West Journey Tempest--Chapter 1

Hello everyone! This is Katherine Donovan, sorry I have been away and there wasn't Internet because I moved out of my aunt's house and into a new one. And I've been working on a lot of new stories to write. I was inspired by the musical Wicked, based on the books about the Wicked Witch of the West and also one of my childhood animes, Shinzo. And I was inspired by my favorite movie, Sucker Punch. I hope you guys like it! This is a story of innocence lost, hope and also the meaning of 'you only live once' takes on a different spin. Enjoy! --KatDon 

Chapter 1: Flying in the Eye of the Rabbit Hole Storm 

There was a girl name Monica Currie. Monica was only a kid as she had protected her little sister, Stacey, from the terror of their father. But Monica revealed to her sister that the man they thought was their father was actually their stepfather, and their biological father was dead. Monica and Stacey's mother died so the stepfather took it upon himself to abuse both these girls. He physically and emotionally abused his stepdaughters for many years. When someone is being abused or is put into a situation where they are forced to watch someone breakdown, it becomes common place. It still hurts, but know it more than most would. Monica feels she is putting his violent stepfather and what she has been through behind him. She is optimistic about the future. An abused child is often confused as they are brought up in society where parents are the go to for love and acceptance. Monica is searching for comfort in a higher being. Without her father to comfort her she asks Lord in Heaven to bring peace to her stepfather again. He shows his true face, and even though they suffer, they still keeps all the pain inside. One day; Monica's stepfather takes his anger out on primarily on Monica, and Stacey hides from this rage by running away. But then, her stepfather jumps out, slamming her sister to the ground, causing shrieks of pain as she hit the pavement. Her stepfather turns to her, face full of malice. Monica tell him to leave, he pulls out a revolver, she lunges at him, managing to wrestle the gun away on the ground. Monica point it at him, hands shaking as he grabs her sister from the floor, holding a knife to her throat. Monica lets out a sob, promising she will let him go, if he just walks away.  "No deal" he says, making a move to slit the throat. Something happened to the vulnerable Monica. She now has a gun and after she does what she has planned to do with it, will never be the same girl as she was before getting the gun, and doing any criminal actions with it. She pulled the trigger and looked away however she looked finally as she gasps in horror! Stacey was on the floor and Monica saw blood, she was so scared that she begins to cry. Her stepfather yells at her until Monica broke down. Rage filled her, and she dragged herself from the floor. The knife she was looking for was in the kitchen, and plunged the knife in her stepfather's abdomen. She toss the knife in the ocean and ran away! She was discovered by a family as they learn about the stepfather's death and the sister but Monica never told about the murder or the abuse. So she lived with a nice family that was kind to Monica, they gave her all the love they have given her. In the present; 17 year old Rita West was a nice girl from a good life. Maybe not a saint, but definitely not unpleasant, obnoxious or an edgy rebel. She's friendly, psychologically well-balanced, morally average and in short, someone anyone would like to be around and have as a friend. She is seen with other girls and talking: "Hey Rita! Are you going to the concert festival?" One of her friends asked. Rita nodded, "Yeah, I'm trying to." She said. "Sweet, who you going with?" The friend asked. "Tina Jett, her sister Erica, and Sandra Ford." answered Rita. The other two nodded, "Be careful with those girls." One of them said. "Why?" Rita asked. "Because those girls are witches. Especially Sandra and Erica." The other warned. Rita was misunderstood by that warning: "Why do you all say that?" She asked. "Those bastards give me the freakin' goosebumps." remarked the other girl. Her friend agreed, "They're like succubus, I heard they contact with the spirits of Salem witches. So creepy." She said. Rita assured them, "No, I hang out with them. They're good people." She said. "Well, OK. Good luck down there with those crazed-up bitches, girl." The friends said. "We'll be praying good luck sweetie, don't lose your head with those girls. Got it?" The other friend added. Rita nodded, he promise he won't. The next morning, Rita was asleep as her bedroom door opened and about footsteps that belong to six feet. Those six feet belong to three figures looking down at the sleeping Rita. "Good morning, Rita." A girl's voice muttered. Another voice replied: "Wakey, wakaey." And a third girl voice answered, "Rise and shine, Rita." Rita woke up all groggy, "What do y'all want?" He asked. "Come on, Rita, wake up." said Tina. "Wake up." Erica replied, nudging Rita. Rita rose from the bed sheets as she rubbed her eyes, "I'm up. What time is it?" She inquired. "Doesn't matter. We need your money." Sandra said, "Where's the money?" Rita smirked, "For what?" She pretended to ask but looked sly while doing it. "You know what, girl." Sandra said, excitedly. The four girls were rough housing with one another, they were acting childish but it felt good since they haven't seen each other for awhile. Later after the girls horsing around with one another; Sandra was counting the money but there wasn't enough sadly. They wanted money to get to the concert festival but they didn't know how they were going to do. However, they managed to get there with a bit of craziness. For the time being; Monica woke up today with a sense that it would be a day like any other. Her classmates from school invited her to go to some underground band concert tonight. So she went go to the concert and the music is actually pretty rad. Its packed with people everywhere though, and between all the hype and commotion she finds that she lost her friends. She try to call them with her cell, but someone bumps into her while moshing and she drop your phone, causing it to crash and break on the concrete. "CRAP!!!" She screamed, but decided that she'll find her friends eventually, and just try to relax and enjoy the music. Out of the dark, a strong arm wraps around her waist, and she could feel a dampened bandanna covering her nose and mouth. Panic swells in her gut. Monica tried to screamed but it's muffled, and she try to wriggle away from the person but his grip is like steel. "Well aren't you cute?" A warm chuckle in her ear and feel a slight wrench of her hair as he pulls her head back. Her body is slowly slumping compliantly into his arms from the drug. "It's always nice to have a little fun with the pretty ones..." He said. Meanwhile, Sandra look up again and he's staring at her intently. "What--?" Sandra begin, but then he leans in almost too fast to catch, and before she knew it he had her trapped in an embrace. Too dumbstruck to react, Sandra just sit there and let the attractive boy hug her for a second before she suddenly feel a prick in her shoulder. "Ow!" Sandra yell and throw him off of her, jumping up to see some sort of tranquilizer stuck in her arm. Sandra quickly rip it out and throw it. "WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT THE HELL?!" Unfortunately, Sandra stumble over the side, weak in the knees, falling but then she could feel a pair of arms encircle her waist. He pulls her back in. "Lemme go--you creep.." She said, slowly getting blurrier as the drowsiness begins to take over. Her body feels heavy, as does her eyes. Inside she was enraged, but so, so sleepy. The last thing she hear before she fade into rest is the sound of a mysterious boy's soft whisper, "I'm so sorry..." In the meantime, Rita suddenly feel a little pinprick in her arm. The dancers around her become dark figures and the lights blaze as her vision becomes bleary. Her knees give out and she slump forward into his chest, but he catches her easily. "Gotcha!" He laughs, stroking her hair. "What did you do to me?!!" Rita screamed but came out as a slur. The world spins, and all that's left is the sound of his laughter and that Cheshire cat grin. Weeks later; there were the girls kidnapped, as they were sold for ruining their innocence in a place called Mambo Cinco. The girls were given numbers of identification pinned to their dresses. But Monica stood out. She stared at them with a piercing gaze. There still fight left in her eyes. Monica was living in a fantasy world and not reality, where everything is perfect. Innocent as she was before she was kidnapped. She is living in a world in her head that no one else can understand, she’s been so absorbed in her own world that she hasn’t taken the time to notice the world around her. It’s all about her point of view, nobody else compares to Monica and her own fantasy while living in the cruel life. The world wasn’t 'the best'. has become cold and cruel towards the things that she loved when she was younger. Monica felt as if she’s crushing other peoples dreams now. She was told once that don't live dreaming awake. Someone told her once: "If you’re heads in the clouds you need to be grounded and know where reality lies." These corrupt people want to destroy this fantasy world she has built around herself for love. She wants him to be exposed to the real her, not the fantasy version of herself. She wants to forget her old life. This excessive form of daydreaming might be from trauma or abuse. Forced into the red light business; Monica pretends to have no shame in her game. She lies to herself and others about her promiscuity and prostitution because she is living a luxurious lifestyle. She's a smooth talker. When this is combined with her stunning appearance she is often fairly persuasive. She seduces people extremely easily because of this. However, this charming exterior is simply a front for her sad inner self. In order to avoid being vulnerable, Monica feels like she has to be this way. She’s just putting on a brave face. Despite the fact that Monica has an extremely lavish and lively lifestyle she insists she is not a role model. Monica doesn’t want to wish her fate on anybody else. The life she has taken in her life has led to her being isolated and empty inside. The people who don’t really know Monica are fooled by her outward demeanor. Monica has managed to make everybody fall in love with her looks, yet nobody knows what Monica is really like. In the world while struggling in slavery and abuse that is new life; Rita numbs the pain with drugs. These drugs can act as a stimulant or a depressant, making her feel either much better or much worse. They can also distort her perceptions of size and shape. Her parents used to put her on as free love lifestyle was in full swing. Of course, these pills don’t do anything mind-altering either. 

