After they were done. They went to see how her body looked. They had made her look beautiful. Both ramona and damon thought so. He curessed her hair. Then damons eyes went vivid as they pulsed a gleaming bright white light. He seen Denise's lips start moving. She spoke to him saying," its started dame! Its gonna get worst i wont be the only one in this parlor you must stop it. Before it gets worse. Damon replied how? I dont know how! If you were here we could do it together. Just like nancy drew and the Hardy's! Denise's arm rose as she touched damons cheek. She spoke kindly with hope as her lips were still," i told you. ill always be here!" She touched his heart. As she continued on," you're gonna need help! Wake up the girl. You can do it. She will help you. She knows. You can do this. I love you.," then everything went back to normal. Damon kissed Denise's cheek.
He heard his mother yelling from behind him," lets go! i cant bere to be here. Lets go to get dinner son. Im tired.," she had been crying so much she was exhausted.
They made there way to munch and punch. Where they ordered all natural burgers. As ramona liked to keep it healthy. As they were eating adam walked up to the table and said im sorry for your loss!"
Ramona looked up with anger. As her nose crinkled and her lips perched out. Her face was plush red. She yelled," i know you had something to do with this son! You took my precious girl and made her a druggie. That's why she started partying. You need to leave me be or i promise you'll get what-" damon interrupted her saying," mom stop. You're angry. He didnt do anything or he'd be dead too. Mom stop!"
Ramona glared at damon. While yelling," dont tell me what to do! she was my flower! Ready to bloom and this man right here helped her with poison." Adam spoke with sorrow. As he to was crushed by her death," im sorry ramona but i didnt get her started on anything. i loved her more than anything in this world. I just wanted to say she was everything to me. Id never do anything to hurt her."
Ramona stood up looking at her son as she yelled lets go right now!" Ramona stormed off. As damon stood there clueless. He spoke to adam," im sorry. She's just angery. Just give her time. She doesnt mean it." Adam replied with a tear down his cheek," i know buddy but i do love her. I just want you to know that." Damon concentrated on him. He felt a tingle. Adam felt a headache coming. Damon replied back saying," i know you did. I can see it. Then he walked out. When he got to the car. He seen ramona crying with the phone in her hand. He jumped in the car. He heard his mother talking saying," god no. Why is this happening.. Now this." She continued to mumble and cry with tears dripping down like a water fall. Her face red.
Damon grabbed the phone from her hand saying into it," whose this? Whats going on?" The other side answered," its sherrif wilson! We have your brother here booked for murder you might wanna stop by. "
So the two headed there way to the jail. Which was a small white  building.

Greg was working his shift at the outbreak tavern in argon. It was an old dusty place with metal stools and a wooden couter top. It had a big ole jukebox that yiu would have to bump to get going with darts and a pooltable.
  A couple of patron were sitting around drinking. While robby was drinking out a pitcher. As today was dollar taps. Greg got stuck working the mid shift. Which didnt bring in much tips but later when he got off his boys would help out like they usually did. He knew that.
Robby was sitting infront of the counter chugging away. He was on his tenth glass and his third pitcher. He was telling greg how he started getting visions a couple weeks ago about a woman who was getting beatin by a man. among other things that he said he'd take to the grave. In the back of gregs mind he was thinking that bitch told you. She'll get whats coming to her. But he knodded his head and replied," some story rob. Thats some crazy shit.
Robby then walked over to the jukebox and gave it a tap. As he played the boot scoot boogie. He started to drunkenly sing. He sloshed the words but no one would say anything. They knew drunken robby was someone you didnt mess with or there would be hell to pay.
