Chapter 2: Jennifer Tomkins 

CRASH went the window of the office door, that office door belonged to the private investigator name Jennifer Tomkins; the dark  haired young woman  with the black attire of a jacket, jeans, scarf, and combat boots. No smile on her face. At all. “Talk to me that way again and I’ll make you regret. Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s impolite to talk to a young lady like me like that and gets away with it.” She said. The thug who was thrown out was scared out of his wits as he ran off. This was a day in a life for Jennifer Tomkins; she works as a private investigator. She always got jackasses yelling at her and treats her like dirt. Bar fights from guys who want to take a swing at her. Drinking shots of whiskey and booze. However, Jennifer wasn’t an ordinary 22 year old young woman! In ninth grade, she was just a shy individual student and felt invisible to other students. Jennifer had a crush on this boy and was about to make contact with him with a greeting however that failed! Even though she was ‘invisible’, Jennifer struggled to maintain a relationship with her older sister Peggy. Peggy was uptight and took everything too seriously while Jennifer was laidback, calm yet cool. One day, Jennifer came to visit Peggy and uses bubbles to try and lighten up the classroom but Peggy wasn’t amused as she scolded at her. Saying she was interrupting the classroom. Jennifer felt angry after her big sister forced to leave the classroom, where her students felt pity for Jennifer as she was trying to have some fun. Then came that tragic event where Jennifer, Peggy, and their parents name Pesach and Geneva were going on vacation. Jennifer was tired of listening to Peggy’s success as the two sisters begin to argue with one another. Jennifer calls her a hypocrite for being sweet and innocent around her family but couldn’t show kindness and claims she hates Jennifer for being fun-loving and easy-going. The family’s vehicle crashed with a van, everything went black for Jennifer. Two years later in her junior year of high school and close to senior; Jennifer awoke from her coma as she learns that she was the only survivor of the car accident. Her family died in the accident, this made Jennifer believe that it was her fault and blamed herself. She regrets on the argument with her sister as she wished she told her that she loves her. Jennifer managed to get adopted by a nicer family and she returned to school. When she got back to school; Jennifer was labeled as a freak and out-casted from others. She was harassed by a jock until she discovered her powers after punching the jock into a wall hard, shocking everyone. “SCREW YOU ALL!!!! GO JACK OFF IN A BOTTLE OF FORMALHYDE AND DIE, DIE AND BURN IN HELL FOR ALL I CARE!!!” Jennifer shouted at them. She picked herself up and ran off. She’d get angry at anyone who tries to pity; she didn’t need anyone’s sympathy because of her loss. However she wanted to make good with her powers. She discovers she can glide, move a little more rapidly and heals faster. That’s when she came across a young, eccentric man name Shakuni. It wasn’t until she discovered that Shakuni had the ability to bring those who died back to life however making them undead as a result. Jennifer was shocked but she was forced to work for Shakuni unless he blackmails her of her powers. Jennifer agreed but she also was forced to be a lust object for Shakuni where she felt so violated. The final straw came when Jennifer was forced to kill children, women, and those with illnesses as they were forced to come back to life as zombies. Shakuni was obsessed with living forever as he had a fear of dying. After uncovering corpses and forcing to kill for awhile; the traumatized Jennifer managed to escape from Shakuni and she became a private investigator where she plans on tracking down Shakuni and prevent him from causing a zombie apocalypse. She had to stop him once and for all, make him pay for what he did to her and to all those people as part of his experiment. Walking alone on these streets made Jennifer paranoid a little as she felt like she could still hear Shakuni calling her name, screaming her name. This made Jennifer punch a window of an abandoned building as she managed to get away. “You have no power over me, you have no power over me, you have no power over me….” Every time her distressing state causes her to snap, Jennifer always repeats this mantra many times until she calms down as she tries to remind herself that Shakuni has nothing on her now. Never again will he hurt her or anyone else. But soon, she begin to have some strange days, Jennifer meets a hooded figure and buys him a drink as she tries to make a little conversation with him but to no avail. Jennifer was angry as she was trying to do good for others and now she was going to punch the hood until the hood caught her fist in her hand. He knows who Jennifer is, Jennifer tries to find out who the masked figure is but she releases her grip on her fist and leaves. Jennifer follows her however she lost sight of her! Then, Jennifer was shocked to discover reptilian monsters, Wendigos Just then, a strange girl came to Jennifer’s rescue, this young woman was Roxanne. Jennifer noticed that her hand was bleeding, Roxanne try to assure her that he was fine but Jennifer insists for she wanted to check. She looked at the hand for any cuts she might have but her wounds healed. Ruby gasped, she points at her while she said: “Whoa, that’s freaky but cool.” Roxanne was nervous, she was afraid she would run off screaming but she didn’t. She was fascinated by it. Jennifer introduced herself to Roxanne as she reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’m good with weird.” Roxanne smiled, “Thanks.” She said. She sure was relieved. However it got stranger when she was investigating on a case involved with a corporation called Silver Branch and came across this corporation after she accidentally came across a flying ship and got on it as she was attacked by Wendigos and knocked out. Later, the metallic head above her sprayed sprouts of water on her bare skin, the blistering shock relax the tension in her muscles. Her black tresses soaked in the rain of the shower. Jennifer closed her curtains as her fingers danced in those cherry locks of hers, unknotting the tangles as she yelped quietly. Hands dragged a soapy louffa against her body, washing the soap that scrubbed all over and erasing traces of bad odor and gunk. She let the steaming rain caress her body while the coating of bubbles dissolves and rinsed away. Jennifer turn up the shower a little more hotter but she gasped at how hot it was against her skin. Her feet felt like they were on fire so she turned it down for a bit. It also prickled at her scar where she remembers about that memory made her pant for breath, made her gasp and she begins to pant her mantra over and over again: “You have no power over me, you have no power over me, you have no power over me….” 

