The New Light of Hope Book VI: Corrupted Aftermath.

Chapter XXIII: The Incident.

Amethyst:

Date: August 23, 2020.

The next morning came as usual and things were going so far, so good for the most part and as long as everyone got along with one another, I was happy. Well, for how long that would last? Not for long, unfortunately. As all hell was about to break loose that same evening.

***

"All right, Abigail, you're sure you're gonna give them a fair chance?" I asked Abigail that very same evening just as we went inside of the base. "Pfft, of course I'll give the Spies a fair chance!" She replied. "Don't worry so much, loser."

Summer was just about to open her mouth when I stopped her and said: "Don't even try to argue with her, Summer, she's only to grow even more hostile with all of us and God knows what else she's going to do. I'm already used to this."

Summer: "Umm, okay. If you say so, kid."

Just as we were settling down for the night, Aurora and Bellatrix came up to me. "Oh, hey guys, what's up?" I asked.

Commander Aurora: "Nothing much. We just wanted to talk to you about something."

Amethyst: "Okay, what is it?"

Bellatrix: "Sadie and Milly told us about how you and Abby had a bit of a late night conversation outside of the base in the middle of the night last night when everybody else was asleep. Would you mind telling us what it is about?"

Amethyst: "She woke me up in the middle of the night just to basically tell me that she didn't trust my grandparents or my uncle just because they're my flesh and blood and also because of their history of crime. But I told her to at least give them a fair because she's being a bit harsh with not trusting them to the fullest extent and we all know the saying never judge a book by its cover which is exactly what she's doing right now."

Bellatrix: "Ah, I see what you mean now. And thank you for telling us this."

Amethyst: "Anytime. Though I'm not at all surprised that she decided to wake me up just to tell me that she didn't even trust my maternal relatives in any way possible. If I have any person or animal in the form of bias narcissist,then it definitely be her considering that by this point-"

A voice in a different room: "Ahh! Oww! Abigail, what the hell?!"

Abigail: "Oh, will you just shut the fuck up and suck it up already before I do even worse?! Because I will do worse than that! You have no damn clue what the hell I am capable of!"

Commander Aurora: "Oh, shit! We better go see what's going on right now!"

Then we ran into the room where the noise was coming from and to my horror, I saw my grandfather on the floor with his hand over his right eye, blood dripping down and staining his hand and it dripped onto the floor and I could see Abigail standing right over him with blood on her left hand and her face wrinkled followed with a mix of a bit of growling coming from her. "Abigail! Just what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Commander Aurora yelled at we rushed over to my grandfather to see what was going on. "Show us what happened, Mr. Whitlock." Bellatrix whispered. The he slowly moved his hand and revealed a nasty scar on his eye and he was breathing heavily all at the same time. Furious, I got up and faced Abigail. "What did you do to my grandfather, Abigail?!" I snarled.

Abigail: "You best get your robber looking face out my damn face before you get the same thing as that weak bastard on the floor over there!"

Amethyst: "First of all, you better shut up; second of all, that's my grandfather you're talking about and third of all, you don't EVER talk about my grandfather like that nor hurt him like that!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

Abigail: "I couldn't give less of a shit or two about you or your family. You all should've died when you and the chance."

Of course, I could not let any of that slide at all. I could feel the blood dripping from my nose and onto the floor and then, just like what happened last month, my right eye went pitch black out of nowhere and all I could see at the moment was just my surroundings highlighted in the same yellow color as my eyes were. I could hear my ears ringing at that very moment, my teeth sharpened into lion's teeth. And then I punched her so hard that she fell to the ground. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled, feeling and hearing the distortion in my voice. Then, I could see Abigail's corrupted form crack through her shell as she got up and said: "What the hell is wrong with me?! Oh, I'll show you what the hell is wrong with me!"

And from there, we began to fight.
