Chapter 8
"Um... I'm confused..." Erin whispered as Deliah returned back to normal.
"Why am I holding a doll!?" Deliah screamed, throwing the doll to the ground as she stood up.
"You love playing dolls Dede..." Serenity said quickly, hiding behind Erin.
"What is my hair?" Laura asked, fixing it.
Serenity shrugged her shoulders at Laura as she continued to hide. Reina smirked and kissed Mira, knowing it would surprise everyone.
"OoO~" Rebecca teased,"Reina and Mira sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Beeca!" Reina yelled, pulling away.
Unknown to Reina and Mira, Deliah had her claws out and was ready to hurt them both. As Deliah slashed her claws at Reina, Rebecca stepped in front of her, taking the shot as getting clawed in the eye. Rebecca shrugged it off though."
No one hurts my best friend!" Rebecca yelled, pushing Deliah to the floor.
The impact of the Deliah hitting the floor also caused her to pass out.
"Um.... Explain?" Erin asked to Rebecca.
Rebecca closed her eyes before holding onto Erin's hand, teleporting them into a clearing in the woods. Erin watched as and enthusiastic young Rebecca skipped after a young Reina who was carrying a backpack.
"Want to play a game?" The younger Reina asked her sister, clearly not wanting her sister to follow her.
"Yes please! What game?" The younger Rebecca asked cheerfully.
"I'll show you how it's done. Stand very still, okay?" Reina told Rebecca.
"What's happening?" Erin whispered to the older Rebecca.
"Shh. Just watch." Rebecca told her, continuing to watch.
The younger Rebecca smiled and laughed,"This'll be so much fun!"
Reina smiled back but... She was nervous. Why?
"Just close your eyes, okay?" Reina told her.
The young Rebecca closed her eyes as the young Reina turned around. Serenity came out from a portal and took her hand. Reina, with no hesitation, followed Serenity to the Light Side House.
"Reina? Can I open my eyes now?" Young Rebecca asked, but she never got an answer.
Erin gasped as her and older Rebecca passed through time, the forest clearing was getting a bit overgrown but a slightly older Rebecca stood perfectly still.
"You're showing me how she left you.. Right?" Erin asked the older Rebecca.
The older Rebecca looked sadly at Erin before showing Deliah corrupting a Rebecca in a completely overgrown forest. Erin lifted her hand to put it on Rebecca's shoulder to comfort her. Rebecca swatted her hand away.
"I don't need your sympathy." Rebecca muttered, crossing her arms.
"Rebecca, I am so sorry for what Reina did. But you guys are friends now!" Erin told Rebecca.
"So she claims... Alas... I have an urge to just... Hurt everything..." Rebecca said, returning to normal.
"Let's just.. go back. Okay?" Erin stated, holding Rebecca's hand.
Rebecca hugged Erin as the younger Rebecca turned into Intrusive Thoughts.
"You've changed for the better.." Erin whispered to Rebecca as they teleported back.
When they returned, Deliah was in the middle of fighting the sides. Serenity was being protected behind Laura who was casting a shield spell, Reina was injured and was kneeling on the ground and Mira was preparing a containment spell. Rebecca and Erin had teleported infront of Deliah, so Rebecca simply just pushed Deliah into Mira. Who teleported Deliah back to her Palace. Rebecca helped Reina up from the ground and hugged her tight.
Serenity jumped when the door was knocked on,"Um guys?"
"Oh yeah! You guys need to leave because my husband is coming back from his business trip." Erin explained.
"Bye!" Serenity said as they poofed away, although Laura stayed for a second.
"Ellie is there also." She told Erin before going away with the others.
Erin stood by the sofa as Eleanor and Oakley walked in. Eleanor ran over to Erin and hugged her, while Oakley stayed at the door. Oakley tossed a stack of papers that he was holding at Erin.
"What's this?" Erin asked, trying to pick them all up.
"Divorce papers." Oakley told her before he turned away and began walking away,"Have a terrible time."
Erin got up, looking at Oakley and she began to cry, "What about the girls?!"
"I don't care..." Oakley said, walking out.
Erin dropped the papers, turning to Eleanor who had witnessed the whole thing, "Ellie.."
"Shh..." Eleanor comforted Erin, knowing how she didn't deserve this,"Starbucks on Wednesday?"
"Sounds like a date." Erin chuckled as she wiped tears away.
"Maybe it is." Eleanor whispered as she walked after her brother,"I'm off to murder someone bye~"
Erin sighed as she walked upstairs, going up to the kids. Eleanor jogged down the street behind her brother. Oakley got his keys out for his house, unlocked it and walked inside. Oakley casually shut the door, or so he thought, as the door closed, Eleanor jammed her foot between the door and the wall and snuck inside. Oakley then walked through his living room, not hearing Eleanor behind him.
