Shatter Me 3: Waiting for Superman

This is the third of Shatter Me. Hope you guys like it! This is a reboot and it's a lot different than it was before so please, hope you guys like it! Note: This story is inspired by Seraph of the End and Daughtry's "Waiting for Superman". I really worked hard on it. --KatDon 

Eris Samson was living a normal life, for now since that one poignant mission that occurred so she was taking a breather to spare her the trouble of it and she woke up early at around 3 a.m.—This is where she starts her day by going to work. Eris worked in the receiving room of the back where the truck always came in and would load at around a hundred or a thousand boxes. Put the boxes in the correct order and keep going until the truck is empty. A lot of times boxes of jewelry must be taken to the jewelry aisle and behind the counter, which is Eris’s job mostly. Carts and racks would be taken in, then break time and then back to work where Eris puts security tags upon them. Eris would hear the radio, which was always on as soon as she would come in. She would feel more content by the music and news from there that involves with politics, tragedies but to also keep her updated. While back at her place; Eris remembered she had heard the song ‘Waiting for Superman’ by Daughtry at her work area and decides to listen to it. When she heard the song ‘Waiting for Superman’; she immediately loved it. She bought the song online and put it on her hand-held music player with headphones which she carries the music player around with her on her walks. Just then as soon as she returns, there was a call on her cell phone and sighed deeply. “Here we go again…” muttered Eris. She hurries away and managed to get to the site of the base, where she reunites with Commander Minos, Heyoka, Kali, Lleu, Tyr and Ramses. There were other members being recruited alongside the others: Ingrid Calibur, Paris Black, Anastasia ‘Stacie’ Phelix, and Cleo Stamps. Eris and these girls became acquainted with one another, but it wasn’t going to be easy to work with each other like this!  They were all to investigate a city known as Valhalla. While working on the case around Valhalla; Eris encountered with information about six teenagers: Timor Graceland, Cole Kendan, Megan, Artaith Cook, William Easton, and Kaius Dorcas. Curious, Eris asked where they are and she is told that they are in Valhalla but is warned of danger however Eris wonders, "How dangerous could it be?" But she couldn’t go alone and was brought with her friends and are transported to Valhalla. Arriving at their destination; Eris, Ingrid, Paris, Anastasia ‘Stacie’, and Cleo are awe-stricken by the sight of a desolated, abandoned-like city that was once Valhalla. “So this is the ‘apocalypse’ city of Valhalla, huh. It sure has gone to hell.” Remarked Eris. They were supposed to be in the area of the military but there was nothing of the sort and the girls weren’t sure where they were. “Where the hell are we?” Paris asked. “I—I have no idea, just keep on your guard OK?” Eris instructed but then she stopped. “Wait! What’s that?” She muttered. Eris could see figures from afar but not too far. Eris gasped, “Guys? We have to hide—now!” She commanded softly. “What?” Cleo said. Eris fiercely persuaded, “Do as I say! Go!” So, the girls hide however they peeked out to see more clearly. “I see five adolescents in uniforms.” Eris whispered. There was three guys all dressed in a black military style jacket with a small yet close-fitting upright collar, shoulder straps, rope detailing & button front closure with black skinny jeans. But the two girls were dressed differently than the boys. Their outfit was of a snap buttoned vest layer it over a blouse. There was corset lacing on the back for a perfect fit and military inspired detailing. Although printed with a tonal monogrammed pattern, the bright red lining is anything but subtle as it peeks through the intricately folded peplum. All of the five soldiers wore combat style lace-up boots. “Oh shit, what is that?” mumbled Paris pointed over. The five adolescent soldiers then transformed into entities that were not human in the sight: Timor turn into an entity that wore a blue mask that resembled a ski mask, but his nose and mouth were covered. He has black colored eye goggles as well as a mask over his mouth and nose. Megan transforms into a feline humanoid: Pale faced complexion, untidy black hair, red sclera, black pupils so small, and dark rimmed glasses! She has a black tank top, gray jeans, pointy cat ears, and bloodied claws. William turned into a being in a business suit, he wore a mask with pointy ears and a red object in his breast pocket. Kaius turned into an creature who wore a top hat, a white mask with sclera and pupils all black. He also wore a tuxedo! And Artaith turned into a girl with crimson red hair, scarlet eyes, there were more eyes all over her body, and wore a bandeau top that resemble white bandages wrapped around her and long red pants. She even wore a white mask over her nose and mouth, making her appear as a ninja. They took down the monsters with their transformation! Eris was amazed by this, she is shocked by this but then she jumped at a loud whoop sound near her. “AWWW MAN THAT IS AWESOME!!!!” exclaimed Paris. Surprised, the five turned around yet they weren’t fast enough for Eris pulled Paris while in a soft, urgent tone: “Get down.” Paris ducked by Eris’s hand but then she noticed the others glaring at her. “What?” protested Paris. “Are you nuts? Ari, they’ll see us!” Eris said softly but frantic. They listened quietly while they heard voices that say: “What was that?” A guy’s voice asked. “Hmm, I don’t know.” A female’s voice remarked. “Let’s keep moving.” Another girl’s voice said with a high pitched tone. Eris peeked out as the five were moving ahead. Just then, Eris noticed that someone was following the five. She saw a woman in flowing dress that looked like it was floating from behind with pretty prints, strong colors and rich textures on it. She donned unwashed hair while barefoot. She was making her way towards them; Eris saw this as she told her friends to stay hidden. “Wait, what are you doing?” demanded Cleo softly. Eris smiled, “Going turbo.” She used stealth to sneak behind her and swiftly pounced her without causing much attention. The two of them were in a vehicle where the woman started the engine and caused the car to drive by itself. Eris recognized the monsters. She was scared but she did all she could to stop the vehicle though she felt the tires being slashed and the vehicle tumbled about. Eris managed to use her strength to stop it. She sighed with relief until out of the corner of her eye, she saw movement. Eris used the buttons and she managed to open them in the tipped over vehicle while in the confusion trying to stay as calm as possible. The commanding soldier and his squad surround the vehicle and called out, “Attack!” Eris’s hands threw her up to halt them, “WAIT!!!” She proceeds to say: “You may be wandering who I am. Well, that’s for you to find out.” Eris pointed over, “This chick does, just look at her expression.” She said. The girl looked both perplexed and mortified. The others didn’t looked amused however there was growling sound. Just then; Eris smirked, holding up two guns. “Cue the music!” She said. Eris did an aerial and fired her guns at the enemies. Taking them out, Eris said: “Looks like mama’s gonna express some rage.” She could feel she was being watched though she didn’t care as she continued to fight but then the monster slashed at her! “Ah-haha-ow!” exclaimed Eris. She kicked at the monster, breaking its neck as it let out a nasty crunch. “Yaagh, right up mainstream!” Eris cried. She sighed, “Ugh, mother-chucker!” She looked up to see her friends are nervously intimidated by a commanding officer who looked decently annoyed and has an irritated glare upon his face. Eris knew that this was going to be a lot of explaining to do. Meanwhile, a thuggish teenage boy name Kaius Dorcas, he was slim and fit but he was running enough to catch his breath. "Can't believe we got separated like this!” Kaius muttered to himself. He made a turn however he caught a glimpse of someone in his way and almost ran into them as he halted himself and he was frustrated that he stormed over to the girl of this figure. “Hey, buddy! I don’t know what your deal is, are you friggin’ stupid or something? Walking in the road like that! I’d like to give you a piece of my mind…” But he stopped when the girl turned her head towards him. The girl was Cleo. She gazed at Kaius with a dark glare; Kaius felt frozen with fear and grinned nervously, “Sorry.” He blurted out. He manages to run away from sight; however Cleo was trailing behind him. Kaius tried to pick up the pace however he tripped over something and he landed on the ground. Luckily, he was alive and got out but then a bloodied part of a head splattered in his direction. It missed and hit the ground. Kaius gasped until he heard a silk-like voice say, “There! A piece of your mind, now what did you wanted to say to me?” It was Cleo again; Kaius looked up in shock as he stammers out: “Listen, I’m terribly sorry…I’m just tired really, waking up when it’s still dark out and it’s almost four in the morning….” But clearly this girl isn’t listening, the girl then said, “Now look here my cranky, uptight friend; we can’t just flip the bird while yelling at pedestrians, it’s simply not nice.” With one hand, she grabbed Kaius by his shirt collar and said in a dark tone, “I’m just going to teach you a lesson.” But Kaius stops her. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I wish I could take it all back but I can’t. I’ll do anything you want, anything!” He begged. That seem to get Cleo’s attention, she smiled delightfully as her shiny white teeth sparkled like pearls as she glances down at Kaius, “Anything?” She asked, emphasizing the word. Kaius nodded sternly, the girl lets him go on the ground and demands for his identification and Kaius does so. Once the girl got the information on him, she says: “OK Kaius, I’ll forgive you for this if you promise to do something for sweet me.” Kaius was curious so he responds back, “Oh, all right. What is it?” Cleo exclaims a little, startling him: “I don’t know!!! I haven’t thought of it, yet!!!” She then said in a calm voice, “You just toddle on back to your car, and if I need you, I’ll call. OK? Great. See ya around!” She skipped away as she giggled delightfully. Moments later while in the military vehicle; Eris played with the windows out of boredom. She leaned to the driver as she said with a purr: “Y’know, its kinda lonesome back here.” The commanding officer guy let out an ‘hmph’ though Eris could tell that he was smiling. It was quiet until the guy spoke up. “Harter, Maslan.” The man said. “Samson, Eris.” Eris replied, into formalities. “So, what brings you here Miss Eris?” Maslan asked. “Well, it’s my lucky day and I’m after a guy on my shit list.” She answered. Maslan nodded, “I see.” He said. “I didn’t ask for this and I’m no psycho, but when a mad scientist is at large with these monsters, the time has come to be a friggin’ psycho!” Eris declared. However she had to ask, “How did you find me?” Maslan stated, “Your commanding officer by the name of Nero Walter lead me to you.” Eris was surprised, “Yeah, he’s a great guy.” She said. Maslan nodded with approval. They drove to a military base where they stopped. 

Just then; a Sigbin appears; roaring when it is punched and its neck broke with a sickening crack.  “Hello boys n’ girls!” called Paris. The army was in shock. Eris blushed, she looked up and saw a dark haired, untidy tresses and in the uniform. She recognizes him as the soldier she saw before. Maslan then introduced her to the boy as Timor Graceland. Timor welcomes her, “Hi.” He said. “Hello. It’s nice to meet you.” Eris greeted. “So, you’re joining us huh?” Timor replied. “Oh yeah.” Eris said with an excited grin. Just then, the friendly mood was cut short out of someone crying out like a crazy person. “What was that!? I should kill ‘em all and escape?” Paris exclaimed. Everyone was startled, Paris giggled as she said: “Sorry.” She pointed to the temple of her head, “Deez voices.” The soldiers are confused, Paris laughed. “I’m kidding! No, that’s not what they really said.” She claimed while smirking. Maslan let out an ‘hmph’, “Well I think we need to converse but first you girls need to stay in confinement.” He announced. Later, Eris peered through the room and looked over at Maslan, “In here?” Eris asked. “Just for a little while.” Maslan assured her and the other girls. Eris, Ingrid, Anastasia ‘Stacie’, and Cleo were OK with it but Paris hated being locked into places and was being scared like a little girl but she was shoved in. However, she didn’t stop begging! “Lemme outta here, darlin’ please!” Paris begged. The door slammed in her face. Paris banged on the door, “LEMME OUTTA HERE SONOFABITCH!!!” She shouted. Her shouting echoed down the halls as she made a lot of noise. From the other rooms; Stacie, Ingrid, Cleo, and Eris were annoyed to hear her scream her head off. Until Emily used her telekinesis to slam at the walls while screaming, “ARI!!! SHUT UP!!!” Paris clammed up but whimpered comically in distress. Only Cleo, Stacie and Ingrid could giggle in each of their rooms. In the meantime; Nero was at this meeting with Maslan and his squad members as he was having a discussion with them, ignoring Paris’s screaming. “I was assign to a squad of some girls with troubled pasts.” Nero said. “Why is that?” Maslan inquired. “Let’s just say they can fight well but they have determination to serve and protect other people.” Nero explained. “They’re worst of the worst.” Maslan noted. “Oh yeah, to the monsters.” agreed Nero. He then took a look at the files from the background story of the five soldiers of the Megan Squad. “Let’s see…Timor Graceland…He and his friend were victims to a sick experiment…This is Megan Moses, her sister Johanna was murdered by her half brother. Artaith Cook, she’s got sister issues too. William Easton, he is an innocent yet he has suffered losses such as his own sister and how much he went through…annnnnddd Kaius Dorcas is here to help his sister.” Maslan nodded, “Yes that’s exactly right.” He said, “How can your girls compare to my soldiers?” Nero said, “Did I mention these girls are mentally unstable at times?” Maslan realized what Nero means by that, “They’re psychos.” He said. Nero glances at him, “Exactly.” He replied. “Nero, what makes you think you can control them?” Maslan asked. “Because doing what the boss says is what I do for a living. I want to believe that these teenagers could actually do some good.” Nero answered. After the girls were being released, they were lead away from the rooms and into a whole different chamber. Eris looked around as she let a wry smile loose, “What is this? Uh, cheerleading tryouts?” She said with sarcasm. “No, training.” Maslan answered. He gives her two guns for her, Eris’s eyes widened, “You jokers must be crazy.” She claimed. She tries out the guns and is surprised how well they are! The other girls got equipped by other officials, even Paris is given a red tank in two-tone design with faux leather and stretchy fabric accenting the front and back. She also wore a matching red faux leather leggings with slashed detail. It looked cool for her and she loved the slashed detail. The problem was she had to change there and she didn’t mind anyone watching, she was pretty much oblivious. That’s when Paris noticed the stares, “What?” She asked. But the soldiers looked away and went on to their business. Paris muttered, “What am I? Jail friggin’ bait?” Eris stifled her laughter, just then Maslan waited patiently before clearing his throat and that got people’s attention. “All you know is that you work for me now, but this is the deal—you’re going somewhere bad and possible get yourself killed. Let me make one thing clear: Don’t disobey me. Don’t try to escape. Don’t irritate or vex me.” Maslan explained. Paris raised her hand up to say while letting out an ‘ahem’, “Um, I am known to be quite vexing—I’m just warning you.” Maslan smirks in her direction, “I know, just don’t piss me off all right?” He said. Paris dropped her hand, rolled her eyes slightly and pretended to pout however she knew this was coming. “So if we get caught or killed, you throw us under the bus?” Paris retorted. Maslan stared down at Paris, “You’d think I would do that? I wouldn’t forgive myself for such a terrible thing.” He said, “You girls are to be assigned with the Megan Squad. I know you have been trying to take down the monsters, we are too but we’re more advanced.” Hearing this; Eris smiled at this revelation, “I got it. You guys are a creature hunting organization huh. Just like us.” She replied. 

