  Chapter 3: I know you now

  The sun came up I heard birds chirping and it was annoying me ,I didn’t see olive so I went downstairs and saw Mili ,Candice and olive eating they all had their mouths stuffed with food I laughed to myself. Candice pointed out that we had another client today I was kind of excited I was getting a little bored. It was a women client who wants us at her house. This was different because it is usually a male client. I was thinking how we are going to go when we have olive so we had to take her with us and she was a sweet, well behaved girl. We all arrived at Miss. Lima’s house that was her name and she was very nice, crazy and flamboyant and already drunk she was slurring her words it was actually funny. Miss. Lima gave olive cookies and cake.” she really loves sugar” said Candice, I smiled. We played dramatic and happy music. Mili wrote something down on paper and a plate of chocolate appeared. Candice told me that she he could feel the happy juice flowing in everyone, whatever that meant. Olive was sitting at the table cramming her face with sweets it was cute but what she really wanted was blood. Olive was half immortal as well but she had characteristics like a vampire but she wasn’t a vampire she just had a strange fetish for blood. I just felt like her mother for some reason in a good way. Miss. Lima invited us to dinner and it was very good. Miss Lima was a pretty women but kind of dumb. We talked for a while and then we were packing to go home. Miss. Lima was the funniest client we had. Olive hated going out in sunlight it had to be dawn for her to go out but not too much sun. Sometimes we had to cover her so she wouldn’t get hurt.

  We were looking for olive and Candice found her sleeping on the chair and she picked her up and we left to go home and put her to bed.” Maybe she should stay with us, live with us” said Erin. “Mmmhmmm” said Candice I couldn’t believe she was still eating. “I think that is a good idea “I said. Tomorrow we were going to her father’s house to get her things, her father didn’t deserve her. All of us needed some rest. In the morning we broke into her father’s home and went in her room, her room had a bunch of dolls and teddy bears. Olive had pictures of women and I asked “who is she?” she said “my mom” she replied while she was packing her things she started to cry again and said “my dad killed her because he found out she was something else”. “Like what?” I asked “an immortal” she said. I was a little shocked but I believed her, she was immortal. “I only stay away from people because they hate me and they think I’m strange” she said. I told her to don’t worry and she will be living with us for now she was very excited. “How did your mother die?” I asked ...”He burned her, set her on fire “she said... I can tell she was sad and wanted some one to protect her. I saw something on the floor a photo and it was a photo of a family I saw that olive was in it, that man in this house now is not her father he is probably the man that killed her real family and on the back of the photo it said" our little princess”. It was her family they were all musicians and she wasn't trained at that time she was still learning. Whenever she got hurt it would heal very quickly with the sound of music. Olive packed up all her things and I called Candice and Mili but no one answered they were downstairs standing watch. I told olive to stay in her room and lock the door so I went to see if they were there but her father grabbed me and dragged me to the floor. “Don’t touch her!” leave her alone!” Olive’s eyes turned to a light brown color she was getting angry and she was scared. Her father put a cloth over my mouth and I blacked out, I woke up in a dark, room it must have been a basement also it was cold. Olive climbed out the window and into the woods it was dark, cold and scary she was afraid of the dark but kept going. She was crying because she thought he was after her but she hid in some bushes but luckily he didn’t find her and ran back. Olive turned around and tripped on a rock. He chained me to the wall and I felt weak like he had put something in me. I saw Candice and Mili laying on a table unconscious .I had to get out finally Erin woke up and she was panicking. I told her to clam down then I heard a door open. It was olive. “How did you get out?” I asked ...” I climbed out the window and ran into the woods I was scared but I came back to get all of you and it was dark in the woods”. I was too weak to move but olive was strong and she let me go also she let Candice and Mili out. Mili carried Candice to the front door and let her rest there for a bit I was going to get to her father. Olive asked if she could help even though she was a little girl I still wanted to protect her but I let her help and she was immortal anyway. I was getting weaker by the minute, but I was actually sick and didn’t tell anyone, olive noticed and she was getting nervous. Candice yelled my name and I passed out again this time for good. “Olive it is just you and me now” Candice said.” Wait” I can help her “she said “help her by?” jumpstarting her heart “olive said. Candice was thinking and she agreed to help “autumn”. Olive took her hand and placed it over autumn’s heart and shocked it. “How long will it take for her to come back?” Candice asked ...”I don’t know” said olive.” Olives shock was so powerful Candice thought she would die and didn’t think her body could take it.

