Visionary Kiss I & II & III

Visionary Kiss II Part 4

"Yeah? Well...I'm sure she's not a total loss."

Evelyn was stunned and furious, how could somebody like him, this ugly smelling American, speak to her this way and the only thing her brother did was smile. She could not believe it and if she had not been in this place she would get one of her moods.

A glance over her shoulder did not help to calm her down. Willow was still giggling and looking everywhere but at her. In her rage she only heard the Warden call
out that he would be back in a moment and O'Connell's reply."I "I tremble with anticipation."

"Evey calm down, he knew that you would react this way. And to be honest after what you said and the way you looked at him." Willow did not finish the sentence, as she looked back over to where Rick was, he was hit over the head for his misbehavior, and it made his face bounce off the metal bars.

He knew better than to show the pain he was feeling, as he looked back sending the Guards a nasty look. For the first time Evelyn had a chance to see his face,
yes he still smelled and yes he still did not look like the men she normally found attractive, but there was something about him that made her step closer to the bars.

She knew that she was starring and so she tried to save the last remains of her pride.

"We uh...found... your puzzle box, and we've come to ask you about it."

"No."

"No?"

"No. ...You came to ask me about Hamunaptra." Again he winked at the only person who had not been sockedcked by his words. He wondered why he had the feeling that this woman knew much more about Hamunaptra than he ever would.

He had learned to listen to the feeling in his stomach and so he took it as given that the redhead was not to be feared, at least he did not feel as if he was in danger around her.

In the mean time Evelyn and Jonathan quickly looked around, hoping the guards didn't hear him. They then stepped closer, Evelyn played coyly, watching his face.

"How do you know the box pertains to Hamunaptra?"


Willow could only shake her head. She had more than once in her life asked herself why the mythos of James Bond was still alive. The only British people she had
known were Spike and Giles and neither had been able to play secret agent and what she was watching now made her think the same thing about her two new
friends.

"Because that's where I found it. I was there." Evelyn was dumbstruck, Jonathan looked suspicious and Willow had a wicked little grin on her face.

"How do we know that's not a load of pig swallow?" This got O'Connell's attention. He looked closer at Jonathan, with a glint of recognition.

"Hey, don't I know you?"

"Um, well, you see...." he was stopped as Rick's fist came flying through the bars, hitting Jonathan square in the jaw, causing him hit the ground. Out cold.

A Guard clubbed him, so his head against hit the bars and like he had done it the first time O'Connell showed no pain, only that nasty look, the one that made him look dangerous.

Evelyn looked down at her brother, then to Willow, who was leaning against the bars. The Witch looked into the blue sky, like there was nothing special about this day, this place or this conversation.

"Evey wants to know if you were actually at Hamunaptra?"

"I just decked her brother."

"Yes, well, I know my brother." She shrugged her shoulders.

O'Connell almost smiled at her words, there was a bit of spark in this girl, or woman from what he could see from her body under the ugly clothes.

"Yeah, I was there."

"You swear?"

"Every damn day?" Willow added, making Evelyn send her one of her nasty looks. This only impressed the smiling man. She had fire that he had to admit.

"No, I mean..."

"I know what you mean. I was there, alright. Seti's place. The City Of The Dead."

"What did you find? What did you see?"

"I found sand. I saw death." For the first time since he had spoken his first words he looked onto the floor thinking about all the men that had died, all the blood that had been spilled and then he remembered the thing that was even worse.

He was still bound by his memories as the warden entered and so Evelyn leaned closer to O'Connell, so close that their noses were almost touching.

"Could you tell me how to get there? The exact location?"

A wicked smirk made its way onto his face, together with a glint in his eyes that caught Willow's attention. She moved to get a better look at the couple and the sparks that had started to fly.

"Want to know?" he whispered, Evey moved closer.

"Yes."

"Really want to know?" She leaned her face right up to the bars, nervous and exited. Not knowing if it was the information, this man or both that made her heart
beat in a way she haver ver felt before.

"Yes."

Rick made a quick move and their lips touched. It wasn't a soft loving kiss, it was teasing with just a hint of his tongue that touched her bottom lip and then it was over.

"Then get me the hell outta here." The same Guard that had hit him the last time did the same exact thing again but before Rick had a chato rto react, he was grabbed and yanked away from the bars and drug out.

