Chapter 13: The Greater Truth 

Lily was still tormenting the leader and things were going crazy. “Who were those two boys that were bound and gagged? What are their names?” Lily demanded. The leader sneered, “Like hell I would remember!” He retorted. “WRONG ANSWER!!!” Lily exclaimed, she tilted the leader on the ground as he hit the side of his head. “I’m gonna ask you again, what were the names of the boys that were bound and gag? GIMME THEIR NAMES!!! NOW!!!!” Lily shrieked. Then, she heard movement and whirled around, “WHO DARES INFILITRATED ON MY LAND?!” She hits her reliquary against the throne while screaming: “GET UP YOU ASS! GET UP, I SAY!!!” Bonnie held her hands up, “Hey take it easy Lily!” She claimed. Lily’s attitude softened, “Bonnie? Is that you?” She said softly. “Oh, so now she notices.” Kendan remarked. Lily put her arms around Kendan’s shoulders happily, “What’s up Kendan?!” She chirped. She whirled him around while dancing on her dainty feet. "Lily." Kendan said in a strained voice. "Hello!" Lily said, oblivious. "Lily!" exclaimed Kendan. "Hello!" Lily squealed. "LILY!" Kendan hollered. "Hello!" Lily chirped. Kendan took Lily by the back of collar, "We're bringing you out of here." He said. Lily gives him a look, "But I have a score to settle. I have gone crazy." She said calmly. Kendan pulled her up, "So be sane." He said. Sylver pushed him away, "I can't do it! My mission must be completed!" She said while scrambling away. "So what?" Kendan said. Lily pounced on the leader, then stood up and grinned: “My friends, I am not going to stop until I get my revenge on the world…No, wait. 49 percent of it. And if I end up with blood on my hands and God help me that you’ll understand. Why?” Lily said. She paused a little and then leaned in while shrieking, “…’Cause I FIGHT LIKE A GIRL BITCHES!!!” The leader looked up at her, “You’re insane!” He declared. Lily put her foot on his head, “Ah ah, I’m talking to my homies here so hush-hush.” She scolded at him like a child. “Why would you wait?” A voice said. Alruna appeared, “Why don’t you finish him off already?” She said, holding a knife as she said: “I bet rubbing weenies against knives is fun!” Lily gasped in horror, she grits her teeth but Ban was faster and pounced her but Alruna laughed as she sprayed a burning chemical on his skin. He cried out in pain but luckily he could heal fast! Alruna took Lily by her throat while hissing, “Gotta go! Girl talk…Bye!” She dragged her away into a dark mansion but Carla, Ayuta, Marala, Harence, Tooru and Keila followed. No sooner that happened; Bonnie and Kendan followed as they hid behind a drawer almost near the wall as they peeked out to see Carla, Ayuta and Harence were there. The trio felt themselves was bound by a telekinetic force around them. “What is this? What are you doing to us?” Carla demanded in a scared tone. Andrea explains to the three captives: “You will see the purpose of my revenge…You will know fear, pain and agony like the bastards you are!!!” Alruna screamed, her powers caused the trio to react to psychic torment and they were shouting in agony as well as begging for mercy. During this process, Alruna are successful for breaking the minds of Carla, Ayuta and Harence. Thus, they are taking control. Carla, Ayuta and Harence's minds are assaulted with painful, horrifying visions, and their will broken. Carla, Ayuta and Harence were screaming from the painful memories inside their heads. Alruna giggled at their suffering while she watched them writhed. Bonnie put her hands over her ears while looking stress, “This is not happening, this is not happening!” She said. “This happened before?” Kendan asked. “During the Carroll fiasco, yes.” Bonnie elucidated. “So it’s déjà-vu for ya?” Kendan inquired. Bonnie nodded, “Aye.” She replied grimly. Alruna was tilting her head to the side while her hands going down her thighs. She hits herself against the wall in ecstasy while she tortures Carla, Ayuta and Harence with images of herself pleasuring herself and the people she is torturing. However; Alruna begins to suffer pain in her mind. She felt her mind being torn apart and she screamed in terror. Bonnie and Kendan grinned with amazed looks on their faces. “Yes!” Kendan cheered. “What a miracle!” Bonnie whispered. Alruna angrily slams the ground with her fist, "Why, that little savage--!!" She looks amazed for a second, and Lily jumps and punches her fist into the air, "Yes!" She exclaimed. Lily has a net that she throws it at her doppelganger. "No! It’s your turn!" She cried. Alruna begins to struggle and thrash around in the net, but Lily has a firm grip on it, and begins to try to haul her over her shoulder. Alruna has lost her grip while she is thrashing more wildly than before. "Let me go!" She cried in a pleading voice. "I don’t think so!" growled Lily. Alruna struggled before clawing at Lily who lets go and fell backwards. “You stupid little girl…You think you could overpower me? Ha! I’ll show you…” She growled. Lily was scared, she scrambled backwards on the ground as her doppelganger advanced towards her when all of a sudden a sultry hissing female voice startled everyone: “DID I NOT INSTRUCT THAT BOX FIVE WAS TO BE KEPT EMPTY?!” Carla, Ayuta, Marala, Harence, Tooru and Keila were shocked. Sturla caught his breath, he exhales shakily. Kendan and Bonnie were surprised as well as everyone else. “She’s here! Andrea Carroll! It’s really her!” Bonnie gasped. “Oh shit!” Kendan groaned. At that moment; Andrea appeared in a close-fitting black dress that has a high collar, buttons up the front, and flows outward in a full, pleated skirt. She wore heeled silver heeled ballet flats. Andrea has her hair in a high bun with a hairpin holding it up. “YOU DARE DO THIS TO THEM!!! YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!” Andrea bellowed. Alruna grinned tightly, “YOU DID THAT TOO!!!” She clarified. “I’VE CHANGED, I FEEL GUILTY SO SHUT THE HELL UP!!!” Andrea declared. Alruna giggled, “You know, this brings back memories to you. Doesn’t it? No? Let me enlighten you.” She said. She then said something that reminded Andrea of a certain memory: “Do you know the meaning of obsession? No? OK, let’s start! 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. You see, I want something to fill that void. All was just average but this extraordinary change can be intimidating and nauseating with all that gore of the remorseless. I mean, buckets of blood, 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 me. I want you so badly to put my names on my ‘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! I am unable to control the thoughts of myself. I never wanted to be addicted to you people but happens and I want your undivided attention. I 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.” Aluna continued, “Maybe it was a cruel act of savagery. My point is…” Behind Andrea, Alruna held a knife and stabbed her in the back and Andrea fell on the ground. “…This whole world can make someone like me go insane.” She continued to beat Andrea as she proceed to talk, “You don’t know the cruelty of life or why people become cynical by all this…I mean do you ever think about 49% of the population of its 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?!” Alruna raised her foot up to stomp on Andrea but unfortunate, Andrea caught her foot and threw her backwards. “Because I snapped once and let me tell you, it wasn’t fun…At all.” Andrea declared. Alruna tries to assault Andrea again but Andrea uses her powers. “I want you and brought back to Lily. And that’s I’m here—to take you down. Here’s something you to know, since what you did to Lily’s mind; she’s one of the most logic people I’ve known. Not everyone snaps all the time…Maybe…You’re wrong.” Andrea said. Alruna grits her teeth, “You brought him here didn’t you?” She hissed. Negative Sylver smiles tightly and glances up, “Yoo hoo! Daisuke, I know you’re up there somewhere…” She called. Just then, there was a voice that called out: “Past~! The point of no return!” Sturla watched in nervous anticipation as Andrea felt the corners of her mouth turning with excitement. Alruna turned as she saw Daisuke in the center as he wasn’t alone. There was the smug but solemn Keigen. Ayuta, Harence and Tooru stood alongside him. “So the demon unveils thyself.” Alruna said. Daisuke laughed, “Bravo, Madcap Beauty, such spirited words!” He exclaimed. Alruna whirled around as the others hid in the distance and called out, “More tricks, you devil?” She retorted. “Let's see, madam, how far you dare go!” Daisuke barked. Keigen and the other guys uses their guns at Alruna, who dodges them, “More deception? More violence?” She hollered. “That's right, that's right, Madcap Beauty! Keep walking this way!” Daisuke taunted. “You can't win by making me wield to your control!” Alruna exclaimed. Daisuke laughs excitedly, “I'm here, I'm here, Lady Alruna: the Fiend of Revenge!” He taunted, “Come on, come on, darling! Don't stop, don't stop!” Angry; Alruna called out, “Stop this now!” She managed to escape. Afterwards; Michelle is hurrying across. Sturla sees her and calls after her. “Miss Salvatore. Wait!” Michelle didn’t stop as she said, “Please, Sturla, I know no more than anyone else.” Sturla even his pace with hers, “That's not true!” He said. Michelle was uneasy. “Sturla, don't ask. There have been too many incidents to count.” She tried to explain. “This happened before?!” Sturla demanded. Michelle moves off again. He stops her. “Please, Michelle, for argument sake…” Sturla begged. Michelle has glanced nervously around her and suddenly deciding to trust him. “Very well.” She said. She leads him and showed him the Moneta. 

