Chapter 5: The Honeymoon Begins….?
Alternate Title: Everything Goes On!
"Its official! Anne and Darcy are officially unified, but just how long will this union last? What will Anne's true fate be now that she and Darcy are an item?"
Previously
"Oh you'll love it Savisa and I'll make sure of that." Darcy continued as a creepy smile crept onto her face that made the guardian take a step back from her.
"Let us continue." Andrias continued as he opened the book in his hands. "Darcy, do you take…"
Andrias's thought was cut short by Darcy quickly speaking up.
"Since no one has the guts to object, I take Savisa as my wife, life partner, and most of all, my second in command." Darcy spoke rather quickly. "And Savisa takes me, Darcy, as her master and life partner who she shall serve without any objections, rejections, and recourse on her behalf! She will serve me and ONLY me so long as she lives!"
"Wait a minute, I didn't…" Anne began, but was cut off by Darcy slapping on the big control collar around her neck and just as quickly, the small control collars on her wrists. A chain appeared between the two shackles on her wrists and linked both together.
"I may now kiss my Savisa! I DO!" Darcy happily screamed as she yanked on the chain attached to her wrist to pull Anne closer and slammed her lips onto the thai teen's lips. While the lips pressed against hers were Marcy's, the kiss would have been more enjoyable if she weren't kissing a ton of depraved souls living within her best friend's body and she were ACTUALLY kissing Marcy! Feeling Anne pushing her away, Darcy ended the kiss and caught sight of her new wife wiping the kiss from her lips.
Giggling at the sight of Anne wiping her mouth as if she ingested poison, the eyes of Darcy's helmet lit up, informing the ruler that intruders were on the castle's premises. A dark smile formed on Darcy's face at the announcement.
"Well, well, well, we have company." Darcy eerily spoke as she turned to Andrias. "Looks like we have a bit of an announcement to make to our well wishers."

Boonchuy Residence 1 year ago at a sleep over
The window facing out onto the street was open as the warm night air seeped into the room with a hint of humidity. The full moon was shining above with its beams lighting up the clear night sky. The open window led into the room of Anne Boonchuy, Los Angele's most well-known athlete. The movie War of the Warlocks was playing on her small twenty-inch tv screen as popcorn was splayed about on the blue carpet by the bed. Domino was asleep next to the empty bowl, having stolen a few kernels after the popped corn spilled from the bowl.
Giggles rang out in the room that caught with Domino's sensitive ears while Marcy and Anne were laid about in Anne's bed as Marcy regaled Anne with tales of her week in school. Anne listened intently as she hung onto Marcy's every word, a slight blush crossed her cheeks as she continued listening to the girl.
"So the chess captain had to correct the new comer who thought that the bishops on the chess board were the most important piece in the game." Marcy continued with excitement in her voice. "That rookie found out that the most important part was the Queen! I mean who doesn't know that? Ah.. rookies am I right?"
With her face propped up in the cusp of her right hand as her elbow rested on the pillow beneath her, Anne continued listening to Marcy with her words going in one ear and out the other. Anne was mostly focused on the girl in front of her, her facial features, the pitch in her voice, the way she gestured her hands when speaking. Staring into the girl's black/hazel orbs as she continued rattling on about the chess club, Anne felt herself becoming enthralled by the sight of her best friend, a feeling arising within her that she felt before, but was easily able to ignore. The feeling felt much more intense in that moment, which made pushing that feeling away that much harder that time around.
"So I sat back and watched the match while the rookie continued trying to use pieces that could not move on the board so easily." Marcy continued as she laid on her back, continuing her story while waving her hands to express herself. "I felt so bad for that poor kid and I wanted to help him so badly, but rules are rules. First rule of Chess club, know the rules of Chess Club."
Not hearing a word from the thai teen upon finishing her story, Marcy looked over at Anne, who was staring intensely at the Taiwanese girl. Sitting up in confusion, Marcy slowly waved her hand in front of Anne's face to get the girl's attention.
"Anne." Marcy called out to her friend as she snapped her fingers in the thai's face. "Hey Anne, is anyone home?"
Hearing the snapping, Anne came back to earth as she blinked her eyes and refocused her vision on Marcy.
"Hey, you ok there?" Marcy inquired curiously. "You haven't said a word about what I told you. Normally you'd have a come back of some sort."
