Chapter 3: Changes
~part 1: A surprise.
Melanie: Well ain’t that a bitch!

When you hear a magi-blood says that it usually is from surprise. This wasn’t any different Melanie Gabrielle oh no! She had found herself a surprise…

Lucy: Well ain’t that a bitch indeed!

Chained up to the wall was Lillium Seraphina, Lucy’s younger half-sister and one of her Father’s generals. Lillium was knocked out and Maxim Seraphina, Lucy and Lillium’s cousin with Rachel Rosangela walked up to them.

Lucy: Where did you find her?

Rachel: In Russia trying to buy things from the red market.

Mel: Jesus! This is why I am trying to watch what Angel Corp puts out.

Maxium: I can’t blame you. But anyways she’s waking up.

The four look over and Lillium’s eyes open to see them.

Lillium: Let me go you Snuk!

Lucy: You’re the bitch!

Lillium; I won’t tell you anything! You can torcher me and I still won’t say a word.

Lucy turned to Rachel and she had the biggest smirk on her face.

Rachel: Oh I’ll make you talk. Maxim, go and patrol Russia a bit more…Mel, Lucy let me handle this.

A dark laugh escaped Rachel’s lips as she snapped her fingers. Claude walked out from the darkness and Lucy already knew what was going to go down. Lucy grabbed onto Maxim and Mel and ran off with them as fast as she could.

Maxim: What are they going to do?

Lucy: Marescape her.

Mel hissed and shivered.

Melanie: Basically induce her worst fear to break her down. Plus I think Claude is looking for some pay back.

Just as Mel finished that sentence the three of them hear a scream coming from the sub-basement.

Maxim: I see what you mean.

Melanie: Oh yeah tell me about it!

Lucy: No need. Anyways did you learn anything else?

Maxim nodded.

Maxim: Anisim is around in Russia. I have no idea why but he is.

Lucy didn’t say anything.[/color]

Melanie: Where about?

Maxim: Not sure but I felt him.

Lucy: I gotta feeling he was around the red market again.

Lucy took out her phone and that’s all she needed to hear…[/color]

~Part 2: Lucy’s point of view~
Right now though I was in Russia with Lucien, my twin brother looking for our Father as always. It wasn’t snowing and that made Lucien very happy. He never liked the cold like I did. It was in the eighties and that was Lucien’s weather. He enjoyed heat and I enjoyed cold and at times I questioned how we were twins. Lucien turned to me and noticed I was distracted.

Lucien: What’s up Luce?

Lucy: Hm?

Lucien: You’re not focused.  

Lucy: Yeah I know I have things on my mind.

Lucien: Push it out of your mind and focus on the mission.

Lucy: Easy for you to say.  

Lucien took out his lighter and started to play with it. Was I annoying him? He only does that if he’s annoyed. I look into his eyes and didn’t see the look he’d give someone like Claude or Stefan. I shook my head and walked up to him.

Lucien: Shouldn’t be that hard. You focus is to be looking for Dad right now with me. I know you’re worried about the others but not now. I need you here and not away.

I sighed and shook my head.

Lucy: Just because you can block your emotions out easy doesn’t mean that I can do the same Lucien.

Lucien: I never said that.  

Lucy: Yet you act like it.

I heard Lucien scowl causing me to ignore him. I didn’t sense anything and that made me worry. Maybe our Father wasn’t here and he was someplace else. But usually he’d be here in Russia, Lucien lift up his lighter to the night sky and looked at the flame.

Lucy: For a black blood you love fire.

He mocked me causing me to chuckle.

Lucien: Got a candle on ya?

Lucy: Yeah what color do you need?

Lucien: Hand me a red one.

Lucy: Of course.  

I reach into my bag and looked for the red candle. After a few moments I was able to pull it out and tossed it to him. Lucien set it on the ground and checked to see if anyone was around.

Lucy: You’re clear Luce. No one is out during the night too much.

Lucien bent over to light the candle.

Lucien: Fire lead us to him, I, Lucien Seraphina invoke thee!

He didn’t need to even touch the wick with the lighter, it lit up and a line of fire trailed up. Lucien grabbed the candle and we took off running. This seemed too easy; it was like our Father wanted us to find him.  

Lucy: This could be a trap.

Lucien: Let’s spring it. Makes me wonder what the old man has in store for us.

Lucy: Only you Lucien would do something like this!  

Lucien: Do you expect anything else?  

Lucy: Nope!  

Lucien: Hopefully it’s not a bio-demon or any of those things. Seeing how we don’t have Mel it’ll be a pain in the ass to take them out.

[coor=green]Lucy: Yeah I hear that! So help us lord if there is darklighters, Michelle wants to take them all out.  [/color]

Lucien: Oh I know that for a fact.  

Lucy: I wonder what our dear old Dad is planning though over all.  

Lucien: Simple “Join or die”.  

I nodded in agreement as the trail suddenly stopped. The flame on the candle went out and Lucien and I were looking around. It was quiet…too quiet. I had my blades and dagger ready and Lucien had his lighter. Something didn’t feel right though, it was like any wildlife was gone from this area.  

Lucien: You alright?

Lucy: Something isn’t right Lucien.

I screamed out feeling my side starting to burn…that side where he stabbed me. Shit! It was a trap.

Lucy: We need to get out of here!  

Lucien: Why what’s-

“Hello my children”.

He came out from the darkness and both Lucien and I were ready to pounce on him. Our Father was standing before us and it wasn’t an illusion. I could tell from how much power he was letting out and Lucien was trying to keep in control. The air around us started to change from a warmth to a freezing cold.

Anisim: It’s been so long.

Lucien: Fuck you!

Anisim: No my dear son that would be incest.

