Over the next two months. Annie got closer to Ms. Tyme. She infiltrated the rebellion and even joined their meetings. Giving them the information for everything they seeked. Her and luci got closer too. Spending as much time together as possible. She also passed her next test. Which was her and Ms. Tyme going to the world of the living. They would corrupt people. Make deals with them and collect their souls. They even persuaded people into evil and had them kill eachother. it was an art to them. A black art!
She had made a metamorphosis In this time. As she fed on living essence more and more with each day that passed. Consuming souls at a massive rate. Annie's power increased to a new level of evil. She became taller than the darkest seed, sprouting to a tree of everlasting length. She was still thin but her new veins spread throughout her in a bright reddish pure white glow with its own outline of blackness. Her eyes showed a thick foggy glow of darkness that could be seen echoing in the air around her. As her eyes still expressed the same inner swirl. while her body started to glow in a reddish black fogginess that echoed around her. Her sanity had gone from her. Her hands grew into sharp red and white claws. Her hair was now all the way down to her knees. It was a sharp thick whips of death that could strangle and decapitate with a knifes lifelike presence.
Luci on the other hand spent her time passing her next couple of tests. Which were she had to learn to control the power inside of her like annie did. She did it flawlessly.
Arthur would take Luci on trips to the living. Where she had learned to control people's mind's. Making them do wicked things like having a husband kill his wife and three kids. She'd put people in trances leaving them in a foggy haze. Not knowing what they were doing or making their true self come to the light. She would do it to the weak willed or people who had evil already inside of them. Arthur would say that's how serial killer were made. by our hand.! We just release them from there selves. Their craving would set itself free. To its true intent! We're just helping hands. He also told her eventually when her power reached new heights she could control people in the underworld but pure light cant be corrupted unless they themselves were pushed to it through wicked intent.
The rest of her time was spent gaining power from eating souls or spending time with annie and Arthur. As arthur gave her wisdom and annie gave her kinship. She had grown to look the same age as annie. When she first arrived at the school.
After eating these countless souls. Luci too had upgraded. She had completely white pale skin. Her eyes still had that grey blackness. Her hair was a silverish shimmering black color that went down to the middle of her back in a thick black and silver braid. Her teeth were black with a silver outlining. They were sharp as a beasts with three rows to them. She was still thin but had gotten taller in size.
Arthur himself had found Vatt's dead body but knew the culprit. He played it off coming up with an excuse. for he knew his plan to eleminate the pests infecting his school. He had his own intentions for them all. As him and addie gained knowledge of the followers and their plan. He'd play it close to his black souless heart. He let everyone believe everything was normal.
Except he went back to his old self of torture and unpleasantness. Whipping and stripping the useless. Killing and grilling souls that didnt live up to expectations. The students and teachers revered him again. Turning corners when they seen him. Cowering away like rats in the sewer. He was back with a darkness. A new found decree of evil. Each act more sinister than the last. His whip was tainted in the dead and the livings blood whipping and decapitating heads from their bodies once again.
Arthur told Mr. Vague to leave the school for there was to be a striking vengence against him. Arthur had known him for centuries and didnt want Mr. Vague. who was new to all this. to be in the middle of something he had no hand in but Mr. Vague said he loved a good dredging fight and he wanted to join him in it. Arthur told him to keep it a secret. Mr. Vague agreed.
Ms. Tyme on the other hand grew her organization to over 200 people. She had found the location of E-Ville and the priceless souls arthur had tucked away. Annie convinced her not to move till they were ready. She agreed. Ms. Tyme played her part of wicked niceness infront of arthur. She would continue each day as normal. Teaching annie to use her power and grew it to its full fruition of evilness. While showing arthur she was on his side.

Annie called upon her demons of eden. She told them what was going on and what was to be done to cleanse the problem. Her own solution! They agreed to her terms. As they would do anything for her.
She then found Luci at the backside of Arthur's house. Luci was riding on the back of what looked like a black foggy wolf beast. There where two of them.