"Um yea." Anne nervously spoke as she turned away, a deep blush spreading quickly across the girl's face. "Just got lost in your story for a minute."
"Oh, ok." Marcy nervously chuckled as she looked away from her best friend and to the ceiling of the bedroom. "You know what Anne, I've always found speaking to you about these things very easy. I feel like I can never share my stories with Sasha without her ignoring me and saying what I'm talking about isn't important. She does that a lot and while I never tell her this, that really bothers me. She wants me to be interested in the things she does so we can have something to talk about and truth is, I'm not interested in make up, cheerleading or even cat calling guys like she does. You're the only one who ever listens and that makes me feel good you know?"
Listening intensely at how Marcy described Sasha's "friendship", Anne's anger quickly bubbled to the surface.
"And I hate it when she does that to you!" Anne suddenly blurted out, waking up Domino and catching Marcy by surprise. "Doesn't she think you matter to her? She calls us all best friends, but her definition of best friend is different than what a best friend truly is!"
Still surprised by the thai's sudden outburst, Marcy nervously chuckled once more.
"Gosh Anne." Marcy softly spoke as she looked down as her green socked feet. "I didn't mean to upset you. It just bothers me when Sasha does that is all. She's still a good person."
"Sasha is a good person, no doubt." Anne continued as well. "But the way she ignores you and what you say, it's infuriating! Yes, Sasha has looked out for us and I'm not going to take that from her, but when she's not protecting us, she's bossing us around because she thinks she can. I like the stories you tell Marcy and how excited you get for them. No, I don't like your stories, I love them and Sasha's loss if she doesn't!"
A blushing smile crept onto the bashful girl's face as she turned back to Anne.
"If Sasha doesn't get to see and know who the real Marcy Wu is, then that's her loss." Anne calmly stated as she released a heavy sigh. "Because I know who Marcy is. A sweet, shy, perfect version of herself who has the cutest laugh and an even cuter smile."
The blush on Marcy's face grew deeper making the girl's face tomato red. The smaller girl's frame froze in place as the thai crept closer to her on the bed.
"Her laugh is contagious and is music to my ears when I hear it." Anne stated in a near whisper as she moved closer to Marcy, the Taiwanese girl becoming much more nervous at the distance rapidly closing between she and Anne. As the thai drew closer, Marcy felt her body relax while anticipating what was coming next, sensing Anne's calm energy spill into her anxious force field. The gap between the two girls closed as Anne pressed her lips gently onto Marcy's with Marcy welcoming Anne's incredible energy.
Lifting her lips from her target, Anne's lowered eyelids caught the eyes of her intended as she bit her lower lip.
"Your lips are so soft." Anne whispered as her gazed locked with Marcy's. "Exactly how I always imaged."
Continuing to lock gazes with Anne, Marcy quickly pressed her lips against Anne's while placing her hands on each side of the thai's face to keep her locked in the kiss. Breaking the kiss, the Taiwanese girl appeared out of breath as her vision caught with Anne's once more.
"Let's not tell Sasha about this." Marcy requested as she quickly pressed her lips to Anne's once more, needing to taste the lips of the thai girl once more. "I want this to stay between you and I."
"My lips are sealed and yours." Anne stated in an agreed whisper. "Sasha maybe our friend, but she doesn't have to know everything about what we do. This will be our little secret."
"Too late losers, I already know." Sasha's voice rang out as she walked through Anne's bedroom door and made her way over to the desk across from the bed. Taking a seat in the chair, Sasha eyed the two with a nonchalant look. "Hey, don't stop because I showed up."
Anne pushed away from Marcy and kept her eyes on Sasha, her look changing from curious to bewildered. Marcy looked at Anne and then to Sasha with the same bewildered look.
"Sasha, what are you doing here?" Anne struggled to ask, her words coming out in a stutter. "What happened to the pool party you were at that we weren't invited to?"
"Oh them." Sasha scoffed as she rolled her eyes. "I totally blew them off. That party got lame after Vince showed up. Didn't I tell you they invited you Boonchuy?"
"No you didn't!" Anne angrily shouted. "You stated the party was for cheerleaders only. I'm an athlete, not a cheerleader!"
"Oh, well they did ask about you, but I told them you were totally busy planning for your wedding." Sasha stated as a cynical smirk crossed her face. "I'm hurt that I wasn't asked to be your maid of honor and here I thought we were best friends."
