Chapter 9: A Little Piece of Heaven

Venetia couldn't sleep, she was lying on her back of her bed but she turned on her side. But she couldn't fight this feeling anymore. She was remembering of Axel, when he was irritated a lot so he seized her by the jaw and threatened her, "Listen, you need to cooperate with us or we'll make you." Venetia sneered at him, "What are you going to do?" She taunted. Axel sneered back, "Maybe, this!" He said. He yanked off her sunglasses but Venetia, fearing that they'll recognize her, squeezed her eyes shut and turned away, "AAAH!" She yelped. "Open your eyes!" demanded Axel. Sandra shook her head, "No!" She said. "OPEN YOUR FRIGGIN' EYES AND LOOK AT ME!!!!!" shouted Axel. Venetia screamed back, "NO, YOU GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!!!" Jude stood in the way of his friend and commanded in a calm but firm voice, "Axel, that's enough!" Axel looked at him in disbelief, "She won't talk!" He protested. "There's no need to get violent." Jude replied. Jude smiled, "Axel, put her shades back on." He said. Axel sighed "Fine." He said. He placed the shades on Venetia's eyes. Venetia forced herself to smile, "Thanks." She said. Axel gritted his teeth, "You're not welcome." He said. Venetia looked away, "Whatever." She muttered. She panted in a way that was immoral and more memories were coming back to her: As if on a hot and bothered whim of feeling concupiscent at the sight of Venetia's beauty; Axel has made it obvious that he wants to come close to Venetia, he’s wants to seduce this girl and Venetia is unaware of this. One night, Venetia is visited by the sweet talking Axel as she is suspicious but allows it. Axel succeeded in getting her drunk, so he can screw her as he isn’t letting her go, though. Venetia just wants to leave, but the guy here wants to have some fun with her however not the way she wanted. He’s forcing her to lose herself to him. After that terror is finished, and Venetia’s in shock in the car, they drive back to the bar and tells the girl that she took it well. After being in a shock, she got out, found a pebble, and threw it at him through the car window. She wakes up not looking forward to her day. She wonders why she even woke up, compared to if she would have just stayed in bed. There is no sun shining into her prison as she could see that there's no rays of happiness, no hope. She sees clouds and her room is gray. The only thing she can make out is his picture and that is enough for her to know that life isn’t all that bad and that there is a reason for her to get up and go on with her day. Expressing misery in life is very common. She doesn’t have joy in drinking or how she enjoyed the taste of it. Instead, she complains she drank too much and she shouldn’t have because she has so many bills to pay for. Then she talks about having a hangover now, making her depressing morning even more depressing. Venetia doesn't have faith in her and think of her as weak. She won’t last the day at work because it is too tough for her. Possibly not because she has the killing headache from the hangover, but because they don’t believe in her inner strength and determination. But the happy memories in Venetia's mind calms her down. It gives her hope. It’s a reason to finish her tasks and go through the difficulties that lay ahead. Her world can come crashing down but she will barely notice it because she is in a trance-like stage with her love in life. He is justifying the sin he had just committed. He understands that what he did was wrong, but in his head he justified doing it and he wants others to tell him it is okay. The two in question are romantically involved, he is creating the life he envisioned for them, by wanting to live and be with her dead body. The reason is their love was not destined, but then he took fate in his own hands and killed her, so then in her death their love will exist. She was going to escape. This is the reason for whatever the sin that this man has committed. He felt as though the love he had with Venetia was the strongest love he had ever felt. He was afraid that he would never feel love like that again. Before he would have to deal with his love being thrown away, he tortured her so she couldn’t leave him. While torturing her, he became overjoyed thinking about the life that they will live together, she is most likely screaming and probably never imagined him torturing her. He tortured her again and again out of love for her and the relationship he envisions for them. In the aftermath, he cannot believe that he did that to her body. 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 and her eyes rolling back. He does this multiple times and tells us that he has a way to preserve her body to torture her pretty self. His crime was cold in the sense of the act itself and also her half naked body began to grow cold. However, she needs to warm her thighs with blood. He knows that he may have taken her life before she was ready. Then, there was another memory of a boy who approaches Jude with something that shocked him: "You're never going to believe this, Jude." He said, showing him the footage of Axel getting involved with Venetia in a destructive, toxic and torturous yet arousing relationship. Jude was shocked to see this, "Holy crap." He gasped. Now after days of torment; Venetia snapped out of it as she came back to life she is enjoying taking her revenge by torturing him. Tormenting him with the same sensation. Taking upon her vengeance, she torments