If she was looking for confirmation that illegal drugs work better, so she can expand her mind more, provide more intense sensations, than the ones that her mother gives her, she would go ask someone who’s gotten high on them. She would be toked on opium. Rita plunge into a trippy world on hallucinogens as she never knew what was real or not. Rita would be having a bad trip, when going high was going bad, giving her horrible hallucinations or physically sickening experiences. It's when she wants more of when buying or joining a party. Rita was also high, and getting depressed as well as lethargic because of the drugs she'd ingested. When everything seems to be tumbling down on her, Rita would take stimulating drugs, and she then becomes happy with her place in the world. Dreams and psychedelics make for sloppy logic, and throw the proportions of the world out of whack. Rita would take more narcotics in order to feel better and expand her mind and consciousness in general. And then, there was Sandra and her point of view: She has been hoping and wishing for better and brighter days to come. She has seen and experienced things no one should ever have seen. There are things she wishes to say to people, but she can’t. She wants to know why people live in a society that doesn’t let us speak these things. She is praying to The Giver Above, telling him to keep her safe in his strong arms, whose almighty arms cover us all and tower over us like towers. The visions and hope that the voice gave them the choice to escape the bad stuff bringing them down, and allow others to do the same. Sandra will prove that things can get better and that it wasn’t fake, this is how people live. Like they are constantly at war. It’s a tough battle. Spiritually speaking, she and these other girls are oppressed. What they would have to do to get back their childhood and life before all of this. Children are promised that they will grow up to marry someone special, particularly girls who are the most common victims of slavery and abuse. Sandra feels that the way they live is barely life at all. They want to go back before it all went wrong. They just want to be a single unit again. They want to be together. What ever it takes to get the truth no matter what it costs her. "All of the day dreams, the fantasies you have don’t count for anything… but the real things you have, the friendships, the real accomplishments- that’s what matters." She told herself. Meanwhile; Tina and her sister, Erica worked together in the world of business. It wasn't something that they were used to doing. In wealthy area in the city where their clients pay for her meals by claiming them as business expenses. Somebody who performs illegal things that are not with the law as the world seemed mad with the life of a harlot. Girls like Erica and Tina would rather have an intimate time with a lecherous old man than somebody her own tender age. In this instance she divert her attention from the old to the homeless. To give something for a song means to give it away for a very low price. So these two offer their services for next to nothing. They walk the streets, turning tricks for money in cars, alleys, motels, They have to earn money they need to survive, as well as to likely hand over to their street hustler. While people see them as a bunch of harlots, they never look deep enough to see the real person inside. There are deep problems and sorrow that individuals are dealing with by not knowing the whole story, and cannot see the whole picture. This person’s life is simply unhappiness, and stressful situations, and not much else. Street hustlers, Johns, the way the money controls Erica and Tina, and won’t let them both walk away, and the idea that no one cares, no one loves them, and that they have no reason to leave the rat-race, and therefore continues on with a life they would rather not be living. There is a certain type of payment and they're kind of cheap. Most likely they would chose this cliche location because it’s cheap, out of the way, and any nosy neighbors will be too entangled in their own unsavory acts to point fingers. This place is so seedy and repugnant that any self-respecting person would steer clear, which is convenient for the more unsavory characters of the night. The place is so unholy that anyone who practices the religion would wish to cross themselves against the evil within the building. The sign is used to ward off impurity or in response to extreme blasphemy, which is appropriate, since this place is full of both. The place is old and broken down, perfect for women of promiscuous nature. It's like a naturally-occurring, heat-resistant material that is harmful for girls like these when they deal with the life of prostitution. While the woman is described as a chaste maiden initially, her innocence comes into question later, as it becomes clear that payment for her services is a position at the lawyer’s firm. The fact that the girl is wearing hers before such a vile act as fortification paints her as innocent, but this isn’t really the case. Erica and Tina were living in difficult lives: Families under financial stress because of a father’s addiction, and new clothes were made by mothers. Their fathers had a gambling addiction, they once believe that a person addicted to gambling doesn’t need a family or friends, they just need to move around and keep getting their fix. Drunks are only happy and comfortable when they have their fix of alcohol! Their father is trying to leave and find a better life, but cannot bring himself to do it. He just hang around, as if jailed in the city. She remembered her mother telling her: "Don’t follow his example, just don't honey. To not to do what he did, and get stuck in the house of sin and misery. He was sucked into the evil, and it destroyed him." Then, something happened that made the girls break out: An asylum orderly and a brothel owner name Louis, who became infatuated with Monica. He wrote her something that disturbed Monica very much: "I want you in my life, by my side, for you are all I need. And what I see when you walk into the room and how you shine in the sun." During the time of these girls frolicking around of the asylum/brothel; Louis attacks Monica after seeing her with another man. Monica unsuccessfully tries to bring him back after he attempts to pushes her onto the wall and aims his fist at her, puncturing the wall instead. Louis then apologizes to Monica and everything was fine. The next day, Louis attacks someone who was with Monica. In the bathroom; Monica locks herself in the bathroom to stop Louis from entering. One day, Louis discovers the girls wanted to leave Mambo Cinco so to prevent that he charges at Erica and murders her in front of Monica! While killing Erica, he became overjoyed seeing her blood all over as the others scream in fright. And she laid there, dying. Then, Louis stabbed Rita in the head, and he turned to Sandra and ripped her heart out in order to show that she is his, the reason for him doing it in front of her was to make sure she knew that this was it. Monica and Tina begin to cry over their bodies but their mentor, Madame Quincy, told them not to weep for them: "I have an idea, I can bring them back to life." She said. In the nurse's office, Madame Quincy reached for the syringe, she stuck the needle into the bottle and pull back the plunger. She had about more than 30 milligrams. It was too much, but this was the only way. She injected the syringe into Erica first, cleans the needle, and injects it into Rita. She repeats the same ritual before moving onto Sandra. Then, Madame Quincy waited with Monica and Tina. Then, they could hear the girls are awakening from the dead and now they are seeking revenge. Taking upon her vengeance, Erica kills him in the same way that he killed her. After her vengeance upon Louis, he realizes that what he did was wrong. He tells her how sorry he is for what he had done. He understands that what he did was cruel because even though he was enjoying his life, she