  “So you are immortal like you can never really die?” asked Candice, “Yes and no but I’m an immortal but if I get burned I can die" said olive. “Candice!” yelled Erin; “I’m in the basement” yelled Candice. Mili came running down and ran into the wall and said “I’m ok”, Candice wanted to laugh but she held it in.” “Where is autumn?” said Mili, “she is sleeping “said Candice “but she will wake up”. Mili told Candice to get the knife out of my pocket until the heard olives father, and they put me in another room, for some reason I thought as olive as my daughter and I needed to protect her from anything. Olives father came down he had a gun and started shooting, he took olive and pointed the gun to her head but luckily Mili stopped him and she was shot in the shoulder and the bullet came out of her she was fine, Candice took the knife and tried to stab him but it didn’t work and he pushed her against the wall. Candice got up and tried to take the gun away from him but he wouldn’t give it up and slapped her, olive hid in the corner and Mili told her to go to the room I was in. Olive was waiting for me to wake up while Candice and Mili where fighting. I knew that they were tired but my body wouldn’t let me move I was in intense pain .I felt them all call for me but I died. Mili unlocked the door and her father pointed the gun to her again but olive smacked it out of his hand. Candice went to help Mili, her father was holding a torch, Mili got a whip and it wrapped around his wrists and it ripped off. Candice held him down, olive turned on a music box. Mili told olive to go upstairs to hide and wait for them she ran. Mili slit her fathers throat not enough to kill him but so he can feel it Candice strapped him to the wall and lit his face on fire the music was playing and he got what he deserved. That man wasn’t olives father he just locked her in a room to torture her for years, he burned her family alive, but she was only three when the people came in the house and took her .This is why she didn't remember but once she looked at the picture it looked liked she had seen them before she was connected and she realized she had a family. Olive Lauren pimenova was born in 1892.

  Chapter 4: Death comeback to life

  We ran up stairs and called olive .she peeped out of a closet and ran to Mili, Mili picked her up and we went home. Candice ran olive a bath and she went to bed. Candice and Mili went downstairs and were talking about laying me down for good so that I can rest .Mili started to cry and olive cried her self to sleep they all hugged and slept together, it was hard for them that I was gone. I still had unfinished business, I need to find Malachi. I could barley sleep he deserved to be punished. I wanted to get back at him so bad. I tried to searching for him and I had a feeling that he was watching .My friends took care of olive and she was very happy. Olive wasn’t like other girls she was really gifted. And people like her may never know who they are and might be confused, they are usually female and are very smart and they can read your dreams only if they get permission they never really get sick .olive loved sweets and Candice touched olive’s hand and she st
arted to cry .I asked what’s wrong and she said “she is sad and it hurts” Whenever olive looked at Candice she got nervous because she never felt that depressed inside before .She ran to the kitchen and gave olive cake to get her hyper. Olive loved the cake we gave her and she could eat a whole one by herself .Olive had to be careful not to give herself always and she knew how to control herself. Olive could make something explode without touching it and she can manipulate anyone she only had to look into their eyes. She can also touch anyone or thing and make them come to life or have their life ended. She was very smart.

  When I find Malachi I will give him the worst pain in his insignificant life. I felt that they were looking for him almost everywhere, I couldn’t sleep because I kept thinking about him and only him I was in love but he betrayed me .I made a plan to kill him well how to kill him but then again I didn’t need a plan but tried thinking of ways to torture him. Sometimes is seems as if he was watching us waiting for the perfect time, maybe waiting until I’m alone to attack. Olive was like a daughter to us so if he touched her we would go crazy. Mili thought we could try scaphism on him but it was too risky .I had piano keys sharpened it for when I found him. I was laying downstairs and on a table they had put me. They were planning to bury me for good .Autumns burial was to start at night, they had carried her all the way in the woods, and olive was crying and barely speaking .There was a priest that spoke during my burial It was a man but a little older like in his fifty’s . I wore a black dress with a hooded cloak, thigh highs with suspenders. I can here their cries and it was about to get dark. All of a sudden I felt like I was screaming inside it was horrible pain, everyone was leaving. A music box was turned on and as it got louder something was happening. Autumn’s hair turned very black; her eyes were a chocolate brown as well, her skin was hot, her skin color remained the same, her hair grew longer and was wavy at the end, her heart beat was beating faster, her blood was flowing. Autumn opened her eyes and got up she fell of the board she was on and saw a little girl in the woods and I realized it was olive, she had never left. I never actually came back to life because of olive but it was because that I’m immortal but olives venom helped jump start me back up a little so that I can heal faster. I came to life because olive was playing a music box. She came closer and hugged me I asked her why she didn’t leave and she said “I knew you were not dead”. “Where is olive “asked Candice, “I don’t know I though she was with you “said Erin. They started to panic and looked everywhere. I knocked on the door and Candice answered it but she didn’t notice it was me and she hugged olive ,Candice then looked at me again and realized it was me ,Mili came to the door she seemed shocked that I was alive. “Were you dead? “Asked Mili “yeah but it wasn’t for long” “I heard music playing “I replied back. Olive fell asleep and Candice took her to bed. The next night we had people to take care of, the ones that killed olives family .We looked all around for them but found out they are dead so we found people of the ancestors and we knocked them out with gas and dragged them back home, strapped them onto tables .Mili pulled out a chair sat down and had a cupcake in her hand looked at one of the victims and said” This is really good” The man looked at her with wide eyes and tried to say something ,”but too bad you will never taste one in your life again” she said and laughed. I looked at them in disgust and said “I think I’m going crazy” Candice and Mili looked at me and said that I had a dazed look on my face it was like I was tired. Olive came down and drained every one of them; she drained the life out of them. All of them were men and they can’t be trusted.

