Meanwhile, 2 nervous people were amongst the gang, an old lady and a young man. One was holding a gun and one, well one wasn’t even visible. 

“I don’t think I can do this, Yoline,” The man said. 

“What are you talking about? Remember what we practiced a week ago. All you need to do is kill all these men and Elliot to save Mina.” The old lady, Yoline, replied.

“But the problem is, I don’t even know how to use a gun.” The man admitted. Yoline gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes.

“I gave you a whole week to prepare for this mission and you couldn’t have even learnt how to use a gun? What were you doing at that time? Playing on your phone? Figure it out yourself because if you don’t complete this mission-” she slides her thumb against her neck. The man gulped and nodded. 

“What are you doing, aren’t you going to chase her?” Elliot asked the man. 

“Ah of course, I was just putting bullets in my gun,” the man replied. 

“Well hurry up!” He commanded. The man cracked his knuckles and slowly ran after me.

“Now is your chance.” Yoline whispered to the man, floating besides him. The man cocked the gun and aimed his gun at one of Elliot’s men. As he was about to fire someone pushed past him. 

Bang!

“Oh shit, I missed. Hey, you, watch where you’re going!” The man yelled and looked towards Yoline. 

“What’s up with that expression?” He asked. 

“M-mina, you-” she muttered. 

“What?” He looked towards me as I’m falling to the ground. He gasps.
“I think she’s dead. Let’s go guys. Good job… whatever your name is.” Elliot said and walked away, whistling. The man and the old lady stare at my dead body, laying on the ground.

“Aren’t you coming?” Elliot called out to the man. 

“Actually, I want to make sure no evidence is shown, you guys can go without me.” The man stuttered. 

“My baby!” Yoline exclaimed, running towards me, “You little brat! How could you be so stupid to kill her! Does she flipping look like a man!” She screamed.

“D-don’t worry we can fix this,” he took a perfume bottle out of his pocket.

“Perfume?! Perfume?! Are you serious right now?!” 

“No, no look closely.” He said. Yoline sighed and squinted. ‘Perseus’ is written in the middle. 

Yoline gasped, “You’re gonna use Perseus for this? We haven’t used that in more than 50 years!” 

“Well that’s why we need to use it now.” He said.

“If you still had Perseus why did we have to do all of this?” 

“I- That’s actually really smart. I didn’t think of that.” 

Yoline groaned and flicked him on the head. He yelped.

“Just use the darn thing, will you?!” Yoline commanded. He frowned and sprayed three times over my dead body. 

“She should wake up in a few hours. Since she died from a gunshot, it’ll take more than 3 hours for her to wake up.” he explained and Yoline nodded. 

“So what do we do now?” she asked. 

“Let’s take her home for now. We’ll visit her in her dreams to explain Perseus. And the gender change.” 

“Sounds good to me. Do you think it’ll be safe to teleport her?” 

“Yeah but what about her car?”
“We’ll teleport that too.” Yoline and the man teleport everything to Mina’s house. 

In Mina’s dream

I woke up in a small, lightly lit room. 

“Where am I?” I muttered and looked down. I shrieked. “Where are my hands and feet?! And my arms and legs?! Oh no, it’s my worst nightmare.” 

“I wouldn’t call this a nightmare, more like a great dream.” Yoline said, coming in from the shadows. She had a croaky voice and dressed very poshly from head to toe.

“Who are you and where am I? And where are my hands and feet?” I ask. 

“You’ll get your hands and feet back soon. My name is Yoline and this- oh where is he? Hey, Casper!” She called out. The man came running towards us.

“Oh, sorry I was busy.  Nice to meet you, Mina, I’m Casper.” He introduced himself.

“How do you know my name?” I ask. 

“I know everything about you,” he winks. 

“Are you hitting on her now?” Yoline rolls her eyes.

“By the way, Yoline, do you have a cold? Why do you sound so… croaky. Like an actual grandma.” Casper laughs. 

Yoline clears her throat,“I just want to be normal for once, no need to ruin my moment.” Her voice changes to a young lady’s voice

“You’re not an old lady?” I asked, shocked. 

“I am, sweetheart. In fact I’m your great grandma.” 

“Great grandma? Does that mean you’re dead?” I asked. 

“Yes, of course. I’m like 180 years old, haha!” 

“190 actually,” Casper corrected her. 

“Oh yes, thank you Casper.” she laughed. 

“But where am I and what am I doing here?” 

“You’re in a dream but when you wake up don’t think of it as a dream. Do you remember what happened after the announcement?” Yoline asked.

“The announcement? You mean my mum’s announcement? You know about that?” 

“We know everything about you, Mina,” Casper repeats. 

“Will you answer my question?” 

“Oh… right. I remember I was running away from Elliot and his gang, that reminds me. You, Casper or whatever your name is. You were amongst the gang!” I exclaimed. 

“Indeed I was, I had planned to save you but it didn’t go so well…” Casper replied. 

“What... do you mean?” I asked. 

“Casper, the idiot that he is, accidentally shot you whilst trying to save you. Unbelievable, right?! Anyways, we had no choice but to revive you with this perfume.” Yoline said, taking the bottle of perfume out of her bag. 

“Wait- you… revived me with… perfume?” 

“Yes… anyways we came into your dream to explain that to you and also how to use the perfume. This is Perseus. It’s perfume that revives you. You have to spray it on the body you want to revive. If you spray it once on the body, the person will be revived but their condition will be so bad that they’ll most likely die again in a short period of time, their looks won’t change. Spray it twice, they will be revived but however they die, their injuries will be there for the rest of their lives, if they even live long because one hard hit on that injury means that they will die immediately. If they had died from a disease, that disease will never go away unless they’re cured. That also means there would be no point in reviving them if there is no cure because they’ll just die from the disease anyways, their looks will change a lot but you’ll still be able to recognize them. If you spray it 3 times, the person will not have any diseases or scars but their gender and looks change. Use it carefully, ok?” Yoline explained. 

“So this perfume bottle revives people? What happens if I lose it?” I asked. 

“Don’t worry you won’t lose it, it follows you around like a pet.” Casper said.

“By the way, what do you mean by, looks will change?” 

“You’ll just look different, you’ll see when you wake up.” He smiled.

“What?” The ground begins to shake. “What’s happening now?!” I yelled.
“You’re waking up! If you have any questions about Perseus, you have to figure it out yourself! Now take!” She throws Perseus up in the air. 

“What?! I don’t want it!” I screamed. 

“Too bad! It’s already been decided!” Yoline said and the perfume bottle ended up going into my hand
