Superior Splendor - Tyranny ErotiCake - Chapter 03
As the Hydra Noon flies in the air, it's immense size will be shown. As it races across the skies, within the enormous ship, Bijou, Chole, Isaac and Cassius will now be seen to be gathered in the hanger, as Perle, Sabrina and their new friend Divitiya will then come out of the Tyranny ErotiCake. As they do, Bijou will take a moment to admire the Tyranny ErotiCake's figure. She will speak.
Bijou Luisant
Well...THIS is quite a marvel of technology...
Bijou says, as she looks at the Tyranny ErotiCake. It's form will be that of power, with a face that strikes fear in all of it's enemies. Then, Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya will then approach. Perle speaks.
Perle Luisant
Mother!
Bijou Luisant
!
Now, Perle will then jump into Bijou's arms, as she shows happiness in greating her mother. Sabrina, however, will just approach Chole and Isaac like normal, to which Chole will then begin speaking.
Chole Madison
...Ahem...I can see that the two of you are unharmed.
Sabrina Madison
Ye-yeah...
Sabrina will instantly know exactly what her mother and father are going to talk to them about, to which she will respond with some worry in her voice. Perle also reacts, but tries to cover it up with being so happy. Bijou, however, sees right through her and begins speaking.
Bijou Luisant
...Perle. You can let go of me now...
Perle Luisant
But mother...I want to-
Bijou Luisant
Perle. Please let go of me so we can have a talk about this Superior Splendor.
Perle Luisant
!...Ok, I understand...
Bijou will say this in an angry tone-but she will simply care about the safety of her daughter and doesn't want to see her get hurt. Perle will understand this, to which she will now look up at her mother's face, to which Perle will see that Bijou is being serious. After a moment, Perle then complies with what Bijou just said, and then lets go of her. Perle then takes a step back, with a look of worry on her face.
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Now, Bijou speaks.
Bijou Luisant
Now that we have your attention, please explain to us exactly how it felt to move this Superior Splendor just now.
Perle Luisant
...Well...
Sabrina Madison
It was.....
Both Perle and Sabrina will now be unable to respond, as if they revel the truth about how powerful the thrust of the Tyranny ErotiCake was just now, they are sure that their parents will forbid them from controlling it. Then, Divitiya speaks up.
Divitiya Iran
...If you would allow me, I believe I should be the one to explain to you more about the Tyranny ErotiCake.
With Divitiya stepping foward, Isaac will then speak to her.
Isaac Carter
Ah...you said your name was Di..vi-
Now, Divitiya will introduce herself, slightly cutting off Isaac, as he is having trouble saying Divitiya's name.
Divitiya Iran
Divitiya Iran. I am a close friend to Chairwoman Francoise.
Now, Bijou will look at Divitiya. Divitiya will still be in her bodysuit, to which as Bijou looks at her, she will then speak.
Bijou Luisant
Are you the one who said that you were an "ally to Consumers" earlier?
Divitiya Iran
That's right, Bijou.
Bijou Luisant
...
Bijou will now be shown to be suspicious of who Divitiya really is. Thus, she will now speak to her instead of her daughter.
Bijou Luisant
...Alright, Divitiya. Can you explain to us what this ErotiCake is?
Divitiya Iran
Certainly...but, could we talk this over some drinks in the lounge? I think both Perle and Sabrina would like that very much.
Divitiya now tilts her head to look at both Perle and Sabrina. They are feeling parched, to which Bijou will then speak.
Bijou Luisant
Sure. Let's go.
With that, the scene will then transition to a small lounge area, to which now Charlotte will be shown. She will be just finished preparing a tray of food and drinks for everyone, to which she will then come over to a table and then set the tray onto the table.
Bijou Luisant
...So, the capabilities of the Tyranny ErotiCake are that powerful...
Divitiya Iran
Yes.
Bijou will say this, indicating that while everyone was waiting for their food Divitiya will have explained exactly what she just spoke of to both Perle and Sabrina. Cassius will then speak.
