Hello everyone TomboyJessie13 here, I was extremely lazy when it comes to writing this chapter, I even had a hard time figuring out how I should end the chapter, Kit-The-Wolfy was the one who suggested the Grimm Brothers story mentioned here, my sister also helped me with the errors, even she doesn't know how to end the chapter. Lucky for me JustBmpLove helped me out with it. I hope you enjoy it, if not then I understand but don't be hateful about it.

Chapter 11

The Robber Bridegroom

In an unknown room, sounds of pained groans and wincing can be heard, Riliane, sitting on a stool, her hair down, and wearing a minty green gown was biting her bottom lip from the pain as Clairth, a white haired Nestuma and a friend of hers from the Held Monastery was applying tree sap from Michaela's tree form onto her left leg.

"Ow!" Riliane exclaimed.

"I know it hurts, Rin." Clairth said as she kept on applying, "But it has to be done if you want to get cured and get rid of those bite marks, you and the others were lucky to not succumb to the black widow's venom, they're are known to be more venomous than even a rattle snake."

"Then I must be the most luckiest Princess in the world, Ow." Riliane puffed up in irritation with sarcasm in her voice, having to have experience a horrible nightmare of having arachnids crawling all over her body and biting her like a chew toy. "Besides, we're spirits."

"Oh don't be like that, Rin. The worst is over, the spiders are gone so you don't have to worry about them anymore."

"Oooook." Riliane sighs relived perhaps, Clarith smiled.

"Ok, I'm just about done." She began to wrap Riliane's leg with a bandage. "There, that shall do it." She helped Riliane sit on the wheelchair then wheeled her out of the room, passing by different rooms in what appears to be a hospital until they reached room they're going to, Allen was waiting for them by the door.

"Hi Allen."

"There you are Riliane, Thank you Clarith, I'll take it from here." Allen said as he took the wheel chair, Clarith nodded. Allen then pushed the door open to find all the sinners there, laying in their beds and already had their bites treated and bandaged, Sateriasis was looking at himself in the tiny mirror, viewing the damage the spiders caused, Banica seemed to be eating her own blanket, Margarita was playing with her own hair that's currently not in pigtails, Gallerian was eating a double scoop of ice cream as a treat for behaving during treatment, Nemesis was hitting her head against the headboard, and Kayo was just waiting patiently in her bed. "Well I see you people are recovering nicely." He helped Riliane into her bed.

"Don't toy with us, we've all been bitten alive by those little monsters!" Sateriasis snapped, "Now I look hideous."

"Could you worry less about your face, Duke?" Banica said as she tore the blanket with her teeth.

"There is a thing called "staying put" and yet you guys never." Kayo said.

"Well we handled it ourselves right?"

"Yes but you guys flooded the house." Allen said, Michaela came in to the room to which caused Allen to hide his face from her.

"Great news! Because Master Held is generous today, your house in the box would be fixed up and clean in no time flat!" The sinners sighed in relief, not having to worry about cleaning up and waiting. "Unfortunately your wounds are still recovering from the incident so you'll have to stay in this hospital room for a while."

"For how long?" Riliane said in irritation.

"Until tomorrow afternoon." This news caused the sinners to exclaim in disbelief.

"This is all your fault, you hussy!" Gallerian yelled at Nemesis. "You and your stupid bombs!"

"My fault?! It was Margarita's Gift that did it!" She pointed at Margarita.

"HEEEEY! Don't blame me! It was Sateriasis's idea!" Margarita pointed at Sateriasis

"Me!? Riliane was the one who wanted to go down to that basement to do things to it!"

"There's a name for people like you, Duke. But even a lady like myself can't say it!" Riliane told him off.

"I told you all not to go down there!" Kayo scolded them.

"Can we agree I did nothing wrong?" Banica said, holding up her bandaged hands.

"Of course you did nothing wrong." Nemesis said. "Y'know come to think of it you practically did nothing in this madness! All you do is just eat, eat, eat! all day, everyday 24/7!" She yelled at her.

"You leave my eating habits out of this!" Banica scolded the former dictator. Everyone started yelling at one another. Allen, Michaela, and Clarith were speechless because of this display of temper and negativity among them, blaming each other for their faults. It was then Allen took out a air horn from his shirt and a couple of ear plugs.

