Chapter 11: This is It
Selene is still pouting in her room, she was on her left side, not facing the door. Endymion enters as he saw an empty plate and glass, "You ate all of it?" He asked. "I had to choke on it, just because I didn't want it to go to waste." Selene muttered. Endymion glanced at her, he nodded and then took the tray. "You tired yet?" He asked. "What do you think, Red Coat?" snapped Selene. "Don't start with that again." Endymion said. "I don't give a damn, OK? You think I care? Daddy cared about me lots! He really did, in a way that my shrew of a mother wasn't! I don't want to talk to you now, I'm going to sleep!" Selene claimed. She pulled the covers over her head and stayed there. Endymion looked at her with a sad look before he walked out. Once Endymion had left; Selene came out of the covers and pulled out her phone. It light up where her face is bathed in white as she grinned in a sinister matter. In the meantime; Lavinia has been acting erratic and in distressed, her behavior begins to worry the others. Just then, she ran away from them because she received a text about how someone called 'Moonkitten', who claims that she knows her because Lavinia killed Sean Griffin. Lavinia was horrified as she flee. But receives another text from Moonkitten who claims Sean is being reincarnated into another boy name Mateo Renton. Lavinia was so happy to see this news, as her team was trying to find her. They had no idea where she was, they feared that she might be suicidal and if they don't find her, it could be too late!
In the meantime at a hotel; Mateo looked over at the skyline and saw a beautiful sunrise. "Wow. It looks like it's going to be a great day." murmured Mateo. He saw people walking by the beach but something strange along the shore. It looked like a body however from the distance he was at; it was hard to tell. Mateo left the balcony and went down to the beach. He went over to the body, which was a young man: It was none other than Lavinia. "A girl? How--" Mateo wondered. He puts his ear to her chest, Mateo listened for a moment, and then he gasped. This girl was alive, much to his amazement, this lovely creature was still breathing!"Hey, hey. Are you OK? Please, wake up?" chided Mateo, softly. Lavinia stirred in his sleep and moaned, then her opened his eyes. She saw Maeteo, startled she sat up. "You--you saw me here?" She asked, stammering. "Sure did." Mateo replied. "I saw you lying there, I thought for a second you were dead." Lavinia panicked, she pulled out a knife, she aimed at her heart and prepared to kill herself. "NO!!!!" Mateo cried, he seized her wrist as he struggled the knife away from her. Lavinia didn't have the energy to fight back, she looked weary and exhausted. Well, for someone who washed up on shore; she didn't look so good. Mateo seemed upset, "What in the hell would you try to kill yourself like that? Don't you know what life has in store for you? Don't do this to yourself, please!" He ranted but stopped as he had no point in talking to the girl. Lavinia stare at her with a stoic look, before pulling out a gun. "Sorry." She said, "Time to say goodbye." Mateo looked at her, terrified. Lavinia looked at his face, somehow he reminds her of someone she once knew. Sean, smiling at her: "Don't forget what I told you, Lala." Lavinia trembled as she begin to clutch her head. "No, Sean....I--." She muttered as she lowered her gun. "Sean, I'll never forget. I just want to let you know, I love you..." Mateo looked at her with concern, "Hey, are you OK? Can I get you a drink of water or something to eat?" Lavinia was so in devastation. "Sean..." She whispered. Then, Lavinia nearly fell on her face but Mateo caught her in his arms.
"Can I ask a question?" Mateo asked. Tamsin nodded, "Shoot." She replied. Mateo inhale and exhale, "Who the hell is Sean?!" He demanded in exasperation. Tamsin looked embarrassed. And so she explains to him about the boy, Sean. Mateo is stunt by this, so he has an idea as he decided to posed as the ghost of Sean. Tamsin is unsure, but Mateo is willing to rescue Lavinia in any way. Once Lavinia woke up from being unconscious; she saw herself in a mist land and get up to explore. Then, she saw a familiar figure greeting her. Lavinia felt tears in her eyes, "Sean...It's you!" She whispered. 'Sean' smiling at her, "Lala." He said. Lavinia's smile slowly turned into a horrified look, "...Oh god, you're dead. I--I'd kill you." She said. 'Sean' reaches out to her, "Lala--" He tried to say. "No!" cried Lavinia, "You're dead, you have to be...Please, don't hate me." "Lala, please. It's OK, you are forgiven." 'Sean' said, it was Mateo in disguise. Just then, Lavinia begin to writhed on the floor. Her body parts--Hands, fingers, toes, feet, and legs--begin to twist around on their own. "Stop....Please, stop! I can't take much more of this...." She begged. "Accept my offer and I'll let you breathe!" Selene replied. "NEVER!" screeched Lavinia. "Fine. I'll make you suffer more and more...AND MORE!" cried Selene. Lavinia begin to cry, it was too much for her to bare all this pain. "Sean...!" She thought through her tears. "I'm sorry, I've failed you. Forgive me..." As she wept of her tears; A shimmering light appears before her. Lavinia looked up, she saw that it was Tamsin. "Is that you, Tam?" Lavinia asked. "You're going to be OK, Lala. I know you ere forced to kill. It wasn't your fault." replied Tamsin. All of a sudden; Metatron couldn't believe what he was seeing, "What--?" He said. Just then he was seized by two hands and looked up to see who it was. "What the hell did you do to her?" demanded Endymion. "Looks like Miss Murderer is feeling under the weather now, ain't she?" Selene snickered. Endymion pulled her away, "Why would you do this?" He demanded. Selene smirked at him, "I just want to remind them of all the things they've done! And they deserve it, I'm so lucky that I don't have to go through shit like that! I'm Daddy's princess!" She claimed. Endymion was disappointed, he looked at her with no surprise: "So, you did this to her. I should've known." He said. "That's right, I did. She killed Sean, she did it!" Selene exclaimed. "You're wrong." A voice said, Leander appeared before her, "She was forced to kill."
