Episode 5
A New Dead Rises
"Mommy, why do I have to go to school?" Asked twelve year old Barbra West. Her bobbed brown hair was getting combed by her mother. Her mother had blue skin and pink circles on her cheeks, along with dark blue hair. She wore a pink and satin gold dress as she brushed her child's hair. "Because you need to have an education to get a job," she told her daughter.
"But... people will make fun of my blue skin..."
"Honey, people won't make fun of your skin..."
"Yeah little sis, it's something that actually happened to people in the lpast. They'll think it's a genetic," said Barbra's older sister, Xiangji. She had blue hair with matching eyes, and peach colored skin. She wore blue, mens clothing and was typing in a cell phone. "I don't know..." Barbra muttered. Their mother finished combing Barbra's hair. "Don't worry Barbra... Xiangji will protect you. Like she always does," she said as she gave Barbra her backpack. "Bye girls!" The two girls left as their mother waved. She sat on the couch and sighed. "Hsien-Ko, your husband is calling on video chat," said a voice. The mother, named Hsien-Ko, turned to see her fraternal twin sister. "Oh. Thanks Mei-Ling," she said as she got up and sat by the computer, clicking the answer option. "Hey sweetheart," said a male's voice. Hsien-Ko saw a man with a camera in his hand. He had a green coat on, along with a black shirt. That was all Hsien-Ko could see though. "Hey Frank. How's work?" She asked.
"Oh you know. The usual. Just," he bashed an upcoming zombie with a barbed wire baseball bat in its head "more zombies to kill."
Hsien-Ko giggled. "Yeah. You always get the job done... Mr. West,"
"Yeah I thought being freelance journalist again was easy. Turned out to be a pain in the ass with all these zombies. How are the girls?"
"Aww you just missed them. Xiangji and Barbra left for their first day of school..."
"Really? Damn it..."
"Yeah... Barbra's in the 7th grade, and Xiangji's already in Senior year..."
"I'm sorry I'm not there to see it..."
"It's okay!"
Frank smiled. "Glad to hear that, Mrs. West,"
Hsien-Ko giggled. "...You know... Xiangji's been thinking about journalism,"
"Hehe. Following in her dad's footsteps, huh?"
"Yeah but... she wants to take Barbra with her. And go find you."
"...What?"
"Yeah... they miss you, Frank... They know you come visit every now and then, but they want you home for good..."
"I know... it's just these damn outbreaks..."
"If they find you, they can get hurt. Or worse..."
"Don't worry. They're half me, half you."
"So?"
"Remember that show Z-Nation? Where that girl Lucy was part zombie?"
"Yeah, but Frank that's fiction... and Xiangji looks more human than Barbra..."
"Look it'll be fine. I promise..."
"Okay... I miss you. I love you,"
"Love you too," Hsien-Ko blew a kiss to her husband and closed off the video chat. Mei-Ling shook her head in disappointment. "He's changed Hsien-Ko..." she told her. Hsien-Ko ignored her as she put Barbra's hairbrush away. "Frank has become much more stubborn. His career and being away from the girls is just... just making me think that he's going to cheat on you..." Hsien-Ko started to get mad as she turned around to talk to her fraternal twin sister. "Mei-Ling, I ask if he met any girls on his job. All he said for girls was he reunited with a lady named Isabela, and his prodige- prodigy? Aiya! Pupil! I can't speak well when I'm angry... Anyway, he's never done anything with them except fight zombies as far as I'm concerned..." she told her sister as she then left the room.
Getting off the bus, the two sisters walked towards the school. Barbra was hugging her sister. "Hehe. That girl looks like she's watching someone at the military academy," Xiangji told herself. The twelve year old girl looked up at her sister. "Xiangji... I'm nervous..." Barbra said as she hugged her big sister while trying to walk inside the school. Xiangji smiled and patted her head. "It's okay, kiddo. You'll be fine!" she told her as they walked inside the school. "Just remember," the older sister added "you gotta act like you're 12. You're in seventh grade now, so the lower grades are gonna look up to you for guidance,"
"I dunno... seventh grade sounds pointless..."
"I thought you were complaining because you were worried you were gonna be made fun of!"
"I am... but people say seventh grade is the worst grade to be in..."
Xiangji sighed and knelt down to Barbra. She pulled out her wallet and took out a picture of them and their parents. "Look, if you're so nervous, show them this. They'll know it's heredity. You guys should be learning about it," she told her. Barbra lightly took the picture and nodded. "Okay. Thanks sis!" she said as she ran to class. Xiangji giggled and went upstairs to her class.