was in an abyss of nothingness. After coming back to life, Erica is enjoying taking her revenge against him. He feels guilty that he made her suffer through hell on earth. However, it's too late as she, Rita, and Sandra butcher him! Later, Madame Quincy and the five girls escape the asylum but they got the other girls out and blew them the brothel as Madame Quincy took the five girls with her to see a friend of hers. Months later in the summer; the pool was vast and a clear blue, the sun shines down with light making it all sparkling like magic. Standing before it was a young woman with light brown hair long enough to reach her shoulders. Her bangs were parted away, letting a little bit of her forehead exposed, making them look like a curtain. Her eyes were light blue, her skin was so fair in the sunlight. She wore a one-piece bathing suit, it was blue mixed with orange, yellow, and green like a sunset on an island. This girl was Una Norman, she's around the ages of 16 to 17 years old and was innocent, naive, beautiful, and a sweet young lady. Her bosom size could be either a B or a C however she is unaware about that, she's oblivious to her beauty and how virtuous she looks. With goggles on her head, Una dipped her foot in the pool's staircase and put the other in. She shivered a bit but she cautiously took another step of the stairs in the pool and gulped; holding back a scream. Another step as she could see her knees are under the water and finally, she did a mid-jump into the water. She let out a gasping yelp while she couldn't believe how undeniably cold it was! "How's the water, sweetheart?" Her mother, Ileana, called out. "It's freezing!" Una answered. She placed on the goggles and begin to swim underwater, looking up as the sun-rays was shining down on her like she was a mermaid under the ocean floor. She swam a little bit more, before coming up to the surface for air. There was a portable music player, on a device of portable speakers boom box that played music of a playlist for the swimming pool. Una listened to a song that talks about a rarest relationship where both individuals have same interests and how they are genuinely intrigued by what each has to say. Anytime she listens to this song, Una has this image in her head of her locking eyes with an unknown boy and slowly leaned over and kissed him but soon she snapped out of her reverie when the song ended. She did not understand why was she having that illusion and swam more as other songs played. That's when a song plays, which was about coming of age and loss of innoncence while having regrets. For Una, she came from a good family. Her mother Ileana and her father Lear always loved her very much. However, Una was an only child but she was a good girl and comes off as perfect; even though she isn't. She was a chastizing young lady who never interacted with boys but she hasn't found anyone interested to her. Though Una is happy to be herself but people always persuaded her to go to house parties and get wasted. But Una was not like most people, which makes her different from the rest and likes herself the way she is. She also loves to go swimming but her mother was concerned about the stormy weather around where they lived. She also heard that a hurricane is coming here possibly. After swimming for hours; it was time to get out and Una looked at the pool with a faint smile, strangely bidding it a farewell. While changing in the bathroom; Una couldn't help but noticed in the mirror on how much of a woman she's growing up to be but fails to see the beauty but only sees a girl with a thin body and proper amples that weren't too big or two small. She then changed into cozy clothes of pants and a T-shirt. She doesn't dress in tank tops, shorts, or skirts....Unless she's out somewhere. When it all comes down to it, she struggles of being different and wanting people to love her just as she is. It was her first day of summer and she was happy to get away from those people at school--Una deals with pressure from peers and she couldn't understand why life was so confusing. There's many stories about the unknown, questions of why are people and what comes next in their chapter of their lives. What is their connections and purposes. But Una likes how she can see rainbows after a storm, rainbows are so beautiful though they don't endure struggles and conflict people go through. Some folks might look at a rainbow as a vision of color--How it represents a symbol of faith or hope. Over in their place, there's one thing for sure: In this world they all lived in; everybody was a child once. Sometimes people don't think like a grown up nor they don't act like a child but are in that spot of fine, yet clean and unspoiled in the world that makes them all forget! However, it's faith and superstition that is man-made but it is being an illusion nevertheless it can affect people in a magical way almost. The same way that hope is something that can only exist if believed and it can elevate people to do great things as it's true magic! Everyone wants to believe in things greater than itself, others ponders over implications as the sky above has been the center of myths and beliefs that involved in star-wishing, horoscopes, and stories about constellations. There's a connection Una has between reality and dreams, she wished that the two to match up even if it seems unlikely that they can. And she hasn't found that connection of actuality in her situation and the hope behind her aspirations, even remaining optimistic as one day that dreams and reality will become the same in one world. Una is a dreamer, not a lover and she's something else! She wants adventure while escaping from those that brought pressure upon her for not being like the other girls. Where she's not judged and one day, she'll find people who will be kind to her. She will be loved for who she is just as she loves herself for being her. Una's parents knew their daughter wasn't happy with school in the last two years and the previous two was OK--It changed when she move to higher grades. She heard about a land which was in the west and longs to go there one day if she can. In the meantime; loud noises of a storm with thunder and lightning. The captain showed up and called out, "CONNER!!!" On cue, a young teen boy and his dog--a wolf looking puppy--approached. The boy was Conner Sullivan. Conner has blue eyes and spiky, silver hair with lightness to it, he wore a short sleeved buttoned black shirt as a white tank was seen underneath and his pants were light grey with shoes that matched the color of his shirt. He had some sort of weapon tucked from behind. Conner saluted his captain, "Yes sir!" He said over the stormy weather of the sea. "What do you need, Captain?" The captain nodded with a smile, "Good, you're here my boy." He said. Then, he gestured over to the crew, "Give them a pep talk and make it fast or we'll crashed. Go! Now!" He instructed. Then, the captain hurried away. Conner went over and gave the instructions to the other sailors. Moments later; Conner and the sailors were hard at work. "That's it, guys! Come on, take in the upper sail! Take the storm by the reins!" Conner called out to them, they were getting wet and drenched with water spraying everywhere from the storm. Other mates came out, "Conner! Where in the hell is the captain? Why is he making these men work?" One of them called out. "You there, stay below deck! Get away from here!" Conner commanded. The mates didn't pay no heed, "WHERE. IS. THE CAPTAIN?" The mate shouted. "He's busy right now! You guys need to listen when he gives out orders, get back to the cabins! You're not helping us, right now." Conner shouted. The other mates heed the words and left but things went downhill from here, no matter how hard they try--They were gonna crash! "IT'S NO USE MEN!" One of the sailors screamed, "WE'RE DONE FOR, PRAY FOR YOUR LIVES--WE'RE GOING DOWN!" Everything was a blur, the ship crashed and the next thing happened was Conner woke up with incisions however he was alive.