Cassius Maverick
I find it worrying that the designers of the Tyranny ErotiCake didn't care about the pilot's safety, Divitiya. Afterall, what you just explained to us are some incredibly dangerous specs.
Cassius says with a hint of disbelief in his words. Divitiya will then respond to him.
Divitiya Iran
I can understand your concern, Cassius. However, when those said designers were testing the Tyranny ErotiCake, they concluded that with enough training, those who devoted themselves fully to handling it could eventually master it. They believed that ideal enough to make this Superior Weapon the way it is now.
Divitiya's claim is true. However, Chole will then fire back with-
Chole Madison
But that mastery could come at the cost of the pilots lives, who are now going to be our children!
Perle Luisant
!...
Sabrina Madison
!...
Chole's outburst is well rooted, as she too also cares for the safety of her daughter Sabrina. Both Perle and Sabrina stay quiet, as Divitiya then has a private conversation with Chairwoman Francoice-who now contacts Divitiya via her secret comms.
Divitiya Iran
...Chairwoman Francoise? Are you seeing this?
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
Yes, Divitiya. Bijou and Chole are being reasonably protective of Perle and Sabrina, but I want those two to have the Tyranny ErotiCake along with yourself.
Divitiya Iran
I can understand that mindset. But, how do I convince them to go along with what you want?
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
...
Chairwoman Francoise falls silent for a second. Then, she speaks.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
...Alright. Say this to them...
Divitiya Iran
...!
With that, the private conversation is then concluded. Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
Bijou? Chole? If I could propose this strategy to you, would you then allow for both Perle and Sabrina to train with this ErotiCake?
Perle Luisant
Huh?!
Sabrina Madison
Eh?!
Both Perle and Sabrina are secretly happy that Divitiya is going to such lengths to keep them as the pilots of the Tyranny ErotiCake. However, Bijou then speaks.
Bijou Luisant
That would only depend on what you have to say, Divitiya?
Now, Divitiya explains.
Divitiya Iran
What if we...were to agree not to use the full thrust of the Tyranny ErotiCake-until these two become better accustomed to piloting it? By keeping the speed at which the Tyranny ErotiCake can move at a locked pace, that would make it move at just about the same speed as any of the Confederation's current Superior Weapons. That way, both Perle and Sabrina wouldn't be in danger, and we could fight like regular pilots.
Bijou Luisant
...
Chole Madison
...
Cassius Maverick
...
Isaac Carter
...
The four parents now fall silent, as they do contemplate the idea. Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...And if both Perle and Sabrina were to fight normally alongside myself-while you four pilot the Liberty ErotiCake, we could all together monitor these two on the battlefield. Does that sound logical to you?
Divitiya says, to which Bijou will then slowly reply.
Bijou Luisant
...Yes.
With Bijou showing acceptance of this logic, Chole, Isaac and Cassius will also do the same. Divitiya will then finish up.
Divitiya Iran
So, do we have a deal?
As Divitiya says this, Perle will grow excited in anticipation. Though seeing this, Bijou and Chole will then speak.
Bijou Luisant
...Yes. If you can promise that you will not allow our children to push the Tyranny ErotiCake to that limit that we saw earlier, then I will allow both Perle and Sabrina to pilot it with you...Divitiya.
Perle Luisant
!
Chole, Isaac and Cassius will also nod in acceptance, to which Sabrina will then notice.
Sabrina Madison
!
Now, Divitiya will speak.
Divitiya Iran
Thank you. I promise to do exactly as you say, as I am an "ally of Consumers"...
Divitiya says with resolve, as she then bows herself to everyone. She then speaks again.
Divitiya Iran
I will carry on the beliefs of Director Oberon Luisant. I promise.
Bijou Luisant
!
Upon hearing the name Director Oberon Luisant, Bijou is surprised that Divitiya knew him. Bijou then speaks.
Bijou Luisant
My uncle? You...knew him?
Bijou will ask in a curious manner. Divitiya will then respond.
Divitiya Iran
Yes, Bijou. I was very close to him when I was young...I dearly miss him...after...
Bijou Luisant
!...