At the next door military academy, Cameron 'Valentine' Redfield sat up after doing some push-ups. He glanced up to see a red dress and white with red orange highlights turn away to the next door school. "A girl looked at me..? Weird," he said as he slipped his eyepatch over his one closed eye. He picked up his shirt and headed for the showers. "Yo, Cam!" called a voice. Cam turned to see his best friend, Wong Tao/Tao Kennedy. "Hey Tao. Just doing some exercise. Got noticed by a girl though," he told his friend.
"A girl?"
"Yeah. I think she's from the next door school,"
"Why care about a girl at that school watching," Tao pointed to some girls at the military academy "when you can have sexy military girls watching you?"
"Tao, those girls at the military academy are pointless to date. How will I know if one dies in combat?"
"Man you're one party pooper... It's not because of me, is it?"
"What? No! ...You still worked up over that incident?" Cam asked as the two walked inside the school. "Yeah... I mean I can't help but worry about you..."
"It was just an accident, Tao. It wasn't your fault..."
"An accident? I could have gotten you killed!"
"That machine gun was faulty... it malfunctioning and you didn't even see me,"
"Look, just... try not to get into more trouble. Okay?" Tao placed his hand on Cam's shoulder. Cam sighed and nodded. "Alright... whatever you say, Tao." he said as the two sat down in class.
~flashback: Five weeks ago~
"Alright. Managed to hit the mechanical targets with the Lewis gun, and hit the B.O.W. targets with the 9 milimeter Parabellum Glock 17. Good work, son," Chris Redfield told Cam as he checked everything on a clipboard. Cam nodded as he went to go switch out the human cardboard cutouts with new ones. "Alright Kennedy, your turn." Chris told Tao. Tao nodded and stood behind a counter. "And..." Cam left the field after replacing everything. Chris gave Tao a thumbs up. "Go!" Tao started off with the machine gun. He aimed it at a cardboard helicopter and pulled the trigger. However, nothing happened. "Sir, the Lewis gun is faulty!" Tao told Chris in a strict voice. Cam turned to them, confused. "It was working when I used it..." he said as he came towards them. Without noticing Cam, Tao pulled the trigger three times. On the third pull, the machine gun started shooting out of control.
"Take cover!" Chris shouted as he and the students ducked down. However before Cam could take cover, he ended up getting shot three times in the chest, once in the left leg, another in the left shoulder and arm, and his right, light blue eye. He fell backwards on the ground, bleeding from his injuries. When the machine gun stopped, everyone slowly looked up. "Everyone alright?" Chris asked. Everyone nodded. "Good. Cam you okay?" Chris called out. No response. The other students stood up and looked for him. Tao looked down to see his best friend lying there. "Sir! We got a man down, sir!" yelled a female student. Chris turned around to see Cam on the ground, bleeding and breathing heavily. "Cam..." he muttered as he ran towards him. "Get help now!" he exclaimed as he held the boy. Military students fled the room frantically searching for help. However Tao stood there, traumatized... "Hey... You'll be fine..." Chris told his son, trying to calm him down.
Cam managed to open up his working eye. "D...d...dad... Dad I... I couldn't take c...cover in time..." he tried to say. However before he could say more, Chris picked him up. "Don't say anything... you're going to be okay, son..." he reassured him. He then ran out of the room, getting to the school infirmary aka nurse's office.
~flashback ends~
After both schools were done for today, the students left for home. With Xiangji and Barbra, they got home and saw their mother reading something. "Barbra go to your room. I need to talk to your sister about something..." Hsien-Ko told the younger girl. Barbra did as her mother said and headed to her room. Xiangji sat down by her mother. "What's wrong..? Is it Dad..?" she asked. Her mother gave her the letter. The letter read:
"You are invited to Marius Maximoff's birthday ball in Zeltzereich castle. The ball begins when the sun goes down and the full moon rises, where Marius may choose someone to spend the rest of his life with. Formal attire is recommended and if one wishes to not be Marius's bride, maidens must be escorted by a male partner.
Sincerely, Demitri Maximoff"
Xiangji was confused, but excited. She didn't know who the Maximoff's were, but she never went to a ball before. "I'd like to go! I got a blue tuxedo, so I can confuse that Marius kid and-"
"You're not going," Hsien-Ko interrupted her.
"What? Mom, why not?!"
"Demitri Maximoff... is a Darkstalker."
"So? You were too!"
"No Xiangji... I was a Dark Hunter..."
