Deadly Second Chances by Rob Field Perdition Hell Weaver sat at the edge of the fountain and stared into its waters to see events unfold throughout the universe. Even though she continued to feel anger over her imprisonment and perdition, she found irony in the fountain itself. It was falling into

2:19 the infinity corps before me, along with the damaged reality sphere that began my imprisonment in this infernal dimension. She commanded the image to display of the sapphireic speedster known as Blue Girl. You thwarted my plans of conquering the multiverse so many years ago and caused my imprisonment. She tightened her fists. I believe you understand that I shall not remain here for all eternity, and when I am free once more, you and I shall have a most serious discussion. Indeed, hell Weaver, though imprisoned, could still leave perdition in the form of an astral projection to be able to speak with her disciples or to those who would summon her upon discovering one of her bibles. Unfortunately, she couldn't remain outside perdition for long periods of time.

3:27 Though hell Weaver was a goddess with unlimited power, she herself was not above the laws governing her imprisonment. When she felt depleted, she would return to her body and rest to allow her energies to peque again. Hell Weaver always brightened up upon seeing her daughter. Sin approached her mother with what appeared to be an ancient tome in her hands. Unlike her mother, Sin was not bound and imprisoned within perdition and could come and go as she pleased.

4:11 Greeting's mom, Sin said, placing the book next to the Infinity core, my baby. Hell Weaver replied and embraced Sin. After their hug. Sin glared at her mother with excitement. I have found it, mom. This is the last volume written by Iomeir Tabon himself. Within these very pages is the key to your release. Sin sat and opened the tomb to the exact page. It's called the Second Chance Compact.

4:52 Read for yourself. Hell Weaver eagerly yet patiently sat and read the pages, ex blaming the Second Chance Compact. When she finished, she placed her hand on the side of Sin's face and caressed her. From the time I accepted you and recreated you to be my natural daughter, you have done nothing but love and obey me. To day. You have indeed proven your love. Sin lowered herself to one knee, took her mother's hand, and cried, I do love you eternally and unconditionally. I would give my very life for you. You showed me how much you loved me, or you wouldn't have remade me to be your true daughter.

5:53 Your will shall always be mine. I will see you free to conquer the multiverse. Hell Weaver brushed Sin's tears away from one eye. Indeed, rise and experience your find with me. Sin obeyed and again sat beside hell Weaver at the Infinity Corps. Then she explained the second Chance compact to Sin in simple terms, I must be generous during this experience and offer up to five beings the opportunity to alter the course of their current existences for better.

6:44 Should any of them succeed in doing so, then I cannot lay claim to their souls whatsoever. Only upon their failures may I reserve them. I may only claim the souls should three out of the five beings fail to change their lives for the better. Only then shall I be restored to where I may finally leave perdition. What is more, I cannot interfere in any way. I may merely offer the beings the opportunity and place them wherever it is they wish to go back within their pasts?

7:35 Should they accept? Sin smiled sinisterly, you have me to tip the balance in your favor. Hell Weaver gave Sin a motherly smile. No, my daughter, the compact specifically states against outside interfering rance. I have tried to teach you that it is better to follow the rules. You may find that it benefits you more often than not. Sin became anxious. Mother, Why do you not just take for yourself.

8:20 You are a goddess. You don't have to follow the rules. Not you, She pointed to the tone. Besides, if somehow you were to fail to gain your three souls, you can't use the second chance compact again. You only get one opportunity. Hell Weaver put a. Comforting hand on the side of her daughter's face. You speak true of my power, Sin. However, my godly existence would become ridden with boredom if I were to just take what I wish. No, there must be rules. They are what make existence most interesting. I cannot stress the importance of following rules enough. Sin seemed disappointed. I understand your feelings, baby, I know that I have much to teach.

9:25 You. Listen to your mother and obey. Sin nodded, Once we follow the rules. Confident they were both on the same page, hell Weaver trusted Sin. Let us take those souls from your former mortal world, shall we Sin immediately became excited and took her mother's hands. Strickfield, Mom, I have never tasted so many corrupt souls as within that village. You shall easily find your three there. Hell Weaver squeezed her hands back.

10:12 Time to play. Remember there can be no interference whatsoever. Still, there's always the chance that I may lose. This is why you must continue with your current quest. I sense your distress, but you shall learn. You are merely a youngling, and I shall teach you everything I know so that you may understand. Sin nodded. Once, I shall listen and obey always.

10:53 Hell Weaver let go of her hands and turned her attention to the Infinity Core. Soon the village of Strickfield, Ohio appeared. As they looked over the village, hell Weaver seemed pleased. Well, Sin, I shall offer up to five Strickfield inhabitants the opportunity to change their fates. She soon caught sight of one particular woman. I shall begin with her sin. Gasped, then smiled. I can see her fate for all the males of her world. Ever since she was violated and infected with the disease she carries, she gains her revenge by freely offering her body to any man foolhardy enough.

11:50 To accept it. Her disease has mutated into a new, horrible strain that kills the men whom she lays with within five mortal days. It is her life's purpose, even defying death and her own God, to eradicate every mortal man from Earth. She will never die or relent otherwise. She is known as aides. Mary hell Weaver nodded once, then I shall go to her first sin. Watched as hell Weaver glowed with power before her astral projection left her body and flew upward.

12:39 Soon hell Weaver would make her first offer to a revenant. Strickfield present day, Mary Ann Wright watched outside the first floor window of a Strickfield University fraternity house as one of her latest male conquests was panicking after reading her parting gift to him. The mirror had a message written in lipstick, Welcome to the world. Of AIDS. The male student seemed so high and mighty. Upon picking Mary up at Shaker's and taking her back to his room, she willingly fulfilled his every sexual fantasy. After he fell asleep, she left his room and seduced other members of the fraternity.

13:41 Mary walked away from the house and laughed at knowing she had killed four fraternity. Brothers in one night. Though they weren't dead just yet, they were well on their way. Tomorrow they might still be feeling okay day two, they would become sick. With each passing day, the sickness would grow worse. They would look like zombies in advanced stages of decay from the walking dead. Once her unique strain of AIDS finished with them, no later than the fifth day, they would be dead and there was no cure or treatment. Mary walked through an open area. At times she would feel fits of hatred, Hatred for being raped that night, hatred at God for allowing men to always have their way with women. Mary fell to her knees, tightened her fists, and screamed upward to God, I hate you.

14:59 Mary. He then looked up again. I will kill every male you've created, all of them. I will never die until the last one does. Mary soon realized she wasn't alone and got back on her feet. She turned and saw hell Weaver standing before her. Did God send you to punish me? Mary spat, go ahead, I'll never regret killing his vile creations, called men. I am not of this god that you speak of, Mary Ann right, but I am a goddess. Perhaps we may speak that I may offer you a second chance, aids. Mary marched right up to hell Weaver. Don't when you fuck with me. Hell Weaver wasn't the slightest bit perturbed, Not at all. I have the power to grant you the opportunity to change your life for the better. This does not have to be your life. Mary still heaved, Yeah, like you can cure me. The second chance that I offer you is not for me to cure you, but for you to

16:32 choose a point in your past where I shall place you. From there, you shall relive your life. You may ultimately choose a new path that will not lead you to your current one. Mary seemed amused. What's the catch. She shook her head quickly and pointed at hell Weaver. There is no deal. You're in my way. I will not be stopped. All of God's men shall die. Mary attempted to fight hell Weaver, but the goddess seized her wrist and easily brought her to her knees. You are foolish to challenge me, revenant, hell Weaver said calmly, Now, do you wish to accept my offer for a second chance on your life or not think about it? You would not have to live with this existence. You could be a normal woman, free to enjoy your life the way you long to do so again. You could be free of your disease forever. Mary was still angry, but she slowly subsided. And what do you get if I fail?

17:59 I'm not say stupid? And do I get to take my current brain back with me to answer your questions? I gain your soul, which I would only claim upon seizing two more out of the five beings. I would offer a second chance too. You only get one opportunity. If you say no, then I shall leave you alone with yourself, and you would certainly retain your present knowledge upon being placed at the point in your history where you would choose I accept, Mary stated, without further hesitation.

18:45 Hell Weaver eased Mary back to her feet. Then our bargain is sealed. Consider it carefully. What point in your past shall I place you again? Married? Didn't hesitate? Put me on the exact day I was raped. From there, I'll leave Strickfield University, then, Aids Mary will never be born. Consider it done, Mary Anne Wright, But be warned. You may think that you have escaped your fate, only to find yourself returned to it. Five years ago, Mary Anne Wright gasped upon finding herself brought back exactly where she had asked hell Weaver to place her. She felt a strange sensation on her hand and saw the blankets covering her. She also felt she was wearing an oversized T shirt under those covers. Most of all, though, she felt her powerful rage was completely gone. She touched her breast area and felt her enhancements were no longer there.

20:13 She truly was human again and normal. Hell Weaver really did it. I can leave here right now and live my life, Mary thought, I won't ever become Aids Mary. She was so excited that she began planning the rest of her life. Then she remembered how special this day was. When she realized someone's arms were gently wrapped around her. Morning Raymond Burr said softly in her ear. Suddenly Mary became scared. She quickly turned out of his arms and got out of bed. What's wrong, Annie, Raymond asked. She knew that every minute she remained at Strickfield University was a minute closer to becoming Aids Mary. Again, she had her second chance and knew she had to escape and fast.

21:20 Mary faced Raymond, get dressed, you have to go. Raymond saw how scared she was and went to her. When he wrapped gentle arms around Mary, her long dead feelings of love returned. She also remembered that he was her first victim on her dark path to becoming AIDS Mary. Suddenly, she remembered that she herself was not the first. Mary Richter was the original AIDS Mary, a high school girl who had been raped by Raymond's fraternity Delta Omega Kappa.

22:06 Mary Ann Wright herself would become something far worse. Suddenly, Mary sank to her knees and began sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't want to become that dark revenant who slept with men for the sake of vengeance. She wanted to live. Raymond lowered himself and held her honey what's wrong? Mary held him tight and cried. As much as she wanted to escape Strickfield and never look back, she also had her humanity again, even though she knew her dark path still existed. She just couldn't leave Mary Richter to the horrible fate that awaited her. I must save Mary Richter.

23:01 I can't let that poor girl get raped by Raymond's fraternity. Then she remembered everything regarding Raymond and collected herself before looking into his face. Honey, what's wrong? Raymond asked her again, Gentler, Now Raymond wouldn't be with the fraternity when the horrible event happened. He would be taking a make up exam. Still, she had to try and talk to him. I need your help, Mary said, you can count on me, Raymond assured her. Now what's wrong? Mary explained what would soon happen.

23:49 Raymond's fraternity brothers would go out drinking tonight. They would find a drunk Mary Richter at Shaker's and assume she was another college girl. Richter's judgment was impaired when she allowed the boys to bring her back to the fraternity house. However, her judgment wouldn't be impaired enough for what the brothers had in mind. Richtor would try fighting them, but ultimately they would rape her. Mary further explained that she herself would leave the apartment they were currently in to come pick him up after he finished his exam. As she would pass the Delta Omega Kappa house, she would hear the commotion and investigate. When the brothers would discover her, she would flee to get help. She wasn't a very fast runner and would be caught. She would be brought back to the fraternity house, where the brothers would rape both girls. We'll both be given aids tonight, Mary finished.

25:01 Mary Richter would die shortly after you stopped her murder spree. As for me, you're serious, Raymond asked, giving her a funny look. You're talking about things that haven't happened yet. Mary took his hands in hers. I'm deadly serious, she squeezed his hands. Help me, Raymond, help me stop this horrible thing from happening. I'm begging you. I'm putting my own life on the line just staying here, but I will stop this from happening. Raymond still looked confused. I don't get it, Annie, How can you know that Mary became upset and shot to her feet. Annie, come on, Raymond said, impatiently, getting up to face her. Do you even hear what you're saying? You're acting like you can see the future. Listen to me, Mary yelled. She explained how she knew of the events, having already experienced them in her past life. She also explained her pact with hell Weaver. In my former life, I started off as a vengeful serial killer, Raymond, Mary emphasized. Then I was killed myself and I returned as a vengeful revenant. If

26:35 I don't stop tonight from happening, Mary Richter will die, I myself will become AIDS Mary, and be doomed to walk the planet until every last man. Is dead. Oh Jesus, Raymond scoffed. Mary put a finger in his face. You become my first victim, Raymond. When I got AIDS, it mutated in to a very very deadly strain, one that kills you in just five days. You can't make this up, she backed away. You don't want to help me, fine, just get out. I'm not wasting any more time with you.

27:16 Go take your makeup test. Raymond groaned. Come on, Annie, don't put this wall between us. Help me stop your brothers. Then she snapped, forget the exam and help me. He sighed, I already postponed my exam once. If I missed the makeup again, that's a good chunk of my grade that could impact my scholarship. I have to take the exam. Mary was so upset she took only a few long strides to open her door. Get dressed, Go take your goddamn exam, She raised her finger. Once you leave, that's it.

28:01 We're over, and I mean over, she pointed to him. It's your fellow frat boys that have been gang raping girls on campus and that stops tonight. You're either with me or against me, Raymond Burr, choose now. Raymond shook his head slowly. I can't miss that exam. Annie, I'm sorry, so am I, Mary replied. Get out. Raymond got dressed, then he left her apartment. Mary slammed the door and locked it. She moved to a recliner and sat. She tightened her fists and took deep breaths to calm herself, knowing she was on her own. How do I find you, Mary Richter, she groaned, Where did those frat bastards find you, then, she remembered. She quickly got up and went to take a shower. She knew Shakers wouldn't open until four pm.

29:13 When she finished her shower, she had an idea. She called Strickfield High School and Strickfield Academy. Neither institution had Mary Richter as a student. Shit Richter would just have to come in from out of town. Mary muttered, I'll be on the phone all day trying to find the right high school. No, I have to go to Shakers tonight. Later, Mary was on her way to the University Drive parking lot, where her car was located. Just then, she was approached by another girl, Annie. What's going on? Delilah Warren from the Alpha Delta Kappa sorority asked going to Shakers? Mary answered, you look upset? What's wrong? Delilah probed, I don't want to talk about it. Mary muttered. Delilah looked down. Come on, Annie, you can talk to me Raymond does. Mary remembered Delilah's organization was a sister sorority to Raymond's fraternity. Mary had hung out with Delilah in the past and never had problems with her. She sighed, okay, listen to me. Very carefully,

30:48 Mary explained the situation without revealing her deal with hell Weaver or how she was from the future. She did exaggerate that the brothers were exclusively targeting Mary Richter to get back at her older brother, who was a big shot with a rival fraternity. We have to stop them before they find Mary Richter. She doesn't need to be a part of this. Can you help me, Delilah sighed herself. It never fails. Those idiots can never keep their dicks in their pants. As always, we have to look out for our brothers and keep them out of trouble. Okay, Annie, let's go to Shakers. The girls got into Mary's car.

31:35 From there, she drove them to Shakers. They soon pulled into the parking lot and into a spot. The girls got out and went inside. For a Wednesday night, Shakers was a little more packed than usual. Mary walked around, looking desperately for the younger girl she wanted to save. At first, she couldn't find her. Then, as if at just the right moment, Mary Richter walked in the main entrance. She was dressed in very revealing clothing. She could have been mistaken for a prostitute. From there, she headed straight to the bar. As Mary moved to her, she saw the young girl giving her fake ID to the bartender.

32:29 Clearly it was good enough, as he gave it back to her and asked for her drink order. Mary Ann Wright and Delilah sat on either side of her. Mary Richter smiled at having the company. Can I get you ladies anything, she asked giddaly, then giggled. What brings you here? Mary asked casually. Richter rolled her eyes and slurred. My parents just had another huge fight at it home. I swear it's the same shit. Then mom lost her shit and slapped me before I left for school. Screw her.

33:09 I didn't even go to school. Now I'm just gonna sit here and get really shit faced. Maybe when I get back home, I'll puke in mom's face for hitting me. Mary realized she hadn't thought her plan through enough. With Richter's slurs, she could smell both alcohol and weed on the girl and knew she had already gotten a head start. Then there was the flask she saw inside her purse. As Richter was about to give the bartender her order, Mary raised her finger. We'll call you over when we're ready. The bartender nodded and left the three of them alone.

33:52 Mary wasted no time. You need to come with us right now. If you don't, you're going to She wished she hadn't worded it that way. Die, what you're talking about? Richter slurred and started raising her hand for the bartender. Mary stopped her when she had a new plan. Let's go to my place. I got plenty of party favors for us to get wasted on. What do you say, Richter hiccuped and belched loudly. But we're already here. I want to get shit faced right now. Mary's stomach dropped when she saw the Delta Omega Kappa brothers entering shakers.

