Chapter 2: Beneath the Shadows 

A quiet land where snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, the window has a frame of black ebony wood, and a needle pricked a finger where three drops of blood fell into the snow. "Lips red as blood, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow...Fairest of them all as her heart still beats but with a taste of a typhoid fruit, she sleeps and wakes up...." Someone whispers. "Aynia?" A voice said. Aynia snapped back from her reverie as she turned to see her friend, "Hi Gavin." She greeted. Gavin smiled but then he looked at her with concern, "You look troubled, are you OK?" He asked. Aynia nodded, "I'm fine." She claimed. "You don't look too great." Gavin said. "Really, I'm just tired." insisted Aynia. "Aynia!" snapped Gavin, "Don't you lie to me! I want the truth now!" Aynia's dream echoes in her mind, haunting her: After working on it for hours and hours, Aynia was exhausted, her mother came in all upset. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" demanded Beira. "Late. I know, but I need a little more practice." Aynia said. "You need to sleep this off." said Beira. "Beira, please leave me alone." Aynia said. "Be quiet, Aynia." Beira said with gritted teeth. "I can't sleep, OK? Can I just be left alone?" Aynia snapped. "Shut your mouth!" shouted Beira, slapping her. "It's because of those peope! I'm only trying to protect you from those people! I raised you, I  raised you to think for yourself."  She scolded. Aynia glares at her, she was going to go and brush her teeth when Beira stopped her. "Honey, wait. I just...I don't want you to go to bed. Mother has been feeling like crap." She explained. "Beira, stop! I don't want you to smother me so much that you're giving me a lot of issues! You're not my mother." Aynia explained. In reality, Aynia plopped on her knees as she begn to sob, "Beira has been doing crazy things around here....She's causing madness and I feel like I can't stop her from all the bad things she's doing to everyone here in the world of supernatural humans, elvens, and fairies. If she keeps this up, all hope will be lost but no one has a clue. They all think she's a saint but she really is a monster! A monster..." Aynia explained, her voice broken through her tears. Gavin embraced her, "Don't worry. Just don't cry. Please, Aynia, don't cry." He soothed her. "Hello, anyone there?" Someone called out. Aynia didn't look up, the tears in her eyes clouded her vision. "Your friend all right?" Another voice asked. "She just--Hit her ankle near a ditch and almost fell. It shocked her so much that she begin crying." Gavin lied. Aynia felt like someone's shadows upon her. She looked up to see who it was. "Are you OK?" The young man asked, he sounded concern. Aynia sniffed and then replied in a calmer tone, "Yeah...I'm fine, my name's Aynia Sumarr." She said. The young man nodded, "All right, I'm Percy Callis." He said. The girl nervously introduced herself to the other guy, "My name is Sheila NaGeira." She said, outstretching her hand to Gavin, who then took it and replied with politeness, "Pleasure, I'm Gavin Robin." They became friends on that day.

In the meantime; Aynia and Clidna were doing a presentation about Beira where witnesses with them are Vivian Boyne, Flidais Prospero, and Arianrhod Meadwort. Aynia begins the presentation: "Beira was a cranky woman who had aging lines, plump, and pretended to be a kind person when she wasn't for real. She also had an attitude, very rude to Clidna and to everyone else, including her husband. Beira only favorited her annoying, violent, and word repeative son name Donn. Clidna's step-aunts, Maeve and Ernmas, were Beira's sisters. And Maeve and her husband, Ailill, were a nice couple. Eccentric, odd with a dry sense of humor but nice. Ernamas was always moody, it was hard to tell if she was in a good mood or not. Eramas was also extremely religious as she tries to convince Clidna about how going to the temple is the way to communicate to the High King Above. But Clidna was told once by her mother that the High King from Above will always love her, and Clidna could live the life under His power and live a good life as well as praying to him. Clidna remembered hearing that the High King was merciful, powerful, and kind as he treats everyone like his own children. In her lifetime; Clidna was always dealing with the problems of her stepmother and her step-aunt, Ernmas, and her stepbrother Donn." She stopped as she turned the page and continued, "Clidna found solace in flowery gardens and her only friends were the fairies. But there was one person who made her feel right....Shovon, her childhood best friend as they were very close to one another. That's when, they entered their friendship blossomed into romance. The two of them fell in love but Beira disapprove of them being together and she, Ernmas, and Maeve try to break the couple up so many times. No matter how much they try, they always failed. That's when Beira came up with a plot to kill Shovon. That night, while in the garden, Clidna and Shovon lied together and fell asleep. Early in the morning; Clidna woke up to find Shovon was gone. Clidna followed the trail and stopped to make a terrifying discovery: Shovon's body was found all masses of blood over him, lifeless he was. Clidna screamed, tears streamed down her face and picked up his body; craddling it before going into the Village of Corbenic. She shouted out, 'HELP!!!! HELP!!!! HELP!!! SOMEONE HAS BEEN MURDERED!!!!' The crowd responded back, "There she is! The witch that put a spell on this boy!" They grabbed Clidna, who dropped the body of her lover, as she was whipped many times, tied her arms to her sides as they spin her and threw fruits, vegetables, and raw meat at her while laughing at her misery. It was so excruciating for Clidna, she could not cover her ears because her hands were tied up. The laughter, it was so loud and it was a lot of guffawing. 'Make it stop, make it all stop!' Clidna thought." Then, she turned to the page and talked more, "Her stepmother and her sisters had plotted this. They were the ones responsible for the death of your lover. They also caused your excruciating torture. And also, as we speak, she and her sisters--including Ailill and Donn--had took everything from your father. Every single penny from him and left him poor. And abandoned him."