Listening to the words that Sasha stated with confirmation, Anne felt the wind kick out of her lungs as she eyed the blond with a cocked eyebrow. Opening her ears more, Anne leaned forward to hear what she wants to believe was not what Sasha actually stated.
"I'm sorry, my what?!" Anne inquired with disbelief, wanting to make sure she heard the girl correctly. "My wedding?!"
"Oh thanks for reminding me Sasha." Marcy cheerfully spoke up as Anne turned to her, her petite frame beginning to tremble. From the light green roll play t-shirt and dark green pants, Marcy was suddenly dressed in the core's outfit minus the helmet as her muted orange and red eyes shined with mischief. "We forgot to make the guest list and chose our main course, but I have an idea of what that will be or should I say, who that will be!"
Anne suddenly felt herself pulled closer to Marcy, the two girls faces a mere inch from each other. A gleam of purple caught with the thai's vision as Anne looked down and saw that her wrists were cuffed with mini control collars. The main chain that ran from the middle of the shackles was tightly wound in Marcy's grasp.
"Wait, what's going on?!" Anne panicked as she tried pulling away from Marcy, who held a tight grip on the chain the connected the girl's wrists. "Marcy, what is this?!"
"Practicing for our honeymoon of course." Marcy stated in a dark tone, her innocent girlish voice switching to Darcy's sinister tone.
"Should I start playing the music?" Sasha's valley girl tone inquired, the words dripping with darkness. Turning to the blonde, Anne's eyes widened at seeing the blonde dressed exactly like Marcy, but the bottom half of her being a full black ball gown form instead of legged armor and boots.
"Ok you guys, this isn't funny anymore!" Anne nearly screamed as she continued trying to pull away from Marcy. "Someone tell me what's going on!"
"We already did Boonchuy!" Sasha stated with a dark chuckle. "This is your big day! Relax and enjoy it!"
"Yes Anne, enjoy your new life with the one you love." A voice that eerily mirrored the thai's voice spoke from behind her. "You only get one so enjoy her while you can."
Anne's body became stiff and her blood ran cold at hearing the voice. Slowly turning her head behind her, the dark image of Anne was spotted standing behind her with a devious grin. Nearly knocking Marcy down, Anne quickly backed away from her dark image who only deviously grinned at the girl.
"Why so surprised Anne?" Dark Anne voiced as she took a step forward. "I'm here to celebrate your big day with you because after all, once you say I do, there will be no escaping your future, which would be."
Dark Anne proudly gestured to herself.
"Me." Dark Anne finished her thought.
"There is NO WAY we are the same and there is NO WAY I'm dressing up like that!" Anne screamed as she continued backing away from her dark image while dark Anne continued approaching the thai.
"Oh sweetie, you won't have much of a say in anything once you become one with the core." Dark Anne stated deviously to the teen girl as she stopped two inches from her and placed her right index finger under her chin, muted orange and red meeting with dark brown with a sliver of cyan blue. "Just ask your dear friends who became one with us first."
Anne then felt both of her arms become tightly gripped, Sasha and Darcy firmly holding the girl in place so she could not run from her dark self.
"We just love our new home." Sasha stated in a devious whisper in Anne's right ear. "You have to join us Anne."
"Yes Anne, we are the trio and it's no fun without you." Darcy hissed in response to Sasha. "You are our leader and we're not complete without you!"
"Ok, this is just too weird!" Anne detested as she tried breaking free from Sasha and Darcy. "Let me go! I want no part of this and that especially includes you!"
Grinning deviously, Dark Anne took two steps back and reached her right hand behind her while keeping her vision on Anne. The teen froze at the sight of her evil double as she revealed Darcy's flaming Scythe, the heat of the blade sending micro-ripples through the still night air. Her smirk widening, the double took one step towards the teen as a blood curdling scream ripped through the air.
The scream woke Anne as she sat up with a start, beads of sweat rolling down the teen's face as she panted heavily. Her eyes scanned the room as Anne took in her scenery, noticing that it was nothing like in her dream and that she was in hotel suite like room, complete with white silky curtains, a balcony outside her window with white silky throw pillows sitting on the windowsill, a well-lit glass vanity across the room from the bed, and 3,000 count Egyptian silk bed spread which she was laying under. If she could describe the bedroom in one word, Anne would say she was literally in heaven. Gripping the sheets, Anne felt her breath return as her body returned to stasis from the dream she just had.
