To all who reviewed: D Thank you for everything! I'm getting a bit of writer's block again…(sigh)…It's like nothing is flowing properly anymore…Alas, here it the next chapter…
Chapter Twenty Five
Hitomi's mother stood at the entrance of the hospital. They had released her from the hospital and she took no time in getting outside. Shakily standing on her two feet, Hitomi's mother watched her take two steps before closing her eyes and grabbing the pendant.
The light was a brilliant shade of pink and as it glowed, a tall pillar of white light cascaded down and engulfed her daughter soundlessly. Her hair flapped around her tired face and her clothes blew in the mystical wind. Hitomi's mother stood in awe, taken back by the beauty of everything that was happening. It's so pure…Like the intentions she has…This is what she wanted to do…It was in her heart…
Even though she knew this light would bring her back into danger, Hitomi's mother did not stop her. Oh Hitomi…Tears were shed as she directed her gaze upward to follow her daughter's form as it ascended into the sky. Her heart was hurt emotionally; it felt like it would shatter into a million pieces. I don't want you to go……but I know you have to…I love you, Hitomi… "I love you…" She whispered to herself as the last of the white light sparkled in front of her.
Take care of her Mr. Fanel…
Through the bright light, Hitomi opened her eyes in hopes of seeing anything. She knew that she was in a room…with cold stone walls…and two figures were in front of her. Her heart clenched as she assumed who they were. Van…Shina…Hitomi could feel that aura again that suffocated her in her visions before.
She reached out from the protective light of the column in an effort to pull Shina away, but Hitomi did not realize how far away she was. Come on…reach! The image in front of her was getting clearer and closer to her as the pillar was slowly dissipating. Her hand hit the cold air in the stone room as it left the light and it touched something even colder.
Shina whipped her head around, her blue eyes glowing angrily. Stupid wretch! You can not harm me! Hitomi clutched on to her shoulder—
A force, unknown to nature, sent her wrist backwards
—and felt pain shoot up her arm. The same trick doesn't work on me twice! Narrowing her green eyes at Shina, Hitomi held on as tightly as a dislocated wrist could allow, and shifted her body to propel herself in her direction.
Still being in a levitated position, Hiotmi pushed out of the pillar with full force, causing her to crash into Shina's cold form. It was a shock to her system but the morphine the hospital had given her before she left was helping to remove all the pain. Wrapping her other arm around her neck and her legs around her waist, Hitomi held on, only slightly feeling the cold enter her system. Instead, she felt that same suffocating feeling again. Oh…What's happening?
Shina screamed. "You have no right to touch me!" Moving away from Van, and standing upright, Shina tried to use her nails to pry the Mystic Moon woman off.
The talons pierced Hitomi's skin effortlessly, but she only clung tighter. She had a job to do. Her pendant…It needs to be destroyed… Through the haze, Hitomi was determined to get to work. Using the arm that was wrapped around her neck, Hitomi forced her almost frozen fingers to find the clasp. Where is it?
Van fell back against the wall, breathing hard. With one good eye that constantly had blood running into it, he shut them. Oh Gods…Oh Gods…What's happening? From his hearing, heightened by the lack of vision, he heard a struggle going on. Prying open a sore eye, he saw through red vision Shina moving around—twisting, turning—with someone on top of her. Hitomi? He couldn't see, but he could feel her. She's here? What is she doing here?
With Shina's constant turning and twisting, Hitomi started to get a familiar light-headed, dizzy feeling. But, her fingers continued to search for the clasp. Come on…Come on…The pain in her arm and wrist was aching, however, it was subdued from all the morphine she still had in her system.
She was tired. She was hurt. Hitomi felt as if she could die…it felt like her lungs were going to explode…but she couldn't stop. Not now. I need to get this…Her eyes shut, as the spinning room was not helping. As her fingers followed the chain that held Shina's pendant to her neck, Hitomi realized that Shina must have known what she was doing because she was now more frantic. "LET GO OF ME!" Shina screamed. Growling, she muttered a quick incantation and focused her energy.
It isn't here! No! Come on! Where is it? Hitomi's fingers had come up with nothing. She had gone through the entire chain and hadn't found anything to unclasp the evil pendant. No! No! NO! Then, she felt something. It wasn't what she was looking for, but it was something cold. Very cold and hard and it was pushing at her torso. It seemed to be coming from Shina's body. No! Not now! Wait! I need more time!
