Everyone else had fled the Notre Dame, but I stayed behind. I had a bone to pick with my sister, Lily. It was the two of just us in the church, standing towards the end of the aisle nearby the atlar.
Diana: Lilith, stop this madness! What are you doing?!
(starts at 0:51, watch?v=kSZU-1…)
Lily: You know my words are true, don't you? Odd and Sissi are evil. You can't trust them.
Diana: But Odd's such a good employee! His friends are so nice!
Lily: Nice?! You think they're nice? One of his friends punched me in the face and kicked me down! Odd, Sissi, and their friends must be taken down! The Troublemakers are the true evil that roams in Paris.
The true evil? But...that can't be right...
Diana: Lily, earlier you said I couldn't trust Odd. Why did you say that?
Lily: Odd betrayed me. He left me behind to join his friends in trying to find Aelita. If he was really a good guy, he wouldn't have ditched work so much to help them.
Odd Della Robia, a guy who ditches work? No.. that can't be... He was always at Lily's when he needed to be there...
Diana: He is a good guy! And so is Sissi and the rest of their friends!
Lily: You really think they're good? Odd is a liar and a traitor. Sissi is cruel and vain. William is a is an unpredictable madman. I could say many bad things about Odd, Sissi, and all their friends.
Diana: Lily, what happened to you? Why do you hate Odd and his friends so much?
watch?v=5lmpY3…
Lily: I have many reasons. Odd betrayed me to join his friends in their lost cause. He said they were trying to find Aelita, but I don't even think they brought her home safely.
Diana: That's where you're wrong. Odd and his friends eventually found her. You know that pink-haired woman that wasn't afraid of you? That was Aelita Belpois,and she isn't scared of you because she was missing during the time you were arrested! And why were you arrested in the first place?! (she stops to catch her breath)
Lily: Sister, do you have any idea what happened to me? I was wrongly arrested for a crime I didn't commit. The police think I tried to kill Sissi but in reality, I was trying to protect her from Odd.
Diana: From Odd? But... but why?
Lily: Elizabeth didn't tell you what Odd did to her? He abducted and molested Sissi. That's how they ended up in this mess in the first place. (Diana gasps)
Diana: What?! No, that..that can't be true... He'd never do that!
Lily: Would I lie to you,sister?
I didn't know what was going on. Part of the time, it seemed like she was telling the truth, yet some of this information seemed outrageous or too evil to be last fact... It couldn't be true... It just couldn't be...
Diana: Sister, some of this seems hard to believe. What should I do?
Lily: I want you to fire Odd before he betrays you or does something else really bad to you. Then, I want you to meet me in an alley three blocks from Coco's Cafe tomorrow at two o'clock for a meeting on how to take down Odd and the rest of The Troublemakers. I'll be disguised so I'll look for you. If you don't want to be a disgrace to the Delmas family name, or be hated by me, mom and or dad, then you will join me. (she walks away) Oh, and don't tell anyone of my whereabouts, or you'll regret it. (she throws a smoke bomb)
Just like that, Lily threw a smoke bomb and disappeared, leaving me in disbelief.
Diana: Now what do I do?
( watch?v=ICIFp5…)
Lilith, a wrongly accused criminal? Odd, Sissi and their friends, evil? Lily, a criminal? I couldn't tell what was wrong and what was right. But Lily couldn't be evil. She was always sweet.
(the scene switches to Diana crying, Diana and Lily are shown at ten years old wearing the same blue dress and wearing their hair in ponytails, they each have their heart necklaces on in respective colors of purple and green)
Lily: You made my sister cry, how dare you! (she punches the bully and kicks him in the shin, knocking him out) It's ok, that guy is just a bully. You're a very nice girl, and you know it.
Diana: Thank you, sister! (they hug, she hears a knocking on the door, the flashback ends)
Officer Henry (voice-over): Open the door! (Diana sees the altar, she hides under it, being concealed by the white cloth on the table, she hears footsteps)
Female Officer (voice): There's no one here. She got away.
Officer Henry (voice): Nothing here but the bouquet of flowers, a garter and a dead body. No wait, three dead bodies. Francis, Mrs. Campbell, and Naomi N'guyen.
Female Officer (voice): Several more were injured or severely wounded. The hospitals are packed with victims.
Male Officer (voice): Bullet wounds... Definitely a sign that Lily was here.
Officer Henry (voice): We have some unconscious victims here. We better get them out of this place.
Eventually, the police officers left and my heart rate turned back to normal. Was this all a big mistake? Was this all a nightmare? Was Lily the good girl or the bad girl? Was I even being the good girl or the bad girl?
(she climbs out from underneath the table and looks at the area around her)
Diana: Lilith... What have you done? (a tear falls from her eyes)
