"Nightmaster!! You know I am a Mist and have done nothing to upset anyone, but please grant me this. Let me go in the place of my grandson. If the beats accept me…..then let me be the sacrifice!! I've been able to spend one day with my sons and it has been awesome. It is a day I will never forget. We kicked ass and took names; but I don't belong here. I belong down there."
"Grandma, don't!!! I just got you back."
"Silence, boy!! My death should be a joy to you. Your testimony can now continue; without anyone ever knowing that this day existed."
"Willow, you may not be a Pure, but you are a good listener and know what true sacrifice is. I told them that the beasts would only accept pure hearts and in all of their haste for the beats; none of them questioned me and if it weren't for you; they would've let me kill anyone. It wouldn't have been till I got to the last one that they would've remembered what I said. I don't even need the beasts to confirm it's true. You will be accepted."
"Grandmother!!!!!!!"
"Zeke, hold him back!!"
"So what do I do, Nightmaster? Do I just jump in; belly flop; cartwheel; plunge…or what?"
"You do none of those things because that would be considered suicide and suicide is not a thing that people count as worthy. Suicide is a form of giving up and saying I quite. Instead of turning back into a Mist; you would turn into a demon like me. Trust me; I wouldn't want that for you. Someone must push you in."
"Instead of standing here all night; I'll make the choice easy. These boys; I know; don't have the balls or the guts so I'll do it for them. I volunteer!!!"
"Dandellion!!"
"Dandellion!!!"
"You?"
"I told you boys we'd help you…just didn't expect we'd be doing all the work. But hey; that's what a woman is for, right? We were put on this earth to be helpers!!"
"Dandellion, that's not what I….ouch!! What was that for, Hopper?"
"Zeke, if you have nothing to say then it's fine. I trust whatever you were going to say was the truth."
"Hopper, why did you stop me?"
"Look!! When Dandellion raised her hand to volunteer; something blue fell out of her shirt. Could it be? You said Adalyn was sick so if we snatch the oxygen then we will no longer have a missing piece. Quick, go get it."
"Dandellion!!"
"Zeke, what? What is so important that you simply must tell me right away?"
"I'm sorry!!"
"Sorry for what?"
"I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry about everything I've done in the past, and I'm sorry for everything that I have not yet done in the future."
"You ready, Dandelion?"
"Old man, I was ready long before you were even born."
"It's just that Pures are known to give life; not take it."
"Whoever said Willow was going to die?"
"Why is the Nightmaster smiling?"
"I don't know; just hurry."
"Found it!!"
You ready to die, Willow?"
"Dying was never on my bucket list, but before I go I just want you to know that….aaaaaaaaghhhhhh!!!!!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ooo!! Dandelion, she was about to say something to you and you just threw her in. Why? Do you feel no remorse?"
"I do, but whatever she was going to say can wait till next time. Also, if she kept talking then I don't know if I'd be able to do it."
"You monster!!! You killed my grandmother and she didn't even do anything to deserve it. Why? Why? Why?"
"Eli, stop hitting me!! I did it for the greater good. Remember, I may have killed her physically, but you killed her name."
"You're a Pure aren't you?"
"So!!"
"Then bring her back!! Please!!!"
"Eli, that's not how….I said bring her back!!!"
"I can't!!"
"You have to!!!"
"Zeke!! I need your help over here. Grab onto Eli and take him back with you."
"Come on Eli!!!"
"No!! No!! Nooo!!! She killed her!! She killed her!!! She kille….mmmmmm…"
"Dandellion, how are you going to get back?"
"The Nightmaster will take me. Won't you?"
"Hopper, she is in safe hands. You three, run along home and we'll catch up. Here, take the keys."
"Keys!! What for? I thought your car ran only on…..who said you were driving my car?"
"Yes sir. Thank you."
"Now what?"
"Dandellion, want to help me round up the Horsemen?"
"What was that all about? Why did Dandellion want to stay?"