"Oh thank frog, it was just a dream!" Anne stated as she exhaled a large breath and wiped her face clean of sweat. "I don't have an evil twin and Sasha was not dressed like Darcy."
Shaking her head, Anne then laid back down on the silky comfort, allowing the sleek material beneath her skin to relax her mind and body so she could easily slip back into the land of dreams.
"Yep, no evil twin and Sasha would never be caught wearing anything like that, especially in public." Anne stated with a yawn as she fluffed her pillow and relaxed her body to become comfortable enough to fall back to sleep. Closing her eyes, droplets of drool formed at the left corner of her mouth, indicating the thai was slipping back into dreamland.
"That was some dream you had dear and that incessant scream of yours can shatter glass." Darcy's voice rang out next to the near sleeping girl. "I would have woken you up, but I figured you would do so on your own eventually."
"Yea, thanks Darcy." Anne tiredly replied as she released a snore. Quickly processing the name that slipped between her lips, Anne's eyes shot open as she quickly turned over to face the owner of the voice. Darcy lightly waved at the thai as she slightly grinned. Sitting up quickly and sliding away from the helmetless hivemind, Anne slid off her side of the bed and hit the floor with a loud THUD.
"Ouch." Anne groaned as she straightened herself up.
"Ouch indeed love." Darcy giggled as she watched Anne prop herself up on her side of the bed. "You have been extremely jumpy since last night. I don't know what you drank at our reception, but it has had a negative effect on you ever since. Oh wait, yes I do because I gave it to you!"
"Reception?" Anne inquired with confusion as she climbed up on her side of the bed while taking a seat on it. She then wrapped herself in the silky off white/oyster colored bedsheet. "What reception?"
"Oh don't tell me you forgot all about our wedding yesterday." Darcy stated, her voice spoken as if she were hurt by Anne's forgetfulness. "It was the BEST night of my life! I got to dance with you, take memorable pictures, feed you our wedding cake, but most of all, spend the rest of the evening in our quarters with you. You were wearing the most delectable garments, your ice blue flower bikini is now my new favorite outfit for you."
Turning to Darcy with a look of total confusion, Anne's stomach felt as if she swallowed a rock, the thai's memories of the night prior flooding back to her in a rush.
The Night Prior
After Darcy said her vows to Anne and locked lips with the thai, Darcy pulled Anne away from the altar and towards the double doors that led to the main area of the castle via control collars. The doors were then opened for the hive minded dictator and her bride by the fro-bots. Darcy and Anne were suddenly stopped at the door as Sasha and the resistance members were brought before them in handcuffs, Anne getting a good look at the commander and the members of the resistance. Sasha's appearance was noticeably rough with red scratches on her face and a black left eye. The swollen eye was twitching as ruby red orbs met with the devious muted orange and red.
"Awe, you just missed our ceremony." Darcy stated in a playfully hurt tone as she tightened her grip on the control collar's chain. "And I was so hoping you could have seen us begin our journey together, but maybe next time during our vow renewal."
"Sasha!" Anne desperately called to the blonde as Darcy tugged Anne along while the thai tried to break away from the dictator. The echoes of Darcy's laughter were heard trailing the two down the hall as Darcy continued leading Anne further away from her supports.
Present
Anne shook her head as the memory of seeing her friends continued playing back in her mind. Anne was so close to them that if she could, she would have grabbed onto them, but Darcy had other plans.
"And then the hour or two spent in the throne room during our private reception." Darcy continued as she waved her right hand in the air and smacked her lips together. "I had the hardest time keeping you still. I wanted to savor my new prize as long as possible before I announced you as my new queen to the city of Newtopia."
Flashback
With a shackle attached to her right ankle, Anne was at the mercy of Darcy as the hivemind hooked her right index finger between the chains that shackled the thai's wrists together, pulling the terrified prisoner closer to her. The air was tense around the two as muted orange and red met with the terrified cyan blue orbs of the woman in front of her. Darcy's hungry eyes trailed over the thai's thin frame in her "honeymoon outfit" like a predator eyeing it's prey before devouring it.
"So my dear, where should we go from here?" Darcy casually asked as her eyes continued hungrily trailing over her new wife. "Because I can certainly think of a few things right now."
"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Anne snapped as she fought hard against her shackles to evade her captor.
Becoming inpatient with the thai, a low growl escaped the hivemind's throat at the thai's resistance.
