Abel vs. Cain



Part One


Chapter 1
A New Abel




Abel and Cain sat in a white room, with two girls beside them. One of the girls had red hair and wore silver bangles, the other had black hair, and wore a single green ring. The girl with red hair was Lilith, and the girl with black hair was Seth.
“Abel? Whatcha wanna do?” Cain wasn’t looking at Abel, yet he seemed a little uneasy asking his younger brother anything nowadays.
Abel didn’t look at Cain, he didn’t even answer as a matter of fact. He seemed gloomy, and sad. His childish form still lingered, but he seemed more stressed. He never smiled anymore. He hardly even looked at anyone. He hardly even ate. He seemed like a new person now.
Cain forgot his pointless attempt to get Abel to talk. He wandered off into his own world as he usually did when his brother ignored him.
He walked over to the window and looked at the red ground. Then he looked towards a blue and green planet, a few million miles off.
As you have probably guessed, they were on another planet. Mars.
“Cain, why are you looking at that pitiful planet. Earth. It makes me sick.” Abel looked up from his gloomy state, and though he was younger than Cain, he seemed to be a lot more mature. His blue silver eyes, filled with hate.
Cain was angry at Abel for speaking to him that way, “ How dare you speak to me that way?!? What I choose to look at is none of your business!” Abel fell back into his silent and gloomy mood.
Cain was steaming from the very short argument. He didn’t know why, but his brother never even tried to argue with him before. Now that he thought of it, Abel had never even tried to talk to him before.
As Abel got up and walked away, Cain watched him. Cain tried to say something, but Abel ignored him. Then Cain said, “Hey! What’s wrong with you lately!?! Why are you acting like such a jerk!?!”
Abel stopped and turned, his eyes once again flickered with hatred. It seemed to Cain, that Abel would not be acting this way unless something was wrong.
Abel turned around again, and as he started walking again, he said, “Leave me alone. I don’t want to talk to you. I want to be left alone.”
As Abel walked away, leaving Cain standing there with an open mouth, his hands became fists. Then something caught Abel’s eye.
A man with brown hair, blue eyes, and a black suit walked up to Cain. The man drew a sword, and said, “ You people aren’t supposed to live. You aren’t supposed to be here. You weren’t even supposed to be created.” The mans voice was deep and carried a familiar hatred in it.
The man charged at Cain with his sword, but Abel jumped in front of him last minute, and deflected the sword.
It looked to Cain, as if his brother was carrying a new person inside of him. A bolder, braver, and all together, angrier person.
“ Krusnic 02, 40% activation restriction, approved!” Abel let his short hair fly into the air, as if up by static electricity. His teeth extended to long fangs on the side of his mouth. His eyes suddenly burned red, as if his hatred had finally gotten the better of him.
“You stay away from them!” Abel’s voice became deeper, more mature, as if he were already a man.
The man just looked at him. He seemed to have realized something, then he walked towards Abel, and said, “ So, the one I attacked was NOT Krusnic 02? You are Krusnic 02, then?”
His eyes locked into Abel’s bright red ones. Abel just looked at him in anger and said, “ What do you want? To destroy us? Your human aren’t you?”
The man looked insulted. “ HUMAN?!? HOW DARE YOU! Why would I, the head of RozenKreuz, be a filthy human!?!
The man rushed at Abel while he drew his sword, Abel was too slow to defend the attack. The man caught Abel across the chest with his sword.
Abel fell to the floor, he wasn’t dead, but he was too weak to move. Abel watched the man walk up to his body as it lay on the floor. The man picked him up by the collar of his shirt and said, “ You don’t deserve to live. And here I thought you people were the smart ones out of all of us. I was terribly mistaken, well, I bid you all good day.”
With that, the man threw Abel onto the floor once more, and there, Abel lay unconscious. The man exited without trouble.


