Chapter 8: Deal With the Devil

In one dark night; Mora had a dream about Peyton once more that made her arch her back in her sleep. In her dream; Peyton quickly turned around. Mora stared into him eyes and her hands caressed his cheeks. Her right thumb moved around his soft lips as his eyes were glued to her. Mora leaned down forward and he had closed his eyes and their lips meet. Mora could feel the tenderness, and then she grabbed him by her hair pulling him towards her in a sudden move of passion. She opened her mouth, just enough for their tongues to interlock and Mora was breathing heavily. “Stop” Peyton breathing between the kiss. But Mora put both hands underneath his head, then rock up and down, back and forth on his body in a circular motion. She grinds her body against him, she press against him and release herself from him. While struggling one day; Peyton felt himself on top of her, Mora was arching her back as she was lying on her back while she pulls her knees back to her shoulders, smiles at me, and says “Shove your frigging shaft in me until I cry.” Mora rubs her pelvic region into his. She went slow and builds up rhythm. Mora slowly rolls her pelvis in between the center of his legs while being cautious. She was trying to stimulate and excite him in the terror while thrusting him with excitement. Excitement builds up while she increases the speed with their clothes on. She is bucking her hips forward, like she wants all of him completely inside while she try to control the rhythm to last longer. She also had been clutching a eviscerated snake with blood on the side, Peyton was terrified while Mora was aroused. While Mora was having her dream; Andrea watched as three pretty boys—Keizo Ooshi, Chaniel Fulbright, and Bancho ‘Bane’ Watanabe—were bleeding badly by Mora’s torturous acts! Andrea smiled, “Wow, you boys look so hot in blood splatters.” She said in a whisper. Andrea put her hand between her legs as she moan with ecstasy and urgently, she whimpered at the blood as well as the boys who could only stare at her in horror! In the morning, Keizo and the other two boys were alive but traumatized as they were at the hospital where they tell about seeing Andrea for her torturous ploys as she talks about Emily and the others of Dream State. Meanwhile; Emily, Sylvia, Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku and Evan were on the rooftop as they saw Wendigos approached. It turns out that they were sent out because of someone asked them as a request. They also promised to give money once getting to the spot where the Wendigos are swarming the place. Emily, thinking it was good money, accepted it and convinced Sylvia and the gang to come along. She told them she would not tolerate any complaints as she wants everyone to work as a team. Not wanting to provoke Emily’s wrath; Sylvia, Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku and Evan came along with reluctance. Now, here they were waiting the opportunity to strike. “Get in positions, boys. Stand by.” Emily commanded. She waited for Sylvia to come in. At that moment; Sylvia came in and looked at the phone’s screen while shaking her head. “We have a problem.” She finally said. “What?” asked Emily, looking at her. “There’s no money in the account.” Sylvia said, she showed the screen on the phone there and Emily was in disbelief. “Seriously?” Emily said. Sylvia glanced at her with a look and shakes her head. Emily groaned, “Mmmfh! Give me the phone.” She muttered. Sylvia looked at her with a glance of confusion, “What?” She asked. “Give me the phone…NOW!!! PRONTO!!!” exclaimed Emily. The others were startled, Sylvia immediately handed her the phone and Emily dial in the number before listening the phone rings until someone picks up finally. “What?!” The caller snapped. “Hey Mac, this is Grynte from Dream State Agency. The account here has zeroes here.” Emily said back in the phone. “No one gets paid until the job is done, got it?” The caller said in a growl-like tone. “Uh-uh, that’s not the rules. No money, no honey.” Emily said back in the phone. She looked down below as she said, “Ah, the Wendis are out. There are swarming like flies.” There were so many all over the place! Emily looked back to the phone where she saw the number zero still. “I’m still seeing nothing.” She said back in the phone. “Money: Later. Do this shit that I told you!” The caller demanded. “Nah, I think we’ll leave them be. Not our problem anymore since we’re not getting the cash what cash is due from Mac Daddy.” Emily said. “OK…OK, OK, relax you priss! There was an error, a glitch. There, satisfied?” The caller said, Emily looked at the phone after it pinged and saw a hundred million there on the screen. Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku, Evan and Sylvia smirked smugly. Emily didn’t notice as she put the phone back to her ear, “Double it, buddy.” Emily demanded. The caller growled back: “Grynte, you bitch. You got some nerve to mess with people like me. I hope I get to gut your insides out.” The others looked in shock upon hearing that, Emily was not impressed by those words either! “Whoa, whoa! Was that a threat?” Emily asked, “You won’t get to hear from me. Next time if you ask us in the future, maybe we shouldn’t help those that threaten us.” The caller was annoyed, “You crazy li’l…” He was about to say and the phone binged as the money was raised to billions. Contented; Emily smirked along with the others before saying back into the phone, “Pleasure doing business with you, Mac Daddy.” And hangs up. At once; Emily shouted: “Battle stations!” She and the others went after the Wendigos! Later, Emily and the others were done for today while also getting back to the agency. Emily came up to the booth and smiled at the grumpy merchant behind the glass. “Tickets for six, please.” Emily said to the ticket booth vendor. The vendor replied back, “Exit visa.” Said the ticket vendor. Emily and the others stare at each other as she asked, “Wha--? Exit visa?” The vendor exclaimed, “No exit visa?? NO TICKET!!!!” and shuts the window. Emily stared in disbelieved, “Hmph, rude!” She muttered. “Now what?” Ryker asked. Emily sighed, “I don’t know. Just let me think.” She said while rubbing her forehead. Ryker looked at her, “What? You don’t have an idea?” He demanded. “Will you just leave her alone?” Arlow exclaimed. “Hey, back off!” Kamoku said, pushing Arlow away. “Don’t you do that!” Evan exclaimed. Sylvia got irritated for hearing the arguments! “WILL YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT UP?!” Sylvia shouted. Emily came beside her and Sylvia turned around as she dramatically gasped. “Thank goodness it's you!” Sylvia exclaimed. She points to Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku, and Evan as she continued: “Just please remove these troublemakers from my sight...” Emily looked at the four and addressed at them, “What have you boys done to her?” The boys looked up in disbelief as they claimed in unison as they pointed to one another, “Me? It's him!” The four of them glared at each other, Sylvia threw her hands up and snarled: “HA!” She walked off as she sighed, “Men are such babies.” Sylvia mumbled. She then stopped, she saw someone entering a theatre! Sylvia was scared and rushed back to Arlow. She told him what she seen so Arlow told Ryker and the gang about it; they were shocked to hear about it! “What?” Ryker asked in shocked. “I think we should get to the back—Now! Quickly!” Arlow said, pushing the others. “Go, go, go, go!” Emily uttered quickly. “Eeek.” Sylvia squeaked softly. They hurried off but they saw a figure dancing as she looked demented, Sylvia recognized the figure resembling a Miss Bubbles doll. Then, the woman as Miss Bubbles begin to scream and almost attacked Emily & the others! The gang ran from her as they hid in the basement and stayed quiet but noticed something on a table. “There’s a funnel in the room.” Ryker commented. Arlow looked annoyed as he exclaimed, “That’s the measuring cylinder!” Kamoku came to Ryker’s defense, “No, it is a funnel. I saw it!” He claimed. “Your face is the funnel.” Retorted Evan. Emily explored around and found a package and saw something written on it. “’Special Delievery Package for Mr. Mak---What?” Emily asked in shock. “What?” Kamoku asked. Emily became nervous, “Smallberry? Please tell me that’s you…” She said in a squealing voice. “Maybe it’s Miss Bubbles coming back to rip our souls out.” Joked Arlow. “Have fun with ‘Bubbles’, I’m going back to the attic.” Evan said with a smirk. Sylvia giggled, “Chicken.” She said. “I am playing ‘I Declare War’. With guns.” Evan retaliated. “I’m going to get some custard.” Arlow said while grinning. That’s when they heard a squeak and a slam so the six of them made their way to where the sounds were coming from! They look and saw who it was. Regina using her fire powers, she was busy when she looked up and jumped in startled to see Emily. “Emily Grynte? Is that you?” She called. Emily stepped forward, “Regina? What are you doing here?” She inquired. Regina smiled slowly, “This is the theatre we come here when no one is around.” She answered. “Theatre?” Sylvia asked. Moments later; one of the children of Miss Leblanc’s House of Freaks was playing the piano. She just finished up. Miss Leblanc lead Emily and the gang in. “It’s a little private rehearsal, wonderful isn’t it?” She asked in delight. “Yes, sorry about all this.” Emily apologized, “I mean for coming and interrupting.” Miss Leblanc was surprised, “You don’t