“No… White!!!” Owen wailed, and Greg’s laughter seized immediately.
“How dare you scream another man’s name in front of me!!” He yelled.
“You killed him…” Owen muttered as more hot tears filled down her face.
“Is that a problem?” Greg brought his face closer to hers.
“I hate you!!!!” She screamed, and Greg slapped her har. Blood shot out of her mouth.
“You do not pity another man in front of me, ok? You were a slave to my clan before their extermination, and all of these started from you but I still saved you!” He slammed.
“Killing me is better than this hell! Your Curse-Weaver clan was exterminated because of your wickedness. I wish he had killed you too back then!” She spit saliva on his face, and he slapped her again.
Her eyes dwindled, and she nearly fainted.
“You don’t miss our daughter?” Greg said with a slow smile.
“You mean the one you stole from the Luthers? Poor girl is not even aware of who she is! Rihannon is not my daughter, she’s not your daughter either! You stole her and turned her into a bloodthirsty demoness, making her believe she’s your daughter, but she’s actually your plan B!” Owen said, looking straight into his eyes.
“If Twilight fails, you plan to use her, isn’t it? What did the Luther family do to you? Why do you have to torment them this way!!” She cried.
“Stella shouldn’t have allowed Slade in her womb! That monster shouldn’t have been born again! Do you understand? He exterminated my clan in his first life which he doesn’t even remember!” Greg glared.
“And you have killed him in that first life! We’re both still alive at age 320 right now cos you killed him and added his lifespan to ours. Now that he got reborn, you’re gonna do the same thing again?” She shook her head.
“Yes! If he gets reborn hundred times, I’ll find him and kill him hundred times before he even regains memories of his first life!” He replied bitterly.
Owen shook his head…
“His first life memories was sealed together with his monster powers, right? You’re cruel” she muttered.
“Yes. I was born to be cruel like this! Now get up!” He stood, and her eyes widened when she saw his arms.
The two are fine.
“White… said…your arm got cut” She stuttered, and he grinned.
“That was just an illusion I created for Slade. He thought he actually was able to cut my arm? Bullshit!” He laughed, forcefully pulling her up.
“Then you should focus on Slade alone. The other quadruplets are innocent” she said.
“You’re talking too much!” He gave her a hit at the back of her neck, and she fainted into his arms.
He carried her, leaving the house.
‘As for you, White… You’ll suffer in the volcano for days before finally melting with it. Enjoy’ he thought as the door closed behind him.

UOG, 4PM*
The morning program ended since 12,, not many students attended.
The beauty contest that’s starting soon is the real highlight of the celebration, and it’s gonna be an open-ground contest in front of the large hall.
Miss Dora will be handling it with several other lecturers, and the contestants are already dressing up in the room that was given to them.
Molly, Imogen, and six other girls.
Ren and Echo are with Imogen, but Molly even refused the help of any of her gang members.
She’s all alone, struggling with her makeup since she has never been a fan of make-up.
She has been trying to draw the brows since an hour, and she kept failing.
Angrily, she threw the eye pencil into the trashcan, deciding to go natural.
Imogen and her cohorts were laughing secretly at the other side of the room as they watched her.
She was about to stand and start dressing up when someone pushed her back into the chair, and she looked up.
“Posey?”
“Don’t tell me you’re going natural for a beauty contest. Miss Dora might just disqualify you, and also…you need some facial touches which only me can give” she winked.
“I don’t want it from you” Molly tried standing again, but Posey pushed her again.
“I’m not doing this for the room, just allow me take care of you” she said, and Molly sighed.
“I thought I was headstrong till I met you” she said, and Posey smiled before starting the makeup.
“Posey and Molly? That’s first-class trash” Imogen said.
“Tell me about it” Ren added.
Imogen rented a make-up artist, and she’s all ready. All that’s left is for her to dress up.
“Are you still following the plan?” Echo asked.
“Trust me” Imogen replied, bringing out a bottled water.
