I thought that if I acted fast I could get the better of him, but he was one step ahead.
Twilight continued taking her inventory of the guests, knowing that escape wouldn't be possible without at least one alley.
After a few hours, she realized how tired she was and made her way back to her room. Before she could reach her room though, he heard a familiar chant.
"Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgment Boy! Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgment Boy!"
The sound of the chant sent a chill down Twilight's spine. She turned and saw the shadow the living scale was casting from around the corner.
Twilight was tired, scared, and had no desire to face Judgment Boy again. She contemplated turning and running away, but there was nowhere to go. Anywhere she went, Judgment Boy could follow. Not to mention she didn't have enough energy.
But Twilight decided she didn't want to consult the balance of truth again, at least not until she'd had some sleep.
Twilight could hear Judgment Boy getting closer. Could I make it to my room? She wondered, but shook her head. Her room was too far, Judgment Boy would reach her before she made it.
"Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgment Boy! Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgment Boy!"
I have to do something, She thought as the chanting grew closer still, Maybe if I act fast, without thinking, I can make it to where he can't judge me.
Twilight was conscious of the fact that that didn't make any sense, but few things in Gregory House did. Twilight approached the corner slowly. "Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgment Boy! Do you know, who I am? They call me-" Twilight fired an incredibly powerful blast of magic energy, believing that she could damage Judgment Boy enough so that she could escape.
But when she looked to the ground in front of her, Clock Master laid there, badly wounded from Twilight's attack.
Other guests gathered to see the damaged time ruler. "Daddy!?" Clock Master's son wailed when he saw him.
"I-I don't…" Twilight started. "Judgment now!"
Twilight spun around to see Judgment Boy behind her. She turned just in time to see the glowing pink heart shatter on the floor.
"You chose to strike brashly, lashing out with blind fury. As a result, an innocent man was harmed. It was your choice, now you have to live with it. "Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgment Boy! Do you know, who I am? They call me Judgment Boy!"
Twilight stood there, feeling empty and broken, like the remains of the glowing heart on the floor. No matter what I do, they always win. How am I going to get out of here?
