Three Hearts / Chapter Twenty-Eight: Trapped!
Three Hearts
  • "Athena! Athena!" said a voice, "Athena!"
  • The girl was finally able to open her eyes. And then…she saw the vision of Vincent Kim and Thomas Wang. Vincent pulled her into his arms.
  • "I'm glad you're okay." he said.
  • "I'm glad you are too. But how–"
  • "Do you know how far and wide we've been looking for you?"
  • "Well, I–"
  • "You've been gone for too long! It's been about two weeks!"
  • Athena was shocked.
  • "Two weeks?" she asked, "But how?"
  • "Remember the fog that you were in? The one that you ran into on your way here?"
  • "I think so…why?!"
  • The young man began to tear up. Vincent then sobbed softly in Athena's arms.
  • "She wants to kill you so much!"
  • "Who?!"
  • Suddenly, someone unlocked the door. It wasn't long before Athena had figured out they were held captive at.
  • We are back to Underland…aren't we?
  • The hooded figure appeared. Her pet Raven had flown from her wrist and snatched the Crimson Heart out from her neck. But the necklace defended itself and gave the bird an electric shock. It then dropped to the ground, where Athena was able to pick it up.
  • "You have what I want, dear sister."
  • "What do you want from me?! I have done nothing wrong to you! Please! Let us go!"
  • "Oh, really," Odile cackled, "Then, do you remember how you killed my pet Krampus?"
  • "Of course! He was so terrifying for the people of Riverfield. Something had to be done. You…you are nothing but a monster!"
  • She realized how her home in Hearst Castle was called the Palace of Lucifer. It was all because of her sister! She was already the Devil itself. The guards then grabbed the girl out of Vincent's arms. Vincent attempted to run after her. But Odile held him back.
  • "Only my sister can join me for her procedure."
  • "Procedure?" asked Vincent.
  • "Well, of course," Odile smirked, "I've always wanted everyone in Decelis Academy dead already!"
  • Whilst everyone was waiting for Athena's return from her supposed "procedure", Heli eventually cried. Hinata was right next to him.
  • She then said, "She wouldn't do any harm to him, would she?"
  • But she was wrong. When Heli was fully comforted, he hurt the sound of Athena screaming. Heli heard her screaming a few good times. And then, he burst into tears.
  • He was taken down and from the dungeon. He wore a white patient gown.
  • Where am I going?
  • He was then strapped down on a rolling stretcher and then passed out. He woke up and found himself with an unconscious Athena. Shion, Odette, Vincent and Thomas waited outside, seemingly to have found their way out. He noticed how secure they had tied him. He struggled to move about.
  • But then, they put on padded wires on top of his forehead. At first he was horrified. But he remembered what they do when they would pad you with the wires.
  • ECT, he thought, I think I'm getting therapy…or something.
  • But it was no ordinary ECT procedure. This one was killer to the brain and the heart. He saw the unconscious Athena. They began this "procedure".
