(03:38):
Bates Greetings, Comic book nerds and horror fanatics. Yes, it's
finally happening at Long Last, my official second issue. All
I gotta say to my writer is, it's about goddamn time. Okay, Okay,
(04:00):
I know you're not here to listen to me, rant
you're here to dive into my second issue, so let's
get to it. I'm gonna warn you right now, there's
gonna be moments. That's all I'm gonna say, since I
don't wanna give away too much right off the bat.
Seeing where I am right now, it's definitely not a
(04:20):
continuation of my first issue. I'm at that point in
my life to where high school is definitely behind me.
Now I'm a student here at Strickfield University. Like during
my Strickfield High years, I'm a cheerleader. I replaced my
sword and axe Combo of the Villagers for the vicious
(04:42):
Snake of the Serpents. And if that's not enough, I'm married.
For those of you who may not know, last Christmas
was when my man proposed to me. Gabriel truly decided
I was one woman, even though he's nine years older
(05:04):
than me. He wooed me and won me over. In
the beginning, it was just about sex. Once I'd gotten
my spider powers and my internal mutations from them, I
went for him when I was feeling my mommy vibes
and slept with Gabriel several times over time. Though he
(05:28):
must have felt it was more than just sex. I
guess I felt the same way because I let him
start dating me. Gabriel's also got this wonderful little girl
named Millie. I met her during my first night when
I became the mutant Spider. I rescued her in the
(05:50):
backwoods of Strickfield after her bitch of a mom kidnapped
her to keep her from Gabriel. Christy had lost custody
of men Milly after it was discovered she was selling
drugs in her home while Milly was around. Guess Milly
told her dad because it wasn't long before her parents
(06:12):
returned to court, where Gabriel won full custody. Christy wasn't
having it and kidnapped her shortly after. Thanks to me,
I got Milly back for her daddy. Little did I
realize that Milly was the daughter of the Beta Theta
Pie fraternity guy my Mommy vibes had selected to be
(06:35):
my mate to make babies with talk about a small world.
Last Halloween, Gabriel brought her Tricker Treating at the Strickfield
Community Center where I was working with my cousin Charity
to hand out candy. For the record, Daddy and daughter
don't know that I am the mutant spider Girl. You'd
(06:58):
think secrecy would be a bit big faux paws in
a relationship, but it turns out it's one of the
big things that's kept us together. I don't know why,
but we decided to keep our lives a secret and
just learn about each other as we go. When we
had our wedding at the courthouse after my graduation, my
(07:20):
friend Aileen Donnery was our witness. Around last Christmas, Gabriel
and I revealed our first names. Since we were getting married,
it only made sense for us to know each other's
last names too. I still look at the wedding ring
on my hand and know I'm Felicia Bates now with
(07:44):
Mirn being my maiden name, and that means by marriage,
I'm also Millie's new mommy. Yes, she does actually call
me mom now. Did I really go into my relationship
with Gabriel too fast? Probably? But I'm not regretting being
(08:04):
the new woman of the Baits household. In fact, I'm
living with Gabriel in what was his parents' house, where
we were living together whenever he'd houseit for them. His
parents decided to stay in Florida and gave us their
house in Strickfield as our wedding present. I'm in the
kitchen with a glass of blood and this morning's copy
(08:27):
of the Strickfield Journal. Not much going on today. I
got breakfast on the table for Milli and am setting
another plate down for my man when he comes in
for the record. Milly and Gabriel think I'm drinking a
protein shake. Damn it, you'd think by now I'd be
(08:47):
used to that lady killer smile. Gabriel loves flashing, but
he still makes the butterflies in my tummy flutter something
fierce gross. Millie snaps when she sees her daddy snatch
her new Mommy into his arms for a nice long
peck on the lips. When we come apart, we see
(09:09):
Milly's weirded out face. I point right at her. You
better behave or no more trick or treating this year,
I tease. I sit down and share mourning pleasantries with
my family before Gabriel heads off to work. Then I'll
drive Milly to school and head off to class myself.
(09:32):
Not only am I a student and a family woman now,
but I'm also still a superhero. It is tricky trying
to juggle all that comic book nerds, but you know what,
I wouldn't go back and change anything if given the chance.
After getting everything cleaned up, Gabriel kisses me goodbye and
(09:53):
heads off to work. He's got a management position at
Mire and Automotive that he got with his degree. Milly
and me take off so we can both get to school.
After dropping Milly off at Strickfield Elementary, I drive over
to the University. Once I'm parked, I go and walk
(10:14):
to Wilder Hall, the student union building, where I can
get some of that great coffee at the bitter end.
You ever get the feeling all you gotta do is
that one particular thing, and all hell breaks loose For me.
It seems like all I gotta do is order coffee here.
(10:35):
Not two minutes later, these people are running through Wilder Hall,
acting like maniacs and screaming at students as they're waving
guns around. Oh you've got to be kidding me. It's
a familiar woman with her two men. Last Halloween Eve,
when I first changed into my mutant spider form, I
(10:58):
had to get little Milly back from Christy in the backwoods.
What happened after, According to Miranda Mason Phillips article in
the Strickfield Journal, the sheriff deputy I gave Millie to
called for backup before going to where I said the
criminals were hauled up. Christy and her two friends were
(11:19):
found and arrested, and when they went before the judge,
they didn't get that big of a sentence. Four months
in glen View each. Of course, they didn't learn anything
and went right back to their criminal ways once they
got out. And don't even get me started on how
Christy would start shit with me in front of Gabriel
(11:41):
over Milly. Gabriel finally got fed up and got a
restraining order on her. But I digress. Getting back to now,
it looks like Christian companies clutching Strickfield National Bank money bags.
Since it's a little warm to beware a hoodie, I
(12:03):
move to where nobody's gonna see me, take most of
my clothes off and change into my mutant spider form.
It takes two minutes before I finish the metamorphois from
human female into giant spider. It takes two minutes before
(12:27):
I finish the metamorphosis from human female and into a
giant spider. As I'm making my way over to Christy
and her pals on my eight legs, the bitch is
pointing at some of the students. You sit your asses
down right now. When the students are screaming on seeing me,
(12:48):
the crooks don't get the hint. It's only when I'm
right behind her two male friends and tapping their shoulders
that they finally turn around. Holy shit, you. Christy shrieks
in terror. The two men drop their money bags and
guns and run in opposite directions. No problem. All I
(13:13):
gotta do to snag them is shoot a web at
each one. They're both screaming in mortal terror when I
pull their legs out from under them. Then I give
a good yank to bring them right back to me.
Christy screams and runs for it, but doesn't drop her
gun or money. After I web. The fella's up for
(13:34):
the cops. I turn my attention to Christy with my
eight legs. I'm to the doors in no time. Then
I remember my coffee and head back to the Bitter
End to see if it's waiting for me. The barista's
knees are shaking as he's backed up against the wall.
I take my drink and resume pursuing Christy. She gets
(13:57):
in her car and speeds away. Good things she did.
This leaves things to just her and me. I use
my webs and my eight legs to lessen the gap
between us. It's with the help of a string of
semis that I can just walk fast along the tops
of them. Then I finish my coffee when I take
(14:21):
a good leap off the leader and spring toward Christie's car.
Blitz Craig. I yell, knowing her windows are down. I
hear her scream when she feels me landing on top
of her car. Then she's trying to swerve to shake
me off. Don't you know how spiders work, lady? I
(14:44):
call to her, sorry, but you ain't gonna shake me.
And now I work my webs and gum up the
back tires to slow her car down. And the finishing touch,
I use my front legs to rip the hood clean off.
Then I pull the entire motor out to toss it
just outside Gunter's Square Park. When the car finally stops,
(15:08):
Christy bolts from it, screaming, get away from me, Get away.
I sigh and make her scream louder when I snag
her legs out from under her. She's screaming and thrashing
when I pull her back to me. And you gotta
love how everybody's got to have their phones out to
snap picks of the mutant spider Girl. Hell, even Miranda
(15:32):
Mason Phillips just so happens to be in the neighborhood.
Looks like I'll be on the front page of all
the papers again. By this time, I ain't scaring as
many people as when I first came onto the scene
looking like this. When I almost have Christy, I come
off her car and lift her to press her up
(15:53):
against it. After I web her all nice and neat
for the police. I look her right in the face. Congratulations,
you and your buddies, just one another free trip back
to glen View. When will you ever learn? Now? Christy
glares at me and starts calling me everything but a
(16:14):
child of God. I could make a bar of web
to use as soap to wash your mouth out, But
what fun is that? Instead, I simply web her mouth shut.
