Chapter: The Fury Within 

In her investigation; Carla receives a video in the mail and decides to play it as part of her investigation. The film starts off with Andrea walking onto the set as she applies her makeup and changes her shoes against a brightly lit backdrop with numerous chandeliers flickering on and off. She is donning bright-red, ultra shiny lipstick and giant mirrored aviator sunglasses as she licks her lips for the camera and gazes sultrily into the lens. But it soon turned into insanity as she laughs! The scene changes to Mora, who is waiting in front of an apartment when her friends then come out and join her. They then drive away from the haze of the city. As they drive away, they drive down a forest road. They eventually meet up at a small cabin-like building and start drinking slushies. The girls are walking through the forest with other shots of the rest of the group walking and coming to a campground while also by a lake. As the sky darkens, they start dancing around a bonfire. The group dancing and partying through the night. In another shot shows Mirani is in a white fur coat and long braids, she is oiled up, writhing around in a pair of tiny pink shorts and a white tank top, displaying wet and wild hair as well as a shiny appearance to her skin. But also her long, disheveled hair in the wind while she is running around babbling lyrically about the strange visions flashing through her deranged mind, singing creepy little rhymes, scattering flowers and occasionally bashing people's heads in. She is then covered in blood while in neon pink shorts and a revealing white top. In the next part of the film shows the parts of only Andrea: The corners of her eyes and the curve of her mouth. Andrea was miserable and was beginning to act crazy. It began when on her bed neatly laid out were her shirt, pants, bra and panties. She came out of the bathroom completely nude dripping wet as she took the cup of juice there and took a swig straight from it. Then, she bought a new shower curtain however she ended up hanging it up in her room, cut to shreds and dyed till it was almost unrecognizable. It wasn’t until Andrea had finished dozens of projects over the years at 12 years old; she had hated all of the stories and had to redo everything over and over. She flew off the handle, doused about different stories in lighter fluid, and set the yard on fire. Mora and the girls rushed home to find Mina sitting in the back of the room, covered in ashes, parts of her hair scorched at the ends. She was covered in a blanket with burnt ends of her fingers. The flowers were burnt, ruined and broken! One night; Andrea was drunk and tossed her newly cropped hair, and her soft eyes fill with tears, then she took a glass that had a bull’s head and smirked. The next morning, she was dead asleep on top of the covers, after she had cut a swathe from one of the new rose bushes and made a giant bouquet, shoving them so tightly in the vase that some had escaped and made their way from their perch on the changing table to the floor. She had scattered them in the bassinet, on the windowsill. It was chaotic and beautiful. In her eyes like repressed artillery fire, like she was ready to explode at any second, but it never lasted for longer than a few seconds before they went back to the soft color in her irises. One day; the sisters and other girls found Andrea sitting on the leather couch with a bottle of perfume, covered head to toe in blue-gray body paint, with a special deliberation underneath her eyes. She was wearing a revealing mélange blue dress, covered in crosses of a range of shapes and sizes from the shredded shower curtain where her breasts and the curve of her waist were exposed a little in the sheerness of the outfit. The bottle was drawn out in her hands. Andrea got up and walked through the rose garden and notices a tiny piece of ashes so she went inside and poured herself a glass of orange juice. She sipped the sweet citrus as she stared out into space. Moments later of silence; she took a swig of juice from the bottle, swirling it around in her mouth before gulping and smacked her soft pink lips together while sighing. And the film ends there. Still in her downturn misery; Carla slumped on the floor of her apartment, staring at the ceiling as almost she was catatonic with dread. She would sit there with her knees bent against her chin, unable to move. In the tub; Carla is bent over, her head beneath the water between her knees. She holds her breath for an eternity before she screams as air bubbles shoot to the surface. Around in the evening; Katriel came to see Carla and saw she was on her bed so he came to join her. Not too long that he laid there; Katriel was on the side of Carla's bed, he was wearing his clothes but the only thing was his jacket was off and he had on a long sleeved shirt with two buttons undone. He looked over and saw Carla sleeping on her side, her back was to Katriel. Katriel noticed Carla was shivering, he noticed how her body was quivering so much. And how she lets out shaky breaths! "Carla? Carla?" Katriel asked, gently shaking his hand on his friend. "What is it?" Carla responds back, "Nothing. I'm fine." She said. Carla begins to sob a little when Katriel became affectionate by hugging her and keeping her close. Then, Katriel and Carla were embracing each other, shuddering and gasping while close to each other. Carla whimpered, "So...cold..." Katriel shushed her gently, “I'm right here, I'll keep you warm.” He said. That was the last thing she remembered before going to sleep. In the morning; Carla had finished cleaning up and she was starting to get things done. It was about time for lunch break when she heard something from the floor making a thumping sound underneath her feet. Carla was startled but she prepared herself. Just then, Katriel's head popped out as he panted while looking around. He sighed, "Dammit, that was close!" He and Ozzy got out from beneath. "I swear, if I see one more Wendigo; I'm gonna chop its head off!" grumbled Katriel. "Riddle me this, Katriel. Are we there yet?" said Ozzy. Katriel glares at him, "'Are we there yet?' 'Are we there yet?' Yes! We're here, if it weren't for your frigging brains I probably wouldn't get away from those bastards." He said. "Katriel, Ace…You’re late." Carla said. Katriel and Ozzy looked up to see Carla. "She thinks I'm her pet." Ozzy glares at Carla, "What is this bondage and dominant?" He snapped. "Ew, no!" Carla cried, horrified."Like hell, I'm not into that stuff. I mean, that's not love. Who takes pleasure in that?" She continued. But became serious, "So, what's going on in your neck of the woods?" asked Carla. "We're bustin' you out of this joint!" Katriel said. "Hey, who's there?" A voice called out. Two soldiers appeared; seeing Katriel and Ozzy. One of the gun men fired at them however Katriel and Ozzy deflect the bullets. Soon, more gun men appeared. During their fight against the gun men; one of them took a appendage knife gun and used it towards Carla, causing a sort of pain in her capillaries. As the sharpness piercing into her vital arteries; Carla felt pain in her as Katriel and Ozzy but are shocked to see she has a climax spasm. She was moaning softly as if she was being pleasured. "The hell--? Is she--" thought Katriel. Ozzy couldn't believe he is seeing this, "Good Lord." He said. "Wow, I never saw a girl cry out in delight over this." Ozzy remarked. "Focus, you. This isn't the time for any admiration." snapped Carla. Once Carla had been released from the piercing, she then heard something that was petrifying, a Wendigo was here! She saw the monster coming at Katriel and she ran over to protect him. She used her powers as a shield. The creature left a horrible wound on her and then killed it but she was bleeding. She was then rushed to the medic, where someone used a tourniquet to help stem the blood from oozing out. And she felt someone sewing up her arm. Once again; she begins to splutter with more passionate frenzies. But only in her head. "I--can--do--this, I--can--do--this...I just gotta focus." She thought, between gasps. When she woke up, Carla was sitting beside her. "How are you doing?" He asked. "Fine." replied Carla. "Sorry about that." It was quiet until Katriel spoke up with a question. "So...Why are you turned on by pain?" asked Katriel. "I'm not. Ever heard of taking your fears and turning them into exhilaration? That's what I'm doing." said Carla with a shrug. Ozzy scoffed. "That is weird." He remarked. Carla smiled, nodding. "Yup, but call me crazy; I think the nervousness is also a fuel for my climax gasping." She admitted. "Oh geez." Katriel said with a groan. When Carla was better, Ozzy took her out for a sparring. "Ready? Don't hold back." Ozzy taunted. Carla smiled, "Not in my nature." She said. Ozzy attacks but Carla dodges it. Ozzye tried to attack again however Carla dodge. "Geez, what's with your skills? You fight like a...." Ozzy started to say but he was punched in the face. He almost fell however he steadied his balance. Katriel let out a whoop. Carla flipped her hair back, "A girl? Puh-leeze!" She said. Ozzy coughed as he felt something in his mouth. What he pulled out was a tooth. Carla smirked at this. Ozzy looked at her with surprise, "Damn, not bad." He praised. Carla smiled brightly, showing her teeth. Carla then tousled her hair, which glowed gold in the sunlight and then, a fist was coming at him and punched him so hard that he hit the floor. "Ahhh...." He spit out another teeth and glance at Carla. "Admit it, I am awesome!" She said. Later; Carla, Katriel and Barbara were training with each other. Carla has a fondness with Barbara as they got along quite nicely. It wasn’t until Carla and Katriel were talking to each other when they noticed Kurran and Ozzy were gone. 

