Chapter 4: Mean Girls, Obsession, and Friendships

The time of blissful happiness has gone away, the end of summer comes closer. Autumn enters, and now you have to deal with the harsh realities of life and death. The sound of a music box winding box, the song tingling on and playing. Then, the ballerina begin to twirl around and around. The mechanic heart became tired, it beats a little more until the song disappears. The tingling song ends. Just then, the ballerina came to life; she came off the podium she was twirling on as she walks over to peer from her prison as she can see the outside that there is something out there. She saw a butterfly fluttered by but the ballerina watches with fear as the butterfly was a bat instead as this scares her. Despite being scared; the porcelain ballerina longs to go outside, to break out of her prison and erase so she can move on with her life. But she fears dangers, in her mind is she tries to punch the glass, it cracks and it breaks but the ballerina falls along with her prison. The ballerina pushed that out of her head as she focused but then looks at her hands, arms, and around her body that she was cracking. The ballerina then shatters from the prison as she flies away. She never felt so much alive, she was free and this prison, this cage of her music box she was in. The ballerina twirled in her element, nobody to wind her up and spin when the music box plays. No longer she had to spin around on that podium. Now she was free, free to choose what she wants to be. Waking up from her dream in the morning; Clidna learn about her stepmother, as her comments had been like a double edge sword. The first was the oppression comments: "The pressure of being a banshee was one of the things I worried about when she was part of this so-called battle royale. It's in her genes with her parents. Just like her dad. Someone had to take care of her and that would be me." But then, she had said something that sounded so saccharine, "Clidna won't even talk to me. I don't blame Jawbreaker Battle Royale; I never said that. I was misquoted. Jawbreaker Battle Royale has been wonderful to my daughter. Now they are warning me not to say anything else. I would never blame her father. He is a wonderful father. I love Clidna. I think about her all the time and I pray she is OK and safe." The final straw came when Beira return old stuff she had kept from her stepdaughter. Then, left a voice mail on Clidna's cellphone: "I hate all of you....This is my last communication with you and you two can go to hell for all I care! Goodbye!" It was uncivilly laughable, but it hurt. Hurt so bad. Clidna was ashamed to think that this crone was really her stepmother.

Meanwhile while he slept; Bryce had nightmares about monsters killing everyone in a bloodied way as he saw himself as one and woke up shrieking. Luckily nobody can hear him as he sneaked out to be alone. Bryce looked up at the sky, seeing how pretty it is. "Bianca, look at the stars in the night sky. It's perfect, I wish you were here to share it with me....Like we used to." thought Bryce. The next day, an exhausted Bryce is much calmer as he learns of a girl who could help them out as she calls herself Red Herring Hood. Looks like Bryce and the others are in for a lead to find Morgause Jael. There is one lead--Someone who knows about this girl. His name was Rudra. He was a hustler and a bounty hunter. He has a a girl in his custody name Maisie. It was so dark in that house, there was no sign for this Rudra anywhere. There wasn't any security around, "Geez, what is he? Cocky? Or is he springing a trap?" thought Bryce. While looking around, there was a sun ray shining down on someone. There was beautiful young girl. She was slender, has ivory skin with pink blush on her cheeks. Her hair was shoulder length wavy dark brown hair. She wore a long sleeved pink sweater, with a red green vest with a white outline around the vest. She has a red fringed skirt, pink leggings, a red cowboy hat and matching colored high heeled boots. She looked pretty, but she looked sad. Bryce and the others watch her, she was looking around however she saw them in the darkness. "Master Rudra! Master Rudra, intruders!" cried the girl. She ran away quickly. "Wait!" called Bryce. Too late! The alarm went off, Bryce and the others didn't like this. "That can't be good." Taran remarked. Suddenly, They were confronted by a tall man. He had a dark brown hair that was shoulder length. He has a muscular fit body and a stubble beard. His attire was a maroon jacket, maroon boots, maroon pants, and a matching colored wide brimmed hat. Bryce couldn't believe it, this couldn't be him--Could it? "Gotcha right where we want you--" Taran said. "--Riquet the Snake!"  said Taran and Freyr. The two of them charged at Rudra, Maisie gasped with fright as she watched helplessly but Riquet smirked. He blocks their attacks with his double swords. Rudra looked at them, who are shocked, as he said: "So this is Bryce Arsene I heard so much about!" A few minutes later; Bryce, Taran, Freyr, Rudra, and Maisie were sitting around having a meeting. "I agree, under one condition." replied Rudra. Bryce looked at him, "What's the condition?" He inquired. "Take Maisie with you, I'm selling her to you." Rudra said, gesturing towards her. Maisie looked up in horror, Bryce nodded. "OK." She said with no hesitation. "What? But Master--" Maisie protested. "You'll keep her with you, won't you?" said Rudra. "Sure, who knows! She might learn something." Bryce remarked. Maisie bowed her head, she noticed Taran and Freyr look at her so she looked away. Maisie wasn't comfortable with a bunch of strange people but she cannot let herself down. During the journey; it got colder and Maisie was complaining on how cold it was. However, Bryce gave her his jacket and Maisie puts it on. She couldn't help but look at him with curiosity, "Geez! I can't believe it, why is he being nice to me?" thought Maisie, she had a suspicious look on her face. During that time; Bryce, his gang, and Maisie are under attack by monsters. Taran and Freyr fought alongside Bryce, while Maisie was amazed to see this. "Wow, Bryce just took down those beasts....Who is he?" Maisie whispered. 