need to apologize. You are welcome here anytime.” She assured her. The child was done with the piano and another said, “My turn!” The child got up and a next one came up excitedly. Tracy and Zelda waved at Emily, who grinned back. “Won’t you sing for us, Emily Grynte?” Tracy asked. “Oh yes, please do Miss Grynte.” Miss Leblanc answered. “No, I haven’t…” Emily started to protest but Miss Leblanc interrupted, “Yes, I insist. Let us have no display of modest.” Miss Leblanc said, coming over to Emily with a smile on her face. Emily was nervous, “No, I…” She tried again but Miss Leblanc patted her shoulders while saying: “Yes, yes, you choose.” However; she whispered out of earshot from the others, “Give it a try. If you feel you can’t sing anymore, you can stop.” Emily felt reassured. “Sure.” She whispered. Ryker and Arlow each were looking away in different directions of their perspectives. Emily close her eyes, the piano begins to start and she let out a shaky breath before singing: “I’ve been flying on Cloud Nine, oblivious to reality. Stuck on this idea, I know very well I destroyed. Is this heart break the end I feel? Here I go after a dream, but every time I come close I deny myself the opportunity.” Ryker gulped, he felt his heart beating. His eyes welled with tears, her voice was beautiful! Emily continued to sing, “I’m still flying high, I’m lost in the dark searching for you, I wouldn't trade my soul for the lies you feed me. You lust after my shine, is this the end of my fight?” Kamoku, Evan, Zelda and the others were amazed by how well Emily sang! She sounded like an angel. Arlow looked away, trying to looks brooding but tears escaped his eyes. Ryker let out a shaky breath, he quietly left and heard Emily sang even more. After the performance; Emily approached a presumed depressed Ryker, he was not looking up however he spoke softly: “You sang well.” Emily smiled sadly, “I sang for you and Arlow.” She replied. “No, no. Don’t say that, it’s fine.” Whispered Ryker. Emily came beside him, “You know, I guess you missed my singing voice…Didn’t you?” She asked with a smile. Ryker looked at her; he brushed a hair from her face. “Yeah, it hasn’t changed one bit.” He admitted. Emily grinned at him and Ryker reflected back as the two hug each other. “Emily, come to me.” Abigail whispered in Emily’s mind. Emily whirled around and saw Zelda was running in. “Come quickly, there’s someone here!” She said so Emily and Ryker hurried back in but were shocked as they stood along with Arlow, Kamoku, Evan, Sylvia and the others as they were frozen in fear! There was a figure begins to beat the drums.  The other removes her gloves and her mask. From within the body suit, steps a vision who wore a black bodice has a contrasting white fold-over gathered sweetheart neckline and elastic off-the-shoulder sleeves with adjustable halter straps. The waist features a black ribbon lace-up detail. The red flared skirt has an allover gold foil print of heart outlines and clubs with a gold tulle peek-a-boo petticoat. Glowing eyes. There she was, Andrea! Kamoku grins nervously. “You've gotta be kidding me.” He uttered. At that moment; Andrea lifts her hands, both filled with piles of sparkling dust, blows the powder over the startled patrons. The dust spins out in fairy-like spirals with darkness, curling through the crowd. Folks blink their eyes, suddenly bewitched but afraid, as Andrea tilts backwards, falling into the arms of several Nightmarchers on the ballroom floor. Andrea saunters over a bridge made of the backs of the Nightmarchers, through the parting crowd, towards Emily and the others as she was before them. “Hi there.” Andrea said while waving. Emily and the others couldn’t believe it, Zelda looks up as she was sputtering out of fear slightly, “And you are...?” Andrea introduced herself while having her delicate hand out, “Andrea Carroll, at your service.” Dazed and terrified.  Zelda takes her hand with reluctance. “Why not send second class away while I could come and take your blood?” Andrea asked, Zelda moves away and is unable to speak. Andrea turns now to Regina, offers the other hand.  She blows another volley of fearful dust into her face. She cringed and is startled. “On the other hand, youth does have its advantages.  Endurance.  Stamina.” Andrea continued, advancing towards the red head girl. Regina was suddenly terrified by the sight and looks away but Andrea drapes her arms around her. “Why settle for second place?  You're just a shadow. Nothing like these badasses.  If they weren't around, you'd be the star. Come, join me, my garden of magic and shadows needs tending.” Regina fell forward almost but stops herself as Andrea reallocates swiftly from the others and levitate from the others. “Some lucky boy's about to hit the honey pot.  I'll include an evening of my company for the winner.  I'll bring everything you see here.  Plus everything you don't. And I'll bring my imagination.” She smirked at the horrified looks on everyone’s faces. “Imagination…Uh, like a nightmare hell, huh.” Emily remarked. Andrea laughed, “You took the words right out of my mouth!” She said while squealing and snapped her fingers. 

Then there was footsteps and then four girls approached as each of them looks like a little porcelain doll with big blue eyes and a round O for a mouth. Her voice has some sort of euphoric characterized by a static-like tingle sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine, precipitating relaxation. She always seem stiff, speaks in a soft voice that's equally monotone and hypnotic as well as eerie. Almost every sentence she says linger. They seem non-nonsensical, is a pop accessibility, has a vibe of creepiness and zany comedic tone! They some facts that are obvious and she reads them out like the person isn't smart enough to read it. She stands there naming names in one take and has something beneath the innocent, child-like image of hers. Each of them were wearing a faux leather bustier that has a padded under-wire cups are black and red and feature opposing black and red diamond details, a quilted bodice panel and white ruffle lace detail at the hem give this otherwise hard edge bustier a softer look. The adjustable halter straps have hematite O-rings and criss-cross in front to lead to hematite cone studded black straps that wrap around the waist. Her faux leather tutu with a fitted stretch waistband has two red diamond details printed on both hip and double layer faux leather skirts are accented with a white lace hem petticoat for a little girlishness. It was at this point, Andrea told the story about the girls: Every time little girls come home from school, they always turn on the TV to their favorite TV show, Roisin Heart’s Fairy Tale Book. The opening theme song went like this: “Here comes Roisin Heart! The sweet as sugar doll around. Oh Roisin Heart, Roisin Heart requests the pleasure of your company so come on. Good heavens, Roisin Heart you’re beautiful and cute as can be! I want to see you smile, because you make my day, Roisin Heart!” Then, a little adorable doll name Cookie was in a blue dress with ruffled shoulder straps, decorative red buttons, and a knee length skirt with polka dots. She had on white and red striped tights and Mary Jane shoes. “Guess what time it is girls! It’s time for Roisin!” She announced. She pulled the curtains back as Roisin Heart appeared. One side of her hair was pink and the other side was black. She wore a pouffy sparkly dress with lace trim and white stockings. Her makeup was painted cheeks to look like she was blushing with those rosy jowls; she has doll-looking small pink lips. “Hey there, girls! It’s me Roisin Heart! Are you ready for a Rosy good time? Follow me!” She would skip on over to a girl in a whitish pink leotard and matching sheer tulle skirt. On her feet were pink tights and matching ballet slippers with sewn in elastics and straps that are bound to the lower legs of drawstrings. Roisin Heart introduced the ballet girl, “I like you all to meet my best friend—this here is Rapunzel!” Rapunzel would smile as she stated, “That I am. But I’m not just any ballerina, I’m a prima ballerina.” Roisin Heart laughs, “Ah—ha—ha! You sure are Punsy!” She confirmed. There was a knock at the door; Roisin Heart and Rapunzel ‘Punsy’ were surprised. “Now who could that be?” Roisin Heart said. She and Punsy turned to see Cookie entering with another girl, who wore a sequin purple gown that reached her knees. She has an apron that was attached to the dress, there was a crazy amount of glitter all over, a ruffled collar with glitter there as well, and sequin puffed up sleeves. Her socks were sparking as well as her shoes and bonnet. “Hey there, little ones!” The girls greeted. “Look baby tykes, it’s Cookie and Snowy White!” Roisin Heart exclaimed with saccharine joy. Sparky greeted the audience and Roisin Heart: “Hello Roisin Heart! Punsy! What you all doing?” She asked. “Just hanging out, are you ready for an adventure?” Roisin Heart asked. “Yes I am!” Snowy confirmed. “Yay!” Cookie cheered. The show would be like this; Roisin Heart and the gang would sing and dance, laugh, go on adventures and solve problems. Roisin Heart and her friends would sing songs, besides that theme song that start the show, that were very well known. Sometimes other characters would appear on Roisin Heart’s Fairy Tale such as Dreama Beauty in an episode titled “Meet the Sleeping Beauty”. Gerda Warmheart in the episode called “Snowy’s Rival”. Reda Ryder in an episode labeled “Reda Ryder’s Hood”. Dory Osborne is an episode called “Over the Hills and Off to See the Wizard We Go”. Petra Flynt in an episode called “Fly Petra Flynt”. Corinne Jonah in an episode titled “The Door in the Wall” and Mayblossom in an episode called “May All Blossoms Grow”. There was supporting main characters called The Scarlets where they live in a mansion next door of Roisin Heart. The Scarlets were sisters—Kara, Bruna and Vianna—where they are seen as the sympathetic villains that played mean pranks towards Roisin Heart and the others, however they would express guilt as well as come clean for their actions. And as usual, Roisin Heart and her friends forgave the Scarlet Sisters. But the show ends with the infamous ending scene where Roisin Heart turned to the gang as she said to them, “We had fun today didn’t we girls?” Her friends would say, “We sure did Roisin.” And then, Roisin Heart turned to the audience as she said: “Don’t worry, and don’t you cry, another adventure will await for you tomorrow. Take care, little girls and remember—we love you!” There was a good truth behind the kid’s show: Roisin Heart was played by Mirani Himadri, Rapunzel ‘Punsy’ was played by Hitomi Suzuka, Snowy White was played by Kanara Yuzef and Ebony Clarkson was played by Cookie. Mirani, Hitomi, Kanara and Ebony were fostered sisters that were adopted by a kind lady name Stella Marjin as she took good care of the girls as they were all treated like a family equally! Mirani and her adoptive sisters were best friends as they loved one another as they want to live a normal life for once in their lives. Though nobody could take these girls so seriously as they were just stars! One day it all changed, Mirani Himadri and her adoptive sisters came home after an episode as they called out: “Mommy! We’re home!” Mirani called out. Stella had a day off today so the girls came home after being dropped off. However after Mirani called out, there was no reply so the girls walked in closer and called for their mother again. Still no answer, they looked further into the house and enter the living room. And the sisters screamed! There was their mother on the floor; she was bleeding from the temple of her forehead and unconscious. Mirani yelled out to Hitomi, “Call an ambulance!” She then turned to her mother and tries to wake her up. Later at the hospital; Mirani and the girls were in the waiting room for awhile and huddled together in the chairs. That’s when the doctor came over as Mirani was the first to stand up and ask, “How’s Mommy doing?” The doctor spoke up, “Your mother is lucky to be alive, she has a concussion but she’ll be all right. You can see her if you want.” Mirani and her sisters were relieved so they thanked the doctor and came to see their mother lying in the medic cot. “Mommy? Are you OK?” Mirani asked. Stella opened her eyes, “Mirani? Girls?” She muttered. “Mommy, do you remember anything that happened?” Mirani asked. “No…” Stella said in a slow voice. Then, she realized something and softly panicked in a voice that scared her own daughters, “I…Oh my god, I remember! Shinako and I had an argument…She was…And then…She took the vase and she…She did this to me!” It turns out that Shinako Misaki, a friend of the family turned out to be a greedy lady for money. Mirani and her sisters were shocked the once kind Shinako that helped the family would betray them. Then, things turned for the worst. Shinako and her husband, a judgmental man, keeps taunting Stella, threatened to sue to her, and terrorize to ruin their lives. The friends that Mirani and her sisters had ruined their lives: Other girls that used to be friends with Mirani stopped talking to Mirani and her sisters. The same went for the other kids as they called the girls names and laughing while displaying aggression towards them, but mainly the ring leaders behind all this was some rich girls—Taeko Misaki. They showed their true colors as they became bullies as they were all together emotionally harassing, physically hurting and verbally tormenting Mirani and the girls went through so much pain as they were being harassed by paparazzi and sleazy reporters who want the latest gossip of the rumors going on! It was then Stella attempted to take her own life because she believes she was overweight and the harassment from the friends she once trusted was betraying her. Lucky for Stella; Mirani stopped her and try to snap her out of it. But at school, Taeko and her sisters as well as their friends begin to harass Mirani and the girls on the playground one day which became the last straw. “Gee, your mommy trying to hurt herself? Must’ve been messed up to do that.” Taeko taunted. Her friends begin to laugh which cause Mirani to snap and grabs Taeko by the throat as she screamed: “DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT ABOUT MOMMY!!! YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!!! ALL OF YOU!!” It took about the other girls to pull Mirani off Taeko, sadly Mirani never regained her sanity because of all the things that happened to her. And soon, Mirani and her sisters as well as their mother went off the map for a little while. Years later; Mirani returns as she became a wealthy young lady and reunited the sisters’ as well as their clan. Mirani was given a warm welcome because she has perky breasts, voluptuous lips and a slim but buxom figure. Mirani told the family about her wealthy life, which impressed Shinako and her family as they accept her because she had money! However, the family was the ones to witness Mirani being a total vindictive young lady who insults the family and laughs as if they were jokes she caused. Mirani then act like she didn’t insult the family, no one believes Mirani was a vindictive shrew underneath the superior attitude. Mirani and her other sisters became vicious with the family when they got into self centered antics as one time Taeko was being selfish and was called on it. “Why does everyone hate me?” Taeko demanded. “It’s because you’re a bitch!” Mirani claimed. Everyone gasped, Taeko stared in disbelief. “Excuse me?” She asked. “You heard me! You’re a hussy and your entire family is no different! YOU’RE THE RISQUE BITCHES AND CRAPPY HUSSIES!!!” exclaimed Mirani. She swung a fist into Taeko’s face and kicks her in the stomach so hard that Mirani had to be dragged away! However, she calmed down as if nothing happened and there was no charge against her. It got worse when Mirani sent gifts of dead animals, blood bags, and adult intimacy objects to the family manor. Notes and letters with profanities, threats and accusations. The police couldn’t do anything for the family and accuse them of being crazy. Hitomi, who also gained wealth and beauty as well as cleverness, try to light the family’s house on fire and drugged Taeko’s drink, took pictures of her naked body and written graffiti on her unconscious body. Ebony chased Taeko and her sisters with a chainsaw and chopped her hair off while spraying her with alcohol and trying to stab her. Mirani and Hitomi were pulling the sisters’ hair as well as making them cry, while the two girls accused of Taeko’s younger sisters of being attention hussies as well as scam artists. All of the dysfunctional sisters’ drinks were drugged while they were at a house party. They were victim blamed and bullied by other people there. And that wasn’t all; Shinako and her husband were exposed for scamming their previous clients that they had work with before. The evidence was shown as Shinako was played on house arrest after making a simple deal with her lawyer beside her. In her devastation; Shinako’s house was vandalized and almost burnt down! Shinako couldn’t take the pain anymore and try to attempt suicide but her husband came to the rescue. It was at this point, Taeko and her sisters mocked their mother for trying to take her own life. Her husband and younger daughters sided with Shinako as they argue with Taeko and her sisters’ bullying towards their own mother—it was shocking to see how much dysfunctional was going on with this family! Just then, they receive a note in the mail in handwriting of big letters: “Your mother trying to hurt herself? Must’ve been messed up to do that for such a gold-digging bitch!” But Taeko and her family weren’t the only ones who suffered but the others girls did too. Other girls were being ripped off by her managers because she was told that she’s ripping off other people and Bianca was upset. Photos and videos leaked of one of the posse girls harassing a crying girl and yelling at the girl, making it worst for her. Their rooms were a wreck, clothes were ripped and make up as well as other things were all over the place. Written on the walls said, “No wonder no one likes being your friend, you primadonna hussy!” Hair was lit on fire by the hairdresser and accusations towards them. One of the girls was shoved down a flight of stairs and her burnt hair was chopped off! A girl came up to the girls and screamed in one of their faces before pinching her while pulling at Taeko’s tresses so hard that there was clumps of hair all over the ground. Another girl dig her nails in Taeko’s scalp painfully with blood cuts, the girl then yells, “She is a tramp and should die!” All the other posse girls were in tears. Emily and the others are shocked by this, they were terrified. Andrea smiled hugely as she said: “Now it’s time to play my favorite parts! And Mirani and the girls need to see this for themselves.” She pulled out a Moneta with a sneer on her face. 

