May's POV

"Oh look. Sleeping beauty is awake." A venomous voice fills my ears as I stir from my slumber.

But it's the voice which I recognise that makes my heart stop. I open my eyes, alarmed and look to my surroundings, hoping to find some familiarity.

I find myself in a pitch black room, with only a small green light in the distance. I seem to be sitting in a wooden chair, ropes digging into my skin. This instantly puts me on edge.

The speaker is hiding in the shadows, not allowing me to identify them. Although, the evilness of their voice is a giveaway.

"Lucifer," I growl into the darkness. I don't know where he is, but I know that if I can hear him, I'm in danger. "Where have you brought me?"

"Oh look, young May taking charge for once. So feisty." I can hear the smirk in his voice, mocking me. But he doesn't give away where he's lurking.

"Stop hiding Lucifer. Show yourself." Tactic for whenever talking to the enemy, act like your sister.

A deep chuckle gets let out and I hear some shuffling. For a moment it goes silent.

"If you keep talking like that, I won't be able to hold myself back from killing you." His hot breath falls on my neck and he lays a controlling hand on my shoulder.

I stay still, knowing if I flinch away from him, he'll be getting the reaction he wants. Suddenly, the lights flash on, blinding me for a few seconds. But now, I can see my surroundings.

I seem to be facing a clipboard, littered with photos. But these photos, I realise, are of me. "Beautiful isn't it?"

The photos are clustered into groups, labeled with different emotions like 'sadness' and 'fear' and there are about 10 photos per group. "W-Where did you get these from?" I ask, my confidence fading.

"I guess could let you in on the secret. I often carry cameras to capture the moment. These are just the best photos I have taken." He walks to the side of me, up towards the clipboard.

He hasn't changed much since the last time I saw him in my dream. Same midnight hair and cold, evil eyes. But this time, his eyes have some hopefulness in them. Which can only mean bad things for me. "What about the ones where I'm happy?"

He meets my eyes, smirks at my humour, and then points to a few of the photos labeled 'laughing' and 'happy'. "These, I have achieved with my special, one of a kind, videoing system. I have been keeping track of you and your friends for a while now so I've been able to obtain a few special ones."

"You stalker! You're deranged!" I scream at him, immediately feeling self-conscious. "How dare you take photos of me!"

"Oh May. But all this, " he raises his hand to the board. "has lead up to this."

"The kidnapping of me?"

"Exactly!" He strides up to me. "Hm, what's the time?" He asks, making my blood go cold.

"Oh, I don't know L. Maybe I can check if you let me go." I grit through my teeth. But then he simply smiles an evil smile and looks at the watch on his wrist. I glance at it too and my suspicions are correct.

"The time is 2:08. What's going to happen in two minutes?" He tests me and I struggle against the ropes. This can't be happening. Not here. "May. Answer the question."

"I'm going to faint. Because I have powers." I continue to fight. I don't want to faint. Not now. "Let me go!" I scream.

"2:09 now. We're getting closer!"

"Let. Me. Go. Now!" I open up my hands and aim healing balls at L. He doesn't see them coming but dodges them with ease. He leans in closer to me and I throw my hands forward. A purple barrier comes forward between me and L.

"You've never done that before." He comments when he gets thrown back by the shield. "I thought it was a rumour that people with some sort of healing powers can create a shield. "

"I've been learning," I say smugly while he shakes his head. "Now you can't touch me."

"Unless it goes down when you faint? 2:10." He says and my eyesight goes black.

                                                         *** May's Dream ***

"Morning." L chuckles as he sits next to me on a chair that had magically appeared. "You know, that shield of yours stays up when you faint. Pretty good."

I look around frantically. I must be in a dream but L, as per usual, decides to join. Although, I'm still being held down by ropes. "As I said, I've been practising."

"But, it doesn't stop me from coming into your dream. Ya need to work on that." He comments, coming too close for my liking.