Then, Michelle plays the memories on the Moneta and Sturla watched and boy he couldn’t believe it: 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. As Kamoku, his friends, and Emily’s friends were asleep in the hours of darkness; Emily was awake as she couldn’t get to sleep. But while she watched the others slept, Emily was shocked to see a woman with flowers in her hair and a tattered gown that flowed down her ankles. Her bony-thin hands cascaded in Kamoku’s hair in a maternal affection, she did the same towards Evan—it was Abigail. Emily’s eyes widened and bulged in horror, she wanted to scream but couldn’t for she was so frighten. Kitty and Polly ogled at both Peyton and Jade as they used a feather to trace the sides of their faces. Mora petted Peyton’s head, cradling him as he slept. “So young, so sweet and innocent…” She muttered softly. And Andrea just stared at Minako, she has a glance of perverse evil on her face. Emily was frozen with fear, she couldn’t let them get to close. So she reached over to Kamoku and gently cut a wound in his hand. Blood oozed out but he didn’t stir so Emily dipped her finger into his blood and took a taste where she managed to absorb his power. She transformed and managed to take down Abigail and her daughters with swift motions as well as trying her best not to wake anyone. But Abigail was angry that Emily was interfering and was whispering: “They’re mine….All mine…!” Emily smirked, “Like hell.” She declared. She took down the four daughters who were thrown out and Emily kicked Abigail, who let out a heartbreaking yowl: “WHHHHYYYYYYYY?!” At that instant; Emily managed to get back to her position to sleep before the others woke up; they heard a wail that roused them from their slumber. Sturla was scared out of his wits by what he saw, he breathed and continued to watch: A honey sweet soprano voice spoke up: “Poor, unfortunate soul. How sad and in pain she’s in.” Lily recognize the voice, “Is that you Angel? My angels? Are you there?” She called out. “My sweet, dear and lovely child—Dry your tears, no need to weep. All is well.” The voice said. Emily, Kamoku, Peyton, and Evan hid while listening to this however Emily could feel herself panic. She knew it was Andrea once again! “When I am filled with dread and alone, I run to the cross. For the Saving Grace is my everything.” Lily speaks out. “You are my North Star, I am not alone.” Then, Lily heard a child-like voice said: “Come, my sweet. Come with me.” Emily thoughts went wild, “It’s Andrea!” She thought. Lily smiled, lost in the trance as she was about to walk forward until Evan seized Lily from her trance, “Hey! Snap out of it!” He commanded. “Come on, wake up Lily!” Emily begged. At that moment, Lily broke from the trance and saw Evan; she put her arms around his neck. “Thank you.” She said. Evan was surprise and helped her to safety. “Andrea, you keep your distance from the girl!” Emily called out. “You are viruses to someone as clean as her, I forbid you all to come close. You’ll taint her with your dirty hands!” Andrea exclaimed. “You will burn in hell for what you do here!” Emily was terrified by that voice, she begins to tremble. “I think it’s you that will burn.” Confirmed Kamoku. That’s when Andrea appeared and she smiles at Kamoku with glee, she stood there. Kamoku’s tough guy attitude faded while he trembled in fear. “What do you want?” He asked. After she took one leap, she was right in his face. Kamoku jumped back as Andrea caressed Kamoku’s face, “My sweet, frigid boy—I only want you. Don’t let Emily conceal you. Come with me and let me make you mine. I won’t bite you too hard…Unless you want me to.” She said seductively. At that moment, Mora was behind Evan and said: “I agree, don’t resist. I’m harmless but not always.” Kamoku and Evan are frozen with terror, Peyton felt helpless and Emily were very livid. She lunged at Mora and Andrea, while protecting her friends from harm. “YOU SCOUNDRELS!!!” Emily growled. She fought the two, who try to impale her with a dagger. Emily dodged it, she uses her fangs and bit Andrea’s hand and Mora’s wrist. It was a violent fight until Lily stopped Emily as well as the two sisters. “Don’t do it, they didn’t mean to do it! Please don’t do this!” She begged. Emily could see the tears in her eyes. So she lets Andrea and her sisters escaped! Emily comforts Lily. It turns out that Lily does know these sisters because she was in despair because of a crush she had who thinks is a freak and these four sisters came to her and comforted her. Emily was concern for Lily but she assures her all is well. In the meantime; Evan’s little sister, 13 years old Moya Graham was being held in a room, she was now part of an organization as their new weapon. Just then; Moya could hear a voice that speaks out: “Such unmannerly savages--look at how they relish you like you’re their property. Mindless ingrates! How they use you, pull your strings for a thrill. Allocating in this life.” Moya looked around as she responds, “Who’s there? Can you save me? I don’t think it’s possible to leave, I am a prisoner here.” The voice said to Moya, “My dear…Sweet…Lovely child, you shall be free. Look in front of you, I am there before you.” So Moya looked and saw a figure before her. She heard the voice said in a very compelling tone and was hypnotized by these words: “Approach my debutante. Let’s go to a place of enchantment and magic. Follow me for I will lead you out into a promised land.” The voice said over and over, the guards heard a voice and saw Moya in a trance as she walks to an unseen figure. They decide to report to commander while the others try to stop Moya. It was too late; the hypnotized Moya was now kidnapped by Andrea and her sisters. The guards could’ve sworn they saw a tattered white gown, a flower crown, and barefooted. “Come my ‘daughter’, I will take you into a world of enchantment and shadows. Fear not, I will keep you safe from who these people are.” She said. She gingerly took Moya’s hand and vanished. Moya gripped onto the hand of Abigail as she, Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly lead her to subterranean area. They helped Moya into a gondola. Moya sat there while Abigail rowed the gondola with an oar. Andrea and her sisters sang and dance. The four sisters were in a small circle, fingers entwined and singing: “Ahhhh, Oooooh, Lalalalala…..” Moya was feeling sleepy, her eyelids felt heavy and darkness enveloped. Moya was carried to a canopy bed by Abigail, who tucked the sleeping Moya into my garden of magic.” Abigail whispered to her. Moya fell asleep when all of a sudden, she was surprised to see other children playing and laughing. Moya looked around while she rises and approaches Abigail who does not see her. As she reaches for her, Abigail turns, almost catching her. She finally succeeds in tearing the mask from his face. Abigail springs up and rounds on her furiously. She clearly sees her face. The other children does not, as she is standing in profile and in shadow. Moya looked back with a guilty expression, she gave an apologetic look. Abigail glance at her, her face softened and she reached over as she embraced Moya. She tells her, “Go join the children, I’ll let you know what we will do today OK sweetie?” Moya nodded, she went away. Abigail watched her, she smiled and said: “Can you hear my voice Artem? The children are safe.” For the moment; Emily and the others were still walking about when all of a sudden, the intercom squawked for a moment before Andrea’s giggle is heard! Emily, Kamoku, and the others frozen in their tracks by that laugh. That’s when Andrea spoke, “Attention to all savages, we have a Code Red. So you see, we have a little sweet girl here that is with us. She’s part of—No. Not anymore, she’s rescued by our sanctuary. And now? Well, she couldn’t be happier.” She then said, “My dear? Would you come over here?” There was shuffling until Andrea spoke again: “Dearest, would you mind telling the world your name my cutie pie?” There was a short pause when a young girl’s voice ringed out, “Graham…Moya Graham.”  Evan looked shocked; he quivered in anger and broke down. “No….NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!” Sylvia put her arms around him to calm him down. Evan was enraged, “That witch, she has my sister! I can’t believe this! I’m going to kill her, I swear!” He exclaimed. “I know, but don’t worry—We’ll find Moya and we’ll get her back. I promise.” Sylvia said. Evan trembled a bit but he felt someone beside him, he looked up to see it was Kamoku. He had a determined look, “That Andrea girl won’t get away with this. Don’t give up, all right?” He said. Evan glanced at him, he calm down. “We were trained for situations like these.” Minako said. She smiled and said all of a suddenly, “Stick with me and I will lead you to freedom!” Emily just laughed, “Oh you will? Will you, won’t you? I guess we should trust in you.” She replied. However, Andrea added: “Oh, I almost forgot. All you Wendigos out there, we have some ‘appetizers’ waiting around the bend. Their names are Kamoku Makun, Minako Hayate, Jade Chieko, Peyton Reed, and Evan Graham. They are seen amongst some lovely ladies— Emily and her friends. Hey Em, you and your bosom buddies keep your teenagers safe!” But then she let out a dramatic gasp, “Oh wait. You’re all teenagers. I mean to say was, keep the appetizers safe from harm.” Emily and the gang were shocked as Andrea ended the intercom announcement. “Oh no.” uttered Emily. As soon as Andrea said that, the Wendigos—who were under the mind control—attacked Emily, Kamoku and the others who managed to fight them off as well as escaped in time. 