Selene scoffed at this, "Yeah, right. That's not what I was told." She said in a snarky tone. "It was a lie." Leander replied. That is where Selene couldn't take it, these people were lying. Well, she'd showed them! "You people are ruining my life, so has he!" Selene exclaimed, pointing over to Endymion and begin to throw a childish tantrum, "Nobody understands the love my father has for me! He is the best father that any girl like me should have! I'm the lucky one!" Selene screeched. Lavinia remembered something, she remembered when she was little: She thought Commander Longstride was the best father figure. But it was a lie, a mask, no truth to be told and denial she lived in as a different person. Lavinia takes out a razor and is about to bring it to her throat, but Tamsin was faster and stopped her. She wrestled the razor away from her as Selene giggled with sadism. Endymion dragged her away as Lavinia was crying and spluttering, "I hate him! I hate him!" was all that she could say. Tamsin hugged her, comforting her. Lavinia is in the mental hospital ward, she will be treated for her suicidal behavior. Tamsin looks through the glass where she wonders about who she is. Leander approached her by her side. "She going to be OK?" asked Tamsin, not looking at him. Leander nodded, "Yeah, I think she will." He said. "How do you know..If she's going to..." Tamsin started to asked, but Leander glanced at her with a smile, "Because I do." They left and in Lavinia's slumber; she begin to have a nightmare of the execuition: She was standing over behind him as Sean was brave as martyred towards a bunch of fearsome, tear streaking faces. "Lala? When you kill me, please be sure that you remember the love and the care I've given you. Don't ever forget what I've given you." said Sean.
Lavinia was shaken but she had to keep her arm straight, "Please....forgive me...." She thought tearfully. And she pulled the trigger. In the void; Lavinia screamed: "Oh God, what have I done? What have we done?" She cried and cried until there was nothing left. Lavinia's team always came to her visit her, no matter if she's unconscious or not. They feel guilty for the way they treated her earlier. They never knew she was suffering and at that time, they were feeling selfish and blood-thirsty, as well as brutal as barbarians. When they weren't around, Lavinia woke up but she always think of them. Later; Lavinia was in her cell, she was watching a movie emotionless, and alone she was in that small ward of hers. But outside, people are watching and monitoring her intensively. "So, any reason why she's here?" asked one person. "Who?" asked the second. "Her." said the first, gesturing to the girl in the cell. "Oh, this is Lavinia." said the second. "Are you serious?" the first was surprised. "I'm dead serious. She was once part of IEPS, those bastards mistreating those poor children and making them into weapons." replied the second. While asleep; Lavinia dreamt that she was a ballerina in a music box. Twirling around on the pedestal all the time when she suddenly realize that she has been doing this routine a lot lately so she got down and peered at the glass she is trapped in. She tries to break it down but she is hit by some force and panics. But she calms down, wandering who might set her free. She waited for the day to come but it never it did. She got up as she peered in the glass to see outside, when she saw something terrifying but saw it was a butterfly fluttering.