WHACK! “Ow!” Kira exclaimed. She and Sylvia were training in the ring when Sylvia had lifted her leg and hit Kira. Sylvia cringed, “Whoops, my bad!” She said. “The hell was that?” Kira demanded. Sylvia replied back, “Just a random drop kick, sorry.” She smiled a little. “You can’t do that, Sylvia! That breaks all the rules, you’re fighting dirty!” Kira scolded. Sylvia rolled her eyes, “Shut up Morgan! I said I was sorry!” She said. The two girls lightly banter with each other. At that time, a man with a sturdy built and seemed to be inexplicable. Lisha hands him a clipboard, “Here sir, sign here on the dotted line. Thank you.” She said sweetly. Back on the ring; Sylvia was sighing as she said, “OK, I’m taking a break. I’ll be back.” Once Sylvia was out of earshot; Kira noticed the man Lisha was next to and called out: “You sir! What’s your name?” The man replied back in an Australian accent, “Kurran Dainard.” Kira nodded, “Mr. Kurran, front and center please! CT? Get your ass over here, pronto!” She called. Kira left the ring and sat down with the others. “Got any reason for getting a complete stranger to fight CT?” asked Tsubaki. “I’m just trying to find a trainer.” Kira replied. “You’re an excellent fighter, why do you need a trainer?” inquired Kirsten. “I just want to prevent myself from kidnap or get in trouble all the time.” Kira replied. Everyone looked at her in shocked, Gladys looked at her: “Kira…” She whispered. “I feel like I’m a burden to you guys, and I want to get stronger.” Kira explained. “Oh Kira.” Kirsten replied. Kira then turned to Kurran in the ring and smiled over at him. “How do I spell your surname Kurran?” Kira asked, pulling out the Moneta. Kurran replied back, “D—A—I—N—A—R—D.” Evan glanced at Kira, “What? You’re gonna research him?” He asked. “Just looking into his background…” Kira said and was surprised after she typed in the results. “Oh ho-ho-ho! Wow, veteran as well as a boxer. Self defense, worked with his meat butcher father. Wow, awesome. I like.” Kira said. Then, there was a grunting sound that made Kira and the others look up. But boy, they were in for a big surprise! Kurran twisted CT’s knuckles and took him down, slamming him into wall. Everyone was shocked, “Holy cow!” Kirsten shouted. Dorothy and Lisha came to help CT, Kira smirked with amazement. “CT!” Lisha said sadly. “Not bad, Brass Knuckles Dainard.” Sylvia said. CT tries to look arrogant, “No, I slipped…” He claimed. “Aw yeah? Kurran Dainard just went whoop-ass on you my good friend.” Kira retorted. Later when Kurran left; Sylvia returned back, “What did I miss?” She asked. “Mr. Brass Knuckles whooped CT’s ass.” Jakov said dully. “Seriously? How did I miss that?” Sylvia asked. Later; Kira and the others were strolling in the city when Kira was pushed over her footing and fell on her stomach where she heard a tsk sound. Kira looked up to see a figure and spoke in a menacing tone with an Australian accent to boot, “Where is Sylvia Nyles?” He demanded. Sylvia heard the commotion and ran over but she froze in place when she heard that accent of the man demanding to know while saying the words, “I have a score to settle with that bitch!” Sylvia trembled in fear, “Th—th—that voice—No, it can’t be!” She whispered. She then ran over to step in between, “Stop this pandemonium, RIGHT NOW!!!” She screamed, “…Oscard Dainard…Ozzy.” Everyone is shocked by this but the young man—Ozzy—smirked back. “Hello Sylvia…Sylvie.” He replied. Then, Sylvia was levitated from the ground as her arms were above her head as she choked for breath, “I have the same powers as you, little lassie! I’ve waited a long time for this, to make you suffer like I had all my life!” shouted Ozzy. “Ozzy, please! We were both suffering; I have guilt upon me for not saving your mother…” Sylvia begged but then she was interrupted by a telekinetic jab at her sides as she gaped loudly and painfully. “Feel that, love? It’s your scar!  You remember how much he hurt you? Yeah, you pussy cat, squeal and gasp all you want but your apologies are meaningless.” Ozzy replied coldly. Sylvia was already starting to lose hope until a sense of an ‘angel’ swooped in and managed to save Sylvia from the madman Ozzy who was shocked by the sudden speed. Sylvia saw a glimpse of Risko, who looked at her with kindness in his eyes and land to the ground where he faces the shocked, scornful look on Ozzy’s face which he growled, “YOU BLOODY INGRATE!!!” He exclaimed. Risko glared back, “Enough Ozzy.” He said firmly. Sylvia looked up, “Risko…” She whispered. Risko nodded, “Easy, I got you.” He reassured her, setting her down gently. There was a loud cry of a banshee that scared everyone out of their wits but they knew who it was! “She’s here!” Kurran gasped. “Surprise mother-chuckers! I’M HERE, BTCHES!!!” Mora cried. “Mora!?” Ozzy cried. “Careful Oz, you too Kurt!” Mora scolded. Sylvia and the gang stared at Mora in disbelief. “Crap! She’s gone crazy!” Tsubaki claimed. “You’re telling me.” Remarked Evan. “But…” Ozzy protested. “BUT NOTHING!!! You, me and your daddy-kins had a deal! You catch the bird, I deal with her! NOT TRY AND KILLER YOU HOTHEADED DADDY’S BOY!!!! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A MISERABLE, WANNABE TOUGH GUY WHO HAS DADDY ISSUES! YOUR STUPID FATHER SHOULD’VE DIED INSTEAD OF YOUR MOMMY, YOU THINK YOU’RE A HOT SHOT? TRYING TO WIN THE APPORVAL OF YOUR POP? IT’S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, FACE THE FACTS!!!” Ozzy looked like he was going to cry, he didn’t want to hear this. Kurran looked pained as if the reason why his wife is dead and why her son is always like this. Just then, Mora felt someone gave her a slap across the face and fell to the ground. All fell silent while Mora clutched her cheek as she stared up at Kira, who looked pissed. “You are getting on my last nerve, Mora! I can’t stand you using people! Manipulate them and torture them while lacking remorse!” She screamed. Mora looked up with fear, she backs away while on the ground: “No, please! I give up! I—I—I surrender!” Mora pleaded. But it was all in act as she had something up her sleeve! “NOBODY MAKES A MOVE OR FIDO’S NECK BREAKS IN TWO!!” Mora said holding a dog helpless. Ozzy and Kurran were horrified, “THUMPER!!!” They cried. Kira was perplexed. “Thumper?” She muttered. “Those two…have