[A/n: Siren appeared from a corner, waving at you to come over,
"You can play the song above before you read the chapter or before the ritual starts at this chapter. Anyway its your choice." she beamed but disappearing from sight afterwards]
He carried her to where the Ritual is currently being held.
As he went on his walk, he stepped into the light as the darkness disappears. He carried the unconscious Lianna. He went into the memory of the Enchanted Cave, it was where he could go to.
Not until he saw the real Collins watching them. They looked the same, same clothes, face, hair...
But not the eyes. Oh no, this one is different and he is sure of that. He's aware that he is simply a hollow copy of his. He alerted Vishnu of his coming which made the scientist enraged.
He put down Lianna to a magic circle and tied her arms and legs so she cannot move in case she wakes up. "There she is... The perfect catalyst..." Vishnu looked at her with malice. He was surprised she remained asleep,
"Let us begin this Ceremony," Vishnu declared.
The magic circle where Lianna was put glowed red, it contrasted to the pitch black environment of the ritual.
Red hooded figures appeared out of red smoke that the magic had caused. They surrounded Lianna, Vishnu and Hollow-Collins. Calm music played out of nowhere, it was incomprehensible for normal people, even Vishnu cannot understand it, but he complied anyway.
"Trapped within the silence inside
Watching as the days go by outside
All this replacing, discarding my face in this hollow tune..."
A silky female voice started to sing,
"The fall of the idol will tear us limb from limb
To where wondering was a sin
To where nightmares can begin..."
She appeared from amass of magic and dust and circled Lianna, still unconscious but her eyebrows furrowed.
"This life did not choose us, it chose to consume us,"
She grabbed Lianna by her shoulders,
"To ready for the day we march with dread beneath the sway!"
The hooded figures started to sing along with her. Then she disappeared as she plunged into Lianna's back, seemingly possessing her. But Lia showed no signs of movement,
"Dark nights are upon us
Black magic slays on the chorus
For the choir's in tune with an angel
Foresight o the broken chain us!
May her demeanor combine us
Within sorrow and blindness
We'll follow where the path of freedom can rejoin us now!"
The mentioned figures started to sing in unison. Their deep voice made the atmosphere heavy. Lianna was twitching at this time, seemingly the demoness actually trying to possess her.
"We bow before a fake, for goodness sake
Where's the pride when we needed it to carry away?
This decay (Ignite.) has derailed (Defy.)
Now she walks leaving trails (We cannot Testify.)
Of the damned! (May the shadows haunt the scenes, kneel down for the Queen!) "
It was effective. Lianna started to levitate in the air, her head was facing upwards, her eyes and mouth were full of white light.
And this time, the Red Demoness popped out of her chest, not scarring any of her clothes but almost piercing her soul.
"Fall into the hands of sorrow
Drawn by the darkest bay
Walk into the pit of silence
I AM THE ONE CALLING YOUR NAME!
I, in the name of violence
Sentence you down to hell!
Live or you will die
Just for the sake , fetch me the tools
So I create this instrument of CYANIDE!"
The Red Demoness took the watch from Lianna's grasp, she grinned ear to ear with sheer maliciousness and wickedness. The dark room was only illuminated by red lights of candles lit by magic, the magic circle below Lianna and her glowing white eyes and mouth. It was brimming with power, pressure and malicious intent. Vishnu dared to speak to his amazement but Hollow-Collins raised his hand to stop. He looked at the old man and gave him a 'don't interrupt' look. Vishnu then moved his eyes to the ritual.
The song continued on and the demoness had felt her body slowly solidifying. Until it was on the last part,
"It is time for you to leave, or so it may seem..."
"Dark nights are upon us
Black magic slays on the chorus"
"Drag you back down to hell, listen to me!"
"I've waited her for the longest time!"
"Your friend is now mine--"
The red demoness noticed a young man looking around as she sang, he then looked at her grimly shocked at what's happening.
"--ALL MINE!!"
"DARK NIGHTS ARE UPON US!"
With the end part, she plunged to Lia's body and dispersed her magic.
"AH! IT FEELS SO GOOD BEING ALIVE!" the woman breathed happily as she felt herself in a body. Being alive and new, she felt nostalgic.
Dr. Vishnu was amazed and Hollow-Collins disappeared. He was made by the Demoness' magic after all.
______________________________________
This is insane, Collins must be hallucinating. Lianna's appearance have now changed, she now bears red eyes, unfamiliar clothes which cane be deemed a little revealing. All in red color. She had high shoes that reached past her knees though. But it disturbed him. He didn't like this. He can feel the evilness from within Lianna... No. That's not her. That is not Lianna. He firmly took hold of this thought.
Collins then noticed his clothes, it was back to normal; the green hat and pants, the blue shirt and the shoes. He also had the pipe in his hand and the small knife sheathed safely on his pocket. He only noticed this just now.
The Demoness looked at him with a smirk, Vishnu scowled at him and the hooded figures were gone.
Well, a brawl is surely brewing now.