The Moneta played memories on there from previous: Emily was tensed and quivering with shock as well as grief, she had her hair down like a curtain to hide her face. Hot tears streaming down her face, Ryker and the others watched her in concern. “I don’t…I don’t know what to say…” Artem stammers. “You don’t know what to say?! Ohhh, sure! THE MONSTERS ARE YOURS BECAUSE YOU ARE LIKE YOUR FATHER!!! And now, you are control of this because of your obsession with your taste of resurrecting the dead? You think this whole thing is an experiment to you?!” Emily ranted. Artem protested while she was yelling, “No, no, no! I don’t see everything as an experiment!!!” Emily shouted, “WELL, IT’S SICK!!!! SICK AND TWISTED!!! I HATE YOU SO MUCH ARTEM PAYNE!!!” Artem then called out, “PLEASE….!!!” But Minako said in a firm tone, “Please calm down! Everyone just calm down!” She managed to talk some sense into Emily who turns to Artem with a patient but violent stare. “Artem, you have 30 seconds. Speak while you still have a chance…GO!”  Emily commanded. Artem nodded feebly, “All right…All right, uh I—I had suffered…I’ve seen people went through diseases that are lethal and cannot be cured. Some who have weeks…Maybe months or years to live. Can you imagine that?” He managed to say. “Oh, that’s soo tragic!” Kamoku said with sarcasm. “YOU!!! SHUT UP!!!” Emily exclaimed. Artem spoke again, “Makun, sir, shh please! Eh—eh—um…I uh, I want to help them! I want them to be given a second chance…In death, it’s no different from life…I mean, I’m not a sadism towards humanity…I adore it so much, it’s so beautiful.” Artem grinned nervously. “Adoring humanity? Yeah, sure that’ll be in the papers…” Ryker remarked but Emily interrupted him, “WHAT DID I SAY?! NO—BODY SPEAKS!!!! NO TALKS UNLESS I SAY SO!!!” She turned to Artem: “Did you take part with those other bastards? Did you?” She asked frantically with rage. “No, never! I never want to hurt any of them!” Artem protested. Emily nodded, “OK, how many survivors are out there?” She asked. Artem was shocked, he said back anxiously, “You don’t want to know.” Emily smiled with no humor in it, “Oh I do, Artie. How many? Tell me…” She said. Artem shook his head, “No Emily…” He started to object. “…No more hiding things FROM ME!!! Artem, I’M NOT SCREWEING WITH ANYONE!!! TELL ME NOW OR ELSE!!” Emily screeched, her powers were out of whack! Everyone got scared, Artem was trying to calm down and Emily kept screaming while more tears ran down. Her furious nature was enough to scare people away from her! The next memories played out where Minako was in a good mood tonight and things were quiet, just the way she liked it. Kamoku was pleased to see her contentment like this and how she looked rather cheery. “You seem happier.” Kamoku noted. Minako beamed at him, “Sure I am. What an astounding week, a miracle that Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly aren’t here.” She said with confidence. “You’re not scared of Andrea and her family are you?” Kamoku asked. Minako laughed. “Me? No, she can try but I’m not too scared.” She bragged. But her smile faded when she saw someone standing there and approaching, it was none other than Andrea! “Aww what’s wrong? Did you miss me?” Andrea taunted, “I missed you. All of you.” Everyone was shocked as well as frightened. Andrea steps forward while saying, “Did you really think that we’d left you for good? We have another game to play!” The Nightmarchers came along while Emily and the others are fighting against them. During that time; Mora pulls out an electric cattle prod and knocks out Peyton & Evan. She carries them both with her psychic powers. She smirked in a sadistic way at the others. “Let them go, you witch!” exclaimed Emily. Minako tried to sneak attack however the Nightmarchers apprehend her as well as Jade! They knocked them out with their long nails in their skin, Andrea sneers as she stated: “We’re done here, so if you care to know where your friends are, come to the Travel Dime facility. Bye for now!” And she vanished as well as the others. Kamoku was worried for his friends as Emily and the agents managed to find the Travel Dime facility and eventually found it as they hurried over to the location. In the meantime; Peyton and Evan were strapped to a chair, wrists were restrained on arm rests and legs shackled to feet of a chair. Andrea smiled, “Isn’t it exciting? Seeing the terror upon Minako and Jade’s faces? Oh you two wait and see, I have just begun darlings.” She said. “You sick little bitch, you’re not getting away with this!” Evan protested. “Rude boy!” Mora exclaimed. She uses her powers to punch them both in the gut hard that they coughed up blood. Mora smiled, she licked the blood running from Evan’s mouth while her arms are around him. “You taste good, sweet boy. She moaned. Andrea agreed, “Yes sister but could our Human Teddy Bear taste good to?” She walked over to Peyton, who looks scared, as Andrea put a finger towards the blood and licks it. Peyton shudders, Andrea rubbed her leg over his thighs and moaned. She lean over and kissed Peyton’s top of his head. The Moneta turned on, Andrea squealed: “Oooh, the show’s about to start!” She put her thigh down and swung over to the Moneta as if she was waiting for the screen to turn on. Minako and Jade were strapped to a pair of beds, they were pinned down while their eyes are pried open by specula, which prevents them from closing their eyes. The two girls were forced to watch the Moneta playing the memory of Peyton and Evan who were bound and gagged while tortured by the instructions of Edom Hiroki. Minako and Jade screamed in pain by these footage images being played over and over again! Peyton and Evan were terrified to hear this; they were cringing at Andrea and Mora who laughed darkly. But they were even frozen in fear when Mora went behind Evan and places her arms around him as she rested her head on his shoulders. Andrea glanced at Peyton, “Aww! Is somebody a little scared? You know, just seeing you like this, I gotta say I’m just a sucker for pain. Don’t you like that? You know you do baby.” Andrea said. Peyton writhed in his bonds at her touch. “You know, I’m feeling a turn on here, I like to see you boys all tied up. Same with girls too, gosh what is about the bound and gag? Ugh! Such frustration!” She and Mora laughed together, Mora then shouts: “Come on, baby! Do it!” She gestured to her sister. But Andrea gasps softly as she saw a vision of Emily and the team as she glances over at her sister with a sneer, “We got company.” She stated. Mora sneered back as she chanted, “Kiddies, kiddies, kiddies.” There was a sound of something that broke! Mora growled, “Stupid kids, you're ruining our girls’ night!” She rushed out of the room! Andrea is about to leave but turns as she uses her telekinetic powers that punched the boys, they coughed up blood again and they were knocked unconscious. Andrea blew a kiss, “See you later boys.” She said. And ran off! Andrea and Mora approached Emily, who used her powers but the sisters taunts saying, “So…Did you see what we did to your friends? Your darling friends, Kammy boy?” Kamoku was shocked, he gets angry and tries to attack them! Just then, Andrea dodged it and laughs while running off. Tate and his squad managed to find Minako and Jade, who looked catatonic. The specula had been removed from the girls’ lids of their eyes; Minako saw Anita and Kamoku as she let out an emotional relief of a sigh and embraced them both. “Oh Kamoku…Anita…I….” Minako sobbed. Anita pats her back, “It’s OK, Minako.” She said. In the meantime, Jade had been released as she was hugging Kelly and crying. Kelly could only hug her back as she says to her gently, “Just cry, Jade…Just cry.” In the meantime; Menom and Jacey were releasing Peyton from the restraints, they carried him out. Arlow also released Evan from the binding harnesses, he helped him out. “Aw man, Andrea…That monster….that bitch…” muttered Evan under gritted teeth. “Snap out of it, Graham. Or Andrea and Mora will get their victory. Don’t give up now; think about your little sister Moya. Please don’t give in.” Arlow advised him. This caused Evan to snap out of his shock. Everyone gathered and headed to main area where Andrea was, the others caused their powers to create thunderous rackets! Mora and Andrea jumped at the sound of a loud noise. Kitty and Polly tipped over while yelping incoherently. “Oh my! Oh dear! Oh my! Oh dear! Oh my oh my oh my!” Mora exclaimed. Andrea checked the cameras while she said in a humorous crazy tone, “Check the cameras, what’s going on out there?” Mora looked too and said, “Uh oh sister! They’re loose!” Andrea growled in anger, “That’s not fair!” She and her sisters were about to flee when the doors burst open with a boom. Emily, her friends, Seven Nation Army, and 21 Guns Navy stood there glaring at them. “It’s over, Andrea!” Emily declared. With a hand clap; Andrea summoned the Nightmarchers and smiles, “It hasn’t begun Emmy!” She said while spreading her arms out. With that, she and her sisters turned and ran out! Leaving Emily and the others to fend off against the Nightmarchers. The gang overpowered the beasts before fleeing from sight. After she recovered and now Emily & the boys decide to go find Andrea; an emotional Minako looked up solemnly at everyone as she said in a chilling, demanding tone: “Bring me the Carroll Family back here! I want them here, and I want them brought at my feet!” Kamoku and the others nodded. However to make her point clear, Minako exclaimed: “You hear me?! At! My! Feet!!!”  Emily nodded, “You got it.” She confirmed. And so they head to an abandoned building where Andrea resided this. Once Emily, Kamoku, Onorato, Peyton, Evan and Tsubaki headed inside the building; Andrea twirled around while singing softly, lost in her own world. Then, she noticed that she has company and smiles in dark delight. “Hiya boys, Emily. How else did you find me?” Andrea asked with mock surprise. Emily walked over however she shrugged. “Just follow the blood stained yellow brick road, down the nightmarish white rabbit hole and into the sick twisted wonderland.” She stated. “Oooh, that’s a nice haiku. I’ll have to remember to write it down.” Andrea said, “And now for my next trick…Stay there, Emily Grynte.” Emily kept walking, and she did not smirk. Kamoku smirked. “Errrgh, shit!” cursed Andrea. She then said, “OK, OK, you know what? Fine, I won’t let you. You will renounce your powers, give them up and never use them! But your powers aren’t the work of the devil nor are they witchcraft.” Emily stopped dead in her tracks, those words reminded her of the confrontation with her father from earlier. “You heard all of that?” She asked. Andrea pretends to look sad but a smile crept upon her face. “I loved it! Surprise, Daddy-kins had it coming.” She exclaimed. That’s when Andrea snapped her fingers and she called: “Darling? Would you come in the room please?” Evita approach beside Andrea, which she giggles as she said, “Allow me to introduce you to my lovely assistant.” Emily and the gang were shocked, “Who are you?” Tsubaki inquired. “Evita Hemmings. I serve my master for my purpose is his desires to bring life out of death.” Emily looked at her, “Life out of death? Who is your master? Victor Frankenstein? Herbert West?”  