Pokѐmon Journey III: Jezebel's Voyage
Chapter 21: Much Too Late
Jezebel's Point of View:
Through the night I raced on Acey's back toward the mountain called Mt. Pyre. She was speeding through the sky to where I had to hold on for dear life to stay on her as we bolted toward our destination, but I had no care so long as I arrived. I would endure anything that I needed to if it meant taking down my family for all the harm and destruction they've caused.
Mt. Pyre came into view quickly and I could already see the battle that was taking place on the mountain. Little Levy was using her two pokemon to face an entire army of Team Aqua grunts and admins, and even against my uncle and aunt. I could see nearly thirty or more pokemon against her two; it was wearing her down.
I had Acey dive to close in on the area before I felt something drag us down to the area before the summit, the exit that held the path to the summit was where Acey ended up landing and I held onto her tightly as I looked all around. "Be careful Acey, something's not right here."
"That would be just about right." I suddenly felt a thick veil of pain wash over my chest and I felt myself pulled off the body of my dragon. Acey cried out when she saw me, but an apparent pain seemed to wash over her as well. The pain kept her down to the ground, her head lowered while I was levitated over to a body that miraculously appeared out of a grave. There was no uniform on him- he seemed to be on neither side of the dispute- but his abilities to cause me pain told me otherwise. He was either part of one of the teams that just wasn't wearing their uniform at the time, or he was a third party that's been working in secret.
"W-wh-who are y-you…?"
"Well, aren't you nice enough to ask? I'm shocked I got such a kind greeting from the famous Jezebel Emery-Twain. Too bad I'm going to kill you." My eyes widened as he came out further into the light and I got a good look at his face. Shaggy looking red hair was on the top of his head and icy blue eyes glared at me. His face was not a hard one to miss.
"Razi…" I growled at the man.
"Thanks for taking such notice of me, Jezebel, but I do have to kill you, so let's just cut to the chase." His pokemon appeared behind him which apparently was using its ability on me to keep me in place. It was a ghost type from the purple coloring and the wispy ghost like woman look it had. It reminded me of a witch with red jewels hanging around its body and a hat on its head and a dress around it. Dark eyes looked at me with a hunger for something, and I was assuming it was my blood.
"Why are you doing this?" The sentence flew out of my mouth before I could stop it, but I let it slide since anything that could keep me alive longer to get out of his grip would be helpful.
"You really want to know that? I can't tell you all that much, but since you're going to die, I guess it's okay." He walked over to me and pulled out a knife, which he held in his hand, while he had his pokemon make me hand over my non-bandaged hand. He slit my palm open and I gasped at the pain and… the pleasure? I was petrified at my new found liking of the blood that spilled from my palm. Razi took my hand into his own and drank my blood from my palm. I felt his tongue slide over the cut and I felt every fiber of my being twitching at it from disgust. While I may have strangely liked the pain, I didn't exactly care for him.
He pulled back from my palm and my eyes widened as I saw the lower half of his face covered in blood red. It covered his lips like a blood red lipstick and rolled down his chin in beads. He grinned at me and I felt my body freeze as he slowly lifted his hands, also covered in my blood, and wrapped them around my neck.
"My sister wants me to kill you." He leaned in close and I felt his breath on my ear. "Violet tends to find people who she can make strong, and my sister doesn't want that to happen again. She wants me to end you before you can get to the point where you'll be too strong to beat, where you would become a changeling too."
"But… why? And why are you here at this specific location?"
"To prevent you from stopping Team Aqua from getting the red orb." He laughed and pulled back. "My sister and I planned from the beginning that we would provide incorrect information to Team Aqua and Team Magma to give them the wrong orbs so they couldn't control Groudon or Kyogre. We've been a part of their teams all along, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to strike. And the best part is…" he leaned in close again, this time to where his eyes were before my own, "none of them even suspect us." He chuckled. "You see, your uncles and aunts have been really messed up for a while now. I find it pretty hysterical that none of them realize what they're doing is wrong, not since that hypnosis was placed on them years ago."
"What?" He caught my attention in that moment more than ever before, hell, even in my life.
"Oh, but poor Jezebel had to suffer, from the hypnosis my sister's Pokemon used. We ruined the lives of five of your family members. Can you guess who?"
I knew of my uncles and aunts were all on that list, but the last one momentarily stumped me. My family wasn't very large, but…
No way…
"My… mother?"