"You, my dear, must have forgotten who is in charge here!" Darcy responded with a low growl, her eyes shining a low orange of the hive mind that was possessing her. "Your eyes may say no, but your lips are…"
"Saying bite me!" Anne spat as she looked away from the core.
"Oh I intend to, trust and believe me!" Darcy whipped.
Present
"You were so cute when you tried to run away, but figured out you couldn't." Darcy chuckled as she threw the covers back on the bed, revealing that she was sleeping in a spaghetti strapped black night gown.
Climbing out of the bed, Darcy reached over to her nightstand and picked up the picture that was taken of Anne and Darcy at their reception. In the picture, Darcy was smiling wide for the camera behind Anne while Anne was sitting in a chair while looking terrified and on the brink of passing out. Her eyes were visibly seen as looking heavy with sleep.
"This is my new favorite picture of us." Darcy swooned as she handed Anne the picture that was framed in an oyster white picture frame with pink seashells and oysters lining the border of the frame. "Something about your eyes, they were so heavy with sleep after you sipped the champagne from our toast."
"You drugged me?!" Anne nearly screamed as she snatched the picture frame from Darcy and looked to the picture that was taken less than twelve hours ago. Anne's eyes widened as she looked at the picture, seeing the lengths that Darcy went to get the thai to comply with her weeding plans. Anne then tossed the picture back to Darcy in a fit of disgust. "What did you slip in my drink Darcy?"
"I can't remember exactly." Darcy stated in a non-chalant tone of voice. "But it certainly loosened you up during the reception. Your wedding dress was so beautiful and I was able to save what was left of it after you ripped it on the way back to our room. Thankfully the fro-bot was able to escort you there safely or you would have hurt yourself."
Looking frantically around the bedroom, Anne's eyes caught sight of what was left of her wedding dress draped across the back of the oyster colored vanity chair. Clasping her arms together, Darcy rushed to the balcony and picked up her black robe while draping it over herself.
"I didn't think the air would be so cold as Newtopia is never that chilly at night." Darcy stated as she rubbed her hands up and down her opposite arms to warm herself up. "But you certainly warmed me up last night love."
"My dress." Anne's voice spoke in a whisper as she kept her eyes glued to the shambles of the wedding gown that laid lifelessly across the vanity chair.
"Well, we're on official royal duty now so please look in the closet for something presentable." Darcy spoke as she looked to the clock on the wall above the vanity, seeing that the official announcement for the castle's new "management" was only forty-five minutes away. "I want to represent you in the best light possible. I wouldn't want my beloved to look like I didn't care how she dressed."
Tying up her robe, Darcy walked around the bed and proceeded to the bedroom's bathroom to get herself ready for the day. Climbing out of the bed herself, Anne slowly walked over to the vanity chair and with shaky hands, picked up her disheveled wedding. The thai's hands began shaking furiously as she gripped the soft fabric in her hands, tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
"There! That's much better!" Darcy cheerfully exclaimed as she emerged from the bathroom in her total body armor. Running her right hand through her hair, Darcy looked over at the shaking thai as she held what was left of her wedding dress in her hands. Walking over to the thai, Darcy placed a small kiss on Anne's left cheek, the girl never looking up to face Darcy.
"Everything will get better in time, I promise." Darcy softly stated as she walked past Anne and to the balcony outside of their window. Turning back to the thai, Darcy's eyes shined a bright muted orange briefly as fro-bots entered their room and surrounded Anne, the one in front carrying the set of control collars. The thai, having heard the clanking metal, turned to the fro-bots with no emotions riddled on her features.
Looking down at the gathering crowd outside of the balcony, Darcy smirked as she spotted several citizens that she was hoping were going to be present for the announcement she was itching to make. The new ruler of Newtopia had a city-wide announcement to deliver, an announcement that spoke of the new management of the Newtopian Empire. King Andrias was no longer the ruler and Darcy wanted to ensure everyone in Amphibia was given the memo!
Looking to her watch, Darcy noted the time and cleared her throat, preparing for her announcement.
"Good morning citizens of Newtopia!" Darcy began as her eyes scanned the crowd. "I want to thank you all for attending my lovely queen's and I's wedding the night prior! Your well wishes, gifts, and words of encouragement were just what we needed to begin our lives together and Anne couldn't be happier for your presence. However, I would like to announce to everyone that it is I, your merciful Queen Darcy that is now your new ruler of Newtopia!"