"Watch and learn what I'm about to show you....Get ready, aim your target and wait for the right moment to fire...." said Bryce. Once he waited, he attacked. "...YAH!" He cried. He strike the beast, who fell down. "There, easy. Try it." said Bryce. Maisie smiles shyly, "Sure, how bad could it be?" She said. Bryce showed her what to do and let her try it on her own. He reminded her, "Remember--Ready, Aim...And wait for the right moment to fire." Maisie nodded, "Got it." She said. She waited for her enemy to come and it did, she hit it down and lost her balance. "Ah, oof!" Maisie tumbled down and steadied herself up when she felt a shadow upon her and looked up to see Bryce. "Uh, sorry..?" Maisie said nervously. Bryce wasn't upset, "Not bad for a beginner but you were off balanced a little." He said. Maisie grinned slightly, "Heh." She said. Maisie found that Bryce is pretty awesome. But there was trouble ahead as then, the Dearg Due monsters attacked. Helpless and shocked by the bloodshed; Kallo snapped! She lunged at them and cut their throats open, blood sprayed out and one of her captors cried out in agony. "Stop her!" said the leader. But the other men tried however she was too invincible. She continued to fight, even if she had hands tied behind her. Maisie was covered in blood. Someone cut her free, she turned around to see who it was, it was Bryce who used a blade to cut her from the bounds and she was at last free. "Thanks." said Maisie. She went in as she slaughtered the cult as she cried out, "CRAZY!!!! YOU'RE CRAZY, OVERZEALOUS, INSANE WITH IDEAS OF EVERYTHING BEING A SIN!!!!!  More blood was splattered on her suggestive body but she didn't care, she wasn't going to stop until men like them were dead. Maisie faces her enemies of the Dearg Dues as she never felt so free in all her life! People think Maisie is just like any other girl. but she knows she’s something special. She’s tired of being dismissed as something not unique or special. Maisie is a girl, but she often doesn’t act the way girls are expected to act. In fact, she can even seem a little violent at times. She’s more than capable of being raunchy and blood thirsty. Maisie can be sexy and gritty, a personality which are especially frowned upon when exhibited by a girl. Being unladylike comes naturally to Maisie, because her thoughts aren’t ladylike. Asena doesn’t think this is a particularly bad thing; she says “bloody” and “guts” so casually, one would think she was being somewhat sarcastic. Most girls are so concerned about their weight and how they look, They can have their fake food, but Asena’s going to enjoy the real thing. Girls are never encouraged to fight for things they want, or “let themselves go”.  However, she isn’t going to be a perfect girl. Maisie doesn’t care about her weight or anything like that, and it bores her when girls obsess over their appearances because Maisie doesn’t even bother thinking about it. The things they say don’t interest Asena and so she tends to tune them out or she responds back with sarcasm and rudeness, “So, you eat a lot of calories. Who cares? I’m falling asleep here from how boring you are, can’t you talk about something more interesting?” Of course, the other girls are likely unappreciative of this attitude, and don’t try to talk to Maisie again. Mean girls are constantly get picked at by others, because of their appearance and actions. Making fun of “superior and rich" women makes self-conscious girls feel better about themselves. Society tells girls that they should be soft and polite, and not be capable of “fighting dirty” or breaking the rules. Maisie doesn’t want to go along with what society is telling her to be. Because she doesn’t make an effort to fit in with the other girls, Maisie is mocked and ridiculed. She believes the reason these girls gossip about her is to hide their own insecurities. The things they’re saying aren’t true anyways. Society wants Maisie to be a typical girl and conform to its ideas of what a girl should be like, and for a while she even went along with it. But now, Maisie’s going to laugh and do what she wants. She wants drama and carnage. 