His puppy, Sirius, survived too but the rest of the crew are dead. Conner was emotionally distraught, so he gave them a proper funeral for the mates and the captain. With Sirius in his arms; he said: "Well....Looks like it's just you and me, boy." Sirius wagged his tail, he barked and whimpered a little and Conner grimaced of the pain while he walked away. In the meantime, Una woke up and decided to take a walk to a hill. While on her walk; she comes across a boy, Conner, and his dog Sirius where they were lying on the grass and looking up at the blue sky. But Conner said, "There's a storm coming, it's going to sweep things in its path." Una looked up and saw that the beautiful sky's yonder blue was now a dark purple. When Una turned back to the boy, she saw that he was already gone! So she decides to head back. As she walked back; Una looked up and saw that the hurricane while she was determined to get home soon. She regrets on going on this walk, it was a bad idea and she wish she stayed home. She wished that it passed or wash away like rain. But it was getting closer and nothing could stop it. She hopes she won't blow away as she saw in horror of every debris, every part crumbling and it was blowing harder and harder. Una managed to dodge every flying object and nearly went flying, it was so strong but she made it back home safe. However, she was horrified to discover that her house has been capsized and she managed to get in the house where she found that her parents were nowhere in sight. Una begin to panic a little bit, she cried; fearing that her parents could be dead. The next minute afterwards, Poor Una was sitting near the mailbox, thinking about if her parents possibly got caught in the storm and possibly died but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. Then, she felt a shadow upon her and saw Conner with his dog, Sirius. "What are you doing here?" Una asked. "I came to help you, I also want to tell you that your family is safe." replied Conner. Una's gasp got caught in her throat, "You do? Where are they?" She asked. "The Good Sorceress Sianna knows and she might be able to help us." explained Conner. Here this was to be another day, an ordinary day until this boy came along as he will inspire her to look for majestic beauty that others wouldn't see and find them mundane. Conner stretch his hand out, "Come with me." He said. "Where are we going?" asked Una. Conner smiled, "To the West...Murias." Una was hesitant at first but she knew that this boy would help her. Maybe help her to be in control of her own destiny. She took Conner's hand, and they were off. But first before they had to go West, they stopped by Conner's apartment where they meet two of his roommates, Aiden Easton and Fiachra Vester. Aiden was a nice guy, pretty much average looking person...Nothing magical about him. And Fiachra was a gentleman however he had a bit of cowardness in him. Una was shy at first however she bonded fast with these guys as they stayed up late because of no power, they played spin the bottle and laugh and joking around while drinking root beer. Una hardly spoke for she felt excited and glanced at Conner, admiring how beautiful and confidence he was but he probably wasn't so down-to-earth. Summer was all in full bloom, where Una found a place of belonging with friends that care about her. And don't judge of what she is not. The next day, when the storm was over; Una and her new friends stumble upon a village called Alfheimer where the friendliest creatures of dwarves, fairies, elves, gnomes, pixies, leprechauns, and mermaids. Then, the Good Sorceress name Sianna appeared! Sianna has blonde hair so wavy with curls, she wore a tiara on her head, but her dress was something else. Her dress was pink, pearlized with petals covering the skirt as the bodice and skirt are decorated with sequins, it was off the shoulder with a heart shaped outline to the top. The gown looked like it was made of bubbles, like somebody took them out of bathwater and sewn them together so they won't pop. Sianna gives Una a pair of magic shoes called Talaria to give her guidance. That's when Una remembered what Conner said as she asked Sianna about the whereabouts of her parents. Sianna assured her that they were safe however they are hidden in a shelter because of all the monsters, the ones called manananggals. As if on cue, they appeared as they terrify the residents into hiding as Una, Conner, Aiden, and Fiachra were horrified to see them. Sirius barked at the creatures, which they look hideous with their horned wings, claws, and fangs so sharp. They snarled and Una shivered a little. The beasts demanded the magic shoes Talaria, however Sianna spoke out: "It's too late, they are here and they will stay." She gestured that the shoes were now on Una's feet. Una was shocked, Conner put an arm around her and pulled her close in a protective way while glaring at the monsters, who demanded for the Talaria shoes. But Sianna laughs, "You have no power over here you beasts, now be gone or I'll plunged a wooden stake in your hearts." She sneered at them. The manananggals winced so they decide to accept defeat for now but cursed Una by the fact that many enemies will come for her. Some would kidnap her and held her in prison while others would try to kill her, or use her for lustful desires so she must keep her head down, watch her back and stand her ground: "We''ll get you, sweet blood--AND YOUR MEDDLING FRIENDS TOO!" They growled, they laughed and disappeared into smoke. Once they were gone; Una and her friends were told to go to the West where the wizard Maugris resides! So; Una, Conner, Aiden, Fiachra, and Sirius headed to the west! While getting to their destination; Una ran over and noticed that she saw a woman, who offered her hand and she took her hand, and before she knew it, Una was flying. The woman, still holding her hand, began flying away from the window, and so did Mia did. It was then that she finally spoke. “Where are we going?” The woman smiled, “You'll see.” She said. Then, the woman revealed to be a siren and tries to get Una to become one but she refused and Conner came to the rescue as he fought the siren until there was nothing left of her. Una went away! It was over. That's when someone came from behind and bound her wrists, "Get off me!" She exclaimed. Then, a tissue covered her mouth and she passed out. As she woke up; She and her friends were tied up and couldn't escape at all. No escape. While kidnapped; Una, Conner, Aiden and Fiachra were trying to think of plan but Una begin to think rationally and her adrenaline will be pumping, her heart will be pounding, and she will be terrified. She had to calm down. The sooner she can regain your composure the better off you will be immediately and in the long run. Right from the start, she should try to observe and remember as much as possible in order to help her plan an escape, predict abductor's next moves, or give information to the police to aid in a rescue or to help apprehend and convict the kidnapper. At the same time, she had to be positive. Most kidnapping victims survive--the odds are with her. That said, she should prepare herself for a long captivity. Some hostages have been held for years, but they kept a positive attitude, played their cards right, and were eventually freed. Take it one day at a time. One of the captors looked over her, Una looked back with no glare at her. It is generally psychologically harder for a person to kill or otherwise harm a captive if the captive remains 'human' in the captor's eyes. She did not grovel, beg, or become hysterical. She tried even not to cry. She will not challenge her abductor, but show him that him are worthy of respect. The guy untied her, then he asked her: "So, who are you little missy?" She swallowed and said, "I am here to bring the world peace. I do not wish for violence, please let me in..." But she stops when one of the captors jump at her, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." He recited, a verse from the Scriptures. Then; Una could feel his hands on her bare skin, she felt cold anger and kicked him in between his legs. The guy groans in pain, loosen his grip, and Una tried to run however the guy wraps himself around her and bangs her hard against a wall as he forcefully kissed her. In the kiss; Una bite his lip hard. The man yelled, he was furious and grabbed Una's neck, choking her. She was about to die without air in her throat, when Conner down on the captor cry out in pain. He fell backwards, he was critically injured as he fell unconscious. Una was shocked, she begin to weep sorrowfully. "Conner...." She gasped. "Oh...." She wept and wept until there was nothing left. Conner wrapped his arms around her in an embrace, he must protect her. After days of traveling; Una, Conner, Sirius, Aiden, and Fiachra finally arrived in the west! "I can't believe it, we made it!" Una breathed. "So this is