While Divitiya will not finish what she was about to say, Bijou will realize something, as she thinks to herself.
Bijou Luisant
*...This person... I thought she was just a stranger who prefers to wear this curious bodysuit from head to toe. But now that she confirms she personally knew my uncle, Oberon, then she must've been very important to him...*
Bijou Luisant
*She has to be related to Operation SEED. And if I look at it from that perspective, then she might even be similar to the Ascension. That would explain everything-including why Fran hasn't ever once mentioned a person like her to us.*
While Bijou thinks, suddenly, Perle will then stand up and speak with confidence.
Perle Luisant
...Now that that's settled, how about we go and...give Divitiya a tour of the Hydra Noon, Sabrina?
Sabrina Madison
Uh-right!
Everyone
?
Surprised by Perle's sudden comment, Bijou, Chole, Isaac, Cassius and Charlotte will show some shock on their faces-as Perle then proceeds to pick up Divitiya. She will then wink over to Sabrina, who will get what she's doing and follow suit by standing up as well. Cassius will then speak in a curious way.
Cassius Maverick
Uh, Perle? Are we...finished speaking here?
Perle will then respond to her father.
Perle Luisant
I think so, father. We will promise to gradually learn how to better control the Tyranny ErotiCake, right?
Perle will say this in a quick fashion, making it hard for everyone to properly hear exactly what she says. Cassius will then get tonged tied, as he then speaks.
Cassius Maverick
Ah, ye-wait, that's-
Perle will then cut off her father.
Perle Luisant
Alright, we're off!!!
With that, Perle will then proceed to gently "push" Divitiya out the door, while Sabrina waves at everyone as they leave. As the door remains open, Bijou will then speak.
Bijou Luisant
...That girl of ours is quick on her feet when it comes to getting out of a pinch...
Bijou will say, with a wry smile on her face. She will also blush, as she will have so many thoughts swirling around in her head right now. Just after this, two shadows will then emerge from the door that Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya left out of. They are-
Teresa Maverick
...Ah! Father!
Cassius Maverick
!
Now, in will walk in both Teresa and Terese. Terese will then speak.
Terese Maverick
I'm glad you are here with everyone. Remember? You promised you'd have lunch with us earlier, right?
Cassius will now smile, as he will then speak.
Cassius Maverick
Oh, of course! Here, have a seat and I'll get us some plates so we can eat.
As the two girls enter, Chole and Isaac will stay and enjoy their company, as the three of them will then stand up with Cassius and then head over to the kitchen. As they all talk happily in the background, Bijou will then be seen, thinking to herself.
Bijou Luisant
..."Smiles".
Just after Bijou smiles, the scene will then transition to space. There, four E-dreadnoughts will then be seen, with one of them being revealed to be the Tenebris Root. As these ships are seen, several Superior Weapons will be seen to be returning to their respective ships. Of this group, one in particular will be the group that Idris is in command over. He will then speak over his comms.
General Idris Requiem
...Alright, Alex, Cosmo and Erick. We'll continue this conversation later on.
Here, General Idris is seen to be just finishing up a conversation he was having with his three other friends. They then speak over his comms in front of him.
General Alex/General Cosmo/General Erick
Got it!
After this, General Idris then lands his Divide back onto the Tenebris Root's outer hull. He then enters into a special hanger reserved just for his Divide, as behind him the other Superior Weapons then enter into their own seperate hangers. As Idris's Divide then enters into the hanger, the doors then close and air is then pumped into the area. After this, inside of General Idris's cockpit, he then proceeds to step out and onto a small walkway. As he does this, the doors in front of him them open up to then revel-
Faith Nadir
Welcome back, Big brother Idris!
Grace Nadir
Welcome back, Big brother Idris!
Now, both Faith and Grace emerge from the doors and greet Idris kindly as they enter into the small hanger. General Idris then walks over to them and then speaks in kind back to them.
General Idris Requiem
Ah, Faith and Grace. Thank you from coming to greet me.
General Idris then begins speaking.
General Idris Requiem
...I heard from my friends that things were just as surprising over in the areas that they went to. Did you hear?
