The colour drained from their faces. They were all thinking the same thing, 'We're screwed. He was listening to everything.'
James, Number 6 and 8 walked away in a trance. After a while, they got a call.
"What the hell were you thinking talking before checking your surroundings!? You useless fools!!!!" Heather yelled.
"We're sorry!!!" They apologised.
"Sorry won't cut it! Find that thing and destroy it. if it's not broken when I find it I'll break you!!!!! Just don't kill it. It can take a beating so you shouldn't worry too much."
"It?" Number 6 asked.
"Are you idiots!? I'm in a bathroom hiding... Do you think I can freely yell anything!? You guys really are useless. I bet you won't even find her. Sigh. Never mind just find a nice spot to get your asses beat." Heather commanded.
"We'll try our hardest, Ma'am." They responded.
"Whatever." She hung up.
"We need to find that human quick!" James stated.
"Split up and search everywhere around the school she should still be around here!" Number 8 commanded.
"You should find the spot, James." Number 6 added.
"Okay." James agreed.
Meanwhile.
Kellian was `entering the school again after club when she unexpectedly bumped into Number 6.
"What do you want?" Kellian rolled her eyes.
"Where are you coming from?" Number 6 asked.
"None of your business," Kellian replied.
"Fine just follow me." She sighed.
"Why?" Kellian asked.
"To go see Ein obviously." She answered.
"K." Kellian followed her.
"Gasp! You found her!" Number 8 exclaimed.
"Where's Ein?" Number 6 asked.
"What does Ein—"
"I think he went somewhere else. James must know where! Let's find him!" Number 6 cut off Number 8.
"K?" Kellian was starting to get confused.
"James! Did find the place?" Number 8 asked.
"I did. Let's go." He said after noticing they found Kellian.
'This seems awfully suspicious... Should I be following them like this? Meh. What's the worst that could happen?' Kellian paused "This is an empty field with a fountain."
"No. It's your gravesite because this is where you die!" James yelled.
"And YOU plan on killing ME?" Kellian asked.
"Obviously." He replied.
"With what? Your fists?" Kellian tilted her head playfully.
"No." He answered.
"You have guns with silver bullets hidden somewhere around here?" Kellian asked.
"What the hell!? Course not! We'd never use gross human weapons!" James shouted.
"Then how do you plan to keep me when you can't even transform?" Kellian asked.
"You don't know that!" James roared.
"I do," Kellian replied.
"There's no way a pathetic human could tell!" James continued.
"Sigh. What do you want?" Kellian decided to help them out.
"Revenge." Number 8 replied. "You made me seem Useless."
"Because you are getting in the way of Heather's relationship! What are you gonna do if she cries!? I'm going to kill you before any of that happens." James yelled.
"And you're trying to steal Ein from me!" Number 6 shouted.
"Wow. What a load of BS." Kellian laughed.
"What are you laughing about!?" James yelled.
Kellian was leaving when she suddenly sensed danger. She instinctively blocked the attack with her arm. Unexpectedly it began to hurt. Confused she turned around to keep her eyes on her opponents and took a quick glance at her arm. It was red and swollen.
"Metal pipes?" Kellian had a quick flashback to what her mother did. 'These look thicker... No wonder they hurt more.'
"Are you scared now???" James asked.
"No?" Kellian replied honestly.
"You should be!" Number 8 swung at her with another metal pipe.
Kellian dodged. I was hard dodging two people swinging pipes at her but she managed.
Number 6 stood there holding her metal pipe as she watched Kellian desperately dodged the attacks.
"Grab her." Number 6 ordered.
"Huh?" Number 8 was confused.
"Just do it." Number 6 commanded
James and Number 8 did as they were told and grabbed her. It took a lot of effort but they did it.
It took all of James' strength to hold onto Kellian's right arm and all of Number 8's to hold on to Kellian's left arm.
Kellian was trying to break free and almost did it when... she unexpectedly had the wind knocked out of her.