"You know, you really are a dick." Eleanor told him, leaning against the door.
"That's just your opinion." Oakley said, hearing his sisters voice.
"No, it's everyone's opinion." Eleanor argued,"You taught your eight year old daughter curse words!"
"So? She was going to learn it anyway!" Oakley argued back.
"She called her teacher a bitch and got suspended! You can't teach children that!" Eleanor yelled, walking towards him.
"Well maybe she shouldn't of called her teacher a bitch! Technically it's not my fault." Oakley told her in a calm tone.
"One, you taught her the word. Two, you've shown her that it's ok to have a horrible temper. Three, you've shown her that it's ok to solve problems with violence!" Eleanor listed the reasons.
"What one was this again?" Oakley asked as if his daughters were objects.
"Kasey. You two are more alike than you think." Eleanor informed him.
"Yeah right." Oakley said, sitting down on his couch.
"Well, you could have at least divorced her in a... Nicer way. She would've understood." Eleanor told him.
Oakley rolled his eyes and turned on the TV, "So what? Are you staying?"
Eleanor wrapped her arms around Oakley's neck and held him in a chokehold.
"Nah, I'm going to beat you up until I feel better." Eleanor said, not letting her grip loosen.
"I have no time for this Eleanor, I have someone coming over." Oakley told her, not moving yet.
"Is it a stripper?" Eleanor asked, throwing him to the floor.
Oakley luckily landed on his feet, "Of course not!"
"You know I'm nosy. Tell me who it is!" Eleanor demanded, diving at her brother.
Oakley moved out the way,"You really want to know?"
"Yes!" Eleanor yelled, landing on the floor,"I should have studied boxing instead of wrestling..."
"That was your mistake. The person who's coming is mother." He smirked, but he was lying.
Oakley just wanted Eleanor out of the house.
"Great... Except..." Eleanor stated standing up,"On that business trip, you declared that you never wanted to see her again!"
"She called for a surprise visit, I couldn't of said no!" Oakley lied again.
"You said no to Dad last week..." She muttered to herself,"Alright, I must get out of your holy house..."
Eleanor walked over to leave before she punched Oakley in the nose and walked out of the door.
Oakley grunted and held his nose as Eleanor walked out of the door. Eleanor made her way back to Erin's house and decided to take a nap on the couch. Erin came down the stairs and saw Eleanor on the couch. She smiled and sat on the armchair, letting her sleep. In Erin's mind, Rebecca was stroking a sleeping Reina's hair. Reina was in charge of Erin's romantic feelings so the divorce... Really hurt her. But Rebecca was not stroking Reina's hair any longer because Deliah had came, grabbed Rebecca and brought her to a dungeon where Shade and Asher were. Rebecca instantly noticed the couple's eyes. They were yellow and had snake slits... Deliah was controlling them.
"Welcome back, Rebecca." Deliah said with a bow.
Rebecca plonked her but on the dungeon floor and turned away from Deliah.
"Becca~ Don't be like that." Deliah walked behind Rebecca.
As Deliah walked behind her, Rebecca scooched her butt around so she didn't need to look at her.
"Rebecca. I'm not going to ask you more than needed." Deliah told her, backing up near Shade and Asher.
Rebecca turned to face Deliah but kept her eyes firmly shut.
"Open your eyes." Deliah told her, walking behind the couple.
"No." Rebecca said firmly.
"But we're here, Becca." Shade said, with a smile.
"No, You aren't Shade. You are a puppet on a string." Rebecca responded, keeping her eyes closed.
"Don't be mean~ They're only trying to help you. They want you back here just as much as I do." Deliah said, walking closer to her.
"No! You're manipulating them!" Rebecca yelled, trying not to open her eyes.
"Why would I manipulate them when all I want is you?" Deliah asked.
"Because you know that they'll be good leverage against me because they're like my second family!" Rebecca shouted, opening her eyes accidentally.
"Exactly." Deliah said before kissing Rebecca, corrupting her once again.
"Hey~" Intrusive Thoughts winked at Deliah.
"That gang is back together." Deliah smirked, "But it seems to me like we're missing someone.."
"I know who it is!" Asher yelled, sticking his hand in the air.
"Who may that be?" Deliah turned to Asher.
"We're missing Paranoia!" Asher stated proudly.
"Well done!" Deliah turned back to Rebecca. "Do invite her."
"Yes!" Asher exclaimed joyously.
Intrusive Thoughts nodded and teleported Mira to the dungeon.
"What the?!" Mira questioned, not knowing why she was there.
"Welcome to the party!" Asher yelled.
