Chapter 6: I Owe You My Life
A young boy was just a step away, just a breath away. Close to the edge, he couldn't believe himself. He was so scared, the boy could not take it anymore and he spread his arms out before falling. However when he was in midair of falling; someone--or something--seized him before he went down. The boy was shocked at this! Who would do something like this? He looked and there he saw a stranger, it was Yvain. Yvain was using his telekinesis to save the boy from falling to his death. The boy couldn't believe what he was seeing, he just couldn't believe it! Yvain used his mind powers to gently pull the boy up back to the land and back to reality. The boy was amazement as he sat there for a moment, trying to process of what just happened. He begins to cry when he remembered his friends, it would pained him if anybody learn that he took his own life like this. The boy saw that Yvain was gone and he made a vow to find the guy that saved his life by finding out his name! The boy found someone that did know, it was an agent from Bronze Branch--one of the operations that Antrocles and Yvain formerly used to work for. The boy demanded out of that guy, "A guy with supernatural telekinesis powers that saved a boy from taking his own life by falling off the cliff, where is he?" The guy told him and the boy went to where Yvain was. He sneaked in as he spied on Antrocles, Yvain, and the others as they learn about where to find Cassandra. Xian interrupted this meeting, "Hold it, nobody is going anywhere!" The others froze with fear, the boy glares at Yvain and called out: "Stop right there, you!"
Earlier before.....
At the nightclub Rhythym Blue tonight; Damon and Heidi, hidden above the ceiling watching the people, were going after the entire club because the residence there has the vermin of the world inhabit it where they make cruelty and mockery of the vermins in the lower zoo by stripping their beauty into filth with their greed and victimize them for the things they've been through. "I'm starting the explosives, this club is going down--Correct Damon?" Heidi asked. "Affirmative, wait until I give the signal." answered Damon. Heidi nodded and continued to work while Damon watched the others talking, laughing, and partying. Luckily nobody could see him since the ceiling was shadowy and dark as it is bright with neon lighting down there. He spotted the most well known vermin of them all--District Attorney Fraus Dolos, the man who represented criminal Elizar as the jury found the guy 'not guilty' and there was no justice. Now here Fraus was surrounded by females, who seduce him as he drinks away. "I see, so the worst vermin of them all is here in Rhythym Blue." remarked Damon, to no one particular. He snickers to himself as he looked around from above, "This place is going to hell in about one hour." thought Damon. But then something changed, he saw someone among the vermin crowd. She wasn't even a vermin. It was a young vestal woman with the purity of a child. She is woefully naive, without too significant a difference, but in all she almost has never have any flaws that actually affect them in a way that truly matters, usually going for endearing traits such as beauty and innocence. She wore a white off the shoulder dress with a white collar, 3 buttons down the front and a side zipper closure.
The collar didn't cover the slenderness of her neck. She seemed sweet, young, beautiful, innocent, and wholesome maiden. She was covered in a sash too, as if she was cold--which she does. Damon is fascinated with this girl. The beauty, the innocence. She was perfect. He had never seen someone like this young lady, she looks like a teenage girl who is hanging out with the wrong crowd. This charming beauty is none other than Ophelia. She was with Cassandra as Damon remember seeing as well as talking to her. "Heidi, hang on!" Damon commanded to her. Heidi look up, "What is it? I'm almost done." She said. "Just--Wait. Keep working on it, wait until I come back." explained Damon. He swiftly pass the others and sneak into the crowd. He was inching to Ophelia but Heidi's voice squak on the earpiece communication: "Remember, let me know when to activate the bombs." Just then, Ophelia heard this and saw Damon: "Wait, there's a bomb?" She asked in disbelieve. "Uh oh." thought Damon, "Nice one--Heidi." Ophelia glared at him, "Are you responsible? Wait--Are you crazy?! You--" She started on him but Damon cupped her delicate face and pulled her close in a liplock kiss. Ophelia was stunt for a moment before she swoon. Damon carried her and slipped her away from the crowd. Cassandra has a vision of Ophelia getting kidnapped as she realize something is wrong when all of a sudden, there was a loud boom sound and the crowd scream. There was the remains of Fraus Dolos and also there was a report that Elizar had been blown to pieces. In the meantime; Ophelia was half asleep to feel someone caressing her hair. "You have such long beautiful hair." A voice murmured, who touch her hands. "You have really delicate hands. So small...."