"So why can't I go? Because you worry about me getting hurt? I'm almost 18... I'm almost to the age where I can take care of myself... besides, I don't plan to go to my school's festival this year... so why not go to a ball instead..?"
Hsien-Ko sat in silence for a moment. If she can fight alongside Demitri at least once when the worlds collided, her daughter could deal with his son. She smiled and said "Okay, but on a few conditions." Xiangji nodded.
"First off, at least take Barbra with you because she would miss you at the festival,"
"Okay sure,"
"Second, do not take pictures because vampires can't be seen through photographs,"
"Right."
"Finally, you will not wear a tuxedo young lady!"
"Aww what? ...Okay. Fine I'll wear a dress..."
Hsien-Ko giggled and hugged her daughter. "Even if you're turning 18, you and Barbra will always be my two favorite girls..." she whispered. "I know Mom. We love you too," Xiangji whispered back.
~Redfield House~
Cam splashed some water on his face before he walked into the house. He saw his mother in a casual light blue t-shirt and blue jeans. Her blonde hair was in a ponytail like it would usually be, and her light blue eyes stared at the counter. "Mom, I'm home," Cam announced as he rubbed his head in a towel by the table. She turned around and walked towards him. "How was school today son?" she asked.
"It was okay. Same as usual. Dad's still treating me like his star student. Since I do more than the other kids and not because I'm his kid. Tao worried about me again. I did some push ups this morning, but... I felt watched,"
"Watched? Hmm... maybe you finally got some girl's attention~"
"I did get a glimpse of her... Kind of. All I noticed was her white and red orange hair. And a little bit of her dress," Cam sat on the couch in silence. He then put a hand over his eye patch. "You don't think she freaked out because of my injuries and missing eye... do you Mom?" he asked. His mother smiled and sat next to him. "Nah, you look fine sweetie. I don't think anyone could be scared of you," she told him.
"Thanks. Tao's a worry wart when it comes to me. And his dad's a stiff guy..."
"He's still a good friend though. I'm sure you can put your trust in him,"
"Yeah. He is trustworthy, but he needs a girlfriend too,"
"I'm sure both of you will find your true loves someday," she said as she rubbed his hair.
"Yeah. Like you and dad," Cam told her. His mother smiled a bit as a faint blush appeared. "Yeah..." she said. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Curious, Cam stood up and walked to it. He opened it seeing what looks like the same girl who spied on him. "Uhh hi. Are you C-Cameron 'Valentine' Redfield..?" she asked in a shaky and nervous voice. "Yeah," he replied "That's me." His mother stood up and went to the door. "Hmm? Is this a friend of yours sweetie?" she asked. The girl stood there awkwardly, her face red as a tomato as if she never had social contact with boys. Cam whispered to his mother "I think that's the girl who spied on me." Suddenly and quickly, the girl held two dog tags: one blank and the other with Cam's information on it. "I-I came to tell you that... I found your d-d-dog tags..." she said as her hand shook while holding them. "Oh thanks," he said as he took the dog tags and placed them in his pocket. He was not on duty, so he could wear them whenever he could.
Cam's mother looked at the girl. The mostly white hair and green eyes were very peculiar to her. "Hmm... You seem a bit familiar. Have we met before?" she asked. Cam looked at the girl and introduced himself properly. "I'm Cameron, but people call me Cam... what's your name?" The girl, still nervous replied "Luna... Luna Koryuji," Cam's mother was in shock when she heard her name. "Koryuji..?" she asked Luna.
"Umm... yeah... I know, I come from a rich family... I don't mind the life, but I don't like exploiting it like my mom,"
Cam's mother was silent, then she giggled. "Your mother... She wouldn't happen to be Mii Koryuji?~"
"But she is,"
"Well... Nah, I shouldn't say,"
Cam rubbed the back of his hair nervously, then turned to Luna. "Umm... wanna come inside?" he asked. "Sure..." she replied as she slowly walked inside the house, blushing. Cam's mother closed the door. "Is something wrong Luna?" she asked. Luna looked up and shook her head no. "Oh no. Nothing's wrong," she said, looking at Cam. She looked down blushing more. He was silent, but Cam looked at Luna blushing. Cam's mother smiled as she watched her son and the Koryuji daughter. "Well... have fun then, love birds~" she said as she went back to the kitchen. The two children blushed as they looked at each other.