As soon as they got to safety, they had to keep moving. Meanwhile; Tate and his squad were having a meeting with the ruthless, cold hearted leader name Edom Hiroki who rebukes them of reaching their lowest point and recruiting ‘feminine qualities’ to the missions. At that moment that he was talking; the TV turned on as the image of Kamoku went into another room to see something from on the other side of glass of two boys who were really Peyton and Evan being bound, gagged, and seated in chairs while their legs were shackled. The cruel looking, stoic Edom gives instructions through an intercom, and stabbing is shown. Later, someone gives the order to release the boys. Tate, his squad, and everyone else were shocked by the sight as they wondered who would videotape this. No one remembered putting on the cameras! Just then; Andrea entered the room as her presence caused a stir and dread to the others. Tate and his squad members—Satoshi Quennel, Hana Kiritani, Nyla Yao, and Kousei Nakesha—stiffened by the sight of her. Edom Hiroki, Tadano Doutei, and Neera Chieko were calmed down but despite this Neera were shaken a little at the fear of this creepy young girl. Edom glared at Andrea who looked around the room, “My, oh my. What a nifty place you have here, my good man.” She replied. “Who are you?” Edom demanded with a stern gaze. Andrea turned to face Edom and glare at him, “You adversary…But, I am no demon.” She remarked. She approaches Edom, who fires at her. However Andrea is still alive as she laughs and gives her hair a toss back. Edom, moving backwards, is terrified. Andrea gives Edom a swinging roundhouse punch to the jaw, that sends him sliding over a table, to the floor and Andrea stood over him. Andrea held up daggers, showing them with Edom. “Know where I got these? From your guards. Remember? The time you got ‘em to torture Peyton and Evan? They were bound…gagged…shackled…You did not care how much pain they were in. You are disgraceful to the human race; you will burn for what you’ve done.” She said. She took the first dagger in her hand and impaled it into Edom’s shoulder. Edom grimaced while Andrea said, “That was for torturing your half sister Minako, treating her like the black sheep.” The second dagger went into Edom’s right shoulder, Edom contorted in pain. “That’s for killing Minako’s sister—her beautiful, cunning sister Masara. And for severely beating Tate Kyan.” Continued the vengeful Andrea. She took out a third and impaled Edom’s left knee. “That was for Evan Graham, how you sting him.” The fourth dagger plunged into Edom’s right knee, making Edom feel the pain. “You—How dare you! Just you wait, see what happens! I won’t forget you, I’ll find you!” He said. Andrea said, “And that was for Peyton Reed, you thought he barely felt that? Hell, that pain took so much effect and work for him not to forget.” And the grand finale, Andrea raised the last dagger as she said: “And after I impale your heart, you’ll never see me again.” Her voice was cold and harsh. “Don’t do it, you crazy witch!” Tate called out. Andrea look at Tate, “You dare stop me? I will not cease see this man after all the hell he put you all through. You think I cannot end his monarchy of his callous, severe tyranny and let him do as he pleases? You are screwed up in the head!” Mora then said, “He has a point, sister. Perhaps we shall see who might be the one to impale his cold and unfeeling heart, gouging it out in his hands. Sure, we could’ve done it ourselves but let the professionals handle it. One day, Edom Hiroki will no longer be a threat.” She smiled at Tate who glared at her. Andrea place the dagger away and she looked down at Edom, “I’ll let you go for now but the next time we meet. I won’t be so merciful. I won’t rest until I see your pitiless being resort into a pile of blood and guts. Perhaps I’ll drink your blood and eat your guts while chewing your bones of your soon to be corpse.” With that she turned and disappeared with Mora. Tate felt himself was shaken from the ordeal but the thought of Andrea and Mora predicting something like this was something out of the question. Back during the mission; Emily was alone as she absorbs Evan Graham’s power as she turned into the entity. However, Evan has misgivings on Emily and follows her but was shocked to witness her transformation. He was shocked by this sight. Emily managed to come across the monsters in this form. After she took down the beasts; Emily ran a hand across her new form, which was only temporarily. “Damn, I look pretty good.” She said to herself. That’s when she heard someone shouted in her ear: “Ah-ha!!!!” It made Emily jumped and she returns to normal. She turned to see a sneering Evan. “How did you know how to wake the ‘inner demon’ hm?” He remarked. “I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.” Lied Emily brightly. Sylvia came to her defense, “Even if she did know you couldn’t prove anything.” She said. Emily said a silent prayer and was relieved to have her, even though it wasn’t necessary. Minako spoke up, “She’s right. It doesn’t matter; I think we shouldn’t question this.” She said. She looked over at Emily with a nod. Emily nodded, she was thankful to have Minako! Later, Emily managed to be alone and she thought she was when she used her powers to cause her hair to be tied in a ponytail. Sleep wasn’t her biggest stress so much however she managed to pull her through all the toughness in her life. Emily looked at her digital pocket watch and left. That night; Emily walked into a house with sweat pants, socks, and a bra. But she put her tank top shirt on. Her hair was drenched from the shower she took, teeth brushed earlier while she was in the bathroom. It was dimly lit so she tries to brighten in the room as she found the switch to the lamp. After she did that, Emily heard a voice, “Emily Grynte.” Emily whirled around in shock and saw Kamoku and Evan there. “The hell? How did you get here in my quarters? Asked Emily. “Oh, I’m good with pick-pocketing so that’s how.” Evan replied. “You really are a friggin’ show off aren’t you?” Evan glared at Kamoku until Emily spoke up, “Uh uh! If you argue, I’ll kick you two out! It’s been a long day boys!” Kamoku and Evan got serious as Evan said, “We saw you.” Emily smirked at them, “Peeping on a girl getting dress? Shame on you guys.” She scolded playfully. Kamoku reflected with his own sneer, “You moved objects with your mind.” He said. Emily’s smile faded, her heart thumped like crazy. Now she was in trouble, maybe she can fight her way out of this. “No, that was the wind. What kind of power is that? I don’t do that.” Emily said. “Oh no, there was no wind—it was all you there.” Evan confirmed. Emily gulped, “Are you trying to demonize me?” She said in a cold tone. “No, nobody else could’ve caused that but you.” Kamoku replied. Emily sighed, hands running through her hair. She was stressed by what was happening. “OK, look. I can explain, I move things with my mind. I can heal fast. I’m not like most girls.” She claimed. Kamoku’s face softened, “It’s not that—it’s just that you’re hiding something. Like, you’re holding something back.” He notified. “I’m not.” Emily whispered. “I think you are, isn’t she?” Evan said. “Yeah but we can’t force her to tell us.” Kamoku insisted. “Well I can!!!” Evan exclaimed, he reaches towards her to pull at her clothing. Emily growled as she got on top of as they roll around in this fight, her fists pressed against his chest. Kamoku attacks from behind while he gripped his arms around her neck and down below, he grins as he said: “Gotcha!” But Emily punches him in the jaw, Kamoku groaned in pain. “Owwww, what was that for?” He complained. “Your hand was in the wrong part buddy!” Emily claimed, covering her chest. This fight went on for awhile until it ended with Emily panted, glaring at Kamoku and Evan, who have scrapes and bruises as they look at her with terror on their faces. “NO! I’m not doing this with you two, get out—NOW!!!” She stipulated firmly. The tone of her voice sounded shaken and harsh, Kamoku and Evan scrambled to their feet while they left; shutting the door behind the boys. Emily sighed as she catches her breath. She felt the feeling of rush throughout her heart. Emily was afraid of doing this again, she cursed out at herself: “I am a sick bitch aren’t I? All because of him, I hate myself for this!” She muttered. Just then, Emily saw a shadow and gasped while she saw a piece of paper. She picked it up and opened it, in the message it says: “Wow that looked quite intense. I wonder if you can handle a little more intensity. Please bring those two over and we can have a little fun. Sincerely, Andrea.” Emily re-read the note as she sighed, she knew this was going to be risky but working with these two wasn’t going to be easy. However, she smiles to herself. She seemed to have something up her sleeve….The next day; Emily, Kamoku, and Evan were quietly heading towards the location of where Andrea and the other sisters were. “This is the weirdest mission to be without the others.” Remarked Kamoku. “Yeah, I have to agree on that. So, how come Tate let us go on this mission?” asked Evan. Emily smirked as she said, “’Cause I didn’t ask him.” Kamoku and Evan looked at her in surprise, “What?” They both said. They looked at her with double takes before bursting out laughing, even Emily laughed with them. “Damn, he’s gonna kill you!” Kamoku said. Emily shrugged, “Screw the rules, we got a flying mouse to catch. And besides, I left him a note. Saying I was taking you boys out.” She remarked. Evan snickered, “Man, you’re evil Emily.” He said. “Takes one, to know one.” Emily commented. They reached to the abandoned building while looking up at it. “So, who’s ready for this?” Emily asked. “She’s in there, isn’t she?” Kamoku asked. “Oh yeah, why don’t you step in my liege? Time’s—a—wasting.” Emily said, emphasizing on the words. The trio stepped in where they came across a lot of things that looked unrealistic. There were people murdered and using their wax-coated corpses as they looked to be in agony. While looking at them; one of the statues come to life miraculously and gripped onto Emily’s arm as he shouted chaotically: “HELP ME!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE, PLEASE!!!” Emily screamed, she freed herself as she and the guys got away before they found a different chamber in the abandoned building. Emily and the boys found lots of photos. 