Then she tries yelling at me through the webbing. By
now the police are here to arrest Christy. The police
used to just shoot me on site, but I think
(16:37):
we kind of came to an understanding since then, especially
since I've been helping them when I can. One of
the cops opens Christie's sack to reveal the bank money
and nods. Then they read Christie her rights before they
got to cut the webs and take her away. I
slip out while nobody's really looking my web. Once I'm
(17:01):
back inside Wilder Hall, I change back to human form
and put my clothes back on. I packed another T
shirt to put on over my damaged one. Shit, I
missed my class. I mutter. Time to head that way
and come up with an excuse as to why I
couldn't make it and get the assignment. Like I said,
(17:26):
juggling being a student, a superhero, a wife, and a
mommy wasn't going to be easy. Perspective, Madeline Donnerly, even
now being out in daylight is still so exciting. I've
been following you since coming back to your Earth Felicia,
(17:48):
what did you really think you? Bell's and Aileen was
gonna be rid of me? Sure, Bells threw my keyster
into that portal last Christmas Eve. The fact I'm back
means I didn't just fade away. You should have taken
the old bloodstone I had on me. Because you didn't,
all I had to do was call my Mary Worth
(18:09):
back out and let her fix everything. Sure I could
have came back for all of you again, but I'm
feeling quite playful. Since you were the one I couldn't
touch when we fought in the backwoods, I'm gonna target
you first. Didn't take me long to figure out. All
(18:29):
I gotta do is stay far enough away from you
to not trip your spider sense. Not only do I
know your name, I even know what you look like
as a human. Now I know you just got married.
I know you got a little girl. She ain't yours,
but you and that kid he act like you're genetically linked.
(18:50):
And when it comes to Christy, I know all about
her too. In fact, this little vampy knows just how
to create more of my faith favorite pastime, carnage. For now,
I'm gonna keep an eye on Christy and her two palis.
I'm licking my fangs and holding myself and squealing with
(19:12):
excitement at how fast my latest plan comes together. You
go ahead and keep pretending like you got the perfect life,
Felicia Miron, enjoy it while you still can, because I'm
gonna be taking it all away from you. If I
can't know love and happiness, then you ain't gonna either.
(19:33):
Since I don't want all them blood bags seeing me
fly in my human form, I drop and transmorph into
a wolf. I make it over to where I still
won't trip Felicia's sense. Then I feel a small blood
bag come and pet me. For the record, I killed
kitties for a lot less, but I'm gonna let it
(19:54):
go because it's part of the spying. I let the
kitty keep petting me until Felicia's long gone. Then I
walk away and keep close to the piggies. After they
finish cutting Christy free, they stuff her keyster in the
back of the squad car. I want to execute my
plans so badly right now, but I gotta let the
(20:17):
piggies take Christy to the station. Ooh, I got a
better idea. When I get close to the car, I
transmorph into mist and move into the open door. All
I gotta do is wait just a little bit longer.
(20:39):
As soon as we're far enough away from everybody, I
make sure Christy sees me. When I become me again,
I point right at her. Have I got major plans
for you? Christy can panic all she wants, because she
ain't going nowhere. I strike and bite her neck. Phase
(21:00):
one complete. When the piggies turn and see this little
VAMPI and back they jam on the brakes open in
the back door was a mistake. I get out of
the car and easily knock the piggies away from there.
I take their pigmobile and drive off fast. For the record,
(21:21):
Christie ain't gonna come back exactly like me. In other words,
the sun will kill her when she turns. I get
Christy into an abandoned warehouse and hit the brakes. From there,
I get out of the car and pull the door down.
When I turn back to Christy, she's screaming. She's feeling
(21:43):
like I was feeling when Patrick Gunter turned me back
on my earth this earth. One bite from a vampy
like me is all it takes. When Christy's done screaming,
She comes out of the car all transformed. Love your
new look, I tell the eyes and fangs are a
nice touch. If I do, say so, what have you
(22:07):
done to me? Christie screams, Then she groans and falls
to her knees. Now she's holding her tummy. Oh God,
I'm so hungry. Be right back, I tell her. After
snagging us a couple of blood bags. Christie's loving being
(22:30):
like me. In fact, I'm explaining how much better it
is being a vampy than being a blood bag. Oh
she's really loving when I'm telling her how she can
get back at Gabriel. I want to drink up that
little bitch he married too. Christy growls. I can't believe
(22:51):
Gabriel married that little slut right out of high school.
She ain't even old enough to drink or smoke. Talk
about robbing the cradle, and Millie calls her mom. Now
she won't even talk to me no more. I raise
my finger. Just one thing. Okay, you do not hurt
Felicia in any way. Understand she is all mine. Do
(23:17):
what you want with Gabriel or even Millie. Christy laughs.
I think I like you already. And that was how
a beautiful partnership was formed. Only now I gotta make
sure I teach Christy to clean up after herself by
ripping the head off of her meal, explaining, we don't
(23:37):
want no more like us, since a single bite is
all it takes. We don't want to get too many
of us to where we run out of food the
way it happened back on my Earth. At first, I'm
ready to tell Christy she can turn her two guy friends,
but decide against it. Christy will be more than enough
to make the plan work. After I ripped the head
(24:00):
off of my blood bag, I explained my plan to her. Ooh,
that's right. It's two days till Halloween, and since this
Strickfield celebrates it all week long here in Utopia, my
plan just keeps getting better and better. Perspective, Felicia Bates.
(24:29):
Today was a hell of a day another where I
had absolutely zero time for me. If it wasn't classes,
it was being the Mutant Spider Girl. I had to
stop a gang fight that broke out at Strickfield Town
Center Mall. Then there were two exams I had to take.
Remember that class I missed earlier when I had to
(24:50):
deal with Christy turned out there was an actual exam today.
Somehow it completely slipped my mind. Anyway, my professor refused
to let me take it at first. I literally had
to beg her to understand and explained my situation aside
from the mutant spider superhero aspect. She reconsidered and let
(25:15):
me take the exam in the campus library on the
honor system. I'm sure I passed, since Gabriel often helps
me study. In all, I was twenty minutes late in
picking Milly up from Strickfield Elementary. She never gave me
a hard time, but I still felt terrible. I think
(25:36):
she must have known how I felt, because she came
and hugged me. It's okay, mom, she said, and I
broke down and cried. Millie's not my little girl, but
she's grown on me so much since last Halloween. I
know I don't deserve her or Gabriel, but this is
(25:57):
my life now. When I come home with Milly, Gabriel's
there to open the door and let us in. Then
he takes one look at me and knows he ends
up catching me after his latest Lady Killer's smile makes
me wobble. You okay, honey, he asks in his suave voice.
(26:18):
I give my sweet smile in return, not caring Milly's
right there. He pulls me to him and gives me
a long kiss. Milly isn't interested in the show, as
I hear her quickly moving to the stairs to go
up to her room. When we come apart, he caresses
my cheek. I love you. Then he brushes my new
(26:41):
tears away. Talk to me, Felicia, it's been a long day.
Then I tell him everything, including how I was late
picking up Milly from school. Then I groan shit. I
promise to make you that steak dinner you wanted tonight.
I'd better get started. Gabriel doesn't get mad. He don't
(27:05):
let go of me either. Then he shakes his head
just a little. Don't you worry about making dinner tonight?
Then he turns me around. I gasp when I see
the tables already set. He holds me from behind and
squeezes me to him a little. You take on a
lot being the woman of the house. Believe me, I
(27:27):
do appreciate you wanting to make our marriage work. I
couldn't have asked for a better wife or mother for
my child. He nibbles on the side of my neck
a little. I close my eyes and moan in response.
Then he says, I got done at work and got
to leave early today, so I came home and prepared
(27:49):
all this. Now, I hope you're hungry, because there's plenty
of food here. I turn and hold my husband to me.
Am I really dreaming. I truly have the perfect life
right now. I have the most wonderful man and a
little girl. I'm glad, calls me mom. I keep feeling
(28:11):
like I'm gonna wake up and see I've been dreaming
this whole time. But I smell my man and remember
he's the one I married and share a bed with
every night. Gabriel and Milly are truly my life and
my heart. I love you. I choke back. I'll get
(28:38):
Milly and tell her it's time to eat. Gabriel says, no,
I'll do it. I tell him, backing away, I gotta
go see my other babies too, damn it. His lady
killer smile almost makes me fall on my ass, but
he catches me so I can balance myself. We peck
(28:59):
real quick before I go upstairs. I find Milly in
her room with my babies. I still have my original
tarantula Creepy. Gabriel and Milly surprised me with another tarantula
for my birthday, and I named this one Crawley. When
the spiders know I'm there, they come to the glass
(29:20):
of their aquariums. They won't do that for Gabriel or Milly,
only me, probably because they know I'm one of them.
I spend a little time with each spider, taking one
out and petting it. Milly also pets them, though they
don't respond to her the way they do me. After
(29:41):
putting them back, I feed them and ask Milly if
she's ready to eat. Yeah, Milly replies. Then she lets
me walk her down to the table where Gabriel's waiting.
It turns out Gabriel has more surprises tonight. Not only
did he prepare this fabulous dinner today, Okay, I can't
(30:02):
actually eat steak or other solid foods. I have to
drink blood for sure. I can also drink protein shakes, coffee,
and even sodas. If I try to eat anything solid,
I have this gag reflex that absolutely will not let
me swallow. Gabriel made me this wonderful broth that tastes
(30:26):
just dreamy, and let's be honest here, I'm good when
it comes to cooking. There's things I can prepare well,
but my husband's definitely the master chef between the two
of us. Anyway, Gabriel never asks why I don't eat
solid foods. Again, that's part of that mysteriousness that defines
(30:49):
our relationship, kind of like how I accidentally learned our
family's name is Baits. Millie aced to test in school
and couldn't wait to show me her paper. I picked
her up. Of course, her first and last names were
on the test paper. That night, I admitted to Gabriel
how I found out and revealed my last name to him.