While robby was singing. others joined in to drownd him out. Jeremy walked in with a tall black haired beauty. Who was dressed in a purple dress with high heels. They took the seat robby had occupied and the one next to it. Greg said howdy duty jeremy how goes it?" Jeremy who had slicked his fine hair back with a comb replied," the names Gus Sidwell stranger. Im here with my beautiful friend here to enjoy a couple shots!" Greg looked suprised by this as he replied," ok then whatever floats your boat buddy but your wife isnt gonna be happy with this one bud." The lady next to jeremy stared at him with a piercing anger. As she spoke," whats he talking about dear?" Gus stared back into her eyes as he smoothly replied," he's my twin brother. People get us mixed up all the time. Dont worry about it woman. You're the apple to my eye. Ill introduce you to him sometime if you'd like." She answered back saying," id like that sweetie," they continued to drink for awhile. Till robby in the back had gotten into a spat with a man. who was teasing him about how he was one eyeing the ball on tje pool table. He had went to hit the cue but slipped missed it and hit the eight ball with his stick sending it around the table. it went into a corner pocket. Robby hit the man with a pool stick. Fighting ensued. Which led to robby getting kicked out. Greg said next time im calling the cops robby! i dont need this shit. Robby replied ya ya" and he left.
On the other side of the fence was annie working at Molly's. She had been having a slow day. So she decided to go out and have a smoke. She stood out front. As a man followed her out to join her. He had red freckles with red hair and was wearing blue jeans and a bright red shirt. They both lit up.
The man turned to annie as he extended his hand to shake hers. He told her," the names barnibie Jones! Nice to meet you. How are you today?" Annie laughed. Barnibe spoke again," whats so funny? Annie answered him saying," barn ive known you since we were babes. I know who you are goof. How's your daughter? Jesse? I think." Barnibe smoothed himself out as he exhaled his gut. He spoke while laughing," i didnt think you remembered me after all this time. She's fine. The wifes trying to leave with her. Take her from me." He drooped his head. Annie grazed his arm. As she smilied and said," im sorry to hear that barn but you'll get through it. Your a tough cookie." Barnibie smiled as he said," thank you. Your so sweet annie. You deserve better than you have." Annie fakely smiled and said breaks over gotta get back to buisness but have a good one barn. tell jessie hi for me and sorry to hear the news again," barnibie handed her a twenty as he said thats the bill keep the change.

The femme fatale and katrina met as children. Katrina's black cat whiskers ran out the door. Her dad was leaving for work. When it bolted out. Katrina followed suite. She was crying while chasing him.  She was only 6 but screaming," you lil fucker get back here. She followed him to a fence. He was making his way over it. She concentrated on him and he dropped like a fly. He hit the ground with a thud. She picked him up saying," you cant leave me. We're stuck." She petted his head as she whispered in his ear," do it again and ill find a new kitty!" She turned around to see olivia in a pretty green dress. She was holding a red cat who she called fattie mcgoo. The cat was huge and olivia had trouble carrying him. She invited kat to join her with her friends. She said come join us we have a kittie club. Kat followed her to rosa's back yard where the others were with there cats. They started meeting three times a week with there cats in hand. They had tea parties dressing there cats up in bonnets and such. For halloween they matched there cats in costumes being witches, alice in wonderland. 
  They always took photos together. There parents thought it was adorable. After that the kids were addicted to each other. Inseperable! Besties for life. They took a blood oath to stay together forever but now back to the present. There cats were all dead. They gathered at Olivia's.
They were sitting in her guest house in her backyard. It was there clubhouse. As the room was full of all there memories. Photos, the old pink chairs they sat on with the old china teapots and cups.
Olivia had tears running down her cheeks as she spoke," i gathered you all here for i have grim news! Rosa was taken from us. Her mother called me and said they found her body when they were looking for the missing boys."
All the girls started to cry. Kat spoke next as her face was flush red," who did this to her!" Olivia replied as she blew her nose in a Kleenex," her mom said they have someone in custody but she wouldnt say who it was" the girls screamed and yelled. Rena protested saying," it cant be! your lying. I just seen her yesterday. We were gonna pick out new kitties. We had it planned. Your pulling our leg olivia." Olivia had a fountain down her face as she replied almost screaming," im not. We're gonna make something for her mom and dad. Then we're gonna brinng it to them. She was a sister to us. We won't let this stand. We'll find who did this to her."
Katrina stood up saying," they'll get what's coming to them. Ill kill em." Yhe girls screamed in solidarity. This made kat smile a grin as she thought," yes we'll find them and give em what they deserve.