How did she became this way? Long ago, about one year ago; Maisie is a exotic dancer who is making money to go and live a new life from the life she live of sin and troubles. One night it was dark and there was no sound except the chirpy ringtone came from Maisie's cellphone that was in her bag. She answered it, "Hello?" She said. Maisie listened before she responds back, "Hey, it's me. Just got back from 'struttin' my stuff' if you know what I mean." Another pause and then she said, "I know, I know. Look, once I get that hundred grand; then I'm done. OK? It's my last tomorrow." A short pause, "OK, cool. Thanks." And she hung up after saying goodbye to that person. Just then, Maisie thought she heard something and turned around. "Who's there?" She called out. No one answered so Maisie kept walking however she felt like someone is following her so she begins to run but that was a big mistake. Her heel broke and slid down a steep street but the figures approached, evil chuckles. "Stay away from me!" cried Maisie, but they didn't listen. Maisie was attacked and tortured by five men. Just then, there were police sirens in the air and the men heard them as they escaped. One day, Maisie woke up with a rash on her back and couldn't understand what was happening to her. In the present, the gang was under attack as one of the Dearg Due monsters knocks her out and tries to kill her but Bryce steps in and protects the girl while he and Maisie get kidnapped. Afterwards; Maisie woke up to light poured through a boarded up window, it was morning. She scans her surroundings as only to snap her attention turned to a corner with a shuffling sound. "So, you're finally awake beautiful." A voice murmured. She looked and she saw Bryce in a straitjacket, "You OK?" asked Maisie. "Oh, yeah. All tied up so this isn't nothing new." Bryce remarked sarcastically. Maisie can't remember what happened as she looked around at the windows and the door, checking to see that they were locked however Bryce is watching her every move while in the room. "Whatcha looking at?" Maisie grumbled, prying a plank from the floor. It wasn't like him looking at her bothered Maisie one bit but somehow, a faint blush creeping on her face as she could feel Bryce's eyes raking her while he chuckled. Maisie sighed, sitting back in her corner. A lot of time has passed and Bryce stretched his arms out, he looked at Maisie and grinned wickedly: "So, what do you think about killing people?" He asked. Terrified; her mind was shrieking, "What kind of question is that?" as she flattened herself on the wall while Bryce chuckled again. He shifted around and he seemed uncomfortable. "Ugh! These stupid restraints." He muttered with a look of a disgust. Maisie walked over and removed the restraints, "What the hell?" Bryce started to say but then he felt loose from the straitjacket and grinned, throwing the jacket off him. Bryce stretched while Maisie watched him for awhile. It was now dark out and Maisie yawned but she didn't sleep. She begin to hum to herself, while trying to stay awake. Bryce watched her, "Nice singing, you got yourself a beautiful voice." He said. Bryce frowned, he doesn't know her and Maisie doesn't know him that much but she chuckled as he was trying to frown away. "It's London Bridges, by the way. The song." She said while smiling at him. It was quiet for a moment until Maisie looked at him, "Bryce?" She asked. "Hmm?" Bryce responded. "What do.....What do you think about me?" inquired Maisie. She looked at him, the agent seem want to know this, she could feel his heart racing, she didn't want to admit that she was falling for him. Monster or not, he should know that she likes him a lot, no other guys ever made her feel this way. As light finally poured through the window, she looks up at Bryce, He leaned against the wall looking at her way. Maisie smiled nervously, "They will catch us now. What will we do now?" She ask, panic evident in her voice. Bryce chuckled in a deranged manner, making the agent roll her eyes at him. "What's so funny?" She ask pouting while crossing her hands on her chest. "You're funny" Bryce said, yawning as he was looking at her. She looked away from him huffing. Maisie looked away from him huffing. Then, there was a loud noise as Maisie looked to the window from which Bryce yanked off the planks. Bryce was climbing out as he hold onto the window as he looked at her, "I like you so, until next time Maisie." He said as he lets go off the window. Maisie ran towards the window and shocked to see him disappearing into the forest. Maisie's shocked expression turned to a soft smile when his words played in her head. At last, Maisie laid down in her bed sighing. It was quite late at night and she just can't seem to sleep. She was thirsty but lazy enough to go get it. Finally unable to bear it anymore she sat up wrapping the blanket completely around herself, she try to climb down the bed only to have a glass of water held in front of her face. Half asleep, the agent grab it, quickly gulping down the content, "Thanks. Needed it badly." She say only to have her eyes widen, Maisie sat up straight to see a blue mask staring at her, she calmed seeing it was Bryce. "You scared me." Maisie say pouting playfully at him. He returns her a chuckle. He lays down on the bed below, she giggle as she sat beside him wrapping him with her blanket too. He shifts a bit on the bed as he relaxes. She look at him and see him sleeping as his chests gently rises and falls, Maisie giggle at the sleeping figure and she lay down beside him, "Life became so much better." She thought as she drifted off to sleep snuggling under her bed while the sleeping Bryce sleeps below so he may protect her.