"You ladies may wanna cover your ears for this." Clarith and Michaela both complied as they put on their ear plugs, Allen puts on his pair then begins to use the air horn.

PHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRM!

The sinners were startled silent by the air horn, they turn their attentions to Allen as he removed his ear plugs.

"Are we just about through yet?"

"...Your sister started it." Sateriasis said.

"ENOUGH! Now before I lose my patience, let me just say that I understand how you all feel but there's nothing we can do about it, so all you can do is be patient and just hang out here until you're all healed." He finished with a smile, all the sinners then turned away from one another, indicating that they're all angry at each other for their misfortune.

"Your all pretty angry at one another right?" Michaela said.

"Yes." Was Kayo's reply, still looking away.

"Aren't you gonna say anything to one another?"

"Nope, and I never will again." Sateriasis said sternly.

"Me either." Margarita said, sounding really serious. "They don't deserve my words."

"I second that." Riliane sneered.

"And me." Gallerian said next.

"Me six." Banica said as she casually eats her blanket. They're seriously mad at each other for their own faults. Sickle will practically go through the roof knowing that the sinners will not get along, they'll never get to the Heavenly Yard at this rate. The three got out of the room and formed a group huddle.

"What a predicament this is." Clarith said. "They'll never reunite with their loved ones if they start to act like this to each other."

"Your right, these people are known for holding grudges against people but this is ridiculous, It's just a spider infestation right?" Allen said, he then sighed out in frustration. "I swear they're gonna make me wish I was under a guillotine right now."

"Don't say such things, Allen."

"I've seen many people who are just like the sinners who come to me in Master Held's forest and let me tell you: "They don't hold them forever."

"Really?"

"Yes, the sinners had suffered a lot during their past life that they're taking out their own faults and suffering on each other out of spite with every chance they got, but that only makes them feel worse about themselves, eventually they'll tire out and forgive them...that's my only observation in the matter."

"I think your right, Michaela." Allen said. "But the thing is, in the current state they're in: They're not very patient, and don't wanna be associated with each other for a while."

"Well I think cheering them up seemed to be the only option to help them heal their emotional wounds and kill some time." Clarith said. "Maybe then they'll forgive one another and realize their own mistakes instead of blaming. But How?" Clarith played with her white hair, she then saw a nurse walking by with a shelf full of books, she went to the shelf to see what she can get and found a big brown book entitled: "Freezis Fairy Tales- Complete set". A one of a kind novelty filled with stories written by a young girl the Netsuma used to care for while working as a maid for Keel and Mikina Freezis. "This will do nicely for now, If I don't return to the Heavenly Yard in a hour: call for help."

"Your going in there to read to them?! In the current mood their in, they're bound to tear you apart." Allen said with worry in his voice.

"It's worth the try." She walks in the room to find Banica strapped down to her bed with Riliane hitting her gut with socks filled with soap, Kayo was having a sword fight with Sateriasis by using canes as Margarita was clinging onto his back and biting his ear, and Nemesis and Gallerian are having a slap fight, much to Allen's, Michaela's, and Clarith's surprise.

"HEY HEY HEY! STOP IT!" Allen yelled at them.

"I don't have to listen to you! You don't have a soul!" Nemesis sneered at Allen while pulling on her father's hair, Allen then sighed calmly and began to slowly take out his air horn again, the sinners stopped their violent activities when they saw the item and returned to their beds.

"Thank you." Allen proceeded to unstrap Banica in her bed. "Ok, like I said before: I understand how you all feel right now, but that type of behavior is unacceptable, and for that your all going to lay in your beds and take a time out for a while."

"That's not fair." Sateriasis muttered as he dropped his cane next to him.

"I heard that, that's why Clarith is volunteering to tell you stories for a while to past the time."

"Stories? We aren't children!" Gallerian pouted. "Besides don't we have a bunch of Freezis books back at the box?"

"Yes, but this is a complete set." Clarith said. "It has a great number of stories that you may never had heard before in your lives." She sat down and began looking at the contents of the book.

"Fine, but I won't like it." Riliane said, while sticking her tongue at her and laying on her stomach at the foot of her bed.

"Oh Rin dear, these tales are bound to change your mind in no time at all."

"I'll stand by the door outside in case something goes wrong." Michaela said as she left with Allen.

