Thugs continued to disappear until there was only Stephanie, the leader, and five thugs left. Rachel and Edgar were laughing their asses off as Stephanie continued to bitch at some thugs because one of them managed to burn some of her hair. Ellen also heard and saw Stephanie fuming mad, and she started to laugh as well.

With the intruders

Another thug fell to the demise of evil unicorns with sawblade teeth in the more farther reigons of the boobytrap house. The leader saw that the burning inferno in the living room had ended, but there was some leftover petroleum jelly on one of the walls. Grinning stupidly (you see, he isn't a very smart leader), he smeared some of it on the table and couch. Then, taking a cigarette lighter, he set fire to it. He pushed it onto the floor and it started burning the entire room. "This should smoke those pests out!" He laughed.

With Edgar and Rachel

Their eyes widened as the living room burned and the screen soon fell into static. "We've gotta get out of here!" Rachel exclaimed. She pushed herself off of him and limped to the stairwell while Edgar was trying to send a message to his sister. Nothing but static. Edgar gave up on the radio and followed Rachel up the stairwell, but the exit was covered by flames. "Fuck!" She yelled. "I hoped I wouldn't have to do this..." She sighed and brought her red pendant closer to her neck. The string began to get wider, and the jewel now in the center of it. The necklace was now a choker. Edgar didn't see how that would help them though. She mumbled a few words and the flames came apart, the jewel shining a bright red and then there was enough room for them to run through.

Edgar didn't know what to say, his mind was now reeling with questions. But they had to wait, his sister was in some deep shit. They had to find Ellen and get out of here.

With Ellen and Pet

Ellen, with Pet on her shoulder, bolted right out of their little hiding place. It had burst into flames and nearly burned them. "There's one! After her!" She heard come from down the hall. Ellen had to find her brother, and quick! She ran the opposite direction and came to the second stairway, she could hear the heavy footsteps of the simpleminded thugs coming down the halls as she carefully walked down the stairs. A large flaming beam fell right above her, and a large worn out hole caught her foot. She tried to move, but her foot wouldn't budge.

"DUCK!" She heard a female voice say. For the first time in her life, the teenage female prankster obeyed and ducked, pet also coming down. Looking up, her dark eyes widened as large as they could go as the flaming beam flew directly at the thugs that stood at the top of the staircase. Looking down to the end, Rachel had her arm extended. Edgar held onto her side as she stood, making sure she didn't fall. Ellen ran downstairs next to her brother and the girl with strange power.

"H-How... How did you do that?" Ellen asked, not believing her eyes. Pet was finding it hard to see in all this smoke.

"Explain... later... let's get out of here..." She panted out, exhausted from all the physical work she's had to endure. Edgar and Ellen took Rachel by the shoulders and began to race to the front door. Everyone has seemed to have escaped except for the occasional victim here and there. Bolting out of the front door, past the half dead thugs and bitchy Stephanie.

All three of them sat in a back alley downtown, the large trash piles and dumpsters hiding their faces and appearances from people. All three teens were panting hard and covered in ashes, along with burns and cuts here and there. "I guess this means we're homeless now..." Ellen said, leaning against the wall. Edgar nodded and stroked Pet sadly. Rachel felt really horrible about this, after all, this was also partially her fault as well. "Hey... Rachel?" She heard Ellen say, she looked up to see Ellen brush herself off a bit, a small glimmer of hope in her eyes. "You can do more than just move stuff right? Maybe you could even bring our home back?" She suggested. Rachel shook her head no. "Why not?" Ellen was an impatient girl.

"I'm not exactly in best condition, and building an entire structure as large as your home could take a very long time with only me." She said, then coughed out a bit of soot lodged in her throat. The hope in Ellen's eyes died away fast. Rachel took notice of this and sighed. "But since half of this problem is my fault, I'll take responsibility. You guys are moving in with me." She said sternly. Before they could even say what they thought about that, Rachel limped off to her home. Edgar and Ellen looked at each other, uncertaincy written on their faces. Pet climbed onto Edgar's shoulder and the twin followed after Rachel.

It was dawn already, and the trio walked through an almost endless forest. Ellen groaned, she was so tired that she could sleep on a bed of needles. "Okay, here we are." Rachel said. The twins looked up from the ground and saw a really large house. It was a Victorian styled one, but it was painted dark colors. Windows had reddish curtains, porch didn't look all that welcoming, roof had some tiles missing, and he wood creaked when you stepped on it. It felt like home already. Rachel didn't even have to show them inside, they ran into the house excitedly, looking at all the scary furniture and ancient torture devices used as decor. She even had a coffin for a coffee table and there were maces, axes, and swords of every kind on the walls. Rachel walked inside and showed the two to their rooms.

Before Ellen shut the door to her new bedroom, she grabbed Rachel's arm and pulled her close. "You owe us an explanation in the morning." She said, then let go. Edgar watched from afar as Ellen and Rachel hissed at each other, he shook his head and shut the door.

At Knightleigh manor

Stephanie was grumbling to herself as she brushed all the tangles out of her red hair. "How dare they! Try to hurt this lovely head of hair and embarass me more! Those horrible twins will feel the wrath of Stephanie Knightleigh!" She screeched. Outside her door, the maids were starting to think she was going insane.