They were a black fog with lite grey glowing eyes and sharp black metallic teeth. She was screaming in joy jumping around on their backs. Back and forth between the two. As they jumped around themselves howling at the bright white glowing sun. She was howling with them.
Annie walked up to her. Then spoke calmy," luce. We need to talk. I need to know something. If it came down to it all.. In the end. Who would you choose to live for?"
Lucy who was bouncing around on her beasts stopped. She jumped off its back. Then skipped up to annie with her arms swaying around pleasantly humming as she always does.
She smiled then spoke amused," you annie! Wherever you go. i go!. You know this. Whoever you choose i choose!"
She then skipped around annie. Humming pleasantly again.
Annie smiled her dreadful grin. As it widened to show her fangs. She spoke with a cruel lovingness," you know im a take care of you. You just gotta stay close to me from now on. As long as your loyalty is with me. We'll be together for eternity!"
Luci still doing her ring around the rosey with her arms in the air circling around annie. She spoke violently still," of course ann! Your my sassy sissy! Till the end of this world and into the next. Your mine and im yours. We do it together right?"
Annie replied with her fingers intertwined infront of her face. As she spoke with a grin full of cruelty," of course luce! Your mine forever!"
Then annie asked luci," how she found these beasts"
Luci replied happily," out behind the fields and in the forest behind Arts. They found me. There my new friends! wanna play with us?"
Luci grabbed annies hands and they spun around together. Talking for awhile about what was to come and be. Then they continued to play with the beasts.
Luci told annie their names where vegence and victory.

Ms. Tyme and Annie stood in the secret headquarters by the black river with Ms. Tyme's top five creatures of destruction.
She started by telling them that tomorrow night they would make their first move by taking those with the sacred light. she then proceeded to tell them she found the location of E-ville and after taking it. they would raise the army and wreak havoc on arthur and his remaining pagentry of followers.
She continued by telling the pale lady with dreadlocks and the black smokey figure with black eyes. They would corner little lucy while she's going to the world of the living or playing in the forest like she does. That they would stalk her out there and then kill her.
After that they would gather at the back of the school in full force. Then charge arthur as he slept in his coffin.
Then she layed a bomb on them. As she told everyone. She had convinced alot of the students to help her. Because they didnt like how arthur was running the show. Letting the living be there and deteriorating their way of life. That he had become useless. He wasnt the same wickedly evil man. He once use to be. Even tho he had changed back to his old self. He was just a mirage of a man who lost himself.
She wanted it done swiftly. Where no one would notice. With a quickness to it. As she said smiling, if you cut the head off the snake the rest will fall with it.
As she continued on saying,None of Arthur's followers would notice till it was already done. Then they'd have no choice but to follow her and if they didnt call her their leader they'd be killed. That if it got back to Eden the backlash could be severe. Costing them their own lives.
Ms. Tyme commanded that if this was all to work. Everyone would have to be aboard. They would have to shut the power from the school to divide arthurs congregation. They would have to cause a distraction. They all agreed and left back to the school through the same grey lightning bolt.
21
Annie told Arthur all of it. Arthur took annie and luci through a grey lightning bolt to a secret locatiom of his own.
They landed in a small white room with gleaming lights that looked like beacons shot out by a lighthouse. They filled the whole room in a bright blindness.
Arthur put blacks shades on all of them. They seen tons of children playing with toys.
Arthur told the girls lets consume them all but use the way that vague taught them.
Luci asked in her sweet voice why cant we do it the way we want?
Arthur looked at her with a dreadful smile as he replied wittingly," we're gonna keep them alive and replace them with a false light. so tyme thinks she still has it.
He then took out a ton of viles from a black bag. Light was coming from them with a sparking grey center. He released it. As he uses his mind to put it back into the childrens mouths.
He then told the girls this is like a placebo of darkness. It will spark madness in the mind giving a false sence of power.
After the girls drank the souls. They floated in the air. A black glow shot from their bodies echoing waves of blackness They grew to the age of young adults.
Then arthur looked at luci with a killer look of satisfaction. As he told her use your power to look younger you will trick them. Then tomorrow bring your beasts with you.
Then he told annie with a satisfying pleasure of evil.," you know what to do.
