Friday 28 September 2018, Cavendish family mansion, Edinburgh, Scotland
That week was marked by Hellene giving the first trip out of the UK, going accompanied by her girlfriend and also one of the maids of the house because she is still a minor, she went to the city of San Francisco, where she will spend a few days, not only in filming that she planned to do, but also in some Skateboard championships, which will leverage even more the career of the young girl that is already being talked about around the world for the ability that she had.
At the mansion, meanwhile, things were kind of moving along in this part of investigating Olivia, so
Diana and Akko were getting their eyes and ears on this part, to try to know if they were going to act and that's where they ended up indirectly discovering that on Friday night, there was going to be the sting that Laura, Bernadette, Chariot and Croix intended to do.
21:00
The four older ones gather the meeting room, kind of at that time also with Constanze's help, the younger ones were kind of watching the older ones not to be left behind since there were many chances that they were going to do something without the girls knowing.
" Olivia is with Charlotte " Chariot said.
" Now we'll just wait for her to get to the place and then we'll follow her " said Laura who was watching on the screen.
At that time it was being well when Margareth called herself to the place, she was walking stealthily until she reached the wall with a false bottom, where she passed to the side and was walking in the middle of the dark corridor, to her room, which Croix signalled saying that it was the moment for them to do it.
" Let's go! " Said Laura who even went so far as to put a comb on a pistol.
" Are you going armed? " Bernadette said in shock.
" You never know, I'll leave it hidden in case we need to use it, it's going to be Margaret " McLaren said putting it in a holster hidden on her shoulder.
" I hope we don't have to use this against Olivia and it's just a misunderstanding, but come on " Cavendish said.
Prepared, the four started to walk through the corridors, near the wall there were Amanda, Diana and Akko, the three decided to go on their own, since they didn't have Hellene or Marianne at the time, they went using a headset where they communicated with Sucy and Constanze who were in control of the cameras nearby.
[They are coming, already stay hidden].
The trio is inside a room with the door almost open leaning where they are facing where the door is, and they go already hearing the slow steps coming, in the biggest stealth the four oldest arrived to the false bottom.
They open it with a key that they had in the sheaf and with that they go to the other side, entering through the corridor and starting the way in the dark corridors.
" They went in " Diana said.
The three younger girls make their way to the wall only to notice the presence of the key, which Cavendish pulls out a hairpin, handing it to Amanda, who stands with her arms sort of crossed.
" Just because I'm a bit naughty you think I know how to pick a lock with a hairpin? " Whispers O'Neill.
" Don't stuff it Amanda, do you know or not? " Cavendish asks.
" Of course I know, but not because of my naughtiness, I learned that a while ago, now let's go " The salmon"coloured hair was kind of carefully opening the lock, even taking some time.
Meanwhile on the inside, the four older ones kind of observed the whole labyrinth, a little different from what they filmed with the robots, as if everything had changed, they walked along the walls and noticed the different pattern.
" Is this the same room we went to last time? " Laura asks.
" This is very strange, I think she has taken us to another corridor, but still let's just follow, we are already here," said Chariot.
" I have a bad feeling about this place " Bernadette whispers.
" We all are," Croix said.
They go following by the dark corridors, what kind of confuse them by the strange way where they are passing, what soon they go continuing by the strange sinuous way, that seemed to have something very strange around.
The trio was soon finishing doing the job of unlocking the door, what with this they go entering in the corridors, looking by the dark corridors.
[Good luck girls]
" I wonder where they went? " Akko asks.
In Margareth's room she sort of demonstrated using magic until she stopped doing it with Laura and Bernadette, she sort of switched to using it with Diana, Akko and Amanda, while the others sort of walked down the hall.
" Okay now I've managed to roll them up, thinking they were in the biggest maze, but all I did was make them walk and loop, now I'm going to do it with the three little girls who can't get here " Ford said.
" You are cruel Margaret," Olivia said.
" I know I am, but she'll be here soon " Said the brown haired one continuing to use magic.
At this the younger ones were walking strangely in a loop through the different corridors of the mansion, at least in the part of the secret passages, thinking that they are going somewhere else, which was different on the side of the four older ones.
They were soon noticing that there was a light, arriving right at a hallway where they then found themselves facing the living room, where there was Olivia sitting with little Charlotte in her arms.
" Olivia, what are you doing here with our Charlie?" asks Chariot.
" What are you doing here? " asks the maid, showing a little fear.
" I ask the same, you take our daughter to a hidden room, how are we going to be able to trust that no harm our daughter will suffer " Croix said already changing his tone of voice.
