Can you hear my call?Now I'm popping in. Over here, over thereI'll be checking in. But you'll never be aware. In the beginning, I kept a keen eye. On the state of affairs with the new guy."

-Taiga-

All of my Mistress have  a lot of things in common but one thing that seems to stick with them over the years is the ability to worry me.

From Rose's public declaration of being a witch in front of an angry mob of villagers to save a child to Millia, who ran across a live mine field in the of a war zone for her friend.

And now Corina from her insistence to hide certain things from me to her refusal to allow me to murder her mother.

To be honest I wasn't surprised when I found her and Matthew standing beside the wreckage of what looked like the husk of a burnt out car.

While Corina had an oddly satisfied look on her face, her brother appeared to be staring off into space.

"So I take it that your mother was involved?" I guessed.

Corina let out a small sigh her arms crossed. "Yes, she drugged us and tried to kill me, Matthew and herself apparently. Thankfully I woke up in time," she muttered.

I glanced toward the driver's seat where a very charred and slumped over corpse sat completely unrecognizable other than the fact that it looked like a bunch of burnt hamburger meat.

I'm a bit hungry but I wonder if she even had a soul?

"Even if you hadn't woken up in time I wouldn't have let you die," I told her.

Corina let out a small chuckle then smiled slightly," Ah yes, I'd almost forgotten about that. You always seem to know where I am."

I smiled slightly. "Of course I do my, Puppet Master. After all, you literally control my actions," I reminded her.

"W-what do we do?" Matthew whispered.

Corina frowned. "That is a good question we can't report this to the police I can see the tabloids now. And not only that when reporters start snooping they do it thoroughly," she grumbled.

"I may have a solution to that while I was out I went to, Gregory and retrieved what I was looking for quite some time," I told her as I unrolled the large map I had acquired from Gregory.

She from as she cocked her head to the side. "What is it?" She asked.

"In all honesty, Corina the true reason why I must find you repeatedly and why I exist in a sense is because of a certain competition that is happening right now. There are four other contestants very similar to you and me in different parts of the world. When you finalized your contract with me that beam of light was a signal to the others that you had finally once again joined the competition," I explained.

Corina leaned over the map and examined it closely. "So...it's some type of game?" She asked me slowly.

"No it is a very deadly competition, what happens is we must kill the other four competitors if we want to reach the prize which is the Nirvana. Once there you may have any wish granted. Millia, was, of course, the last winner there she was deemed, Puppet Master and or Ring Leader," I told her.

Corina's frowned deepened. "What in the world is a Ringleader or for that matter a Puppet Master I've been getting called that a lot," she mumbled.

However, I didn't answer her because I couldn't.

After a moment of silence and her staring at me, Corina sighed. "You're not going to say anything are you?" She asked.

I continued to remain silent.

"So what do we do in this competition?" She asked me.

"Well first we fly to Europe, we have to go to Britain and find the contestant by the name of, Elize," I told her.

"We can't go there! That place isn't safe! I won't let you go, Corina!" Matthew snapped.

I rolled my eyes and I tried my best to ignore him. "How much war propaganda has your brother seen or read?" I asked Corina.

She also rolled her eyes. "He travels a lot so he sees many things both good and bad," she told me.

"Listen to me, Corina I won't allow you to go there you've been through enough can't you just come home and stay there with me," Matthew begged her.

I smirked at him. "Yes, she has been through enough mostly at that house that you want her to come back to. You should let, Corina do what she pleases you may be the man of the house but, she's the woman who survived in it," I told him.

"Shut up! Why do you always do this! You always appear out of nowhere and do this to my sister!" He yelled.

I let out a sigh as I looked at him. "What is it that you want, Matthew?" I asked.

I really wish I could just slice his tongue out and leave him to hang from a tree.

"I want to come with you, to make sure that my sister will be okay that you aren't doing unspeakable things to her," he told me.

I forced myself to contain my laughter when he spoke.

You dumbass if I wanted to do something like that I could've done it long ago. Hell, I could've tried it with Rose but she might have changed me into a duck or a rat.

"Impossible you can't come besides the Master or, Mistress no other humans are allowed at the competitions," I said.

Corina bit her lip for a moment. "What if, Matthew wasn't human though? What if he became like you, Taiga?" She asked me.

I closed my eyes for a moment as I took a deep breath.

Why must they always be so resourceful?

"I suppose that would be possible but you would have to create the body, Corina," I told her slowly as I gritted my teeth.

Matthew's face drained of color causing the ash to stand out even more. "I...have to become something like you?" He whispered.

I finally snapped. I don't know what it was about Matthew that pissed me off. Maybe it was his childish attitude, maybe it was the fact that he seemed to love blaming me for everything that happened as of late, or perhaps I just hated his blatant ignorance.

I threw out one hand allowing my stitches to flow freely off of my arms and wrap around Matthew's arms and legs restraining him. As I left lifted him into the air I grin.

"So you want to control everything hmmm? Well, Matthew, you don't have control over death," I told him as I began to constrict my stitches.

A second later all of my limbs locked up becoming completely stiff and I could no longer move.

I glanced at Corina to see holding her hands up in front of her they were balled into a fist as she stared at me. "Taiga...Mikleo please release, Matthew," she told me as she slowly opened up her hands.

I couldn't help but smile as I followed her orders.

My Mistress is a fast learner.