She asked. “That is none of your concern, my goal is to protect him.” Evita answered. “Look, I don’t think neither of us cares who you are or what you do. Or what your master is and what he does for a living…We’re only here to take down Andrea and her family.” Emily stated. Andrea laughed, “Oh yes! Kidnap us? Yeah, right.” Then she sounds diverse as she watched the reactions of the others. “What an astounding week, a miracle that Minako and Jade aren’t here. She can try but I’m not too scared.” She said in a different sound of voice. Emily’s eyes widened in horror. Just then; Evita chuckled, “Mistress Andrea, I’m sorry but that was a horrible impersonation.” She said. Andrea scowled, “It’s not my fault she’s stuck in my head!” She protested. Emily looked at Andrea in amazement. Peyton, Evan, Tsuabki and Onorato gaped in disbelief. Kamoku threw his hands up in disbelief, “She’s imitating Minako!” He exclaimed. “Heh, almost Kam.” Peyton declared meekly. Andrea glares at the others, she turned to Evita and commanded: “Evita? Would you do the honors?” As if on cue; Evita strips off her blue pinstripe dress to reveal a white mini gown with short sleeves and the length of the dress reached her knees almost. Evita crouch down into a squat, she let out a shaky gasp as she felt her body shuddered. Her spine protruded from her back, her fingers become claws and feet got sharper. Her sclera turns black while her pupils were amber. She bared her jagged teeth and snarled gently but furiously. Emily and the others gasped. “Oh my god! She’s a---a—Wendigo!” The guys back away in terror and prepared to transformed if necessary to battle. “My master has made me a servant, a protector and I will remove all obstacles in my path.” Evita glanced over at Andrea, “Andromeda?” She asked. Andrea nodded, “Go get ‘em, girl.” She declared. Evita nodded as she pounced Peyton, who looked terrified, she then cut a gash across his cheek and licked the bleeding wound. Peyton whimpered in fear however Andrea growled and kicked at Evita in a fit of rage. She came beside Emily and the others while she said, “They’re all my toys, my playmates. But I’ll keep you safe, all of you.” Andrea leaned in and kissed the side of Kamoku’s face. Kamoku pulled away, trying to catch his breath. It was at this point; Andrea puts her arms around Kamoku, Evan, Peyton, Onoichi, and Tsubaki while saying: “Yes, my playmates to be kept safe and sound…” She continued to say while she rubbed Peyton’s back but eventually pinched it, “….But only I get to play and no one else gets to take ANY OF YOU OR BREAK MY TOYS!!!” The pinch caused Peyton to cringe, “Ow.” He said. Andrea grabbed both Kamoku and Evan’s chins, squeezing their cheeks. “But I’m the one to toy with my play thing.” Cooed Andrea, “My boy toys, my Cherry Boys—I can pluck the ripest one. You can’t escape me sweetie.” Kamoku and Evan struggles while grunting. Andrea smirked at Emily, who glares at her with retaliation and her telekinesis was about to go hay-wired. “I will save them, I will protect them.” She thought. However, Emily had a vision that made her smile and sneered down at Andrea. “What’s so funny?” Andrea asked. “It seems like your little ‘toys’ aren’t going to be played with anymore, you got yourself a visitor coming to join the party.” Emily remarked. Andrea was confused, “What?” She asked. Just then, there was a shot sound and Andrea let out a cry of pain as she released Kamoku and Evan from her grasp. The girl leaped and in instant she landed on her feet. She stood up as Emily noted out loud, “Silence Duguid, also known as her real name Stephanie Carroll. Advanced powers of speed and strength while also her reflexes are abnormal, compare to the average human.” The others looked at her while Silence smiled. “You mean she’s….not human?” Onorato asked. “Superhuman to be exact, this chick can do some pretty kick ass things.” Replied Emily. She turned to Silence and echoed Rosemary’s words to her: “Go get ‘em, girl.” She declared. Like a bat out of hell; Silence Duguid was swift by movement and took down Andrea. Andrea was angry, she then screeched: “STOP INTERFERING SISTER!!!!” Silence didn’t reply, instead she was moving as her reflexes were undeniably quick. Superhuman advanced perhaps. Silence loaded her sniper rifle with bullets and aimed high at the Wendigos before shooting down the crawling monsters. Boy, this girl was quick to be on her toes but they don’t call her the Perfect Sniper Assassin for nothing, despite being a teenage girl! “Damn, she’s good! Faster than a cat, a cheetah or any other wild feline. Who the hell is this girl? Where did Darko Maverick found her?” thought Emily. Silence continues to help her and the others fight the monsters while also Andrea’s wrath! After taking down her sister; Silence wrote down something for only Andrea to read in a jiffy, “I’ll never let you win, Andromeda. NEVER!!” Andrea try to strike at Silence however a hand grabbed Andrea who looked up and was shocked to see it was Ryker Smallberry! Andrea gasps, Ryker sneers down at her. “Hello Andrea.” He greets. Andrea deeply sighs, “Hi…Ryker…I miss you, Ryker.” She whispered. “Me too, I’m ready for what happen to my friends. Me and what you & your family did to Arlow. To Minato. And everyone else!” Ryker claimed. “Oooh, revenge yes! It’s turning me on!” Andrea moaned. “Shut up!” Ryker exclaims. He attacks however Andrea dodges it. She places her hands around Ryker from behind, “You’ll never beat me, darling.” And she fled from sight! Emily and the gang followed behind. The third part of the memories played of Emily and the gang saw sculptures of their past lives as if frozen in time. “Have I ever told you the meaning of obsession? No? Let’s get a dictionary….Obsession: Something that takes over your mind, then your life revolves around that certain and most import thing that gets to be that sort of addiction. You may wonder if my life was a sham, no it was not. But full of pain? Oh yes indeed. No pun intended. What matters to me are that I’m in desperate need for live and affection. Something I longed for, so empty and yet I’m feeling very selfish. I don’t really care how people feel towards me or my family. You see, Mora and I—even our beloved family—want something to fill that void. Got our eyes on you people since Day 1. You guys complete me, you’re like my brand of heroin but much healthier than any other alcohol or drug. Once upon a time, all was just average but this extraordinary change can be intimidating and nauseating with all that gore. I mean, buckets of blood. Gallons of organs, it can be so friggin’ tedious so what we need is something to fill that emptiness. It’s such a comfort to know there is so much more to this passive life. Don’t you see? You are the whole world to the Carroll family. We want you so badly to put our names on our ‘toys’ that need our most undying protection! All I want is for you to love each and every one of us from minute to minute…I can treat you the way I want to, not the pretend way but whatever you do don’t think too much! We are unable to control the thoughts of ourselves. We never wanted to be addicted to you people but happens and we want your undivided attention. We don’t want to be ‘in love’, if you prefer to call it that, nevertheless there is some sort of charm. A precious gem glowing that’ll hurt anyone’s eye from the beauty of it all. I don’t know but I can see it in your eyes. Your thoughts. Everything about what you are today: Momma killed by Wendigos, used and tortured as a lab rat, sister became heartbroken and after days of insanity, she killer herself. Sister forced by a Nazi-like leader to become a living weapon, both suffers of torment from agony, sister was murdered by Wendigo hybrids, friends murdered in cinema pictures for no reason or is there something to it?” Emily and the others walked a little closer as it sound like Andrea was nearer. “Maybe, it was a cruel act of savagery.” Andrea said, “My point is…” That’s when, Emily was struck from behind. Andrea grinned down at her madly after stabbing her with a dagger while she stated, “…This whole world can make someone like me go insane.” Andrea continued to rant: “You don’t know the cruelty of life or why people become cynical by all this. Conflict will always exist as long as humans are on Earth. Things like murder and war; they have over time become a part of human culture as a whole. I mean do you ever think about 260 people that were injured and three were killed when two bombs went off near the finish line at an annual running marathon? Underneath our image of social cohesion – we’re ‘savages’, barely even human at times – that are capable of horrific actions. We attempt to differ ourselves from the animal kingdom with social customs, clothing, but these are just facades .Underneath all the social rules and customs we’ve created, underneath the rational brain and civilizations, we’re no different from the other animals guided purely by instinct, the 'savages'. After all that, I need to know one original thing, HOW COME YOU HAVEN’T LOST YOUR MIND?! WHY HAVEN’T YOU SNAPPED?!” Andrea screamed the last part of her words and raised her foot to stomp on Emily, who seized it and threw her backwards into the wall,. “Because I snapped once and let me tell you, it wasn’t fun…At all.” Emily said. Andrea looked at her broken wrist and twisted it until it was healed as she try to fight back but Emily was a lot tougher. “I spoke to Minako earlier, she wants you and your sisters brought back to Dream State Agency at her feet. And that’s why we’re here—to take you down. Here’s something you to know, since what you did to her and Jade; she’s one of the more level headed and logic people I’ve known. Not everyone snaps all the time…Maybe…You’re wrong.” Emily said. Andrea growled and try to use her powers to break her but Emily instead used her own abilities and she banged Andrea against the wall harder when the wall crumbled and Andrea plunged into the wall! It was then Andrea fell into a vat of blood with a splash. Much to everyone’s surprise; Emily dived in after and both of them re-emerged from the vat. Andrea looked up in shock, “Wh—what?” She stammered. “Wh—Why?” Emily just simply smiled at her, “Easy. I gotcha.” She whispered. Silence was stunned as a smile appeared on her face. She then looked over to the others who could only stare in shock. Silence pretends to scowl before looking away with an ‘Hmph!’ while she turns away from the confused boys. Silence begins to smirked and giggled quietly. Emily flew back to where Andrea had fallen out from and placed her on the ground where the others were. Emily wiped the blood away from her hair and face. During that time, Peyton looked over at the unconscious girl as curiosity got the best of him. He reached over to touch Andrea’s shoulder but Andrea reacted by screaming, she begin to have a frightening breakdown and weep in such agony. She begins to hug herself into a fetal position that stunned everyone—even Emily! Only Silence wasn’t so shocked because she seen it before, instead she had a look of pity across her façade that was trying to look as serious but it was hard. Andrea hissed at them: “He deserved to die, they ALL DESERVED TO DIE!!!...And I will continue, will you? Won’t you?” With that, Andrea turned and vanished! When the Moneta ended; Andrea moaned to herself pleasurably while she puts her arms around her waist. “Aaaugh! It’s so thrilling!” She said with a high gasp spilling out! She giggled like a child. “Are you mad?” Sylvia asked. Mora puts her index finger up, “Uh uh, don’t interrupt the moment please. No killing it.” She scolded. 

