just like you, discover the show now. As for tonight,
imagine a summer night in Strickfield, a lonely road, a
girl in a fiery red dress and eyes that glow
with green fire. She's no ordinary stranger, She's the elder

(02:51):
Princess of Hell. When she promises to protect an innocent
girl from a pack of bullies, the line between nightmare
and reality is burned away when Hell itself walks among us.
Who decides what is justice and what is torment? We
find out after this a New Beginning by Rob Fields.

(03:28):
I have been walking along this road in the heat
for hours. Soon I shall reach the village known as Strickfield.
To someone like me, this heat feels like heaven. I
smile at, knowing that this could not have been a
better time to have left Ravenhenge. Within a few weeks,

(03:53):
it shall be summer. I am observant of the glances
that I receive from the mortals passing along in their
metal chariots. I suppose that it is uncommon to see
a humanoid female walking and wearing a fiery red dress
with matching glass heels. Unfortunately, I could not just appear

(04:18):
at my intended destination and utilized the closest of the
seven gates of Hell, which was in Ravenhenge itself. I
am finally crossing into Strickfield and soon reached the university.
Mother had me learn of this village and surrounding areas.

(04:39):
The dwelling where I must go is on the opposite
end of this institution of higher learning. Many of the
males attending this university look upon me. I sense their lust,
But these foul vermin shall never come to possess me.

(05:00):
They are most unworthy of the elder Princess of Hell.
Upon leaving the university grounds. I stop long enough to
close my eyes and moan softly. This heat shall be
most enjoyable here in the mortal realm. I am confident

(05:22):
that the summer season shall become even hotter. I have
noticed that many of the mortals that I pass are
wet with their own sweat. Such pathetic weaklings. I continue
onward to the dwelling that I must reach. I could
have arrived sooner, but Father was specific that I am

(05:47):
to pass for one of these mortals, and not use
my unlimited power unless I absolutely must. This status shall
change once I have found the one mortal that I seek.
Mother has spoken most highly of Elaine Donnerly during my upbringing.

(06:13):
I look forward to finally meeting this mortal female, who
has earned both Mother's respect and love. She has also
advised me of her older brother. Just thinking about Martin
Donnerly makes me desire to end him most slowly, or

(06:36):
better still, feed him to my hell hounds back home. However,
I am not permitted to harm him without cause. Upon
reaching the Donnerly dwelling, I see a metal chariot stopped
just outside. There are five mortals altogether in the road

(07:00):
of them. Appear to have someone surrounded and are beating
on Aileen Donnerly. I call out. The four of them,
cease kicking Aileen and face me. A rather thin, ugly
female glares at me, piss off. The other girl, who

(07:20):
looks poudy, points right at me. Four of us to
one of you. Aileen sees me and reaches out help me.
I move to these vile girls and seize them both
to slam their heads together. Once they fall onto the

(07:40):
road that leaves only the males, the muscular one points
at me, you just messed up, bad bitch. No you did,
I respond, using mortals speak for the first time in
many years. When the two males come at me, I

(08:02):
grab them by their necks and lift them off the
road effortlessly. I toss the muscular one onto the back
of their metal chariot, making him shatter the window and
land in the back seat. Let me go. The other
male groans in fear. I would teach these fools a

(08:25):
lesson they would not soon forget. But Aileen Donnerly needs me.
I turn the male to the two females and toss
him into them with a single hand. After the male
topples the females. He returns to his feet and helps

(08:46):
them to theirs. Let's get out of here, the male yells.
Now the thin, ugly female sees the back window. God
damn it, my dad, it's gonna kill me. She turns
and points at me. This ain't over. Then she points

(09:08):
to Aileen, and we damn sure ain't done with you.
I no longer regard them, and now regard Aileen. She
takes my hand and allows me to assist her to
her feet. Are you hurt? I ask? Aileen slowly throws

(09:29):
her arms around me and hugs me tightly. Thank you.
I slowly return her hug. Soon we regard one another again.
Aileen looks me over to sum up my appearance. You
could say that I am a near one for one

(09:50):
doppelganger of my mother, Bella Tabon. The most noticeable difference
between the two of us are that I have even
longer blonde hair, which I keep in pigtails that unnaturally
extend and hang out past my shoulders, my radiant green

(10:14):
eyes to her red ones, and my large bosoms. Aileen
regards me strangely, Um, how do you know my name?
I am with patience. My family summoned me here to
find and protect you. I shall only remain with you

(10:37):
if you wish. But who are you and how do
you know me? Aileen stammers. I am Lucibella Tabon. I reveal,
and the history that I shall share with you is complicated.