How did this Jennifer Tomkins came into the picture? Let’s go back to the beginning, shall we? 

Earlier before….

Genjo meets a nice girl by the name of Missy who is a hard working girl. And yet, she is subjected to horrendous abuse all her life: Her grandfather had inflicted unwanted abused her, her father was an alcoholic, and her mother didn't help Missy of that abuse as she blamed it on her daughter--claiming it was her fault. Missy managed to survive and escaped the abuse from her grandpa, she was abused by her second boyfriend. But the first guy she was with was a psychotic but the second one was worst. But one day, Missy was discovered dead in alley and it was found out that it was a biker gang. Genjo snaps after Missy’s family didn’t care about her death and butchered Missy’s cruel family! He also found that biker gang and the boyfriend as he slaughtered them. Finally; Genjo’s deeds were found out by Cassandra, Genjo confesses in an emotional state as he exclaimed: “I DISPOSE OF THEIR SHITTY REMAINS!!! THEY NEVER CARED FOR AN INNOCENT GIRL LIKE MISSY, SHE WAS A NICE PERSON….” He broke down crying as Genjo’s friends, Roxanne, her team and her friends are shocked to find out that Genjo has changed a lot. But Genjo vows to help someone in need if it happens again. He won’t let anyone innocent and sweet be confronted by relentless abuse—Family, friends, or other people. Never again.

However it got stranger when she was investigating on a case involved with a corporation called Silver Branch and came across this corporation after she accidentally came across a flying ship and got on it as she was attacked by Wendigos and knocked out. She woke on an autopsy table where doctors try to soothe her fears as they inject her with a needle of a strange serum. 

Jennifer fell unconscious and woke up back in her apartment except she has no recollection on how she got returned here. The metallic head above her sprayed sprouts of water on her bare skin, the blistering shock relax the tension in her muscles. Her black tresses soaked in the rain of the shower. Jennifer closed her curtains as her fingers danced in those cherry locks of hers, unknotting the tangles as she yelped quietly. Hands dragged a soapy louffa against her body, washing the soap that scrubbed all over and erasing traces of bad odor and gunk. She let the steaming rain caress her body while the coating of bubbles dissolves and rinsed away. Jennifer turn up the shower a little more hotter but she gasped at how hot it was against her skin.

It also prickled at her scar where she remembers about that memory made her pant for breath, made her gasp and she begins to pant her mantra over and over again: “You have no power over me, you have no power over me, you have no power over me….” That was when after she got into a bar fight again from being harassed once more, she begin to see flashes of images in her mind that didn’t belong to her! As she was stumbling in the streets at night, Jennifer panted as she had the memories inside her mind as she could see everything: There was Roxanne Fawn. Roxanne was 8 years old as she had protected her identical twin sister, Katherine 'Kayla', from the terror of their father. But Roxanne revealed to her sister that the man they thought was their father was actually their stepfather, and their biological father was dead. Roxanne and Kayla'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. Roxanne 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 they are brought up in society where parents are the go to for love and acceptance. Roxanne is searching for comfort in a higher being. Without her father to comfort her she asks God 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; Roxanne's stepfather takes his anger out on primarily on Roxanne, and Kayla 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 Padraig turns to her, face full of malice. Roxanne tell him to leave, he pulls out a revolver, she lunges at him, managing to wrestle the gun away on the ground.  Roxanne point it at him, hands shaking as he grabs her sister from the floor, holding a knife to her throat. Roxanne 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 Little Roxanne. 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! Kayla was on the floor and Roxanne saw blood, she was so scared that she begins to cry. Padraig yells at her until Roxanne 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 Roxanne never told about the murder or the abuse. So she lived with a nice family that was kind to Roxanne, they gave her all the love they have given her. And Roxanne made some friends. On the other side of somebody else living in a different world; Delilah is one year older than an eight year old. At nine years old, she doesn’t understand why many other kids have moms and dads when she only barely has a mother. Her father abandoned the family, and her mothers never around most likely doing obscenities and going to joints to get high. She feels like she doesn’t have anyone to talk to. The only person she has is her mom is too occupied with drugs to even take her emotions into consideration. Her mother is unstable and brings men home with her late at night after she has been partying, the relationship between the man and her mother almost always end up abusive towards not only her mother, but her also. The men her mother brings home constantly subject Delilah to unwanted abuse, easily overpowering her with their strength and size. While this abuse is occurring her mother has passed out from her excessive consumption of narcotics, leaving Delilah completely defenseless. Delilah’s trying to tell her mom about what these men have done to her, but her mom doesn’t think that she’s telling the truth. Since all kids has is her mom, and she wouldn’t listen to her, she now realizes that she’s on her own. Delilah’s life is a living hell at home because of her mother ignoring her and being raped and beaten by men. Because of this, she thinks hell is her own home! 