Faith Nadir
Yeah. Irena was talking about that earlier and wanted to speak to you on her bridge when you got back.
General Idris Requiem
Alright, let's go and see her together.
Faith & Grace Nadir
Yes.
Now, General Idris will begin walking forward. He will head towards the bridge now, with both Faith and Grace following close behind him. As the three go, they will continue the conversation. Grace begins, as the three walk through a hallway.
Grace Nadir
As the Confederation's strength is going to be troublesome, Rear Admiral Irena wants both me and Faith to join you in our own D1 Divides during the next mission.
General Idris Requiem
!
General Idris will be surprised after hearing this, as he will then begin speaking.
General Idris Requiem
...I see. In that case, make sure that the two of you follow my lead, as I don't want anything bad happening to either of you down there.
General Idris will say this in a caring way, as he will now show that he does care for the safety of both Faith and Grace. Faith and Grace will then speak kindly.
Faith Nadir
Oh...thank you for your care, Big brother...
Grace Nadir
We will make sure to follow your lead from here on...
General Idris Requiem
..."Smiles"
As General Idris smiles, the three will then get to an elevator, to which once the three get in, they will be the only three inside. General Idris will now stand behind both Faith and Grace, to which as he stands, he will now look at their shapely bodies. General Idris will view both Faith and Grace as women, to which he will then silently think to himself.
General Idris Requiem
*...Getting to know both Faith and Grace has been a blessing-not just for myself, but Alex, Cosmo and Erick as well, as by my mothers' insistence to take them in 11 years ago, that offered us all the opportunity to be recognized for our own hidden talents in our new military.*
General Idris Requiem
*It's thanks to them that we are even at this point in our lives, and what luck that me and my firends even got to learn from the Emperor and his friend Howard personally during these past 11 years. Though that man and his wife showed neither of these two any love...at least I can be happy that both Faith and Grace trust me personally...!*
While General Idris was admiring the beauty of both Faith and Grace from behind, he will now notice something about Grace that he hadn't noticed until now. She will be slightly trembling, to which upon seeing this, General Idris will speak to her.
General Idris Requiem
Grace? Are you trembling?
Grace Nadir
!
Faith Nadir
!...
As General Idris points out, Grace is indeed trembling, to which she then is startled slightly. Faith doesn't respond, prompting Grace to slowly turn around to face General Idris. As she does this, she looks at him with a look of worry.
Grace Nadir
...
In response to this, General Idris speaks directly to her now.
General Idris Requiem
What's wrong? You can tell me anything that's bothering you and I'll listen.
Grace Nadir
...Alright...
After a moment of hesitation, Grace speaks.
Grace Nadir
While we were on the bridge earlier, when we were hearing about what kinds of technology the Confederation had from a comms with the Two Queens..."he"...he was there in the background...watching us with fire in his eyes....
General Idris Requiem
!
General Idris will then speak.
General Idris Requiem
...Did he speak to either of you?
Now, both Faith and Grace will look down. That will give General Idris the answer he needs.
Faith Nadir
...No...thankfully, he didn't, as he just looked at us while we spoke to the Two Queens...
Grace Nadir
...
General Idris Requiem
...I see.
General Idris will then see that both Faith and Grace deeply hate and fear Howard Pinnacle. Both Faith and Grace will continue to give off this look, prompting General Idris to remember a time that happened 11 years ago.
----FLASHBACK----
11 years ago, inside of Mainland, many of the houses will be seen in the residential district. Here, two Consumer girls will be seen to be slowly approaching their home. One of them will be Faith, who will then speak.
Faith Pinnacle
...Grace...we are back...
Grace Pinnacle
...
Faith will appear to be happy, but her expression will show that she's actually quite scared. Grace will also be worried, as the two slowly approach their home. Faith will then speak.
Faith Pinnacle
...Grace...I know that you want nothing more than to leave this horrible place. But I just want to ask mother for the truth...
Grace Pinnacle
I know...but, she and Howard both hate us...