him in the same way that he tormented her. He says that he will do whatever she wants him to do, even if she makes him do multiple things. He agrees that he will do everything she asked over again because she is worth it. They get back together and spend time together. They are under the realization that they are both broken, so they will be together forever. She begins to more memories as her heart is beating so fast in her chest. Her nerves wracked like crazy of more memories echoing her mind: Venetia went to retrieve some sort of fragments in the fountain so she kicks off her shoes and begins to take off her clothes as she didn't know she was being watched. The figure's transfixed gaze to her as Venetia strip down to her lingerie. Then she steps over the lip of the fountain and lowers herself into it. She gasps at the unexpectedly cold water, but doesn’t hesitate to plunge her face beneath the surface. After getting the pieces, Venetia scrambles back into her clothes. Then she gathers up her sandals, tucks them under her arm, picks up the fragments and puts them in her skirt pocket, takes up the vase of flowers and marches back towards the house. She recalls of that night, Venetia was hosting a feast of free food which consisted of hamburgers, chicken, pasta, French toast, seafood, steak, barbecue ribs, and fish. But she had to deal with her the new members of her gang: Teague, Artha, and some other weirdos. Sighing, Venetia turns away and moves briskly towards the library. It’s dark in the library until Venetia has closes the door behind her and switched on the desk-lamp. She turned as she gasped, startled to see who it was. "I knew I'd find you here, Venetia." Axel said, inclining on the sofa. "What are you doing here? Came back to torture me some more?" Venetia asked. Axel got up, he advances tentatively into the room. Venetia crosses almost the full width of the room, before turning to face him. "Well?" Venetia demanded. "What? You don't miss me? After all I put you through and like karma, ironically, you do the same to me? You and me are in a bad romance, Tia." Axel remarked. "We never had a romance, at all. It was more like a...a..." Venetia couldn't find the words, she could not forget the tension. Axel step towards her, "A tension?" He inquired. "No, not really...I mean, well yes." Venetia admitted reluctantly. Axel looked over at her, "Really? I thought I was seeing things when I saw you strip down to your underwear and bra. How you step over the lip of the fountain and lowers herself into it. The way you gasp at the unexpectedly cold water, but you don’t hesitate to plunge your face beneath the surface." He mused. Venetia looked at him with a skeptical expression, "How did you--?" She started to say but Axel walks around her, not touching her skin as he rants a little more in a seductive manner, "After getting the pieces, you scramble back into your clothes. Then you gather up your shoes and your things before you march back towards the house." Venetia looked at him with a horrified expression, "You were watching me...Stalking, I should've known!" She said. Axel chuckled darkly, "I know. But isn't stalking love, Veneita? Hmm? Venetia, Venetia, you're like the white lead...You're poisonous but some how you give such a nice pale complexion." He noted, "They called white lead a beautiful name.....Venetian ceruse." Venetia nods, "Yes. Her Highness Elizabeth wore that but it caused damaged to her because of the poison. That's what you think I've done to you?" She quipped. Axel begins to inch towards her as she begins to back gradually into a dark corner where she’s up against the bookshelf. "No, you're not a Venetian ceruse. You're a belladonna is what you are." He remarked. "I'm many things, maybe I am a poison....A toxin, like....Like everything I touch dies in front of me...I mean, oh! Just look at me....You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? You knew before I did." She said. "Why are you crying?" asked Axel, "I mean no harm. All I want to do is one thing...." He reaches out and draws her to him, until he pushes her back into the corner and starts tearing at her shirt before he links his hands around her neck. She turns her head sharply, biting her lip however Axel hissed softly, "Look at me, girl." Venetia did with hesitation. "I only want is to kiss your sweet, moist snatch, darling Tia." He whispered. Venetia gasps as she tries to move away but Axel starts crushing her against the corner. He takes her wrist and holds it back against the wall. Trying to move away but fails, Venetia buries her face in his chest and he drags her head up by the hair. She feels the air when he touches her. Venetia woke up from the dream, she could've sworn she felt some sort of towering rage feeling of paroxysm--Like some sort of frenzied fury and fire in her body that made her feel so carnal that this feeling drove her crazy. Insane with aphrodisiac convulsion! And she wants more of this feeling. There was one creepy event that start to happen with Monica lately, she sat down after promptly receiving the job and hear a guy on the phone ring in. Turns out these animatronics actually move and might kill her. As she anxiously await in the chair, Monica could no longer sleep in peace, and she could always hear whispering and strange sounds that made her jump. However she needed this job, it was the only one she could get and she was motivated enough to keep the people she loved safe. Sitting in the office she began to twitch and tap her