"Where are the items?" they interrogated her.
“The items? Ah, you mean the children?"
"Yes, where are they?"
"They are safe. Don't worry about it."
"If they are safe then where are they?"
"They are safe. That's why I won't tell you where they are."
"You b*itch! Don’t messed with us. Tell us where are they, right now or else--"
"You will not get anything from me and I am not afraid of what you can do to me."
"This woman..." The man starts to clench his jaw and began to drag her towards their boss. " Boss, this woman won't tell us the children's location."
"What?" Cadill hollered in disbelief, “you can’t make a single woman speak and yet you were so proud when you joke about making one scream! Are you f*cking retarded?!” he then stomps his way towards the woman, "Mary Jane, I demand you the location of the children. Now!" He roared on her face.
" I told you they are safe. So, you don't have to worry about them."
Cadill’s patience began to snap out and he slapped her face, sending her across the ground. "Tell me now if not, say goodbye to your pretty face.
Mary Jane, wipe the blood dripping on her chin and looked at him with eyes boring daggers on his soul. “Go ahead, but let me remind you, I can do this all night.”
"What are you looking at?" Cadill picked her hair and yank it back making her mouth agape when the skin on her neck stretched. "Give me the location. Where are they?!"
Each syllable of that question rang inside her head, making everything around her became blurry, yet one thing is clear, all the anger built up inside her from all those years, rushed in her chest towards her hands, giving it the strength to tightly gripped his hand and twisting is back. Earning her some sounds of cracks.
Cadill was quite astounded by the sudden display of bravery and strength. His eyes were captivated by her rage-filled ones. Until he realized that a streak of blood is already trickling from his mouth and the sound of droplets on the ground and then he felt the sudden sensation to throw up and that’s when his blood splattered across her face. Just after what she did, everyone was shocked and they weren't able to lose muscle.
“Boss?” they called their boss however they couldn’t help him at all. Their wide eyes and shocked countenance watered the confidence in Mary Jane, making her let out a sick laugh that’s so quiet but eventually became louder.
“Boss?” she called Cadill in maniacally tone, “how are you boss? Are you alright?” she asked in between mad laughter while she pulled her sword out of him and immediately impaled it back, she repeatedly do it until his stomach is already shattered and she can see their shock expression from the hole she just made.
“Hey~! Your boss is holey!” she laughed while peeking from the whole. However, despite of all that happened all they can do is to watch her strike her opponent, cutting every muscle from his bones.
“Hey! The boss! Help the boss!” they shouted at each other but no one has ever made a move.
"This is for all those times,” she growled. "This is for all the times. You take my children away. They didn't do anything, but still, you keep on taking them away from me."
At this point, the occurrence is finally sinking in, so they decided to intervene and pull the woman away from their boss. But it cost too late now because Cadill is no longer alive.
"What the heck are you doing?!" Realk shouted at her before jailing her in a bubble. “Are you out of your mind?! He’s your boss!”
"Don't f*ck with me! I am under to no one’s authority!" She roared inside the jail. "I am going to kill all of you! each and every one of you!"
Everything in her is filled with fury and unfathomable blood lust. In their eyes, she was like an animal, thirsting for the blood of her prey. Realk can only look at her with his eyes filled with confusion and bafflement because Mary Jane the woman she is seeing right now is far from the woman who knew before.
“She’s gone mad…” they muttered under their breath.
"This is not..." Real look at her and then darted his eyes to the bloody and shredded corpse of his boss. “Did she really do this?” he asked himself, still confuse since he never expected her to do something like this, since she was always so gentle.
Another batch of their man started to arrive and they see what's going on. But before they could ask what happened to their boss, the bloodied corpse began to move again. Sending most of them into shock and they even ran away from fear.
"The corpse just moved!" They shouted repeatedly in frantic.
"What the hell is going on? Cadill, are you alright?" Realk asked in a haste immediately turning his attention to his boss. As he saw how he was got wounded and almost dead, but now he is standing up like nothing happened.
Cadill only groaned as he rubbed his neck. "Damn, that was a good one." He laughed curtly. "I've never got wounded like this before."
"The hell are you talking about? Don't move. The paramedics are going to be here at any moment. Stay there and don't do anything." Realk told him.
"No, you should go to the paramedics. I don't need anything," Cadill then stand up and then she he went to Mary Jane’s jail. He looked him dead in the eyes, with his skin falling from his face, revealing only the bones underneath his skin." I never thought that you got that in you, woman..." He snickered.