Posey did the perfect makeup for Molly within twenty minutes. Not too heavy, and not too light. She even styled her hair.
“First time I’m seeing you on makeup, you’re more beautiful” Posey said, showing her the mirror.
“I know I’m pretty, but thanks anyways” Molly said, and Posey laughed again
Imogen suddenly came to them, smiling widely.
“What are you doing here?” Molly faced her.
“I know we’re enemies, but since you’re now friends with Posey and we’re both contesting anyways. What’s the use of our enmity? Let’s bury the hatchet” Imogen said.
“Just like that? You’re funny” Posey chuckled.
Molly stood. “Why do you think I’m gonna agree to be your friend because of this contest? You’re not the only one contesting so if I needed a friend, I’d have gotten one among all the six other contestants”
“No girl can be like me, and you know it” Imogen scoffed.
“Girl…be for real. You’re not even pretty” Molly replied.
“Yes she’s not!” Posey added, and Molly started laughing.
“How dare you talk to my girlfriend that way!” Ren joined the crowd.
“And how dare you talk to my best friend that way!” Echo joined too.
“Guys, calm down I’ll handle this bî+ch myself” Imogen replied, opening the bottled water with her.
She pretended like she was gonna drink, but instead…she spilled it forward at Molly.
“What the hell!!” Molly gasped, but before the water could reach her, Uriel came in and blocked it.
The water wet Uriel’s face and chest, and it was so fast cos rashes covered those spots immediately.
Imogen swallowed, quickly hiding behind Ren.
“Uriel!” Molly gasped again
“Heard about their plans at the infirmary, and I’ve been trying to alert you, but you’ve been ghosting me, so I had to do it myself” he explained.
Molly couldn’t close her mouth when she saw the rashes multiplying.
“I’ll kill you!!!” She went after Imogen immediately, but Ren covered Imogen quickly.
Her first punch landed on Ren’s face, and when Ren made to return it, Posey got in the way, punching Ren instead.
“That’s for breaking my heart, jerk!” She spat, punching him again
“And that’s for trying to punch Molly back, idiot!” She shouted.
Ren bled from the lips, and Imogen pulled him back, both shocked cos of Posey’s sudden strength.
Echo just stepped back, deciding to stay on her lane.
“I’ll take you to the infirmary” Molly pulled Uriel.
“The contest starts in twenty minutes!” An announcement came outside.
“I’ll take care of myself, don’t worry” Uriel said.
“Make sure” she said sternly.
“Sure” he replied, leaving the room.
Posey quickly helped her into her dress, acting as her personal stylist throughout.
Within fifteen minutes, they were done, and Molly joined the lining up out of the room.
“Thank…you” Molly said with difficulty, and Posey chuckled.
“Just win, that’s the only way to say thank you”
Molly managed to muster a little smile. “You can…go arrange your wardrobe…in the room” she said.
“Yes! Thank you. I love you!” Posey jumped.
“But not now, I’ll cheer you up till you win, then we can go dress up for the masquerade ball together” she said.
Molly smiled again before going out.
*
Twilight and her friends are currently on their way to the contest ground too, and though Onyx wouldn’t stop babbling, Twilight is so lost.
She couldn’t get Elijah’s words out of her mind, and she kept pressing the dagger which is strapped to her thighs under her dress.
“Are you ok? You’ve been spacing out” Rihannon suddenly asked.
“I’m fine, I guess I’m just overwhelmed” Twilight smiled, and Rihannon nodded.
“Why is this weather somehow? Despite the fact that Elijah rained peach blossoms everywhere, I feel somehow” Damien said.
“You’re probably feeling overwhelmed like Twi-Twi” Rihannon patted him.
“Let’s go eat before going to the contest” Onyx suggested.
“You and food” Twilight pulled her ear softly.
“It’s not my fault” Onyx pouted, but her pout disappeared when she saw someone down the hall.
“I don’t think I’m coming for the contest again!” She quickly said, rushing off.