Lavinia seemed relieved until the butterfly fluttered away and Lavinia saw that it became a bat. Distressed in the music box, Lavinia finally learns that the only person that is able to set her free is herself, she noticed her arms and legs--even her face and skin was cracking. So, once more she begin to crack the glass again and then she also shatters her skin open as she becomes anew. But she found herself falling into the darkness however she looks around to find herself to fresh grass and sunshine. She saw a butterfly fluttering and pranced around happily. Looking around to see that she felt free. Just then, She can hearing someone calling her name, "Lala? Lala? Wake up!" Lavinia wakes up as she could see it was, "Mary?" She rasped. She embraces her tightly. "You're here!" She said softly. Mary picked up Lavinia from the seat and escorts her out of the asylum. Into the car as they both drove away. "So, how are you feeling?" asked Mary, gently. "OK." Lavinia said softly. "Are you hungry? Would you like something else to eat?" asked Mary. "Maybe...Just a little." admitted Lavinia. And they drove to a fast food place to eat. In the meantime; Leander is reading a story in Karina's diary:
In the past; The princess, Peninah Fisher, has a small kingdom. Her father, Yevgeny, promises an education for his daughter and son, Hugo. Yevgeny also hopes to celebrate the wedding anniversary with his dear wife, Wanetta. After finding a pearl; Yevgeny sees visions of a great future for him and his family however a dragon god cause bad luck for Yevgeny, Wanetta, & the children--especially the death of Hugo. Finally; The pearl is taken from Yevgeny by the sea dragon god. Peninah is a shell diver that is the oldest daughter that searches for the lost pearl her father had and it was taken by the dragon god so she goes to retrieve it. While swimming; Peninah is being pursuited by an octopus and its spawn: One of the octopus spawn seized the shell diver and Peninah kills it. Seeing this; The octopus and its spawn sprang a trap for her as they tormented her her! Peninah is tortured by the octopus however she recovers the pearl and makes her escape. Back on land; Peninah is traumatized by the torment she suffered. She never told her friends nor her family for she was afraid of being mocked, or cause humiliation towards her family! Peninah trains herself as a fighter to take her revenge against the octopuses. Realizing she cannot do this alone; The pearl diver goes to the mermaids and managed to persuade them with the pearl. Peninah and the mermaids head towards the sea with Peninah as a shell diver again but this time, she wore protective gear made out of algae & sea anemones.
Peninah and the mermaids found the octopuses as Peninah identifies the octopuses that sexually assaulted her! Peninah took down the octopus spawn as she tortures them before butchering them, brings them to the mermaids and eats the dead octopuses. The mermaids cooked it properly as they eat them while Peninah violently chopped her food and ate. The shell diver and the mermaids head over to fight the octopus however they are confronted by the newly revived, once instinct sea monster vampire squid. The vampire squid tries to tentacle rape towards Peninah but kills it while having that to eat after she and the mermaids cooked it properly. Finally; Peninah and the mermaids confront the 'big daddy' octopus as the mermaids plays with it while Peninah strikes at it with her weapon. Finally; Peninah tortures it and violently eats it. She also finds the sea dragon god, who reveals that he plan that penetrate move on the pearl diver. The mermaids slays the dragon god out of rage as they skinned it and made a big dinner for themselves and the shell diver. Peninah returns home as she tells her family that the dragon god is slayed and they lived happily ever after. Eventually in that process, Peninah finally open up to her rape and revenge story to her family, which is famous beyond generations from the ancient times to modern times.
Leander is quite interested, he found it quite dark and believes Karina had a traumatic childhood, which he now knows. He continues to read more as he discovers stories and a few more poems in the journal:
Melancholy of Noises
This poem is about my
depression with my hypersensitivities.
Depressed.
Angry. Sad.
Confused.
Low self-esteem, longing for perfection.
Hatred towards self for as I am.
Wondering 'why'.
Numb, misunderstood.
Hatred to the loudest speakers.
Searching for a remedy of quiet and peace.
Need acceptance, need more understanding.
Wonder why, I can't shut up my ears.
I really can't, I've tried so hard though my mind's in a jumble.
Life is hard, half of everyone doesn't comprehend.
Noises so loud, no matter how I tried I can't lower it.
Tension of the Merc with a Mouth
This poem is personal. It's about someone
I used to know for 5-6 years, who was talking loudly and
got on people's nerves. Not gonna say his name, as I said
before--NOT. Gonna say his name, he remains anonymous.
Your voice is so loud, can't you shut up?
You like to annoy me, you like to get my
attention. Here's a hint--I'm not into you.
I don't go for the immature! The repeater!
The irksome kinds. Police reinforcements,
Juan Ciervo, who the hell cares? You think everything's
a criminal offense. You're so annoying. So nosy.
Childish. I'm not into you. Leave me alone, I'm tired
of you talkin' about my old shoes. I want you to quit it,
I don't give a damn because your voice is sonorous. I can't
concentrate, you merc of a mouth! Because you can't shut up!
You want attention, manchild. Grow up and get real.
I Just Wanna Be
This poem is mixed feelings about me
being someone different and not be me
for once in my life.
I just wanna be normal, it's better than being different.
I just wanna be beautiful, it's better than being plan ugly.
I just wanna have friends, it's better than being a loner.
I just wanna be special, it's better than being common.
I just wanna be loved, it's better than being abhorred.
I just wanna be badass, it;s better than being weak.
I just wanna be--Whatever I want, instead of being weird.