For her sister, Charlotte, is trying to figure out why the world is so cold. She is only younger, she’s trying to understand why life isn’t fair and why everyone is so unhappy. She is lacking confidence and she feels like she can’t fit in with everyone else. Getting drunk of her ass and lacking better judgement, her mother is constantly angry at her and yells at her for things that are likely not her fault and even ends up resorting to physical violence. When the teachers notice her injuries, she lies about them because she’s afraid of revealing her mother’s abuse. The physical abuse has gotten so bad that it has damaged an organ or ruptured a blood vessel causing internal bleeding. She cries from the pain and because she is scared of her mother. Charlotte always had trouble finding friends that could understand her. One of her friends, Chelsea Stacy, has been killed due to a drive by a bullet, killed by something that wasn’t her fault and out of her control. After her friend Chelsea dies, she feels alone once again. Their mother name Erica is popping ecstasy pills in order to feel happier. While going through puberty emotions become heightened due to hormones and cause many teenagers to act very impulsively. In Erica’s case this is demonstrated by her claiming her love for someone she barely knows. The fact that she is neglected at home most likely contributes to the desperate desire she has to be loved by someone. Erica is only thinking about what her situation is now instead of what tomorrow holds and besides, she’s wouldn’t be for another emotional letdown because she’s emotionally vulnerable. Erica is pregnant and her belly grows. Their father does not have the resources to care for a child, so instead of staying and trying to raise the child, he bails out to leave Erica on her own. Her mom would make it seem like a bigger deal than it is! She can’t afford to have an abortion. She’s alone in this world, and home seems like a living hell. There’s no point in staying where she is now, so she wants to pack her things and leave. Charlotte and Delilah couldn't deal with it, so they escaped the dark life of abuse and a journey ahead with each other. In her early teens; Roxanne has golden blonde hair, that is placed into two curled-point ponytails, by two pink with white trimmed scrunchies, and a few bangs across each side. She is noted for her fair skin, soft features, blue eyes and a curvaceous figure. In the meantime, Charlotte has blonde hair, styled in a spike-like hairstyle, with a large bang that's been dyed pink. She also shares has blue eyes, and naturally fair skin. She wears a pink top, with short sleeves that go off-shoulder on her left while underneath shows a bluntly yellow top. Across the top shows what appears to a black sash with a particular abstract design. On her waist she wears a black waist belt that separates her top from her skirt. Delilah's hair is short blond hair with a few brunette streaks, blue eyes and fair skin. Her face appears to be much more sculpted and toned. She wears a white jacket that is unbuttoned and cut off below her chest. Underneath reveals a transparent shirt that has leather trimming, a buckled emblem in the center with black and white Victorian-themed lace across the middle. She wears slimming black pants, with high heeled boots that have a particular design and a pair of gloves on each hand. Roxanne 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. At the same time, Charlotte and Delilah were there as well. Unknown to these girls that their lives will change forever! When one twist of fate will snared them like a rabbit caught in a trap. 

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. Roxanne 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, Charlotte look up again and he's staring at her intently. "What--?" Charlotte 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, Charlotte just sit there and let the attractive boy hug her for a second before she suddenly feel a prick in her shoulder. "Ow!" Charlotte yell and throw him off of her, jumping up to see some sort of tranquilizer stuck in her arm. Charlotte quickly rip it out and throw it. "WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT THE HELL?!" Unfortunately, Charlotte 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, Delilah 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 you easily. "Gotcha!" He laughs, stroking her hair. "What did you do to me?!!" Delilah 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 kidnapped, young girls being sold for ruining their innocence. The girls were given numbers of identification pinned to their dresses. But Roxanne stood out. She stared at them with a piercing gaze. There still fight left in her eyes. Roxanne 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 Roxanne 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. Roxanne 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; Roxanne 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, Roxanne feels like she has to be this way. She’s just putting on a brave face. Despite the fact that Roxanne has an extremely lavish and lively lifestyle she insists she is not a role model. Roxanne 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 Roxanne are fooled by her outward demeanor. Roxanne has managed to make everybody fall in love with her looks, yet nobody knows what Roxanne is really like. 

