Chaper VIII: The Music Box
Selena and Rouge just finish running some errand that the Young Master has given them. Being tired out of her mind Selena just want to go up to her room and just enjoy her break. They both run to back to her room only to see the door was unlocked. It scared her at first but she calms herself down and walks forward the door. Rouge flying by her side being extremely cautious as he follows his master to the room ready to protect her with his life. she quietly opens the door to see her room was torn apart. Her book was thrown into a pile on the other side of the room. Her closet was open and her clothes and dresses were on the ground. And in the middle of the room, there were two figures holding something. It was her music box.
" Nye sees what I tell you, she was no good. She was just using Doffy to get what she wants."
" yeah I see that but what can she do with Doffy music box anyway."
" Don't know but he treasures this a lot. I'm surprised he still keep it, how long has it been over 20 years I guess."
They jump when they see there was light sudden open in the room. They see the door was wide open and there was Selena and she looked... mad. They can tell from the death areas coming from her.
" Why are you two here in MY room with MY music box." It the first time anyone ever heard Selena voice beside Doflamingo. They would be shocked but they choose to stay calm and use their harsh voice and calm look ready for anything that she throws at them.
" Your music box this clearly is Doffy and you have stolen it from him."
" No that is mine I was given it."
" Then why does it have his signature right here," Diamante yelled back at her, showing her there was two D under the box. She knows it was there but she never notices it was the Young Master name." No answer huh. I guess you know the rule, Nye. The only punishment for those who steal from us is death."
Selena wasn't fully back to reality until she feels Diamante grabbed her head. She tries to struggle off his grip, Rouge try to free her by peaking Diamante hand. But it only makes him more irritated and literally throws Selena out of the window. She smashed through window glass and fall. Immediately a black giant shadow rushes out of the room and whip Selena away, then landed on the side of the pool.
Both Trebol and Diamante saw that and rush down to the pool as well. They can see the girls in swimsuit scream and start to ran away. Gladius, Pica and Senor Pink were already at the pool and at their most cautious stances, they didn't know what happens yet but for what it seems whatever that black thing is it can be dangerous. Trebol and Diamante join the other to have better luck winning.
Then with a blink, both Trebol and Diamante was pushback by someone or something. Luckily they were crash throw the wall, they were quick enough to block the attack with their sword and power. The dust clear away they got a clear look at what attacking them. Their eyes widen it wasn't human at all. The one attack Diamante have a glass sword, it looks elegant and fragile but it really strong and sharp. While the other one looks different. She was the one who attacks Trebol, she has long pointy claw and it looks like it can tear off anything apart. The one thing they have in the comment is they their whole body is made of glass and they look exactly like Selena. they push the glass dolls away and attack them. They look at the dolls trying to figure out what can of devil fruit was it. Is it the kind that can control object or control glass, is it a fruit that can make and control puppet from anything or those things are just illusion she makes, but their force is so real.
Even as strong as the hero of Dressrosa, they can't keep up to these puppets. Either Trebol or Diamante manages to crack them and yet the two off them are badly injured. The other tries to help as well but there skill and power was no match for the two dolls and all have ended up pinned to the wall by the crystals. Trebol and Diamante are at their limit they can't fight anymore. The one with the claw notice this, she digs her claw into the ground. Then suddenly big sharp crystal pop up from the ground and heading its way to Trebol and Diamante. The both of them weren't fast enough and got stuck in the middle of a sharp dangerous crystal. Diamante use his power to slip in between the sharp point, unlike Trebol who is trying his best not to slip down and got stab but thank for his devil fruit it wouldn't take long for that to happen.
The one with the sword jump up, she landed on the edge of two crystal facing Diamante with her sword ready. While all the other shade includes the one about to kill Trebol grow taller and pointier by the minute. Their face darkens as they know this is the end for them both, they close their eyes for it to begin....... But nothing happens they reopen them and see both doll stop moving they start to shack trying to take back control.
