Loona the Caretaker

Cody Being Taken A Hostage

This Striker demon looked quite intimidating. He looked similar to a cowboy, a demonic cowboy. He was as tall as Blitzo, and he had a thin mustache above his upper lip, and had eyes that looked like he was hypnotized a little bit.

It reminded Cody of Rattlesnake Jake from Rango. As a matter of fact, this Striker was snake-like or lizard-like. He looked quite intimidating. "Howdy, little man." he said flatly in a mildly gruff voice.

Cody didn't know what to say and his heart was pounding like a drum. If he thought Verosika Mayday was scary, this guy was probably even worse, considering the fact that he was holding Cody at gunpoint with a long revolver. "I don't... I don't understand." Cody said. "What's going on here?"

"Now don't panic and try not to scream." said Stella in a calm voice, walking up to him. "I have some use for you. I want to have my vengeance on that cheating, cocksucking, imp-loving husband!" she looked scary when she was angry, and it understandably frightened Cody.

He realized that she was probably pure evil and bad to the bone. "but, I didn't do anything wrong. what does this have to do with me?"

"I know you're an innocent child, dear." said Stella, sounding more calm. "I will have you as bait for my dear husband and that Blitzo too."

"I have no idea you hate him so much, your majesty." said Cody.

"Ohh, I have had this vendetta against him ever since he and that loathsome imp were in the act."

"Are you going to kill me?" asked Cody.

"Nah, of course not." said Striker. "I could do that. yeah, I can kill you right now. But... I won't."

"Because Octavia really likes you a good deal, I have decided to spare your life." Stella added. "That is, if you behave of course."

"Or else, ny client here might change her mind." Striker cocked his pistol, putting it against the right side of the kids' head.

"Please, let me go." said Cody. "I'll do anything."

"I know you will, Cody." said Stella with a sinister smile. she knelt down and gently laid her hands on his shoulders. "All you have to do is rather simple."

Striker was the one to answer and he specifically stated: "just get Stolas here and tell him that his beloved wife here wants to talk to him. And be sure to bring your new friends too."

"Including Loona?"

"Yes." said Striker. "Those guys have foiled my plan to kill Stolas the first time. I wanna have my revenge on them."

"No! No! I won't do this to my new friends!" Cody exclaimed, trying to be brave. "I will never do something like-!"

"Cody?" said another voice. they looked and saw that Stolas, who managed to unlock the master bedroom door. Octavia was with him and she was in shock to see what was going on. Stolas looked guilty about this and he said: "It's alright. I'm here now, my wife has what she wanted. You want me, Stella? you got me."

"Dad! what the fuck are you doing?!" Octavia tried to stop him.

"Via! it's ok. Don't worry about me. Just go and get out of here."

"You heard your father, missy." said Stella before she shrieked: "Get out of here!"

Octavia slowly backed away and wanted to do something, but she was powerless against Striker and her own mother. She always had a feeling that she wanted to have revenge on her father for cheating on her, but not like this. She had no choice bu to walk away right now so she probably wouldn't get hurt..

"Look, Stella," said Stolas, "I am here, you have what you wanted. This isn't about him."

"I know, but I still have some use."