In the world while struggling in slavery and abuse; Charlotte numb 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. Charlotte plunge into a trippy world on hallucinogens. Charlotte 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. The policemen telling these users to leave a place where they’ve been on these hallucination narcotics; sending them to the battlefield. Charlotte 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, Charlotte 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. Charlotte would take more narcotics in order to feel better and expand her mind and consciousness in general. And then, there was Delilah and her point of view in memories inside her mind: Charlotte 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. Delilah 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. Delilah 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; Lady Marmalade and her partner, Cross-Eyed Mary worked together in the world of business. It wasn't something that they were used to doing. And their names weren't really 'Lady Marmalade' or 'Cross-Eyed Mary', it's what they are put up with. 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 Lady Marmalade and Cross-Eyed Mary 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 Lady Marmalade and Cross-Eyed Mary, 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. Lady Marmalade has given her body as exchange for a job at the lawyer’s firm. She doesn’t know about his infidelity so she will continue to stay with him, the accommodations are in such disrepair it seems as if they are falling apart as people watch. They have a job as a moonlight worker for the extra money they need. Their least favorite things is to be with men so they can get their money. She’s done more than one of her least favorite things for her clients. stains on sheets and sleeping with roaches. These are the things a no longer optimistic and cheerful person sings of, but the things a depressed and broken person sings of. If men are not feeling so great, a good woman will cheer them right up. Since they are just so happens to know a skilled tart, he’ll just bring them around to her place and they’ll be feeling better in no time. The room isn’t the only thing decaying. The very souls of the people inhabiting them are falling apart as well, and a tart who has been arrested for theft. Her sailor returning home from sea, alluding to a brothel, the ruin of God-fearing people. Lady Marmalade and Cross-Eyed Mary 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! Lady Marmalade's 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." Lady Marmalade's real name is Maggie-Mae while Cross-Eyed Mary's birth name is Lalena. Meanwhile, A young and timid man name Nelson Raymond is bored of the sentimental normality of his life. Nelson hasn’t gotten it up in a while, and this is why he’s concupiscent than a rhino. He isn’t exactly craving love; this is more of a desire for him! He’s hitting every red light place there is downtown, where he’s having no luck. He’s also been shown out of many of the clubs he’s been to. Finally, he meets a girl at a place where a place with a dance club is. He’s hooked on it. The tingle he gets in his body after, and how he feels alive! He’s feeling awfully amorous. Can’t anybody see that love is the drug that Nelson’s addicted to? The love for red lights drove him to buy a place in the city, to throw lavish parties for a chance to grab the hookers' attention. Anyone can be driven to obtain the dream by something that make them do it. Envy, love, hatred, hope, and reason. When someone in love, people are willing do anything for that person. To get that excitement when a person first get those butterflies and when they hold hands that they love the feeling. But that can leave you helpless because they are willing do anything to save a lover. It's a feeling he had when he first saw the beautiful, stunning Roxanne and he would write her things like: "I love you so much, this is what I'm going to do. You left me in a tango, in the soul I went and it felt like my heart left me and before I have no desire to live. Because I can not convince you don't sell yourself, Roxanne. Why does my beating heart cry? Feelings I cannot fight, you may be free to leave me for now but don't desert me. And believe me when I say, I love you." 

Roxanne was flattered until she is disturbed to find another note that said something graphically: "My love, I know that you love me too. You need me, you need me in your life. You can’t live without me, and I’d die without you. I’d kill for you." Roxanne found his writing sweet but that one was a bit extreme! At a bar; Nelson leaves with the then unconscious Roxanne, takes her back to his house to takes pictures of her and later cuts off some of her hair for his shrine. Nelson then duct-tapes Roxanne and locks her in his closet; which she later escapes from. Then, Nelson attacks Roxanne after seeing her with another man. Roxanne 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. Nelson then apologizes to Roxanne and everything was fine. The next day, Nelson attacks someone who was with Roxanne. In the bathroom; Roxanne locks herself in the bathroom to stop Nelson from entering. After that fight, Nelson is trying to stop her from packing her stuff in preparation to leave. Roxanne exits the bedroom with her bags, and as she reaches the stairway Nelson pleads with her to stay. Roxanne refuses and turns to leave. As she does so, she slips on some marbles on the floor and endures a rough fall down the stairs. The last thing she sees is Nelson coming towards her down the stairs, with an innocent expression on his face. Roxanne awakens, bruised and swollen in bed with Nelson, stitching up one of her wounds. Roxanne tries to grasp for the telephone at the bedside, only to have Nelson smash her knees with a golf club with an angry look of domestic violence towards her. Later, Nelson is preparing a salad, rapidly and angrily chopping the vegetables with a large knife. Roxanne awakens in bed, and attempts to sneak out through the door, but Nelson catches her at the doorway. He gives her a bewildered look while holding the bowl of salad. He breaks down in a rage and tries to hit her but resists as he lets her go. That night; Nelson finds Roxanne in the alleyway, with a client as she looks into oblivion. He is spying on them in his car. He doesn't get it, Nelson believes that these girls are forcing to be with these clients. He sees Roxanne later with Charlotte, Delilah, Maggie Mae, Lalena, and Madame Teresa. He charges at Roxanne and murders her in front of her friends! While killing her, he became overjoyed seeing her blood all over as the others scream in fright. And Roxanne laid there, dying. Then, Nelson stabbed Charlotte, and he turned to Delilah 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. Maggie Mae and Lalena begin to cry over their bodies but Teresa 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, Teresa 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 no ordinary syringe--This would reanimate the girls back to life into the form of something called 'tennyo'. The being of a tennin are ethereal creature  are tall, radiant, angelic beings. They are guardians who are protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out tasks. Female types called tennyos are generally regarded as divine spirits who animate nature, and are usually depicted as beautiful, young nubile maidens who love to dance and sing; their amorous freedom sets them apart from the restricted and chaste women. Tennin can fly, a fact generally indicated in art by their colored or feathered kimonos and they are unable to fly without these kimonos. Tennyos may be beautiful, supernatural female beings but they are youthful and elegant. 