“What’s up with her these days?” Rihannon said.
“She’s probably on her way to the refectory to eat alone” Twilight chuckled as they walked down the busy hall.
*
Onyx was still on the run back to the tower when the person she’s running from blocked her way
She turned around to go the other direction, but he blocked her again , and she stepped back.
“Why are you following me?” She muttered with a slow blink.
“Did I scare you the other day?” Ruslan asked, and she finally looked at him.
He smiled slightly.
“I was just in a bad mood. Sorry I’m not always like that” he said.
“So…I can come closer now” she blinked twice.
“Yeah, troublemaker” he replied, and she quickly went close, sniffling him.
“Your bad scent is gone! Did you chase away badness overnight?” She blinked thrice, and he smiled wider.
“So you’re really really a cat”
“Yes. One and only Sladie’s cat.” She flipped her hair.
“So you were returning to the tower because of me?” He said.
“Not anymore, I’ll go join Twillie at the contest” she replied.
“Was on my way there too, let’s move together” he said, and she nodded, following him down the hall.
Echo came out after they’ve left, her eyes full of unsaid rage, and her fists balled.
“You made me fall in love with you then humiliated me only to move around with a cat? Ruslan, you dunno what I’m capable of” she smirked.
*
TAMLIN’S ROOM*
Isobel is inside with Tamlin, staring at her legs and wondering how Twilight would scream if she cuts herself there.
“I know what you’re thinking. Don’t try it and wait for tonight” Tamlin said dryly, drinking juice again.
“I’m only impatient, don’t judge me” she muttered.
“The plan is set, we only have to wait for the bomb to go off. Greg said we’ll know the demoness tonight, and we only have to support her.” Tamlin replied.
Isobel stood, taking the juice from him to gulp down her throat.
“Is Greg gonna be coming?” She asked.
“That depends” he said.
*
OPEN-GROUND CONTEST*
The loud screams from the onlooking students is sonorous, and it filled the air, reaching the skies.
The white stage is high in the middle while the students surrounded it while standing.
The eight contestants are currently making their appearances, and all of their dresses are chef’s kiss.
The theme this year is “Period Dresses Beauty” and everyone did their best to match the theme.
Imogen got the screams of almost everyone in school when she showed up, especially Ren and Echo.
She was smiling and expecting her own success already, but when Molly came out last, the place nearly crumbled with the insane screams.
Imogen looked back at Molly, and when she saw her dress, she gasped.
Molly’s dress is killing, and her curly hair added to the elegance plus the necklace and make-up. Everything matched the theme and is on point!
She’s like Aphrodite for real, and Imogen almost stopped moving.
“Move! Imogen!” Echo shouted from the crowd, and that was when she got herself together, continuing her walk
The screams kept coming for Molly, and Molly’s smile was second to none.
Twilight and her friends in the crowd were cheering for her too, especially Twilight.
“You’re pretty, Molly!!” She screamed, and when Molly’s eyes met with hers in the crowd, they smiled at each other.
Posey nearly lost her voice in screaming, she’s like a supportive sis.
“You’re better than them bi+çhes! I love you Molly Fell!!!!”
Molly’s smile widened when she heard that, and her heart melted to see she has this much supporters.
Uriel came too, wearing a face cap cos of his rashes. and he’s clapping nonstop.
“You got this Molly!”
Ren and Echo’s screams became irrelevant, and Imogen’s name disappeared from the screamers mouth.
The other sis contests were like invisible. Molly took over the place.
* Molly Fell!!
* Molly Fell!!!
* Molly Fell!!!!!
Imogen began shaking, and seeing the screamers made her sick as her eyes began turning on their own in stage.
Even Miss Dora and the other judges wouldn’t stop staring at Molly alone.
Imogen felt nauseous all of a sudden, and she ran away from the stage.
“Imogen Wesley, disqualified!” Miss Dora announced.
“What the f+ck!” Echo gasped, and Ren quickly ran after Imogen.