" I'm sorry Mrs Croix and Mrs Chariot, I had no choice, get Charlie, get out of here! " Said the maid who quickly hands the child into her mothers arms, feeling a bit of a shock in her neck.
The four of them got weird, then they were trying to walk outside, but a huge gate fell in front of them, but only Laura, Bernadette and Croix with little Charlotte could pass to the other side, what ended up with Chariot being left on the other side, since she helped them all to propel out.
Besides that, there was another magic where Diana, Akko and Amanda were trying to go through the way, but when they pass through the magic portal they fall in the outside of the mansion.
" What? What the fuck is this? The whole place is cursed! " Diana said, getting up.
" We have to use magic in there, or else we'll end up here," Amanda said.
" Let's go! They're going to kill my mothers! " Said the desperate Cavendish rushing to the mansion.
At this time the three youngest go in desperation trying to enter the mansion, but everything was locked, what they were trying to find a way to enter, using a little magic they were sort of climbing the mansion trying to find a window, where they entered through one of the rooms facing Rita and Abigail playing videogames.
" What are you doing here? " asks Campos.
" It's a long story, we'll tell it later," Kagari said and then ran out of there with her friends, to which both girls kind of shrugged.
In the bedroom things got tense, the huge gate was complicated to break, so the solution was for Croix to take little Charlotte to her room, while Bernadette and Laura were trying somehow to break down the thick gate, even using magic to open it.
On the other side Chariot was also trying to do the same, but nothing was working, until Margaret appeared, showing up.
" Did you really think I would leave the scene? " Said Ford who then used his finger halfway through the gate, right at the time when the two wives strike a blow and at that point the two are transported outside the mansion.
" You?" said a startled Du Nord.
" Heh, did you really think I wouldn't keep an eye on you? I was just waiting for the right time to act," Benson said.
" What do you want with us? " said the red"haired one.
" Ah, that's simple, I just want Bernadette's genetics, but until she comes, I think I can give you a history lesson, Chariot Du Nord," said the English girl, taking a revolver from her pocket and putting a bullet inside the comb.
" Are you going to kill us? " Said the Frenchwoman who was getting up, but soon in a snap of her fingers the brown woman uses a spell to come up with rings that bind her body leaving her unable to move.
" Don't be disobedient, then I'll start the first round of Russian roulette " said the witch aiming the revolver at the head of the red-eyed girl but luckily no shot comes.
Meanwhile Akko, Diana and Amanda were running desperately through the corridors of the mansion, to where the corridor is, to the passage that was left open, which they actually left and in this they were running using magic in the corridor, so as not to be transported, until they came across the huge gate.
" How will we get to the other side? " Akko asks.
" That way," said Amanda, who ran off to pick up momentum and then used magic on her own feet to propel herself into a two"footed flying machine that touched the gate and carried her outside the mansion.
" Shit! " Atsuko said.
" She used some kind of spell to keep us from opening it, we have to find a way to break that spell," Cavendish said.
The two went sort of looking through the gate, this while Laura and Bernadette went running to the inside of the mansion, they sort of entered through one of the downstairs doors, already in the aggressive, where McLaren broke down one of the doors.
On the other side of the gate Chariot was getting kind of scared, while Margareth was intimidating her.
" Well come on, I think they are already trying to break the gate more times, if they find a way to break the curse I won't even tell you a story," Ford said.
" What kind of story? It's not enough that you're playing Russian roulette with my life " said the outraged Du Nord.
" This is a story of a frightened little girl, who went into hiding to stop a very important plan, which would be part of the reconstruction of this other girl here who is on the floor crying... You may not remember, but I'll make your mind clear," Benson said, snapping her fingers.
Which she ended up revealing to be in an outfit very similar to that person who invaded the Du Nord family residence when the massacre occurred with everyone left, the shock was huge through the eyes of the Frenchwoman who ended up having a flashback of the whole vision of the past, so much so that the brownish woman gives another trigger with the revolver and still doesn't shoot anything, which even affects the psychological of the Frenchwoman, so afterwards the witch snaps her fingers returning to normal.
" You! Are you the person who killed everyone in my family? It wasn't the cultists? Was it you? " Said the frightened and devastated red haired woman who then saw another shotgun blast where the bullet didn't come out.
" That's three shots already, wow, you held up well in luck and so many questions, but I'll answer, before you die, no I have no connection with those cultists, I only killed everyone in your family to cleanse this world of their rotten lineage, also because you have Cavendish genes, they would be useful for the rebuilding of Diana, that's why I made sure to use your genes and souls to make her " Said Margareth picking Olivia up from the ground crying by her hair and showing her to Du Nord who looks well into the girl's watering eyes.