She injected the syringe into Roxanne, cleans the needle, and injects it into Charlotte. She repeats the same ritual before moving onto Delilah. Then, Madame Teresa waited with Maggie Mae and Lalena. Then, they could hear the girls are awakening from the dead and now they are seeking revenge. 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 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, Roxanne 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, Charlotte, and Deliliah butcher him! Then, Maggie Mae and Lalena became tennyo as well; they took revenge against the red lights business! All they have to do is seal their bodies in this vile business and how they are terrified of what was happening to them but they have to take down the people that had destroyed their innocence but now they got their revenge. But they decide to let Madame Teresa to come along, because she was the only one who was good to them. Hours later, there were many men who physically assaults some girls by punching them in the back of their heads and pushing them through the glass top table. One of the men attempts to strangle a girl, but she is able to break free, and gain enough time to locate bullets and a gun in a case. When he turns around to attack her again, the girl shoots him in the head, causing his brains to be splattered on the wall. These girls took down the rest of the men one by one. One delivered a neck snap or slow strangulation, another shot them with a gun, one used a knife to stab, and the other one used a flamethrower. The girls there were tough as nails and pretty things that should not be messed with: The first one is Roxanne is the leader and is just trying to get her and her friends' freedom. She is left alone in the world when her mother dies and she accidentally kills her sister while trying to kill her step-father, he tries to kill her first. When she is sent to an 'insane asylum'. really a cover for a escort service, she does all that is in her power to help her and her friends escape this hell. She is strong-willed and awesome, yet she has her sensitive moments. She faced many challenges while trapped in the asylum. The second is Charlotte despite her situation she always manages a smile. Her older sister Delilah does everything to keep Charlotte safe and she loves her to death for it. Charlotte was the first to make friends with Roxanne when she arrives and is instrumental in getting everyone else on board with the plan. She was the first one to take Roxanne under her wing.  She shows empathy and pity for Roxanne and tries to comfort her, which shows her sympathetic caring side. But on the battlefield, she is probably the most eager to fight. The silent helper Maggie Mae though she don't say much as she always want to help. Regardless of if she just met someone you see the good in them so when Roxanne arrives, she instantly want to be friends, but she holds back for fear of the unknown. In most of the adventures she is the silent helper the one that gets everyone out of the trouble they're in. Maggie Mae is the most empathetic of the girls. She is their fiery pilot and lollipop lover! She is easily intimidated, but can cause bad damage to an enemy when needed as she utilizes a fighting machine with a bunny symbol. And lastly, Lalena is a really sassy girl who isn't afraid to help her friends, but sometimes she can't help the way she wants. She is all for Roxanne's plan of escape and agrees almost instantly to help with the plan. When she confides what her and her friends are up to. What she sadly gets her and her friends caught but until the end she tries her best to do whatever she thinks is best for her friends. Lalena is the confident, tough girl of the group.  She does not warm up to Roxanne at first, but soon all the girls become close. She proves to be a tremendous fighter, but Lalena is not as tough as she seems. After getting lost from their escape; Roxanne and her friends, even Madame Teresa, decides to spend 24 hours in a so-called abandoned building to prove that it's not haunted. "This could be fun." Roxanne thought sarcastically. As they walk down the hallway; The girls could see a girl her age as she smiled at them: "Are you lost?" She asked. Roxanne was relieved, "Thank God I'm not the only one alone." She thought. "No, we're not." said Madame Teresa, "Is he here?" The girl nodded and turned, "Master, we have guests! And Teresa is here!" The girl said. "All right, I'm right--" Another voice said. It was none other than it was a wise man figure who looked a little older but he appeared to be in middle of his late fifties and early sixties, who seemed shocked at this. "Who are you?" asked the wise man. The girls introduced themselves before him but there that thought this place was abandoned! 
All of her life; Roxanne knows that materialism and typical things won’t lead to happiness but then again, nothing leads to happiness. Unification of time; people are searching for a place of belonging. But there are sadists, masochists, and also a continuation of the sadist and the masochist. She wants to be the one who wants be in control. But then, they keep their lives private and return to their normal lives. Roxanne wants to be heard, understood, and admired by the people that meet her. She wonders how the bad people she comes across with cannot see the devotion she and her friends have for the things they create. The thorn is the people and all these people who never believe what she said, tried to get rid of her. If they don’t believe her now, will they ever believe her? People say that home and school are far too boring for her- she wants to get into trouble, do bad and wild things, and live up her rebellious life. Sometimes older people look at rocker kids as helpless little punks, as if their musical dreams are never going to get them anywhere. This is happening to her, but she chooses not to believe the words she hears. Roxanne is the kind of girl who gets into trouble, and taunts authority with promiscuous and naughty behavior. She’ll be offering guys a lot of the wild side, and some really good hands to break them apart. Belle heard once that boys just want to fool around at night, but never commit to any relationships or day activities with their 'interests' Boys and young men often fit into this category, because sometimes they just can’t stay tied down. They’re full of hormones, always horny. She finally gets this impression, and thinks that guys will only use her and then leave. She’s a chick who is talented and feisty, which just makes her ten times more bad-ass. She thinks of herself very highly, like she’s the equivalent to the world itself. She’s also is the type who can’t be gotten rid of. She’s everywhere, whether anyone likes it or not. Roxanne was clad in a black karate gi, driving a large vehicle that’s carrying a man in cryonic slumber in a city, but the passers seem to ignore the mass of the vehicle. The vehicle begins to sputter and slow, prompting Roxanne to check the motor. The vehicle's engine assembly consists of a mouth in which all of the teeth appear rotten. Just then, Roxanne touches her cheek, appearing to have a toothache, and proceeds to a nearby dentist's office. While she's going to the room of the dentist, she is examined by the dentist, an anthropomorphic gorilla, who discovers a diamond in her mouth. The dentist attempts to steal the diamond for himself, but Belle leaps onto his back and pummels him, and retrieving the diamond, escapes the office. She takes the diamond back to her vehicle, all the while it multiplies in size until she is barely able to carry it. Roxanne tosses the diamond into the vehicle's mouth, apparently correcting its earlier affliction. She then drives to a museum and proceeds inside, carrying a satchel containing a bomb. The museum is full of surrealistic things like mirrors reflecting non-existent people. Sneaking past the museum's guards, she places the bomb on one of the exhibits, a man lying on an altar in a deep sleep. She then bolts toward the museum's exit, concerning the guards and other patrons. She makes it out of the building just moments before the bomb explodes. After the explosion, she re-enters the building to find all the unarmed visitors and the man from the altar, who appears to have been just awakened by the blast. Knowing what their duties are now; Roxanne and the other four girls are super-heroines in a lonely world and battle against the monsters. These girls are qualified to fight against the things they are up against, they need to make sure their bodies are in tip top shape to do battle with invaders that are destructive. Life can be destructive and malicious thing that is programmed to kill and destroy. No positive things can be done by it. Their minds and bodies must be at optimal conditions, but the wise master has faith in these girls' abilities and strength to win. It's one girl’s struggle for her life is a huge battle with huge ramifications, although other people may not see it as that. Roxanne knows her chances of survival are slim and she may be losing hope. The wise masters then tries giving her and the other girls some more hope, reassuring them that they can make it through. The people don’t believe Roxanne will defeat or survive in the battles. Roxanne won’t let her enemies eat her alive and she will do whatever it takes to survive. 