As the two now stand at the front door to their home, Faith will be just about to reach up to unlock the door. She needs to produce a key in order to get in, to which as she is about to open the door, she then turns around and speaks to her worried sister. She then speaks in a more frim mannar now.
Faith Pinnacle
...Even so, I want to still give them a chance...I want to know why they look at us so...
With that, Faith then opens the door into the house. As she does, the way before both girls is barren, but a sound can be heard coming from the kitchen. Both girls then cooly walk in and take off their shoes, to which they then quietly enter into the kitchen. Inside, they see-
Faith Pinnacle
...
Grace Pinnacle
...
Inside of the kitchen, the stove is just heating up a pot of tea. It is nearly peeping hot, to which as Faith then walks in to turn it off, then-
Faith Pinnacle
!
Just before Faith is about to turn off the stove, across the way from her a wheelchair stops dead it it's tracks. Susan is then revealed to be still handicapped, to which she then looks into the area and sees Faith approaching the stove. She then looks at her in her face.
Susan Pinnacle
...!
As Susan looks at Faith, she doesn't move, as her face is not shown just yet. Faith then speak first.
Faith Pinnacle
He-hello...mother! Me and Grace just got back from the store to pick up the tea that you like...
Faith will say this with a smile on her face. Susan doesn't react, as she just speaks cooly.
Susan Pinnacle
...Good...
Susan will say this without a hint of emotion in her voice. She will now be revealed to be able to speak, to which she will then continue to look oddly at Faith and Grace.
Susan Pinnacle
...
Faith Pinnacle
...
Grace Pinnacle
...
In response to this awkward staring, Faith will then speak again, as the pot of water on the stove is now about to boil.
Faith Pinnacle
Oh! How about I go ahead and turn this off for you?
Faith will now take another step forward and proceed to turn off the stove. However, she will then attempt to get the peeping hot pot of water off the stove, but because she is too small, she will not be able to reach the pot of water, as it has been placed on the back of the stove. Faith will then speak out.
Faith Pinnacle
I...I can't reach the pot of water, mother...Grace, can you bring over that chair, please?
Grace Pinnacle
...Yes...
Susan Pinnacle
!
While Faith and Grace do the seemingly unimportant task, Susan will be shown to have vivid flashbacks of the time when she was r****. She was r**** by the several men 18 years ago in various positions and in several locations, including on the bed, floor and chair. These flashbacks will terrify her, to which just as Faith is about to stand on the chair that Grace brought to her, she will then scream out-
Susan Pinnacle
STOP!!!!!
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Intensely startled by Susan's outburst, both Faith and Grace will freeze in place, with looks of fear on their faces now. In response to this, Howard will then rush into the room, and see what is going on. He will speak.
Howard Pinnacle
Susan, I-...oh...it's just you two again...
Faith Pinnacle
..I'm...I'm sorry, I-
Before Faith can finish her sentence, Howard will cut her off and speak.
Howard Pinnacle
Don't say anything, Faith. I'll take care of it.
Now, both Faith and Grace will back off, to which Howard will then calmly move the chair out of the way from the stove and put it back where Faith had just gotten it from. He will then take off the pot of water from the stove and place it onto the table next to the chair. He will then speak.
Howard Pinnacle
...I see that you got the tea that we asked for from the store. Hand it over, and then come sit with us. We have something important to discuss with the two of you right now...
Susan Pinnacle
...
Susan will now give both Faith and Grace a wry look, as she then moves herself to the table. Faith then speaks.
Faith Pinnacle
Oh...ok...
Grace Pinnacle
...
As Faith and Grace then proceed towards the table, Faith will then hand over the tea box to Howard, who will then open it and then take out a packet of tea. He will then sit at the table and then put the tea packet into a cup that is already on the table, to which he will then pour ONLY himself a drink. Faith and Grace do expect that he would also pour them a drink, but he won't, to which the two of them will then simply sit in the chair that Howard had placed down. They will sit across the table from where Howard is sitting, to which Susan will then roll up behind, silent. Howard will now speak to both Faith and Grace in a serious tone, asking them for their attention.