The audience listened as they processed much information, the audience were parents with children as they need to know some other things, besides on what they've been through. Once then, they will discover the secrets she had hid. Now it was Clidna's turn to speak and she said, "Aynia once worked at Fimbulwinter, a place known to help children with neurodevelopmental issues but was horrified by how Beira and the staff were mistreating these kids and want them to deal with it. Aynia voiced out her disagreement but Beira did not listen to her so Aynia quits. Aynia has a younger sister, Etain, who has neurodevelopmental syndrome as she suffered a lot from Beira. Etain was also a graduate from Fimbulwinter, where it wasn't just a facility but also a school. But it was an excruciating moment for her. Beira never stop being a control freak to Etain, who didn't feel comfortable to be around her as she sensed that something was wrong with Beira, she wasn't 'Mama Frost' as she called herself. Aynia, Etain, and Bridget were upset by how much evil and manipulative Beira is. As stated before; Beira has mistreated the 'special kids', making parents pay more than a 100 pieces of coins and bills. She never gives the best treatments as she promises she would and making those poor kids with syndromes and disorders deal with the problems they have. And abuses her use with the blue bloods to restrain the violent kids in the most physical way as she is verbally and emotionally abusive towards her staff. Even towards the good ones and she fired them whenever they try to speak their mind about the kids. Beira treats everyone like they are special, like a mother, but she doesn't help the kids who are being bullied. She forces her staff members in long, long meetings. She is greedy and only cares about is money. She needs money for her hair, her clothes, and at the beauty salon. It was really pathetic. Beira doesn't resolve big things with either teacher or student, she even accused a volunteer name Gus--a crude man that writes children's books about 'special kids'--to being a child predator, a drug dealer, having a dirty bathtub in his house, had naked pictures of himself, and how his teeth is bad. Beira and her sisters, who also work at the place, by bringing people in who are closer to them and do not bring others who seemed to know better because they think they are going to screw it up for them. The most sick part is that people can't see the menacing, spiteful, and money grubbing crone that Beira is. In a review about Fimbulwinter, someone once commented that this place was like a country club. Disgusting! Revolting! Unrelenting!" Then, she used the magic mirror as a TV to play out the images that they saw: 

"It's burning," A little boy said, cupping some of the water in the palm of his hand. "Of course it is son," His father chuckled. "You know the sun is beating down." Then, the boy exclaimed: "The water feels funny, daddy!" and flung the offending liquid onto the sand. The father came over and knelt down, leaving my paperback on the beach chair. "Daddy! The water, something is wrong!" The father could see tears forming in his son's eyes. "It's okay, son." The father said, as he took his little hand and felt the wetness of the ocean water on his fingers. It was warm, and tingled. The tingling increased and the warmth turned to a heat. The boy began to cry. And then, from down the beach, the father heard a scream. "OH MY GOD!!!" The father exclaimed. The man stood and squinted through the bright sun reflecting off the sand. The scream was joined by others from all around him and he could feel the terror of everyone on the beach becoming one rising wave of panic. He saw a young girl run in with the surf, screaming, her skin melting over her bikini. A portly man in a swimsuit ran in the water and fell. When his arms came up they were bone to the elbow, with great flaps of dissolving skin hanging like cloth. A young man pulled his tiny daughter in by the arms, dragging behind her the stumps that had been her legs. The father watched them come in, running, thrashing, falling, all of their skin melting from their horrified faces and revealing the white bone beneath. The little boy was crying. From high above, the sun beat down on the beautiful white sand of the beach. Now it was covered of blood and bones. And people were brought into a van as they were never seen again. The boy and his father were the only ones left as they went home. The van that took all those people had something that said 'EMERGENCY' on it but in the light, there was something underneath that said, 'EXPERIMENTS ONLY'. There were four test subjects also had large portions of muscle and skin torn away from their bodies. While the heart, lungs and diaphragm remained in place, the skin and most of the muscles attached to the ribs had been ripped off, exposing the lungs through the rib-cage. All the blood vessels and organs remained intact, they had just been taken out and laid on the floor, fanning out around the eviscerated but still living bodies of the subjects. They continued to scream to be left in the chamber and alternately begged and demanded that the gas be turned back on, lest they fall asleep. One of the subjects died from having his throat ripped out, another was gravely injured by an artery in his leg severed by one of the subject's teeth. 