But the woman only mirrored his laughter, “I never thought that you got that in you~” she mocked him.
“You really have gone mad…” he finally peeled off his face, revealing his skull with his eyeballs that is bulging from eye sockets, seemingly going to fall. “If you are now a mad b*tch then I will no longer have use of you, maybe the children will the ones I will need, fresh human meat that young and tender will always be the best to cook… I think I like human stew for the night.”
Just like what he wanted, his statement really edged Mary Jane. This earned him cry and yells of profanities. Shouting how she would kill him this time. But Cadill's laugh only grew louder.
"Kill me? No one has ever said that to me before, so don't make me laugh!" after his laugh died down, he ordered Realk with the firm voice, "Get this woman out of the bubble…” he grinned, "Let's see who can kill one another, let’s have a little cockfighting, but this time we are the cocks."
"Are you sure you're OK? Boss, look at yourself. You're like a walking decaying person." Realk asked as he scanned the figure of his boss.
"I am fine. And besides that, human skin is only for disguise only. I’ve been itching to show my real body all this time." He then started to peel his own skin from his whole body revealing another creature that is made of bones, yet this is nothing close to any human-like skeleton, it’s far more superior than those, and just by looking closely they can tell that every edge of his bones is sharp as hell.
Those who witness him couldn't help but let their jaws dropped from amusement and fear.
" Is that? It's not our boss... is it?"
"No, that's definitely our boss."
Realk obeyed what has been ordered to him, and then he released the woman from inside the bubble, letting her drop on the ground, and she immediately launched forward to him and strike him again, but this time, she couldn't penetrate him. The bones didn't let her sword hurt him. But this didn't stop her from attacking him over and over again, even though all she can do is to scratch the surface of his bones.
"So, this is your power, huh?" Cadill spoke as Mary Jane keeps attacking him, but he didn't even do anything. He didn't even make a move from where he is standing. "So, you hid your powers from us and then wait for the perfect time to do this. You're such a fox..." and this time he went to punch Mary Jane straight here face and instantly dislocated her nose in the process. “I didn’t even think that you would do such thing, Mary Jane.”
Mary Jane let out a loud screech as she holds her nose, keeping it in place, her vision became blurry and she is getting light headed from the from all the smoke she just intake inside the burning house and from the impact of his punch. The nun didn't reply at all. Instead, she went to pick up her sword once again and decided to go and strike him for the last time. But even thought she’s driven with anger that is reformed as strength; she wasn’t able to do much.
"This is getting sad..." Cadill whined, "I thought you're going to put up a fight, but I guess you're not strong. You're just dumb." He then proceeded to kick her on her stomach, sending her flying away from them and the rest of them began to laugh from her hopelessness.
"Come on, boss, don’t be too hard on her." The men snicker.
“Well, I don’t think that boss will get softer any moment, just look at him, he’s… boney.” And they once again laugh at their jokes.
"Where are the children?" Cadill didn't even bother to take the joke and laugh along with his men, but instead he asked her about the same thing. "I am going to stop all of your suffering if you tell me. Where did you take the children?" His question ended up more like as a demand.
But Mary Jane is adamant, she is not going to tell him any information about her children. "They are safe, if that's what you want to know." She groaned. “I think that’s all you have to know.”
"Finally!” he exclaimed. “I thought you lost your tongue in the fire and the only thing you know is to scream." Cadill joke around, earning a boisterous laughter from his men. "Now let's try it again. Where did you take the children?"
"Over my dead body." She smirked at them and this made the boss grew furious.
"You b*tch!" and this time he didn't spoke up. He raised his fist and decided to hit Mary Jane, that will definitely end her in an instant. But before she could hit her, Blanche arrives defending the nun behind her from the powerful attack, and because of this, she's the one who took the toll, and she was sent flying in meters away from them. But despite the powerful assault she didn't receive any wounds or any damage. She just stood there with her firm stance, holding the weapon that who serves her the shield.
"What the hell was that woman? No one has ever survived from the boss's attacks!" The man began to applaud in amazement.
"Blanche, what the hell are you doing here? I thought I told you to go with them!" Mary Jane screech on her face.
"I can't just leave you here!" The younger woman yelled back, "We will go together! I will not let you die, get it?! You’re not going to die here; I won’t let that happen!"
This earned her a loud groan from Mary Jane, who shouted back, "I don't want to go with you. I want you to go away from here!"