(10:58):
Aileen wipes but from her forehead with the back of
her hand. It's really hot out here. Let's go inside.
I allow her to lead me to her dwelling. Once inside,
I am amazed at how much cooler it is. I
have never experienced anything of this sort at Ravenhenge, and

(11:24):
certainly not Hell itself. I would rather have remained outside
in the heat. Nevertheless, I am not threatened, since the
cold cannot harm me.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Don't go away weakly, Spooky will be right back.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
After a lean drinks some water. She regards me, would
you like something to drink? Not presently, I answer. We
shall speak when you are ready. Aileen invites me into
her living room. She seats herself in a chair and

(12:08):
I upon the couch. Now we regard one another again.
I tell her the history of what was once her
timeline with Bella Tabon, my mother. I explain the events
of what had happened with mother and how Hell Weaver

(12:29):
had deceived her into thinking that she was being offered
the second Chance compact. As it turned out, someone close
to Mother would offer herself in exchange for the final
opportunity in the compact. Mother and I both know that

(12:50):
this person was Aileen Donnerly. Mother spoke of Aileen's history
on how she was part of a revenge plot from
those mortals outside. Her older brother, Martin had taken advantage
of that ugly girl, Courtney Rickman, who had become taken

(13:12):
with drink at a gathering. When the alcohol had worn off,
Courtney swore revenge upon Martin after accusing him of violating her.
In the former time line, those mortals had come to
this dwelling to seek vengeance upon Martin. He was not here, however,

(13:36):
but Aileen was. Courtney had her elder brother with her,
and Biff Rickman both assaulted and violated Aileen. She became
infected with a disease that easily manifested itself within her
body due to her weak immune system. Aileen finds this

(14:01):
difficult to believe, but Mother said that I must speak
the truth. These events have not happened in this new
time line as of yet. Mother was explicit that I
not allow you to be assaulted and violated in the
way that I have described. Make no mistake, they shall

(14:25):
return here tomorrow night. As I have spoken, I raise
my finger. I am to remain at your side until
tomorrow night has passed. From there. If you wish for
me to depart, then I shall without question. Otherwise I

(14:47):
shall bring you before my great grandmother. Aileen points to me.
So you knew what was happening to me out there,
You knew to be there to help me, I did.
I admit. Great Grams lives here in Strickfield and has
powerful magics to be able to see across space and time,

(15:12):
which was why she insisted that I could waste no
time in coming here to you. Mother would have come
for you herself, but she is currently undertaking a quest.
She shall return upon completion of that quest. I raise
my finger. If you doubt me, then I shall offer

(15:36):
you proof. Your brother shall return home within the next
ten of your minutes. Eileen shakes her head. Martin said
he'll be working at Mere and Automotive until eleven thirty tonight.
He shall return home within ten minutes, I insist. Aileen

(16:01):
sighs and asks me how I could easily handle Courtney
Rickman and her friends. I am not of your world,
Aileen Donnerly, I answer, though I must call the mortal
realm my home now. My birth realm is Hell. Aileen

(16:23):
seems frightened of me now, but does not order me
to depart. I am here for you. I remind her
whatever you may require of me. Aileen studies me more.
Why didn't Bella come herself? She shall come to you,

(16:46):
I assure her. While she currently resides here in Strickfield
with great Grams, she also rules Hell at father's side. Again,
she is undertaking a quest, which is why my family
in Strickfield summoned me. The choice is yours. Once tomorrow's

(17:09):
danger has passed, you may keep me here at your side,
or send me back to Hell. Aileen remembers you said
you would do whatever I asked. Yes, my unlimited power
is yours to command. Whatever you may ask of me,

(17:31):
it shall be done. Mother wishes for you to be
my guide here in the mortal realm. She said that
you could be trusted to keep me honest. Just then
the back door opens, Martin Donnerly enters and regards the

(17:52):
two of us. The fool's eyes open wide upon beholding me.
Can I help you? His eyes move from my face
to my bosoms repeatedly. His emotions convey his longing for
me to become the latest in his string of wars.