34:43 She could waste no more time. Come on, babe, We're going back to my place, Mary stated, grabbing Richter's arm. The smaller girl belched again, Well long as long as you got booze. When the three females were about to exit, they were suddenly blocked by the fraternity brothers. They all looked drunk themselves. Hey babes, you want to come back to our house at the university, James Clark asked, Yeah, we can really party it up. Marv Vernon added, we got plenty of libations, including a couple kegs. We're not interested, Mary quickly said. The brothers refused to step aside. When a manager appeared and told them to clear the way, the girls quickly escaped outside. It didn't take long for the brothers to pursue them. Then one of them grabbed Mary's arm. We don't take no for no answer. A beefy guy named Carl Porter slurred, no means no asshole.

35:57 Mary fired back, Now get out of my face before No, the hell with this. I think I'll call the police and report your fraternity for rape. That's right, how many girls have you brought back to your frat house had assaulted you? Bastards? Even though they were all in some degree of drunkenness, the brothers understood Mary well enough to know that she knew about them. She was in fact just bluffing, but seeing their looks made her realize they really had gang raped other girls prior, possibly in their fraternity house. Then she started to wonder if Raymond had known about the rapes himself all along. Come on, babe, Mary said, continuing to guide Richter to her car. When they reached it, Delilah climbed in back. Mary put Richter in the passenger side and closed her door. When Mary was in the driver's seat, she pulled her own door closed.

37:05 You absolutely sure those guys gang raped other girls, Delilah inquired. Didn't you see the looks on their faces? Mary reminded her. I'm reporting them when we're far enough away. Who knows how many girls they violated gave that disease to. Given the chance, they'd have done the same thing to Mary. Here. This stops here and now. As Mary was about to start the car, she felt a sudden prick on the back of her neck. No, Annie, I don't think so, Delilah countered. Mary also saw Delilah inject Richter as she began to feel sleepy.

37:54 What are you are you doing? Mary slowly, but she wouldn't hear Delilah's answer, as the shots rendered her and Mary Richter both unconscious Shortly after a few hours later, Mary yawned as she fought to open her eyes. Soon she sat up as the drug Delilah injected her with finished wearing off. She recognized the all too familiar basement and knew this was the Delta Omega Kappa House. Suddenly Another light came on just beside her to reveal Delilah Warren, other Alpha Delta Kappa sorority girls, and a majority of the Delta Omega Kappa fraternity. Glad you're awake, Annie, Delilah said in a sinister voice. What the hell are you doing? Mary demanded. Now, Delilah and her sorority were smiling sinister smiles. Weren't you listening earlier when I said our sorority looks out for our fraternity brothers.

39:15 In fact, both our organizations look out for each other, a most beneficial coexistence if I do say so. Mary and Wright shot to her feet and tightened her fists. Mary Richter was moaning as she woke up herself. Soon she was standing up. Don't you understand anything, Mary yelled at Delilah. Then she pointed to the brothers. They are piece of shit rapists. Delilah shrugged. Yeah, and how long will the world continue revolving? It's always going to be about dominating. Why do you think our fraternities and sororities are strong across this country's universities? You say these guys are rapists. She folded her arms in front of her Can you prove it. I don't think so. Another sorority girl sang, especially when you two are gonna satisfy our boys.

40:24 A third girl added when Mary didn't see Raymond Burr among them, she knew now that he truly wasn't aware of what his fellow fraternity brothers were doing. They had kept Raymond in the dark since he first pledged and then joined the frat. Mary Wright suddenly saw a metal pipe and swiped it up with her hands. She swung and caught one of the girls to knock her down. Mary Richter also found a weapon and came to her savior's side. Mary Wright remembered from her past life that the high school girl wasn't that inebriated when they were both raped in her previous time line. However, in spite of their will to fight, the number's game proved too much for them. Delilah snuck up behind Mary right and cracked her on the back of the head with a board, making her drop her metal pipe to the ground. Soon Mary was being held down by two of the fraternity brothers.

41:34 Mary felt despair when Richter was soon overpowered. She tried to fight and break free before one of the brothers punched her in the face. When Richter wouldn't go down, a nerdy looking sorority girl approached her and grabbed her when she broke free again. Oh, ain't you a fighter. Here's something some of us made in chem lab just for you, the nerd purred as she injected Richter's neck with a syringe containing a chalky colored liquid. She remembered this was likely the agent that was used to kill her before. After the nerdy girl let go of Richter, they all watched as the high school girl dropped to the floor and convulsed heavily. Soon Mary Richter stopped moving.

42:27 Forever. You monsters, Mary yelled, You're all monsters. Delilah pointed to Mary as she told the fraternity brothers her boyfriend Raymond is one of you. If you don't keep Annie here quiet for good, she'll tell him who's to say you won't turn against you guys. She raised a second syringe. After you boys have your fun with Annie here, then I'll inject her. Then you will help your sorority sisters clean up your mess again. Another sister came up next to Delilah. You guys gotta be more careful. The police have been looking around here too much lately. There's only going to be so many more cover ups we can do for you, especially when you guys get drunk and can't keep your dicks in your pants. Mary screamed and fought ferociously to break free. Though Mary Richter had been murdered by injection, she would still be spared from her horrible fate of getting raped and becoming the first Aid's Mary. Unfortunately, for Mary Ann Wright, the same would not be said for her. Mary was beaten and raped repeatedly by the fraternity.

43:50 As the sorority girls watched. Mary cried at knowing she would possibly lose her soul to hell Weaverly, she became increasingly angry she had risked her second chance to try and save Mary Richter, only to learn that her choices hadn't really made much of a difference at all. She wanted to lash out and blame hell Weaver for stacking the deck against her, but she knew deep down that she had made her own choices. She also knew she had been infected with her disease again, as in her previous life, men had once again robbed her of her life, and once again Mary renewed her vow to eradicate every last man that God had created from the face of the earth, even if it meant defying God and not allowing him to claim her in death. She would remain on earth for as long as it would take, but she would destroy every last man. Suddenly, Mary's rage caused her to snap. She screamed and felt her enhanced strength as she transformed back into her previous revenant self. Even her breast enhancements and dyed hair were restored. She stood up and glared at everybody in the basement as she smiled evilly. Hell just came calling and aids Mary is

45:27 here to collect. Two sorority girls screamed and tried to escape upstairs, when Mary quickly moved underneath the stairway and ripped it away, making the girls fall. Mary wasted no time in beating them to a pulp. With her rage fueled revenant strength, she went around the basement and made a very gory and disgusting spectacle that the Strickfield PD would be talking about for some time. Mary had slain nearly every single person in the house. All that was left was Delilah Warren, just seeing the somewhat shiny skin on aids Mary, and how had Annie suddenly become sexy and endowed? So many questions were racing through Delilah's mind as she lashed out and injected her prey turned attacker with the deadly syringe.

46:30 Aids. Mary groaned and fell to one knee. Wow, you really got me. That's right, you bitch. Delilah jeered, I'll be the last one here. I'll tell the police that what happened down here was all you. Ain't you forgetting one little detail? Mary returned. Suddenly, Mary shot to her feet and snatched Delah by the throat. Then she easily lifted her predator turned prey off her feet. You will be on death's doorstep when the police find you, Mary finished.

47:15 As she was ready to beat Delilah to a pulp, she suddenly stopped and smiled wickedly. Oh no, no, no, no, I've got a much better idea for you. Mary slammed Delilah onto a table and rendered her unconscious with a sudden fist to the side of the head. Nothing could prepare Delilah for the horror that aids Mary planned for her. Several minutes later, when Delilah came around, she found herself fully secured to the table. Glad you came around, Mary said in her ear, it's time. What do you think you're doing, Delilah demanded me. Why, I'm going to have a little fun at your expense, Mary purred devilishly. In case you haven't felt it yet, you're quite bottomless now.

48:24 When Delilah saw that she was indeed naked from the waist down, she shrieked, what are you doing? Stop? Mary sneered, I can't technically fuck you since I don't have the proper equipment. She raised a knife and cut two of her fingers. Then she made sure Delilah saw them bleeding. But I can most certainly improvise for a bitch like you who's sympathetic to rapist pieces of shit. She dropped the knife, and after the police find you, they'll find this.

49:07 Mary moved and turned a full length mirror to where her prisoner could see it. Delilah screamed when she read the lipstick, Welcome to my world of AIDS. Mary smiled, you're the only one left, Delilah. Now you belong to AIDS. Mary. And since your legs are all nice and spread for me, Delilah screamed in utter horror as she knew exactly what Mary intended to do. An hour later, Raymond Burr had finished his exam and was outside Mary's apartment door when he saw it was a jar. He got worried and quickly went in Annie, Annie, where are you? He called out?

50:07 When the door suddenly slammed. He turned to see Annie. To his surprise, his girlfriend looked much different. He was even surprised that Annie now had surgically enhanced breasts, made evident by her cleavage. No, not Annie, Never, Annie, Never again. She grabbed Raymond and slammed him against a nearby wall with one hand. Mary Anne Wright is dead now and forever. I am Aids Mary. She came into him and made sure he looked deep into her face as she told him everything that had happened. You can go save Delilah Warren, not that it'll do her any good. I believe I told you before that in a former life, you were my first victim when I became Aids Mary. However, in light of the fact you knew nothing about what your fraternity brothers did, I'll spare your fate and let you live for now. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have so many more men to kill. Raymond watched in horror

51:40 as the love of his life left him. He wanted to chase her down, but remembered what she had said about Delilah Warren and went to the fraternity house. As for Aids Mary, it wouldn't take long for her legend to be known far and wide as she continued her sexual quest against men to destroy them with the evolved disease that she carried perdition. Hell Weaver and Sin smiled at knowing one soul would be claimed. Hell Weaver would only have to claim two more, and with four opportunities remaining, she could have escaped mom. Sin pointed out, she could have just left the university and lived her life. Why would the fool give up her second chance to save someone?

52:42 All it did was return her to her fate. I did warn her about that. Hell Weaver agreed, But being a former human mortal yourself, you must understand that there are some among your former kind that empathy. Upon becoming human once more, she regained her humanity. While I may successfully claim her soul, her early choices intrigued me. Yes, humanity may prove to be a formidable foe in my quest to obtain the other two souls that I require.

53:24 As you know, I welcome challenges. Sin felt excitement. You can win the second chance compact, Mom, Then you shall be free once more. I can't wait for your next choice. From there, mother and daughter gazed into the Infinity Corps again perdition hell Weaver and gazed into the waters of the Infinity Corps to oversee the village of Strickfield, Ohio.

54:09 Hell Weaver, look to Sin, you shall select my second soul. Sin couldn't resist the invitation and was intrigued by one particular mortal, this one Mom. They watched the history of Jensen Mirn play out. Jensen had been a very troubled child from the time she had understood what being a Miran meant. Jensen wasn't content with the prestige that came with being a member of the family of the top one percent of the top one percent. Jensen wanted to make her own way and would leave her family's gates to wreak havoc. She would steal whatever she wanted, get into trouble at school, and become rebellious to where she was well on her way to becoming a tortured soul.

55:11 Hell Weaver knew it was only a matter of time before Jensen's feelings of dominance turned into an addiction. Then the day came when Jensen's eyes locked with those of Zack Jenner at Strickfield University. This dangerous beauty would feel the power of love as it entangled her and Zack. She resisted him at first, but their feelings proved to be too strong for them to remain apart. In fact, it was after Zack had broken up with his former lover, Sylvia Charmer, that he came to be with Jensen. Zach still had feelings for Sylvia, but didn't want to admit it.

56:01 Jensen noticed this and again asserted her dominance by using snakes from Strickfield University's zoology lab to kill Zach's family when they constantly presented themselves as obstacles. In this, Jensen sought to frame Sylvia, who was known to have many dangerous snakes as pets. However, Jensen's story had a tragic ending. Her fate proved deadly when she thought she could handle the snakes the way Sylvia Charmer could. Jensen confronted Zack at his house and confessed everything. Shortly after, the black mamba snake she was handling attacked and killed her. Later, Zack and Sylvia would rekindle their love, marry and have two children. But Hell, we had other plans for this particular story. Very well, Sin, I shall approach this mortal that you have selected. True, her soul is since departed from the mortal realm, but I shall offer her a second chance. None the less. Hell Weaver raised her arms.

57:23 Hell Weaver raised her arms and glowed to allow her astral projection to ascend from her body. From there, she made her way to Strickfield Strickfield General Hospital five years ago, the morgue was quiet. Jensen Miron's body had been dropped off hours ago and was placed into a refrigeration unit. Now, a student mortician opened Jensen's unit and rolled her naked corpse out. As the student read her toe tag, she soon realized she wasn't alone. She turned to see the winged demon, who looked like a sucubus, approaching. When the goddess reached her, she simply waved her hand over the young woman's face. Sleep mortal. The student immediately dropped to the floor, unconscious. Hell Weaver waved her hand to close and lock the mortuary door. Then she levitated the body of Jensen Mirn from the refrigeration unit to the slab, where she lowered it. Even death is beneath one such as I, hell Weaver said. The goddess used her incredible

58:57 power to bathe Jensen Miron's boy in an aura of light. Soon she was fully restored. Rise, Jensen Mirn that we may converse. Jensen slowly opened her eyes and yawned, as though she had been in a very deep sleep. She sat up and faced the goddess who had restored her life. Who are you, she gasped upon seeing hell Weaver, Perhaps your savior, Jensen Mirn, I have restored your life in the mortal realm so that we may discuss an arrangement.

59:46 I wish to offer you a second chance, that you may have the opportunity to change your fate for the better. Jensen seemed confused. What do you mean you brought me back to life? You mean literally brought me back to life exactly now, listen, child, hell Weaver explained everything to Jensen. The more she explained, the more Jensen became enraged. She shot up off the slab and felt her bare feet on the floor. She also now realized she was completely naked and wearing a tag on her big toe. What the she gasped. Jensen quickly removed the toe tag and read what her cause of death had been, snake bites.

1:00:50 She muttered in disbelief. Oh shit, I remember now, she faced hell Weaver. You're right about everything, and now that you have both your memories and your life again, what is your decision? Hell Weaver asked. Jensen didn't hesitate. Okay, yes, I accept very well. Our pact is sealed. At what point in your past shall I place you? As Jensen pondered it, she felt the emotional pain of losing Zack Jenner and regretted what she had done to bring herself to Now she had her plan, put me somewhere where I haven't met Zack Jenner. She raised her finger. I've got it. Freshman year at Strickfield University, day one very well.

1:01:54 But be warned, you shall not have met this mortal that you have a romance to interest in. But fate is very difficult to avoid the decisions that you make from where I send you will require discretion should you fail to change your fate for the better, then I may return to claim your soul. Jensen wasn't deterred. I always loved living dangerously, so let's do this without another word. Hell Weaver sent Jensen to where she requested two years earlier.

1:02:40 Perspective Jensen, Mirron, I'm suddenly on campus at Strickfield University. Just to make sure I go find one of the daily campus newspapers. This can't be real. It really is the first day of freshman year. I remember certain things, and holy shit, I got to take my brain back with me. This means no, no, no, I can't overthink this. This ain't no dream and I ain't in one of Aunt Adrian's VR simulators. I mean, this place is just busy with people taking Strickfield University in and experiencing college life.

1:03:32 I'm just so excited to be alive again. I touched the places where that black mamba bit me. No scar or any indication I ever got bit. It's like, no, no, it never happened, and it isn't going to happen. I'm free. I can make new choices now, I really can turn my life around. Then I realize Zack Jenner could be anywhere on this campus. After all, he and Sylvia Charmer were both here at the same time. Hey, as long as I go to places where they're not likely to be, I'll never have to worry about either one of them.

1:04:22 Time to just enjoy myself. I'm nineteen again with my twenty one year old brain. Then I feel my purse and dig out a menthol cigarette and a lighter. I light the cigarette and go lean up against the outside of Molinoff Hall. It kind of feels like junior year now, only I was leaning outside University Hall. That was when Zack Jenner and I met, or rather our eyes met. I'm free and clear. Of that now. However, as I'm blowing the smoke, my eyes suddenly go wide.

1:05:05 Zach Jenner, our eyes meet and lock, just like junior year. We don't move to break contact. Seriously, what the hell did hell Weaver screw me over? Why didn't I remember the mirror and ways? That's what I get for making a deal with a devil lady. Then I do remember the mirror and ways, the parts about dealing, and recall exactly what I told hell Weaver. She did put me to where I hadn't met Zack I never said anything about never meeting him period. Also, she warned me about fate.