Gasps were heard from the crowd at Darcy's announcement, the reaction she was hoping to get.
"While this land was built for just one ruler's eye, I could not think of ruling this lovely land alone!" Darcy continued.
A fro-bot stomped out onto the balcony and handed Darcy the glowing purple chain that was attached to the main control collar. Gripping the chain in her right hand, Darcy nodded to the fro-bot as it re-entered the bedroom.
"Therefore, I would like to introduce the beautiful creature that will be ruling by my side for all eternity, Queen Anne Boonchuy!" Darcy proudly announced.
Yanking on the chain attached to the control collar around Anne's neck, Darcy pulled Anne into sight and hooked her left hand in the middle of the chains that were shackled to Anne's wrists. Lifting the petite thai off her feet, Darcy looked into the crowd once more before leaning over and placing a kiss on Anne's cheek. Gasps and cries continued as Anne locked eyes with the crowd, a horrified expression on her face.
Sasha, who emerged from the crowd moments prior, glanced up at the new dictator of Newtopia, her left eye twitching as her temper bubbled to the surface. Darcy caught glances with Sasha as she placed another kiss to the thai's cheek.
"That's right! I have what belongs to you and she's all mine now!" Darcy spoke to herself as she grinned at Sasha.
Tightening her grip on the handle of her sword, Sasha vision zero'd in on Darcy, wishing that her looks could the kill the cold-hearted dictator right in front of everyone.
"Sasha, help me!" Anne screamed into the crowd as she tried fighting against her bonds. Hearing her best friend scream out in agony only angered the blonde that much more, the poor sword's handle cracking a little in her grip.
"Not to worry dear, we'll be on our way shortly!" Darcy spoke as she hooked her right index finger under Anne's chin and forced the girl to turn to her. "You just hang in there."
Winking to the thai, Darcy turned back to the crowd.
"I would like to thank you all for attending this assembly and welcome to the new Newtopia!" Darcy continued as she placed Anne back on her feet. "Now if you will excuse us, my new love and I have some important matters to attend to. If you all need anything, please leave your requests with a member of my security team. Bye for now."
Wrapping her left arm tightly around the thai's waist, Darcy escorted Anne back into their bedroom, the bay windows closing behind them.
"She's not getting away with this!" Sasha growled as she turned to Grime. "Gather everyone back at the Fungi Forest hq. We're getting into that castle to rescue Anne if it kills us!"
"Kills us?!" Sprig cautiously questioned.
"Right away commander." Grime complied as he turned to the remaining resistance members. Nodding to them, everyone but Sprig nodded back.
Turning from the balcony, Sasha and the resistance members disappear into the befuddled crowd who were still in awe at Darcy's announcement.
Later that evening
Having finished dinner through the intensity of the silent meal shared with Darcy, Anne wandered away from the dining hall to explore the castle that she was being imprisoned in, or at least that's what she stated to Darcy. Going down the dark hall, Anne was in search of the room where she met with the darker image of herself, hoping to speak to her again regarding overthrowing Darcy.
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
Continuing down the hall, Anne looked through each door, desperately searching for the one that would provide her the answers she desperately sought.
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone
Everything goes on
Having searched just about all the rooms she could access, Anne stood outside of one door, the door to the room she was sure she needed to enter. Lifting her right hand to the door, the thai placed her palm in the center as it turned a muted orange. The door then slid open with a quick whirr, granting the girl access to the room. Walking through, the door closed shut behind Anne as she looked around at the pitch black that surrounded her.
Well, you were staring at the window
And I said, "I wanna take you to the sea"
And when I'm better, we'll do everything
I gotta stop making promises I can't keep
The floor beneath the thai's feet began shaking with Anne knowing what was coming next. Taking a deep breath, Anne stood perfectly still as the ten-eyed monster emerged from the wall, opening all ten of its eyes to greet its visitor. The largest eye in the middle focused on Anne as her dark image returned, the evil clone grinning at the sight of the exhausted girl.
"My my my, if it isn't my lovely goody-two shoes of a double." Dark Anne chuckled. "Why the long face? Not enjoying your holy matrimony?"
"I need your help." Anne stated in a flat tone, unamused by her dark half's attempt at a joke. "It's about Darcy. I want to wield the power she can't and become more powerful than she is."
But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Someday I'll be overcast, but you won't have to cry
'Cause we'll do the grieving while I'm by your side
I said.