(31:12):
Gabriel was quite surprised he'd been seeing a Miron. To
be honest, I often wondered what would happen if he
learned that. He was quick to tell me that he
wasn't going to throw me away. He'd admitted he'd had
Mirons wrong him before, but he knew me well enough
to know I wasn't like many of the members of
(31:35):
my family. Then he made a joke saying, Milly would
never have let him break up with me. Anyway, thinking
about it, he's probably right. Getting back to the surprises,
Gabriel takes Milly and me to a movie. I look
forward to movie nights for two reasons. If it's just
(31:55):
Gabriel in me, we usually have some good date night fun.
When it's the family, it just feels wonderful to be
part of a unit like this. It's also fun watching
Milly have a good time. I've never been happier in
my whole life, and being the woman of the Bates
House isn't going to get old. After the movie, we
(32:19):
go home and have a little more family time before
Milly gets tired. I take her up to bed and
read her a story. Milly and I say good night
before I turn to leave. I love you, mom, Milly
says behind me. I turn back to her. I love
you too, Milly. I go back to her and give
(32:42):
her a hug before I let her fall asleep. Then
I go back downstairs and find Gabriel waiting. His lady
killer smile makes me weak in the knees again, but
I hold firm and make it downstairs. I come into
his waiting arm and let him hold me. Soon we're
(33:03):
kissing away. Before long, we're playing some steamy adult games
in the living room. Gabriel and me make passionate love
on the couch, and again I can't help crying whenever
this man loves me. In the beginning, my spider like
attributes caused me to go into a mating mode of sorts.
(33:26):
I mean, I literally wanted to make lots and lots
of babies, just like other spiders. I found Gabriel standing
outside his frat house at Strickfield U. I wasted no
time and went to him. He took me up to
his room and gave me everything I needed. No matter
(33:47):
how many times I came to him wanting to make babies,
I never got pregnant. I'm thinking I'm more spider than
human inside, so Gabriel and me aren't compatible. I never
imagined we'd fall in love. Funny thing, the longer I
stayed with Gabriel and Millie, the more my spider drive
(34:12):
to make babies diminished. Maybe it's because I have my
ideal mate and I'm helping to raise Milly as if
she was my own natural child. Anyway, Gabriel has done
nothing but love me and be my rock. He's always
there when he knows I had a rough or shitty day. Likewise,
(34:36):
I'm always there for him when he needs to vent.
He's never once got short or belittled me in any way. Yeah,
we have minor disagreements on things, but nothing we couldn't
ever work out. Gabriel's hurt me with his love more
than I can process. Pray, Pray to the universe every
(35:01):
day that I never lose him. I prayed to the
universe one more time, and then we spoon up together
on the couch under a comforter and fall asleep. Perspective,
(35:22):
Madeline Donnerly, it's Halloween eve. I spent the beginning parts
of it training my new bestie and helping hone her skills.
She's got full mastery of her new powers now. I
even confirmed my first sire. I even confirmed my first
sire ain't nothing like me. I got all these needle
(35:46):
powers from all the blood I drank from other vampires
back home and from bells here in Utopia. Christie's just
a normal vampire. I confirmed this by making her stick
her hand out in the sunlight, unlike me. Now her
hand started to burn. I even used a holy wafer honor.
(36:09):
It don't hurt me no more, but Christy got mad.
Christy knows she'd better not make this little vampy angry.
I know I can end her anytime I wanna. And
you know what, I might just do that once she's
served her purpose. Now, if she proves herself, I might
(36:31):
just keep her with me as both my sidekick and
for company. In other words, Christy, you're on the free
trial period. Anyway, we're right outside the Bates house. Now,
Christy got the key to get inside. I tell her
to give it to me. Believe me when I say
(36:53):
getting inside a house without an invitation ain't never gonna
get old. Problem is, I can't invite Christy in since
I ain't the owner of the house. But I know
the man and his kid are home. All I gotta
do is use the same trick I did on Anale's
mirror last Christmas Eve. To fix that. I find the
(37:16):
man up in his bedroom. How you doing, buddy? He's
sure surprised to see this little VAMPI who are you?
What do you want? Then he comes at me. Even
though this blood bag's also very meaty, he's gonna find
out he ain't nothing compared to me. I lift him
(37:37):
up off the floor by his throat and slam him
back down to it. He don't fight me no more
when he looks into my eyes. Now, buddy, Christy is
right outside. I tell him, let's go down and see her. Huh.
Gabriel nods. Then I get off him and let him
(37:57):
get up. He follows me back downstairs, where I open
the door to reveal Christy, your ex wife here just
wants to talk to you. I tell Gabriel, don't you
think you ought to invite her in? Gabriel nods and
motions for Christy to come inside. Now that she's been
(38:20):
invited in, she comes right into the house. I close
the door back up and lean up against the wall. Okay, bestie,
I did my part here, I say. Now you get
to have your ex hubby and your kiddy all to yourself.
I'll wait right here. Christy squeals like she just won
(38:43):
the lottery. Then she vamps out in front of the man.
Something inside Gabriel makes him shake my glam because he's
aware his ex wife's in the house and that she's
a vampy. He tries to fight her off, but she's
too strong for even him. Now I'll never take a
(39:06):
back seat to that girl you cradle robbed ever again,
she growls. I'm taking you and our baby back now.
Gabriel screams when Christy easily takes him down to the
floor and gets on top of him. It's even easier
for her to bite Gabriel on the neck. Soon he'll
(39:28):
be one of us. Then we hear a sudden gasp
nearby and look to see the little girl on the stairs.
Christy looks up at Milly, her face still vamped out
and blood dripping from her mouth. Come to mommy, baby,
(39:50):
Milly screams, No, go away, You're a monster. I hate you.
Oh does that ever make Christy pea? She screams and
rushes to the stairs. You are my child, you ungrateful
little bitch, Christie roars. Milly screams again and tries running
(40:13):
back upstairs, but she runs right into Mommy after she
warps right in front of her. Milly keeps screaming and cries.
When Christy lifts her off her feet like I said, brat,
you're mine, Christie reminds her, baby, and you'll always be mine.
(40:33):
I laugh to myself when I see Christie bring Milly
to her and bite her. Milly screams her loudest. Yet
I'm so excited now, such beautiful carnage. I hear hissen
and see Gabriel's turned as he's getting up. Christie brings
(40:56):
her daughter down as she's crying from being bit. When
she sees what happened to daddy, she's already turned herself.
Christy looks at me, now, thank you for giving me
my family back, my pleasure. I point to the door.
(41:16):
Now let's get out of here. You can spend time
with your family while we wait for Felicia to come
and find us. Do you think she will? Christy asks?
Don't you think we should wait and surprise her. I
thought about that, but I want her to lose her
freaking mind first. Don't you worry none, bestie, she'll find us,
(41:42):
trust me. Christy nods, and then then I raise my finger.
You know what, Let's leave one of your family here
for Felicia. That'll be a great way to get her
on the right track. He's looking at me like she
don't want to do it, but she groans and asks
(42:05):
which one. I laugh a little. You choose no surprise.
Christie wants her kitty. Gabriel stays behind to wait on
Felicia to come home. I tell Christy she can go
ahead and take her kitty out to the backwoods. But
then the brat does something I ain't expecting. She screams
(42:30):
and comes right at me and starts hitting me with
her little fists. It don't take long for Christy to
remove the little monkey from me and take off with her.
As for me, I'm gonna stick around and see how
this bit of dramatic carnage unfolds. Perspective Felicia Bates. I'm
(42:58):
turning onto my road in my suv. Usually I'm the
one who does the grocery shopping. Milly often comes with me,
but she wanted to spend time with her daddy tonight.
I'm finishing a protein shake I picked up when I'm
pulling into the driveway. Hmm, no lights on. If Gabriel
(43:19):
and Millie were gonna take off, he would have texted
me no, his suv is still here. Hmm. Maybe they're
playing video games in the basement. When my car stopped,
I get out and go inside to turn on the light.
I'm ready to go back out and start bringing in
the groceries when I feel my spider instinct. Now I'm scared.
(43:46):
Gabriel Milly, I yell. Now I hear some slurping noises
coming from upstairs. When I reach the bottom of the stairway,
my spider instinct is loud. Then I leap up with
my agility and make it to the top the sounds
coming from the guest room. I quickly turn on the
(44:09):
light and see see. I scream when I see two
people sucking on Missus Randal, the sweet old lady from
next door. I know she and Gabriel's family always got
along pretty well and talked about things a lot. She
might have come over to see how Gabriel and Millie
were doing. Only now Gabriel land and you that vampire.
(44:39):
Madeline donnerly gets to her feet. I don't know if
I'll ever get used to seeing this version of her
as a full grown adult. I was beginning to think
you wasn't coming home, spider lady, she says in her
mousey voice before she rips the head off of missus Randal.
(44:59):
Gabriel lifts his head and hisses at me. Now he's
looking at me like I just caught him in bed
with another woman, Only he's got blood all over his face.
I point to Madeleine, what have you done? Why? I
just wanted your man to see how the other half lives.
(45:21):
She answers and laughs cruelly. Seems to me like he's
loving the vampire life better, don't you think. I scream
and spring right at Madeleine, not caring if Gabriel sees me.
I grab her and put her right through a nearby window.
She falls right to the grass and turns onto her side.
