Chapter 18

Summary:

You know how in some episodes, the main characters are only mentioned but not seen? Well this is this type of chapter. This is the first time the twins, Elias, Chise, Mitch, Noah, the Familiars, Lucifer, and Chloe are mentioned but seen.

Henri came out of the tent looking for Lindel wondering what's for breakfast. She found Angelica still looking at her sketch book.

Angelica: "Henrietta. Come sit with me."

Henri: "Ugh….God. Sure. But really. It's Henri. I'm not a fan of my first name."

Angelica: "You are like me in that way. That's why I like to be called Angie. Here I thought I was the only talented one with magical attire making but this is on a whole different level."

Henri: "You make clothes too?"

Angelica: "I dabble. Is this what you want to do?"

Henri: "In a way yeah. My mom always says I love to buy clothes and try to make clothes. She says that if you don't want to be a Necromancer like her then maybe making clothes is your talent. I hope I'm making her proud."

Angelica: (hands her her book) "Look at what you can do. I believe she will be."

Henri: (smiles) "Thank you."

Angelica: "Maybe I should take a page from Elias' book. How would you like to be my apprentice in the art of magic gear design."

Henri: "What?! Really?!"

Angelica: "Of course. Talent like that shouldn't go to waste."

Lindel: "I'm back with material."

Angelica: "Ready to bring your creation to life?"

Henri: (nods)

Back in Los Angeles, Linda had stopped by Chloe's apartment. She wanted to give Blake and Gen gifts before they went back home. When she got there, the door was broken into. Linda braced herself and went inside. She saw that the living area is trashed. She then saw what looked like abnormal looking footprints and claw marks. She couldn't reach Amenadiel or Maze. So she picked up the phone to call the only person who knows about Demons and Supernatural.

Ella: "Hey. I got your call. Dios Mio. What happened here?!"

Linda: "I don't know. Trixie was suppose to take Blake and Gen.."

Ella: "I heard of those two. They're Mitch's adopted brothers."

Linda: "Yeah. Charlie hears Mitch talk about them. She was suppose to take them to their parents.. But look! Look! Their suitcases are still here. Someone took them Ella. They took Trixie, Blake, and Gen."

Ella: "Yeah there is sign of a struggle here."

Linda: "These tracks look like monsters made them. Are they…."

Ella: "No. There's no blood. They're still alive."

Linda: "Oh thank God."

Ella: "We need to call Chloe. I heard she went to Hong Kong."

Linda: "Yeah she's with Lucifer and the twins' parents. How do we tell them that her daughter and their two sons are taken by a monster?"

Trixie held Blake and Gen as they cried over and over that they wanted to go home.

Trixie: "Don't worry. You have to be brave. Everything is going to be okay."

Blake: "I don't think I can."

Trixie: "Don't say that. You have to be brave for your family."

Blake: "Okay."

Gen: "How are you so brave Trixie?"

Trixie: "Let's just say that this isn't my first kidnapping."

Dominic comes in with a Berserker beside him. He ordered it to separate Trixie and the boys. He then grabbed the boys taking them out the room.

Trixie: "No! Leave them alone! Don't hurt them."

Dominic: "Ah. Ah. Ah. I need them for the Northern Temple."

Trixie: "Why?"

Dominic: "These boys are the key. They are the key for the treasure."

Trixie: "My stepfather is the Devil. He will make your life a living hell if you hurt the people he loves. Especially the two little boys who love his son so much."

Dominic: "Your brother is a bastard! And your stepfather is a fool. A FOOL! Falling for humans. Impregnating them! My master explained very clearly. Lucifer is a piece of work."

Trixie: "You master…?"

Dominic: "There is a long list of people in Hell that hate Lucifer. I for one am on that list. But my master. The one Lucifer imprisoned in Hell for eternity. He is at the top. He loathes Lucifer more than I. He doesn't like that Lucifer has a better life. Always been in his shadow. The shadow of the Lightbringer Samael."

Trixie: "The way you sound it sounds like you are describing one of Lucifer's siblings."

Dominic: "Well my master did something to Lucifer. A malicious thing that he did to get back at him for cutting his wings off. I want what he wants. To make your stepfather and brother pay."

Trixie: "Mitch is going to be my STEP-brother. He's not my brother."

Dominic: "Yes.. he is isn't he. Let's go boys."

Trixie: "They're not going anywhere with you!"

Dominic: "Make sure our guest is comfortable."

Blake: "Trixie!"

Gen: "Trixie help!"