Howard Pinnacle
Faith?
Faith Pinnacle
Yes?
Howard Pinnacle
Grace?
Grace Pinnacle
...Yes...?
With both girls listening intently to Howard, he will now begin.
Howard Pinnacle
...What I'm about to tell the two of you is...something that neither of you will understand at this time. Frankly, it's something that we should discuss with you two when you are much older...but, neither me nor my wife here are capable of keeping you any longer than today because of what I'm about to tell you both.
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Shocked to hear this, Grace will start to worry deeply about what it is that Howard intends to tell her. In response to this, Faith will then hold her hand, as this is what Faith wanted to hear about. Though through weak words, Faith will speak.
Faith Pinnacle
...What...is it that you want to tell us...?
Grace Pinnacle
...
Howard then speaks.
Howard Pinnacle
The truth is...neither myself nor my wife Susan...are your real parents.
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Stunned by this revelation, Grace will simply look at Howard with innocent eyes. He will not look at her anymore, to which Faith will then look down. She will start to speak in broken words, trying to hold back herself from crying.
Faith Pinnacle?
...How...how is that possible?! We came from Susan, didn't we?!
Howard will then speak.
Howard Pinnacle
That is true...you did come from my wife. However, your real parents...were people who didn't truly love my wife, is what I'm trying to tell you both.
Faith Pinnacle?
...?
Grace Pinnacle?
...?
Howard will be struggling to find the correct words to tell both Faith and Grace right now. He simply can't tell two 7 year old children that their mother was r**** at the hands of several men, who are their real parents. Howard will grit his teeth at this fact, to which he will then explain.
Howard Pinnacle
...You see, the Pinnacle family that I came from is a unique group of people who have a special genetic mutation, where our eyes are naturally a different color than most other Consumers. As you've seen, my right eye is silver, while my left eye is blue.
Howard shows off his gleaming eyes, to which he looks at both Faith and Grace with a look of pure resentment.
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Both Faith and Grace will flinch backwards at Howard looking at them as if they were criminals. Upon seeing their scared faces, however, Howard will simply close his eyes and then continue speaking.
Howard Pinnacle
...When the two of you were born, I had the Ascension take a sample of your blood for analysis, and they told me that you didn't have Pinnacle blood. I accepted their word as truth...and then, I decided to take a quick look at both of your right eyes...and then I saw...I...saw....
Faith Pinnacle
...
Grace Pinnacle
...
Both Faith and Grace will not speak-waiting for Howard to tell them what they saw. He will then move his body furiously-
Howard Pinnacle
!
Howard will now suddenly stand up, picking up the table that was in front of him and then throw it into the stove. As it crashes, the cups, tea box and everything else that was on the table will then crash onto the floor, to which now, Howard will then move in closer to both Faith and Grace, to which he will then scream at the top of his lungs in the faces of the two terrified girls.
Howard Pinnacle
I SAW THE EYES OF THOSE MEN WHO R**** MY WIFE 8 YEARS AGO!!!!!
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Both Faith and Grace will be petrified, truly terrified of Howard. As things settle down, he will then slowly calm down.
Howard Pinnacle
HAH!!! HAH!!! HAAH!!!....
Faith Pinnacle
...
Grace Pinnacle
..."Cries"
Now, Howard will speak, as Grace begins to cry silently at the situation in front of her.
Howard Pinnacle
...This is why...even though you two are still children, neither me nor my wife want you two to stay with us any longer.
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Howard continues.
Howard Pinnacle
I had noticed that both you girls were packing your things in those bags under your beds. I'm sure that the two of you might have a place to stay-that's not here.
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Though this fact is true, neither Faith nor Grace will be able to speak at this time, as they are just too scared to tell Howard that they have no other place to go-other than here. Howard ignores their scared looks and then continues speaking.
Howard Pinnacle
...Go back to your rooms, get your bags and then get out.
Howard's words are final. He then turns to leave, to which as he passes by Susan, Faith will then speak weakly before Susan can also turn around.
Faith Pinnacle
...Wa....wait, pl.....please...