a dog?” Sylvia thought. A revelation begins to overcome Sylvia and she used her powers to save Thumper the Dog before Mora could do anything to him! Once receiving his dog; Ozzy stared up at Sylvia with amazement, “You saved Thumper, thank you!” Oscard said tearfully. Sylvia sighed while looking away, “Drop it.” She said. “No, I mean it! I’d never hollered for help.” Ozzy insisted. “Come on, weren’t you gonna get payback? I deserve it.” Sylvia said. “No, I’ve changed my mind! After what you did, I…I…I…” Ozzy said stammering. But Kurran finished for him while petting Thumper who happily panted in his arms, “He forgives you.” Kurran looked rather apologetic as he claimed, “I’m sorry for all the trouble we caused you.” Kurran then nudged his son who realized what he must say, “I am…also sorry…” He whispered. Sylvia nodded, “You are forgiven.” She said. Just then, there was a scream and everyone turned. They ran over to a forest line where they saw soldiers being scorched alive! However, it got even more shocking when they saw Regina Halsing was the one responsible, she looked angry and rather vengeful. She looked angry like someone had made her angry of an insult or hurt her. Sylvia was surprised, she never seen her like this! Regina used her fire powers against the soldiers who were scared of her. “BURN INTO NOTHING!!!” shouted Regina. She looked like the Phoenix—if the Phoenix was human—with flames that resembled dark hellfire! Sylvia and the others were horrified at this sight. At that moment; Regina felt someone wrapped their arms around her; she turned around and saw Renee with tears in her eyes. “Please…stop…” Renee choked out between sobs. Regina realized what she was going and calmed the flames which they turned nothing but ashes as it all simmers down until it there weren’t any more. Sylvia turned to her friends who were shocked by this but not harmed as the flames did not reach them. Relieved; Sylvia turned and saw a young teen boy with dark hair, fair skin and looked pragmatic. He wore a striped buttoned up shirt with long sleeves, a vest with pockets, pinstriped black pants, matching ankle boots and a claw-like glove. The boy’s façade was blank, “Where did you come from?” Sylvia asked in surprise. The boy became tedious while he replied in a deadpanned tone: “From the graveyard, where else? Now piss off, butterface!” Sylvia and the others were shocked and rather taken aback by his attitude. Regina smiled apologetically, “Don’t mind him, this is Milenko Steele. You may call him Milan if you like; he doesn’t like his real name.” She explained. Then, Mora appeared as she beckoned Ozzy, “Step out of the shadows, I won’t bite.” She purred. Oscard was reluctant to approach but he does so. “What the hell? Stop him, grab him—hurry!” Emmett and Jakov seized Ozzy as Mora spoke, “Why are you here? It is because Sylvia led you all here to me? All who have faced me, you’ve earn my grace. Abigail’s revenge is complete as her retribuition will spread across the world and many other dimensions. It is all hers to divide and conquer.” She declared. “Love, I lost my mother but you can get her back, right?” Ozzy asked. His roughly like tough features softens, Mora grins at him with sympathy but her eyes did not meet her grin. “I can Ozzy, anything you want.” She cooed. Oscard looked at her, “Can you?” He asked. “Of course, always.” Mora confirmed. “No Ozzy, don’t do it boy!” Kurran said in a choked up voice. Ozzy let out a shaky breath while sniffling as they were watering and red. “I’d like that lass, but…there’s just one problem.” He remarked. “What’s that?” Mora asked with a confused expression. Then; Mora felt something as her face became sallow and pained. Ozzy had stabbed her in the hip and his eyes had tears streaming down his face. “YOU MESSED WITH MY MATES, BITCH!” He exclaimed. Ozzy drew the blade back as a stream of blood flew onto the pavement. Ozzy backed away to Sylvia and the others. Angry by the betrayal; Mora stamped her foot and her eyes were seeing red! “No one accommodates me and gets away with it, like some!” Mora claimed. She snapped her fingers and then a girl appeared in an off the shoulder top, a ruffled skirt and heels. Her hands were behind her back as she skipped forward. Tsubaki recognized the girl, “Kanara!” He gasped. “Hi Tsubaki, you remember me? I guess you do.” Kanara noted gleefully. Sylvia glanced at Tsubaki, “Do you know her?” She asked. “I’m so sorry I didn’t write back sooner, I thought those gifts would accountable for my sins. I mean, it’s the least I can do. I hope you did like the sweet little poems, the dead pig’s head, the monkey’s paw that I cut off…oh yeah and that friggin’ letter written in my own blood after picking at my chapped lips that one day.” Kanara ranted, looking rather unbalanced in the head. “What are you talking about…Wait, Kanara…You’re my secret admirer?!” Tsubaki asked, looking relatively petrified. “That’s right, babycakes. I’ve been at wit’s end and watching you and I know you and I are the same because of our losses…You see, before I was adopted by Stella, I lost my parents as well as my brother and sister.” Kanara explained. Her clothes turned into a purple and black tube top, matching pants with a waistband, and pointe shoes on her feet with heels. She also has a silver chained pendant with a violet ruby charm attached to it. Her mascara ran down her face and stained her cheeks which begin to resemble tattoos! Kanara had turn into a banshee as she exclaimed, “THOSE BASTARDS THAT RUINED MY LIFE AND DESTROYED MY CHILDHOOD WILL PAY!!! I WILL AVENGE MY FAMILY AND YOUR BELOVED SQUAD TOO, TSUBAKI!!!” Kanara begin to mutter, “Tsu…ba…sa…” Sylvia instructed everyone, “Crap! Scattered, she’s gone out of whack!” They ran for the hills and managed to get away however Regina was with them but that boy Milan was nowhere to be seen when suddenly he appeared and he wasn’t alone. There were dolls of inhuman kinds that were creepy and were alive as they scared Kanara away! Kanara had a fear of dolls, she hated them as she ran off. Renee was surprised by the reanimated dolls while Milan grinned in disdained and sadism. Sylvia sighed, she looked over at Regina who simply shrugged nervously. Later, Paige became a member of Sylvia’s group as well as Sparrow and Risko. Even Kurran and Ozzy did too. 