Ophelia woke up and confronted Damon, who try to calm down but then he noticed her chest. "Pardon my inner deviant; but you have a very vast size of breasts." He said. Ophelia look down at her chest and glared at Damon. "Ughhhh, I know I have large bazookas, will you stop talking about them? All right!" Meanwhile; Cassandra was trying to find out where Ophelia is, she is getting clairvoyant visions and she can Damon there. She is shocked when she remembered something: The dinner party. However, Damon walked over at Cassandra and took her hand, the girl looked at him. "Your hand is like a holy place that my hand is unworthy to visit. If you’re offended by the touch of my hand, my two lips are standing here like blushing roses, ready to make things better with a kiss." He said. Cassandra looked at him, "My good man, you don’t give your hand enough credit. By holding my hand you show polite devotion. After all, roses touch the hands of people." She said "What? Don’t people and roses have lips too?" asked Damon. "Of course, why wouldn't they?" said Cassandra. "Then don’t move while I act out my prayer." Damon said. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. The girl flushed, she went away. "By any chance, can art thou tell me thy name?" Damon inquired. "My name is Cassandra." said Cassandra. She went away and Damon watched her go. Cassandra couldn't believe this! "He's got Ophelia." She thought.
Cassandra contact Eulalie, who was on her way to help her, however she runs into Pythias and his gang, whom they remember her. Orvor tripped and gave the trio's position away and Eulalie confronted them again, "How did you get in here? And why did you come? If any of my comrades find you here they’ll kill you because of who you are." Pythias showed his respect by bowing to her on one knee and he then spoke to her bravely, "I’m sorry I caused you so much trouble. I care about you a lot. Please let me be your servant so I can help you. You’ll be killing me if you don’t." Eulalie looked at him with shock, turned away and then she said with nervousness back at him, "...Well, it's a good thing you can’t see my face because it’s dark out. Otherwise, you’d see me blushing about the things you’ve said to me tonight. I would be happy to keep up good manners and deny the things you said." "Then, forget about good manners." suggested Pythias with a warm smile. The other children in the facility called IEPS where special needs are treated like they are not human and mistreated badly. It was a living hell for the poor children. Later; Xian is standing among the school. The children of the academy are almost violent but misunderstood and nonverbal people. They may be whatever age they are but still act quit childish. They have sensory stimulation, social triggers, communication problems, and unusual interests. They have disheveled hair. They are running around babbling lyrically about the strange visions flashing through her deranged mind, singing creepy little rhymes, scattering flowers and occasionally bashing people's heads in. There is bustling with noises of crying and scolding. Mornings go like this: There is prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, sing along, they have to do work, and one of the students have learning therapy. Then they go out for P.E., the children finally come back to go to the bathroom, and have lunch. In the afternoons; the children have different classes like TaeKwon-Do, they have music but some are hypersensitivity to the noises, and they go outside to play. They have snack and then they go home. The kids in the middle school have a different lesson in class: They have prayer and the Pledge, they have work to do. Next they go down for P.E. and then snack, then they go back to do their work, and finally they have lunch. They have music or some of them are having physical or learning therapy.
And lastly they go home. There are some stressful days of kids having major outbursts that would go on for minutes, maybe hours. Some who are disobedient, and some that make accidents. For Xian; it was like a day care. Insanity, the other staff members acted apathetic of the situation as it seem. But it wasn't like they care but they try to calm them and they've experienced such as getting bitten and scratched. At the end of the day; The two of them are exhausted, Xian begins to think of the abuse he suffered when he was a little boy. He realized that a couple of teachers are mistreating kids, keeping them from having fun because they can't 'behave right'. Xian is troubled by this, they think these kids should be positively reinforcement and not be handled roughly. Xian been through that, these kids shouldn't be treated this way and something must be done. He realized that a couple of teachers are mistreating kids, keeping them from having fun because they can't 'behave right'. Something must be done. Later in the late afternoon; Xian was walking alone in the woods with nothing but a gun and he was looking out for anyone who might want to try and hurt him. Xian has never seen trees so big, he has been isolated for so long that he didn't know what things are called anymore. Just then, some rowdy teenagers were stalking Xian, who noticed and walk further but the teenagers were still following. Xian took out his gun and held it at them, the teenagers laugh however Xian pulled the trigger. He was upset for what he done that he threw the gun on the ground and with great strength; smashed it into pieces like crazy. Xian was just a step away, just a breath away. Close to the edge, he couldn't believe himself.