  Chapter 5: You are mine now

  I spent all my nights looking for him, I was so tired but I couldn’t let him get away. I thought that he would still be watching us but know that we knew what he was doing he couldn’t have been watching us anymore. I was in the woods with Candice searching and I would do anything to get him even if it means taking down the male race. Candice and I went back home but this wasn’t good, the door had been torn off, and there was a little bit of blood on the wall. Candice ran upstairs to see if olive and Mili were there but they weren’t. It’s like someone forced them out. We went back out and started to search for them. Candice had an idea to go to Aiden’s house but he wasn’t there. I then thought about Miss Limas house maybe she went there it was worth a shot. I knocked on Miss. Limas door but there was no answer so we broke in I saw blood and things on the floor but mostly alcohol bottles. Her house was huge we then heard someone screaming form the basement; the steps were kind of endless. As we came down we can see Mili and Candace, olive was unconscious and Erin was awake she was scared, she wanted to tell me something but couldn’t I guess someone told her not to .I saw a gun pointed at me and it wasn’t a surprise that Erin came here Miss Lima was always naïve and drunk I don’t think she could tell what was real or not I saw her in the corner passed out with a bottle in her hand. “What did you do to them?” I asked angrily at Malachi ,”Nothing just gave them something that would calm them down and alcohol girl wouldn’t shut up so I just knocked her out with a bottle that is the only thing she can recognize” he said with a smirk.” Don’t come down “Mili said there was gas poured on the floor and Malachi had a lighter.” Don’t you dare touch them let them go all you wanted was me” I said “You know what you were the one I wanted to kill but you know ,you took way too long so I got extra victims well if you don’t mind” he said . “What did I do to you?” I asked “you got away “he said “oh and you killed my father you know the one When the house Blew up!!” he yelled. I wanted to laugh it was kind of funny, “let them go and you can have me “I said “No “he yelled. I punched him in the face and blood was flying, Candice ran over to Mili and olive and untied them, she carried olive out of the house I told them to stay out. He slapped me and I couldn’t get the lighter out of his hand I kicked him in the stomach and he pushed me down. I fell he was about to light it and I tripped him and I took the lighter and he ran towards me there was a sword on the wall I got it and cut his finger off, he passed out. Miss Lima woke up and said “well that was fun” she never knew what was going on, “my alcohol she said” “who did this “I pointed at him ... She looked at me then him “kill the bastard!” “Now I’m going to bed” and she walked up laughing. I carried Malachi out and I wasn’t done with him. He woke up and he was in our chamber. His eyes were open and he tried to get out, this time we didn’t have any masks on, Candice was sewing in piano strings into his body and he felt it because we didn’t numb him. We did this on every part of his body, I wanted him to feel the pain he caused me and I tied a very heavy rock around his testicals and we had him upside down and it ripped off. The sound of him screaming was music to my ears and Mili played the piano the whole time. He was bleeding to death .I got a cup and filled it with his blood and poured it over his body. We told olive to stay upstairs and wait she can handle herself if there was a problem. Mili got up and put on a music box, his heart beat was getting slower. I hated the smell of his blood and all of us left after his torture. The police came and all they got was a piece of music that we wrote about his torture all the notes on the music sheet symbolized what we did to him. The men that we had killed had their blood drained by olive. The funny thing is the house we had our victims in wasn’t our house; it was never ours because our house was a little further away and no one ever knew. I looked to my side and there was Joshua Monroe and he was Malachi’s twin brother he took my hand and kissed it he was my true love and I was never in bed with Malachi that was all a dream. Another client has called we went to the guys house and waited for him to come. We heard the door open and he went in Candice was behind the door and locked it; Candice sat in the chair I was in the corner. Mili pushed him onto the floor took pliers and pulled his wisdom teeth out with any medicine .He screamed so hard that the whole town could hear. He bled terribly form his mouth and left a music box, we left him there to think about what he had done. We played Malachi like a game. Olive was missing she would never leave our