Chapter 2
Cain Takes Leave

Abel woke the next day in his own bed. It wasn’t exactly day yet, it was still darker than normal. He tried sitting up, but he couldn’t, his chest hurt too much. Then he realized he had bandages on instead of his shirt.
He struggled to get out of bed, but none the less, he got up and put his shirt on. He went into the main hallway and met Cain who, as it appeared, was walking to Abel’s room. Cain said, “Oh, your finally awake, but you shouldn’t be out of bed right now. You should get some more rest. Come on, lets head back to your room…” Cain tried leading Abel back to his room, but Abel just kept walking straight.
Abel wasn’t talking to him for some reason, but Cain didn’t know why. Cain tossed his long blonde bangs back and said, “ Fine. Do what you want, if you want to ignore it when people are trying to help you, then be my guest. That’s a way you’ll get hurt, more than just mentally, dear brother.” Cain began walking away.
Abel stopped walking and said, “Why do you care what happens to me? You don’t, nobody does. Not the humans, not the Vampires, not any race to call our own in this world. Nobody is on our side, yours mine, Seth’s, or Lilith’s, we haven’t a friend in this world.”
Abel’s eyes filled with tears that dropped to the ground, shining as they made their way down.
Cain stopped walking long enough to hear his brothers words. He only turned around to see the back of Abel’s head, however, when he heard his sobs, “Abel….why do you think like that? If you believe that, then…w-why are we here? If none of us have a friend in the world, then why, why do we live? We have friends, friends who care about us, and friends we care about very much. Not a friend in the world, brother? Do you really believe that?” Cain believed his words more than he thought.
Abel didn’t turn around. He lifted his head a little higher though. Still, he seemed defiant to turn to meet Cain’s eyes. So Cain walked over to him instead. Before Cain reached Abel however, Abel stopped crying and turned around. A deep laugh, then, his hair turned red, and his eyes turned black. His black eyes were blank, as if it was not him at all. As if something had taken over his body. He spoke, but it wasn’t in his own voice, “Coming with the Rozenkreuz side, is the only way to escape your prison. Come with me, or I will kill your friends and family.” With that, Abel fell, unconscious before his body hit the hard glossy white flooring. There, his shirt became stained with red.
Cain didn’t even bend down to see if he was ok, he just stood open mouthed. His mind mauling over what was just said. Cain was scared for his family, he decided that he would join the rozenkreuz.
That night, he left Abel there on the floor, if he was to leave, Abel could not end up in his room again. He would know something was wrong.
Cain walked down the halls, turned right on the first open doorway, then walked straight for a while. Then he saw a light, not a white light, but a red one that flashed white every few seconds.
Cain walked into the room with the light. He saw a hole in the floor with a slate of glass over it.
He stepped onto the slate of glass, and said, “ Exile emerge, Krusnic01, Dispatch to Earth.”
Then he noticed a boy peeking around the corner. The boy was small with short white-grey hair. The boy ran into the room as a glass protector was surrounding Cain.
“Good bye Abel. I hope to see you soon.” Cain smiled, and put one of his hands on the glass. Abel put his hand on the glass too, “Please don’t leave, don’t leave us. Please..” Tears filled Abel’s eyes, then, Cain looked into Abel’s shiny, tear filled eyes, and said, “ Too late brother. I have to leave. It’s the only way to keep everyone safe. I’m sorry Abel. Remember, you don’t need friends when we have each other.”
Abel nodded. Then the glass slate that covered the hole fell through, and took Cain along with it. Abel let his tears fall from his eyes onto the top of the protector as it fell through space, down, down, down to Earth.


Part 2



Chapter 3
A Less Than Warm Arrival



Abel waited 20 years before he saw his brother again.

