Are you sure they are all gone? Positive no one will sneak up on us like Shadow did?"
" It's okay. No one will ever hurt you again."
"They may not hurt me again but they will hurt you. Once this little outbreak gets out then this place will be searched, they'll find us, then they'll hang us and finally steal our hearts. I don't want my heart taken from me, Adalyn!! I want to give my heart to people but having a greedy person think my love is not enough and then taking my heart is a different story. Why did you not love? After everything I taught you and everything you've been through; you've still not figured it out! Why? Why? Why?"
"Dandellion, stop hitting me! You'll only hurt yourself the more you punch and I don't want that just like I didn't want them hurting you; so I had to. If I didn't punish them then you would be dead and I don't want to lose you again after I just found you. I learned my lesson the first time! Dandelion, don't cry. Why are you sad?"
"It's just..it's..I'm sorry, Adalyn. I won't lose my temper again. You were only protecting me and I thank you for that. Should we clean up all of….this or should we just leave as fast as we can?"
"Cover up? Dandelion, there is no point cleaning up. Our sins have already been uncovered. If we try to cover up our sins on our own then we'll never be able to kill enough perfect lambs. Jesus' blood is the only thing that can and has covered our sins once and for all. He was our perfect lamb and since his blood covers us; all He asks is that we repent everytime and strive not to do it again."
"Everytime!! I take it that you're never really baptized then? You must repent and be re-baptized spiritually everyday in order to be cleansed."
"Actually yes; Dandelion, that is exactly right. Jesus may judge our sins overall but people are still not happy when we commit them so we should be going before we find the unhappy side of people not many get to see.
"Couldn't have said it any better myself. Wait, what are you doing? Why are you walking towards the blood? Oh no! Did you not say we had to go since we couldn't cover our own sins?"
"Jesus' blood covers our sins eternally but who covers it physically?"
"Adalyn, stop it!! Don't you dare! You drop that blood off of your fingers right this…..mmmmm! That sweet blood of incense. This blood is…..fresh!!"
"Adalyn, stop! I know what happens when your eyes turn that color. You're turning into Shadow. One taste of blood is never enough so you constantly need more because you don't believe Jesus' blood atones for all. You are stuck in the Old Laws and need to get out!!"
"Sister, why are you backing away? Come with me and we'll do what we were destined to do…..together!!"
"Evil has corrupted your heart. Once you get your first taste….you can never go back to normal. Jesus was right. WWJD remember? What would Jesus do?"
"Jesus wouldn't do anything because He...is….DEAD; but I…...I...I'm alive and will do what He couldn't. He came to punish spiritual sin..hee...I've come to punish physical sin and there is much to uncover!"
"I...emmm…..I...uhhh….stop putting his blood all over your face. 'Hoofee'. I'll come with only because those Christians need a run for their money and I'll be happy to give my tithe. Christians don't think they are role models but even when they are suffering; people are watching; so if they see you whatever then they think that if you act in a certain way then all Christians must act that way. It must be right. So if they punish....then why can't we?"
"Put her there! I knew you would come around. Don't worry, his blood tastes like pudding!"
"Yuck!!!!"
"Woo! Shadow, hold. Do you feel the ground starting to rumble? It almost sounds like it's from…...DRAGON!!!!"
"Yeah, I was going to….ohh!! Ohh!! I see him. Should we run? He's getting closer!"
"Wait. Look! He is just circling our house like ravens circling something dead. I mean I don't think Maurice's and Leo's blood could reach Dragon's nose, but the only other dead things I can think of are…..DEAD SOULS!!! Dragon, watch out!!"
"KNOCK! Knock!! We're breaking out!!"
"She's got Dragon by the throat!!"
"I don't remember inviting little pesks to my house. Now get out!!!"
"DUCK!!!"
"Dragon, are you ok? Where are you hurt?"
"Shadow, stay back!! He's not of you anymore."
"Dragon, you can't go out like this. Getting beat up by girls is the lamest way to go. Wake up!!!"
"Watch out! She's throwing her house at us!"
"Dragon, wake up!"
"What did he say?"
He...he wants us to avenge him while he recovers."