"I don't care what you want. What I want is to take you with us! And that is final."
“Oho~ what a very emotional reunion…” Cadill cooed, but his mocking face immeidiately turned in to a serious one. "Men! seize Mary Jane, I will handle this, young lady." He smirked and he began to walk towards Blanche with the same menacing simper he has on his bony face.
His men under his absolute authority began get closer to Mary Jane, they didn’t immediately seize her as what they have been ordered to do because they were too sure about their own abilities and powers.
“Take it easy guys, this will be over in an instant…” one of the men said and they take their time going closer to her.
“You were the lady we trusted to take care of the children and be her assistant, aren’t you?” Cadill growled as he kept walking closer to her and he suddenly threw daggers of bones towards her, but the speed is too much for her to handle. And before she knows it, the bones are already an inch from her eyes. Luckily, she was able to pulled down by Mary Jane. “Tell me, were you planning all of this?”
"Are you alright?" she asked in a heave not bothering to go and didn’t even bother to listen to him. "Why are you so stubborn? I told you to get away from here and go with the children. But now you're here!"
"Well, I'm sorry for being stubborn and saving you." She stated as a matter of fact.
"Well, I guess thank you, but that doesn't mean that I am glad about you to be here!"
Their short conversation was cut short when they saw another bunch of knives made of bones flying towards them. "In Coming!"
Both of them run away from their previous location, but the knives are raining upon them, which makes it more difficult for them to fully get away; anywhere they go they are still under the shed of sharp rain of bones.
"Is that boney guy is the one who's with the mayor?" Blanche asked as they kept on running.
"Yeah, he's the right hand of the mayor." Mary Jane responded as she put her nose back on its original state with a small grunt.
"Wow. I never thought he could do something like that." Blanche awed at the sight as they kept on running.
"What do you mean? Blanche, this is not the right time for that. Focus!" Mary Jane yelled at her as she put her nose back in place with a grunt.
“OK, OK. I'm sorry. I mean, look at him. I thought he could just make knives and swords made of his bones. But look at him. He's covered by bones. I don't even see any hint of skin on him. It's not an armor of bones, or is that his skeleton?”
"The skin he's wearing, he already peeled that off."
"Peeled? So, the skin was just a disguise? And that bone is his true form?”
"Probably, yeah. Look out!" The older nun once again yelled when Cadill sent a bunch of spears towards them. This time the spears are too fast for them to be able to get away from the range of fire. So, Blanche used her weapon, she spun her weapon in front of them, making it a shield and all those spears that went through it became pulverized.
"Blanche, I didn't know you knew how to fight that well." Mary Jean complemented her. "You could have said so."
"Well, just so you know, I didn't know too, but I guess I'm a natural~" she sends her a smirk.
" Oh, really now?" Mary Jane sends her a smirk. “So much for someone who was just a crybaby before.”
“Oh, come on. That was all in the past.” She looked from her shoulder. "You better use your powers too then, Nunna. Look who is coming." She stated. Mary Jane looks at where she's looking at, only to find herself staring at a bunch of people who are coming towards them. "I would love to see you in action~" She cooed playfully.
"Uh this? These are nothing, but that man is dangerous, so be prepared, OK? But if you need my help, just call my name and I'll be there." She said before dashing off and finally facing the rest of the men.
And just like what the prophecy has been said, that night was bloody, their bodies were filled with blood, may it be from the living or from the dead. All of their anger built up all those days is now spilling off the battle. As if the dam behind their hearts is finally broken and the monster lurking inside is now rampaging. Destroying everything where their eyes laid upon.
The first bunch of people who are against Mary Jane are already killed one by one. But she didn't just kill them fast, she made sure that every one of them felt the pain she had been through by decapitating their limbs, pulling their skin off and their eyeballs. While she's slicing them off, she's murmuring the names of the children that have been taken away from her, either by force or by transaction.
“This is for Dimming… Milson… Raven… Istella… Cosmos… Colleen…”
She mumbled their names, each of them, because she remembered them by heart and she will not forget any one of them. And while she did it, she didn't even bother to wipe off the blood that's spewing from their mouths onto her face and drenching her with their red liquid. By the time that she's done reciting their names, her opponents were already shredded in pieces.