Just then, a storm came along. And Roxanne was in this catastrophe. The city was feeling like it was floating up by the power of the storm! The people scream, stuff was flying everywhere. The tempest was so strong that there was a blinding light. The storm was over, but the damage had been done! Roxanne woke up to see much debris and how the town looked destroyed, as well as how much she was alive. Everything around her was in pieces. Trees everywhere. No power, no heat, or anything else in the buildings that stood in one piece however they try to get the power to flick on but nothing happened! Roxanne got up but noticed she was a mess. Her clothes were wear and tear, her upper-body becomes more and more scarred, as a result of her experience from the storm. She saw the losses of other people and how some were lucky. "The town....the storm must've...Oh crap...." Roxanne muttered to herself. She sighed but grimaced, "Ah! It hurts...." She cursed. There was a stick lodged in her side so Roxanne gently pulled it out, but she cussed and eventually got it out. Roxanne gripped a hand over the wound to not let it bleed so much. "HELLO!!!!! SOMEBODY!!!!" She shouted. Roxaane kept walking and never stopped. But the bleeding was making her lose conscious and was feeling so dizzy from the blood loss and she didn't want to give up as she fell forward. Believing that she would die alone of blood loss; but by a saving grace, Roxanne was rescued by a bunch of people who were peering down at her before helping her up. These people were Hyacinth Smith, Sunniva Rossi, Bastia Walker, Mateo Fritz, Olander 'Ollie' Mustermann, Tova Jansen, Deanna Stiles, Keisari Dupont, Fabiola Perez, Antoinette Lingens, Valerian Atkins, and Felix Nordmann. Days turned into weeks and everything was repaired as not all had been destroyed. But the best part was Roxanne made friends with these twelve strangers and they became close friends to her. One day; Roxanne, Hyacinth, Sunniva, Bastia, Mateo, Olander 'Ollie', Tova, Deanna, Keisari, Fabiola, Antoinette, Valerian, and Felix were going to the coolest action film playing called The Black Prince Ascends. Roxanne was excited as she always wanted to see this movie so much! Now she's going with her friends to see this film for grad-bash before they part ways to their future coming. On that day, Roxanne and her twelve best friends got to the theater, got their tickets paid, bought snacks and drinks before heading inside the theater. The movie was just as awesome as everyone had said, except the prologue at the beginning; however the story line was great, the dialogue was well written and the scenes were top notched. Roxanne and her friends were enjoying the movie so much until she noticed Hyacinth and Sunniva were so snuggled together. Smiling; she was happy for them! Then, the climax of the movie is where someone came in! He wasn't a guard nor a janitor! He was dressed in a black uniform, he pulled out a gun and begin shooting! There was screams and chaos all around. Roxanne try to escape however she witnessed the horror around her and was too catatonic too move. It turns out, she was hit in the head so hard and fell unconscious but was alive. Finally when was over; the gunman escaped as he heard the police sirens. According to investigators; 56 victims were alive but in the hospital, recovering while there was 12 bodies dead. And those twelve are known as: Hyacinth Smith, Sunniva Rossi, Bastia Walker, Mateo Fritz, Olander 'Ollie' Mustermann, Tova Jansen, Deanna Stiles, Keisari Dupont, Fabiola Perez, Antoinette Lingens, Valerian Atkins, and Felix Nordmann. Roxanne was found by police, who question her and she becomes hysterical and flew into a frenzied of tears and screaming constantly like a madwoman before breaking down into tears. 

