Chapter 9: Irresistibly Dangerous

As she was in a vehicle with her friends; Emily remembered what happened: She, Kamoku and Evan woke up to see Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly standing over them. Then, the three of them felt their arms were bound by a telekinetic force around their wrists as well as suspended up in the air. “What is this? What are you doing to us?” Emily exclaimed with devastation in her voice. Andrea explains to the three captives: “You will see the purpose of Mother’s revenge…You will know fear, pain and agony….And writhe like scum you are!!!” Andrea screamed, her powers caused the trio to react to psychic torment and they were shouting in agony as well as begging for mercy. During this process, Andrea and Mora are successful for breaking the minds of Emily, Kamoku and Evan. Thus, they are taking control. Emily, Kamoku and Evan's minds are assaulted with painful, horrifying visions, and their will broken. Emily, Kamoku, and Evan were screaming from the painful memories inside their heads. Andrea giggled at their suffering while she watched them writhed. “It’s quite like your life almost Emily, since what you are and what your father did to you. It’s not every day we get to meet a new member of the family.” Remarked Andrea, “We are alike and I feel that even if we are not related, we know each other so well.” Emily was pissed as she and the other two boys managed to get back to the ground. Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly looked back with horror across their faces. “YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME!!!!” Emily screamed hysterically. Andrea and Mora are shocked of what they were seeing before them as well as Kamoku and his friends. Sylvia, Zizi, Aricia, and Pua are in total shock and dreaded of this situation. Emily’s eyes looked while, her hair was untidy. Her hands balled into fists. "You are so cold! You are heartless! You don't know me. The only way you know how to treat people is by treating them like monsters! Well, you're the monster! And that is gonna stop! You get it? You get what I'm saying? Hmm?" She said. Mora could see some sort of fiery rage from inside of Emily, she then said: “We’re sorry…I’m sorry…” She sounded like she meant it! Emily laughed at her, “You?! Sorry?” She then snarled out, “You think you can mess with my life?! Well, I got news for you, bitches! I'm coming for you all. And then I'm coming for Abigail! And you can pass that along! TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!!” Her powers were out of control! Andrea and Mora begins to get scared, Kitty and Polly were screaming as well as babbling incoherently. Kamoku, Evan, Minako, Peyton, and Jade were terrified. Emily feels guilty, she knew she must have scared everyone but she made a vow to herself: “I promise, I promise I’ll protect everyone. Nobody is going to die at all. Never ever.” Nevertheless; Emily, Pua, Zizi, Aricia, and Sylvia had arrived to the training grounds of the 21 Guns Navy. The girls were trying to find Kamoku and the others but things didn’t go as planned! After having all their belongings; the girls are about to exit until the driver of the vehicle stops them, “Ladies…Listen, I don’t know you nor your past and I have no right to judge any of you for your actions. But at least take my word of advice—don’t live only for revenge and be careful around here.” He said. Pua and Zizi could stare him confused. Aricia rolled her eyes, “Whatever.” She said. Sylvia looked annoyed and Emily managed to say: “We’ll try thanks.” She closed the door and the five were on their way. The driver sped away and was gone; the girls were on their way to find Tate Kyan and Martin Percy. Upon entering the building, Emily and her friends found the interior of the establishment to be much more impressive than they looked. In addition to the establishment; there are apartments, skyscrapers, and other buildings. This place was truly a maze for a new corner and the map they were given, which was barely made by hand, wasn’t much help. Emily sighed, “What a pain.” She muttered. Just then; Emily found five figures, she wasn’t sure who they were but she called out to them: “Um, excuse me? You there, can you assist us?” The five figures turned, Emily was lucky to get their attention as she saw there were three guys and two girls. The first guy responded, “Yes?” Emily showed him the map, “Could you tell me where this training ground is?” She inquired. The first guy seems to know the exact place, “Oh you ladies are heading towards the training grounds huh.” He asked. Emily was relieved for having to have asked the right person which will save her and her friends from wasting unnecessarily time. Another guy asked, “You’re heading towards the training grounds? Seriously?” He turned to his friends, “Hey, guys...These girls must be the ones that Kamoku mentioned. He called them the ‘Psychos’.” Emily’s lips curled into a smile, “Kamoku told you about us, huh.” She said sneakily. First Guy just smirked, “More like ranting. He was saying how you ladies were the ‘good kind of Psychos’.” He replied. First Guy introduced himself as Tsubaki Sanjuro. The second guy was Charao Ouji and other guy was Notaku Hirai. The two other girls were Neeta Rinaldo and Kyara Santos. 

Moments later; Emily, her friends, Tsubaki and his squad entered the training grounds where Tate greets them, “Well, well. Looks like all of you are here.” Emily beamed, “Yup, we’re here.” She stated. Tsubaki points his thumb over at Emily, “Hey Kam, this is one of the Good Psychos you mentioned by right?” He asked. “Yeah, good to see you made it Em.” Kamoku greeted with a smile on his face. “Yeah, we got lost but thanks to these guys, we made it.” Emily explained. Marvin nodded, “Now that you’re all here, let’s get started.” He announced. Marvin saw Emily approaching; he stops her and said in a low voice: “Got you something Em.” He hands her a weapon. The gun had the name of Skibinski on it which Emily took it with her in stride. And so the training begins! Emily sparred with Kamoku during the battle training, “Come on Kam, get with the program.” She hollered playfully. “Quit bragging.” Kamoku said teasingly. Minako fights Pua while Jade battles Zizi. Aricia fights Peyton while Evan struggles against Sylvia. “Ohhh….” Neeta uttered softly. Zizi winced on her face, “Sorry.” She squeaked. “How do I look? I can take it!” Jade gasped out. Minako saw her face and said in a joking manner: “What happened to you?” Pua giggled. Afterwards; Kamoku, Minako, Peyton, Evan, and Jade panted in exhaustion as their opponents stood over them. Emily smiled, “Nice job.” She complimented. Tsubaki and the others were amazed by this; they turned to Tate and Marvin who were satisfied with the results. “Those girls of yours really are tough.” Tate said. “Your kiddies did excellent too.” Marvin remarked right back. “Damn, they really are ‘psychos’.” Tsubaki remarked. “Ha, funny.” Marvin said with sarcasm. “I’m serious.” Replied Tsubaki. “He’s right about these girls being the good kind of psychos.” Tate stated.” Marvin nodded, “Psychos huh.” He said as he watched Emily helped Kamoku up to his feet. “Emily and the Psychos. I like that.” Marvin smiled. A few others have encountered with Abigail but nobody says anything because they are afraid of being called insane: Kamoku saw Abigail as she was covered in red, she banged on the window and crying out: “Where are you Kamoku?!” She was angry, Abigail was hitting at the window as she screamed out. Kamoku could not shut his eyes, he was so terrified and he didn’t sleep so well that night. Separately; Onoichi, in the meantime, was trying to rest when he opens the lids of his eyes and they shot up in horror to see Abigail before him! Onoichi locked eyes with her for an intense moment before getting away. Around that time; Emily found writing on the walls with words such as White Conquest, Red War, Black Famine, and Pale Death. The four resembled the Apocalypse in the chapter of the Bible; Emily is confused by this as she wonders what they meant. And Minako stopped dead in her tracks as she witnessed the lights go out but she froze when she heard Andrea speak out: “Mina, o Mina. Look at you, you blossomed my dear.” A chill ran up Minako’s spine. “Come now, my dearest Minako; what secrets you keep away in that strong mind of yours? You pretend to be high and mighty but underneath you are just as broken as everyone else.” Minako look around her, but Andrea continued: “Your dear sister Masara is dead? Heh, heh, I have to disagree with that notion. I believe Masara has never felt so alive than ever and she’s here somewhere. Don’t fret, she’s not going to hurt you, she just wants her beloved Tate Kyan to be safe. Just to keep him safe.” Minako felt herself shaken with fear and fell to her knees. She looked down and realize something before hauling herself to the bathroom. Later, she stepped out with just a plastic bag. Kamoku noticed, “What’s up with the bag?” He asked. “N—nothing. Just having my Aunt Flo.” Lied Minako. “Huh? Aunt Flo? You have an Aunt Flo?” Kamoku asked. Minako giggled, “No, not really silly.” She said. 

