Chapter 14

-A Message From Kyubey-

If something is evil you must defeat it, even if it is your friend.

-End Message-

Hitomi's soul gem turned black, and her body dropped to the ground. Out of her body came a creature in a white gown. It crawled around, opening it's eyes like a newborn.

"W-What is that thing?!" Sayaka yelled.

Why don't you just give up?

An icy voice rung around Sayaka's head. It was terrifying yet… oddly hypnotic.

"No way!"

You think you can escape me? I am Bianca, the Witch of Control.

Sayaka started to move by herself. She blindly slashed at Kyouko.

"Hey! What're ya doing rookie?!"

A bullet shot above the bluenette's shoulder blade, and Sayaka was now able to control her arm, but the rest of her body was moving furiously.

"String. I should have known," Mami said pointing guns at Sayaka.

"Mami!" Sayaka screamed fearfully.

Luckily, all the shots hit the strings, freeing her.

Sayaka, thirsty for revenge, lunged at Bianca cutting pieces of her dress. Under her beautiful dress, was wood! But, it was infested with bugs and rot.

Puppets are supposed to do what they are told!

Bianca slashed at Sayaka, with razor sharp nails. She ducked down fearing the worst. A flash of red seemed to entangle the claws of the ferocious beast.

"Kyouko?" Sayaka said in confusion.

Go forth and attack, my minions!

The barrier was up and a flurry of familiars was launched at the group. But these weren't ordinary, they were wood-like people designed to resemble friends and family!

Mami saw someone she hadn't seen since the accident. She froze and was almost killed by the creatures. Sayaka arrived in a flash, and took them out.

"Where's Kyouko?"

"She told me she'd kill that thing, and we should take care of the familiars."

"Kyouko-san sure can get a little too confident." Mami said, sighing.

OuuO

I had to find this witch. This barrier… it's too fancy. There's teacups and lace everywhere. It's not really my style. I would trade this for a barrier made out of Pocky!

"Agh! Focus, Kyouko!"

I was greeted by a large door, similar to the one in my Father's chu-

No, don't think about that! I pushed open the heavy door and saw one of the most magnificent ballrooms ever. In the middle Bianca was having tea party with minions that looked like Sayaka and Madoka.

I lunged at her with my spear cutting off an arm. She shrieked and familiars came in the room. While she was whimpering in pain, I got a good look at the familiars.

"M-Momo? Dad?"

"Big Sister! Let's play together!"

"M-Momo..."

I reached for her hand, but they started burning before I could grab hold.

"Sakura-san, you are still too blunt."

A tall dark figure loomed over me.

"You're still too immature."

In a second Bianca was full of holes.

"W-wait! That was Sayaka's friend!"

"What were you planning to do?"

T-that's right… I was going to kill it but… I stopped.

W-why?

OuuO

"H-Hitomi-chan!" The little girl squealed in delight.

"I'm sorry Kaname-san but…"

"She seems to have passed away…"

It took a moment before Madoka could wrap her mind around it.

"H-H-Hitomi-chan!" Madoka wailed.

OuuO

"It seems that the MitakiMurderer was found dead last night. She was 14-year-old Hitomi Shizuki. She had no marks on her body. Police speculate that she had a heart attack."

So, you did it?

"I never said I did." Homura said coolly.

I do have a question. Were you responsible for K-

Kyubey exhaled his last breath.

Homura, holding his corpse like a prize, muttered "You have said too much."