Charlotte took a job with being an assistant for the children. She worked with the children, who love her very much. The kids were: Alice Smith, Bob Mustermann, Craig Anders, Dane Jansen, Erin Perez, Faythe Rossi, Paul Atkins, Sam Dupont, Thomas Ivanovich, Walter Fritz, and Sally Nordmann. The teachers and teaching assistants adore Charlotte too; their names are Erica Stiles, Rudelle 'Rudi' Lingens, Juana deCruz, and Maira Major--Even Principal Andrea Walker likes her too! The elementary mornings go like this: There is prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, sing along, they have to do work, and one of the students have learning therapy. Then they go out for P.E., the children finally come back to go to the bathroom, a little break of snack before going back to class, and have lunch. In the afternoons; the children music, and they go outside to play. The kids in the middle school have a different lesson in class: then they go back to do their work, and finally they have lunch. They have music or some of them are having physical or learning therapy. And lastly they go home. Things got more frightened when a young, eccentric man name Saphir Norman, who is bored of the sentimental normality of his life. When he first met Charlotte; Saphir hasn’t fallen for a girl in a while, and he hooked on her. The tingle he gets in his makes him feel alive! He’s feeling awfully amorous. He writes letters to claim his love for her. But Charlotte was flattered until she is disturbed to find Saphir has an insatiable interest in Charlotte and try to advance her while declaring his love for her. Charlotte laughed, however Saphir could not stop flirting and trying to make more intimate moves. Charlotte refused him and Saphir became violent, until the teachers and assistants told him to stop pestering her. Saphir was screaming: "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?!" As Lingens and Major calmed him down, Principal Walker apologized for this and promise to make it up to her. Charlotte thanked her. Then, something changed her life forever as she got a text on her phone that said, "IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU, NOBODY CAN!!! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A TEACHER'S PET AND A PRINCIPAL'S LAP DOG!!!! JUST WAIT, I HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU!!!!" Entering inside the school; Charlotte looked in one of the classrooms to see the children having dinner but it ends up badly as she watched in horror as one of them choked to death as the other kids watch in horror. The nine kids couldn't sleep of what they saw but they finally went to sleep and one of them was found with their throat torn open. The eight couldn't stay in each of the rooms however one of them didn't believe there was something wrong here and decided to sleep but he never came out of his room. Seven waited, while they wait; they cut up some fruits and vegetables. One of them cut his hands by accident and bled to death. Now there were six of them as they were trying to probe a beehive. But one of them got stung by a lot of bees and he drowned into the river for he couldn't swim. Five left as they got lost in the woods but one of them caught by a hermit as he was never seen again. Now, four went by the sea as a whale came and swallowed one of them. Three went to another forest which was forbidden and was mauled by a bear. Two were lost and no place to go, they were dehydrated and try to find water. One of them died from lack of thirst and one was left. But in his devastation; the last threw himself off a cliff, and then there were none. Charlotte was so scared, she couldn't believe this was happening. She heard something was coming and she hid in the closet. She had to stay quiet, Charlotte didn't want to be found out. That's when the person enters and Charlotte couldn't believe who it was: Ogma Leupold, he was Danica's son! He looked around as he saw the massacre. Charlotte covered her mouth to keep her from breathing, "He killed them?! Those deadly traps, it was all him!" She thought. Then, she heard a gun go off and something fell. Charlotte was too scared but she peeked out from the door and gasped. Ogma laid on the floor, a gun was beside him as he laid there motionless. "He...shot himself?!" thought Charlotte. She rushed out, eyes blurred with tears as she couldn't believe this was happening. And she feared guns because of what happened to Ogma. However she stopped by the exit to see someone was sitting at the table motionless and Charlotte let out a scream, it was Danica's body. She had been killed by her own son! Turning the knob of the door, Charlotte rushed out in a variety of emotions: Fear and sadness. 