However her face was white as snow. Kamoku spoke out, “It was Andrea that scared you. She scared you so bad that you accidentally leaked of ordure.” Minako gasped, she stopped. She turned around, “So?”  She asked. “She’s trying to scare me too but she can keep doing that. Somebody is going to snap and she’ll stop that. Just be careful, OK Minako?” Kamoku said. Minako is surprised by this, she smiled. “Well aren’t you the concern one. OK, I’ll be careful.” She teased but she stopped smiling and said solemnly, “I won’t let her in. I’m keeping her out.” Kamoku nodded, “Good.” He stated as he watched Minako turn and walk away. Meanwhile; Renee Irving was being chased by Kaname Thorton, she pant out of breath as she had to get away quick from Kaname. “Teague! Teague! Where are you?” She thought. She prayed, she ran as Renee did not want to die! However; Renee hid and Kaname lost sight of her. Renee sighed with relief as she sneaked away. In the intervening time; Emily, her friends, Kamoku, Minako, Jade, Peyton, Evan, Tsubaki and his squad were tasked to hunt down a Wendigo hybrid name Kaname Thorton. There was trust is gained from the others for a battle formation. Emily managed to get herself prepared with guns against the monsters, she asked to be given weapons and Neeta, out of the kindness of her heart, got them for Emily. Practically the entire military’s weaponry. “Damn, that’s gangsta!” Aricia said while laughing. “Is that a pep talk or just sounding ghetto?” guessed Tsubaki. “Neither foo’. But hey, so intense isn’t it?” Aricia said in a breezy tone. Kyara glance at her with a glare, “Do you have a boyfriend or something?” She asked. “No, wanna hook up?” Aricia said in a dull voice. Kyara blushed and looked away. Aricia giggled softly and patted her shoulder, “I’m kidding.” She said. Kyra nudged away, “Please…Don’t touch me.” She muttered. “All right, fine. Can’t take a joke huh.” Aricia said in defeat. “OK, that’s all the rest of them.” Neeta stated. “Uh uh. No. No, no, no, no! Hand it over.” Commanded Emily, she was no fool. She sounded impatient. Kyara rolled her eyes but she rummaged through the stuff while Emily decreed: “Left, left, ugh! Other left, other, other!” She saw the last weapon handed to her and took it, “Mmm-hmm, thank you!” Emily answered. “You really think this is going to work?” asked Tsubaki with a skeptical look. Emily gave him a look, “Got any other ideas?” She inquired. Tsubaki thought for a moment before he requested, “You’ve seen Kamoku and the others turned into their supernatural forms?” Emily look at him, “Yes.” She said. “All right, we’re gonna show you what we can do.” Tsubaki said with a smirk on his face. And so he and his friends transformed. Tsubaki Sanjuro turns into an insane jester with checkered suit of green and purple, wielding guns in his hands. Neeta Rinaldo transforms into a blonde haired girl with bunny rabbit ears on her head and wore a black dress with her shoulders exposed. She also has a fur around the hem of the off the shoulder. Kyara Santos turns into a red haired and a gray corset with black leggings. Charao Ouji turns into a full body humanoid with a silver color and has orange eyes. And also an orange smiling lips. And Notaku Hirai turns into a cyborg man with one side and has a mouth piece over his mouth. He wore a brown jacket and white buttoned shirt, red lining on the inside of the jacket. Emily’s eyes widened, “Holy shit.” She stated. “I know, terrifying. No, petrified aren’t you?” Tsubaki inquired. “Your forms are petrifying here but you don’t scare me. This is amazing.” Emily said with excitement. 

Tsubaki and the others turn back to normal. “All right, listen up!” Tsubaki announced, he explains the situation and Emily nodded from there. “…While you Psychos take the others.” He concludes. Emily and her friends are exchanging glances before turning back to the others. “Do you actually believe we’re gonna let you guys that easily?” asked Aricia. Everyone turned with shocked glances. “What?” asked Kamoku. “Come on, I know we’re a team but I promise myself I ain’t losing you people. All right?” Emily replied with a smile. She got stares of disbelief in her direction. “Must you always be so headstrong?” Tsubaki asked in a biting tone. Emily smirked, “No, it’s more fun that way. Every second counts.” She replied. Neeta smiled a bit. “Wow, she really is stubborn.” Kyara remarked. “I like her.” Charao said. Pua smiled. Zizi stifled with a giggle. Aricia bite her lip and Sylvia smirked. Emily laughs a little, “How sweet!” She said. Later; Emily, her friends, Kamoku, his friends, Tsubaki and his squad are out there while they all took down the Wendigos. During that time, there was a familiar voice calling out: “Sylvie! Sylvie!” Renee exclaimed. Sylvia turned her head as she saw her and Teague approaching her. “Teague? Renee? What are you guys doing here?” Sylvia asked. “So glad you’re OK.” Renee said. “Sorry we didn’t call you but Renee was going haywire and wanted to come and warn you.” Teague explained sheepishly. “About what?” Sylvia asked. That’s when Renee begins talking and giving out warnings over Abigail to the others however Sylvia, the girls, Tsubaki and his squad thought she was having a panic attack and thought nothing of it. Emily, Kamoku and his friends somehow believe her but they didn’t say anything. Yet. However, Renee kept looking over her shoulder and drew pictures. When Emily took a peek, she was shocked to see that was people that were subjecting themselves and others to flogging in a brutal manner. Another was of someone being locked in the closet as they screamed. The words ‘Conquest’, ‘War’, ‘Famine’ and ‘Death’ were printed in red as the marker bleed onto the paper. And also a woman who looked evil as she was nailed. Emily was terrified, she had never seen such horrifying pictures being drawn well however she was scared and cannot believe it. Then, she saw something coming into her head and saw the object coming at her and her friends. She got everyone’s attention. “Incoming!” cried Emily. Everyone dodged it. “Wagh!” Zizi yelped. She ducked from the attacks. Scaring and taken aback; Renee was screaming, “SEE, THAT WAS HER!!! IT WAS HER!!! IT WAS HER, SHE DID THAT!!! ABIGAIL CARROLL DID THAT!!!” She continued to chant that as Teague try to calm her down but the screaming drones caused everyone to become irritated. In his frustration; Tsubaki slapped Renee, Teague stepped in. “Don’t do that, please!” He claimed towards the young man. “Sanjuro! That wasn’t necessary!” declared Emily. But Tsubaki wasn’t listening. “Why can’t you be normal? There is no Abigail Carroll!” Tsubaki exclaimed. “You didn’t have to hurt her like that, seriously?” Emily protested. While they were bantering; Renee turned around, her eyes widened. “GET AWAY!!!” She screamed. Emily stopped; she knew Abigail was there, her heart pounded in her chest. “GET AWAY!!!” Renee yelled again. “Renee?” Sylvia asked. “Renee, please! Stop this!” Teague begged. “Teague! Help me!” Renee cried. She turned back to where she was looking at, “NO, YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE YOU HARPY!!!! LEAVE THEM ALONE, GO AWAY!!!” She let out a blood curdling scream before she fell to the ground into frenzied convulsions. Foam at the mouth, her lips is bleeding. Teague grabbed Renee and gently shook her. “Renee? Ren, answer me! What’s wrong?” He exclaimed. He tries to get her to answer but Renee stammered and gurgled. Emily turned to everyone’s shock expressions, “GET THIS GIRL TO THE MEDICS—NOW!!!” She demanded. Later; Renee is in a bed and unconscious. The others had already left as well as Emily’s friends. Only Emily decided to stay with Teague. However after being with Renee for awhile; Emily has a vision of Kamoku and everyone else were in dangers. Emily has a voice in her mind whispering: “Emily, hurry!” She excuses herself and told Teague to stay with Renee which he agrees with. 

In the meantime; Emily ran fast in the direction where her friends are and she could see a clairvoyant vision. In the meantime, there seemed to be a battle. Kamoku and the others arranged to face their enemies of familiar people. “When is she coming?” Prisca asked in the most taunting voice. Kamoku, his friends, Pua, Zizi, Aricia, and Sylvia prepared for battle. “Soon.” Kamoku stated. “I always wondered when soon is.” Hiraku Nagumo stated with a smirk on his face. Just then, Emily leaped behind him and almost knocked him over as she land on her feet perfectly. All eyes were on her, Emily cracked a smile: “Have I come at a bad time?” She asked. The enemies were shocked to see her walk about in a casual manner. “You shouldn’t have come here.” Kanchan Majid remarked. “We shall take the lives of all your friends.” Prisca taunted. “Sounds very dangerous.” Replied Emily. “And so are you.” A voice said. Emily turned around and gasped. Kamoku and Onoichi were equally shocked. “Hello Emily.” Said Michael. Pua let out a yelp, Michael grinned: “I missed you all so much.” He purred in a sing song tone. “You missed us? Don’t you remember that you chased us? Scared us out of our wits?” Emily reminded. Michael was playful and pretending he didn’t know he was terrorizing them, “But I thought we were playing a game.” He said. “Well, it wasn’t fun.” Kamoku stated. This made Michael with mock surprise, “Really? Kamoku, haven’t you told her of that game I set up for you and your precious knight Onoichi?” He asked. Kamoku’s composure looked tense. “Shut up.” He said coldly. “You thought he was dead and was devastated. Oh how tragic.” Michael said, sniggering. Kamoku transformed as he exclaimed: “I said, SHUT UP!!!” He tried to attack his tormentor who just swiftly dodged that and was behind him. “Miss me! Now you have to…” Michael retorted but was hit from behind by Emily who exclaimed, “Take that!” However she found that he was gone! “I did hit him, right?” Emily asked. “You never hit a monster with that thing yet?” Kamoku inquired. Emily smiled, “You’d be surprised.” She remarked. However, she got hit in the chest with a piercing dagger. But she managed to pull it out while Kamoku watched in horror. “OW! I’m OK. Yup, nothing to it….Oh yeah! Cue the quads!” groaned Emily. 