Eris cocked her guns, “Let’s go save the world.” She announced. Later, Eris was given the chance to drive in a military vehicle while following the Megan Squad but soon there was trouble. The additional drivers will engage in high speed pursuits involving dozens of patrol cars for the flimsiest of reasons. But Eris drove behind the other one and was terrified but in this pursuit of vehicles, there were monsters that were trying to take down the Megan Squad. Though the monsters never dream that the agents would chase after such trouble. They went to ridiculous lengths to catch them for what, at most, could be something more until Eris managed to hit the gas as the two vehicles went flying and they got away so soon! Despite this, Eris and the rest as well as Timor and his friends were still in one piece--they were shocked at how they are still alive! “Woooo—weeeeeee! What a ride!” Paris said excitedly. “Guess they weren’t kidding about the crazy ones, huh.” Megan said in a teasing tone. Paris looked at her, “Huh?” She asked. “Come on, enough talk---Look!” Stacie said, pointing to the monsters that were coming. Everyone prepared themselves, “Let’s play!” Eris claimed, “Let’s gooooooo!!!!!” The battle started as everyone battled the oncoming monsters. “Light it up!” Ingrid yelled. Paris went for the monsters while Eris called out: “ARI!!! STAY WITH THE GROUP!!!” Paris shouted out, “I’LL BE BACK!!!” She actually took down the monsters and came back to the group. However, Stacie complained: “You can’t just leave the group! Are you insane? You girls really are a bunch of weirdos!” Eris sighed at Stacie’s nagging voice. “We don’t have time for your B.S.! Besides, nobody’s getting hurt!” claimed Paris. As she said that, there was a crash. Eyebrows were raised, but Paris insisted: “That guy was up there before we got here!” There was danger ahead as frightened children were being confronted by the beasts. “Oh my god!” Eris gasped. Paris rubbed her hands together, “Time to let the sparks fly!” She bellowed. And she went full throttle on the monster legion, not allowing anyone close to her while she fought. Once she was done; Paris sniffed deeply and moaned before she declares, “I’m very hot and bothered—I’m pushin’ some skin t’night!” Eris groaned, “Paris!” Paris called out, “What? I really am!” She insisted. “Yeah but no one needs to hear that!” Eris pointed out. Paris sighed, “OK, OK. Sorry!” She said. The mood was ruined by a sight of soldiers running away however an invisible force took them down in a gory fashion. The gang were shocked by this as they fled from the sight, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing this! That couldn’t be happening, could it? Once they got to safety; all of them were shocked and trembling at the sight. “What…What was that?” demanded Megan. “I have no idea!” claimed Paris. “Whatever it was, it didn’t follow us.” Stacie explained. “Whew!” sighed William. “There is someone out there who is killing people and might come for us!” asserted Artaith. “I don’t think we stand a chance against whoever that was.” Timor spoke out. “No shit, maybe we should call it quits.” Kaius agreed reluctantly. 

Eris looked at the boys in amazement and disbelief. “You two are pathetic, you aren’t strong enough! You want to defeat these savages? I expect better from you!” Eris scolded towards Timor and Kaius. “What? You’re calling us weak?” Timor exclaimed. “Well, you sound like you want to give up! You’re a fool, Tim—are you going to let Cole Kendan down? Will you avenge him or fall behind as a weakling?” Eris said, shoving Timor to a pillar. She sneered at him as he cried out, “No!” Eris turned her attention towards Evan, “You are no different either, what about helping your dear sister Kyla? You care about her, don’t ya? What kind of brother are you if you give up? You are just like the other people, a coward!” She pegged. “That’s not true!” Kaius protested. “Right! You don’t have the courage!” Eris said, pushing Timor and Kaius further. Megan was surprised. Ingrid gasped. William looked frightened while Paris shivers at this. Artaith looked tensed as well as Stacie. “Eris, are you crazy?!” Cleo exclaimed. “What you gonna do now boys?” demanded Eris, ignoring Cleo. These two boys were increased into angry! “You want to see how piss we are?” Timor exclaimed. “Yeah, I want to see!” Eris said loudly. “You really want to see anger?” Kaius screamed. “Yeah, show it to me!” Eris cried. Everyone was nervous for the situation that was coming to a head! Timor turn into an entity that wore a blue mask that resembled a ski mask, but his nose and mouth were covered. He has black colored eye goggles as well as a mask over his mouth and nose. Kaius turned into an creature who wore a top hat, a white mask with sclera and pupils all black. The others looked on in horror, Ingrid gasped sharply. Eris looked with a calm expression upon her façade. The two boys grinned at her reaction. “You look scared, heh!” Timor said with a smirk. Eris nodded, “Yeah, but not too bad.” She admitted. She wasn’t so shocked or scared. Kaius leered down at her, “You’re gonna pay for what you said.” He replied. Eris reflected with her smirk, “I know, that was the idea of what I was doing.” She retorted. Timor and Kaius glance at each other with disbelief, then look back at her with a double take. “Wait, what?” Eris held her hands up calmly, “I was trying to get you guys there. Your breaking point, that’s what I meant.” She claimed in a matter of fact voice. Timor and Kaius glanced at her in disbelief. The others were both shocked and relieved at this sight. “No hard feelings right? We good?” Eris asked. Timor and Kaius were too shocked for words but only Megan chuckled, “Well! Clever girl.” She remarked smugly. There was a sound of glass breaking that made everyone jumped and turned around. But they sighed to see Paris took a hatchet from the broken glass. “Seriously?! The hell is wrong with you people?” demanded Artaith. Paris looked at with sarcasm and annoyance, “We’re total ‘psychos’—it’s what we do!” And sashayed from the glass pieces. They all faced enemies and they were now walking quite a lot when they stopped at an abandoned tavern. “Let’s take a break here.” Eris stated. “This is a tavern.” Timor said. “So?” Paris said, like it wasn’t a big deal. Artaith protested: “Are you crazy? We’re under age!” Eris rolled her eyes, “We’re not those kinds of teenagers, relax!” She assured her. “Yeah, we always come prepared.” Piped Cleo, “Well…Paris does! She carries the drinks for everyone. Every kind.” Paris smiled with confidence as her torso puffed of self-reliance by those words, she tossed her hair back and grinned. “C’mon, got something better to do?” Paris remarked, walking past the others who followed her. She leaped to behind the bar and sighed as she got some beverages out. She acted like a sexy bartender, trying to be all charming and sweet. “All right kiddies, what’cha havin?” Paris asked casually. One at a time, they replied: “Orange soda.” William said meekly. “Seltzer.” Megan remarked. “Diet.” Artaith answered. “What am I? Twelve?” retorted Timor. Paris rolled her eyes, “Regular I have to assume.” She said. 