fingers in unease. As usual she was always anticipating something to happen, it was always something. Every jump, every sound made her more afraid and she was beginning to lose herself. With both doors eventually closed when she was reaching the night; Monica began to see something unsightly on the camera, it was the poster it had changed. She quickly looked away in fear but when she turned and saw a terrifying limp machine. She switch the left light and see one of the animatronic. Squealing she flop out of her chair onto the floor unable to reach the door. She again jump up and shiver but yet again slip and fall like the failure she was. By the time she actually are able to reach the button. Soon after she was unable to achieve her one job one of the animatronics pops in and shakes her violently. Frozen in fear; Monica began to panic screaming and running out of there! She personally were never ready for this kind of job and was terrified like a child. Yet something kept making she come back for more, like a sick obsession, in love with her own nightmares. As she nervously start her night shift you hear one of the animatronics call through the phone making strange noises and screeching she feels sick and terrified slamming both doors closed. After allowing herself to calm; she stands and face them with a tremor in your bones, he stares back at with dead eyes. Violently; Monica was stuffed into a new suit unlike the ones before. She has become one of them. Monica woke up with a start, she gasps for breath and realized it was all a dream. The next night was different, everything was going perfectly well, you had everything down and you were ready for anything. She sits back down and start dozing off as the night shift was screwing up her sleep schedule. She woke up to hear a loud clanging from the hallway and her eyes flash open and let out a squeal as she saw another animatronic howling at her like a lunatic. Without noticing for the first time that same animatronic decided to sneak in and scaring her, the thing took a strong grasp trying to drag her away. But Monica got away as she pulled away the mask and escaped. The next day after Monica got fired; she received a letter from Malcom: "Dear Monica, I don't think I'll be able to be where you are. I'm going on a journey to find some recruits and make a difference. I can't allow you to come with me but if our paths cross again, maybe we could make something however I'm traveling however I cannot allow you to come with me. All this time, I wonder who will be the substitute for me to accompany you and share your burdens when I leave you. If something should happen, it’ll affect all of us. In this dangerous situation, can you make it without me? I would protect if I am no longer able to be with you. I can’t be with you because we are separated, but I want to help you and go through all this together. I'd be running away with my heart, hope, and love and never coming back to you. I love you so much that it has become a part of my life. With you gone, I learnt that I need to learn to move on but I will stay with you forever. If I could follow you, I would go wherever you will go despite of all the hardships. But for some reason, it cannot be, because I cannot follow you. If I can rewrite our story on how we met, I would, so that I can follow whoever you go and protect you from harm. If we’d stayed together, I would follow wherever you would go. Sincerely, Malcom." That's what made her change her mind and she wonders about what she really wants. Should she go along with it? After class, she couldn't get his mind off the whole idea of an adventure but then she has a sudden revelation and left. She packed his things and set off on an adventure. Before she could, she sent an email to whom may it concern: "Hi, I know this is going to sound stupid but what the hell! I don't care, I feel like adventure is calling me and if you want to come with me, be my guest. But if you don't, it's fine. I'm going to follow where my heart wants me. You guys must be thinking: 'He's crazy.' Oh, I am. I quit the university. I took some time to think about it and then I realized, is this what I want? I thought it over and over when I realized that this isn't what I want. And so that's why I did it. You're probably thinking I'm weird, or pretty dumb for making this choice. But I couldn't care less. I feel like I know what I want and it's out there. If you care to find me, follow me. I'd be happy to let you guys come with me. If not, fine then. Wish me luck, see you! --Monica." She sent it and she was on her way. When his friends received his email; they knew this would happened. Conner grinned, "Sneaky girl, you really think you'd leave us for just this one girl. Get real." He said. And he too was on his way. Alphege shook his head, "Like hell, I made a promise to Erica." He remarked. He got his stuff pack and headed out. Nathan was shocked, "She's crazy..." He said but then he laughed a bit, "Anything at all for the one you love huh." Soon, he was heading out. Lastly; Andel looked at it blankly before he smiled, "Somebody's inspired." He said. And he packed his things. Soon, Conner sent a message to Monica on his phone. he checked his phone and there was a message for him. He looked at it and it said: "Hey Monica, I'm coming. You really think you're just going by yourself? --Conner." Monica smiled, "I knew it." She thought. She knew her friends wouldn't allow her to go alone but he wasn't alone. He has some allies of his own.