Meanwhile; Maggie Mae had to get into the mall. The mall was huge and big, escalators all around and shops that surround her. Above her was a large skylight, shaped like a hexagon and made the mall inside bright like heaven was shining down, a sign to say it was going to be a good day. As she was walking, she noticed something was up when she passed the entrance and only about more than a few gunmen came in and that's when it all began! A shooting, shots were everywhere. Maggie Mae was so scared so she ducked into one of the booths, pretending to be dead so they wouldn't find her. It was oh so quiet that she could hear the cheerful music playing overhead and she passed out in the silence until she felt someone beside him, "Poor sweet girl...." said a man's voice. She looked up, "Help me..." She whimpered. The man was surprised that she was still alive and helped her up. She and other survivors got out of there but she was in tears at what she saw. She heard that there were more people being held hostage. For the time being, the main goal was to finish without walking. There is, in a small national park somewhere which is a running path. This path is hardly unusual: it is roughly twelve miles long, and makes a circuit around a small lake. Most of the path is wooded, and it is regarded by the locals as a beautiful little place to take a breather and catch some peace and quiet. People who jog along the path observe nothing out of the ordinary. Lalena was running so much that her jogging came to a stop on the side of the path. Standing astride it, she drank eagerly from her water bottle. Wiping her mouth on her arm, Lalena put the bottle back and was about to run, when someone ran up besider her. "Nice day, eh?" The young man said. He was tall and thin, and wore a hooded grey sweatshirt and black running pants. His face was concealed the sunglasses and the hood which hid his face. Lalena saw nothing unusual about this. "Yeah. It’s perfect out." She remarked. The young man nodded. "Wait 'til the climax, there's gonna be fireworks!" He said, he ran off and was gone. Lalena was confused but shrugged it off. She kept on running, maybe she could see she could get through this marathon soon enough. Before the runners, crossed the finished line; A bomb went off in the city. The bomb was the biggest she’d ever seen. Lalena saw a flash of blue light, she couldn't believe this was happening! Everything was covered ashes, and made the streets look like an ashen desert, almost lifeless and hazy. No signs of anyone could be seen, smoke and piles of debris were scattering all over the city. Only about two hundred and sixty-four people were treated at twenty-seven local hospitals. Eleven days later, only twenty-nine remained hospitalized, one in critical condition. Many victims had lower leg injuries and shrapnel wounds, which indicated the devices were low to the ground. At least sixteen people lost limbs, at the scene or by amputation in a hospital, and three lost more than one limb. There were three spectators that were killed: Abisha, Jessamine, Cain, and Officer Benito. Those were friends of Lalena's as she was emotional about their deaths. She will always remember them because they helped her a lot in the struggling times with her job and life. In the meantime, Delilah worked at a charity fair when she came across three families who helped her out. The families were The Harris Family--David, Harriett, and Dewey. The Dixon Family--Eric, Jasmine, Haverine, and Chester. And The Tavish Family--Hank, Jocelyn, Chelsea, Joey, and Howie. Dewey Harris, Chester Dixon and Howie Tavish were successful high school seniors that have plans for their futures. Their coach, Ichabod McGuffin, is the one who is helping Delilah with the charity fair. Ichabod was good to Delilah, like a friend, and Delilah knows him as well as his middle aged mother name Finella. Nice people they were and they were very dear to Delilah! But there was a day that turned for the worst. 

One of the teenagers slain by school shooter, name Isidore 'Izzy' Levant, was dating his ex-girlfriend, Jorene Evans. That person dating Jorene was 17 year old Dewey Harris was one of five high school students shot in a rampage at the high school by the shooter Sade. Three students--Dewey, Chester Dixon, and Howie Tavish--died from their wounds. Izzy who was serving three life sentences for a notorious high school shooting spree, escaped from a prison but was later taken back into custody. The school shooter likely got up in the middle of the night before his sentencing to scrawl the word "butcher them all" across a prison T-shirt, a brazen move that shocked his attorney, victims' families and even the judge. After the convicted killer arrived in court for his sentencing hearing, he unbuttoned his blue button down shirt to reveal the T-shirt. There were gasps in the courtroom. Shortly after, Izzy spewed vile and unprintable words at the families of three students he killed and then laughed and smiled as they described him as an animal and a monster. There is a video of a black-clad, masked militant holding a knife then says the execution is in retaliation for his girlfriend's 'betrayal'. It then cuts away to show a man name Ichabod McGuffin kneeling next to a man who experts say appears to be the same militant who featured in the videos showing the deaths of two other men. In his speech, which seems to have been made under duress, the hostage says: "My name is Ichabod McGuffin. I would like to declare that I hold you, Dear Delilah, entirely responsible for my execution." The family of aid worker McGuffin who is being held hostage by the militants in a doomed world has urged his captors to contact them: "We are the family of Ichabod McGuffin. We have sent messages to you to which we have not received a reply. We are asking those holding Joe to make contact with us. We ask you to please release him and let him come home." But they took no heed and killed him, dismember his head! Delilah was shocked, she turned away but only a few tears streamed down her face. She wept for poor Ichabod, his family was also in hysterics. With these tragedies occurring, all five of these girls had lost a lot and seen such terror in their life. So much pain in their hearts, so they took it upon themselves to exact revenge against those that took away the only people that they care about. They will find the names of these people and avenge the deaths of their dearest friends and loved ones that they considered almost like family. Now those that took their loved ones away will pay big time. 


Jennifer couldn't get these images out of her head and doesn't know what the meaning of all this is but she would go closer however not too deep for she might go into madness like she did before.