Razi laughed. "I knew you'd figure it out, kid!" He ruffled my hair and stepped back for a moment. "But now I shouldn't give out any more information. Enjoy the afterlife!" He pulled out a knife and the world suddenly seemed to slow down as he threw it from over his head to plunge into my chest. I sucked in a breath as the fear and determination from the information he gave me hit me and I screamed and my hand flew out before me.
Razi gasped and stepped back. I had total control over my body again and I looked at every inch of it before I was frozen at my hands. They were claws, just like Blaze's. I looked up to the man I was just talking to and… his face was cut. My clawed hands, which had turned into three fingers compared to five, had sliced the side of his face right open. His eye was hit on the left side of his face and blood poured from the eye.
Razi suddenly felt the pain and cried out while I hit the ground and ran for my poor flygon that had been thrown to the side and kept prisoner. She was released from her hold as well and grabbed me before taking off into the air.
"Now, Acey! Fire blast!" My dragon launched an attack over at Razi as the small area was smothered in flames. Other than the fire blazing before us, everywhere else was filled with nothing but silence. It worried me greatly. I looked entirely around before I felt the air rush around behind me and I turned to the other side to see Razi. My eyes widened and I barely had time to gasp before something slammed into him and sent him flying back into the ground where I'd left him before.
I whipped my heard around to see Gwyn flying up in the form of Shocker while riding on the back of Ticky. Both of her fists were lit up with electrical power that she must have hit Razi with. I suddenly saw him in the gravel below where he phased back into the mountain and away from us.
"Jezebel!" I looked over at Gwyn for a moment as she looked at me with wide eyes with all the blood on my body and face. I suddenly was broken from the connection when I heard a scream and saw that Team Aqua was all gone other than a lone small one dangling from a cliff. My eyes widened when I saw who it was, the sleek black hair, only about nine…
"Go Acey!" My dragon dived for the little girl and we circled under her and I latched onto her body before she could fall. The sudden rush of wind threw off the bandanna she had on her hand and her tear filled eyes watched it take off just like her father, mother and brother had. She then suddenly turned to look up at me and her eyes nearly pushed themselves out of their sockets from how shocked she was to see me.
"Are you okay Nixie?" I gave her a light shake with my hand that wasn't broken. "Nix?"
"J-j-jezebel?" She shook her head. "No… Daddy said it was a lie. You're not Jezebel!"
"Would you stop that?" I glared down at the girl for a moment while she looked up at me in bewilderment. "Just because I don't act like I used to doesn't mean I'm not me, Nix." I sighed and pulled the girl close in my arms. "I am your cousin Nix. Ask me anything and I'll tell you what you want to know."
She looked at me before she began to sob again. "I… I wanna know… when we were little, what did you called me because you thought it was cool?"
Cool? A name that I called her… It took me only a moment to figure that out. Her name was Nixie. The definition of that very name was water sprite. I remember calling her that often when we were little because she was just as happy and perky like a fairy would be, and I told her that a sprite and a fairy were the same thing (of course, I'd only been eight at the time).
"My little water fairy." Her hands rose to her mouth to cover it just in time before she entirely broke down and cried in my arms.
"Jez! It is you!" I nodded to the girl and tapped Acey's head and she looked back at me. I pointed down at the ground and my dragon complied. We landed near where Levy now stood alone with her pokemon and the elderly couple on top of the mountain. The red orb was gone, along with Team Aqua.
"Shit!" I clenched the fist I had that wasn't totally wrecked. "They got away with the red orb…"
"Jez!" Gwyn was quick to rush up to me and check me over. "Oh my Lugia; are you all right?"
"I'm fine; this looks worse than it actually is." I pointed over at Levy. "Go help her first, she needs it." Gwyn's head turned to Levy and she nodded to me before hurrying over to the eleven year old and healing her. Levy was completely knocked out, as were her two pokemon that she had with her. Gwyn returned them to their pokeballs and pulled Levy into her arms.
"And now Team Aqua has the red orb. Oh man, Violet's going to be pissed…"
"Even more so when she finds out this was all Rose's doing." Gwyn's eyes widened when she looked over at me for saying that comment.
"What?" Gwyn's voice was stern all of a sudden and she looked quite pissed. "How?"
"I'll explain on the way, but we should head back to Lilycove now; there's nothing of interest of anyone here now with the orbs taken."
Gwyn didn't seem too happy about that, but she abided by what I said and we flew on our flying pokemon back to Lilycove hospital for us to be treated and looked at.