Susan Pinnacle
...
Now, Faith will be shown to be crying deeply, as she will then weakly climb out of the chair that she was sharing with Grace and then slowly bring herself closer to her "mother". Her face will be that of pure desperation, to which she will then speak to Susan.
Faith Pinnacle
Yo....u...you said....that we aren't apart of the Pinnacle family.....because of our eyes..... Please....can you look at our eyes....one more time....please....?
Susan Pinnacle
...
At first Susan will be perplexed by this behavior by Faith. However, when Grace also manages to bring herself closer to her, she will then respond.
Grace Pinnacle
...
Faith Pinnacle
...
Susan will just have to move the hair off of both Faith and Grace's faces to see their right eyes. Just an instant will tell her everything she needs to know, to which she will then-
Susan Pinnacle
ACK!!!!!
Faith Pinnacle
!
Grace Pinnacle
!
Susan will shout this out, as upon looking at her scared children's eyes, both of them will not have silver right eyes. Instead, they will have deep brown eyes-EXACTLY like the eyes of the people that r**** her 18 years ago. Susan will then speak.
Susan Pinnacle
...Get out...both of you are not my children.
Faith Pinnacle
Now, Faith will speak up.
Faith Pinnacle
NO, MOTHER!!! Please, don't throw us out on the street!!!!
Faith will press herself against Susan's right leg. In response, Susan will-
"SLAP!!!!!"
Faith Pinnacle
!
Susan will have just delivered a punishing slap to the right side of Faith's face. The slap will send her off her feet, to which she will then crash into the floor, crying. Grace will then speak out in concern, as she darts to Faith's side.
Grace Pinnacle
Faith!!!
Faith Pinnacle
..."cries"
As Faith cries on the floor, Grace will then come to her side with tears in her eyes. As Grace leans down, Susan will then speak.
Susan Pinnacle
...Don't ever...touch me again...you two...
Faith Pinnacle
...!
Faith will not respond, as her "mother" won't even talk to either her or Grace by name now. Susan will then coldly turn around, to which she and Howard will then leave the kitchen.
Some time later, Grace has Faith on her back in a piggyback fashion, while walking along a dark street. There are no cars driving at this time, as the only light comes from an area up ahead with a street lamp, which lights the way. It is well past night time by now, to which Grace is then seen to be carrying both her and Faith's bag, to which the ordeal for her at the age of 7 years old is stressful. Grace groans constantly, barely being able to take one step after the other, as she carries her numb sister through the streets of an abandoned area within Mainland.
Grace Pinnacle?
GROAN!!
Faith Pinnacle?
...
Faith's eyes are devoid of any life now, as the shocking revelation of her life has crushed her mind. Grace is also struggling to keep herself up, until-
Grace Pinnacle?
Ah!!!
Faith Pinnacle?
!
Grace now trips over herself and then the two falls onto the hard ground in front of them. Grace manages to stop her face from crashing into the ground by letting go of Faith, but her arms then suffer cuts, while Faith also gets some injuries on her legs. Faith then begins to speak, as she lays on the back of her sister, who can't move anymore.
Faith Pinnacle?
Ah...Gr...ace...
Now, Grace is seen, huffing and puffing, as she is out of breath. She barely is able to speak back to her sister, as she is exhausted.
Grace Pinnacle?
Huff...Huff...Huff...
Faith continues.
Faith Pinnacle?
...I'm sorry....for making you go into that house.....with me...it was a mistake...I'm so sorry...Grace....
Faith now cries, as she realizes it was a mistake to try and speak with Susan and Howard today. Her sister Grace doesn't respond, as Grace then cries on the ground as well, while remaining motionless.
Grace Pinnacle?
Huff...Huff...."cries"
Faith Pinnacle?
..."cries".
As both girls cry, a light soon drives up behind them. It's from a car, to which as the two girls look, the car then slows to a stop. Then, a pink-skinned woman steps out of the car and approaches the two girls, with a shocked expression on her face. She speaks.
???
...My goodness! What are you two doing out here so late?!
Faith Pinnacle?
Ah!
