"Stop this!" North yelled.

Eris laughed mockingly, "Oh you silly Guardians, thinking that you can protect children," She looked at each of their guilty faces, "You couldn't even keep two out of my way, and they were with you!" Her smile was similar to a satisfied child's, "But if it makes you feel better." She snapped her fingers again, and Sawyer and Damien's deep breathes sounded close to sobs. It grew even more heartbreaking when they began to cough up blood. Elizabeth's heart hammered in her chest.

"Now," Eris leaned down to the struggled breathing, "I could make a deal with you. If you join my side," She gestured to herself, "Then all this pain will end." The two looked at her in a dazed state. Then Sawyer, stupidly, decided enough was enough. Her gaze hardened and she spit in Eris's face. Eris set her jaw, and everyone held their breath.

"N-Never." Sawyer's voice was raspy.

"S-Sawyer..." Damien looked at her in desperate shock, his voice the same.

"That wasn't smart, child," Eris said calmly, "In fact, that was beyond stupid." The two stared each other down. After a while Eris smirked. "You have guts, you foolish brat. I appreciate that. After all, you are going to need that." That's when everyone realized that Sawyer was this so called 'host'. And, in fact, it wasn't just realization, it seemed to hit them like a ton of bricks.

"Sawyer," Asher began, "What is she talking about?" She seemed to know her mistake, but quickly made her face black.

"Oh, this is grand!" Eris sighed happily, putting her hands on Sawyer's shoulders, making her tense, "I chose her specifically." She smirked, "So, I present to you the Mad Hatter!" She roughly pushed Sawyer forward, making her fall face first into the ground.

"M-Mad...?" Tooth breathed what everyone was thinking. The Mad Hatter slowly picked herself off the ground like nothing happened at all. Damien kept glancing at her, making sure she was okay. Though he stayed silent.

"Yes, yes," The goddess rolled her hand, "Here," Something solified in Eris's hand before she dropped it on Sawyer's lap.

A gun.

Why did Eris give Sawyer a gun? Jack and Elizabeth exchanged worried looks. Sawyer was looking at the weapon with a black expression.

"You know you want it," Destruction went to level with Madness, "So why not use it?" The scary thing was that the blonde looked like she was considering it. Her bandaged hands wrapped around it and daintily picked it up.

Damien looked panicked, "Sawyer!" She looked at him with those eyes. Those beautiful blue/grey eyes. "You don't want the gun." She blinked, as if she was partially getting what he was saying. "Give it to me-"

"And why should she?" Eris cut in, "She could take out those Guardians, no?" They wouldn't die, but it would surely hurt, "And besides, don't either of you feel a grudge? Anger?" Damien looked like he wanted to disagree, but stayed silent and his gaze went elsewhere. But Sawyer stared at the Guardians in a way that said, yep she's right, I am.

"Macy, stop." Cupid said firmly. "I know you're a psychopath, but don't hurt them further."

"You, I'll deal with later," Eris said.

"Sawyer, " Jack began, "I know you're mad at me, and that is perfectly fine," He was obviously trying to choose his words carefully, "I'm sorry." His daughter looked shocked. She opened her mouth but closed it. A nod.

"Okay," She barely whispered. He smiled, but she didn't. She simply dropped the gun, and kicked it to them. They could tell that the once happy and cheerful girl was gone, replaced by madness. Her eyes flickered gold, and Elizabeth swore her skin grew to a pale glitter form, almost. Patrick picked up the metal.

"I promise everything will be fine," Elizabeth smiled, trying more to convince herself than Sawyer.

"Oh no it wont," Eris laughed.

A roar shook the cavern.

"That isn't a Cyclopes, is it?" Lucas guessed.

"Nope." A crack in the ground glowed pure white and it grew, breaking open. Claws made their way out.

And there stood the Dream Hydra, hungry and ready for blood.
