<u>Somewhere in the depths of the Demon Realm</u>

"UGH!!"

Glowing silver, she clutched her chest as the feeling of death washed over her body causing her legs to give out. She broke out in a cold sweat and she was breathing heavily in the dark as she once again saw and....felt... the clown Doll's death play over and over again in her mind.

"Mistress?"

"Enter"

The timid Doll walked into the vast room with a sad face.

"Anya has been killed Mistress."

"DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!?"

She picked herself up weakly and turned to the cowaring Doll.

"I want revenge. I'll have that Demon's horns on my wall! Tell your sisters what has happened and leave me at once. I have planning to do....."

Glass crackled under Jaebeom's feet as he knelt to examine the corpse of the Rogue Doll that had intruded into the Tuan Manor. The garden was preoccupied by Demon Realm police conducting investigations.

Human looking Demons snapped photos of the various blood spatters, wreckage, and interviewed staff. Giant ogre like Demons with protruding muscles and crooked jaws held onto the thick chains of anxious Hell hounds as the demonic canines sensed where the Rogue Doll also passed by.

"He really showed no mercy huh"

Jinyoung came over with a black tarp and covered the mangled body and Jaebeom chuckled and shook his head. The Rogue Doll was so badly mutilated that they were completely unrecognizable. You wouldn't even believe this bloody pile of remains used to be a human.

The Grand Master blurred over to Mona's side where she stood near the shattered door as she overlooked the investigation with her face impassive.

"How are they doing?"

"They refuse to leave their rooms Master."

Last night the girls ran straight to Rea's room together and they refuse to leave it's protective confines. Mona could hear their cries of fear and whimpers and she frowned deeply but gave them space.

In all their years of being Dolls they were never exposed to a true Demon, especially their own Master who loved and cared for them for so long. It must've been quite a shock.

A true creature of nightmares Demons naturally exude an aura that immediately instills fear in all those who witness it, especially feeble humans.

"Where is he?"

"Master Mark? He refuses to shift back and has locked himself away in the basement."

Jaebeom rubbed his eyes exasperated and sighed deeply.

"And Chrysalis?"

"She has retired to her own bedroom. The commotion from last night left her exhausted."

"Does she know of what she is to become?"

"No sir, not yet""You're being a little bitch Mark...."

"Yes I said you are over reacting......"

"Well it's your fault, you shouldn't pretend to be something you're not...."

"Well you should've shown them a long time ago idiot....."

"Growl at me again, I dare you...."

The giant black Demon growled with it's teeth exposed as Jackson continued to lecture it. After remembering itself last night the Demon roared and quickly unraveled itself from Chrysalis and charged straight for the basement leaving a trail of wreckage in it's wake.

All night it's been huddled in the corner of the dungeon like basement feeling guilty for terrifying his Dolls. The blood of the Rogue Doll was crusting on it's fangs and body and it further reminded him of the monstrous way he acted and he refused to shift back to normal.

The surrounding walls were decorated with his claw marks and the floor was shattered underneath him where he pounded it mercilessly to relieve his frustration.

He was a monster. That's all he was and all he'll ever be.

"Yah don't ignore me Mark! You need to man up and help out!"

The Demon snorted and buried it's head into it's rock like forearms. Mark never wanted his Dolls to see what he really was. He didn't want them to live in fear of him, now he has completely obliterated their trust and shattered their image of him.

Jackson rolled his eyes and sighed annoyed. He had an idea but it was a really really bad one. He cracked his neck and stretched his arms out to loosen up and he scoffed and walked towards the exit slowly.

"Fine be that way. Stay locked up in this hole and feel sorry for yourself. I wonder where Chrysalis is? Maybe she'd like to finish what we started at the Ball before you so rudely interrupted...."

The Earth shook as the Demon roared menacingly and charged. Jackson's eyes blazed red, his fangs elongating and he quickly turned around and caught the Demon by it's horns as his own body exploded.

Looking like the devil himself Jackson's body morphed into his own massive True Demon Form. His skin became red and leathery and scarred with ancient symbols and designs. His shoulders widened exponentially with little black spikes protruding and his arms became as thick as Demon Mark's but they were pure muscle.

His legs morphed and became animal like, covered in black fur, and to withstand the force of the charge the giant onix claws of his feet dug into the ground. His short stubby tail wagged excitedly as he roared, like a T-rex, and his face elongated with a muzzle and razor sharp fangs gleamed in his mouth.