Tate smirked as his squad members stared in utter confusion and astonishment. “She’s in pain but she’s a fast healer. Comes with the territory for a Grynte.” Marvin said. Emily flexed her arms and sighed, she took the dagger that impaled her as she swung it away but to her surprise, she saw that she struck a Wendigo in the chest and killed it. Emily laughed, “Wow! I didn’t know there was one there. I didn’t foresee.” She remarked. Everyone was shocked by this and didn’t say anything. “That was great!” Tsubaki said, hugging her. Emily pulled away gently, “Sorry, um not a hugger. But thanks.” She said. Tsubaki looked guilty, “This isn’t about the incident about me slapping Renee across her face right?” He asked. “Nah, you’re forgiven.” Emily said with a comforting grin. There was a scream and everyone turned to see but were horrified. Renee could feel the knife poised at her throat, Kaname smirked at his arrogance while enjoying the fear in her eyes. “Let her go, you bastard!” Sylvia called. “Don’t hold your breath; I won’t let her get her away from me again!” Kaname claimed. “Count on that.” Emily dared, her psychic powers caused chaos and pulled Renee towards her and Renee staggered to Evan, where he has something up his sleeve. He whispered to her, “Follow my lead. Got it?” Renee nodded. Evan turned to an angry Kaname with a sneer on his face. “What’s the matter? Would you like your ‘prey’ back?” mocked Evan, holding his weapon at Renee who looked calm. “Don’t you mock me!” warned Kaname. The blade grazed at the temple of Renee’s forehead, blood oozed a little. “Come on, she’s bleeding quite a bit.” Called Evan, a grin on his face. Kaname was furious, he lunged over but he got caught in the trap as all the others finished him off, killing him. Everyone was relieved that Renee was safe but she pushed Evan away and ran away while the others followed in pursuit. Concerned with her sanity. As she found a dead end; Renee stood on the ledge, everyone try to calm her down but Renee called out: “Can’t you see? You can’t get rid of Abigail Carroll!!!” As soon as she said that; Andrea possessed Renee and spoke through her with these haunting words: “I’ll make a wager with you, I’ll make a bet. The more you deny me, the stronger I get. You start to change when we get in. See our power growing right under your skin.” She giggles as she twirls in Renee’s body, “Oh come now! Come one, come all, come see what’s underneath!” Andrea stated as Renee is possessed. Andrea left her; Renee nearly fell but was caught by Teague and pulled her close to him. Renee was unconscious and she was carried back to get away from the area and back to the base. Emily, Pua, Zizi, Sylvia, Kamoku, Minako, Peyton, Evan, Jade, Tsuabaki, Charao, Notaku, Kyara, and Neeta were in the bus when a voice squawked on: “Hello? Is this the 21 Guns Navy by any chance?” Everyone was surprised, “Yeah? Who is this?” Tsubaki asked. “That doesn’t matter, put your trust in me and I’ll get you out of this alive.” The voice said from the radio. “Ohhhh—kaaaaayyy, where are you?” asked Minako. “I’m…Hang on a second.” The voice said. Just then; everyone freak out to feel that the bus was levitating from the ground. “Driver, keep both hands on the wheel. Everyone hang on!” The voice commanded. “Wendigos are on your tail.” Tsubaki started to say, “How do you--?” But he was cut off mid-sentence and saw out the window that monsters were going crazy while pursuing the bus. “Holy cow!” Emily exclaimed. 

They all saw the Wendigos were taken out one by one of supernatural forces. After a swarm of Wendigos taken out in such a brutal manner; the bus landed safely and nobody got hurt. Though relieved, some were overcome with shock over being alive while also fainted of feeling at ease. They all found it hard to believe they were all alive! The voice from the radio quipped, “See? I’d never go back on a promise.” Minako smiled, “You saved us! Th—th—thank you. Can you tell us your name? Please?” She stammered. “Can’t. Edom Hiroki will suspect of an enemy spy, I am no foe but I don’t want any of you to get hurt.” The voice replied. Minako was surprised that this person knew Edom Hiroki! “Who are you? What are you?” Kamoku asked. “Just want to see how impressive the 21 Guns Navy can do.” Said the voice, the voice paused and then reply: “And I want to know Emily Grynte.” Emily was shocked by this. “How did you know my name?” She demanded. The communication cut off, Emily was frantic: “Hey! Come back! Answer me, how do you know my name?” She exclaimed. No one replied, Emily sat back down and her fist slammed on the cushions of the seat. “Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!” She muttered. Kamoku glance at Emily with concern. “Em.” Kamoku whispered. Just then; Emily has a vision of Andrea and the other sisters begin to scream like crazy. Then, the next minute happen: Michael Tanaka, Hayato Suzaku, Stephanie Dorian, and Prisca Ling turn around in horror to see a woman in a black leather Victorian gown. Alongside the woman were four young girls each wearing red, blue, purple, and pink. “Greetings, have you met our mother?” Andrea asked while in a red dress. Michael and Hayato were shocked to see the woman in the black leather gown but it changed to a pink, teal and navy floral butterfly printed dress that exposed her shoulders and no straps. She smiles however her appearance changed: She wore a long strapless black dress with side slits of the gown, pale skin, scraggly black hair, deeply hollow eyes, and black lips. Her flowers in her hair and crown become black locust thorns and bird’s foot trefoil flowers. But there were other flowers too: Blood-flowers, false indigos, delphiniums, orange lilies, marigolds, angel’s trumpets, and belladonnas. “Get away from my daughters, you son of a bitches!!!” She exclaimed. Emily saw in the next moment that Andrea raised her knee in between Stephanie’s legs as she caressed her face; Andrea leaned into Stephanie’s neck while she grinned. Mora has her left hand on Prisca’s waist and the right on her thigh. Mora giggled with great excitement, “I think I’m in lo—ve!” She gushed. Andrea grind her knee in between Stephanie’s legs, Stephanie gritted her teeth as Andrea was saying: “You dirty little angel, I know you want it. Is this how much I care?” Mora place her hands on Prisca’s hips while she said, “You’re being such a tease. Don’t you want it?” Prisca begin to whimper as Mora moaned: “You’re going to make ma a lot of happier.” Andrea’s knee was still in the spot however Andrea’s hand had a cigar remaining unlit as she put it in between Stephanie’s breasts. She thrust and rubs it while Stephanie’s bust was pressed against. “Be a good girl and don’t say anything, I want to show you how much I care.” Andrea purred. Mora heaved her breathing much harshly as she was struggling with her own words, “Don’t tell…It’s our secret…Now, close your eyes.” Once it was all over; Andrea turned to sneer down at Stephanie and Prisca, “Thank You for making me feel like a woman.” She said, and then she sniggered as well as her other sisters. Emily was so alarmed by the visions as her eyes rolled back and falls cataleptic for awhile. She wakes up as she finds herself in a mist-like background. She then saw someone was coming: The girl with fair skin, waist-length hair fashioned into a Hime cut, topped with a large red bow, and golden cat-like eyes. She is always seen barefoot. 

She dressed in a red pinafore atop of a white dress with a black ribbon tied around her neck. Her skin was also notably smooth and seemed to lack any trace of blemish. This was Masara Hayate! “Who are you?” Emily demanded. “I think you know very well who I am.” Masara stated. “You’re Minako’s sister. Masara, wasn’t it?” Emily inquired. “Yes, I’m so glad you know me.” Masara said, she gestured behind Emily who turned and looks shock to see who it was. There was a tall ghostly female humanoid with a white-grey colored body and empty black eyes. Her eyes look almost human-like, and her mouth hangs open with no teeth showing, as if it is broken or dislocated. Her ears are also more bat-like and pointy, and her dress also appears to be a slightly darker shade of red than normal, and there are her legs should be as most of her lower torso has been melted though she has longer legs as this could be a delusional, and it is currently unknown why. She can be seen with a tear of blood pouring out of her left eye socket. This was Kohaku Ritsu! “Who are you?” Emily asked. “Who am I, you ask? Why, I’m just a fallen angel that plummeted into your head, you rang?” Kohaku asked. “You OK? You look like your teeth are brok—Whoa!” Emily exclaimed. She saw that the teeth weren’t dislocated. There were nail-like teeth in her mouth, no not teeth—Fangs! “You have fangs!” Emily said. “You’re the second person to be shocked by this.” Kohaku remarked. She turned with a smile and said, “Am I right my dear friend?” Emily looked over to see who she was talking to and gasped to see the figure before her. At first glance; the silhouette revealed itself to be red-colored figure in the form of a very tall, humanoid-like being with no face. But changed into a female that has a large grin, a vest, buttoned pants, shoes, and gloves. She walks around with her hands tucked behind her back. The name was Elmira Akagi. “You really shouldn’t trust the Hiroki clan. They are evil people as well as Michael Tanaka and Hayato. Even Gideon Sullivan and Constable Lazarro.” Elmira pointed out. “Why?” asked Emily. “These people we mentioned are evil.” Elmira explained briefly. “What do you mean by that?” Emily asked. Masara, Kohaku and Elmira show Emily a vision: 