The girls spent the afternoon making a postboard with pics of them together with the cats and all the memories they had shared. As they took photos all the time. It was easy. They had so many that they each made there own. After they were done they made there way to rosa's.
They knocked on the door of her brown mansion with a front yard so huge it looked like the whitehouse lawn. As they had hired groundkeepers to maintain it. Rosa's mother answered they could see she had been crying but she held it together pretty well.
She spoke to the girls," hey girls. Im so glad you're here! Come in." They walked in to see Rosa's dad lying on the couch with his face in a pillow. Rosa's mom yelled at him," the girls are here. Come say hi." He stood up and walked over to them.
Olivia spoke next," we made something for you!" They each handed over there poster boards. Rosa's mom started to ball as she looked at them. She spoke sincerely," thank you girls. She just loved all of you so much. Every one of you." Rena replied," and we loved her with all our heart. So did you hear anything more about what happened?" Rosa's father angerly replied," they have that demarko boy in custody. That little fuckers gonna pay. I promise. Im heading on my way to see him right now."
He put on his jacket but rosa's mom put her hand on his chest and said," dont do anything rash dear. Your angry cool down or youll blow a gasket. Then go speak to the sherrif."
The girls talked for awhile remenesing. Sharing memories and what not. Eating cookies crying then smiling as they remembered the good times. After that they went there seperate ways.
When gloria arrived home. She went up to her personal bathroom to shower. After she was done. She put on a pretty yellow sundance and did her make-up. Sheglossed over a light shade of pink to her lips with a little eyeshadow and such. To look good for mr Johnson her overaged boyfriend who could be the age of her father. She looked in a circular small mirror as she applied the shadow to the circles around her eyes. It was a black gloss with a hint of green. As she was looking she saw what looked like a ghoul. Skin and bones. She dropped the mirror and ran into the bathroom
When she looked in her bathroom mirror. she seen skin and bones with a hint of grey to her skin and no hair. She screamed. She blinked her eyes. After she did that. everything went back to normal. The overly developed blonde with the glow of the sun. She finished preparing and headed on to her date.
When Olivia was walking home. She started to hear voices in her head saying," one day we'll be one. We'll be invinsible. We'll rule the world. Just give it time. Im coming for you. We'll be together as one. I am your one. Call my name and we'll be best friends. i promise." It started lite. It had been happening for a couple weeks now. She'd wake up in the middle of night feeling a terror about herself. Bad nightmares, Talking voices nd even seeing hallucinations.
At first the hallucinations were children asking for directions. Then there faces would melt away to bones that talked in a creepy voice saying he's coming to take you over." Theyd laugh hauntingly. then The kids would dissapear into black smoke. Eventually the hallucinations became the people around her dying. All in different ways everytime. Her mom was on the guillotine another she was being hacked to death by olivia with a cleaver.
Then the voices started saying we will merge. be one! Be merry! It sounded like an angry man who wanted to be released out of a bottle. It went to we're gonna take it all. Itll be ours! one way or another. We'll take everything. Make em all pay. During the day when she'd be around people. It would tell her to kill them. Beg her. She'd reach in her pocket and ball her hands into a fists and without realizing it she'd black out. Waking up behind someone with a sharp object in her hand. About to stab a person in the neck. So lately olivia hadnt been able to sleep. It was hard for her to do anything. She thought she was losing it and maybe she was.
Rena on the other hand looked in the mirror everday seeing her face look like an old womans with all the wrinkles and features to go along. She'd look at her hands seeing them decay into dust. She too would scream.
After seeing visions of everyone around her in a pool of blood with her in the middle of it showing yellow eyes. She felt death in the air. Madame zatalla gave her a necklace so that helped her but it returned stronger. her face went to a demon state. A voice saying prepare darling we've got a choice ahead of us. So many of them. I havent chosen yet but i will. Oh i will. I do hope your the right one.
She was scared everwhere she went. She felt like a ghost like everyone was looking through her. She wanted to walk through a wall and into a pit of darkness. She didnt want to be alone tho. She thought it would get me.