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH ME!" Shina yelled, her anger fuelling her attack on the woman. Pure, cold energy surrounded her body like a bubble in an effort to pry Hitomi off. It was a bright blue colour and was acting like a growing shield to get rid of the nuisance from the Mystic Moon.
The pressure that was pushing up on her ribs was enough to crack them. She's going to kill you! You need to let go! Logic pounded into her brain as Hitomi's tired mind tried to understand exactly what was going on. …But the pendant!… Another part shouted back. …Let go!…But Van needs—!…LET GO! Forgetting about finding the clasp, Hitomi grabbed the chain itself and let Shina's powers push her off.
Along with her pendant.
The force of the energy bubble that threw Hitomi into the wall harshly also sent the dark pendant flying into another part of the room. "My pendant!" Shina shrieked as she realized it was missing. She spun around to watch Hitomi collide with the wall but could not see the airborne path that her pendant had taken.
Forgetting about Van for the moment, Shina stormed over to Hitomi and hoisted the disoriented woman off the floor. Hitomi had hit her head pretty hard on the wall and was in no mood to start moving again.
"YOU!" Shina hissed. "Where is it?"
A light smile touched Hiotmi's lips as the suffocating feeling was less. "Where is what?"
Shina's breath hitched. "You little whore. HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!" Her blue eyes glowed fiercely. Then, suddenly, her brain switched gears. She must be back to save him…How sweet…How perfect… Shina's angry energy towards the misplacement of the pendant was put into how she could finish her plan without it. "I'm going to make you kill your angel…" She mumbled under her breath, with a sinister tone. What a perfect ending… Thinking of the same possession spell that worked on Van, she pushed her power into Hitomi's mind.
Van coughed again as he slumped against the wall, watching through his red vision. Oh Hitomi…Hitomi…Wha—What are you doing? He saw everything and tried to intervene…tried to stop her from screaming so much…
But he couldn't.
It seemed that all he could do was watch.
The familiar feeling of helplessness came full force as Van's brain suddenly brought back all the visions that he had and the ones Hitomi remembered. I—I am the angel that can't save her…Oh Gods…Is this why I could not do anything? Grief overcame him. Why? This isn't supposed to happen. She isn't supposed to die! No one is! And it's all my fault.
His mind continuously threw situations where he could have done something more…something different…anything that could have changed this ending. And they all came back to one thing. If only I wasn't a Draconian…a monster…None of this would have happened…He knew it was foolish to think this way, but his negative thoughts were the most persistent in his mind.
Van's one eye that could see opened wider when he noticed that Shina was yelling at Hitomi and that she was holding her up against the wall. No! No! Not Hitomi…please…Reality came crashing down onto him. This was no time to squander seconds away. This was no time to feel sorry for himself. They still needed him; she needed him…He wasn't dead yet; he was still able to fight. I never run away…There was a battle to be fought with his love, life and country at stake. He was not helpless. He was down but not out.
And he was a fighter. The story is still on…I can change this ending, whether Shina likes it or not!
All of his previous thoughts were thrown to the wind as he realized what he would be losing if he was to do noting. What he would become if he did nothing. If I don't do anything, I will be a monster…If I—I brought everyone to this…I will bring them out of it!
His eyes narrowed and his fractured jaw set. She can't win…Newly found adrenaline pumped into his veins, making the pain lessen and his consciousness more alert. After grabbing the biggest and sharpest stone that was lying around for a weapon, slowly, the angel began to rise. Torn and battered, bloody and beat, Van's breath picked up as he fought the urge to collapse. Hitomi needs me…And I'll die trying, dammit.
Something with a powerful presence fell next to her with a gentle clinking sound. W—What? Her eyes were too tired to open and she had given up moving and struggling. Furry ears twitched towards the sound. Merle's semi-conscious mind was starting to wake up and soon a whole multitude of sounds came softly to her ears. Who's there?
One blue eye cracked open a peek at the scene in front of her. It was blurry and obstructed by the metal rods that imprisoned her, but she knew what she saw. Th—They're b—back…Hope filled her heart. They're g—gonna save us…
Her usually loud voice was too quiet and tired to wake up her fellow cellmates, so instead, Merle sat silently. She watched Shina…and Hitomi…and Van—he was farther away—but she could barely hear anything they were saying. Merle was not sure why she couldn't hear, but paid no attention to it. I'm too tired…Blinking once, her attention switched as she remembered what had woken her up in the first place. She diverted her eyes to that thing that had made the funny noise.
