Chapter 6: The Vixen's Awakening
One month later; Tamamo Mae is in her pretend coma where she has dreams about people she never met before: The first that come to mind is psychokinesis, telepathy, absorb powers through skin contact, accelerate healing, water, darkness, and blood that becomes into any shape because of a symbiotic substance in it. Then she saw dark memories that weren't her own: It was May 30th, Venusir Academy's end of the year prom raged of music and dancing. These people are there to celebrate the senior high school students' last day before they graduate. There were high school graduates: 20 year old Cassandra Endymion, who was having a blast with friends: Reuben, Judy, Danielle, Asher, Benjamin, Josephine, and Ephraim. This will be their last day with one another so they decide to make the most of the night with one another. But not everyone was having fun: There was a loner name Eulalie Merlin, a 19 year old young lady who has been 'invisible' as no one has seem to see her. 17 year old Ariadne Sirius didn't had a lot of friends, she was all alone and she hated it. Ariadne always wanted to be a musician. But nobody recognized her pretty singing voice. Without much encouragement or any reconciliation; Ariadne never had any dreams of being a talented artist. So some of them couldn't wait to get out of high school, to get as far away from here. There were some that were noticed in the wrong ways. In the meantime; there was also 18 year old Turan Cypris, who was considered an 'untouched prude' as she was always vestal that boys wondered if she was pure or floozy.
But this prom night was going to take a darker turn, a man in a tuxedo came up to the microphone and said, "All right! It's time to announce the winners of this year's Prom King and Queen." He had a small envelope in his hand and rips it up. "And the winners are....REUBEN MATTHEWS AND JUDY DAVIS!" Everyone broke into an applause, Reuben and Judy went to the stage to accept their crowns as Judy is given a bouquet of roses. Just then, unexpected visitors crashed the party with loaded guns and started a massacre. They shot at other people who fell to the floor. Panic filled everyone else, they try to flee but some were shot in the process. Cassandra watched in horror as her friends were being shot at. She noticed that Reuben was panting of the wound bleeding from there as he cries out, "Ohhh, the pain." Judy noticed Cassandra there and calls out, "Get away from here Cass!" "Save yourself Cass!" Asher called out, "Get away from here!" However they were all shot at as Cassandra screamed with terror. Turan was attacked and tortured by five men while Deirdre and Norna, who were hidden, watched in terror as they weep softly. Ariadne and Juana for the time being were hiding from one of the killers trying to find survivors to look for them and then killed them. Ariadne and Juana prayed quietly to not be found by this man--Whoever he was. Just then, there were police sirens in the air and the men heard them as they escaped from the prom. Cassandra takes a bubble bath. As her feet were at the foot of the tub, she rested her eyelids and slid underwater. This where she can daydream in this state. She had done it many times. This time, it was different. Today, she was swimming in the Caribbean sea and saw the animals hiding behind the rocks. She went under the sea as she sees fishes swim as they move their lips, 'Swim' and 'Talk to me.' With her feet in the air and her head on the ground; She begin to spin around however her head inside has collapsed and there's nothing. She begins to wonder, "Way in this water, I swim....Where my mind is? Where is it? Where is my mind? Where is my....Mind?" The word 'mind' begins to echo over and over again. Cassandra opened her eyes and emerged from the water of the bath, gasping for breath.
In the meantime; Eulalie had to deal with her defensive boss, who was doing things that made her uncomfortable like putting other co workers down but favorite others and treated them as if they were royalty. Meanwhile; Ariadne goes to meet her record producer name Hot Shot but while Ariadne was singing her song that she wrote. Hot Shot laughed at her and called her a 'Sarah Face with no place' for talent. He shows Ariadne an example of talent of music videos of sexy women dancing! Ariadne is flabbergasted and seems upset at the face that he just dissed her on her music masterpiece. Leaving the studio in such a fit, Ariadne was driving back to her flat as she curses: "Stupid producer, 'Sarah Face with no place' huh...He can't appreciate real musicians when the only thing he looks at his the dancing and those with no talent." But then in her fury, she discovers she has ice and water powers after she stopped the rain with her flaring hands and then turned the raindrops into ice. Ariadne got back into her car, muttering to herself: "Too weird." One day, Cassandra was going to another job interview and entered an elevator but on the elevator buttons, there was a rabbit on there. Curious, Cassandra pressed it as she then suddenly felt the elevator going faster and twisting around and around. "Am I going to crash?" She wondered, "No, it can't end like this! It can't!" Cassandra screamed in utter terror. Eulalie was so stressed at her job that she quit in a fit of rage however while walking back to her place; she wandered to a forest and she saw a glowing well. She peered in the well but then she lost her balance and fell into the well. Turan and Norna were walking down the stairs to find a meadow however the girls got lost and stumbled across an abandoned dungeon, they got locked in. They were trying to find a way out however it was impossible. Turan discovers a trap door and it opened up, revealing a secret staircase. The two of them went down the stairs. However Norna lost her footing and fell with Turan down into the abyss. For the time being, Ariadne was suffering from writer's block and she cannot seem to come up with any other music pieces lately. She decided to get some air when all of a sound of someone crying made her ears perked. Ariadne went downstairs as she hurried out to see who was weeping. She found a girl with untidy magenta hair, wearing a blue dress that reached her knees, black ballet shoes, and white leggings.