(45:44):
I'm so beyond pissed, I ain't even paying attention to
my spider instinct. Gabriel roars when he grabs me from
behind and sinks his fangs right into me. Gabriel, no,
oh God, no, shriek, knowing I'm totally and utterly fucked.
I remember how Bella Tabon said all it took was
(46:08):
one bite from her to turn people. That's probably how
she turned Gabriel. Now he just bit me, which means
I'm gonna turn. I really don't want to hit my husband,
but I ain't got a choice. I shove Gabriel away
from me, so he flies right out into the hallway.
(46:30):
I turn and face him, still holding the place where
he bit me. Gabriel gives me that lady killer smile,
except it don't work on me this time, probably since
this ain't exactly the same thing. How could you? I
choke at my husband, and where's Milly hungry? Gabriel groans
(46:57):
and rushes me again. He takes me down and tries
to drink from me again. Yeah, hold her down, good,
I hear Madeline telling Gabriel, I can't wait to see
what spider lady blood tastes like. Knowing that Madeleine turned
my husband into a monster, I scream in desperation and
(47:20):
throw Gabriel back out into the hallway. He bounces off
one wall, then another, and starts tumbling down the stairs.
I quickly get back to my feet and tighten my fists.
I swear I'm getting a couple of good hits on
this monster before I turn. Madeline shrieks when I belt
(47:43):
her in the face as hard as I can, destroying
her glasses. She shrieks again when I hit her a
second time. This time both of us go out the
broken window and land on the ground. I don't give
a rat's ass who sees I keep laying into Madeline
with one blow after another. My last blow makes Madeline
(48:07):
fly right into a nearby garage. She slams up against
the back and falls to the floor. Awe, are you mad,
Madeleine teases, Then she vamps out and comes at me.
The two of us fight again, tearing our way through
different back yards. At one point, I web Madeline up
(48:30):
to a fence and lay into her repeatedly. She's crying
out as I'm just belting the living shit out of her,
which means that I'm again not paying attention to my
spider instinct. Suddenly, Gabriel reaches us and grabs me. He
roars and slams my head right into a nearby pickup truck.
(48:53):
I'm seeing stars now and no, I'm stunned. Christ my
neck hurt so badly. Now I'm gonna turn any second.
I just I just know it. Phase two complete. I
barely hear Madeline say I don't get to feel myself
(49:13):
finished turning. As I sink into blackness, I feel myself
being shaken, Felicia. I force myself to wake up and
shake the cobwebs. Then I see that awful face and
(49:34):
glasses and grab the person they belong to. I'll kill you, Madeleine, Felicia. Stop,
the mousey voice yells. I come to my senses. There's
enough of a street lamp coming into this garage for
me to see. I was about to pulp a Leen Donnerly,
(49:54):
a dead ringer for Madeleine. I let her go fast,
knowing I almost killed a very dear friend. I fall
onto my side and curl into a ball as I
start crying at everything that's just happened. Felicia, Come on,
Aileen urges, you've got to tell me what's wrong, what
(50:18):
happened here? And why did you call me Madeleine? Then
she answers her own question when she gulps, oh shit,
you mean I pull myself together and let Aileen help
me sit up. Then I nod, yeah, vamp. Madeleine found
(50:39):
her way back here. She took my husband and probably
my stepdaughter. I quickly shove Aileen away when I remember
run Gabriel bit me. I probably turn by now. Then
Aileen gives me a weird look as she points to
a mirror inside this garage. I can see you, Felicia, what.
(51:06):
I quickly go look at the picture sized mirror. Sure enough,
I do still have a reflection. When I touch where
Gabriel bit me, it don't even hurt now. I move
my tongue to feel my fangs, even though I can
make my fangs appear the same way a vampire does.
(51:27):
They're normal at the moment. Then Aileen touches me with something,
and I see she's holding a cross against my forearm.
You're not burning, she tells, me, Are you sure you
were bit? Positive? I assure her. Gabriel bit my neck.
(51:48):
Aileen shows me a little vile. Okay, one more test.
I let her splash me with what must be holy water.
I don't feel pain or start to burn or blister.
I was definitely bit, Aileen. I assure her. I wouldn't
make that shit up. Aileen shrugs, You're definitely fine. You
(52:13):
have a reflection and the cross and holy water aren't
working on you. I can still feel my super strength
and know I still gotta drink blood to sustain myself
as part of my spider attributes. Then then my spider
blood must make me immune somehow. What happened here, Aileen asks,
(52:40):
I would like to know the answer to that myself.
A familiar voice ads. Aileen and I both turned to
see Lucy Bella Tabon Bella's daughter. She's the spitting image
(53:02):
of her mother, except she's got a nice set of
girls like me and has long pigtails that unnaturally hang
out and over her shoulders without touching them, almost as
if they levitate. Okay, long story short. Here Bella accepted
(53:22):
the second Chance compact from hell Weaver. I know Aileen
and me were both there. She got to change her past,
which in turn made a Leen in me forget all
about Bella. Lucy Bella was summoned from Ravenhenge the Tabe
on Homeland. She came to Strickfield to find the two
of us. While Bella went on a quest, her grandma
(53:46):
were allowed to call her. Grams cast a spell on
both of us to make us remember the former timeline. Well,
comic book nerds, it looks like I'm having guest stars
in my second issue. I explain everything I know to
my friends. Aileen gulps. Looks like we've got to go
(54:07):
into the backwoods of Strickfield again. Assuming I'm right, Aileen,
Madeleine still got that cabin back in there. That's probably
where Madeleine's got Milly. I've got to get her back.
Lucibella points at me. Now, let's assume you're correct about Madeleine.
(54:28):
Your husband has already tasted human blood. There's no return
for him. Now you know what must be done. I no,
I can't hold it together anymore. I come apart. I
should have seen this coming after what happened on Christmas Eve.
(54:53):
I sink to my ass and hold myself as I
ball my eyes out over, knowing I lost my husband
forever and perhaps also Milly perspective Lucy Bella Tabon. Mother
asked Great Grams to summon me for the longest time.
(55:16):
Both Hell and the Tabon homeland were home for some time.
I remained in Hell after what had happened during my
first experience. When Mother brought me into the mortal realm,
she wanted me to be able to blend in with
the mortals and live as one of them. I told
(55:36):
Mother many times that I wanted to just stay in Hell. However,
Father took mother's side, saying that even the elder Princess
of Hell had to learn the ways of mortals. I
conceded and let Mother bring me to Shore City, thinking
it was a good place to begin. I quickly became
(56:00):
came disgusted when I saw the mortals and how they
treated one another. And my parents expected the elder Princess
of Hell to live among these mindless cretans. Mother had
a difficult time with me about my displeasure. Oh, she
had no idea the worst was yet to come. Mother
(56:24):
and I eventually turned down an alley. As we turned
into a connecting one, we saw four mortal males looking
to rape a single mortal female. They had already beaten
her and were tearing her clothing from her body. I'd
already seen displays of mortal men forcing their superiority over
(56:47):
their females and was enraged enough. But when I'd seen
this truly disgusting sight, I became enraged and went at them.
Mother couldn't stop me as I violently attacked those four males.
I wasn't content with just beating them within an inch
(57:07):
of their lives. I literally tore them apart. I was
splattered with their blood by the time I had finished
with them. Fortunately, Mother took the female to safety and
saw to her injuries. I was still angry and argued
with Mother, who had to glam the female to make
(57:30):
her forget what she saw me do. From there, we
returned to Hell. Make no mistake, Father was very disappointed
in me. He agreed with Mother in telling me that
I did not need to slaughter those mortals. However, I
(57:50):
refused to accept being chastised for my actions and argued
with my parents. In the end, they both agreed I
wasn't ready to in the mortal realm. At least, we
were in full agreement that I wouldn't return there again. However,
things changed. Great Grams called out to Ravenhenge and asked
(58:15):
for me, specifically. At Mother's request, Father informed me I
was going back to the mortal realm, but with certain conditions. One,
I wasn't allowed to kill mortals unless I had absolutely
no other choice. Secondly, I had to go to Strickfield
(58:37):
and find Aileen Donnerly. Once I did, she was to
be my guide. I also had to obey her commands. Begrudgingly.
I crossed the gateway from Hell that went into Ravenhenge
from the Tabon Homeland, I walked to Strickfield. Once I arrived,
(59:08):
I found Aileen Donnerly and won her trust, finally bringing
her before Great Grams. After she restored Aileen's memories to
include her former time line with Mother. The two of
us now reside with Great Grams at her home. Recently,
Mother contacted us, I'll admit there are times I long
(59:32):
to return to Hell. Mother addressed this, You are the
elder Princess of Hell, Lucy Bella, and one day one
of our thrones may be yours. You've got to learn
to rein in your feelings and become more understanding. Then
she pointed to Aileen Donorly. That's why I want you
(59:55):
to keep following Aini's lead. She raised her finger and again,
I'm going to remind you not to kill any mortals.
I was irritated with Mother. Why should I, the elder
Princess of Hell, have to live among mortals? These beings
are so barbaric and stupid, not to mention selfish. I
(01:00:21):
wish my parents would give me a little more credit
on my feelings and understand that I truly love them
both enough to where I ultimately obey them. Again, I
listen to Mother and will stay in the mortal realm
with great Grams and Aileen Donnerly. Also, if you're noticing
a difference in how I'm speaking, it's because I understand
(01:00:44):
American English much better now. Before I called it mortal speak.