When the heart was seen to beat for a full two minutes after he had bled out to the point there was more air in his vascular system than blood. The girl name Aibell. She was being tortured by Beira, who wanted to make her a monster but instead, the girl tried to get away however her arms were cut off by Beira. The girl managed to escape, looking for help. Until Aynia saw her. Emerging from the doorway. Hollow eyes. A flayed mask for a face. Ruined, fingerless hands, reaching forward. And so much blood. Aynia had stumbled back two steps, nearly falling over, before something in her brain kicked in and she sprinted for the elevator. Behind, she heard it croaking. And the scraping. Dragging itself after her. Aynia didn’t look back. She punched the elevator button over and over and over. Scrape. Then, mercifully, the doors opened, flashing a ray of light into the hallway. Aynia dashed in, hitting the wall, nearly weeping in relief. Then she realized that she hadn’t closed the doors. It was still crawling on. Inch by inch. Toward her. Aynia smashed her fist on the close button, and prayed. The last thing she saw before the doors closed were its eyes. Bloodshot. Lidless. Staring straight at her. Aynia and Clidna were on a small boat where they made a grisly discovery. There was people, all in various states of dismemberment. Most of the people were torn apart; one torso floated without limbs near two collided ships. The women on the other hand, seemed to have died from blunt trauma in the crash. They found a man was dead, his body looked like it had been half eaten. And Aynia touched his forehead and saw a disturbing memory inside his dead bodied, but living mind: He hits her again, harder this time. Her head rocks back; her eyes roll wildly. A wet gagging sound slides out of her leaking red mouth. She spits two molars onto the carpet. "YOU!!!!!" He shouted. He is sobbing now, his shoulders heaving raggedly between punches. The living room walls echo the dull meat market sounds of fist against flesh. She looks him dead in the eye and spits out an incisor, another molar, a canine. "Where is he? Where is my son?" This time the blow knocks her sprawling to the floor. She spits out two more incisors and a half-digested index finger. And then this thing that looks like his wife just stares up at him and smiles with a mouthful of impossibly sharp teeth. Aynia let go as she begin to feel increasingly uncomfortable. She managed to calm herself down as she and Clidna had to dig deeper. Then, they found bodies of three monsters and as she touched their skin, Aynia learned that they were once human: The three subjects were males, 22, 23, and 29. The subjects also swore to secrecy. The chemical was successfully administered to all three subjects. Within the first hour, all three of them started screaming in agony. After sedation, each subject had his left arm cut open with a scalpel and his right arm shot by a weapon. When the scalpel penetrated one of the subjects’s skin, it reacted with a dark amorphous solid substance filling the cut almost as fast as the skin was opened up. It sealed so fast that the scalpel was stuck in his arm. The injury caused by the blade was sealed by the dark amorphous blood within three seconds. After 84 hours, all three of the subjects started to act unusual. Instead of using the entertainment around them, they sat in their beds and groaned, as if they were sad or ashamed. After 110 hours, One of the subjects passed out. Blood tests could not be run because the blood was solid and amorphous. The only thing that was determined was the poison in their blood, which was at 5, was far more acidic than usual. The subjects were escorted to the test room. The three subjects looked far different from the beginning. The skin had turned to a shade of grey, and their skin looked noticeably thicker. 