Meanwhile; Aslaug and her friends were taking the bus to Jawbreaker Battle Royale as Aslaug cracked some jokes. "Did you hear about the blonde corn maze?" asked Aslaug. Trudy shook her head, "What?" She asked. "It only had one stalk." admitted Aslaug and the girls laugh. Aslaug had another joke, "Why do blondes wear their hair up?" She asked. "Why?" Svana inquired. "To catch everything that goes over their heads." answered Aslaug, again they  laugh. "What's the mating call of the blonde?" questioned Aslaug. "What?" Magda said. Aslaug pretend to sound intoxicated, "'I'm sooooo drunk!'" She said. Aslaug was on her last joke, "What goes: vroooom-schreech, vrooom-schreech, vroooom-schreech?" She asked. Kara looked at her with a questioning look. "A blonde at a flashing red light." Aslaug blurted out, and they all laugh. Then, Svana told a joke: "A woman went to the doctor today and said, 'After every date, I end up in bed. I can simply refuse no man, and afterwards, I feel like a tramp and an idiot.' Then, the doctor said: 'Very well, I'll give you some pills, and you'll have no problem refusing...' But the woman said, 'No, doctor, not something to be able to refuse. Give me pills so I won't feel like a tramp and an idiot.'" Svana blurted out. And the girls laughed, well except Aslaug. However, they arrived at the arena to come in but they didn't want to fight as they hate the sight of Clidna since they first arrived in the room and find her repulsive. Things got serious as one of Aslaug's friends purposely spilled her drink and Aslaug called out for Aynia. Annoyed; Clidna walked over but slipped the drink and fell down. Aslaug and her friends laughed, however Aynia helps Clidna up. Aynia was lead away but Aslaug called out: "Nice day for FALL, huh Clidna? Guess love is dead and gone with your ugly face!" The girls and Aslaug laughed even harder as Clidna lost her tempered and seized Aslaug by her shoulders screaming: "NOW YOU'VE ASKED FOR IT, YOU BITCH!" Clidna clawed at Aslaug and pulled her hair as she shouted, "HOW ABOUT I MAKE YOU PUKE OUT WHAT YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST THIS MORNING?! YOUR FACE IS RUINING, HUH YOU SHIT-HEAD, AND YOU AND ME? WE WERE NEVER FRIENDS!!!! YOU MOTHER-HUMPIN' PRINCESS WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TRUE SUFFERING IS, AND YOUR FRIENDS HERE--ISSIE IS A LOCH NESS MONSTER, MUONNA IS A BORNING WANNABE, SHIKOME IS A WILD VAMPIRE MANIAC, AND SHOJO IS A PLAIN, UGLY AND SHE KNOWS IT!!!!" Clidna got pulled off by Aynia as Aslaug screamed back: "I'll sue you, you strumpet! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO STYLE MY HAIR?!" Aynia could not believe her ears what that girl said, "YOU ARE SELFISH, NO WONDER I HATE YOUR GUTS!!! I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL YOU LOW LIFE SOCIALITE!!!!!" Aslaug cried as her posse friends comforted her while Aynia dragged the violent girl out of the room and took out in the hall. 