She glanced over at Kaius, “How ‘bout you, Tiger Blood?” Paris remarked. Kaius gave a look towards Timor and pointed at him. “I’ll have what he’s having.” He said. Timor looked surprised, even William was amazed. Artaith was speechless while Minako stifled her laughter! Stacie’s eyes widened. Ingrid put a hand on her mouth. Eris and Cleo exchanged grins. Paris nodded, “That’s a good idea honey.” She said. Eris raised her drink in approval. Timor glared at Kaius, “Copycat.” He remarked. “Shut up.” Kaius snapped. “Why would you have the same drink as me?” Timor argued. “So what? Get over it!” Kaius injoined. The two argued but Eris and Cleo watched them speechless. Their expressions changed from inarticulate glances to content. Then, smiles appeared on their faces. Then, the girls giggled quietly until they both laughed out loud! Everyone was taken aback as Kaius and Timor turned to the girls, their heated discussion faded! Eris catches her breath as she said, “Oh my god! Isn’t this déjà-vu?” Cleo nodded while sniggering, “So true! Just like, you know--!” She tried to say but the two girls burst out laughing again, guffawing like hyenas. Only the others were perplexed by this, not getting the so-called joke. The funny part was there was no joke to begin with. Megan smirked awkwardly but the others still didn’t see the humor. Eris and Cleo calmed down, gasping for a mouthful of air. And it all got quiet. With a smug look, Eris said: “Don’t forget—we’re the psychos.” She smiled as she showed her incisors which only Timor could see that Eris was different. “She’s right, what are we doing here?” Cleo retorted with a smirk. Then she stated: “Let’s do something fun.” Eris, Timor, and Kaius exchanged grins with one another. While with Timor and the others; Eris was giggling to herself when she looked at Timor who looked at her funny. “What?” He asked. Eris shook her head, “Nothing.” She said. “You’re weird you know that?” Timor stated. “I know, but for some reason you and Kaius’s bickering reminds me of somebody I know. And he would bicker constantly with someone else.” Eris responded. Timor laughed at that, “Really? Someone like me? That’s funny.” He said. “I know when I look at you—I think of him. And maybe someday, maybe the two of you will cross paths one day.” Eris answered with confirmation. “Maybe.” Timor said. The battles against the Wendigos continues as they won’t stop until they get the job done. Eris, Timor and the others fought the monsters as they took them down! They were feeling victorious, “Wooo! That was amazing!” exclaimed Paris. “Wow, we did well. Good job you guys, I’m sanctified to have you people with me.” Eris replied. The others were surprised, they smiled at her. “Oh, how touching! That was impressive kiddies.” A voice said. Timor, Megan, William, Kaius and Artaith were shocked to recognize who that was! “It’s him.” Megan articulated. Eris and the other girls were alarmed by this sight. “Uh oh.” Sylvia uttered. “Not good!” Eris said. “Are you the Devil?” Stacie inquired quietly while looking up at their enemy. Paris smirks, “We’re in soooo much trouble! Let’s hope you guys got insurance—now we begin!” She declared. There were four of them; the ring leader is David Lucas. His second in command was Kaname Ennis as well as two other female servants: Karen Bright and Tabitha Hicks. “Well, well, what have we here? You got friends. So, this is the new crowd. I gotta say, you thought this would be the last time you heard of me but you were wrong.” Remarked David. “I think you all will be perfect for our little toys, it would be a shame to see you waste away. Why don’t you come with us?” agreed Kaname. Eris glared at them and fakes a smile, “Sorry, ain’t gonna happen!” She retorted. Then she said to the others, “RUN!!!!” And they scampered away. “HEYYYYY, COME BACK HERE!!!!” shouted Tabitha. But no one dared to stop running! Throughout the time; Eris, Timor, and Kaius ran beside one another. “There’s no way we can shake ‘em, they’re not going to let us go!” said Timor. “We’ll be fine, Tim. We’ll be fine.” Eris assured him. “This is insane!” exclaimed Kaius. “Yeah, no shit!” Eris remarked. Cleo came up to the three as she looked terrified. “Go, go, go, go!” instructed Cleo. “Lookin’ at my li’l boots! Gonna keep running, not gonna cry or I will piss myself so bad!” Stacie repeated, “They’re my friends! They’ll protect me! They won’t hurt me!” But Paris retorted, “The boots never protect.” Stacie squealed. “I don’t want to turn around!” Ingrid wailed. “Oh my god!” whimpered Cleo. Eris looked to see the enemy closing in, her eyes bulged in terror. “Awwww, dammit! GO! GO! GO!” Eris commanded. “No! Nonononononono!” Artaith cried. “I’m not here! Shoot…Stay. The. Hell. A. Way!” gasped Megan. “Stay away, leave me alone! Leave me and my friends alone!” William was saying. “Screw this, screw this! Screw this!” Timor chanted. “They see us little piggies!” claimed Stacie. “You mean us little marshmallows?” William asked meekly. “Ha, they see shit!” Paris said, laughing nervously. “They’re near, they’re near!” shouted Artaith. “Please, no! Please! No, please!” begged Megan. “OWGAWD, THEY’RE BEHIND US! RUN!” Eris exclaimed. “They hide in the trees and bushes! Maniacal assassin monkey ninjas!” Paris cried. 