" Fufufu~ That enough playing around today, don't you think so Selena dear." They look up. It was Doflamingo himself, flying down up high. He lands down to the ground, he picks up the music box from the ground. He walks closer to Selena, the shadow once cover her react as he did the shadow turn into a four eyes demon. No not it but she. Selena fuse with the shadow being and turn into this thing.
Ignore the other yelling to him she was dangerous and don't take her easily, he keeps walking and turns the handle of the music box, letting it play it the song. That didn't do anything well but it makes her even angrier. The ground around her crank and make a big hole. The two eyes on top were full of anger while the other was crying. She groans, her voice was corrupted like there was 2 voice saying at the saying at the same time. The voice can give anyone the creep. One of them was groaning in anger and hate, but completely different from the other it was crying in sadness.
" Ever on and on I continue circling
With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony...."
As he keeps walking Selena as he keeps singing like it was a lullaby to the girl. But every time he takes a step forward she then takes a step back.
"...Till slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing
And suddenly I see that I can't break free—I'm..."
" AHHH!!!" Baby 5 scream on top of her lungs, when she saw Selena splatter the Young Master with her claw. Her eyes were tearing, her arm turns into a gun and she was aiming for Selena. She was shaking and trying to get her herself to take the shot. Young master, who saves her from her parent abuse.
' Bang' She took the shot but nothing happens. They can see string shinning in the smoke, it forms into a birdcage that means.
"....Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity
With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony.."
Again she stops him from continuing his song by using her to smash him to the ground. This causes his sunglasses to fall off and showing out a pair of blue eyes looking at her red ones, as he smiles gently. Her eyes were scared and she let him go right away and back away from him like before.
'"...To tell me who I am, who I was
Uncertainty enveloping my mind
Till I can't break free, and..."
Doflamingo stands up and walks forward the girls, he didn't even care to pick up his glasses or dust himself. He just keeps walking and holds on to the music box.
"...Maybe it's a dream; maybe nothing else is real
But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel
So I'm tired of all the pain, of the misery inside
And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night..."
After a loud roar causing the crustal dolls and all the crystal sharps shatter. Her shadow form turns bigger and drops down like a raindrop, leaving only Selena there on her knees. She was looking down, not facing anyone.
"....You can tell me what to say; you can tell me where to go
But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know
If I make another move there'll be no more turning back
Because everything will change, and it all will fade to black..."
He stops in front of her, knee down to her height and move some of her hair aside and place his forehead against her.
"....Will tomorrow ever come? Will I make it through the night?
Will there ever be a place for the broken in the light?..."
Doflimango stops singing and was replaced by Selena's voice. Her voice was soft and precious, it can melt even the coldest heart. She looks up at him with tearing eyes.
"...Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay, or should I go?
I've forgotten how to tell. Did I ever even know..."
She pulled back and holding herself trying not to break down from guilt and sadness, hidden inside her for so long. She looks around, looking at the mess she has to make and things she has destroyed, looking at everyone. They looking at her also, but instead of a frighten look it was like they are looking at a complete stranger.
"...Can I take another step? I've done everything I can
All the people that I see I will never understand..."
Looking straight at his eyes, is this really the man she used to know. Why didn't she told her it was him sooner. Why didn't he ever come back for her? Why did he wait so long to come? Those questions float around Selena that moment. Seeing him again she is both happy and scared, she thinks she knows everything about him but actually she never did. She doesn't even know if he still the man she uses to know.
"...If I find a way to change, if I step into the light
Then I'll never be the same, and it all will fade to white."
Doflamingo reached out to her, but she only pulls away from his touch again. She stands up with tearing eyes, the more she looked at him the more she tear dropped. What left from the shadow beast have to gather itself and turn into a giant crow, while Selena turns around and run toward the bird. He tries to grab her back.
" Selena please wait I can explain."
" I'm sorry, Mr... I don't know what to call you anymore. I don't think I ever known you. I'm sorry everyone for everything, I...I... have to go." She climbs on it and flew away. It was the first time the family ever heard the girl talk and maybe even the last time they can ever hear it again.