1:05:47 Looks like fate found me fast by pulling Zach Jenner and me right to each other. Shit, now I got to play this one out here again in this point in time. No way, time to end this shit right now. I glare right at Zack. Hey, boy, ain't you got better things to do than stare at my tits? At first, Zack doesn't back off. His eyes are still locked with mine. He's truly fallen in love with me. Well, I ain't goin through this shit again. Piss off, I yell. Zack finally breaks eye contact with me and leaves. When he's walking away, he's looking over his shoulder and stealing peaks at me. Likewise, I'm looking back at him.

1:06:40 God, damn it. My long gone feelings for Zack returned with a vengeance. Ow I groan when the familiar pang makes my tummy hurt, Just like before, I check my schedule. It's just the way I remember it. Then, I remember Zach being in a few of my classes. Back then, he was just another face in the crowd. Now, shit, I gotta get to class. I'll go to admissions and change my schedule later two weeks later, Zak is still in a few classes with me, even though I got my schedule changed.

1:07:30 He never makes any attempts to sit right beside me, but close enough. Oh he steals peaks at me during lectures. Now I flip him off, not caring who sees me. He's looking at me again, taking in my whole head. I just got the left side buzzed yesterday. I also put in some new earrings. He's checking out my clothes, leather mini skirt and a white T shirt over black braw. I got ankle high boots, but removed them to be barefoot. Hey, it's hotter than hell outside. Before long, the lecture's done and classes over. I put my boots back.

1:08:14 On and hand in my homework. When I leave the classroom, Zach's right there. What do you want? I demand, sharply. Want to go get coffee with me? He asks, quite confident. Piss off. I reply, showing more confidence. Suddenly he backs me up against the wall. I don't give up easily, Jensen, is it? Our eyes are locked together again. My heart's pounding fast. I swear if he kisses me, I'm taking him home to bed.

1:08:55 As if reading my mind, he does kiss me. Never mind I'd just been smoking. I can't help it. The pang's hurting my tummy. Make me kiss him back as promised. I do take him. Oh okay, maybe not home. We head to the Strickfield Centennial Theater. We have the screen all to ourselves during an old animated movie where we do some hot and nasty fucking. I may be making the worst choice of my second chance, but I love and want Zack so badly. Two years later, now that Zack and me are screwing, I remember he's also screwing Sylvia Charmer. In fact, I saw him kissing that snake bitch a few times. Surprisingly, I'm not even mad. Zach easily saw that I'm a hood. In fact, he's seen me shoplift. He saw me fight some sorority skank who looked at me the wrong way. His family even told him I'm trouble so many times, and he still wants me.

1:10:18 We went through freshmen and sophomore years at Strickfield. Youu being a couple, and Zach continues sleeping with Sylvia Charmer. I won't lie. Sylvia is a burning hot redhead who's put together. Just like me. Only thing she has a thing for snakes. Yeah, those years seemingly flew right by. Now we're at the very day when Zach would first meet me in my original timeline. But now that event outside University Hall never happened. Instead, we're having some kisses outside the main doors. I remember it was at this point when I was very insecure and wasn't sure Zach cared about me at all. Zach was still hung up on Sylvia Charmer, but I think these days he's mostly hung up on me. He promised me over the summer that it was just going to be him and me. I knew he was serious when I stopped smelling Sylvia Charmer on him and knew he wasn't sleeping with her anymore. The truth was, why did I let Zack have both of us and get this?

1:11:36 Sylvia has never once been to Zach's house. Either he always went to her mansion or they went somewhere else. I just know I never ever smelled her in the Jenner House. After the two of us have incredible sex, were lying together in his bed, That's when he tells me about discovering Sylvia Charmer at her house with snakes all over her body. To be honest, I'm surprised he never knew. Then again, I never told him I knew. But I also know Sylvia Charmer ain't giving up on Zach.

1:12:20 The snake bitch would come for him again soon enough. There were times I'd see her trying to corner Zack in Wilder Hall, our student union building. Last week, she tried working her charms on him at Boble Topia at the mall. Each time I'd be there to break that shit up and fast piss off. I snap at Sylvia. Finally, Zack is mine. She always gives me that look, saying we'll see. I don't know why, but this love triangle's actually been a turn on. I'd never had so much sex with somebody as I did with Zach. But now things with Sylvia are getting old. The following week, it's another afternoon when Zach brings me home with him. Today, when I see the way his parents and little sister are looking at me, I remember killing them for trying to keep Zach and me apart. In my past timeline, we got into shouting matches. Even Zach's dog Sparky hated me so far nothing's changed about the dog until now.

1:13:42 Sparky is in Zach's room when he brings me there. He's always under Zach's bed until he knows I'm here. Today, I kneel down in front of Sparky. He's just looking at me. Look, I know you hate me, but I really do love Zach. I do. I won't hurt him, I promise, and Sparky finally lets me pet him. Any other time he'd back off or growl at me. Zach sees me petting his dog and knows he finally likes me. Maggie, his little sister, still gives me shit. Believe me, I really want to kick her ass, but she ain't worth it or losing Zach over.

1:14:36 Remember how I said Sylvia wouldn't take no for an answer, Well she made another attempt on Zach earlier at school Today. I left my binder in one of the science labs at University Hall and went back for it. When I got closer to said lab, I heard people arguing and knew it was Zach and Sylvia. So this is how it is. Zach. I really thought you were a decent guy, but you're You're just like all the others. The second you find out what my one flaw is, you just turn tail and run. Not only run, but run right into Jensen Miron's fake tits. And yes, I know you've been sleeping with us both. Zach kept trying to explain himself, but Sylvia was pissed. I was beginning to wonder if this love triangle would ever end, when suddenly I heard silence.

1:15:42 I peeked into the lab and saw Sylvia and Zach liplocking hot and heavy. I was so pissed. Zach said it was just us and there he was ready to screw Sylvia right there in the lab. Then I heard Sylvia shriek and looked in again to see Zach shoved her away. She was on her ass and glaring up at him. Then I heard a loud hiss and saw Sylvia snake on the table near them. When Zach grabbed a lab pan, I decided I had enough. Then I remembered when this moment pushed me over the edge in my previous life. I saw Zack and Sylvia kissing, and it made me snap. It was this moment I decided to kill Zach's family made me want to kill him for kissing her. But a lot's happened since hell Weaver brought me back to life. Sylvia and I both knew Zach was sleeping with us. I mean, I understood Zach wasn't simply just double dipping. He truly loved both of us.

1:17:03 The fact that he kissed Sylvia said it. But I had. Finally had enough. I stormed right into the lab and glared at Sylvia. I'm so sick and tired of you being in the picture all the time. Then that copperhead snake turned and hissed at me. Just as Sylvia was getting back on her feet, Zach was ready to smack that snake right off the table with the lab pen. Oh but this snake had just challenged me. Challenge excepted, I told the snake reaching out and snatching it right to me, no copy. Sylvia pointed right at me. Let him go right now. I glared at Sylvia and smiled wickedly.

1:17:56 You know, babe, I haven't eaten today yet. Holding the copper head to where it couldn't bite me, I turned on the Bunsen burner directly in front of me. I grabbed my lighter out of my purse and ignited the burner. After putting the lighter down, I grabbed the snake's other end and stretched it out to where it looked like I was holding a huge rubber band. Then I held the snake above the fire, not enough to burn it, but enough to get Sylvia's attention. Don't you dare Jensen. Sylvia roared, I will kill you if you hurt Copy in any way. Then back off, I fired, back, leave Zach alone. Sylvia was royally pissed. Her fists were tightened and her green eyes looked like they were actually glowing.

1:18:56 I almost wondered if her fiery reddish yellow mixed hair it would burst into real flames. But I kept holding the snake over the fire. Tell me you'll leave Zach alone and I'll let your snake go, I repeated. Better to side fast, like I said, I'm hungry. Slow roasted snake sounds mighty tasty right about now. Sylvia wanted to attack me so bad, but she really cared for the snake. She loosened her fists and stepped away. Fine, you can have Zach. Just give Copy back. Head to the door, Zach, I told him. When he got there, I was back to holding the snake with one hand when I turned the burner off. Then I put the snake down and backed off copy Sylvia cried happily and snatched up her pet.

1:19:58 When Sylvia kissed the snake on top of its head, it seemed to nuzzle itself against the tip of her nose. I quickly turned to Zach, took his hand, and we got the hell out of that lab. I still didn't grab my binder or my lighter. Getting back to now we're in Zach's room. I can't take it no more. I let go of Zack's hand and cry. Before Zach can put his arms around me, I point right at him. We're done, I tell him. I have tried so hard to be understanding of you and your and your feelings.

1:20:41 What about me? Don't I have feelings too. I'll make this real, goddamn simple. You have to choose Sylvia Charmer or me. I'm done sharing you with her. If you want only Sylvia, then I promise I'll leave you two alone and let you be happy to get other. I don't expect you to understand, but in a former life I let my feelings for you become obsession. I got a second chance to change things now I finally know and understand what I feel for you after all this time, I love you, Zach. I touched the pit of my tummy.

1:21:24 It hurts so much. That's how I know it's true love. But you can't have us both anymore. I know your hearts with Sylvia, so go ahead and go be with her. I can't hold back no more and cry. I hear Sparky's sadness when I leave Zach's room for the last time. Zach never calls out or comes after me. That night. I'm still an emotional wreck when I reach my safe place at the abandoned railyard and sit. I lived out here back when I was part of a few gangs.

1:22:09 I gave up on gang life after Zack and me got together, but I still come here when I need to be alone. I couldn't stay home and cry my eyes out. My parents were up my ass since they never liked Zack and refused to understand how I feel about him, so I walked out and came here. My life ain't been the best. I rebelled against my parents when they expected me to just follow the mirror ways and be greedy the. Way they are. I just wanted something for me, so I turned to theft drugs, alcohol, and even joined gangs. I even killed people during gang fights, but only because it was either them or me. I suppose the one thing I did do in terms of being a mere and woman was getting my tits done when I turned eighteen and having my coming out party. But that was because I wanted them done, since I know they open a lot of doors.

1:23:15 I just never expected to ever fall in love. I know I lost Zac Jenner once and for all, but I only want him to be happy. He clearly wants Sylvia Charmer, so let him be with her. Christ. My heart's breaking, but at least I understand how love works. Now, this is one thing I'll never regret about my second chance. From here, I'll continue it by leaving Strickfield. Suddenly, I get that gut feeling and go to my hidden panel to pull out my gun. I know some gangs still like coming down to make deals or have fights. It's when I see the bastard and his colors that I know he's a tarantula. When I was a black widow, we fought them many times. When he sees me, he shoots without thinking twice. I'm calm and collected and pop him right between his eyes. With the full moon, there won't be shit in terms of nightcover.

1:24:28 Fine with me. I want these bastards to see it was a former black widow that killed them. Soon the rest of the tarantulas are here. It's me against all of them. I hold my place and take out nearly everyone. Unfortunately, when I got to reload, I take a bullet right in the gut. Christ this hurts nowhere near as bad as my broken heart. Though I'm flat on my back. When the last two come in, I put a bullet right through one of their heads. When I'm ready to finish off the last one before I die, What the did he just disappear on me? He suddenly appears again on the other side of my head and grabs my wrist to make me drop my gun. Even after all this, I still ain't afraid. In fact, I ain't never been afraid.

1:25:27 I ain't even afraid to die. This is how my second chance ends. Hell Weaver's getting my soul for this. The tarantula and I keep staring at each other. Then he nods once and smiles, fuck you. I tell him defiantly and wait for him to finish me off. Two years later, I'm nearly at the end of my senior year of college. Just a few more weeks and I'll officially graduate. I had a change of heart. Ever since Zack Jenner and me became a thing of the past, he never reached out to me, so I transferred out of Strickfield University and went to Ridgeway Heights Northern University.

1:26:23 My heartbreak was tough, but I went through it and came out okay. Since I'm still here, that means hell Weaver hasn't come for my soul. I figure I haven't finished my story yet. Do I feel my life changed for the better in some ways? Yes, I never killed Zach's family. I never faced down Zach with that black mamba that would have killed me. Aside from the gang fights I've been in in the past, I never killed anybody. I've been on some dates, even got laid, but nothing ever really panned out. I've been taken night classes since making it out of the Strickfield Railyard. I never knew how much I enjoyed the night until I started living more for it as much as I enjoyed the night before.

1:27:17 I never knew that the night was a whole other world in itself. Not as much goes on during the day as you might think. Getting to Now class is done, I grab an energy drink and go lean against an outside wall of the student union building to enjoy it. I gave up smoking and turned to these delicious things, definitely better than menthol cigarettes. Now you want to talk about fate giving you another swift kick in the ass. When I'm enjoying my monster nitro, I hear a dog barking.

1:27:57 When the dog comes to me, I lower myself and pet it. Then I recognize Sparky. Is that you? I get my answer when I see him. Zach Jenner sees me like that first day of freshman year at Strickfield. You, Zach and I are again in deep eye lock, and all those feelings that were long buried a second time again return with an even bigger vengeance. I drop my can when Zach reaches me. He eases me into his arms and kisses me. I have zero restraint when I hold him to me and kiss him back. I think we set a new record for the longest reunion kiss ever when we stop our eyes lock again. I've been looking for you for two years Jensen. Zach quickly says, I wanted to tell you that I wanted to be with you, but I couldn't find you. I guess you thought I really chose Sylvia. I should have chased you down that day you walked out and told you like a dumbass, I just let you go. I wanted to call you so bad, but you never had a phone.

1:29:31 I never stopped loving you. We kiss again, then time just seems to pass. As we're in bed at his place, we have the hottest, incredible reunion sex. When we finish, I beg Zach to be genuine in his feelings this time, telling him I can't go through another heartbreak. He promises me it's just him, me and Sparky. Then he admits Sylvia Charmer ain't been in the picture since I rescued him from the science lab that day, and that his moment in the lab was weakness. He hasn't been with her again since. Weeks later, college is over, Zack and I finally have our degrees. As for us, Zach brought Sparky to come live here in Ridgeway Heights with me.

1:30:32 We got our own place and continued with our new life together believe it or not. He never asked me why I ain't a day person. He said he didn't care what we did or where we were, as long as it was just the two of us. But you just knew Sylvia Charmer wasn't out of the picture. In fact, Zach and I are out clubbing on a Saturday night and just had an impromptu quickie in a nearby alley. When I feel myself being ripped away from Zack and thrown back. Zach can't have you, Jensen. I hear Sylvia Charmer yell. When I hit the wall and fall on my side, Zach is mine and will always be mine.

1:31:19 You need to just die. Sylvia is on me again. I never knew snake bitch was so strong, but she heaves me into another wall again. I hit it and fall on my back. When Sylvia is ready to grab me again, I lash out and punch her with enough force to send her flying. When I'm back on my feet, I see Zach's angry scowl. Leave us alone, Sylvia, he yells, I told you we were over two years ago. Sylvia flashes a sinister smile. Never loverr you belong to me me.

1:32:04 When Sylvia gets up and sees I'm ready to fight. Her eyes look more like those of her snakes. Then she surprises Zach and me by changing her hands and shoes rip away, her legs come together to make a huge snake coil. Her skin becomes shiny and scaly. But I have a surprise too and change into my vampire form. When that last tarantula looked ready to kill me, he revealed he was a vampire and offered to sire me out of respect for being one of their toughest rivals in the gangs I belonged to.

1:32:51 I mean I. Killed everybody else he was with right. Not wanting to give up my soul to hell, Weaver accepted his offer. So I guess I did die, but I was reborn as a vampire. My sire taught me what I needed to know, then he released me. Now Zach is seeing two monsters fight it out, with him being the prize. Sylvia and I go at each other with all the hatred we feel. We're rivals in love, but we've grown so emotional over Zach that we no longer wanted to share him with the other girl and are willing to kill for him. Our cards are on the table. Now we play our hands. Clearly, I want Zach more. When I show Sylvia how vicious I can be. I injure Sylvia to the point where I know she's weak. But snake Bitch ain't finished yet. If I can't have have Zak Jensen. She suddenly lashes out with her snaketail and nails Zack to send him flying hard into a wall.

1:34:11 Neither can you? I scream like I never screamed before. Sylvia Charmer's been such a pain in my ass since freshman year at Strickfield. For many years, this love triangle has been a part of my life. But seeing her attack Zach like that made me snap. The two of us fight one more time. Truly, Sylvia underestimates my love for Zack. When I back her into a corner, I show the bitch I'm still a hood that will never be afraid of her. I want to kill her so bad, But when I see her crying, no, I may be a monster now, but I don't have to kill Sylvia. I move to Zach to lift him into my arms to get us away from the alley. Hell, this love triangle may.

1:35:07 Never be over. Epilogue, I nurse Zach back to health until he's finally ready to take back his own life. It was then when I would test him for sure. I have to know. You're free to go. I tell him. I beat down Sylvia Charmer, but I know you still love her. I told you two years ago, Zack. I'm through competing with her, so go be happy with her. Zach springs right to me and snatches me to him.

