After several days since Mona was last seen, Fiona was left in real rage… so much so that she took a three-week vacation, which she never did.
(opens)
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
She took a can, opened it, and began to drink.
Crane: "Damn it, Fiona… stop drinking… it's bad for your body."
Fiona: "Shut up… you're not my father."
She sat down.
Fiona: "Hahh…"
Not showered, barely slept.
Fiona: "I should've let them die… damn it… it's my fault they're dead!"
She threw the can away and broke a cup in the process.
Fiona: "Damn it!"
Crane: "Pull yourself together… pull yourself together, Fiona."
Fiona: "Just leave me alone…"
Crane: "I don't get you… I thought you didn't care what happened to people you don't know."
Fiona: "That's exactly the problem… I thought so too… but… why… why do I feel so empty… as if I'm the perpetrator…"
Crane: "Hahhh. You only pretend you don't care about others… don't you?"
Fiona: "(Hiccups)… hhhhh… I'm dizzy."
Crane: "You drank seven beers plus three bottles of alcohol… what did you expect?"
Fiona: "(Hiccups)… hahhh… why do people drink this stuff? I thought it would make me forget and feel better… but I see no change except my head hurts."
Crane: "… Your head hurts."
Fiona: "Hahhh… (Hiccups)…"
Crane: "You're really a strange girl… one moment you're happy, then sad, now drunk…"
Fiona: "(Hiccups)… hohhh… my stomach hurts… I think I need to… throw up… I need the bathroom…"
She stood up, staggered, and went to the toilet. One could hear her sit down.
Crane: "Oh… don't forget to pull your pants down to pee."
(the door opens)
Fiona: "Crane… I wet my pants."
Crane: "Damn it!!!!!"
Her pants were soaked in the back.
Crane: "Go shower… now… oh… am I a babysitter now?"
Fiona: "At least you're doing better than my parents."
She went in.
Crane: "Oh… don't lie down, shower standing up."
Fiona: "Why?"
Crane: "You could drown…"
It's actually possible. Please, if you're dizzy… don't shower lying down.
Crane: "Did you hear me?"
Fiona: "Ok…!"
(Splop!) (Splop!)
Crane: "Hahhh…"
(A few minutes later)
Fiona: "… Crane… can you… please give me my suits?"
She held out her hand only.
Crane: "Here."
He threw her the suit and the pants. A few seconds later she came out.
Fiona: "Ahhhh… oh dear…"
Crane: "Finally you showered… damn."
(Ding) (Dong!)
Fiona: "Who the hell is disturbing now?"
She opened the door.
Fiona: "Yes? … huh?"
"Oh… what's with you, Fiona… hello?"
Fiona: "ugh… Aunt… Elaine?"
Elaine is Fiona's aunt… a kind woman.
Fiona: "… Huh…"
Elaine: "What's wrong… long time no see, huh…"
Fiona: "Where does this change of heart come from?"
Elaine: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "(Hiccups)"
Elaine: "Damn, are you drunk… your mouth stinks horribly."
Fiona: "Sorry… my parents were too busy trying to kill me for the ritual to tell me beer is unhealthy."
Elaine: "Hahh…"
Fiona left the door open so she could come in.
Fiona: "Say what you want and go."
Elaine: "Why… did I do something?"
Fiona: "Sixteen years without visiting… hmm?…"
Elaine: "I'm sorry… I… thought it would be best for you if the academy took you."
Fiona: "Hmph…"
Elaine: "I know what they did to you."
Fiona: "You knew and still let it happen?"
Elaine: "Yes…"
Fiona: "Well… I was going to let you talk for five minutes… now I've decided… zero minutes… leave and never come back… otherwise this time I'll be the one to kill."
Elaine: "Please, Fiona, I'm sorry."
Fiona: "hmm… (Hiccups)…"
Elaine: "How much have you drunk?"
Fiona: "None of your damn business…"
Elaine: "You're full."
