The preface opens with Alice having a dream: She dreamed of dead children laying in a pool of blood. She dreamed of a dripping sound and finding a body dripping of blood, also lifeless. She wakes up scared and falls asleep but another nightmare appears: She dreamed of hearing a dripping sound: "What the hell is that dripping sound?" she asked, and she goes to check as she turns off the faucet. But hears the dripping again later, "The hell? I thought I--" she muttered. She finds out it's the other bathroom and turns off that faucet. However, she hears the same dripping and she gets irritated: "Not again, jeez--" she mumbled. She finds out it is the kitchen. Nevertheless, she hears the dripping and goes to check, this time she's upset: "All right, that's it. Whatever it is, it could be--" but stop to find a bloody body hanging in the air on a chandler. Alice screams and wakes up to the sunrise, relieved that it was all a dream.
"Patroklos, I don't feel safe. Can we go home?" asked Alice. "But I thought you said it was fine." said Patroklos. Alice begged, "Please, I'm scared." Patroklos tried to convince her, "Alice, This creep isn't going to climb up here. Why would he do that? Even if he did, it's locked good." but stopped and realized something logic, "Wait, He might use that hook and break in and open the door." he noted. "Yeah, That's why I'm scared." Alice said. Patroklos sighed, "OK, Let's go." he said. Alice starts the car and Patroklos hears something scratching at his door, he is startled and turns around, "Holy--Did you hear that? It sounds like something scrapped against my door!" he exclaimed. "Relax, you must be imagining things." laughed Alice, "I mean, we got pretty nervous when we heard the broadcast." They arrived at Twisted Faeries, Alice got out to open Patroklos, but is shocked to find hanging on the door handle was a hook! Alice took the hook off and hide it in her pocket before letting Patroklos out, quickly, as she has nightmares of the psychopath.
The Finn couple needed some time off from parenting their children, Jackson, Jillean, and Rosalba so they call Alice. Alice and Patroklos arrived around 4:00 p.m. as they and the children had a nice time. But around 9 o'clock at night, The phone rings. Alice answered, thinking it is the parents: "Hello?" she asked. However she can hear heavy breathing and an insane laughter startles her before hanging up. "Who was that?" asked one of the children, Jackson. "Nothing, it was just some nut." replied Alice, "What did I miss?" At 9:30, the phone rings--it's the man that called before and he said, "Did you check the children? If not, I'll be there soon." he said and laughed maniacally before hanging up. "Who was it?" asked Patroklos, looking concern. "I don't know. Must be a crazy person." said Alice. At 10:00, the phone rang again and Patroklos, answered it: "Hello?" he said but he was frightened by the caller's creepy tone: "Did you check the children? One more hour." said the caller, he laughed insanely before hanging up.
"He said 'one more hour.' What's going on, Alice? Is this caller that's the the 'crazy person' from before?" asked Patroklos. "Yeah, but don't worry. He must be fooling around." replied Alice. "I'm scared, you guys." said Jillean. Around 10:30, The phone awakened as it awaken Patroklos so he answers it but it was the caller again. "Did you check the children? Very soon now." The caller said, he laughed and Patroklos demands: "Who are you? What do you want? Why are you doing this?" but the caller hung up. "Is it him?" asked Alice and the children. Shaken, Patroklos says: "Yes...OK, Now I'm scared. I'm calling 911 to complain." The 911 operator simply assured him that if that guy called again, he would try to trace the call. Around 11:00, the phone rang again and Alice answered it slowly while saying hello: "Did you check the children? Pretty soon now." said the caller, he laughed and hung up. Alice called the operator, and almost once she called back: "Alice, Listen carefully; That person is calling from a line upstairs. Did you hear me? He's calling from the upstairs room! I'm sending a police car, get everyone out there now!"
Suddenly, The attic door opened and a man walked down the stairs. Alice got the children out while Patroklos deals with the man, who was smiling in a strange way. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife, Patroklos fights him as the man, name Corbin Moonstone, who remarks that a 'child' like himself, Patroklos says he may look young but he is an older teen. Corbin attacks however Patroklos shows off, confidently, of his martial arts as he defeats him. Finally, the police found Moonstone and arrested him. It said that Moonstone was the lunatic with the hook and was looking for it. Alice gives the hook to the police and they left but Alice trembles when she sees Moonstone's creepy smile. Since the Corbin Moonstone incident, Alice and Patroklos are recovering by a kind nurse name Belva Damon. Belva invites them to her house and she provides shelter, food, and hospitality to the duo. Alice and Patroklos seem to like it here but soon discover Belva has amazing things that seem paranormal and fictional: There are paper flowers, the clouds are like cotton candy, the sky is purple mountain majesty, and fairies--It's titled Neverland's Finest Place. There is a lion, a white witch, a mouse, and satyrs. A magical place of prime stupefaction that isn't real but only real in dreams!