There was a sound of a person screaming, it sounded like that had no language skills and they were being gutted alive. “What the hell was that?” demanded Timor however everyone shrieked in unison, at the same time Eris yelled: “AUGH! THEY’RE BEHIND US!!!” Paris screeched, “No! Don’t stand up you son of a bitch!” She quivered in fear. “Come at us, come at us you bastards!” Eris called out daringly. They got to a safety point to catch their breaths but everyone was freaking out despite being in the clearing. “Oh man, eeeeeehhhhh!!! EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!” Stacie squealed. “Pfft!” Ingrid sputtered after she yelped out of fear. “Whew, don’t ever do that again! I thought you guys were going to die!” Cleo protested. That’s when a Wendigo try to ambush them until Eris shot it in the head, startling everyone in the process. It was quiet for a moment before Eris burst out laughing, “See? That’s how you kill a monster, kiddies. AND YOU DIDN’T NEED NO SHITTIN’ FORM TO HELP YOU WITH THAT! WAHAHAHAHA!” Emily declared. Timor had to smile at her, but his smile was more like a concern look. They all hid on a rooftop after Emily helped everyone hide there and managed to stay quiet. Just then, Eris saw Prisca was looking around and gasped. “Augh! The succubus moved!” Eris said softly. Everyone hid out of sight but peeked out in spite of themselves. “I’m so spooked.” Paris replied. It was so quiet that nothing could be scarier to say anything. They argued for a bit as Jade sternly orders the boys stop this fight. William fears only for his friends. Megan also fears for Timor, so much so that she breaks social rank by telling him what to do. Eris is irritated and she stops them by throwing herself at them and pinned them down, despite their complaints she was stern and enraged with great irritation. “End it, now!” growled Eris, to Timor and Kaius and released them while she scolds at them. “I ain’t dealing with you two! Just screw it! Screw it, I don’t care what happens—I do!” Eris said. There was a break sound and there was grunting but somehow someone escape! Eris then said, “Now’s our chance! Go!” And they all scattered however Eris caught a glimpse of Timor being confronted by laughing Wendigos. She managed to step in with her hands balled into fists. “Leave him alone!” growled Eris, catching the enemy spawn’s attention. She has red eyes of fury as she steps in while she said: “And get out of here, you’re trespassing!” The tone of her voice was cold and harsh but firm. Timor was shocked; he had never seen Eris this way before! She took down the monsters, took Timor’s hand and they managed to get away. Eris and Timor survived unharmed. After escaping; Eris stayed close, her arms wrapped around him. She shushed him and ran her fingers through his hair in a way that should have been relaxing as her hand caressing his cheek. Timor let out a slight moan as she started to rub. Eris’s face was slightly close to Timor’s, her hands were on the sides of his cheeks. “I won’t hurt you, Tim. I believe Cole could be still out there. Have heart, my friend.” She said. She felt tension of being close to Timor! Realizing this, she maintains her self control. However she thought she saw someone within Timor, Eris stepped closer to Timor, she stared into his eyes for a moment. Then, she lets out a loud shriek, starling him. Eris catch her breath as she managed to say, “What are you?” She managed to get away as Timor stared at her while confused. Eris walked with him but she was surprised to see that she could’ve sworn she saw someone…In the interim; Eris, Timor and the others were contact by a squad as they were being brought to an abandoned building where a squad is already there because someone called for assistance and were investigating a blue colored room. They went into the room while Eris and the others were told to stay back while they investigate. The gang watched the squadron were examining a room and looking around for something. However, Eris felt something was not right—even Timor could tell too. There was a crash sound, startling the other soldiers. They heard a young girl giggling maniacally. The soldiers were frozen in terror and looked around frantically. “Well, Well. It’s the squad that thought they killed us but lo and behold, we are alive!” A voice said that sounded sweet yet malicious. “Wha—how is this possible?” One of the soldiers starts to say.  Another said with a nervous laugh, “Oh c’mon! This isn’t real! It’s just a joke—A cruel and sick prank.” The figure of the girl responds, “A prank you say? This isn’t a joke, this is!” Just then, some sort of telekinetic force caused all the soldiers to die in unimaginable ways. Eris, Timor, and their friends were shocked by the horrific sight. One was thrown back into a wall; he was impaled by his own weapon. Another was having a knife poised between his teeth; the knife carved a mouth to ear wound before the poor guy was burnt alive! There was the girl’s maniacal giggling as more soldiers died. One was pushed into the water of the room and drowned. The fourth soldier was convulsing so much that he had to end his life. The fifth was suffering the torture of his organs removed and replaced. Then, he got stabbed in the heart. Eris couldn’t believe this was happening, she watched the sixth soldier had a breakdown and pulled out a needle as he smiled maniacally, he looked as deteriorated as he stabbed himself in the back with the needle. He commits hara-kiri, the seventh and the last one stared at the dark figure. She looked up while stammering: “Oh--! W—Who—are you? What the hell are you?” The girl’s tone of voice became menacing, “Who am I? Am I God? The Devil? No, I am vengeance. I am salvation. I am the Reaper, your time is up!” The soldier tries to flee however she tripped. The girl laughs as she remarked, “Aww! Had a nice trip? You had a great big fall; well I guess you can’t get up.” Not sooner she said that, the female soldier’s bones broke. She saw the young teenager girl standing over; the female soldier was so scared. “I’m ashamed of you, trying to escape your death? Sorry, you can’t fight fate.” The girl said, she was wielding a butcher knife. The female soldier was begging for mercy, “Please, have pity! I wish to live! Have some compassion.” She said. The girl was delirious where she exclaims, “You want me to show you some compassion?! HA! The world showed no compassion to ME! Or my sisters! OR MOTHER!!!!” 

The girl plunged the knife into the soldier’s left eye. The soldier screamed, she suffered of blood loss and died. Eris and the others were sickened by the sight, but the girl noticed them—she smiled wickedly. “You’re that girl--Serenity!” Eris gasped. “Hello Eris.” Andrea greeted. “Oh god, it’s you!” Megan gasped, pointing to her. Andrea slowly smiled, “Yes…It’s me.” She confirmed. She giggled to herself, “I was the one that had been watching you all this time.” Serenity replied in a creepy monotone voice. Earlier; Megan was following behind but felt someone’s hands on her shoulders and a whisper from behind: “My dear, sweet and lovely Megan…You are truly beautiful and you’re so sure…Maybe you’re clever than someone like me.” Megan froze in her tracks. In the present, Megan was trembling in terror. “It is you. I don’t believe it.” She managed to say. Serenity cocked her head from side to side. “Yes…You all interest me.” She looked around and she then said, “I promise I won’t chew on your bones…I promise I won’t. But when you all die, I want to keep you in glass jars forever and ever…And ever…So start running, kiddies.” Eris and the others managed to get back to the military base as they never forgot what happened to them. As Timor, his friends, and Eris’s friends were asleep in the hours of darkness; Eris was awake as she couldn’t get to sleep. But while she watched the others slept, Eris was shocked to see a woman with flowers in her hair and a tattered gown that flowed down her ankles. Her bony-thin hands cascaded in Timor’s hair in a maternal affection, she did the same towards Evan—it was Rebecca. Eris’s eyes widened and bulged in horror, she wanted to scream but couldn’t for she was so frighten. Carly and Lucy ogled at both William and Artaith as they used a feather to trace the sides of their faces. Kira petted William’s head, cradling him as he slept. “So young, so sweet and innocent…” She muttered softly. And Serenity just stared at Megan, she has a glance of perverse evil on her face. Eris was frozen with fear, she couldn’t let them get to close. So she reached over to Timor and gently cut a wound in his hand. Blood oozed out but he didn’t stir so Eris dipped her finger into his blood and took a taste where she managed to absorb his power. She transformed and managed to take down Rebecca and her daughters with swift motions as well as trying her best not to wake anyone. But Rebecca was angry that Eris was interfering and was whispering: “They’re mine….All mine…!” Eris smirked, “Like hell.” She declared. She took down the four daughters who were thrown out and Eris kicked Rebecca who let out a heartbreaking yowl: “WHHHHYYYYYYYY?!” At that instant; Eris managed to get back to her position to sleep before the others woke up; they heard a wail that roused them from their slumber. Ingrid, Stacie, Paris, and Cleo woke up, they were completely spooked. Tate and his squad came in as everyone checked on Eris, but she was sound asleep. This surprised everyone though they were relieved to know she was all right. However, Megan was the only noticed fiery feathers from the back of her skin and saw them quivered. Eris pretended to be asleep, she smiled to herself! But also, she was glad that everyone was safe. However she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. The next day, Timor noticed a half moon cut into his hand and wondered how it got there. “Hmm, perhaps you clenched your fingers in your sleep.” Megan stated. “Yeah, you could be right.” Timor agreed. Eris approached while she has a small bottle and poured it on Timor’s hand and the wound vanished. “Wow that was pretty cool. Thanks!” He said. Eris smiled, nodded. “No problem.” She rejoined. “You must have taken some healing items equipped with you.” Megan countered. Eris shrugged, “Yeah, you could say that.” She confirmed. “Geez, you must’ve been one hell of a best to put up so much, you must be some sort of freak.” Remarked Kaius. The others laughed especially Eris; deep down she felt rage and dread. Then; the glass breaks and shatters as everyone jumped back. With dull surprise, Eris noticed as she remarked: “Oh my, who broke the window?” With a calm look; Eris cleaned up the broken glass while she seemed tensed. Later, Timor heard someone singing softly and there was soft footsteps. So he, William, and Kaius followed the soft singing and found Eris was spinning around while she was singing to herself. They could hear her singing to herself: “She’s talking to angels, counting the stars, making a wish of a passing car. She’s dancing with strangers, she’s falling apart. Waiting for Superman to pick her up, in his arrrrrrrrrmmmmms yeah….. in his arrrrrrrrrmmmmms yeah…She’s waiting for Superman, to lift her up! And take her anywhere, show her love and flying through the air. Save, her now, before it’s too late tonight….And she smiles….”