Fiona: "Just like your husband filled you and you had five kids… hehehehehe…"
Elaine: "Disrespectful… don't talk about John like that."
Fiona: "Yeah… yeah… (Hiccups drunk)… married you… (Hiccups)… and you forgot me right after… (Hiccups)…"
She stumbled toward the sofa.
Fiona: "uh…"
Elaine: "You didn't put your pants on properly… they're slipping…"
Fiona: "Hmm."
Elaine: "If this keeps up, people can see more… not good."
Fiona: "Don't worry… my butt is nice…"
Elaine: "(Sweats)… that's not the point, Fiona… it's not good for a woman to show so much."
Fiona: "Says the one showing half her breasts right now."
Elaine: "ghhhh… Fiona!…"
Fiona: "(Hiccups)… don't yell like that… I already hear enough screams of the dead."
Elaine: "What are you talking about!"
Fiona: "I have the Card of the Mysterious."
Elaine: "Oh… the Card of the Mysterious… damn… no wonder you're finished… you hear the screams of the dead every day…"
Fiona: "So… don't yell…"
She stood up again.
Fiona: "What do you want now…"
Elaine: "To see you."
Fiona: "Anything else?"
Elaine: "… Talk."
Fiona: "You've had exactly five minutes, thirty seconds, and four milliseconds."
Elaine: "Wow… amazing you can count time so well even drunk."
Fiona: "… go now."
Elaine: "I want to talk more and get to know you."
Fiona: "Hahahaha… aren't you sixteen years too late?"
Elaine: "Fiona…"
Elaine looked at her.
Fiona: "Hahhh… what do you want…"
Elaine: "Please…"
Fiona: "… mmmm… come in and sit down."
They sat down.
Elaine: "What's wrong… Fiona… did something happen…"
Crane looked at her.
Crane: "Oh it's nothing…"
Elaine: "Hello Crane."
Fiona: "You… know each other."
Elaine: "Of course I know him, he lived with us."
Fiona: "oh…"
Elaine: "What's wrong, Crane."
Crane: "Well there was a girl who wasn't doing well… Fiona saved her… and left… a few months later she finds her again only to discover she'd wiped out an entire family full of kids and joined Rapunzel's Forbidden Library."
Elaine: "Oh… dear…"
Fiona: "(Hiccups)…"
Elaine: "Fiona…"
She hugged her.
Fiona: "(Hiccups)… weird… you're still as warm as back then."
Elaine: "hmmm…"
Fiona: "Hhh…"
Fiona closed her eyes.
Elaine: "You poor thing…"
Fiona: "mmmm… it was my fault."
Elaine: "It wasn't."
Fiona: "Yes it was… I should've killed that girl instead of saving her."
Elaine: "Hmmm."
She stroked Fiona's hair.
Elaine: "You're also a human… humans make mistakes… it's normal…"
Fiona: "(Hiccups)…"
Elaine: "Come here…"
She held Fiona's head and let her lie on her lap.
Elaine: "Better this way."
Fiona: "(Hiccups)… I'm sorry… for behaving like that…"
Elaine: "It's okay dear… you're right to be angry at me."
Fiona: "(Hiccups)…"
Elaine: "Hehe… you're still a child, really."
Fiona: "Maybe."
Elaine: "Do you like it hmm?… when I stroke your head…"
Elaine stopped briefly but Fiona took her hand and placed it back on her own head.
Elaine: "Hehehe… you like it…"
Fiona: "mmmm…"
Elaine: "you're cute."
Fiona: "(Hiccups)…"
(A few hours later)
Elaine: "Alright I must go."
Fiona: "Oh… yeah… don't you want to sleep here… could be done."
Elaine: "No dear… I should've gone long ago… I waited until you felt better, Fiona…"
Fiona: "hmmm…"
She left the room.
Fiona: "(smiles)…"
She closed the door.