Lucy: We’re taking you either in or out for good.  

Anisim: Now my sweet daughter why would you want to? Look you two should be by my side. You’ve both been gone for so long and we all miss you.

Lucy: We‘ll never join you. We would rather be dead before turning on our people!  

Lucien: You may have once controlled me but never again!

Anisim tsked at us.  

Anisim: You’re my children and you will do as I say!  

Lucien threw his lighter up in the air and the flame expanded. Lucien caused the fire to go towards Father. Anisim fell back and I grab my daggers out of my boots throw them at him. Anisim jumped back dodging them. I got the daggers back and Anisim took out a sword. He swung it at me, I ducked and Lucien blasted him with a fireball. Anisim hit his back on a tree and I caused the branches to hold him. Father roared in anger.  

Lucy: Did we just?

Lucien: I…I think we did.

I walked over to my Father and flicked my wrist, the blade came from it and I pointed at his throat.

Lucy: Don’t try anything.

Lucien took out his phone and dialed for Mel. I growled.  

Lucy: Don’t fuck me with me old man!

Anisim: If you let me go-

Lucy: Fat chance.  

Lucien: The others will be here in a bit.

Anisim: Lucien don’t you want the Lajoie boy dead?

Lucien: And even if I did what of it?

Anisim gave a sickly smirk at us. I wanted to stab him right in his throat but I resisted. For all the hell he put us through I wasn’t going to end it without getting him home. I wasn’t about to rob Rachel of that. Our Father’s eyes turned black and red and me looking down into them made the pain in my side worsen. I screamed out in pain and feel down onto my knees.

Lucien: What are you doing to her?!  

Anisim: Oh nothing I swear.

I felt myself slowly starting to slip away from the pain. I was going to pass out it was overtaking me like Lucien accidently hitting me with a white hot fire ball. Tears fell from my eyes and I tried to fight the pain off. The world was becoming a blur from the tears and the pain. I tried to get to my feet but my body wasn’t able to handle it.

“Lucy”!  

My body hit the ground and I, in that moment wondered if I was going to die.

~Part 3:Limbo?
Lucy felt herself surrounded by darkness. She wondered if this was death…if she’d get her choice or not. Lucy felt her arms wrap around her as her head rested on her knees.

Lucy: And I did what I said didn’t I? Mel did what she said didn’t she? How many times do people need to question us before we shut them up? I realize that over the past week I’ve been rather quiet when it comes to voicing my opinion on the match that will soon occur, I fully believe there is a time and place when one must say what they need too and of course when someone speaks too frequently their words have less impact. Case point when people who stand in front of Mel and I. They talk all they want but they can’t get the damn job done for the main part. Now am I one to judge them simply based on this fact? No. It’s a part of our job to speak in such a way, what I will say however is that it’s hard to believe someone who’s lied to you so many times and continually try and take them seriously.

In our case no one has lied. Every promise the Angel Clan has made thus far, we’ve kept. I mean I got to add Amy Marshall to my wall and soon I’ll be adding Candy Overton. I guess if Alexis Edwards wants on the wall just as bad I can do that. That’s fine you can say what you want about how the army fights, but in the end what matters is that we win the battles. I’m no stranger to fighting in fact it’s been in my blood since I was born. I’ve always had to fight for everything I’ve received unlike those who believe they are privileged.

Mel and I have fought together and against since we were born and no one else can say they’re better. When you’ve grown up together and you know each other inside and out that makes a deadly combo. Amy, Candy can you two really trust each other? I mean if you think about you can’t. This is an honest observation. Amy could turn on Candy in a heartbeat leaving her in the ring. This is going to be interesting.

So we have Amy…oh last time we faced each other it felt so damn good…minus when we both got jumped. You know I know you want this belt back and it’s fine. Come and try to take it from me but that’s if you can even get pass this match. Oh and me winning this belt isn’t a fluke either. No I worked for it and damn it I deserve it. But the eyes are on you…how much do you want to win this match? How much do you want this title back? Hell if I know! Amy you see people want to toy with us till tick, tick boom. We snap and people end up getting hurt. As much as I want to give these guys the benefit of a doubt, they’re going into the unknown. No one is ever ready when they face us; we come out from the darkness and bam! They’re on the mat faster than Jeff the killer can say “Go to sleep”. These guys I hope they can fathom some game plan because with us, you never know. We’re mystery that people have tried to solve for years only to fail. You failed trying to solve me and oh Mel hasn’t forgotten you interfering in her match. And one more thing Amy…yes I’m Russian but I’m no communist.

Then we have Candy Overton. I don’t have anything bad to say about her. Really Candy it’s the wrong place wrong time ordeal. I know you’re going for Mel’s title and all but please stay out of my way. I’m not afraid to take you down if it means taking Amy down as well. Like I said earlier, can you trust Amy? I doubt it. Right now she talks but you know talk is petty shit. Actions count and your actions got your title shot. Good luck with that. Mel’s apparently “insane” from what the ring people have said. You may be sweet now but by the end of this match you’ll be sore.

Ladies get ready for us.If you guys think we’re going to let you win this you’re dead wrong. Dead and stupid wrong. We’re the Clan, we’re survivors, and we’re the ones who always set the bar. If you try to get rid of us, we come back stronger and larger than ever. If these crazy bastards want to be put down so be it. Don’t think for a second we’re not going into this match ready for war. It’s rage time bitches and someone is going to bleed, someone is going to break and someone is going to scream. Remember you’re going up against three Clanmates who are ready to fight. Believe that.

Lucy suddenly got blinded by light. Lucy blinked a few times and saw Mel, Lucien and Rachel over her.

Melanie: Welcome back!

Fade to black.
