Cinderella surprised Sophie, Fiona and Lina with her appearance… and even more shocking is the energy source of this city… which is the blood of Cinderella and humans as well as animals.
Sophie: "Wait a second...and what does that have to do with Ms Valentine."
Cinderella: "I called her..if you want to know how I know her number…let's just say I forced one of your people…"
Fiona: "Please don't tell me you killed him."
Cinderella: "No don't worry...he is still alive...after all I got what I wanted which is a way to contact you…you use crows...what…anyway…I told her that this energy comes from my blood and that human and animal blood is used for it."
Sophie: "Why should that concern you."
Cinderella: "It is my blood and no one is allowed to use it however they want….."
Sophie: "And why us..why didn't you call the owls."
Cinderella: "Because you owe me something…because of you I am in deep trouble…I have no place to hide…with my blood I can regain my power.."
Sophie: "Woow...woow…..wait...what do you mean by that..do you really think we will help you regain your powers?"
Cinderella: "Would you rather let Zantanel get it…"
Fiona: "She would only get half.."
Cinderella: "Hmm….still I am strong.."
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "If that is the case you don't need our help."
They started to walk away.
Cinderella: "Stop..wait…...you can't do that…I need your help…"
Sophie: "Hh."
Cinderella: "Hey Fiona...remember…I helped you with your trauma…"
Fiona: "And I protected you from Zantanel."
Cinderella: "Ughh...wait...if…you help me…I will tell you…something very important about Zantanel!"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "What is it?"
Cinderella: "...The…curse…of Zantanel....."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "What do you know about it?"
Cinderella: "It is simple...this curse…of Zantanel…my brother Rudeus...death itself…had it…as a child…whether one wants it or not…people die by touch…but…it gets even worse."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Cinderella: "While my brother at least tries…to endure and stays in his wolf form…Zantanel…had no one…this curse only grows stronger through emotions…and in Zantanel it was much stronger…and one more thing…for some reason…she has another ability."
Sophie: "hmm?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cinderella: "Zantanel's mother…was an Arcanin!"
Sophie: "ugh."
Fiona: "Huh?!.."
Sophie: "That means…besides her curse she has another ability?"
Cinderella: "Yes…yes exactly.."
Fiona: "Damn…do you at least know what it is…?"
Cinderella: "Rifts…"
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Rifts.."
Cinderella: "She can teleport...and I do not mean her ashes that is her curse…her ashes only make her fast for a while…for teleportation…she needs something…"
Sophie: "Which is."
Cinderella: "An image…a picture…of the place.."
Sophie: "ohh.."
Fiona: "What a funny coincidence I can travel back in time as a spirit through images and she can teleport through images…"
Sophie: "That is all well and good…but that is not so bad."
Fiona: "Hmm..yes…maybe you are right."
Cinderella: "Think about it…that means if she has a picture of the place where you are she can just teleport…whether street or city…or kingdom…these rifts…she can open them I am not even sure if she can open them through other things…"
Sophie: "Huh..wait how do you know all this?"
Cinderella: "Hahhh…you know I can see through certain birds…well not exactly these birds…are birds of the moon…they are also called moon birds…they are often confused with pigeons which is good…that way I can observe people…and that is what I did with her…I saw it…but…she needed a picture for it whether she can use other things like the name of a place…I do not know…"
Sophie: "Hahhh…come on Fiona let's just help her…if Zantanel somehow gets her powers it will be really bad…I think Cinderella is not as strong as people say."
Fiona: "Hmph…I mean…for a death sibling who is supposedly so strong to seek help from humans…that is embarrassing."
Cinderella: "Ghhhh…you took half of my power."
Sophie: "Yes…yes…"
Fiona: "Fine…we will help you…but on one condition."
Cinderella: "Which is?"
Fiona: "If we help you…you might hurt innocent people again…and even if I act like I have no emotions…I do not want guilt so…I want you to tell us how you expect help from us even though we know you could hurt people with full power."
Cinderella: "ugh.."
Sophie: "That is true…"
Cinderella gritted her teeth..
Cinderella: "I need blood…should I starve!"
Sophie: "What no…no…oh dear.."
Fiona: "No one said that…for me you can kill criminals…I honestly have no problem with that."
Sophie: "Yes…you could also kill people who are very seriously sick…that way they die without pain."
Cinderella: "Uh?...but their blood is not pure."
Sophie: "Pure?"