(18:16):
I am enraged and stand to engage him as he
approaches me. Upon his reaching, I snatch his throat and
slam him against a nearby wall. Dare to lay your
hands upon me, mortal vermin, and I shall no. Aileen
cries as she takes hold of my free hand. When

(18:39):
I regard her, she explains herself, Please, Lusabella, don't hurt Martin.
I can't stand him, but he's the only family I have.
I release Martin. Your sister still cares for you to
a degree. This is why you yet live. Never attempt

(19:03):
to lay hold of me again. Martin regards Aileen as
she explains who I am and why I am here. Now,
he displays a more dominant expression. I don't care what
this little snippet says. You're not staying here. Aileen tightens

(19:26):
her fists, but she will Martin. Lusabella's here for me.
She tells him about those mortals who attacked her prior
to my arrival. You and your male kind are indeed fools, Martin,
I add, you only think with your loins, never your brain.

(19:51):
Was Courtney Rickman's flesh worth those fools attacking your sister.
Martin points to me, don't you talk to me like that.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky will be right back.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Aileen becomes upset. She's right, Martin, I know you've hated
taking care of me after mom and Dad were killed.
I never cared who you were with sexually or whatever,
but seriously, you took full advantage of Courtney Rickman when
she was drunk off her ass, and I've got to

(20:32):
pay for it. I move in between them. It matters
not Aileen. What matters is that I am here now,
and no harm shall come to you again. My infinite
power is yours to command. Aileen addresses Martin again, I've

(20:53):
tried to play the loving sister and be there for you,
but I won't pay the price be because you just
can't keep it in your pants. She regards me. Now,
let's go upstairs. I want you to come to school
with me tomorrow as you wish. I return. I accompany

(21:15):
Aileen to her bedchamber, where she motions for me to
sit upon a chair at her desk. Once she is
seated upon her bed, we converse. Aileen wishes for me
to continue accompanying her until the threat has ended. Mortal
vermin like Martin is one among multiple reasons why I

(21:40):
bear such hatred for males. The next morning, I enter
Strickfield High School with Aileen. She could only educate me
in so many details about being a high school student.
Of course, I could not wear the outfit that I

(22:03):
wore to the mortal realm. Aileen has provided me with
one of her cheerleading uniforms. Because of my large bosoms,
the jersey causes my middrift to become fully exposed, assuring
much distraction to foolish males. Aileen brings me into the

(22:26):
school leader's office, where I am to stand before Matthew
van dest The school leader regards Aileen as he points
to me. Last time I checked, miss Donnerly, this girl
is not on the cheerleading squad. Now he regards me,

(22:46):
You're not even a student here, so remove that cheerleading
uniform and put some other clothes on. Normally, I would
have enslaved him in hell for the way he has
spoken to me. However, he knows not who I truly am,
so I shall overlook this and resort to mischief. I

(23:11):
give him a wicked smile, as you command, Matthew. The
school leader gasps when I remove the top and throw
it away. The other females working with him either gasp
or speak of their God. I am ready to remove
the skirt, when Aileen is quick to stop me. No, Lucy,

(23:36):
she shrieks, cover those up quick. I obey Aileen and
cover my bosoms with my hands. I allow these fools
to behold them again. As I accept the top from
Aileen and reapply it, the school leader gives me an
expression that says he wishes to expel me. Instead, he

(24:02):
groans and moves to gather papers. I would require Aileen's
assistance in writing the needed information upon the papers. Fortunately,
I listened to mother when she insisted that I learn
mortal speak, speech, reading, and writing. To my irony, Matthew

(24:25):
Van Deste has accepted me as a new student at
Strickfield High School in spite of my blatant mischief. Lucy,
why did you do that? Aileen demands upon us leaving
the office. Did you not inform me in your bed
chamber that your school leader greatly regards these mortal female's bosoms.

