Third Person POV
"We'd better find the baby boy again or I'll destroy everything on this floor." Audra muttered.
"I believe there is something special in all of us."
"What the hell?"
"Who are you?" Audra asked.
"Especially you two."
"Fffuuuck yooou." Alinta cursed. "Hi, Joey Drew."
"That's Joey?" Audra asked. "I thought he'd be in a business suit, not look tasty for me to eat."
"Audra, don't you dare." Alinta growled.
"Come on up! Let's take a little walk. There's something I want to show you." Joey said.
"Oh shit. Oh shit!" Alinta muttered darkly as she climbed up the ladder. Audra had used her air magic to get up there.
Once everyone was gathered, Audra asked, "So, meat loaf, what did you want to show us?"
"There you go! Follow me." Joey said.
"Oookaaay, that's weird." Audra acknowledged.
"But mind your step."
"Oh, because the building is old and there's goddamn forsaken hellspawn ink creatures everywhere?" Alinta asked. "Sure, we'll watch our step."
Cue the Slicer jumpscare.
"Aaaa!" They yelped. Well, except for Joey. He was busy walking away.
"That little piece of shit!" Alinta growled.
"This old place is full of surprises." Joey said. "I should know. I've worked here for a long time."
"And you created these monsters that you call art." Alinta growled.
"But what is this place?" Audra asked.
"An ink-filled hell made for those unlucky enough to be caught in it." Alinta barked.
"It's a cycle." Joey replied. "An ink-stained nightmare forever stuck on repeat."
"That's one damned way to say it." Alinta muttered.
"With just a pencil and a dream..." Joey continued. "...And a little help from the Gent Corporation, it came into being."
"And because of your STUPIDITY, we have Lost Ones and Searchers who didn't want to be that way." Alinta argued. "Fuck you and your stupid company!"
"Alinta Helias Revanche, watch your mouth!" Audra scolded, slapping Alinta on the back of her head, making her yelp.
"From what I gather, it exists in parallel to the outside world." Joey theorized.
One of Alinta's veins popped. "Whatthefuckdidyoujustsay???"
"But completely removed from the march of time." Joey said.
"Hold on." Audra hissed. "Backtrack to that comment, food. Did you just say that it's parallel to the outside world?"
"That means it'll leak, fucker." Alinta growled. She had the urge to bite his face off. "You little son of a bitch, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
"And like a record, played over and over again." At this point, they have reached a door that said, "There is ALWAYS HOPE." Joey says, "It's begun to crumble, wear down."
Alinta's eyebrows twitched as she angrily retorts, "But it's still leaking into the real world, Joey."
"Can I eat him? Please?" Audra begged.
"This studio is a monument to choosing the wrong road."
"Coorrrection, it's a monument of YOUR mistakes, Mr. Sunshine." Alinta said.
"Now whether it was built for revenge or regret, I don't know."
"It's both, dumbass." Alinta remarked.
"Alinta, what did I just say?" Audra hissed, jabbing Alinta with her elbow.
"That's my riddle to solve."
"UuuuuuggghhAAAAA-" Alinta screamed.
"Come over here for a sec." Joey beckoned.
"Why?" Audra asked as Alinta started to tear at the walls in her frustration. No answer from Joey. "Fine. Come along, wolfy." Audra said, dragging a somewhat feral Alinta near a too-calm Joey. "Now, why did you want us to come here?" Audra asked again.
Joey turned around and explained, "The truth is-"
"No, no. EXPLAIN." Audra interrupted.
"Someone out there is messing with what's in here."
"Well, obviously! Otherwise I wouldn't be on this mission." Audra responded.
"Bad things have begun to emerge from the puddles."
"But you made these creatures, right?" Audra prompted.
"Wicked creatures that never came from my pen."
"Oooooh. Well, um, dang it." Audra said.
"The worst ones call themselves Keepers. Dangerous, deadly folks."
"So... That means we need to find Kaiso. Quickly." Audra noted. "Got it."
