Megan made her way to the church. She seen a man with shaggy black hair and grey skin. Lucid hissed at him. He turned around to look at her. As he did. She noticed that even with  the grey skin he looked like her father but he died in a car accident. Her dad alfred liked to drink jim bean. He fell asleep at the wheel with his foot on the peddle. The stoploght was red but his truck kept on truckin. He got t-boned by a semi. At the hospital he was put on life support. Then like that he died in the night. Megan went there and seen him with the children for his last night on earth. They were five.  That was the first time they truly came to understand what death was. They started to cry. Megan took them home. They asked her if he was coming back home. She'd replied no babies its permanent! He's up in heaven drinking one at the bar with grandma.
She looked at the man now infront of her. He changed himself into a thin tall man with brown shaggy hair with freckles on his face and his green eyes. He smiled at her. Then said happily," where have you been hiding bug" that's what he always called her. He started to glow a white vivid light. As he said with a warning in a warm voice," bug you gotta run far away this is an evil man! This place is evil. Daniel will save the children! You must go back and be careful. I fear both worlds are in danger." The vivid light disappeared. As it did. it showed the evil man. who now changed himself into an imposter of her father. He still showed that smug smile that her dad always had on his face. Even when he was alive. The man spoke nicely but with a hint of darkness in him," hey girl! get your ass over here! What the hell are you doing out here alone. " she was enamored by him. Put In a daze. She walked forward. She got a couple of feet away from him. He spoke again in his hoarse voice," i asked you a question!" She replied with a shaken voice," my babies are lost. Im just looking for them." He smiled from ear to ear. Then he spoke cheerfully," well let me help you then! We'll do it together. You know how them lil rugrats are! Always getting into trouble." Megan stared at him with her eye's getting wider. She wiped at them. Not believing their tale. Then she spoke nicely," im sorry but I'll look for them. Me and lucid have this" the cat hissed again. Trying to break free from Megan's grip. She smiled fakely.
This time the imposter spoke rudely and with anger," listen here bitch. You're coming with me. I want those children. Do you hear me! get your ass over here. Instead Megan turned around and ran. She tripped. Lucid got free and ran. she felt a thud against the back of her head. She seen stars. Then nothing. Passed out.

The children were holding Daniel's hand. While elena glided five feet infront of them guiding them through the woods. The twins were staring up at him smiling with their little faces of happiness. Daniel was talking to elena. He asked her why she was helping the children. She replied not all of us are bad. He said ya i know. Im part of an organization that specifically deals with your kind. We've got all sorts of things from this place on our side." Elena answered him nicely, i know ive heard of you down here. The new found glory. They tell stories of atom and the treachory he's performing but i dont bother with it. I prefer my own solitude. I don't prefer their company. Daniel looked  suprised so he asked her," i take it your not on their side?" She answered back quickly," hell no! There rotten and dusgusting people. Im just stuck here. I hate them and all they stand for! Aiden piped up saying what happened to you and how'd you get here!? Elena stopped and turned around. then she replied with sorrow," i was poisoned by a bad man. He was suppose to be my savior! The man who brought life to my world but he took it away! Then i was tricked by those evil creatures. I lost myself and became this thing. Now im stuck here. The twins both replied in unison," im sorry! Your a really good person! You dont deserve that.
Then he continued to chat for a moment as they walked. They came to a clearing and were out of the woods. They seen mayhem as they steppped out into a field of black with war on the horizon.

Rover was sitting on a bench in the town square. He watched the town go haywire. He seen a woman douse a man in carisine. Then flick a lit match on him. He started on fire but he didnt scream. He ran towards the woman and hugged her. She screamed. They both fell over fighting eachother till poof they were burnt to a crisp.
   Rover watched a car t-bone another. The driver of the hit car got out and started yelling at the man driving the other car. He got out too. Then they started yelling at eachother. The man in the hit car pulled out a swiss arny knife and started stabbing the other guy. He started to bleed out but still put up a fight. as he had a gun holstered. He grabbed it and shot the first man. Then he collapsed.
The place became a war zone. With death as the witness. Rover and his crew took as many souls as they could. They enjoyed this mayhem. As it was comforting for them but they were getting bored. So they decided to go home and see if they found the children and megan.
He knew the portal would be open till it wasnt. So he figured they'd go get reinforcements and come back to spread their evil around the planet.
When they got back. He found evil grampa alfie with a bunch of children in the street. Alfie was dragging Megan by her hair. They had put up a black cross in the middle of the street on a black wooden pyre. Then they tied her to it.
Evil alfie told rover. We'll get those kids too. They'll come for her. Hopefully in time! im hungry." Rover replied with a tone of satisfaction," well hurry up gramps! Theres more souls on the other side. I want to get back before it closes. Its fun over there. Alfie shook his head in agreement.
The children started to dance around the pyre screaming," cook cook cook em alive. Its the only way to feel alive. Burnt to a crisp. We will watch her burn burn burn. Away in the dust! Then they happily clapped there hands singing, turn turn turn as we watch her burn.