There she sat on a rock, her face buried as she hugged her knees. Ariadne reached over and touched the girl, asking: "Are you OK?" The girl looked up startled, glaring when she saw Ariadne. "What do you want?" demanded the girl. "I heard you crying, and I came to see if you were OK." explained Ariadne. The girl sniffed, "I'm OK. I'm just stress, that's all. Why do you care?" She snapped. "Don't be that way, are you sure you're all right?" said Ariadne. "Yeah, I--I am." said the girl, sobbing a little. "What's your name? Can you at least tell me that?" Ariadne inquired gently. "Melisande Zebedee." replied the girl. Melisande turned around and looked scared, "No..It's them." She whispered. "What?" asked Ariadne. "NOOOO, NOT ME!!! NOT ME!!!" cried Melisande. Then she ran away quickly, Ariadne ran after her! Melisande found a tree, she pulled out a chalk and made a circle over it. The circle became a portal and she hurried in. Ariadne follows her by jumping into the magic chalk portal. Later on, Cassandra woke up, lying the grassy fields and gets up from the ground. She begins to look around however she looks around but almost lost her footing. She looked down, horrified that this mass of earth is floating in the sky! "Am I in Heaven?" wondered Cassandra, she begins to walk around. "Well if this Heaven, then why don't I feel dead?" thought Cassandra. She looked around to see perfect blue skies, white puffy clouds, tall buildings, and trees. She was curious so much that she didn't watch where she was going, Cassandra slammed into someone! "Oh hey--" She started to say but she saw that it was a thick, burgundy haired boy who has light skin and leaned muscular figure built. He wore a crimson glory colored T shirt, sweat pants, and sneakers. "Hi." Cassandra said, surprised. "I'm sorry, I didn't know where I was going, I apologize!" Although the guy looked cool-headed, he smiled kindly. "It's fine." He answered.
Cassandra is touched by his smile, he sure was nice. Cute too. But she begins to hear his thoughts in her mind. "Are you OK?" asked the guy. "Uh, yeah." said Cassandra quickly. "What's your name?" asked the young man. "My name is Cassandra." answered Cassandra. "I'm Samson, Samson Diaz." said the young man. Cassandra nodded, "Yes...Do tell, Samson. Are you what they call a swordsman?" She asked. Samson looked at her with surprise, "How--How did you know?" He asked. Cassandra looked over at him and said with a smile, "I don't know. I guess my mind can read your mind." She replied. Samson looked at her with dazed amazement, "OK. Let's find out where we are." He finally said. Cassandra seemed intrigued, "'We'? As in us? Together?" She asked. "I like to get to know you, Samson. I really do." Samson smiled back and they both journeyed into the unknown. "Hold it!" They all stopped when they saw Cassandra and Samson. "What are you guys doing?" Cassandra asked. Justice looked at them, "Who are you guys?" He asked. "I'm Cassandra Endymion and this is my acquaintance, Samson Diaz." introduced Cassandra, gesturing towards Samson next to him. Proteus sneered at the two, "What a couple misfits doing here?" He remarked. Justice, Kamaitachi, and Echo turned to him as well as Christopher, Lleu, Hanuman and Zaden glared at Proteus: "MISFITS?!" The fight breaks out, Borvo stepped out of the way. He went towards Samson, who keeps him by himself like a fatherly type. Cassandra stared at everyone fighting and rolled her eyes up to the ceiling, then she flexed out her hand and yelled, "SHUT UP!!!" The others were lifted from the ground, Cassandra couldn't believe that she was the only doing this. Then she drops them down safely, she sighed and smiled. "Now, tell me....who's a misfit?" asked Cassandra with a witty look on her face. The others stared up in amazement, "Ohhhh...." They chorused.