Some people you just meet and you just connect with instantly. Like you’ve known them forever and see a long future. It happened with a girl by the name of Madeline met a boy who took her breath away and wonders if he likes her. She wouldn't know, but after meeting him; she could not get him off her mind. Madeline never felt this way about anyone before. She couldn't breathe, butterflies filled up inside her. Madeline has been waiting, hoping, dreaming for someone like him for so long! He is so much like the person in her dreams, she must have made him from her very own thoughts! But she was shocked to find out that she did not get to know his name so she decides to find out. And to her surprise, it was Lewellen. When it comes to love; Madeline is on the prowl. She could just imagine it like a love story, Lewellen and Madeline were both teenagers when they met and fell in love. She feels as if she is Juliet from Romeo and Juliet because he scene is so perfectly familiar. The two met at a costume ball and to dress up so that he didn’t get noticed. Her Romeo is below her bedroom window and he throws little pebbles at her window to get her attention. She can’t ring the doorbell because her father hates him. She was crying because she really hated what was going on, didn’t want it to happen. It made her sad and what do most people do when they are sad? They cry. They can be everything they want, all he has to do is agree to love as they are meant to be. Madeline sneaks out to talk to Lewellen and warns him to be quiet because if her family were to find out they would kill him. They would be running way for a little while to get some alone time, she is an embarrassment to her family was cut off from her family. Her family told her that she couldn’t love a man like Lewellen because of the feud. This made their love difficult because it was forbidden. Their relationship is a love story. One that has a set beginning and end: Girl meets guy. Guy rocks her world. Girl and guy get hitched with few complications. She eventually got tired of waiting; she began to think that he didn’t want to join her and she thought he’d got himself another girl and forgot all about her. When they met up, she confessed how sad being apart from him made her. She admits she spends her time waiting for him, and asks whether she’s second guessing everything. After all the waiting, he finally proposed to her. Love is a mysterious thing, as many say. He’s already asked her dad for permission and they can finally get married. Alas, these were all Madeline's delusions because she was in love. Lewellen noticed that she looked sad. But Madeline is in love and she cannot escape it. Every person has good qualities and bad qualities about them. However, Madeline doesn’t care about this; she just wants the man, no matter how good or bad of a person he is. She wants her lover to be delicate but at the same time she wants it rough! Even they’re not good for each other; Madeline's desire for intimate relations with a person she’s not quite meant to be with, even though it’s against moral rules. She is thinking recklessly and not seriously caring or contemplating the extent of how damaging a naughty tryst would be! His love makes her experience all the symptoms of narcotics and there’s no rehab for love. She can’t stop thinking about this guy; she even dreams about him. He’s on her mind every day. She's always looking around to see if he's near by. She keeps calling him and when she does its obvious she wants him. Then she is up all night hoping he’ll call her back. There's no one else that gets to her like he does. She’s physically and emotionally weak! Madeline could have any guy she wanted…except Lewellen! She's frustration with Lewellen and she just can’t understand why he isn’t interested. Madeline feels like a loser because she is staying home all night waiting for that one guy to call instead of going out and having fun! Stephen might have noticed that Madeline is obsessed with him, and he may think that she is a stalker- which really hurts her. He is justifying the sin he had just committed. He understands that what he did was wrong, but in his head he justified doing it and he wants others to tell him it is okay. The two in question are romantically involved, he is creating the life he envisioned for them, by wanting to live and be with her dead body. The reason is their love was not destined, but then he took fate in his own hands and killed her, so then in her death their love will exist. He was afraid she was going to break up with him. This is the reason for whatever the sin that this man has committed. He felt as though the love he had with his girlfriend was the strongest love he had ever felt. He was afraid that he would never feel love like that again. Before he would have to deal with his love being thrown away, he killed her so she couldn’t leave him. While killing her, he became overjoyed thinking about the life that they will live together as he is killing her she is most likely screaming and probably never imagined him murdering her. In order to fulfill his need for her as the girl is better to him this way and he feels as though he is deeper than ever before. He does this multiple times and tells us that he has a way to preserve her body. His crime was cold in the sense of the act itself and also her body began to grow cold so he need warm her pretty thighs! He knows that he may have taken her life before she was ready, but he is okay with it because she can’t leave him anymore and he is saying good bye to those possibilities. As far as he was concerned his heart was her’s, but since she was leaving him he knows that she did not see it that way entirely. It is understood that she did love him at one point, but for whatever reason she did not want to be with him at that point. Though the relationship fell apart he feels as though their relationship can now go forward in her death. He understands that he cut her life short, but that’s how life works sometimes. He never thought of the possible emotions that his dead girlfriend could have after he killed her. The strongest emotions being revenge and confusion. In the next part of the story is something he just did not expect. His dead girlfriend’s spirit comes back from the dead to take over her body. After coming back to life she is enjoying taking her revenge by killing him. Murdering him with the same sensation. Taking upon her vengeance, she kills him in the same way that he killed her. After her vengeance upon him, he realizes that what he did was wrong. He tells himself that he will find her in death and apologizes for what he had done. He understands that what he did was cruel because even though he was enjoying his life while she wasn't. He feels guilty that he made her suffer as she wants to know to what lengths he will go to make