the west." replied Aiden. "It's so huge!" Conner said. "And it's all green." Fiachra added. Sirius barked in agreement. Una was so thrilled, "I've always wanted to come here." She said. It was going to be one, short day in Uto of Murias. There was so much to do and to think Una & her friends could see the exquisite as they will stop by and see before the day is over. In Uto; there was buildings tall as trees, wondrous things that Una and the gang has ever seen! Places are looked at such as salons, libraries, museums, and skyscrapers were a hundred or more times taller, stronger. Una believed she found the place she belongs, perhaps she wants to be here for good when she comes back someday too. She'll make her own decision however today she and her friends are going to enjoy this special day. People were talking about how powerful and wonderful the wizard Maugris was. But they also talked about the evil sorceress Lorelai. They fear for Lorelai as they pray to save them from the claws of Lorelai and manananggals. Just then, Sianna appeared as she said: "Fellow citizens of the West; as terrifying as this may be, let us put this aside and celebrate. For this one day, of course! What a celebration we'll have today, let us have a celebration and finally away from the wicked because we couldn't be happier. Right here, look at what we got. A fairy tale plot and a happy ending is coming soon." She seemed strangely bubbly! Una, Conner, Aiden, and Fiachra were confused by this. Sirius whimpered in Conner's arms however Conner pet his puppy as a way to comfort them. There was talks of Lorelia: Some say she comes by and lets the citizens she's arrived by letting out a screech as she comes out from hiding. Others say she has extra eyes that are always kept awake, her skin could shed so easily like a snake, and her skin is so unclean. Finally away from the gossiping townspeople; The gang found Maugris's palace and Una knocks on it. Then, the cranky gatekeeper peered over from his watchtower and called out, "What do you want?!" Una and the others were taken aback by the gatekeeper however Una spoke up, "We, um, we came to see the Great Wizard Maugris--Have you seen him?" The gatekeeper snorted, "Have I seen him? Hell, I've been here all day so NO!!!!! I haven't seen the great and powerful Maugris of Murias!!!! GO AWAY!!!" Una was hurt, Conner hated seeing his friend so upset and he turned to the gatekeeper with a glare: "Listen pal, you didn't have to shout at her! Apologize to her!" He exclaimed. The gatekeeper shouted back, "Boy, don't you yell at me! Y'all want to get in, you gotta have an appointment!" Aiden called over to him, "She has the shoes of Talaria!" The gatekeeper glanced at him twice, "What'cha say?" He said loudly. "My good man, this young lady has the shoes of Talaria. They were given to her by the Good Sorceress of the West name Sianna." Fiachra exclaimed. The gatekeeper climbed down from the ladder of his tower and took a look at the shoes on Una's feet. All of a sudden; the gatekeeper's crankiness evaporated and changed to a new mood. He smiled nervously, "Well! Ain't that a horse of a different color!" He rushed back to the tower and opened the gate as he said, "Come in! Come, come, come!" Una and the gang were happy to hear this so they went in. They entered the palace where they meet a man in robes and older with a white beard. "Who are you to meet the Great and Powerful Maugris?" He said. Una, Conner, Aiden, and Fiachra introduced themselves. Then, Una spoke of her situation so Maugris provided them with information to defeat Alcina. Maugris told them that they must use the holy water, it is the one way to get rid of her for good. Una asked, "Where do we get holy water from?" Maugris smiled, "Why don't you ask Sianna? She knows more about Lorelai than I do." He said. Una and the gang were surprised to hear this so they were on their way. They looked around, looking for when Una called out: "Sianna! Where are you?" Immediately, Sianna appears. "I am here, is there something you need?" Una and her friends glanced at one another, they weren't sure how to approach this subject however Conner was the first to talk, "Sianna...Is it true that you know more about Lorelai than anyone else?" Sianna was quiet for a moment before responding, "Well, it depends on what you mean by that. True, I did know her. I mean, our paths did cross. At the university...." She paused for a moment and spoke up once more but said something ominous. "Before I tell you, I want to say this...Are people just born evil or do they have evil thrust upon them? After all, like so many people, she had a mother and father. And like every family, they have their secrets...Of course, from the moment she was born, she was different from anything else." She explained. "So, you know her." Conner said. That wasn't a question. Sianna nodded sad, "Yes. She and I used to be friends." She admitted. She told the story of how she and Lorelai were forced together as roommates, where they flat-out hate each other until one day, at a party; it changed when Sianna saw Lorelai was alone and came to talk to her, thus they became friends. However, three tragic things happened to poor Lorelai: First was her sister, who was killed in a hurricane. The same hurricane that Una got herself into! Second, Lorelai's favorite teacher was found dead as his throat was torn opened. Third and last was Lorelai's crush turned lover name Asmund was tortured to death. Lorelai tried to save him but failed, that was when the darkness enveloped her and she became Queen of the Manananggals. Sianna told the gang that the only way to defeat Lorelai is by purifying her with holy water, she gives Una a vial of holy water. Una and her friends were sent on her way until the manananggals came as they kidnapped Conner, Aiden, and Fiachra as they flew off while Una and Sirius followed them as they try to sneak in. But they are also kidnapped while brought before the evil sorceress Lorelai. Lorelai was dressed in a long black dress that hid her feet, her hair was frizzy and messy while she was a sight not to look at. Lorelai demands the Talaria shoes but Una begs her to release her friends but Lorelai tortures her mentally that her friends are in the dungeon where they are in deadly fights against brain craving zombies, heart eating beasts, and fear mongering monsters! Una fell to her knees, horrified by the thought as Lorelai laughs at her despair. "Oh mother, I'm frightened..." Una whispered, "I'm frightened mama." Her hand reached to her shorts where she felt the vial and remembered the holy water. Sirius bit Lorelai, distracting her as Una sprayed the witch with the holy water! Lorelai screeched in pain, "You cursed wretch, look what you done!" She shouted. She looked disoriented as she cried out and yelled in agony. Una was horrified however she and Sirius went to free Conner and the other two from their prison. The three of them were unharmed, perhaps scratches here and there but they were OK! However, they were confronted by Lorelai. But it didn't look like her: Instead, it was a young woman with long black hair and fair skin but she wore a green dress as she held the black one. She saw Una and pointed at her, "It's you! You sprayed me with the holy water!" She said. Una cowers in fear, "No, wait! I didn't mean it!" She try to explain however Lorelai embraced her and said in a tearful voice, "Thank you. You saved me." Una and the others were confused as Lorelai was in pain for what she done and couldn't bring herself to go out there because of the terrible things so she instructed Una and the gang to take her black dress and tell the people that they've killed Lorelai. She also gives Una a letter that is for Sianna that says, 'To Sina, from Lory.' Lory was Lorelai's nickname from Sianna. Una couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going to go?" Lorelai smiled, "Don't worry about me. The next time we meet, I'll be in a place better than what I've created." Una, Conner, Aiden, Fiachra, and Sirius escaped after Lorelai set the castle on fire. They looked around as they didn't see Lorelai anywhere but they knew she escaped. After returning to the West; Una and her friends were honored as friends but the four of them were pained to hear the townspeople cheer, "HURRAY! LORELAI IS DEAD AND GONE, THERE'S JOY OUT THE LAND!!!! FOR NO ONE CRIES, MOURNS OR LAYS A FLOWER ON THEIR GRAVE FOR THEM TO RETURN!!!!" In the meantime, Sianna read a letter from Lorelai which was given to her by Una. The letter said: "Dear Sina, Remember those days at the university and how you became my first friend because I was by myself at the party. Well, you've changed so much since we've crossed paths. I feel like that was one of the best days of my life. I can’t make a big impact because of my reputation but you're popular and people will listen to you. I heard this once, some people come into our lives to make an