When you think about it, it still is. American English
is just one form out of many. I squat down
in front of a sobbing Felicia, Miron, pull yourself together.
(01:01:04):
We have to go to the backwoods of Strickfield and
strike those vampires down where they might spread their malignancy
to this entire mortal world. Aileen approaches me. Don't you understand, Lucy,
Felicia just lost her husband. I glance over my shoulder.
(01:01:25):
I know, Aileen, I'm also thinking of little Milly. She's
a vampire now too. Felicia chokes out. So I counter
suppose Milly hasn't tasted mortal blood yet. All we'd have
to do is kill the vampire who sired her to
(01:01:45):
learn this. Come on, Felicia, don't give up. I know
you've lost your husband and I am sorry, but still,
don't you think he would want you to fight for Milly.
This seems to encourage Felie. She collects herself and rises
to her feet. You're right, Lucy, We've got to go
(01:02:06):
to the backwoods and get Milly at least long enough
to see if we can save her soul and if
she's forever tainted, I inquire. Felicia points directly at me.
You will never kill Milly, Lucy. Then she seems ready
to break down again. If Milly's tasted human blood, then
(01:02:31):
I'll deal with her myself. I put a hand on
her shoulder. I never said i'd finish her. Felicia, I
show a little emotion when I say you trusted me
to care for Milly when you needed a sitter before,
and each time she trusted me without question. Having grown
(01:02:54):
as close as we have, I would feel sad if
Milly couldn't be redeemed. Felicia is still distraught, but seems
ready for battle. Let's go get those goddamn vampires. I
know I'm eager for battle. Father has told me many
times that I am with Mothers fiery temper perspective. Felicia bates.
(01:03:27):
I really like Lucy, but she irritates me sometimes. Still,
Graham says a leen in me. Gotta take her with
a grain of sault, since she's here from hell to
learn our ways and live with us mortals. Okay, let's
be honest. I'd rather have this devil girl on our
(01:03:48):
side than have her against us. Just to make sure,
I head into Millie's room and confirm Creepy and Crawley
are okay. When they're happy to see me, I give
them both both a quick petting and promise them I'll
be back. Then I leave the bedroom and head back
down to my friends. We leave the house and figure
(01:04:11):
out we got to walk out to the backwoods since
those vamps destroyed the vehicles. It's like they're doing anything
and everything they can to royally piss me off. Tonight,
when we're far enough away from everybody, especially all the
many tricker treaters, I'm ready to transform into the Giant Spider.
(01:04:34):
It's times like this when I wish Halloween wasn't a
whole week long here in Strickfield. Now I'm suddenly being
lifted off the ground. I can get us to the
backwoods much faster than your eight legs, Lucy says. I
really envy her being able to fly like Superman. Soon
(01:04:55):
Aileen and me are looking down. We're zooming right over
the backwoods Strickfield. I think I can see grim manor
the Haunted mansion in here. When Lucy asks where we're going,
Aileen and me both guide her. Before long, Lucy lands
us a little ways from the cabin where we found
(01:05:15):
Madeleine on Christmas Eve when we came here to save
my older sister from her Do you think. Aileen stammers, oh,
I'm sure they're waiting for us in the cabin. Lucy
answers fast, we should just take the fight right to them.
I agree, I reply, but we do not hurt Milly
(01:05:38):
in any way. You understand me, Lucy, She points at me.
I don't appreciate you giving me orders, Felicia. Then Aileen
points at her. You will do what, Felicia says Lucy.
We can't hurt Milly. Lucy softens up. Agreed, Aileen. She
(01:06:00):
looks my way. We won't harm Milly, even if we
find out she can't be redeemed. I promise, at least
when Lucy gives her word, it's a done deal. Far
as I know. She's never once broken a promise. Wait
a minute, Aileen suddenly says, Felicia, remember what happened the
(01:06:23):
last time we were out here. Aileen and me are
on the same page. That's why we keep a watchful
eye and make sure Madeline doesn't pull out a compact
or that she's close to any mirrors. Lucy looks at Aileen.
Mirrors you mean like your true twin cousin? Exactly, she answers, bells,
(01:06:45):
and I should have seen it coming. Knowing our Mattie
could summon Mary Worth, we completely missed it. Vamp Mattie
called on her version of the ghosts and she almost
destroyed us. If this evil Mary you're talking about him
merges again, then I'll deal with her myself, Lucy assures us.
(01:07:06):
Now let's take the fight to those vampiric abominations. I
put my hand on Lucy's shoulder. Please let me try
and get Milly out. But Lucy does me one better.
If any of us reach Milly, then we'll take her
to safety. I gave you my word, Felicia. Aileen has
(01:07:30):
her gadgets her toys as she calls them, strapped to
her forearms. Ready. Aren't you planning to change into your
spider form, Lucy asks me. I will when Milly's out
of harm's way. I assure her, don't worry, I still
have spider powers in my human form. Fair enough, Lucy agrees.
(01:07:56):
Let's move. The three of us make our way towards
the cab, and we know Madeleine stays at Then I
feel my spider instinct danger incoming. Suddenly, Gabriel and and
(01:08:20):
Christie jumped down from the trees where they were waiting
to ambush us. Christie wraps her arms around me while
Gabriel grabs hold of Aileen. I'm so sick of you
always being in our lives, Felicia, Christie roars in my ear.
You are the other woman here. Gabriel and Milly are
(01:08:43):
my family, not yours. Now I'm seeing the whole picture here.
Christy was the one who turned my husband and Milly
after Madeline turned her. If Madeline's truly been spying on me,
then she's seen all the con flicks Christie and me
have had, especially over Milly. Milly could never stand her
(01:09:06):
own mother because of all the times she had people
over at the house to sell drugs right in front
of her. Milly was five at the earliest when she
was seeing these deals go down, but she was old
enough to understand what was going on was very bad.
Whenever Milly called her mother out on it, Christie lost
(01:09:28):
her shit and yelled at her again and again. She
even had the balls to slap Milly across the face
a couple of times. Gabriel finally noticed how red Milly's
face was and asked about it. At first, she wouldn't talk.
Finally she broke down crying and told her dad everything.
(01:09:50):
Gabriel took Christy to court. The end result, Christie had
her weekends with Milly revoked and ended up in glen View.
And tell you how many times Christy called Gabriel and
started fights over Milly. She even got into it with
me several times when I came into the picture. Getting
(01:10:11):
back to Now, Lucy's ready to help get Christie off me.
Then this wolf suddenly leaps out to attack Lucy. Before
the wolf can bite into Lucy's shoulder, she swats it away.
You dare attack me, Madeleine? Yeah, Lucy's pissed. Now I'll
(01:10:31):
make a rug for my bedroom in hell with your hide.
Madeleine turns back into human form and stands ready to
fight Lucy. I'll kill you today, vampire, Lucy promises, But
it won't be one. She'll be keeping. I come in
between them, No, Lucy, Madeleine's mine. They're all mine now.
(01:10:58):
Aileen looks my way. When my two friends see I'm
deadly serious. I tell them you two can get Milly
out of here, but this is my fight now. Christi
vamps out. The ugliest I've ever seen her yet, I mean,
she looks really crazy. I don't know if it's because
(01:11:18):
she's got so much hate in her or she kept
taking the drug she sells. Who can say for sure?
None of you are taking my baby? Christie yells. Now
she looks right at me, and you will never love
her ever again, after what I've done to her. Millie
suddenly appears and opens her mouth to show me her fangs.
(01:11:44):
She hisses, I know exactly what Christie's doing. She's intentionally
starving her own daughter to make her ravenous. This works
in our favor, meaning Lucy was right. Christie never fed
her so, so she hasn't tasted human blood. She can
be human again, and all I've gotta do is kill Christie.
(01:12:09):
How do we save Milly if we cannot fight? Lucy asks. Quickly,
I tighten my fists and give Lucy her answer. When
I leap right at Christie and unload into her face
with my spider strength, she cries out and flies back.
I quickly snatch my little girl to me. Then I
(01:12:30):
turn and hand Milly to Lucy. When she takes Milly,
I tell my friends get her out of here. Now.
I know Lucy wants some of Madeline, but knowing she
has little Milly is good enough for her. When she
turns and nods to Aileen, the two of them leave
the backwoods, not waiting until they're gone. I lay into
(01:12:54):
Christie again. The wicked mother tries to mount offense against me,
but she doesn't understand just how pissed off she's made me.
When I feel Gabriel trying to grab me from behind,
I easily swat him away. It's three of us against
one of her. I hear Madeleine say I'm about to
(01:13:14):
prove her wrong when I lift a dazed Christie. Then
I show her I can be a savage myself. You
tried to take my family, you bitch. You've taken my husband,
and you attacked and turned a defenseless little girl, your
own daughter. There's no forgiving that. Christy cries out when
(01:13:38):
I punch her hard in the gut to break into
her body. I quickly grab her heart and yank it out,
making her fall down instantly. Then, right in front of
Gabriel and Madeleine, I crush Christie's heart to a pulp.
To make sure Christie's finished, I stomp on her head
(01:14:00):
and crush that to a pulp too. Skull and brain
matter can easily be seen in combination with her blood.