But she didn't know what was happening.
(A few hours later)
Elaine: "hmm there you are…"
Clown of Envy: "Hello… Elaine… and?"
Elaine: "You stupid brat was drunk."
Clown Of Envy: "Oh dear… should you really talk about your niece like that."
Elaine: "She should've died back then… like I planned with her parents… that was my plan… but really."
Clown Of Envy: "Do you have something planned."
Elaine: "I need the Card of the Mysterious… for you… of course… the same… we get it… I kill Fiona…"
Clown Of Envy: "Sure… killing her isn't necessary…"
Elaine: "Yes it is… my niece… I can do with her what I want… you shouldn't care, you get what you want."
Clown Of Envy: "… hehe… hehehehehe… ok."
(A few hours later)
Fiona: "Hahh…"
Crane: "You seem to have calmed down."
Fiona: "Mhm…"
Crane: "You like your aunt… could it be."
Fiona: "She… she's the only one I have left…"
Crane: "Hmmm…"
She left the store.
Fiona: "How about ice cream?"
Crane: "I won't say no."
Fiona: "Hehehe…"
She kept walking, as always wearing her dark jacket and hat with the staff underneath, wearing a brown undershirt… I mean suit.
Crane: "hmmm."
Fiona: "My vacation lasts a few more days… Lady Natasha allowed it… because I never did before, she gave me three weeks."
Crane: "Nice of her…"
Fiona: "There's no such thing in the Dark Umbrella… it's just because I work a lot…"
Crane: "Shouldn't you slowly start working with the others?"
Fiona: "Hmmm."
Crane: "There are some you could work with, Noelle, Daisy, Rika, Pinocchio, Pavel, of course also the new girl… what was her name again… Cruella?"
Fiona: "That was her name…"
She bought ice cream and started eating. Everything she eats also goes to Crane.
Fiona: "m… (quiet)…"
Crane: "Quiet as ever…"
Fiona: "What?"
Crane: "That's good…"
Fiona: "hmmm…"
Crane: "Are you planning to go back to work or take the whole vacation?"
Fiona: "Hmmm… no, I'll come back tomorrow…"
Crane: "Good…"
She stood up and started walking, eating along the way.
Fiona: "Hmmm… I wish I could just eat sweets."
Crane: "Sweet food isn't healthy."
Fiona: "I know…"
She kept walking when she suddenly heard something.
Fiona: "hmmm?"
It was her aunt leaving a shop.
Fiona: "Aunt?"
Crane: "I thought she had something to do?"
Fiona: "Yes… I'll go ask her."
She followed her into an abandoned building.
Fiona: "hmm?"
Crane: "That's an abandoned… house."
Fiona: "… wait a second… that's… my parents'…"
Crane: "Right…"
She went in quietly.
Fiona: "(What does she want here… did she forget something… but everything's been taken)…"
Aunt: "Haahhhhhhhh…"
She took off her jacket, underneath only an undershirt.
Fiona: "Huh?"
Aunt: "Mother of Sorrow… Mother of Pain… here I bring you the ash of a dead child… and the blood of a virgin… and the tooth of an old man…"
She drew a circle.
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Crane: "(That's a sacrifice ritual, it resembles…)"
Elaine: "… You're just in time… Fiona."
Fiona: "huh…"
She turned toward her.
Elaine: "Hehehehe…"
Fiona: "What is this… Aunt Elaine…"
Elaine: "Oh… an offering…"
Fiona: "… offering."
Elaine: "You are the offering…"
Fiona: "What… me…"
Elaine: "Hehehe… when I hugged you I placed a star symbol on your neck…"
Fiona: "ugh."
She pulled down her jacket and suit a little to see her neck.
Fiona: "ugh… the star of the Lost Prince!"
Elaine: "Exactly…"
Fiona: "What."
Elaine: "It will make you terribly injured… right… now."
(Splash!)