More rarely, newspaper and magazine articles, time lines, address book information or videos are added. For extra creepiness factor, a couple of half melted candles are strategically located at the base of the shrine. There might also be locks of hair, trash, or other mundane items stolen. She has been stealing numerous artworks connected to love. Since she has a known obsession with Kamoku as well as Evan and Minako. There's even of Ryker, Arlow, Minato and Anita! There was some others Emily encounters with. As they got closer, they saw murdered bodies in the next room--it was an appalling sight. There they could see Andrea is behind a back-lighted screen as a man's voice shouted, “PLEASE!!!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!!! I BEG OF YOU!!!” Nevertheless there was blood splattering against a wall and the guy lied there pleading but he dies of his wounds. Andrea appeared on sight, Emily’s stomach clenched. “It’s her!” gasped Kamoku. “I know, I know.” Evan said back. It was then Andrea did a strange dance in the room. She took hold of the waltz position where her left leg straightened as the right bend slightly as she pivoted gracefully, Andrea arched her body backwards and, the next thing Andrea did was that she spins around to the beat and makes flirty gestures. During the dances; she made herself look sexy yet mysterious with her back to the trio. But glanced back at them slyly and has a mischievous grin on her face while Emily, Kamoku, and Evan stare at her in horror. Andrea was striking; she was wearing provocative clothing. She begins to make ominous remarks that frightened Emily and the two boys so much that their faces were filled with terror. "Hello Emily…Boys….Wanna play with me?" She said. Kamoku shook her head, "No. I don't want to play your kind of games." He said. Andrea looked annoyed, "Really? You're such a kill joy." she complained and smiled wickedly. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM US!!!!" Evan cried. All three of them ran away but Andrea chases after them. She sent the monsters after them! The monsters cornered them however Emily found a door and tricked the creatures to follow. She lured them into thinking that they were in there and locked the door on them before nailing it shut multiple times. The bodies were piling up as Emily and the boys were confident to take down any other enemy until someone covered Kamoku’s eyes with both hands. "Guess Who?" A voice purred. "Mora?" asked Kamoku. When the hands come off, he was horrified to see her there and exclaimed, "MORA!?" He then let out a cry of hysteria, "Aaugghahahaha!" Emily wrestled with Mora to get her away from him but Andrea used her telekinesis to knock out all three and smiled darkly at their downfall. Moments later; Emily, Kamoku and Evan woke up to see Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly standing over them. Then, the three of them felt their arms were bound by a telekinetic force around their wrists as well as suspended up in the air. “What is this? What are you doing to us?” Emily demanded in a scared tone. Andrea explains to the three captives: “You will see the purpose of Mother’s revenge…You will know fear, pain and agony….And writhe like scum you are!!!” Andrea screamed, her powers caused the trio to react to psychic torment and they were shouting in agony as well as begging for mercy. During this process, Andrea and Mora are successful for breaking the minds of Emily, Kamoku and Evan. Thus, they are taking control. Emily, Kamoku and Evan's minds are assaulted with painful, horrifying visions, and their will broken. Emily, Kamoku, and Evan were screaming from the painful memories inside their heads. Andrea giggled at their suffering while she watched them writhed. “It’s quite like your life almost Emily, since what you are and what your father did to you. It’s not every day we get to meet a new member of the family.” Remarked Andrea, “We are alike and I feel that even if we are not related, we know each other so well.” Emily was pissed as she and the other two boys managed to get back to the ground. Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly looked back with horror across their faces. “YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME!!!!” Emily screamed hysterically. Andrea and Mora are shocked of what they were seeing before them as well as Kamoku and his friends. Sylvia, Zizi, Aricia, and Pua are in total shock and dreaded of this situation. Emily’s eyes looked while, her hair was untidy. Her hands balled into fists. "You are so cold! You are heartless! You don't know me. The only way you know how to treat people is by treating them like monsters! Well, you're the monster! And that is gonna stop! You get it? You get what I'm saying? Hmm?" She said. Mora could see some sort of fiery rage from inside of Emily, she then said: “We’re sorry…I’m sorry…” She sounded like she meant it! Emily laughed at her, “You?! Sorry?” She then snarled out, “You think you can mess with my life?! Well, I got news for you, bitches! I'm coming for you all. And then I'm coming for Abigail! And you can pass that along! TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!!” Her powers were out of control! In another memory; the paging system squawk box fizzled and made some noises, and then it became clear. Emily was horrified as she could hear familiar voices that made her eyes widened in terror. Andrea and Mora were chanting this song that scared everyone else upon hearing the words from the intercom: “You can run, and you can hide. But like it or not, she’ll be at your side. Emily Grynte is full of dread, for Andrea and her family is putting evil thoughts in her head. Emily promises to protect her friends from danger – but will she protect them? I’m your follower in the light, yet I’m invisible in the night. She creeps, she crawls, and she’s in your walls. So close your eyes and count to ten, better hope you don’t wake up again. Only the brave will survive!” The intercom was shut off and things were normal…For now, at least. It was almost like a curse was placed upon the agency of Dream State because all of them that were allies to Emily were beginning to experience strange, eerie things happen to them: Kevin was shocked to see his mother and a smile appeared on his stoic façade. “Mom.” He said in a choked up tone. He walked over and he embraced his mother, “I missed you.” Kevin said. His mother spoke up, “Where are you sisters?” Kevin looked up and walked backwards while he asked, “Don’t you want to see Dad?” Kevin’s mother spoke in a mantra as she begins to grow dark: “Bring me your sisters…Bring me your sisters…I want to see your sisters….” Over and over again. Kevin realized something wasn’t right, “You’re not my mother aren’t you?” The woman who was supposed to be Kevin’s mother growled out a response, “I am your mother.” Kevin ran off but he bumped into his friends who seemed worried about him. 

Before he try to explain, something happened. Kevin and his friends—Georgette, Dawson, Taylor and Jennifer—could hear a howling sound that rumbled throughout the agency’s building. It sounded like an eagle or a wolf. The howl seemed to follow Kevin and his gang as they ran! During all this craziness; Kirsten saw her former master, Yasuo Ohama, and tears streamed down her face. She walked to him as she embraced him! “I miss you so much Master Ohama.” Kirsten whispered. Her head resting on his shoulder, she then heard Ohama said: “Kirsten, my sweet. I’m so happy to see you.” That’s when Kirsten realizes something was wrong, something was amiss. She took a step back from him. “Kirsten, what’s the matter?” Yasuo asked. “You can’t be here; you were imprisoned and murdered by another inmate. How are you here?” Kirsten noted. Master Ohama was quiet, Kirsten felt panic inside rising and she exclaimed: “ANSWER ME!” Then, a falsetto-baritone voice spoke from ‘Yasuo Ohama’, “You’re such a dumb girl…Master Ohama is a murderous bastard and everyone knows it. And you still care about him.” Kirsten begins to whimper into sobs, “No…No!” Kirsten runs in terror and was in the corner. But she wasn’t the only one: Jakov could see a familiar figure in the reflection and turns to see his former master name Franco Larosa. Jakov was relieved however he was overcome with dread! Franco Larosa couldn’t be here, he was dead—He was burnt alive by Yasuo Ohama who betrayed him out of cold blood. “Jakov, it’s me. Master Larosa.” Franco stated. Jakov shook his head, “No.” He said. Franco seized him, “C’mere my boy.” He leered. “Get your hands off me!” Jakov exclaimed, pushing this so-called imposter that pretends to be Franco Larosa. He turns and runs when the imposter yelled in a falsetto-demonic tone: “You dare leave me to die?! Come back here, I’LL BURN WITHOUT YOU!!!!” Jakov dared not to turn around as he kept running his life. While taking a walk; Emmett stopped for a moment to see the figure clearly, it was his former master Inugami Mikado and Emmett was about to greet him when he realize that Inugami couldn’t be here. He had been deceased for awhile and Emmett could see him looking deranged and warped! Something was wrong, it didn’t feel right. In the darkest night; Cecelia was trying to sleep but she kept hearing footsteps approaching her. She looked over at her bed where she saw a dark shadowy figure approach at her bed. Cecelia was scared so she ducked under her covers. She peeked out when she saw a woman was in a white dress in an old-fashioned style of skirt, usually full length and bell-shaped, and plenty of trimmings such as pearls, flowers, lace, poofy sleeves, a large waist ribbon, and a large veil. However; as the woman got closer her appearance changes: the skirt was tattered and bell-shaped, there was ripped of the trimmings such as blood covered pearls, wilted flowers, torn lace, ripped up sleeves, cut up waist ribbon, and the veil became dirtied. Just then, the woman raised her hands up that was covered in blood and lets out a wail as she lunges at her. There was a scream as Theo and the others ran, they found Cecelia crying as she said over and over again: “Don’t let them in, don’t let them in!!!!” The next day; Cecelia gathers up the sheets, while she panics, with funny faces and arm movements, about having to clean the bed. For the time being; Dorothy, her siblings, and Gladys were being tortured by nightmares of their worst fears. They would wake up and find bloody scratch marks on their backs, arms and wrists! Words such as ‘Always watching’ and ‘Never leave me’ were all over the walls in blood-red. But Dorothy, her brother, her sister and Gladys were hearing noises of doors opening or creaks from above. One word would