Meanwhile; Kaius’s little sister, 13 years old Kyla Dorcas was being held in a room, she was now part of an organization as their new weapon. Just then; Kyla could hear a voice that speaks out: “Such unmannerly savages--look at how they relish you like you’re their property. Mindless ingrates! How they use you, pull your strings for a thrill. Allocating in this life.” Kyla looked around as she responds, “Who’s there? Can you save me? I don’t think it’s possible to leave, I am a prisoner here.” The voice said to Kyla, “My dear…Sweet…Lovely child, you shall be free. Look in front of you, I am there before you.” So Kyla looked and saw a figure before her. She heard the voice said in a very compelling tone and was hypnotized by these words: “Approach my debutante. Let’s go to a place of enchantment and magic. Follow me for I will lead you out into a promised land.” The voice said over and over, the guards heard a voice and saw Kyla in a trance as she walks to an unseen figure. They decide to report to commander while the others try to stop Kyla. It was too late; the hypnotized Kyla was now kidnapped by Serenity and her sisters. The guards could’ve sworn they saw a tattered white gown, a flower crown, and barefooted. “Come my ‘daughter’, I will take you into a world of enchantment and shadows. Fear not, I will keep you safe from who these people are.” She said. She gingerly took Kyla’s hand and vanished. Kyla gripped onto the hand of Abigail as she, Serenity, Kira, Carla, and Lucy lead her to subterranean area. They helped Kyla into a gondola. Kyla sat there while Rebecca rowed the gondola with an oar. Serenity and her sisters sang and dance. The four sisters were in a small circle, fingers entwined and singing: “Ahhhh, Oooooh, Lalalalala…..” Kyla was feeling sleepy, her eyelids felt heavy and darkness enveloped. For the moment; Eris and the others were still walking about when all of a sudden, the intercom squawked for a moment before Serenity’s giggle is heard! Eris, Timor, and the others frozen in their tracks by that laugh. That’s when Serenity spoke, “Attention to all savages, we have a Code Red. So you see, we have a little sweet girl here that is with us. She’s part of—No. Not anymore, she’s rescued by our sanctuary. And now? Well, she couldn’t be happier.” She then said, “My dear? Would you come over here?” There was shuffling until Serenity spoke again: “Dearest, would you mind telling the world your name my cutie pie?” There was a short pause when a young girl’s voice ringed out, “Dorcas…Kyla Dorcas.”  Kaius looked shocked; he quivered in anger and broke down. “No….NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!” Cleo put her arms around him to calm him down. Kaius was enraged, “That witch, she has my sister! I can’t believe this! I’m going to kill her, I swear!” He exclaimed. “I know, but don’t worry—We’ll find Kyla and we’ll get her back. I promise.” Cleo said. Kaius trembled a bit but he felt someone beside him, he looked up to see it was Timor. He had a determined look, “That Andrea girl won’t get away with this. Don’t give up, all right?” He said. Kaius glanced at him, he calm down. “We were trained for situations like these.” Megan said. She smiled and said all of a suddenly, “Stick with me and I will lead you to freedom!” Eris just laughed, “Oh you will? Will you, won’t you? I guess we should trust in you.” She replied. However, Serenity added: “Oh, I almost forgot. All you Sigbins out there, we have some ‘appetizers’ waiting around the bend. Their names are Timor Graceland, Minako Megan, Artaith Cook, William, and Kaius Dorcas. They are seen amongst some lovely ladies— Eris and her friends. Hey Eris, you and your bosom buddies keep your teenagers safe!” But then she let out a dramatic gasp, “Oh wait. You’re all teenagers. I mean to say was, keep the appetizers safe from harm.” Eris and the gang were shocked as Serenity ended the intercom announcement. “Oh no.” uttered Eris. As soon as Serenity said that, the Sigbins—who were under the mind control—attacked Eris, Timor and the others who managed to fight them off as well as escaped in time. During that time, Eris could hear that song again in her head: “….Waiting for Superman to pick her up, in his arrrrrrrrrmmmmms yeah…..” Timor and the other two boys stares at Eris, “Who the hell is this girl?” He thought.

Just then, they were nearly ambushed by the Sigbins but took them all down! As soon as everyone got to safety, they had to keep moving. Meanwhile; Maslan and his squad were having a meeting with the ruthless, cold hearted leader name Matthew Moses who rebukes them of reaching their lowest point and recruiting ‘feminine qualities’ to the missions. At that moment that he was talking; the TV turned on as the image of Timor went into another room to see something from on the other side of glass of two boys who were really William and Kaius being bound, gagged, and seated in chairs while their legs were shackled. The cruel looking, stoic Matthew gives instructions through an intercom, and stabbing is shown. Later, someone gives the order to release the boys. Maslan, his squad, and everyone else were shocked by the sight as they wondered who would videotape this. No one remembered putting on the cameras! Just then; Serenity entered the room as her presence caused a stir and dread to the others. Maslan and his squad members stiffened by the sight of her. Matthew was calmed down but despite this he was scared. He glared at Serenity who looked around the room, “My, oh my. What a nifty place you have here, my good man.” She replied. “Who are you?” Matthew demanded with a stern gaze. Serenity turned to face Matthew and glare at him, “You adversary…But, I am no demon.” She remarked. She approaches Matthew, who fires at her. However Serenity is still alive as she laughs and gives her hair a toss back. Matthew, moving backwards, is terrified. Andrea gives Matthew a swinging roundhouse punch to the jaw, that sends him sliding over a table, to the floor and Serenity stood over him. Serenity held up daggers, showing them with Matthew. “Know where I got these? From your guards. Remember? The time you got ‘em to torture William and Kaius? They were bound…gagged…shackled…You did not care how much pain they were in. You are disgraceful to the human race; you will burn for what you’ve done.” She said. She took the first dagger in her hand and impaled it into Matthew’s shoulder. Matthew grimaced while Serenity said, “That was for torturing your half sister Megan, treating her like the black sheep.” The second dagger went into Matthew’s right shoulder, Matthew contorted in pain. “That’s for killing Megan’s sister—her beautiful, cunning sister. And for severely beating Maslan.” Continued the vengeful Serenity. She took out a third and impaled Matthew’s left knee. “That was for Kaius, how you sting him.” The fourth dagger plunged into Matthew’s right knee, making Matthew feel the pain. “You—How dare you! Just you wait, see what happens! I won’t forget you, I’ll find you!” He said. Serenity said, “And that was for Willie, you thought he barely felt that? Hell, that pain took so much effect and work for him not to forget.” And the grand finale, Serenity raised the last dagger as she said: “And after I impale your heart, you’ll never see me again.” Her voice was cold and harsh. 