Number 6 had hit Kellian's stomach with the metal pipe as hard as she could.
Kellian was now on the ground struggling to breathe.
"You. are. too. pretty. I. will. ruin. that. pretty. face. so. Ein. can't. love. you. anymore." She hit Kellian in the face every time she said a new word.
"Elly???" Number 8 called out to her using her real name.
"What?" She asked with an annoyed expression.
"I think you're taking this too far..." James explained.
"Would you rather be killed by Heather?" Elly asked.
"No, but—"
"Then you better hit her! Didn't you want to protect Heather, James?" Elly asked.
Kellian spat out blood. She bit her mouth a couple of times during that attack. "You're all pathetic."
"You're right! This slut deserves it." James yelled and started hurting her too.
And so they all began beating her with metal pipes, kicking her and hurting her as much as possible. All except number 8, she only watched played along when the others were watching.
Meanwhile.
"Ein hurry! I'm worried they might hurt her!" Heather began pulling on Ein.
"Why would they? They're your people." Ein asked.
"Please just trust me! Let's look for them." Heather seemed very worried.
"Fine. But if they did anything you're the one to blame. You know that, right?" Ein asked.
"I will gladly take all the responsibility for whatever my precious friends have done," She said with a sad expression.
When they arrived. Kellian was laid in a pool of her own blood and the two were still beating her.
"What the hell is happening??" Ein was confused. 'Am I witnessing a murder? So this is what it feels like... I feel nothing. We should probably leave. Fighting people would be annoying.'
Heather could barely contain her excitement. "Oh! You think that's Kellian?" Heather asked.
As soon as he heard those words, he ran over to her, pushed the three people away, and held her in his arms. "Noooooo... Kellian... You can't be dead!?" Then began freaking out.
During this whole conversation, Ein is wailing in the background. Remember that.
"Is she dead?" Heather asked.
"No. We didn't even hurt her that much." James answered.
"She looks pretty hurt to me," Heather commented.
"She's not," Elly added.
"Where'd all that blood come from?" Heather questioned.
"Oh... uh.... no... where..." James lied.
"Your lives are still on the line." Heather threatened.
"He stabbed her feet so she couldn't run away... multiple times," Elly answered.
"Okay, a little blood loss won't kill her. Did you break any of her bones?" Heather questioned hope shimmering in her eyes.
"We didn't get to," Elly answered.
"Ein said she could live through all that!!! Go break some bones now you pathetic losers." Heather commanded. It was impossible for Ein not to hear her but it seemed to in one ear and out the other.
"Nooooo!" When Elly tries to get Ein away, "No! She needs room!!! Go call for help or something!!!! Kellian!!!!! How could you die like this!?!?!?" Ein wailed.
"She's not dead though," Elly stated.
"Shut up! Kellian!!!!" He snapped at Elly. "How could you die!?!? You aren't supposed to die this easy!" Ein cried over her while clutching onto her.
"... Heather?" Elly looked to Heather for help.
"Ein. She's alive. This can't kill her you told me that yourself, so step away from her." Heather ordered.
"No! These wounds won't kill her but it'll still hurt! What if she does from the pain!?!?" Ein yelled still bawling.
"That makes no sense. Plus that means she's alive." Heather pointed out.
"No, it doesn't! You wouldn't understand!!!" Ein complained.
"Just knock him out." Heather gave up.
"But—"
"Do it!" Heather commanded.
Elly knocked Ein out.
"Now continue. I'd like to watch." Heather smirked as she used Ein's unconscious body as a seat.
Ein's limp body began to get up. It threw heather off in the process. There was also so much murderous aura that it had a physical form in the form of white mist surrounding him that was gradually growing.
"What the hell!?" Heather exclaimed.