impact, whether it’s good or bad. I don't know if it's true or not but I know who I am since I knew you. I like to express how you have impacted on my life. Because we knew each other, we had been inspired and influenced in a good way. We are going their separate ways so I want to add that you have taught me so much and it will stay with me forever. I will still remember and always hold onto you dearly in special places of my heart. Just to clear the air, I asked for forgiveness for the terrible things I've done you blame me for but I believe there's blame to share from both of us. And none of that seems to matter anymore, who can say that I've been changed for good because of you. I'll always remember you in my memory, like a handprint on my heart. You've rewritten my story by being my friend. Thank you, From your friend, Lorelai 'Lory'." Sianna felt tears in her eyes as she will never forget her friend, she turned to the citizens to announce that the end of Lorelai's reign has done. Back at Maugris's palace; Conner was given the stone of Wisdom, Aiden was given the stone of the Heart, and Fiachra was given the stone of Courage. As promised, Una reunited with her family as Sianna spoke to Una's parents Ileana and Lear about the schools in the West. Una made plans to see her friends as she felt like she was home! The wave is pushing them along. Una and her friends will always be there for one another, because they should never feel alone because they have each other's back. Una knew everything would be OK. Since the festival of the end of Lorelai's reign; things had been OK however there was something else at hand: Wunderground Factory is an utopian world full of candy galore that is run by Claude Vulcan where he is a top hat whimiscal man but he is looking for someone who can pass the test and be the new aquantince for his factory. However, Claude only invites five people for his factory! He placed five Golden Rabbits in his candy, whoever finds it will come to the tour of his factory. Only four people found it: Daphne Primrose, Roger Carlos, Eden Arnett and Helias Worth. Daphne is the Pride, Roger is the Gluttony, Eden is the Greed, and Helias is the Wrath. Una is unsure about finding a Golden Rabbit however Conner and the gang have faith in her, when one day Conner gives Una money to buy a chocolate as she gets four bars however she learns she has a free candy and opens it where she is surprised to discover the last of the Golden Rabbit! After paying for the candy; Una returns to her friends to show them she has the Golden Rabbit. Conner, Sirius, Aiden, and Fiachra are shocked by this discovery and are excited that they decide to go to the factory tomorrow! The next day, Una and her friends arrived at the entrance of the factory. There, they meet the obnoxious Daphne, the obese and always hungry Roger, the spoiled yet wealthy Eden, and the angry but bratty Helias. Daphne is irritating of bragging about her accomplishments as she taunts Una and her friends of not being compared to her because she is 'the best'. Roger loves to eat, he sniffs Una and believes she has the scent of food. Creeped out; Una backs away from Roger but she is ticked when Eden is whining to her parents and Helias is a temperamental young man. That's when a man in a top hat with a price tag on his hatband and a colorful suit, who turns out to be the infamous Claude Vulcan. Claude is a child-like for a grown man however he was friendly and was skeptical of other four people but he seemed to find a fondness in Una and her friends. While there in the factory; Claude recognizes Una, Conner, Aiden, Fiachra, and Sirius as the heroes of defeating the evil sorceress name Lorelai. Una discovers that this candy was different from anything ordinary! The ice cream & plums caused Una to shrink. The candy canes, molasses, licorice, and gumdrops caused Una to grow large however lollipops can maintain her natural size. The combination of the magic shoes and the strange candies is the magic insanity! Daphne then bugs Una of it: "You defeated Lorelai? I would've defeated her easily with my wits than a stupid vial of holy water." She was saying. Conner doesn't like them so much, especially Helias as he has a troubled behavior. That's when they came across a red river where stupid Roger thought the creek was chocolate so he reaches over but he slips as he falls into the river and it turns out the river is not chocolate but blood. There, he is encountering the twins by the name of Jean and Hannah, who laughs at his misery as they sing: "Blood is messy and sweet, may you be bathed in it with your gluttonous soul." He try to swim in it however he drowns into the river of blood, horrifying his parents and the other visitors but not Claude who smiles sadistically. The second thing that happens is they go onto the boat ride however this turns out to be a nightmare when there is a slaughter among rabbits: A graphic image of one rabbit almost choking to death, blood coming out of the mouths of the bunnies, a dog grabbing the rabbit and killing it in its maw as it is now bleeding to death, and a crammed rabbit warren where all the rabbits try to get out but some of them are dead by the poison of the gas however their eyes are red. Claude begins to sing a requeim: "Coming down the rabbit hole with me? Will you survive my little bunny? The fields are covered in blood, dangers are ahead and it gets worse....Oh yes, it gets worse. Can you hear it? Hissing, the warren filled with dead bodies, they can't get out? NO, THEY CAN'T GET OUT, EVERYTHING'S TURNING MAD! MAD WITH BLOOD AND VIOLENCE....FOR THE BUNNIES!!!" The ride ends offf where Claude leads them to a clouded room however Daphne skips ahead and opens the doors however she enloped in the darkness. She tried to escape however she is consumed in and is never seen again! That's when Claude's companions name Lepus Kyward and Dowan appeared as they sing a creepy tune, "Darkness has consumed you in and now you are gone so you may never return." Moving onto the next destination; there was a room full of frogs, locusts, gnats and flies! As greedy as she was; Eden wanted them all! Her father refuses as well as Claude so Eden was stubborn and she wanted to gather them all. But she didn't know that these creatures were lethal. The frogs were poisonous, the locusts were blood suckers, the gnats were causing paralyzing, and flies were flesh eaters! They begin clawing and biting into the skin of Eden, who screamed for dear life however she heard an eerie lullaby: "Hop away, fly way, and hope you never return!" Una was frightened by this so Conner shields her away from the terror. Helias notices Una is scared as he tries to scare her and using death threats towards her. His parents do nothing about it as they assure Una that he was just kidding. But Una doesn't find this funny, neither does Conner and the gang. It all changes when Helias chases Una into the room where Helias is hit hard from the hail from above! It pounds on him and it doesn't stopped as Una is spared as she escapes. Helias heard a song sang to him about his demise: "Threats of death, you will pay for your sins so how could you do such a thing? Now you are hit hard! You evil man!" The only one remains is Una where she is the winner. But Una doesn't trust Claude for what he did to the other contestants however to everyone's surprise; the four bad ones made it out as they are renewed from what they once were: Daphne is humble, Roger is thinner and no longer gluttonous, Eden is not so greedy, and the rage from Helias no longer exists! It turns out that Claude used the exorcism of seven from the Ten Plagues to purified the four deadly demons, which were from the Seven Deadly Sins, possessing these children into the meanest, evil and hell-bent but thanks to these holy purifications--they are free and are redeemed as they will lived their lives at peace. His assistants which were the twins, Jean and Hannah, as well as Lepus Kyward and Dowan helped with the purification. Finally understanding; Una begins to show kindness to Claude! However, there was still something that Una must do and that was to face Gwendolen Richards and her clan known as The Roller Heads. Gwendolen is known for decapitating and causing everyone there to disembodied their head while they are still alive! It was a fate worse than death, but only her beloved husband name Orson is the only one who remains his head as Gwendolen cares too much for him. To get to her, Una and her friends must help Rosalie Scarlet and her woodchucker husband, Jonah. The second thing was to rescue Snowdrop Frost and the multiple disasters upon her as her own lover and besotted one name Hal. Una, Conner, Aiden, Fiachra, and Sirius were on their way to find Rosalie and Snowdrop. That's when they discovered a strange sight of a crescent moon in the trees but it wasn't the moon, it was a strange trickster of illusions by the name of Tybalt Moonstone!