He caught up with her in the restroom where she’s throwing up.
“Why did you run out like that?” He questioned, and she faced him with a poisonous scowl.
“Did you just ask that? Everyone was screaming Molly’s name! She’s all they’re seeing bastard!” She spat.
“But still…” Ren said.
“Don’t even…
Imogen has’nt finished when she threw up again.
Ren started rubbing her back.
“And why the hell are you throwing up” he muttered.
*
8PM, BALL ROOM*
After Molly won Miss UOG an hour ago, the university never remained the same.
Molly sponsored food for every single student, thanks to the subscription money from ImoRen video. She did a lot, and though she’s not with her gang anymore, they all sang madly around the castle.
Even till now, their voices are still ringing around the ball room premises as students entered in twos with their dates.
The room is on the top floor of the function building, and as students entered, the smell of happiness got thicker.
Rihannon entered, strapping her black crow-like mask to her face.
She picked a cake from the front table, then a cup of juice before smiling.
There’s a bud beeping in her ear.
“Get ready” she said.
“Sure!” The voices of the staffs came from the other side.
“Who’re you talking to?” Damien asked, coming in and looking handsome in his suit.
“Wow! You look dashing in the suit” she smiled, ignoring the question.
“What’s with the bud in your ear?” He asked, wanting to touch it.
She grabbed his wrist, electrocuting him automatically.
Damien shook as he went down, then she sighed.
“I’ll take you first” she brushed her hair back before dropping her cup. She dragged him away.
Twilight came in minutes later, looking like a total princess in her ball gown and the cake mask.
She smiled with her wet lips and entered the room full of masked students, professors and lecturers.
The lights are dim to give the room an ominous air, and a slow music is playing in the background which many couples are already dancing to.
She started looking for Slade in the sea of bodies, searching with her eyes wide open.
What mask could he be wearing?
Since she’s wearing a cake-shaped mask cos he loves cakes, could he be wearing fish-shaped cos she loves fish?
Nope, that’s too ridiculous, but fish is not her only preference.
She likes stick sweets too, maybe he’d choose sweet-shaped mask.
She blinked under her mask when she sighted it immediately.
A man wearing sweet-shaped mask, standing in the middle of the crown. A dim light is above him, and he’s staring at her direction. He’s wearing a tailored suit, black and fitted.
She delved through the crowd to him immediately, and when she got to him, she could feel him smile under his mask.
“Found you” she smiled too, her lips spreading out as he took her two hands in his own.
“Gawd…you look hot as hell” he commented, bringing an hand up to touch her lips.
“You look more handsome” she said.
“Handsome is outdated” he smirked.
“You look…s+xy?” She replied, and he saw his face calming.
“That’s it” he said, and she smiled.
She has decided to keep Elijah’s words a secret and not tell him since he’s sure yo get protective and will send her out of the hall.
His scent made butterflies throw a function at the pit of her stomach, and the way his thumb is running her lips.
“Do you know how to ball dance?” She asked.
“No” he replied.
“Sad” she chuckled, but then he released one of her hands, making a move backwards.
“You said you dunno how to ball dance” she said.
“I can’t, I never said I won’t” he replied, and she followed the lead, going left and right, backwards and forwards.
Turning around and swirling only to come back to his arms and chest. She felt like she’s dancing in the air, and she’s surely gonna keep this in her memories forever.
His hand suddenly crawled under her gown, and she held her breaths as his fingers found her clît, rubbing it.
“Mmm” she moaned, holding eyes with him as he rubbed again, making her moan slowly in the room.
Full of students and lecturers like this, she doesn’t care, she just wants to get lost in him till the fight will start.
In fact, the idea of getting caught by one of the students is more thrilling than she expected.
When he pushed two fingers into her, she pulled him down to her level by the shirt, crashing her lips on his own.
He was fingering her hard down there, and their lips kissed like maniacal addicts, her moans dissipating with his harsh breaths.
Her back hit the room pillar, and her legs spread wider on the ground as his fingers went deeper, and their kiss became uncontrollable.