But Belva Damon is a disturbing woman that keeps a collection of horror films that are considered 'shocking' such as The Last House on the Left, I Spit on Your Grave, and more. Damon also cried over sad movies and would be seen with tears streaming down her face. Belva starts to behave badly towards Alice and Patroklos but begs them not to leave when they threaten to leave her. Alice and Patroklos learn that Belva is a child murderer and tried to escape but are locked away. However, A thief and hacker name Chelsea Glasgow helps them escape and tells them Belva used to kill her children differently. Chelsea tells Alice and Patroklos to take down Damon before she can do this to anyone else. Alice and her partner confronts Belva however she attacks with a stiletto but Patroklos and Alice fought back. It ends up with Chelsea murdering Belva mercilessly and helps the two escape. Chelsea disappears but hopes to meet again. While walking in silence, Alice begins to tell her terrifying tale: As a child; she befriend a young yet attractive young man name Carlisle Ludovico, who is a photographer, a guy good at math, and a good storyteller.
Ludovico was a friend of the family but one night changed everything. Ludovico lost his grips of insanity and he murdered Alice's family. Alice was transferred to a whorehouse, where she worked there as an exotic dancer. She suffered of sexual abuse, things that were sugar coated, and it was so horrible that she went to a mental recovery in Wonderland until she was discovered by Lady Blackfrost, who cared for her with kindness. Patroklos is amazed as he ask why didn't she tell him. Alice said that it was all because of the mental and emotional trauma she suffered from!
In the mean time, Maria Sophia is drugged and kidnapped by supermodels, who sold her to the Russian mafia for sexual slavery. Maria Sophia is hold captive in a tower, she is alone except for other girls. The girls talk about sleeping with different partners in order to gain money. Maria Sophia is horrified as she couldn't sleep and she has a lot of stress about the human trafficking because there is nothing she can do. Cimmeran and the Blackfrost sisters are searching for Maria Sophia however Shade suffers a hallucination as he flashbacks of Caryl again: Young Cimmeran is searching panicky for his sister, but Caryl turns out that she was away at school so Cimmeran waited for her to come home.
All of a sudden; Maria Sophia remembers her powers of Aries and she smiles coyly of a plan she came up with in her mind. Dancing for a couple of guys, Maria Sophia gets the highest bet for her virginity, but before she does 'it' though she has a look of indifference on her face. She takes off her rob, revealing a red, white, and black lingerie as she transforms into her Aries form and burns her client into the fire. Maria Sophia watches with sinister across her face. Cimmeran, Kira, and Megan enter as they are shock of what they are witnessing. Remembering the Shiloh incident, Cimmeran and the Blackfrost Sisters believe that could be some sort of serenity to avenge the memory of what he did to her.
One day, it was payback; Sylvia, Heath, and Poppy are seen walking towards the high tower of Twisted Faeries, where a smirking Alice is waiting. She remarks that they are 'fashionably early', "Especially you Poppy." said Alice with low malice. "Please tell me you are not still mad from last time?" asked Poppy, annoyed. "Oh yeah, let's just say that I am." Alice said bitterly. Just then, Maisie's voice startles the others, "You think you're the only one?" She falls off the top and lands perfectly on his feet. "I got some angst against this chick!" "Me too." said Maria Sophia, appearing from the left. "I do as well." said Amber, appearing on the right. "You think you can beat me?" asked Poppy with a sneer. "Is that a challenge?" inquired Maisie. "Absolutely." Poppy answered and attacks.
The fight begins as Sylvia, Heath, Patroklos, Odelia, Claire, Ashton, David, Vetchling, Neon, Cimmeran, Kira, Megan, Jane, Leon, and Hero watch this intense battle until a voice screeches, "Wait, my demons! I will happy to aid you unclean maniacs!" It was Edward, Bruno's hyperactive yet insane friend. "Edward!" exclaimed Sylvia with glee. Edward looked at her with wide, horror eyes before pointing and yelling, "DEMON!" The joins Alice, Maisie, Maria Sophia, and Amber in this battle. He glances at the girls before doing a flaring arms dance briefly. Maria Sophia is the only one giggling while the girls give Edward weird glances. Poppy remarks before attacking, "Look out, my darlings!" she sang. "Oh, you better not." warned Edward. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!" cried Poppy before attacking as Edward takes the hit.
The fight continues as Sylvia notes on how impressive that Poppy is not breaking a sweat, unlike the other girls. Heath reminds her that his sister went crazy during training. Knowing this is going to be brutal, Sylvia encourages Edward to finish off Poppy, "Do it for, Narnia!" cried Sylvia. Edward suddenly snapped as he becomes hysterically dramatic. "Yes, for Narnia....FOR NARNIA! WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Edward outrageously headbutts Poppy in her chest. "Oh, crap!" Poppy cried in pain. Edward stares at her on the ground before pumping his fists in the air. "I win!" He announces, "I am King of the Demons, yaaaaaahhhhh!" "Any comments?" Sylvia asked. Edward stands like a shoulder after letting out a whoop, "My work here is DONE!!!!!!!!" He exclaims. He walks away as the others stare at him, Sylvia laughs and says: "What would we do without Eddie."