up for his actions. His girlfriend is still kind of sore about what he'd done. She has feelings for him even after the past horrific events because of this she wants him to make it up for her. This is also so they can be together. She also confirms that for whatever that she did not want to be with him, she got over it. He is willing to do whatever it could possibly take because he loves her. She wants to give him another chance, therefore, conceding to herself that she loves him. He will do whatever she wants him to do, even if she makes him do multiple things, they get back together and spend time together. They are under the realization that they are dead, so they will be together forever. After rekindling their relationship they have decided that they want to be married. Madeline's boy grasping her tightly, her seductive ways turn Lewellen into a male doll where he is easily controllable and fun to play with. They apparently are making a lot of noise, so the neighbors are complaining! She is aware of her perfection, she really loves him and the way he makes her feel. Madeline and her boyfriend are creating havoc together – and they don’t care what people think about that. They don’t need the advice of other people because there’s no salvation for him or her – they’ve both gone way past the point of receiving help from anyone. And they’re definitely not going to quit their oh-so-rebellious ways anytime soon, because all the people are talking about her relationship know nothing about love, despite their judgments. Earlier before they got each other in this mess; Lewellen was lifeless, apathetic, and completely unresponsive to their surroundings though he’s touching all over her. He thinks it’s better for him to act unattached, but for some reason that’s making her want him more. Madeline did not understand at first and wonders, "Do he only want me for my body? Does he want me more?" She’s in love with him and is willing to do anything with her and make her feel the rush, but then after he acts indifferent as if she doesn't matter. And she knows that its a front because he’s always somehow searching and finding her everywhere she goes; chasing her and she wants him to catch her, because she knows she’ll like it. Madeline just wants to know why that he does all this searching for her, but when she walks past him he acts like she’s a ghost like he doesn't see her. She can have anyone else, but she wants him; while he’s acting as if she doesn't matter to him when she does. They’ve been keeping their relationship in secret as no one knows about it or the fact that they're undead. But even though he’s hiding her she’s still feeling good about him, she’s trying to seem like she’s indifferent too, but he heart always beats faster when he’s around. He might act cold, but she’ll always want him! She’s in love with a boy who doesn't show his emotions. He’s cold when it comes to matters of the heart. Even though he’s acting cold, it has her heart beating. She falls in love more. She’s attracted to him not making an effort. In Atlas's mansion, Lorelai enters with Wanda and the other two boys. They climbed over the walls and entered the house stealthily while walking around the house. But a voice rings out: "I knew you'd be back. Hear me out. I never meant to harm you." Lorelai, Wanda, Evan, and Mitch knew who it was and turned to look up at the wretched man from above. "Well you have, you have harmed me." Lorelai remarked, she and the others turned to face him. Atlas stepped down from the stairs as he said, "I realize that, and I regret it. Lorelai..." Lorelai steps over to the door in the back as she said, "I'm setting those kids free from what you and Madame Evelyn did! And don't try to interfere..." She warned. Atlas said, "I'm not calling anyone. The truth is I'm glad to see you again. It gets pretty lonely around here. And I know you must get lonely too." Lorelai gave him a look, "You don't know the first thing about me." She replied darkly. "Oh, but I do. I do know you. I can't explain it exactly. You know what I mean? Lorelai, you've been so strong through all of this, aren't you tired of being the strong one? Wouldn't you like someone to take care of you? Please, help me start again." said Atlas to the three other children. Wanda shook her head, "Don't you think I wish I could? That I could go back to the time when I believed you really were wonderful? Nobody believed in you more than I did." She answered. Atlas looked at her with a look of sympathy, "Oh, my dear child...I never had a family of my own since I was always traveling, and I guess I just wanted to give the citizens of the West everything." He explained. "So you lied to them." said Lorelai, it wasn't a question. "Only verbally. Besides, they were the lies they wanted to hear. You see, where I come from we believe all sorts of things that aren't true... we call it history!" Atlas said. He offers a proposition to them and they seem to be interested. So Lorelai agrees with this. "I'll accept your proposition. We will." Lorelai clarified. Atlas clapped his hands in delight, Wonderful!" He said. But Lorelai held up a finger, "On one condition." She warned. Atlas looked at her, "Yes?" He asked with disappointment. Lorelai pointed to the door, "You set those children free." She said. Atlas was reluctant but nods as he replies, "Done." In the backdoor of the basement to the lab was many kids in locked cages. He pulls a switch and the children are let loose. They fly around and they looked happier than before. "Go! Fly! You're Free! Fly! Isn't it wonderful?! Go, fly!" Lorelai called out. She makes her way to another cage covered by a sheet as Atlas called out, "No! No! Please! Don't!" But it was too late, Lorelai pulled off the cover as Wanda and the boys were shocked to see the person inside was Jibril Sordino, their friend. "No! It can't be! Jibril..." Wanda gasped. Atlas stepped forward, "Kids, we just couldn't keep letting him speak out..." He started to say. Wanda unlocked the cage and reached towards her friend, "Jibril, are you alright? Don't be afraid. It's me, Wanda." She said, but the boy could not speak as it looked vegetated. "Jibril, don't you remember me? Can't you speak?" Wanda asked. No response. Wanda begins to sob, Lorelai felt anger pulsating through her and glared at Atlas as she said, "You son of a bitch." Atlas try to walk forward but Lorelai puts a hand out as she firmly stated, "No... We have nothing in common. I am nothing like you and I never will be and I will fight you until the day I die Atlas!!! You will pay dearly for this!!!!!!! Take your stupid proposition and shove up your ass, you egoistic and cruel man!!!!" And she and the trio escaped. But Atlas got security as well as Madame Evelyn to go on and find them so Lorelai instructed that they split up and get the guards to lose them.