During this time; Emily reads Andrea and Mora’s minds as she could see the sensual dreams playing out again and again: Andrea tries to kiss Ryker but he shies away, “I can't...” He managed to say while trying to leave. Andrea stopped him by grabbing his shoulder and breathes out a shaky mouthful of air: “You know when I saw you the first time since the last time we saw each other--this is I was desperate to hold you a bit longer. But I couldn't because what if you thought of me as nothing.” Andrea said, she laughed nervously as Ryker 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.” Andrea said with a sly grin. Ryker nodded, “OK…” He said in a nervous tone of voice. Her knee slowly brought up in between Ryker’s thighs, then she starts rubbing there and Ryker closes his eyes and tilts his head back. His 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. He could feel himself flush may extend over the chest and upper body. He started to feel tight at just the thought of what was going to happen, Ryker's veins pulsed and were hard enough to see through his rage and resistance. His body thrust up and down, Andrea could hear him breathing. Ryker’s body throbbed and his heart raced with excitement. That’s when, Andrea reached for someone else and Ryker was shocked to see Kamoku was in the same room as he was. Was this a set up? Now; Andrea is grinding against Kamoku, as she kisses him passionately, her tongue exploring the inside of his mouth. Her hands were roaming his body, groping his skin and rubbing it, as they tumbled back as they lay in the bed with each other. Andrea heaved and soon moaned Kamoku’s name, she slowly moved towards him, pulling his buttoned shirt apart gently and leaning in, starting to kiss at his throat. She goes down to his collarbone and she kissed his skin and he moans, his head inclined up and Andrea’s lips were making soft smack sounds as her intakes air while her tongue took action. “Be gentle, Andrea...Please...” Kamoku spoke quietly, biting his lip as he looked down at Andrea, before he let out a quiet gasp. “You taste good, love...” Came Andrea's slightly muffled voice, as she slowly moved her lips down. She’s performing so well here that Kamoku gripping the bed sheets and having muscle contractions in pleasure. Andrea wraps her arms around him and lightly graze her fingernails down his back; using her hips which increase her thrusts. The three of them moaned softly, shivered, and holding each other. In another dream sequence; Andrea moved forward and kissed Minato. She continued soft kisses on his lips and Minato returned Andrea's kisses. His tongue danced in her mouth, exploring every nook and cranny. Andrea put her hand on his waist and slowly continued kissing him, refusing to allow their lips to part. Soft moans ricocheted in each other's mouth from the passionate embrace. Andrea was speechless, the only sounds escaping her lips being soft moans. her breathing was getting erratic. However, she pulls away and she leads Minato to where Onorato was sleeping. Andrea sits down next to Onorato on the couch and stroke his hair. She gazed at his beautiful face, and something important occurs to her. She leans forward slowly, and kiss Onorato's lips lightly and she slides an arm around the back of his neck and pulls him in closer, kissing as she slides her tongue against his, reveling in the soft, different feel of his tongue and mouth. Andrea kisses him passionately, putting her hands on his side of his waist and pulling him close. Wordlessly, she pushes Onorato back up until they were both sitting, circling her tongue against his. His mouth was soft, his warmth so intimate, it makes Andrea want to melt. Minato comes from behind and caressed Andrea’s shoulders, he then grabbed the cattle prod and shocked her, Andrea let out moans while the cattle prod in hand was pulsing with lust. Andrea moaned, squirming as the pleasure began to overtake her. The sensation of the cattle prod inside her now and felt intense, warm pressure. As the feeling began to intensify, and she knew she was close to the edge, her body tensed, awaiting the release. Andrea's heart raced as Minato resumed his place at her shoulder blades and pushed further inside. Andrea moaned, her eyes rolled up. Minato thrusts as she pounded into Andrea's sore, stretched wound with his hand. Andrea shuddered and moans while letting out a long, satisfied sigh after breaking away from the kiss with Onorato. She slumped back and curled up around herself, coming to rest with her head next to Minato and Onorato, who climbed onto the couch and into the arms of Andrea's embrace. She moaned and she curled up, contented. For the time being; Mora begins to have a dream as well in her sleep: Someone took him by the wrists from behind and place his hands on the table palms down. Arlow's whole body erupts into a shivering wave of goose bumps as he feels a very delicate touch of fingers move from the top of his shoulders, across his neck onto the opposite shoulder and then down his back. His heart beat was racing now with dread. "O-o-o-oh" Mora was heaving and her face contorted with pleasure, her moans and whimpers start anew. Mora's body shimmies and she drives her cattle prod ruthlessly into his mouth. She feels his saliva and blood dripping onto her tongue and greedily gulp them down. She shivers with pleasure; Mora really loved the way Arlow writhed of his tightly bound body. Earlier, she had bound him tightly to the frame. He had screamed as he arches away from her cattle prod as he screamed in agony. She was whispering softly she stroked him occasionally just to keep him in agony. Mora loved the way his body twisted under her caress. Arlow grunted as the his flesh was in torment. His mind closed as he let the pain take him into his secret place and tormented him as he never imagined it could. Moments later; Arlow felt her next to him, cuddling and cooing, as she soothed his flesh with the scented oil. Her hands were gentle now. As she held him, his tears slowly stopped, Arlow's breathing slowed. Andrea smiled but out of the corner of her eye, she saw two retreating figures. Mora smiled and said to Arlow, “I’ll be right back.” She turned and walked off as Arlow watched her in horror. Peyton and Evan were running away when they heard a rustling behind them. Just as they turn to see what it is, a force of power choked them and the boys try to struggle to escape but Mora's power is too strong. The last thing they remember before passing out is the sound of Mora whispering, “That's it boys, sleep tight......” The next moment later was of Mora standing up, she pulls out the wooden cutting knife. "Do you like what you see? You know you want it. I can see it in your eyes. You need me to screw you hard, don't you?" moaned Mora. "No......no......" muttered Peyton. "Lying bastard. Let me show you how much you need this." With tears running down his face, he closes his eyes and open his mouth. Peyton could smell her sweet scent off the wooden cutting knife just before she shoves the tip of the wooden knife past his mouth. The wooden knife fills his mouth and this made him gag from the blood he could taste off there. Grabbing his head, she begins to slide the wooden knife in and out of his mouth. "Oh yeah, baby, that's what I'm talking about. Damn, that feels good." Opening his eyes; Peyton look up to see Mora’s head rolled back in ecstasy. Peyton feels the heat as the ordeal disgust Peyton felt at having a cattle prod forced upon him made his stomach turned. With each thrust, a small moan escapes Mora's lips. “Yeah, I knew you'd love it. How long has it been since you've been with a real gal?” She panted. Mora gently inserted her index finger into his wound on the collarbone, continuing to lick and stroked the inner lining of the wound, feeling the rough ridges. Peyton was horrified as he let out a painful moan, his back arching, and then slamming onto the wall. "Unnffff..." Mora moaned. "Yessss..." She moaned. “You’re sick! Sick in the head!” Evan exclaimed. “Oh you naughty, naughty boy. How could you resist a girl like me? We'll have to do something about it then, wont we?” she said quietly, standing only inches away from Evan now. "What are you...?" He mumbled as she pressed against his skin. "Isn't this what you want?" she purred and moaned quietly. "What are you doing?" Evan asked. She produced a long, thick cattle prod. "Let’s play!" she announced, a naughty twinkle in her eyes. She then spread his arms out and she looked at his horrified face, licking her lips. She ran the cattle prod lightly over and before parting them slightly. She slid the cattle prod across, working her way to his back side. Evan moaned and squirmed, desperate for his release from him. She toyed with his clothed body, the powerful vibrations reverberating through his body. "Was that so bad?" Mora purred. Evan was shocked, the feel of her body against Evan as they slid further together, limbs entwined, her trying to get as close as she possibly could. "I want you." Her words were soft but clear, “I want you so much, Evan...I haven't thought about anything else since you and Peyton....I've wanted this for so long.” She firmly holding both their wrists, and using her powers to keep the two from trying to get away, there was nothing he could do to stop them.  Evan was frightened at this sight. "Wait," he murmured, "No, wait. Please....Please, don't." Peyton and Evan tried to keep their mouths closed, however Evan's mouth was suddenly filled with the blood stained cattle prod. As he struggled, Mora turned to Peyton and pinned him. "Open wide." Mora grunted, barely giving Peyton time to obey before shoving the other cattle prod in his mouth. "Stop! Please..." The cattle prods were pumping furiously into the boys' mouths. Mora chuckled, "You could tell I'm a little horny, right?" She asked. Peyton could only moan softly. Mora timed the thrusts of the cattle prod to match the pace of her stroking. Mora began moaning softly as her body took control, she couldn't fight it. It had been too long, and her body was too desperate for the release. Back with Andrea, her dreams begins to accelerate: Tsubaki try to back away but Andrea had smacked Tsubaki so hard his entire body fell straight back onto the chair with me in it. Andrea pulled him awkwardly to his feet. The three all gawked at him and held each arm by my wrist tightly. They pulled my arms outstretched to each side as Tsubaki struggled. Andrea reached for him and pulled straight up in his seat. Andrea grabbed and pinched hard pulling his wrists down forcefully. They both hurt badly and were getting sore from the abuse. Tsubaki struggled to get an arm free with no success. Then, they got Tsubaki over the desk as his wrists were still held outstretched. Andrea walk up behind him with a cattle prod smacked his hard forcing his up to his feet. His skin stung under the skin as Andrea's boot kicked his legs apart and seated him back in the chair. Andrea was fumbling around with the cattle prod and ripping a hole, she insert the head of the cattle prod and slamming all the way into his skin. The cattle prod was wide enough to stretching the skin slowly. Andrea began pumping in and out, blood spurting. The sisters giggled at Tsubaki's agony. The cattle prod was pounding inside of him as her slender fingers dug into his abdomen sharply into him. Mora lifted him on her shoulders and placed the cattle prod which had entered the hole in his wound created by Andrea. She slammed the cattle prod hard inside his skin. She increased the strength of the prod's squeezes. Mora wasn't ashamed, she let out a exhilarating moan to make it clear that she was climaxing. Mora then withdrew the cattle prod and flipped him over, Tsubaki was reluctant but he kept his eyes closed and parted his mouth away in reluctance. Mora put the cattle prod in slowly sliding it over and he began sucking the vile tasting blood stained prod, Mora was behind him pumping in and out in a rhythm. Mora was moaning loudly as she grabbed Tsubaki roughly. Mora flipped him over to seat him in the chair and began lapping at the wound in the skin. Mora lowered herself onto Tsubaki and she grabbed both his shoulders and kneaded them as she continued drink his blood away. Mora's body convulsed as she had gotten another yelp of pain out of him. His body jerked and he felt his right side fall and hit the floor. Mora stood up triumphant standing over him. Emily shot up, “Oh my god! That’s creepy!” She remarked. 

