The Dark Side of the Angel Colette Pt1: A Long Walk to Remember...and Have Nightmares About

It was a wonderful afternoon; the sun was shining, the wind was absent, and the falling snow drifted idly about. Perfect for a walk… or so Genis thought. He had asked Colette if she would like to go, and she agreed with her usual smile and warmth. Genis wasn't sure if she was pretending or not; Colette had been acting rather strange as of late.

Everything seemed to be going well and Genis began to reason that his perception of a darker, violent Colette was a misunderstanding. Sometimes girls just get like that, he thought to himself. His sister sure enough did, what with the smacking and all. He swore he was losing brain cells. The two laughed and talked about this and that, but it was when Genis began talking about his sister that things went wrong.

"Yeah, Raine can be a bit of a pest sometimes," Genis laughed.

"Oh, hee hee, I remember my brother; he was like that too!" Colette chuckled, a sinister glint passing over her face.

"You had a brother?" asked a shocked Genis. "I never knew that!"

"Yes, well, that's because he died," replied Colette, who looked as if trying to restrain a laugh. "You never met him. His name was Charley."

"What happened?" shuddered Genis, noticing that Colette was smiling. "How did he die?"

"Oh, well daddy got us a puppy to share. We named him Luuka. But Charley always hogged Luuka; whenever I asked to see him, Charley would say 'No!'," explained Colette in a bemused tone.

Genis did not like where this was going.

"So one day Charley had an 'accident' and then I had Luuka all to myself!" smiled Colette with a sinister look. "See, I had been 'practicing' with my chakram and Charley got 'in the way' and KABLAM! went his head. But because I was the Chosen, no one punished me. Luuka died too, but that was later, anyway. Oh, by the way, when I said 'practicing' I meant 'purposefully aiming at my brother' and when I said 'in the way' I meant 'tripped and fell and then I starting attacking his head'. Hope I didn't confuse you there, Genis! Tee hee!"

Colette continued walking cheerfully as Genis gaped at her in horror.

"But didn't you just say that Luuka died too?" he stammered, not really knowing if he really wanted the answer.

"Oh yes. Not long after Charley 'accidentally' died," she nodded, twirling her hair on her finger. "He drowned…in lava…that I threw him in… 'accidentally'."

Genis began to back away slowly at this point. Colette turned and smiled as innocently as a kitten but with the glowering eyes of a demon.

"Did I also tell you that I had fifteen cousins? I only have one now and he's in a home for people whose minds have cracked and shattered like fragile little icicles. Anyway, the other fourteen died. Wanna know how?" she giggled.

"N-Not really," whimpered Genis, trying to escape her gaze.

"Well, one fell from a locked window," Colette went on despite Genis' clear un-interest on the subject. "The second got beheaded with a spatula, the third ate some bad apple jell I 'bought' for him, the fourth seemed to think is abdomen was a good place to put a sword, the fifth tripped and fell off a cliff, the sixth met up with a real nasty zombie in her closet, the seventh was trampled by a stampede of rabid penguins, the eighth fell into a bottomless pit full of broken glass and rusty needles, the ninth just got me angry so I beat him with a chair, the tenth was kicked in the head by a disgruntled old lady, the eleventh just had a heart attack at the age of four, the twelfth managed to get eaten by a Cactar and don't ask me how, the thirteenth got hit by a Rheaird, and the fourteenth was the one on the Rheaird and she crashed into a tree. Yep, tragic isn't it?"

Genis:OMGWTF?

"Hee, just kidding! When I said all that I meant 'I stabbed them all and threw them in lava with Luuka while CousinFifteen watched'!" she laughed heartily. "Oh! Wanna hear what happed to my mom?"

Genis took off running. No amount of earthly (or otherwise) force could make him stop. He couldn't sleep for a week. Raine smacked him for making up silly things when he tried to tell her. But this was only the beginning. Oh yes, Colette was just getting started…