"I don't know. Maybe it was because she just lost a friend. Anyways, we got what we needed so let's go."
"Where were her tears?"
"Where were yours?"
"I had none, but didn't you think it was too rushed like there was a hidden….shh!! We got what we needed and she can do whatever she needs, but let's go."
"Nightmaster?"
"Yes, dear."
"What makes you so confident that I will be able to walk up to these horsemen without being eaten?"
"Horsemen have souls, correct?"
"Yes?"
"I have a soul, correct?"
"Umm, I think so."
"Mists are souls, correct?"
"Yes. What's your point?"
"My point is that if you wanted too; you could wipe every single one of us out or make us all fall underneath your orders. That is; if indeed you are a true Pure."
"Are Pures that powerful or are you lying to me?"
"Have I ever lied before?"
"No, but demons do come from the Father of Lies."
"So that means we lie just like our father does and don't know of past, present, and future things to come? We are all angels after all and as such; Jesus raised us to tell the truth. If you don't believe me then ask your sister, Adalyn. She seems to know all about us."
"I'm good. Your word is golden."
"That's what I like to hear. Thanks for helping me with the Horsemen. Shadow told us not to get involved with others' problems, but he didn't say to not take pity on them. I may not be able to give you one of my healers, but wait right here a sec. I might know a way around that."
"Hello Dandellion. Up to play a little game?"
"Took your sweet time did you, Willow? Thankfully, Sixth Star taught Adalyn and I how to hone our senses and all I have to say is, 'Never trust Christians. Zeke and Hopper have been lying to me this whole time; and they stole my oxygen!!"
"What else is new."
"It's time they get taught a lesson!!! That's what is new!!"
"That's my girl!! Ready for the fuse?"
"I've never been more ready!!!"
"Dandellion!! Dandelli…you sneaky bastard. I saw Willow fuse into you just now. Was that your plan all along? What, you don't trust my Horsemen and a few Christians to help save the Mists from taking over?"
"Let's just say; these new 'Pures' are not the only ones who are fakes."
"I see what you mean. That's why I got these for you. We now have two cars out of commission, but I think it was worth it. Inside these crystal crosses are the light that helps energize our cars. With them; cars can heal others. Without them; they are just regular cars."
"You know. You could have just let the exhaust hit me or place me underneath the car. If the car uses this as energy then that means that is what it spits out so….wait! Why are you crushing one with your hands? Get that fist away from my heart. I feel you're trying to touch something you shouldn't be touching!!"
"Dandellion, I could hit you with the exhaust, but then it would wear off overtime. Here, you can have it forever. It works just like the cars do. You keep the faith; they keep the energy. Here, take it and let it flow through you. This has never been done with a Pure before, but it has also never gotten this bad. You are the only ones who can accept this fuse and with it you can heal others so let's find out."
"But God heals people. Everytime we place our hands on someone; they get healed."
"That is true, but we all know how fast God is."
"Good point!!"
"Can you feel the energy surging through your veins?"
"I….I…I don't…..wooooo!!! That was a brain freeze. I could feel it all over my body."
"That means it is working. Once your body cools down; this new energy will take over. Now you can turn it on and off with just a clench and a twist of the hands. With it; all you have to do is place your hands on someones' heart and they will be healed instantly of whatever they're dealing with."
"You don't make this stuff up. My hands are legit glowing."
"Now turn it off. I feel like if there are so few of you then you can use all the help you can get."
"Thank you, but why are there two more crosses in your hand instead of just one? Isn't my sister the only other Pure?"
"She is.....for now. But, I know that you will find another in due time. Until then; you need your rest which means that I have to get you back pronto."
"Wait, you said you can tell of future events. Mind telling me who wins tomorrow?"
"Dandellion, I am a demon and not an eight ball. If you want an answer from me then you have to offer another sacrifice, but seeing no one else is here and the horsemen are already shipped to go; then I'd say you're out of time."
"Shoot!! Can't blame a girl for trying, right?"
"No!! No, I cannot!!