Cinderella: "Of course…criminals have…impure blood…sick people…taste bitter…the same applies to people with addictions like drugs or sex…"
Sophie: "ohh…so Remy's blood tastes like shit."
Fiona: "Hmph...."
Cinderella: "Hey…it is not like I kill children…I have a codex.."
Sophie: "We know…we know that you do not kill children actually compared to Loki you have some honor.."
Cinderella: "Watch your tongue…do not talk like that about my sweet brother."
Fiona: "Ah…right Sophie…unlike the others she loves her siblings so do not insult them…"
Cinderella: "You can insult Rudeus or even Rumpelstiltskin because he is a pedophile asshole…but leave my other siblings out…especially Lilly!"
Sophie: "Lilly?..the dark bride.."
Fiona: "You do not need to worry about that actually I am a friend of Lilly…she is a really great woman."
Meanwhile
Lilly: "Ghhhh…shiver down my spine…I think several people are talking about me that is the only way I get this feeling.."
Child: "Mama…hehehe."
Lilly: "Oh hehehe…hello little one come with me to the castle…otherwise you will get cold."
Since the end of the war Lilly has adopted about two hundred orphan children whether girl or boy…and even the race does not matter to her.
Meanwhile
Cinderella: "I see…that…I did not know she never told me that…alright…if that is the case…and you are Lilly's friends…I forgive your disrespect towards me…"
Sophie: "How arrogant can one be to talk like that despite being desperate?"
Fiona: "That is Cinderella…what do you think why she is single."
Cinderella: "I heard that…hey Lilly is also single."
Sophie: "Probably because she looks like a child."
Cinderella: "...good point…so now will you help me or should I fuck myself in the knee?"
Sophie: "(sweat)…um…I did not know you use such words are you not…a bit…old fashioned."
Fiona: "She is trying to adapt…but unfortunately…not quite right…yes ok we will help you…only on the condition that you do not kill any innocent person."
Cinderella: "Hahhh…yes…yes ok…then I will feed on animal blood…they are sweeter than criminals and sick people."
Some minutes later
Cinderella: "Humans…I hate them…when I was still a normal woman I had to take care of my siblings and the other children…I worked as a prostitute…and often people there continued even when you begged them to stop…but…my siblings needed me…I gave them the money…bought them food and clothes…at some point when my brother lost control through his curse and destroyed the sentinels…he became death…I…became one of the death siblings we all had a lot of mana and were the first arcanins in Grimmhoth of course besides our parents…the first mages and arcanins and supernatural beings…at least vampires…come from my brother Ektov or as some call him Dracula…at first…I had no interest…I decided to continue living with humans…hmph back then I trusted and loved them…but…one day…the children I raised…the ones I sold my body for…and made myself a whore for…were the ones who tried to kill me…they wanted the money back then arcanins were hunted because people thought they were cursed…and then I also saw how these beings kept killing themselves…I began to hate them…I decided since then…to become the fear of humans!"
Splash splash
Cinderella: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha...hahahahahahahahahaha.....well look at that…why did no one tell me killing humans is so much fun…hahahahahahahahaha…hahahahahaha…I am Cinderella!…I am one of the death siblings…I stand for curses and corruption!…the moon gives me its light…he turns red…I will not suppress my arcane power this time…do you hear me…I will become your suffering and worries!!"
Since then Cinderella has placed many curses…as is known she is the one with the most curses on humans…
Cinderella: "And as if that was not enough…my little brother…whom I even raised…stabbed a dagger into my chest…because he did not want me near him…trust?..hehehe…that is only for idiots…I trust myself…I only love myself…I only respect myself and only I…am allowed to be happy…if it means I have to sacrifice thousands of people so that I smile…then so be it…even my other siblings…forgot me…Lilly no longer looked me in the eyes…and Loki as well…I…let my body…back then…be abused…completely for nothing…everything I sacrificed…was for nothing…but thanks to my arcane power…and because I am connected with flowers roots and the moon…I managed to regenerate my body and became a virgin again…still…my mind and my eyes have already seen all of that and this pain and trauma…will not let me go until one day I met someone…a mage…and I do not know why…but I think I do not need to mention what happened…9 months later…I was pregnant and gave birth to twins…Holle and Rapunzel…and…I was happy for the first time…but then…Rudeus appeared and took the children away…the mage I never saw again after that night…"
End of memory
Fiona: "Everything alright?"