I didn't want it to come to this between Christie
and me, but things since changed for the worst. Gabriel
hisses at me, now still vamped out, claws extended. Do
(01:14:23):
you really want to fight me, Gabriel? Do you really
want to fight me? Gabriel? Of course he's gonna fight you.
Madeline answers for him attack her. Gabriel obeys her and
comes at me. I'm getting choked up inside. This has
to be some horrible nightmare I'm having. How can I
(01:14:47):
be fighting my own husband. I can see he's clearly
beyond saving. Unlike Milly, I can't undo what happened to him.
Christy turned Gabriel with justice single bite, which is how
her kind of vampire from Madeleine's universe works. Madeleine also
(01:15:07):
made sure he's tasted human blood. Even if I somehow
manage to kill her, Gabriel can never become human again.
He'll always be a killer. He'll always be a danger
to the innocence I swore to protect with my spider powers.
I just never imagined I'd ever have to fight my
(01:15:28):
husband like this. I cry out in anguish and quickly
punch Gabriel to knock him down. After he falls, I
get him onto his back using my foot. I've got
to do to him what I just did to Christy.
Gabriel must not be allowed to continue like this. I
(01:15:48):
have to end his suffering. But I can't. I scream
and fall to my knees. Madeline Donnerly laughs scornfully at me.
(01:16:10):
Didn't you hear me when I told you before, goodness
is weakness? Patrick Gunter took everything from me, spider lady,
So you're gonna know how I felt at losing everything.
In fact, I was counting on you and your friends.
Take in Millie. Sure you saved her soul, but she
(01:16:32):
didn't count on the little surprise I planted on her,
did you? Then? She chuckles? A little Phase three complete.
I tighten my fists and change into my spider form.
My clothes all tear away from me, except for my
t shirt. My sleeves tear away, and the front tears
(01:16:55):
halfway down the middle. When I'm finished, I'm in my
full form again. I'm much more powerful now than when
I'm human. I point at Madeleine. I don't care if
we both end up in hell. To day. I don't
care what it takes. I am gonna kill you, one
way or another. Madeleine quickly shifts into her wolf form
(01:17:20):
and comes right at me. She's trying to bite me.
I ain't gonna tell her I'm immune to her bite.
Remember Gabriel bit me earlier. His bite hurt me at worst,
but I never turned. Madeleine yelps when she gets a
handful of pricklys. She falls away and then tries to
stand up. But my venom is working fast. I know
(01:17:44):
it won't keep her down long, but it'll let me
grab hold of her and web her up. Suddenly, she
turns into a bat and flies drunkenly away. You ain't
gettin gettin me that easy, Charlotte. No, I call out
and snag her with a web. I keep shooting webs
(01:18:06):
on her. She changed into a mist to escape on
Christmas Eve. I don't want to give her that chance again.
Then I leap at her and snatch her with my
front four legs. You're staying right here, Madeline. I tell
her we're gonna fight right here. One of us dies
today right here. Madeline changes back into her human form. Clearly,
(01:18:31):
my venom's not affecting her anymore. Have it your way.
Then she hauls off and belts me across the face
to daze me. Perspective Aileen Donnerly, Lucy and I get
Milly out of the backwoods of Strickfield. We're close to
(01:18:53):
cousin Daisy May's house, but I don't want to involve her.
Let's take her to Graham's. I tell Lucy, agreed, she replies,
Looking at Milly, she seems to be completely human again.
Felicia must have killed the vampire who bit her. Just
the fact that these cowards have no qualms about attacking
(01:19:16):
little kids like this, it makes me sick. It makes
me think about how mean Martin, my older brother, kept
wanting to beat me up when we were kids. You
just know he'd still like to beat me up now. Yeah,
I may be a little squeaker, but I'm not a
defenseless little girl, not after everything Bell's has taught me. Still,
(01:19:41):
why do I have a very bad feeling about little
Milly here? Lucy put Millie down for a second, I
tell her. When we reach a street light, Lucy gives
me a strange look, but listens to me when she
sees what I'm seeing. She looks right at me. I
(01:20:03):
think she's still under the vampire's trance. I cannot undo this.
But before Lucy can move to interact with Milly to
remove the glam, the little girl surprises us by holding
up an open compact. Then I realize the compact is Madeline's.
(01:20:23):
Knowing I've again underestimated how deviously clever my twin cousin's
evil counterpart is, Milly stares into the mirror mary Worth,
Mary Worth, Mary Worth. Lucy snatches the compact away from
Milly a little too late. That's when the evil red
(01:20:45):
Energies force Lucy away as they go into Milly and
transform the little girl into something far worse than anything
Madeline herself could have ever done to her. Soon, the
evil version of mary Worth is back. What sort of
treachery is this, Lucy growls. I quickly give Lucy the
(01:21:09):
cliffs Notes version. Clearly, Maddeline transferred possession of mary Worth
to little Millie to set a trap for us, knowing
we'd likely take the little girl back. Did you really
think you had seen the last of me, Aileen donnerly
vamp Mary asks, Then she chuckles, I would love to
(01:21:33):
see you try and stake me again, either vamp Mary's
now immune to that, or staking her again would mean
killing Milly. No way I'm risking killing that little girl.
I don't even think I could do it if she
had become permanently vamped. Vamp Mary looks at Lucy. Now,
(01:21:56):
you look a great deal like Bella Tabon, but you
are clearly not her. And now I'll show you that
you're no match for the elder princess of Hell. Lucy
Fire's back. No, then vamp Mary hits Lucy with her eyebeams.
(01:22:17):
Lucy flies back with enough force to knock two big
trees over, making my own jaw drop. Seriously, how did
vamp Mary become more powerful? Then I see the look
on vamp Mary's face when Lucibella Tabon gets right back up,
her tops damaged at the back and shoulder where she
(01:22:39):
hit those trees. But Lucy herself isn't hurt at all.
Bells warned me her oldest child would be quite the handful.
Is that all you've got Lucy Fire's back? It's going
to be tough calming her down now. Lucy utters allow
(01:23:00):
battle scream, and leaps right at Mary. The ghostly vampire
easily swats her away. Only problem is Lucy won't stay down,
especially not when she's proven to be far more powerful
than both her mom and her dad. I know I
can't just stand by and let Lucy do all the work.
(01:23:22):
I've got to use my Einstein brain and come up
with something and fast perspective. Felicia Bates, Madeline and Me
(01:23:43):
have been fighting all over the backwoods. Madeline's all about
creating chaos. She calls my Earth utopia, and I'm thinking
she plans to turn it into another vampire apocalypse, but
with her in charge this time. I just want to
kill her for taking my family away from me. She
(01:24:04):
began by taking the man I love. I only hope
Lucy and Aileen were able to truly save Millie. Neither
of us are willing to stay down. Madeleine's injured me
and places on my body. My spider metabolism is patching
them up, but I don't heal as fast as Madeline does.
(01:24:24):
Being a vampire with all the powers she has, including
those from Bella Tabon herself, She's the absolute most dangerous
enemy I've ever faced to date. Madeleine would easily have
beaten and killed that giant wasp by fought last Halloween.
Madeleine strikes me again and makes me spit up blood.
(01:24:45):
She's clearly stronger than me, even in my mutant spider form.
I'm gonna give you a good hard swat, Madeleine taunts,
said the vampy to this spider. Another hard blow makes
my eight legs collapse. I drop onto my underbelly and
(01:25:06):
take another blow from her. Did you really think you
was gonna take me down? Madeleine sneers. Then she flexes
her arms. You see all these tats, every skull on
here was for a major vampy I killed under Patrick Gunter.
I think I started losing it when i'd take a
(01:25:27):
head off of one of his vampires. I'd peel the
skin from the head and pattern my next tattoo after it.
Guess I killed enough to make the tattoo sleeves on
both my arms. Then Madeline's eyes go wide. Ooh, I
got a brilliant idea. I'll rip your head off, peel
(01:25:49):
your skull clean, and make a new tattoo. She caresses
her tummy. Right here, I've been seeing chest tattoos on
babes or fashion in your world, and now I want one,
and you gotta die for me to get my new tattoo, Felicia.
(01:26:09):
So if I let Madeline make good on her promise,
I'll have lost everything for sure. I'll definitely lose Milly.
Then I feel my fire rising inside me. There's no
way I can leave that little girl all alone in
this cruel world. I gotta be there for her now.
(01:26:30):
I gotta be the one who holds her hand and
helps guide her through life. I scream as I backhand
that goddamn vampire. Madeline cries out and flies back until
she slams hard into a tree and falls forward. She's dazed.
When I make it to her fast on my eight legs,
I give her some more pricklyes to dope her up again.
(01:26:54):
Then I use my front spider legs to wrap her
up in lots and lots of sticky webbing. I leave
her head exposed as I lift her up and weber
in between a couple of trees. When I'm finished, I
look right at her. When it comes to your tattoos,
I'll skin you alive and put them on my walls
(01:27:15):
to remind me of how I destroyed a wicked little
piece of shit like you, I say, and again, Madeleine
overcomes my toxins. You really think you're gonna take me down?
I'm the absolute most powerful vampy ever. Your webbys ain't
holding this little vampy for long. You won't get out
(01:27:38):
before I tear your skinny little ass apart, I tell her.
