"Wow..... Wow...."
"I've actually missed you Javan...."
Javan slowly rolled out of bed, "Me too"
"I'm sorry, I totally flanked on something"
"Do you... have to leave?"
"I'm sorry, Yes. I got called in for an extra shift earlier today and forgot entirely"
"I'll be back for dinner and the party, but please enjoy yourself"
"Oh... Okay...." Chasity replied, looking tired.
She closed her eyes and rolled onto her side.
"I'm... happy I guess...." she said to herself before falling asleep.
As Javan exited the room he looked back at her.
Then shut the door and departed the house.
A teenage girl sat inside the drivers seat of the ice cream truck. Her earphones were in and couldn't hear anything.
The man in the mask breathed heavily.
She looked over and slid to the passengers side window. "Can I help you? If you want something you should head farther back"
The man tilted his head and then raised the axe.
The girl screamed as the man hacked her to death, spewing blood all over the inside of the truck.
He backed away and looked at her, dying in her own blood. He breathed heavily once again.
He headed to the back of the truck and looked around.
He clutched his axe tightly.
Leefah rubbed her sore back.
"Can we take a break? We've been at this for almost an hour and I'm starving"
Mrs. Nyx sighed, "Fine dear..."
"Go on inside, I'll go make some lunch. It's about time for it anyways"
Leefah sighed with relief, "SWEET, thank you!"
Tophet looked up and was surprised to see her coming.
"F*ck, I should have left earlier"
"I'll go on through the back"
"Crap, my love! Why didn't you warn me she was coming?!" Tophet whispered into her earring.
"Right my dear, sorry!" Joker apologized.
Mrs. Nyx turned the corner, "Hello? Did I hear someone talking?"
Tophet shot her umbrella into the air and took off.
"Huh..... Guess I'm getting old...."
Mrs. Nyx reached the top of the stairs, "Oh who am I kidding... I'm still young and flawless"
The trees rustled around her.
"Looks like a storm is heading in... a bad one at that"
She headed inside and looked around.
"Now then, what do we have to work with?"
"You did what?" both Atlas and CHAD asked.
"Mrs. Nyx trained me! She's a witch too!"
"ooooh you should have been there, it was awesome... and scary... BUT WHO CARES!" Leefah said excitedly.
"That's awesome! Did you learn any new spells?"
"I really don't like it here, I'm getting the worst vibe"
"And CHAD, don't encourage her. I'm not joking with you now, I'm serious"
"Now you're just acting like those superhero chicks we met downtown."
"Lighten up Atlas, Don't make me force you..."
"You... wouldn't.... dare..."
"I think we both know I would...."
"I order you to quit acting like...."
Atlas interrupted her, "ALRIGHT! FINE!... Suit yourself"
"I only wish I could be ordered to relax... that'd be the best order ever"
"I can always do that too. CHAD I order you to relax"
"I honestly never understand you sometimes"
"I know, I know... I'm crazy.... Let's watch some tv"
"Have you seen Chasity at all?"
"I think I saw Javan leaving, so they must be done... you know...."
"On my way in here I went to find them, She's taking a nap"
"I'm sure being excited about this trip tired her out"
Leefah flipped on the tv.
"BREAKING NEWS!!
"Wow.... it's the same here too..."
"I wonder where he went..."
"Well his work schedule was updated as he was leaving, Guess he had to work"
"This just in folks!"
"A local girl was just found moments ago, slaughtered inside an ice cream truck near the local theater!"
"Holy cow!.... That's right down the street"
"I wonder what happened..."
"If those superheroes protect the town from evil, how come they didn't stop the one who did it?"
"Allegedly, the triplets are not available for questioning since they are busy with another case, but we do believe we know the culprit"
"The man in the mask who haunts Midnight Hollow.... Who roams the darkness with an axe and hockey mask!"
"No way!"
"That's such a load of crap"
Leefah flipped the tv off.
"What?.. Why did you do that?"
"We need to go, now!"
"What why? I thought you wanted me to relax?"
Leefah began to stand up, "I have work to do but I'm not going alone"
"So wait.... The story you were covering..."
"It's about the man in the mask isn't it!"
Leefah sighed, "Yeah.... I was going to tell you guys after I was done but I need to get to work now and I don't wanna go alone"
"Do you you want me to go too?"
"No no, you stay here..."
"So... did the station literally send you here to risk your life?"
"What do you know about the man in the mask right now?"
Leefah gripped her hands into a fist.
"I know he targets young women.... he ambushes them when they least expect it..."
"And I know I'm a candidate for him..."
"So they sent you... to draw him out..."
"What jerks...."
Leefah scratched her arm nervously.
"I know... I should have told you... and of course Chasity... but she doesn't need to worry right now"
Atlas sighed, "Fine, let's get going then"
"Yeah, you two go. I'll stay here and distract Chasity"
"Really? Awesome!"
"Thank you both so much, If we finish this fast then Chasity never has to know"
"If the murder just happened, then he should still be in town and I might be able to track him down"
"The party isn't for a few more hours so we should be good. You two get going"
Joker looked at his phone, "It seems they are heading out. Only the demon and the girl though. Good work planting that camera my dear"
"I try... my love.... But why are they leaving"
"Something about a murder, I think she's writing a story on it"
"My god she is going to be so successful in life..."