"Thank you, Michaela, Alright...does anyone know the story of "The Robber Bridegroom"?" They shook their heads, "That's good! Your gonna enjoy it, It does get a little graphic with the violence though so if your squeamish then I'm sorry."

"Was that seriously written by a young girl?" Nemesis asked.

"Yes, she wrote it when she was six. Alright, now to the story." Clarith got to the story. "Once upon a time there was a miller who had a beautiful daughter..."

The Robber Bridegroom

The Father appears to be a young man with light blue eyes, long blond hair tied into a ponytail, and wearing a dark yellow tunic, light brown pants and dark brown boots, and walking next to him was a little girl with long turquoise hair with a crown made of tiny flowers and wearing a dark aqua colored long-sleeved dress.

"Come Margarita, Night is almost upon us so we must take shelter at home." The Father said.

"Ok father." Margarita replied. "Oh look what I made you." She held up a flower crown similar to hers.

"Oh thank you love, your a very sweet girl." The Father said with a smile, he has been looking after Margarita since her mother died giving birth to her, he loves her dearly and wishes nothing more than to give her a bright future. As the years went by the girl had grown into a beautiful young maiden, many people were awed by her flawless beauty and personality that many wanted to be her friend while men wanted to marry her once she reaches her legal age, once she did, many suitors began to run to their home and begged her father to marry her off to one of them.

"Mr. Avadonia, I would be honored to take your daughter's hand in marriage." The first suitor said.

"I wish to marry the beautiful Margarita, Miller Avadonia, sir." The second suitor said.

"Oh good sir, I want your daughter to bare my child." The third one said, the other two looked at him with shock for saying too much detail. "What?"

"Hey hey hey! One at a time you three!" The Miller exclaimed. "If you're going to marry my child, I wish to know you men. Thereby I can determine which one I should marry my child to." The men did agreed to the Miller's words, little did they know is that Margarita has heard the whole thing from the other room, knowing full well that these men are not her type. The next day, The Miller started talking to these men and found out much to his displeasure that they're not worthy enough to be Margarita's match: the first suitor was marrying her for her looks, the second was a lazy slob, and the third was a philanderer. He kicked them all out much to Margarita's glee. "I didn't think finding a husband would be his hard." He sighed in exhaustion. Just then someone walked inside the house.

"Excuse me, is this the home of the Miller Alexiel Avadonia and his lovely daughter?" Said the stranger, Alexiel looked up and saw a feminine looking "man" with short brown hair and matching eyes, wearing a red tunic over his golden chain mil and black leggings and sleeves, a dark red cape and dark brown gloves with matching boots.

"This be the same place, and you must be..."

"Lord Banico Conchita." The man Answered, "Lord and Master of Conchita Manor, I'm a benevolent lord who rules his land with fairness and gives his riches to the poor."

"Oh yes! Lord Conchita! Your famous around these parts!" Alexiel exclaimed in excitement, "Ooooooooh it's an honor making an audience with you!" He shook Banico's hand fast.

"Oh but it should be I who should've said that, I came to seek your daughter's hand in marriage, good sir."

"Really? What best qualifies you as husband material for my daughter."

"Well I'm a very courageous adventurer for starters, I can bring back many exotic items for her, I'm rich and and pilled with good food, I have a careful hand so I won't lay harm to Margarita, I'm very understanding, I can cook as well as a woman would, and I'm great with children."

"And are you tied with Infidelity?"

"Never, my heart is ever so faithful."

"Very well, you may have my blessings, son-in-law." Alexiel smiles as he shook Banico's hand, Margarita had saw the whole thing, just when she's about to take leave, Alexiel spotted her. "Margarita my child, come meet your bridegroom!" She stopped. Not wanting to disobey her father, she shyly came out of hiding, she was wearing a white long sleeved dress with a dark aqua sleeveless slip dress over it, wearing a pair of dark teal slip ons, and her hair was in a long braid.

"Ahhh Margarita Avadonia herself." Conchito took her hand and kissed it. "Your just as radiant in person, my dear."

"Ch-charmed." Margarita squeaked.

"I propose we visit my manor, hopefully you'll know your way around once you settled down with me, milady."

"I-I supposed." She didn't know what to say, the Lord may seem nice but something was not right with the noble in front of her, something terrible, a few days passed, Margarita never once visited her Bridegroom until one day Banico visited them again to search for Margarita.