Xian was so scared, he could not take it anymore and he spread his arms out before falling. However when he was in midair of falling; someone--or something--seized him before he went down. Xian was shocked at this! Who would do something like this? He looked and there he saw a stranger, it was Yvain. Yvain was using his telekinesis to save the boy from falling to his death. The boy couldn't believe what he was seeing, he just couldn't believe it! Yvain used his mind powers to gently pull the boy up back to the land and back to reality. Xian was amazement as he sat there for a moment, trying to process of what just happened. He begins to cry when he remembered his friends, it would pained him if anybody learn that he took his own life like this. Xian saw that Yvain was gone and he made a vow to find the guy that saved his life by finding out his name! Xian shot all the Pretas that stood in his path. Finally; Xian found someone that did know, it was an agent from Bronze Branch--one of the operations that Androcles and Yvain formerly used to work for. Xian demanded out of that guy, "A dude with supernatural telekinesis powers that saved a boy from taking his own life by falling off a cliff, where is he?" The guy told him and Xian went to where Yvain was. He sneaked in as he spied on Androcles, Yvain, and the others as they learn about where to find Cassandra. "Great!" Androcles exclaimed. "Let's go, we have to find her." said Yvain. Xian interrupted, "Hold it, nobody is going anywhere!" The others froze with fear, Xian glares at Yvain and called out: "Stop right there, you!" Androcles and his comrades tried to escape however the boy found them and confronted Yvain, demanding to know why did he help him and Yvain showed him memories of Androcles's past, their lives, everything:
There was a little boy chained to a wall as a 'toy' to sate a monster. The poor boy looked up, he was trembling with fear. "Wanna play? We'll have fun--Just you and me!" A sickening sweet voice squealed. The little boy begged for mercy, "Please! Don't do this to me!" But that person didn't listen. The first thing that happened to the boy was that he was pushed into a wall. His fingers put high above his head against the wall, the boy's legs spread apart and his feet back, causing them to stand on his toes with the weight of the body mainly on his fingers. The boy then suffered from branding on his skin and mutilation. The second was he was trapped. The lights flicked on and off until it was pitch black. He couldn't see and he felt like he was being violated. It hurt him so much, he couldn't stand it anymore! He cried and cried, begging to stop but he could hear laughter. It drove him insane. The third thing that happened, he was subjected to noise: holding him in a room where there was a continuous loud and hissing noise. The boy begin to lose his mind almost when he thought he heard creepy singing but held it together as he managed to get out alive. Through the fourth step where he is depriving of sleep! He couldn't sleep because he was too scared of nightmares of what he went through. While in the chamber; he is subject to a reduced diet during his stay! "Help me!" He cried. Just then, he doesn't having enough strenght any more to think, he is too tired from what it is he is suffering from. He naturally concludes that he's going insane. Then he heard the song of the tormentor's voice singing like a lunatic, "One little, two little, three little Indians. Four little, five little, six little Indians. Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians. Ten little Indian boys......Ten little, nine little, eight little Indians. Seven little, six little, five little Indians. Four little, three little, two little Indians. One little Indian boy." "Stop!" cried the boy. Then, his tormentor fell down with fear. He was killed by a telekinetic force and became anew.