Their eye colors have changed to pure black, and they were bloodshot. The experiment will continue as planned, but the chemical must be remodeled before repeating the experiment. Before opening fire on the subjects; the subjects showed inhuman strength. They immediately pounced on their attackers and used their teeth as a most effective weapon. Six armed men lost consciousness as their attackers touched their teeth to their skin. One’s arm was devoured by the subjects. Another set of two bodies were discovered and Aynia touched their corpses to find out what happened: Beira chose the macho looking guy who had tried to attack her to go first. When he walked in, the guy was more terrified than he had ever been in his life. Security strapped him into the long box-shaped metal frame. He was encased in what looked like a hollow cage without the extra bars in the middle, and two flat iron bars met in in the center of his body. Attached to their undersides were many small, sharp, iron spikes, suspended above his chest. A guard nodded at her and without warning, she pressed a button which suddenly lowered the two iron bars, plunging the spikes into the middle of his chest and abdomen. He screamed and clenched his fists as blood began oozing out, then turned his head to look at me. Beira raised my eyebrows. “I’ll only start when you’re ready. Remember, the longer you wait, the more it’ll hurt,” She reminded him. He breathed heavily, then turned his head back around to look at his bleeding body. Then he winced and looked away again. Soon, he wouldn't be like this anymore! The next day, There was a woman who was dragged into the room, screaming and begging. She shouted that she didn’t do it, and that she was innocent, but Beira was taking none of it. She signaled at security to strap her into the confinements. She didn’t bother to warn her. Slowly, Beira took out a syringe and a small jar full of bluish-yellow liquid. She closed the box then unscrewed the jar lid, sucking out a syringe-full of its contents. "No, please, don’t do this to me-" Beira walked closer, showing her that she was uninterested. She continued to sob and pant. “I wasn’t the one,” she whispered as she shook her head frantically. “I know who killed her, it wasn’t me! Don’t do it!” As the fluid entered her skin, her neck started to turn slightly blue, and her veins swelled up. She gasped in agony. Then Beira ran over to the laptop and started the timer. According to the measurements, she should be dead in around three days. Before they had to turn her body into the body of a monster!

Aynia shared her dream where she was training to get stronger but she almost messed up when she heard a knock at her door! "Sweetheart." Beira called. Aynia was finishing up as she called back, "Give me a second." She said. "Your dinner." Beira called again. "Beira! Please?" Aynia said in a strained voice. She managed to get out of her room as she has her dinner. But once again, Aynia trained herself hard until it was dark out. Beira came in. "Sweetie, you need to rest." Aynia said. "In a minute, OK? I just need to complete this." Aynia said. Beira watched her and shakes her head before shutting her door. After working on it for hours and hours, Aynia was exhausted, her mother came in all upset. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" demanded Beira. "Late. I know, but I need a little more practice." Aynia said. "You need to sleep this off." said Beira. "Beira, please leave me alone." Aynia said. "Be quiet, Aynia." Beira said with gritted teeth. "I can't sleep, OK? Can I just be left alone?" Aynia snapped. "Shut your mouth!" shouted Beira, slapping her. "It's because of those peope! I'm only trying to protect you from those people! I raised you, I  raised you to think for yourself."  She scolded. Aynia glares at her, she was going to go and brush her teeth when Beira stopped her. "Honey, wait. I just...I don't want you to go to bed. Mother has been feeling like crap." She explained. "Beira, stop! I don't want you to smother me so much that you're giving me a lot of issues! You're not my mother." Aynia explained. One day when she got home, her mother was waiting for her and demanded to know where Aynia was. "Beira, relax! I just needed to find a place so I went to--" She started to say but Beira interrupted with a horror expression and made accusations to her. "It's a boy, isn't it? It's all about this boy? I knew it would be boys. I knew it!" spat Beira. There was images of the doctors arrived in scrubs and protective gear managed to 'help' the people but Penny knew something was off about them and was about to leave when she tripped and fell in the water, which caused what happened to her face and body. When she woke up, she saw she was hook up to a drip and she tried to escape. They managed to capture her again and spent many hours studying her, using very un-delicate methods. She watched them and made no attempt to hide her feelings, however her only goal appeared to be to try to figure out a way to tell Lord knows who about us. The building was not primarily built to keep anyone out. It was built to keep her in. And today she escaped. "Why is Beira doing this? What kind of achievement is this she's trying to do?" demanded Aynia. Penny turned to her ominously, "You mean you don't know?" She said. Aynia shook her head so Penny got up and walked over as she pulled out a fairytale book. She flipped through the pages and showed Aynia of the story of Snow White. "According to the tale, the stepmother wishes to be the fairest of them all, not Snow White. She was so jealous and wanted all the beauty for herself." Penny explained. 