Once Emily heard the news as she and the gang went to Carla, they saw her at a bar where she was drinking a non alcoholic beverage. They tell her about Gideon Sullivan but it was rather a bad mistake on Emily’s part. Carla stared at Emily and the others in total shock, “D—did—did you say G—Gid—Gideon? As in Gideon Sullivan?” She stammered. Emily’s brows begin to furrow in confusion, “Carla? Is everything OK?” She inquired. Carla staggered backwards like a zombie while tears prickling at her eyelids. Her hands clenched into fists and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead. Her bottom lip wobbled as she felt a scream escape her throat. “AUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!! THAT YUPPIE SHITHEAD IS BEHIND ALL THIS?! GAH, I KNEW IT!!!” Her fists hit the temples of her forehead. “Damn him, damn his friggin’ wealthy shit and his uppity attitude! COWARDLY!!! ISIGNIFICANT ASS HAT!!! THAT MOUND OF DISEASE IS NOT FIR ENOUGH TO CALL HIMSELF A FRIGGIN’ HUMAN BEING!!!!” She stops to take a breath and said in a choked up voice, “He’s doing this again…It’s not the first time he ever done this...” Emily and the others are unable to process what happened. They were shocked by Carla’s heated meltdown! Carla then runs out into the streets when she bumps into someone and was about to apologize to whoever it was when her heart dropped to see who it was. “Carla? Is that you?” Gideon asked with delight. Carla glared at him, “Sullivan…” She said in a dead monotone. Gideon smiled widely, “My! You’ve grown, I missed you so much Carly.” He remarked in a sultry voice. Carla scoffed at him, “You? Missed me? That’s a surprise. I didn’t know you cared.” She said with sarcasm. “Come now, Carla. No need to be moody, think of me as your plaster and you are the scab. Still picking away I see.” Gideon stated with a smirk. “You’re the plaster? You are mostly like the scab everyone picks at, you think you’re like a drug but you’re a bad habit like smoking. No, like an idol with a chipped and broken pedestal.” Carla pointed out. Gideon’s smile faded, he reaches over to Carla. “Carla…” He said in a warning tone. “Don’t touch me!” Carla exclaimed. Gideon was getting irritated, “CARLA!!!” He is about to reach her when Emily, Sylvia, Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku and Evan blocked Gideon. “Back off!” Emily instructed firmly. Gideon sneered at her, “Agent Grynte.” He said. “In the flesh, now get lost!” Emily demanded. “We’re just talking.” Gideon claimed. “Really? You were just talking? Try saying that to Lily on that so called romantic night as you were rejected by her.” Emily reminded. Gideon’s face was white, “What?! How in God’s name did you—No, you have the same powers as the Carroll witches don’t you?” He said. Emily gritted her teeth with a hard clench. “Do not mention them in my presence; they had been causing nothing but trouble!” Emily asserted. “You and your squad, your friends and allies are causing nothing but disturbance in this city.” Gideon retorted. “What? How?” Sylvia demanded. “With your monster boy, Rick here…” Gideon explained but Anita interrupted: “Ryker.” Gideon rolled his eyes, “Whatever! Ry—ker, if you prefer to call him that has some temperamental issues as well as these gents here who just want to cause havoc and cause the world to go mad with their idiocy.” Gideon said. “WHAT?!” Ryker yelled. “YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!” Arlow shrieked. “TAKE IT BACK!!” Kamoku demanded, seizing Gideon by the shirt collar. “YOU’RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!!!” Evan shouted. “GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF ME YOU MONSTERS!!!” Gideon shouted. “GENTLEMEN!!!” Emily voice exclaimed as Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku and Evan stopped from advancing a fight upon Gideon. In a calm voice, she spokes: “It seems Gideon’s sharp tongue interests me. He seems like he has a lot to say, I like to stretch my ear to know more.” She smirked at Gideon’s arrogant taunts and his façade. “You want to stretch your ear to know more of what I have to say, how about the fact you diddle around with boys such as Ryker, Arlow, Kamoku and Evan. This closeness seems like you want to sleep with all of them.” Gideon taunted. His yuppie friends laughed along with him, Emily frowned before she uses her telekinesis and beat the crap out of him, much to the delight of her friends and the horror of Gideon’s high class friends as well as Carla Dangeri. Moments later; Emily panted after beating Gideon a little where he was coughing up blood and has a black eye. She then said, addressing everyone else in the room: “Let me make one thing clear…” She wiped the blood from her knuckles and sighed before speaking, “As an agent; I follow the rules and do my job splendidly. My relationships and friendships are off duty only as well as on duty in order to protect them. However, I am not looking for someone to hook up, not at the moment. I like where I am right now however if I am soul searching or want to date, I’ll do it when I’m ready. I wish to be self sufficient, learn from past mistakes because I am only human despite my powers. But I know your thoughts are dirty, you think my boys and I have more than just the closeness. To put it bluntly, you think it’s polyamorous or kinky however it is not. It’s a platonic bond. You don’t see it because of your lavish lifestyle. Be grateful ‘cause not everyone is rich….There is the working class too.” She turns to the terrified crowd, “Let this be a lesson, make one remark about the relationship with my friends of something dirty, I will pummel your friggin’ ass face…” She gestured towards Gideon, “…Just like this sucker here…Now does anyone have anything to say?” It was all quiet and confused but scared look. Emily moaned, “Aw c’mon you yuppie scumbags, GOT ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY NOW IS THE FRIGGIN’S TIME….” Everyone shook their heads timidly and Emily responds calmly, “I didn’t think so.” With that, she turned and walked out with Carla. Outside in the cool air; the two girls were quiet for a moment. “You OK, Carla?” Emily asked. Carla was annoyed, “I’m fine, geez!” She said darkly. Emily was floored by this, “Sorry.” She replied. “Not you, that ass hat.” Carla said, gesturing to Gideon. It was quiet until Emily spoke, “So…You know that rich son of bitch? His name is Gideon Sullivan? What’s his beef with you? Bet his bark is worse than his bite huh.” Emily remarked. “Shut up.” Carla said harshly. Emily was taken aback but said, “Fine.” And left it at that. Around the time she got back to her office; a note was on her door so she peeled it off and opened it. The handwriting was neat and in cursive: “My pretty, would you like to come over for a visit? Don’t be late –Michael.” Carla knew something was up so she decided to have a closer look at what Michael and the others are up to. In a while; Carla Dangeri looked at the dark castle, she deeply sighed and squared her shoulders while entering the castle. While she entered inside, she heard an echo of a girl humming and walked further to where the sound was coming from. Carla found a room of light and entered to find Prisca was the one humming but stopped when she saw Dangeri had entered. She set something down and turned over her shoulder. “Darling! Company!” called Prisca, cheerful as she could be. From above as he descends downwards of wherever he emerged from; Michael lightens up when he saw Carla. “Why hello there, welcome Carly!” He exclaimed gleefully. Annoyed; Carla was not having any of it so she cut the chase and demanded, “Where’s your accomplice?” Michael and Hayato looked at her, they exchanged glances. “Accomplice? There’s no one here, is there Hayato?” Michael inquired. “Maybe she means Shuji Bickford.” Suggested Hayato. Michael snapped his fingers in realization, “Of course, that’s it!!!” He exclaimed. Carla was irritated by his playful nature when she heard soft murmuring behind a door. She walked to the door but was blocked by a sneering Prisca however Carla shoved her away and got closer. “Sorry, no peeking in there.” Stephanie retorted. Then, Carla felt an electric shock of pain in her hip as she felt to the ground with a groan, she then heard Michael applauding. “Nice work, darling!” He praised. Michael turned to Carla and remarked, “Isn’t this sweet? We came by to offer you our greetings and you’re inclined to the ground. Come now, have you no manner?” Michael picked her up, his breath against Carla’s ear as it was sweet and almost mouthwatering. Carla shoved him away, “Don’t touch me!” She exclaimed. She turned away but Michael and Hayato were irritated at this point. “C’mon, Princess.” Michael cooed pathetically. “Do not call me that, you bastard!” Carla replied. Michael had his hands out in frustration while saying in desperation, “We’re only trying to help you, why don’t you trust any of us?” Carla turned to him angrily and exclaimed: “Because of your HISTORY!!! Did you actually believe I came here because I would trust you? I came here to get my case straight. You took Abigail Carroll’s daughter away and abused Andrea as well as her sisters—all of those kids!” She reminded of painful things that Michael and the others caused. “I wasn’t trying to do anything!” claimed Michael. “It doesn’t matter, why the hell does the Carroll Family is doing this? It’s all of you! And here they were trying to live a normal life but it blew up in their faces and look at them now! Are you happy now, shitheads?!” shouted Carla. “We were just following orders by Neville Payne, all right? We have desires but we’re not bad people. Honest!” declared Hayato. “Convince me, then.” Carla said. 