1:35:48 I don't fight. When he looks deep in my eyes before kissing me, I give in and kiss him back. When we come apart, he caresses the side of my cheek on my vampire face. I ain't leaving you, Jensen, he declares, what part about I looked for you for two years. Don't you understand I did love Sylvia, but she's the past. I love you. You can see I'm just as much a monster as Sylvia, right, I remind him. He still holds me to him. I don't care. I searched for you for two years. I won't lose you ever again, even if you are a monster. It's you, me and Sparky. I know you feel the same way.

1:36:46 I shift back to human. I mean it. I want all of you, Zach. I know I sound like a selfish bitch here, but I won't share you with anyone ever again, especially Sylvia Charmer. Our eyes are deadlocked one more time. Then I'll marry you, Jensen, anything to prove I love you, only you, So that's it. Then I finally won him, Zach and I would elope when the weekend came, and then I knew in my undead heart, hell Weaver would never claim my soul. I had more than changed my life for the better, even though I died along the way and became undead. Both me, dying and fate couldn't keep Zach and I apart. In my former life, I lost Zach because of obsession. In my do over, I learned from my mistakes and grew. I love my new life a whole hell of a lot better now. As for Zack and me, we're enjoying the night life life together as husband and wife. Of course, Sparky's along for the ride and still sleeps under our bed.

1:38:09 And my parents still don't approve of Zach. His still don't approve of me either, But it's our life and our choice. End of discussion, perdition, Well done, Jensen, Miron, hell Weaver said, sincerely, but Sin became enraged. How could this be? Hell Weaver knew that Sin needed consoling and eased her daughter into her arms. She could feel Sin's seething anger through her trembling. Be calm child, hell Weaver said, motherly, She's a miron. How could she learn to care? Sin demanded a name means nothing, hell Weaver stated, truly, Jensen Mirn found her humanity in her second chance. When they separated, Sin was still angry. You act like you're applauding her, hell Weaver smiled.

1:39:23 Perhaps I am. Jensen Mirn has played her hand well. Sin pointed right at her, But you can't claim her soul. Now be angry with me if you must, But I shall not seek vengeance. Jensen Mirn has earned the right to retain her soul. I shall not appear before her again, unless she should choose to summon me for a potential pact in the future. Sin looked sad. Now, I could never be angry with you, you, mom, I was the one who picked Jensen Mirn for you. I'm the one who failed you. Hell Weaver caressed the side of Sin's face.

1:40:12 There are still three more opportunities within the second Chance compact, I may still obtain two more souls. In fact, I am eager to make my next offer. Shall we see which mortal I shall grant an opportunity onto next? Sin smiled warmly, as you command mom perdition, hell Weaver and her daughter sat before the Infinity Corps to see who would be the next potential soul to be captured. Would you like an opportunity at redemption, sin, hell Weaver asked, I know that my first loss bothers you greatly. Sin tightened her fists. I have seen these Mirans many times, not just in Strickfield, but in other cities on Earth.

1:41:25 I swear to you that nearly all of them are beyond redemption. I was so certain that Jensen Mirn was just such a mortal. Hell Weaver smiled a little. Then choose another Miran for me, one that you feel should truly not be able to choose to better themselves the way Jensen Mirn has done. Sin couldn't resist the invitation and gazed into the Infinity Core. She witness the lives of several Mirons before she finally found one too tempting to resist him, Calvin Miron. Hell Weaver witnessed his story, Calvin Mirn had been a privileged womanizer who exploited the opposite sex for opportunities, never caring in the least what happened to those women unfortunate enough to cross him. Unfortunately for Calvin, exploitation worked both ways. Three of his exploits came back to haunt him by seducing him enough to wear they would remove his kidneys for sale on the black market. Calvin Mirn would remain at Strickfield General Hospital for months until he would finally receive a donor kidney

1:42:57 that was a match for him. Calvin seemed to be well for a few months after leaving Strickfield General and went back to his womanizing ways. He should have served time for some of his actions, but Mere and Family attorneys easily got his sentence reduced to financial compensation. Only Calvin wouldn't have to gloat. However, when complications with his donor kidney arose, within a few days of being admitted to a more advanced hospital in Ridgeway Heights, Calvin had died. His body had been returned to Strickfield General Hospital, where it was placed into a refrigeration unit in the morgue.

1:43:44 The same as his cousin Jensen. In fact, he was only placed a few drawers down from her. Only now Jensen had been freed as a result of the second Chance compact. I am intrigued by this mortal, hell Weaver said, very well, Sin, I shall accept your selection. He has the perfect qualities for me to gain my second soul. However, I must again advise you not to underestimate mortals. Even one such as Calvin Mirn, may have potential. Perhaps if you would leave their memories intact when you transport them to their destinations. Sin hinted, this is not my doing, Hell Weaver countered, it is a written condition within the compact, understandable given that souls must know where they failed previously to help influence their choices in their second chance. I shall go to Calvin Miran. Now, hell Weaver raised her arms and glowed as her astral projection left her body and perdition. Once again, she was back in the Strickfield General Hospital, Morgue. This was a different time period from

1:45:16 when she had resurrected Jensen Miron. Also, there were no morticians to get in hell Weaver's way. The goddess opened Calvinmirn's unit and moved his body to the slab, the same as she had done with Jensen. She used her powers to restore Calvin's body and his life. Soon he would open his eyes and sit up to behold hell Weaver. But Calvin could clearly see that he was in a morgue, feel that he was naked, and notice the tag on his toe. Yes, Calvin, miren, you live once more. How long you remain alive is entirely up to you. When hell Weaver gave him an uneasy smile, Calvin knew she had seen his erection and understood that he desired to have her. He really wanted to reach out and touch those large breasts that her metallic braw harnessed. However, his gut feeling told him he'd better keep his hands to himself.

1:46:37 I am not here to offer you my body, mortal, but merely the opportunity to keep yours, hell Weaver said. I offer to give you a second chance in life. Simply choose a point in your past where you would like me to place you. From there, you must make a better life for yourself than what you had before. Otherwise I may return and claim your soul. Always the schemer Calvin quickly made a plan. Then he agreed to hell Weaver's bargain. Place me at the exact point in time to where I would first meet Catherine Pierce. This way I can prevent her and those two other bitches from ever drugging me and taking my kidneys. It shall be done like the previous mortals. I shall warn you that fate is not so easily deterred. Choose your ways carefully, Calvin Miren, for the wrong choices may lead you back to this place of the dead again five years ago perspective, Calvin Meren. Hell, we've replaced me exactly where I needed to be. I already thought about just up and leaving

1:48:11 Strickfield and never even bothering to meet Catherine Pierce, Belinda James or Raylene Jones. But I remember what that wicked, hot demon woman said about fate. Who's to say I wouldn't run into them again outside the university. I mean, I could be driving my sports car and pull over for some hot piece of ass with a flat tire on the side of the road and have it be one of those women. I've read plenty of stories on Strickfield's website and know the Miran ways well enough to consider these things. No, I've got to face this problem head on, remembering my point in time, I'm sharing the loft with Jacob Levine. Then I remember that stupid idiot got killed by the Angel of Death along with his bubble headed girlfriend, Genevieve van Sandt. I'm sitting here at Denoyer's grill and enjoying some excellent food. I don't care.

1:49:13 I just want to live life again while I'm here. I don't know how long I was dead, but deep down I feel it must have been quite some time. This greasy cheeseburger is the best I've ever tasted. At this point, you truly learn to appreciate things when you get to live a second time. Right still, why would that beautiful goddess give me a second chance? If there are such things as heaven or Hell, I certainly would have gone to the latter. There's a copy of the Strickfield Journal on my table. I read the article by Miranda Mason Phillips about a body found near the football field with its heart missing. The more I'm thinking things, the more I realized something. When it comes to those three bitches, I haven't done a single goddamn thing to any of them. Yet I never disgraced Raylen Jones by stealing her term paper and getting her expelled for plagiarism. Also, I never got hold of Jacob's cameras after he and Genevieve died because they haven't been killed yet. In fact, they won't be killed for another two weeks. What's more, I never made any of those homemade porn videos with all those women I brought back to the loft. Once it was just me, which means I've got a whole

1:50:45 clean slate. Okay, I know I've scored with plenty of college babes and high school seniors, but they were just scores. I never did anything to disgrace any of them to where they would want. To kill me. Really, all I have to do is just live free. Then I'll never have to worry about disgracing anybody to where they would want to steal my kidneys. Still, I remember hell Weaver's words about fate. All I have to do is be a good boy. Ah, Who am I kidding?

1:51:25 I don't want to be a poster child for virtue. Last thing I want to do is start being a Bible thumper and preaching about the end of days. The problem here is that I think I'm addicted to women. There's no experience in the world like a warm female body. Having money is wonderful, especially when you're a mirror, but I'm going to say sex is many times better than money. I can just keep following my playbook and keep scoring all the women I want, as long as I don't disgrace any of them. Ah. I remember hell Weaver's words about fate again and know in my gut that somehow, somewhere I'm going to cross paths with Catherine Pierce, Raylen Jones and Belinda James. If I'm going to stop them from removing my kidneys, and I can't believe I'm thinking this, I'm going to have to.

1:52:35 Kill them. There's no other way. They can't steal my kidneys if they're dead, right, I remember what classes I've seen all three of them in. I can score those babes along the way. I can have my fun with them, then kill them. It'll be so easy. I'll just throw their next to the point where they just snap. That's going to be way easier said than done. But what choice do I have. It's either them or me. Naturally, I choose me, and again I remember hell Weaver's words about fate.

1:53:24 When I see Catherine Pierce's here at Denoyer's grill. How long was she here? I look over and remember how I ruined her life in the Okay, that's in my past now, even though it hasn't happened yet. Just the same, I could never forget that beautiful babe with her perfect body, sexy ass, incredible rack, and that sculpted face. Unlike when she approached me and introduced herself as Kitty, her hair is quite blonde. She dyed it black when she targeted me for her revenge. I decided right then and there to make my move. I won't let Katherine slip right through my fingers. More than that, I really want to take her to bed. Right now, I'm waiting to pay my check at the front register when Catherine's trying to pay hers, She's digging in her purse and can't seem to find her debit card. Also, she's short on cash.

1:54:39 I got it, I tell the counter guy and pay for Katherine. You don't have to do that, she says in her velvety voice. Buying coffee for Katherine at the bitter end was how I got her into bed when I started making the homemade porn videos. But this works just as well. Like I said in the past, as far as how to score chicks, you've got to make it about them. If you want to make it about you, always give the vibe that you're interested in whatever they have to say. Always watch your diet and work out to maintain a healthy body. But again, always make it about the babes. Catherine and I talk while we walk back to Strickfield University together. Goddamn if she isn't the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. Hey, Calvin, remember why you're doing this. First is some hot sex, then you kill her later that night. I know it's the first time I've had since coming back from the dead, but having your new first time with Catherine Pierce, Holy shit,

1:56:09 I think I have gone to heaven. After all, Catherine and I fucked several times in her off campus apartment. I can't stop kissing her enough or touching her. You want to know something, this woman could, honest to goodness, be my actual girlfriend. Whoa, whoa? Hold up, Calvin, No way you're letting these bitches into your life. We're trying to get rid of them. Remember, if you don't kill them, they'll kill Youugh have got to do it right now. I can feel Catherine's ready for another round. Christ I want her again too. The two of us resume. As I'm on top of her and making her cry out and heat passion. I move my hands from her perfect breasts to around her neck.

1:57:07 Catherine gasps and opens her eyes wide. Squeeze it, baby, I love it rough. Catherine's practically inviting me to kill her, so I squeeze her beautiful neck as she wraps those luscious legs around me. I hold on to her neck good. While we're working up to yet another climax, I'll snap her neck. At the height of it, We're both crying out. I'm squeezing more and more. Almost there, and then then we both climax together, the best one yet. I squeezed Catherine's neck so hard I swear I gave it my all.

1:57:55 I finally roll off her and catch my breath. It's not long before I feel Catherine move. Now She's laying her head on my chest. My arm automatically goes around her. Damn it, I just couldn't do it. I know I'm a womanizer and an asshole, but I'm definitely not a murderer. It's one thing to say you're going to kill someone, but doing it is a whole other story Entirely. It's certainly moments like this when you learn if you're a true killer or not. Besides, it's Katherine Pierce. I just could never kill her, even if she did cut open my back and remove my kidneys. The smell of both Katherine and I and all the hot sex we had fill this bedroom. Mostly the smell of Catherine. After a bit, she moves and lays on top of me, which reminds me of that Halloween morning when I woke up with her.

1:59:10 Catherine likes to lay on top of her guys after sex. Then I see that perfectly sculpted face again, and no, I just can't be without her. Maybe the sex is just that good. I don't know. It couldn't even be that it's her. Man, What if Catherine's truly the one for me? I'm breaking my most important rule of never letting women into your life, but I'm going to do it, even if it means putting my ass on the line. I desire this woman, plain and simple. What's wrong, baby, Catherine Purrs? We just had lots of incredible sex. I take hold of her face and kiss her. You have no idea. Then it just comes out. I really want to be with you, Catherine. The problem is I want to be with other women too. Catherine's giving me a predatory stare. Now I can't believe I just told her that shit. Then she gives me a hell of a surprise when she pecks my lips and says, you mean we can fuck but see other people? Or do you

2:00:42 mean be in an open relationship? Because as long as this isn't our only time, I think I can live with that. My heart is pounding fast now. Then I remember what my sister Calli once told me. She was being a complete bitch, but she said, if you ever find a woman willing to let you sleep around while in a relationship with her, then you'd better marry her. So that was it. Three weeks later, Catherine and I are officially a couple.

2:01:24 Now I invited her to move into the loft with me. Until that time, I was living with her in her apartment since I couldn't invite her to the loft on account of my dumbass roommate and his equally stupid girlfriend want to hear some irony. I honestly tried doing the right thing and tried to convince Jacob not to be in town on the night he and Genevieve were going to be murdered. I told him everything I knew from the yet to be published article. I remember reading in the Strickfield Journal to seeing that message written in Jacob's blood.

2:02:07 Christ I'll never forget that. Just be glad you didn't turn. On the light. I avoided death that night, for sure. I think being with Catherine made me just want to do the right thing. Like I said, I'm not a killer. That's why I couldn't just keep my mouth shut about Jacob and Genevieve. But you just know that idiot wouldn't listen and made the front page of the Strickfield Journal the next morning. Miranda Mason Phillips covered it. Nothing about any blood message on the wall, though, of course I never went to the loft that night. I never got the Angel of Death's attention, so the killer didn't have to write that message.

2:03:01 Speaking of Miranda Mason Phillips, I read another article by her about a sorority girl found with her lungs removed. Seriously, what is going on around here? Bodies have been turning up all over Strickfield with parts missing lately. Getting back to Catherine, she eventually introduced me to Rayleen Jones and Belinda James. The three of them are training to be doctors at Strickfield University. Having taken a class in medical terminology in my past life, I could understand their conversations.

2:03:43 Seeing these three babes together reminds me of that show they put on for me at Shakers on that Halloween night. I know it didn't end well since that's where I got rooffed before waking up in a bathtub full of ice, but that was a hell of a show. I guess what I'm saying here is that I very much wanted Catherine's friends. I think I'll still do it ultimately. I finally do have sex with both ray Lean and Belinda at separate times. Rayleen and I were in her apartment working on our term papers for our World history class.

2:04:27 When we took a break, she came at me. Then we christened her kitchen multiple times. As for Belinda, it just happened. Catherine asked me to take Belinda home when she'd had too much to drink at our loft. As soon as I brought Belinda in her loft, she suddenly came to life and tore off her t shirt no bra. For a while now, I've been having incredible sex with all three of these hot women. I mean, I was being the literal man whore here. I had Katherine and her two best friends. In fact, I'm not even looking at any other women now. I'm not even fantasizing about hell Weaver. But let's get back to Catherine Pierce. Even though I was having so much sex with Raylene and Belinda, Katherine was the one I always came home to, even though we both knew when the other got laid, we still had plenty to give each other. Katherine still wants me to throttle her neck whenever we have sex. She said there was just something about doing that that made her feel really, really hot. Eventually, I start to realize that with Katherine and me, even Belinda and Raylene, it's

2:05:57 not just about the sex anymore. I'm actually talking to these women and doing things for them. In fact, when that Halloween came, we all went out together trick or treating, just like in my past life. They even wear the same costumes too. We also go to Shakers for a private party. Afterwards, I make sure to keep my drinks to bottled beers. Whenever Raylen made me mix drinks, I simply told her I didn't drink them. I never had to worry, though she simply drank them herself or gave them to the other two women. Not a single drink had a roofy in it.

