“You can’t keep me locked up here forever! You need to let me go! I need to go help her!” Scarlet said, seething. “You should know better than anyone that I’m not going to rest until I find a way out.”

“You can certainly try. You have all of eternity to make an effort, after all,” Phyra replied nonchalantly.

“Uuuugh!”

“Calm down, it was only–what was it the human called it? A slushie?"

"Huh?”

“Well, it was a blessed slushie. I was pleasantly surprised when turned out to be just as good as holy water. You wouldn’t believe what I had to go through to get it.“

“What did I do to be cursed with a mother who is beyond psychotic?”

“You bite your tongue!”

Phyra threw the contents of the cup at Eloise’s face. After a moment of shock, Eloise let out a blood-curdling scream. “Mother! What have you done?” Scarlet cried.

“Shut up! We’re going home! Don’t touch her unless you want some too!” Phyra yelled, grabbing Scarlet roughly by the arm.

Tears were streaming down Scarlet’s face, “I can’t just leave her here like this!”

“Oh, but you will!”

“There is only one thing to do with monsters like you. I know you cannot be reasoned with, but I have just the thing to make you leave my Scarlet alone.” Phyra made a container full of a strange liquid materialize in her hand as she spoke. The girls could only look on in bewilderment.

“I am not a monster! I may not be a fully living being, but I would never hurt anyone!” said Eloise, looking down in disbelief.

“But you are! You’re hurting me! You’re going to take my daughter away! You’ll convince her to follow you to the Underworld just like your father did to your mother,” Phyra barked.

“You’re crazy! I would never!”

“I shouldn’t have let you have so much freedom! I should have known that you’d end up doing exactly what I told you not to do! How many times have I reminded you that the deities of life should never be fraternizing with these undead monsters!” Phyra screamed.

The day was ending as it always had done before. Scarlet and Eloise were spending time together in their favourite spot, having fun and laughing away. This time, however, Phyra had heard them and had come to investigate. Her eyes suddenly lit up as if they were on fire, “So this is where you’ve been spending all your time!”

*****I just want to give a warning that this next bit might be intense for some people even though it’s cartoony.*****

The children continued to visit Eloise, although some visited more often than others. As the children grew older and aged into teens, only one of them continued to visit every single evening. That teenager was Scarlet.

The children walked towards the graveyard until they finally spotted Eloise. “See that purple girl over there? That’s her,“ Neil whispered. “Try to be nice!”

The group continued forward and Eloise greeted them with a big smile. “Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for coming here. I know it’s not great.”

“I’m just glad we’re not meetin’ underground at my house so that I don’t have ta clean my room!” said Rhea. The rest of the children chuckled.

“I suppose I should introduce you to everyone, Eloise,” said Neil. “This messy green one is Rhea, in the orange shirt we have Cameron, and his girly double is his twin sister Ayla. Rhea, as you probably guessed, is a goblin, while Cam and Ayla are from the dream realm.”

“It’s so nice to meet you all!” Eloise replied.

A few days later, Neil and his friends gathered together to meet Eloise at a graveyard. The children took longer to get together than expected, so it was almost night by the time they had arrived.

“Ayla and Cameron made us late because their mom made them change clothes first. She said that if they were goin’ ta go out in the dark, they’d better be wearin’ somethin’ bright,” Rhea explained.

“That’s okay, I was chatting with Eloise while I waited for everyone to get here. Does anyone know if Scarlet is coming?” Neil asked, looking a little disappointed.

“I know she got permission, but that doesn’t mean she’s always going to come,” Ayla replied.

“We’ll just have to get started without her then. If we stay out too long, we’re all going to end up in trouble,” Neil said with a sigh.