A man walked in through the door, and walked down the hall. He stopped when he saw Abel. Abel had become tall, with long silver hair he had placed in a neat pony tail.
Abel looked happier, and sadder at the same time, his voice had become deeper, and sterner, more fierce, “Who are you, what do you want?” The man just looked at him, and started walking again. He stopped when he reached the window that held the view to Earth. “Do you mean to say, that you do not remember your own brother?”
Abel’s blue silver eyes became wide, as if he’d seen some kind of ghost, and he just stared at the man.
“Dear Abel, what’s the matter with you? You look as if you’ve seen a ghost. Or is it just me?” The man shrugged and held up his hand, “But, now it’s good bye, Abel.”
Abel was still wide eyed, when he realized what Cain was about to do. He rushed up, and knocked him off his feet, as a surge of power went through his body. Abel screamed in pain as the surge came up to his chest.
Despite his pain, he stood back up, and ran to where Lilith and Seth were, and warned them.
As the two girls stood, Cain walked in and said, “ More recruits I see? No matter, they will just have to go down with you!” Cain laughed maniacally. Abel told Lilith to take Seth to the hidden chamber they had created in Cain’s absence.
“Ahhhh, Abel. Just you and me again. Little brother how have you been? Weak and quiet as always I’ll wager.” Cain stared at Abel with cold eyes, eyes that Abel had never seen before. Abel stared at Cain in anger, and said, “ I knew Earth was a horrible place! You are not the older brother I know and love! You are no relation to me!!!” Abel shouted at Cain. Even though he was a grown man, the despair he carried with him in Cain’s absence was now creeping into tears ready to take their time making their way down his light cheeks.
“Oh, Abel, you are so modest. You really think Earth did this to me? You really have no brain do you?” Cain laughed evilly, and this put Abel even deeper in his anger. “Krusnic 02, 80% restriction release, acknowledged!”
Abel’s silver hair flew above his head, like a silver halo. His eyes burned red, and his lips became a dark purple. His teeth extended into long fangs. Abel Nightroad now looked like an outraged lion, ready to attack you at any cost to his pride, to his friends, to his family.
“ Abel, I’m slightly impressed at what fine a Krusnic you have become. It’s too bad I’ll have to destroy you before you pose a threat to us, and yourself, and your family.” Cain was trying to build up Abel’s temper, which he knew, had to have shortened over the years. Unfortunately for Cain, Abel now knew what he was trying to do, and didn’t let it get to him.
“Stop your mindless babbling! Too bad for you, Cain. I’m not letting your hateful tactics get to me. I won’t lower myself to your level.” Abel’s voice was deeper and stiffer, and carried more rage with it. It rolled out of his mouth like flickering flames. His red eyes burned with hate, and his teeth were bared in anger.
“ Oh, Abel. What has happened to YOU? You ask what has happened to me, but it seems you have changed for the better. You were so different as a child. You hardly even spoke, let alone yelled in rage. None the less you were my brother, and I watched over you. But now, I do have to say good bye. So Abel, good bye.” Cain smiled with the grins of thousands of evil people. As if it were their evil souls that gave him power.
Cain knew what he would do to get Abel, and he knew how to do it.
“Krusnic 01, 100% restriction release, ACTIVATE!” Abel looked at him in fear. He knew what would happen if Cain went complete Krusnic. It meant, death, or complete insanity.
“NOOO!!!! DON’T DO IT!!” No matter how much he tried, he could not hate his brother.
Abel rushed up to Cain, but it didn’t end well. Cain knew Abel would do something stupid like that. So under his breath, as he was changing form, he reduced his limitations to 40%.
As Abel reached Cain, Cain drove a knife through Abel’s chest. Abel looked surprised, though Cain couldn’t figure out why. He should have known it was going to happen.
“Abel, your as gullible as always, I see. Too bad. With a few more years of training, you could have been a great warrior.”
Cain walked away, leaving Abel hunched in a bloody ball on the floor.