At an instant; Andrea stopped and stared at her, “What?” She asked. Emily glared at her, “How could you dream about them like that?” She demanded. Andrea’s eyes widened in horror! “You—you saw…? Oh no!” She gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. Mirani breaks character as she clutched her head, she panicked until Andrea screamed at her: “STOP YELLING YOU CRAZY BITCH!!!” She stamped her foot. “You made me into this!” Mirani protested. “I made you into what you wanted to be! I was only trying to give you the power you need for revenge on those that ruined you and your family! Humiliated you! Tear you apart!” Andrea exclaimed. “You didn’t prepare me for this!” Mirani said in a choked up voice. Andrea is angry and rushes off in a flash while Emily and the gang went to go find her. During that time; Emily gasped when she saw the visions of Andrea’s stressed expression on her face, she turned around and yelled: “Guys, look out!” The four boys turned to see but all they saw was Andrea in a navy blue corset with a deep V slash and tightly laced. She has on a matching skirt, no sleeves and only shoulder straps. Her complexion is pale-white, dark lips and light pink eyes! Andrea let out a howl as she pounced the gang, whom they dodged quickly, “Old wounds bleed as bright as new ones. You dare laugh at me!?” growled Andrea. “What’s wrong with you?” Ryker asked, “We’re not laughing at you!” Andrea shrieked while using her powers, “Liar!” But Andrea used her telekinetic powers to hurl Andrea away. Emily gasped, she and the others ran over to see if she was OK. “Andrea?” Emily asked in a tender voice. Kamoku knelt before Andrea, “Hey Andrea…?” He asked. Andrea was panting, “No….no….! Stay away!” She whimpered. “Wha…?” Kamoku asked, reaching a hand towards her but Andrea moved away screeching: “DON’T TOUCH ME!!!” She swiftly backed away as Arlow called out: “Wait!!!” Andrea turned around to exclaim, “YOU’RE ENDANGERING ME!!! MY SISTERS AND MY MOTHER!!!” Andrea turned and kept running! “Andromeda, can you hear me?” Emily called out, while the others follow behind her while she ran. “STAY AWAY!!” Andrea shouted in a broken voice. “Andrea, wait for us!!!” Sylvia exclaimed. “I don’t know what’s real anymore…” muttered Andrea, clutching her head as she could hear voices, “Where are you goin’ freak?...You should know your place, you bitch!” Andrea begged in a soft voice, “Please leave me alone…” She could hear the voices of her hallucinations again: “What kind of idea is that? The origin of your name is so dumb, you are pathetic and boring!” Another voice jeered, “Your middle name is dumb? What kind of middle name is that?” A third voice then heckled: “Retard! You’re a retarded dipshit! And so is your family!” Tears spilled from Andrea’s eyes as the voice grew louder and stronger: “MURDEROUS FREAK!!! YOU KILLED SO MANY, ALL THOSE PEOPLE!!! DEATH IS ALL AROUND HERE!!!” Andrea shouted back, “I WAS FORCED TO!!! I WAS ONLY A CHILD!!! I AM NOT A MURDEROUS FREAK, I AM NOT A TRAITORUS PSYCHO! IT’S YOU!!!! YOU MADE ME INTO THIS!!!” Then said in a quieter tone, “I didn’t mean to…” Emily broke the hallucinations away as she cried out, “HEAR ME ANDROMEDA!!! ANDREA, DON’T FALL!!!” Andrea screamed, “Keep your distance from me!!!” She kept running so Sylvia decide to use telepathic communication however it was quiet until she begin to quivered as Arlow was concern for her. Sylvia convulsed until she was shouting in pain and came back to reality where the others were apprehensive for her well being. “AAAHHH….” Sylvia screamed she then pointed over to the guys and cried: “It was you!!!! ALL OF YOU!!” Emily looked at the guys and back at her, “What?” Sylvia came back to her senses and said in a calm voice, “Well not you guys entirely in reality. But something in her head, a mere illusion. Something that is all in her head.” So they managed to follow behind her quietly as they continued to call her out but this time wanted to sound intimidated in order to get a confession from her. They became more aggressive verbally while also trying to get something else. All at once; Andrea sank to the floor as she begins to cry, “All right, all right I get it! This was the breaking point that I need! You and I are alike! We try to do good but failed miserably and I’ve seen you all in my mind! In my dreams! Your memories up in our heads, they were our fuel to get know you and at the same time torment you!” She ran her fingers through her messy hair as her eye twitched and her lips slowly curled into a smile. “Your remembrances, we could feel them as if they were our own…Our own!” Her smile turned into a painful scowl of malice while she ranted and tears were streaming down her face, “The son of a bitch ripped us from Mother! He reduced our family to dust! Mother showed us what must be done….Tear the whole world down! TEAR IT ALL DOWN!!!” She bawled even more when she said something that she wasn’t ashamed of keeping it in, “I LOVE YOU BOYS SO MUCH!!! ALL OF YOU!!! WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!” It was so quiet until Ryker stepped out and stared out, “…What? What did you just say?” Andrea begin to laugh quietly, “Just wanted to get this weight off my chest, but since I know you won’t  love me back….I’ll have no choice….Your chains are mine, you belong to me! I am bound to have you!!!” She said in a disembodied voice. She used her powers against Sylvia, Ryker and Arlow! Just 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?” Andrea explains to the trio: “I WISH TO PERSERVE YOU, PERSERVE THE NAME OF OUR FAMILY AND ARTEM PAYNE AS WELL AS JEROME SINCLAIR!!!” It was a déjà-vu for Emily as she used her powers to save Sylvia and the other boys. Emily gritted her teeth, “SHOULD I REPEAT MYSELF? YOU’RE TRESPASSING AMONGST MY FRIENDS?! I PROMISED MYSELF I WOULD PROTECT THEM!!!” She exclaimed back. Then, she let out a banshee cry and all of a sudden, she turned into a banshee! She was in a black corset with a deep V slash and tightly laced. She has on a matching skirt and the top was strapless. Her complexion is pale-white, dark red lips and fuchsia eyes! Sylvia and the boys stared in shock, Andrea was frightened for a moment before a smile appeared on her lips. She licked them as she breathed out a gasp: “Yes…It has awaken! At long last!” And the fight proceeded! During the battle against Andrea; Emily turned into a harpy form: Her face was a faded rosy pink, her hair was messy, she has abnormal branch-like blood vessels from her back, and her outfit has a dark red chain draped metal embellished top, a fabric skirt, arm bands from her upper arms and a gun metal colored headpiece. Emily’s fingers turn bony yet elongated as her hands became red. She has on thigh high boots and fishnet stockings. “My banshee form and harpy self has awaken, but I can’t say the same for my Fury self.” Thought Emily. It was then something swim in her mind and realized something. “Go! I’ll catch up!!!” Emily called. Sylvia led the boys away as Emily stared down her shirt. She gulped as she whispered, “I can’t believe I’m doing this…” Her hand unbuttoned her shirt slightly and her hand reached to where her chest where her heart was. In the meantime; Sylvia and the boys were chasing after Andrea, who was getting irritated as she tries to attack them when Sylvia and the boys were protected by a figure that looked terrifying! The mysterious Fury hybrid has a hurricane of rage storming within her! Sylvia, Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku and Evan were terrified at this point! The Fury hybrid surprisingly protects Sylvia however she, Ryker and Arlow were shocked to recognize who the Fury hybrid. The Fury hybrid vanished from sight while Emily reunited with the others in the opposite direction. Just then, Nightmarchers were surrounded Emily and the gang who hides from them to get away from them. “Great! Now what?” Sylvia asked. “Any ideas?” Kamoku inquired. Emily gasped, “I got one! Promise you won’t get scared?” Emily asked. Kamoku grinned, “Yeah!” He exclaimed. Emily unbuttoned her shirt a little, Evan is shocked. “What are you doing?” Evan demanded. Emily didn’t answer, she put her hand through her chest and struggled for a while until finally, she unleashed the Fury within! Kamoku and Evan stared in horror! Emily’s eyes were hollow and black with red pupils. She had blood coming from the whole in her chest. Her appearance was different: There were her hair became red like mahogany, her clothes matched her hair and her face was vein-like cascading on the sides of her face. Andrea gasped, “The Fury within…It has awaken.” She rasped. Andrea turned to the Nightmarchers as she exclaimed, “Time to raise some havoc, my darlings! The dogs of war are loose!” But Emily managed to speak in a intangible voice, “Andromeda…Forgive me for my wrongs but….I HAVE JUST BEGUN!!!” Emily slaughter at about one third of Nightmarchers, then she took down two fourths of them and she let out a cry where she unleashed a rage that scared Andrea and the Nightmarchers ran off! Later; Emily and the gang were seated around. Emily was still in her Fury form and she looked nervous. “Be honest boys, do I look that bad?” Emily said finally. Arlow stare at her for a moment before answering, “…No.” Ryker turned to him angrily, “IDIOT!!! YOU HESITATED!!!” He shouted. “I DID NOT!!!” Arlow exclaimed. Emily sighed, “Guys…Please don’t argue. Not now.” She said firmly. “You look attractive, pretty. Very good looking like that.” Arlow lied brightly. “You’re kidding, right? You are hard to look at!” Evan exclaimed. Emily grinned, “Really?” She solicited. “Like a dissected pig’s remains.” Replied Evan. “Or a raw piece of meat.” Kamoku said with a shrug. Emily slammed a fist down with a tight smile, “Exactly.” She said. Kamoku shook his head, “You look haunted.” He said. “You look like a Wendigo cut in half and eviscerated all over the battlefield.” Emily’s eyebrows raised in amazement, “Thank you.” She said. Once that was over; Emily put her heart back in her chest. She returned to normal as she and the others managed to head back to Miss Leblanc, who escorted them back to the agency building. 