In the meantime; Flidais visit the Lady Lake museum in and finds herself moved by the awesome power of storytelling. Jason Gyges is there, too, and at the end of the tour he shares his sincere wish that Lady Lake would have been a fan to him. Bridget shakes her head in dismay, wondering how someone could be that self-centered. Bridget is vacationing in a tropical land, enjoying the vibrant culture and friendly people. Taking a walk, she happens to spot Jason Gyges illegally tagging buildings with graffiti. Bridget feel disgusted by his privilege and hope he gets caught. One week later; Flidais move into hotel to stay for awhile in a quiet residential neighborhood. Flidais is watching her young daughter happily bounding from one side of the front lawn to the other. Meanwhile, her new neighbor Jason Gyges speeds by, test driving his fancy new car by going a lot faster. Flidais comes over to say that she doesn't appreciate reckless driving in her neighborhood. His reaction is to spit in her face and threaten to kill her. And Flidais decides to file a police report. One night, Jason Gyges and his posse are launching eggs over her fence and at her home, causing pretty extensive damage. so she calls the blue bloods as they took care of it. While searching for the bathroom at an unruly house party, Flidais accidentally waltz into the bedroom instead. Inside, she catches Jason Gyges  in a rare, intimate moment, shirtless and strumming an acoustic guitar, crooning brand new tunes. Flidais apologize for the interruption and bid a hasty exit. After she left, Flidais was laughing uncontrollably at how utterly awful that was. A month later at a restaurant trying to enjoy a nice meal with friends when Flidais are interrupted by Jason Gyges and his posse, who are evidently not there to eat but rather stir up some trouble. A particularly offensive comment about her ex strikes a nerve, and she finds herself seething at the pop star. Part of her wants to punch him but she calms down as she and her friends leave to create space away from this bozo. At her new job; Flidais is a chef at a high scale restaurant. Somehow, Jason Gyges and his posse wind up in the kitchen, where she witness him urinating into a mop bucket, laughing all the while. While calm; Flidais ask him to leave and he does. There were things that are said to be responsible for destroying Jason's career: Early on it was due to his infectious teen pop music and his girly voice. These days its popular to mock and hate on Gyes for his jerkass actions in real life. Jason Gyges hitting adulthood and many of his oldest fans starting to grow out of him. The explosive breakout of fairy boy band, taking away almost all of Jason's youngest fans and quite a chunk of the older ones as well. His attempt to retool himself as a "bad boy" to try and stay relevant, only to become a reckless and self-absorbed individual. His hatedom continuing to grow rapidly and them doing everything in their power to wipe Jason Gyeges Fever off the face of the Earth, with even mainstream media joining in on the fight against him.

There was flashbacks while sleeping of Etain was taking a walk when she came across an old, abandoned building but then, she heard a noise. "Who's there? Show yourself, I know you're there!" Etain called. As if on cue, there was a mysterious boy, white male, with short black scruffy-looking  hair has grown longer past his ears and blue cyan eyes. He is well-muscled with a v-shaped torso, broad shoulders and clearly defined muscles. He wears a dark green shirt, army jacket and blue jeans with blue and black shoes. But something was wrong with this guy and Etain pointed a gun at him, "Get back, get back!" She said. She started shooting however she is shocked that the bullets missed somehow. Etain couldn't believe it, she begin to walk backwards. Had a hard time to breathe. "What. Are. You?" Etain said, she walk backwards to a staircase and almost fell however she is saved by the mysterious boy. Etain looked up, she blushed at how cute this guy was: "Uh...Hi." She replied awkwardly. "What are you doing here?" The boy demanded. Etain was shaken, "You talk? I mean, I--Who you are?" She inquired. The mysterious boy looked at her, "My name is Oisin Terran." He answered. Etain gazed at him with amazement, "Oisin, that's a very unusual name." She remarked. Oisin nodded, "Very, but enough about me, tell me who you are." He said. Etain sighed so she begins to explain and Oisin softens to her when he learns what is going on. Later by the river; Etain was looking at the water lapping but she stopped when she hears a music box behind her and looks at it, the song sounds familiar to her. But as she looks up, she notices someone is video-taping her. Etain realized it's Oisin and she feels creeped out. She went back inside the castle, wondering what the heck was going on with this guy. While looking around, Etain heard a music box and saw Oisin standing there. Oisin looked at her before he spoke out. "You like it?" asked Oisin, he then closed the music box. Etain looked away, "Um, just thought the song was beautiful. That's all." She claimed. "Me too, I think the song is wonderful." agreed Oisin. "Yeah, sure." Etain replied, looking annoyed. Oisin noticed her attitude, "What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" He asked. Etain glanced at him, "Why were you filming me?" She demanded. Oisin realized what he did, "Uh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not an obsessing stalker." He explained. Etain didn't believe him, "Uh huh." She said. "I'm just curious." Oisin remarked. 