Trixie: "You guys are gonna be okay. Just do what he says..."

As they left, Trixie went into the corner and cried.

Trixie: "Mom…Lucifer…..please come save us…"

Blake: "Let us go! We don't wanna go!"

Dominic: "Oh we're going. Unless you want something to happened to your little brother."

Gen: "No! Get away from me!"

Blake did not like that. Not one bit. Something came over him. He was staring daggers at Dominic as he grabbed Gen by the arm very hard. When he looked at Blake, he saw that his eyes were turning red.

Dominic: "Well well well. Something wrong with your eyes son?"

Blake: (eyes turn back to hazel)

Dominic: "Be a good boy and do what I say and your brother lives."

Blake: "Fine. Just don't hurt him.."

Dominic: "Then let's go. To the Genbu Tower."

As Dominic left the room, Blake and Gen reluctantly followed after. All they needed to do was be brave. Meanwhile back in LA, Ella and Linda were still trying to get in touch with Lucifer and Chloe.

Linda: "Have you got in touch with them?"

Ella: "No. Both of them voicemail…"

Linda: "Charlie hasn't heard from Mitch either. Maybe they're on the airplane. Maybe they all left Hong Kong and they're on their way back to London as we speak."

Ella: "The last place they need to go is London! It's dangerous over there."

Linda: "What do you mean?"

Ella: "You don't know?"

Linda: (shakes head no)

Ella: "Okay. Listen and listen good. You see England…..London….it's being under…..

(no audio)

Linda: (shocked) "Oh my God…"

Ella: "Yeah I know."

Linda: "We have to tell Lucifer and Chloe.

Back at the magic school, it had literally gone to hell. The teachers that were replaced by dark mages and evil alchemists. They were trying to use torture magic on the younger students. The evil teachers told the juniors and seniors to use dark deadly magic on the younger students. Some did what they were told while others refuse. Others weren't given much of a choice. While that was happening, Marnie and Lily watched in resentment.

Lily: "What do we do Marnie?"

Marnie: "What do you mean?"

Lily: "Headmaster Asher has gotten rid of every teacher in every Class. Every Fae Teacher and even the Cats at the dorms were scared away. He's taken control of everything now."

Marnie: "How do you know that?"

Lily: "My Familiar Nagini."

Marnie: "Oh right. Your new snake Familiar you got months ago. Well you're not the only person that found something out about this guy. My vampire bat Edward found something out as well."

Lily: "Yeah?"

Marnie: "He followed Asher to England. To the Ainsworth House. You won't believe what he did to the place. He was staking out to see if they came back yet. But they didn't. He was there with Fire Beasts. They…."

Lily: "No… No! They didn't…"

Marnie: "They burnt their home to the ground….."

Lily: 'What an awful thing to do. How horrible…."

Marnie: "We need to nab one of those teachers and make them talk."

Lily: "We can't! We don't want to draw any more attention to Mitch, the twins, and their families. And when did you start caring?"

Marnie: "What?"

Lily: "Last time I check, you were very clear. You made it seem like you hated them but now giving the circumstances, you are beginning to worry about Mitch and the twins. You really miss them, don't you?"

Marnie: (puts hands on her mouth) "Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up!"

Lily: "So you do care! You love them and you miss them."

Marnie: "Say a word to them, I WILL KILL YOU….."

Announcer: "STUDENTS PLEASE REPORT TO THE AUDITORIUM FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT."

Marnie: "Somethings up."

Lily: "So what do we do?"

Marnie: (balls up her fists)

Students: (CLAMORING)

Boy: "What's going on now?"

Ashen Eyes: "Listen up everyone. I am not here with fortunate news. Dues to the recent attacks in London, I have plan to induct some of the students with the recent staff. Now stand in line so you can get a sigil. This sigil will mark you and you will find your new master with that same mark. I'm sorry but we are going to have to close down the academy until further notice."

As a student got in line to have the mark placed on his wrist, Marnie then recognized that symbol. She used electricity blast to separate them.

Marnie: "I know that symbol! That drains the magic source from your bodies! Headmaster Asher is trying to take our magic away!"

Students: (GASPING)

Girl: "That's not fair!"

Ashen Eyes: "…."

Boy: "Where is Professor Ainsworth?!"

Girl: "Headmaster Ainsworth would not support this!"

Ashen Eyes: "On the contrary. Headmaster Ainsworth supports this wholeheartedly. I just spoken to him not long ago.

Lily: "Mr. Ainsworth would not agree to that."

Marnie: "How so?"

