Chapter 160 - Night Terror

"Shadow, where were you?"

"He was…"

"I ASKED SHADOW. Not you."

"Father please, come with me just once and see your son. He has changed so much. His image is so much like mothers."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

"Stop sending me out to destroy him when I see nothing wrong. He has won mothers approval....and mine. Why can't he have yours?"

"He's making you soft, my son. Don't forget who made you and who can also unmake you. I GAVE YOU THE THRONE!!!!! If you disobey me again, and go out behind my back, then I will take it away."

"Father, where are you going? Don't be upset. I'm sorry. Please, what has angered you? Where do you go?"

"To take care of it myself!!!"

"Night, Rumour, Summer, Adalyn, and Wolf."

"Goodnght, Adalyn, Summer, Adelheid, and Rumour."

"Goodnight, Rumour, Adalyn, Sumer, and Wolf."

"Goodnight, Summer Wolf, Rumour…."

"Okay!!! On the count of three we will say 'goodnight all'. Ready? One, two….."

"GOODNIGHT ALL!!!!

"I will see you all in the…wait....wait. Let's count eyes. Why are there twelve?"

"What about feet?"

"SOMEONES IN BED…. WITH US!!!!"

"NOT ANYMORE."

"GET BACK HERE."

"Aaggh!! Aaagh. It's biting me. It's got my shoulder."

"I got you, Summer. Hold tight."

"I'm holding as tight as I can. Aaaaaaghhh!! It's tearing out my bones."

"PULL HER AWAY. PULL HER…."

"Phew. Heuww!! Hueww!! Huuu…whoo!!"

"What was that thing?"

"I couldn't tell, but whatever it was is struggling with the sheets over its head. Here. Let me heal that shoulder, Summer."

"That thing…. looked like Adelheid."

"If it is, then we need to wake her. Something has taken hold and won't let go."

"No!! You don't wake a Terror? That only makes matters worse and hurts the person more than helps."

"What do you suggest we do then?"

"Raaallllll!!!! I NEED BLOOD!!!!"

"For now…..run!!!"

"Get back here."

"Aaagh, it's on me. It's…"

"Fresh blood!!"

"Aaagh!! It's biting me. Get it off."

"NOBODY CAN HOLD ME DOWN."

"She's scratching me. WE need to calm her down."

"How?"

"Adelheid, it's me. It's Adalyn. Whoever is controlling you…you are stronger than they. Come towards my voice. Please. Reach out for the light and grab hold."

"Watch out!! She's throwing stuff."

"NO ONE WILL EVER REACH THE LIGHT AGAIN!! YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO CHANGE TIME? WHY DON'T I FREEZE YOU IN IT!!!"

"She shoots ice."

"Wolf, help. I can't. I can't. She has me surrounded. She….aaagh!!"

"Rumour, nooooo!!"

"Wolf, stop. We can't save her. If we stand here and keep running around with our head chopped off as Adelheid wrecks your place, then we will all become living fossils frozen in ice."

"I can…"

"Get down. You can't let her see us. This house I can replace…you girls, I cannot."

"If Nightmaster is controlling her and he is ice, then why not I go out there and face him with fire."

"That's too deadly. We can't risk the possibility of you accidentally scorching Adelheid."

"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE SOMEWHERE!! COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!"

"I HAVE TO TRY."

"Summer. No. Keep your head….."

"Aaaaaggggg…hhh!!"

"She's frozen. Wolf, it's just you and me. If you hold her then maybe we can take her to the Healer car and lock her inside."

"Is that the best idea you got?"

"Do you have another one? We can't keep running. Soon, there will be no house to run in."

"Fine then. Distract her so that I can sneak up from behind. One…two…. three!!"

"HEY NIGHT TERROR. YEAH YOU. OVER HERE YOU POSSEDED SYCOPATH. I LIKE THE NAME. IT SOUNDS A TON BETTER THAN NIGHT MASTER BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE TO POSSESS SUCH A SWEET INNOCENT GIRL TO TAKE IT."

"YOU!!! I'll have your head!!!"

"Adalyn, run!!"

"You don't have to tell me twice."