Despite the pleasure, her senses stayed at alert for the voice, but she heard nothing, so she m0aned again.
Slade’s eyes aren’t closed. They’re wide opened as he corrupted her, looking out for any oddness.
In the middle of the room, Aimee and Elijah stood, not dancing like the others, cups of mocktails in their hands with their eyes roaming everywhere.
“Do you think we should have planted cameras?” Elijah said.
“Whatever we’re dealing with is fuçking brutal and powerful, so setting cameras will be useless” Aimee replied.
Another side of the hall as Onyx, Ruslan, Uriel and several other students who’re chatting happily.
“Why have I not seen Rihannon and Damien?” Onyx suddenly said, moving forward with plans to go search for them.
The chandelier above her suddenly shattered, sharing glasses to every part of the hall.
Several students got wounded, and a scream came from outside immediately.
“Molly!!!! Molly f+ck!!! Molly!!!!!”
Uriel’s eyes widened.
The hall shattered too as everyone started trying to rub out, but every other light in the room went off too, leaving darkness.
Twilight disengaged from Slade, and Slade pushed her behind himself.
He put on his ring, and she secretly pulled out the dagger.
Why did she not hear the voice? What’s going on?
“Uriel, move everyone to the north side of the hall!” Slade ordered, and Uriel obeyed, anchoring students to to that angle in the dark.
Suddenly, the roof of the hall came crashing down, but before it could reach them, Slade raised his right hand, activating the ring power to stop the roof from landing.
Elijah and Aimee quickly joined him, combining powers to hold it up, but then a wicked chuckle sounded from the darkest part of the hall.
In the next second, the roof crashed down despite their combined powers, but thankfully, the students finished moving to the north side already, so the roof crumbled on the ground, sinking the ground inside.
Fire began burning in the big pit to the shock of the triplets.
Aimee almost fell into it, but Slade pulled her up, and he staggered as his chest began bleeding as a result of his repeated stabs to his heart.
Twilight quickly held him.
“Kils!”
His eyes turned, and he groaned out, the ring shinning on his finger.
“Kils!” She called again.
The masked Kontrol staffs poured into the hall… Aimee and Elijah faced them in a fierce fight, but it seems the power of their own ring is starting to fade too.
They got weaker and weaker every second, and Elijah hit the ground after a while, vomiting blood from the mouth.
“Elijah!” Aimee called out, but she also got hit in the back, making her stumble violently and hitting the ground with a serious mouth bleed.
Two of the staffs went for Twilight at once, but Slade sent one of them into the pit with his remaining ring power.
The second one ran forward, but Slade couldn’t even move from his spot. Seems his ring power has been totally exhausted.
It’s an hour already.
Twilight ran forward from behind him, and he glared.
“Light!!” Her name left his lips in a yell, but she didn’t look back till she got to the staff and stabbed him with the dagger on the chest.
Slade’s eyes twitched when he saw the dagger.
Twilight pushed the staff away with her leg, moving to the next one.
She climbed the table and swirled with the right elbow, jumping down and sinking the dagger into the belly of another staff.
Elijah and Aimee are still on the ground, still unable to stand.
Twilight left the second staff and raised the dagger on the third one, but her stomach suddenly started bleeding.
The dagger fell from her, and she grabbed the stomach as her blood poured.
Obviously, Isobel hurt herself.
“Light!!” Slade yelled, wanting to use every damn energy left in him to move from his spot, but he was hit from behind.
He flew forward, landing on the far ground where he vomited blood again.
The face of his hitter came to view, and Twilight’s eyes widened when she saw it.
“Ri… Rihannon?”
She’s in her demoness form, holding the fire arrow and a dark smile.
“Took you long enough” Rihannon smiled, and Twilight tried moving from her spot, but her stomach bled more.
“Ughh!!”
“Don’t stress yourself before you die. We don’t want you dead yet” Rihannon said .