"My Daughter has not visited you?" Alexiel said with concern in his voice.

"Nay, Alexiel, not in many moons." Banico said.

"I'll take care of that, MARGARITA GET DOWN HERE AT ONCE!"

"NAY!" She yelled from upstairs.

"Let me take care of this good sir, I know how to handle a situation like this." Banico goes upstairs.

"Keep the door open!" Alexiel yelled, once upstairs Banico began searching for the young turquoise haired maiden in her bedroom, so far no signs of her...that is until he saw her feet sticking out from behind the curtains, he smiled as he gently walked over and grabbed the curtain. Opened it forcefully as Margarita let out a surprised shriek.

"Ha ha, I found you dear." He then swept her off her feet and began twirling the room with her. "Tell me this dear: You are engaged to marry me, but you have never once paid me a visit." He then placed her gently on the bed. "Why is that dear?"

Margarita knew why: she never trusted the man in front of her, she knew in her heart that a aura of terror was surrounding the man. But not wanting her father and herself harmed, she made up excuse saying: "I don't know where your house is."

"Is that all there is? Why it's in the dark woods of course." He said with a smile.

"I won't be able to find it there." She made another excuse, the man then stood proudly and said:

"Next Sunday you must come out to me. I have already invited guests. I will make a trail of ashes, so that you can find your way through the woods." He then kissed her cheek and departed from the bedroom, all she could do was sit on her bed, pouting. One week later, she was ready to depart despite being afraid for not particular reason, she put peas and lentils in the pockets of her dress, kissed her father goodbye and left. She walked along the path until she found the entrance to the forest, she can viably see a trail of ashes as what Lord Conchita had said. Readying her pockets, she began to walk along the path while laying down a path of peas with every step she took inside, for almost the whole day she had walked through the woods as the forest began to close behind her...she stopped...finally standing in front of Conchita Manor.

"So it does exist, it looks rather nice than I thought." Margarita thought to herself as she walked to the door, she knocked a couple of times, the door suddenly slowly opened by it's self, the manor was quite and barren. "Hello? Banico?"

~Turn back, turn back, you young bride.
You are in a murderer's house.~

Startled by the noise, Margarita looked around to see who had said that, all she could find was a white bird with red eyes and a lavender ribbon around it's neck, living in a cage hanging above the ceiling saying:

~Turn back, turn back, you young bride.
You are in a murderer's house.~

She was confused by the words of the winged creature, but decided to press forward by checking out the rooms of the manor, for almost an hour she was looking through the bridegroom's home until she found the dining hall, it was old and made of stone, by the door she saw the stairs to the cellar, she began to walk down the stairs until she saw a long hallway with walls that hold alcohol, but it seems that Margarita was not the only one, she sees a older woman with long pink hair, wearing a white blouse with puffed up sleeves that reached her elbows, brown slip on shoes, a pinkish red skirt, and a dark green corset. The woman seemed to be rolling barrels from one side of the room to another, she stopped when she saw Margarita by the door. As Margarita shyly waved with a nervous smile, the woman only sighed as she placed her hand on her forehead, Margarita walked towards her and asked:

"Are you a servant here?"

"Indeed I am, lass." The pink haired woman calmly said. "I'm what they call "Kayo", just plain "Kayo"."

"I see, well I don't want to be a burden, Kayo, but does the Bridegroom live here?"

"Oh, you poor child," Kayo sighed sadly. "Where did you come from?"

"From the village of Toragay, why?"

"Well now I'm sure it'll be too late to return, because you are in a murderer's den."

"Eh?" She was confused by what Kayo's saying.

"You think you are a bride soon to be married, but it is death that you will be marrying. Look, they made me put a large kettle of water on the fire. When they have captured you, they will chop you to pieces without mercy, cook you, and eat you, for they are cannibals." Margarita was shocked by her words, Banico a cannibal? Her feelings against the Lord was right after all, she needs to escape right away. "I was never able to save their previous victims but If I do not show you compassion and save you, you are doomed...that's the mistake I won't repeat again."

"This is bad, this is so bad!" She was in a panicked state. "But wait...you're a beautiful woman yourself, why aren't you a victim?" She asked.

Kayo then let out a irritated sigh while covering her chest. "One of Banico's men liked my bosoms and wishes to not cannibalize them."

"Oh...Then what can I do to escape? Surely the Lord will return soon."