"It's great to have you here!" Rebecca stated.
"Boo!" Shade yelled from behind Mira.
Mira screamed in shock. She was very easily scared, she was fear after all. Deliah walked up behind Mira, tapping her shoulder.
"I'm going to turn around and regret it, aren't I?" Mira asked the others.
They all nodded with a smirk. Mira sighed as she turned around, straight into Deliah's lips, transforming her into Paranoia.
"Now the party is complete!" Deliah told them all with a smile.
"Can I?" Asher asked impatiently, holding up a bottle of vodka.
"No! Me first!" Rebecca ran over to Asher.
"Split it evenly?" Asher offered, making two shot glasses appear.
"I think we all should take a shot." Shade said with a smile, walking behind Asher.
Asher sighed, smashing the bottle on his head and letting it stop into his glass. Rebecca took her shot glass and got some of the vodka, while Shade did the same.
"This was the easiest way." Asher stated, drinking his shot.
"Long live having some fun." Shade toasted before taking her shot.
"To always being wicked!" Intrusive Thoughts announced, taking the shot.
Deliah and Mira walked up the trio.
"Having fun?" Deliah asked.
"Well, yes. That is our motive, correct? Being able to be free and fun?" Shade questioned.
Deliah nodded, "Of course."
"Told you Asher." Shade teased,"I'm always right."
Asher shook his head, "Not always."
"Tell me one instance that I was wrong." Shade told him, crossing her arms.
Asher thought for a second.
"Well.." He then turned around to the others, "When has Shade been wrong?"
"That time..." Intrusive Thoughts began before pausing,"Actually... No you were wrong."
"Didn't she say.." Deliah stopped herself, "No, I was wrong.."
Paranoia just shrugged her shoulders,"Shade's right, she's never wrong..."
Shade pointed at Asher, "Ha! Told you!"
"I feel really stupid..." Asher stated, scratching the back of his head.
"You should do, I told you I was right." Shade told Asher, crossing her arms.
"And she was right about it." Intrusive Thoughts added before asking,"Hey De, can I talk to you?"
"I can spare a few minutes, what is it?" Deliah asked Rebecca, separating them from the others.
"Look at my eyes, De." Intrusive Thoughts told Deliah.
Deliah looked down at Rebecca and noticed that her eyes weren't yellow like the others, they were green.
Rebecca smirked, before doing a small wave, "Hiya~"
Deliah tried to turn Rebecca into Intrusive Thoughts again but was unsuccessful. In her rage, she teleported the dark sides and light sides to a dark cemetery. Reina and the light sides were at one side while Deliah and the dark sides were at the other.
"Rebecca?" Reina asked, seeing her sister.
Rebecca waved at Deliah before she danced her way over to the light sides.
Shade watched as Rebecca went over to the light sides, "Becca? What are you doing?"
Shade, Asher and Mira were still under corruption by Deliah.
"Being not corrupted." Rebecca stated proudly, standing next to her sister.
Reina hugged her sister as she whispered, "Can we help them?"
"Yeah, I wouldn't have come if I couldn't." Rebecca whispered back, letting go of her sister.
Deliah had her arms crossed.
"So how long have you been normal?" Deliah asked, knowing something must've stopped her being corrupted.
"Since I got Mira for you." Rebecca told her, fixing her cape.
"Great. If I ask you to come back, would you?" Deliah asked, uncrossing her arms.
Rebecca took a deep breath as if to say yes before saying,"No."
Asher walked forward, "Why not?"
"Because Deliah... I love you girl but... You're kind of a b-" Rebecca began to explain before Serenity cut her off.
"Not nice person!" Serenity said quickly.
Rebecca turned around and gave Serenity an 'Are you serious' look before turning back around to Deliah.
"Alright censor button..." Deliah began,"Fu-"
"Fudge!" Serenity interrupted.
"Sh-" Asher started.
"Sugar and Spice!" Serenity interrupted again.
Reina burst into laughter at this newly discovered fact.
Laura sighed,"This is Morality, remember? It is in her nature to censor out swearing. Now, what are we here for?"
Rebecca turned to Deliah, waiting for an answer, "Care to explain to them?"
"I want to have a singing battle." Deliah told her simply.
"A what?" Laura asked, confused at the term.
"A singing battle." Deliah said again.
"Mind explaining?" Reina asked, they all had never had a singing battle before.
"So I step forward and sing a song. Once I am done, Rebecca will sing. We will continue in the order of the line until everyone has sang." Deliah explained to them.
They all nodded in understanding.
"We're gonna hear you sing!" Serenity said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. It isn't that big of a deal. I only did it because you insist on... No violence." Deliah told her, crossing her arms.
