Last Weapon
“She’s just been sitting there all day, sighing.” muttered Maya.
“Haven’t you figured out why?” I queried, “I’ll just go in and ask her!”
Maya shook her head. “No, don’t bother. She’s just not speaking about it.”
I smiled a sly smile.
Maya knew that face instantly, she’d grown to recognise it after the Turner Grey incident. “Nick, don’t you dare!”
I frowned. “What?”
RecapOkay. If you’re wondering what the heck is going on, I’ll give you a bit of info. I went to court today to discuss a retrial (don’t worry, it wasn’t me that got the defendant a GUILTY) and came home to find Pearls gazing into the sky:
“Hey Pearls, you okay?”
“………………………….”
“Pearls?”
“Pearls?”
So I asked Maya about her and, well, there you have it.
Maya was about to lecture me on how I shouldn’t do what I was about to do……but I’d already gone in to the room Pearls was in.
“Hmm, did you say something Mr. Nick?” Pearls was REALLY out there today. “Ah!” Pearls noticed the Magatama and figured out what was going on.
I started the long process of psyche-lock breaking.
“Whoa.” Just before I began I noticed the middle psyche-lock……….it was black. Right in the centre of her heart was a secret so full of dark and despair that it caused her pain. I HAD to break it!
“Alright Pearls, somethings upsetting you incredibly, and I must get to the bottom of it. Now, there’s only one thing that could make you as sad as this and that is…..”
“Your mother, Morgan Fey.”
One of the locks shattered.
“Morgan has been incarcerated for nearly 2 years now, and as demonstrated with Maya and Misty, losing one’s mother is painful indeed. But, it must be more than…oh right…..”
“Erm…….I have absolutely no idea what that is” Pearl lied.
“You know what this is, because you’ve read it. This is a letter from the state prison:
Los Angeles State Prison,
Los Angeles,
CA,
USA.
May 10 2019
CONFIDENTIAL
Mr. Wright and Miss Fey
Wright & Co. Law Offices,
Los Angeles,
CA,
USA.
Dear Mr. Wright and Miss Fey,
Subject: Morgan Fey
I am writing to inform you about the status of prisoner Morgan Fey due to the fact she was a key part in the murder of Miss Deauxnim recently. She has been given the death penalty as in the record she is stated as a three-time murder accomplice. We felt we should notify you first, she is to be executed on May 20 2026. In the mean time she will be kept in Cell 13.
Sincerely,
Steven Oak
Chief Officer
LA State Prison
SO"
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” Pearl sobbed. Another psyche-lock shattered. “B-But you can’t prove I read that letter.”
“Oh really…..
“What’s that?” Pearls wondered aloud.
“Fingerprint powder.” I replied.
“………….Noooo!” Pearls knew what I was thinking. Yet another psyche-lock shattered.
“Maybe the last lock is because of the date, today is May 20-in 7 years Morgan will be executed.” I revealed. The fourth psyche-lock shattered.
“I’m sorry I have to talk about this Pearls. And now for the black lock.” I pointed the magatama to the final lock. That was my mistake. The lock bombarded the magatama with lightning, and the psyche-lock and the chains faded away. My surroundings returned to normal but what on earth was going on?!? I had to talk with Maya.