While trying to get away; Lorelai heard the Capable of Greatness speech in her head while she ran: "You can be the best as long as you try and use your abilities to the fullest and believe in yourself. If you work, you can be the best at anything you want to be. You can be strong. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it. You can live by your own schedule and not have anyone controlling you. Living longer. If you were enough dedicated into living a longer life, your human passion and dedication will make you go and do all sorts of stuff to make that happen. All because you CAN DO IT! You can do anything as long as you believe and persevere. Nothing’s impossible, you can break free of whatever’s restraining you. If you apply yourself, you can be the master of everything. You can do whatever you want if you set your mind to it, instead of just waiting around and hoping something will happen. MAKE it happen. Dedication, passion, and faith is all you need. Work hard to achieve your goals and you could end up, well, in the hall of fame. You can do the toughest things with ease if wish to and apply yourself. Even hell can’t be a problem for you if you do that. Just try it. Most people never develop their biggest talent because they don’t try. Do whatever you are doing for the people that got you there. Do it so you can always be proud of yourself and others can be too. You’ll never know what things are like if you never actually try them. You’ve got nothing to lose. You could one day represent your country and make it proud. You are capable of greatness because you can make things happen for your talents are what makes you successful. Never give up and believe in yourself." She knew what she had to do as she went to a building of a big house as she went up the stairs to a chamber with a huge window upstairs with light shining down. "I knew I'd fine you here!" A voice said. Lorelai whirled around, "Phoebe!?" She gasped. There was Phoebe, hands on her hips and she looked at Karen angrily halfway but there's a bit of fragile-like innocence to her. "What the hell? Why couldn't you stay out of people's place such as the mansion of Atlas?" Phoebe scolded. "Trying to be someone that you're not. People learns from their own mistakes and that’s exactly what I'm saying to you. You gotta be honest of who you truly are and not go be an idiot! I mean, your history as a former queen of the manannggals does not make you rebellious!" Lorelai got mad, "I don't care what you think of me. I'm my own person and I don't need you to control me! You think you're all that, don't you? You think can get any guy you want? I'll bet you'll end up hurting them and breaking their hearts! Just like you broke the heart of the friend you trusted! We’ve all got the right to stand up for ourselves and state what’s on our mind! But you want me to repress my mind?! I'll bet the Phoenix Gang are trying to chaste you so people would think you're a harlot! Oh, don't get me started with them. How you didn't do anything to stop them, you must be some sort of masochistic or something, a doormat." She spat. Phoebe gasped in terror and glared back, "You don’t know me!" She yelled. "You have no idea, Phoebe!" Lorelai shouted. At the same time in perfect unison, "You have no idea what I'm going through! Because of you, I don't give a damn if I look stupid!" They turned their backs from each other but they look back with nervousness and apologetic. Phoebe then asked awkwardly, "What did it feel for you?" Lorelai looked at her, the she thought about it for a moment before she explained, "It's like going through into the presence of God, when you can feel him come so close to you, and the anointing comes down upon you. It's a good thing for me...I always hide myself because that’s who I am. I don’t know how to tell everybody how I feel, or express my opinions, without feeling scared or afraid. I have this gut-feeling inside me. My dream is the gut-risk because of how afraid I am. Because I was the type of girl who hid myself, I now wants to let my opinions and feelings out. We all have specialized knowledge pertinent to our lifestyle and worldview. Being outside of our element can reduce us to a state of ignorance. So, why can't I?" Phoebe wasn't sure what Lorelai was saying and believe she might be possibly delirious. All these emotions, it was making her talk crazy. She had to do something to knock some sense into her. "Lorelai, listen....All you got to do is just apologize. It'll make it better, you want to be with Monica and the others, don't you? You want to be with them, don't you?" Phoebe begged. Lorelai nodded, "I know that. But I...I don't want it." She said as she looked away. "I don't want it...No, I don't want it anymore!" Lorelai admitted, much to Phoebe's horror. Concerned, she came beside her. "Are you scared? Don't be." Phoebe said. Lorelai shook her head, "I'm not scared." She answered. "Then who should be?" Phoebe inquired. Lorelai's eyes flashed. "It's Atlas and Madame Evelyn who should be petrify of me!!!" She exclaimed. Taking a deep