Aynia was terrified as she realized all this dread will make Beira to be more beautiful than before. Beira wanted to look beautiful forever as she feared of getting older and older so the only way to do all this was to sacrifice a lot of innocent people. The beach, all those people, the incident with the ship, all the people's bodies were torn apart which were found in the water. Aynia couldn't help but wonder, "Could Mama Frost Beira is possibly the Vain Queen from the Snow White fairy tale?" The images showed of humans......or what used to be them. All of them had abnormal body shapes, claw hands, and looked like naked humans but looked more violent. "What?" whispered Chloris, she couldn't believe it. "Stepmother!?" Clidna cried. Beira smiled at her, "Clidna, hi sweetie." "What the hell are you doing here?!" demanded Clidna. Beira's smile faded, "Do not talk to your stepmother that way!" She admonished. "Beira, Stop this now! I want you to be flat out honest and answer me--" Clidna admonished. Beira but cut her off. "I am only trying to protect you from these people." She said. "Those people are my friends, Stepmother." Clidna confessed. Beira looked at her with disbelief, then a smirk appeared on her face. "Friends? Friends?" She said, then she laughed at Clidna who looked down. She clenched her fists as she heard Beira clapping menacingly as she spoke to her, "All those bastards, They are feeding you lies, like your father." Clidna covered her ears, "Beira!" She shouted. But Beira did not ceased, "They tell you things They just want to brainwash ... They are demons, do not stay here. Clidna, you get your ass out there right now!" "No." Clidna said. Beira walked over to her with a rage look. "Are you talking back to me? Disobeying your own stepmother, I do not care how old you are. You are going to listen to me." She threatened. "Shut up!" Clidna screamed, a horde of banshees surround her and startled Beira. Clidna uses the banshees to keep them ready for anything. "I'm staying here, OK? Goodbye." Clidna ordered. But Beira slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground. She tried to get back up however she was pinned down by her stepmother. "Stupid brat, why do deliberately defy me? Is it me?! You hate Mama Frost, is that it?!" yelled Beira, wrestling her to the ground. "Get away from me!" cried Clidna. "What happened to my sweet girl? Huh What happened to my beloved stepdaughter Where's my fairy princess?" argued Beira. Clidna clenched her teeth and shouted out, "Gone, Beira! She's gone, and she's not coming back!" Clidna moved away from her but then Beira seized her, "You're not going anywhere!" screamed Beira. Cassandra pushed her hand away, "Get off me!" She exclaimed, Cass turns away from her. "You cannot handle this!" shouted Beira. Clidna turned back to her, "Oh, I can't? I'm the one messed up, you're the one who is the cause of all that I am!" She bellowed, and stormed off. "CLIDNA!" Her stepmother shouted. After shutting it off and the lights came back on, Clidna apologzied briefly for that last part and explains that Beira is not to be executed but she must be arrested for these things that she done to other people. 

While having lunch alone on the next day; Aynia was then approached by the quiet, seemingly snobby Lynette Stelios, who smiled kindly at her: "Sit with us, please." She said nicely. Aynia was stunt by this, "Um, OK. Sure." said Aynia, following her. She could hear her whisper, "Here she comes." Aynia sat with the Typhoid, but no sign of Bryce anywhere. She suspected that he must be going on a killing spree. "Welcome." said Freyr.  Then, Caius spoke up, "We talked. We find you fascinating. So we've decided to extend an invite to you." Aynia was surprised to hear this, "Wow, that's nice of you, thanks." She remarked. Taran and Freyr were looking at her intensely as Taran asked, "Did you decided on our offer?" Aynia looked guilty but smiled, "Well, I did. And I know you're going to be disappointed when I say this....I don't think I would join you because I have something more to accomplish and I would be way out of your league. I think I'm better off solo than with a group so fancy. I do find it promising but I don't think I can't. But thank you though." She explained. Typhoid Busters were upset to hear this, but they decide that it was OK....It seemed that way. After Aynia left; Taran, Freyr, and the others were going to make her regret what she said. One day, they will. The next day, while having lunch alone; Aynia is approached by her. Skatha Marion. She loudly slammed her bag to the table as she said, "Life sucks, Aynia. I feel like I can tell you this. I feel like I can be honest because you won't join us! Look at you, stuffing yourself like a bird while I talk. Strangely comforting...But now that I feel like I know you again that's all