Arc 2 pt 3 final
It was later on in the night, and Maggy was in her room. She was pondering the day's events, remembering all of the chaos that happened, when she was struck by the evil that struck at the same time, every first night. a cycle of endless depression that would end seemingly only when her life did. Family… she thought wistfully, I have never had a true family… a grimace spread over her, planting a frown on her face, never had a brother, a safe guard against the world's hatred for me… the sad expression growing on her once happy face. Never had a sister, the one person who would understand me more than anyone, and be there through the worst of it with me… her sadness grows, Never had a father, the bearer of support and kindness. Millions of the "why?" questions flooding her head when the final seal entered her mind, intruding on her happiness and tearing her normal kind calm demeanor to shreds. …never had a mother… her eyes snapped open, filled with the emotion but one person has seen in her eyes, rage. Burning the last fragments of happiness she had like dry twigs, she let the last intruder course through her head. The one person who, gives endless wisdom. The one person who's love for you is behind only god's. The one person… who would never. Give. You. Up. Maggy was about to lash out against the nearest non-human object, trying to tear it into shreds smaller than her torn heart. But what remained of her innocence prevented her from doing so, and instead, she lay on hey bed and began to cry, for hours.
In a different part of the mansion
Luke lay in his bed, he looked to his alarm clock with eyes locked in deep concentration, 11:35 he concentrated some more, on a distant aura of sadness that began 2 hours ago. It was not intense, but it pierced through every wall and door. It was nowhere and everywhere, at the same time. This persisted until the distant sad aura, grew in power. Luke was able to read fuzzy words, only catching never and family, the depression seeping through the walls more and more. He soon picked up more words, coming in more clearly due to the power of the emotions leaking in through the ceiling. Never had brother… Something inside Luke told him the words were familiar, and the sadness began to melt slowly into rage. Never had a father, he managed to pick up along with some fuzzy words. Finally the depression melting entirely into rage, made the words crystal clear …never had a mother…it clicked, this was Maggy. The one person who, gives endless wisdom. The one person who's love for you is behind only god's. The one person… who would never. Give. You. Up. Luke grimaced, feeling the pure rage burning through the walls, then a tidal wave of sadness washed over him, "I have to help." He said in second nature, and opened the door.
The hallway was cold, but only to Luke: it was filled with the residual cold depression and poisonous sadness. He walked slowly over to Maggy's door when he heard soft weeping and knocked quietly on the door "Maggy?" he questioned in a whisper. Maggy wiped her eyes, and went over to the door. When she opened it she saw Luke standing before her, "what's wrong?" he asked with evident concern in his voice. She looked downcast at him before answering "I'm just a little sad, that's all." Luke knew better, and responded with the same level of concern and a hint of seriousness "Maggy, I could feel your rage from the other end of the mansion, what's wrong?" she glared at him mildly frustrated that he read her thoughts, and responded "It's nothing you would understand." She then added quietly while turning to reenter her room, "not that you would know what it is like not having parents." The words hit Luke in a sacred area, he responded with a depressed tone "you know, everyone here has a backstory. Not all of them are happy." Luke remembered back to his younger childhood, then cringed, not wanting to relive that year.
A brief flash lit up the room, Maggy looked outside. The moon was blocked out by storm clouds, and more lightning flashed in the distance. Distant thunder rumbled, signaling the arriving storm. Luke lifted his head, and he looked around with a serious expression, "what now?" Maggy asked confused, anything to relieve the mood. Luke shifted towards the door before speaking "clairvoyance." Maggy didn't understand what he meant, but a few seconds later she felt it too: a distant sense of somewhere she needed to go, it was a guide. It held a sense of urgency. "Can't be good, follow me." Luke stated nervously before sprinting down the hallway towards a staircase that lead to a glass door, "here," he stated quickly and scaled the stairs in three leaps, then waited for Maggy. When she got to the top, Luke opened the door and he gestured for her to come out.