"Luckily you're the one marrying him, because I have an idea on how to punish those monsters in someway,. Hide behind those barrels and be quiet, it'll all be over if they hear you." Margarita did as she was told, just then they heard voices from the dining hall. Kayo walked out of the cellar as Banico came in the room in a drunken stupor, behind him was five more people who are also drunk, two blond adults; one male and one female who appear to be fourteen years of age, a tall man with violet hair, a medium sized woman with green hair, and a another woman with messier hair, hair clips, and appears to be a legit teenager. They seemed to be holding a brown bag that is rapidly moving non-stop and making noises.

"KAYO! *hic* Where are you?!" Banico said as he dropped his bottle, breaking it.

"I'm standing right here." Kayo said, closing the cellar door.

"Bring me the wines! We got ourselves a good one here!" The bag was going out of whack.

"Knock it off, wench!" The teenage like adult woman slapped the bag, another person's groan can be heard in there. Kayo then went back into the cellar to get the alcohol her master requested, one was red, one the second is yellow, and the third is white.

"Just hang in there child, I'm looking for the opportunity to help us escape." Kayo said as she grabbed the bottles.

"Ok." Margarita replied. Back upstairs, they start untying the bag to reveal an attractive "woman" in her late thirties, she has shaggy blue hair, barefooted, and a grayish blue colored dress with bell sleeves and a wider shirt collar that reveals her shoulders, her mouth was gagged and her hands were tied. She kept on thrashing trying to escape.

"Oh it's a shame to waste a creature as lovely as Countess Galleria, but if we must, we must." The man with violet hair said as he brushed her face, wiping her tears away with his thumbs.

"Arte! Pollo! Prepare the wines." Banico said, the adult twins from earlier took the wines from Kayo and opened them, Margarita got out of her hiding spot and peaked through the trap door to see the commotion. She saw Banico undoing Galleria's gag.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, BANICO!? LET ME OUT THIS INSTANT!" The Countess yelled at him.

"Silence you whore and drink up!" Pollo pulled her hair back and shoved the bottle's nozzle in her mouth as Arte held on the woman's neck to force her to swallow, Galleria was choking on it before coughing, they kept giving her more and more wine until she became so drunk she passed out...or succumbing to alcohol poisoning, Margarita was horrified by the event, just when things start to take it's turn for the worst, Arte and Pollo took Galleria to the kitchen to begin "cleaning" her for supper, Margarita was so sick to her stomach from the experience that she wishes to get out as fast as she can.

"I'm deeply sorry about this child, I wish I can make this madness stop as well." Kayo sadly thought to herself, taking great pity on the innocent girl.

"Hey! Hey! I got a ring!" Pollo yelled from the kitchen.

"I wanna see!" Arte yelled next, the two began fighting over whatever they had in their hands until it flew out and landed on a plate in front of a girl who looks suspiciously like Arte, it was a finger with a golden ring on it.

"Ohh a pretty ring!" The girl said, it was soon taken from her hand by a man with violet hair.

"Let me see it!" His eyes gleamed in excitement before it was snatched by a woman with green hair.

"Whatever happened to ladies first? It's my turn to see it!" Soon enough Arte, Pollo, and three of the bandits began to fight over the ringed finger as Banico drank himself stupid, unknowingly to all of them that the finger rolled off to Kayo's feet. Finally giving her an idea, Kayo kicked the finger into the cellar.

"On the day of yours and Banico's wedding, present the ring to the participants, he and his men will then get what they deserved." Kayo whispered to the girl. Margarita took Kayo's words and put the finger in her pocket and hid in her hiding spot again.

"Hey the finger's gone!" The blond girl said.

"Where could've gone to?" Pollo asked.

"How should I know?!" Arte snapped. "You lost it in the first place you dingbats!"

"Seriously? Over a finger?" Banico slurred. "*Hic* You're as ridiculous as me on New Years."

"Relax gentlemen!" Kayo proclaimed, "Come and eat. You can continue looking in the morning. That finger won't run away from you."

"She's right, I'm starving." The Purple headed man said as he and the others sat down, Arte and Pollo looked at each other and shrugged before returning to the kitchen. "Oh and Kayo dear, can you suggest a good wine to go with our supper?"

"Indeed I will." She returns to the cellar again and began looking for something that Banico and his men would drink.