“All right, you bastards!” A gruff, tough guy barged in wearing a tank shirt that showed his muscular arms and wore military jeans with boots. “Which one of you sons of a guns trashed my boys?!” He growled, “I don’t have time for games, nobody messes with me and gets away with it scot free! Personally, I don’t think your powers are fake.” ranted the tough guy. “Wow! Someone who doesn’t believe….A hero defending humanity from monstrosity.” the first out of the duo said. The second one scoffs a little. “Yeah, you think your hot shit don’t cha? Well, you know what I think! If you had powers, then kill me right now!” challenged the tough guy. “You mean it? OK, as you wish.” said the guy, pointing a gun at him with his mind. The tough guy recoiled in fear. The other three looked on. Gasping in horror at this. “Hey, bro. Take it easy, I was kidding. I joke…C’mon.” The tough guy said, weakly. The first one attacked the tough guy with a telekinetic force, throwing him over his crew. “Aah!” The others cried, they saw the tough guy’s body landed on the ground. “My bad. no I wasn’t.” sneered the first. The throws on the ground as he crushes his leg slowly. “Do you know who I am? My name is Androcles Stelios. Like my powers, bud? Mind over matter. I don't need my strength to deal with low life scum like you.” said the guy. The tough guy begs for mercy but Androcles doesn't and he torture him to the point of being crippled. Androcles and his comrade, Yvain Aste--They both have telekinesis. Their other companions are Hijiro and Maud, who are sidekicks even though they are not telekinetic. They vowed to take down one person who is the most powerful: Cassandra Endymion.
Androcles and Yvain glared down at her. "You....!" Antrocles growled. "....Casandra Endymion." finished Yvain. Cassandra gasped, "What the--No, it can't be!" She knew who they were! "Yeah, Big Bad from Bronze Branch! What's the matter, scared?" taunted Androcles. "I'm not scared of you, not both of you." replied Cassandra, she turned around and walked away proud. "Hey Cass, wanna see something really scary?" called Androcles. Cassandra laughed with no humor in her voice, "Like hell." She hollered back. "You know a place called Decimus Manor? I heard it's pretty haunted there." said Androcles. Cassandra turned to him, "What makes you think I'd go there?" She snapped. Androcles smirked, "You really do like a challenge don't you? I heard there's ten little kids there. But be careful, there's three monsters living there." He said. "Ooh, I think I'm going to wet my pants." mocked Cassandra, turning away but Androcles was still persistent. "Why don't you find it? It's on 10th Indian Street." He called out. Cassandra smirk at him, "10th Indian Street? I'll see what I can fine." She said with sarcasm. In the meantime; Yvain is reading part from a book: "Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, Night, has flown. Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone; And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad, And the musk of the roses blown. For a breeze of morning moves, And the planet of Love is on high, Beginning to faint in the light that she loves on a bed of daffodil sky, To faint in the light of the sun she loves, To faint in his light, and to die....." He stopped to see Maud nearby, "Did you write that for me?" She asked. Yvain smiles, "No, it's written by Alfred Tennyson." He said. Maud looked disappointed, "That's a shame, will write something for me one day?" She asked. Yvain nodded, "One day, I will. Promise." He said. Maud beamed with pride.
Just then; Yvain and Maud could hear someone humming so they saw Ophelia balancing herself on the sidewalk as she sang to herself in a pretty but eerie sound to her voice, "Miss Lucy had a baby, His name was Tiny Tim. She put him in the bathtub, To see if he could swim.He drank up all the water, He ate up all the soap, He tried to eat the bathtub--But it wouldn't go down his throat. Miss Lucy called the doctor. Miss Lucy called the nurse. Miss Lucy called the lady, With the alligator purse. In came the doctor. In came the nurse. In came the lady, With the alligator purse. 'Mumps' - said the doctor. 'Measles' -said the nurse. 'Nothing' - said the lady with the alligator purse. Out went the water. Out went the soap, Out went the bathtub, that wouldn't go down his throat. Out went he doctor, Out went the nurse. Out went the lady, with the alligator purse. And now Tiny Tim, Is home all better, With his throat cleared up, And bubbles no longer there." Yvain is interested to know who she is and hid himself to get a better look at her without being seen. Ophelia sense someone was there so she turned and looked into the shadows. "I know you're there, don't be scared." Ophelia called out. "I'm not scared." answered Yvain simply. "Then come on out." Ophelia urged gently. "What if you get scared of me?" asked Yvain. "I won't." promised Ophelia. Yvain hesitantly comes out of the shadows as he reveals himself. Ophelia didn't look scared, she did look surprise though. She ogled at him before finally saying, "I know who you are." Yvain looked at her with slight nervousness, "Who am I?" He asked in a cool tone. Ophelia smiled, "You're an angel!" She exclaimed. Yvain looked at her with total confusion. Maud watched Ophelia curiously and Yvain begins to talk to her, soon he could see how innocent she is as he was ashamed of what he is so he couldn't tell her.