It was hard to see with her fatigued muscles and starving body, but the light from the broken windows had caught onto something. Titling her head, she watched how it sparkled dimly…giving off a gray glow. I wonder what it could be? Merle did not make a sound as she moved her not-so-fluffy tail in the direction of the sparkling object. Come on…grab it…Her tail curled around the object and dragged it back closer to where she was.
The chain was broken, so she carefully lifted the gray thing on the end of her tail so that she could see it with her eyes. It's so…W—Wait…this isn't Van's pen—pendant…Merle looked up again at the scene in front of her with confusion. Why is it black?
She didn't understand what was going on. Oh gods…what's happening? Are they beating her? Whose pendant is—is this? Trying as hard as possible to see what was beyond her cell, she noticed that there was red…a lot of red…all over the place and that Van was not standing straight…Lord V—Van? She also saw that Hitomi was up against the wall by one angry Shina. Hitomi! No! Get f—free!
Although fear leapt into her heart, Merle continued to watch. The two women were yelling at each other but Van was not making a sound. He was trying to move…but there was something funny in the way he was walking…There was something funny about the look of his body. He was all…red?
Oh gods…Oh g—gods…Merle's eyes were about to be filled with tears when a shining, but faint, pink light came into her view. What? Focusing her tired eyes and mind, it was only a few moments later that she realized whose pendant she had. Hitomi's w—wearing Van's pen—pendant……the only other person here…
And she smiled.
"You stupid woman! You should have never returned!" Shina repeated again, tone deathly low. Her nails were digging into Hitomi's shoulders, drawing more blood. Blue eyes glowed steadily, but Hitomi continued to be unaffected by either pain or powers. What is this? Why isn't this mortal succumbing to my powers? Increasing her magic, Shina waited. And waited. That stupid pedant cannot protect you forever! Shina thought, noticing the glow of it. It is too weak! You will be under my possession soon enough!
The goodness in Hitomi's pendant was not going to let anything happen. They had a job to do. Making a protective shield around Hitomi's soul and mind, Shina's dark magic was neutralized. But Hitomi knew that it could not hold out much longer under the increasing intensity. Steadying her breathing, she quickly sprang into action. One…Two…
"Let me go! NOW!" Hitomi grabbed onto Shina's arms to hoist herself up a few centimeters. …Three! With whatever strength she had left in her legs, Hitomi pushed both of them into Shina's abdomen. The pendant pushed onto Shina as well, sending her farther away from her. There was a weird sizzling sound as the purity of the blow burned Shina's withered skin and the sorceress held back a cry of agony.
From temporarily dislodging Shina's nails from her shoulders, Hitomi clutched onto the nearest jail bar for support. Her fresh wounds were making her weak and all of the activity was taking its toll already. Oh no…No, please…Don't give up on me now…Hitomi told her body.
Looking up at the cell as she tried to stand up again, Hitomi saw who the prisoners were for the first time since coming back. Falling on her knees in grief, Hitomi grabbed another jail bar as she started to sob. N—No…N—N—NO! God…Oh my God…Allen……Mill—Millerna……Where's Yuki?………and Merle…oh, Merle……How did they get here? How long have they been here? Her green eyes, which were starting to tear, darted between all three of them. They're going to die…
When she focused her eyes on Merle, Hitomi saw the effects of her imprisonment. Merle's fur was patchy and had completely fallen off in some areas. Her bones protruded unnaturally against the skin and her overall complexion was pale and subdued. However, in her grief-stricken medical analysis, Hitomi noticed something else. Something different. Merle's tail was curled up around her, holding something.
Something gray.
Something that had that same suffocating aura.
"Your mortal combat will do little, woman." Hitomi heard Shina's voice coming from behind her. Shit…Hitomi turned her head to the left to keep Shina in her peripheral vision and by doing this, she caught a glimpse of something she did not expect to see.
Van standing just a few feet from her left.
