New Dawn of Scare (Second Lordi Saga - Story 1)

Chapter 4 - Reunited

Since arriving in the human world, Hella had set up her personal lair in the basement of Mr. Lordi's mansion. During the two years of peace that followed after Vexus' defeat, Hella had spent most of her time in this large, dark, dry cellar, with only the few spiders that lived there for company. Mr. Lordi had offered her to settle in one of the many bedrooms in the mansion, but Hella had refused, contenting herself with a simple bed in a corner, as well as a workbench on which she had made several things to pass the time, like other wax dolls, lifeless but who kept her company.

But those two years of doubt and loneliness were over for her. Following the discussion she had had with the Monsterman, Hella had returned to her workbench, preparing several things for her journey in search of the being who could mend her heart and give her life new meaning. Although now being a creature made of both flesh and rubber, she once might have doubted that she would ever find love. But as Mr. Lordi had told her, she had to trust her heart. After all, in a universe like this, love seemed to know no barriers.

Sitting in front of her workbench, lit simply by a chandelier, Hella was finishing the final adjustments to her new weapon: a sawn-off shotgun she had been making for months now. On the table, in the middle of the tools, was also a butcher's knife. Despite having this power that allowed her once to summon a legion of living dolls to fight alongside her, Hella had decided to increase her own fighting abilities, and these weapons would help her. In addition, her superhuman agility thanks to her doll condition, would allow her to become a more formidable fighter.

Loading two projectiles into the barrels of her rifle, Hella engaged it, a satisfied smile forming on her lips.

***********

Noon was approaching, and as she had expected, Emily had made her way to the city park, dressed in a warm coat and a scarf around her neck, and was now walking towards the back, among the snow and the trees asleep with the cold. She had not seen any other inhabitant of the city walking in the park. So much the better in a way, at least it would keep him from having to endure those suspicious looks from people again. Known as an ally of the monsters and as the lover of their lord, Emily was also a victim of distrust of her own kind, with some even accusing her of being a traitor to her race. Although suffering from these judgments, Emily had chosen to ignore them, fully accepting the choices she had been able to make and not regretting anything.

But as she walked, Emily was also thinking about what had happened earlier that morning. What Kita had told him, and also, the presence of this masked man in black cloth who had observed him strangely. Who could it be? She would like to know, but in another sense, almost wished she would never see it again.

After several minutes, she finally came in sight of the Monsterman Mansion, and a smile formed on her lips, her heart pounding in her chest. Finally, she had to see him again. Emily picked up her pace, almost running to get there faster.

As she approached, she noticed the presence of several of her monster friends, all gathered in front of the entrance to the mansion. She first saw her dear love, Mr. Lordi, who hadn't changed since the last time, to her great pleasure.

There was also Mana, standing straight with his hands behind his back, and Magnum, static like a statute with his arms folded. Hella was there too, appearing to be getting ready. Emily noticed, curiously, the sawed-off shotgun the Scarbie had hung on her back, as well as the butcher's knife from her belt.

_ "Mr. Lordi!" Emily then said in a voice loud enough to be heard.

The monsters heard and turned to the voice they had recognized. Mr. Lordi reacted in particular, showing a big smile to see Emily running towards him. Seeing her again after all these months warmed his monstrous heart. He walked over to her, spreading his arms warmly. Emily leapt up against him and was hugged lovingly. Without holding back, the couple kissed tenderly in a passionate kiss. After all this time, Emily felt that pleasant tingling sensation again in that kiss, which made her heart tremble with happiness. Once again, the Monsterman and his One's True Love were reunited.