Etain looked at him with disbelief, "You're just curious? Don't you have a life?" She snapped. "I do, but you seemed interested. Very different." Oisin spoke. Etain moved away, "Stop trippin'!" She proclaimed. Oisin looked at her with confusion, "Trippin'?" He inquired. Etain felt like smacking her forehead, she couldn't believe she said that! "Sorry, that came out wrong. I meant to say was, 'stop lying'." She said. "Why would I lie?" asked Oisin. Etain glared at him, "People I know do, I can't trust people." She said. Oisin was perplexed, "You can't trust people?" He said. Etain got up and was about to leave when she was hit with a bottle, she was OK but unconscious. Oisin looked up and glared at the person responsible. Later, Etain woke up to hear voices: "She awake yet?!" A voice said, almost loud. "Calm down, geez!" The second voice rebuked. "Stop fighting, you guys, she'll wake up scared." A third voice replied. "She'll already be scared, stupid!" The first said. "Hey, what did I tell you about saying bad words to others?" The third scolded. "Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll keep quiet." remarked the first voice. "I can't believe you talked us into this." A fourth voice moaned. "I still can't believe I wanted to do this." complained the first. "How did you get her in here anyway?" asked the second. "My own way." The first voice remarked, the tone in his voice sounds like he was smiling. "Hey, I know you. You hit me in the head with that bottle." Etain said, pointing over to the crimson-red haired guy. The other guy with dark hair looked at this friend, "What?" He said. The crimson-red haired guy grinned nervously, "Heh, works every time?" He said. But then jumps up in front of Etain, who winced. "But hey, she looks cute, so what's your name doll?" He said. "Doll?" The blonde girl snapped. The dark haired guy rolled his eyes, "Ah, the word of the day for when you see a cute girl." He said. Etain looked around shy, "My name is Etain." She said. The red head grinned and nodded with approval, "Straight forward cool." He said, "Jail friggin' bait. Jack friggin' pot, baby!" A few moments later; Etain got to know the gang as their names are Lewellen Wagner--The crimson red head. Evelyn Patton--The blonde haired girl. Hermes Valentino--The dark haired guy. Seth Faust--The calm guy with white blonde. And Thortan Aurvandel--The brown haired guy. While Etain got to know the others; she noticed Oisin was with this cute, pretty girl. The girl noticed and introduced herself as Nia Mette, she was Oisin's girlfriend! Now that makes Etain a little jealous, it seems she has a little competition with this girl. For Oisin's affections. And Nia nor Oisin don't have a clue, nobody else did. 

Etain’s not attracted to any guy's arrogance. He’s extremely intelligent and understands things that are complicated. On the flip side, it’s hard for him to comprehend the simple things in life like knowing how to please a women. Etain isn’t looking for a superficial connection; she wants real, true love from a genuinely good and well rounded man. Being really smart is great and all, but that alone won’t get you very far with her. The guy is probably smart enough not to understand Etain. The second guy she’s met obviously cares way too much about his looks. He never leaves home without a mirror, a comb, and some extra hold gel in his hair for fear that it might get a little bit messy. Maybe Etain finds him reasonably attractive, but it’s things like these that drive her away. At any rate, she won’t be terribly impressed by good looks alone. Even if the guy who’s trying to impress her is gorgeous, that’s not going to be enough to satisfy her high standards if he’s not great in other ways too. Etain is not taken with looks or talk — she wants a man that can make her feel good, both inside and out. The take-home is that is not worthy for her. Most likely won’t really impress Etain unless you can keep her warm at night. She’s only making fun of shallow men who consider themselves superstars. He can find someone that is way better than the girl that basically can do whatever she wants. The world knows that she is a crazy bitch, she does every thing she wants that comes to her mind! All she wants is to lose control of herself, and let go. Etain is weird, she laughs herself to sleep which is the complete opposite of what most sad people do. The adrenaline rush she gets when doing dangerous things makes her feel alive. Etain wants to do things to the extreme. She wants people to push her to edge just to feel alive! It’s boring to do what others expect this guy to do. For the time being, Etain looked around to see the colors in the air as she danced around, feeling magic in the air of how beautiful this place. However, she was daydreaming so much that she didn't watch where she was going. Because she bumped into someone else: "Aaah!" The person said. "Yipe!" Etain yelped. Etain and the other person stumbled down as Etain cries, "Good Lor--Whoa!" Down, down they went but they were all right. "Hey, pal! What the hell?" Etain demanded. "Sorry about that, love, you hurt?" The person said, in a hardy British voice. He was a cutie, Etain felt like a jerk to this totally attractive guy with glasses, which he was adjusting. "Hello...It's OK. I'm fine, it's no big deal." Etain apologized. "You serious, love?" asked the guy. "Yeah, my bad. And I'm dead serious." confirmed Etain. "Fascinating." The guy complimented. Etain smiled, The guy realized he forgot to introduced himself. "Oh, sorry. Cynan McKay." He introduced. Etain shake his hand, "Etain Sumarr." She said. Etain was fascinated with the guy by his accent and he bonds with her. Cynan was pretty foul mouthed, smart aleck kind of guy and he was unable to talk to girls, such as Etain. Cynan looked at her, "Are you OK?" He asked. "It's hard for me, you know. Sorry, I'm being too personal but I have no one....Well, I'm being exaggerating. I have friends but no one close!" Etain explained in between sobs. Cynan looked at her thoughtfully before he had an idea. "What if you stay the night? The whole night?" asked Cynan. Etain looked at him, "Really? Oh, I don't...want to be a bother."  She said stammering. "It isn't, love." Cynan said. He leads her in as Etain saw that his house had a window of a nice view of the beach. "Oh, Cynan....It's beautiful!" breathed Etain. "I know, I knew you would like staying here for the night." Cynan said. 