That night; Lily was asleep as she saw something in her mind: Evita is grinding against Artem, as she bites him passionately, her tongue exploring his neck side. Her hands were roaming his body, groping his skin and rubbing it, as they tumbled back as they lay in the bed with each other. Evita heaved and soon moaned Artem’s name, she slowly moved towards him, pulling his buttoned shirt apart gently and leaning in, starting to lick at his throat. She goes down to his collarbone and she eats his skin and he is turned on by how she gnaws at his flesh. Artem moans, his head inclined up and Evita’s lips were making soft smack sounds as her intakes air while her tongue took action. “Be gentle, Evita...Please...” Artem spoke quietly, biting his lip as he looked down at Evita, before he let out a quiet gasp. Evita was slowly licking up and down along his collarbone, and gently pushing a finger into his neck, while her other hand was by the collarbone, slowly rubbing it. Artem let out quiet moans, as Evita's tongue was pushed inside of her master, making him squirms from the pleasure of it. “You taste good, love...” Came Evita's slightly muffled voice, as she slowly moved her tongue around inside of her master, a second finger following the first into his skin, both of them pushing in deep. Evita continued to use her tongue and fingers on Artem, who lets out a moan. “E--Evita, that's so good...” Artem managed to say. She wanted to make him feel just as amazing, so Evita leaned in, and began to suck, and nibble on Artem's other side of his neck, pushing a finger inside of him as she did so. Both of them were soon moaning, as Evita ate some blood out of Artem’s neck, loving the taste of him, never wanting this to end. Artem smirked softly, and reached into the drawer beside him, slowly pulling out an item as he continued to try and please Evita. “A-Artem, what are you doing...?” Evita had pulled away slightly to speak, panting as she did so, before she felt something long and thick slowly, teasing slide into her dripping wound of her stomach. Evita let out a gasp, and squirmed where she lay, biting her lip, as the large knife was pushed inside of her, and her wound was attacked by Artem's mouth, it being kissed, sucked on, and bit lightly, over and over again. "Artem~!" Evita half moaned, half screamed out his name, the quivering wound squeezing around the knife, feeling Artem's actions take affect fast. She decided that Artem needed more, and buried her face into Artem’s neck, and moaned softly, her tongue being pushed deep inside, three fingers following suit, and getting slammed into her master’s wound. This way she will drive him delirious with his tongue while watching his body twisting and shivering. Evita will eat it from the bleeding cut and she wants him to look at her during this time! Artem already spread his shirt open a little to expose his skin, she can forget about her smart persona and act like a wild animal while she is sucking his blood. He’ll go crazy because she eats it so well like a vampire. Evita will spread apart his skin and suck on his blood. The juiciness of it is like a smoothie! Making Artem squirm and moan beneath her, as each tries to gain the upper hand, both of their moans fast approaching. “Evita... Suck, Suck my blood harder, please~!” He gasped out. Artem was squirming from Evita's fingers, her wound being stretched and thrust into deeply with each movement, as Artem turned the knife up to max, slamming it in deep, once, twice, and then one final time, before Evita gave a shudder and came, letting out a scream of pleasure. "Artem~!" Was the only word that left her mouth, as she bit down lightly on Artem's collarbone tugging on it. That was the last straw for Artem, and when Evita's claw-like fingers slammed in once again, Artem came, squirming and spraying blood all over her. God, did she talk so good! She satisfies. She leaves him sweating with her blood sucking skills, she’s so good, Artem will be dripping wet when Evita’s done. She’s performing her teeth into flesh so well here that Artem gripping the bed sheets and having muscle contractions in pleasure. Lily woke up from the dreams as she is shaken and covered in sweat! After getting out of bed and dressed a little in a coat over her sweat pants and shirt; Lily came to the church to see it was very vacant and walked further. She saw the Holy Mother, Lily made the sign of the cross as she slowly wander while singing: “Come, let us sing joy to the Lord. Shout to the rock of our salvation…” She continued to hum that song in a low tone, until she reached a stained glass window with the sun pouring in from above. Lily stared up at it for a moment, then she bowed her head. It wasn’t until she heard a voice: “My darling, you look somber and all alone. In need of some company.” Lily looked around with a smile. She knew who it was, “My guardian angels, I have summoned you and you have answered. I breathed life into you, so you can protect me. Stay at my side as my angels, will you accept me my guardian angels?” Lily asked. The voice reply, “Dearest, let us protect you for we will smite the demons and you will need to only call upon me. Look up to the stained rose glass.” Lily complied to see a figure in white descending from above towards Lily, who reached a hand out to the figure in white but felt someone grab her shoulder from behind! She turned around and gasped to see Hayato. “Don’t fret, I’ll save you.” He said. “Don’t bet on that.” A female growled. Lily saw movement of the Nightmarchers. In this confusion; Lily was resisting from Michael and Hayato, but Abigail wrapped her arms around Lily as she teleported her back to the Dream State Agency. Lily stumbled in as she was looking scared out of her mind. 

At that moment, there was a phone call that was placed on speaker and Lily answered as Andrea’s voice rang out: “Hello…Hello…Hello…It’s me.” There was a pause, then she said, “Oh don’t tell me you found the bodies did you not?” Another pause yet it was shorter. “You did? Really? Well, those bastards were predators against the children. Don’t these bastards know by now? Children are children; they are not meant to be part of some sort of promiscuous antic or used as a tool. Children are innocent; they need time to grow up. They need to enjoy the happiest times in their lives. They need to grow, experience and love.” Emily and the others didn’t speak, so Andrea continues to talk: “You know, I thought it was fun. Better than anything but I know you don’t find it beautiful anymore since you found out about the murders. Hey, don’t sweat it. I know you want me so badly. You’re gonna screw my hussy little mouth.” And Andrea laughed at her sick joke before growling, “LIKE HELL!!!” In a calm tone, she said: “You know why I killed those child predators that preyed upon children? Maybe the bastards had troubled pasts but that does not mean they have to go and hurt children.” There was a pause and Andrea spoke again: “We do this because justice can be so blind, the victims don’t get righteousness. Shitty cops don’t do anything and blow it off as nothing. They take lightly of shit and nobody helps any of these people who were attacked or stalked. They say stalking is so difficult. I DON’T SEE THEM TRYING, THOSE FRIGGIN’ SHIT HEADS!!!! I don’t know if there’s any good ones out there but there are some who just smears the goodness of others. The justice system is so wrong. Society is wrong….And this life, is a load of crap. Where is the justice? Why do we have bigots around here? What about the politicians? Do those sons of a bitches care? Like hell! One is a hypocritical racist pig who has an issue with women. Another is just hated because of controversy and because of female qualities. Why can’t there be someone greater out there? Why can’t there be some who just want to save the world and make it a better place? Why are so many people so selfish of not helping and they have all the money?”  She was quiet for a moment before she says, “Let me hear your voice….Please….” However when no one responded, Andrea let out a low growl and hung up. On the news of the next day, the headmaster is the principal and has been troubling other students. The student is being so harassed by the headmaster that only way to graduate is to go to bed with him. There was a boyfriend cheating on the girl with her best friend. The tears start when the girl finds out that her boyfriend is cheating on her with her best friend because cheating is bad enough, but her partner cheating on her with her best friend is horrible. And a wife is annoying her husband as well as abused him, the wife is cheating on him but the husband cannot bring himself to leave. There was a dusty and dark place with bloodstained sheets. Andrea and her sisters kept mutilating the headmaster, the wife and the evil boyfriend. Their wrists and ankles tied to the bedposts. They carved the names of the victims into their chests as they screamed in pain, their cries muffled by nothing other than their hands. Though they struggled and flailed, Andrea drew her knife across each of their mouths, carving a smile into their faces, causing them to stop moving!
