Hard Times
"Well I want to forget its just.. I miss her.." Alma mumbled.
"Well I get it but.. She sacrificed herself.. For a good reason too!" Merri said convincingly.
"Good reason? Gee if a serial killer who banished his own mum to the Underworld is a good reason to get your self trapped there instead-"
"Shush, your thinking to hard.. Get some rest you haven't slept in days!" Merri demanded.
"Fine, but tell Queenie I love-"
CRASH!
"What.. Now?" Merri mumbled as she walked outside to see Gatan.
"Oh im gonna kill you! She almost fell asleep!" Merri shouted.
"No need, she'll be able to rest after this news!" Gatan said proudly.
"Oh yeah.. Better be good, SHOOT!" Merri shouted.
"Queenie.. Has been to much of a burden in The Underworld so either you want her back or we destroy her soul!"
"Give her here NOW!" Merri demanded.
"I was hoping you'd say that!" Gatan said as he snatched her from behind him.
"Merri!" She shouted as she wrapped her in a huge hug.
"Queenie!"
"Come inside!" Merri said as she ushered her into the hotel room.
"Shes sleeping, how?" Merri asked in shock.
"Well.. Thats great!" Queenie said sarcastically.
"Well.. Merri how have you been?"
"Fine.." Merri says slowly as a frown rose on her face.
"Whats the frown?"
"Its just.. Me and james haven't really been on talking terms since the funeral.." Merri said.
"Which was three weeks ago!" Queenie shouted in disbelief.
"You guys need some.. Some ther-"
"QUEENIE!" Alma yelled as she got up from the bed and wrapped her in a huge hug.
"Oh Alma!" Queenie shouted as she kissed her.
"But.. How?"
"Gatan let me go!" She replied.
"Guys.. Somethings not right.." Merri mumbled.
SWOOSH! BOOM! CRASH!
"What the hell.. Is it now?" Queenie mumbled as she walked outside with Alma.
"I know who.." Merri mumbled as she followed behind.
"Woah.." Alma mumbked as she glared at the huge storm starting as a strong clear force swept the town.
"The.. Dark.. Witch?" Merri mumbled as her face went pale.
"Im.. Baa-aack!" She said in a playful tune.
"Mother?" Queenie mumbled.
"Such a show-off you know all this.. Was unnecessary.. Right?" Merri asked.
"Eh.. But.. Revenge, Revenge.. Sweet revenge!" She shouted as her grin grew deeper.
"Now.. Im gonna let you lads.. In on a secret.. Im cursing this.. Dreadful Earth!" She chuckled as she began to walk around.
"But there is an antidote.. So, find it and during the curse you can wake yourself, but you only have 12 hours before my curse arrives.."
"Time.. Is of the essence.. Lady's!" She chuckled as she teleported away.
"We need to warn Alsar.. This is not good!" Merri shouted as she teleported them to The Agency.