Chapter 4
Cain Gets His Way

Abel remained in a bloody heap on the floor for a few minutes. He took in as much air as he could in short breaths. It started getting hard for him to breathe.
He was about to let go of his life forever, when he heard a scream down the hall.
Abel ignored his urge to let life go, and got up. His chest hurt more than ever before. He ignored his pain, and ran as fast as he could with down the hall. It took a lot of his energy, but all he could think about was making sure his family was safe.
He heard a scream again, and ran faster, completely tiring himself, but not caring. He reached the place where he heard the scream, and saw Lilith on the floor, dead.
He saw Seth huddled alone in the corner, covered in blood. Whimpering in fear. She kept trying to see Abel, but Cain held up his hand to her, just as he did to Abel, “ I’ve said good bye to them, now, it’s your turn. Good bye dear sister.”
“STOP!! LEAVE HER ALONE!” Abel yelled at Cain, who was no longer in his Krusnic form. Cain sucked his teeth like a twelve year old, “ You again? I’ll have to deal with you for good, won’t I?”
Abel ignored his words, and yelled to Seth, “ Seth! Come over here! Hurry! Don’t let him catch you!”
Seth got up, and ran as fast as she could to Abel, just barely avoiding death as Cain threw his knife at her and missed.
“Stay behind me. I won’t let him touch you.” Abel spoke softly, but with his voice had a stern ring to it. It sounded like a request, and an order at the same time.
Abel ignored the pain in his chest, though Seth could clearly see the blood on his shirt. She worried about him. She clutched at his shirt, and held on tight, as though her life depended on it. The truth was, she was trying to get her healing power to work its magic on him.
Cain looked at Abel, and held up his hand without a word, and again, a surge of power went into his body, and made its way to his chest. Seth’s power was beaten off by Cain’s.
Abel began breathing as hard as he could, so that he kept himself alive. He once again found it hard to breath, and he broke out in a sweat as the pain worsened. Cain was getting his way.
Abel fell on his knees, he held himself up, still trying hard to keep himself from loosing consciousness.
“Abel! NO!! Abel!!” Seth held on the Abel’s body, and tried using her power again. But again, Cain surged Abel. Abel was finding it harder to keep himself conscious.
Cain surged Abel every few seconds, and every time, Abel gripped his arms harder, and harder.
Seth began to cry, and each time she felt Abel’s body tighten as she held him, she felt a stronger urge to hurt Cain. Hurt him badly.
When she felt Abel’s body tighten again, she lost it. She stood up, “ Krusnic 03, 40% release restrictions, approved!” Her short black hair flew above her head, like a halo, her lips became a deep purple, her eyes became a bright red, and her teeth extended into long fangs.
She attacked Cain with all her strength, “ You filthy animal! How could you do this to your own family!?! ULTRA SHOCK ATTACK!! BLUE ICE SHOT!” Seth held up her hands, and her nails grew long and black. Blue ice shot from her hands, aimed at Cain, and waves seemed to come from her body.
The ice seemed to go right through Cain, hurting him, and making him bleed out, but yet, going straight through him.
Cain fell to the floor in a blood bath. He kept trying to get up, but every time he tried, Seth shot another wave at him.
When it seemed that he was not breathing, Seth regained her normal form, she went back to where Abel still sat on his knees. She sat next to him, and held him up. Abel still couldn’t stand, but he kept his consciousness. Then, Seth felt Abel tighten his grip on his arms, tighter than before. Then Abel finally took in a deep breath, and lost consciousness.