"You want to watch my precious jewel... get hurt.... you have a death wish girly." He cupped her face in one hand and continued to tower over as she sat on the grass. "Oh? Are you... my girlfriend... gross." He took his hand off her, wiped it off then threw away the hand rag he used. "I want nothing to do with someone as offensive to look at, appalling, manipulative, trashy and repulsive as you even for a couple of minutes. This is a break up in case your tiny brain didn't get that."
'I want to complain but I can't. Why is it so hard to breathe??? And where did all this mist come from!?' Heather complained to herself.
He noticed James trying to run away. "What do you think you're doing???" He kicked James in the knee, completely shattering it. "Now you can't run away! Hehe~"
James began screaming and crying in pain. He looks at him in disgust, "What the hell are you crying for? Isn't that what you said to Kelly after hurting her legs? You're repulsive. Well of course you are you like miss fake Barbie I don't want to touch you anymore."
"You. You think hitting my Diamond in the face was fun?" He began to crush her head. "How about now? Still fun?" He asked. She shook her head, no, vigorously while crying. There was a small crack sound. "Oh.. was that a little crack I heard? Time to say bye-bye and go to sleep. Goodnight child. I hope you burn in hell." He completely crushed her head.
"I got a little carried away. Oops. Hehe~ I guess if I've already hurt one this bad I can do it again, right? You all think so too? Good!" He smiled happily.
"And you... You held back so... I'll let you live... just barely. I can't mess with too many lives in my current state anyway." Before he got to do anything Heather interrupted.
"Why... Why are you doing this Ein!?" Heather yelled after getting used to the difference in air pressure.
"Who? Oh yeah. Why? Because you hurt my Diamond. Who cares if she's fine? The people who hurt her deserve to feel the same amount of pain she did." He answered innocently and cutely.
"Why do you care?!" Heather yelled angrily.
"Because... Actually no. You don't deserve anything." He started at her. "Just know... Hurt her and you have a world of pain waiting for you."He smiled cheerfully. "Good girl. Now sleep. Your turn will come soon." He put Heather to sleep then turned his attention to Number 8.
"N-no. Stay... Stay away!!! I barely hurt her! The others did. And Heather was the one that told us to—" Number 8 was terrified and saying anything that could save her life.
"Wrong she gave you a choice. You just valued your own life over my Diamond's." He stepped closer.
"H-how do you know that...?" Number 8 asked.
"Oh, that's easy. I just won't be telling you. Since you like standing on the sidelines and snitching. I'll remove your eyes and tongue. I mean you don't need them anyway." He sang a lullaby as he removed them.
"Huh?" When done he realises that Heather disappears. She's gone... But how? I knocked her out... She must be working with "Them" too. Sigh. I need to warn Kelly before they start taking action but I can't stay that long. Dang, it. I'll have to leave it up to her for now."
"I'm covered in blood. Ew. I can't let their disgusting blood touch my baby." He went into a nearby fountain and washed off all the blood.
"I could have done this a lot easier. I was too mad to think. Sigh. Anyway, it would be bad if your bodies were found so... burn. Burn forever in the deepest depths of hell." He snapped his fingers and James and Elly burnt to nothing but ash in white flames. And Number 8 had her hands and feet burned off. Sadly, she lived and still had up to her elbow and knees.
(Author's note: Fun fact— White flames is one of the hottest types of flames right behind blue flames which is the hottest. A white flame ranges from 1300-1500 Celsius (2400-2700° Fahrenheit). And during the cremation process, the furnace (also called a retort) reaches temperatures around 982 Celsius (1800° Fahrenheit). The heat in the furnace reduces the body to gases and bone fragments, which are then placed in an electric processor which converts them to ashes.)
"Lucky you. You get to live! But you'll never be able to live on your own now. I'll satisfy with that." He walked back over to Kellian.
"Sorry about being a little wet." He gently picked her up. "I'd dry my clothes but I need all my magic to heal your face and wounds that might scar because I'm sure that loser won't be able to. Now about that house. Do I remember where it is?" He began walking her to Ein's home.