One minute later; Samson, Justice, Echo, Proteus, Kamaitachi, Christopher, Lleu, Hanuman and Zaden were standing up like soldiers. Cassandra paced left and right from them. "Listen up!" She said to them. "We come from different places of our homes, and brought here for an unknown reason. So, If we're going to find some answers, we need to ventured to the unknown and find this person responsible for this; we must put our colors--our personalities aside--and become one....Any questions?" Borvo raised his hand, "Ma'm, I have one." He said. Cassandra turned to him, "Yes Borvo?" She asked. Borvo then talked normally, "Um...Exactly where do we start?" Cassandra nodded, thinking about that. "Ah, that's a very good question my friend." She turned to the horizon of the city, pointing over to a building. "You see that building over there? This building stands out than the rest of them, it has stained glass windows. I'm curious to know what's in there." Mictlan was hell, it had always been to hell. "What is this place? Oh god...!" gasped Cassandra. Brother 10 observes this as they couldn't believe this was Mictlan, it was a nightmare. Destruction, like the apocalypse. What kind of world was this? Turan was panicking and freaking out as she begins to lose her mind a little by the shock she was seeing of this place. Cassandra and the others were shocked to see a monster confronting her. Then Cassandra could hear its thoughts. "You--you want to eat me? No, I won’t let you!" said Cassandra to the monster. She flexed her hand and uses her telekinesis to kill this monster. The monster convulsed, it twisted, and then finally; it exploded! There was a mass of beige substances splattered all over her! Cassandra was stunt for a while before a grin broke over her face. She giggled to herself, "I did it! Ew....I really did it! I can't believe it! I just nobody saw--" She turns around as her smile faded. "--That."
What she saw was a 15 year old boy. Chocolate brown hair. Red eyes. Light skin. Buttoned shirt, a cap on his head, it looks like. He was a teenage soldier, who looked horrified at Cassandra. He saw it, he saw her kill that beast. "Oh crap." Cassandra thought. "Busted! How do I get myself out of this?" She slowly smiled kindly, "Hello there---" she greeted but the boy lunged at her, "AAAAHHHH!" He cried. The boy begin to claw at her like a wild man. Trying to punch her but Cassandra restrained the boy. "Hey! Hey!" She protested, the boy did not yield. "Stop! Cease! Take it easy! Will you stop?! I am not going to hurt you!" Cassandra held the boy's fists away from her. "Who are you?!" The boy demanded. "My name is Cassandra. I swear, I will not hurt you. Here, I am not going to hurt--" She reaches over to touch his face but the boy recoiled away. "Get away, no! Don't you dare--Don't--" But he was helpless, Cassandra was calm as she stroke her hand on his face. At once, Cassandra could read his mind, know his name. But not completely of a lot. "Did you seriously kill that Revenant?" asked the boy, softly. Cassandra did a double take. "That's a Revenant?" She asked in disbelief. The boy looked at her with amazement, "You never seen one before?" he asked. "I heard of them..but in all honesty, I didn't know that was an actual Revenant!" Cassandra pointed out. Just then, a voice called out. "Jack! Who are you talking to?" Another boy in the same uniform as the other guy's was standing there. He looked young, quite a fetching fellow. "Nobody!" Jack called, he turned back to Cassandra fiercely. "Listen, you gotta get out of here now!" He demanded. "Why? I can help!" Cassandra persisted. "No, you--" Jack started to say but the boy calls back: "Jack, who is that?" "No one!" Jack snapped. He turned to Cassandra with pleading eyes. "Please, get out now!" He begged. "I can help. I can hear that your thoughts are disoriented so--" Cassandra insisted, but Jack stopped her out of shock. "What?" He gasped. "You--you--can read minds? You can hear my thoughts inside of your own head?" "Of course I can." Cassandra said, in a matter of fact tone. Jack was shaken out of fear. The red haired boy appeared, "Jack? Who is this?" He asked. Cassandra smiled and held out her hand, "Cassandra Endymion. It's a pleasure to meet you." she said. The boy was stunt, he shook her hand though. "I'm Bellerophon Leseratte." He said. A girl with shoulder length hair appeared, wearing the same uniform as Jack and Bellerphon. "Boys, who is this girl?" She asked in a voice so soft but full of curiosity. "Wow, this your girlfriend?" Cassandra asked, to Jack. Jack glared at her, "She's not my girlfriend!" He declared. "Who are you? A witch?" The girl asked. "I am no witch, I am an ally and I came to help." Cassandra said. "No, she's--" Jack started to say, but the girl stopped him. "Hold up, Jack. This girl may able to help." She said, coming to Cassandra's rescue.