Michael was stunned as he sneered slowly and then fakes a grin to look genuine towards her, “Convince you? Why, I’d be happy to! It’s about time I tell someone my story.” He said. Carla looked at Michael with a suspicious glance as he encircled her. Michael smirked at her while approaching from behind as his hands slithered up Carla’s throat with his thumbs behind her collarbone. Carla choked out a soft gasp while Michael spoke, “Oh my pretty, that’s what I do for a living….I have done many terrible things towards mankind over the years with pride, witnessing people who have doubt their faith and taken credit for a massacre of a revolution against the innocence.” He loosens his grip on her neck a little, and placed those dirty paws of his on Carla’s shoulders. “You want to know where I’m going with this, well my pretty…using other people to gain power. Really, there's not one instance when people like us lies. I believe I know what you're getting into and the consequences of your actions, but you do it anyway because of the scars on your heart. But everything else just keeps getting more and more intense and crazy as it keeps going.” Michael pulls away from Carla who follows him as he encloses around her while sneering at her glare. “Here you think I'm here to make you think I am no longer evil and that I'm going to help you for good. But who knows, I could stab you in the back. This is the meaning of my life. This is what her purpose of being here is for. Although we know I'm just trying to get closer to Emily as well as the kiddies and get the position of power, I mean all of this is like art. I love art; it’s what I live for!” Hayato was managing a smile as well as the others who looked rather skeptical. However; Carla rolled her eyes, annoyed. But then; Michael seized her shoulders and caressed the side of her faces. “I have a power over you and whatever you want to do it, it is still I who controls anyone. Whatever you do, I am still stuck inside your mind.” He said. Then, draws away and throws his arms up in frustration. “I literally brought you to here under the pretense. I like to think of myself as the true master of my very own manipulations. Here I sit, on the seat of sweet smell of corpses of this throne.” He said. Michael whirled around where he stated, “My world is one ruled by what I was given and that everyone in this world has to show respect for it.” He went behind Carla at her side. “How do you feel about that?” Carla peeked at him with a sideways glance, “How I feel about that? Well, you may be a control freak who witnessed a lot of shit…But I still think you still can’t be trusted.” She remarked. Michael pouted, “Oh poo. I thought I would win you over…But darling…I know you’re dirty little secret.” Taunted Michael, he lets out a chuckle. Hayato, Stephanie, Prisca, Hikaru and Kanchan sneered at Carla’s furrowed brows and suspicious frown. “You know, what kind of girl doesn't have a secret that's on everyone's lips?” remarked Michael. “Please, I’m not surprise. It’s him isn’t it.” Carla said. Michael shook his head, “Not Gideon of course but there seems to be something inside you.” He said. Carla looked at him with wide eyes, “What? You mean to tell me…” She asked. “That’s right! Banshee, harpy and Fury. All in one.” Michael said scornfully. Carla’s gasp is caught in her throat, “No…” She was trembling in fear. “You don’t realize this dark side of yourself that slowly creeps into your mind and heart.” Michael whispered into Carla’s ear where she was too stunned to speak or move. “You can’t see the insanity of this darkness in the mirror and you can’t make it disappear. It’ll take over you, nor you will ever see it cry and it will be ready to take control, it’s a threat that claims it’s your fault.  Give yourself up, Carla. You can’t hide it anymore…” Michael muttered. Carla trembled, letting out wobbly gasps. She bowed her head as she fell to her knees. Michael helps her up again, arms around her, “Come on, I know you need a little fun in your life. Besides, entertainment is my specialty du jour. Don't just be there there looking desperate, would I kid you and play a trick?” He asked. His right hand snaked under Carla’s chin and she looked up with tears in her eyes. “I think you ought to take my little bargain. Yes, I think you ought to make my little proposition. Why don't you let me take that dream and make it real?” said Michael. He pulls out a contract, “You want to jump the gun? Well, my pretty, you have to sell your soul. Go on…Trust in me, so sign on the dotted line.” Michael replied. Carla was given a pen from Prisca where she beamed. Michael sneers over at Hayato, Hikaru and Kanchan as he whispers: “I've got her now, boys.” Just then; there was a loud, wailing howl that made Michael froze in terror. “Not her…!” He said with a growl and saw Nightmarchers on his heels as well as the others. Scared, Carla dropped the contract and ran off! Carla was terrified as she begin to cry, she was afraid of what Michael mentioned but then she had dread came over her. Later in the day; Emily, Marvin, Xavier, Tate and the others were looking over from the rooftop where the constable was pacing rapidly. He looked over at Carla who seems to be stumbling in her footing and looked unbalanced. Tate looked through the telescope to see the constable and Carla conversing but then shit hit the fan when Emily and Tate heard what they were saying to each other! “Where are they?” demanded the constable. Carla pointed behind him above, “Right over there.” She replied. Tate was stunned, “What?” He gasped. Carla waved her hands like she was signaling someone to rescue her, “Heyyyyyy!!!! Shitheads, over here!” Emily cringed, “Oh no.” She muttered. The constable aimed his gun but Carla uses her powers to knock the constable down! She stumbled over at Emily and her allies. “Ha! There you are, shitheads!” Carla exclaimed. “What the hell is your problem for exposing us like that?” Tate demanded. But Carla ignored him as she said, “Youuuu bastards! I never want to work with you bastard ‘cause I hate how I can’t get you out of my head! You are the reason why I hate you with a friggin’ passion!” Tate darkly chuckled, “Like I’m not surprised.” He remarked. Carla glared at him, “You’re not surprised? THIS WILL MAKE YOU SURPRISE…!!!” She shouted where she shoved Tate but she is held back. “Carla, Carla, take it easy!” Minako chided. “Take it easy?! YOU ARE NOT TAKING EASY ON ME!!!” Carla bawled, “EVER SINCE YOU TOLD ME ABOUT FRIGGIN’ GIDEON SULLIVAN, YOU ALL BEEN RUINING MY LIFE!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT BASTARD REALLY IS? HE IS YUPPIE SCUM! CRAP, CRAP…SHIT….I HATE HOW YOU ALL LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!!!” Ryker, Kamoku, Xavier, Tate and the others were mixed feelings of uneasiness, fearful and concern. Carla rant on and on about certain nonsense however Emily realized something was wrong with her and she looked at her. “Carla? Are you…are you drunk?” Emily asked. Carla glanced over at Emily and laughed like a hyena, “Like hell that I’m drunk…There’s no way that I’m…” But she stopped and she let out a few, “Hurk…Hurk…Ooofm!” And then, “BLLLUUURRRRGGGGHHH!!!!” Projectile vomit on the pavement, everyone was surprised and disgusted. Carla collapsed and she fell next to her puke. Emily sighed, “I’ll take that as a yes.” She remarked. 