Their eyes locked for a second and Hitomi almost wanted to grab him and bring him back to the Mystic Moon. From the extent of his injuries that she could see, he needed severe medical attention. I need to bring him back…But I can't…We need to finish this… Emotions flooded her body; her heart pounded from love, her head ached from frustration, and her eyes drenched from sadness. We can't leave…not even if he's like that…We have to finish her… "V—Van…?"
"Hito…m—mi…" Van's broken English pained her. The way he was walking towards her made her question every bit of biology she knew. How can he still be moving? It doesn't look right at all… He's lost so much blood…
But he kept moving forward.
Her eyes darted between him and Shina. What is he doing? No! Van! Please! I don't want you to die! She stayed silent and started to rise with the aid of the jail bars to show him that she was okay and that he should rest. Please…Please, don't do this…
But he kept moving towards her. By the time she had stood up completely, Hitomi turned to see Van's body standing in front of her. Protecting her.
Making sure that the visions never came true.
I will not watch…I will do something—anything—to stop this…Van struggled to stay upright but managed to hold his arms straight out in front of the jail cells and in front of her. I will not watch you bleed, Hitomi…I will not watch you die…
He turned his head a bit so that he could see Hitomi in his peripheral vision and whispered as low as he could, "D—Do w—w—what you hav—have to…" Van was not sure if Hitomi already had a plan, but he would take any blows that Shina would give him to stall for time. That way, hopefully, she would have one by the end.
And she would live.
And everything would be okay. ……Hitomi…
"How pathetic," Shina commented cruelly, "Your last resort is a man who can't even stand upright. Bravo. You're really making this too easy. Your friends lasted much longer than this…I would of thought that for sure your precious angel would fight a bit more strongly, even as a human." She paused to let out an amused chuckle. "Hmph. I suppose that he only fights well when he's under my possession, right, woman?" Shina smiled as she referred to Hitomi's little injury.
Van wiped the blood out of his mouth with the back of his hand. He was not focusing in on what Shina was saying but figured that it had something to do with Hitomi. Van changed the subject quickly. "S—S—Shina…you wis—sh to fight the angel…?" His dark eyebrows narrowed and his teeth clenched together as the Draconian forced his wings to come out.
Hitomi watched from behind him how his back arched and hunched outward to accommodate his growing wings. They pushed up against his skin and were freed with a weak scream from Van's lips. They shredded whatever was left of his hospital gown and sent pieces of the material—with white and red feathers—everywhere.
Van's torso bent forward from the force, but he did not fall down. He staggered a bit before trying to correct his posture. Shina watched amazed but happy. So this is the angel that I'm sworn to destroy…She watched him breathe with difficultly and move with inaccuracy, knowing that it was all because of her. Chuckling a bit at Van's awkward and pained movements, Shina recited a memory that she had seen in Hitomi's mind when she had almost swiped it clean. "I think your wings are beautiful, Van…"
Hitomi stared wide-eyed at the scene and at Shina's comment but pulled her attention away from it. She dropped down on her knees quickly and faced Merle's cell, using Van's wings as a cover so Shina would not see her. "Merle! Merle!" Hitomi called her as loud as she could without rousing Shina's suspicion. "Please! I need your help!"
She watched Merle's ears twitch. "Yes! Come on! Merle! Merle!" Her pale face turned slightly to where the voice was coming from and one dilated pupil finally stared back at Hitomi. Swallowing a lump in her throat, caused by Merle's poor condition, Hitomi continued. "Merle, I need you to give me that pendant…"
Although the sound was low and picture was not very clear, Merle began to stretch out her tail in the direction of the pinkish blob with green dots and light-brown hair. She could feel the presence of her friend and knew that she had to do her best to cooperate so that they could all get out of there. Hitomi stretched out her hand as well, coaxing and encouraging the weakening cat-girl. "Come on, Merle…You're doing great…Just a little m—more…" Hitomi kept her voice just above a whisper as she reached for the grey pendant.
"The a—angel is here, S—Shina…Wha—What are you…wait—waiting for?" Van's voice outdid Hitomi's on volume by several degrees, covering her more from Shina's grasp. He needed to distract her as much as possible. "What. Are. You. Waiting. For?" He broke up his words to make them as strong as possible as he glared at her through his bloody and tousled hair.
Shina straightened her arm towards him and mumbled something he could not pick up. A blue-white ball of light appeared, coming out of her wrist. It began to glow as Shina's eyes started to glow too. It wasn't as bright as it usually was, but Van braced himself regardless.
