Staff: Jack! Another day another grind. You know your assignment today dont you. Jack: ahhh yeah, i remember. Staff: Ya better not screw this up. It is an S rank task. If you do who knows what will end up to you. The last guy that failed an S rank quest is still in a coma. Jack: its just a delivery task and its not even that far. Its just to the Cereus Labs at Cerberus. Staff: dude...what the hell man! Jack: Chill man i know what im doing. The head there is the immortal freak i know. I'll be in and out quick, no problem. Staff: Well you're on your own man. Dont do anything stupid. Cerberus Corp. (Level U3, Cereus Department) Jack: um delivery shipment from Athena CDT-0756uXSMP for Mr.. Tay: be a dear and put the samples in there. *Jack held a sample unregistered containing Layron's genetic material. Reaching into his pocket sneaking in the extra sample into the tray before closing the vault door. Jack: Mr.Taygon, please sign the... Tay: Mr.Jack,Male 39years old. Married with 2kids who are constantly up to no good. Kidnapping and murder to the unfilled charges. Oh lookie, lookie what do we have here. *Jack startled at the sudden quick movement of Tay suddenly appearing at the vault checking the samples, pulling out the sample of Layron's genetic material. The blood drained from Jacks face knowing well he got caught. Once again in a blur of smoke the Director of Cereus appears in front of Jack. The young man looked no older than his late 20s, pale silver and white, for as much as he looked cute and beautiful to look at, there was an underlying unnerving coldness as if something ancient, something that would raise the nerves of any creature with instinct to flea at the cold dead stare of the void. A stare so cold so empty yet so piercing it calls back engulfing everything in its endless gluttony.* Tay: wanna tell me what this is? Actually no...*with a swift motion Tay poked Jack's forehead. Jack could feel the cold long slender finger prod his mind pulling his memories out from his mind before flowing through Tay reaching his face, Glowing his eyes in a cold blue glimmer* Tay: so his name is Layron, interesting a lion fish crossbreed. But you should've known you were a dead man the moment you came in here and if you caught me on a bad mood i might not just stop at you. Jack: please i did it for my son. Dont hurt my family. *Jack was terrified sweat dripping down his forehead, his heart thumping harder that it ever has. He did not even realize that tay had started stripping him. A sharp pain finally draws his attention to his chest as a firm grip rips his heart out of his chest.* Jack: ARRRGGHH!!! *falling backwards on his ass, before rapidly feeling for the wound only to find none* h...Hooowww.?? Tay: ughhh Tay Tay my dear, you have gotten sloppy. Ohhh dont worry, here you dont die until i say so. *Tossing Jack's heart back and forth his hands while circling slowly around the room.* Lets talk terms yes. Are you familiar with Rapunzel? No no, in this case im the witch and you the poor husband. So lets settle on this, I'll resurrect Layron but he will be mine and for trespassing you'll have to do me a favour of my chosing when i chose. If you refuse in anyways, you will kill the ones you love the most before i turn your heart to dust. But I'll do you a little extra, you wont have to remember this deal, cause i will for you. *Two marionette hands appear behind Tay as the room strangely darkensand golden petals fall from nothing.it was horrific for what was to come but beautiful in its own nature. red threads dart towards the hand holding the heart piercing the heart. Its crystalized red glow reflected in Tay's eyes as a black miasmic fog spews out of Tay's mouth speaking the terms into the heart and a dark twisted sadistic smile of pure evil. before everything went........ Black.... Jack: Ahhh!!!!! Wife: Honey whats wrong, your all sweaty. Jack: ahhh sorry its just a bad dream. Wife: okay well try to go back to sleep okay. *Jack touched his chest, not knowing the dream was real. But from now on he will always feel strings tugging at his heart, a tell tale of his unfortunately run in with Tay and now neither a living nor dead man but a puppet for which its strings have yet to be cut. A Tell-Tale Marionette Heart....*