The three left going back to the school for their next task.

Arthur took annie down to the basement with the black veins on the ceiling. He led her down the hall and around a corner to a dead end with a door on the right side that led to what use to be Dr. Vatts office.
Instead of going in to the office he turned around to the wall on the other side. He walked up to it and spreads his fingers apart putting them on the wall. Black sparks shot from his palm. The wall opened up. as it shrunk down to the ground in a black gooey puddle.
They walked through it. The wall went back up becoming what it once was. Arthur led annie down a spiraling staircase with black veins leaking black goo with grey light going through the veins. As black goo leaked down the wall. They follow it all the way down to a black wooden door coursing with the same veins all over it.
Arthur opened the door going through it with annie by his side. The room was full of black veins on the ceiling that dripped blackish grey goo into viles set on wooden black and grey tables. The floor was a sticky thick black goo. They trudged through it to the back of the room. Where a machine sat full of levers and electronics with black veins leading to the ceiling from it. There was a desk next to the machine full of papers
Arthur pulled a lever on the machine. All the veins stopped dripping into the viles. Then arthur pulled a big vile from his latex suit. It was full of a blackish red stubstance. He put it into the side of the machine. Then turned it back on. It took a minute to start back up. then the grey glow stopped and a blackish red substance dripped into the viles.
Annie asked him what was that?
Arthur replied in a frightful bliss," its a poisonous acid my girl. From Eden's bark. Its meant to kill even the dead. Theyll inject it. Then die instantly foaming from every part of their bodies." He laughed.
Then the two snuck out together. Not being seen by a soul.
23
(That next morning. From Annie's secret advice to Ms. Tyme. She discovered the locations to everything she needed.)
Ms. Tyme dissapeared into a grey bolt of lightning and reappeared in Arthur's secret location. She then slaughtered the children and fed on their souls.
She could feel the false power of hope coursing through her veins. She felt enpowered. It felt like nothing she'd ever experienced before.
After she was done. She went to the hidden wall. Down the staircase and into the secret room. Where she stole every drop of E-Ville. Putting it into viles of her own. Then she left to distribute it to her army.
She gave it to all of them but told them not to take it till it was time. She then went to the dreadlock lady and told her and the smokey creature that it was time to get luci.
23b
Luci skipped to the woods far beyond the back of Arthur's house. Where Victory and Vengence would be waiting for her arrival.
The forest had big black thin trees that dripped black goo from there slim branches. The ground was a greyish black dirt and the sky showed its blackish grey horizon. The sun was shining its white glow upon on the earth.
Luci was being followed by the lady with dreadlocks and the smokey black figure with a couple of students treading behind them.
They tracked her till they thought she was completely alone. They waited for a minute while she stood alone beside the trees.
They aproached her as they injected E-Ville into there veins. Luci turned around smiling with her dark sharp silver lined teeth showing. Her eyes lit up grey and black and she cruely laughed. As grey eyes appeared from behind the trees.
The lady with dreadlocks laughed herself. as she spoke cruely," what are you laughing about you lil bitch! You're outnumbered. Your gonna die today!" The lady howls in laughter. The students joined in flaring there black veins out from their bodies.
Luci waved her right hands up in the air. As she stuck her left middle finger out at the lady.
Then the grey eyes creeped from out of the darkness next to Luci. As she replied with a sarcastic tone of satisfaction," who me? No!no!no! Not today maybe some other time but today you meet your maker fucker!" She laughed menacingly after saying this.
The lady and students veins started glowing blackish red. They coughed without an end. Then they threw up a blackish red goo and fell over dead.
All that was left standing was the smokey being. They charged Luci but Victory and Vengence pounced on the being. Then sucked the being into there mouths with their long black smokey snouts. They looked up howling at the sun. Luci joined in as she bounced around them in satisfaction. She changed back to her young adult look. The group then walked back to Arthur's to wait for further instructions.
23c
Ms. Tyme and annie waited behind the school in the same black field where she learned focus and patience.
The force of her rebellion started to arrive. All 200 of them show. The creatures,beings,half the teachers and various students gathered. As the students added another 300 leaving the rebellion at 500.