"You think I'm a fool, don't you?" Shina glared. My pendant is behind you…in the cells…I can sense these things too… "Never underestimate your opponents, my love."
Hitomi's head snapped up at Shina's newest words. She knows…Pushing her body right up against the bars, she stretched. Come on! Reach! Just a little more! Her arms hurt and were letting out a lot of blood into the cells. "Merle! Just a little more!"
The patchy tail was stretched out to its fullest and was twitching from holding the position. Hitomi's fingers were just barely brushing the fur as they both continued to reach out. Hitomi pressed her body further into the bars, and was so close to reaching for it.
It was right there.
So close. Come on! Please! Reach! Get it!
Van hunched over slightly to make his center of gravity lower as he waited for Shina's move. Whatever it takes…He kept the stone gripped firmly in his hand, telling himself not to drop it. Wiping the blood out of his view again, he saw that the blue light was much bigger than before. And that it was coming straight for him.
He moved his wings to wrap around him so that they gave him an extra barrier; an added defense to keep him in front of Hitomi for a longer time. But he was not expecting for the blue light to come right through them and wrap itself around his waist. With a confused gasp, Van tried to pry the light away from his body. It was cold, like always, and it lifted him off the ground with ease, not even slightly affected from his attempts to get free.
Van felt his stomach move up in his chest as he was turned upside down a few feet in the air. His wings tried to change his course, but he was thrown into the opposite wall with a force to crack the stones.
He collided into the wall with a yell as his bad shoulder took most of the impact. He crumpled onto his side and rolled over so that he was facing Hitomi. His wings draped over his broken body as he struggled to stay awake and breathe. His head was swimming and pain shook his entire being. He knew that he was losing too much blood…that his bones could not take anymore…and that it was only a matter of time.
Not even his ancestors could save him now.
"VAN! NO!" Hitomi's scream echoed off the wall as she turned right around to witness Shina's latest demonstration of her power. Tears were falling out of her eyes and all she wanted to do was curl up into a ball. No…No…Please…God…Her heart felt like it could explode.
She heard footsteps coming towards her and immediately backed up into the jail cell. When Hitomi looked up, she was face to face with the creature. Her tears stopped but she sobbed. Van…Oh, Van…Please, still be awake…
The creature snarled at her. "Give me my pendant…"
Hitomi stared into its eyes with defiance. "N—No…I don't have it…" She slowly began to stand, holding onto the bars behind her for support.
"Your angel is dead…There is no use fighting anymore. I've won. It's over." It hissed at her. "The last Draconian is dead…The earth will be reborn…all thanks to me…There is nothing you can do. You've lost, woman…Now, get me my pendant. I know that you know where it is!"
"N—No…" Hitomi clutched the bars tighter, shutting her eyes tightly and focusing her energy into finding Van. The pendant began to glow again; it was weak, but it was still pulsing.
Lub-Dub
Lub-Dub
"…no…NO!" Hitomi repeated, opening her eyes. "You haven't won! He is still alive! Van! VAN!" She called out to him, trying to get a response from him.
"Stupid woman. Do not give into your foolish desires."
"VAN! VAN!" She watched him from over the creature's shoulder. She waited.
Lub-Dub
Lub-Dub
And waited.
His heart… "VAN!" Hitomi screamed as loud as she could, waiting for a response. Something…anything! Please! She waited. And waited.
And then, she saw it.
He was looking straight at her with his one good eye.
It was not a trick with the light. She saw him looking at her. "V—VAN!" Holding her hand over her head, she whipped Shina's black pendant as hard as she could in his direction. The creature gripped her arm just after she had thrown it and pushed her back into the cell hard. Hitomi's shoulder blades smacked against the bars loudly. "Stupid woman!" It screamed, turning around to walk towards the motionless angel where its pendant was angrily. Waste of my time—!
The creature had barely gotten five steps when it felt an arm wrap around her. The pink pendant was still pulsing, faster this time, sending another burning sensation to the creature. It screamed as it tried to get the offending hand off, but Hitomi held on in pain. "VAN!"
A bloody hand was outstretched and the black pendant was in its reach. Two fingers broken, it held onto it with its thumb and index finger. Van slowly retracted his arm towards his body and held the sharp rock over it.
Faster and faster.