It'd been a few hours since Gwyn and I had arrived back at Lilycove and we'd all gotten properly helped there. My palm was stitched up and covered while Levy's wounds were also taken care of, along with her pokemon that nearly fought to death to keep that orb from being taken. Gwyn, after all this, called up Violet and explained everything that I had told her to the eldest champion. Violet was not pleased to say the least, and planned to gather everyone at the hospital so we could discuss plans.
I, on the other hand, had another mission to take care of. Now that I had Nixie believing me, I had to send her off with someone so she would be safe in case her father or the organization came looking for her. The only option was my father, and man… did I have a shit ton to explain to him.
I grabbed my pokenav from my pocket and typed in his number. I was uneasy as I waited for him to respond, but he picked it up with no problem.
"Jezebel!" My father greeted me happily on the other side of the line. "How are you doing, honey?"
"…Not so good Dad…"
"Honey?" His voice changed immediately. "What's going on?"
"This is more of a conversation for in person, but I'll give you the basic rundown. Our family is connected to Team Aqua and Team Magma." I paused as I thought over my words carefully. "Dad, Uncle Archie is the head of Team Aqua with Aunt Shelly as his second in command. The same is true in Team Magma with Uncle Maxie as its leader and Aunt Courtney as its second in command. Things are getting bad down here, Dad, and they even involved their children, but it's not entirely their fault because they were hypnotized by Rosalie Agustino's pokemon from over many years back, and Mom was hypnotized too! Its making them all do crazy and unexplainable things and the reason why they're all acting different-"
"Jez, slow down!" My father called out over the line and I instantly went silent. "You know?"
"I know what?"
"That our family is a part of these organizations?" My eyes widened.
"Wait, you know?"
"I've known for a while now. There were some things that happened when you were a lot younger and around the time your mother went crazy that I started to notice, and then I figured it out, but I didn't want to get you involved, and I was waiting for the right time to confront Archie and Maxie. Of course, that never happened… But anyway, what you're telling me would explain a lot. I'll be over in Lilycove to hear the entire story as soon as I can, Jez. I'm leaving right as soon as I close up the gym."
"Thanks Dad." I smiled before I laughed nervously. "Oh, um Dad? Just to let you know, I may look a bit… messed up when you see me."
"What do you mean by that, Jezebel?" I flinched at his use of my full first name.
"Well… I have a broken hand… and a broken nose… and a sliced open palm on my other hand… and a few black and blue bruises…" I felt myself confidence dwindle with every little thing wrong with me that I told him. I could feel the anger radiating off my father, even through the phone. I could hear him glaring.
Suddenly the line went dead and my eyes widened. Aw hell… here we go…
HalloweenWitchHalloweenWitch
It was only a couple hours later when we all gathered together with the members of the IPHP League and began to go over the events that took place and what was soon to come. Violet, after hearing the story of what Razi told me from Gwyn, went to do a bit more research before we would put any sort of plan into action. Vince and Aaron were both absent from the group. Violet had said that Aaron didn't want to leave Levy's side in case someone came for her or her pokemon (with them both being legendaries). Vince, on the other hand, had left for the next town already, due to a notification that Team Magma members had been sent to the space center there. Violet didn't want to take any chances and sent over Vince immediately. We would join him soon, but at least someone with a full team of pokemon would be there in case anything happened.
My father arrived soon enough, out of breath and red in the face. One look at me nearly turned his face purple until Violet and Gwyn quickly stepped in to calm him down. While my father wasn't happy with the wounds all over my body, he was glad to see I was okay and now that we both knew, it was easier to talk about the subject of our family. Dad had apparently known for years. I was horrified to hear that that was how long they were (and still were) under the control of that hypnotic trance Rose put on them.
Violet soon brought our meeting together and had us gather in a conference room in the hospital. Alex was at the computer beside her with a slide show up and ready for all of us. The room went dark and we all took our seats to listen to her speak.
"All right, everyone. Due to events and new information that's come up, we're pressed for time to stop the schemes of Team Aqua and Team Magma even more so than before." She turned to Alex and he handed her a small device which she pressed the side button and the image on the screen before us changed to that of two legendary pokemon. One of them being Groudon, whom I remember from when I faced my uncle yesterday. The other one I didn't recognize, but from the markings on its body and the appearance of a water type. I had to assume the beast was none other than Kyogre.