2:06:48 Oh. Those women even danced for me, the same as in my past life. The next morning, however, I don't wake up in a bathtub full of ice. I wake up next to Catherine. Then it's like something comes over her, because she gets wickedly wild and initiates morning sex. We really go at it again. I have my hands wrapped around her neck. When we finish, She's lying on top of me. I love you, Calvin, I hold her close.

2:07:28 I love you, babe. Then I gasp when I realize what I just said. For the first time ever, I tell a woman that I love her. Seriously, What the hell's happening here? Catherine hears me and raises her head to look at me. What's wrong? Nothing? I quickly tell her everything's good. She shakes her head a little. No, it's not nothing. I know you well enough by now to know something's on your mind. Calvin, what is it? I come clean with her. I've never told any woman I loved her until now. She studies me for a little bit. I see, so you don't really believe what you just told me. She gets off me now and sits beside me. I sit up next to her. I suppose it would be hard for you to say you love me when I'm both living with you and you're sleeping with my two best friends. I point to her, you have sex with other guys too, and you just said you love me. She sighs and cries a little. I do love you, Calvin, She turns to face me. But do you truly feel the same way.

2:09:01 Please just be honest with me. I'm a big girl. I suddenly get out of bed and explain to Catherine that we've been living together for several months. I remind her that we agreed on our relationship status together, and again the words flow right out like water. I just can't shut up and keep swearing up and down that I love her. The problem is I truly don't want to lose her. That's why I tell her that if she wants just the two of us to be exclusive, I'm willing to commit just to her and her only boy.

2:09:46 Would Callie either laugh her ass off or piss herself if she would have heard me say what I just said to her. I'm always going to be Calvin Miren, the womanizer. Catherine lifts herself to her knees on the mattress and comes to me. We're holding each other as we look into each other's faces. Do you love Raylen and Belinda too? She asks? My silence speaks volumes, then she pecks my lips. It's okay, Calvin, you can continue sleeping with them. Just save some of that love for me. Okay.

2:10:33 I hold this amazing woman close. How does she understand me so much? Then she springs something else on me when she chirps happy anniversary. Holy shit, she's right. It was one year ago today that I met her. From there, our relationship started like a blazing inferno. Who'd have thought we'd be together for one whole year, and while having an open relationship, I've been with her ray Len and Belinda. Somehow I can feel deep down, Catherine hasn't really been with other guys so much. Then she comes off the bed, takes my hand, and brings me to the bathroom. From there, we get into the shower and play together for a while.

2:11:30 After we finish some incredible shower sex, Catherine springs yet another surprise on me. We are going on a date tonight, Calvin. When I mean we, I mean you, Me, Belinda and Raylen, the four of us on a single date. Katherine, I stammer. Us girls rented this beautiful cabin off State Route one, and continues, we'll have a celebration dinner, then we'll have some hot anniversary fun again, just the four of us.

2:12:13 I really don't deserve any of you, I say, mostly you. Maybe we never truly deserve anybody we love, Catherine replies and pecks my lips. That night, everything goes according to plan. First we meet Belinda and ray Lean out at the cabin on Route one. Then we go to Ridgeway Heights for dinner. I've definitely whined and dined all three of these women separately, mostly Catherine, But to have all three of them at once and all of them aware of what's going on still, why do I keep anticipating something bad is going to happen. How Come I just can't forget hell Weaver's warning about fate. At the same time, what would I have done for these awesome women to want to kill me? I never disgraced any of them in any way. They're all still studying medicine at Strickfield.

2:13:25 You Christ, I totally turned over a whole new leaf, but I still can't forget hell Weaver's warning about fate. After dinner, the four of us continue our night on the town. After we finish, we go back to the cabin. As soon as we're inside, those women are all over me in the living room, I'm having some hot kisses with all of them. This is turning out to be the single greatest night of my life. Then ray Len suggests we have a drink to commemorate us being together like this, And what's about to happen. I'm making out with Catherine and Belinda while Raylene's making drinks. Soon she brings them on a tray. Raylene picks up my glass and hands it to me, And that is when I remember my former life. I've never forgotten the way Raylen looked at me when she handed me that rufied drink that Halloween night. Raylen's looking at me that same way right now. I told you I don't do mix drinks, I remind her. Ray Lean's pissed off. Now, you never want to drink anything I make Calvin, what the hell don't you trust me? When I see the looks on

2:14:58 the faces of the other women, that's when it finally dawns on me. I point to all three of them. I know the truth now. When Raylene and Belinda both look at each other the way they're doing, they just give me more confirmation on what hell Weaver told me about fate. But why I demand I never disgraced a single one of you in any way. I'm so pissed off. Now, why why do you want to kill me? You're wrong, Calvin, Catherine says, trying to save face. I point to all of them again. You know, I thought, in a former life, I was the one who drove you three into harvesting vital organs for the black market. But the real truth is you three have been harvesting organs all along, haven't you.

2:15:56 That's what all those articles in the Strickfield Journal were about. Weren't they all those bodies found organs removed. That was you three, wasn't it. Suddenly the ladies go to different spots and pull out hidden knives. Raylean also has a syringe. We all had fun tasting and experiencing you so we could test your endurance. Belinda tells me you're the absolute healthiest specimen we've ever encountered to date. Your organs will be quite valuable on the black market, especially your kidneys.

2:16:41 Raylene cheers. We harvest the organs, and Catherine puts them in the people willing to pay top dollar. She's a very good surgeon. I shake my head quickly. I loved you, all of you. I point to Catherine, but you your betrayal hurts the most. Catherine's eyes were wide open. Get him, Belinda cries. Belinda and Raylen come right at me, but Catherine hesitates. I lift Raylen up and put her through the coffee table. Unfortunately, Belinda stabs me in the side. Shit, I'm bleeding fast. I shove her down and move stop him.

2:17:25 Catherine rayleing groans. I get the hell out of that cabin. It's hard to run with being hurt like this and having no shoes. I manage to grab my pants, but I don't have time to dig my keys out to escape in the car. I turn and run out back. That's when the door opens there and Catherine emerges with a knife. You don't understand, Calvin, Catherine yells, coming down the steps to chase me. The medical programs at Strickfield University are expensive. Belinda yells, this is how we pay our tuition. Raylene adds. Once we harvest your organs, we'll be set with tuition and living costs until we finally graduate with honors. Here, I thought Catherine would hesitate again, but she proves to be the alpha of these three women when she catches up to me. From there, we fight.

2:18:29 The problem is I'm a lover, not a fighter. I easily lose to Catherine, as Belinda and Raylene watch. Also, I'm getting weaker and weaker from blood loss. I'm probably going to die soon. Yeah. Hell Weaver was right about fate. I tried to turn over a new leaf to love women instead of exploiting them. This is what I get for that. I lash out and shove Katherine on her ass. Then I turn and run. Those women are chasing me down again. When I run into a clearing. They quickly surround me. I'm so dead. I can't run anymore. I'm too weak and fall on my side. Fine, go ahead kill me, I mutter. I guess hell Weaver gets my soul after all. But I wouldn't change a thing when it comes to this second chance. You three were the best thing that ever happened to me. I point to Catherine.

2:19:52 You kept me honest most of all. No matter what happens, I love all three of you. Very touching. Belinda mutters back, don't you know there's no such thing as true love in a capitalist society? Being a mirn you should know that. Yeah, ain't that one of your Mirran ways? Raylene adds a lot of good those will do you? Now? Huh? Catherine has a knife in her hand and accepts another one from Belinda. Kill him, Raylene goads Catherine. Catherine gives me an evil smile. We had so much fun, Calvin, but now she raises the knives for the kill. That's when I break down and cry. I didn't lie when I said I love all three of these women. Obviously, I still love Katherine most of all. And then Catherine's strikes to my surprise, she slashes both of her best friend's throats with precision speed. Rayleen and Belinda both gasp at her betrayal and bleed out fast. Soon they fall to their knees. Why, Raylen chokes out. Belinda and Raylene

2:21:27 would never get to hear Catherine's answer when they fall onto their sides and die shortly after. Catherine quickly comes to me and stops my bleeding fast. I'm so sorry, Calvin, she tells me, crying herself. I tried so hard to convince Rayleen and Belinda not to do anything to you. Why didn't you, I ask? She sniffles. I really do love you, Calvin. I never lied about that. I wanted to be tough. I was our leader, but I lived with you for so long and got to know you. We had so much intimacy.

2:22:19 I won't let you die, but I do end up passing out. Maybe this is the end after all, and hell Weaver finally gets my soul. Time unknown. I'm waking up soon. I see I'm somewhere I'm not familiar with. When I feel someone is holding my hand, I fully open my eyes and see it's Catherine Pierce. I can tell she's been crying. You're finally awake, she shrieks happily.

2:23:02 I was beginning to think you'd never wake up. How are you feeling? I have an IV needle in my elbow and stitches where I got stabbed. I've been better, I say. My other elbow is sore. Catherine can't apologize or tell me she loves me enough. I raise my hand a little. I know I should be telling you to go straight to hell. You may still be poisoned for all I know. But Catherine falls on top of me so we can hold each other and kiss passionately.

2:23:42 When we stop, she levels with me. I got you fresh blood from the hospital in Strickfield, so you should be feeling a lot better. We're in Pendleton right now. We can't stay here for long. Once they learn I killed ray Lay and Belinda, the organization I did those black market surgeries for will hunt me down and kill me. I'll be on the run for the rest of my life. I couldn't kill you, Calvin. I love you. I caress the side of her face. I guess we're running away with each other. Then I won't lose you, Catherine. I can't.

2:24:27 I love you, So that's it. Catherine and I remain on the move to keep from being found by her former people. When we're driving across country, she asks how will remain on the run, saying she's only got so much money. I've only got so much money at this point myself, I tell her. Then I take her hand, didn't you hear Raylen before? I know the mere and ways be just fine. Like I said, I wouldn't trade this new life for my old one.

2:25:07 I mean it. If we have to keep running, then we'll keep running. Catherine and I will love each other till death do we part. Perdition. Sin knelt before her mother. I have failed you again. She looked up at hell Weaver. I shall accept any punishment you give me. Mom. Hell Weaver gave her daughter her motherly smile, Rise and sit with me. Sin obeyed. Then hell Weaver spoke, there is nothing to forgive. Did I not tell you that the mortal can be unpredictable? Truly, you have chosen two corrupt souls out of that Mern family. Even I did not expect for them to choose better fates than what they originally had, And they both learned the true meaning of love along their new paths. Sin gazed at her mother.

2:26:22 But now you've lost two souls, one more and you lose the second chance compact. Please do not ask me to choose another mortal for you. I do not wish to be the reason why you would lose. I would never shift the blame unto you, my daughter, hell Weaver assured her, especially when I myself asked you to choose those mortals. But do not worry, Sin, I already have the next two souls in mind for these final rounds of the compact. Sin was interested. Who will you pursue next, hell Weaver answered, The next soul that I am choosing has ties to your Strickfield, but I shall not seek my second soul there. The next contest shall take place in the megalopolis that is Shore City, Ohio. Though she lived in Strickfield for a time, she has certainly left a lasting impression on that village that has carried itself far and wide. The mere mention of her name is legendary.

2:27:39 Sin could hardly wait for the next chapter to begin. Perdition, Sin watch as hell Weaver, her mother brought up the history of another seemingly tortured soul through the infinity corps. I have been watching this one for some time. Hell Weaver said, the life of Laura Lee Hardy is by no means a happy one. They watched the story unfold, showing the abuse Laura Lee suffered at the hands of her older brother Aiden since childhood. Even though their mother broke up most every instance and would sometimes punish Aiden, he never ultimately backed off of Laura Lee.

2:28:45 As they grew. Closer to adulthood, Aiden began noticing his sister's sexuality and began attacking her through homophobia. Not only did Aiden belittle Laura Lee, he would discreetly follow her to see where she went and who she hooked up with. One day, he discovered Laura Lee was involved with Deborah Layman. When Laura Lee left, Aidan assaulted Deborah and hospitalized her. Days later, the Hardy family was on a freeway in Shore City. Aidan revealed his attack on Deborah to Laura Lee, causing her to snap. A fight broke out between Laura Lee and Aidan in the car, causing a fatal accident on the freeway that claimed the lives of both Aidan and their mother. Laura Lee felt so guilty about the deaths of her mother and brother that she developed multiple personality disorder, giving herself the illusion that her family was still alive.

2:29:59 She moved to Strickfield and lived on her deceased father's insurance money with her family. From there, she gained a new circle of friends and a few new girlfriends. The Aidan personality often proved stronger as it emerged and killed through Laura Lee. It was at Strickfield High Junior and Senior Prom that the truth about Laura Lee was finally revealed by Taylor Miren. Laura Lee was finally killed herself and then returned to Shore City where she would be laid to rest. After that horrible night, Laura Lee came to be known as the prom Queen Killer. Laura Lee Hardy would not remain at rest, however. Months later, a group of Shore City East High School students drove to Green Lawn Cemetery and found Laura Lee's grave. Melissande la Pala was known to practice black magic for seemingly entertainment only purposes. Malissande recited a spell over Laura Lee's grave to supposedly restore her to life. Unbeknownst to the group, especially Malissande, the spell worked Laura Lee returned to the

2:31:33 mortal realm as a supernaturally powered revenant, falling in love with Melissande and vowing to win her heart. It was at the Shore City East High School homecoming dance where Laura Lee and Melissande brutally massacred many of the student body and teachers in attendance. The unholy couple, as they came to be named, left together afterwards, But this story has a most unfortunate ending, hell Weaver concluded. Just days after, a group of vengeful mortals found the two of them, wanting justice for the souls they destroyed at that school event.

2:32:25 Laura Lee kept her attackers back. Melissan, however, was not so fortunate. Mother and daughter watched as a Posse member raised his shotgun and blew Melissan's brains out. Laura Lee went into a rage and experienced an incredible boost in strength. She threw off the Posse members who had overwhelmed her, before breaking and battering those unfortunate enough to be in her pa. The Posse tried shooting Laura Lee down, but the revenant was far too enraged to go down so easily.

2:33:11 Only her brother Aiden had caused her to experience that rage before. Laura Lee continued to make a bloody scene in the park where the two lovers had been found. When the police arrived, they also fired on Laura Lee. At least the police knew to back off when Laura Lee wouldn't die. Unfortunately, the remaining posse refused to listen to them and was finished off by Laura Lee. Now the enraged revenant gazed at the police, her body soaked and dripping with the blood of those she destroyed. Laura Lee frightened the when she held her fists high and screamed a horrifying, disembodied scream of pain for her lost melissand hell Weaver knew it was time to act. As before, she left her physical body as an astral projection and descended.

2:34:23 Soon she landed a short distance from Laura Lee. When the police beheld all that was hell Weaver, they lowered their weapons. Somehow they understood they were no match for the goddess be gone, hell Weaver ordered them. When they hesitated, she used her eye beams to hurry them along. Once the police got back into their vehicles and left, hell Weaver turned her attention to Laura Lee. Hardy Laura Lee's fists were still clenched as she bellowed another disembodied scream at hell Weaver. Then Laura Lee heaved, ready to attack the goddess. I can offer you an opportunity to gain your love back, Laura Lee. Hardy, hell Weaver said. Laura Lee pointed right at her. You do not talk to me in that way. These bastards killed my Melissan, and you wish for her to be alive and well again.

2:35:41 This is why I shall offer you a second chance to potentially win her back. I want Melissan back and alive now, Laura Lee screamed at the top of her lungs. Hell Weaver folded her arms in front of her. I could easily restore your love back to you as she was before, but I feel that even you could not afford such a high price. Believe me when I say that you are better off taking the second chance that I offer. Should you change your life for the better, you may regain Melissan La Paula, and perhaps a better life for the both of you. And if I fail, laur Lee demanded, showing she wasn't oblivious to how this demonic goddess worked, then your soul shall become mine in reservation for a total of two. Upon capturing the final soul, then I shall return to claim.

2:36:57 Yours and one other. This is your one opportunity to gain your love back. Laura Lee Hardy choose. The pain Laura Lee felt over her lost Melissan was too much to bear. Yes, Laura Lee told hell Weaver to place her back on a day where the fatal accident in Shore City hadn't happened yet. As with the others that hell Weaver offered the second chance compact too, she warned Laura Lee about how fate was not so easy to escape from there. Hell Weaver kept her end of this latest bargain and honored Laura Lee's request. Five years ago, Laura Lee Hardy suddenly found herself in her original home in Shore City. She couldn't believe hell Weaver was powerful enough to bend the very fabric of space and time to be able to move her from her present day and back to this moment.