“Don’t do it, you crazy witch!” Maslan called out. Serenity looks at Maslan, “You dare stop me? I will not cease see this man after all the hell he put you all through. You think I cannot end his monarchy of his callous, severe tyranny and let him do as he pleases? You are screwed up in the head!” Kira then said, “He has a point, sister. Perhaps we shall see who might be the one to impale his cold and unfeeling heart, gouging it out in his hands. Sure, we could’ve done it ourselves but let the professionals handle it. One day, Matthew will no longer be a threat.” She smiled at Maslan who glared at her. Andrea place the dagger away and she looked down at Matthew, “I’ll let you go for now but the next time we meet. I won’t be so merciful. I won’t rest until I see your pitiless being resort into a pile of blood and guts. Perhaps I’ll drink your blood and eat your guts while chewing your bones of your soon to be corpse.” With that she turned and disappeared with Kira. Tate felt himself was shaken from the ordeal but the thought of Serenity and Kira predicting something like this was something out of the question. Back during the mission; Eris was alone as she absorbs Kaius’s power as she turned into the entity. However, Kaius has misgivings on Eris and follows her but was shocked to witness her transformation. He was shocked by this sight. Eris managed to come across the monsters in this form. After she took down the beasts; Eris ran a hand across her new form, which was only temporarily. “Damn, I look pretty good.” She said to herself. That’s when she heard someone shouted in her ear: “Ah-ha!!!!” It made Eris jumped and she returns to normal. She turned to see a sneering Evan. “How did you know how to wake the ‘inner demon’ hm?” He remarked. “I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.” Lied Eris brightly. Sylvia came to her defense, “Even if she did know you couldn’t prove anything.” She said. Eris said a silent prayer and was relieved to have her, even though it wasn’t necessary. Megan spoke up, “She’s right. It doesn’t matter; I think we shouldn’t question this.” She said. She looked over at Eris with a nod. Eris nodded, she was thankful to have Megan! Later, Eris managed to be alone and she thought she was when she pulled a container of blood and put it in a bottle to drink from. She drink a little of the red fluid and sighed as she managed to feel exhausted from the sleep but she didn’t care. Sleep wasn’t her biggest stress so much however she managed to pull her through all the toughness in her life. Eris looked at her digital pocket watch and left. That night; Eris walked into her house with sweat pants, socks, and a bra. But she put her tank top shirt on. Her hair was drenched from the shower she took, teeth brushed earlier while she was in the bathroom. It was dimly lit so she tries to brighten in the room as she found the switch to the lamp. After she did that, Eris heard a voice, “Eris Samson.” Eris whirled around in shock and saw Timor and Kaius there. “The hell? How did you get here in my quarters? Asked Eris. “Oh, I’m good with pick-pocketing so that’s how.” Kaius replied. “You really are a friggin’ show off aren’t you?” Kaius glared at Timor until Eris spoke up, “Uh uh! If you argue, I’ll kick you two out! It’s been a long day boys!” Timor and Kaius got serious as Kaius said, “We saw you.” Eris smirked at them, “Peeping on a girl was getting dress? Shame on you guys.” She scolded playfully. 

Timor reflected with his own sneer, “You moved objects with your mind.” He said. Eris’s smile faded, her heart thumped like crazy. Now she was in trouble, maybe she can fight her way out of this. “No, that was the wind. What kind of power is that? I don’t do that.” Eris said. “Oh no, there was no wind—it was all you there.” Kaius confirmed. Eris gulped, “Are you trying to demonize me?” She said in a cold tone. “No, nobody else could’ve caused that but you.” Timor replied. Eris sighed, hands running through her hair. She was stressed by what was happening. “OK, look. I can explain, I move things with my mind. I can heal fast. I’m not like most girls.” She claimed. Timor’s face softened, “It’s not that—it’s just that you’re hiding something. Like, you’re holding something back.” He notified. “I’m not.” Eris whispered. “I think you are, isn’t she?” Kaius said. “Yeah but we can’t force her to tell us.” Timor insisted. “Well I can!!!” Kaius exclaimed, he reaches towards her to pull at her clothing. Eris growled as she got on top of as they roll around in this fight, her fists pressed against his chest. Timor attacks from behind while he gripped his arms around her neck and down below, he grins as he said: “Gotcha!” But Eris punches him in the jaw, Timor groaned in pain. “Owwww, what was that for?” He complained. “Your hand was in the wrong part buddy!” Eris claimed, covering her chest. This fight went on for awhile until it ended with Eris panted, glaring at Timor and Kaius, who have scrapes and bruises as they look at her with terror on their faces. “NO! I’m not doing this with you two, get out—NOW!!!” She stipulated firmly. The tone of her voice sounded shaken and harsh, Timor and Kaius scrambled to their feet while they left; shutting the door behind the boys. Eris sighed as she catches her breath. She felt the feeling of rush throughout her heart. Eris was afraid of doing this again, she cursed out at herself: “I am a sick bitch aren’t I? All because of him, I hate myself for this!” She muttered. Just then, Eris saw a shadow and gasped while she saw a piece of paper. She picked it up and opened it, in the message it says: “Wow that looked quite intense. I wonder if you can handle a little more intensity. Please bring those two over and we can have a little fun. Sincerely, Serenity.” Eris re-read the note as she sighed, she knew this was going to be risky but working with these two wasn’t going to be easy. However, she smiles to herself. She seemed to have something up her sleeve.