"Stop it, you're making me jealous"
"Now now Ezra, do me a favor... my love... I want you to stay here"
"To do what exactly?"
"What about me my dear?"
"We are going after the demon and the girl"
"You miss Reagan will infiltrate and kill the fairy and robot!"
"Me and my love will take care of the demon and then take the girl back to master Pierre! MWAH HA HA HA!"
Ezra raised her fists, "My body is so ready for this"
"Are you sure she can handle that old woman, a robot, and fairy all at once"
"She will if she wants to get paid"
"I will not fail you!"
"ugh, fine my dear. Let's get going"
"Of course, Now where were the demon and girl heading... my love?"
"Only down the street... "
"Right then..."
"Let's move out... my love..."
"My dear you are gorgeous"
"Good luck then"
"Well... guess I'll wait..."
Ezra turned and peered back at the house just as the front door opened.
"C'mon Atlas! We need to hurry, It's going to rain I think!"
Ezra looked up at the cloudy sky, "She's right... AH! Focus... but.... I feel bad..."
"Atlas did you tell Mrs. Nyx too?"
"She might get worried if I'm gone"
"I think she could care less, but she wasn't there"
Leefah stopped and looked at the road.
"I... I...."
"What is it?"
"I'm gonna use my broom!!"
Atlas rolled his eyes, "I really don't want us out in the rain. It's more laundry for me to handle"
Leefah looked down the road, "Well... we can always walk..."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND!"
"I'll take my broom"
"Awesome, now then I'll just" Atlas stopped.
Leefah handed him her mini hover board.
"You use that for now, It'll be faster than you running"
Leefah waved her wand and summoned her broom.
"Just don't crash it..."
"I promise! I'll meet ya there!"
Leefah summoned her magic and her broom started spewing out pink smoke.
"Here we go!"
Atlas sighed and stumbled onto the hover-board
.
Leefah ran towards the ice cream truck.
"That looks like the one, I can't believe I over shot it"
Leefah looked inside and frowned.
"Hey! Is that it?!"
"ugh.... no..."
Leefah kicked the truck, "It's entirely cleaned. If the girl was killed in here then the police must have cleared it out"
Atlas slowed down but fell off his hover-board
"Piece of crap!..." He looked at Leefah.
"Well then the best thing to get some answers is to head for the police department.
"It should be just down the road as well"
"Alright fine but let's walk"
"HELL NO! WE RUNNING!"
"WAIT ATLAS!!"
"Seems they're on the move again"
"Only possible place they could be going is the police department. We might be able to...."
Atlas got farther and farther from Leefah.
Leefah panted, "Atlas... At...Las...."
She completely stopped and caught her breath.
"Great... I'm never gonna catch up to him..." Leefah looked to the left and saw a back alleyway.
She grinned, "Well well, If I win the race then that should put him in his place"
Leefah stopped.
"Looks like a little fence"
Leefah hopped over it quickly.
"I'm gonna loose if I don't hurry!" she said before stopping.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!!"
Leefah looked up, "Hello? Is someone there?"
Tophet shot down from the roof and landed.
She shook her head, "That... was a long fall...."
Tophet stood up elegantly, shaking off her pain. "Hello my ENEMY"
"Enemy?... Really?"
"I don't have time for this Tophet, I need to go"
"No! You aren't going anywhere, we are taking you with us"
Joker landed off the roof as well.
"Now dear, come with us"
"Be peaceful and we won't hurt you"
"Um, no my love, I'm painting her f*cking red after she put me to sleep and sh*t!"
Leefah turned and looked them both.
"Can you not right now! I'm in a hurry!"
Joker looked at her, "Don't make us use force"
Tophet rolled her eyes, "Whatever, Just come with us"
Leefah glared at him, "I swear you two are annoying!"
"That's rude! We have emotions and you just stomped on them with your really fashionable boots!"
Leefah grabbed her wand.
"I don't at all intend to go with you though!"
Joker lowered his hands.
"So be it!!"
Leefah began drawing a magic circle.
Joker gathered a ball of light between his hands.
"Card storm!"
He raised the ball and it spurt out into cards, which turned and headed straight at Leefah.
"Comet Strike!"
The circle caved in and created a ball that shot into the air at the cards.
The green ball smashed into the cards and disintegrated them
"Lucky shot... But can you do that again?"
"Wow... He actually pulled off an attack..."
"Guess they got stronger, but so have I!"
Leefah began releasing a pink gas from her wand.
"Smoke screen!" Leefah shouted, camouflaging herself.
"That won't work!"
"You will be painted red for that my enemy!
Tophet gripped her umbrella and shot at her
Joker levitated off the ground and cleared away the smoke screen, but as he did, he became surrounded by little comet shots and barely dodged them.
"You're pretty good at dodging!" Leefah taunted, unaware of Tophet heading for her.
"I'm not dodging you fool"
'I'm distracting!'
"I got her my love!" Tophet shouted, raising her umbrella.
Atlas descended from the sky this time and slammed against her umbrella with his sword.
"Excuse me, but you aren't attacking my master are you?"
Tophet glared, "You again..."
Atlas kept her from moving.
"I'm afraid you aren't touching my master, or leaving here alive"
The man in the masked paused for a moment.
He looked towards the sound of commotion.
He breathed heavily into his mask.
He gripped onto the axe and headed towards the fight.