"They've taken over the old Gent Workshop, just beyond the sewers." Joey says informatively. Audra gulped. Alinta was currently destroying the room they were in. "Trying to bring what they call order to this world."
"Riiight. As if the cycle really needed it." Audra said. She glared at Alinta sternly. "So what can we do to help?"
"Freezing the cycle in place! Changing the script!"
"Sir meathead, we get it. Just tell us how to help get it back in motion." Audra said seriously.
"Whatever answers you're looking for, you'll find them there."
"Joey freaking Drew, answer my gosh-darn questions!" Audra roared. Her patience was waning. Joey didn't answer. "Not again!" Audra forcibly pulled the feral Alinta near Joey and growled sharply, "Why can't you just fix it?"
"Look, above all, never forget."
"Joey-"
"You're here for a reason. There's always a reason."
"Yeah, and it's to fix the cycle!" Audra hissed.
"Even if you can't understand it."
"...Where in the world is Kaiso when we need her?" Audra wondered. "Why couldn't you just fix this world?"
"Because I'm not the man. I'm just...the memory." Joey pulled his arms into a mummy-like cross and floated through the door. The door opened, revealing a grave for Joey Drew.
Audra and the finally-calm Alinta stared at it, open-mouthed and shocked, confused even. Alinta spoke first. "I-I thought he'd appear to someone else instead."
"I can't eat him." Audra said in disappointment. "He's already dead."

My stuffed animals' POV
"Mooooooooooooooom!" Maleficent the Dragon shouted. "Great-Grandma sent us a story!"
"YAAAY! She's finally letting us read her stories!" Fennekin the Fox yelped.
"What? Let me see that." Charlotte the Tiger snatched the pages. "It's only one chapter!"
"No fair!" Jenny the Dog shouted.
"What's that note?" Conrad the Dragon pointed to the slip of paper.
T the Tiger swiped it before Drow could burn it. Spooky looked confused. "What's going on?" Spooky asked.
T read the note. "Dear children, you have been granted a late St. Patrick's Day present. Remember to be good and no leprechauns will pinch you! Love, A.M."
"What does - WAAIIT a minute. Are we supposed to read this?" Matcha guessed.
"If we are supposed to read it, then let's read the story!" Charlotte cheered.
"YAY!!!" Maleficent shouts. T sighed.
"Then let's get to it."
December 12
Emerald's POV
Emerald hissed through her teeth, the numbing her current anger at her friend. It was her birthday, for the love of Arceus! How did that unicorn possibly forget that today was his friend's birthday?! The argument he had wasn't even an argument at all! It was his excuse to go off and use his ill-used royal power to gain more magical and achieve immortality.
Emerald felt herself changing, but she didn't care. Ice shimmered in the air, practically BEGGING to be used as a weapon.
She grabbed those shards as the maid came in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm sorry, EMERALD'S EVOLVING?" Mango asked as her sister dragged her into the security room/office.
"Yeah, and she's making ice." Kiui said.
"Well, I'm glad I'm a Mercat." Mango muttered.
Hikari burst into the room, saying, "I'm sorry, I just got the text and ran as fast as I could to see -"
"It's fiiiine. You're just in time to see our cousin's final form!" Kiui said, pulling up camera footage. Pft, kittens.
"What is she doing?" Mango wondered.
"Take a look, but don't look at the maid." Kiui warned.
"Why not?" Mango asked. Hikari took a look at the feed and gasped.
"She froze the maid!"
"What the - HOLY SALMON!"
Panic ensues as Kiui sighed, shaking her head in annoyance.
"Will you two stop panicking for five minutes? If Emerald's evolving like this, then she's becoming one of those Frosters." Sylvia barked on her end of the call. A glare was directed at the screen. "Okay, fine, one of the ice-type Pokemon. Happy?"
Mango mumbled an apology, while Hikari hissed, "How are you so calm about this? Emerald j-just - I don't know, encased a maid in ice!"
"I'm scared too, but I wanna see where this is going," Sylvia replied. "And your apology is accepted, Mango."