(24:53):
I respond, Aileen sighs. You really don't know how things
work here, do you. I do understand the structures here
in Strickfield, as well as surrounding cities and villages. I
have not existed in the mortal realm long enough to

(25:14):
know its ways. Have I dishonored you? Aileen sighs again,
then smiles a little. I don't think the office staff
was expecting what you did. I mean, Van Deste did
enroll you. She puts her hand upon my shoulder. It'll

(25:36):
be okay, Lucy when we get to class. Let me
do the talking at least for now. I stop her
and raise an eyebrow. Lucy, m I can call you Lucibella.
She corrects herself. It was just easier to call you Lucy.

(25:58):
We regard each other for brief time, then I nod once.
You may call me Lucy. As we walk the hallways,
many males regard me with lust. I can feel that
they wish to lie with me. These underlings shall most

(26:19):
certainly die trying at lunch period. Aileen would later ask
me about my hatred for males, My father being The
One exception here is that history. Mother once brought me
into the mortal realm herself. I told my parents that

(26:40):
I desired to remain in Hell and did not wish
to intermingle with mortals. Mother insisted that I would have
to enter the mortal realm eventually, especially if I was
to become a ruler of Hell. One day, Father took
her side and suggested that Mother bring me here at once.

(27:05):
I trusted Mother, and I listened to her lessons there.
In truth, I am certain that I shall come to
appreciate the mortal realm in regards to its beauty and wonders.
As for its people, there leaves much to be desired.

(27:25):
Mother and I were walking across a college campus in
the magnificent Shore City. After Mother had shown me the
view of the top of the tallest building there, we
returned to the concrete surface and continued our journey. In time,
we heard a mortal crying for help. Mother and I

(27:49):
investigated and regarded four mortal males college boys looking to
overpower a single female for the purpose of forcing sex
from her. Since she would not concede it, she would
be violated.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Did you hear that better? Check the locks on your doors. Weakly,
Spooky will be right back.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
If there was one thing that truly angered Father, it
was when mortal males felt that they needed to make
sure their female counterparts knew their place here. As far
as males were concerned, females were never to have wills
of their own. Father told me that females were created

(28:42):
to be at the sides of males and not subservient
to them. I think this was one of the many
reasons why Mother ultimately came to love Father. He regarded
her as his equal, his queen, but very few mortal
males would ever regard females as such. Because of Father's teachings,

(29:07):
I became disgusted with the concept of rape. Mother attempted
to stop me, but I was too enraged to hear her,
and unknowingly backhanded her. She flew into a nearby wall
and was dazed. In my rage, I would ultimately break

(29:28):
and tear those males apart, killing them. I relished being
soaked in their blood. When I was finished, the female
that I had saved was most frightened and felt that
I would also destroy her. Mother had revived and came

(29:49):
in between us. She had used her glam to make
the girl forget Ever. Seeing what I had done, Mother
brought me back to Hell and explain to Father about
what I had done. Father did not approve and ruled
that I would never return to the mortal realm again.

(30:14):
Mother would have her say, however, and proposed a counter
offer to allow me to be able to return to
the mortal realm with certain conditions. Father reconsidered his ruling
and specifically stated that I was never again to kill

(30:34):
any living beings in the mortal realm unless it was
a matter of dire importance. That day would come when
Father explained why Mother required me to return to the
mortal realm, I would obey and leave Hell to seek

(30:55):
out a lean Donnerly to this day, my hatred for
mortal males has never diminished. I shall never become bound
by marriage, or become subservient to a mortal male, nor
surrender my body or my heart. Mortal males may look

(31:17):
upon me, but they shall never possess the Elder Princess
of Hell. That evening, a Leen and I are returning
home from cheerleading practice. The boys basketball team would have

(31:38):
a game the next day, and we would be required
to cheer for them. How did I come to be
a member of this squad? After that incident in the
principal's office, Matthew Vandese turned me over to Sondra Temple,
who was also in the office. This woman informed me

(31:59):
that there was an opening on the cheerleading squad and
offered it to me. You've certainly got a unique look
to you, Temple had complimented. Whether or not you remain
on the squad will depend on how fast you can adapt.
I laughed scornfully at her. Oh I shall adapt. I

(32:22):
believe that I have secured my position on the squad
with how easily I have adapted to the cheerleader's configurations,
including their pyramid. I believe that Sondra Temple was most
impressed because she has not released me from the squad
as of yet. Speaking of the squad, I have been

(32:45):
an Aileen Donnerly's company for a day's time, and I
have already come to care about her a great deal.
I feel that our bond shall strengthen further with time.
As we turn on to the street where Aileen's dwelling is,
I sense a metal chariot coming at us most swiftly.