Lily: "Because he's a good man. He's not even a man. He is like us. He's different. Taking away our magic is not something he would do. That is wrong on so many levels. YOU ARE A LIAR! THIS IS WRONG!"

Students: (looking at Lily)

Marnie: "Lil….be quiet…."

Lily: "You haven't spoken with the Headmaster! You drove him and the Ainsworth family away so you can take over the school! And it's not just that! HE SET THEIR HOME ON FIRE!"

Students: (FRIGHTENED CLAMORING)

Lily: "I bet Headmaster Ainsworth doesn't even know who you are! And that's not all! The attack on England! You're behind that as well!"

Students: (Murmuring)

Lily: "YOU'RE A MONSTER!"

Ashen Eyes: "Young Gorgon. You are obviously disturbed. Delusional. Take her away."

Teacher: "Let's go kid."

Marnie: "Come on! Come near her. I dare you dipshit."

Another Teacher: "You're coming with us too!"

Marnie: "Hey!"

Lily: "Marnie!"

Just then the older students got in front of Lily and Marnie and used their magic to make them let go of them.

Senior boy: "Back off you tyrant!"

Senior girl: "This ends now!"

Ashen Eyes: "You two are making my job very difficult. Take them. Take them ALL!"

Some of the juniors and seniors held on to the little kids. The other students watched in fear as more evil teachers started rounding them all up. Some of the teachers took a few 2nd and 3rd graders away. As a lot of them got closer to Lily and Marnie, they brace themselves. Then suddenly, blue flames came out of nowhere and separated the teachers from the students. Then the students attacked to get the teachers to let go of the little kids. They wouldn't budge. Suddenly a knife came at a teacher wounding him. then loud gunshots frightened the students. Through the flames, a few silhouettes moved grabbing students and taking them away.

Marnie: "LEAVE THEM ALONE!"

?: "Come with me!"

Marnie and Lily saw a boy about their age wearing what looked like a College uniform. Marnie was reluctant but she saw Lily take his hand. So she went with them. When they got out of the hallway, Marnie confronted him, throwing him at the lockers.

Lily: "Marnie! Stop! He saved us!"

Marnie: "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?! TELL ME NOW!"

?: "Chill out you crazy goth chick! I saved your life!"

Marnie: "Tell me now or I'll swear the God I will turn you inside out!"

?: "Will! Where are you?"

Will: "Over here Mom."

Just then a woman with short blonde hair wearing a red hoodie showed up. They looked and saw what looks like a black figure in a blue cloak carrying a pole with a lantern.

?: "Alice? Will?"

Alice: "Over here Mikhail."

Lily: "Oh my God. What happened to your arm and face? Did the bad teachers hurt you?"

Renfred: "These didn't happen during the attack. Are you two alright?"

Lily: "We're fine. Thank you so much." (gasps) "A Will of the Wisp! They are real!"

Blue Flame: "No using my real name child!"

Alice: "He doesn't like it. Calm down Blue.."

Blue Flame: "Children these days. Hmph!"

Lily: "He's so cute."

Blue Flame: "Now see here!"

Marnie: "Hey stop making friends with strangers! Who are you people?!"

Alice: "I'm Alice. This is my husband. This is my Familiar. And the boy you're about to strangle is our son."

Renfred: "We're acquaintances of the Ainsworths."

Lily: "Woah really? How are they? Do you know where they are now?"

Renfred: "They have been MIA for months. We don't know where they are…"

Lily: "Oh…"

Alice: "Hey blondie. You kinda remind me of someone I know."

Lily: "Oh. I do?"

Alice: "Yeah. Who are your folks?"

Lily: "Well my mother is gone but my father is Zoe Ivey."

Alice: "Zoe?! I thought that hair and those eyes looked familiar! I know your dad. We were in school together."

Renfred: "Talk later sweetie.."

Alice: "Right! Right! Come with us."

Marnie: "What about the other kids. We can't just leave them back there.."

Renfred: "I have allies helping. They'll meet us along the way. Let's go."

Will: "Can you let me go?"

Marnie: "Right. Sorry.."

Once they got to an abandoned building not far from the school, they went inside. Marnie and Lily saw that the inside was looking like some infirmary. They also saw that most of the students were safe. But not all of them.

Lily: "Those other teachers must still have the other students. I don't see them."

Marnie: "Headmaster Asher must still have them in the auditorium. Who the hell is this guy?! What does he even want."

Rian: "Well for one thing, he's not even human."

Lily: "Professor Scrimgeour! You're alright."