"If you ask me, I think little Emerald here is going to execute the rulers of that empire." Scylla piped up.
Merlina asked, "Why would you think that?"
"Because I did that, too."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emerald looked deeply into her ice statue's eyes, muttering, "Interesting." She strode into the hallway. "Now where's Dasher?" Her heels clicked as she stepped through room after room in the castle, even freezing the palace staff as she passed by.
At this point, no one would recognize Emerald as who she was before. Her eyes and hair were colored in different shades of icy blue, unlike the brown hair and eyes she had only several moments before. It was only a short period of time before almost a third of the castle was covered in ice, the temperatures were dropping every five seconds, and a huge blizzard was covering the city outside in ice and snow.
"Halt! Who are you, and what business do you have with the AAA -" A guard was frozen near the dining room.
Emerald stepped into the room. "That was too easy. The fools are definitely planning something." She hissed angrily. Emerald was seething with rage, ready to go outside and worsen the snowstorm outside. For one, yī would not mess with an angry woman such as Emerald, but another wouldn't care.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What did you mean by you did it too, Scylla?" Mango asked cautiously.
"Yeah, did you pull that off?" Kiui demanded, her cat ears pointing upwards in excitement.
"Kiui Banana Mochisolar, are you actually asking if our former clan leader pulled off whatever stunt Emerald is doing?" Hikari sternly asked.
"Well, yeah! I wanna see if Cousin Emerald has a fighting chance!"
"What a town." Sylvia said sarcastically.
"Oh my - WHAT IN THE NAME OF ARCEUS IS -"
"While Merlina starts to rant, NO, I did not really pull it off, someone else did it for me." Scylla eventually replied as Merlina stared rambling about grounding her daughter for the next month.
Hikari gave a warning look to Kiui as she looked at the video. "Good news - or bad, I don't know - Emerald just froze half of the castle staff and the guards."
"Well, that explains why Merlina wants to ground her daughter." Sylvia remarked.
"I'm sooo going to tell everyone we meet how Emerald froze the castle." Kiui said in a smart-alec tone.
"Same, but it's going to be behind her -"
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" Both children shouted, watching as Emerald chained the two rulers to the wall.
"They're dead...They're gonna be dead..." Mango stared at what was happening.
Kiui asked, "Can someone call an ambulance for those mother fluffers?"
"On it!"
"Don't encourage them, Scylla."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally. She found them. Now they are going to pay.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"AAAAMAAARIIIS!" Hikari shouted. "Your granddaughter is about to execute some royalty!"
"Suddenly, I miss going on a mission." Amaris yawned. Heh, werewolves. "What is this about someone -" She stopped as she saw the footage, dropping her cup of hot chocolate. "What in the name of Dark Gaia -"
"What's happening up there?" Helena shouted from downstairs.
"Nothing, hun. Just don't come up here." Amaris replied.
"Too late." Helena appeared in her spider form. "You know me better than that, dear. Now - HOLY GARCIA, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!"
"Evolution and anger, right here." Kiui said, donning sunglasses from out of nowhere.
"And ignore Aunt Merlina, she's mad at Cousin Emerald -"
"Demetria, actually. You missed the part where she changed her name."
"DANG IT!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let us go! We'll give you whatever you want, just please don't hurt us!" Glimmer and Dasher continuously begged.
Emerald - no, Demetria - had held icicles against the skin of the unicorns' chins. Demetria smirked. "Do you know why we're at a standstill right now?"
"Obviously not, so I'll explain. You may have known me by the name Emerald, but I go by Demetria now. You have wronged me in many ways -"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mango and Kiui were eating popcorn as they watched intently, muttering to each other.
"What punishment do you think Demetria will give Dasher and Glimmer?" Kiui asked Mango.
Mango replied, "Well, knowing Demetria and how she's been using her powers, she could be planning a brutal and ice-cold death."
Kiui paled. "Then I'm glad that I'm not those two and I'm over here, otherwise I'd be screwed for life."