changed. It's so nice to know there's someone whos life sucks more than ours." Skatha leaned over and whispered, "You wanna hear a secret? Promise not to tell?" Then, there was a pause as she says: "Have you heard of the Seventh Son? No? Hmph, well I'll tell you." Skatha leaned inches away as she whispered, "The legend states the 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son' is the unborn one in the poetic sense, 'He' being preordained by his birthright too be a 'Maker of Things' endowed with gifts of 'second sight' 'predicting the future' 'healer' 'lucky' and a 'devil may care attitude' being referred to as the 'Divine One' or the 'Chosen One' who has a 'special purpose in life' for the 'Lord of Hosts' who is also cursed by the good & evil forces battling for his eternal soul." Another pause and Skatha whispered back in Aynia's ear, "He is a person who pervades the domain of intellectual speculation and diffuses himself through the channels of moral activity. He is omnific, omniform, omnipercipient, omniscience, omnipotent. He it was who invented letters, printing, the railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, the platitude and the circle of the sciences." Another pause before her soft voice spoke to Aynia, "There has been over 200 autobiographies or reflections of 'Seventh Sons' down through history, but what other people don't know that only the seventh person in a person's life is the one who marks the three sevens on the chosen one will be that seventh son. Sounds so cliche, but who the hell cares? It still marks destiny." After she was done, she was smirking however Aynia, who recovered from her shocked, as she sneer back. She flipped her hair and left Skatha. "So, you guys are the Seventh Sons besides Gavin, Bran, Amadan, Traian, and Rhiannon huh." remarked Aynia. Taran and Freyr exchanged shock glances before turning back to her. "Yeah, so what?" Taran retorted. Aynia gave them both a look, "Chill, I just want to know." She said. "Really?" asked Freyr. 
"Yeah, you seem harmless and sweet. You've shown sympathy and for some 'wild ninja'; you are an interesting kind. But I have to admit it, you are a geeky, dorky, and nerdy guy." Aynia explained. Taran's eyes bulged out, "What?!" He bellowed. Freyr couldn't help but chuckle a little at that, "Pfft...Sorry, that was funny. 'GEEK'? Wow!" He said. Aynia smirks at him, "You think that's funny? You look like a friggin' retired rockstar." She scolded. "Did you just called me a retired rockstar?!" He asked. Taran started laughing but Freyr looked at him darkly. Taran stopped laughing and he & Freyr glared at Aynia, "It's honesty, OK? I'm trying to be good enough to speak my mind. It's humiliating and harsh but it's the truth." Aynia said with a shrug. She was about to walk away when Freyr called out: "Hey, Aynia!" Aynia turned around, "Yeah?" She said. "You said to be honest right? Well, you don't look like a champion but rather some sort of fairy freak!" Taran taunted. Aynia looked at him, then at Freyr, but she walked away and didn't look back. Later, there was teacher who was taking some troubled students to stay at a manor in order to recover from problems and a more re-habitation lifestyle while also gaining a new life. But they cares about having fun than recovering. Maria was smoking on a hookah pipe.  While the others were getting rowdy; Juniper was in the conservatory and was looking for a wrench to fix the sink in the kitchen however he couldn't find it. He searched for it. Katie, who wasn't so rowdy like the others, decide to find a book around here. She found the library in the house and found a book to read. "Ben, who is she?" asked Maria. Aynia smiled, "I'm just a volunteer." She said. Aynia meets these people as Benjamin's friends: Lohengrin, Raymond, Maria, Katie, Juniper, Sage, Paris, Astrild, Troy, and Edgar. Aynia was amazed, "Wait, how many of you are there?" She asked. "Twelve." replied Edgar. Soon as time went by, the twelve of them begin to bond with Aynia, who becomes a true friend to them and help them redeem their ways as they stopped drinking and smoking. Then, Benjamin and his friends explained about their lives of abuse from parents or parental guardians, bullying in school, suffered psychological trauma in their lives, and tragedy that tormented them. Aynia helped them overcome that as they became different people because of her and they had plans for their future which made Aynia very happy to hear for she is grateful to help people like them. However, things were going to change and they won't be good for Aynia. At the movies; Aynia is having a blast with friends: Benjamin, Lohengrin, Raymond, Maria, Katie, Juniper, Sage, Paris, Astrild, Troy, and Edgar. They were watching the new action movie, which was so captivating and well written that life seemed to be so normal for them. 