(33:09):
I glance over my shoulder and see that it is
the same metal chariot from the day before. Those mortals
kept their distance during school and have waited until now
to return, as I had foretold to Aileen the day
before Lucy. Aileen shrieks upon seeing that metal chariot will

(33:35):
easily strike us. Mother and father entrusted me to protect
Aileen Donnerly, I shall not fail in my second journey
here in the mortal realm. I seize a leen to
me and stand firm As the metal chariot impacts with

(33:55):
my back. I remain where I stand still, holding a
leen to me. The chariot, however, shall require much attention.
The front has a rounded crescent from the impact with
my back, as though the chariot had collided with a
large tree to become damaged itself, but not harm the

(34:18):
tree in any way. A Leen is most surprised at
what has transpired. I release her and turn my attention
to her enemies, who are now my enemies. The four
mortals are shaken, yet they are not harmed because of
their protective restraints. The four of them exit the damaged chariot.

(34:43):
The driver, Courtney Rickman, points at me you are so dead,
both of you. I laugh with scorn. Make no mistake.
You shall never harm ai Leen Donnerly again. After this day.
I feel Aileen's hands grab one of mine. Don't kill them, Lucy,

(35:09):
I shall not. I promise her mother and father would
be most angry with me again. But now I consider
how Aileen would feel, and I do not wish to
know negativity from her. However, I shall make these mortal

(35:29):
fools understand what it means to incur my wrath. The
foolish children make the mistake of looking into my eyes
as they glow with the brightness of hell fire. To begin,
I take hold of the male known as Jason Stamen
and set him ablaze. Truly, he has never tasted the

(35:51):
very flames of hell. As he feels his body, his
very soul burn at my touch, I release him. He
tries to flee, but the flames shall remain bound to him.
His guilt and sin shall continue to feed the flames indefinitely.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
More scarce to come weakly, Spooky will be right back.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
I look upon the other male, brad Order, and stare
deep into his eyes. He screams only for a moment
before he realizes that he can no longer do so,
as I command forces that literally grind his very bones

(36:43):
into ashes from within his own flesh, while retaining his
life force. Amanda Dawson turns to flee, but I appear
before her. She shrieks with fright when I take hold
of her. Now she moans in anguish when she feels

(37:03):
herself growing old, to the point where she is so
frail that a mere burst of a simple wind would
cause her to fall over. Her fate shall be that
her young soul be forever imprisoned within her frail body
as her living tomb. Finally, I turn my attention to

(37:29):
Courtney Rickman. She has such fear and anguish upon her face.
After seeing what I have done to her friends, she
now begs the elder Princess of Hell for her very life.
I am with amusement and laugh scornfully once more as

(37:51):
I behold her. You sought to end the life of
Aileen Donnerly, I point to her, Were you not the
one who became taken with drink? Why do you mortals
always push the blame on to others. Aileen did nothing

(38:12):
to you, Yet you would harm Aileen simply to harm
the man that took advantage of you. You attack Martin
Donnery's younger sister out of cowardice, as you sought to
do the day before. Now you shall face punishment for
your actions. Since you seem to enjoy the pleasures of

(38:34):
the flesh so much, I shall turn your own against you.
When Courtney gazes into my eyes, her body becomes afflicted
with the very disease that Aileen had become infected with
in mother's former time line, on a much more advanced level.

(38:57):
Courtney falls to her side with sweat, dark bruises, and
large boils from her fever. She raises her arm to me, Please,
I ignore her, please, and say to the fools, this

(39:17):
is my final judgment. I stand and watch as their
souls writhe in what would become their eternal torment. But
remember I am forbidden to claim the lives of mortals
unless I should be presented with no other alternative. The

(39:38):
fools are suddenly released from their trances when they gaze
into my eyes. I merely planted my realities for them
within their own minds. Think of it as a greatly
enhanced form of your technology known as virtual reality. The

(39:59):
fools literally experienced the fates that I would have granted
them if I were without restraint, complete with the feelings
of those experiences. However, I never harmed them in any way.
Let's get out of here. Courtney screams in terror. I

(40:21):
laugh when they flee for their lives. If I truly
wish to find them, it will not be difficult. After all,
how would you even escape from the elder princess of
Hell herself? Aileen approaches me, Lucy, what about their car?