Cinderella: "ugh…what happened?"
Fiona: "You fell asleep for a moment.."
Sophie: "Hmm."
Cinderella: "Really?…that is not good."
Fiona: "Why?"
Cinderella: "I fell asleep because my blood is being used again strongly…I can feel my blood…"
Fiona: "I see."
Cinderella: "Um…who put the blanket on me.."
Fiona: "I did…I thought you were cold.."
Cinderella: "Hahh…that was not necessary."
She stood up.
Cinderella: "Let us hurry…"
Fiona: "Hmmm…what exactly are you planning."
Cinderella: "Well…I do not like how a company profits from my blood…besides…I need it myself…"
Fiona: "Then…"
Lina: "Hmm."
They set off…
Cinderella: "Something is not right.."
Sophie: "Yes."
Fiona: "It is quiet…too quiet…"
Lina: "Huh?...look."
A robot stood there…but when they looked at it it woke up.
Treyt: "I will not retreat…because I know that mother Cinderella…protects us!"
He pulled out his weapon and suddenly started shooting.
Sophie: "Huh!"
Fiona: "Take cover!"
Lina: "Huh."
They took cover…
Sophie: "What are you doing take cover."
Cinderella: "Relax…he cannot kill me…you are annoying!"
She aimed with her hand and many blood strikes hit him.
Dong
Cinderella: "What!"
Treyt: "Nothing…can hurt me…as long as the blood of mother…is on my side…"
Cinderella: "I cannot feed by giving birth to a tin can…"
He started shooting again.
Sophie: "Take cover!"
She pulled Cinderella down.
Sophie: "Do not forget you only have half your power…"
Cinderella: "This thing…called me mother…people here call me mother?…"
Fiona: "You built the city why are you so surprised."
Cinderella: "Well…it has been a long time…"
Sophie: "Ok whatever what do we do."
Lina: "Hahh…it shoots so much at once."
Fiona: "Hmmm…there must be something…"
Sophie: "Look there…a lot of blood in the glass on its back that is how it works…we have to shoot that and that is it.."
Fiona: "Hmm…I am not good at shooting…Lina can you do it."
Lina: "Yes."
She took out a sniper rifle
Sophie: "Good…then we distract it."
Fiona: "Mhm."
Sophie: "Yoohoo!..hello tin can!"
Treyt: "Your words do not matter…because I hear the humming of the song of my mother!"
Bang bang bang
Sophie: "arghh.."
She went into cover at the last second.
Cinderella: "What song I have never sung in my life.."
Sophie: "I…think he meant it metaphorically…"
Fiona: "Alright it is my turn I go there ok."
She ran quickly he started shooting at her…but she jumped behind a phone booth at the last second.
Fiona: "Ughh…"
She looked up a light could be seen it was the sniper scope Lina was ready..
Lina: "Haahhh…ok!"
Bang
Slow motion
The bullet hit the glass.
Splash
Treyt: "Ghhh."
Bzzzz
He fell to the ground.
Cinderella: "Amazing she hit it."
Sophie: "Yes…Lina!"
Lina: "Hahhh."
Lina came down
Sophie: "That was great."
Fiona: "Hahh good job.."
Lina: "Huh..Miss Fiona..you were hit in the arm."
Fiona: "That is not so bad…it did not hurt as much as I thought hmm."
Cinderella went to the robot then to the blood…she stretched out her hand and the blood began to float and then flowed into her veins.
Cinderella: "ahhhhhh…that feels good."
Sophie: "Pervert."
Fiona: "What an indecent woman."
Cinderella: "Shut up…"
Sophie: "Still why is no one here."
Cinderella: "Oh…I remember…in the evening…it is like this…no one is allowed to be awake…in the evening…of course it is almost always night in Grimmhoth."
Sophie: "And you tell us that only now."
Cinderella: "I just got that information through the blood…so…"
Sophie: "But why?.."
Lina: "From what time exactly."
Cinderella: "Hmmm…from the moment the moon turns from white to blue…if the moon is white it has a strong light and it is then morning evening…if it is blue that means it is evening."
Sophie: "I see…that means…we have to wait until it turns white."
Cinderella: "Wait?…that is not what we said…we better do it now."
Fiona: "Of course…"
Sophie: "Fiona…do not tell me you are interested now too."
Fiona: "In fact I now have a strong interest in this place.."
Cinderella: "Hmmm."