There was only one thing to know and that was Snowdrop and Rosalie are sisters! But Rosalie escaped from the horrors of abuse from her stepmother but was guilty for leaving her sister behind. Rosalie Scarlet lived far from the woods with her husband, Jonah. One day, Rosalie received word that her grandmother was sick and probably dying so she managed to pack her basket of medicine and headed over there. Along the way, a stranger came across her after Rosalie accidentally tripped as she almost knocked over the basket. The stranger helps her out as he asked her where she was gone. Touched by the stranger's kindness; she said she was going to her dying grandmother and bid the stranger farewell. She managed to get to her grandmother's place but she noticed something was wrong, the door was slightly ajared so she opened it and went inside; calling out her grandmother. But as she went further into the house, she made a horrible discovery: Her grandmother was dead, her body was mutilated. She felt someone was in the house as she slowly turned around as she saw that a man was feasting on something and she recognized him as the stranger from earlier! He turned out to be a cannibal as he plans on killing Rosalie, he tried to attack her but Rosalie dodges him and escapes. She left the house and hurried back home. She managed to find her husband and told him in hysterics of what happened. Jonah managed to calm her down, comforting the tearful Rosalie in his arms until there was a knock on the door....It was the stranger. Jonah didn't open the door so he managed to get his ax and told Rosalie to open it as he would hide behind the door so that's what Rosalie. Just before the cannibalistic man could kill her, the door slammed and Jonah appeared as he murdered the man with his ax! They burn the body and lived a good life together but they are still around as Rosalie is now pregnant. On the other side of the coin; Snowdrop Frost was fairest of them all! Kind, beautiful, and has wisdom while also selflessness. But her stepmother name Morena was cold hearted and vain as she cared about looks and beauty however when she saw Snowdrop is more beautiful, she had this paranoid accusation that Snowdrop is a witch who cast a spell on her so she decides to teach Snowdrop a lesson by attempting to kill her with a bullet. Snowdrop survives but the bullet had to be removed from her wound and Morena helped her so Snowdrop was healed from the pain. Morena was angry by this while she try to lock Snowdrop away and refuse to give her food or let her out however a young huntsman saw how miserable and thin she was so he helped her escape and replaced her body with a lifesize doll and to trick Morena into thinking that her daughter died of starvation. Free from her stepmother's abuse; Snowdrop was wandering in the streets as she was cold and alone until she was discovered by a family of seven called The Septembres: Elisa, Aram, Gerda, Kai, Rudy, Babette, and Udea. Elisa was the no nonsense mother but she was a kind woman with an open mind, Aram was insomniatic, Gerda was shy, Babette was a bubbly girl, Kai was grumpy, Rudy has some sort of special needs, and Udea has allergy problems. Snowdrop liked how cultured and different they were, she felt a little sad because it made her think of her father who died when she was around seven. She barely knew her mother, who died from child birth, but it was OK. Snowdrop thought about her family before Morena came in her life and felt at ease with the Septembres! Morena discovered Snowdrop is alive as she uses poison to punish her. So that's what she did, she poisoned Snowdrop, which results in being hospitalize however a doctor by the name of Hal Frost discovered Snowdrop as he was attractive to her so out of kindness, he saves her by finding an antidote and he was successful. Snowdrop came from the coma she was in and she fell in love for Dr. Hal Frost and they got married after dating for awhile. As for Morena, she heard about Hal's engagement and attends to the wedding but to her horror, the bride is Snowdrop! She leaves the wedding as she breaks the heel of her shoe while running and ran bare foot. She got cuts, burns, and sores but she soon met her demise by slipping and falling down a hill; resulting in dying from bones breaking in her skull. Her body was discovered as she was cremated but since she had no family, her ashes were used for a landfill. Tybalt said that these girls have been through a lot, it almost left them mad but only love had saved them! Troubled, Una claimed: "I really don't want to go among mad people." Tybalt chuckled at her response, "It can't be helped. Everybody's mad....We're all mad here, darling." Then, he helps Una and the others to their first task to find Rosalie and Jonah, who are now the King and Queen of the Spades Monarchy. But Rosalie and Jonah are skeptical on newcomers since the incident they've been through however they noticed that these travelers are none other than Una and her friends, the heroes who defeated the evil sorceress Alcina and invite them in. Rosalie has a hatred for cannibalism as she finds it very inhuman to eat the flesh of one's own kind is a sin because there is something wrong with that. She hated cannibalism ever since the death of her grandmother! If ever mentioned of that horrifying event, Rosalie would have panic attacks and she has a fear of wolves and blood. Wolves are pretty much predators that are dangerous, she also has a fear of blood because of the brutal murder of her granny. And also, she won't ever wear the color of red ever again. Later; Una and her friends decide to go visit the Frosts as Snowdrop and Hal are the royalties of Diamonds Monarchy: Snowdrop is quite welcoming, as well as Hal as he begins to trust Una and the others. The couple recognized them as the Heroes of the West, Snowdrop is always paranoid about apples as she had a history of poison before and she worries that the meals wouldn't be prepared correctly and believes it is poisonous as she won't stop getting anxious about it. What's even more annoying is that crone woman who is the neighbors of the Frost couple, her name is Allison Kross & she is The Duchess of Clubs Monarchy. She was ugly looking, almost looks like a man and is married to someone who looks feminine and are ugly too! His name is Valemon Kross, he is the Duke of Clubs Monarchy. In an orphanage far from the Wunderground Factory; the place was called Little Bird where three teenagers by the names of Wanda Darl, Evan Umber, and Mitch Lexington. They lived there all their life however these three aren't ordinary adolescents! But the Little Bird orphanage staff dislikes how Wanda tells the boys stories about fantasy and how childish they can be so they decide to sell them separately. Wanda would be sold to a raunchy cathouse where she would have to sell herself while Evan and Mitch would be forced to be labored slaves. But it looks like there will be a change of plans when Wanda, Evan, and Mitch were asleep when someone crept into the room. Only Wanda heard the intruder coming in and she meets is a young woman in green clothing as she looked to be a young woman of late teens and early 20's. "Who are you?" Wanda asked. "Just a nameless girl, creeping in." The girl said. "Humor me, you don't fool me." Wanda said with a smile. The girl rolled her eyes, "Hermia Fawn." She said. "I'm Wanda Darl, what are you doing here?" asked Wanda. Hermia pulled out a few information as she shows Wanda about what the staff is planning on doing with her and her two friends. Wanda is shocked, she couldn't believe that they would do such a horrible thing to them! Hermia wasn't alone, she had a friend and partner with her; his name was Aubrey Smith. He seemed to be cold and distant to Wanda but his prescence caused Evan and Mitch to wake up. That's when Hermia tells the trio that she knows a place where she could keep them safe and that place was known as Nevermore. So, Wanda and the boys liked this idea as they esaped from the orphanage but the guards try to catch them however they were too late. They were stunned to find out that the trio learned what would happened, even the main staff of it all was shocked and eventually they were shut down after the police discovered this as they arrested them. Hermia drove the car on the way to Nevermore but Wanda, Evan, and Mitch were so tired that they fell asleep. The next day, they woke up as they came across the corporation of Nevermore full of 'lost and broken people'--Wanda and the boys were shy but came to know them better. There was Rama, the second in command. Hanuman was the photographer, Nala and Niles were a duo as Niles has a crush on Nala but she doesn't return the feelings. Much. Kris and Robin were a pair of workers for Nevermore. Vali was a former commander with a lot of traumatic memories, a doctor by the name of Anjana, an old guru man name Claus, and a couple--Tara and Silas. Since the redemption of Daphne, Roger, Eden, and Helias; they became different people however their families are anything but pleased. Daphne's parents, Walter and Shelby, are disgusted at their daughter's newly humbleness. Roger's mother, Tertia, and father, Henry, envied their son for being thin and not so gluttonous anymore. Philip and Leona--Eden's parents--pretty much hate their daughter's new behavior as they missed the spoiled bratty persona she used to have! And Helias's parents, Billy and Patty, are angry over their son is nothing like he used to be. Even after all that; they were not such good parents to they kicked their children out for being different! It was rough so the four of them band together in order to survive. That's when they heard about Nevermore as they decided to head over there! While on their journey; they came across a lion by the name of Barong, he was king of the lions as he was good to every animal and every human being. He took in the four of them and taught them about how to teach the land as well as seeing things different than other people. People mistreat the earth with littering and crushing it so Daphne and the others are taught many things that they felt different with being Barong. One faithful day, Barong was out in the fields when he was shot and killed! Daphne, Roger, Eden, and Helias were shocked as well as heartbroken. It turns out to be a female assassin name Skadi who murdered Barong so that his brother name Rangda could mate with Barong's lover name Lynx. But Rangda had to kill the lion cubs. Daphne, Roger, Eden, and Helias were shocked over this so they wonder if they should save the cubs of Barong until Barong's other brother name Dawon was to mate with Barong's lover so he and Rangda fought each other as Dawon won