"Recovers!! How big are these girls?"
"If they can throw him like a ragdoll then what chance do we have?"
"Shadow, I wanted to save our tricks for tomorrow's tournament, but a little practice wouldn't hurt. My sister told me a lot about your cool powers and that huge wolf that you had to tame home. Now I know you can turn into a wolf but maybe you could...ummm..turn into that."
"Who's to say I haven't already!! Still got that armor of God up your sleeve?"
" I have more than that. Jesus, give me the strength to defeat my enemies!! Monsters, on my sixth….Behemoth….Leviathan...Giants….and wait what? How did you sneak through? You're not an animal!!"
"Hello brother!!!!!"
"Zeke, get these people to safety. I don't want to be those heroes who care nothing for innocent human casualties."
"Dragon, get your sorry tail out of your mouth and help us here. We move as one. Remember, if it's not of God then it'll fall."
"Aww, Dandelion look! There is a baby knight, a baby Dragon and a baby wolf. They all look so cute and cuddly like I just want to squeeze them and love on em. You know, they are all major symbols in the Bible but I still feel we're missing one. It doesn't seem quite complete. Somethings missing but I can't put my...ohh! Ohh!! Now I know what's missing. You have no lion. I'm sorry but that's my fault you don't have one. I may have umm...cut his head off!! Now I don't like odd numbers so if you could help me out...I'll take your heads as well. Minions!! Rise from your slumber."
"What are those things?"
"She...makes her own minions. She never has to soul take us or worry about her minions dying because she can just go home, sew em up, then put them back in battle."
"One more thing. Don't attack Adalyn and Dandellion. I mean yes, attack, but to kill Adalyn….you have to kill….that minion over there named Pinky."
"Why?"
"Pinky is the one who holds Adalyns true soul so kill her and the rest should follow."
"Anything else you wanna tell me?"
"Umm….WE LOVE YOU and are happy you are back. Now don't die because we would be sad."
"Aww, you're too sweet. Mhmm..let's fight. I don't think these girls have had proper spankings as a kid so let's give them some!"
"Wait, where'd they go?"
"How can you lose two big…*hello*"
"That's the thing with all you guys. You all talk too much. Maybe it's time you be silenced for once. Does not your God say don't be doers of the word but listeners as well. With haste you must spread the gospel but if you must use your tongue as a last resort to speak then do so; but He says….as a last resort. Not the first and not the second...the last. Dandelion….let's take em to church"
"SHIELD OF PROTECTION!!"
"Ha! Haa! Haa!! Maybe you puny things aren't Christian enough for me. Do you really believe in your heart that what you are doing is just?"
"SWORDS UP!!! I'll take your heart, sorcerer!!"
"Please….allow me!!!"
"What? How can this be?"
"Silly knight! Go play with your sticks somewhere else!!"
"Man, we're getting our butts shoved in our mouths and it don't taste too good."
"Come on!! They're just two people. We're many...they are but few!!"
"Ouch, we're not few! Lightning from the heavens and fire from the deep; rise up and cause these people to cease!!!"
"That's not good!"
"Hopper, watch out!!!"
"Step away from my friend. You want him...you're going to have to go through me first."
"Aww...wolf! Wolf! Wolf! I see a wolf!"
"Huuu. I can't breathe."
"Oh wait, nevermind. It's just a dirty rug!!"
"Why can't we beat these girls. They are just too strong. Wait, hey!! Why aren't you helping, sis? You're just sitting there on your Behemoth like you own the place while all of us are getting our butts kicked."
"This is not my fight."
"The hell it isn't!! What do you mean? I sent you here so that you could help us and not just sit around and watch!
"Yes, and helping you I am, but I fight for honor and not for a group of pity parties like you."
"Shadow, watch out!! Zeke, get out of the way!! Pity parties like us? Who you calling pity? Have you not seen all the trials we've been through?"
"I've seen them all, but I must ask why have you gone through all of this trouble?"
"Isn't it obvious. Just look at those two over there. Dandelion and Adalyn are too powerful. They could topple the church with one blow. You can see how destructive they are if they had to mind to do it. Now don't ask stupid questions."