She then saw a vision where she saw a tower where Lily is in there and she was looking out the window. She dared not turn around as she heard a voice asked: “A little too cold up here?” Lily just shook her head, “I don’t think so.” She said. “You look chilly.” Michael teased. Suspicious; Lily whirled around and saw his posture was casual and calm. “What do you want with me?” Lily asked. “To be friends.” Michael replied. Lily looked at him square in the eye and she says in response, “We don’t need to be friends.” Michael seemed surprised while Lily then concludes her answer, “We’re enemies.” Michael said in response, “We are.” Lily and Michael stared at each other intently. Michael smirks at her, “I like you Lily White. Shall I call you Lily White?” He asked. “Sure, I mean I don’t remember my last name or anything from my life.” Lily replied. Just then, she begins to have giddiness. And she fainted while her unconscious body disappeared and it was seen floating out there as Hayato and Michael headed out as they couldn’t believe what they saw. Four figures carried the unconscious Lily away from her prison however it was four banshee-like harpies with furies in their blood. Michael and Hayato were shocked to recognize only one by the name of Bich Yabusaki! Bich smirked as Michael and Hayato looked shocked but that wasn’t the only thing—they saw Andrea and her sisters smirking at the shocked glances of the gentlemen. Emily awoke in the same vehicle where everyone was peering at her with concern. “Em, you all right?” asked Kamoku. “Yeah.” Emily said in a dazed voice. She sat up as she told everyone, “I’m OK guys. Really, I am.” Just then, Evan is shocked to hear from the radio of Andrea’s voice speaking to a familiar girl’s voice. “Moya, do you want to see your big brother so badly sweetie?” She asked in a honey like voice. Moya responds, “Yes. Please, I had so much fun with you but I miss my big brother. I hope to see him soon.” Evan was frozen with fear, hands are clenched into fists. Sylvia put a hand on Evan’s hands. “Relax, what did I just say? I promise we’ll get her back.” She assured him. Evan sighed; he was growing anxious and just upset. Sylvia and Tsubaki were concern by Evan’s state. For the time being; Lily woke up to see Artem and Jerome as she is happy to be with them. There were a lot of weird things with Lily that Artem and Jerome noticed this: First off, she would talk to herself when she was alone. If anyone listened in, she would stop talking and deny of talking to herself. She would act dumb in the process; she wouldn’t come clean about it. When she was in public places; she would talk to herself but no sound—only her mouth moving to the words she was mouthing to. She didn’t want to cause a scene that would draw inappropriate nor humiliating attention to herself! The second weirdest thing about her was she hated sitcom laugh tracks; she would run away and hide to get away from the noise because it made her feel emotionally terrorized. Even people who speaks in a nasal voice which is much louder than everyone else's voices around them. And also other people’s obnoxious laugh whether it’s loud and honking, donkey-like nasal bray, like a hyena suffering through an epileptic fit, or a guffaw so bad that it is equivalent to dragging one's fingernails down a blackboard. Their voices are no different: The sound of this person’s voice is stuck in her head, and now even tuning out the volume of that voice doesn't help. 

Lily would become rude to these people, she didn’t have anything against race or religion or orientation; she’s just oversensitive to loud noises depending on how loud it was. Something about her ears was somehow super-sonic as she could hear sounds from far away as she is the only one who hears it. Artem could see how devastated she was, Lily denies anything was the matter with her. Watching her write in her diary; Artem recalls what happened: He trots off to Gideon and the other gentlemen as Sullivan was talking about Lily to the gents, “My mate Artem, swindling with a strange girl.” The guys cheer in encouragement but Artem laughs as he looked embarrassed. However; Artem begins to pander towards them, “Now, now, I find those cute strange gals to be sweet and fragile.” Gideon smirked at him, “I'll bet you do, you little sleuth, and she could give you a flash of her Strawberry creams. Mmm, delicious isn't that right?” He remarked cruelly. The other guys laugh.  Artem joins in, laughing in spite of himself. Later, Artem saw Lily walking alone and he joins her. “Strange of you to walk here by yourself.” Artem asked. “Yeah, guess I’m an oddball huh.” Lily said. “No, of course not. You are perfectly fine.” Artem assured her. “Guess being found by you and Jerome was the biggest mistake. I guess that’s why you found me. Swindling with a strange girl.” Lily pointed out. This stunned Artem quite a bit! “What?” Artem asked. Lily was walking from him, “Oh, please. I only found you interesting because I thought you might actually be worth my time.  But you are just a snob. A wannabe snob.” She said. Artem was trying to catch up with her, “No, I’m not.” He was saying. Lily looked at him with a glare, “I saw you making fun of me with those guys, even that nouveau riche.” She replied. Artem felt guilty, “I wasn't making fun of you.” He said. Lily look away, “Give me a break, you're so full of it. Maybe I could flash my 'creams' at you any day of your life! Maybe I'm 'delish' huh.” She said. And then she turned on heel and walked away. Artem watched her, feeling guilty. In the present, he found Lily with sunglasses and writing in a journal. “Hello.” He said. Lily closed her book. “Hi.” She said, not wanting to turn around. “I’m terribly sorry; I didn’t mean to laugh at Gideon’s stupid comment. You were never a mistake to be found, never. And I’m not that kind of lad to expect a girl to flash her creams at me. Honest. I was a fool and I want to make it up to you.” Artem said. Lily looked up at him. “How?” He asked. Moments later; Lily was seated at the table, where she saw chocolate cupcakes there. Artem sat across from her with a glass full of whiskey. “What a great bribe to make it up to me.” Lily said. “This isn’t any ordinary cupcake. Taste one and find out.” Artem explained. Curious to know what he meant; Lily took one and bits into the cupcake but almost choked however she swallowed. “It has booze in it.” Lily said. Artem looked smug, “I know.” He said. He took a sip of his glass in the whiskey. “This is dangerous, you know that right?” Lily said. “Just take it slowly.” Artem assured her. Lily took another bite and swallowed, she smiles nervously. Later on; Lily and Artem were laughing, intoxicated from the alcohol in their system and joking to themselves. In the midst of all this, Lily climbed onto Artem’s lap. She was trying to be seductive but instead she looked silly which made Artem laugh. “What are you doing silly girl?” He asked. “Making fun of those libidinous hussies with faux breasts and sleazy asses, thinking they are so alluring that guys want to grope at.” Lily said. “Nothing is so alluring about fake creams with silicone in them. They are the impediment of hardcore loose women. But girls like you differ from the norm.” Artem agreed, putting out his opinion. Both of them laughed again. However, Lily caressed Artem’s head as she muttered, “I’m so jealous, you have baby blue eyes. They are so pretty.” Artem just rolled his eyes and responded, “Been told that many times.” Lily didn’t know what she was saying while drunk but what she said made Artem feel ardently stimulated. “Even if you looked at me with absolute contempt, I always thought you were just scrumptious.” She leaned over and locks lips with Artem. The kiss was slow and sensual, sensation of being so intimate with another living person is hard to describe. The kiss begins to run through them like an electric current. It makes a tingle in both of them. It linger while also aggressive where her leg accidentally brushed on Artem’s thigh. 

Inside of Artem, his blood flow engorges the three spongy areas that run along the length below as it grows enlarged and firm; the skin down there is lugged tighter, and pulled up against his body. Lily pulled away, terrified. Artem looked rather shameful and looked away as Lily heard the phone ring and said half yelping, “I’ll get it!” She reached for the phone and almost dropped it. “’Ello?” She managed to say. Lily listened for a few minutes, “OK. All right, I’ll let him know. No, no, no. Its fine, he and I woke up from a nap.” She said. Artem stifled a laugh but he brought his knees up. He tries to calm down as his breathing was shuddering. After talking on the phone for a little, Lily said goodbye and hung up. “Jerome said we have to come over. I ask if I could come, he said it was fine and we have to be there.” She reported. Artem sighed, “Stupid Gideon is going to be there.” He said. Lily kissed Artem’s forehead, “I know. I’ll be able to handle him.” She said with a wink. A little while later; Lily, Artem, and Jerome entered the room where they see Cherie on one side and Gideon is on the other. Gideon smirked at the arrival of Lily! “Ah, hello there. I see you brought the virtuous baby doll.” Gideon said with a pompous expression that masks his arrogant smirk. Cherie glares at Gideon, eyeing him with disapproval frowns. Lily just smile, Artem faked a grin as well but Jerome was trying to be polite. Lily begin to look around the body parts, not saying anything but a professor appeared to put a body in the room to study upon. He was wheeling in the gurney. Lily looked over, “There’s a body in there.” She said. The professor looks at her, “Um, yes. It is.” He said. “I always want to see a dead body cut open.” Lily remarked. The professor was startled, Gideon was puzzled by this and the others were rather shocked by that statement. The professor walked away who was scared by the strange girl and her eerie fascination, Lily looked at the gurney of a corpse as she could see it was cut open and its organs. “Wow.” She said. “Yes, fascinating isn’t it?” Artem asked. Lily looked it over, she turned to him and asks: “Can I touch it?” Artem and Jerome exchanged glances before Artem nods and give her gloves. Cherie was surprised as Gideon was shocked to see a girl like Lily to be fascinating in organs so Lily put on the gloves and picked up with gloved hands holding the bleeding heart, Lily examined it like a glowing ball of light. “It’s so beautiful, hard to believe this vascular muscle is the heart. Then again, it makes me feel better that humanity is not so different at all.” Lily said in a dreamy tone. Artem and Jerome were shocked at her words. 