forever haunt them: “I see you, I know who you are.” Written in permanent marker, color was crimson. Also; Derek looked out the window where he saw four young girls dancing outside. Meanwhile; Noreen witnessed a young girl babbling to herself and try to talk to her so she got Mankuri to come help. By the time they got there, that little girl was gone. They search for her but they didn’t found her however they are shocked to find Pancho, Destin, Rinah, and Hiromi slaughtered in cold blood. Mankuri couldn’t believe it, Noreen gasped sharply while uttering out sobs when a voice exclaimed: “You guys, how did you guys did all this?” Mankuri and Noreen whirled around to find that Pancho, Destin, Rinah, and Hiromi were alive and OK. The two of them slowly turned back to see mutilated body parts of animals and the words written in blood which read: “Will you? Won’t you? Join in the game of death?” Around the next morning; Mannix was working as Jet was playing, when Mannix looked up and nearly jumped. He thought he saw a woman looming over Jet who was oblivious by her presence. At that night; Andrea was watching Aalisha sleep while Mora observed Cordelia in her slumber. And Kitty & Polly stared at Eleri while she slept. They don’t realize that they are being observed by each of Takeshi, Asano, Rishley, and Ken who are uneasy by the creepy nature of these girls. There are people who suffered from Abigail and her daughters: The first was Murasaki who nearly choked and struggled to swallow but he did. The second--Taron overslept after he couldn’t sleep from a nightmare he had about a woman sitting by the river. The third was Ronda which she stayed in her room, earlier she saw a group of girls staring at her before letting out a howl-like wail. There are others who experienced with dark and madness: Erika accidentally cut herself; she had been distracted by a woman and four girls sitting by the lake as they were singing softly and sadly. Kojiro was nearly stabbed after four girls try to kill him. Kouhai was running as he almost tripped over a bucket but he kept sprinting from a woman with her face covered in a veil, brandishing a knife in her hand. Hesper tumbled over something; she looked over and saw a horse in bloody pieces. She screamed in terror. Syaro was drunk and falling asleep however she saw something in the mirror. A girl waved at her before taking her own head off! Syaro let out a yelp, she managed to look back and saw just herself—her own reflection. Yuunagi has stitches in his neck from a flesh wound of a crazy lady that attack him while defenseless. And Kanda nearly became suicidal but he snaps out of it. In the interim; Dennis had a nightmare about himself pierced while organs are taken out of his corpse and being harvested. But he wasn’t the only one: Sean dreamt of being burnt alive and an ear to ear carved into his mouth. Lindsay had a nightmare where she was drowning and couldn’t get to the surface for air. Darren has a bad dream as well, which was him being tied up and burnt alive. Kenneth dreamt he was strangled to death. Chana has a nightmare where she was stabbed in the heart and her organs were being removed. Martel dreamt his left eye being gouged out through a stab wound. And John had a nightmare where his head was severed. Sturla was trembling, he felt his heart racing: Megan and her friends saw through the windows as they saw four girls on the swing set. Fingers through their untidy, long hair that reached their waists. They were grooming their tresses while wailing and howling. The four girls noticed Megan and the boys, locking eyes as they then let out a wail before disappearing. But it gets inferior from there and things get disturbing: Minato was rowing a boat to go across the river where he saw a force of wind crushing the trees. He looked around as he saw a girl swimming in the water; she was carrying what looks like to be a bundle so out of kindness Minato rowed over to help the girl, “Miss? Do you need any help?” He asked. The girl smiled, “Why yes, thank you!” She crooned in delight. She climbed into the boat, much to Minato’s surprise. The girl swept the wet hair out of her hair. She try to seduce him however Minato moved away and the girl was disappointed so she lean against his back, she then put a hand in between her thighs and moaned softly. Anita was using the bathroom when she heard someone opening and closing the doors. She peeked into the stalls where she found no one, Anita called out: “Hello? Is someone there?” The lights flickered out and the room in was dark, Anita backed away to the stalls when she felt a hand around her throat. A sultry voice said, “I am here.” Anita felt someone trying to drag her into the stalls. Anita struggled but she saw a glimpse of a girl with a pale face, red skirt, and a white top with dark hair. She thought she heard the girl moaning to herself so Anita managed to escape. For the moment; Menom and Jacey were talking and strolling like friends do when they saw monsters attacking people, biting their heads off and blood spraying everywhere. Menom and Jacey were scared, they looked around where they saw a girl sitting there, watching this and she was fidgeting around in her seat on the rock, one hand tucked and pushed down there bellow. Her mouth was ajar while she moaned softly as well as licking her lips. “What the hell is she doing?” Jacey asked. Menom’s eyes widened, he grabbed her hand and they ran away. In the afternoon; Kelly was approached by a girl in a hood and asked, “Do you think I’m pretty?” Kelly look at the girl, her top half of her face was covered. “Yes…?” Kelly said. The girl removed her hood as her eyes glowed! “Am I really?” She asked. Kelly felt a brightness of the glow. “You are above average.” She said but she was attacked by the girl who whimpers and inched the blades close to Kelly. But Kelly escaped from the maniacal girl, fearing for her life! The girl exclaimed loudly: “WHY?!” Temporarily; Arlow noticed a girl waltzing there late at night, he thought this girl was high or maybe even drunk so Arlow steered clear of her but noticed the girl was following him. To his horror, she chased him and Arlow ran away. He noticed a whimper-like sound that came from the girl however he did not want to turn around. After much sprinting; Arlow lost sight of the girl and called it a night! In the intervening time; Ryker saw a girl by the river, her back was to him and Ryker saw she was weaving some flowers. He approached her though she whimpers softly. Ryker peered at her, he gasped when he saw her hand stroking around her thighs…The girl looked up, her mouth splattered of blood where her mouth curled and puckered while moaning softly. Ryker almost puked, he gulped and the girl stood up and put her arms around Ryker. Ryker was too scared to do anything, the girl rested her head on his shoulders. Her small arms around him, “Come on, you know you want it.” She whispered. “Who are you?” Ryker asked, in a demanding tone and staring at the girl. “I’m not all there, my dear. I don’t know why but there’s something wrong with me.” The girl said, she begins to whimper and sob. She furiously clawed at Ryker, who pushed her and ran as the girl wailed: “WHY?!” Temporarily; Emily begins to have visions of Andrea and her sisters: In the center of the room; the four sisters bearing aloft a writhing and screaming figure of a man. The four sisters have their mouths close to their victim to devour his flesh and consumed his blood. Below in the basement where one man fell to the floor and covered his ears. A second guy tries to escape by concealing himself and a third guy was oblivious by the screams above. The next vision Emily saw Abigail was wearing a garland of flowers, surrounded by her four daughters in a moonlit barren landscape. Abigail’s flowery garland turned into withered flowers and oak leaves. Her dress became a scaly-designed outfit, claw resembling gloves that were long enough to reach her elbows and a cloak that looked like wired yet featherless wings. Kitty was holding an infant that resembled a Wendigo. Another Wendigo baby who was dead, while covered in plastic and cloth. The third visions shows Mora’s delicate face struggling while grasping onto an over-sized man’s muscular fist. Andrea, in the meantime, beheads the man as spurts of blood were flying. Emily heaves and felt shaken from the carnage! She heard Andrea call her name; it was as if she was aware of Emily ‘watching’. Then; that insane, wicked girl recites one thing that gives her chills: “If it’s in a name or in a vision, you can’t get rid of Mother’s retribution.” Emily woke up, scared, but saw something in her vision. She could see Lily was writing out about a place so she can remember while Emily could see a message there was written but it wasn’t Andrea—It was from Mora! The message read: “PROTECT PEYTON AND EVAN!!!” There was strange things happened where Peyton was cleaning the windows but while he was doing this, he could see in the reflection of Mora with her eyes bore into Peyton. Peyton gasped, he turned away and saw there was no one there. In the meantime; Evan was looking through photos of him and his sister, where he was anxious about her when he came across a piece of a broken glass of a mirror. He looks at it when he nearly jumped to see Mora in the reflection. Evan turned around and saw someone who left behind so he finds a picture where Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly are smiling with Moya, who was smiling. Evan’s eyes bulged in terror as he nearly crumpled it but saw a message on the back of the picture that read: “It’s OK, my darling Evan. Your dearest sister is safe, we never even hurt her.” One day; Emily, Lily, Kamoku, Peyton, and Evan discovered Andrea and the sisters lead them into a huge screen room with cryptic messages where they say ‘protect’, ‘keep safe’, and other necessities. That’s when they came across an abandoned cinema where Emily, Lily, Kamoku, Peyton, and Evan looked up at the screen to the Moneta where the memories of Peyton and Evan being tortured while bound and gagged being played out over and over again. Emily and Kamoku both let out a sharp gasped, Peyton quivered in fear and Evan gritted his teeth. “See? There! That’s it! THAT’S IT!!! Lily exclaimed, she let out a feverish scream, her arms flailing and she couldn’t get the images out of her head. Emily try to calm Lily down when she listened to a dark, monotone voice: “Emmy! Kam! Teddy Bear! Tiger Blood!” Emily, Kamoku, Peyton, and Evan are shocked to recognize that voice—Andrea! Once Lily calmed down and the screen darkened where Lily gasped and fainted. Emily and the boys escorted her back to Dream State