Fiona: "Urk… gahhh…"
She looked down… her heart lay on the ground.
(pump!)… (Pump!)… (pump!)
Fiona: "Urk…"
(Bleargh!)
She spat blood and fell to the floor… her heart still connected to her body by veins…
Fiona: "Urk… why… Elaine…"
Elaine: "hahhh… you disgust me… did you really think someone like me… would love you… your parents wanted to sacrifice you for the Fallen Guardian Rapunzel… but Holle killed them… only my ritual can't be disturbed… because."
She showed the chain… the chain of the Clown.
Elaine: "I have the power of the Clown… the Card of the Cursed… I even met him… the truth is… he gladly supports Rapunzel's Forbidden Library…"
Fiona: "Urk… but… why… ghhhh…"
Elaine: "hahhh…"
"I saw him though… he's unbelievably handsome… evil… but so charming… I fell in love with him right away… I'll do anything for him…"
Fiona: "You're possessed… you… bastard…"
Elaine: "You're the bastard here…"
She dropped the box.
Fiona: "Do you really think the Clown cares about you…"
Elaine: "I've seen him… my love…"
Fiona: "The Clown… never shows his true form, he must have taken on a disguise, that's well known about him…"
Elaine: "I don't care now, I'll kill you so he gives me more powers and thanks me…"
She closed her eyes.
Elaine: "hahh time for the ceremony…"
Fiona: "ghhh… huh."
She saw someone at the window… it was Mona… she put her finger to her lips. Shhhh…
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Elaine: "Alright then…"
She took out the card. It said "Siren."
Elaine: "Alright… my love… I'm sorry…"
Fiona: "…ghhhhh…"
Elaine: "But your parents never intended… to love you… for a sacrifice they needed a child of their own flesh and blood so they brought you into the world… but not because they wanted to… your mother called you plague… she hated your eyes… and your white and black hair… your voice… your father too, he called you project, he had no interest in opening up to you… your mother must have felt awful… giving you milk from her breast… and singing songs… ghhhh… just the thought of you smiling because you thought your mother loved you… makes me sick."
Fiona: "ghhh…"
She opened a box, inside a doll, she stabbed the doll.
Fiona: "urkk.. gahhhhhhhhh…"
Elaine: "That only hurts a little… now it's your heart's turn, but first I have to… move you closer to the circle… hehehe…"
She dragged her and laid her in the middle of the circle.
Elaine: "Alright… it should soon be ready…"
The circle began to move, an eye… was that… slowly opening.
Elaine: "Alright."
She turned around… but the box was gone.
Elaine: "What?… where's the box…"
Mona: "Looking for this?"
Elaine: "Mona… what are you doing here… give me the card."
Mona: "Why should I…"
Elaine: "Because that was the deal…"
Mona: "With the Clown… and the members of the Forbidden Library…"
Elaine: "You're new…"
Mona: "hahh… I won't let you harm Fiona, I joined the group on purpose and killed the members of the Scythe of the Grave to protect her…"
Elaine: "What…"
Mona: "Now you know my secret so I have to kill you!"
Elaine: "Then try it."
Fiona: "ghhhh… Dark… armor…"
Elaine: "huh!"
Suddenly Bob appeared and attacked Elaine; she blocked it with her umbrella.
Elaine: "ghhhhh… Armor… Bob… is that you… it's me… the… sister… your mistress."
Bob: "My… mistress is no longer Enna… but Fiona…"
Elaine: "ghhhhh…"
Mona: "Ghhhh…"
(Fishhh!)
Elaine blocked again.
Elaine: "Fine… as you want…"
Mona: "(nods)"
Bob attacked again; she blocked it.
Elaine: "But don't underestimate me…"
Bob: "I don't. I'm only the distraction."
Elaine: "What?"
Mona: "Hahhhh…"
She pushed Elaine toward the circle. The eye opened completely.
Elaine: "No….."