Rian: "Yes. I'm alright. They were about to kill me when Professor Renfred and Alice came and save me. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them."

Lucy: "Turns out there's a lot about this headmaster you don't even know about."

Marnie: "M-Mother?"

Lucy: "I see you are taking care of yourself and your friends. Good job."

Marnie: "Uh…yeah… Wait! Back up to Headmaster Asher not being human. What the heck is he?!"

Renfred: "He's an ancient creature that finds amusement in people's despair."

Alice: "And he's been terrorizing Elias, Chise, and their family for years…"

Marnie: "No…..no no no no no…."

Lucy: "What's wrong with you Marnie?"

Marnie: "The new Headmaster….."

Lily: "IS ASHEN EYES?!"

Will: "You heard of him?"

Marnie: "The twins father told Mitch's Devil daddy the legend."

Alice: "What legend?"

Lily: "That Emma and Evelynn are suppose to merge into one being and fight Ashen Eyes to save the world. With their Familiars' help."

Renfred: "The Children of the Four Symbols?"

Marnie: "That and some mysterious Beast of the Center. Emma and Evelynn are the Chosen Ones. That's why they disappeared along with their parents and Mitch."

Alice: "Chise never told me any of this…"

Renfred: "I guess she wanted to protect you from him.."

Alice: "Still I'm her best friend! She could have confided in me about all this."

Renfred: "The same goes for that idiot bonehead."

Lucy: "She has not changed one bit… That red haired fool.."

Rian: "Yep. Still caring about protecting others even if it will cause her her life."

Lily: "Marnie! Henri knew as well! That's what she was talking about when she left. That's what she was doing. She was going to find help! She is going to the twins to help them."

Marnie: "Mhm."

Will: "So what do we do about the others?"

Renfred: We save them son. Then we have to leave this place. There has to be another safe haven to put all these kids."

Lily: "Ooooh! I know a place!"

Marnie: "Where?"

Lily: "Where it all began. It's in London."

Alice: "London England is on lockdown."

Lily: "Yeah he said something about that. Was he behind that too?"

Renfred: "According to Torrey and Adolf. Ashen Eyes brought every horror. Every dark creature and evil deity to London."

Marnie and Lily: "WHAT?!"

Will: "Lizard humanoids. Cockatrices. Basilisks.. Evil yokais and demons from every faerie tales and legend from all over the world."

Lily: "Did they kill people?"

Alice: "Only the ones that wouldn't go willingly. It was horrible."

Lily: "There is a way to get the other students from the auditorium and take them to the other place in London."

Marnie: "What part of Lizard humanoids, Cockatrices, and Basilisks do you not get?"

Lily: "I know! I know. But I know about this place. I know how we can sneak over there undetected. You're gonna have to trust me. Please Marnie."

Marnie: (looks at Lucy)

Lucy: (nods)

Marnie: "Alright! Alright! We got one plan on getting out of here. Now what about the other with getting the other kids out of there?"

Renfred: "Leave that to me." (cocks gun)

Lucy: "That place will be heavily guarded. How are you gonna get pass them?"

Lily: "I'm sure Marnie can handle them."

Marnie: "I could use some help. You game?"

Will: "Oh yeah. Big Time."

Alice: "Looks like we got ourselves a plan."

Lily: "Yeah we do! This is my favorite part!"

When they got back inside, they saw a few teachers blocking the auditorium. Renfred came out by himself with his gun ready.

Renfred: How about moving out the way so I can get the rest of those kids."

Teacher: "Headmaster's order as he left. To keep all children captive here until he returns from London."

Teacher: "He's the one that helped the other children escape! Kill him!"

Renfred: "You do not want to mess with me."

Teacher: (scoffs) "You have one arm you scarred freak."

Teacher: "Yeah you think you can get all of us by yourself?"

Renfred: "Who said I was by myself?"

More students came from behind him and they were ready to fight.

Teacher: "Get them all!"

The teachers and students attacked each other. While they were fighting, Lily, Marnie, and Will went inside. Once they got in, they saw some of the students fighting while some were healing wounds. Marnie and Will started attacking the teachers. While that was happening, Lily went over to get the little kids. She was distracted. One of the teachers attacked her. She groaned for a bit but then suddenly she was lifted up and in pain. The teacher grabbed her by the hair.

Lily: "Aah!"

Marnie: "Lily!"

Teacher: "Do not come any closer. I will kill her. Now stand down."

Marnie: "Let her go!"

