little alley way.
I want that one... He deep and sinister voice rings through her mind.
"Yes master..." her eyes glaze over and her body snaps as she walks, almost as if she is being controlled by puppet strings, as she makes her way through the alley way.
The seal on her back begins to burn, and she winces, as Doldum begins to take his shape in the shadows. The pain spreads through her body, and she begins to cry as she collapses on the ground.
"O no you don't," the creature says as he lowers his wispy head to her level, a devious grin forms across his lips as he thrusts his arms into the air, and the girls limp body follows suit, "We don't have much time left...if you want to save your daddy, you will get me that chain!"

Red smiled and snapped her fingers as well, "It seems as though we skilled with the same weapon." She said, a scythe appearing in her hand. The two blades blazed with blue fire as she twirled the weapon around her. Daemon smiled and moved behind her his own hands erupting in blue flames.

Red watched as Doldum taunted them and scowled at him before the prince told them to try and not harm the girl. Red sighed, "we'll try." she said, tightening the grip on her scythe.

The little girl, being pulled by the stings dashed toward them, her voice calling out, "It's impolite to talk about someone," she says swinging her the knife centimeters Red's throat before being yanked back, "When they are standing right here...so to say. Doldum made her dance the hokypoky, teasing the group. His laugh dripped with sadism as he made the girl slice her own arm. "Come and get me!"
He tightened the strings foe better control, and her movements became precise and fast. From his hiding place he watched, making the girl dance with his fingers. Crimson blood dripped down her arm, and tears rolled down her face.

Gwyn growled at the sight of the poor girl, caught under the sadistic strings of Doldum. "Arian, find Doldum. I'll try to keep her from killing herself or anything while you do." And I can't use my swords, he realized. The swords slid back into place.

Arian nodded, crouching for a moment. Her fur bristled slightly and flashes of lightning began to flare around her fur. Arian's long, sharp ears perked up and her eyes flickered around the surrounding area, searching... searching... She was only bent for a few seconds before she was leaping forward, blurring into motion. A small shockwave of sound thundered through the air.

Gwyn leaped forward as well, a dark moving shadow that reached towards the knife in Marline's hands, moving to clamp around her wrist. Gwyn prepared to pull and keep the knife away from both him and the girl as well as position himself so he could catch the girl in a lock.

Red didn't move a muscle as the girls blade barley touched her neck. She swallowed and shook her head, regaining her composer and slamming her scythe into the ground, causing a line of flames trial across the ground and following Arian to the shadowy figure as Daemon appeared next Gwyn.

Marline's head rolled back to look Gwyn in the eye, a wicked smile forming on her face, "Gotcha"
The strings attached to the little girl begin to attach to him, threatening to make him Doldum's puppet as well.

A booming laugh can be heard from the bridge above the alley, as a wisps of black smoke rise from behind the stone walls. Flashes of silver reflect in the moonlight leading down to the girl, and dropping onto Gwyn.

Red ran forward, cutting through the fog So-So had created and swung her scythe, trying to slice through the almost invisible strings that were attached to the girl, "RED YOU STUPID GIRL!" she heard daemon yell at her, she looked back at he scythe and gasped, the strings that were going after Gwyn earlier had detoured, attaching themselves to her scythe and running towards her and reaching her hand. Red tugged furiously at the string connected to her hand, but it stayed, she set her arm a blaze, preventing any more to attach to her but her hand was still stuck.

A thick dark voice creeped into Red's head, "Welcome to the puppet show," she feels her arms and legs move on their own, and a grin is forced across her face. Try as she might she can't move now that the strings had taken over, and her body moved with precision as Doldum made her swing her deadly weapon at her own partner.
The little girl came swooping after her, coming at him from the opposite direction, the voice calling out to him, "Don't hit her, or she will die," she giggled as she swung her blade at Daemon.

Doldum laughed from above, a thick wicked laugh.

[Sorry for the late reply, but that's great ShadeLord. :)]

Gwyn growled and decided to tackle Red, trying to divert her from her attack. Daemon seemed more than enough to deal with Marline. Red would be a lot tougher and since she was Daemon's Contractor... Gwyn came at Red, his speed boosted so he became almost a blur. I hope this takes her by surprise, he thought fervently in the brief moment before they clashed. I'm still idiotically barehanded. Then If I survive this, Arian'll kill me.

Meanwhile, Arian flipped to her side and turned, coming to attack Doldum from behind.