Floozy Bimbo
Molly Malcom, that name makes you want to cringe. Who wouldn't cringe at that name? Molly has been doing a lot of things that shock people and also disgusts them but her fans love her despite all that. Which is a lot of people are left to scratch their heads over. The most disturbing is when she dances in a sexually provocative manner, which it involves thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance. Her wearing suggestive clothing that involves baring midriff, no pants, shorty shorts, and ones that showed her exposed stump. It was like she was a prostitute. And she admits that her songs are about drugs. Molly wasn't like this: She was once a saccharine, cutesy pop princess alter ego--Golly Molly. There was a sitcom about Golly Molly's town however it ended as Molly wanted to focus her career on music and left her acting career behind. While working in the studio; Molly meets a lot of R&B artists and rappers: Al Capone, Scottie Kane, Alice B. Toklas, Back Jack, Big Harry, Crazy Eddie, Doosey, Don Jem, Heroina, and Dr. Feelgood. Molly and Scottie got to know each other better as Scottie got to know her parents, Adam and Candy. Molly got to know Scottie’s family too. There was Angel ‘Angie’, Bamba, Bale, Baby T, Bernice, Billy H., Cecil, Chippy, Cloud, Cory, and Dice. Molly made friends with a lot of dark skinned, sassy girls too such as Coco, Scottie’s sister.
There was also Mari Juana, Barbie, Belladonna, Angola, Bo, Hera, Bickie, and three aunts—Nora, Mary, and Hazel. Molly calls them her ‘Black Beauties’, they are part of Molly’s performances. It was beyond disturbing. The horror, the absolute, repulsive horror. She has some troubled suitors—Gasper, George, Cid, Henry, Arnold, Dooley, and Henry. At an award show; Molly used some sort of foam finger for inappropriate uses. The only question is why would her fans still support her? Apparently Molly is a bad influence on some people…Define, some people. While she is not performing onstage, Molly does all kinds of bad stuff: She steals things from stores. One time, she went shopping and saw a bear attired top. What does she do? She goes and steals it! She smokes cigarettes, marijuana, and she snorts cocaine & coke. She drinks alcohol, or poison as she likes to call it. Any kind of alcohol—Beer, wine, rum, vodka, champagne (she mixes it with drugs), Peppermine schnapps, and she has house parties, where they do bizarre things.
Leander is rather surprised by this, he seems curious to know more about her:
Funny Home Videos—Yeah, Define Funny
Fuuny Home Videos—they are a long-running television series that features home video clips sent in by viewers, the show can be considered the proto-Reality Show concept, as it existed through audience interaction. At the end of most episodes, the producers pick three clips for the studio audience to vote on for prizes of $2,000, $3,000, and $10,000; the big money winner goes on to compete with other weekly winners for a $100,000 prize later. They say if you wish to send in your own funniest home videos then you should send stuff that is funny and original. But lately, it’s not funny at all. You see, every time the joke in a video is an elderly person falling or getting hurt, or a child. Rather grating to see a toddler run over their infant sibling, then have the audience laugh uproariously. Heck! You could say any time a video shows anyone getting hurt, which is most of the time. One show had a musical montage of angry/crying small kids angrily shoving other small kids over, usually causing the other kids to cry. It was a bit jarring to hear the studio audience laughing at the clips.
There was one clip where a kid was crying because he had diarrhea, while the mom was just filming and laughing; only the family dog was being nice to the poor kid. The worst part? This one won the $10,000 prize. Another video of a kid who accidentally took a restraunt's reusable cup home in the car and his mother was recording him and telling him she's going to report him to the cops or something similar and, no surprise, it won at the end of the episode it was shown in. Another clip where a kid's parents give him a small cake for getting good grades, only for them to reveal it's actually a toilet paper roll covered in frosting. The child understandably cries his eyes out while his parents act like jerks, all while the audience is laughing. The clips with people vomiting are just cruel; the person is sick and they are being recorded and humiliated on TV while the audience just laughs. The voters on this show really need to learn that it's Funniest Home Videos, not Cruelest Home Videos.
I HATE ‘YO MAMA’ JOKES!!!!!
