Chapter 5: Gemma The Tormentor

The next morning Lian awoke to find Lily was gone. In front of him was a girl who was half his size dressed in a long white nightgown with frills at the bottom, her hair was curly and blonde, her eyelashes matched yet her eyes were that of sea-foam that pulled you in.

He thought what had happened was a dream. The scythe had become human in identity as she smiled at him. Her hands were playfully placed behind her back as she jumped into his arms, his face reddened.

"A-Aylin?!" Lian shouted.

Her arms envelope around his waist. She smiled happily as she dived in headfirst snuggling Lian with all her might cooing in the safety of his hands and arms wrapped around his body.

"Master…"

"M-Master?! I am not fit to be anyone's master!" He yelled.

"But of course you are!" She grinned.

"You belonged to my father, why are you not sad?" He asked.

"Because I have been given a new life and shed my old skin…I am of moonlight and love before I was courage from the sunlight, Soleil is no more!" She explained.

"Moonlight…" He whispered.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

A banging on the door itself made him shoot up, knocking Aylin off the bed. Answering, he found Nina and Nour all smiling and staring back at him.

"Is something going on?" Lian asked.

They said nothing. This sent chills down his spine, Aylin followed after Lian as they traversed the simple corridor that was a straight line to a badly painted door in bright yellow located in the back of the parlor itself.

The room was like the rest of the place painted with angelic white walls. A large wooden oak table in the middle and seats all in a clean line; at the end was a woman dressed in a fine silk bright pink suit dress.

Her gloved hand rested under her chin. She was content seeing the young boy come into the room with his now humanized weapon.

"Hello, Lian."

"Hello?" Lian responded.

He gawked at her for several seconds before thinking why she looked so familiar. Lian's mind wandered to why Lily was stubborn so stubborn the day before when it hit him.

"You are the hurt stranger who banged on the door!" He shouted.

"My name is Gemma, Lian…please."

Gemma directed Lian to sit down in a chair beside her. The two twins stood behind him with the most menacing looks on their faces peering down at him from above with a quick glance.

"Where is Reaper?" Lian asked.

Reaper comes out from a curtain where the kitchen is situated holding tightly to Lily. His hand placed over her mouth, Lian rose from his seat.

"Lily!" Lian shouted.

The Reaper's eyes were glazed over. Lily was fighting to be freed from his possession. Lian felt glued to the spot unable to move his legs or lift his foot.

"Don't you dare move!" She laughed.

"Lian, take me!" Aylin shouted.

"A-A…" Lian stopped.

"So Merricks scythe finally has a new legacy." She huffed.

She jumped on the table crawling over to Lian. Taking his hand softly she bent down he didn't know what to expect placing himself on guard.

"Why are you doing this?" He questioned.

"You and that weapon are keys and there are big rewards behind that." She smiled.

Lian became distracted as Nour began to snicker and then Nina even the Reaper became unable to function hailed with gales of laughter. The room became a spectacle to his tortured ears.

Lily began to audibly cry making Lian attempt to free himself. Gemma shoved him so hard that he landed on his backside. He sat these despairing over his little sister wailing in the Reaper's arms.

"Lily!" Lian screamed.

Gemma paced around Lian helpless from the position he was stuck in. She had somehow known about the parlor. He wondered who else knew about this place?

"Shut up boy!" She threatened.

Holding out a whip at Lian. She was ready to draw it at him at any given second, with an effort he soon realized his hand was now paralyzed unable to hoist himself up.

"The spell is finally taking effect I see." He giggled.

Aylin was growing weaker the longer Lian was placed under. She collapsed to the floor leaving the new weapon wielder in confusion.

"A-a…I can't…"

"Why won't you say her name!" She demanded.

Leaning in downwards Lian gasped out. Coughing, sticking out his tongue, rolling it in his mouth completely puzzled by this feeling numbing his tongue.

"Enough! I had enough of your childish games!" She yelled.

Crack! The sound of the whip's raw leather thumped the wooden floors catching him off-guard as she whipped it around several times before she smacked him in the face.

"What the hell do you want with me!" He shouted.

"Give me her damn name or face being tortured!" She threatened.

"I…I can't something closes my throat up every time I try."

"Bull fucking shit!"

"It's the truth!" Lian replied.

Lily looked away from the two. She squeezed her eyes shut. Gemma became interested in Lily all of a sudden.

Reaper dropped Lily to the ground, Gemma grabbed her up by her jawline moving her head left and right examining her face.

Lian struggled with all his might to be released from the enchantment. His body unwilling to work with him, he tipped over to the side crippled by the magic; concentrating he couldn't even get a finger to wiggle.

"Lily, do you perhaps have a secret you want to share?" She inquired.

"Leave her alone!" Lian begged.

Gemma picked Lily up by the collar of her dress, she was terrified but stayed silent in her wake.

"If you won't talk then I will bring you both with me!" She howled.

Angrily she took Lily and smashed her into the floor over and over. Lian was horrified in Gemma's presence watching her get on top of the child bashing her bloodied face again and again into the unsealed cracks even rubbing her face into sharp grains pressing her forcibly muffling her cries for help.

"Lily! Stop! I will do whatever you want!" Lian pleaded.

"You share her sin…" Gemma said.

Licking her lips from the blood that had sprayed from Lily's open wounds. She laid there sobbing, but unmoving.

"Lily…I am in hell…" He despaired.
