Fear gripped Imelda at the sight of Erica standing face to face with her,
"How did you find this place?" Imelda asked her going backwards
"Do you really think you can hide from me? you should have known that i am very different from you" Erica told her
"Your mother's body isn't here" Imelda said trying to run from her
Erica grabbed her hand with the color of her eye glowing out
"Don't make me ask again" Erica warned her
"You will have to kill me to find her" Imelda said pretending she wasn't afraid of her
"So be it" Erica said grabbing her by her neck
"You won't kill a human intentionally, right? that will make you look bad in the eye of Lava and Oma" Imelda said why trying to catch her breath
Erica pushed her down as Imelda exhaled out heavily trying to recollect her breath
"You won't say anything right?" Erica asked
"Even in death I still won't, I am of no use to you" Imelda said to her as she chuckles hard
"Maybe I should set the building on fire" Erica told her
"You can go ahead and try" Imelda said laughing out loud "I am not afraid of you; you are nothing without the necklace" she said again
Erica grinned after which she looked straight to her eye...
"If you are escaping from here without making sure if the body is in danger or might be in danger; that means the body isn't here" Erica told her as Imelda quickly looked at her with her pupils increasing in its size.
"Your heart skipped a beat, so i am right" Erica said with a smile "I am guessing it is over there" Erica said pointing outside the very place Imelda was going to escape to after locking back the secret escape passageway
"You can't enter into the building without it's passcode, it's a building even you can't get through with your skills " Imelda told her
Erica scratches her head as if she was thinking of something, she leaned closer to Imelda and whisper to her ears "Maybe, but the building does need a familiar human part to get in" she said silently giving Imelda a quick stare "Your body part would work perfectly fine even in your death" Erica told her
Imelda pushed Erica down as she tries to escape but Erica was fast enough to grab her legs causing her to lose her balance. she stabbed Imelda hard on her feet that her craws got in so deep coming out of Imelda's foot; Imelda groaned in pain with her blood gushing out of her foot
"You could run out of blood and die not achieving your fathers dream" Erica told her "I wound like that because you will just be replaced with no family to remember you" she added
"You are just like the sea witch you fucking monster!!" Imelda cried in agony
"No i am not, you made me like this; you humans are trouble" She silently said to her. She quicky dragged Imelda out from the secret passageway.

(Kingdom of Marco)
King Obi wondered why his Assassins haven't returned to him with the news of the queen, he wondered if something has gone wrong. As he ponders around looking flustered, one of his guards come in bearing a message
"Your Majesty, the messenger is here" he told him
"Let him in" King Obi quickly said
The Mer-guard bowed to him; he ushered the messenger inside the king's chamber when he had gone out
The messenger come in bowing to king Obi
"Your majesty, I come with a message for you" he said bowing down
"Go ahead" King Obi ordered
"The Assassins were killed before they could even attack the queen" the Messenger told him
"How could they have possibly got caught?" King Obi asked curiously
"Because the queen didn't lose her memories, it was a trap" he told him
"The Queen what?" King Obi asked eager to hear more
"She asked me to deliver a message to you" The messenger said again, before the King could look at him, the messenger took out the weapon with him and slashed deep into his face.
King Obi shouted drawing the attention of the king's guard. His guards rushed in, they tried to capture the messenger on seeing what he had done to the king but the messenger stabbed himself to death before they could touch him.
"I am going to kill the Queen; I will have her head hanged on the boundaries of the kingdom" King Obi shouted in agony as he collected the weapon from the dead body and stabbed the messenger continuously causing his guards to move back in fear.