“No…how could…how could you be….” Twilight said bloodily, and Rihannon smiled.
“I love the shocked look on your face so much, it’s refreshing” she said.
“You’re the… midnight killer…the Kontrol spy, the rival?” Twilight spat blood again.
“You’re smart” Rihannon nodded.
“How could you!!!” Twilight yelled in pains, holding the tummy tighter.
“You do not yell to my face! Lowly slave!” Rihannon snapped and started walking briskly to her.
Twilight plucked off her pearl necklace and earring and bracelet, throwing everything at her.
Rihannon came to a standstill, but before it could reach her, another entity entered the hall, taking her away from the pearls and landing her in safety.
The pearls fell in the pit.
“Father” Rihannon smiled when she saw Greg’s face.
“Greg?” Twilight muttered, hot tears leaving her eyes.
Greg moved to her side, taking her.
“We don’t have much time,” he said, dragging her out of the hall.
“Kils!!” Twilight looked back at Slade who’s still unconscious on the ground.
“Kils!! Kils!!” Her voice resonated through the room walls till she was outside with them.
Just when they’re about going down the stairs, Slade appeared in front of them, said Greg smiled.
“Out of my way” he said.
Slade took Twilight’s second hand, but before he could pull, Rihannon fired her arrow, shooting him in the tummy.
Slade flew back, landing on stones and injuring his forehead.
“Kils!!” Twilight cried out again, wanting to go down to him.
“You go down there, I kill him” Greg warned, and her tears poured harder as Slade struggled back to his feet.
There’s no energy left in him, but he staggered back up the stairs till he got to them and tried touching Twilight again.
Greg pushed him back with a violent force, and Slade flew back again, landing on the stones and injuring his head once again.
“Kils!! Please!” Twilight cried out, feeling devastated.
Slade stood again, and her eyes got blurry as tears nearly blinded her.
Blood was pouring out of his mouth and several injuries as he started staggering to the stairs again.
“Aren’t you so stubborn, Mr. President?” Greg said, enjoying this a little too much.
“He has always been like that” Rihannon grinned, setting her arrows again.
Before Slade could get to the third stair, she fired him again, and he flew into the sand, bleeding from the nose and bleeding more from the mouth.
He’s breathless and weak in every inch of his fuçking mind and body.
“Kils” Twilight shut her eyes, her heart shattering all-over.
Rihannon smiled, and Greg sighed as Slade pushed himself up again for the fourth time.
This time, his limbs are gone, so he resorted to crawling up the stairs.
“Isn’t this deep love too much for a mere slave? How foolish, Monster Killa” Greg said.
Slade kept crawling to the top, his blood staining the stairs as he crawled to climb each metal.
When he got to the second to the last stair, Greg gathered enough power in his white eyes, glaring at him.
The eyes flashed red, hitting Slade madly.
Slade gasped as the force threw him again, and blood spilled out of his mouth, splashing on Twilight’s face.
Her eyes opened, and she went on her knees.
“Killa!!!!!!!!!!!!”
He landed on the rocks, and his bones cracked, but still…he began crawling back again.
“Don’t come up again! Please stop! Kils!!” Twilight screamed.
He continued crawling stubbornly, and Greg nodded
“You’ll die for her at this rate” he smirked.
Rihannon set her arrow to hit him again, but immediately the arrows flew out of the bow, Onyx ran out of the hall, jumping in the way.
The arrows entered Onyx’s chest instead, and she fell on top of Slade on the ground.
“Sladie…” She muttered.
Slade’s body became paralyzed totally.
“Let’s go, father” Rihannon said.
Greg grabbed Twilight immediately.
Her teary broken eyes are on Slade who’s also looking at her powerlessly from the ground.
He’s gravely injured, every part of his body is bleeding, plus the arrows.
“I… Love… You” She mouthed, and the wind carried her, Greg and Rihannon away.
A tear rolled out of Slade’s eyes.
His eyes closed as his head landed back on the ground.
“Light…”
