(THE MIDNIGHT HOURS)At midnight, while everyone where asleep; Mr. Charles and his men drove to Mr. Hansel's secret laboratory still having Imelda as their hostage. she had led the way as promised to them in other to keep her life, she is been used as a bait for the third time which really pissed her off."You should wait on the car sir while we destroy the camera's" One of his men said to Mr. Charles"Time is precious, waiting will only cause more delay, I am sure our hostage here knows how to turn off the camera without us having to work for it" Mr. Charles said looking at ImeldaImelda lowered her eye as if they were going to bite her."Lead the way" Mr. Charles saidOne of the men grabbed Imelda dragging her out of the car, there were fifteen of them who had come with two cars for the mission; three of them waited outside while Mr. Charles and the rest people go in having Imelda as their hostage."Remember, no childish play if you don't want a bullet on your head: Mr. Charles warn
50 MINUTES AGO..."Sir, a vehicle just arrived at the laboratory" Idris said while showing Mr. Hansel the video of the camera footage outside the laboratory."Just like I have expected, they arrived sooner than expected; i almost got scared over nothing" Mr. Hansel told him"Do you think Imelda will tell them about the body of the sea creature?" Idris Questioned him"I doubt she would, she would do anything to remain a scientist like his father, her father was so obsessed with science and it drove him crazy; he died 7 years ago choking on chemicals" Mr. Hansel responded"Why didn't you tell her that about her father?" Idris asked"The girl chose the path, who am i to stop her from achieving her dreams? At least she has been a great help to us" Mr. Hansel replied"Should we shut down the laboratory before their entry? they could cause damage there" Idris said to him"If you shut it down, we won't have the brain to our research; let them move in, she will know what to do when she gets i
Fear gripped Imelda at the sight of Erica standing face to face with her"How did you find this place?" Imelda asked her going backwards"Do you really think you can hide from me? you should have known that i am very different from you" Erica told her"Your mother's body isn't here" Imelda said trying to run from herErica grabbed her hand with the color of her eye glowing out"Don't make me ask again" Erica warned her"You will have to kill me to find her" Imelda said pretending she wasn't afraid of her"So be it" Erica said grabbing her by her neck"You won't kill a human intentionally, right? that will make you look bad in the eye of Lava and Oma" Imelda said why trying to catch her breathErica pushed her down as Imelda breaths out heavily trying to recollect her breath"You won't say anything right?" Erica asked"Even in death I still won't, I am of no use to you" Imelda said to her as she chuckles hard"Maybe I should set the building on fire" Erica told her"You can go ahead an
(Back at the second Underground Laboratory)"No, she is already dead why do you need her" Imelda pleaded trying to stop Erica from leaving with the body.Erica kicked her out with her feet "You are nothing but a monster, how dare you demand I give you my mother's body for your little play?" Erica asked angrily"If she matters to you, why did you let her die? you should have saved your mother; we are all monsters" Imelda said trying to get back at her"Nothing i do will save her, her immune system was already weak before she fought the sea-witch" Erica told her while making an attempt to reach the door despite Imelda grabbing her leg again"Please, just this time; I will be useless to Mr. Hansel if he finds out the body and the fluid is gone" Imelda said"Do you think you are just going to stop with her? you humans always want what you can't have" she told her kicking her out harsher than the last time that Imelda groaned in pain"Exactly, they keep wanting more; they even backstab the
"That's funny, a sea-witch like you wouldn't come face to face with me without wanting something? What is it you want?" Erica asked her"The Pearl, it belongs to the queen" Olga told her"And what makes you think i have the pearl?" Erica asked"You do, that's the only gift you ever received from your pathetic mother; my bad, i forgot she is right here with you" Olga said smacking her lips togetherErica balled her hand slightly annoyed by her"It's a gift i received from my pathetic mother; she even risked her life for it; do you think i will give it to you?" Erica asked her with a smile"You know for someone who never had emotions in her, i found you cute; but now you seem to think with a lot of emotions and all i want to do is squeeze is" Olga said to her"I want to see you try to take it from me looking like that" Erica told her.Olga quickly grows out her extra monster hand and stretch it towards her scratching her chest"You missed, it's my turn now" Erica told her.***(Kingdom

(Somewhere at the deep sea)Lava had joined the fisher men on boat to see for himself that they had discovered and think is causing a problem in the fishing business."Are you going to be okay sir?" One of the fisher men asked him when he entered the boat"I need to see this myself; I should know what is going on " Lava told him"You might need this" Another fisher man said handing over a paper bag to him"What's this for" Lava curiously ask him"Some people seem to get water sick during their first time at the sea" the fisher man told him"It's not my first time, I won't get sick" Lava said blinking his eye"Yea right" they responded.***King Obi received the message stone from Prince Luca who had finally made up his mind"So, it's war? that's what he will get and every siren standing with him" he said "Give us your orders your majesty” his chief warrior said"Take our best assassins and attack whoever that gets in our way, attack when they least expected it" King Obi ordered"Yes,

Lava asked"It's already getting late; we can't make it there until tomorrow" the fisher man responded"Tomorrow then, let's find shelter and somewhere to cook" Lava said"We have a small hut here where we rest whenever we come at the sea to fish" another fisher man told him"Good" Lava responded(Riverian)Amanda was suddenly disturbed by the noise coming outside the royalty’s chamber at midnight, she had been watching over the Riverian's as the princess has ordered before leaving the palace.She wondered what the noise was all about, it has been quite all these time during