(P.S.: Spoiler Alert: Oh, Kiui, you were very, very, VERY wrong to be glad that you weren't there, because after this incident, Demetria does accidentally freeze people.)
Amaris finished processing what was going on as she finally muttered, "Holy crap, she's a powerful cyrokinetic."
Helena nudged Amaris, chuckling as she said, "Of course, dear. It just means Demetria is more powerful than others."
Merlina muttered, "That's not a good thing, especially for right now."
Sylvia said, "Well, that sucks for me, because I CAN FEEL MY NIECE'S ANGER FROM HERE!"
"OOOF, THAT SUCKS!" Kiui shouted, owning up to her title as the Annoying sister, earning herself a light slap from Hikari and a glare from Mango.
Hikari scolded, "Kiui Banana Mochisolar, you know better than that!"
The young Mercat grumbled, "I'm sorryyy."
"Your apology is accepted." Sylvia replied.
Scylla said, "Sorry to interrupt, but Demetria is done with her evil villain speech."
"HOLY -"
"ARCEUS, GIVE ME STRENGTH -"
"WOOHOO! -"
"LET'S GOO!"
"HECK YOU, SCYLLA -"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And now, you shall be punished." Demetria finished, an evil glint in her eyes. Glimmer was the first to break the chains, creating a shield around the two unicorns.
"Save your energy, PESTS," Demetria growled. "You're only going to exhaust yourself." She used a large boost of energy to speed into and breaking the shield.
Hence causing her to pass out and create her downfall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Merlina, Mango, and Kiui shouted.
"Demetria, you HAD TO DO THAT -"
"To be fair, she just manifested -"
"I've got her." Scylla said, cutting off her connection to the call.
"Oooh boy. They're gonna be in a lot of trouble when they get back." Sylvia muttered as chaos ensues.
"That's it?" Maleficent shouted as her father checked for the other pages.
"Yeah, that seems to be it," Charlotte confirmed. "Now, where's Grandma?"
"Did you all enjoy the story? I worked vey hard on it." Creator said, leaning against the bedroom door.
"Yeah, and we want more! Where's the next chapter?" T said, raising a metaphorical eyebrow at her mother.
Creator broke into a nervous sweat. "Well, uh, you see -"
"Where is it, Creator?" Drow growled.
"IDON'THAVETHENEXTCHAPTERIT'SBEINGWRITTENBYYYYYYE!!!"
This applies to the Amaris's Comics (tumblr) and AmarisMochizuki4 (Wattpad) as well.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY AND THE REST OF SUMMER, EVERYONE!
(Author's Note: I'm about to start throwing stuff at my own characters for being so dumb. Send them to the Gulag, please.)
"You're right, I shouldn't be here, but neither should -" Mango gasped, her tail puffing up as she sees a pitch-black, glitching creature with glowing, multicolored eyes that dotted some - if not all - of the creature's body.
"Oh, don't mind Queener, she's only checking you out." Scylla dismissively said, failing to notice the scared (yet hidden) look on Mango's face.
Mango gestured to the Abstracted Queener, shouting, "You keep these things with you?!"
Kiui yelled, "HUH?! What did I miss?"
"Are you questioning my judgement?" Scylla demanded, standing up to her full height.
Mango thinks for a moment, before smirking and answering with, "Maybe I AM, BUT..." Mango took a deep breath, continuing, "It's been five days. We were supposed to meet up, but you -"
CRACK!!
A burst of lightning and flame erupted around Scylla as she yelled angrily, "IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS!!!!"
Mango leered. "You forgot something."
Scylla was looking at another part of the cellar when she growled, "Oh, I don't know, what could I BE POSSIBLY -" Scylla turned to face Mango as she shouts, "FORGETTING?!!"
"Time zones." Mango whispered.
Scylla blinked, asking, "What?"
Speeding closer, Scylla can see that Amy and Sonic were okay. Scylla slowed her speed, turning to see that the tsunami broke though the barrier between Tin-Can and was headed directly towards Sonic and Amy. Scylla flew ten feet higher in the air, just to be safe.