Later; Carla was sleeping, she shivered under the covers. She tossed and turned, she was then curling up when she finally woke up. Her eyes fluttered open; she looked around with her eyes and was taken by surprise a little in her groggy state. Slowly; Carla sat up and saw that the person sitting at the foot of her bed was none other than Emily Grynte herself! Emily looked over and smiled at Carla. “Hey Carla, how are you doing?” asked Emily softly. Carla rubbed her forehead as she managed to moan out, “Fine…I guess.” She let out a sort of ‘Ulp!’ sound but she was OK. “You feeling better?” solicited Emily. “Yeah, what happened?” inquired Carla. “You don’t remember?” asked Emily. Carla shook her head, “No.” She said. Emily sighed and starts to explain what happened, “OK; you gave us away to the constable and then you came over to us with your insults and jabs. Then, you literally projectile vomit on the floor and passed out.” Carla was dazed as if she was trying to process this information. “I did…? Shit.” She admitted. “I think you should apologize to them, I don’t know what caused you to be like this.” Emily replied. Carla nodded, “Yeah, sure.” She said groggily. “I mean it.” Emily said firmly. “I know, I know.” Carla answered, taking her seriously. Emily sighed; she was quiet for a moment and then stated: “I also want to mention something, want to tell me about why you’re upset about Gideon?” Carla rolled her eyes, “You’re the mind reader, girlie.” She growled. “I wanna here it from you.” Emily said sternly. Carla looked at Emily for a few moments and then she let out a deep sigh. “Fine, yes. I had a history with Gideon. You see, I guess was out in the night of the town and all of a sudden he comes by and sweeps me off my feet. Cliché, huh?”  She said with sarcasm. Emily nodded, “Yeah…” She said softly as she watched Carla with furrowed brows and a worried expression. Carla was shuddering but managed to continue with her story: “But then, he knows about my powers and then he’s all: ‘So love, you want to work with me? I’ll bet you would.’ And I agreed because he was so friggin’ charming. Then…everything turned to shit. He used me, told me who to kill and he would hurt me if I didn’t do it right. Sometimes, he would feel me up and then he would….give me unwanted feel ups. Touching me in places I didn’t want to be touched.” Carla said, not wanting to go into details but it sounded gruesome as it was. Emily’s eyes widened in horror, “Shit…” She muttered. Carla gave her a wry smirk, “Yeah, loads of it. If he didn’t decide to banged me up, he’d bring these girls and didn’t let me join him in his…activities…with those girls.” Again; Carla jolted as soon as she said that! “In bed?” Emily inquired. Carla nodded, her face looked pained: “In bed.” She answered. Emily let that sink in as she shook her head in disgust: “Wow, that’s…screwed up.” Emily finally confessed. Carla put her faces in her hands, “I know…He made me feel so raw, so dirty.” She choked out. It was quiet for awhile, Carla looked up as she wiped her eyes but the tears had stained her face and her eyes were red around them. She looked rather vulnerable. “Carla, I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” Emily asked. “I…I don’t know…I didn’t want you and your stupid friends getting involved. Besides, I got my professional reputation but I left him because…He resurrected so many of my deceased loved ones and then forced me to kill them as some sort of sick, twisted science experiment. I did…And that was the last straw.” Carla said, still crying. Emily looked at her, she looked like she was going to cry too. Carla glared at her, “Don’t you dare…” She warned. “I know, I know….Come here.” Emily said gently. With great reluctance; Emily wrapped her arms around Carla into an embrace. Carla continued to cry until she finally pulled away. Carla calmed down, the two girls were silent until Carla said: “You know, I guess I should’ve said something sooner.” Emily shook her head, “No, it’s fine. Maybe it wasn’t our business but you know what the problem is? It’s just that someone is keeping things bottled in so much that it hurts and hurts. But what hurts is the grief, the guilt, and the pain of what happened is too much to bear.” Carla glanced back at Emily with amazement, “You mean…you too?” She asked. Emily smiled sadly and nodded. “Does the hurt ever go away?” Carla asked. “It stings but it does get better overtime. You just become haunted by it so you won’t repeat the same things over and over again. That’s something you need to remember by.” Emily replied. Carla nodded, “Emily…You’re a piece of work but hey, you ain’t so bad.” She admitted. Emily beamed over at her, “Thanks Carla. That means a lot to me.” She stated. Thus, this brought Carla closer to Emily and forms trust in her. Carla recalled on her encounter with Michael Tanaka and the others, she remembered what Tanaka said to her: “I have done many terrible things towards mankind over the years with pride, witnessing people who have doubt their faith and taken credit for a massacre of a revolution against the innocence.” He loosens his grip on her neck a little, and placed those dirty paws of his on Carla’s shoulders. “You want to know where I’m going with this, well my pretty…using other people to gain power. Really, there's not one instance when people like us lies. I believe I know what you're getting into and the consequences of your actions, but you do it anyway because of the scars on your heart. But everything else just keeps getting more and more intense and crazy as it keeps going.” Just then; Carla has hallucinations again of her mother Lelica was drugged and drained as her abusive father appeared before his wife and forced himself upon her. The others didn't help; they thought she was crazy so they all laughed at her. Carla was forced to watch. Then, there was the remains of her best friend, Monica Flambeau, was her feet which had her favorite shoes on. Carla turned away but  saw to her horror was Mr. Russell's corpse, his own nape was red and there was a puddle of that awful color on the floor! She saw her first love Jeb was being lead away to be beaten to death. Carla was in a panic as she tries to use a spell to save him however she heard a crunch sound of bones as well as a sickening sound of flesh ripped apart. Carla screamed, "JEB!!!!!" She looked around her apartment where she can see there is nothing but saw herself as somebody different, someone more beautiful and perfect but it was nothing like her. More like a different girl, who was laughing and talking with Carla’s mother. Carla shouted: "What the hell are you doing with him?!" But she turned to her and said, "What does it look like you pathetic, good girl? I'm here with your boyfriend. You think anybody's gonna love you, you're disgusting. Nobody wants to be around a selfish, friendless bitch." She laughed at her, and then Carla could hear more laughter as she couldn't see where it was coming from. "What's going on?" She thought with a panic. Just then, she is waking up where people are stripping her clothes off. Carla covered herself but gasped at how her body is branded with words on her skin: "LIAR", "TRAITOR", "THIEF", "SELFLESS BITCH", "PATHETIC", "FRIENDLESS", and "ALONE". People chanting: "CARLA DANGERI IS A LIAR!!!! CARLA IS A TRAITOR!!! CARLA IS A THIEF!!!! CARLA IS A SELFLESS BITCH!!!!!" CARLA IS PATHETIC!!!!! CARLA IS A FRIENDLESS LONER!!!!"