Agency! While she was on patrol for awhile around arched windows and glass blocks all around in the buildings; Jade heard a voice taunting her, “So ‘Princess’, how does it feel to be promoted? Hmm? By the all powerful Edom Hiroki? Can’t say I blame you since they favorite you.” Jade whirled around constantly, she was frantic and scared. “Now, now, Princess—No need to be afraid, I just want your skinny, little ass safe and away from bastard like Edom.” The young creepy and ethereal voice echoed towards Jade. “What are you?” Jade ask in a demanding tone. She heard a psychotic giggle. “But you should be protected by Emily Grynte, she can turn the world with her smile and her mind!” At the same time; Emily rushed into the room and was shocked to find Lily in a fetal position, she helped her up and comforted the distressed girl who was in a maniacal state. “DON’T LET THEM IN!!! DON’T LET THEM IN!!! DON’T LET THEM IN!!!!” Lily exclaimed, she then muttered to herself over and over again: “Looking at my little boots, looking at my little boots…” Soon; Lily was having panic attacks and ranting to herself incoherently: “Don’t let thy enemy in, Edom is evil! Michael Tanaka is evil! Wendigos are a threat; beware for enemies are hard to get in and out!” She also sits on a chair, on the left side with her knees up to her chest. She was crying, breathing heavily and whimpering. Emily and the others were scared yet worried for poor Lily and her inconsistent behavior! Hours later which seemed like weeks or days; Lily’s behavior got worse, she became more erratic and overwrought with emotions. That’s when Lily became deranged a bundle of nerves. She begins to weave a garland of flowers, blabbed on about how Edom Hiroki is a cruel man and should be put to death. The things Lily said were shocking: “There are different ways to kill this bastard, we shall chop off his legs and throw his body into the ocean, and let him drown! No, one chop to this throat could do it! No, I got it! Plastic wrapping around his aloof face!!!! Nada, nail his friggin’ coffin and bur him alive for all I care! Kill him in cold blood like what he did, body mutilated and sealed in meat package….it’s just like what Abby and her daughters suggested. We shall put a highly toxic chemical compound in Edom’s beverage. Slitting his throat open and make his tongue sticks out his jugular vein. Put his head in the fridge, leave Edom’s remains under a bridge. They will be washed ashore, or let his body be tangled in a vehicle’s wheels and dragged, maybe leave him alive while hitting him behind on the back with a sack full of doorknobs. Or sliced the ‘virus’ from spreading, no perhaps stomp on his corpse! Maybe beat him to death with ice picks, bare fists and heavy sticks! Or use brass-knuckles to his head. Sakiware should suffer too; he should be punched in the chest and stomach so hard while letting out his last breath. He should be decapitated, cut his fingers off so he won’t be identified! No, no, no! I got it; we shall destroy his body further of his worthless corpse and be unrecognizable! He’ll be polluted in trash, shot or blown away! The whole murder doesn’t sound too far-fetched.” Lily quivered in fear, Emily was shocked and marched over as she demanded: “Lily, what the hell are you saying?!” Lily was so startled that she whirled around, “Abigail wanted me to say that!” She protested. Emily was infuriated, “Do you think saying those things are funny?” She asked in a loud tone that sounded angry. Lily then got up and pulled out a contraption, Emily struggled to grab it while she commanded: “Oh no…No….Give it to me!!!!” Lily lets out a growl, shoving her away and she screamed: “DO YOU ALL WANT TO DIE?!” She then said in a calm tone, “I’m trying to save you all from the Carroll Family’s living hell.” Lily runs away while Emily watches her go. While lying in bed, Emily could see through her clairvoyant psyche of her friends being tormented by Andrea and her sisters. She wished people could look into her psyche, they would be petrified by how Andrea, her sisters, and their mother Abigail are the ones that are torturing everyone psychologically. The Carroll family has a major effect on their lives, knowing all their pasts and mostly people who suffer from the mental trauma. That trauma tends not to leave traces without burning bridges! The Carroll Family witnessed people with money and countless other problems. If people could see within Andrea and the sisters, they could see they are not well. She then had a vision in her head: “Do you think you can fix me? Fix yourself in this regret? Why fear me when I’m referred to as a freak? You have control of this world. Not any other fantasies, not your friends, your family or anyone else! You try to numb the madness, masks the hurt of your past and the guilt that you couldn’t save your twelve friends.” Emily try to cover her ears but Abigail tortures her further in her thoughts: “I have discovered everyone, you all try to hide the sins and the terrible regrets but I pull the bloodied skeletons from the dark, dark closets and control your greatest fears. When it’s all said and done, you will all be lead onto admit to your fears! You, the Seven Nation Army, and 21 Guns Navy are the addictions for my daughters. We are delightfully gained by your presence. The feeling cannot subsidize, nor replaced or maintained for long but you all will make us yearning more. We’ll be so addicted, better than doping on drugs. We can manipulate as well as objectified. Building up the tolerance, we need you and to satisfy our cravings of higher does from fears increasing. You can’t threaten us, we need you—every single soldier from 21 Guns and Seven Nation Army. The denial cannot control people, Seven Twenty One has caused addictive as well as catastrophic fury but no matter what society does to us; we keep on denying the fear to hide them from reality and we have you all in the palm of our hands, you suppress dissent and all your hopes & dreams shattered, causing all humanity of people to be paralyze and doing what they don’t want to do and it keeps them fettered.” Emily gritted her teeth in anguish, Abigail giggled: “Oh, I’m talking too much. Hope you keep this interesting. Pleasant dreams, Emmy.” She said tauntingly. Emily begins to notice Ryker looking around towards a dark area that seemed to horrify him. “What is it?” asked Emily. “You can’t get rid of Abigail Carroll’s retribution.” Ryker said. He was knocked down, Emily and the others were confused when Ryker try to get up but were brought down and he felt something pinning him. “Oh no, oh no…Help me, Emily! EMILY!!! HELP ME!!!!” Ryker yelled, he was being pulled telekinetically as everyone is shocked. But Emily is more devastated as she runs over to him in a panic. Ryker managed to stand up but felt something beaten him without any physical contact. Emily helps him up and hold him in her arms when the objects begins to tremble as Emily and all her allies look around in shock. “What do you want?” Emily asked, the objects continue to vibrate and shake until she became irritated as she exclaims: “WHAT DO YOU WANT, ABIGAIL?!” The objects stopped moving, and then she heard a quieted howl-like wail! Just then; Emily could see Kamoku's death in the first of the hallucinations: He commits suicide because he didn’t want to put his friends and family in danger so he thought it was better if he killed himself off. Onorato tries to tell him to stop and that he’s out of his mind. Minako also tries ripping his weapon out of his hand and tries to get Evan and Tsubaki to help her. Evan grabs the arm that’s holding his sword and hold his arm in place, Tsubaki tries to pry the sword out of Kamoku’s hands. Peyton cries and tries to talk sense into him. Jade goes onto Peyton’s side and chooses to try to help talk some sense into him. She also could see in the hallucination of Minako's death: Edom slaughtered her. He said he had something to help Kamoku and had a surprise for him, of course he gave off a few hints which Minako took, but didn’t know she was going to be killed, so Edom stabbed Minako in the back and through the chest to her heart, by the time the squad got there Edom was still there, along with deceased Minako, lying on the ground bleeding. Kamoku shouts “YOU BASTARD!!!!!! I’LL KILL YOU DIE!” And tries to kill Edom for hurting his family with his sword but can’t go through with it. Peyton cries while lying next to Minako’s body. Evan picks up Minako’s body and tries to listen to her chest and he sheds five tears only fall knowing she died and carries her. Tsubaki tells Kamoku to get a grip and those deaths happen all the time. Onorato comforts Kamoku because he knows it’s hard, Onorato actually starts crying over Minako with him. Jade cries and wishes she got along with her in the beginning. Emily could see Jade's death in this hallucination as well. Jade's sister was forced to kill her and couldn’t do it, so Jade became willing to die or do anything she could to make her older sister proud of her. “Do it. If it’s what makes you happy big sis. I want you to be proud of me, that’s all.” She said standing still waiting while her sister killed her and cried. Kamoku cries feeling sorry for Jade and her older sister who he tries to comfort as well. Onorato doesn’t think he cares but he cries for some reason. Peyton holds Jade in his arms and hugs her and sobs his eyes out because his comrade died. Minako joins in with Peyton and they sob and hug Jade. Evan feels sorry for Jade's sister, and goes to comfort her since she was forced and said he knew what it was like having a little sister and had one he didn’t want to let go either. And Tsubaki silently cries. He rushed into a battle to save his little sister Moya, but him and his sister are both killed by Edom. Kamoku sobs wishing they had been nicer to each other then they had been. Peyton sobs and hugs Evan. Minako tries to calm everyone down while sobbing herself eventually hugging Evan and sobbing into his chest with Peyton. Jade tries to keep it together until seeing everyone down and cries but hugs Minako, Peyton, and the lifeless body of Evan at the same time as they cry. Onorato cries and says he should’ve done something about it. Tsubaki feels like an irresponsible comrade and that along with Onorato cries and felt like he could’ve done something to prevent Evan’s death. Tears streamed down her face as Emily could see more of the hallucinations of more deaths, like Peyton's death hallucination: The enemy grabbed him by the neck and tried choking him to death and stabbed him with his sword until Peyton finally gave out, “A-At least, I-I can, go visit my sister…” He said and died. Kamoku