Evelyn was stunned, never in all of her life had she been kissed that way. But even worse was the need of more; she wanted to be kissed again, by him.

"Where are they taking him?" Willow asked the Warden as he looked at his dirty hands, cleaning or rather he tried to clean them with a sharp looking knife.

"To be hanged." The warden showed the woman his green teeth. "Apparently, he had a very good time."


EXT. GALLOWS COURTYARD - DAY

Willow looked around to see hundreds of filthy Prisoners staring down onto the gallows as the hangman's noose was draped over O'Connell's head and cinched tight around his neck. She and Evelyn followed the warden onto a balcony above the gallows, where they had a good view into the court.

The prisoners all went deathly quiet at the sight of the two women, the same way they had done the first time that they walked through. They looked like jackals staring at fresh meat.

"No women allowed." Called the warden as he became aware that the woman had followed him.

"She is American and I am an English woman." Evelyn stated as if this would change the fact that she was a woman. This seemed to confuse the Warden, he wanted to
send them away, but then something entered his mind. It was like a cloud that made him unable to think, so he shrugged and sat down.

Evelyn made her way to the chair beside him and took her place, while Willow moved over to the wall. Leaning against it, it was as if she melted into it. For everyone surrounding her, she was not longer there and that was what she had wanted. It gave her the freedom she needed to call her power.

First it was only a dark spot in the middle of the green depths but like water bubbling out of a fountain, the darkness soon had taken its place in her eyes. They were no longer green and white, it was like looking in the depths of the Universe, cold and inhospitable, and looking down onto O'Connell who looked up to Evelyn.

"I will give you one hundred pounds to spare his life." Money was the only thing that could save him that was something that Evey had learned and so she had to try it.

"I would pay one hundred pounds just to see him hang."

"Two hundred pounds."

"Proceed!" was his answer.

"Three hundred pounds!"

O'Connell could hear them, most of the men in the prison either looked forward to his death or was looking at the woman, so it was silent enough. Slowly he felt a little hope that this would not be the day he would die.


The man turned towards Rick, this made the American unable to further watch Evey and for a short moment he was afraid that this ugly man could be the last thing
he would see in his life.

"Any last requests, pig?"

"Yeah, I'd like ya to let me go."

The Hangman looked a little confused at this, he wasn't sure what to do next and so he turned toward his boss.

"What is his last wish?"

"He wants me to let him go."

"Are you stupid?"

"I GIVE YOU FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS!" Evey was already red from the screaming and then the Warden laid his greasy, lecherous hand onto her leg.

"And what else?"

Now Evelyn had enough, she shoved his hand away, not thinking about the consequences. And so he felt insulted, angrily he turned away and made a gesture to the hangman, who pulled the lever.

The trapdoor dropped away.

"NOOO!"

O'Connell dropped though the hole, the rope played out to then jerk taught. His sna snapped at the end of the rope, but he was still alive.

"His neck didn't break! Good! Now we watch him strangle to death."

The prisoners freaked out, screaming and shouting in anger, which made the guards look around, nervous suddenly. It was known that in cases like this the person would be pardoned.

O'Connell struggled all the while at the end of the rope, gagging. Evelyn was horrified, she glanced back to take a look at Willow, but then she quickly turned to the warden the then whisper in his ear.

"He knows the location to Hamunaptra."

The warden spun around and faced her, all color drained from his face.

"You lie."

"I would never!"

At the end of the rope, O'Connell was no longer choking and gagging. He felt something wrap around his body and held him in place, the cord around his neck wasn't cutting into his flesh. Now he was really confused.

"Are you saying this filthy godless son of a pig knows where to find The City Of The Dead? Truly?\ "Y "Yes and if you cut him down, we will give you ten percent."

"Fifty percent."

"Twenty."

"Forty."

Evelyn hesitated, biting her lip, she looked down onto the man that was all this about. His eyes bulged as he looked up at her, he couldn't believe this girl.

"Give.... give him.... give him GLAAAA..."

"Twenty-five percent, and not one single farthing more." This made the warden flash her a big ugly green smile, he then he yelled in Arabic. A scimitar slashed the air. The rope was cut and O'Connell crashed to the ground, all the prisoners burst into cheers. As O'Connell looked up at Evelyn. She smiled broadly and waved down at him.