"Sh'yeah, I killed a Revenant." Cassandra admitted. Bellerphon and the girl were shocked. "How?!" They asked. "I have an ability where I can move obstacles or other things with my mental conscious." Cassandra explained. Bellerphon and the girl looked at each other, they turned to Jack. "You know about this?" Bellerphon asked. "Yeah, but she doesn't know what the military does here." Jack said. "Let her help, Jack. She can be of help to us." The girl said. Jack was irked but he agreed. Cassandra smiled with delight, "Thank you." She said. The girl turned to her, she stretched out her hand. Although her stern face remained unchanged; she sounded nicer. "I'm Minerva Toter." "I'm Cassandra--" Cassandra said but other Revenants attacked and Cassandra, Jack, Minerva, and Bellerphon prepared for battle. They ran from them while battling. “Who are you? Why the hell did you come here?” screeched Jack. "Be careful, Jack Morder. Don't do anything reckless!" Cassandra called out. "How did you know my name?" Jack asked with shock. Busted! Cassandra turned away, "Later!" She shouted. The Revenants were chasing after them. Cassandra thought craftily as she reached over to Jack, carried him into her arms and flied! Jack was amazed by this, "What? You can fly?" He asked. Minerva and Bellerphon watched in amazement but they followed the gliding Cassandra. "YOU! CAN! FLY!" Jack shouted, Cassandra smiled at him. Minerva, and Bellerphon were amazed as well: "Oh my..." Bellerphon breathed. The two followed Cassandra and Jack to wherever they are going. "Jack...I don't want to hurt you, I just want to understand you. To feel better, to feel like I'm not the only one." Cassandra thought, talking to him in his thoughts. Suddenly, she felt a burst of pain through her. "What's happening? I feel--Augh! It hurts!" She said, gasping. Jack regained consciousness, he was shocked to see what was happening. "Oh no!" He thought. Cassandra begin to change into a Revenant, she was unaware of what is going on but for the first time, she wanted to fight. She saw other Revenants and she went after them fiercely. She lunged at them as she rescues lives like the other soldiers and kills them. As soon as she is done; the soldiers stared at her in fear. Revenant Cassandra approached them and placed her claw-hand on Lieutenant Reiten. A few moments later; she was in astonishment. “Cassandra…Endymion? Is that you?” asked Margaret. Cassandra transformed back to normal. She gasps as she fell unconscious to the ground. "Did Cassandra just--?" asked George. "How did she do that?" Margaret inquired. Adam glanced at her body, his face was calm and relax but he looked concern at this mysterious girl. "Cassandra Endymion, what are you?" He thought. There was music, mingling, and food there. She was sitting with Jack and Trygve, "Wow. What a crowd this is." remarked Cassandra. "Yes, it is." Jack agreed. Just then, someone appeared at the microphone, it was Mimir. "May I have your attention please?" He said. Everyone stopped what they were doing as they looked at him. Samson cleared his throat before continuing, "I have two special awards for our great warriors. And these go to--Cassandra Endymion, Jack Mordor and Trygve Fragarach."
Cassandra couldn't believe this, she looked at Jack and Trygve which they were grinning too as they stood up and went to the stage while others were applauding. Cassandra, Jack and Trygve were honored of their awards, they exchanged glances with grins. Then, they bowed before the crowd. The applause faded but some were still clapping. Everyone turned to see who but they frowned or glared at that person. Jack and Trygve looked at Ector and his other friends angrily. "Oh, look at this! Ain't it touching?" mocked Ector, pretending to cry but was smirking. "I love celebrations, I really do." Cassandra’s eyes bulged in horror. "Our great heroes are honored at long last but you won't be honored when I play...This!" A large TV image plays of someone entering a movie cinema. Cassandra couldn’t believe it, "It can't be!" She gasped. Next was gunshots, people screaming. It shows images of Cassandra’s friends and other people being shot at. "Oh my..." Mimir gasped. "Oh no...!" Trygve cursed. Everyone was horrified by these images however Ector and his friends laughed. They was in hysterics of this. They thought this was all so funny? How dare they…Cassandra’s body tremble but felt a rough hand on her back, "Bitch, are you gonna cry--" Ector said. Cassandra turned to him fiercely with her telekinesis. Ector flew back into a column. "Ohhh!" The crowd gasped. "Uh oh." Lleu said softly. "Cass." Samson muttered. Jack was furious at Ector, he ran over at him and cried, "You will pay for that!!!!!!" "Jack!" Bellerphon cried. Too late, Ector pulled out a gun and fired at Jack. Jack fell to the ground, "Nooooo! Jack..." Cassandra screamed. She rushed over to him. Cassandra felt hot tears running down her face, she turned to Ector. Her veins pulsed with anger. A turning point where her powers are activating. She looked up and spread out her arms, where her powers bend the lights from above. Everyone looked up in horror. "Oh crap..." Hanuman thought. Proteus forced the doors opened and shouted, "Everyone out NOW!!!!" Immediately; the crowd rushes out. Borvo and Juniper look back, they were concerned about their friend. "Cass!" They both cried, Zaden seized them both and said, "Come on, let's go!" Borvo and Juniper tried to struggle but Zaden pulled them away. In the abandoned party, Cassandra and Ector were the only ones in there, Ector tried to attack her but Cassandra flexed her hand, telekinetically choking him by the throat. She threw him backwards and he landed there. Cassandra uses her powers to cause a fire. The others peeked inside, what they saw was hell. The whole place was scorched of fire. But the doors closed automatically. She wanted to kill him however she realized something, this wasn't sure about this and lets him live. Later, Cassandra stalks away from the now destroyed party in anguish over what happened. She found Trygve, who looked concern for her. How dare Ector did that to her, how cruel he was. Well, he won’t come around here anymore. Just then, someone followed her and came up to her, putting a hand on her. Cassandra whirled around, gasping. "Cass, it's me!" Jack said with a small smile. Cassandra let out a sigh and embraced him. "Jack, you're all right." She said. Cassandra buried her face, there was heaving of sobs. Jack hugged her back, "I'm sorry that happened." He said, patting her back tenderly.