"I got something to show the people at my wedding but how can we leave?" Margarita asked.

"Simple dear." She took out a small bottle with pale green liquid. "A sleep potion, I'll slip these into their drinks."

"Oh yes, I made these for my father when he was sick, have you ever used it on them to escape?"

"And knowing that those bastards will continue with their cannibalism? I'm not having any of that, Banico will learn that meeting you would be the biggest mistake of his life."

"Your very brave, Kayo."

"Not at all, but now keep quite, I must give this wine to these hooligans." She walked up from the cellar with the sleep potion in hand, while Banico and his men are conversing in the dinning room, Kayo slipped the sleeping potion into the whole bottle of wine before she presented them the drinks, they soon consumed the entire bottle during supper, a very horrifying meal that the both of them had to endure watching. Afterwards, Banico and his men started to feel fatigue, unaware of the sleeping potion that was added to their drinks. A few minutes later, they succumbed to the sleeping potion and fell asleep. Laying all over the room, snoring can be heard. Satisfied with her work, Kayo opened the cellar door and signaled Margarita to come out. "They're asleep, let's go." Margarita hid the finger in her pocket and got out from behind the barrels. "Careful, we need to be careful on stepping over those animals." She points at Banico's men sleeping on the floor, carefully and surely they walked over their bodies in the darkness, at first Margarita was afraid, but luck was on her side when she and Kayo were able to make it to the other side, Margarita opened the bird cage to allow the bird to escape and both of the women ran into the night.

"I don't see any ashes, that's how I came here." Margarita looked around to see where the ashes went. "The went must've blown them away."

"Eh?"

"What?"

"What are those plants?" Kayo pointed at the ground, there was sprouts coming out of the ground.

"Oh! They're my peas and lentils! I placed them on the path so I won't get lost!"

"Lass, You just saved us the trouble." The two began to follow the path back to Toragay under a full moonlight during the night, until at last they made it back to her hometown by day break. Margarita knocked on her father's door.

"I'm coming!" Alexiel said from the other side of the door, he opened it wearing his night attire. "MARGARITA!" He exclaimed excitedly and hugged her tight.

"I missed you so much." Margarita said with tears in her eyes.

Alexiel was happy to see her well, he perked up when he saw Kayo. "Hm? Who's this woman?"

"I'm a friend of hers." Kayo said, "A friend who's about to tell you a horrifying secret about the Bridegroom." Alexiel was confused about what Kayo was talking about, but he decided to sit down and listen to what she has to say about Banico. From word to word, sentence to sentence, Alexiel was disgusted by the horrible truth Kayo told him and now wishes to have him and his posse arrested and executed, but the question that remains is:

"How are we to expose them as cannibals? Surly just plain tattling won't do any good."

"I have evidence father." Margarita said as she held up a ringed finger.

"OH MY GOD!" Her father jumped back in horror.

"Calm down sir, this is the evidence you need to expose them."

"Alright, I believe this could work."

A few days later

The day of Margarita's and Banico's wedding had arrive, Alexiel had invited his friends and relatives to come see the "wedding" taking place at the chapel, and of course Banico brought his men over to the wedding. Even though Margarita had planned on exposing them to the public with the finger, she plays along by dressing up in a beautiful white wedding dress.

"Ah my lady." Banico said as he kissed Margarita's hand, "Your absolutely gorgeous."

"Thank you my Lord." Margarita said, hiding her apparent disgust with him, her father stood up in front of people sitting.

"Family! Friends! and Acquaintances alike!" He said with Pride in his voice, "I propose that we dine on the food given to us before their union can take place!" He said the guest, hopefully to get everyone's attention in order to Expose Banico as a cannibal. "Surely we can't partake in the service on a empty stomach now could we?" Everyone complied and headed to the dining hall, Kayo was in the crowd, wearing a black coat. As everyone dined on their fill, they began telling stories to people, including the table Banico and Margarita are sitting at, everyone applauded to Banico for his story. He then looked to his bride to be and said:

"Margarita my bride." Banico said. "Come, sweetheart, don't you know anything? Tell us something, like the others have done." Perfect, now it's Margarita's chance, she stood from her seat and cleared her throat. Saying:

"Then I will tell about a dream. I was walking alone through the woods, when finally I came to a house. Inside there was not a single human soul, but on the wall there was a bird in a cage. It cried out:"

Turn back, turn back, you young bride.
You are in a murderer's house.