Amy jumped to higher ground, while Sonic, for some reason, didn't seem to jump for some reason. Scylla cocked her head to see better, and saw Sonic's slightly pained expression and look of realization. Sonic turned around to face Amy.
Sonic said, "A-Amy, I... I..." He took a deep breath. "Amy, I lo-" And just like that, Sonic was engulfed in the tsunami. Scylla nearly gasped, while Amy looked on with an emotionless face, and took off.
Scylla dove into the water, not caring if she drowned trying to save the hedgehog.
Not even twenty minutes later, the water shot Scylla out.
Scylla became a raven-winged woman, with copper skin, magenta eyes, and blond hair. Out of the corner of her eye, Scylla can see Silver and Shadow dragging Sonic out of the water. And the smell of hedgehog blood was going to make Scylla's mouth water. But that didn't matter, because a large water monster formed out of the newly-formed lake.
Scylla sensed that Zielo was behind this, and growled at the monster in front of her. The water monster roared at the three hedgehogs, attacking Shadow, Sonic, and Silver with watery tentacles.
Scylla screeched like a harpy at this, throwing a Chaos Spear at the water monster in a rage. Flying five kilometers high in the sky, Scylla threw Chaos Spears like an animal, boiling the water wherever the Spears hit. Scylla didn't see anything but the water monster. She wanted to destroy it. She wanted to ruin whatever life it had left. She wanted to -
The water creature exploded, the force sending Scylla flying into a sharp branch. She felt the wound with her hand, and felt an ice-cold liquid. Scylla looked at her hand and saw her signature black blood. Cursing herself, she removed herself from the branch and flew to the skies, away from where she could potentially be found.
Scylla saw her blood dripping from her wing, a sign that the puncture wound was deep. Scylla spotted some dark violet lights, a yellow zigzag, and a mountain thrown onto the land. It made Scylla shiver. She wasn't sure what happened, but she doesn't want to go near THAT ever again.
Three screams ended the predicament. Scylla recognized those voices like a dark angel would.
Scylla tried speaking, but it felt like a hundred mites closed off her lungs, making it hard to breathe. Scylla dove down to the ground, trying her best to breathe normally as the panic engulfed her mind.
When she reached land, Scylla made sure to carefully hide behind a tree, because she felt Zielo's presence.
Transforming into a black wolf, Scylla snuck closer to the hedgehogs. Scylla's tail felt like lightning, swirling and crackling as the puncture wound healed.
Zielo used his telekinesis to lift Sonic, Silver, and Shadow off the ground. Scylla's head felt like bones, so she barely could hear anything the gray hedgehog was saying.
But as soon as Zielo opened his mouth and started to try absorbing the three hedgehogs' souls, Scylla snapped out of it and ran to take their place instead.
BOOOOOOM!
(Author's Note: *Ahem* *INHAAALE* IIIIIIIIIIIT'S TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!)
"Whooaa!" Mango said, waving her fluffy arms in an attempt to keep herself from falling over.
"No, no! We can't have you falling, now can we?" A teeth man - Caine, Mango remembers from her excruciatingly long hours of both calming a fussy Kiui and researching - said in an upbeat voice, preventing Mango from falling face-first onto the floor.
"Mango, who's there?" Kiui asked through the headphones. Mango ignored her and instead pulled the innocent kitten card, making a curious face and folding back her ears, asking innocently and curiously, "I'm sorry, who are you?"
"Nice acting, ten outta ten." Kiui said sarcastically. Mango tuned out Caine's voice as Kiui continued, "Focus, Mangie. Don't forget, we're here to get Scylla and then get out -"
What Mango didn't notice was a pair of eyes peering at her, thinking, What is she doing here?
This place is corrupted.
{Author's Note: A mention of Pokemon.}
{Instructions unclear; now hurdling Mango into the TADC Universe in the next chapter. :> }
"I'm sorry, YOU FROZE YOUR OWN HOUSE?!" Mango asked, horrified at what Demetria just explained.