"With new information we've gathered, apparently Rose has been behind these two teams all along. From what I can only assume was supposed to be testing the strength of a pokemon's attack on some random people has turned into a region-wide civil war between those manipulated and those that are not. Under the influence of Rose, Maxie Emery and his wife Courtney along with Archie Twain and his wife Shelly are all under the hypnotic trance, as well as Brittany Emery-Twain. We're not sure if she has a role in all of this or not. Norman Twain," my father looked directly at the woman, "Once this meeting is over, we need you to head back to Petalburg with your niece and go find Brittany and get her to the nearest hospital. We need to be sure that the hypnosis used on her won't be used to help Archie or Maxie and what they're trying to do."
My father nodded to her and held Nixie and I a little closer.
"Next, we move onto the main parts of this meeting, dealing with Archie and Maxie and stopping them, especially Archie." The screen changed to that of the red orb and some information showed up on it with the image of Groudon. "The red orb is only supposed to control the power of the legendary beast known as Groudon, not Kyogre. By using the incorrect orbs, the pokemon will be out of control and will use their abilities to destroy this region before spreading to the entire world, which is what happened when Maxie used the blue orb on Groudon. The same will happen to Kyogre if we don't put a stop to this. The only problem is that we have miles of ocean where Kyogre could be located and Archie has a submarine. We have no idea where he could be."
Violet changed the slide again to where a map of the water routes were located on the eastern side of the region and the cities included. "Gwyn, I want you and Tristan to start exploring these underwater locations. The rest of us will remain in Mossdeep where we will prevent Team Magma from taking the fuel from the space station and blowing up Mt. Chimney." She then turned to me and my friends. "And as for you four, I want you to sit these next set of missions out to recover."
"What? You can't be serious, Violet!" I jumped from my seat and shouted at the woman. She never batted an eye after my shout.
"I am serious, Jezebel. You and the others have taken on some serious wounds after your last few fights with Team Aqua and Team Magma, not to mention that you faced Razi and just barely made it out of there alive if Gwyn had not been there to save you."
"But-"
"No buts!" The woman's voice bellowed over my own.
"Violet, stop it." I was shocked to see that it was Gwyn who spoke out against her sister champion. The older woman looked at her in surprise, as did most everyone in the room. I may not have known Gwyn all that well, but she was not someone to go against Violet, ever. So this was a historic event indeed.
"What?"
"Violet, this girl needs to keep going on the path she's on." Gwyn stood up from her seat and stood next to Violet in a challenging manner. It was probably the only way to get through that woman's hard head. "She is strong enough, and while she may not have been able to fight Razi on her own, she was able to stand up to him and hold her own. She even made him admit his and Rose's plans to us. She's begun to become a changeling! Her hands turned to those of her blaziken when I saw her; she left a large new scar on his face that's even bigger than the one you put on Rose's four years ago. She's more than strong enough to face Maxie and Archie and stop them, and she should be the one to take them down. Having something drastically change in their family may be enough for them to break the hypnosis on them, and them finding out that the girl that was fighting them all along was Jez? That may be enough to do it!"
"And what if the world goes into chaos? What then?"
"Then we'll face it like all other challenges that we've faced before!"
"You don't seem to understand that the world would be left in the hands of a thirteen year old girl!"
"And how old were you when you saved the world from Rose for the first time?" Gwyn's last argument was enough to halt the woman's next retort. "Violet, face it, this girl is just like we were, and stronger than we ever were back then. She's got the heart and the strength behind her that we did; she's becoming a changeling sooner than we ever did." They both looked over at me. "This is also a family battle; Rose messed with her family, and with too many members. You know as well as I do that anything that has to do with family has to be settled by family, until every end is tied up." Gwyn looked back to the woman. "Right?"
Violet paused for a few moments and just thought. The entire room was silent as the woman's eyes either dulled or glittered with the ideas that flashed behind them. Finally, after a few moments, Violet looked up and over at me.
"Fine. Gwyn has raised the key points that you do need to be there, and that this is also your fight. So, a change of plans, then." Gwyn moved off to the side while Violet turned off the projector. "Jezebel, you and your friends will be the ones guarding the space station while the rest of us will be hiding a short distance off until they attack, and we'll assist you, but Maxie and Courtney will be your fight."
"Thank you, Violet…" She nodded.
"I'm sorry about the way I acted; I tend to forget that I was your age once as well. Before you go, however, I need to tend to those wounds of yours." She pulled me toward her and became a changeling of her umbreon. "Moonlight." Dark healing energy surrounded me as Violet began to heal my bruises, breaks and tears.