Later on, Cassandra was going back but heard Androcles and his friend, Hijiro, chuckling over the place they lured Cass to go there. They laugh at how those ten kids of how funny it was when those kids died under different circumstances. When Cassandra heard this, she was shocked and angry at this, she dared not to admit that she went there which they will get the last laugh out of her. She decided to go after them with a plan. However, Thalatte had something in mind and gave Androcles, Hijiro, Yvain, and Maud annonymous tasks: This Preta took women as hostages to its lair in a cave, luring warriors from nearby towns to save the damsel in distress. After entering the cave, the warrior would see the woman and rush to her side. Once he was close, the woman would turn into a Preta and torture the warriors and giving them to Thalatte. However, Yvain was smarter as he and Androcles stunned the beast with their powers and, using their immense strength, strangled it to death. Thalatte was angry at this defeat but she didn't stop there. For Androcles and Yvain then confronted another Preta, where their powers cut off each of his heads they found that two grew back, an expression of the hopelessness of such a struggle. However, Yvain came upon the idea of using a fire to scorch the neck stumps after each decapitation. Androcles cut off each head and Yvain cauterized the open stumps. Seeing that they were winning the struggle, Thalatte sent a large crab to distract them. But Hijiro and Maude crushed it under their feet. A third Preta was terrifying. Whoever dared to look into its face ended up being turned into stone. Hijiro and Maud held a mirrored shield for them, to see a reflection of the Preta’s face and to avoid being turned into stone. Finally, The Preta saw its own reflection from the shield and turned to stone. Now, Androcles used his telekinesis to behead it. They were faced with a fourth Preta inside of a labyrinth. Inside the maze; The duo were faced with the fourth Preta where it had horns on its head which they grabbed and kept on twisting the great head from side to side. As the animal grew weak, Androcles gave one almighty tug on the head with his mind, turning it almost right around. The Preta's neck snapped, it gurgled its last breath and fell to the floor with an enormous crash to the ground.
Cassandra found a sign that said, 'Stand Here' and stood and let herself be laced with the new laces. But she was laced so quickly that she lost her breath and fell down. Not long afterwards in the evening Brother 10 came back at how how shocked they were when they saw dear Cassandra lying on the ground. They lifted her up, and, as they saw that she was laced too tightly, they cut the laces, then she began to breathe a little, and after a while came to life again. Annis offered to comb her hair properly. But Cassandra felt the comb in her hair than the poison in it took effect, and she fell down senselessly but Brother 10 looked and found the poisoned comb. They taken it out when Cassandra came back to life. Cassandra reached over for an apple but she hardly had she a bit of it in her mouth than she fell down. But Mimir came by as he reached his hand over Cassandra's throat, and a piece of the poisonous apple came out. And before long she opened her eyes and came back alive. She didn't know what was going on however Cassandra continues to be tormented by an unknown person with telekinesis like her: The first thing that happened was when Cassandra was telekinetic pushed into a wall. Her fingers put high above her head against the wall, Cass's legs spread apart and her feet back, causing them to stand on her toes with the weight of the body mainly on her fingers. She managed to break free but she knew it wasn't over yet. The second was she walked into a chamber and all of a sudden, she is trapped. But then the lights flicked on and off until it was pitch black. She couldn't see however she could hear voices and it drove her insane. But she found the exit while walking aimlessly in the dark. The third thing that happened, she was subjected to noise: holding her in a room where there was a continuous loud and hissing noise.