side we looked all over for her and this was different her bracelet was on the ground who could have took her? I was having a panic attack. We needed back up this time we called everyone to look for her and no one has found her yet. Candice called our other friends all a hundred of them all are females and like us had special gifts. They had beautiful features like grey, blue, dark purple eyes and dark brown to black hair. The power to kill someone with music, power to manipulate with music while looking into someone’s eyes, power to free people with music , power to create explosions with music and some of them were into just taking apart instruments and stuffing them down peoples throats and could easily hit the right spot like the heart. They came to our house and brought weapons with them guns, bows and arrows, swords, and grenades. We stayed up all night planning our attack and we had a clue of who took olive, all of us left in the morning and traveled on horses. Levine’s brother took olive for revenge after killing his brother in a horrible way. None of us slept and Ariana came up to us and said” so where do you think they could have went?”” Where could they have taken her? “. Ariana had Dark brown hair and blue eyes, “I don’t know” I said, “It is ok we will find her” Ariana said. We went to almost every door in Paris and no one has seen her. “May I see her bracelet? “Asked Lux “sure” I said she held it tight with her hand and felt that she was in an abandoned area probably in a forest. Lux had grey eyes and black hair. We headed that way and found her lying there on the ground but then a couple of the girls fell into a trap and caught in a net the cut it with one of the razors on her bracelet, we heard something coming and the next thing we knew we were surrounded by his men and they had more people then we had. Lily shot one of her arrows at one of them but then it turned on her and went though her stomach she fell to the ground and Lucie pulled it out of her the hole closed up but she lost too much blood to stand again. His men were strong but I knew my girls were stronger he said that he was going to kill olive and take her immortality unless we stopped killing men. Doutzen shouted “Never!” she was like a warrior and would never give up if she had to. “If we defeat you and kill all your men you have to give us olive back and your head literally and we want your servants, and if you defeat us we will surrender and give you our powers but you have to set olive free” said Doutzen. “Are you crazy?” maddie said “he will kill of us and if he does he will kill olive as well and take everything we have!” “We have to try “said doutzen. Mili looked at me and agreed to what Doutzen said and soon all of us did agree on it and this battle starts tonight. We didn’t need any training. We had a friend that ran a circus in Paris and her name was Rain and she had the best circus around, she was a lion tamer and used mirrors to trick people. She always had tricks up her sleeve. Rain also is a musician and plays the harp and piano; she can make people believe what she wants them to believe while she played. Rain had long black hair, and brown eyes and she was wearing a short white peplum dress with a boy in the middle of her collar and blue heels. We walked into her tent and called for her, the tent was red and cream striped and it was huge. The mirrors were lined up and the piano was in the middle of the tent. I saw a rope come down and rain came down on it smiling “did someone call? “ She walked over to me and hugged; she than pulled a card out of my hair looked at it and said “you are in trouble” “how can I help?” Lauren and Lux went into her office to explain what was happening and had asked her to help. “I have a show tonight, but I guess I can help out and this should be fun” It was dawn turning into night and her show went on but she had only an hour to do because she decided to help with our problem. .Kloe, Doutzen and Lucie, had to lead our enemies into the tent so they had to run and as soon as they arrived the lights shut off. Lily, mili and I were in the safe house where rain kept her knives. Rain had her harp and started to shoot the arrows with flames. “You are all just in time” said rain “please sit” but they didn’t listen so she had a clear wire that tripped them and they fell into the seats and they were trapped into them. “We are going to play a little game, with mirrors” The mirrors turned black and jokers came out like the ones in her cards. The jokers ran around confusing them so they can turn against each other. Lily and I came out and threw darts at them and when music played they would explode. Rain went over to her piano and sat down, she laid her cards out on the table and the cards were death, life, evil, good and surprise and she played something sad and whenever she played the cards would move around and cut one of our enemies. Lux then threw knock out gas and then everything exploded. We came out clean Candice was getting tired but then she stopped and stood in her place for some reason and stood in the middle of the field and sat on the ground. She pulled out a violin and started to play but I didn’t hear any music but she was playing and everyone’s ears started to bleed and some started to scream and cry they all dropped to the ground. I checked their pulse most were dead and some were alive and in pain. Some of the girls were using their fists and lux was getting thrown into the air by Candice so that she could kick the servants in the face. I heard olives voice again and she was screaming I ran over