sobs and holds Peyton in his arms and says he’s sorry he wishes he would’ve done something. Onorato stares in disbelief actually feeling like Peyton was his friend and comrade and cries. Minako rubs Peyton’s hair and says she’s sorry and cries. Jade puts an arm around Peyton and sobs into her hand. Evan cries beside Kamoku and says he should’ve been doing something to prevent his death. Tsubaki cries because he had such faith in Peyton and he didn’t even try to stop it. There was Onorato's death hallucination; Kamoku sobs and hold on to Onorato and says “You’re gonna make it Onorato! Please hold on! Onorato!” And tries to make him speak to know he’s not dead. Minako weeps and hugs Onorato. She says she’s sorry and that she could’ve done something anything but she didn’t and sobs. Jade feels bad and cries with Minako & Kamoku and puts an arm around Onorato. Peyton sobs and hugs Onorato and says he’s a terrible friend and comrade for not saving him. Evan lets out two teardrops fall and tries to pull himself together and not sob, but it’s hard. Tsubaki cries a bit because he actually grew kind of fond of Onorato. She saw Tsubaki's death: He was defending Minako and her friends and was killed by the time they actually got there he was dead. Onorato cries because he thought he was one of the first humans to have faith in him. Kamoku says he’s sorry and that he should’ve given Tsubaki more respect than he had in the past during their first meetings. Minako sobs and wishes nothing was real. Jade does the same as Minako and says, “Rest in peace, Tsubaki Sanjuro, our friend…” and sobs. Evan says, “He was an excellent superior, we could learn a few things from him.” Peyton sobs and hugs Tsuabki's corpse. Kamoku and his friends were horrified by this as they could feel the fears and sobs uttering out, Emily was trying not to cry and she whispers: “No, I promised I’d protect them all…” The last straw came when Emily saw a hallucination of her twelve friends, who called out to her to get out and save herself before they got shot at. This caused Emily to break down, she begins to cry. She let out a guttural sob, saying the names of her friends. Everyone stares at Emily, feeling bad for her. Just then, there was giggling coming from Abigail and her daughters. This made Kamoku and Ryker upset, everyone else was shocked by the cruelty of their actions. In her emotional state; Emily recalls the visions she saw in her head, including the song that Andrea and Mora sang: “You can run, and you can hide. But like it or not, she’ll be at your side. Emily Grynte is full of dread, for Andrea and her family is putting evil thoughts in her head. Emily promises to protect her friends from danger – but will she protect them? I’m your follower in the light, yet I’m invisible in the night. She creeps, she crawls, and she’s in your walls. So close your eyes and count to ten, better hope you don’t wake up again. Only the brave will survive…” Emily knew that Andrea is trying to use fear against her and everyone else no matter who they hurt! Slowly, she rose up and wiped her tears away. “You are nothing.” Emily said softly. Abigail looked shocked and uses her powers, Andrea begins to stress as well as her sisters. Despite her fears, Emily suppressed them and kept on a brave face but she kept crying a little. Seven Nation Army and 21 Guns Navy looked around in concern. “You're nothing!” exclaimed Emily. Abigail’s powers shook the room, she was clawing at her own hair and growled like an animal. Emily bit her lips, more tears are falling on her face. “These are my friends!” shouted Emily. Ryker, Kamoku, and the others watch in pure amazement. “You’re trespassing amongst my friends!” She continued. Abigail moaned, Andrea and her sisters begin scratching furiously at their arms, like they had a terrible itch. They scratch and scratch at their skin until there was blood oozing out. Emily gritted her teeth, kept her mouth close. The others watch in terror. “If you touch my friends again, I'll frigging kill you!” yelled Emily. Abigail let out a scream, her powers caused the room to have cracks all over the walls as Ryker was nearly blown off but Kamoku seized him along with Evan and Arlow help drag Ryker away back to the others. The girls were screaming in terror while the boys were gasping in horror, Emily could hear a voice in her mind shouting: “You want to protect them, well do it now!!!” Emily complies as she scream out at Abigail, Andrea, Mora, Kitty and Polly who were also screaming too! This scared the Carroll Family into submission, they were terrified. “How…How are you doing this?! You managed to break through from our greatest control with your perseverance….What are you?!” Abigail shouted. “I’M AGENT EMILY GRYNTE, YOU BITCH!!! YOU THINK YOU CAN SCREW WITH ME AND MY FRIENDS?! GETTING INSIDE OUR HEADS AND USING FEARS?! I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTERS!!! I WILL FIND YOU AGAIN ABIGAIL AND THIS TIME, I’LL LEAVE SHIT AND BLOOD ALL OVER YOU WHEN I’M THROUGH!!! WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO DESERVE THIS TORMENT, NOT EVEN ME OR ANYONE ELSE!!! YOU WILL NEVER BEAT ME, ABIGAIL! NOT YOU, NO ANDREA AND NOT ANY OF YOUR DAUGHTERS!!! I AM UNBREAKABLE!!!” Emily clarified in a shrieking tone. Abigail, Andrea, Mora, Kitty, and Polly stared at all of them before turning towards Emily as they let out a howl-like wail. Then, they begin to moan as it increased louder and louder before it sounded painfully and vanished away from everyone else. Emily panted; she just fell to the floor and crying out of exhaustion. She felt someone picked her up as Emily looked over and saw it was Sylvia. “Nice job, Em. You did it.” Sylvia said. Emily begins to cry, she put her arms around her friend. “I…I feel so relieved. God, I can’t believe I saw those hallucinations, they seemed so real…Oh my god, I don’t want any of you good people to die on me…I love you all so much…I would die if anyone else here did, it would be like what happen to my friends.” Emily confessed, “I…We were supposed to graduate, but the grad bash was ruined by the fact that some guy came in and shot everyone else…Killing twelve of my friends…I hate it, everybody dies…Not me, I can heal fast but everyone around me dies…All the good ones, and I don’t like death. It’s so scary…I do believe there is a Heaven, sure. But there’s also a Hell, this isn’t a joke. I had nightmares about it and I pray to the Man Upstairs I do not want to end up there. It’s worse than abuse, jail, concentration camps, and other unimaginable things…” Emily blubbered harder, she just couldn’t stop crying. Deep sadness filled her heart, like something was soaking inside emotionally. As if tears could stain the inside of her heart. Emily felt someone next to her; she could see who it was peering at her with a concern face. “Why didn’t you say anything? I mean, you didn’t need to hide this from us.” Minako said in a gentle voice. Emily managed to say while she calmed down, “You guys never went to school, look at you…You may have studies sure but graduating and having a normal life.” Minako laughed at that comment, “It doesn’t matter; no one has a normal life.” She assured Emily. “Yeah, but losing friends…The people you cared about….I would never wanted to lose anyone else again, the guilt I feel for not having to deal with that over and over again.” Emily said. “Don’t hate yourself for what happen, Em. What happen back there was not your fault, you did all you could. It’s just things kinds of things happen all the time.” Ryker stated. Emily looked at him and gently pulled away from Sylvia before looking at him and embracing her long time friend. After watching all that; Sturla was gasping for breath, “What was all that?” He demanded. “The terrors that Andrea had caused in the past. She feels bad but wants to move ahead, you see.” Michelle explained gently. 

Things got out of hand during a mission in the city when Hindel and the others got kidnapped by a fanatic religious cult, however Hindel was going to be tortured while the others are going to watch and they’ll be executed. Before it could happen; Minoto appeared. Then, four silhouettes appeared as it is Bonnie, Kynan, Ipsita and Kendan approached. “Pears we got here in the nick of time. What does that make us? Ah, yes. Big. Damn. Heroes. Ain’t we just?” Bonnie said as she and the other guys walked with her. “What do you think you’re doing here?” A cult follower demanded. “Saving our friend.” Bonnie clarified, she stood in front of Hindel—protecting her. “You can’t. This is our way to cleanse the world from this witch!” The cult follower protested. Bonnie pointed at Minoto above, “You see that guy up there? He’s going to cleanse your world if you don’t do what I say! I won’t kill you but if you people aren’t going to listen, I’ll make you listen. Please, cut her down.” She said. “She’s a witch!” The cult follower dissented. “Yeah, she’s our witch…So cut her the hell down…Now!” Bonnie demanded. The cult agrees, and Hindel is free. Later, Bonnie and the others are celebrating when Bonnie got a call that something happened however she chooses Kynan and Ipsita to come along as they head towards the city that looked normal. Just then; Bonnie, Kynan and Ipsita saw so many men burnt alive and flailing their arms like crazy. Bonnie couldn’t believe it, “My god…!” She gasped. Then, a voice pretending to let out pleasuring griping as if carnal over the violence: “Look at me, I'm burning.” Moaned Donata. Bonnie, Kynan and Ipsita were horrified to see the Hellions being burned alive. Donata emerged from the shadows as she grinned.  “Well, well, well. If it isn’t my Prince Charming. How you’ve been?” She greeted. “Donata…what’s going on?” Bonnie asked. Donata wasn’t listening as she begin to muse at Ipsita. “You know, I couldn’t believe it…You were a prince. When I was a girl, I dreamt of meeting a prince. I dreamed he would sweep me off my feet, make me a princess…My sisters made fun of me and I said, ‘When I do meet one, you will be my servants and be nice to me.’ Gosh! My sisters…” As soon she mentioned her sisters, she sobbed a little. Donata then explained that Clover told her about Ipsita being of royalty and instructed her to ask him to kiss her on the cheek. If he did, that would give Donata the signal of her letting out that ecstatic cry. Even the Sisterhood were in on it and that’s why Clover had contacted Dream State. Ipsita reencountered what happened: One of the Dollhouse Sisterhood girls’ voices cried: “Oh my god! She’s here, the Girl on Fire! She’s so pretty! What a gorgeous sight!” Ipsita stood there stunned, “Girl on Fire?” He uttered. His eyes widened with surprise, “She said ‘Girl on Fire’, isn’t that Donata--?” He started to ask however Donata’s back almost near his. She felt her breath caught in her throat, she trembled. Ipsita decides to see for himself of the Girl on Fire. When he turns around. At the same time; Donata turned as Ipsita did but the heel of her shoe broke and the sun hat float off her head. She covered her face however there was a voice in her mind say: “Open your eyes, don’t be scared.” Ipsita stood over Donata, “It’s all right, don’t be afraid.” He said gingerly. “I’m not afraid.” Donata said, still covering her eyes. “Then let me see your face.” Ipsita said. “Then you’ll be scared.” Donata said. “No, I won’t.” Ipsita replied. Donata uncovered her face slowly, she took Ipsita by the hand and put his palm against her cheek. Donata raised her head as she saw Ipsita, she felt the lub dub music against the drum that was her heart ringing in her ears. He could feel the softness of her skin, however she shivered. “Are you OK?” Ipsita asked. “No, I hardly get cold but I do have one request…Could you k—kiss my c—chee—cheek please?” Donata asked nervously. “Huh? What?” Ipsita asked. Donata batted her eyes and said, “Could you? Please?” Accepting her request; Ipsita leaned over and kissed Donata’s cheek, Donata closed her eyes. She took in his scent. It was a delicious scent—It was strong but wonderful! Licorice, nail polish remover, scented markers and pomegranate. It seemed strange of a mixture however Donata liked it. She wants to stay in this bubble of this aroma forever! Those lips against her delicate skin linger for a bit before they brushed away. Donata bite her lips and looked up at Ipsita, who stared at her. “How was it?” Ipsita asked. Donata stared at him, she slowly smiled as she put her hand to her cheek, “Perfect…absolutely perfect…YES!!!” Donata screamed. In the present, Ipsita stared at her and tried to reach for her but Donata dodged him. “Now burn you bastards!!!” She exclaimed. Just then, there was vines entrapped Bonnie, Kynan and Ipsita as the trio are nearly burnt from the flames! Donata laughs like crazy. Bonnie screamed. During this time; Kendan looks down and saw Chloe and the boys are about to be burn while Donata laughs. Angry at this sight, Kendan jumps down towards Donata and punched the ground. The ground shakes while freeing Bonnie, Kynan and Ipsita who fell over. Kendan was pissed, “So you were the one that pretended to be Kokona.” He said. Donata was terrified, she turned and ran but tripped and tumbled down as she hit her head. Subsequently, Donata woke up on a cold marble block as she saw her hands tied above her head and her feet were bound as she couldn't move her legs. “Well, lookie here! Somebody’s awake. How you feeling today Girl on Fire?” Kendan exclaimed. “Kendan…What’s going on? What the hell are you doing to me?” demanded Donata, struggling in her bounds. Kendan threw his hands up, “This is my interrogation. So, you were the one that played some sort of witchcraft, pretended to be Kokona.” He declared. “SO WHAT IF I DID—UURRFFMMMPH!” Donata started to say but Kendan put his hand over her mouth. “Uh uh, don’t scream or I’ll shut you up.” Kendan warned. Donata nodded, “Mmm hmm!” She said. Kendan removed his hand from her mouth and paced around her. “So, where did you get that? Was it your little spell you cast?” He interrogated. Donata shook her head, “No, somebody gave it to me! Honest!” She claimed. “Right, right. Like what happened to Bon Bon and those two guys.” Kendan retorted. Then, he held up a jar of black squishy worm bodies in there and pulled out  a piece of paper while reading it: “Leeching, the application of a living leech to the skin in order to initiate blood flow or deplete blood from a localized area of the body. Leeching was frequently practiced in to deplete the body of quantities of blood, in a manner similar to bloodletting. Leeching is resorted to only on occasion to restore blood flow to areas of damaged veins after an appendage has been reattached or a tissue grafted. Leeches used for bloodletting usually involved the medicinal leech. At each feeding a leech can ingest about 5 to 10 milligram of blood. Hmm, interesting.” He said. Donata grinned nervously, “You gonna hurt me with leeches?” She asked. “Oh don’t worry, it’s feeding time for these little ones…Oh wait, let’s start with one shall we?” Kendan said with a smile. He placed the leech right on her thigh. Donata felt the leech against her thigh, she could feel the suction teeth against her skin and felt a sense of intense pleasure come over her! Kendan stared at her in shock, Pele grinned in amazement as she felt her excitement building up. Her Fury form was phasing back and forth. She felt the fire causing the leech to burn, and then her ecstasy faded. “What…was that?” Kendan stipulated. “Heh, that’s our ecstasy drug…Leeches help us get hyped up…That’s how we get violent on the Abominations. Riveting isn’t it?” Donata said while giggling. Kendan stared at her, “Tell me something, why the hell do you care about Ipsita?” He asked. Donata sighed, “He…showed me something special…He was like showing me something beautiful from above in the clouds. He was trying to give me a message, how the world may be cruel but it’s beautiful.” She said. Donata turned to him, “What if I told you that somebody gave me the spell? She’s pretty crafty. And get this, she’s got an obsession for Ipsita.” She said. Kendan looked surprised, “Wait, she sounds familiar…Isn’t it…?” He asked. Donata nodded, “Yeah, it’s Veruca.” She confirmed. Kendan stared at her before a sinister smirk appeared on his face.


In the meantime; there is a large room with a nice view of the city. Veruca has a TV and various blown-up photos scattered about. She doesn't know why someone would rob her place. When asked what she does, Veruca says that she takes pictures at dance clubs and posts them on her website, where subscribers support her. Clover asks why anyone would pay for this, and Veruca says that the people at the dance clubs want fame. She also recognizes Ayuta from the papers. She runs over and grabs an old tabloid paper, which has a front page article about Ayuta saving Clover. Clover shoves Veruca and throws her into her sofa. She demands that Veruca take the case more seriously. Veruca insists that she is sorry about it. She complains that she thought she was the victim, and Clover and Ayuta turn to leave. As soon as their backs are turned, Veruca grabs a large camera, spins around, and begins taking pictures of Ayuta. Later; Clover and Ayuta finds out that Veruca was doing a sketchy job: The job was to wait for Clover’s friend, who is known as a tabloid sensation, Tigris to come out, then Veruca could stalk her and hopefully take some embarrassing photos. Veruca tailed Tigris and took some photos, and offered Veruca a ten percent cut. Tigris sued to stop her from selling the photos, though, and then Veruca didn't want to pay herself the $10,000 she was owed. Clover can't believe that the photos were worth $100,000, but Chrysander insists that this was the price. She doesn't know what the photos were of, though. In a while, Clover and Ayuta talk to Tigris, who won't disclose the content of her photos. She has her cat on her arm, and is in a luxury fancy hotel. Clover asks if Tigris knows that an officer was killed, and she says yes. Tigris reveals that her cat was with her in the park: She set her cat down for a moment to pick something up, and the cat slipped and fell. Veruca took a photo of that scene, which made Tigris look like she was dropping her cat. Tigris gives her cat to an assistant to give her vitamins while Tigris continues to talk to Ayuta and Clover. Ayuta pointedly asks if there have been other embarrassing photos of Tigris in the papers, and Tigris says that someone got a photo of her leaving her cat in her car for five minutes while she got a coffee. Clover points out that the photo led to questioning from animal services, and that this new photo might lead to another interrogation from them. Tigris agrees, saying that was why she wanted the photos. Veruca was willing to sell the photos back to Tigris, but she doesn't want to discuss it more. She asks if Ayuta is accusing her of something. Clover says that she and her former boyfriend have been hanging out with hard-core, dangerous people in town. Tigris says that Veruca wanted $400,000, which was less than her annual clothing budget, so the money wasn't a problem. She then says that she's exhausted, sits down and opens a magazine. In the magazine; Ayuta looked over her shoulder and saw Clover in different clothes: She is wearing a fine lace chemise top with ribbon detail and delicate stitching. It was worn under boned pale pink corset which features tiny sequins and a very delicate pattern. Clover is in a white ball gown with crinoline skirt, tulle with starburst trim and heat-set rhinestones over taffeta underskirt, bodice with pointed front, puff sleeves and full skirt that has swarovski crystal star patterns ironed on it. She wore a red satin dress that has a laced bodice, a skirt with a train, and a bow bustle that is lined in black. In the next pages has off-the-shoulder sleeves, flowered undersleeves and underskirt as well as velvet over sleeves. A flowing bias cut green silk gown, burgundy velvet dress that has a cowl neck as the sleeves are sheer and have clusters of three leaves on them. Clover is more outfits--silk satin with upper sleeves were silk chiffon and the lower sleeves were a kind of metallic brocade that looked silvery in some light and a creamier white in other light. The pattern was almost white on white small flowers. She wears a 3 piece dress of printed organza fully lined taffeta, separate organza polly blouse finished velvet binding, ruffles, lace & velvet ribbon edges, hook & eye front closure & green velvet cummerbund belt. There were more clothes of a green velvet gown that has a plunging neckline, layered  skirt with pleated waist & accented waist length sleeve cape, gold rope belt & beautiful hat with tassel. Sleeveless, silk velvet gown is embellished with glass teardrop beads and round, red faceted beads at the neckline and a profusion of ostrich feathers around the shoulders. Deep blue velvet robe with black fox trim. Burgundy velvet nightgown accented with velvet covered buttons that run the full length of the gown, wide lace trimmed collar & bell sleeves with layers of lace ruffle trim. And an off the shoulder gown w/fitted bodice, attached full length petticoat, lace flounce at hem &  black lace trim at neck, hem & edge of puffed sleeves. Ayuta is surprised and begins to question about Clover to himself of her true character.