As I'm about to make good on my promise, I
feel some one taking hold of my arm. Gabriel's looking
right at me now, still vamped out. Kill her, you
worthless blood bag, Madeleine orders him. I realize I have
(01:28:02):
to try and reach him. I have to. I will
myself to change back into my human form. The darkness
conceals MI nudity, but these vamps have night vision. You
know what. That's not important here. What is important is
helping my estranged husband to find his soul again. Okay, Gabriel,
(01:28:25):
here I am. I tell him, Do you really want
to kill me? Go right ahead. I won't stop you.
You can kill me right here and now and do
what your vampire master says. But let me ask you something.
Can you really kill me? I'm Felicia Bates. Doesn't my
(01:28:47):
name mean anything to you? You gave me your last
name when you married me. I become so emotional that
I break out in tears. I am your wife, Gabriel,
I emphasize. I'm the woman who gave you my love.
I agreed to spend the rest of my life with you.
(01:29:09):
I'm the woman your little girl calls mom. Doesn't that
mean anything to you? Gabriel stops as he's ready to
dig his claws into my neck. No, you do not stop,
Madeline snaps. I said kill her, and I mean kill her,
or I'll kill and drink you, blood bag. Go ahead
(01:29:35):
and kill me if you have to, I say, shakingly
through my tears. But what happens to Milly? Do you
really want to leave her all alone in this world
without any parents? Gabriel shakes his head quickly. Now Milly,
(01:29:56):
he chokes out. Then he looks real sad, not my
little girl. Gabriel finally looks into my teary eyed face,
even though he's still vamped out. He pulls me into
his arms and holds me tight. He could easily crush me,
(01:30:17):
but his hold is to show me that I'm still
very much the woman he gave his undying love to you,
worthless blood bag. Madeleine yells you just wait till I
get free. When I hear my webs being torn apart fast,
I move Gabriel away and face Madeleine. When she's free again,
(01:30:42):
she comes right at me. Now, I'm gonna kill you
and show you you ain't nothing but a weak blood
bag Felicia. Madeleine jeers, you ain't nothing but food. Madeleine
cries out when Gabriel snatches her from behind and locks
her in a full Nelson hold. Felicia is my wife.
(01:31:05):
I love her, and you can't have her or my kid.
Oh really, Madeleine laughs. Suddenly, she shows Gabriel he's truly
powerless against her when she flexes her arms and easily
breaks his. Before I can move to stop her, she
(01:31:25):
quickly turns around, breaks a thick branch off of a
nearby tree, and stakes Gabriel's heart. I try and fight
her for the stake, but she quickly slashes my throat
with her claws and shoves me away. I'm lying on
the ground now and bleeding out fast. At the rate
(01:31:48):
I'm going I'm gonna die soon now. Madeline's standing right
over me. Looks like I win. Madeline Murmurs, I gotta
admit you gave me a hell of a fight, Felicia.
Now you ain't got nothing, so I'm gonna leave you
(01:32:09):
with your man what little time you got left. As
for me, I'm gonna go check on your kiddy. I'm
sure your friend's got my little surprise by now. Then
she waves as she utters by. Madeline doesn't change into
(01:32:30):
a bat as she ascends into the air. I'm too
weak to move. I tried to stop her, God, I
really did. Please don't let it end this way. If
you got to take me now, then I understand. But
please don't leave little Milly all alone in the world.
I asked you for a chance last fall in these
(01:32:53):
very woods. Well I'm asking you for one more chance.
Please let me live for Milly. Please perspective. Lucy Bella Tabon,
(01:33:19):
Aileen and I are fighting this ghostly apparition. She has
sustained some injuries, but that little mouse has courage and
refuses to go down. Mother has certainly trained her well.
We've both been attempting to appeal to little Milly's nature,
assuming she can hear us within this evil incarnation of
(01:33:41):
Mary Worth. I'm thinking that Milly is far too entranced
by Madeline donnery for either of us to be able
to reach her. Truly, all it would take for us
to defeat Mary Worth would be to stake her heart,
since she is a vampire. Unfortunately, we just can't take
(01:34:03):
that chance. We can't and won't allow Milly to die
or be harmed in any way. Lucy, you've got vampire powers,
don't you. Aileen suddenly asks, I'm from my mother. I return,
and then I know exactly what Aileen has in mind.
(01:34:25):
I know how to defeat Mary Worth. Now I ascend
a little and move to the spirit. Now we gaze
at one another. I to I, what are you do?
You do you? Mary utters? It's working. Aileen has proven
her intelligence once again. Once more, I understand why mother
(01:34:49):
has appointed her to be my guide in the mortal realm.
I believe it's time for you to return home now,
I tell the ghost. Mary Worth nods once home. Yes,
The tiny mirror ascends up to Mary's face. Soon the
(01:35:11):
energies flow from the ghostly vampire and back into the mirror.
Now little Milly Bates stands before us again, she still glamed. Lucy,
Aileen tells me, now I have Milly's attention. Awaken Little one.
(01:35:31):
Your will is yours again. Milly moans a little before
she's released from her trance. Then she sees Aileen and
I aunt Eileen, aunt Lucy. She cries with excitement before
coming into my arms. I hold the child to me,
(01:35:52):
but I can't do it for long. I ease her
away from me and prepare to fight Madeline donnerly when
she descends from above. You are stupid to come for me, vampire,
I declare as I knock her away. Madeleine won't stay
down and comes at me again. You know you look
(01:36:17):
so much like bells. Just wait till I drink you
all up, hunging again, even more power. Madeleine looks confused
when I stand down and laugh scornfully. Go right ahead.
I would have thought Madeleine was smart enough to consider
me first. In her insane hunger for power, she snatches
(01:36:41):
me right to her and bites into my shoulder. She
never manages to swallow a full gulp when she suddenly
flies away from me, covering her face and screaming, did
you really think you could drink from me? I chat her,
you fool. The moment Madeleine tasted the first drops of
(01:37:07):
my blood, it ignited into the very fires of hell
within her own mouth. Madeleine continues screaming and trying to
flee from the flames. This wasn't the first time a
vampire attempted to drink from me since coming to the
mortal realm. Madeleine gained greater powers from drinking from my
(01:37:30):
mother in a former lifetime, But in this case, I
am not my mother. When the flames cease, Madeleine's face
is still smoking, visible skull with her elongated fangs. Then
she screams and comes at me again. However, she would
(01:37:52):
never reach me this time. The giant spider that is
Felicia Bates lands on her and takes her down. Now,
Felicia points at me, I told you, this is my fight.
I understand and yield to her. When Madeline's back up,
(01:38:14):
her jaw moves repeatedly as she demands of Felicia, how
could you possibly live? I killed you? Perspective, Felicia Bates.
I won't even bother explaining to Madeline how I'm still alive.
I snag her with a web and bring her right
(01:38:36):
to me. Lucy and Aileen do the smart thing and
get Millie the hell out of here. I point at Madeleine.
I really don't care anymore. You came for me, you
took my family. I'm going to kill you as many
times as I can. I'll make what Lucy Bella did
(01:38:57):
look like a barbecue grill accident. Madeleine bellows her insane
laugh to the sky. Christ. She looks so horrifying without
any flesh on her face. I can just see her
glowing red eyes, some burnt muscle meat, and her fully
elongated fangs. Now she glares at me before suddenly springing
(01:39:21):
my way. I leap with my eight legs and met
her half way. I haul right into Madeleine with as
much of my spider strength as I can land. Madeleine
squeaks and falls right to the concrete cime right on
top of her, and dope her up with as much
venom as I can. Then I start webbing her up
into a sack like I did before. Madeline roars and
(01:39:44):
starts ripping free, but I keep weaving my webs and
bundling her up. I'll kill you, Madeleine screams, this is
my world. I'll break you, hit every place I can,
and kill your little girl right in front of you. Suddenly,
I gasp and just stop. Madeline really pissed me off
(01:40:05):
with that comment about Milly. I start shaking now. She
took Gabriel from me. But I'll die before I let
anyone get Milly. I almost lost her once, and I'll
be goddamned if I let that happen ever again. I
scream bloody murder and make more gooey webbing all around
(01:40:25):
Madeline's head. As she's starting to tear through my webbing again,
I pick her up and fling her. I still have
a rope to the webbing on her head, and I
yank it with all my might. Madeleine screams one more
(01:40:48):
time when I rip her head from her body and
pull it to me. When I have her head in
my hands, I scream with all the spider's strength I've got.
Madeleine screams herself when she feels I'm crushing her skull,
but it don't last long. When it finally collapses, Madeleine's
(01:41:10):
body just falls flat on its chest. I'm still shaking
with rage when I moved to Madeleine's body and rip
it apart in any way I can. I never thought
I'd ever be this savage. Seriously, comic book nerds, what
would you do if it was your family that was
(01:41:31):
taken from you, let alone threatened. Even after I've torn
Madeline Donnery apart again and again, I drop to my
underbelly and come apart. That's when Lucy comes back. She
gives me a look that says she understands. For a
brief moment, I remember hearing about what she did to
(01:41:54):
a group of rapists. I might have expected Lucy to
call my emotional outburst weakness. My older sister Annalie's would
have been all over me. That's how cruel she is.