She begin to lose her mind almost when she thought she saw Bael, Asmodeus, and Decarabia but held it together as she managed to get out alive. Cassandra goes through the fourth step where she is depriving of sleep! She couldn't sleep because she was too scared of nightmares of the three Pretas she saw before. While in the chamber; she is subject to a reduced diet during her stay! Poor Cassandra never even thought of such a thing, that it was not her mother at all, but a wicked werewolf, to pretend that he was the werewolf as the lady herself. "Come and sit down beside my bed, dearie," wheezed the werewolf, "and let us have a little chat." Then the disguised werewolf stretched out his large hairy paws and began to unfasten the basket. "Oh!" said Cassandra, "What eyes you have, Mom!" "All the better to see you with, my pet," grinned the werewolf. "What great arms you have, Mom!" Cassandra said. "All the better to hug you with," said the Wolf. "And Mother," gasped Cassandra, "what great sharp teeth you have!" "All the better to eat you with!' growled the Preta, springing up suddenly at Cassandra. But just at that very moment the door flew open, and Jack and the others rushed in with their weapons, and killed the Preta. She wakes up and still hear the voices in her head from yesterday. Cass will never forget whoever did this to her and she will revenge one day.
Meanwhile; Yvain was writing in his notebook but he heard rustling and closed his notebook as he prepared himself but jumped when the figure jumped in front of him and smiled. It was Ophelia! "Oh, I remember you!" Ophelia said with delight. Yvain is shocked, "Um...How are you?" He said. "What are you doing here?" Ophelia asked happily. "Uh, writing?" answered Yvain in a questioning tone. Ophelia looked at him with happiness, "You write?" She said, Yvain nodded. Ophelia grinned and pulled out her notebook, "I write too!" She said. Yvain looked at her with surprise, "Really?" He asked. Ophelia opened her notebook, there she had such perfect and nice handwriting. Yvain is nervous about letting himself trust her. Yvain explained he is not sure on trusting other people and doesn't agree with her suggestions. "Why not?" asked Ophelia. "I can't ask a stranger I don't know on my writing." Yvain admitted. "You're not a stranger, you are a fellow writer like me!" Ophelia protested. "What do you know about writing?" Yvain asked. Ophelia looked at him, "I know that you and I have a great friendship. You don't have to be scared." She pleaded. Then she had an idea: "Well, how about you and I write?" asked Ophelia. Yvain look stunt. "What?" He asked. Ophelia sounded excited. "Yeah!" She squealed. Yvain wasn't amused, "I'm sorry, why do you want me--?" He said. "I mean, whatever you want to share then I won't tell anyone and we can give each other criticism." Ophelia started to ranted but Yvain begin to cut in. "Whoa, whoa. Slow down. I'm sorry. I --!" Yvain started to say, however Maud whisper to him, "It's all right, Yvain. Make the girl happy." And so he accepts.
In the meantime; Yvain begins to read a poem in his book, "Ten little Injuns standin' in a line, One toddled home and then there were nine; Nine little Injuns swingin' on a gate, One tumbled off and then there were eight. Eight little Injuns happiest under heaven. One went to sleep and then there were seven; Seven little Injuns cuttin' up their tricks, One broke his neck and then there were six. Six little Injuns all alive, One kicked the bucket and then there were five; Five little Injuns on a cellar door, One tumbled in and then there were four. Four little Injuns up on a spree,One got fuddled and then there were three; Three little Injuns out on a canoe, One tumbled overboard and then there were two. Two little Injuns foolin' with a gun, One shot t'other and then there was one; One little Injun livin' all alone, He got married and then there were none." Cassandra and her team were taking a day off. They went 'sand surfing' at some desert like theme park. They relaxed as they had a good time. "Well, that was fun." said Cassandra, lying beside the sandy sea. "Yeah." said Echo. "Man, that was tough." admitted Jack. Cass smiles, nodding. "I know." She said. During her time, she and her team were nearly ambushed by a strange telekinetic force and almost died but they survived. Cass and the rest of Brother 10 wanted to know who would do that. In the meantime; Cassandra stresses herself into finding out who is hurting her friends and her! She research everything in Moneta but couldn't find a thing. She was already losing her train of thoughts. "Why did it have to be this? Who are you? Why do you hide in the darkness and listen to my private thoughts?" She thought. Cass will find the son of a bitch, even if it's the last thing she'll do!