Banico listened closely to the story his bride to be was telling everyone, though what perked his interest was a bird mentioned in her story.

"Then it cried out the same thing again." Margarita looked towards her bridegroom and said: "Fear not Darling, it was only a dream." She then continued. "Then I went through all the rooms. They were all empty, and there was something so eerie in there. Finally I went down into the cellar, and there sat a pink haired woman, shaking her head. I asked her, "Does my bridegroom live in this house?"

Banico was biting his bottom lip, something about the pink woman in the story seemed familiar. Banico's men who are in another table began to ponder as well. "She answered, "Alas poor child, you have gotten into a murderer's den. Your bridegroom does live here, but he intends to chop you to pieces and kill you, and then he intends to cook you and eat you."

Banico was starting to suspect that she's referring to him, Kayo can only smile in the shadows. "Relax Darling, it was only a dream." Margarita kept reassuring him as she continued: "After that the woman hid me behind a large barrel. I had scarcely hidden myself there when the robbers came home, dragging a girl with them. They gave her three kinds of wine to drink: white, red, and yellow, which caused her heart to stop beating." Banico's men are staring to become uneasy from what Margarita was telling everyone, it started to sound familiar to them.

"Darling, it was only a dream." Margarita said again. "After that they took off her fine clothes, and chopped her beautiful body to pieces on a table, then sprinkled salt on it." The story has gotten everyone's attention, especially Banico and his men, his men began to slowly leave their tables, possibly to make a run for it for they're now sure that she was there without their knowledge.

"Darling, it was only a dream." Margarita said once more as she smirks in triumph. "Then one of the robbers saw that there was still a ring on her ring finger. Because it was hard to get the ring off, he took an ax and chopped off the finger. The finger flew through the air behind the large barrel, and fell into my lap. Margarita then stood on the dining table and held out the detached finger. "AND HERE IS THE FINGER WITH THE RING!" She yelled to everyone as she proudly held the finger. Everyone in the room were in a state of horror and shock, the women can be heard screaming. Banico was in serious trouble, while his men was apprehended by the guards attending the wedding, Banico tried jumping out the window, only to land in a net constructed by the guards at the bottom of the building.

"LET ME GO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" Banico said as he struggles to get out of the net, but failed miserably and was taken to the gallows along with his men, Margarita and Kayo looked on at the criminals as Alexiel hugs his child affectingly.

In reality

Clarith was reading the final page to "The Robber Bridegroom" from the Freezis Fairy tale book in the hospital room in front of the cranky and injured sinners. "And so the Bride's father decided to let his daughter live a life of her own, wishing her luck to find her own destiny and maybe find a lover who is not as cruel as the Bridegroom himself, and they all lived happily ever after...The End." The Netsuma closed the book in her hands, "Does anyone like it?...hm?" She asked before discovering that the sinners in the room fell asleep, they must've slept during her story telling, the only one awake was the Marchioness due to her lack of sleep, she was softly clapping at the story Clarith told.

"I liked it." Margarita whispered, attempting to be courteous to the people around her.

"Thank you." Clarith whispered as she tip toed out of the room before turning off the light, "I'll check on you guys later." Margarita laid down on her bed and attempted to sleep, all she can see was plain darkness due to her insomnia, gradually she let her thoughts go through her mind instead of dreams. Outside the room, Allen was sitting on the bleachers next to Michaela who was playing with the laces of her boots, They saw Clarith coming out of the room.

Michaela stood up. "Thank goodness your alive Clarith," She hugs her. "So how about it?"

"They fell asleep on me while I was telling the story." Clairth said as sat down next to Allen.

"Well that's good." Allen sighed in relief, "I just hope they calm down once they wake up."

"I hope so to." Clarith replied.

One hour later

They're in the hospital's waiting room, Clarith and Allen were making a house of cards while Michaela was sleeping on the table, just as they're enjoying themselves, they heard a woman screaming, which in turn woke up Michaela and knocked over the house of cards.

"What was that?" Allen asked.

"Did someone get hurt?" Michaela rubbed her eyes.

"Oh that's only the maternity room." Clarith said, just then a baby's cry can be heard.