Lucy shows me she's her mother's daughter when she comes
and hugs me. She lets me hold on to her
(01:42:16):
and cry my eyes out. I beat that goddamned vampire
and avenged my husband. But no matter how many times
I could kill Madeline Donnerly, It'll never make the pain
of losing Gabriel go away. Epilong, I'm human again and
(01:42:40):
fully dressed. When I'm holding little Milly, it's Halloween night now,
and I should be telling my little girl to go
and put her costume on. After all, I promised her
I'd take her trick or treating again. Lucy and Aileen
aren't here. They both know I need time to grieve. Also,
(01:43:02):
I had the unfortunate responsibility of telling Milly she'd never
see her father ever again. I keep looking into that
little face and trying to talk to her, but all
I can do is cry. Millie's seven years old, but
(01:43:23):
she's smart enough to know what's up. I know Milly's
gotta be hurting too, but she's keeping it together a
hell of a lot better than me. When she caresses
the side of my face, all I can do is
tell Milly how sorry I am for letting this shit happen,
and how I'm the worst wife in the world for
(01:43:46):
letting Gabriel be taken from us. I finally tell her
if she wants me to call her grandparents to come
and get her so she can stay with them, I'll
do it. She just has to say the word, I
don't want to live with them. Millie tells me, I
want to stay with you, mom. I took a chance.
(01:44:09):
I let myself feel for Gabriel Bates and his little girl.
I even let myself become part of a family unit
with them. I kept waiting and wondering when the Blue
Ribbons would come for my family. I was expecting them
and got Madeline Donnerly of all people, all these spider powers,
(01:44:33):
and I couldn't save Gabriel. I let my family be
broken up. I could never tell Milly, but I'll tell
you what happened Comic book nerds. When I was dying
in the backwoods of Strickfield, Gabriel inched over to me.
He was still a vampire, but he was no longer
(01:44:55):
under Madeline's control. He was crying himself and and said
how sorry he was to have killed the innocent people
he was forced to. He even gave me one final
lady killer smile, the one I knew only the real
Gabriel could move my emotions with, and told me I
(01:45:16):
had the best kept secret with me being the mutant
Spider Girl. Then Gabriel got serious and said he couldn't
go back to Milly and face her, knowing what he'd
been made to do and knowing he could never be
human ever again. He made me drink from him, which
(01:45:39):
healed me up and restored me. I still cast a reflection,
and I don't show any vampire symptoms for the record.
After I drank him, he begged me to keep the
steak in and let him die. Gabriel Bates was my
husband and I still loved him. I honored his last
(01:46:03):
request and let him die so he could be free.
I'm going to have a funeral for him and bury
his remains. I owe him that. But this little girl,
Milly knows I'm so broken now. She knows I'm emotionally damaged.
(01:46:24):
Even after what's happened, she still calls me mom. She
still wants to stay with me. I know Gabriel would
want me to honor Milly's wish. As long as Milly
wants to stay with me, then I'll continue to raise
Gabriel's little girl to the best of my ability. Suddenly,
my spider instinct goes critical. Milly screams, and I gasp.
(01:46:50):
Hell Weaver is here, the most devious, powerful evil in
all of the multiverse in our house. I quickly stand
up and put Milly behind me. I'm ready to fight
hell Weaver to protect my child, knowing she'll easily kill me.
(01:47:14):
It does not have to be this way, Felicia Miron,
she says, I have the power to give you back
your family. It would be as if Madeline Donnery had
never come into your life. So this is it, comic
book nerds. This is the point where the devil bitch
(01:47:35):
tempts the emotionally broken mutant spider girl. I know for
a fact she can truly give me Gabriel and my
family back. I can make little Milly as happy as
can be again. And all I gotta do is say yes,
even through my pain and turmoil, even though I can
(01:47:59):
make things all right again. I tighten my fists and
yell at hell Weaver, fuck you. I don't even care
if Milly heard me. I point at hell Weaver. Whatever
the price is, it's more than even I can afford.
In fact, no mirn in the world can ever afford it.
(01:48:20):
My answer is no, hell Weaver chuckles. You say no now,
she raises her finger. But the time shall come when
you shall seek me out. In fact, all you need
to do is simply call my name. I shall come
(01:48:40):
to you and make the offer again, and you shall
be more than eager to accept, no matter the cost.
But for now I shall take my leave of you.
Then she disappears. Hell Weaver tricked Bella into thinking she
was being offered the second Chance compact, but somehow made
(01:49:04):
hell Weaver a counteroffer, Bella was released from the compact.
The person who made the offer was given Bella's part
of it and failed to change their life. This gave
hell Weaver the three souls she needed to be able
to escape Perdition, the hellish dimension where she had been
imprisoned for centuries. I'll be honest with you, comic book nerds,
(01:49:28):
I was so dangerously close to saying yes. Losing Gabriel
hurts so much, and having to face Milly with that
burden is even worse. But I can never accept hell
Weaver's offer. I turned back to Milly and ask her
what she wants to do. Even though she knows what's
(01:49:49):
going on, and even though she saw the hell Weaver
for the first time herself. She tells me it's Halloween
night and she wants me to take her trick or Treating.
I don't argue with her and tell her to go
put her costume on. I can feel Millie is going
to go through her own personal hunt. The least I
(01:50:11):
can do is let her have tonight. When Milly comes
down wearing her princess costume and carrying her Trick or
Treat pumpkin, we leave and head out to join the
other trick or treaters to finish the last full week
of Halloween. In Strickfield perspective, Maddling Donnerly, I'm opening my
(01:50:37):
eyes and seeing I'm in this place that's right out
of them science fiction movies. Our group used to love watching.
Carter Cross was the one who got me into science fiction.
I look around and know I ain't dreaming, not when
all these college aged women are everywhere and doing things
to me. These two chicks are standing next to each
(01:50:59):
other and giving orders to the other girls. He'd swear
this place was a hive and they're the queen bees.
Then one of them sees that I'm awake and points
to me. They both approach with smiles. Madeline Donnerley, the
ginger asks, Hi, I'm Katie. This is Caprice. We run
(01:51:20):
the Strickfield chapter of the Blue Ribbons, and today will
be a very happy Halloween for you. No, and I
can think and react. Means either my vampire powers worked again,
or these women restored me somehow. What you want with me?
I ask him for you to join us. Caprice tells
(01:51:44):
me that's why we found your remains and are restoring you.
She points down you should be able to see what
we're doing for you. I look down what I bear
barely managed to say. I gotta be in some science
fiction movie or something. I got mechanical arms and legs. Ooh,
(01:52:11):
and now I can even see the metallic chassis. That's
my new body. I look up to the shiny red
mirror that that Katie Chick's now holding. Yeah, it's definitely
made of old bloodstone. I scream when I can finally
see see I'm completely robotic. Now, why would you do
(01:52:35):
all this? I shriek. Okay, I know you said you
want me to join your group, but why would you
do all this and for me? Katie lowers the mirror.
Let's just call this a win win situation. Here we
win by making our newest prototype bioweapon work, which so
(01:52:58):
far you're perfect. We transferred your brain and your heart
into your new body. The rest of your former body
was too far rotted to be of any further use.
Caprice continues. We know you fought Felicia Bates. Her mistake
wasn't killing you the way she was supposed to kill you. Well,
(01:53:20):
clearly I can't be killed, I snap, Otherwise I wouldn't
be talking to you. Huh. Now, how about you get
to the part of this that's a win for this
little vampy. You win by using our technology to get
your revenge on those who wronged you. Caprice says, we'll
(01:53:41):
keep an eye on you, we'll fix you and upgrade
you when necessary. You'll use your new body for whatever
you want. All we want from you is for you
to help us enforce martial law when the time comes
for us to conquer this world, and Katie adds, I
(01:54:01):
feel something coming to life in my head. Now. I
got a whole interface right in my eyes. I can
see all kinds of data and stuff. Talk about wow.
I look at the two queen bees. Now okay, And
then you say, long as I can get my revenge.
(01:54:22):
And I don't mean just on Felicia Meren, Aileen Donnery
and Lusibella Tabon. I mean I want to return home
and take out Patrick Gunter too. Promise me I can
have Gunter from my universe. And you got yourself a
heck of a deal. I'm able to move my arms now,
which lets me shake hands with both Katie and Caprice.
(01:54:45):
We'll just have to finish fine tuning you before we
let you off the slab, including giving you your new skin,
Katie says. After that, the sky's the limit. This little
Vampy's feeling so much better off. Ready, Yeah, Happy Halloween. Indeed, Okay,
(01:55:05):
I'll help these Blue Ribbons with their world domination plot
so long as they give me Patrick Gunter. They don't
come through, well, let's just say I already got a
couple of plans to fall back on. This little Vampy's
smart enough to know not to underestimate these women. I'm
sure they know not to do the same with me.
(01:55:29):
Just the same though, I'm still gonna get to do
more of my favorite thing here in Utopia, create carnage.
Those heroes out there ain't seen the last of me,
and like I said before, I'll be back. Well that's
(01:55:51):
another grave closed, at least for now. Don't forget. This
is just one of thirty one Day of Halloween shows
with weekly Spooky Tomorrow. We open another door in October,
and what's hiding behind the walls might be worse than
what's buried beneath the floor. Old funeral homes, hidden sacrifices,
(01:56:17):
and things that crawl where they shouldn't. A brand new