When the twins daniel and elena came out of the woods. They seen a black field with a greyish black sky. where black and white light were everywhere in the air. with tons of creatures in black and white uniforms. Who were fighting  creatures in black or grey suits.
   They were shooting lights back and forth at eachother. It looked like a fire works display. Others were Fighting with there sharp claws out stabbing and clawing eachother. While people of the living shot big blinding lights at the people in the black or grey suits with grey or white pale skin. With demons and smokey figures floating around fighting eachother.
The twins stared at it for awhile. Then said that's cool. What going on pop pop!" Daniel answered it looks like the new found glory brought the war to the underworld." Elena answered good for them! This place needed it. Hopefully they can put an end to this treachory! This place needs a new leader. One withoout death as the cause and I hope its atom!!"
  Alba looked at Elena with her pearly eyes as she asked curiously," whose atom? Daniel answered her with reluctance," he's the first creation of eden. He was turned to the side of light. Now he helps keep the balance." Aiden spoke up next," whose Eden!?!" Elena answered without hesitation,"she's an evil bitch! That created everything you see. She made this evil. All of it! Now she wants to spread it to the light and eat it all. Every dop! till its consumed in fear and hatrid. Then she'll take it all for herself." Alba replied back," she sounds bad! Someone outta destroy her.
Then elena said lets go we dont have time to smell the roses." They walked in the shadows of the tree line. Till they had to cut up the field. So they wouldnt get in the middle of the war between worlds. Daniel had the kids hugged to his side. He told them we're running through it! So get ready stay by my side. I dont want you two to get hurt. They started to book it through the field. As they were going through it. Explosions were happening all around them. A man in a black suit got thrown infront of them. He was wearing a black suit. He stared up at them but daniel shot him in the head. They continued to run but a red and black sleek towering demon grabbed alba lifting her into the air. As it started to glide away with her. Elena entered the demon swirling into its mouth. They internally fought back and forth for a minute. Then it dropped alba. Daniel unloaded his clip into it. It fell over. Elena jumped out. They continued to run.
They were halfway through the field. When they got surrounded by black smokey beasts and evil megan. She lunged at the kids saying," you lil fucks are gonna feel death today. She spread her claws out to strike. The beasts leaped at Elena and daniel. Daniel fumbled around for his white sparkling powder but a black veined being sucked them in before he had the chance to get them. The kids looked around. Megan was gone but they seen a whiff of black smoke. The black veined creature told the kids go now! This is our only chance. He remembered them from klara's picture that she had kept on the wall.
They started to run again. The fight was going in full motion but they made it out the trenches. As they moved along in silence now. They seen a black tree in the distance. It towered into the greyish white clouds. It spoke to the children through their minds in a dark echoing loud bark. That put them in a trance," stay and play! we'll be friends for eternity! In my garden! We can do anything! Be anything! This world and the next will be ours for the taking. "
The kids were completely fixated on the tree with foggy black eyes. Daniel tried to move them but they wouldnt budge. He snapped his fingers! Nothing. He started screaming continuously, wake up. He shook them  Eden continued to talk in that evil manner that only they could hear saying,"come to me! You are apart of me. My blood flows through you. We can do great things together. In solitude we'll stand as one! Be apart of me. Bring me the necklace! We can be whole! Ill show you the way!" The kids started walking like zombies in her direction. Daniel scooped them both up. They started to scream and kick. Daniel spoke with worry," come on alba! aiden! please! stop this madness! I love you please." He kissed there cheeks. They started to settle down but eden spoke again," my children! You belong to me not in there world! They misuse your talents! Here they'll flourish! Ill teach you! Ill give you the love they pretend to show you! Here we'll be one! Under my thumb! we'll grow together. Now come home! To me. The kids started kicking harder and harder. Flailing their little arms around.
Daniel spoke softly come back to me. I love you and so does your mom remember her! She needs you! I need you. Please! Oh please! My loves.
Then the necklace in alba's pocket glowed a white mist with a black shadow. Elena grabbed it and held it infront of the children. It misted white speckling lights everywhere. The children settled. Alba started remembering when her mom gave it to her. She could see her smiling face. As she dangled it infront of alba's face and said sweetly," baby girl. This right here has been handed down for generations in our family. The first person to hold it was our oldest ansister mara. Now its gonna be yours. Its our symbol for love. As long as you have it. You can think of me for ill always be with you. Its our love. Now whenever you want. hold it in your hand and know im thinking about you. I will always be here for you as long as you have it." The black fog left alba's eyes. She went to her brother. She concentrated on him and felt a blink grow in her mind. It expanded. Then it shot a light from her and into aiden. His eyes settled too. He looked around dazed saying what happened. Alba replied angerly," that thing tried to take us. We can't let it. We gotta destroy this place aid! Its time to go.
Daniel hugged them. As he held them tight he told them dont ever do that to me again.
Then the three ran forward to a field of black statues. Hundreds of them  evely spaced out in rows of 20. in a square dirt grey field with the two speckling starlight black statues standing in the middle of it. As a big ball of light With a black outer shell and a white foggy hollowed out inside of light circulated in the sky. With two rings on the outside of it. One black the other white.