Cassandra has a telepathic nightmare where she gets her lips sewn shut and watches as one of her friends is forced against his will to tore out the entrails of his friends. Cassandra broke free by breaking the sewing needle towards her mouth as she screamed, "Noooooooo!" The next minute, she was leaning back against a tree. Bleeding, bruised, and crying there for hours. "What's the matter? Had enough?" A voice taunted. Cassandra shake her head, "Leave me alone. Please." But she could hear the torturing laughter and covered her ears as she screamed in terror. Cassandra woke up as she decided to get her revenge against them! She wants to be the one doing the ass kicking, not the one taking it. Antrocles making up for his faults and inabilities by telling people he’s the best. He points at Cassandra, putting his finger to his chest to get his point across. Cassandra doesn’t care what the bully says. She has a weapon in case there’s a fight. She’s prepared. She’s about to beat this bully upside the head with her powers. Not only is she ready for a fight, Cassandra’s looking forward to it. She’s going to head to the playground to kick some ass! She’s planning on getting into a brawl, using her powers as weapons. How many fights do you think this girl got into? Cassandra was walking along the path however she managed to find them. There they were--standing there, waiting for her. Cassandra has a lot to say to them, "Now I'm going to tell you all that I have done for you.... I was crying immensely over you. I've been doing my best to try to get you two to listen — screaming and bleeding for you. Even after all that you still will not listen. I don't want your help this time, maybe never. You can scream and torment me all you wants but I'm going to rise out of the sea of pain you have caused me."
Just then, A TV image plays of the ten children. Cassandra couldn’t believe it, "No way!" She gasped. Next was their deaths. Cassandra was horrified by these images however Androcles and his comrades laughed. They was in hysterics of this. How dare they…Cassandra’s body tremble but felt a rough hand on her shoulder, "What's the matter, freak--?" Androcles said. Cassandra turned to him fiercely with her telekinesis. All four of them flew back into a tree. "Do you really know me? Don’t you remember what I had to go through because of you? You can taunt me and hate me but I don’t care because of what I got and I achieved!" shouted Cassandra, "This time I won’t let it get to me. I'm invincible, take your shot because I will block it and when you shoot me, I’ll have nothing to be lose. Keep going, anything negative will just be deflected! No matter what you say about me, it doesn’t make a difference, I'm too strong!" Androcles and the others were so frightened by this. But Androcles was insane with power to care what she says. His hair was a mess and was bleeding from his hands. He panted and heaved, "I will not stop until I kill you, Cassandra." yelled Androcles. Cassandra ran and ran, until her lungs were about to burst however she found herself at a cliff. Androcles laughed more malicious, "End of the line, you damn ass." He exclaimed. Cassandra glared at Androcles, who lunged at her. "DIE!!!" He cried. "No!" She exclaimed. She stopped herself when she realized something: "No, I'm not making the same mistake as I did before!" thought Cassandra. "This is the end for you." said Cassandra. "Oh really? You weren't so sure of yourself? Well, it won't be peaceful for you for long." taunted Androcles. "You are nothing, you couldn't be strong enough to do take us down if you have to!" Cassandra trembled as she couldn't believe those words and she lost control of herself. Cassandra is now pounding those bastard tormentors with her powers. "The next bastard that picks on me again is gonna taste the power of my telekinesis and swallow some teeth." But then, she can hear something demonic in their heads. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was scary, very frightening.
These four has fallen into sin and their calling for someone to help them, the sin is causing them a great deal of pain but no one is there. She can their pain and suffering of the possessed demon of a werehyena caused by the anger they felt, but she knows it will only get worse, not better. She’s afraid and knows that all the things going on will cause them pain, but only she can save them herself. "Demons? Werehyenas?" whispered Cassandra. "What?" demanded Androcles. Cassandra begin to change the exorcism recites she was taught, "Demons who tempt us to sin. I see you are being tempted to fall back into sin — you tried to fight them off but the temptation is too great. Although she knows the consequences, she can’t resist and gives in." As she said this, Androcles and the others try to back away but Cassandra got closer as she continued, "Thee who has turned from Yehweh and falling back into sin. There is nowhere to hide — everywhere there is evil and you can’t escape it anywhere. You should never give up! There will always be evil and temptation and you should always be aware. Watch out for temptation and don't fall back into sin." Androcles screamed at her to stop, he begged and plead but Cassandra would not, "Their desperate cries for help. they are in an unwanted reality and cannot escape." The four were now in pain as Cassandra recites the last lines, "For so long, they have felt nothing but emptiness. Cause their blood to run throughout their bodies for us to need an active pulse to be alive! Yehweh, without you, they have no reason to live. You are the torch that warms our hearts and brings happiness into our lives. You are our tourniquet. I am washed in sacred blood, in the name of Yehweh, I command you to be delivered the innocent and cast you wild hyenas from once you came!" It was over as the four of them passed out into unconsciousness as they are in the dark.