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. "Guys!" called Aynia. "Aynia!" Raymond called. "Aynia, where are you?!" hollered Sage. She went over but looked on in horror as her friends were wounded, almost dead. She noticed that Troy was panting of the wound bleeding from there as he cries out, "Ohhh, the pain." He noticed Aynia there and calls out, "Get away from here!" "Save yourself Aynia!" Sage called out, "Get away from here!" However they were all shot at as Aynia screamed with terror. But she also could see Edgar, who begs Aynia to get out of here. Tears welled in their eyes, Aynia cried out, “Edgar! Don't do this, please!”  "Listen to me, Aynia, Just go, RUN!” screamed Maria. Theresa stabbed a knife into her, who gasped while the killer panted as she looked content at the deed had been done. It was Benjamin as well as Katie, who died earlier before Ben. They were on the ground, bleed profusely. Aynia couldn't believe it, "Benjamin! Katie!" She cried, rushing over to them. She grasped onto Benjamin's hand, "Come on. Stay with me, you guys will be fine....I'l get you a doctor soon enough." Aynia said. Benjamin opened his eyes, he smiled. "I'm sorry. I thought...I thought I was doing you a favor." He said. Aynia trembled, "Yes. You were." She said. "That's good. We love you, you are our best friend." whispered Benjamin. Aynia begin to have troubling dreams. She dreamt of the incident and was actually killed. But then, she woke up, feeling rather different today and she learned the identiy of the shooter by the name of Romeo Chandler. As she got back home from her day; Aynia 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. But this time, she had a dark daydream about how things were really screwed up and all unbalanced but everyone claims that everything was fine as there was nothing wrong. When Aynia opened her eyes, she emerged from the water of the bath, gasping for breath. She could never forget what she saw there and cried over their deaths as she promised herself to find Romeo Chandler and take him down for what he done. On the phone; Aynia was told to fight someone but it looks like her opponent has come. In the meantime, unknown to Aynia, Etain has come to see her sister fight however someone behind her approached. She turned around and said, "Hey, who are you? Part of the competition?" Then, "Wait! What are you--? GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" CRASH, someone was pushing her out the window and Etain lost her footing and fell down, thinking that she would die but she survived. Hearing the crash; Aynia was shocked to see who it was and rushed over to see her sister bleeding from her nose and her ribs were broken, "Ay...nia...." She whispered. "ETAIN!!!" Aynia screamed. Just then, she looked up and saw the sniggering group of Typhoid Busters, except Lynette and Freyr as Aynia got angry: "YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!" She shouted. "What? The twerp deserved it! She was a loser!" Taran said, still smirking down at Aynia. "You wretched assholes! She's my sister!" Aynia screamed. Typhoid Busters stopped sniggering as they looked shocked. Aynia turned back to Etain and Clidna came to her aid to get a medic. Aynia picked up her sister in her arms as she carried her. Etain was hazy as she looked up at the Typhoid Busters. That's when, Taran and Freyr begin to notice something about Etain. She looked radiant, beautiful she looked and also innocent. Guilt came across all of the members of Typhoid! This girl did not deserved this as they didn't mean it. 

Meanwhile, a girl was wearing a cloak and one of her arms was covered with a glove that reached down her elbow. She was on her wagon as she carried supplies into the village where she dragged it along the path on foot but her dress was so long that it got caught. She tried to tug and pull on it. She went off the path and she took a pair of scissors and cut the remains of her dress and changed. Percy, who was walking among the path, noticed the wagon and came across the girl who was half naked. When the girl saw, she gasped and backs away: "Stay away!" Percy was trying not to look at her body but he was concern to ask, "Are you all right?" However, the girl try to run however Percy saw her scars and was shock that he attempt to hug her. The girl was shocked as she screamed, "GET AWAY!!!!" She tried to tackle him however Percy lost balance and they both went down. The girl looked up at Percy, who is flustered a little. The girl's lips curled in a smile: "Hi." She said softly. Percy saw her lips are black. There are some short yet unusually sharp fangs. Percy wedge himself away, "S--sorry." He said. "I didn't know you were changing, I apologize." said Percy. "It's OK, I'm sorry for my behavior. I guess I don't like to be touched." The girl replied. She introduced herself by the name of Isis as the both of them seemed shy as Isis was sitting next to him. But Isis noticed something that made her concern: "What happened to your shoulder?" Isis asked, pointing to the scars she can see on Percy's neck. Percy shied it away with the collar of his shirt. "It's nothing." He said. Isis looked at him, "Someone hurt you?" She finally asked. Percy was silent for a moment before he spoke, "...Yes." "Who?" Isis inquired. "Some women, it's a long story....I rather not talk about it." admitted Percy. He turned away, looking ashamed. Isis glanced