Cassandra sniffed. "Oh, Jack! It was awful. He was so mean to me..." She blubbered. Jack could only pat her back, soothing her: "It's OK, Cass. It's OK.." But he looked up and his eyes widened with terror. "LOOK OUT, CASS!" He cried. Too late, she is being held hostage by Ector's. Ector looked over and gouged her heart out. "Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!" cried Jack and Trygve. Ector and his friends were cackling with glee but they wouldn't laugh for long. Cassandra rise, her eyes were hollow and black with red pupils. She had blood coming from the whole in her chest. Her appearance was different: There were short ram horns, her hair became red like mahogany, her clothes matched her hair and her face was pinkish white. Jack couldn't believe this, Cassandra. She was rising as some sort of undead being who was slaughtering the Ector's friends in order to get her heart back. And she did kill them all, she butchered them. She beheaded them, and then she made their limbs go numb so she can split them apart in a grisly way. Jack and Trygve were shocked by this. They couldn't believe that someone like her would such things. Finally, Cassandra faced Ector Absalom, who was holding her heart so Heart less Cassandra put up a pretty good fight. She broke his legs and the heart went up, Cassandra caught in her hand and placed it back in her chest. The hole in her chest closed up and she turned back to normal. Jack and Trygve could only stare at her in amazement. Who was this girl? Whoever she was, she was nothing out of the ordinary. A deranged Ector who was smiling like a Cheshire as he held a knife. 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 Ector. Jack grabbed Cassandra, helping her up and shouted, "Run, you guys!"
They ran, however Ector chased after them. He was still clutching the knife as he waved it. Laughing maniacally. Cassandra, Jack, and Trygve did not stopped. But they did, they found themselves at a cliff. Ector laughed more malicious, "End of the line, you damn ass." He exclaimed. Cassandra held her friends close, she glared at Ector, who lunged at them. "DIE!!!" He cried. "No!" She exclaimed. Cassandra telekinetically seized him by the throat and pulls him toward her but she did it too far. Cassandra, Jack, and Trygve watched as Ector fell down to his death. Cassandra couldn’t believe what she had done. "I killed him...I....AAAHHH!" She screamed hysterically, waving her hands frantically. Jack took her hands and speaking to her, "Cass, Cass." When Cassandra didn’t answered; Jack slapped her. Cassandra stopped screaming, she slowly placed a hand on her cheek where she had been slapped. Cassandra looked at him, "Jack..." She whispered. Jack sighed, "Sorry. Are you OK?" He asked. Cassandra feebly shake her head. "I don't know, I can't live like…" She admitted. She went to the ledge and spread her arms out. She was about to take a step until Trygve reached for her. "Cass, nooo!" He cried. Jack and Trygve seized her, Cassandra struggled against them as she tried to push him away. "Let go of me! Let go! Lemme--" She ranted. "Don't even try, I am not letting go no matter what you say." Jack said. After many struggles; Cassandra gives up and embraces her friends. "Oh, you guys." She sobbed and begin crying until she fell asleep. Jack carried her, she felt light weighted in his arms.
Meanwhile; Eulalie was overwhelmed by the swarm of Wendigos and managed to fight them off with her dark powers. She lost her balance as she struggles. Thinking of her fear towards guns; Eulalie thought: "How can I face my fears when I struggle to fight? How far can I go before reaching my limit?" A Wendigo is about to pounce her until someone hold it back. Eulalie looked to see who it was--It was a figure in a jumpsuit made from spandex and a trenchcoat. He wore a hooded cloak along with spandex gloves! But Eulalie could see his face--He was a pretty face, absolutely gorgeous. "What a cutie." Eulalie thought, but shakes her head. "Stop Lala, focus! Concentrate." She told herself inside her mind. To this strange, beautiful disaster of her rescuer she said, "No way. Who the hell are you?" The spandex, trenchcoat clad hero turn to her and said, "The guy that saved your life." "Um, thank you." Eulaie replied, it sounded confused like a question. She seemed interested in this guy, "So...One superhero to another, who are you?" She inquired. "Vincent. Just Vincent." said the guy. "Vincent..." Eulalie said, that name gave her chills, "Wait! Do you have a secret identity?" She asked. "Don't have one." said Vincent. "Oh crap! Why am I getting all shivering about?" She thought. "By any chance, are you aware of the circumstances?" Vincent asked. "You got some sponser?" Eulalie was perplexed, "Um, what now?" She inquired. Later, she was alone after the disbelief of finding out that she was on TV live of Champion Channel! Vincent told her the same thing that Firestarter had told Libertas/Cassandra. It was beyond her belief. "UGH! Ophelia, I am going to rio you apart, you maniac pixie dream girl with a mad crazy, fanatist complex! You totally went out of your head! I'm getting her for this. One day!" Eulalie said to herself. However she was faced with the Wendigos and fought them with help from her dark powers. She smiled at her victory, "Yes! I feel good--almost as I did before!" Eulalie said to herself. Just then, she heard from someone behind her. She turned and saw Vincent applauding, "Huh? Have you been there the whole time?" asked Eulalie. "Well, well. You're not so weak after all." said Vincent. Eulalie shrugged, "Just suffered a set back for a moment." She replied. "Hm. Tell me, who are you Hecate?" Vincent inquired. "Me? I'm just a naive young