The Riddler (Completed)

RIDDLE XXIV: END OF EVERYTHING

"Che-- cherish?" She was surprised to see her again. "Wait-- help me? What do you mean?"

"My soul was freed when Dane died but I won't be here for long. She's now inside that girl's body and I'm here to help you defeat her."  Ricciane's still confuse, she don't know if she can trust her.

"Trust me. I made a wrong decision before and I wanna make things right. I'm doing this for my sister, to all of you. Please, do take care of her for me." Ricciane set aside all her doubts and nodded.

Meanwhile, Dane who's currently inside Lyka's body is still playing with Hernhea.

"Ahh!" Hernhea exclaimed when Dane hit her with a wood. "Agghh."

"Where is she?" She's referring to Ricciane. "Answer me bitch!" She asked as she hit Hernhea again.

"Aggghhh!" There's blood all over her body now. "Why don't you use your power huh?" Hernhea said sarcastically.

"You bitch!" She hit her again on the back and stepped on her neck after. "Die bitch!"

"You can't use your ability anymore, am I right Dane?" Ricciane appeared all of a sudden and Dane looked at her with an angry face.

"Tired of hiding li'l girl?" Dane slowly walk towards her. "You're right, since your stupid brother killed me but I can still change that." She continued with a grin on her face. "I just need to kill you!" Dane jumped on her but Ricciane was able to run away. She wanted to lure her away from Hernhea. "Run bitch!!" She screamed as she run after her.

'In order for you to seal her soul for all eternity, you need to isolate yourselves and be sure nobody's around except for the two of you.'

'But why?'

'You need to remove her soul and seal her inside your body.'

'Inside my body? But why?'

'You're an Alv, you're the only one who can do it and capable of having both abilities. You can do it Ricciane, I'll help you. We will help you."

"I won't fail you, brother." Ricciane kept running but she paused for a while and looked back. "Where is she?" She's not sure if Dane's still following her. "Where is sh-- Ahhhhh!!" Someone pulled her hair and threw her on a tree nearby. "Aggg." She slowly stand up and there she saw Dane.

"I won't let you get away, I still need your soul." She vanished again and suddenly popped in front of Ricciane. "Yaaah!!"

SLAAAAAAAPPP!!!

"Ahhhhhh!" She slapped Ricciane so hard that made her lips bleed. "Ughh--" Dane's now choking her. She leaned her on the tree as she lifted her up.

"You're mine." Ricciane's fighting back but Dane's so strong. "Dane Santiago will live again." She said with an evil laugh. Dane opened her mouth and Ricciane saw a smoke coming out from her mouth and's entering Dane's mouth. She can feel that she's getting weak little by little.

"Ackkk, agggg--" She's still resisting but her strength's being drained. She was surprised when Lyka's face is slowly changing and she can recognize who it was, its Dane.

Her vision's starting to blur, she can't see clearly anymore.

"Help me---  brother."

"What the?! Let go of me! Let go!" Dane screamed as she lost grip on Ricciane. Ricciane fell on the ground, she's still conscious but she's weak now. She raised her head up and looked at where Dane was. There she saw silhouettes holding Dane tightly. She shook her head and stood up, she waited for her vision to recover and when it does. She saw who's restraining Dane, white entities.

"We're here to help you Ricc." That voice.

"Brother." Tears started to run down her cheeks again. "Brother."

"LET GO OF ME!" She then realized that Dane's still in front of her. She can't break free from the group of white entities. "AAAGGGGGHHHH!!!" Ricciane slowly walked towards her, she needs to seal her for all eternity. She doesn't want to waste everyone's sacrifices. "STOP RIGHT THERE BITCH!!"

Ricciane place her right hand on Dane's chest.

"I won't let you hurt anyone again. I will seal you for all eternity." Dane's eyes widen and she started screaming indistinctly.

"Solum aeterna est omnipotentis Dei. Nemo potentior eo. Ego Ricciane Alv serve meus quod omnes vivi vasa quæ feceris." She looked at Dane as bloody tears started to run down her face. "Dane Santiago, be gone!"

("The only eternal one is the Almighty God. No one is more powerful than him. I, Ricciane Alv will serve as the living vessel for all of the things you've done. Dane Santiago, be gone!")

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Dane started screaming in pain as a black smoke flew out of Lyka's body. "CURSEEEEE YOUUU!!" Dane's screams ended. Ricciane fell on the ground and before her eyes closed, she saw who the white entities were. She saw her parents, Cherish, her brother's friend and Kessler smiling at her and as her eyes closed, their souls flew up and disappeared.