His eye holes sunk into his head and three red glowing orbs took the place of his eyeballs. Fire erupted from his head as his horns materialized, thick dark and ram like Demon Jackson flipped Demon Mark over his head and the force of the throw made the ceiling collapse as the massive black body crashed to the floor.

Mark quickly flipped over and charged again and this time rammed Jackson so hard both Demons began to glow their respective colors as they began to give into their monster like nature, completely leaving behind their conscious and reasoning.

Preparing for their next attack the door flew open and the iron shackles hanging on the walls came alive and trapped the Demons' arms and legs, tugging them to the floor and imprisoning them.

"ENOUGH! JESUS YOU TWO! HAVE SOME RESPECT!"

Jaebeom growled angrily with eyes blazing with Mona and Lady Lillith by his side. Mona's eyes lit up brighter as she made the chains tighten their holds and Jaebeom concentrated to keep the Demons from raising their heads with his telekinesis.

The monsters roared, shaking the entire manor, then finally accepting that they were stuck they calmed. Their glowing eyes dimmed and steam blew out of their nostrils as they relaxed.

"Master Mark I respect the way you are feeling right now but my manor is in ruin and I would appreciate it if you would repair it soon. I have meals to prepare."

Lillith bowed respectfully and Mark sighed. He shook his massive forearm weakly and Mona released the shackle and the giant cuff fell to the floor. He dug his claws into the ground and a blue light flooded from it.

The light traveled across the floor, the walls and soon the entire manor was glowing blue. The staff and Demons looked around in wonder as the wreckage began to sparkle and repair itself and once everything was back to normal the light dimmed and evaporated.

"Thank you Master"

Lillith bowed gratefully. He grunted and rolled his eyes and the head maid looked up and glared in warning. The Demon bared it's teeth as it forced itself to nod as if to say "You're Welcome", appeasing the maid and she traveled back up the stairs.

Heads turned to Jackson as he shifted back into human form. The giant shackles pooled around him and he stepped out of the ankle cuffs that were the size of large hula hoops and cracked his neck. He stretched, his pale muscular body covered in scratches and bruises but his eyes never stopped blazing.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked over at Mark.

"Feeling better?"

Mark narrowed his gaze and Jackson laughed. With his eyes flickering his body glowed red and he was once again fully clothed. Jaebeom walked over and punched him in the arm with so much force it could've easily shattered a human's arm and the sore Demon whined.

"You're an idiot I swear"Chrysalis tossed and turned in her sleep. Clutching at her chest she woke up with her eyes teary and she sighed deeply. It felt like something was calling to her desperately but as quickly as it appeared it disappeared.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes and she gasped. Every time she closed her eyes she saw the mangled body of the human girl laying on the floor surrounded by shattered glass and blood.

Menacing blue eyes flashed in her mind making her spine tingle and she quickly stood up and traveled out of her room.

"Who....who is it?"

Chrysalis frowned at Karin's uneasy voice. She knocked more softly on Rea's door and whispered against it.

"It's just me"

"Chrys? Are you sure? It's not some Demon trick to just get us to open the door so you can eat us?"

The room shuffled and Mari placed her ear against the door with the girls behind her.

"Tell us something only the real Chrys would know!"

"Ummmm......ummmm....."

"It's not her!"

"Wait! I just woke up I need a second to think....."

Chrysalis' eyes rounded as the door slowly unlocked and Mari peaked out timidly. She checked her surroundings quickly then pulled the raven haired girl inside.

"I didn't answer yet...."

"Exactly. You're such a clutz after you just wake up Chrys I didn't expect you to actually answer."

Mari sighed in relief and wrapped her arms around her sister. Hugging her back Chrys looked over her shoulder and her chest ached. Everyone was still pale and their eyes were puffy and swollen.

Faun held Karin closely and Talia and Rea nervously held weapons in their hands.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt? How did you get away from the monster?"

"Monster? You mean Master? He's not a monster."

Mari frowned and pulled her towards the bed and the girls crowded around her.

"Chrys did you not see him?! He just ripped that girl apart with no remorse! He was covered in blood, it almost looked like he reveled in it and just the way it looked and sounded....ugh....I think I'm going to be sick."

She walked over to the window and Karin laid her head in Chrys' lap and she sighed as she ran her fingers through her short hair.