the battle as he doesn't slay the cubs of Barong in order to keep the spirit of his brother alive! Skadi had caused an uproar by others who knew and loved Barong, she wanted to come back but no one was sure about taking her back for murdering Barong for the love of her hunting sport. Back with Wanda, Evan, and Mitch; they were sent on their first mission--They had to rescue Chief Red Wing's daughter, Winona. She is held hostaged by the likes of Tyrus Argento. So with their skills and enhanced powers; Wanda, Evan, and Mitch managed to distract Tyrus and his crew while they saved Winona. After saving her, they are honored by Red Wing however Wanda feels like she doesn't belong here because she was so different but she managed to bond well with Aubrey. Later, the trio are told the story of Hermia's life and why she created this corporation: Hermia's father was a politican who was rich and strictly solemn however he and Hermia got into an arguement with her father so her father turned to his closest friends, Tyrus Argento and his assistant Oscar. After the arguement; Hermia left the cruise ship as she stared off into space. Tyrus approached her and asked what was wrong so Hermia spilled her guts out and Tyrus pretended to understand how she felt. But then Hermia realized what Tyrus was planning to do as he tried to kill poor Hermia, pulling her in as he try to stab her but Hermia was pushed off the ship as she was left to die from drowning and bleeding to death. However, Hermia woke up as she has survived where a young teen boy by the name of Aubrey saved her life and helps her up to her feet. He decided to aid her exact revenge. After he seemed to butchered Hermia; Tyrus cleaned up the mess and changed his blood-stained clothes so he may washed them. He chuckled to himself as he attended the ballroom on the ship but he couldn't help feeling sweaty hot and uneasy. He was shaken with fear as he heard the clock ticking, he swore he heard some girl laughing. The laughter grew louder as he kept walking but encountered Aubrey, who chases after him! He managed to find Oscar as they escaped in fear. Hermia and Aubrey heard about her father's controversial events and how horrible it was, Hermia was ashamed of her father for being an embarrassment and how much of a sexist as well as a liar and racist he is. How would he be a politician and how he sees every culture as he criticize them for being different! However, Hermia believes her father is hiding something and she & the rest of her crew are going to find out. Being with Rosalie and Snowdrop's diverse kingdoms was weighing on Una, Conner, Aiden, and Fiachra. Their phobias as well as their mood swings and breakdowns! That's when Una came across the Hearts Monarchy as she meets a friendly young woman with a buxom figure and she was the hottest sight ever seen. Her name was Gwendolen Richards and her husband was Orson. Una was shocked as she thought she had Roller Heads but Gwendolen claims that it's all rumors as she has nice things for all her guests. She provided hospitality so Una invites her friends to meet her and her husband. Gwendolen and Orson were the kindest people until Gwendolen was moody, turning from violent to saccharine sweet. She was concern abut her weight as she believes to be overweight! But there was another discovery that Una and her friends made, Gwendolen lied--She is the ruler of the Roller Heads! Una, Conner, Aiden, Fiachra, and Sirius came across Tybalt again, who showed them that the Richards' mansion as well as other pleasuring happiness was all a big lie. The children and people they took in were found dead as their bodies became nothing but life-size dolls! Why? They refuse to be a Roller Head to Gwendolen. Una and her friends were terrified but when Gwendolen discovers this, she kidnaps Conner and the others while Una was locked in a closet. During her captivity, she had to save her friends but couldn't help to wonder why do bad things happen to her. That's when Una found proof of more bodies until she was rescued by a young lady who saved her from captivity! She wasn't alone as two other girls were next to her. "Hi, I'm Monica and these are my friends, Erica & Tina." She said, "Are you OK?" Una was breathless, she managed to tell the girls what has been going on. So Monica helped Una rescued her friends from the claws of Gwendolen where they managed to trick her, rescue Conner and the other guys who transformed into their forms as warriors and demolished Gwendolen and her husband as well as their house. Una was happy to see her friends did well as they were introduced to Monica, Erica, and Tina. 

That's when Fiachra cried out in amazement while pointing up as the gang were shocked when he said it: "Look! It's Sianna!" In a bubble-like field around her; Sianna appeared with a smile on her face, "It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to respond...That was rheatorical." She remarked cleverly. Later, Sianna told Una and the others that she sent Monica and her two friends to rescue Una because she saw through the crystal ball that they were in trouble. Word on street is that Madame Evelyn is causing a ruckus, she used to be the headmistress of Sianna and Lorelai's university but she also is cohorts the council in the core for the North, South, East, and West. Sianna told the heroes about her, an experience she had: While being with her, Madame Evelyn is being too nice! Her co-workers start rolling in late and blowing through deadlines, and Sianna doesn’t get the feedback she needs. It could cost her a raise if she spends all year being praised only to find out at her performance review that she’s not all that impressed with Sianna's work. She’s just nice. Then; her boss has no idea what her job is, or how to be a manager. So when she jumps in and tells you you’re doing everything wrong. Well, she wasn’t. The madame was alienating staff and customers. She can’t use Blind Carbon Copy. She can’t lead a meeting. She says things like “Let’s email it on the social media network.” She’s embarrassing. In awhile, things change in the madame: Madame Evelyn was hurting Sianna's career  by failing to provide feedback and direction and giving her negative performance reviews. Madame Evelyn can be managed, manipulated, and massaged to her advantage. Madame Evelyn wants to read every email she send. Madame Evelyn doesn’t want her to carbon copy her—she wants to stand over her shoulder and dictate. She typed a schedule for washing coffee cups. She has strong ideas about the how toner should be replaced. She is driving Sianna insane. Madame Evelyn has no idea what any of her direct reports do for a living. Sianna couldn't help but ask her a specific question about what she should be working on, and the madame replies with vague platitudes and off-the-wall suggestions. Stupid Madame Evelyn, she has no idea what this job does. One of the staff members has a brilliant new idea, and Madame Evelyn told her that the others can implement it by next week. Sianna will do all the other projects as well, of course. She was just “fit it in,” maybe take lunch at her desk, and it’ll be fine. That's how the madame sees it. And when Sianna makes a mistake at work; Madame Evelyn takes the pleasure as she had told the whole office about it, loudly. Sianna feels as if she is getting ulcers and losing her grip from the stress. And she is certainly not getting a raise. Then, it got even worse week by week later, Madame Evelyn files a freedom of information request seeking the balance in the district's account. Because her family spends away money in such an account, she assumes that the school district does the same thing. She wants to approve every news release issued by the school district, and wants final editing rights on the school district newsletter. She votes to assign members of the board to district classrooms for the purpose of evaluating other workers. Madame Evelyn begins her tenure by telling cooks what to serve in the work lunch program. She spills all the details of an executive session on negotiations to the union. She also requests a master key so that she can randomly visit rooms and offices at night and weekends. Even helping those special needs kids is where she doesn't show her kindness for them--As she claims she has a 'soft spot' for them: She shows little concern for the children, denies the existence of the child, blames the child for their problems in school and the parents for raising them. She asks staff and caregivers to use harsh physical discipline if the child misbehaves. Madame Evelyn sees the child as entirely bad, worthless, or burdensome. She demands a level of physical or academic performance the child cannot achieve. And looks primarily to the child for care, attention, and satisfaction of emotional needs. Even Sianna notices the children are changing by the abuse and oppression that Madame Evelyn has done them: They show sudden changes in behavior or school performance, they not received help for physical or medical problems brought to the parents’ attention, they begin to have problems of difficulty concentrating that cannot be attributed to specific physical or psychological causes. They are always watchful, as though preparing for something bad to happen and lacks adult supervision. They are  overly compliant, passive, or withdrawn, they refuse to come back to that place. Madame Evelyn rarely touches the children or looks at them, the relationship entirely negative and states they don't like her. Then, Sianna told Monica, Una, and the others about how Madame Evelyn played a role in the three tragedies in Lorelai's life. For example, her sister Emina that was murdered in a hurricane. Turns out that it was caused by Madame Evelyn. Second, Lorelai's favorite teacher, Mr. Semolina, was found dead as his throat was torn opened. It turns out to be Madame Evelyn hand gagged him, then with a blade, she slit his throat and killed him but only witness saw this as this was the madame's assistant name Effie, who went insane and died from jumping off a cliff. Third and last was Lorelai's crush turned lover name Asmund was tortured to death, which was on Madame Evelyn's orders. It seems Madame Evelyn had played a part in Lorelai's transformation into the evil sorceress and Queen of all Manannggals! This posh, fish face and narcisstic yet selfish woman had never liked Lorelai when she first came to the university and freaked out when she first met her. She pretended to be nice and kind to Lorelai but she plots to cause destruction for her because she believes she's a demon, monster, or a witch but it is the madame who is nothing more than a demoness, a monstrous witch who doesn't care about anyone but herself.