"Morning sun!" I turned around to look over at Gwyn healing me as well. She grinned at me in the form of her espeon.
"Now this won't take away all your pain, especially in your broken hand, but I can at least heal your wounds so while you'll still feel the pain, you can use your hand." While Violet was healing me, she pulled away the bandages of my hands and I watched as the black and blue marks faded away along with the cut on my palm. I started to move the fingers on my broken hand, and while it hurt like hell, I could do it, just like Violet said.
"Thanks you guys…"
"Now we'd best be getting going. We have many things to do and places to check to find Archie and Maxie before the world gets turned into turmoil." Alex rose from his seat at the computer and Violet and Gwyn cut off their healing ability. I could still feel the pain, but it had dulled and my physical wounds were gone. "Let's get going people."
Everyone flocked out of the room in the next moment. Gwyn and Violet seemed to wait for us at the door while I was left with my father and cousin.
"I'm going to take Nixie back to my place. She'll stay with me until this is all over." My father hugged me tightly. "I'll deal with your mother; if you find any of your other cousins and convince them to come back, send them to me. Free our family and stop them." He kissed my forehead. "I love you Jezebel."
"I love you too Dad; be careful." I pulled back. "They may come back after you for Nixie."
"Daddy won't." I turned my head to look at my little nine year old cousin before she rushed into my arms. "Daddy hasn't cared for a long time now… not unless we wanted to help him with all the bad stuff he was doing!"
"It must be the same thing with the others." I held Nixie and let her cry on me while I looked up at my father. "Caspian, Enya and Edan must all be going through the same turmoil."
"I'll take care of them; just send them my way, honey." Dad pulled Nixie back away from me and picked her up into his arms and let her cry on his neck while he led me out. I nodded to my father one last time before I walked off with Gwyn and Violet to where the others were ready to head to Mossdeep City.
I turned around for just a moment to see my father take off in the opposite direction to head back to Petalburg with Nixie still in his arms. I smiled, happy to see our family slowly healing the scars we had as we headed toward saving what little I thought we had left.
Caspian's Point of View:
To say I was pissed was an understatement as I paced throughout the underground cave looking for my sister. My father had just noted that my baby sister was most likely off playing somewhere after the mission. I didn't really care about these missions at all; all I wanted was my little sister back.
After looking through the seafloor cavern that my father had found while he was searching for Kyogre, I'd given up on the idea that my sister was there. I'd left the underwater cavern with my huntail helping me to the surface of the water. With huntail's help, I managed to make it all the way to Slateport by the time nightfall hit. My poor pokemon was tired and I hurried over to a pokemon center (after, of course, changing out of my uniform) and I called my uncle. My uncle would know what to do, and it was about time I told him about what my father and mother were doing.
"Hello?" My eyes widened when I heard the really high pitched voice over the phone.
"Nixie?" She gasped on the other side of the phone. "How are you at Uncle Norman's? Wait. Never mind. Are you alright?"
"I'm okay. Jezebel brought me to Uncle Norman and he took me to his home. I'm staying there right now while he talks to Auntie Brittany. Oh, guess what, Caspian! Mommy and Daddy have been hypnotized since we were little! Auntie Courtney and Uncle Maxie too!"
"They're all hypnotized? That would explain a lot…" I groaned. "So do I have to walk all the way to Uncle Norman's house?"
"I guess so. He's not here right now, but he left Slaking with me. We could come meet you somewhere."
"No, don't. I'll just meet you there. I'm glad to hear from you, little sis. I was so worried when you didn't come back."
"I was worried for you, too. Uncle Norman's gonna be happy that you're coming here. Hurry and we can surprise him!"
"I'll be there as soon as I can, Nix. Keep the lights on for me."
"Okay!" She hung up then and I put away the phone before I left the pokemon center and traveled to the north to meet up with the river that would lead me to Oldale Town, right next door to where my sister was.
Brittany's Point of View:
My life was coming to an end; my doctor said I'd only be lasting a few more weeks at best. My time was cut down even shorter than I would have liked. I had out my diaries at the moment, re-reading through them and remembering my adventure back when I was young, when I was like Jezebel. I adored my daughter, and I knew she'd do just fine on her own. My being horrible to her has given her the desire to learn all the things she needs in life. She's finally made friends that she's wanted since she was young. My family hasn't contacted me since the day I'd ruined their Christmas, but they would have so many better ones after this.