Will: "Don't be stupid!" (grabs her)

Teacher: "Listen to him girl. Don't be stupid be smart. You two are going to be taking away. If you cooperate, I will let the freak go. If you don't, my hand will slip and slit her th-Wh-What?! What…What am I holding?!"

Marnie and Will looked and saw the teacher holding what he thought was hair. It wasn't hair. It was a snake! Lily's eyes started to glow.

Marnie: "Lil?"

She made the teacher look at her. The teacher was entranced. He looked closer and closer at her then just like that, Lily's hair became all snakes! Marnie told everyone to close their eyes. Lily turned all the evil teachers to stone! More teachers came in to see what had happened. Lily stoned them all. Renfred and Alice saw then quickly looked away and the other students kept their eyes shut.

Marnie: (looks the other way) "Lily! That was awesome! You finally got your snakes!"

Lily: "Wait till I tell Dad!" (turns to hug Marnie)

Marnie: "No no no no no no no! Put those things away! I don't want to get bitten!"

Lily: "Uh….I don't think I know how…."

Marnie: "Yeah well until you do, keep away from me."

Elsewhere, Trixie was looking out the window. Suddenly the door flew open. She stood up to brace herself. But then Blake and Gen came in running towards her and Trixie hugged them both.

Trixie: "Thank goodness you're both safe!"

Dominic: "You should be proud of them. They did exactly what they were told."

Trixie: "What do you expect? You threatened them! So. You have what you want? Do you have the treasure?"

Dominic: "It's a beautiful star isn't it?"

Trixie: "Gorgeous. Now let us go!"

Dominic: "Oh no. I'm not through with all of you. Not yet. I need the whole set if I am to gain access to the Hidden Temple."

Trixie: "You're crazy if you think Mitch and the twins will just willingly hand you the other stars."

Dominic: "You make a good point. You are right. I'll admit that. But the thing is, I have someone on the inside. Someone very VERY CLOSE to Mitch is going to hand them to me personally. I need you three for another reason. Soon your stepbrother is going to wish that he should've taken my life in Hell last year. Soon he will know that I have his precious baby brothers and his newly gain stepsister. He'll come to your rescue. You are all bait. And that isn't all. (takes out Demon Blade)

Trixie: "You're going to kill him!"

Dominic: "Oh I am. But not the way you think. On the inside is how I'll kill him. I am going to take away the one thing that makes him sane. Kill the one thing that makes him feel loved. I am not talking about his father."

Trixie: "Evelynn! No!"

Blake: "Don't touch my sister!"

Dominic: "I will take her away from him just like I took his mother away."

Trixie: "You're a monster…"

Dominic: "What was your first clue? Then he will know what it feels to be broken. To feel pure rage. The people he loves have him on a leash. They rally around him to make him feel not so alone. I will take that away from him. He is like his father. There was a time that Lucifer felt so alone. He had nothing but anger. This was when your mother finally saw his TRUE face. He saw that she was horrified by it. I feel he is the same way. You may not know this but I too sense that same anger. That same darkness hidden inside the young Lord. I intend to let it out. If a monster exists, it is buried beneath waiting to be unleashed. And what better way to do that than kill his precious beloved Evelynn. Then HE will beg me to kill him."

Trixie: "Don't underestimate my stepbrother. It's just as you said. He's like Lucifer. And if he's anything like the Devil, HE WILL TAKE YOU DOWN.."

Dominic: (snickering) "Exactly what I am counting for."

Back at the Aerie, Henri finally rests after putting the final touches on the clothes.

Angelica: "Excellent work. I knew I made the right choice to have you as my apprentice."

Henri: "It's even better than how I drew it. Thank you, Ms. Angelica."

Angelica: "Oh no lass. This. This is all you. And please. Call me Angie."

Lindel: (looks at the outfits) "Oh my this is very…. They look remarkable."

Angelica: "Right?"

Lindel: "And I have the twins' new staffs right here. Hopefully someone in Mitch's family will give him a new weapon to wield. Well, are we all set?"

Henri: "All set?"

Lindel: "It's time to head out."

Henri: "Where?"

Angelica: "To London. Althea filled me in. It's blimey groggy over there Henri. You'll need to stick with us."

Henri: (nods) "When we get there, I know a place where we can lay low."

Angelica: "Good. Cause it's time to find Ains and his family."

In London, there were all types of dark creature taking and killing everyone. Ashen Eyes was watching as everything was coming into fruition. He then looked at the sky. Pass the evil dragons and eyeball creatures and he looked directly at the moon.

Ashen Eyes: "Soon. Very very very soon."
