Simeona, Angie and Amelia zoomed through the underground as Angie lead the way to get them out. All they could think was just run. Keep running. Don't stop running. Get out. Get out. GET OUT. They then got to the outside but Simeona shook her head and grabbed both Angie's and Amelia's hands, taking them into the school. They run upstairs and more stairs while also passing classrooms before getting into the roof and stopping, watching the dusk sky flow with a glow. It was like seeing the northern lights. Simeona sat down and so did Angie. Amelia just watched the sky as Angie buckled to her knees and started to sob. "I didn't want this to happen. Anything else could have happened! Anything but the boys to become something like me." She muttered as she pulled her legs in. "And for Boris to make me think that it's my fault. It probably is."
"It's not. It's not your fault Angie. I don't know who's fault it is but it's definitely not yours. Also I'm not upset about you and Taron making out. Love is a weird thing, no one understands it well. I don't get it. It doesn't feel right."
"I just want all this to go away. I want to be normal again. I want to see my father and my brother again. Please."
Amelia went over to Angie and rubbed her back as she sobbed more. Simeona peered down as she looked at the book. "We can't stay here for long, we need to go somewhere far away."
"We can't leave the town but I don't know if we can go back to the mansion."
"They'll get in. No matter how much we lock up everything."
"Unless we go down to the sub level."
"Sub level?" Amelia asked.
"Yeah, it's basically like a bunker. We'll have everything we need and it'll give us ample time to plan. I remember me and the boys used to play imaginary down there."
"Well we need to go now because I can sense the boys. They know we're still here." Angie gets up as she lets her arms grow more into mutants arms. "Hang on." Simeona and Amelia hold on to her as Angie makes a dash for the opposite of where they were looking. She jumps high into the air as she's out of eye's view. Taron, Micheal and Kevin crawl out of the entrance of the tunnel as Taron sniffs the air.
"They just left. They'rrrrre heading back to the mansion." He growled as he stroked part of the totaled minivan.
"You heard Borissssss. We have to track them. We alsssssso have to thank Angie for thisssss."
"Oh yes. She's done the god's work for us. We're so mucCch better now."
"We also have to thank Simeona too. Forrrrrr drrrrrrivng us herrrrrrre."
Taron sniffed the air again and sauntered over to the door. "This way."

Angie leaped from building to building with Simeona and Amelia as she felt like if she stopped the boys would catch up.
"JUST IN CASE CAN WE LOCK UP THE MANSION?!" Simeona called out as they kept leaping.
"YEA WE'LL DO THAT BUT I REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON GETTING US AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL!"
"SORRY!"
" OKAY!"
They finally got to the mansion as Angie let go of the two and then they looked at each other and rushed in, slamming the door behind them and Angie kicking off the doorknob. They then ran to every window and slammed them shut, closing the blinds and closing the vents at the top. They then went to the kitchen and hauled every bit of food and utensils into a bag. "Okay where's the sub level?" Amelia asked.
"It's behind that cupboard." She pointed to a cupboard on the wall. "If we need to leave we do it by the little hut in the backyard. Grab a weapon just in case they get in." She instructed as they both nodded and Angie let her claws grow more.
Amelia ran somewhere and then came back with a golf club. "A golf club?"
"It's the closest thing I could find!"
"Alright! I'm taking some kitchen knives."
Simeona slid some kitchen knives into the bag and then went to the cupboard. She opened the door and it wasn't a normal cupboard. She then sent the bag down first and whistled for Angie to go through. "You get the bag of knives out of the way and then we'll come down." She nodded as she jumped up and slid down, yelling as she did coz of the slide like journey. She then got down and moved the bag of knives.
"IT'S SAFE!"
Simeona and Amelia nodded as Amelia went down next and Simeona last as she slammed the cupboard door shut. They both slid down and then landed on this mattress as they looked around and winced. "We've really let the place go." Simeona notes as there was dust engulfing the room and cobwebs and dust bunnies and rotten food. "Holy shit. Ang are you able to eat rotten food?"
"Only rotten meat."
"Shit, okay." They all tried to think of something before a lightbulb appeared above Amelia's head and she got one of the bags Simeona was holding. She then moved the rotten food into the bag and chuckled. "What are you doing?" Simeona asked.
"In my time, when we needed to hide we used rotten anything to drive off intruders to make them think we were all dead! If we use the rotten meat maybe the boys won't get us!"
"That's... actually genius. I would say maybe not but then I remember it's only with rotten meat that they'll still check but with what's in there they'll stay away." Angie explained. "What, mutants don't like rotting fruit and dairy?"
"I'm used to it but the boys won't be."
"Perfect."

Aloy ran to the outside and then back to the main area as he saw Boris with the crystal and he walked over.
"Boris, I saw what you did to those three boys. They didn't deserve that. That girl didn't deserve it either. If I'm speaking honestly I never even wanted this whole cult to happen! The only reason you're still here was because of him! Why? I mean look at you! I get that it worked that one time but that was one time! Please." He put a hand on Boris's shoulder.
"Just give it all up and pass."
Boris looked at him and chuckled darkly. "Why would I dear Aloy? Zélote gifted us all with this blessing of a new life. He blessed you specifically with letting him use you as a vessel."
"Exactly my dear Boris. You are absolutely right. You should be grateful that I let one of your friends live Aloy."
"I DON'T CARE ZÉLOTE! I DIDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN! THESE KIDS SHOULDN'T BE PART OF THIS! WE'VE ALREADY DID HARM WITH THE ELEMENTS OF THE EARTH, WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS!"
It went quiet.
"Well if you want it all to go back to normal~,"
"Then go find them all and end it. Go on~"
Aloy looked at Boris and felt hesitant in everything. He felt Boris and Zélote had become one and the same. He felt Zélote slither around him like a snake in his mind.
"....Fine."
Boris chuckled as he got up and swiped the dust from Aloy's shoulder and kissed his cheek.
"Good luck."


