Candice

I met up with Lindsey on my own. It was my responsibility now to take down Michelle and Lindsey still needed someone to lock up for the murders.

"I don't know Candice the problem is with this many crimes including pinning the mass murder from Japan on her she'll get the death penalty. With someonthing this severe she won't even sit on death row. The problem is if she's the devil you can't kill what's already dead..." Lindsey explained to me and I nodded.

"Look I say at least we lock her up for now so she can't hurt anyone else and we can go from there." She nodded in agreeance.

"I can live with that, now we just have to find her." She sighed and put her head into her hands.

"That might be easier then you think." I said with a gentle smile and she looked up at me.

"Do tell." She said curiously crossing her arms across her chest.

"I might have a few ideas, I'm gonna get Gerald and we can meet at your house okay?" I said and she nodded.

"Alright and hey when you come over bring back my fucking coffee table." She hissed, got real close to my face and glared.

"Ok babe." I pecked her lips and hopped outta her car, and headed for Gerald's apartment.

Gerald

Candice texted me she was coming over of course I wasn't still as quick to trust her. I know it wasn't her fault but living her entire life under the control of the devil had to affect the way she did things.

She opened the door to my apartment and I glared at her, "you could knock." I said sarcastically.

"You didn't. Now two things I need you to help me get a coffee table back to Lindsey's, and I also need your help framing Michelle for the murders so Lindsey can arrest her." She said and I stared at her.

"Why do you need my help with the coffee table? You did just fine getting it to your house." I said and took a sip off my glass of gin.

"I can't teleport things anymore Gerald." She said annoyed and folded her arms, "I think I'm gonna miss that." She chuckled.

"Alright fine, let's go and you can tell me about the other one the way." We headed out the door and got in her car.

"Right so we want to put Michelle in prison to stop her from hurting anyone else until we can figure out how to get rid of her. As in send her back to hell." She said as we drove to her huge mansion.

"Okay where do I come in?" I asked as she stopped at a light and she turned to look at me.

"I understand if you don't want to but I need you to draw her out. She wants you dead Gerald, you are the only one left..." She trailed off as the light turned green and went back to driving.

"I'll do it. But I have to ask you something  and I want you to be honest." I said not sure how well this question was gonna go over.

"Shoot I've got nothing to hide now." She said as she pulled into her driveway.

"If you could trade me as the one who survived for Millie would you?" I asked and she took a deep breath before looking at me.

"No, I don't think I could ever face Millie again. I love her and I miss her but things happen for a reason." She got out and I followed her inside and we took apart the table and loaded it into her car.

We drove in silence to Lindsey's and unloaded her table and set it back up in her house. "Great thank you now I don't have to arrest you for theft." Lindsey said and kissed Candice's cheek.

"Well that's great now Gerald is going to help us draw out Michelle so we can arrest her. We just need to render her powerless temporarily which I borrowed Megan's book so we can do that." She said and opened the book glancing through it.

"Yeah I'm sure you did borrow it," I muttered, "without asking."

"Perfect 'Feeble Tea' will make her powerless." She said completely ignoring me. "Invite her for tea Gerald and we will spike it, then when her powers stop working Lindsey can arrest her." She said and Lindsey nodded.

"This should work, you make the tea and Gerald you get a meeting going. I'll prepare the paperwork."

We went our separate ways for a few hours. I knew Michelle was watching all of us so I hoped she didn't know the plan and I went back to my apartment. I cut my hand with a knife and wrote on my wall an address and her name. After doing so I texted Candice and Lindsey and waited at the park I told her to meet at.

"Hello Gerald." I heard her voice and glanced next to me to see her.

"Hello Michelle." I motioned to the tea next to me as I sipped mine. I didn't have powers so Candice said it would have no effect on me if she made me drink it.

"Tell me Gerald how's life? I still don't get how you escaped." She took a sip of the tea and froze as her powers went out.

"Guess you'll have to wait a little longer to find out." I said as Lindsey and Candice popped out.

"Michelle Morningstar you're under arrest." Lindsey said and threw cuffs on her and walked her over to her car.

"Good work Gerald now come on Ryan and I think we found the cure for Emberly." She grabbed my arm and pulled me off to her car.

Emberly

I sat in Ryan's and Candice's makeshift lab as Candice arrived with Gerald. I hugged Gerald as Candice ran over to Ryan.

"What do you got?" She asked him and peered into the microscope.

"So the bat blood was in fact infected with rabies like you thought. The silver tried to counteract the rabies causing a chemical effect." He explained

"Mhm go on." I listened as he explained the break down to Candice.

"Now the rabies and the drug Krator combined together because they apparently come from similar genes. This didn't quite make since until I studied Krator more and it has apparently the same effect as rabies but not as potent and wears off." He said and Candice nodded.

"Ok and the methane?" She asked and Ryan beamed.

"The methane was like a bomb it cause a booming reaction and created a permanent effect by taking the use of the ultimate power drug and counteraction to create a zombie like effect. All while still keeping Emberly 90% a normal human." The man looked like he discovered the cure for cancer and Candice grinned.

"Of course so we just need to give her a rabies vaccine and a counteraction to the methane and it will sort it's self out." She said and he held up a needle.

"I got it!" He said in a sing-song voice and she looked at me with a smile.

"Ready to be cured Emberly?" She asked me and I squeezed Gerald's hand.

"I've never been more ready." Ryan came over and injected me with what he created in the needle. It was shocking I couldn't believe it but the cravings went away.

I was normal again, I was cured.