Cherie glanced at her with an amazed tone and Gideon was enamored by the peculiar, fearless, and extraordinary girl holding a heart in her heads, as she found it darkly pleasurable. Lily did not pay attention to the stares; she was too focused on the anatomy of real body parts. Lily placed the heart down, she used her rubber gloved hands and fingers over the lungs as well as the stomach and the intestines. She traced her fingers over nerves, arteries, and veins while muttering things like: “Oooh…Oh, wow…Wow, so pretty…” Gideon was captivating with Lily, he stared at her with lust in his eyes. He reached a hand towards Lily to touch her but he felt himself shoved, Gideon looked up to see a woman in black with her sleeved arms around Lily. Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly glared at Gideon. Only he, Jerome, and Artem could only stare in horror! Cherie was confused by the strange yet horrified expressions on the boys’ faces. She looked and saw only four girls as well as a woman surrounding Lily, who didn’t notice them. Though she heard the few bits of crooning to the German song ‘Ständchen’, it was the singing that sounded pretty: “Leise flehen meine Lieder, Durch die Nacht zu dir; in den stillen. Hain hernieder, Liebchen, komm zu mir! Flüsternd schlanke, Wipfel rauschen, in des Mondes Licht; des Verräters feindlich Lauschen. Fürchte, Holde, nicht.” Later; Lily was enjoying the outdoors when approached by Cherie who compliments her, “You peculiar interest really was interesting to watch. How did you do that?” She wanted to know. Lily shrugs, “I don’t know. I just have a fondness to things like that. It sounds macabre.” She said. Cherie chuckled, “No, it’s not strange but it’s peculiar. Is there is anything else you want to add? Any other strange things you want to share?” She said. Lily explains she can see ‘angels’ and describe their appearance: They were slender, beautiful, pale skin, dark eyebrows, long wavy platinum blonde hair, brown eyes, has both crimson lipstick and nail polish, white dress with lace ruffles, white pearl jewelry, silver-white crown with blue gems, white lace up and short high heel boots. They each wore some sort of jewelry: A pendant which was hematite and burnished gold tone necklace with a crescent moon and angel wings designed on a blue opalescent background. Cherie realized Lily is being bewitched in an illusion made by Ophelia and her four daughters to lure her. Back with Artem; He talked to Lily for a bit in a discussion: “From what I know about you, I am surprised you managed to stay this long.” Lily remarked. Artem gave her a look, “What do you know about me?” He asked. Lily held up the Moneta as she said, “Everything.” Artem looked upset, “Then you know to stay away from the Moneta. Stay away from my past.” He warned. Lily felt bad, “I'm sorry Artem, but I've seen what your father did to you. The agony he put you through. I can help you.” Artem was annoyed, “I don't need your help.” He snapped. Lily smiled and replied, “Don't kid yourself, you needed my help last night, it's not just me you are walking away from. Here you have the chance to be part of something much bigger than yourself. I won't stop you from leaving.” Lily said. “You won’t? Hmm, I’m not going anywhere darling. You don’t have to kid yourself so easily.” Artem said and he left the room while Lily watched him go. The next day; Lily was wearing a skirted bikini, she was afraid of entering the water because it was cold. The beach water wasn’t sea salt kind, but more like a lake. However, Lily never liked icy cold water but she forced herself anyway. She let out a yelp because it was so cold but she swam and she was babbling things to herself. But calms down when she noticed a creature stalking her. Lily thought it was a human but as it got closer, it wasn’t. It was a Wendigo! Lily managed to get out of the water and walk away without making a scene but heard the Wendigo behind and it pounced on her while slashing her clothing. Lily managed to hid herself when she heard a familiar voice calling her name and Lily calls out: “Don’t come near me! My—my bathing suit is in pieces.” She hides again. Lily try to conceal her nakedness as her arms were across her own chest, hands rubbing her biceps and she let out a gasp-like sigh. “Lily, what happened?” Artem called out. “A Wendigo attacked me, my swimsuit—it’s ruined!” There was a cushion plop and Lily looked over to see a heavy weight towel there. Artem’s voice ring out again, “You can use that towel, for now at least.” Lily nodded, she took the towel as she stammered while wrapping it around her small and thin body, “Th—thank you!” She makes sure the towel didn’t slip off. She heard commotion where Artem was trying to explain but the constable was talking with him and he mentioned something, something about a condition: “Let’s see…highly strung, inclined to flights of the imagination, classic circumstance of womanly frenzy. Inoperable, some say. I disagree.” Lily keeps herself concealed and puts on her sandals as she walked over. “Is there a problem?” Upon hearing her melodic voice, the constable turned and his eyes looked like they were going to pop out. Lily noticed the towel, “Oh so sorry about this but I have a wound on my back and I was attacked by a Wendigo. I didn’t mean to be like this. This isn’t a problem yes?” She said. She wasn’t a foreigner but she said that ‘yes’ in a playful manner because she liked it. “We didn’t know miss, that’s awful.” The constable’s partner claimed. 

Smiling; Lily gussy up her hair, but her towel was slipping and yelped out of shock as she try to cover herself again. Artem and Jerome were looking away; the constable was very stunned as well as his partner and tries not to notice. Constable Lazarro couldn’t help to see the shining upon Lily’s skin which was bathed and glowed while her wet, messy hair was radiant. “Dear lady, I do apologize. I didn’t know you were attacked.” The constable managed to say however Lily was forgiving. “It’s fine. If it makes you better, I’ll get out of here and get dress in a more clandestine area.” She proposed. The constable nodded, “All right. Do…do forgive me.” He stammers. Lily beamed, “Thanks! See you around sir. Have a nice day.” She trotted away. Artem and Jerome followed behind. While they were walking; “You saved us, Lily.” Artem stated. Lily look at him in surprise, “I did? Was that constable guy causing you trouble?” She inquired. “He’s always been suspicious around me. How irritating. Can you believe it?” Artem remarked. “Gee, I feel bad. I guess everyone must really love you.” Claimed Lily. “’Love’. Come now.” Artem said while laughing a little. “No, really.  I like you.” Lily said. Artem thought she was joking, “Oh please. You of all people, I mean…” He was saying but stopped when he saw Lily’s hurt expression. “I’m sorry.” He said in a soft tone. Lily look like she was going to cry, “That was mean of you to say Artem. How could you say that?” She said. “I thought you were joking. I’m sorry. Come here, would you like me to carry you on my back?” Artem offered. Lily shook her head, “I’m a big girl.” She said. Artem teased, “Oh really?” He picked her up from the ground and whirled her. Lily giggled at this as she got on his back, “All right. I forgive you.” She said. Lily’s arms wrapped around Artem’s neck, her towel was still wrapped around her but her bosom was pressed into Artem’s clothed back. “You’re the best, Artem.” Lily whispered. She put her head against him but made sure her bosom was covered. Artem let out a low chuckle. Once again, Artem and Jerome had another demonstration! But this time, Lily attended. As Artem rants, everyone was getting excited with chuckles and whispers Gideon is the only one who was getting annoyed. He slammed his fist down on the railing, hard enough to startle everyone. “GET ON WITH IT!!!” He exclaimed. All felt silent, glares upon Sullivan from others but he took no notice. In the shadows; Abigail and her other four daughters glowered at him with rage. Lily watch the demonstration begins but then there was a sound of a low monotone and then everything in the room suffered a power outing. The power turned back on. But everyone was shocked. Panic aroused while the Nightmarchers sat and grinned at the screams of others who were terrified. 

Lily, Cherie, Gideon, Artem, and Jerome were the only ones that stood calm despite being petrified. The Nightmarchers scared everyone away while only Artem, Jerome, Lily, Cherie and Gideon remained. Abigail looked over them before she smiled and she vanished from sight. Later; Lily was taking a walk with Artem and Jerome as she managed to find out about the Nightmarchers. “Nightmarchers?” Lily asked. “They are the corruption within Abigail’s mind and she controls them. They managed to come out from Abigail’s imagination as they now are wrecking havoc. They represent Abigail’s wrath and revenge.” Artem explained. “Wow, that sounds creepy.” Lily remarked. Artem smiled while shrugging, “It is but she was damaged in the past and it made her this way.” He stated. Lily got all quiet before she said, “Artem, can I ask you a question?” Artem was curious, “What is it?” He inquired. “What if I told you I really like you?” Lily asked, “Not just really like you but more like love.” While she said this, her face went hot and red. But luckily, Artem thought she was being all playful. “I wouldn’t mind but there is one problem.” He said. “What?” Lily asked. “What if I can’t give you my love?” Artem asked. Lily smiled, she put her hands to her heart before holding her palms outstretched. “My heart is out to you, I’ll always love you—both of you!” She said. As she said this, she embraced Artem and Jerome. Artem was shocked while Jerome smiled warmly. Lily then has something in her mind and she whispered: “Em.” She pulled away, “Sorry. My friends are in trouble but I’ll be right back. I promise.” Lily said. Artem was awkward with confusion, “All right, hurry back love! Please be careful!” He called. Lily ran off and found herself being teleported where she finds herself in an area but she managed to see Wendigos. In her fear; she then somehow broke into a fighting stance as she took down the monsters within her path. Hearing the commotion; Emily recognized Lily battling the Wendigos, a shocked look on her face. Tsubaki asked her, “You know her?” Emily nodded: “Sh’yeah…” She squeaked in a soft tone. However; calamity happens that really devastated everyone in 21 Guns Navy, but mostly Tsubaki's squad members: The first victim was Charao who could feel hands wrap around his throat and choke at him so he couldn’t breathe. The bones and wind pipe broke as Chararo took his last breath! The second victim is Neeta where she was found being strangled to near death, she reached a hand out and tries to call out for help however she breathed out a gasp and her body became limp. While everyone try to escape; Kyara felt the knife at the skin of her throat as it cut deep. Blood oozed out as Kyara’s body went limp. She was no lifeless, gone and dead. And lastly, Notaku saw headlights of a car and couldn’t move, the vehicle rushed at him hard that killed him. Parts of his head was cut off! All the others were shocked, Emily turned as she saw Bonnie and Onoichi beckoning so Emily, Kamoku, Aricia, Peyton, Sylvia, and Evan followed while Tsubaki followed alongside him was Lily. Minako, Pua, Jade, and Zizi came across Edom Hiroki, his soldiers and Edom’s brother Sakiware Hiroki. It turns out Edom had instructed his men to kill Tsubaki’s squad members because of Emily and her friends involved. However; Edom demanded to know where Andrea and her sisters wandering around the place. Minako and the three other girls lead Edom inside of an empty theater. While the soldiers looked around; Edom turned to Minako and Jade, “Well? Where is she?” He demanded. Minako pointed toward the ceiling, “Up there. I know she’s up in there. Hiding. I swear!” She explained. Edom glanced over and noticed a couple of familiar hidden figures, Peyton and Evan was shocked as well as frozen with fear. Edom grinned smugly, “So it’s you two again.” He remarked. Peyton and Evan were too frighten to move when all of a sudden, a sultry hissing female voice startled everyone: “EDOM!!! DID I NOT INSTRUCT TO STAY AWAY FROM GRAHAM AND REED?!” 

