Ver贸nica started her talk with Frank without bothering them that Lucia was present.
(-They already started ignoring you. You should go, after all they won't realize it.-)
Seeing how well her husband got along with another woman, Lucia took her coat, and without having said a word all day, she left the restaurant.
She walked to her house, crossed the park and took advantage of the shortage of people due to the snowfall to burst into tears. She sat on a bench shaking from the pain she felt, after a few minutes, she looked at her watch and continued on her way.
Upon arrival, she look around to avoid her parents. She crept up into her room and locked herself in the bathroom. In the bathtub, she was sobbing, praying that she could die to disappear from that world. Leen began to cry as the scene affected her so much that Ross had to hug her.
-We really want to help you. But for this, your brother must die so that you are free- was Ross's sincere opinion
-Please .... get me out of here. I'll do what you want, but take me away- between tears, Lucia looked towards the bathroom wash
-Wait ... can you see us ?! Since when? - Ross was hard
-Rusty..look at her eyes ... they are ...- Leen was shocked
-Clover ... they are clovers! It means that you are ..-
-I'm a monster, help me please-
Lucia's hair turned white, her eyes red, and she began to transform into a rabbit.
-Oh my god, you're a white rabbit!-
-What the hell is a rabbit doing here? They are not supposed to cross even if they wanted to, and even less use ... camouflage magic! -
Doubt began to gnaw at her heads. The beastmen, when crossing, took the predefined form to advance in the plot without forgetting their objective or origin, it was always like that, except for rabbits and hares. Unable to use magic, they lacked the right to carry a wand and to be able to enter the stories. The mere fact of trying such a thing could cause them to be stranded in nothingness and even history would absorb them, making them forget who they were to end up as simple rabbits or hares.
So they remained as trackers in the outside world, to prevent something from getting out of control. Leen was amazement, they found a white rabbit and she knew who it was despite having been there who knows how long. Ross even went so far as to link last night's prophecy with today's unfortunate encounter.
-Arthur said to take me someone. He also mentioned snow and a crying person. Leeny, I think he meant this. We have to get her out of here-
-I also noticed. She cannot continue to suffer. Quiet treasure, we will go home soon- Leen hugged the young woman who was trembling with pain
They planned how to prevent her from falling from grace so that they could get her out of history without anyone noticing her absence. They couldn't let her family touch her again, least of all Claude, who was possibly crazier than his parents.
Lucia told them that she was always beaten for being adopted and that she began to manifest her power after her first period at age 15. She was so terrified that she locked herself in for three days until she managed to control her transformation. After that they forced her to marry Frank, who at first seemed to protect her from her family, something that made her very happy but one night she overheard the conversation of her in-laws and her husband where she was called a climbing slut and manipulative.
Frank believed that she pretended to be kind and affectionate in order to sleep with him, so he could not have any esteem for such a woman. That day, everything she felt fell apart. She was grateful didn't tell him about the beatings and keep up appearances. Since then she always avoided with excuses to sleep together, Frank began to avoid her too and that relieved her regret. She didn't want anyone to touch her and she didn't want to have a child with someone who hated her.
Lucia wanted to go far away from her, but her family prevented her from doing so. When she managed to find the moment, she was locked up and even handcuffed and chained by Claude to end up as his punching bag. Frank never showed interest in helping her, and even she suspected that he knew about her mistreatment but in order to get rid of her, he would let them continue to torture her.
Today was the best day of her life, she was in the arms of Leen, who caressed her back and sang a lullaby to calm her down. She felt great and prayed that their meeting would never end. Ross on his side studied the most convenient exits following part of the plot.
-The place will fall apart and you, taking advantage of that, will return to the headquarters. Leeny you will use your emergency key and if someone asks me, I will say that you left earlier, because of the late payment of the catering. No one will suspect, on the contrary, they will surely mock.-
-And what about you?-
-I'll stay to finish the story. I'll be back before Pryor or the others find out about her, but if I doesn't come, you remember what to say if they catch them, right? -
-Yes, she is your closest relative who came for the wedding. She is very shy around strangers and she does not like to be touched-
-I am your cousin Etoile Blanche Fox and ... I came from England for the wedding, you also invited me to come and live in Johannesburg. I said well?-
-Yes, snowflake, you said it right-
-The time has come. Snowflake, make the call-
She made several calls, among them to Ver贸nica to invite her to eat at a very expensive restaurant far from the city. Claude would not know where the heroin would be and they would take advantage of that to have Frank assassinate him so they could escape.
Lucia's cell phone rang without anyone answering. It was the seventh missed call and the number belonged to Frank who was leaving messages on her voicemail without success. Lucia just glared at the number on the screen. In less than an hour she would initiate her escape plan.
Leen stood by her side and consoled her. They waited and the moment presented itself. Claude got out of the car and went to look furious for Lucia.
He came into the room and grabbed her by the neck.
-You ... what the fuck did you do. Where did you send Veronica? I went looking for her and they said you invited her. Where, that not even your husband knows-
Claude was strangling her, Lucia kicked him in the groin. In pain, I slap her hard making her fall to the ground. Lucia pretended to be unconscious and with narrowed eyes she looked at Leen who was lying standing in the corner of her room. Claude received a call, left the room and locked her up.
He went downstairs while his father told him that he had seen Veronica on the boulevard and his mother was about to catch her. The next instant he heard sirens and her mother screaming. The call was abruptly cut off. When he was about to get into the car, two police cars got in his way. Frank and several policemen got out.
The crowd began to gather, among them, the gossipers and other fairies on duty who set out to muddy the villain.
-What's up brother-in-law? It's weird to see you around at this time-
-Where is she?-
-I was wondering that too. She was just about to go find my parents to see that nothing happened to her. They said that Veronica was fine ...-
-Don't ask about Veronica. Where's your sister? What did you do with her? -
-Lucy? She is sleeping inside. Do not worry. She is a little tired to get up-
Frank glared at Claude and when he was going to reprimand him, the house exploded into a thousand pieces causing all the surrounding windows to shatter in a shock wave.
-Hahaha, poor Lucia hahaha- Claude laughed non-stop lying on the floor
The rest just stared in disbelief. The fairies witnessed something out of the norm and prayed that their directors were safe.
Ross scoffed at his successful plan as Leen and Lucia prepared to jump off the highest roof in the neighborhood.