Leiry and Reily are two class clowns who have a history of saying jokes. But today, they said some pretty mean ‘Yo Mama’ jokes. “Yo mama is so fat that her bellybutton gets home 15 minutes before she does.” Leiry teased. “Yo mama is so fat that when she was diagnosed with a flesh-eating disease, the doctor gave her ten years to live.” Reily countered. “Yo mama is so fat that when she wears a yellow raincoat, people yell ‘taxi!’” remarked Leiry. “Yo mama is so ugly that her birth certificate contained an apology letter from the condom factory.” mocked Reily. “Yo mama is so ugly that that your father takes her to work with him so that he doesn't have to kiss her goodbye.” Leiry teased. “Yo mama is so ugly that she tried to take a bath and the water jumped out!” replied Reily. Little did they know that Ingrid was walking by but when she heard them saying ‘Yo Mama’ jokes; she was very offensive by that. She loved her momma, what’s the matter with that? How dare someone made up those jokes about their mothers. That is just cruel. So very cruel, bet their mothers had done so much for them. That is what she hates, the ‘Yo Mama’ jokes. Nobody says that, noooooobody! “Yo mama has so much hair on her upper lip that she braids it.” called Leiry. “Yo mama is so hairy that Bigfoot wants to take HER picture!” Reily countered. “Yo mama is so hairy that she looks like she has Buckwheat in a headlock.” mocked Leiry. “Yo mama is so dark that she spits chocolate milk!” ranted Reily. “Yo mama is so dark that she went to night school and was marked absent!” teased Leiry. “Yo mama is so dark that she has to wear white gloves when she eats Tootsie Rolls to keep from eating her fingers.” rambled Reily. It didn’t stopped as Ingrid was getting closer. “Yo mama is so old that her birth certificate says ‘expired’ on it.” mocked Leiry. “Oh yeah? Yo mama is so old that that when she was in school there was no history class.” remarked Reily. “Yo mama is so old that I told her to act her own age, and she died.” countered Leiry. “Yo mama is so old that she knew Burger King while he was still…” They both were bonked on the head, both by Ingrid who exclaims humorously, “I hate YO MAMA jokes!!!!!” Leiry and Reily couldn't believe this, “What? Why?” They asked. “My mama is in her 50’s, she complains on how she gets old! And she’s fat and tan, and doesn’t feel PRETTY enough! You insult my own mother? You must die!!!!” Ingrid cried hilariously. And she walked away, leaving the boys flabbergasted.
Most Annoying Person Ever
Annoying people, don’t you hate them? They wear size 5 shoes, they make a stupid face when they don't understand something, and who consequently are making a stupid face all the time, they have the most annoying voices. The kinds who latch onto you and rant about everything they can think of until your ears bleed. They talk loudly in public places about their personal problems. People who repeat themselves or talk to you as if you were 4 years old. They think they can sing, but who really can't. Whoever decided that The Merchant of Venice was somehow inappropriate to study in school. Their mothers let their ‘manchild’ screaming in stores, spending their entire summer vacation standing around in their yards and screaming at the top of their lungs, mimes, say ‘nucular’ instead of ‘nuclear.’ These kinds of people who continuously call you ALL THE FREAKING time and don't get the hint you DON'T want to talk. Take Sabrina’s classmate, Basil Hank for example. He maybe be diagnosed with autism however he doesn't have the right to annoy almost everyone else. Basil picks on Sabrina. If Sabrina presses the elevator button, trying to be nice but Basil got aggravated. “Don’t press the elevator button!” He said loudly in her ears. Or when he compliments her shoes like a hundred times, “I like Sabrina’s shoes, they’re my favorite brand called Road Runners.” This guy was going between liking Sabrina as a friend, then annoying the hell out of her, and when Sabrina blows off steam by how annoyed she is; Basil gets upset, not realizing that he’s annoying her. It really was irritating. Sabrina had been dealing with this guy from 5-6 years, or 7 despite the New Year and how they are nearly graduating. It’s been hard but Sabrina had to look on the bright side. When they graduate this year; she won’t have to deal with him anymore. But sadly for Sabrina, she is kind of annoying to her younger brother.
Leander believes that she wrote this about her brother, her younger brother. He continues to read the next but found dark and sad:
Lucia was known to be a liar; she was a bad liar and a bad girl to start with. She goes too far as her older brother, Thoreau, exposed her online of pictures of her tantrums as she lost friends and she is so ashamed that she packs up and leaves her home. She begins a new life, avoiding to talk to her friends, and she then takes an interest in parties and sleeping with guys. Although angry with her; Lucia's family still loves her. One month later; Calvina, Lucia's mother, invited Lucia for a reunion with friends and family. Lucia didn't respond but she finally responds with a 'fine! I'll come to this damned party.' When Lucia arrived; she was dressed in tight fitted outfits, she's smoking, and drinking. She swears a lot as she oppresses everyone she meets: Lucia makes fun of the girls, she makes fun of her friends, she gets all trashy with boys, and bullies the others. Everyone remembers the sweet, innocent girl Lucia was as they wondered what happened to her! Lucia claims that her 'sweet self' is gone and is 'never coming back'.
During the reunion; it gets intense but it all comes crashing down when Lucia gets into an aggressive fight with Thoreau, when her attorney arrives as he comes to say that Lucia is suing Thoreau for 'verbal abusive'. Lucia smirks at her family as she claims that they hate her now and she walks away. Calvina, Thoreau, and Audvin are upset but Freda promises to help them get through this. In court; Lucia claims that Thoreau ruined her life with those pictures and says that he's been mean to her, to her mother, and to her little brother Audvin. She claims her father had 'messed up her big brother', and now Thoreau became 'a monster'. After the trial; Lucia's friends beg her to come back but Lucia acts like they don't exist and she sticks her middle finger, laughing hysterically. After having enough of this; Freda confronts Lucia, who fakes that she is sleeping but Freda can't stand it and the two of them argue. However; Freda finds out that Lucia had been cutting herself and convinced her to get some help however Lucia laughs at her for being delusional. Freda reveals to Calvina what Lucia has being doing to herself, Calvina goes and talks to her daughter but Lucia accuses her of letting Thoreau bully her and Calvina stops her from saying such things.