She remembered that a gang of thugs enter and begin to harass Carla, who had no time to deal with them. In a nutshell, one of the thugs got pissed off as he tries to take a swing at Carla but she deflects the punches by mind over matter! She used the ability to do it to the other guys who fell backwards. Emily grinned, “See? What I tell you? Isn’t she awesome?” She whispered. “Who is she?” Kamoku asked. “Carla Dangeri.” Emily said. Carla was done with dealing with the thugs but her powers were still unstable as well as her emotions. Realizing how bad the situation is; Peyton steps in while he says, “Hey, take it easy…” but he is thrown off his feet from energy of mind over matter. He was shocked; he looked up and was shaken. Peyton reached over however he was thrown backwards. In her irritation, Carla used her powers against Ryker, Kamoku and his friends. She was a lot more tougher towards them! Emily stepped in as she said to her: “You need to stand down…Now.” Carla uses her mind over matter abilities to levitate a glass, “Dare you to move.” She dared. Emily looked at the others and said, “Don’t even try it. I can do better with or without them.” Carla stared at her with deep anger. But surrenders and drops the glass bottle down gently. “Who are you?” Ryker asked. “Just a resourceful private investigator but you better watch your step in this city now…” Carla stated. She leaned over and whisper that only Ryker could hear, “….Wendigo Boy.” She realized she was sidetracking and the memories haunt her: Michael pulls away from Carla who follows him as he encloses around her while sneering at her glare. “Here you think I'm here to make you think I am no longer evil and that I'm going to help you for good. But who knows, I could stab you in the back. This is the meaning of my life. This is what her purpose of being here is for. Although we know I'm just trying to get closer to Emily as well as the kiddies and get the position of power, I mean all of this is like art. I love art; it’s what I live for!” Hayato was managing a smile as well as the others who looked rather skeptical. However; Carla rolled her eyes, annoyed. But then; Michael seized her shoulders and caressed the side of her faces. “I have a power over you and whatever you want to do it, it is still I who controls anyone. Whatever you do, I am still stuck inside your mind.” He said. Then, draws away and throws his arms up in frustration. “I literally brought you to here under the pretense. I like to think of myself as the true master of my very own manipulations. Here I sit, on the seat of sweet smell of corpses of this throne.” He said. Michael whirled around where he stated, “My world is one ruled by what I was given and that everyone in this world has to show respect for it.” He went behind Carla at her side. “How do you feel about that?” It was then Carla got mentally detoured and she remembered another memory Carla peered into Kamoku’s eyes, then she pulled away shrieking. Her hand over her mouth but she managed to say: “What are you?” Kamoku was puzzled by this, he tried to speak however Carla held her hands out in front of her. “NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!” She exclaimed. She turned and ran off. She then went back to her memories with Tanaka: Carla peeked at him with a sideways glance, “How I feel about that? Well, you may be a control freak who witnessed a lot of shit…But I still think you still can’t be trusted.” She remarked. Michael pouted, “Oh poo. I thought I would win you over…But darling…I know you’re dirty little secret.” Taunted Michael, he lets out a chuckle. Hayato, Stephanie, Prisca, Hikaru and Kanchan sneered at Carla’s furrowed brows and suspicious frown. “You know, what kind of girl doesn't have a secret that's on everyone's lips?” remarked Michael. “Please, I’m not surprise. It’s him isn’t it.” Carla said. Michael shook his head, “Not Gideon of course but there seems to be something inside you.” He said. Carla looked at him with wide eyes, “What? You mean to tell me…” She asked. “That’s right! Banshee, harpy and Fury. All in one.” Michael said scornfully. Carla’s gasp is caught in her throat, “No…” She was trembling in fear. “You don’t realize this dark side of yourself that slowly creeps into your mind and heart.” Michael whispered into Carla’s ear where she was too stunned to speak or move. “You can’t see the insanity of this darkness in the mirror and you can’t make it disappear. It’ll take over you, nor you will ever see it cry and it will be ready to take control, it’s a threat that claims it’s your fault.  Give yourself up, Carla. You can’t hide it anymore…” Michael muttered. Carla trembled, letting out wobbly gasps. She bowed her head as she fell to her knees. Michael helps her up again, arms around her, “Come on, I know you need a little fun in your life. Besides, entertainment is my specialty du jour. Don't just be there there looking desperate, would I kid you and play a trick?” He asked. His right hand snaked under Carla’s chin and she looked up with tears in her eyes. “I think you ought to take my little bargain. Yes, I think you ought to make my little proposition. Why don't you let me take that dream and make it real?” said Michael. Carla remembered also that there were the agents from Dream States as they were crowded around an alley. Carla and Emily headed over there. “What’s going on?” Emily asked when they arrived. “There was a murder, take a look.” Marvin stated. Carla stepped forward to take a look and looked down to see the horror of a badly disfigured body. The body was of a man where he looked like he was eviscerating multiple times. “Sick bastard cut him up many times, no doubt about it.” One said. “He got what he deserved.” A second said. “It’s almost like a grace from God.” A third replied. “No, not God. God didn’t do this.” Carla said while standing up. She walked out of the alley while saying, “The Devil did.” She walked passed Kamoku and his friends as she uttered, “And I’m gonna find him.” Kamoku stared at her in confusion. Carla snapped back into reality and continued on with her day! 

That night; Carla fell asleep and had a memory in her dream that’s not hers: Emily, Kamoku 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 Emily 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, Emily felt something was not right—even Kamoku 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. Emily, Kamoku, 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. Emily 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. Emily and the others were sickened by the sight, but the girl noticed them—she smiled wickedly. “You’re that girl!” Emily gasped. “Hello Emily.” Andrea greeted. “Oh god, it’s you!” Minako 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.” Andrea replied in a creepy monotone voice. Earlier; Minako was following behind but felt someone’s hands on her shoulders and a whisper from behind: “My dear, sweet and lovely Minako…You are truly beautiful and you’re so sure…Maybe you’re clever than someone like me.” Minako froze in her tracks. In the present, Minako was trembling in terror. “It is you. I don’t believe it.” She managed to say. Andrea 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.” And she begins to sing in a creepy tone to a variety of songs: “One, two, Mother's coming for you three, four, won't you lock the door? Five, six, I'm done with this, seven eight it's getting late. Nine, ten never sleep again....We're going to get you. We're going to get you. Not another peep. Time to go to sleep....Ring around the rosie; What do you suppose we can do to fight the darkness in which we drown? Ring around the rosie; This evil thing, it knows me, Lost ghosts surround me, I can't fall down. Ring around the rosie; lost and oh so lonely, left to lie, with evil eyes, you're all going to die.” While Andrea crooned; Emily and the others managed to get back to the military base as they never forgot what happened to them.

The banshee is often described in Gaelic lore as wearing red or green, usually with long, disheveled hair. She can appear in a variety of forms. Perhaps most often she is seen as an ugly, frightful hag, but she can also appear as young and beautiful if she chooses. In some tales, the figure who first appears to be a banshee or other cailleach, which is a folklore hag, is later revealed to be the Irish battle goddess, the Morrígan. In Ireland and parts of Scotland, a traditional part of mourning is the keening woman who wails a lament. This keening woman may in some cases be a professional, and the best keeners would be in high demand. The lament would be sung by a fairy woman; having foresight, she would sing it when a family member died, even if the person had died far away and news of their death had not yet come, so that the wailing of the banshee was the first warning the household had of the death. In later versions, the banshee might appear before the death and warn the family by wailing. When several banshees appear at once, it indicates the death of someone great or holy.  The tales sometimes recounted that the woman, though called a fairy, was a ghost, often of a specific murdered woman, or a mother who died in childbirth. As she skimmed a little more; Carla discovered something interesting things about banshees: In Irish mythology, Clíodhna, with variant spelling of the name: Clídna, Clionadh, Clíodna, Clíona, transliterated to Kleena in English; is a Queen of the Banshees of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Cleena of Carrigcleena is the potent banshee that rules as queen over the fairy women of the hills. She is the principal goddess of Ireland. In some Irish myths, Clíodhna is a goddess of love and beauty. She is said to have three brightly coloured birds who eat apples from an otherworldly tree and whose sweet song heals the sick. She leaves the otherworldly island of Tir Tairngire ("the land of promise") to be with her mortal lover, Ciabhán, but is taken by a wave as she sleeps due to the music played by a minstrel of Manannan mac Lir in Glandore harbour in County Cork: the tide there is known as Tonn Chlíodhna, "Clíodhna's Wave". Whether she drowns or not depends on the version being told, along with many other details of the story. She had her palace in the heart of a pile of rocks, five miles from Mallow, which is still commonly known by the name of Carrig-Cleena, and numerous legends about her are told among the Munster peasantry. Then, Carla begins to research on Harpies and found some results on the Harpy species that she was curious about: The Harpies were mythical monsters in Greek mythology, having the form of a bird and a human face. They carried evildoers to be punished by the Erinyes. Zeus had given the gift of prophecy to King Phineus of Thrace, who used it to uncover the secret plan of the god. Angry, Zeus blinded him and put him on an island, where there was a lot of food; however, Phineus could not eat anything, because the Harpies would steal his food before he could eat it. Years later, Jason and the Argonauts arrived at the island, managing to drive the Harpies away. The Harpies escaped to their cave in Crete, while Phineus helped the Argonauts by telling them how to pass the Symplegades rocks. The Harpies were also seen as the personifications of the destructive winds. Initially, two harpies were mentioned; Aello (storm swift), and Ocypete (swift wing). Later, a third was added, named Celaeno (dark). Harpies are a group of female monsters in the form of a bird with a human face. They steal food from their victims while they are eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their family) to the Erinyes. They seem originally to have been wind spirits. Their name means "snatchers". “Here the repellent harpies make their nests, Who drove the Trojans from the Strophades. With dire announcements of the coming woe. They have broad wings, with razor sharp talons and a human neck and face, Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw their lamentations in the eerie trees.” As quoted from Dante’s Inferno story written by Virgil. And finally; Carla researched on the Furies and learns that the Furies were female chthonic deities of vengeance; they were sometimes referred to as "infernal goddesses". A formulaic oath in the Iliad invokes them as "those who beneath the earth punish whosoever has sworn a false oath". According to Hesiod's Theogony, when the Titan Cronus castrated his father, Uranus and threw his manhood into the sea, the Erinyes--which they are called in Greece--as well as the Meliae emerged from the drops of blood when it fell on the earth (Gaia), while Aphrodite was born from the crests of sea foam. According to variant accounts, they emerged from an even more primordial level—from Nyx, or from a union between air and mother earth. Their number is usually left indeterminate.