"Y-Yeah? After seeing...animatronics." Demetria cautiously answered, just now realizing the consequences of her actions.
"Demetria Emerald Mochisolar, do you remember last year, when you had done something kind of like this before?" Mango asked, raising an eyebrow and throwing her arms up in the air to empathize her point.
"Yeah...?"
"STOP DOING THAT!" Mango shouts.
"No, I don't know how."
Inhaaaaaale. "Can I throw a goldfish at you now?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, that's an icy situation," Mango said as she inspected Demetria's house. "At this rate, you could be stronger than Elsa herself."
Demetria groaned. "Can we PLEASE not talk about it?'
"Fine," Mango replied. "But you have to answer to Dr. Sylveon later."
The blizzard stopped as Demetria made a singular hand gesture, saying, "Sure."
Mango raised an eyebrow, smirking. "You were saying?"
"Mango, please don't -"
Kaiso's POV
As I reached the city, I kept a close eye on the child. As Bendy walked beside me, I couldn't help but feel the need to get rid of him. I wonder how Alinta and Audra are doing?
Snugglebunny's (Author) POV
Kaiso... There was a lot of screaming. In general. Panicking is more of the emotion they felt. Don't ask.
"AAAAAA-"
"AAAA-"
Kaiso's POV
Maybe it's just the curse talking, but I think I need to return to...Abbadon. Ugh.
Buuuut, if I DO leave, Alinta and Audra will come after me and interrogate me. They may know about my cursed form by now.
It seems like I don't have a choice. I'll stay.
(Author's Note: A mention of a near-death experience and an endangering experiment. Also, this chapter happens almost a year after the Incident.)
"MANGO DRAGONFRUIT MOCHISOLAR OF THE MERCATS, COME HERE, YOUNG LADY!" Hikari shouted, causing Demetria to flinch. The one day Demetria was supposed to be visiting the nightmare-ridden Mercat (that was Kiui) was interrupted by the yells and hisses of the cat side of the Mochisolar family.
Mango came into the living room and stopped when she saw Demetria. Mango waved nervously. "...Hi?"
"Alright, what did you do to get called out like that?" Demetria asked, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.
Mango hesitated, a look of trauma crossing her face, before she raised her hands to sign, 'No need to worry, it was just a small donation.'
"Mangoo, you can't lie to me. I saw the look on your face, and you only use sign language if you did something really bad or if something traumatizing is happening." Demetria grabbed a cup of hot chocolate and sipped on it, watching her cousin closely.
Mango looked nervous, steeling herself before signing, 'I got strapped into an experiment and nearly died twice because it drained my life force and I forced myself unconscious!'
"MANGO!" Demetria gasped. Yeah, she's joining in on the punishment party on that one, because what Mango did was dangerous and incredibly reckless.
'I was TIRED!'
"Just go to Aunt Hikari - NOW." Demetria pointed to the security office, where her aunt was. She didn't want to deal with this.
'Fine, fine.' Mango grumped over to the security room.
Demetria sighed, sipping her hot chocolate and headed to the kitchen. "One of these days, the girls are gonna give me a headache." A yellow-and-grey dart flew past Demetria, almost making her trip. "Kiui!"
"Sorry not sorry!" Kiui meowed back.
"Hey, Kiui? Can you call Ashley?" Hikari called. Demetria's eyes widened as she realized this is becoming a family issue. She's gotta go before Demetria gets wrapped up in it.
"OkayIgottagobye!" Demetria rushed, heading back to her residence.
(Author's Note: All warnings are mentioned in Chapter 6. That's all.)
"Hey, sis?" Poketiggy called. "Grandma sent us another chapter!"
"Then read it!" Charlotte called back.
"Alright..."
December 5
"Holy Soulless, this is a huge snowstorm to get through." Scylla muttered, climbing over heaps of snow and ice that used to be buildings, animals, even PEOPLE. After climbing over another body, Scylla said, "Wooow, going through this makes me feel like I'm in the apocalypse again, and that's not a good feeling."