Her hands are aching, her body is trembling, her knees are starting to buckle and her whole being is being numb by the fatigue, but searing pain in her heart cannot be extinguished. Even though she's exhausted, it feels like everything that she has done as of now is not enough. It feels like the voices in her head are screaming for more. Wanting for more blood and screaming for justice, more justice. Even though she couldn’t move any muscle of her body, her soul is longing for something, a single thing that will suffice her thirst for justice- blood.”
“It’s not enough…” she whispered as she clawed the dirt underneath her fingers. She gritted her teeth, “Not enough… I want more. Their screams are begging for more.” Her body is not responding anymore to any of her commands, yet her drive and resolve is stronger.
And so, because of this, she started to wobble back towards Blanche driven by the force of hate. However, before she could finally go back an anchor pierced through her left thigh that shatters the muscles surrounding her bones rendering her unable to move. This earned her an ear-splitting scream that that will definitely shatter the eardrums of those who were near her.
She looked on her own leg only to find that it was shattered. She thought that she had already killed all of them, but then suddenly another bunch of men were just lingering around the corner hiding in the dark and waiting for the right moment to subdue her.
“You bastards…” she snarled lowly.
"Woah! I thought we were never going to have this moment!" The men that are getting closer to her cheered. As they finally caught their prey. “That was a long wait, I must say.”
“With that, I thought the battle would never end and I think that she will win in just a few seconds. But I never expected that she will annihilate most of the people here. Just look at them, they look just like shredded meats.”
Some of them left out a gross expression, one of them almost threw up from the sight.
“You f*cking bastards!” she roared and tried to attack them with her magic, but nothing happened. She tried to fight them off using her sword that is made of water, but unfortunately, she has no more water with her and she can't fight anyone without it. She can’t fight them all without her sword and now that she's wounded. But still she tried to claw the dirt under her throw at them. However, that single pile of dirt couldn't do anything to them, which only earned her a boisterous laughter.
"Look at here. A wounded kitten is trying to be brave."
“Calm down, will you. You don’t have to get that angry, this will be over before you know it.”
And that's when they began to kick her and punched her, hitting her all over her body. While spewing series profanities. They were hitting her on her on her head, on her stomach, everywhere you name it. They even kicked her tattered thigh and almost decapitate her wounded leg from the force. But she's not giving up. She still trying to survive. When one of them kicked her in the face, she immediately tightened her jaw on his feet and bite the skin off. It made the man to back away with a loud scream. As he cursed her over and over.
"You goddamn woman! F*cking b*tch!" He roared as he holds her feet away from her. And with the last time, Mary Jane tries to stand up using her only one foot. She had no choice but to fight them because she knew Blanche couldn't hold them all off.
"Look at her. She's trying to fight!"
"Don't be afraid. She got nothing. Look at her. She's wounded and she can't even stand!" Realk hollered to his men. "Go and attack her now!"
His men immediately obeyed his orders without any further question. But even though they attacked her with all their might Mary Jane was still able to protect herself even though she's barely even moving. She still proceeded to use her own magic; however, it took a toll on her body since she has no more water. She used her own blood as her weapon.
"What the hell was that? That was insane. What the hell is she thinking? She's using her own blood!" Men are starting to scramble away from here from fear. Not only because she's using her own bad, but because her devilish appearance.
"I don't want to be here anymore. I can't be here anymore!"
"She's a monster. She's a real monster!"
"Let's get out of here!"
Most of them have run away, but some of them are still standing in front of her trying to figure out how they can defeat her. "Where are you going, man? Come back here. We are just facing a single woman and woman running away? How coward can you get?"
Realk wasn't able to finish what he's saying to his man when all of a sudden, he felt a searing pain on his leg. And when he looked at it, he found out that Mary Jane has struck his leg with her blood, and the longer the sword is in his leg, the more he can feel that heat of the blood.
“Is her blood… boiling?” His eyes immediately shoot wide open making him a screaming mess. But that doesn't stop him from taking his revenge. He immediately sent his bubbles to be a huge fighting warrior to face her.
The bubble began to attack her, it throws her series of punches, and because of her wound she wasn’t able to fully defend herself and she just accepted everything that was thrown at her. Due to the force of each attack, she became a seed that is being buried alive.
“Die! Die! Die! Why can’t you just die already!” Realk roared as he saw her eyes didn’t even bat from all the assault and just kept staring at his soul. “Die, you woman!”
Just after those words left his mouth, nails of sharp pillars of blood punctured the bubbles and it immediately disappear in to thin air. “What in the actual hell… was that?”