breath, Lorelai then said: "I don’t feel the same about something morally anymore, here I'm through with Atlas's ways. He wants my help in strengthening his control over the city with his own ideas that are egoistic and controversial and I won’t do it." She walked up the stairs to a room with the sunrays bathing the chamber in its light of the shining orb in the sky. Lorelai looked at the sun and smiled, pretending the heavens were shining upon her, "I'm going to attempt to use my powers to fly!" She said. Phoebe scoffs at her, "You flying, that's not..." She said but then she saw Lorelai begins to fly around. "You're flying, that’s impossible!" Phoebe gasped. Still levitating, Lorelai smiled: "Anything is possible if you believe. Phoebe, I want to raise you high for I believe everyone deserves a chance to fly. Literally!" She answered. Phoebe looked at her as Lorelai looked out the window after getting back on her feet, "I think you need some help, you're talking crazy over things that don't matter." She said. Lorelai spun around, startling Phoebe as she said to her, "OH NO! I'm tired of trying to be like everyone else!" While saying this, she jabbed a finger in Phoebe's chest. Then turned away and continued to wave her hands happily at the idea in her head, "Because others are expecting me to follow someone else’s way of life. Maybe I can't change the past but I can change what I can do now." Then she bowed her sadly as she said, "I never really had anyone who has loved me. I always been shunned, my father and Emina which they both should have loved me, but did not. I rather believe in rising on the top than the idea of repressing myself for the sake of love'. I’ve just got to show who I am. I will ignite my inner self and let everyone know who I am. Be weird or wonderful; be who I and never be ashamed." Then, she turned up a little and went over to Phoebe as she outstretch her hand, "Quick! Get on!" She said. Phoebe was surprised to hear this, "Wha--What?" She asked stammering. Lorelai looked at her, "Phoebe....Come with me, Imagine what we could accomplish anything ... Together. Let’s go down the rabbit hole--Just you and me! I can take you on an adventure, the world you don’t know exists is more beautiful than you can imagine! No authority, no masters holding leashes, free to live as we chose and the only real limitations are those you impose upon yourself. And you can leave your friends behind, we will be unbreakable like elastic, titanium, no even better--Bulletproof! Like a firework!" ranted Lorelai with excitement. Phoebe considered this idea, "Yes, it's sounds wonderful." She remarked. Lorelai smiled widely, "Yeah, it's so exciting!" She squealed. The two girls begin to dance around happily and stopped as Lorelai whirled to the opened window and looked out but she glanced back at Phoebe with a pleading tone, "So....You coming or what?" asked Lorelai. Phoebe was nervous as Lorelai knew what she was about to say and bowed her head in sadness. "Don’t have any regrets, all right?" She said. Lorelai nod, "I won't. This is right, isn’t it? Even though we don’t know the things that lie ahead never have regrets because this is the path you've chosen." She said. Phoebe smiled at her, "I hope you'll never grieve. And have no regrets later on. I wish you all the luck in the world and a friendship holds." She said. Lorelai was touched by this, "You know, I heard that you can't choose your marks but you can pick your friends. You're my best friend, you're the only friend I've ever had." said Lorelai. Phoebe nodded, "And I've had so many friends... but you were the only one that mattered." The two girls embraced each other but Phoebe gasped and says, "Oh no! Hurry you need to get away!" Realizing this; Lorelai said: "Oh, right!" She ran to the window and leaped out before flying away! "Goodbye Phoebe, I can't wait to see you again!" Phoebe nodded with a watery smile, "Me too!" She said. Lorelai flew out of the window and into the sky but heard that trouble was taking place and decided to find out what it was. "THERE THEY ARE!!! ARREST THEM!!!!" Madame Evelyn cried, pointing to Una and the others. The guards apprehended them. "Get away from me!" Una cried. "Unhand me!" Fiachra shouted. "Keep your hands off me! Let go! Ow!" Aiden exclaimed. However, they were told if they move; then they will die. Adele was there with her group and in the city as they were unsure what to do. Just when all hope was lost; everyone heard a voice above. "LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!" Everyone looked up and there was Lorelai standing above, levitating as she glared down at Madame Evelyn and her men as she continued to exclaim, "They had nothing to do with it! I'M the one you want! TAKE ME INSTEAD!!!!" Lorelai bellowed. She could hear them all calling her from below. Una called out to her, "Lorelai?!" and everybody else each shouted her name, "Lorelai....LORELAI!!" Outstretching her arms out and Lorelai shouted passionately yet strong, "TAKE ME!!!!" She levitated up with a force of power through her and then she said, "When