girl who fell from the eye of the storm, walking down the yellow brick road in order to face the Wicked Witch of the West and the flying monkeys." "Ah, Wizard of Oz huh? You look like someone trying to find her white rabbit but ends up facing the Queen's deck of cards." Vincent remarked. "OK, I don't need a pretty faced, no secret idenity man's help." said Eulalie. She went away but she was surprised attack until Vincent came to the rescue. Eulalie almost fell but Vincent swooped down and carried her in his arms like a groom carrying his bride. Eulalie looked up at him as Vincent smiled at her dazzlingly, "So, does the girl still doesn't need help from the 'pretty faced, no secret idendity man'?" He flirted. Eulalie rolled her eyes and muttered, "Oh brother!" but she moaned out loud, "OK, fine! Yes, please." Later while working; Eulalie was attacked by Wendigos and couldn't use her powers however she wouldn't not have to wait for long. The Wendigos were distracted by a sound as they went away and Eulalie went to hide. However; she heard footsteps but she was so scared as she try to stiff up. Then heard something else that was familiar to her. "Let's see what's behind curtain number three?" Vincent said, pulling back the curtain. Eulalie stumbles over, "Ack! Oh, hi there...Vi--vi--Vincent, um lovely day we're having huh?" She stuttered. Vincent looked over at her, "Looks like you're holding up pretty well." He said.
Eulalie looked up at him, "Yeah, and so are you." She said. "Yes." Vincent said with a nod. Realizing what she said; Eulalie was flushng red. "Oh, wait a minute! That cam out wrong, heh." She said. "You could use a break, maybe go out with me?" Vincent said. Eulalie looked at him in disbelief, "Now? Tonight? Oh no, I couldn't! I mean, I wish I could but I--" She try to explain however Vincent leaned over and kissed her cheek. Eulalie is shocked but she says, "OK, Done deal." Later on in this so-called date; Eulalie was laughing as Vincent was chuckling. "You're kidding, a scandal?" Eulalie asked. "Just a dirty rumor." assured Vincent. "Dude, you rock my socks!" Eulalie complimented. She had to sit for a smile for a moment, Vincent sat next to her. "So, what about you, do you have any qualms?" He asked, he was trying to seduce her and Eulalie was feeling nervous. "Qualms? No I um--" She try to say. "How about hobbies?" Vincent continued. Eulalie was lost for words for a moment, "Um, uh hobbies? No..." She replied. "No pet peeves? No favorites?" Vincent said. Eulalie swallowed, "Ulp!" then she responds with, "I like--poetry...spring! An--an--and..." Then she managed to blurt out, "And life!" She managed to stand up and hurry away from him. Disappointed; Vincent looked at her, "You are interesting, Eulalie." He remarked. Eulalie smiled back at him, "Thanks." She was about to skip away however she stumbled and fell on a bush, "Oh--! Ack!" Vincent look at her with surprise, "You OK?" Eulalie was sitting in a flower bush, "No." She said. Vincent was trying to laugh however he admits, "You look better that way." Eulalie glared at him, "Very funny." She snapped. "No, the flowers make you look prettier." Vincent said. Eulalie blushed, smiling a little and the two of them laugh. However Vincent got a communication; "Sorry to break this off sweetheart but I--" he said but he noticed that Eulalie was gone and he went away. "He's pretty interesting, I mean sure Vince is but you can't help but be nice to a guy who is tall yet dark and handsome. But he may have eerie skin color to him like he's a freak then it makes it better." Eulalie remarked. Vincent looked at Hecate, "What? You like this guy better?" He snapped. Eulalie decided to irritate him, "Sure do, I bet he has something more to him. Maybe a dark past like you do...Like parents all a dead, or maybe he has been through kamikaze...You know, take your own life. I heard that's a sin and you might end up in hell." She said. Hearing what Hecate said, Vincent glared at her and walked over but Eulalie walked back from him. "Whoa now, you're not going to torture me now are you? Slap me, grope me, hurt me? You try anything and my friends will find you! If you were a flower, you'd be a bee orchis which means 'error, industry'. Hell, I've done my homework! Heaven has no rage like a wrathful girl nor hell a fury like a harpy torned! I can be an angel, or a devil if you pissed me off! I can be your dream or I can be your nightmare!" She ranted. However Vincent looked at her in the eyes, a slight smirk on his face. Then she went over and pounced her but not hurt her. He place his hands around her waist. "Ohh--!" gasped Eulalie. Then she was against the wall as she was so closed to Vincent in this embrace, "Shit, shit! I'm this close to him! I'm blushing, right?" thought Eulalie. She gritted her teeth in humiliation: "Get...away...from...me...." Closing her eyes; Eulalie expected something vulgar yet violent however Vincent didn't do that. His warm lips were against her forehead. Eulalie's eyes snapped open as she couldn't believe it, "What?" She thought. Then she looked at Vincent, who was stepping away from her. "Why did you do that for?" asked Eulalie. "You said you were Dorothy so I decided to be The Good Wizard and give you my magical protection through a kiss." Vincent replied. Eulalie had never said she was Dorothy and that made her irritate, "You always talk in fantasy, down the rabbit hole literature?" She demanded. "Only to the strange girls." responded Vincent with a flirtatious smile. Anger filled her chest, she was mad and Eulalie pointed a finger as she said, "I'll get you for this, Vincent Muninn! One day I will!" And then, she walked away--passing a perplexed Cassandra and Firestarter.