I open my shield again but it simply shatters. I curse under my breath as L watches me struggle. "Powers don't work in dreams. I've done my research sweetheart."

"What are you planning on doing?" I snarl, hoping that I wake up soon. The sooner I wake up, the quicker I can escape the grasps of L.

He shuffles over to me and I lean away from him, fear striking my heart. But he continues and raises his hand to my face, tracing his finger over my cheek. "Well, I like touching you in your dreams rather than in reality."

"B-But at some point it will stop. You won't be able to continue." I shiver. He smirks and then grabs my wrist. He digs his fingernails into my skin and I hold in a cry of pain.

"That's the fun of it though. But now that you've found your powers, you can heal whatever I do to you." He whispers into my ear, clutching my wrist harder that it starts to bleed. I swear he sharpens his nails for this. "So I don't have a reason to stop."

"I didn't know you had to restrict yourself when it came to me." I snarl, confidence gaining in my voice.

"Time to wake up now."

                                              ***INTO REALITY***

"I despise you," I growl at L as he watches me run my hand over the marks on my wrist. They disappear in an instant, earning an approving sound from L.

"You're about to hate me even more sweetheart." He walks towards the board and turns to a cabinet that sits next to it. He opens one of the drawers and pulls something out. An injection needle.

"No. Don't." I fight against the ropes again but they still don't budge. "Don't come near me with that!"

"This is all in the plan. Hold still, it'll hurt more if not." He walks towards me and lines the needle with my forearm. I scream but he ignores me and then injects the liquid into me. I feel it enter my veins, sending a shiver down my spine.

"What did that contain?!" I shout, panic rising in my stomach. "What have you done to me?!"

"Calm it May. Just something to help you see my way of life." He chuckles and then pulls up a chair near me. "Enough about that. How's Cleo Rivers?" He asks and I stop.

"How did you-"

"Technology darling. That destructive shouldn't be out. You've done a bad thing May." He smiles and I feel my head go dizzy. What did he inject into me?! "Cleo Rivers. She's a firecracker ain't she?"

"Don't talk about her like that." I glare at him. "How do you know her? She hasn't ever been let out."

"But as Decrin's brother, I helped her with stealing the destructives. That was the only thing that Decrin was passionate about more than anything. It was stupid." He shakes his head. "And at that time, Cleo was a talkative baby."

"She's the same age as me," I comment.

"She was annoying as she is now. I was in charge of stealing her group. They all used their powers against me but Cleo....She is capable of something amazing."

"And when you say amazing you mean, world-destroying." I roll my eyes. "Does she remember you?"

"Oh yes. I will always be planted in her mind. Anyway, I'm going to let you go." He says and my eyes widen. Already? Not that I'm complaining. "But that injection. It was an evil jab."

"You turned me evil?!" I shout, panic hitting me again. He smiles and then winks at me, confirming my suspicions.

"I need to tell you my reasons though. Because that's the fun thing. You're now on my side so I can tell you my plan. I hurt your brother by the way." He says simply. I try to struggle but my limbs don't move. They don't want to move.

"Why?!" I cry.

"It's dangerous to have three Penels in one family. There are Grace and you. Peter....well we don't know for sure yet but I did some research and there's a large possibility." He explains. "And as Grace is against the SES, that would automatically mean that the rest of the family is."

"So? The whole world is." I burrow my eyebrows together, not seeing what he's saying.

"But! A family of Penels are dangerous because they can create one big power which is as dangerous as a destructive. And that isn't good for the SES. So I had to get rid of one of you. But the original plan was to kill both."

"But Peter threw me into the portal when you burned down the door." I feel tears spike in my eyes. Peter had risked his life for me. "And, you didn't kill him."

"No. He's sitting in the hospital, alone. That's where you come in. I want you to tear your family apart." He orders me and I shake my head, refusing. But my voice doesn't say no. Instead, I say:

"Yes."

"Go and be Evil May."