Alecto, Megaera, and Tisiphone, all of whom appears in the Aeneid. Dante Alighieri followed Virgil in depicting the same three-character triptych of Erinyes; in Canto IX of the Inferno they confront the poets at the gates of the city of Dis.  Sounds ghastly? Yes it does. But here's more into their background: The Erinyes live in Erebus and are more ancient deities than any of the Olympians. Their task is to hear complaints brought by mortals against the insolence of the young to the aged, of children to parents, of hosts to guests, and of householders or city councils to suppliants - and to punish such crimes by hounding culprits relentlessly. The Erinyes are crones and, depending upon authors, described as having snakes for hair, dog's heads, coal black bodies, bat's wings, and blood-shot eyes. In their hands they carry brass-studded scourges, and their victims die in torment. Alecto is the Erinys with the job of castigating the moral crimes (such as anger), especially if they are against other people. Her function is similar to Nemesis, with the difference that Nemesis's function is to castigate crimes against the gods. In the Aeneid, Juno commanded Alecto to prevent the Trojans from having their way with King Latinus by marriage or besiege Italian borders. Alecto's mission is to wreak havoc on the Trojans and cause their downfall through war. To do this, Alecto takes over the body of Queen Amata, who clamors for all of the Latin mothers to riot against the Trojans. She disguises herself as Juno's priestess Calybe and appears to Turnus in a dream persuading him to begin the war against the Trojans. Met with a mocking response from Turnus, Alecto abandons persuasion and attacks Turnus with a torch, causing his blood to "boil with the passion for war". Unsatisfied with her work in igniting the war, Alecto asks Juno if she can provoke more strife by drawing in bordering towns. Juno replies that she will manage the rest of the war herself: ‘You're roving far too freely, high on the heavens' winds, and the Father, king of steep Olympus, won't allow it. You must give way. Whatever struggle is still to come, I'll manage it myself.’ Megaera is the cause of jealousy and envy, and punishes people who commit crimes, especially marital infidelity. Like her sisters Alecto and Tisiphone, as well as the Melian Nymphs, she was born of the blood of Uranus when Cronus neutered him. This name denotes a jealous or spiteful woman translates as "shrew". And Tisiphone was the one who punished crimes of murder: parricide, fratricide and homicide. In Book VI of Virgil's Aeneid, she is described as the guardian of the gates of Tartarus, 'clothed in a blood-wet dress'. In Book IV of Ovid's Metamorphoses, she is described as a denizen of Dis who wears a dripping red robe and who has a serpent coiled around her waist. At the behest of Juno, Tisiphone drives Athamas and Ino mad with the breath of a serpent extracted from her hair and a poison made from froth from the mouth of Cerberus and Echidna's venom. According to one myth, she fell in love with a mortal, Cithaeron, but was spurned; in her anger she formed a poisonous snake from her hair, which bit and killed him. In Book I of Chaucer's "Troilus and Criseyde", the narrator calls upon her to help him to write the tragedy properly.


Hearing Ozzy talking; Katriel speaks up: "Are you crazy to participate in this? People like you will likely get in the way of your reckless bullshit." Ozzy glares at him, "Somebody's gotta stop them. And that person is me." He declared. Katriel gives him a look while saying, "You? Please, you might as well as be useless. How would you know if you would be a liability against the monsters?" Ozzy was annoyed, "Well, after training; most of us aren't inexperienced. I mean, we have new knowledge that surrounds the Carroll Family because most of us have been wiped out and here we have people like you, me and the rest. So do me a favor and shut up, because you sound like we're all going to die." He declared. Then, Ozzy paused enough to sneer at Katriel and say: "Maybe it's because you're scared of the Wendigos." Katriel got mad, "What was that?" He demanded. He approached Ozzy, who said to him with a dark smirk on his face: "You are nothing to anyone. You wouldn't stand a chance; you'll probably pissed yourself out of fear." Katriel is about to beat him however he stops himself and asked, "You'd ever seen how these monsters reproduce?" Ozzy looked at him, "What?" He asked. "Do they have a female mound or a male shaft? Hmm? No, you don't see it, it's like with a cat, you can't exactly tell if they are either a male or female species. It's left ambiguous, so how is there so many of them? Tell me that." Katriel quipped. "What? You think I'm stupid? I've seen many of them, maybe not in person but I can't tell what kind of gender they are. Besides, someone like you shouldn't talk big for saying shit like this, spoiled brat." Ozzy taunted. Katriel then mocked him saying, "You know what? Same goes for you, I heard that some guy was pretty messed up by how he lost his wife….Your own mother, boy what a momma’s boy." Ozzy got angry, "BASTARD!!!" He exclaimed and the two nearly got into a fight. Carla try to break them apart however Ozzy, in his anger, didn’t know his own strength for he accidentally put a hand through Carla’s chest. Hard. Carla immediately collapsed to the floor, Katriel and Ozzy are shocked by this. However, to their surprise; Carla rose back like a normal person but noticed their staring. “Why are you guys looking at me like that?” She demanded. “Carla…Is that you? What happened to you?” Katriel uttered. “Good God, I…I’m sorry, I’m sorry…I didn’t know!” claimed Ozzy. Confused; Carla rushed to the mirror and saw the cause of the distress. Her lips were burnt to a deep shade of red. Her face was turned into a pure white color, and her hair looked like it was scorched. She slowly put her hands to her shoulders. Carla looked back at the boys then back at the mirror. “Carla, you don’t look that bad….” Katriel started to say. “What do you mean? I’m beautiful.” Whispered Carla. The boys were equally surprised. Mesmerized by her reflection, she struggles to get to her feet.  Once up, something strikes inside her as being darkly funny—this caused Katriel and Ozzy to become nervous. What theye could see is that Carla is in all white except her black hair and eyes. Her arms are seeping with fresh blood from the huge wound in the place of her chest is, which has blood running from it. Her new appearance was shining brightly in the light. Something dawn on her as being absolute insanity and Carla stands in the light, shrieking with laughter.