Waking up; Androcles looked horrified, he backs away as Cassandra used her powers to choke him. He screamed in terror, "NOOOO, NOT ME!" He woke up, it was all a nightmare but he couldn’t stop screaming. Hijiro looked at his friend, taking both his shoulders, "Androcles?!" He asked. Androcles was still exclaiming, "NOT ME! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! PLEASE, HAVE MERCY!" "Androcles!" Hijiro said, shaking him and hugging him. "MERCY!" Androcles cried, "PLEASE!" Hijiro started crying, "It's OK, Androcles. I’m here.” He soothed. Antrocles begin to sob, the only thing that his friend could do was comfort him. “It’s OK, Androcles. It’s OK. I’m here. It’s OK.” Yvain was shocked too as he saw that his memories of what he and Androcles did to poor Cassandra. In the meantime, Yvain had the same dreams too as he tormented by what he done. Yvain was shaken with fear, "Di--di--di--Did I do that?" He demanded. He had a bad dream that Ophelia found out about what he did to Cass, "When are you going to tell me the real truth?" She asked. "What do you mean?" Yvain asked, confused. "All you did was lie to me! No more, I want to know, did you hurt Cassandra?" demanded Ophelia emotionally. Yvain look so guilty that he tried to explain, "Ophelia, I--" However Ophelia backs away, "No, I can't be friends with someone that hurts my friends....I--I--I trusted you!" She screeched.
Yvain meets Ophelia and tell her that he admits of hurting people, but Ophelia is confuse by this; not really believing him. Yvain is upset as he tells her that he can't see her anymore and walks away. Ophelia watched him, "What? Wait, Yvain!" She grasped his hand. Yvain tried to wriggled her away, but the girl wouldn't let go. "Ophelia, please let go of me!" He said. "Yvain, please! I know you don't want to but I can help you." begged Ophelia with innocent eyes looking at him. Yvain looked at her sadly, "You can't...." He said. He gingerly pry his fingers away and walks off. Ophelia is stunt, she felt tears in her eyes. "What did I do to you?" She cried. "Stop it, Ophelia." Yvain said, in a nervous tone. Ophelia runs after him, "No, no more hiding. What is the matter? I want to be your friend but you have to tell me." She exclaimed, still trying to understand him. Yvain turned around fiercely, "NO!" He cried. Ophelia was shocked as Yvain felt bad, "I'm sorry." He said and walked away. Ophelia watch him go, sensing something was wrong with him. In the present, Yvain lets go of Xian, who fell on his knees in shock. Xian couldn't believe he saw that, "You mean--You? I was--I was wrong about you." He stuttered. He felt so guilty about trying to kill him. Xian fell on his knees, sobbing manly tears.
Xian is afraid that he will be like everyone else and get caught up in this world and he has no control over his life. Xian has been thinking about all of his actions and it’s starting to kill him. Yvain bends down to the boy and said, "It's OK. Would you like to know why I save you?" Xian didn't look up but he nodded, so Yvain explained: "I saved you because you deserve to forgive yourself and not torture yourself. Be patient, don't put yourself down this way." Xian nodded and Yvain tells him something, "You can go down to dangerous but exciting places, let me show you how to lose control. Let’s go down the rabbit hole…you in or out?" Previously, Xian used to not be afraid but now that’s all he is. Xian needs to detach himself from others and become his own self. He nodded, "OK, I'll come with you.....White Rabbit." said Xian.