Taron, Micheal and Kevin got to the mansion and walked up to the doors. Micheal looked at the door closer and rolled his head back.
"They've locked the door."
"Awwwww, they think that'll keep us out! That's adorrrrrrrable. Let me gentlemen." He pushed the two out of the way as he lifted a leg and kicked the door down with such power. The girls heard it from the bunker. "We can't stay here. We're gonna have to go to the forest. The forest in front of the mountains. Come on!" Simeona instructed as she got what they needed from the bunker and the three started to climb up a ladder. "Angie can you let us know when they're in the house or near so we know to speed it?"
Angie nodded as she leaned from the ladder and looked at the chute. Taron, Micheal and Kevin were scourging around the house as they sniffed, hissed, clicked and growled looking for them. Kevin then got to the kitchen as Angie looked up and pointed up to motion to get a move on. The two nodded as they did, up the ladder. Angie followed after as Kevin opened the cupboard and did a massive sniff. He chuckled sadistically as he whistled to Micheal and Taron to come over. "They went down here."
"The little bunkerrrrrrr, when we werrrrrrrrrrre kids. Little kids. Micheal?"
Micheal nodded as he jumped down the chute and Angie heard it. "Girls they're coming down the chute HURRY UP!"
"The top's not opening!" Simeona tried to open the top of the ladder bit but it wasn't working.
Angie looked back down and then back up. "I may have a idea! Jump down and use the knives to defen- NO WAIT! You did self defense one time right?! You told me!"
"Yeah I did!"
"Swap places and try to confuse Micheal while I get this open!" Angie said as she and Simeona swapped places.
"Ready?" 
"GO!" Simeona jumped down and landed as she darted to her head to Micheal landing on the mattress. She put her fists up as she stayed as far as she could be. "Micheal, we don't have to fight." She muttered as he looked at her with determination and tainted motivation. "Ssssssssimmy, sssssssweet Sssssimmy. Where'ssssss Angie and Amelia? They run off without you?"
Simeona didn't answer as she stepped to the side, Micheal copying after her with going the opposite way. "You would make a great hamssssster. Or a cute moth. Jussssst come with usssss and we'll help you and Amelia. Help you dissssscover your inner sssself."
"You're lying. You'll bring us back to the cult and kill us. No way."
"Come on Ssssssimmy. It might jusssssst be you and me right now but it can turn into me, Kevin and Taron againsssssst you."
Simeona glanced around as she looked for something to distract Micheal with. She backed into the ladder as she felt hopeless.
She then looked up as she heard Dew bark and whimper in fear. "DEW!" She sped up the ladder as she jumped out of the tube and slammed the top onto Micheal who was following after her. 
She ran back into the house through the window as she landed into the kitchen again. She looked at the cupboard door as it was torn right off. She tried to think of something to do. "ANGIE?! AMELIA?! DEW?!"
She gasped. 
"ROCKY! SHARPIE!"
She ran upstairs and went into Kevin and Micheal's room as she found both of them in their little boxes. "Come on guys. It's not safe here." She took them out carefully and kicked over a shoebox. She then took the leg from a pair of Taron's glasses and stabbed the top of the box. She put Rocky and Sharpie into the box and held onto them tight as she ran back downstairs. She heard Amelia squeal from the backyard as she sprinted out and saw Amelia and Angie in the treehouse above as Taron was trying to climb up. Dew was also up there with the two girls. "Simmy we couldn't get out! Whatever the cult did to the boys it's not what they did to me! We can't get away!" Angie exclaimed as Simeona looked at the shoebox. She then thought of something. "Taron!"
Taron turned to look at her and he smirked with a predatory look in his eyes.
"Simmy. Lovely Simmy. We thought Micheal was dealing with you. I guess not. You didn't best him. You rrrrrrran away. You do forrrrrrrget he can just climb back up the chute? You didn't exactly trrrrrrrap him down therrrrrrre."
"I know that. Just let Angie and Amelia go. Let them go and....and you can have me."
"Simeona no!" Amelia protested as Angie held her close.
"You'rrrre sacrrrrrificing yourrrrself forrrrrrr the girrrrrrls? Forrrrrr us? Forrrrr me?" Taron crept closer to Simeona, sniffing her as she leaned back. "Yes. I'll let you turn me into whatever you want. Just let the girls and Dew go, along with Rocky and Sharpie."
Angie and Amelia watched her with pity and waning hope.
"Simmy please, you don't have to do this. There might be another way." Angie pleaded.
"Taron."
Taron looked back up at Angie with a impatient look on his face.
"I'm a mutant as well. You can fight this. It might not be easy and I know that. It's the amulets that are also powering this."
"Ugghh. This is getting so tirrrrrresome. Just let us DEVOURRRRR YOU!" He roared as he jumped up for Angie and Amelia. Simeona jumped forward to stop him, not realizing Micheal and Kevin were behind her.
Then time stopped. Everything stopped. They all froze in place, everything froze in place.
"I am so truly sorry girls. I mean this from the bottom of my hearts. From the moment I got on that tram to Carigroyle I knew everything in existence's fate was sealed. If you like, I can show you how me, my grandfather, my brothers, my new friends. How we all defeated Zélote. So you know how to defeat me. And after I do so, I'll bring your friends back to normal again. Even you Miss. Please bear with me."