Minako, Pua, Jade, Zizi, Peyton, Aricia, Evan, and Sylvia were shocked. “She’s here, Andrea!” gasped Jade. Just then, Minako was lifted from the ground by a supernatural force and hurled at the side. “DAMN YOU LITTLE PRYING VIPER!!! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU DONE?! YOU LITTLE TRAITOR!!!” Andrea screeched. The same thing happened to Jade as Andrea also screamed at her, “CURSE YOU, YOU LITTLE LYING DEMON!!! YOU ARE THE WORST!!! YOU ARE THE WORST BRAT IN THE WORLD!!! ANNOYING!!! INSANELY CRAZY!!! SCREWBALL!!!” Minako and Jade were shaken in fear, Pua and Zizi stay with them as they comfort her. “We shall take down all life in here. You cannot escape your fate.” Edom declared. “Revenge—is mine!” hissed Andrea. She caused chaos and laughing at the suffering of the soldiers. “Poor, unfortunate, foolish souls they make me laugh! Ha-ha!” Andrea resonating with manic, she sounded like she was singing but the sounds above sounds like she’s dancing. Twirling, it maybe. Sakiware spoke out, “You stupid girl! Get down here!” He then felt something tightening his throat as he chokes out, “You are supposed to be silent, little toad! Wait, yes. Perhaps it is you who is the toad.” Andrea ranted. Sakiware was struggling to breathe and Andrea giggled at his struggle. Sakiware coughed, he gagged while he try to break free however Andrea laughed in a maniacal way that frightened everyone else. Andrea then said, “Behold! He is ‘singing’ to bring down the CHANDELIER!!!” And she chortles in the most frantic way. However Sakiware was freed from the chokehold and plopped to the ground. “Enough of this!!!!” exclaimed Emily, her powers caused the soldiers to retreat out of fear. She, Bonnie, Kamoku and Onoichi appeared before their enemies while protecting their friends. “So, you’re Edom Hiroki.” Emily mentioned. “In the flesh, so we finally meet Emily Grynte.” Edom said. “Sure am. I can’t believe you killed Tsubaki’s squad members.” Emily pointed out. “They were pawns, sacrifices. Nothing to us.” Edom stated. “You caused a lot shit towards everyone, you know that?” Emily said. “What do you know?” Edom uttered in anger. “I know you have no soul; you think you can control others. You have no power over me, you don’t know me. And also, a lot of people suffered because of you.” Emily affirmed. “Nobody is suffering, you don’t have enough people.” Edom taunted. “Kamoku, Onoichi, Minako, Peyton, Evan, Jade, and Tsubaki…They’re coming with us!” Emily said, pointing to the others. “You can’t do that!” Edom replied loudly. “Yes I do, you can’t stop me! Tate and his squad, even Tadano, is coming with all of us too!” asserted Emily. “You have no right!” Edom exclaimed. “I do! I have the right; they don’t deserve this pain from your domineering ways.” Rebuked Emily. Edom felt anger, “Who do you think you are?” He demanded. “I am Emily Grynte. My friends and I are agents of Dream State. We’re here to gather allies and put a stop to these infesting Wendigos who are swarming the damn place! And pass that along to your leader. To whomever, I will stop this evil within!” declared Emily, loud enough for everyone to hear her voice. Kamoku was shocked, “Agent of Dream State?” He gasped. Emily continued to shout at him, “You think you people can mess with my life?! I got news for you, you son of a bitches…I’m going to take down the entire Wendigo hybrids and the other types of Wendigos out there! And then I’m coming after the Hiroki clan! So you can pass that along to your leader! Whoever is in charge, tell him or her I’m a nasty piece of work! ASK ANYBODY!!!” She then swiftly whisks Kamoku, Onoichi, his friends, Bonnie and Emily’s friends where they are teleported back to the agency. 

“Get back here!” called Edom. But it was too late, they were all gone! Emily brought everyone back to the agency however she was shaken. Later; Emily was working alone when Kamoku approached her. “Why didn’t you tell any of us?” Kamoku asked. Emily shrugged, “Couldn’t rush things yet.” She said. “That’s not a good excuse.” Kamoku stated. “I’m not making excuses, that’s how the agency works.” Emily said, “We’re not supposed to say anything until now.” Kamoku was shocked, “Wow. Like trying to keep a secret?” He asked. Emily nodded slightly with a shrug, “Yeah, something like that.” She grinned. Meanwhile; Lily got a letter from Cherie where she learns she’s invited to the circus and she smiles so she dresses her best while going to the event. While attending the show of a big top spectacle; Lily was watching the trapeze where an acrobatic girl was doing her stunts as she gawk in amazement by how swift and agile the girl was moving while on the bars that swung around and around. The flips the girl did was astounded, Lily applauded when she saw the girl finished her return! After the show; Lily spoke to see the ringmaster about the trapeze girl and was guided to go back in the tent with his permission. However; Lily walked to the back of the circus tent and gasped at the sight of the same acrobat girl staggering to her feet. She was cover in cuts and bleeding, Lily helped the girl up while she was shouting: “Someone, help! Medic!” This got the attention of everyone. The trapeze girl, Cherie Amory, was being treated for her injuries. As it turns out, Miss Amory was beaten and robbed. Luckily, the thieves didn’t take anything important. The ring master’s gold was stolen as well as other performer’s jewels and money was gone. Cherie couldn’t stop thanking the beautiful, mysterious Lily for saving her life. All Lily could say was, “Anything to help someone in need.” At some point; Lily noticed a superficial, spoiled young lady name Rhea who’s loaded for some suspicious reason. Lily wondered how a mean and selfish girl like Rhea could have a lot of more money than she already did! Lily decides to spy on Rhea, she quietly followed her to a shed in a backyard and saw her smoking some sort of drug. And Lily listens in on the conversation. “Oh boys, I never felt richer. That was grand on your part for that freak show!” gushed Rhea. “Hey, don’t sweat it babe. Anything to help our girl.” A boy said who was a sleazy slacker name Jarrell who kept his eyes around Rhea’s chest. Disgusting pervert. The other was Larry who looked like a high school dropout as he said, “The circus was full of those riches, guess the freaks do get paid a lot.” Then, a third guy with a tough exterior name Shamus chimed in, “Yeah but couldn’t get off nothin’ from the trapeze bitch. Shit, she’s putting up a better fight.” Rhea then said in a snobby yet dismissal tone, “Who cares! At least that flying mouse won’t be performing tonight will she?” Lily’s jaw dropped at those words. Larry laughed, “Yeah! She can’t fly so high now.” He remarked heartlessly. “Should’ve robbed her hussy ass, like the harlot that she is!” retorted Jarrell. “Mmm, yeah. And give her the time of her life.” Agreed Shamus. “Sorry boys, that lovely mound of pudding is going to be delay for you pricks.” Rhea said, “You have to admit—Trapeze Girl had it comin’ to her.” And she let out a laugh. Lily was so appalled by how remorseless the four of them were. They were victim blaming and calling her ride things. They didn’t care how nice the Trapeze Girl Cherie was so Lily decides to teach them a lesson! One day while Rhea was going shopping at the mall; Lily approached to a surprised Rhea and she introduced herself, “Pardon me. I’m Lily White.” Rhea brightened up. “I’m Rhea, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” She replied in an overly sweet voice. Lily smiled, happy to know her charms are luring the spoiled princess. It seemed that Rhea never thought of herself would be discovered for what she did. Lily and Rhea came across a creek, Rhea thought it was strange but went along with it. What Rhea didn’t know what Lily was up to, Lily was actually preparing for Rhea. To make it easier by giving her a healthy granola and a bottle of water. Rhea didn’t know that the granola bar was expired and her water was spiked! Rhea felt dizzy until she passed out. When Rhea wakes up she finds herself strapped to the wall and her limbs bounded so she can’t escape. Lily loomed over Rhea, smirking down at her and she’s about to begin the horrid surgery upon the helpless Rhea. Rhea realized what was happening and she begins to scream in terror however she is made into a lab rat! Lily smiled at her. 