Eye: "hahahahahaha… hahahahahaha."
Elaine: "urk.. gahhhh.."
She held her head.
Elaine: "Stop… urk… gahhhhh….."
(Zwosch!)
She disappeared… only her clothes remained.
Mona: "hahhh…"
Fiona: "… Aunt… Elaine…"
Mona: "ugh… No, Fiona."
She moved toward the eye but Mona stopped her.
Mona: "No… no."
Fiona: "Let me go… she's all I have."
Mona: "She betrayed you."
Fiona: "I don't care… please… please… I don't want to be alone… please."
Mona: "Hahhh… Fiona… damn it, what's with you!"
She pushed her away.
Fiona: "urk."
Mona: "Hahhhh….."
Fiona: "ghhhh….."
Mona: "She betrayed you."
Fiona: "tsssss… I should've killed you… you joined the Forbidden Library of Rapunzel…"
Mona: "What… I joined the Forbidden Library of Rapunzel to protect you."
Fiona: "Sure…"
Mona: "You saved my life… that's why I did it."
Fiona: "You killed the family!"
Mona: "Hahh… I didn't, it was the Clown Of Envy."
Fiona: "Oh sure… of course."
Mona: "I only killed the woman, the children… he killed…"
Fiona: "ghhhhh..:"
Mona: "Hahhh…"
Fiona: "… but… but… Aunt… Elaine…"
Mona: "… hahhh…"
Mona knelt so she could hold Fiona's cheeks.
Mona: "You're not alone."
Fiona: "hhhh…"
Mona: "I… joined a group… called the Dark Crows…"
Fiona: "What?"
Mona: "They told me they want to help people… I work for them, they're great people… you even know one of them."
Fiona: "Huh?"
Mona: "Hehe… she's joined… Cruella."
Fiona: "hhä?"
Mona: "Doesn't surprise you… der Dark Crows… belong to the Dark Umbrella."
Crane: "That also explains why they also call themselves dark… she's really weird…"
Mona: "Fiona… did you really think I would help the people who want to kill you… you saved my life… for the first time I smiled because you cared about me… like a big sister…"
Fiona: "hhh…"
Mona: "Lady Natasha will explain the rest to you."
She stood up.
Mona: "Until then… bye…"
(A few days later)
Lady Natasha: "Hmm."
(door opens)
Fiona: "Hello?"
Lady Natasha: "Aha… there you are."
Fiona: "What's this, I thought I still had vacation."
Lady Natasha: "Hehehe… sorry… I had to…"
Fiona: "What do you want?"
Lady Natasha: "Surely Mona told you… about the little troop… the Dark Crows."
Fiona: "mhm."
Lady Natasha: "Well… the Council of the Dark Umbrella… has decided… that you join this group."
Lady Natasha looked at Fiona.
Fiona: "huh?"
Lady Natasha: "You're now… their new comrade…"
Fiona: "whaattttttt!!!
Lady Natasha: "Well not entirely, I'm the boss but you're the new comrade of the new group… by the way… sorry to tell you… Parzival and Noelle are also in it."
Fiona: "ugh!"
Lady Natasha: "So have fun…"
The door opened.
Fiona: "huh?"
Five members… Mona, Noelle, Cruella, Parzival, and Pinocchio…"
Fiona: "huh?"
Lady Natasha: "Don't forget… you're the right one for the group. I'm the boss, well there's also Edwardson, you know him too, he'll tell you what to do, missions and so on… which means you have a new boss… Edwardson…"
Fiona: "I'm confused…"
Lady Natasha: "Ahh… you're the leader for the missions but nothing more… your boss is Edwardson, you know him too, he came back from his long assignment… that means you have to listen to him… understood."
Fiona: "Hahhh… what if I say I don't want to join."
Lady Natasha: "Fine… then you'll have to go to another branch in Dronsen…"
Fiona: "No thanks… fine… fine…"