She said that her brother has been helping with the family, Lucia refuses to believe that because she says her brother is a jerk and ruined her life. She tells her mother to go away. Then, She closes the door on her mother's face, Calvina walks away crying. Lucia is hurt inside as she is feeling suicidal but a man stops her and convinces her to find happiness in family, in God. Lucia says that her family betrayed her as she hates her life; hates her brother for ruining his, and hates herself for being a liar! The next day at the part of trial; Thoreau finally apologizes to Lucia and begs her to come home but Lucia calls him pathetic, saying that their mother told him to say that until she collapses and is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, Lucia is revealed to have a panic attack and if she doesn't get off of the drugs, it could get worse. Lucia is told that her family loves her but Lucia tearfully confesses that she took drugs because of what she did and hates lying. She begs to drop the charges, she says she'll move back, and she will go to therapy.
The trial has ended, the charges against Thoreau are dropped, Lucia moves back home, and she goes to therapy. She ask for help for all the lies she told! Although things were not perfect for the family; still it was enough.....
Leander liked that story a lot and moved onto the next one, which sounded girly:
My name is Missy, you might know me as the diarist from "To Ledger". This is sooo embarrassing to write about bishonen sonnets but I am proud to announce that I'm an anime fan. Like many anime fangirls, I gotta thing for bishonens. What is 'bishonen'? It's Japanese for 'pretty boy'; Shonen is also Japanese for 'boy' but I'm sure most fans have heard of that before. If you think about it, the word 'shojo' is Japanese for 'girl'. If I were a boy, I would have a thing for bishojo, that means 'pretty girl' in Japanese. But alas, I am a girl with a thing for 'bishonen'.
3 Blue Men
It's like angels came down from heaven, save me from my own living hell. My heart was scarred and they healed me from all the abuse. Pretty boys like them are made out of angel wings, sweet words, and beauty from above. It's so nice to have someone say such honeyed words to make my heart sing. These boys don't try to use women, they like all girls--despite their age--how sweet! I wish I had them to myself, or one of them.
Even an angel can have clipped wings, Poor Hundred Nights lost the love of his life. Almost fell into madness
The Pretty Boy Named Oscar
My dear Ozzy, I understand you love your beloved inspector. But fan girls, like myself, have an obsessive love for your curse-beauty. You hate Fujiko Mine with a passion, the loathe you have her seductive charms, but I don't like how you call her 'pig' or 'pig lady'. The word you say makes me both squirm & tingle in a good way, what word is that? "Spittoon", that is. You call her a 'spitting smoker'? Well, she's not just a 'spittoon'--She's a 'mighty, fine spittoon'. When you knock out that femme fatale; it totally scared me. I love the way you recite a poem in a passionate way, I love the way you sound so hot as you pour red wine over Fujiko's naked body, you mused over your addicting infatuation. The way you lick the red wine off the unconscious Fujiko's lips. How you purred, how you look so much like a girl and you did it so that girls would drool, get aroused, go insane for you. You want your revenge so badly? Give it all you got, pretty boy.
For the time being; Karina is doing an investigation alone, where she is entering the domed city of Yomi Sphere. She had heard of some sort of 'hell on earth' scenario, but she begin to sing when she was bored: "I feel numb most of the time, lower I get the higher. I'll climb, and I will wonder why, I got dark only to shine. Looking for the golden light, Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice. Burn, burn, burn bright." She repeated the verse but then she added a different verse: "...And I'll light up the sky, Stars that burn the brightest. Fall so fast and pass you by....Cough like empty lighters..." She stopped and then she sang again, "...And I'll light up the sky, Stars that burn the brightest. Fall so fast and pass you by, Spark like empty lighters..." She entered it the Yomi Sphere: Karina discovers an underground place of 'eternal damnation' of Yomi Sphere where they see people are tortured by 'demons'. In Yomi Sphere's Hellhole, She can see people in there as she is being tortured there for her crimes. Karina is horrified and learns of the video footage of the victims in the cellar are place under an illusion that they are buried alive. Later; Karina is cornered by Elah. She remembered Elah, he was stalking and trying to prey upon to grope her and penetrated her but Karina's gang rescues her. Just then; Tamsin, Leander, and Heroica try to rescue her but they failed. Elah kidnaps them as he explains how he was upset at Karina for rejecting his gifts of 'love' and he turns out to be the evil force that had been torturing his victims for bullying him and place them in the delusional Hellhole after spending time in the cellar--which is an illusion for being buried alive and dead already.
