Chapter 6

"You..."

"Me? You!," shrieks Jungkook.

"You're supposed to be-,"

"In an iron box?!? Alone with my anguish until the end of time?!?"

"Something like that, yes."

"Give me one reason I shouldn't tear you apart where you stand!"

"Because i'd destroy you if you tried."

"Have you any idea what you've put me through? You killed the man I loved and cursed me to be this! This hideous creature!"

Angelique laughs, "That was ages ago. Get over it."

"You expect me to "get over" being locked in a box for 200 years?!?"

"Don't exaggerate...it was only 197."

"It was an eternity! And I shall not see my earthly reprieve tainted by your foul presence! I shall have you tried for witchcraft and burned at the stake!"

"Things have changed while you were taking your little nap, Jungkook. My angel bay is Collinsport now."

"Angel Bay"...So you're the one who's driven our business into the abyss."

"They love me here, Jungkook. I'm the only big fish left in their little pond."

"Oh? And do the good people of Collinsport know that their beloved "Angie" is a bride of hell?"

"Do you really think anyone wouid believe a word you said? I've been an upstanding member of this community for 200 years...in one form or another."

"Oh, you're named may have changed but your form has always stayed the same; Queen of filth. Harlot of the devil. She-Beast of the,"

Angelique whip her hand up and the sores to the verbena swing open, magically, letting rays of daylight in. Jungkook hisses and recoils into the shadows.

"The people of Collinsport are my worshippers now. And to them? You're just a stranger who's afraid of the sun," walking out, she's turns to Jungkook, "Welcome back to the shadows, Jungkook Collins. I've missed you."

Collinwood Manor at night...

"Angel Bay!", is heard an anguished exclaims.

Seokjin is alone with Jungkook, trying to soothe his melodramatic anguish, despite his own shock at the revaluation of Angelique's true identity.

"The very audacity of the name summons vomit into the recesses of my mouth! For it has its proprietor the devil herself!", Jungkook exclaims wildly.

"I always thought there was something a little off about Angie."

"Oh if my vampire eyes were capable of tears, I would flood the earth with my weeping!"

"Jungkook, you've done more for this family in ten days than I have in ten years."

"Angelique means to destroy us, Seokjin. She hates me."