"I can see they are powerful, but have they toppled the church yet?"
"Well, no, but they could. Just give them time."
"Then why do you attack such an innocent being and label her evil."
"She is!! If we don't strike her first then she will strike us and we'll be dead."
"Maybe death is what you deserve. After all, was it not one of you that caused all of this in the first place? She would not have had to go to this extreme unless someone evoked her to act out in such a way."
"How could you say that? She is clearly the bad girl in this situation. Just look in your heart and you'll find that what I'm telling is true. Dig into your soul."
"I've dug into my soul and into hers. She is of pure form and you're attacking her just because she physically appears stronger than you all. She has done nothing but love you this whole entire time. I was there. I watched the spirit rise up out of the depths and infiltrate her heart. Evil spirits only enter people who are deep-rooted and pure. Why do you think Shadow entered Aaron and nobody else. Now own your actions because until you do then everytime you go to attack; you will get yours butts handed back to you…..in a body bag!!"
"Where have you come from where you speak so?"
"I've come from the depths of the deep where light and darkness shutter to go. I've come from a place where hope is dead and Mists rain with dread. Lost souls linger and wait for a promise to go home that will never come. The people there are too scared to return to the surface for fear of persecution so they rather hide their life in the dark….trapped in their own shame. These lost souls are people who have been desolate, wrongly accused, killed for no reason and hopeless. I have to go in and soothe what is left of them so they don't utterly…..fall!! Now who was responsible for her transformation?"
"It was her. I swear it."
"Don't lie to me again or else I'll have your tongue, brother. Do you not hear her cries of pain to God whenever she is alone? Do you not hear the torture she always experiences whenever her spirit takes over? Why must she always cry? Why must she always grieve? Why must she toil alone and why must she die? Have you ever thought that the same spirit that took Aaron has now taken her?"
"That's impossible. He's only one man."
"Is he? Why don't you ask him!! Wasn't it he who turned all of your hearts to hate Adalyn in the first place? Why must she suffer for his mistakes and why must she die in his place?"
"I've heard enough. If you're not here to help me then begone from me. We have an enemy to fight!!"
"Yes, we do, but are we fighting the same enemy?"
"Sixth star, wait!! You can't go out there and face them alone. Look how strong they are. They could crush you with one blow!!"
"Is not our God stronger!! Do you not see the host of angels surrounding me. Behemoth, Leviathan...forward!!"
"Where is she going? She's going to get herself killed. I'll go after her."
"No, Shadow. Just wait here one second."
"Hello little girl. Do you wish to suffer the same fate as all of your comrades? They couldn't beat me so what makes you think you can beat me?"
"Behemoth, stop! I want to get down so I can face them eye to eye."
"Don't walk any closer or else we'll shoot you with lightning."
"Shoot me then!! Those comrades are not of me. They come to you with sword and spear but I come at you in the name of the God of Israel and he says whatever is not of Him will fall. So….evil spirit!! I'm here to take you back where you belong."
"Haa!! Haa!! Haaaaa!! You crack me up funny girl. Just like a tree that's struck by lightning; I'll make you crack all the way down the middle. Dandellion, we fire together. NOW!!!!"
"Sixth Star, get out of…..noooooo….what the!!"
"You got your trees wrong there sister. You see, when a tree that is deeprooted is struck by lightning...it doesn't uproot and move like the rest. Instead it consumes the blast until it comes ablaze and grows."
"Look!! She commands the lightning."
"Now, I told you spirit to return from whence you came but since you haven't then I must escort you back."
"Noooooo"
"SET ABLAZE!!"
"Stop!! Stop!! Jesus I know, Aaron I know, and you I know. I will go. Just don't hurt us anymore please!!"
"You have three seconds. One…."
"I'm going. I'm going."
"Two!!!!"
"Don't rush me!!"
"Three!!!"
"There we're gone, but please who can we enter? We don't want to go back to the pit of darkness. Wait, if you let us enter those pigs over there then we'll leave you in peace."
"You have my blessing. Go into them now before I change my mind."
"Thank you. Oh thank you!"