you think you are ready for me, come and get me if you can. Right? Am I right or what?" She laughed and gestured over to Adele and the others as she said while smiling at Adele: "As I recalled what someone told me once, 'You can be the best as long as you try and use your abilities to the fullest and believe in yourself.'" Hearing that, Adele begins to smile at her while Adele continued to rant, "And if others decide to stay behind and I'm on my own. In return for my choice, I get the freedom I value most. To those who can’t accept me, tell them what I chose and what I achieved. Tell them what I done that they thought was impossible for me." She danced around happily. "I will find success and rise above, higher than the skyline of a city! Someone can't take my passion away, that's how I am. Overall I am a stronger, better person! I now have the ability to think and defend myself, and is not somebody to be messed with anymore!" She felt the emotions in her and she shouted, "You can do as you please to me. I don’t care. Your attempts to define me will never succeed. You can’t say anything about me since you can’t prove anything, and you need to back away from me. You really don’t. You're not going to do or become something that you expect of me. Since I'm not what other people think of me, I'm not going to give you what you think you're going to be getting!" From afar; Phoebe cried out: "I just wanna see you be brave, Lorelai! You can do it!" Madame Evelyn was furious and turned to her soldiers, "Don't just stand there, you fools! Kill her!" She ordered them. Pumping her legs, she then flew and she shouted, "You can't stop me now!" Flying, she flew and wasn't going to stop her! "GET HER! GET HER! GET HER!!!!!" Madame Evelyn cried out. They fired a cannonball as it explodes into smoke, "NOOOOOO!!!" Everyone screamed. "LORELAI!!!!" Una shouted. All seemed lost....NOT! Just then, Lorelai flew out of the smoke unharmed. "HAHA, I AM INVINCIBLE!!!!! HEAR ME ROAR!!!!" She exclaimed. Everyone cheered at Lorelai, she was stronger and happier than she was before.

During one of his speeches; Atlas heard some sort of recording that played something familiar: "I knew you'd be back. Hear me out. I never meant to harm you." Lorelai, Wanda, Evan, and Mitch knew who it was and turned to look up at the wretched man from above. "Well you have, you have harmed me." Lorelai remarked, she and the others turned to face him. Atlas stepped down from the stairs as he said, "I realize that, and I regret it. Lorelai..." Lorelai steps over to the door in the back as she said, "I'm setting those kids free from what you and Madame Evelyn did! And don't try to interfere..." She warned. Atlas said, "I'm not calling anyone. The truth is I'm glad to see you again. It gets pretty lonely around here. And I know you must get lonely too." Lorelai gave him a look, "You don't know the first thing about me." She replied darkly. "Oh, but I do. I do know you. I can't explain it exactly. You know what I mean? Lorelai, you've been so strong through all of this, aren't you tired of being the strong one? Wouldn't you like someone to take care of you? Please, help me start again." said Atlas to the three other children. Wanda shook her head, "Don't you think I wish I could? That I could go back to the time when I believed you really were wonderful? Nobody believed in you more than I did." She answered. Atlas looked at her with a look of sympathy, "Oh, my dear child...I never had a family of my own since I was always traveling, and I guess I just wanted to give the citizens of the West everything." He explained. "So you lied to them." said Lorelai, it wasn't a question. "Only verbally. Besides, they were the lies they wanted to hear. You see, where I come from we believe all sorts of things that aren't true... we call it history!" Atlas said. Another recording was also played at his speeches: Atlas called out, "No! No! Please! Don't!" But it was too late, Lorelai pulled off the cover as Wanda and the boys were shocked to see the person inside was Jibril Sordino, their friend. "No! It can't be! Jibril..." Wanda gasped. Atlas stepped forward, "Kids, we just couldn't keep letting him speak out..." He started to say. Wanda unlocked the cage and reached towards her friend, "Jibril, are you alright? Don't be afraid. It's me, Wanda." She said, but the boy could not speak as it looked vegetated. "Jibril, don't you remember me? Can't you speak?" Wanda asked. No response. Wanda begins to sob, Lorelai felt anger pulsating through her and glared at Atlas as she said, "You son of a bitch." Atlas try to walk forward but Lorelai puts a hand out as she firmly stated, "No... We have nothing in common. I am nothing like you and I never will be and I will fight you until the day I die Atlas!!! You will pay dearly for this!!!!!!! Take your stupid proposition and shove up your ass, you egoistic and cruel man!!!!" Humiliated; Atlas was exposed as everyone egged him and shouted out jeers at him. Atlas and Madame Evelyn's careers were both ruined for the monstrosity that they caused!