at him and nodded, "OK." It was really quiet, too quiet. Neither of them spoke but Isis broke the silence: "If it makes you better; I don't want to talk about mine either. It's too painful." She said. Percy looked up at her, "You were hurt?" He asked. Isis looked away, "You could say that." She said. They didn't talk so much but they enjoyed the sights and sounds of nature. There were four promiscuous women. They were known as Briseis, Elena, Isabella, and Jennifer. They took an interest at Percy but it was more of a depraved interest than a mere flirtatious greeting. The women tried to exposed themselves, Percy was mortified and Isis glared at them for being floozy. Then, the women got wild and tried to bite Percy's neck to give him a love bite, however she looked vampiric when she attempt to do this. Isis pushed her away and she fell to the ground before getting Percy away from these women. One afternoon; Percy came across one of the women, name Jennifer, as she tried to get him to come to bed with her. "Come and have some fun with me." purred Jennifer. Percy was uncomfortable with that. "I can't, I don't--I'm sorry." He said nervously, Jennifer placed her hands around him and begged, "Please, come to bed with me--Don't let me sleep alone." Percy was overcome with such terror, "No, stop it!" He cried as he pushed her away. Jennifer looked at him with shock, Percy felt guilty and he said: "I apologized but I can't..." He then went away. Heartbroken by this; Jennifer went into a rage and she begin to cry. In the meantime at night; Percy was collecting some sort of storage and was returning back when he heard footsteps and giggling of women. Percy turned around to hear or see nothing. "Hello, anyone there?" Percy called. He peered into the blackness, to his horror he saw glowing red eyes and started to run. "Stay back! Stay away!" He cried but he tripped and fell but felt hands on him. He turned around and screamed with terror. 


A moment later at dawn; Isis found an alley and someone crouch in the corner, "Percy is that you?" called Isis. The figure turned and it was Percy. He was covered in scars and bruises. His left eye was black, he was bleeding from his head and also his shoulders and from the legs. He was fidgeting as he hugged his knees. Isis was horrified, "Oh--! Oh no, Percy, what happened?" She asked. Percy begin to cry as he cringed and cried out, "It hurts, it hurts...." Isis managed to comfort him. "Who did this to you?" Percy did not say but Isis looks while she embraces him, "It's OK, it's OK Percy." She said but her face was angry. She will find out where those seductive, evil monsters are and she's going to take them down! She got holy water and an ax. She also had a arrows with the blood of a lamb after she slaughtered it. The cult really taught her this but she never used them again until she had to face 'demons'. Luckily; she came prepare to face the women that wronged her friend and she was about to take them all. Isis found the succubi as she identifies them that assaulted Percy! Isis took down the female demons one by one. Finally; Isis confront Jennifer as she plays a game of chase with her while she strikes at it with her weapon. Finally; Isis tortures her in a violent manner. When she looked at Percy, Isis's face was almost sallow, her eyes glowed of black and a purtple tint, and her hands were full of magic. Percy was too frightened to move, "Isis?" He gasped. Isis looked ashamed, "Go." She hissed in an ethereal and harsh tone. Percy was too scared, Isis then shouted: "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!" Her voice was diabolistic, more harsher. Then, she ran. Isis felt hot tears flowing from her eyes. She was so ashamed of herself. Percy wasn't afriad of Isis as he went out to find her and wants to know what's going on. Isis breaks down as she explains about her past: Her real name is Isadora Doron but friends called her 'Isis'. Isis was raised by her parents, who were kind people by the names that they bare; Baucis and Philemon. They were tragically killed in a car accident as Isis was taken in by her cruel grandmother, who like to put people down cruelly. And there was a boy, named Saul who developed a crush on Isis and try to pursue her. However Isis only see Saul as a friend. But Saul was more deranged and obsessive of her so Isis couldn't trust anyone in this cult. However, besides the cult; there was some nice people that were enslaved in this place. Orphans who were students: Jack, Hans, Greta, Molly, Finette, Johnny, Esben, Kaguya, Issunboshi, Momotaro, Belle, Sol, Cherie, Heureux, Myrsina, Stan, Etoile, Ivan, Jesper, Vasilisa, Marcassin, and Edna. There was some nice teachers that believe something was wrong with this cult and they were Mrs. Sally Vertigoss, Ms. Reba Spinner, Mrs. Michelle Berton, and Ms. Ileana Tertullian. Isis loved the children, who want to leave the cult and live in happy lives as they find that their so-called 'home' was nothing more than a place of terror. That's when it happened, one of the followers--someone by the name of Libor--came to the place where Isis was with the children and teachers. He took a gun and shoot the children and the teachers before taking his own life. Isis witness this as she was terrified while hiding in the closet. And she fled from that place! Percy was shocked and comforted her in her sorrow. Just as she did to him in his dark time.