While still looking through my diaries, I heard a knock on my door. I looked up and blinked; there was a male at my door from the heavy pounding I could hear. I climbed out of my chair and slowly made my way over to the door after wrapping my blanket around myself.
Once I opened the door, I was shocked to see it was my husband there, panting as if he'd run the entire way from Petalburg to here. I backed away from him and released my door from my hand, but he was quick to push it out of the way and walk into my home. With the light of my lamp now helping his eyes, he saw me in my weakened state and his eyes widened.
"Brittany?" Norman was quick to close the door behind him and stare at my pale skin and heavy wrinkles. "What happened to you?"
"Why are you here?" I snapped at him. "Shouldn't you be off with your precious daughter or something?"
I didn't know what was coming over me. I loved Jezebel. Whatever was happening, it was affecting even the way I want to say things. I didn't want to say that!
"Brittany, enough. I know you're under a hypnosis that's over a few years old and I'm here to help you break it!" Norman quickly grabbed my arm and pulled me to him, which was quite easy with what little strength I had left. "Now I'm getting you to the hospital by order of the head of the IPHP League. Let's go."
"Wait! Norman! What's going on?" I tried to pull against him, but he wouldn't let up.
"Our family is what's up! All of them are hypnotized just like you are and because of that, Maxie and Archie are going to take this world to the grave!"
A sudden rush went through my body, an incredible pounding in my head that just wouldn't stop. I held my head and cried out as it felt like the pain was spreading everywhere. I could see Norman talking to me through the crack in my eyes… but I couldn't hear a word he was saying…
And suddenly I wasn't there anymore. I was in the past. I was young again, just after my cancer had come back… I saw them… my brother and Archie and their wives… with that hypno and that woman… We were out in the middle of the Petalburg Woods, no one was around…
"You'll never remember that I was here, but you will take over the world. Take the ancient beasts of water and earth and use them to create your dream worlds, but at the price of anything that gets in your way or that you must use. Those things will be used to their full extent, and then will be gone." The hypno grinned while a younger and unscarred Rose placed their spell on my family.
"Leave them alone!" Their eyes were drawn from my family to me. The woman ran up and grabbed my arm and held me in place. I screamed, but that didn't seem to stop her.
"Well what do we have here? Someone playing hero? Pathetic!" She threw me to the ground. "Hypno, read her mind." The pokemon willingly did so and allowed its trainer to search through my mind for whatever she wanted from me. "Oh… what a predicament you're in; so sorry to hear about that. Why don't we make it worse, shall we?" She gave me a malicious grin before her pokemon waved its amulet in front of my face and I was instantly under the spell.
"Now, what to do… Oh I know! I know you have a daughter. Why not make her life hell, just so she doesn't feel anything when you die?" The woman came in close and breathed directly into my face. "Make her hate you, make her want nothing to do with you, make her life a living hell, and when she finally leaves you in the dust… go and rot in hell."
Everything vanished after that. I couldn't remember anything else but finding myself in present day with Norman. He was hovering over my body that apparently fell to the ground.
"Brittany!"
"Norman?" I slowly looked up at him, holding my head. Everything came rushing back through my weakened brain and I gasped. "Oh no! What have I done?"
"Brittany, we can fix this! Let's get you to a hospital!" He was quick to pick me up in his arms and start to carry me out. I wrapped my arms around enjoying the moment for only a second before reality flashed before me again.
"I can't, Norman! My cancer came back all those years ago!" My husband stopped in his tracks and looked down at me in the middle of the route. "Norman… I only have a few weeks left…"
"No… Brittany, no, we'll fix this!"
"You can't fix me, Norman; I've already been battling this for eight years! Eight years, Norman! That's how long we've all been under that woman's spell and suffering! I won't last much longer!"
"No!" Norman refused to believe. "No! No! NO!"
"Norman… my wonderful husband… I'm so sorry…"
He clenched his fist under my body. "I'm gonna kill that woman… I'm gonna kill her for doing this to you if it's the last thing I do!"
Witch's Note:
Holy shit! The shit really just hit the fan and exploded! Now that was just plain nuts! Rose was behind everything? What about this hypno? Where did it come from and how is it connected to Rose? Does anyone have a guess?
Oh how I loved writing this chapter, and now its time for you all to tell me what you all thought of it! Please remember to Review and Send in Questions for me and the characters!
Love you all and see you next week with the next chapter and more drama!