The creature continued to thrash around, digging its talons into Hitomi's arms again and pulling on her broken wrist. Although she screamed in pain, Hitomi held on. But she knew that it wouldn't be much longer. "VAN! BREAK IT! BREAK IT!" She managed to shout in between bouts of pain.
Faster and faster.
Van slammed the rock down with his good arm and was satisfied by the sound it made. Break it…Break it…Hitomi's instructions repeated in his head. He heard Shina scream. Again…Do it again…He held the rock higher this time before crashing it on the black pendant for the second time.
"NO! NO! GET OFF ME!" The creature shouted, feeling its pendant's pain, and its own power weakening. Finally, the creature flung Hitomi off of its body and she collided against the stone wall again. Although it was rid of the woman, it still felt the effects of her pure pendant. Its body burned, like her anger. Growling, it headed in the direction of the angel.
Faster and faster.
For a third time, Van smashed the rock against the black pendant, getting frustrated that it hadn't broken yet. Again…Again! He was tired. He was barely conscious. Something else was keeping him moving. Break it!
Faster and faster.
The creature was just inches of Van's body, reaching out to grab the pendant before it broke. "NO! STOP THAT NOW!"
The rock was coming down again.
Faster and faster.
Hitomi watched, blurry-eyed from her position at the wall; the pink pendant was spinning in all directions again, but its light was brighter. The pendant…is—is giving Van's its power…
Faster and faster.
"Van…break it…" She whispered, feeling a copper tang in her mouth.
"GIVE ME MY PENDANT!" The creature screamed, its fingers elongated to grab it. It was so close to it. It's mine!
And then, it stopped.
Van smashed the rock down for the final time and watched as a crack formed. The tiny crack etched its way along the entire surface of the pendant. It cricked and cracked in the silence of the room. Bluish gray light was being emitted from the cracks as they got deeper.
Before the creature could say a word, the pendant had split down the middle and shattered. Tiny pieces of black flew everywhere, being propelled in different directions from the bluish gray light that exploded from the center of it.
The creature let out the loudest and high-pitched scream in the room and dropped to its knees to salvage what was left of its pendant. "NO! No…No! It can't be!" It felt weaker already. Although it still had all the same powers as before, they had a lower intensity now. It grabbed the shards and tried hard to catch whatever power was still in the air.
Hitomi's pendant levitated upwards and Van's body did the same. She watched on, taking in everything very slowly. It's gone…Hitomi no longer felt suffocated. It's gone…Her powers are weaker now… Looking at Van's body, she realized that he was not on the ground anymore. The pendant was also glowing again. Eyes wide, but unable to move, Hitomi watched him. The pendant…It's making him……Oh, God…
The body of Van gracefully picked up his long discarded sword laying a few steps away with his good arm. He walked back towards the creature and glared at it. With a tight frown and an angry outcry, the pendant made Van hoist the bewildered creature off the floor and up against the wall.
Van… Hitomi watched as the pendant continued to get darker. What are you doing? What dark desire do you have?
The creature gasped as Van held it up against the wall with his arm against her collarbone and his blade against her neck. "I told myself that I would destroy you before you hurt anyone else…"
"M—My love…Please, listen to what you are saying. You don't mean that…" The creature tried its last attempt at getting free. With its powers temporarily out of sync, it was trying to play on Van's sympathetic nature…trying to possess him again. It worked before when my strength was halved…he is barely alive…he cannot resist me!
Van stayed silent, his breathing severally strained. His body shook, but his pendant kept him and the creature standing upright. "Y—You wouldn't kill another woman you love, would you?" The creature continued, using his emotions.
He swallowed thickly and answered her question by pressing his blade against her throat. His eyes were dark and cloudy. "I—I never l—loved you…"
With a gasp from Hitomi, Van's blade swiped cleanly through the creature's throat; decapitating the creature who set to destroy the world. There was no blood, no twitching…its head just rolled on the floor, soundlessly. Hitomi saw the pendant's darkened light start to fade and dim; Van followed suit. His wings drooped and his sword fell from his hands. The creature's body fell onto the floor as he let go of it and he fell backwards to land on his back with a thud.
0.0 That took A LOT longer than I thought it would.
Hope you all enjoyed it! I somewhat liked how this turned out. :D Ding-Dong, the witch is dead! Sorry again for the long wait…I hope it was worth it!