Elah attempts to attack when Idina appears, in a black hood, with a hawser and using the hawser to choke Elah; killing him while screaming: "Stop it, sick bastard!" Karina watches in amazement as Elah's blood drops on her body and Idina doesn't stop until the crazed attack falls down dead of blood dripping still. Karina is shocked as she watches Idina unlock the cellar and lets Tamsin, Leander, and Heroica out. Karina is hysterically crying but doesn't know why. Leander comforts Karina as he tells her, "You are not alone." "What do you mean?" asked Karina, through her tears. "We understand why you were trying to sing in the siren voice, you were seeking out friends of your own. You were seeking out acceptance, weren't you?" Heroica replied. Karina looked down as she begins to speak: "The others, they think I'm weird. Funny. But...I don't want to be. I want to be loved, I want someone to come over and tell me that I'm something to them. I don't want to be look down upon or...Be the 'butt' of every joke. I don't want to be teased about on how funny my teeth look. Or how big my.....bust is." said Karina. Tamsin looked at her and put an arm around her, "You don't have to be cool or somebody else to be part of something. Be yourself. We, of Blue Moon, would accept you with open arms." She said. Karina looked at her with a look of astonishment. "You mean it?" "Yes, we would love to. I learned my mistakes of destruction and learned to recreate myself. You should too, learn what to do and how you might get people to like you." Idina agreed. Karina smiled, "Finally. I found people to accept me as I am." She thought. She felt like crying tears of joy. All of a sudden, there was a short quake that shook the ground. Tamsin and the others glanced over, who are shocked to see who it was. "Oh crap!" Tamsin said. "Damn! Zombies?!" Leander hissed. "Hero, take Karina and go." He ordered. Heroica nodded, she escort Karina away.
Just before the zombies appeared; A female cyber voice says: "Level One, The Lost World." Tamsin and Leander shoots the zombies as they make their way through until they end up being chased by a horde of dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus (T-Rex), Velociraptor, Dilophosaurus and Triceratops. Leander looks horrified at this, "Jurassic Age...It has been reborn." "They're coming!" Tamsin cried, starting to run. They managed to defeat the dinosaurs while running! Tamsin and Leander are walking but Leander stops her as he gives her a gas mask, Tamsin asks why does she need this and Leander explains that there is a poisonous atmosphere. A female cyber voice says: "Level Two, The Poison Belt." Tamsin and the others fight their way in the belt as they face a monster! They reached to the Land of Mist as they fight in the fog while defeating unknown shadow folks and they hurry away to find soft yet dampened ground, which Leander gets out two shovels and they begin excavated. In Level 4: When the World Scream; Tamsin and Leander reached a mantle while digging and open it but a giant creatures approaches as he attempts to cover the do with noxious liquid but Leander and Tamsin dodges it. Tamsin remarks how gross and nauseating to her. Leander ask if green really makes her loathsome however Tamsin points out that she likes 'kelly green' and they fight the monsters, defeating them. After the battle; Tamsin entered it alone. She walked into a dark room and looked around. "Where am I?" She wondered. "It's been awhile, Tammy." A voice said. Tamsin turned around to see a spotlight of a dark silhouetted figure. "Giovanni Longstride." Tamsin replied. "You've grown." Giovanni said, the lights turned on and Giovanni stood up tall, hands behind his back.
"Tell me, why would you let me suffer? Let others suffer in the claws of the IEPS?" asked Tamsin. Giovanni comes over to her and begin to talk, "Here's one reason why and I'll tell you....Children who are Ophelic or highly functioned are more likely to be much smarter than the normal brain of a human. But I will tell you the truth, Tamsin, they will not likely to have any of this. Have you noticed how many have committed such self infliction to themselves." explained Commander Longstride. "That's because they are mistreated, all because they cannot behave right." Tamsin replied. Giovanni turned to her, "Ah, that's where you are wrong. They cannot be normal, they cannot have jobs, they have to be medicated and being overprotected for the rest of their lives." He ranted. "That's not true!!!" exclaimed Tamsin. She looked down, "People like me, people who have different minds than normal, they have dreams. Maybe they have trouble with communication. But with a lot of help and encouragement, they can have futures in life." She said. Commander Longstride almost laughed, "Help? Encouragement? That is not how it is. My daughter needs to be more disciplined. She will never have a future in life." He said. "Well, how should I know. I don't have a father." snapped Tamsin. "What if I told you that I was your father?" Giovanni sneered. Tamsin didn't look surprise, "I knew that." She said. Giovanni's sneer faded, "How..." He started to ask. Now it was Tamsin's turn to smirk at him, "Leander told me." She explained. "I was shocked and I had a meltdown. I remembered you once called me 'spittoon'. Yes, I am spittoon--And I'll always be spittoon to you. But I have friends who care about me. I am something to them."