Music was playing some sort of high lonesome whistling and cold vocals set to harpsichord and strings, the singer's voice is vocals piped into a modulates and distorts them of an electric sound. Etain begin to sway a little, "Nice music, what is it?" She asked. "Caramel Dash." Cynan answered. Etain nodded, "Nice, I never heard of this band." She remarked. "It looks like you have an interest in music." Cynan said. "I do, I like music this way." Etain admitted. That night; Etain cannot sleep but she is startled to see Owen Celio in her room. Etain is not going to listen to what he is going say. Etain asked if he is here to kill her and Owen chuckles & tells her that he wasn't sent here to murder, "What would I do without you? Starve to death? I don't think so, your amazing to me." Etain says that he is a bunch of crap and says that she is going to sleep. Owen moves closer and tells her softly that she will suffer her last breath because he was sent here so she wouldn't reveal anything 'personal'. Etain moves away and replies that she will think about it. Owen turns Etain's face towards him as he leans towards her lips; whispering: "I'm not gonna bite....you." Etain kicks him and orders him to leave. Owen smirks and tells her "You'll be sorry, But someday you will have great power." Etain insists that she doesn't want it but Owen tells her that she will & disappears. Just then in the next day; Etain encounters Owen's arrogant, snobby twin sister: Morfydd Celio. Next; 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. Etain was hazy as she looked up at the Typhoid Busters. Later, Etain would have to go through a special surgery that would restore her and Aynia begged the doctors to save her sister. When Etain woke up, she was on the cot and she didn't know what this place was but she saw someone familiar. Her eyes filled with tears, then she spoke out softly: "Help Me. Please, help me."

Etain struggles with the fact that she is a high school graduate who is not going to college. She has no other plans, which this very much stresses her out. To her surprise when they arrived there; Etain is not getting sick as she is growing out of her sickness. Etain enjoyed her state of being in her new hometown, however she thought about her life from past to present. She decides to write a biography about her but she had a better idea: After seeing the movie about a character that goes to a fictional cartoon world, Etain creates her own story about a girl going into the anime world that she created from child to her young adult. In Etain's dreamworld; she dreamt that she was Alice in a boat, she buys an egg, and it turns into Humpty Dumpty. The woman serving in the shop turns into a sheep, and the next minute they are rowing in a rowing boat somewhere. They were traveling in a mystical, psychedelic countryside where tangerine trees are pleasant skies. The kaleidoscope was reflecting into colorful symmetrical shapes that looked like flowers. Etain gets off the boat and goes to a bridge near a fountain. Nearby there are rocking horse people eating marshmallow pies. She’s confused like Alice when she fell down the hole. She walked to where the ultimate bliss on a desolate isolated sand beach of a fictional land. She knew that place didn't exist for sure however she knew typical 'sweet dreams' won’t lead to happiness. But then again, nothing leads to happiness. There are others who are sadists and some are masochists. But Etain focused on where she was now. This utopic destination in her dreamworld can only be seen by those pure at heart. When she shares a symbiotic connection, she knows that she has just arrived. Everyone has their own favorite Dreamworld Resort, their utopia. All her life, she is always in a hurry, always waking up early for school. Etain's life is a big blur as it’s going so fast. She is having to live her life by the clock because of school. Her time is not for wasting and she has realized that. Someone else can follow the average person’s rules and expectations. While she tries to enjoy her life and find happiness, Etain realizes that less is more. She realizes her dreamworld is valuable and should visit all the places she’s always wanted to visited and live her life to the fullest. She’s done with the extra scum. Etain wants everyone in her world to know that she’s out having fun and enjoying her dreaming. Etain won’t miss out on the fun at the beach in her sleep. 