2:38:19 Laura Lee rested on her bed and saw her phone next to her. She picked it up and observed the date the fatal accident on Interstate seventy one would soon come. She vowed that accident would never happen, even if it meant her cruel older brother Aiden would live. Feeling an overwhelming sense of renewal, she got off her bed and left her room to go to the kitchen where her mother, Ridge was preparing breakfast. As if sent her presence, Ridge turned to her daughter, Laura Lee, did you get Aidan up like? I?

2:39:07 Asked? Before Laura Lee could answer, Aidan rudely shoved her aside. Laura Lee knows it'll be her ass if she comes in my room. Suddenly, Aiden snatched her phone. How many of your little girlfriends are you talking to today? God, damn it, Aidan. Laura Lee yelled give. Me my phone. Before Ridge could try and restore order. Aidan tightened his jaw and pointed to the phone as he addressed their mother. Look at this shit. She's clearly been seeing this, Deborah Layman. Girl. Laura Lee roared and rushed at Aidan, but he easily shoved her to the floor. Aidan stop. Ridge yelled, give Laura Lee back her phone right now. Aidan tightened his jaw and looked ready to kick Laura Lee as she was getting up. He didn't want to get on Ridge's bad side and through the phone at Laura Lee. As she managed to catch it, she remembered Aidan would find her and Deborah Leyman together at Shore City East High School at the football field. I'm leaving, Laura Lee told her mother. Aidan grabbed her arm.

2:40:30 No you ain't. You ain't getting with no more girls. Laura Lee broke his hold on her and glared at him what I do and who I talk to are none of your goddamn business. Not wanting to be around Aidan any more, and knowing she had to save Deborah, she quickly left the house. Laura Lee hid out of sight and texted Deborah she was right about Aiden coming outside to look for her. When he couldn't find her, he cursed before going back inside and slamming the door. Deborah responded to Laura Lee's text and agreed to meet her where she asked twenty minutes later. Laura Lee was a sophomore at Shore City East High School at this point. Unfortunately, Aiden was a junior there, which was why she arranged to meet Deborah in the varsity girl's locker room instead of near the football field. When Deborah saw Laura Lee, she approached her fast Laura Lee's eyes widened when Deborah wrapped her arms around her and kissed her, But then she remembered they were seeing each other at this moment and time.

2:42:02 When they finally parted, they faced each other. Laura Lee warned Deborah that she was in danger and explained that Aidan would come for her. When Deborah said she wasn't afraid of him, Laura Lee tried telling Deborah that he was obsessed and would stop at nothing to make their lives hell. Laura Lee's eyes widened when she saw someone coming at them fast. Deborah move. Laura Lee shoved Deborah out of the way as Aidan raised the crowbar to strike.

2:42:43 Laura Lee barely heard Deborah scream when Aidan struck her hard on the side of her head. Laura Lee felt dizzy as she reached out for Deborah. Everything faded to black as Laura Lee dropped to the floor. Time unknown. Laura Lee woke up in bed in a strange house. You're okay now, Laura Lee, someone said nearby. Laura Lee gasped when she sat up and saw August Boldman, the first person she killed in Green Lawn Cemetery. Upon her resurrection in her former timeline, sitting in a recliner. How how did I get here, Laura Lee stammered. August explained how Deborah ran into him and begged him for help.

2:43:54 She asked me to call an ambulance for you. I didn't have my phone, so Deborah went to the office. He further explained how Laura Lee was loaded into the ambulance and taken to the hospital. But how am I here, Laura Lee persisted. Deborah and I brought you here, August answered. When we came to visit you at the hospital the next day, the nurse said you got up and left. After confirming you didn't go home, Deborah and I looked for you. We found you disoriented in Gunter Square. Deborah couldn't keep you at her house, and she didn't want you going back home to your brother who hit you.

2:44:44 I told Deborah you could stay here. He leaned forward, How are you feeling? Much to her surprise, she felt much stronger and got off the bed. I'm okay now, August asked Laura Lee more questions before agreeing to them attending school together. Fifteen minutes later, when Laura Lee and August arrived at school, they found Deborah Leyman at her locker along with the others in her circle of friends.

2:45:27 Laura Lee remembered Arnie Razor Rathman, the rumbling giant with a good heart, and saw he still cared when he smiled. She also remembered brit Speedman and Belinda Bright, especially Belinda, and then there was melissand La Paula. At first, Laura Lee wanted to reach out to her, but decided against it, remembering she would have to win Melissan's love all over again. When Deborah saw Laura Lee and August, she gave them a warm smile. I'm so glad you're okay, Laura Lee.

2:46:11 She assured her that she was. Then Deborah revealed that Aiden had cornered her and demanded to know where Laura Lee was. Fortunately, they were in public so he couldn't attack her. In fact, when Laura Lee looked at the date on her phone, she knew she had saved Deborah. However, the day of the Interstate seventy one accident was dangerously close. Two days later, Laura Lee remembered the events on this particular Saturday prior to the accident. She also remembered being with Misty Blint in Strickfield two years later, then entering into a forbidden love affair with her older sister Cheryl just after Misty was murdered by her Aiden personality. But that romance ended when Cheryl teamed up with Taylor Miren to take her down while the Aiden personality was in control again. In fact, Cheryl was the one who finally killed Laura Lee. By preventing what was soon to happen, Laura Lee would never move to Strickfield or meet anyone there.

2:47:42 The legacy of the prom Queen Killer would never be born. Suddenly, Aiden burst into Laura Lee's room. What little girlfriend are you talking to now? When Aiden came at her, Laura Lee quickly got off her bed to keep it separating them. Give me that phone. I want to know who I got to beat up. He yelled, I know you're still getting it on with other girls. When Laura Lee wouldn't answer, Aidan revealed a baseball bat. That's fine, I don't mind making you bleed again. Laura Lee felt her anger growing I told you before, none of your goddamn business. Now get out of my room. Aidan couldn't believe what he had just heard. What you say to me, dyke. He raised the bat. Hul come on over there and fuck you up. When Aidan came around Laura Lee's bed, he raised the bat again. When he swung, she surprisingly caught it.

2:48:56 Even more surprising, she turned her wrists slightly to snap the wooden bat in two. Without realizing it, she snatched his throat and easily lifted him off the floor. Aidan struggled to break loose as she found she could walk him to her doorway and dump him out in the hall. Just then, Ridge was right on them. What is going on here? She demanded. We're supposed to go shopping, and Aidan quickly stood up and went at Laura Lee again. She stopped his fist by grabbing his wrist. Before Aidan could use his other fist, Laura Lee kicked his groin with her bare foot to send him to his knees. Laura Lee let go of Aidan's wrist and punched him hard enough to make sure he felt it. Ridge quickly inserted herself in between them and yelled stop this. Aidan slowly sat up, holding his groin with one hand and his jaw with the other.

2:50:08 He gave Laura Lee a look, saying that he would never leave her alone. You and Aidan can go shopping to day. She told her mother, I'm not going. Ridge admonished both of her children, mostly Aidan, for always bullying Laura Lee. Overall, she told them they could either start getting along or they didn't have to stay with her. Aidan pointed up at Laura Lee, I ain't getting along with no lesbian. I'll kill you first. Just then the door bell rang. Aidan sprang in front of Laura Lee to intercept Deborah. Except when Aidan answered the door, is Laura Lee home? A guy asked, August. Hi. Laura Lee replied and invited him in. Then she took his hand. Yeah, Mom, I wanted this to be a surprise. I'm actually going on a date with August. He smiled softly and said to Ridge, Yeah, I just came by to get Laura Lee.

2:51:24 I hope that's okay. When Ridge nodded, Laura Lee went back into her room. When she came back out, she headed for the door, not waiting for her mother to say anything more. She left the house with August. Aidan tightened his jaw and wondered what was Laura. Lee up to. Two years later, Laura Lee was a senior. Now, she couldn't believe how close she and August Boldman were. When August made the first move and kissed Laura Lee on that supposed first date, she surprisingly returned his affection. She couldn't believe the way he made her feel. Now they were spooned up in his bed under the covers. She accepted her second chance with hell Weaver to rekindle her love with melissand La Paula, but her new choices caused her to have honest to goodness feelings for a guy.

2:52:38 In fact, this wasn't the first night they had slept together. Now she was living with August. Funny, she had never once seen his parents, but she didn't care. As for school, she was in with his group now. At first, things were a little rocky between her and Deborah Leyman, but they talked it out. When it was agreed they weren't really dating, they came to an understanding. As for Laura Lee and August, they became a high profile couple at Shore City East High Principal Theodore Gastor even scowled at them whenever he'd seen them together. Rhyese Claiborne and Ali Prince now had Laura Lee in their sights. Unfortunately, they gave themselves away to her, especially when they had no idea they were dealing with a future version. Remembering their reign of terror from before, Laura Lee targeted the two of them. In time, Laura Lee learned what Jim Ali worked out at. Since Laura Lee herself didn't have a membership, she had to break in. She knew where the cameras were being controlled and disabled the system. With Ali all

2:54:10 alone on a late Saturday night and no one around, Laura Lee surprised her by grabbing the barbell she was lifting and pushing down enough to strangle her to death. Ali was a musclewoman, but Laura Lee proved to be stronger. Laura Lee wiped everything she touched for Prince and reapplied Ali's to the barbell before leaving. Ali's death was ruled an accident. Laura Lee decided she really didn't need to kill Rhyese Clairborne. Without Ali Prinz, the ultra rich Girl's threats became empty and idle since it was just one of her against the rest of the student body. With the biggest threats eliminated, there was nothing to stand in the way of Laura Lee's happiness with August, or so she thought. One week later, Laura Lee and August were leaving school holding hands. When the couple reached his house, someone ran up to them and hit Laura Lee from behind with a tire iron. When Laura Lee found herself

2:55:40 on her hands and knees, she heard August fighting her attacker. Then she heard August's groan and knew her attacker had knocked him unconscious. Guess I did what mom said, Laura Lee, Aidan yelled. So how many times Mom got on me about going out and looking for you since you ran away? Do you? Aidan swung and caught Laura Lee across the face. When she turned onto her ear. Now she was flat on her back. I'm so sick of. Mom loving you more than me, Aidan continued. I'm the right one here. You're the one who's sick in the head getting with other girls. He pointed to August. He ain't full of me using this asshole here as some kind of beard. Aidan kept beating Laura Lee with the tire iron as she kept trying to get up, stay down, Aidan roared, Or don't that's fine with me? I'll just beat you down like I did before when I caught you and Deborah Layman that day. He ain't getting with no more girls, leave her alone, August yelled. Laura Lee looked up to see August resume his fight with Aiden.

2:57:09 This gave Laura Lee more than enough time to get back to her feet. Aidan hit August with the tire iron again. Then he forcefully kicked August in the stomach, causing him to hit the side of his house hard and fall forward. Aiden raised his tire iron to smash the back of August's head. As he was getting up, Laura Lee snatched his wrist to make him cry out and drop the iron. Then she made him cry out more when she forced him to his knees. Aiden kept resisting her and tried to get back up. Laura Lee stopped him abruptly by simply turning her wrist, which broke Aidan's form, causing the bones to protrude through the skin.

2:58:05 Aidan screamed at the overwhelming pain, but Laura Lee wouldn't let go. You know, you could have just been your usual bigoted douchebag self and told mom you weren't going to look for me. Period, but you clearly came after me to kill me and maybe even my boyfriend. That's right, Aidan, I'm actually in love with this guy. Laura Lee snatched Aidan's jaw with her free hand. You will always be a danger to me and whoever I'm with. Just so we're clear, you're not going home. Aiden groaned hard when Laura Lee stuck her fingers in his mouth and began pulling hard on his jaw. Stop. Aiden groaned, grabbing Laura Lee's arm with his good hand. Ah. With one good, hard yank, Laura Lee ripped Aidan's jaw clean from his face and skull. When she let him go, Aidan was frantic as he gurgled his screams while his tongue wriggled and lashed wildly. Aidan fell over, went limp, and bled to death. When August came around, he saw Aidan's jaw

2:59:35 in her hand with blood all over it. Then he saw Aidan's body and knew what Laura Lee had done. She dropped the jawbone and began to cry at knowing she might lose August. You don't understand, Laura Lee protested Aidan. Would I never have left us, alone. I had to kill him. August didn't seem too upset and looked down at Aidan's corpse. It's okay, Laura Lee held herself. What do we do now? August moved to her and held her close. Sh It's okay, no one else needs to know.

3:00:29 When Laura Lee looked at August, they shared a long, passionate kiss. When they finished, they worked together to cover up Aidan's murder. Later, it was dark by the time Laura Lee and August returned to the house. They went in and headed upstairs. We'd better clean up, August suggested, turning on the light in their bedroom. Laura Lee caught his meaning and started to undress. She knew intimacy with August was just what she needed to help take her mind off of killing Aiden. She let her t shirt drop and moved her hands behind her back to unhook her bra Then she saw something strange on August's desk.

3:01:34 What's that, Laura Lee asked, moving to it nothing, August replied quickly. Come on, Laura Lee, let's go have some alone time in the shower. Laura Lee opened the ancient looking book and saw the pages written in another language, Much to her surprise she could understand them. Laura Lee became angry and turned to August. This is a hell Weaver Bible. Why do you have it? When August didn't answer her, she became angrier. Are you working with hell Weaver to take my soul? August raised his hands up in front of him. I don't know what you're talking about, honey.

3:02:27 When Laura Lee saw August's eyes, she knew he would try to flee the room. As he made his attempt, Laura Lee grabbed him and slammed him against the wall. Why do you have a hell Weaver Bible, Laura Lee demanded again. Have you been working with hell Weaver against me this whole time? I thought we loved each other. Why. When Laura Lee's eyes glowed hot with anger, August came clean. I found the book at a secondhand bookseller at the start of sophomore year. I was surprised I could read it, so I bought it. Then I brought it home and summoned my hell Weaver. I made a bargain with her for my warlock powers. If you made a deal with my hell Weaver, I swear I don't know anything about it.

3:03:27 Laura Lee leaned in so that their noses almost touched. You're still not telling me everything. I swear I'll break every bone in your body before I let you claim me for hell Weaver. Now tell me the truth. August took a deep breath. You died that day when AIDEN found you with Deborah in the varsity locker room. I told Deborah I'd stay with you while she went to Principal Gaster's office to call for help. You you died shortly after. That's when I used my new powers to bring you back to life as my revenant, my protector, my lover. He took another deep breath. I've wanted you for so long, Laura Lee, but you were only into girls.

3:04:26 Thanks to the powers my hell Weaver gave me, I got everything I ever wanted, you most of all. Laura Lee gasped when she understood everything. So that's why I came to love you, even though I returned from alessand La Paula. I truly thought I'd fallen in love with you naturally, but you manipulated me all along. She suddenly punched a hole in the wall next to his head. How long were you and hell Weaver plotting against me? August, I won't ask again. August shook his head slowly. Laura Lee, I seriously never made any deal against you. Do you have your own deal with my hell Weaver? If you do, I don't know anything about it. I just told you I've been serving my hell Weaver for a long time.

3:05:26 How do you think I had the power to bring you back to life. I knew it had to be you who killed Ali Prince and Aiden. I know you killed him to protect us. Laura Lee shook with both rage and hurt. But you manipulated me into loving you, knowing I could never love a man. August was afraid. Now, Laura Lee, please don't be this way. We love each other. We can make this work. Laura Lee began to cry at remembering how she loved melissand La Paula now Melissand was in a relationship with Arnie Rathman and would never love her back. She also remembered hell Weaver's warning about fate.

3:06:17 She had killed August in her original timeline upon her resurrection. Now Fate came back to bite her real good in this new version of her life. It's over, August, Laura Lee growled, you used me for your own selfish desires. You kept me from my destiny. Hell Weaver will take my soul for sure. Now you die. When Laura Lee went for the killing blow, August ducked and escaped the bedroom to move downstairs. When he saw Laura Lee at the top, he pointed up at her. Stop. I restored your life. I can just as easily take it away, not before I kill you, Laura Lee disagreed. August sneered he won't reach me in time. My parents certainly didn't when I gave them to my hell Weaver in exchange for my gifts. Laura Lee saw they were a good fifteen feet apart when August began his spell. No, Laura Lee choked when she felt herself glowing and desperately leaped down the stairway. Unfortunately, August completed the spell. Laura Lee stopped still as she landed in front of him. She

3:07:48 shook for a moment before she felt the power that had resurrected her into a revenant, leaving her. Laura Lee blacked out and fell to the floor at August's feet. From there, he lowered himself and claimed the orb that rose from Laura Lee's now lifeless body. Then hell Weaver appeared beside him, My hell Weaver, August said, in surprise. Did you make a deal with Laura Lee too? Hell Weaver responded, I did nothing for you to be concerned about.