Eventually, Scylla reached the castle, which was the heart of the storm. Literally.
Staring down the sparkling, ice-covered castle, Scylla sighed. "This generation s going to give me a headache one of these days." She muttered, using her frostbitten hands to shove the door open.
An ear turned at Dasher and Glimmer's call for staff from upstairs. Assuming that is where Demetria could be, Scylla teleported in front of the two rulers.
The pyrokinetic instinctively wrapped her arms around Demetria protectively, picking her up and leaving, but not before she heard:
"Hey! That's our -"
"Let them go."
"But -"
"We'll find them again. She'll be a powerful asset to our army."
Scylla teleported home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"-Scylla? Hey, Scylla?" Kiui bugged.
"Yes, small one?" Scylla asked, despite knowing the answer.
"What was it like out there?" Kiui asked.
That knocked Scylla off guard. She...wasn't expecting that. Considering her options... Yeah, she might as well come clean.
"It was...devastating." Scylla starts. "It was like the apocalypse all over again." She hugs herself tightly. "To think that I saw all those frozen -"
Kiui said, "You don't have to talk about it. I was curious. That was all."
"No." Scylla insisted. "I have to." Inhale. Exhale. "There was a lot of snow, I'll admit that. But... I smelled blood and decay as well. There was the palace; it was covered in ice as well, it was in the heart of the blizzard. The buildings and such that made up the capital city were heavily covered in snow and ice. Demetria... I'd never look at her the same way ever again."
Kiui stood there, processing as she looked at the comatose form of Demetria. From her expression, Kiui would never look at her big cousin the same way again, either.
"When do you think Demetria will wake up?" Kiui whispered.
"HOPEFULLY when Sylvia comes over, because she's going to be over for ten days." Mango said, stepping into view.
"MANGO!" Kiui shrieked. Scylla didn't have the heart to tell the Mercat to lower her voice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Demetria woke up, she was faced with Sylvia - in a lab coat. That means Dr. Sylveon is in the house. Ugh, feelings.
Demetria groaned and slowly got up, pain flashing across her body. And then a kitten with banana-yellow scales and kiwi-green eyes stared at Demetria, the cat's grey, fluffy fur on end as its tail swiftly moved back and forth nervously.
"Kiui?" Demetria croaked. "What happened?" The cat literally lunged towards the Froster, transforming back into the form of Kiui as she shouted:
"DEMETRIA! YOU'RE OKAY!! I THOUGHT WE LOST YOU!"
Demetria hugged the the sobbing girl tightly, while giving her aunt a quizzical look.
Sylvia sighed. "You froze the kingdom. Congratulations, you're a Froster now."
"And that's bad because...?" Demetria inquired.
Mango stepped into the room. "First of all, you COMPLETELY missed the part where Aunt Sylvia said that you froze the kingdom."
"I'm sorry, I DID WHAT?!"
"Second, you created a blizzard."
"WHAT?!"
"MANGO!"
"Third," Mango winked at Sylvia. "You nearly killed your friend and the crown princess."
"HOLY -"
"MANGO DRAGONFRUIT MOCHISOLAR!!" Sylvia barked.
Mango let out a fake sigh. "You never let me have my fun." She sarcastically said.
Demetria looked like she was processing everything. "Wow, I did some very bad things."
"Well, we're telling everyone we meet about how you froze an entire castle." Kiui said mischievously, sniffling quietly. Demetria groaned.
"Please don't."
"You traumatized Scylla too." Mango said.
"I WASN'T TRAUMATIZED!" Scylla shouted from the other room. "THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAUMATIZED AND TERRIFIED!"
Mango rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, well Merlina said that she's grounding you for the next month for the stunt you pulled."
"Figures." Demetria muttered. Kiui let out a throaty chuckle.
"Can I burn it this time?" Elsa the Dragon asked. Charlotte handed her the paper.
"Nothing's worth it." Sissy the Dog mumbled sadly.
"Aaaaand this is why I'm not giving you anymore stories." Creator drawled out.
"Rude." Conrad grumbled.