and saw no one but a hole that was dug up and covered with dirt like something was buried there. I called Lux over and she helped me to dig and there was olive we dragged her up and checked her pulse and there was nothing. She was dead I went back out to where it was and the girls gathered around and it was quiet. His servants were gone as well out of nowhere. Everything was silent until doutzen told everyone that we couldn’t give up and we needed to get revenge for her death. I wanted to get revenge but I couldn’t move or barely speak we searched for Levine’s brother all night and couldn’t find him. Lauren was still determined to search but there was no way we could he was gone. Lo wanted to see if we could save olive but couldn’t revive her Lo could literally pump life into someone by using her hand and the little energy they had in their body they had left but no use. Doutzen was angry that we couldn’t do anything else about him and I didn’t blame her. Candice cleaned olive up and placed her on the ground and left her where we found her near the hole. Olive felt that no one ever wanted her or needed her or to be her friend. I felt what she felt I felt unwanted and unneeded at times well all my life. We left for home and went back to the house, and sat there in silence and Candice wanted to take matters in her own hands but I wouldn’t let her I didn’t need her to die. Soon there was a knock at the door and there she was olive alive and well. She ran over to us and I asked “How are you alive?” “How did you get here?” I was happy but shocked. “Your friend brought me here, umm your friends” she said “My friends?” I asked I was curious” Candice and Doutzen went outside and there was Joshua he had Levine’s brothers head on a plate ,the smile on Doutzens face was priceless she wanted his head more then anything. “How did you wake her up?” I asked Joshua,” I can do what Lo does; I can manipulate anyone’s power and I ‘m a little stronger than her” he smiled. Lo was getting pissed because he was arrogant was slowly irritating her. Mili, autumn and Candice were asleep and they were breathing slowly, silently and peacefully. They looked so beautiful sleeping and they could feel the warm air hit their skin. They climbed out of the black bed and they were half nude. They bed had some kind of symbol on a latch. They woke up from their dream; autumn and Candice walked on stage and took their masks off. They were resting for months now and they were hungry. They put clothes on and walked onto the stage and the floors were covered with blood. Just sweet, warm blood from men who were not so lucky. The show did end, and the lights were turned on every one of his servants well guests were in the chairs Dead with blood everywhere. I looked up and into the mirror and there she was. The little girl was me and I had finally found myself. And as for Joshua he was on the ground near my feet and I leaned down on the floor and took some blood on to my fingers and sucked on them .I carved his pathetic mouth side by side and blood was seeping from it , so who is smiling now?! “Joshua was crazy to even believe me, to think I actually loved him when he betrayed me” autumn yelled. Joshua was
nothing to me he used and abused me, I’m not stupid don’t try to run circles around me because I will catch you. He could not fool me, none of these bloody men can! As you can see your dreams can come true. I hate when people are in my spotlight. I had a red velvet cupcake on the top of my piano and took a bite; Joshua’s blood was in the icing and it was very sweet too. This was kind of like sweet musical revenge. The lights were being turned down and soon engulfed with darkness as I took a silent breath. I was lonely every time I got close to someone they would leave me. Having no one is the most painful feeling ever. My problem is that I get attached to people quick, and it hurt so bad when they left I couldn’t explain how hurt I was but my music spoke my feelings. I hope everyone who left me, and betrayed me will get it ten times worse I want them to know how it feels. I fall in love so easily it kills me in the end when they say good bye. I don’t want anyone to leave me but I know someone will hurt me. Even people can make you feel lonely even if they are in the same room. They might be there but sometimes they are not really with you. I need to feel a connection with someone and if you can’t feel it just leave. You feel that emptiness that makes you cry and wonder do they really like you. , do they really love you, do they even want you? This feeling makes you feel unwanted and unneeded. They get tired of you and throw you out to the side like they never even knew you .Tears rolled down her face as she looked around hopelessly. Autumn smirked a little and said “I guess no one can leave now and they thought I couldn’t do it”, autumn was laughing under her breath as if she went crazy. Autumn was crying harder breathing deep knowing no one was with her. She had no shoes on and felt the red fluids on her feet as she walked. A chair was on the middle of the stage, she sat down on a black stool her fingers covered in blood slowly her fingers press the keys playing her dark anthem.