3:08:31 August knelt before hell Weaver and kissed his goddess's hand. What is your command? Arise, August Boldman, and continue with your work as I have instructed you. Yes, my hell Weaver, August replied gratefully and stood up. Then he presented Laura Lee's orb to her. Are you here to claim Laura Lee's soul? It's yours. You may keep it in your possession until I require it. August nodded once, yes, my hell Weaver. From there, hell Weaver vanished and returned to Perdition.

3:09:18 August wanted Laura Lee back. He figured he could at least cast another spell and make her his girlfriend again, at least until hell Weaver would return to claim her soul. Perdition Sin seemed angry upon her mother's return. Why would you allow that pathetic weakling to serve you, mom? Hell Weaver answered, he is most loyal to me and has proven his worth many times. He has not yet re tis full potential, but he shall, with my guidance, understand that all who serve me have their uses. Would you have me claim your life?

3:10:13 Sin? You said so yourself that you have failed me twice, and you serve me, do you not? Sin nodded once. I understand, Mom, and I'm sorry. Hell Weaver caressed the side of her face again, like August Boldman, you still have much to learn. Sin became eager again. You now have two souls who shall be your last conquest in the final contest, Hell Weaver smiled gleefully. I have given this a great deal of thought. After much considering, I shall choose a fellow immortal, Bella Tabon. Sin suddenly became enraged to wear. Her hair burst into flames and stood up defiantly against her mother. Are you a fool? She pointed to the infinity core. Why would you offer Bella Tabon a second chance? A Tabon is not so easily defeated.

3:11:31 Hell Weaver remained patient. Once again, you have much to learn, As your loving mother, I shall have the utmost patience and teach you. Sin's body now burned with fire, do you not wish to escape perdition where you have been imprisoned for so long, her fire raged hotter with her anger, found and brought you that lost Tabon tome to give you the second chance compact and finally free you. She screamed as fire burst from her body. You shall have no claim to the souls that you've won should you fail against Bella Tabon. Sin ascended slowly as she roared why are you fighting with me? Soon? Sin's fire diminished with her despair. She fell and landed on her knees as she began to cry, I just want to free you, Mom.

3:12:40 I feel as though my efforts are meaningless to you. Hell Weaver still remained patient. Arise, my baby, that I may teach you for soon it shall be the end game and Bella table shall become the final piece of your puzzle. Join me at the Infinity Corps again and learn. Sin rose to her feet and obeyed her mother. Deep down, she still had doubts at the same time, she remembered that.

3:13:23 Her mother was the hell Weaver. When they were seated again, Sin conceded to her teach me, Mom, that I may understand. Hell Weaver smiled devilishly at knowing that both the endgame and the next stage of her master plan were about to begin. They watched the history of Bella Tabon. As the Goddess explained this crucial step of her master plan. Bella Tabon's life was not an easy one. Just being a pure blooded Tabon assured that Bella began her training when she was just three years old.

3:14:15 The Tabon family lived within the safety of Ravenhenge, the ancient homeland that was built by the first known as Iomere. By the time Bella was six years old, she was a trained killer. Of course, she would never take innocent people. Her older brother, Nicholas often chastised Bella for never being on his level and called her the runt of the Tabon litter. However, Solomon and Anathea, their grandparents, found ways to better them through their best attributes. With Bella, she would prove to be crafty and clever, earning the nickname of little Devil by Anathea. She could often get under Nicholas's skin with just her craftiness and unwavering determination alone. Unfortunately, the Tabon family had an adoptive daughter they were raising, named Cassilia. Though she carried the Tabon name, Bella blamed her for her parents deaths and would never acknowledge her as a member of the family. Things got worse when Bella discovered that Nicholas and Cassilia were secretly involved romantically.

3:15:52 The Tabon family had been reduced through the years by a powerful master vampire known as Thornton Gillian. The day came when he actually crossed the boundaries of Ravenhenge himself and attacked the family. Bella learned that he had help when Cassilia revealed herself to be both the betrayer and Gillian's lover, revealing her naturally evil nature. Cassilia watched as Gillian decimated the rest of the family with the exception of Bella. Gillian had injured her but left her alive to be the last Tabon. Determined to end Thornton, Gillian and Cassilia, Bella trained on her own. Through her physical and emotional pain, She learned and perfected new fighting techniques and magics in preparation for her final battle with Gillian.

3:17:03 When she felt she had trained enough, she set out to find him. Along the way, Bella found Cassilia and bested her. Unable to destroy Cassilia because of her alien attributes, Bella could only place her within a crypt where she was bound by a crucifix and staked through the heart. If Bella could not truly destroy Cassilia, then she would imprison and incapacitate her. Bella destroyed all of Thornton Gillian's tribes until he himself was forced to confront her in a final contest. Bella fought valiantly against Gillian and sustained heavy injuries, but she had finally succeeded in Thornton Gillian two.

3:18:03 Weak from her battle, Bella passed out. Unfortunately for her, blood from Gillian's corpse dripped and poured into her wounds. Mixing with her pure and special Tabon blood, Bella awakened, renewed, and transformed into a unique master vampire. Realizing she was both a non blood drinker and a day walker, she used her new powers to continue the Tabon family business of stopping malevolent supernatural forces from harming innocence. Bella would learn newer ways to fight in her immortal years of walking the earth. Her greatest attribute was that, no matter what happened that could spell the end of her life, Bella simply couldn't seem to die. She currently resided in Strickfield with her friend, Aileen Donnerly, whom she had taken on as her partner against the supernatural. Bella herself had been aware of the hell Weaver from her teachings in Ravenhenge.

3:19:25 When the events ended, hell Weaver made her daughter smile from ear to ear upon finishing her explanation of her master plan. Now do you understand, Sin, Hell Weaver asked, yes, Sin hissed excitedly. Forgive me for my outburst earlier. Mom time and time again. I have told you that I must teach you. Now it is time to continue my master plan. Hell Weaver stood, I shall go to Bella Tabon at once, gaze into the Infinity cores and watch.

3:20:08 I assure you that Tabon shall accept my offer. See if I am not correct, I shall, Sin said, barely able to contain her excitement. Hell Weaver again assumed her astral projection and left Perdition to meet up with Bella Tabon. Present day perspective, Bella Tabon, Ainie and me are cleaning out a vampire nest just outside Strickfield. Felicia Mern, the mutant Spider Girl, has been helping us out on our missions.

3:21:04 Between the three of us, we take down a lot of vampires. When Ainy saw that article in the Strickfield Journal about a school bus full of cheerleaders from Ridgeway Heights that disappeared in the area we're in now, she quickly came to me. From there we contacted Felicia. The nest was numerous with the addition of the cheerleaders. Unfortunately, there was no saving them since they claimed innocent blood to seal their transformations. After we finished clearing the nest, Felicia webbs the whole house and brings it down. Then I use my cheap parlor tricks to start a roaring bonfire and burn all that timber, making sure no vampires are left. Hain't it funny? Three Strickfield High cheerleaders against the Ridgeway Heights cheerleaders, and it ain't even about sports this time. Suddenly a bright light appears near us. If I could pee, i'd have wet myself. You, I shriek, Hell Weaver smiles.

3:22:16 You know of me? Bella tabon good? Then no introductions are necessary. Who's this Bell's Ainy asks in her mousy voice. It's her. I barely managed to say, She's the hell Weaver. Ainy and Felicia know I ain't kidden and prepared a fighter. Hell Weaver looks annoyed. Your powers and weapons are useless against me. Stand down. I did not come for battle. My say is with you, Bella, Tabon, I vamp out and raise my claws. You want my soul, you'll have to kill me first. Again, Aini and Felicia are ready to fight by my side. Hell Weaver again looks annoyed. There shall be a contest today, Tabon, but not in this manner.

3:23:19 I am here to offer you a second chance to change your life for the better. Ainy points right at her bells will never I shift back to my human form and quickly raise my hand. Heini, don't provoke her. You got no idea what hell Weaver here is capable of. Wisely spoken, the demonic goddess says, I show her I got brains too. You think I don't know what you're doing. I don't know how you found our families lost home, but I know you're using the second chance compact. Quite correct, hell Weaver assures me. You might be surprised at what my daughter is capable of finding, especially when it was your family's lost tome and now I freely offer you a second chance. I narrow my eyes on her. You claim two souls, you need one more, allowing you to escape from your prison in Perdition. I tighten my fists and shake you think I don't know why you chose me specifically, hell Weaver chuckles, and you shall accept my offer.

3:24:44 I know your family and its legacy all too well. Exactly why would Bella accept? Felicia snaps. I answer her question because hell Weaver here knows I can't refuse. Now. Aini and Felicia turned to me and shrieked together. What bells? Why? Ainy yells if this hell Weaver is everything you've told me? Because if I don't accept, she'll just offer the second chance compact to someone she'll easily get her third soul from. I sigh.

3:25:24 I can't allow hell Weaver to escape Perdition. She's the single most dangerous threat to the entire multiverse, even worse than Patrick Gunter. That would be entirely on me if she got out of Perdition just for refusing the compact, I ain't got a choice. Felicia's jaw drops and her eight legs kinda shake, like she might have just found out her fiance cheated on her or something. Then she says to hell Weaver, you truly are a vile, horrible monster. Silence mutant. You do not speak to me unless I command it. This correspondence is between Bela Tabon and myself.

3:26:10 I raise my hand in front of me. You guys, please, Then I look at hell Weaver, fine and fuck you, I accept. Hell Weaver chuckles again. Of course you do. Now, all that I require is for you to tell me where I shall place you in your past. From there you shall have your opportunity to change your life for the better. I point at her. I know you're up to something. You have shown intelligence to determine why I might have chosen you. She replies, But the real question is can you truly determine my master plan and the role that you play. I will win your game, I promise her. You're staying in perdition. Hell Weaver laughed scornfully. Enough, talk where shall I place you? And know that I shall not interfere in any way? Why would I when it is not in my best interest to do so?

3:27:28 I got to think for a moment. Then I remember the day in eighteen eighty nine when I became a master vampire and Thornton Jillian had the last laugh on me. I swore revenge when he slaughtered my family, leaving me as the last Tabon. It was our battle where I killed him. First, I staked him by putting him on a tree spike. Then I decapitated him. I was badly hurt and passed out from injuries and blood loss. Jillian's blood dripped from his neck and into my injuries, turning me while I was unconscious. Since then I used my new powers to continue the Tabon way and save innocence.

3:28:21 My quasi undead life was never a happy one. However, it was through meeting Aileen Donnerly and establishing my friendship with her that gave my life meaning beyond being a tabon. I tell hell Weaver where to place me. Suddenly Iine comes and throws her arms around me. I hug her back. I'm sorry, but I ain't got a choice. When we come apart, she's crying. Please find us when you return. I could never forget you, Iini, I glanced. It's over my shoulder or you, Felicia. The giant spider points right at me. You just make damn sure you Win. I look at hell Weaver, I'm the last one. You can only offer the compact to five beings. When I beat you, You're gonna stay in perdition from there. You can't use the compact ever again, unless another way has already presented itself for me to escape. Even should you change your life for the better, hell Weaver counters, but be assured that I shall have my three souls required. Try as you will, you shall never determine my master plan. And now, Tabon, I'm leaving present day as I know it forever. Eight

3:30:00 eighty nine, I wake up in bed at the Tabon family home in Ravenhenge. Suddenly I smell the familiar sense of breakfast I'd never forgot in all my years here, and I ain't breathing. I shoot out of bed and go to my full length mirror. When I don't see another me staring back, I'm confused. I should be human again in eighteen eighty nine, but I'm still quasi undead. I'm still tainted with Thornton Jillian's vile blood. Also, I remember everything Graham's once told me. The second Chance Compact lets you keep your current brain when you go back.

3:30:56 My heart beats faster when I hear, hey, hey, runt, you coming down for breakfast. That's Nicholas, my asshole older brother. Oh but I don't care. I changed my clothes and race downstairs to find the family in the kitchen. Graham's got breakfast ready. I go sit next to Grams. Better eat good, little devil, he tells me. Then it's another day's training. Yes, sir, I reply. It feels like a vividly beautiful dream. But soon the Freddy Krueger of my dreams rears her head. Cassie, I gasp. Cassie's a vampire alien hybrid from Treylond, her home world. Our family took her as a deal with Dracula to save Grams. Cassie's actually Dracula's daughter, and her mother was Treylond Royalty. Cassie was only a year year old when our family took her, and she looked like she was four. She grew into a humanoid woman with long blonde hair past her ass and huge breasts, much like other traylonned females. She eventually seduced Nicholas and started sleeping with him, unbeknownst to any of us except for future me. Now Cassie approaches the

3:32:27 table and lowers herself enough to let Nicholas see her abundant cleavage, but her red eyes are right on me. Gramp says, we're facing off today and training. She gives me her evil smile. I'm going to. Fuck you up. Gramp stands up and points at her. You will show respect to your family, Cassilia. Cassie stands back up and glares at him. Then she turns and cassies refused to eat with the family for some time. Now, I remember she's getting her blood from innocence, and she'll betray our family to Thornton Jillian. I gotta stop her. Unfortunately, Nicholas is too pussy whipped to see through Cassie's evil. If I'm gonna save my family, I gotta stop her first.

3:33:29 Cassie wants to fight after breakfast, fine with me. Later. I faced Nicholas in sparring matches before. I'll admit he was always a better fighter, but he'd forget why Graham's nicknamed me little Devil. He ain't winning against me today. However, just when Nicholas thinks he's got me, I show I'm my future self with my worldly training. Boy is he ever surprised when I finally kick his ass. Where'd you learn those moves? Runt Nicholas demands, getting to his feet.

3:34:15 I smile, my cute little devil, smile. Want to go again now, Cassie appears. No, it's my turn. When this fight happened previously, Cassie beat me within an inch of my life. I'm ready to return the favor now, especially since I'm still a master vampire. By the way, we train in lower levels of the house, since Cassie can't be out in daylight. Cassie doesn't wait for Gramps to tell us to fight. She comes at me and starts laying into me. She wants to kill me because I know the truth about her. When Cassie started refusing to eat with the family, I'd wondered how she survived. When I heard Shore Village, long before it massively grew over the years to become Shore City, was finding dead bodies frequently, I knew. I investigated Cassie and found her washing herself in a lake. Her bloody clothes were on the ground, and she had blood all over herself. Unfortunately, I wasn't quiet enough. Cassie easily saw me with her night vision and gave me her evil stare, confirming what I knew about her killing innocence for food. Getting back to now,

3:35:48 Cassie shows her speed and lands hits on me. She sure ain't pulling her punches. At one point she clocks me good and knocks me on my ass. I'm quickly back on my feet and lay into Cassie myself. Oh the look on her face when she sees I ain't just gonna stand there and die for her. I love being my future self here. The more Cassie and me fight, the more our hatred for each other comes out. Cassie's learned from Gramps's training sessions, for sure, because she's giving me a good fight. But this ain't no sparring match. This is a fight to the death, and it's quite evident when Gramps tells us to stop fighting each other and we don't. Nicholas comes up behind Cassie and tries restraining her, but she throws him off easily. She goes full on vamp and comes at me again. Today you die, Bella.

3:36:50 Now we're truly locked in mortal combat. Okay, immortal combat. Cassie and me throw everything we got at each other. We're both just punching and kicking away. We can't keep our hands off each other. All the hate we feel is coming out here. We don't even listen to Gramps when he orders us both to stop, especially when we're damaging shit little devil. Gramps gasps when he sees how quick I heal up. When Cassie lands what would have been a lethal scratch on me, since the cat's out of the bag, I go full vamp myself. Boy, does Cassie ever shit When she sees why she ain't beating me so fast like she expected. We both scream and keep fighting to the death. When I remember everything Cassie did in my old timeline, especially learning she was secretly Thornton, Gillian's lover and our betrayer, I know I gotta stop her.

3:37:55 When we reach a wooden fence, I break off a few planks and put them together into a cross. Once I have faith, Cassie holds her hands out in front of her and screams. Then I touch my makeshift crucifix to her hands. Note this does not work on me, along with the other vampire weaknesses. Get away from me, Cassie shrieks, jumping back. Get away talk about sweet revenge. Cassie failed to kill me, just like before. Now she sees her hands are burned and glares right at me. This isn't over Bella. I will kill you, she swears, all of you. Gramps has finally had enough of Cassie and banishes her from Ravenhenge. The deal with Dracula be damned.

