I Spi(e)d (h)er [complete]

The beginning of the end

The monitors flickered before filling with static and going silent.
Ara could only watch in horror as machine above them turned on and started spinning and whirling noisily above them quickly.

Ara could only close her eyes in hopelessness as her soul was ripped from her body. Urchula and Delphina felt so stupid how could they have fallen for this. They were
supposed to be they ones who were there to betray not be the ones who were betrayed. it had all gone horribly, horribly wrong.

They could only curse their false friends in their last moments. Felin and Howlard looked at each other sadly as there was nothing they could do.

Their journey like all journeys had come to an end.

No Ara's scarlet eyes flew open if she had to go she would leave her mark. Didn't the notes say that the more betrayed or hurt they felt the stronger the machine would be, she scanned the room looking for something that would changer her mood the sharp chairs.
No.

the terrifying whirling machine above, nope. the betrayers Urchula and Delphina, definetly not. stoic Felin and a strange solemn howlard not bothering to close his sad eyes. That wasnt it or was it Howlard that's it.

She quickly threw all the bad jokes and puns she knew around in her head and went for the first one she could think of and yelled it at Howlard above the sound of the whirling machine.

"Hey Howlard this is a very ruff situation for you" Howlard merly huffed sadly still
despairing but Felin looked at her confused.

Ara mouthed at her "I have a plan help me out" Felin nodded before calling out to Howlard "you usually howl with laughter raising the roof." Urchula rolled her eyes "fools your done for this is the end your souls poof from your body soul goes everywhere. Bam. Simple."

"Hey Urchula why do you have to be so prickly" Ara quickly countered. The tearing feeling was now a dizzying feeling. The black spots in her vision and The pressure on her temples was just like the start of a migraine but she ignored it to grin at Howlard who finally let out a soft barking laugh.

He grinned before saying "Felin you didn't have to paws."

Ara started shaking with laughter Felin rolled her eyes warmly before Howlard replyed "do you know what the new mother dog was arrested for."

"No I don't" Ara said confused. "She was arrested for littering" Howlard's barking laugh bounced around the room Felin was smiling warmly at the others.

Delphina and Urchula were scowling deeply their anger hatred and betrayal still feeding the machine. Ara who was only filled with despair had a pounding headache so she couldn't imagine how bad they were feeling with their two strong complex emotions being pulled out of them roughly.

Bella finally understood what Ara Felin and Howlard were trying to said a very bad joke of her own "I wanted to go to the zoo to see a lot of animals but there was only a small dog. It was a shih-tzu" the atmosphere was now very light and the whining of the machine was much softer warmer and the pulling now felt like a warm bath instead of scalding water
being poured on the skin.

"Mutts you hound me with the bad puns" Felin hissed no heat in her tone. The atmosphere in the room was light and happy bella fluttered her soft wings, Howlard was madly wagging his tail.

Ara was grinning like a fool and Felin had a warm glow in her Amber eyes.

Ara smiled at Felin before saying " you better be kitten me right meow" bella was now laughing so hard tears were running Down Her face.

She giggled before looking a Delphina and saying "I knew you you had a dodgy purpiose" Delphina looked around the room it was hopeless then she realised the machine was there to slowly pull their souls out of them if a soul was given quickly that would hopefully break the machine. She looked at Urchula, she would easily give her life for Delphina but Urchula had already traded her vision so Delphina decided she would do it for them.

The nervous girl who Delphina had constantly belittled, the unfeeling cat woman, the pun cracking dog, the ditsy spider hybrid and most importantly Urchula her dear young friend who had sacrificed her eyes for her and would do it again.

Delphina closed her sparkling saphire eyes letting out a breathy "goodbye before she transformed her two long shapely grey legs into a single tail but because she was
restrained the bottom of her legs was removed the blood loss was extreme and rapid.

She quickly fainted. Her heart couldn't handle this quick loss of blood pressure and she quickly died. The pale pink drained from her porcelain cheeks, her perfect pink rose bud of a mouth was relaxed in a sweet smile as the light pink of her lips became a deathly white.

Her bright light blue eyes that had allways shone like polished cut blue sapphires were now dull and lifeless as if they were stones rejected by a jewler. She would stay like that forever, like a young girls porcelain doll her parents had told her to keep on a high shelf to keep it from being damaged.

As soon as her heart stopped as even though it valiantly tried it just couldn't pump blood that wasn't there, her shackles released her fragile, broken, pale corpse onto the cracked unforgiving tiles.

She stayed there crumpled broke lay against the bottom of her chair, her spun white
golden hair was quickly staining pink in the pool of blood she lay in.

The machine was made to slowly pull away souls not quickly take them and was thrown of balance the bolts closest to Delphina snapping causing stress on the remaining bolts. Urchulla felt the loss of her partner in crime.

No not only that.

Delphina was urchulas heart and soul she would anything for that woman. She closed her eyes hiding the empty sockets praying and begging for anyone with the power to help her would appear and help.