“Why are you doing this to me?” demanded Rhea. “You don’t recall? You really were a temperamental with an inflated view of your own self importance huh? What about that man you were with? The one with the badly scarred face? How you were repulsed by him, you criticize him and pretend to be nice though you took fate in your own hands. You and he were by the same creek I took you. You killed him, you didn’t want him to fall for you. You stabbed him over and over again out of your own pride for what you did.” Lily reminded, “And I saw you…You dispose of the weapon….” Lily was enjoying taking an avenged plot by torturing Rhea with the same sensation and felt she was in hell burning for that time! Now Rhea has fall into the surgery. Later on, Kamoku and his friends were walking out on a path just having a conversation that involves Lily. “My, so you haven’t seen Lily?” Minako asked. “No, I haven’t. Ever since that day, I wonder if she’s OK.” Kamoku replied with a worried expression. “Maybe she needs some time alone, I’m sure she’s fine.” Jade reassured him. Kamoku nodded however he, Minako, Jade, and Evan stopped as they turned to see Peyton stopped. “Hey Peyton, what’s wrong?” Kamoku asked. Peyton glanced at his friends with a spooked expression, “Do you guys hear that?” He asked. “Hear what?” Evan inquired. “It sounds like someone’s calling for help.” Peyton insisted. The five listened and they heard a wail, there was a figure that approached the five teenagers. Hair was then shaved, eyes blood shot, there was cracked epidermis upon the flesh, skinless limbs with exposed bones and muscles. Rancid pus oozed out of it, it was disgusting! “Help me! Please, someone! Help me!” screamed the thing. Kamoku and his friends could stare in horror. For the time being; Lily was sitting at a café, she pretends to be interested in Larry on the chat site, and she attracts him and his friends, Jarrell and Shamus. Lily tells Larry she would like to hook up with the trio. Lily and Larry talked of what she described as ‘hot and heavy’. However; Lily was sickened by this, she got Larry and his pals to visit her. She tells him that her parents are gone while home alone, thus it was an invitation for the three guys. Larry talked about sicken terms such as wanting to eat her ‘cream pie’ as well as ‘pulling his own skin’. He says that he imagined himself of ‘chicken head’ her ‘soggy tunnel’, Lily was forced to read the sickened comments—she was disgusted while also getting angrier. Lily plants to torture them and thought about Cherie, she prepares for this vengeful deed on her mind. Next moments later; Larry and his friends were just outside the house. Lily opened the door, she invites the boys come in as well as she injected a needle to knock them out through their necks and arms. She took the boys to a basement and use surgery to the three guys. After being tortured for awhile; Shamus, Jarrell, and Larry escaped after waking up. They ran in different directions but Lily calmly followed without running. She saw Kamoku and his friends, she waves at them. Kamoku smiled upon seeing her and greets her: “Hey, where were you?” Lily just shrug, “Oh, I’ve been busy. I love to stay and chat but I gotta go.” She answered. And Lily strolled away. Minako watched Lily walked, she feels something was wrong. “C’mon you guys—let’s follow her.” She said. During that time; Shamus was shocked by his new appearance of a cracked torso, nearly melted limbs that exposed his skeletal parts of bones, and he bled a gallon of blood. He tries to clean up the red plasma and stop the bleeding, “Shit! The bitch cut me up so bad, why? What did I do to deserve this shit?!” demanded Shamus. 

“Oh, I’m a bitch? Ooh, sounds harsh Shamus. You should how much pain you put people through.” Lily said. Shamus whirled around, “You can’t prove anything to me you little puck bunny!” He claimed. “Maybe not but I saw you….you poisoned the food of an old woman name Charlene and you collected her fortune by pretending to be a relative. You didn’t give two shits about her. Or what about your sister Aurora? She mysteriously drowned; you beat your brother in law to death and collect their money. You didn’t care about anyone dear to you, right? They weren’t worth anything, you didn’t care for the consequences of your actions.” Lily reminded. Shamus could hear a growling sound, “What the hell is that?” Shamus demanded. There was a monster which sprouted out large, bat-like wings and claws as it has sharp fangs and it was the most horrible thing. “Meet the Grim Reaper, and he’s here to give you the time of your life.” Lily stated. Shamus was terrified, “Please no.” He begged. Lily replied in a chilling tone, “You can’t fly so high now can’t ya?” The winged creature chased a running Shamus and killed him, while Lily walked away however that smirk never left her face. What she didn’t notice was the shocked glances from Kamoku and his friends’ expressions. Moments later; Jarrell paced around as he was in the same state as Shamus was. “How could that hussy do this to me? Why would she do this to me?” He was saying to himself like a crazy person. “Don’t sweat it honey, anything to help my boy out.” Lily remarked. Jarrell turned around with a fierce look on his face, “Fix me you little poon!” He stipulated angrily. “Poon? Wow, how charming. Was Wendy a poon that you pulverized? Did you feel bad for hurting her? No, you thought she’d deserved it!” Lily clarified. “She’s nothing, she’s my little gutter hook. She doesn’t mind the pain.” Claimed Jarrell. “Your gutter hook? You never felt richer in what you did to her. You have to admit, it was grand on my part to give you and your friends a little makeover. Guess freaks like you get paid from theft and fighting for your greedy needs.” Lily answered, “It doesn’t matter now does it? You don’t care about Wendy? Her loving sister? No, women are your tools and your punching bags when you get mad.” Just then, there was a guttural cry that scared Jarrell; Lily sneered at Jarrell while the monster growled at the guy’s terrified glance, “Oh, look! My friend is here. He wants to rob your hussy ass, like the harlot that you are!” Lily said. 

Jarrell tries to fight back against the thing but he wasn’t strong enough. Lily’s face was plastered with a demented leer. Jarrell met his end, he didn’t stand a chance. She was strolling away as the smile looked wide and her face was edgy. “Whoa, did you see that?” Peyton asked in a low voice to his friends. “I never seen her act like this.” Protested Kamoku. “She’s not doing this out of pleasure; she must’ve done this out of some sort of reason by proxy.” Minako notified. Like his friends, Larry didn’t look as hot as he gazed at his own reflection. “Shit! I look like crap.” He commented. “You should. You’re repulsive inside and out.” Lily replied. Larry saw her in the looking glass and turned to face her, “You did this to me! You ruined my image! How will chicks like me now when I’m like this?!” demanded Larry. Lily took a camera out swiftly and snapped a picture, she put the camera down and leered at him, “Oh, I don’t know. I think all the females wanna a piece of your new look. Though I think the Trapeze Girl needs a little more convincing since what you and your friends did to her. You guys did really good huh, made Rhea even richer, didn’t ya?” Lily said. Larry looked at her in shock, “What did you—how did you know that?” stammered Larry. “By the way, the Trapeze Girl’s name is Cherie Amory.” Lily added, “It really doesn’t matter to you but the ‘flying mouse’ has a name and all the other girls you hurt have names. No, wait! Why should you care if they have names? Why should you care if they are smart? Or have morals? Or where they came from? Is the best thing for a sleazebag like you to bed ‘em? Have you ever thought about what’s in a woman than her sex appeal? Her education? Nah, you want her mouth sewn shut while your little happy sack does all the work? Some man you are.” This made Larry grunted, “You speak of shit! Who are you to tell me about women? Women shouldn’t be promoted at businesses in life because they are you and attractive! They are a failure and should be in the kitchen, on their knees cleaning up for guys like us! Wear sexy clothes, wear makeup or a skirt. They deserve what’s coming to guys like us!” He declared. Lily sighed, “Fine. I can’t changed your mind, I can’t even change your fate.” She stated. No soon than she spoken, the winged beast swooped in at Larry who was filled with panic. “Whoa, wait a second!” He protested. “Sorry Larry.” Lily replied with a cold tone, “I wish I could save you but you deserve what’s coming to you. Just like Rhea, Shamus and Jarrell.” She turned on her heel and walked off. Larry’s howl echoed throughout the forest. The riches and money were returned to their rightful owners and things got better for them. A forlorn Cherie was looking out the window when she notices someone coming in. She turned to see it was Jerome, who looked at her scars and Cherie seemed ashamed but the two embraced each other. Watching them; Lily thought to herself, “Was it my place? I know, I couldn’t help her sooner…I wish I did though.” She then heard Gevrog’s voice echoed in her head: “What happened to her was not your fault. Perhaps the four of them got what was coming to them but you shall learn next time and it will stay with you. You did nothing wrong but you did what you could.” Lily nodded, “Yes. I shall remember this and learn from my mistakes.” She said. She raised her arms up and begins to waltz around in the same matter as she did before. She heard broken-up voices and misfired electronics, with a combination of marching-band beat, the acoustic strums, and the reverberation synthesizers – all meticulously layered. Again, the lyrics seem to deal with searching for happiness, this time with the help of someone special as it sounded lilting and uplifting in a way through her dance. She was the only one to hear this song and nobody else. 