~Aensland House~
Orysha Aensland entered her home, arms folded. A woman with pale green hair and light green eyes walked towards her, hugging her. "My daughter~ How was your day at school?" she asked. "Terrible. I ran into that pitiful cousin of mine this morning,"
"Orysha don't call Luna pitiful,"
"But mother, she's going to... public school now,"
"Oh? And why does that make you upset?"
"It is the public school near the military academy. Then she insulted me,"
"Now Orysha, we talked about this. If you want to find a boy, you have to target the one you want, and go for it!"
"Is that how you were able to get with Father?"
"No I got with your father because he's not all cruel~" her mother said as she hugged a man with white hair and light blue eyes, looking down at a book.
"...Morrigan, I know you want me to show an example to our child. However I'd prefer it if you did it when I'm not reading," he said as he remained looking at the book. Morrigan giggled and kissed his cheek. "Love you too, Vergil," she said as she went back to their daughter. "You see? Even your father doesn't have a full heart of stone," Orysha rolled her eyes and went to her room. She opened her sapphire compact mirror which viewed the world. She looked through it and saw Luna eating dinner with a boy with an eyepatch, and his mother sitting with them. Orysha looked at the boy again. "Cameron 'Valentine' Redfield... I remember you. You used to be at my private school, then you moved to the military academy as soon as it was finished. Hmm..." Orysha thought, getting an idea. She smirked and said "I should steal you back from that rebellious girl~"
~Cam's house~
After dinner Luna sat on the couch and looked at the tv. She turned it on and saw the news. She watched a reporter talk about creatures called B.O.W.s and how they came to Japan, but suddenly disappeared. She then saw two people in a group called B.S.A.A. named Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Luna looked at a picture of Cam's father, who looked like the man. Luna recognized the woman as Cam's mother, but for some reason her hair is brown and not blonde. The tv was turned off by Cam, leaving Luna pouty. "Sorry. I'll tell you about my parents' history later," he told her. She smiled, then looked at the time and saw that it was 9:00. "Ah geez it's late!" she announced. She then looked up at Jill. "Is it... okay if I stay the night, Mrs. Redfield?" Jill looked up at the girl. "Hmm..." she thought. "I guess, but wouldn't your mother worry?"
"Nah," Luna answered. "My dad comes home at night. He hunts devils, so his business closes around that time so he can protect me and my mom," Cam looked at Luna in confusion. "Devils..?" Jill smirked. "Well... devils aren't really a rare thing to see these days." Luna texted her mother and waited for a reply. When she got one, Luna smiled and said "She says it's okay." Cam whispered 'Yes!' when he heard her say she can stay. Jill noticed and walked to him. "Well then, you can sleep with my son," she told Luna, then let out a giggle. Cam's face turned completely red. "M-Mom!" he exclaimed. Luna's face was red as well. "Alright... sure..." she said nervously. Jill smiled and said "I'm sure Cam wouldn't mind." Cam blushed and nodded. "Yeah. I won't mind... tomorrow's the weekend. And Dad stays with Mr. Kennedy for grading papers..." he said.
~West Home~
Xiangji slept in her bed, until she heard a door open. She opened her eyes and walked out of her room. She peaked through the hallway to see a man with a bloody, barbed wire baseball bat in hand. She gasped and ran towards him. "Dad!" She said happily. The man, revealing to be her father Frank West, turned around. "Hey you," he said, putting his bat down, hugging her tightly.
"I can wash the zombie blood off your bat, Dad,"
"Nah it's fine,"
"But how did you get here? The trips must be longer to even catch a ride..."
Frank smiled and pulled out two remotes, both black, one with a red button, and one with a blue button. "I found these babies. I don't know how they work, but they sure knew where I wanted to go," he said as he held them. Xiangji had a face of amazement and happiness. Frank put the red button remote in his pocket, then held out the blue button remote. "I'll give this one to you in case you wanna get to school or wherever you like quicker. Rifts get you anywhere though so be careful," he told her.
"Thanks Dad! But, you and Mom always talked about your adventure in Japan that involved those rift things,"
"Oh... you, uhh. You remember that, huh?"
"Yeah. I never forgot about that... I'm not sure if Barbra remembers though... she was pretty young,"
"Right."
"Wouldn't they be dangerous?"
"Yeah... that's true... but you and Barbra are strong girls. I know you two will make it," Frank told his oldest daughter. Xiangji smiled and kissed his cheek. "How long will you be staying?" she asked. Frank looked down and rubbed the back of his neck. Xiangji's smile turned into a frown. "You're gonna leaving soon... aren't you?"
"...Actually..."
"Huh..?"
"I know some guys that can handle the outbreaks... and..."