Ms. Tyme looking as tho she won an award. Smiling with victory on her lips. Her face showed triumph. She glowed a bright darkness.
She yelled in a high victorious gleam," my fellow rebels. Its fucking time to take charge! take our freedom! And our redemption! This school belongs to us but first we wait a minute till the distraction is set. Then we take that fucker who calls himself our vanglorious leader from this world and back to edens womb. With Death! As our weapon. Are you ready!"
They all threw there hands in the air yelling in unison," yes"
Then the building garage where they hooked the living up in blew up with a white glow as grey sparks flew everywhere. The backside of the school exploded in the same manner.
The rebellion marched to Arthur's house. Where he stood infront of it with Mr. Vague, Luci and her beasts.
Ms. Tyme with annie stood at the helm with the fellow followers behind them in a mob.
Ms. Tyme glowed with her veins popped out in full. She punched her right fist in the air. As the air was still. The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining bright.
She spoke with a full breath of air. In A strong mighty full terrorizing voice," any last words motherfucker!? Your time is up and a new regime shall reign forth. You're past your prime old man and now stand next to death's gravestone. I am your reaper! Here is my scythe!" She pointed to all those that folllowed. Then she continued," all you have is a full grown child a dementor and a couple beasts. I have taken your very own child from you. You're done! You're only choice is give me your essence or ill take it from you! What do you say to this!? You old bastard!?"
Arthur smirked a wide unatural grin. His pearly white teeth flared out. His eyes swirled around. He glowed a darkness as he spoke in a full tone of enlightenment," oh Tyme! I may have lost some vigor to my spice but i knew what you were doing. Come on Cratt Vatts! Im not that dumb! I may of gotten older not stupider! I surely will die today but not by your hand! You're nothing but a toad. Look at you! thinking you won! You didnt win a damn thing. Come on. Just give up before i show you the true meaning of death without dieing. Im a put you in a pit. That you will never escape. Even Eden will be impressed. Yes you took Annie. I give you that but you're no match for me. Your drunk on something but its not victory!" He laughed uncontrollably.
This pissed Ms. Tyme off. Her face glowed black. Her veins went grey this time. As her arm muscles flared out tearing the latex suit apart. She yelled in a hellish fire of anger," watch your ass Blank!. Ill kill you myself. I took your priceless and they flow through me. My power is stronger than yours. The last thing you will see are my eyes as i watch you die. What was once yours will be mine but first you'll watch that lil bitch of a girl die before your eyes. Now for the rest of you! Inject the E-Ville and yes i found that too asshole. Its all ours. Your time is up! Inject!"
They all started to put E-Ville into there veins but Annie. After a minute they all start convulsing dropping like flies. Dieing instantaneously.
Ms. Tyme looked around in dread. She turned back to arthur with a look of disbelief. Arthur took her head completly off from her body with his whip. Clean off with one fatal crack of thunder.
All that stood were some foggy beings and black sleak demons with red claws. They were then slaughtered like cows getting proccessed for consumption!
After that happened a grey bolt of lightning appeared and a dozen sleek black and red demons appeared.
Annie looked at Arthur with a smug smile of deception. She spoke with a soft presence of guilt," sorry Arthur but she's right on a couple of pretexts. This should never of happened. In your age you've lost your touch of victory. We cant have that. Eden needs a new generation to spark this world to its forner touch. Thats not you. I really am sorry. You've been a father to me but thats not enough. This world needs more,"
Arthur looked at annie in satisfaction with a black tear that falls from his cheek. Then he spoke with dignity," you're right im glad its you tho. Just promise me one thing. You'll take care of luci. You'll need her!"
Annie shook her head in agreement. Then spoke with sorrow," i will. I promise that. You are right. I need one person i trust,"
She took her knife and stabbed him in the heart. Then took in his essence.
She tured to Mr. Vague and told him," this is your job now! Eden wants you on the reins,"
He agreed.
Then annie grabbed Luci's hand. The the two girls, the beasts and the demons walked back through the grey lightning!End of story