Kamoku, Minako, Peyton, Evan, and Jade could see her waltzing in her own world while slowly twirling. Kamoku was about to call out to her however Minako stops him. “Leave her.” She assured him. Kamoku looked at her as the others did so! “She seems content so let’s not interrupt her.” Minako reassured. Kamoku and his friends stood & gawk as Lily was pivoting in slow movement. Like an elegant dancer of grace and expressiveness! In the meantime; Artem tries to kiss Lily again but Lily shies away, “I can't...” She managed to say. Artem breathe out a shaky mouthful of air: “You know when I saw you the first time dancing--this is where the first time you came in the Velvet Ditch, by the way, in the process--I was desperate to hold you. But I couldn't because what if you thought of me as nothing.” He laughed nervously as Lily was quivering, “And then you're there again and I'm getting a second chance to make a good impression. So you say 'stop' and I'll stop.” Artem said with a sly grin. Lily nodded, “OK…” She said in a nervous tone of voice. His knee slowly brought up in between Lily’s thighs, then he starts rubbing there and Lily closes her eyes and tilts her head back. Her body is usually marked by friskiness, swelling and engorgement as well as internal enlargement below. The entire subjective sensation of being aroused. Further stimulation can lead to increased redness or darkening of the skin in these areas as blood flow increases. She could feel herself flush may extend over the chest and upper body. In the heat of all this; Lily woke up and realized it was another carnal fantasy! She begins to hit at the sides of her temples, frustrated at herself. “Dammit! Dammit!” She muttered. Lily wrote in her journal with a red face and exhaustion from her sleep: “Look, I'm no creeper and I'm trying not to be creepy but I'm also trying not to sound like overly excited fan-girl however I do want to say Artem has become my muse. So you want to know how I became obsessed with him? Well…I hope he doesn’t think I’m a weirdo or freak for saying this but I am going to regret writing this sh**! Do forgive me, anyway let’s start the story. First time I saw Artem, he was drunk sure but he looked…luscious. And then I was feeling strange after watching the trailer. Now, I got that guy in my head. I was so obsessed with Artem, now I got him in my mind. And it was so cold out. Still snowing outside. I had the heater on, and I’m not the one to push some skin in such a carnal matter but this guy just made me feel things I never felt. I was giving a thrill to, and then I had a dream…A salacious, outrageous but guilty pleasure dream. That is unspeakable and I rather not discuss this right now….This story I’m writing about is of Artem Payne. How I was inspired by such a great muse. Artem, you beautiful creature. You will always be remembered. Be loved for the dorkish, kind and possibly beloved actor and person anyone would ever meet. Perhaps one of the best people mostly too because of your friendliness. You aren't narcissistic but modest and you don't think you're that pretty. But everyone begs to differ. I love you, man!” 

As she walked out; Lily noticed something and walked over. She couldn’t believe her eyes: Lily was shocked to find a message in neat, well written inscription: “Please leave him alone. He can be whoever he wants. If you think that he does this is because he’s a bad guy, you’re being stupid and immature. You don’t know shits; no one knows what had happened n probably will never know. So stop calling Artem names when he doesn’t even know shits. I have utter faith on him, he’s loyal to his friend and he worked so hard on maintaining their friendship. I hope people will leave him and his family alone. And I hope those obsessive bastards could stop saying shits about him. Screw those stupid friggin' bitches that are spreading false rumors about Artem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREW ALL YOU FRIGGIN' ASS BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The last one caused Lily to be shaken by this, “I, too, can command the wind, little lamb! I have a hurricane in me that will strip your skinny flesh bare if you dare to try me! By God, Artem will not fall while I am through with you.” Lily was shocked that someone could see her carnal dreaming in her head and dreaded for the worst. In the meantime; Constable Lazarro recalled of Lily gussy up her hair, but her towel was slipping and yelped out of shock. He couldn’t help to see the shining upon Lily’s skin which was bathed and glowed while her wet, messy hair was radiant. Later; he was alone and praying in the cathedral, “I confess to God Almighty to blessed Mother Mary, to the archangel Michelangelo. To the holy apostles and to all the saints. And to you Father, that I have sinned greatly. In though and in my words, in what I have done. Through my fault, my most grievous fault. Lord have mercy upon me.” The constable let out a shaky breath, “Heavenly Father, forgive me for all the terrible things I’ve done. My inner conflict, my obsession for that girl Lily has been against my faith. I am following the word of the Gospel but I can’t help to feel lust for Lily.” He continues his holy entreaties, gently grunting, and purging himself, “I believe that I’m a follower over the purity and I am an intelligent, privileged than others. I am pious and more virtuous, but I can’t help to feel infatuated with dearest Lily. I see her in my mind every single day. Please do forgive me, but I have gone to the point that I don’t care if it’s wrong or not.” 

Jacindo prays frantically, “I blame her—she is the source of this sin! She has sent unholy desires into my mind and tempting to sin. Deliver me from evil, here I cannot face her. Lord in Heaven, GIVE ME SANTCUARY PLEASE!!!” He paused and catch his breath while he stated, “To stop temptation, I must kill her—If I can’t her, nobody else should claim her.” The constable had insanity in his eyes. “Heavenly Father, she must submit to me or burn into nothing.” He declared. In her sleep that night; Emily could see the memories played out and finally Emily awoke as she sat up and was fuming with anger, “What the hell Abigail? Why are you getting inside my head?” She thought with anger. In the intervening time; Andrea was listening to the album, Pretty Creepy Girls, by her favorite band: Asphalt Crystals. She was spying on Sakiware Hiroki, her face was calm but there was terror and vengeance in her eyes. “Is that him sister?” Mora asked. The first song’s chorus was playing, “Oh I’m so temperamental; I view myself larger than the greedy world. The drama is so addictive; these are the highs and lows. Can’t do anything about my ego, just deal with it. I can do no wrong, it’s everyone else to blame. After all the hell I put you through, darling you keep coming back to me ‘cause I’m so temperamental.” Andrea nodded, “Yes sister.” She said. The second song was playing, Mora smiled and she clapped her hands. The second song’s chorus played: “I just want to mess around, I can dispose you anytime. They say I’m a heartbreaker, I don’t like relationships (Oh baby, I just cannot commit)! They say I’m a hussy because I don’t feel love (I’m free and proud, you can’t stop me now)!” Andrea’s hands clutched at the railing, more of the songs’ choruses playing: “So clever, you think you can leave me? That’s not gonna happen darlin’. So cute but you have no depth, no soul that anyone like me would become attach to break me into pieces. I get the upper hand, not you. I wear the pants, not you….I’m not really dead, I’m alive and yet I’m lifeless inside. How come I haven’t experience this before? Should I end it all and suppress it? Look at everybody; they have lived it but not me. Oh, I am lifeless inside I’m lifeless….Sweetie I love you. Why do you think I’m blinding the faults? I’m scared, upset, why don’t you love me? You provoke my wrath; I want retribution….Passion for equals, deep within is pressure from the crowd. I know now what my battle stands for; I fight and hide though I’m a victim being pressured….O, things can go wrong with something called love. It can break the trust of a couple. We love as people but can we hate how we live it?...Love doesn’t last, change our minds towards each other. Easy come, easy go. Hey sugar, wanna get together and not be lonely or should I go find a loner hound dog? Hey sugar, I’m so messed up, wanna be with a gal like me?” Andrea turned to Mora and asked with a smile, “Well Morena, are you ready?” She asked. Mora nodded, “Yes Sister.” She declared. In the interim; Lily was writing something in her journal: “The Innocent, the Utopian and the Dreamer who are free to be you and me. The Caregiver, the Saint, and the Supporter love your neighbor as yourself. The Lover, the Partner, and the Friend--You’re the only one. The Creator, the Inventor, and the Artist--If you can imagine it, it can be done.” Lily was trying on different clothes: Black and white distressed striped dress with red trim, lace-up detailing on the waist, halter strap and black tulle underlay. Black with filigree crocheted detailing and lace off-the-shoulder panel. Back zipper closure. Black velvet dress with black cord detailing, button accents and red lining. Side zipper closure. Black cardigan with an ivory lace yoke and button-up closure. 

Lastly, the final outfit was a strapless dress with front knot detail. She was busy singing to herself: “I just want to mess around, I can dispose you anytime. They say I’m a heartbreaker, I don’t like relationships, They say I’m a hussy because I don’t feel love...So clever, you think you can leave me? That’s not gonna happen darlin’. So cute but you have no depth, no soul that anyone like me would become attach to break me into pieces. I get the upper hand, not you. I wear the pants, not you….Sweetie I love you. Why do you think I’m blinding the faults? I’m scared, upset, why don’t you love me? You provoke my wrath; I want retribution….Passion for equals, deep within is pressure from the crowd. I know now what my battle stands for; I fight and hide though I’m a victim being pressured.” She didn’t not notice that she wasn’t being watched by Andrea and her sisters.