"Oh thank goodness." Allen said as she breathed out in relief , the father was standing by the door waiting for his child, the door opened revealing a doctor who looks strangely familiar to the trio, the doctor removed his mask...it was Yingmu's emperor: Jun.

"Congratulations sir, your a father to a healthy baby girl." Jun said to the man standing by the door.

"Oh thank you, your Highness!" The father said happily as he hugged Jun, "Bless you Jun, bless you!" Once the father went inside the room, Jun caught glimpse of Allen and the girls.

"Heeeeyy!" He formed his wings and flew towards them, he then stopped.

"Jun? What are you doing here?" Allen asked.

"I sometimes visit the hospital to help people in need, like what you just saw now."

"Judging by the man's reaction I say you did a marvelous job." Clarith congratulated him.

"Thank you Clarith, so anyways Allen why are you here? Did Sickle broke his wings or something?"

"No." He answered. "There was a spider infestation in the basement and the sinners got caught up in the debacle, so now they're here recovering."

"No fooling?! I wanna see them!" He was about to fly to the room, Allen however grabbed his left leg.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, They've been very cranky about the incident and Clarith just put them to sleep, going in there would be like signing your own death warrant, you'll get massacred."

"Don't worry, I'll be quite as a mouse."

"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you."

They went up stairs to the room the sinners are staying at, Jun slowly opened the door and entered inside via flying, it was dark and quite with the exception of a faint light seen through the curtains, he looked upon the sleeping and bandaged sinners, he couldn't help but laugh at Nemesis, Gallerian, and Sateriasis for had happened to them, instead he silenced himself with light chuckling. The other five however, he felt great pity. "Jun?" He heard someone whisper his name, he began looking around to see who was talking to him, "Down here." He looks down and sees Margarita sitting on her bed, waving to him, He smiles and flies down to her bed.

"Hello Princess." He whispers as he sits down, crossing his legs "I heard what happened to you guys."

"So you heard?"

"Yeah, what did you guys do?"

"Well we tried everything to get them out, first I did a peaceful protesting, then Sateriasis tried stomping on then, and then he suggested blowing them up with my gift bomb, unfortunately the spiders attacked us from that bomb."

"That sounds scary."

"I know, it was awful." Margarita brushes her hair. "The spiders we're crawling all over me, the walls, the ceilings, the sinners, everywhere, it was a nightmare." She started shivering and shaking her head, "Those thoughts are haunting me, I wish I can sleep and forget." Jun hugged her tight.

"Shuuuuuu, it's ok, it's over now." Margarita hugged him back, feeling someone embracing her took her mind off of the incident, though seeing him again reminded her of something he mentioned today, she let's go of him.

"You were gonna tell me about the ring earlier, what is it?"

"I would tell but I want the others to know as well, we'll have to wait till they're awake."

"Ok." She pouted.

"In the Meantime I got you guys something." He raised his hands, seven different colored lights resonated from them, they started growing bigger and bigger until they stopped glowing, the seven lights became seven giant teddy bears that resemble each sinner in the room, each one floated gently down to the sleeping sinner's beds, one bear that resembles Margarita floated down to her arms.

"Are these for us?"

"Yes, do you like it?"

"I love it. Thank you." Margarita hugged the bear tightly, brushing her head against the toy affectionately.

"I'm glad." He smiled.

"Your too good to us, Jun."

"Aw shucks."

"Psst." Jun turned around and saw Allen sticking his head through the door, "Finish up, Jun. It's time to go, visiting hours are over." He whispered.

"Ok, I'll see you later once you guys cool down."

"Ok Jun."

Jun flies over to the exit, "Wait waaaait I almost forgot." He raised his left which summoned a red light which formed into another teddy bear, this time it resembles Jun and lands on her lap. Margarita mouthed "thank you" to him as the hybrid closed the door, Margarita laid down with the two giant teddy bears in each of her arms and a big smile on her face, she sees the walls growing darker, indicating that the sun is setting. Gradually she tries her best to sleep despite her insomnia, mostly to past the time since everyone around her are asleep.

END CHAPTER

Sorry if it took longer then it should've, I was never good at writing endings so it was put off to the side as a result. I hope you like it and I'll see you all in the next chapter.

*One of the inspirations for this chapter also is a MLP Episode where Rainbow Dash breaks her wing and was hospitalized, I'm not a brony or Pegasister so don't insult me.