3:38:51 Cassie's still vamped out, ready to attack Gramps. I don't even think twice about it and warp in between Cassie and him. I grow a little when Cassie swipes her claws and catches me under my chest. When I heel up again, I know I got a stopper, and I especially don't care about the pact with Dracula. This is my family. With all the determination and hate I feel for Cassie, I scream and drive one of the fence posts right through her heart. Cassie gasps and just stares right at me. Eventually she falls onto her back and passes out. Grams and Nicholas are still shocked at seeing I'm a vampire myself. That's when Grahams appears next to me.

3:39:44 That's right, she's a vampire herself. Should have been obvious, seeing she looks twenty years younger than Gramps. That was the deal Dracula made with him after Thornton Jillian put Grahams on death's waiting list. Dracula couldn't have played the devil's advocate any better. That day, he promised Gramps he would save Grams if the family would take his daughter and keep her safe. He didn't even care if Gramps trained her as a tabon. Truly, Dracula cared for Cassie enough to entrust her to an enemy like Solomon Tabon, the patriarch of our clan. As a tabon. Gramps would have said no, but Anathea was his soulmate and he couldn't bear to be without her. He knew we kids couldn't either, and accepted the deal. Dracula sired Grams and taught her the vampire ways before releasing her back to Grams.

3:40:49 Even though she was a vampire now, Grahams was still Grams. Dracula handed Cassie over to Mom and Dad. Thornton Jilly and eventually learned of Cassie and planned his attack. When Gramp's figure Gillian was targeting Cassie, he contacted Mom and Dad and told him to bring all of us kids to Ravenhenge immediately. Long story short, Gillian intercepted my family. Mom and Dad fought against him valiantly, but Gillian killed them both before he could kill Nicholas and me and take Cassie Grams and Grahams arrived and fought him off. Okay, Cassie had no part in killing my parents, but she just never seemed to care. This was why I refused to call her family or cut her a brake. We would learn Cassie's alien half rendered her unable to care, and being a vampire made her much worse. She couldn't be redeemed. The old she got, the more evil she became, the more she only cared for herself. Come with me, little devil, Graham says in her motherly tone and takes my hand, Just touching Rams again. I can't help myself and come into her arms and cry, Oh honey, she murmurs,

3:42:23 holding me close. After I release my pain and anxiety of carrying my family's deaths with me all these years, I finally come out of her arms and face her. Then out of the corner of my eye, I see Cassie starting to move. Let's take Cassie to the dungeon and lock her up, Nicholas Grahams tells him. But then the steak comes out of Cassie like something was literally pushing it right out of her. Suddenly, Cassie gets back to her feet and vamps out again. I'm going to drink you up, she hisses at Gramps and Nicholas. I vamp out again myself, like hell you will. Cassie and me leap at each other again. She's so determined to kill the rest of the family that she becomes that much more dangerous. She claws my face, temporarily blinding me.

3:43:28 I feel my healing factor working. When I hear Cassie howling insanely, I quickly leap her way. I feel myself collide with her and take her down. That's when I have my eyes back. Now the family watches as Cassie and I continue our fight to the death. Cassie's no master vampire, but her alien side makes her just as strong as me. We continue our fight until the later afternoon, where both unstoppable and can push ourselves further than mortals. So much hatred between her and me, I haul off on Cassie and give her everything I can throw at her.

3:44:13 She betrayed our family. She turned to evil. One way or another. I will stop her, and then I see the means to stop her and lock her away. You will never give my family to Thornton Jillian, you bitch. I point at her. After I finish you, then I'm gonna kill him. I shift back to human form, and you can know that I was the one who ended you both. Cassie screams one more time and lunges right at me. I quickly duck and let her slam right into a tree. She screams again from the pain. This time, I's awe that sharp point sticking out of the tree and drew her in the second time. Today, I staked her.

3:45:09 Cassie can't pull the stake out and drops over. I hate you, she barely says, before passing out. There's no point in beheading Cassie since her alien side won't let her die. Once I saw her get beheaded, her head flew right back over her body and reattached itself like it never even happened. When I lift Cassie's body into my arms, Gramps tells me to follow him. We take her to the secret Tabon burial ground in Ravenhenge and place her within her own vault. There, her body will wither away like death and remain that way as long as some dumb ass doesn't open her vault and remove the cross or Steak. Go to hell, Cassie, I tell her when we close and lock her vault. Grahamson I don't say anything to each other, though I know the family will want an explanation for why I'm a vampire.

3:46:22 There's no point hiding it. After all, the whole point of my coming back to this time was to save my family, and God damn it, I will keep my family alive. And Little Devil is already putting her own master plan together. Eight months later, the day finally comes when Thornton Gillian attacks the Tabon family at Ravenhenge. Prior to that, I trained like I never trained in my life. I really let Gramps work me, never complained once. Nicholas still calls me runt, even though he knows I'm a master vampire. But I show him I can match him in fights. I know Nicholas has killed two master vampires by himself. Technically I killed one. In fact, the biggest threat to our family to date. I still remember how Thornton Gillian slaughtered what was left of our family. I already changed history by staking and binding Cassie during that initial fight. Cassie was seemingly on our side, then she turned on us. Nicholas was fighting Thornton Gillian and winning.

3:47:50 It was Cassie who distracted Nicholas long enough for Gillian to take his opening. And kill him. All Cassie had to do was flash her sexuality. Cassie herself didn't attack the family, but she shared in drinking their blood with Gillian after he slaughtered them. That was when I learned she was Gillian's lover. Well, Gillian's gonna be on his own when he comes for us. For a moment, I almost wonder if he will without Cassie helping him. Nope, this part of time does happen. I still never understood how Thornton Gillian crossed the barrier into Ravenhenge, which was how he caught us off guard before. When Gillian surprises Gramps while cutting firewood, I spring up out of my hiding place and surprise that bastard back.

3:48:49 Oh. I almost forgot Gramps was prepared too. You knew I had to tell the family everything about my final fight with Cassie. Funny thing. Grahams already knew I wasn't myself. Her magic's actually told her I was from the future. At first, Graham's forbade me to talk about it, but I had to disobey her and tell the family. When they knew I wasn't kidding, I laid out my plan. Of course, Nicholas was pissed at me. He always was a sexist pig, and no, he never once turned on me. He just wanted to be the big hero. No little runt turned master vampire.

3:49:37 The entire Tabon family in Ravenhenge comes and attacks Thornton Gillian. We're throwing everything we've got at the second most powerful master vampire to exist, with Dracula being the king. Jillian proves his power and keeps all of us on our guard. Graham's is doing the most damage to him. She's no w near as powerful as Gillian on her own, since he's got many more years as a vampire over her. Her magic, however, is the difference maker. Nicholas finally puts his sexist pride aside and works with me at one point, he lowers himself to all fours for me to leap onto him off his back to fly at Gillian. Unfortunately, I ain't as fast as I thought. Jillian easily sees me and moves to swap me away, but I warp right behind him and swat him away instead. When Jillian gets up, he warps to Nicholas and snatches him close.

3:50:39 No way, Lightning's gonna strike twice. I slip right underneath Nicholas and actually grab Jillian by the balls. Believe it or not, this very move is why Graham started calling me little Devil. Nicholas got over confident during a sparring match. He was clearly dominant over me, but I ended up doing to him what I'm doing to Jillian. If there's anything I learned in those days as the youngest tabon, it was a male's most vulnerable point. When Jillian's screaming. That shows even the second most powerful master vampire can be hurt when you attack those two little jingleberries. Jillian lets go of Nicholas. He didn't run though. When I grab hold of him from behind, Nicholas quickly wets a steak with holy water and drives it right into his heart.

3:51:36 Jillian screams again. He breaks my hold on him and knocks Nicholas away. Gramps comes to Gillian when I make him scream again after another squeeze down there and shoves a handful of holy wafers into his mouth. Gramps snatches me up before Gillian can and runs me to safety. He puts me down and gives me a weird look, you wicked little devil, I smirk. He always said to use my head. Gramps. Jillian is hurt bad and runs for it. It's time to put an end to this shit once and for all.

3:52:16 I run after him. What are you doing, little devil? Gramps yells behind me, this ends tonight. I yell back. I'm burning with determination to both end Jillian and make sure my family stays safe and alive. I just got them back, goddamn it. I'll die first before I ever lose them again. Knowing the Tabon family just sent Thornton Jillian running means he never got to slaughter them. Most of all, I will not be the last Tabon. Hour later, I finally find Thornton Jillian at one of his nests.

3:53:06 Good thinking go to a nest the family cleared out recently. Problem is, we tabons don't have stupid tattooed to our foreheads. When Jillian sees just lil old me, he smiles like it's Christmas. You never should have come at me alone, little girl. I ain't even the least bit scared. A lot has changed since the last time you and me danced together, asshole. Now I'm gonna show you just how much. Gillian gives me a weird look. You truly are a fool tabon. Had you and I ever battled one to one, I would have easily slain you. He bears his claws and vamps out again, as I shall do this very night. Soon.

3:53:59 The two of us are showing our considerable skills. Jillian seems surprised by my martial arts moves, even more surprised when I can match him for strength. Having my future brain and all my powers is a real difference maker. Like with Cassie, Gillian and me have a hell of a fight. Too bad, I don't have any of that liquid sunlight from when we had our final fight in my original timeline. Determination fuels me when I'm proving to be the dominant against him. I'm beating the living shit out of him. At one point, Jillian grabs hold of me and slices me below my chest, just like he did during our original final battle. I'm bleeding fast, but not for long, Thornton, Jillian will die this day. I will make sure my family lives know this. When you die, you son of a bitch, you made me into what I am today, It'll be your own power that'll be the end of you. Here and now, suddenly Jillian roars and gets back to his feet to snatch me to him.

3:55:10 I break his hold on me and grab him. I turn him around and throw him into the very same tree where I ended him in my original timeline. Jillian screams when the sharp branches come out through the front of his chest. He tries to pull himself free, but I don't let that happen. He glares right at me as blood seeps out of his mouth. I shall return bella Tabon. I shall find you and make a new, more powerful tribe using your womb. I raise my hands and give Jillian two middle fingers. I can never have children.

3:55:56 You saw to that yourself in a former life. And now I throw as much of my hatred and rage into my final blow against Gillian as I possibly can, and knock his goddamn block clean off. His head goes flying several yards into a field. I quickly move and retrieve the head. I return to Gillian's slain body and use my cheap parlor tricks to set the body on fire. Then I drop the head and set it on fire too. I know now that hell Weaver will never claim my soul, since I know I've bettered my life, I've saved my family, and the Tabon family bloodline is guaranteed to live on.

3:56:49 I hope you burn in everlasting pain and suffering while you're in hell. Jillian, two thousand and twenty. A part of me wondered if hell Weaver would come for me at some point. I waited and waited, but she never showed up. I ultimately wouldn't return to the present, I remembered until I got there on my own through the natural course of time. Even though I killed Thornton Jillian and burned his body twice, I'm still a master vampire. I don't get it. If Hell Weaver returning me to eighteen eighty nine didn't restore me to human, then shouldn't killing Jillian myself have restored me to human again. But no, I still have all my powers. I even learned some new ones over the course of my do over. I guess Thornton Jillian still has the last laugh on me.

3:57:53 After all, I returned to my family and told them what happened. Oh did I ever catch hell from everybody for going after Thornton Jillian all on my own. On a more positive note, since I still have my monstrous appetite, I can enjoy more of Graham's home cooking. Believe me, she don't mind feeding me. Speaking of time itself, I would eventually lose members of my family. Grahams and Nicholas both grew old and passed on when their times came. Grahams did offer to sire them, but they refused. By the way, Nicholas and I each found companions and got married.

3:58:38 Want to hear something really crazy. It was one thing for Nicholas and his wife to have kids since they're both mortals, But I myself actually had kids of my own with my husband. I definitely have stories to tell you about my marriage. Still, I guess I shouldn't bitch, since having kids is what keeps the Tabon family bloodline going. The kids Nicholas and I made with our spouses have since grown up and taken spouses of their own, and they are raising kids themselves. Then they took spouses and made babies too. As for Grahams, she became the new head of the Tabon family. My sister in law, Veda, would die of old age a few years after Nicholas.

3:59:29 After the family buried Veda, Grahams and I left Ravenhenge. Graham's magic's told her about strange things going on in the village of Strickfield, so we decided to move there. Since other vampires have been trying to get into Ravenhenge to gain Cassie's body, Grahams figured it would be better if we took it with us and kept it locked away. One week later, Grahams and I settled into our new house in Strickfield. At our private burial grounds, Cassie's body is locked in its new home inside a new burial vault, where it'll be safe and secure. I know more and more that I changed my life for the better. I got my family back right and we're still growing. Speaking of family, I got to keep my promise to AINI and Felicia and track them down. I still remember the exact times when I met both of them and can just position myself. Yes, there were other changes to my timeline, but many stayed the same. Hopefully things with AINI and Felicia can be the same again as before. I leave the house to run some errands for Grahams. When I'm crossing Gunter Square, there she is hell Weaver, standing just

4:01:03 ahead of me. She don't waste any time. I know you must think that you have defeated me. Bella Tabon, She raises her finger. I am here personally to assure you that you have not. I point back to her. I was your fifth and final soul in the compact. I changed my life for the better. You ain't getting my soul. Face it, hell Weaver, you lost. Hell Weaver laughs scornfully. Yes, you have made quite the new life for yourself, Bella Tabon. However, suddenly, this sucubus looking demon descends and lands next to hell Weaver. This is Sin, my daughter. She was the key to my salvation. This Sin looks just like her mother, only hell Weaver doesn't have a pointy tail. She's giving me a sinister smirk.

4:02:11 That's right, Tabon, and now my mother is free at long last. I tighten my fists. Bullshit, I glare at hell Weaver. You came to me with the second chance compact. I accepted it, and one which means you stay imprisoned in perdition. Hell Weaver chuckles. I see that you require proof of my freedom very well. Suddenly, hell Weaver's on me and grabs me. She's far too powerful for me to break loose. When she easily slams me into the ground with one hand, I can feel she ain't even trying as she beats the living shit out of me.

4:02:56 Soon she pins me down. I can't break free. Are you satisfied now that I am no longer imprisoned within perdition? Hell Weaver asks, I did indeed gain the three souls that I required to finally escape perdition? How the hell could you have done that? I demand, I was your final soul. I beat you now, I hear sin laugh. Hey, Tabon, you ever heard of loopholes? Ah? Yes, loopholes are so easy to find in print. Hell Weaver agrees, it is true that I did not gain your soul. However, this was never about your soul. Tabon you possess intelligence, figure it out.

4:03:50 What are you going to do? Kill me? Now, I yell, I could easily end your immortality this day, but I shall not. She lets me go and watches me get back up. Go find and form your new battle guard. You have until I have completed a new reality sphere and am ready to finally claim the multiverse. How did you gain your third soul? If it wasn't me, I demand again, you owe me that. Hell Weaver smiled very well. Believing that you might not retain your soul, one close to you offered to take your place. There is nothing written within the compact preventing that, hence the loophole. You were released from the Second Chance Compact to live your new life as you chose without consequence. Unfortunately, the one who agreed to take your place was not so fortunate, allowing me to gain my third soul, and now I am free once more. I leave it to you to learn who it was that took your place. Farewell, Tabon, we shall most certainly meet again. She turns to sin Now,

4:05:21 my baby, do you understand the importance of following the rules? Yes, you're so right, mom, Sin answers as they fly away together. I'm too weak to pursue them even at full strength. What could I do? Maybe I can stop sin but hell Weaver is a goddess. Now that she's free, the entire multiverse is on borrowed time. I pray that Aine wasn't the one who struck the bargain with hell Weaver, But who else could it have been? I waste no time in quickie. We head back home and tell Grahams everything.

4:06:03 After we talk, I leave the house to begin my quest of seeking out and putting together a new battleguard. As for Grahams, she's gonna call Ravenhenge and get someone in the family to come to Strickfield to help her. Whatever the case, hell Weaver must be stopped. Not the end, and that my spookyes was deadly Second Chances one of our finest horror tales of twenty twenty five. Now don't go getting too cozy, because this Wednesday is the final installment of our current winter mini series Banned and let me tell you, Spookies, it is deliciously mean, nasty and cruel.

4:07:04 Taking place at the first annual Horror snow In at the high Point Ski Lodge, a whole dealer room full of horror fans, autographs, selfies, movie stars, and ego. Then the weather turns nasty and the lodge starts feeling less like a convention and more like a locked room in a crime scene. Someone's got a grudge that goes all the way back to Ridgeway Heights, and they're not just hurting people, they're leaving a signature carved like a verdict band.

4:07:44 And when that voice hits the loudspeaker, when the blizzards keep the doors shut and the hours stretch on and on, that's when you realize the winter fun is over and the hunting begin. So make sure you're subscribed and I'll see you next time. It's always sooner than you think.