"You really are a selfish jerk-off of a father aren't you?!" "Oh, am I? I think you should....LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!!!" Giovanni cried, throwing Tamsin to the ground. She gets up but saw Giovanni with his sword. "I'm going to finish you just like I did with Sean!" Giovanni exclaimed, raising his weapon as if he was ready to stab her. Tamsin cringed away, but she noticed she was dying and looked to see Idina and her friends were defending her. Tamsin was touched by this, Giovanni couldn't believe it: "Impossible!" He shouted. "Nothing is impossible when you got friends like us!" exclaimed Jackson. "We're not going to let you get away with this, Tam is our friend and she stays with us." With every punch, with every kick, and with every throw of a combat attack; Commander Longstride was defeated. Tamsin looked down at him, she wanted to kill him, to end the pain. But for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Even though he was responsible for what he did at IEPS; Death will not be bestowed upon him. "No." She said, "I can't kill you. No way I can but there's one punishment I can think of." Then she raised her foot up and crushed it against Giovanni's knee. His knee break, Longstride let out a scream of pain and clutched his leg. Tamsin stands over him, Giovanni glares at her. "You little brat, you will be punished." He threatened. "You don't scared me." Tamsin replied, "I'm no longer scared of you." She turned to her gang of friends, who smiled at her, and she smiled back. Then, Tamsin looked at Commander Giovanni Longstride and said, "No bad deed goes unpunished, all the things you did. But I didn't give you death, so be thankful that I spared you but once you recover from punishment, I hope you have a happier life."
Giovanni looked furious, but he smirked and said: "That doesn't matter, I still have Selene. She matters most to me." "You lying son of a bitch!" A voice cried, Selene stood there. Her hands balled into fists, which punched at her sides. "You lied to me, you manipulative bastard! You made up things just so I believe you! You're sick, so sick and evil!" She screeched. Tamsin looked at her surprised, she didn't know how she get there. Selene looked at Tamsin more apologetically, "I'm so sorry for all the trouble I caused. I truly am and I want to make it up to you--All of you." She said, gesturing towards the others. "What made you change your mind?" asked Tamsin, shocked by all this. Selene had tears forming in her eyes, "I heard everything Daddy said. And I just want to say...I made it all up, everything about my dad was a lie! I try not to think about the times when he was angry, when he didn't want to talk to me. I denied everything, everything! And I hurt so many people so much and I'll bet everybody hates me..." Selene sobbed. Karina put an arm around her, "Not everyone hates you, I mean I don't know you but would you like to be my friend?" She said softly. "Really?" asked Selene. The two girls embraced each other however the others learned something shocking from Tamsin: Her mother is buried alive and she is still alive, Longstride had been keeping her alive all this time! Tamsin took a shovel and digged her up but stops when the shovel hit a coffin, a glass one! Tamsin uncovered the coffin and saw her mother unconscious so Tamsin pulled out her ax and cracked the coffin open. Her mother, Nikita, woke up gasping sharply. Tamsin and Idina were tearfully overjoyed at this so then, they embraced their mother. Later, The Tanners were leaving their friends to have 'catching up to do'. Tamsin is upset as she begins to cry, but she is grouped hug by her friends, who were crying too. Leander and Blue Moon were sad about this too but they reassured the tearful Tamsin that she'll come back soon. Tamsin nodded and so she turned her back but one day, no, one year later she will be back. Augusta and Milena and the others made a difference to convince the school, where the ones mistreating the kids are fired and they got better ones to treat them right.
Karina is accepted by those from the other worlds, who were now surprised to find out that she is the mysterious singer as she is offered to sing. Later at karaoke; Karina was standing nervously in front of the microphone and begins to sing the song she was about to sing. She opened her mouth, singing:"I was pulling out my hair, The day I got the deal. Chemically calm, Was I meant to feel happy, That my life was just about to change." She looked out to see Leander nodding at her with encouragement. Karina continued to sing, "One life pretending to be, The cat that got the cream. Oh, everybody said 'She is a dreamer'. People like to tell you what you're gonna be, It's not my problem if you don't see what I see. And I do not give a damn if you don't believe. My problem, it's my problem, That I never am happy. It's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die." She stopped to take a breath and begins to sing, "Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Are you satisfied with an easy ride? Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?" She then stopped and sang again, "Sad inside, In this life. Unsatisfied praying...Sad inside, In this life. Unsatisfied waiting...Are you satisfied with an average life? Do I need to lie to make my way in life? Are you satisfied with an easy ride? Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?" Then she ceased, she begin to chant the ending of the song: "Are you satisfied, are you satisfied? Are you satisfied, are you satisfied? Are you satisfied, are you satisfied?"
Once she belted the last lines; there was a short pause before an applause. Karina smiled nervously, feeling proud. But looked over to see Adranus smiling at her. Karina blushed, thinking: "Oh shoot, he's hot.....I wonder how do I ask him to go out with me?"