The next day; Eris, Timor, and Kaius were quietly heading towards the location of where Andrea and the other sisters were. “This is the weirdest mission to be without the others.” Remarked Timor. “Yeah, I have to agree on that. So, how come Maslan let us go on this mission?” asked Kaius. Eris smirked as she said, “’Cause I didn’t ask him.” Timor and Kaius looked at her in surprise, “What?” They both said. They looked at her with double takes before bursting out laughing, even Emily laughed with them. “Damn, he’s gonna kill you!” Timor said. Eris shrugged, “Screw the rules, we got a flying mouse to catch. And besides, I left him a note. Saying I was taking you boys out.” She remarked. Kaius snickered, “Man, you’re evil Eris.” He said. “Takes one, to know one.” Eris commented. They reached to the abandoned building while looking up at it. “So, who’s ready for this?” Eris asked. “She’s in there, isn’t she?” Timor asked. “Oh yeah, why don’t you step in my liege? Time’s—a—wasting.” Eris said, emphasizing on the words. The trio stepped in where they came across a lot of things that looked unrealistic. There were people murdered and using their wax-coated corpses as they looked to be in agony. While looking at them; one of the statues come to life miraculously and gripped onto Eris’s arm as he shouted chaotically: “HELP ME!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE, PLEASE!!!” Eris screamed, she freed herself as she and the guys got away before they found a different chamber in the abandoned building. Eris and the boys found lots of photos. More rarely, newspaper and magazine articles, time lines, address book information or videos are added. For extra creepiness factor, a couple of half melted candles are strategically located at the base of the shrine. There might also be locks of hair, trash, or other mundane items stolen. She has been stealing numerous artworks connected to love. Since she has a known obsession with Timor as well as Kaius and Megan. There's even of Heyoka, Kali, Lleu, Tyr and Ramses! There were some others Eris encounters with. As they got closer, they saw murdered bodies in the next room--it was an appalling sight. There they could see Andrea is behind a back-lighted screen as a man's voice shouted, “PLEASE!!!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!!! I BEG OF YOU!!!” Nevertheless there was blood splattering against a wall and the guy lied there pleading but he dies of his wounds. Serenity appeared on sight, Eris’s stomach clenched. “It’s her!” gasped Timor. “I know, I know.” Kaius said back. It was then Serenity did a strange dance in the room. She took hold of the waltz position where her left leg straightened as the right bend slightly as she pivoted gracefully, Serenity arched her body backwards and, the next thing Serenity did was that she spins around to the beat and makes flirty gestures. During the dances; she made herself look sexy yet mysterious with her back to the trio. But glanced back at them slyly and has a mischievous grin on her face while Eris, Timor, and Kaius stare at her in horror. Serenity was striking; she was wearing provocative clothing. She begins to make ominous remarks that frightened Eris and the two boys so much that their faces were filled with terror. "Hello Eris…Boys….Wanna play with me?" She said. Timor shook her head, "No. I don't want to play your kind of games." He said. Serenity looked annoyed, "Really? You're such a kill joy." she complained and smiled wickedly. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM US!!!!" Kaius cried. All three of them ran away but Serenity used her telekinesis to knock out all three and smiled darkly at their downfall. Moments later; Eris, Timor and Kaius woke up to see Serenity, Kira, Carly, and Lucy 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?” Serenity 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!!!” Serenity 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, Serenity and Kira are successful for breaking the minds of Eris, Timor and Kaius. Thus, they are taking control. Eris, Timor and Kaius's minds are assaulted with painful, horrifying visions, and their will broken. Eris, Timor, and Kaius were screaming from the painful memories inside their heads. Serenity giggled at their suffering while she watched them writhed. “It’s quite like your life almost Eris, 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 Serenity, “We are alike and I feel that even if we are not related, we know each other so well.” Eris was pissed as she and the other two boys managed to get back to the ground. Serenity, Kira, Carly, and Lucy looked back with horror across their faces. “YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME!!!!” Eris screamed hysterically. Serenity and Kira are shocked of what they were seeing before them as well as Timor and his friends. Cleo, Stacie, Paris, and Ingrid are in total shock and dreaded of this situation. She could hear that singing in her head again: “Somebody shine a light, I’m frozen by the fear in me…Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me!” Eris’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. Kira could see some sort of fiery rage from inside of Eris, she then said: “We’re sorry…I’m sorry…” She sounded like she meant it! Eris 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 Rebecca! And you can pass that along! TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!!” Her powers were out of control! Serenity and Kira begins to get scared, Carla and Lucy were screaming as well as babbling incoherently. Timor, Kaius, Megan, William, and Artaith were terrified. Again the singing continued in her head: “…So cut me from the line, dizzy spinning endlessly. Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me!!! SHATTER ME!!!…Somebody make me feel alive and SHATTER ME!!!” It wasn’t until Cleo stepped in and stopped her best friend! “Eris, please stop! Don’t do this!” She begged. “THOSE BITCHES, THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT I’VE DONE, WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH OR ANYBODY ELSE!!!!” shrieked Eris in a panic-stricken voice. “I know but he’s not going to hurt you anymore, OK? He has no power over you, remember that!” Cleo reminded. Eris managed to calm down by those words and she felt so worn out that the darkness enfolds her.

As she was in a vehicle with her friends; Eris remembered what happened: She 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; Eris, Ingrid, Stacie, Paris, and Cleo had arrived to the training grounds of the 21 Guns Navy. The girls were trying to find Timor 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. Stacie and Ingrid could stare him confused. Paris rolled her eyes, “Whatever.” She said. Cleo looked annoyed and Eris 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 Maslan Harter and Nero Walter. Upon entering the building, Eris 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. Eris sighed, “What a pain.” She muttered. Just then; Eris 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, Eris was lucky to get their attention as she saw there were three guys and two girls. The first guy responded, “Yes?” Eris 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. Eris 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 Timor mentioned. He called them the ‘Psychos’.” Eris’s lips curled into a smile, “Timor 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 Rick Crane. The second guy was Joseph and other guy was Axel. The two other girls were Zamia and Trisha. Moments later; Eris, her friends, Rick Crane and his squad entered the training grounds where Tate greets them, “Well, well. Looks like all of you are here.” Eris beamed, “Yup, we’re here.” She stated. Rick points his thumb over at Eris, “Hey Tim, this is one of the Good Psychos you mentioned by right?” He asked. “Yeah, good to see you made it Eris.” Timor greeted with a smile on his face. “Yeah, we got lost but thanks to these guys, we made it.” Eris explained. Nero nodded, “Now that you’re all here, let’s get started.” He announced. Nero saw Eris approaching; he stops her and said in a low voice: “Got you something Eris.” He hands her a weapon, which Eris took it with her in stride. And so the training begins! Eris sparred with Timor during the battle training, “Come on Tim, get with the program.” She hollered playfully. “Quit bragging.” Timor said teasingly. Megan fights Ingrid while Artaith battles Stacie. Paris fights William while Kaius struggles against Cleo. “Ohhh….” Zamia uttered softly. Stacie winced on her face, “Sorry.” She squeaked. “How do I look? I can take it!” Artaith gasped out. Megan saw her face and said in a joking manner: “What happened to you?” Ingrid giggled. Afterwards; Timor, Megan, William, Kaius, and Artaith panted in exhaustion as their opponents stood over them. Eris smiled, “Nice job.” She complimented. Rick and the others were amazed by this; they turned to Maslan and Nero who were satisfied with the results. “Those girls of yours really are tough.” Maslan said. “Your kiddies did excellent too.” Nero remarked right back. “Damn, they really are ‘psychos’.” Rick remarked. “Ha, funny.” Nero said with sarcasm. “I’m serious.” Replied Rick. “He’s right about these girls being the good kind of psychos.” Maslan stated.” Nero nodded, “Psychos huh.” He said as he watched Eris helped Timor up to his feet. “Eris and the Psychos. I like that.” Nero smiled.