Daemon growled at Doldum, changing into he real form and attacking him with his claws sinking into him, "Let her go. Someone how hide behind little girls for protection is just weak and cowardly." Daemon liked his lips, "you'll taste simply divine actually." he said, remembered who the weak always tasted better to him. Daemon let go of Doldum as Arian attacked him from behind and returned his attention to the other girl. "How do you attack something you cant touch...." Daemon thought to himself before smiling and looking around for something...

Doldum cried out in pain, and momentarily to the girls dropped limp to the ground. He turned and swatted Arian away, catching razer sharp claws in the hand in the process.
A slight but noticeable *snap* can be heard, looking down he see's that Red is now "limping"
He clutched where Daemon had pierced him, thick black blood spilled from the wound.
Marline screams in agony, tears flowing from her eyes...but Doldum picks her back up again.
"Foul Creatures, get away from me!" Doldum growled, he lifted him arm to pull up Red's weapon, making her press it to her own throat, "One more step and I'll off her. She means nothing to me!"
His lips form a cruel grin as he stares back at Arian.

Doldum became entwined, and struggled to move. With the inability to use his hands, Red drops to the ground, and the strings connecting her sever.
He snarls, "What is this!!" and whips his long neck around in fury.

Marline goes limp in the catches of the vines, while he loses his connection with her she mumbled, tears streaming down her face..."Kill him...make it stop..."

Arian smirked back at Doldum, hiding her irritation at being trapped by Doldum's control of Red. Her fur bristled. Below, she saw Gwyn circle Red warily, just as trapped as she was. Or were they? As So-So and Dodado trapped Marline and Doldum in an illusion, Arian realized something. Doldum's time was almost up. They just needed a bit more time...

One of her ears twitched and both flattened against the back of her head. "Gwyn, back up a bit," she warned. I don't know how long So-So and Doldum can hold them and I don't want us caught when we're diluting time like this... Her stance relaxed and her fur lay flat. She gazed at Doldum calmly, her glowing blue, pupil-less eyes dimming slightly. Suddenly, matching circles of pale white, nearly-transparent smoke spun around Arian and Doldum's necks while a miniature version wrapped around Gwyn's wrist. The circles had thousands of little runes around the edges and as the spinning stopped, it was easier to see the elaborate clock-hands set in the middle, pointing at various roman numerals. They had been ticking along in matching time, but now, the faded clock around Doldum suddenly sped up. The hands began to slide along, gaining speed.

Meanwhile, the "clocks" for Gwyn and Arian slowed slightly. Gwyn's brow furrowed as he felt his movements slow down marginally. While it wasn't slowing down that was the worrying part - with Arian's help, they could make up for the movement-speed loss though they'd tire faster. It was the fact that Doldum would now be able to move much faster as his contract's time began speeding closer. Arian loped towards him, going at her fastest speed while boosted with her power. The slowing down however, kept her barely at an average person's speed. Gwyn reached out a hand and let Arian flow back into her masked form. He hoped So-So could hold long enough that Doldum couldn't escape. With the boost in speed, Doldum would probably outpace all of them...

{A: This post is super overdue
B: it's gonna suck, because I need sleep XD}

A clock rang out in the massive hall. The Keeper of Clocks smirked and set down her tea. An almost painful pressure was exerted on her upper-right canine tooth. Her false tooth. A dark shadow drifted from between her lips, a demonic smoke. The smoke settled in the form of an evil young woman, The Keeper's second creature: The Nymph of the Seal.

As Cheshire scampered under the table, the Keeper of the Clicks rose and faced the Nymph. She spoke clearly and deliberately. "You are to return Doldum and Merline to me directly. You are to do nothing more." The Creature grinned wickedly and vanished from the hall. The Keeper remained standing.

The Nymph appeared just behind Doldum and his puppet. She placed her hand on the evil Creature's and Marline's back, just over the Seal. "Time's up," she hissed and cackled deviously. Then, the Nymph, the Creature, and the girl all disappeared in a puff of dark mist.

Back at the hall, the three appeared before the Keeper of the Clocks. The Nymph cackled once more and ripped the seals painfully from the bodies. Marline screamed. The Nymph laughed some more, then dissolved into shadow, replacing herself in the hole in the Keeper's mouth, once again her canine tooth.

Doldum was seething. "Unfair!" he cried. "Unfair!" Marline kept sobbing on the floor. The Keeper smiled. "Aw, wah, poor you." Then, she growled, "Time's up. Back to the Abyss." She waved her hand and the two vanished, Doldum growling and Marline screaming, back to the omnipresent horror of the Abyss.
