Chapter 8: The Rift.

Chapter 8: The Rift.

"Where did you know that?" Artemis asked.

"Big Foot's memories. I saw it by Aizen. Welcome to my home sweet home Master Fowl, our hero." She's starting to mock him. "So this Opal Koboi was the promoter of Great Techno Crash, when she is alive. Let's just hope that she won't get out of the rift and the spirit barrier hold still."

"Spirit Barrier?" Butler said while Artemis is thinking if they have to face Opal again.

"That whole state contains a spirit barrier. That is why those entities won't get out of the state, which is why they won't come near me. However, in Holly's case here, the entity was inside her that is why it goes out. Those entities can enter a body if the said body was wounded. Now, it's my time to ask, when did she get her wound and why?"

"At St. Mary's, when we interviewed Clarence Rodriguez. We also got a letter. She hit her head in the process."

"That's probably my letter." Artemis nodded. "Do you know how he...died?"

"I'm sorry for your loss but I think it's best if I won't tell you."

"So it's worse." Artemis nodded again before talking again.

"This spirit barrier, does it destroy?" Then he noticed, his question is stupid.

"Of course, nothing is permanent. If the entities on that certain state has been too much for the barriers to handle then it will be destroy."

"We have to close it. If what you said is possible then Opal might tearing it up now. We need your help."

"Why me? You're a genius right? I mean, you kidnapped an elf before..." she grins, "then it turn out something real good–"

"Don't change the subject. We can't defeat those guys and we are running out of time."

"Afraid of Opal?"

"I thought you knew Opal now."

"Yeah, she's not afraid to kill. We're actually in doomed if she got out of the rift."

"Then you need to come with us."

"C'mon! I escaped there. Means I don't want to go back there anymore and now you want me to."

"Well, why did you escape there?" Artemis asked. Maybe he can use some psychological analysis to persuade this girl.

"I don't want to talk about it." She dropped the subject.

"Please. We need you in this... Just help us out, tell us what to do and we do the rest."

"Actually, only I can close the rift."

"Then come with us." N.N. stays still thinking if she would help. She escaped there because she doesn't want there anymore and now she is here in verge of agreeing to come with them. Tough life.

"Fine, I'll go. Just let me grab my things." She said and disappeared upstairs.

While N.N. was preparing Holly wakes up.

"What?" then she looked everywhere, "the hell happened?"

In the middle of Artemis' story, Dorian wakes up.

"Oh my God..." He exclaimed.

"Maybe it's best if you erase his memories and Mesmer him about what happened." N.N. said as she takes the last step of the stairs. No one noticed her going down... Her presence is hidden.

"How did you–" Holly began.

"Know about Mesmer? Because I'm not ordinary..." She said and demonstrates her powers but lifting, moving things to make the living room presentable. "Now do it so we can proceed." N.N. ordered Holly then pulls Dorian and pushes him towards Holly.