"Finally decided to take my offer I see." Dark Anne stated as she placed her hands on her hips. "Say no more. Unlimited powers at your fingertips when you're ready."
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone
Everything goes on
And I'm so scared of getting used to this
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room
Someday both of us are leaving here
But for now, I'll just bring to the sea to you, ooh
"I'm ready." Anne continued in a flat tone as Dark Anne smirked.
Dark Anne placed her right hand against the side of the eye she were on, which prompted Anne to lift her right hand that slowly inched towards the middle eye where her dark half stood.
When you meet me in the daylight like we did before
Then I felt you on my shoulder, and you weren't suffering anymore
You said, "I'm sorry that you worry, but don't apologize"
I told you to forget me, but you stayed by my side
When I said,
Having exited the dining hall in search of her new wife, Darcy called out to Anne as she walked through the dark hall the thai did moments before. Darcy's pace changed from walking to jogging as she searched just about every room in that dark hall much like Anne did prior. Reaching the end of the hall, Darcy placed her left palm against the door as it whirred open. Running inside, Darcy froze in place at what she spotted in front of her.
The large eye of the monster was shattered as fluid dribbled out of the broken glass that made up that eye. The fluid pooled under Anne as she lay sprawled on the floor, her limbs stretched out as if she were knocked unconscious. Darcy then noticed that the girl was laying in the middle of the floor dressed exactly like her darker image, from her ponytail to the boots. Walking up to her, Darcy kneeled and checked Anne's right eye noticing that her pupil changed from dark brown to muted orange and red to the neon purple, the color of the control collar. Closing her eye, Darcy picked up Anne's head and cradled it in her lap.
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
And when we're gone, ah
Everything goes on
"Welcome home Savisa." Darcy softly spoke as she placed a soft kiss to Anne's lips.
Undisclosed Secret Laboratory (Earth)
Joyful humming filled the room as papers were shuffled neatly on the desk next to a computer monitor with a high-resolution image of a lily pad on the screen. The shuffled papers were then gathered up and placed into a manilla folder that were then carried to the other side of the room to a neatly organized desk. The folder was then placed on the desk as an ice blue haired scientist took a seat while placing a strand of lose hair behind her right ear, that strand having escaped from the ponytail that was wound neatly in a bun at the back of her head.
"Ok, now I can finally get these papers uploaded into the system." Terri excitedly stated as she continued humming to herself. "I know Dr. Jan has been freaking out about not having these forms for the museum. Sorry Jan, but the life of a scientist isn't easy either. Especially when you're working for the government and your boss is technically Mr. X."
Sliding her mouse to wake her computer up, the screen came on and prompted Terri to input her password.
"Of course." Terri happily sang as she entered her password to access her system. The home screen appeared that displayed the same lily pad image that was on her lock screen. Opening her email application, Terri noticed that Dr. Jan sent her an email. Clicking on her envelope, Terri's eyes quickly scanned the message and released a playful chuckle.
"Dr. Jan, Dr Jan, you just will not stop talking about that pocket dimension discovery will you?" Terri stated as she continued laughing to herself. "Ok, I'm going to send you the information right now and then you'll get the forms to bring up the rear."
Clicking reply, Terri's fingers were positioned over the keyboard when a low whirring sound hummed from the computer behind her. As loudly as the humming occurred, the sound died off just as quickly. Brushing the disturbance off, Terri began typing her email reply to Dr. Jan when the humming sound reoccurred and became louder. Halting her assignment, Terri turned around to notice that the computer screen's resolution was a cyan blue, a bright hue that she has never seen before. Cocking an eyebrow at the technological anomaly, the needles of the energy meters next to the computer monitor were moving back and forth erratically, which caught Terri's attention as well. The computer monitor's resolution then returned to normal as cyan blue waves appeared and began streaming across the screen. Terri's eyes grew wide as she rushed over to the computer to read the energy outputs that were flashing across the screen.
"It can't be!" Terri whispered in shock as she quickly deciphered the message that was standing out to her. "That energy signal! That cyan blue energy signature belongs to…."
Quickly grabbing the office phone's receiver next to the computer that was outputting the energy signals, Terri speed dialed the first number on the phone's base with the other line picking up just as quickly.
"Hi, Mr. X!" Terri hurriedly shouted. "Are you sitting down? Good! Because you won't believe what just popped up on my computer screen!"