"Stop….moving!!!"

"Whoo, that was a close one. HEY, YOU ALMOS CUT MY HEAD OFF WITH THAT TV YOU THREW. DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER TEACH YOU NOT TO THROW THINGS IN THE HOUSE!!!"

"Raaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!!!!"

"Ha! Ha! That's it. You will never…oof!!"

"GOT YOU!!!"

"Adelheid, stop. You're stronger than this."

"I NEED YOUR EYES. LET ME SEE!!!"

"Adelheid…I...WOLF. I COULD USE YOUR HELP OVER HERE. Her hands are getting way too close, and her fingers are on my neck. I can't hold her back forever you know. The human body wasn't built like a tank."

"I'm coming as fast as I can."

"Adelheid…. please. Huuuu!!!"

"I CAN TASTE IT….SWEET NECTAR ON MY LIPS. I CAN SEE IT. I WANT IT…I NEED IT…..I DESERVE IT!!!"

"Wolf, Wolf…..aaaaaghh!!! She's got my neck.I can't breathe."

"I got her. She's not going anywhere."

'GET….OFFF!!"

"Wolf!!!!!"

"I'm okay. Man, it's true what they say. She is strong, but it's going to take way more than that to keep this puppy down."

"Adelheid…stop. *shieeeeessttt!!*"

"Noooo!! You'll pay for that, father."

"Uck…Uck…uck…"

"You're not bucking me off this time. Adalyn…wake up!! Wake up!!!!"

"LOOK AT HER. I KILLED YOUR WHOLE TEAM, WOLF. DO YOU NOT SEE ADALYN WRITHERING IN HER OWN POOL OF BLOOD IN FRONT OF YOU, AND YOU CANNOT SAVE HER. YOU CANNOT SAVE ANY OF THEM!!!!"

"Wolf…huuuh!! Wolf….huuuuuuuuh!! Huuh!!! Huuh!! You know what to do."

"Nooooo!!!"

"IT IS FINISHED. I WIN!!!"

"WOLF, TAKE OVER!!!

Aaaaagh!! Arshhh!! Arshh!! Arshh!! Arshh!!"

"STOP BITING ME YOU LITTLE MUTT!! You can never defeat me. Remember your place!!!"

"Then you must also remember."

"WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME!! WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME!!!!!!"

"I'll drag you there if I have to. Their is no clawing your way out of this one."

"Arsh!!"

"Come on. We are almost there. Just let me flip to the page."

"NEVER!!!

NEVER!!!

"BLAAAAGH!!"

"Eeew, you sick creepo. Those were Adalyn's lungs, Vagus, and God knows what else."

"BLAAGH!!!"

"'FATHER, YOU REACH DOWN FROM ON HIGH AND TAKE HOLD OF ME.'

Ouch!!! Watch the claws, momma, Stop scratching. It itches.

'YOU DRAW ME OUT OF THE WATERS. YOU RESCUED ME FROM MY POWERFUL ENEMY.'

Oh no, you don't. Get back here. You're not squirming out of this one.

'YOU RESCUED ME FROM MY ENEMY, WHO WERE TOO STRONG FOR ME. THEY CONFRONTED ME IN MY TIME OF DISATSER, BUT THE LORD WAS MY SUPPORT.

'Stop squirming, or I am going to break your legs!!!

'YOU BROUGHT ME INTO A SPACIOUS PLACE, AND RESCUED ME BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME."

"Nooooo!!!!! Noooooo!!!"

"Come on. Those doors won't stay open forever. Now move it!!"

"Raaaarghhh!!!"

"Now where's the key? Where is my cross pendant? Don't you move now. I'll find it. OUCH!!!! I said…NOOO!! Bad girl!! Bad, bad, bad, girl!! You don't bite.

Aha, here it is. Get in there."

"LET ME OUT. LET ME OUT."

"Healer, lock all doors."

"Yes sir."

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!"

"Adelheid, you want to know something. I'm talking to you too, dad. I 'believed' in you two and you both let me down. Maybe I am better off on my own.

You're gonna stay in here tonight and I'll clean everything up in the morning. Don't try escaping anytime soon."