Chapter 5
Life isn’t Free

Seth was old enough and was taught well enough to know how to put bandages on someone. She had bandaged Abel’s wounds, but she wasn’t strong enough to get him in his own bed, so she turned him over onto his back, and got him a blanket and covered him with it.
She was a lot more mature now. Dealing with one of her brothers like that made her realize that life isn’t free. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get what you want, and to keep your family safe.
Seth was sure Abel knew this. She was also sure, that he didn’t like to talk about it, because it reminded it of the night Cain left him in charge of the family.
Seth sat by Abel’s side until he woke, “S-Seth..” Abel tried to sit up and talk to her, but he realized that once again, he wore bandages instead of a shirt.
Seth looked into his blue silver eyes, and said, “Go back to sleep brother. It’s okay now. I won’t let Cain hurt you anymore, I promise.” Seth smiled and held out her pinkie. Abel held out his, and they made a promise.
Abel lay his head back down, and Seth stayed next to him. When she realized that he didn’t go back to sleep, she said, “ What’s the matter Abel? Are you still in pain?” Seth looked worried.
Abel turned his head towards her, and smiled his childish smile. “Yeah, a little, but I’m just thinking.” Those words turned off his smile, and Seth just kept looking at him, “Brother, something is bothering you. I can tell.”
Abel didn’t smile this time, but said, “It’s not as bothering as it is thought striking. I keep asking myself, why life keeps…well, how do I put this?” Abel looked as if he was struggling to find the right words.
“ Well, I was asking myself why these things are happening. Why doesn’t life just let someone die when they have a right mind to. I guess its just one of those things you can answer when you…when your on your deathbed.” Abel didn’t know if the words had come out as he had wanted, but it sounded like a pretty good explanation.
Seth took her eyes off Abel, and Abel turned his head away from her. Seth didn’t know what Abel wanted to hear from her, but she had something to say to him.
“Abel, life isn’t free, it never has been. Do you remember, a long time ago, when you were in a right gloomy mood, and Cain would always try to cheer you up? Did you know what that did to him? It left him upset. That’s what I mean. No matter how you try to keep someone from suffering like you, if you keep everything from them, it just hurts worse.” Seth didn’t know if she made a point, but she just had to say it.
Abel looked back at her and smiled again, “ You really have got a point there. You have grown up a lot, haven’t you?”
Seth smiled at him back.

Chapter 6
Abel’s Promise

The night that followed, Cain snuck back to the rozenkreuz on Earth.
When Abel woke, he had a mark on his hand, it was a six pointed star, and a rose in the middle, but when he looked at his hand a second time, it was gone.
He noticed that Lilith lay on the floor across the room, dead. Abel moved as fast as he could to get to her body, and held her in his arms. His tears fell to her. He held her tight, as if his life depended on it.
“Cain will not hurt anymore people, not as long as I can stop it. I will promise you, promise you, I will avenge your death. I will destroy him, or die trying.” Abel couldn’t stop his tears from falling. His teeth were bared and pressed together, to help him keep from crying out.
Seth had fallen asleep next to Abel, she woke to the sound of crying, and saw Abel holding Lilith in his arms. She saw that his cheeks glistened with tears, that his ears and face were red. She saw that even though he was in his human form, his teeth were sharp.
Seth got up and walked over to where Abel sat with Lilith in his arms. She bent down her knees, and wrapped her arms around him. She said nothing. She felt that if Abel wanted to avenge Lilith, it was better to let him. She didn’t want him to die, but, she also didn’t want him to be unhappy. He was, after all, her brother.
“Abel, keep your promise. But promise me, you wont get hurt. Please promise me, big brother.” Seth wanted his word. She wanted him safe. If he had to do this, she wanted his word he would come back.
“Seth, there is no definite answer to that, please don’t make me answer. I don’t want to make a promise, and not keep it.” Abel really didn’t want to make this promise, but Seth seemed to really want him back safe.
Seth wouldn’t accept that answer, “Please promise me, promise me you’ll come back!” Seth broke out in sobs, and Abel didn’t turn his gaze towards her. “Fine, I promise.” They held each others pinkies, and said, “I promise.”
Chapter 7
Cold Events