"Yeah..?"
"...I'll be staying for a few months," Frank told his daughter, smiling. Xiangji jumped up in happiness and hugged him. "Oh Daddy! That's awesome!" she said, happily. He hugged his daughter in return, rubbing her back. "Okay you get back to bed missy," he told her.
"Daddy, I'm 17. I'm almost 18,"
"True, true,"
"You gonna visit mom and Barbra?"
"Yeah. Though if your sister and mother ask... pretend you didn't know I was here,"
"Okay Dad," Xiangji told him as she went back to bed. Frank chuckled as he crossed his arms. "It's getting a little harder trying to take care of her... she'll make a great journalist," he said as he snuck into the large bedroom where his wife slept, to surprise her in the morning.
"Alright Cam," Jill said, yawning. "You're father's staying over at your friend Tao's dad's tonight. I'm going to bed... night kiddo." She then kissed her son's cheek and walked upstairs. Cam smiled and walked over to the couch where Luna slept. The way she slept looked lazy, but in a cute way. He smirked and was about to lift her up, when she opened her eyes. "Okay mister. Explain yourself. What's your family's story?" she asked. Cam was shocked. Though as he put her back down on the couch, he started explaining how his parents used to be members of S.T.A.R.S., a police department in the United States, in an area called Raccoon City. Then Cam explained that his parents worked on the case of a company called 'Umbrella', the ones who pulled the strings on creating the viral weapons. He then talked about his parents being in the B.S.A.A., and how they were involved in the Queen Zenobia ship incident, destroying the organization Veltro. "...Yeah, it's a lot to take in. My mom's a blonde because she was experimented on, and that was one of the side effects. I'd explain more, but that's all they really told me..."
"You have an interesting life," Luna commented. "But how come you guys are living in Japan? I'm sure there are more fun, non zombified places in America,"
"Well... my parents were worried that when I was born, that the viruses would spread and I'd get infected."
"That's reasonable. I haven't met your dad, but your mom is a pretty sweet lady. Wish my mom was like that..."
"What's wrong with her..?"
"She's too... Well... she tells me I act too much like my dad. I eat pizza and strawberry sundaes, listen and play rock music, you know the good life."
"Hey sometimes people say I act like my mom, and they expect me to act like my dad."
"It's different if you lived your life in a rich family... I try to make my mom proud, but every time I make one little mistake... she gets disappointed in me."
"I'm sure she understands you try..."
"...I've been thinking about running away so many times..."
"Why?"
"I'm getting sick of my mom... cause I feel like she's getting sick of me..."
Cam hugged Luna tightly without thinking. "Luna... don't ever think that. I'm sure she still loves you..." he told her in a calm and quiet voice. Luna had slowly started forming tears in her eyes. She had never felt so much faith coming from one person. Especially with someone who would risk his life to protect others. Was this treatment she received from him because he is training to become a soldier? Or because he loved her..? Either way, Luna hugged him back. "Thank you..." she said "thank you so much..."
~the next morning~
"Hey Luna, can you wake up my mom?" Cam asked as he cooked breakfast. Despite all the small burns, it looked like a decent meal. Luna headed upstairs and looked for the master bedroom. She peeked inside the room through a crack in the door and saw Jill laying in bed, still asleep. "Mrs. Redfield..?" Luna called out "Cam and I are making breakfast," The woman opened her eyes and turned to the door. "Huh? Oh... need any help?" she asked.
"Nah. We got it," Luna smiled.
"If you say so... Say Luna?"
"Hmm? Yeah?"
"...Do you like my son?"
Luna blushed. "Oh umm... Yeah. I do like him..."
Jill smirked and patted her head. "Be nice to him, okay?" Luna blushed more and slowly nodded. "I...I will..." Cam's voice was heard downstairs. "Breakfast is ready!" he told them. The two headed downstairs and sat down for breakfast. "Is it burnt like last time?" Jill asked. Cam's face turned red in embarrassment. "A little... but Luna made sure it wasn't," he told her as he gave them both breakfast. Luna ate delicately like she had good manners at a royal party, as Jill ate with good manners at a normal family breakfast. "Nice to see you've gotten better after that last 'breakfast' you made..." Jill joked with her son. "Hey come on, it was my first time!" he said, sounding even more embarrassed. Luna giggled, going back to eating. That is, until a knock on the door was heard. Curious, she stood up and answered the door, only to see Orysha there. "Luna." she said, making Luna look away, muttering "...Orysha."