Eulalie looked up at him, "Yeah, and so are you." She said. "Yes." Vincent said with a nod. Realizing what she said; Eulalie was flushng red. "Oh, wait a minute! That cam out wrong, heh." She said. "You could use a break, maybe go out with me?" Vincent said. Eulalie looked at him in disbelief, "Now? Tonight? Oh no, I couldn't! I mean, I wish I could but I--" She try to explain however Vincent leaned over and kissed her cheek. Eulalie is shocked but she says, "OK, Done deal." Later on in this so-called date; Eulalie was laughing as Vincent was chuckling. "You're kidding, a scandal?" Eulalie asked. "Just a dirty rumor." assured Vincent. "Dude, you rock my socks!" Eulalie complimented. She had to sit for a smile for a moment, Vincent sat next to her. "So, what about you, do you have any qualms?" He asked, he was trying to seduce her and Eulalie was feeling nervous. "Qualms? No I um--" She try to say. "How about hobbies?" Vincent continued. Eulalie was lost for words for a moment, "Um, uh hobbies? No..." She replied. "No pet peeves? No favorites?" Vincent said. Eulalie swallowed, "Ulp!" then she responds with, "I like--poetry...spring! An--an--and..." Then she managed to blurt out, "And life!" She managed to stand up and hurry away from him. Disappointed; Vincent looked at her, "You are interesting, Eulalie." He remarked. Eulalie smiled back at him, "Thanks." She was about to skip away however she stumbled and fell on a bush, "Oh--! Ack!" Vincent look at her with surprise, "You OK?" Eulalie was sitting in a flower bush, "No." She said. Vincent was trying to laugh however he admits, "You look better that way." Eulalie glared at him, "Very funny." She snapped. "No, the flowers make you look prettier." Vincent said. Eulalie blushed, smiling a little and the two of them laugh. However Vincent got a communication; "Sorry to break this off sweetheart but I--" he said but he noticed that Eulalie was gone and he went away. "He's pretty interesting, I mean sure Vince is but you can't help but be nice to a guy who is tall yet dark and handsome. But he may have eerie skin color to him like he's a freak then it makes it better." Eulalie remarked. Vincent looked at Hecate, "What? You like this guy better?" He snapped. Eulalie decided to irritate him, "Sure do, I bet he has something more to him. Maybe a dark past like you do...Like parents all a dead, or maybe he has been through kamikaze...You know, take your own life. I heard that's a sin and you might end up in hell." She said. Hearing what Hecate said, Vincent glared at her and walked over but Eulalie walked back from him. "Whoa now, you're not going to torture me now are you? Slap me, grope me, hurt me? You try anything and my friends will find you! If you were a flower, you'd be a bee orchis which means 'error, industry'. Hell, I've done my homework! Heaven has no rage like a wrathful girl nor hell a fury like a harpy torned! I can be an angel, or a devil if you pissed me off! I can be your dream or I can be your nightmare!" She ranted. However Vincent looked at her in the eyes, a slight smirk on his face. Then she went over and pounced her but not hurt her. He place his hands around her waist. "Ohh--!" gasped Eulalie. Then she was against the wall as she was so closed to Vincent in this embrace, "Shit, shit! I'm this close to him! I'm blushing, right?" thought Eulalie. She gritted her teeth in humiliation: "Get...away...from...me...." Closing her eyes; Eulalie expected something vulgar yet violent however Vincent didn't do that. His warm lips were against her forehead. Eulalie's eyes snapped open as she couldn't believe it, "What?" She thought. Then she looked at Vincent, who was stepping away from her. "Why did you do that for?" asked Eulalie. "You said you were Dorothy so I decided to be The Good Wizard and give you my magical protection through a kiss." Vincent replied. Eulalie had never said she was Dorothy and that made her irritate, "You always talk in fantasy, down the rabbit hole literature?" She demanded. "Only to the strange girls." responded Vincent with a flirtatious smile. Anger filled her chest, she was mad and Eulalie pointed a finger as she said, "I'll get you for this, Vincent Muninn! One day I will!" And then, she walked away--passing a perplexed Cassandra and Firestarter.