All alone; Etain is on the verge of having a breakdown as she looked around and talks to no one in particular of so many things: "I am having a friggin' breakdown, I am obsessed with characters in my flippin' head and it's driving me crazy. I want to tell a story about someone else before I came up to here. But I can't! I have nothing! NOTHING, I TELL YOU!!!! NOTHING!!!! IT MAKES ME SO ILL AND SICK I COULD JUST SPIT! I could foam at the mouth and have even more break downs. Maybe I can wreck something but I do not want to hurt anybody! I can't take it so much, if I keep this up--I'll lose my head! This is a final desperate plea. I am doing this because nothing else has worked for me. I want to get out, I don't want to be trapped in this hell any more. I'm so depressed that my vision is clouded and everything is just blurry to me. It’s all the same. This depression is driving me insane. It’s a vicious cycle as my sadness sends me into a spiral of madness, and this depresses me even more. I'm losing my sight and my mind! All I'm doing is running and crying!" She stopped for a moment before continuing: "I'm just obsessed....About a stupid duo of characters. IS THAT SO WRONG?! IS THAT SO WRONG?! I JUST WANT TO CREATE A TEAM UP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE FOR AWHILE BUT I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Etain managed to calm down as she fainted while she wrote something to get this violent feeling off her chest: A girl bludgeoned another girl and cut her fleshy tongue out. Second; She burnt two sisters alive, she drills a boy in the face, and also slitting the throat of another boy. The murderous uses a chainsaw and slaughtered him, she stabbed a mean girl in the back and drowned her in a tub full of leeches. The girl choked and garrotted a black skin girl, stabbed the screaming red haired girl, and decapitated a boy. She beat and pierced two boys in the eyes, and burnt a woman with battery acid. She decapitated a man as well as severed his hand, and hung up the stabbed bodies of other people. However someone was watching her and he begins imagining that she is standing alone as she wore a red lingerie with a blood stained body from head to toe. She holds up the heart of a pig for him to see and eats it whole. Then, she starts to unzip her clothes, revealing bare skin underneath and a cloud of blood flows out from beneath the cloth. "A Goddess of Blood.....?" thought the boy. Then, he begins to smile as he was excited to see her. Meanwhile; A drop of blood slow falls from the air above the boy's bed. More and more begin to fall, covering his face and pillow as he stares up at the ceiling. There was a carpet of blood and the naked , murderous girl, who is covered only by a few strategically-placed blood drops that are slowly falling away as she is reaching her hand over at him. The boy wakes up and he sighed but he heard water in the bathroom and went to see who's in there. Inside the bathroom, The boy witnesses the girl reclining in a large bathtub. She says: "I've been waiting for you." When he walks closer he sees that the bathtub is filled with blood. "You look good, I can see how much you kill." said the girl. Then, she looked at the bathwater.  "Is the water to you warm blooded or cold blooded?" She asked. The boy dipped his hands into the water and looked at the blood before drinking it from his hand as the girl leans her head back as she could feel the blood in her and lets out a climax spasm. Snapping out of it; Etain was shocked at this, she had to calm herself down as she was struggling to write a story since the attack from the Typhoid Busters and couldn't get them out of her head! Their sneering faces, their sniggers, and how they leered at her. She only saw Taran, Caius, and Rodolf. 


Etain woke up and feels different, then she discovers as she stared at the rattling mirror as it shattered that she can break things with her mind. She also learns she has superhuman strength, inhuman speed, and enhanced reflexes. But that wasn't all, she also has the power of danger intuition as well as accelerate healing. Things were changing for the better for Etain and her life would never be the same again. Back with Aynia, she digged up more research on Traian and discovered that he is not one of the Seven Sons as Aynia was disappointed to discover that he was represented one to protect someone who is the true Seven Sons and that guy is Taliesin Gwionbach! Aynia was shocked to discover this as Taliesin is the leader singer of the band, Viz Ring.