Jill and Cam came to the door and saw the girl outside. "Who's this?" Jill asked Luna, letting Orysha inside. "My cousin..." Luna uttered, Orysha giving an icy stare at the girl in red. "I'm here to see your son, Mrs. Redfield." Orysha told Jill as she walked inside, moving toward Cam. The movement in her walk was seductive and cute, making Luna jealous and Jill confused. Though Cam kept a straight face, it went away when Orysha wrapped her arms around him. "Uh yeah. You need anything?" he asked, trying not to stare with his embarrassed look. Orysha gave him a smile of innocence, but it was fake. "I've been thinking... I'm the class president of my private school. And..." her light green eyes started to sparkle with lust. "I was thinking you could come and talk with the students," she added, causing Cam's eye to sparkle as well, as if he was under a trance. "Cam? You okay?" Jill asked him, noticing his behavior. Orysha moved closer to his face, about to kiss him, only for Luna to punch her in the cheek. This caused Cam to snap out of his trance, looking around confused.
Orysha's cheek healed to normal, then she glared at Luna. The girl in red smirked. "Your succubus side is showing you little bitch..." she told her with no regrets. The girl in blue took out her sword, and said "So is your father's teenage side..." They were about to fight each other, when Jill intervened. "Hey hey hey!" she exclaimed, getting in between them, pushing them apart. "Are you both crazy?!" she asked them, Luna and Orysha struggling to fight with the blonde woman blocking them both from each other. When they started calming down, Jill let them go. "She's right," Luna said "we shouldn't fight in someone's house... Let's just settle this la-" Luna was then slashed at multiple times by Orysha, causing large cuts on her body. Luna then started shooting at Orysha, but she was deflecting the blades. As the two were fighting, Jill quickly ran to her room, and came out with her own handgun, aiming it at Orysha. Then shot it at her, hitting her shoulder. Orysha's shoulder healed quickly however. Luna fell to her knees, panting from the fighting.
Cam looked at Luna's injuries. If they were related, she and Luna would have the same healing factor. However, Luna's cuts were not healing very fast. Orysha crossed her arms, then vanished through a bat vortex. Luna then fell to the ground on her side, her cuts slowly healing. Jill got down next to her, and checked her cuts. "If you're also Dante's daughter, how come you're not healing quicker?" she asked, checking the white haired girl's slow healing. "Being half human... makes healing slower for me... Orysha's half succubus... healing factor twice as fast..." she said through pants, then later passing out. Jill didn't look too surprised, but she did remember the two girls were cousins. "So you have to be his and Mii's daughter..." she muttered. Then she stood up, and added "I'll get the first aid spray. Stay with her Cameron," she told her son, leaving the room once again.
Cam sat by Luna and held her up gently. "Ngh... Cam..." she muttered, slowly regaining consciousness. The boy smiled and hugged her gently. Jill came back with what looked like a spray bottle, but with a cross on it. "Okay Cam, hold her still," Jill told her son. Cam picked Luna up and laid her on his lap, holding her still. Luna's light green eyes looked at him, tiredly, but quickly shut her eyes when Jill started spraying her. Luna growled at the slight pain, Cam holding her closer, trying to calm her down. Once Jill finished spraying, Luna's cuts went away quicker than her healing factor would have gone. Cam let go of Luna, letting her to stand up. "Thanks ma'am..." she said, smiling a little. Cam stood up with her, and held her close to him. "I'll take her home," he said, rubbing her shoulder tenderly. "I'll go with yo-"
"Mom," Cam said, interrupting Jill. "listen. That succubus/demon girl could come back and kill Luna. And could kill you..."
"Don't worry son, I've been through a lot worse. Just... be safe,"
"...Okay."
Jill patted his shoulder. "I'll be fine sweetie. Mommy's strong," Cam was silent, but then he smiled. Jill smiled back as Cam picked up Luna like a princess. "Be safe you two!" Jill told them as they left. "We will, Mom!" Cam replied back, then he closed the door, leaving the house.
A girl in a blue coat looked at pictures of Xiangji, Barbra, Luna, Orysha, Cam, and Tao. Her brown hair was messy, but the red rose in her hair looked perfect with the green thorns, which were shaped like a bow. Her leather glove had a red remote with a black button, and a black rose keychain hanging from it. She looked at her surroundings, then nodded, knowing this was where they were. She sensed someone behind her, turned around, and as she was about to attack, she paused. There was no one there. The girl sighed and started searching for the kids on her list. What she didn't know was someone was watching her. A girl with light blue hair, fanning herself with a large fan...
To be continued...