They were on the rooftop of the mansion. It had a nice view of the valley and everything around it. A lone figure stood at the edge of the roof, "requiem!" Luke stated urgently "what happened? Is anything wrong?" requiem continued to stare into the storm, after a while he noticed the storm clouds were moving a bit quicker than any storm he had ever seen. Lightning flashed brighter, to anyone other than requiem they would have seen nothing, but what requiem saw pierced his heart with fear, and he emit an aura of doom, sending chills up both of the bystander's spines. With fear evident in his voice, he stated quickly "call the quartermaster." Luke nodded and put his fingers to his temples and concentrated, he then clenched his eyes shut and willed a blue shockwave to surge through the walls of the mansion. Seconds later a pillar of white light appeared rising a few feet into the air, then it flashed and disappeared, revealing the quartermaster. "What is it requiem?" he stated calmly. "A being has chased me to the ends of my homeworld, seeking to kill me. It has found me, and will do whatever it takes to destroy me, including kill everyone in the area." He then pointed to the storm clouds the size only seen in legend. Requiem turned to the quartermaster, and stated as desperately as he could "you need to evacuate every living being in this house and take what is valuable with you. Because all that will remain is a smoldering crater!" the quartermaster had experience with disaster so he knew when to listen. He nodded and called Luke over, and they discussed the matter in further detail. Requiem called Maggy over while Luke and the quartermaster were conversing, to discuss something. "Maggy, I cannot go into detail, you must remember what makes you strong, and remain strong for all of us, and you will make it through this. You will find all that you desire, your family is depending on you, we have never lost a single member, and we don't plan to." Maggy cut in and spoke "what family do I have, my mother abandoned me at birth, and I was put into the system! Just like all of the other unfortunate children!" requiem looked her in the eye, and smiled before responding "us. It is a ludicrous statement but in time you will understand this is true." A breeze went through Maggy hair and she looked to the storm, which was alarmingly close, lightning cut through the sky more and more brilliantly with each passing second. "Maggy, you must remain like your namesake, you must remain unwavering, unmoving, and adamant." She recognized the memory he just quoted, and turned to him in awe, "the name is requiem for a reason." He turned towards the storm once again.
A million questions flew through her mind running rampant like a horde of locust. She was snapped out of her thoughts, when Luke called to Maggy, "we are all set, we gotta go!" she rushed with Luke towards the staircase the wind was picking up. "meet at the main intersection!" she heard him yell, she rushed to her room to grab only what was necessary. By the time she got to her room the wind was battering the mansion, debris was flying through the air, she grabbed what she needed put it in a bag and ran. Realization hit her, she had forgotten the plush, her most valuable possession. She ran back into her room and quickly spotted it on her bed, and she picked it up and held it in her right hand as she ran. She came down the stairs to see a small group of people standing, a brilliant light was surrounding them and they were seconds from teleporting to a safe place. Even though she was running, Luke who was among the group reached out his hand and called desperately "Maggy! Take my hand!" Luke saw her getting closer but not close enough. Finally he lunged towards Maggy in hopes of taking her with him. Too late, the white light flashed blue and each of the people inside the teleporter started to phase out of existence. Maggy reached towards Luke hand only inches away, when the entirety of his being disappeared. For just a lone moment she stood there, a burning wound of betrayal and depression paralyzing her as she stare at the teleporter. A powerful voice snapped her out of her trance "GO!" it screamed, and the doorway to the supply room, burned open. The clairvoyance took over. She ran into the expansive supply room following a trail of green fire to a trapdoor that lead into the unknown. She stared at it for a moment, in hesitation. The creak of the mansion bending from the wind brought her back to reality, and she sighed knowing there was no other choice, and climbed down a ladder that lead to a winding cavern that lead downward, she didn't need to be told twice. She sprinted down the winding cavern and as she was running a rumble under her feet caused her to look back. Immediately, she wished she hadn't: stones were flying around the corner she just turned and the rumbling was getting louder, she came to a long hallway with faint torchlight ahead, she sprinted faster than she had ever sprinted before, and like a blur, bolted towards the door. with each step she took doom grew closer and closer until she reached the doorway and jumped in, the avalanche of rock just feet behind her. The doors shut. but it did not stop the rockslide; the door was busted down and rocks came rolling in, all of them stopping at her feet.
Maggy lay on the ground, exhausted. There was a doorway in front of her, her mind was keeping her paralyzed with all of the horrible details flowing like water. She was contemplating whether she should continue, or lay there; Doomed to slowly starve. her indecision was eating her from the inside out, and all she could do is weep, her circumstances convincing her of her doom, she would lay there and cry until all of her energy faded away, her life would leave this world, unnoticed to anyone but herself. wouldn't it?
Poor Maggy, it seems she has been met with a terrible fate, or has she... you will find out later ;D but for now thank you all for reading! please review when you can, and PM me if you have any questions, it helps! next chapter we will be introducing the final protagonist.