Abel kept his promise for months. He and Seth dropped to Earth to search for Cain. Seth had never forgotten Abel’s promise to her.
One day, Abel went searching for Cain, and didn’t come back, until late at night. When Abel did return, he was covered in blood, and Seth was asleep in her room. He walked into the bathroom as soon as he got back and cleaned the blood off of him.
It wasn’t someone else’s blood, it was his own. He had found Cain, but, he had the bittersweet end of the deal. Cain had some people with him, that attacked Abel without hesitation. Abel had bruises on his arms and face. His nose was bleeding a little bit, and the wound on his chest had reopened slightly.
When he had finished washing, he went and got some bandages and bandaged the bleeding wound on his chest.
He went to check on Seth, the he went straight to his room, and fell asleep almost instantly.
******************************************************************

When Seth woke, it was late morning. Abel was still in his room. She decided to go wake him.
When she walked into his room, she noticed that he had new bandages on, and he had bruises on his arms and face. She still hadn’t forgotten his promise to her. He had gone and gotten himself hurt.
She walked up to his bed, and noticed that there was something on his pillow, it was red and it seemed to be spreading in a circle, and then it just stopped.
She woke Abel and told him to give her his pillow.
He was protestant, but none the less he gave it to her. She examined it, and saw that the black thing was no more than blood.
She gave the pillow back to Abel, and asked, “What happened? There’s blood on your pillow.” Abel took the pillow and threw it onto his bed and he said, “ I went to find Cain last night, and did, but Cain got some “Friends” to come after me. I’m going out to find that jerk.”
As he was heading out of the door, Seth grabbed onto his arm and said, “Please don’t! I don’t want you hurt, brother!” Abel spun around to meet her gaze and said, “ I won’t be gone long. I’ll be back. Promise.”
Seth nodded and said, “ What will I do if you don’t come back? What will I do?” Abel just repeated his words. Seth let her tears fall, and gave Abel one last hug before he left. As he was half way out the door, she said under her breath, “ Please keep your promise. I have a bad feeling about this Abel. Please come back.”


******************************************************************



The next thing Abel is in his krusnic form and carries a blood red scythe as he walks towards a man with blonde hair. The man lay on the ground, covered in blood.
“Heh, kill me if you think you can, Abel….can you?” The man looked up at Abel. “Do you have to capability to kill me?” The man smiled wickedly.
“Be quiet Cain. I will kill you. I made a promise.” Abel raised his scythe, but before he could lower it onto Cain, Cain moved, and the scythe hit the ground. Cain appeared behind Abel and took out a thin sword, and stabbed Abel with it.
Abel fell, on his knees, to the dirty ground, covered in blood, and his life flashed before his eyes.
He remembered the days when he and Cain lived as happy brothers, he remembered how they stuck up for each other.
He remembered his promise to Lilith and Seth, and said, “I’m sorry Seth, I broke my promise. I won’t be coming back. Please forgive me. Please….” His red eyes returned to blue silver.
With that, Abel fell silent, and with a thump, he drew his last breath and his body hit the ground.
The only thing Abel knew before is death was that he broke an important promise to two people he loved, and lost his life because of it.
“We pay our respects to Abel Nightroad. He will always be special in our hearts.”
When the priest had finished the story, every one left the funeral home. One man stayed behind however, the man had blonde hair, and a cold voice.
“I knew you didn’t have a brain. Idiot,” The man reached out for Abel’s hand, and then laughed out maniacally. As his hand touched Abel’s, Abel’s hand grabbed his.
There was a scream, and the man never left the funeral home.

Chapter 8
In The End



the children watched, wide eyed, in amazement, as the campfire leader finished his story.
“Mr. Wachson, what happened to the blond guy, Cain?” one especially fat kid spoke out from the crowd.
The leader shrugged, then said, “some people say that he died in the funeral home. Some say that he escaped with his brother’s hand clutched to his. I say that he follows his brother every where he goes in death.”
Everyone of the kids heard a rustling in the bushes, one small girl said, “what was that?” she sounded fearful. And her eyes were wide with fear. Then out of the bushes came a man with white silver hair, put up neatly in a pony tail.
The man spoke with a light soft voice, “hello my name is Abel
Nightroad.”