" I am so sorry, it was not my fault that I came this way, this woman is a monster, kill me please " Said the nanny who was then thrown to the ground.
" So it was all real? Diana was sure that there was another and that you defied all the laws of nature... But why all this? Why do you want to do this thing, at the cost of other lives? " Said Chariot who then saw Margareth engaging the gun and no shot coming out.
" Because she's a madwoman! She wants me to be her wife forever, she never accepted the fact that Diana loved Louise Du Nord and since then she's been in this fixation wanting me to come back to life to satisfy her ego desires... " On the spot the poor girl was electrocuted by the shock collar while Ford flashed a smile.
" Not so well explained, but I say, I want to have Diana for myself, I want to grow up and have my family by her side, you don't know how much suffering it was for me... I have been through the worst, I have suffered a lot, I want what is rightfully mine, have I had to hurt people along the way? I have, but it's not my fault if they were necessary for my plan " Benson said.
Meanwhile in the corridor, Diana and Akko were trying their best to get through the gate, until Croix, Laura and Bernadette appeared to help them open the gate.
" I'm not going to say anything about you guys sticking your nose into this issue, but I appreciate your help," McLaren said.
" It must be because Chariot's life is in danger, I warned Mum! I warned you she was Diana! " Said the younger Cavendish.
" I'm sorry, I just didn't want to risk your lives," said the redheaded mother.
" Let's focus on saving Chariot, the rest we can discuss later," said the older Cavendish.
At this time they all agree with their heads, they start to concentrate their magic, sort of uniting to go release a powerful spell, they go hand in hand breathing deeply, focusing the spell with the necessary magic power, enough to open and break the gate, but at the time of shooting together with hand in hand. They end up being carried to the outside, besides hearing what sounded like the sound of a shot, but at the time they thought it was just the sound of a spell.
" What the fuck! She made a magic seal on the gate, we're always going to be transported out here, if we keep this up, we'll go another way " Diana said in frustration.
" I know one, let's go over the top, we'll find exactly where it is on top of the bedroom ceiling and we'll fall using a magic bubble until we reach the floor, for sure we'll end up in the bedroom, then we'll sort out the repairs " Laura said.
" Let's go! " The five of them said, walking towards the inside and on the way they met Amanda.
Before the spell was cast by the girls, there was still an argument between Chariot and Margareth, who was already noticing that the girls were all together there, the Du Nord was already devastated, crying, until she decided to ask one last question.
" And is it all going to be worth it? Don't you see how all this cruelty has corrupted you, how you'll never have a chance with Diana, because you let yourself be corrupted by evil, have you ever stopped to think that if you really loved Diana, you'd let her be happy, you'd care more about that... If you really love someone, you don't keep wanting something out of pure narcissism, she was happy with Louise, which she never was with you, I'm sorry if you can never get the chance to try, but you could get over it with someone else, none of this would happen, you just caused the worst for everyone around, Even if you get Diana and suppose she'll love you, you'll be in another world that you yourself helped to destroy, nobody will like you, you yourself won't, you've become a detestable person.
" Ohhhhhh, I'm sorry, I think that was your last question, right when they tried to save you, too bad the gate stopped them, too bad that even so you now have a hole in your chest and it's just a matter of time to die, but I'll answer you, it'll be worth every second, because I'm still going to clean everyone around, I don't care if I don't have anyone by my side if I have Diana, I don't care if no one from my past is alive, because I hate those people and I'm thankful they're dead today, so yes, it's worth it too much, I know I'll make it," Ford said confidently, while looking at poor Chariot crying.
" I love you... Croix... Charlotte. I don't think I'll have time to say goodbye to you guys, it was kind of a half... way to go... I love you guys. Finish her off... " Said Chariot who was vomiting blood as Margaret sort of went about loading the revolver.
From afar the girls were entering the mansion and shots were heard afterwards, what made them even more desperate and they all started running, especially Croix who was desperate until she got close to the gate, the other girls were following her and with that Akko decided to take a measure that he remembered with his staff, but it was too late, the damage had already been done.
Olivia was caught in the act, found out about what she was doing with poor Charlotte, but that it was really no big deal, apart from keeping the child safe, but that it was also all bait to lure none other than Margareth herself to carry out her evil deeds, even more so in relation to Chariot who cannot escape her clutches.
See you, caught witches...