(40:42):
I give her a gentle smile. Observe. I place my
hands upon the car as I now understand it to
be named, and restore it to as it was, including
the back window that was shattered the day before. The
four mortal children shall be believed for fools should they

(41:07):
speak of the events that they believe they have experienced
with all as it was. I turn to Aileen. We
shall go another way. Great Grams wishes to speak to you.
Aileen trusts in me enough to accompany me to the

(41:29):
dwelling where Great Grahams and Mother reside. When the two
of us are before the front door, it opens to
reveal Anathea Tabon. Great Grams has many years, but her
appearance is that of a mortal woman of thirty, the

(41:51):
elder matriarch of the Tabon family is a vampire. After
being invited inside, Great Grams and I embrace one another.
Then she regards me, thank you for bringing Aileen Donnerly, Lusabella.
Now she turns to face my friend. I suspect you

(42:16):
want answers. Aileen sighs. I just don't understand why I'm
suddenly being protected by Lucy. She explains the events from
the day before when I first came upon her. You
shall have your answers, child, Great Grams promises. Aileen listens

(42:38):
as Great Grahams speaks in our native Tabon language. When
she finishes, she caresses the side of Aileen's temple before
finishing with our word for remember. Aileen gasps and looks
around quickly. What I storede your memories from Bella's former

(43:02):
timeline prior to her accepting the second Chance compact. Great
Grams informs her remember Aileen Donnerly. Aileen regards me, now, wow,
I know you're not Bell's, but you look so much
like her. Lucy. Then she is saddened, I really screwed

(43:28):
things up. Great Grams gives Aileen her grandmotherly smile. Perhaps
it is we who should be thanking you, Aileen, though
we know why you bargained with hell Weaver. I have
seen all in my mediums and know you did it
for my granddaughter. Between you and Bella, your actions are

(43:51):
the reason the Tabon family continues to live and grow.
The only downside is that there were likely negative effects
resulting from Bella's rewriting her history and you attempting to
rewrite yours to save her. But as for my great
granddaughter here and myself, we exist now and must accept

(44:15):
that we do. I fold my arms in front of me.
You speak as if we are accursed. Great Grams. I
originally died a long time ago, Lucy, Bella and you
and your siblings never existed before Hell Weaver was able
to escape perdition. She puts her hand on my forearm. Nevertheless,

(44:40):
we must do what we can to prevent hell Weaver
from conquering the multiverse, and it shall take as many
allies as we can gather to even have the slightest
chance of stopping her. I want to help, too, Aileen offers.
I watch as Great Grams uses her magics to examine Aileen,

(45:04):
you no longer carry the disease which threatened your life
in your former timeline. However, you still remain altered as
a result of that vampire bite you sustained from an
alternate universe. Aileen is with optimism. Now, then, I don't
have to stay with Martin anymore. I can go my

(45:26):
own way. I have plenty of room here, Great Grams
informs us. In fact, both of you shall reside here.
We can determine our next course of action. While Bella
is away on her quest. I unfold my arms. As
Aileen and I behold one another. It would seem that

(45:48):
you and I shall become even closer. Now, I say,
Aileen and I embrace as true friends. I suppose that
Great Grams is correct. We would not exist in this
time or at all, had time itself not been altered.

(46:09):
In the meantime, it seems that the elder Princess of
Hell must serve as a protector in the vast space
that is the mortal realm. I know that I must
perfect my mortal speak while I reside here. In time,
I shall be able to blend in perfectly among the mortals.

(46:31):
With Aileen Donnerly as my new friend and my guide,
I am feeling that I do not wish to return
to Hell, so soon perhaps I shall learn to appreciate
the mortal realm after all. Well, my spookys, looks like

(46:55):
there's some new action going down in Strickfield, and perhaps
we'll find out more in October when we feature multiple
Strickfield novellas for your listening pleasure. So make sure you're