Later on; Eulalie was at an internet cafe with the Moneta as she researches on Vincent: He was born from an intellectual yet wealthy and kind family but they were tragically killed by a monster name Tantalus McGuffin. McGuffin messed with Vincent emotionally and mentally as he contemplated into taking his own life because he couldn't take it anymore with this pain. Thankfully, Vincent was snapped back into reality of Goram's friendship, his concern helped his partner out. Eulalie is shocked of what she discovered and decides to investigate at his place. There she is attacked by a bunch of Wendigos and knocked out. The Wendigos were about to prey upon her when they all are knocked out at once. The person responsible was Vincent! "Silly girl, do you think you could fool me that easily?" Vincent snapped. After a while; Vincent sipped red wine as he listened to softened opera singing in the background; he glance over at Eulalie, who was still unconscious, on the sofa and Vincent placed his glass down to examine her. "Cynical girls done their homework, do they...Eulalie?" Vincent said, "Black rose...dark angel...You sneaky girl. What are you really? Orphan? Runaway? A pure maiden? A rich girl in poverty? Maybe you're like me, you were shocked over the death of your parents and a monster tormented you until you couldn't take it anymore and wanted to pull the trigger on yourself." He start to trace her lips with his index finger gently, "I know you're no sponsor nor a superheroine or even born from Valhalla or just moved here. I said this before...and I'll say it again...Whatever you're hiding, I'm going to find out soon enough." Vincent continued. He was grazing her cheek with his knuckles. Then he noticed the bite mark of the Wendigo on her neck, "What is that?" He thought. Vincent glanced at her, "Well, well, well....What a tangled web you weaved. How much lies do you have for me, Hecate?" He said, "You certainly bloom haven't you my black rose?"
Tamamo Mae woke up from the dream and was surprised to see Kincho beside her.
"What are you doing here?" demanded Tamamo Mae. "Coming to help again." Kincho said. Tamamo Mae sat up and looked at him directly, "Those dreams, these powers...You got them from these people....Cassandra, Turan, Eulalie, and Ariadne. They're from Silver Branch aren't they?" She asked. Kincho was quiet for a moment, then he finally admits the truth: "Yes, they are." Tamamo Mae pound her fist down hard and got up from the medical cot, "Oh my God, I can't believe it!" She exclaimed. But Tamamo Mae almost fell from so much energy however Kincho caught her and said, "But I gave half to you and the other half to Usodori. You have Cassandra's powers and Eulalie's abilities while Usodori has Turan's powers as well as Ariadne's gifts. Tamamo Mae nodded feebly, then she looked around the room. She felt like someone was missing, "Where's Hangaku?" She asked. "She doesn't want to be part of this anymore, not since what you did." Kincho said. Hurt; Tamamo Mae turned away angrily. "Fine, I don't give a shit about her anyway!" She claimed. Kincho looked at her, there was the bruise from the gunshot that Kintaro left in Tamamo Mae's back and it was still there. Despite recovering from it; Tamamo Mae was healed from it but still had the bruise as a reminder. But she didn't care for marks on her body, like the marks on her back--The keloid scar--it was the ones that nobody can see. Meanwhile; Tamamo Mae was doing errands and looked occupied. Just then, someone recognized her. "Tamamo Mae?" A woman's voice called out. Tamamo Mae froze in fear and turned around to see a middle aged couple, she tried to walk away but the couple catched up to her. "Tamamo Mae, wait!" The woman said, sounding as if she was pleading. Tamamo Mae glared at the woman, "What do you want, Higo?" She demanded. "Otoyo and I want to talk to you." The woman said. "About?" Tamamo Mae inquired impatiently. The middle aged man, Otoyo, spoke up: "We want to apologize for what we did...Our daughter." He started to say, Tamamo Mae was afraid to hear the rest. "You shut up about her." She warned fiercely. She wanted to leave again however Higo called out again, "TM--!" Tamamo Mae turned back to Higo, "I killed Akihiko and Yukina because that bitch killed your daughter and their son! They were supposed to be together.....AND YOU DESTROYED THEM!!!!" She yelled. Higo ddn't want her to go, "Wait, Tamamo Mae. Don't go!" She tried to touch Tamamo Mae's shoulder, but the vixen pushed Higo and Otoyo away, "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She shouted. Tamamo Mae ran away as she was haunted by the memories of a dark blue haired boy and a pink hair girl.
Both of them begging for mercy, the next minute they are lying dead in a poolof their own blood. "Never again...never again....NEVER AGAIN!!!!!" Tamamo Mae thought to herself.
