Peruru walked into the living room where Derrick and Darien were sitting anxiously Helios had returned and was just walking down the stairs from leaving Rini in her room. All three men were looking at him worriedly. Peruru stared at his brother, then looked at Darien. “You should go in there and just stay with her.”

“What happened?” Darien stood and growled angrily. Peruru sighed and shook his head as Darien stalked over to him and menacingly squared his shoulders. “Tell me what she said.”

“I can’t do that… not yet.” Peruru shook his head and walked to Helios. “We need to talk.” Helios nodded and looked past Peruru just as Peruru was yanked backwards and Derrick slammed him into the ground. “What are you doing? Get off of me!” Peruru shouted as Derrick growled and punched him a few times causing his lip to split.

“This is all your fault!” Derrick shouted angrily as Helios effortlessly pulled him away from the passive Peruru. Darien shook his head angrily and marched into his bedroom deciding that his wife was more important than the struggle going on. “You know you did this! You had the ability to keep Seriah in there and you let someone else do an evaluation of her. You let her get out and now she’s attacking my mom!” Derrick struggled against Helios and managed to get free.

“Icky!” Rini shouted and rushed down the stairs. “Icky stop! Icky stop!” She shouted desperately as Derrick continued to go after Peruru. Helios was still trying to restrain the man when Derrick slammed his elbow back into the white haired man’s face. “Helios!” Rini whispered furiously then stomped her foot. “DERRICK!” She screamed, her high-pitched voice piercing the air painfully. Derrick paused for a brief moment allowing Helios to grab him and slam him into the ground. Helios’ lip had burst open and was now oozing blood.

“If I didn’t think it would ruin her life I’d gut you right now.” Helios growled angrily and shoved Derrick’s arm at a painful angle up his back. Rini ran over there and put her petit hands on Helios’ face before she rushed into the kitchen and came back with a damp napkin.

“Here…” She handed him the napkin and angrily glared down at Derrick who was glaring at Peruru. “Why are you fighting?” She placed her hands on her hips. “Ruru?”

“Don’t worry Rini… we’re just playing.” Peruru sighed and touched the nasty welt that was forming on his forehead. Helios glared at him then looked at Rini with concern. “Derrick’s just playing a little rougher than we…”

“Stop lying to her!” Helios snapped. “We’re fighting because your brother’s an ignorant jackass.” Rini’s eyes widened then she smiled genuinely. “Are you going to straighten up now or do I have to break your arm?” Helios snapped at the man beneath him. Derrick said nothing but nodded.

“Derrick… why don’t you take Rini out somewhere… I mean… it could do some good… my brother and I can talk.” Peruru suggested then sighed as Rini protested and wrapped her arms securely around Helios. Derrick was off of the floor and straightening his clothes while looking from one twin to the other angrily.

“I’m not going anywhere!” Rini shouted and squeezed Helios even tighter while closing her eyes. Derrick balled his fists and pulled out his cell phone. He had to get out of this house, away from everyone in it. He had to see Trista.

“Whatever.” Derrick snapped and texted Trista, instructing her to meet him in the park. “You’re coming with whether you like it or not.” Derrick pointed at his sister who shook her head and held onto Helios. “Yes, come on Rini.”

“No, you’re not taking her anywhere, you’re angry right now and you’re the one Seriah’s most likely to follow.” Helios said defiantly and wrapped his arms around the small girl. “I will not let you be the downfall of this girl.”

“I could say the same about you!” Derrick shouted and pointed accusingly at Helios. “You’re the one who’s in love with a child!” Peruru stood aside and was shaking his head sadly. This was going to get ugly if Derrick didn’t leave and it seemed that he wasn’t going to do that unless Rini went too.

“Helios, let him take her… you’ll be careful right?” Derrick nodded angrily and grabbed Rini the moment Helios released her. “Be…” Derrick pulled Rini out of the house and slammed the door behind him. “Careful.”

Helios stared at the door then glared at Peruru menacingly. “Let’s make this quick. I don’t trust that… pompus… asshole!” Peruru shook his head and sighed. “Come on!”

“Okay! God! What is it with the men around here and getting so uptight over women?” Peruru sighed exasperatedly. “This is simply ridiculous!” He looked at his brother who had his arms crossed impatiently. “Fine… we have a Seiya imitator to deal with.” Helios froze as the words hit him. “He was here, in the house. He attacked Serena… apparently he’s very convincing because she thinks it was Seiya.” Peruru relayed the information and shook his head.

“That’s what you wanted to tell me?” Helios shouted and rushed to the door. “You fucking idiot! Yeah, let’s not tell Derrick so when he sees the guy he’s going to get distracted and Seriah’s going to nab Rini. Brilliant!” He yanked open the door and rushed outside as Peruru realized the error in his thinking. Please no… please no! Helios chanted as he rushed to the park where he knew Derrick was heading.

“You seem a little upset.” Trista said cautiously as Derrick approached. He was practically dragging Rini with him as he marched over to where Trista was. “Hey Rini!” She smiled hopefully. Whatever was going on Rini didn’t look happy.

“You will stay in my sight at all times understand me? Don’t even think of going back home without me.” Derrick said sternly and released her hand so she stumbled a few steps but steadied herself. Her eyes teared up as her lip quivered and she rushed to the long tunnel where kids when to hide from their parents. “RINI! I mean it!” He went to go after her but Trista caught his arm.

“You can see her from here.” Trista walking him to a bench and sat down as they watched Rini crawl into the long tube and sit down to hug her knees. “What’s going on?” The woman with long green hair asked patiently.

“I… I don’t know… there’s just so many… bad things in my life and I can’t get rid of them!” Trista knitted her brow and sighed while Derrick leaned back and slammed his fists into the bench. “I’m just so angry!” Trista nodded and looked at Rini’s petite figure which began to move to the other end of the tunnel. Derrick looked towards the tunnel and froze when he spotted a figure across the playground that didn’t belong. “What the…” He stared at the figure which subsequently made Trista stare too. “That’s not…” He studied the man who looked as if he were glaring at him from across the playground. It looked like Seiya! “Trista… what do you see?”

“Um… the guy with the black hair and ice blue eyes? Why does he look like he’s glaring at us?” She asked hesitantly and finally looked at Derrick who looked terrified. Suddenly Derrick stood, his fists clenched.

“Seiya! Is that you?” Derrick yelled causing children and parents alike to stop and stare at him. The man in question grinned and nodded his head in affirmation then turned away and began to walk into the woods. “Rini!” Derrick ran to the tunnel and ducked down. The girl was nowhere to be found. “Oh my God… RINI!” He turned in a circle as Trista began to search the playground for the little blonde girl. Derrick pulled the photo of his sister from his wallet and began to show it to people.

“Yeah, I saw her. She left with a woman with long black hair and blue eyes. She looked perfectly happy…” An older lady smiled and looked up at Derrick. He felt all the color drain from his face, especially as he saw Helios and Peruru approaching. “Is there something wrong dear?” The lady asked as he began to shake his head. How could he have been so foolish?

“Where is she?” Helios growled and grabbed Derrick violently by the collar. “So help me God you’d better know where she is!” He shouted, as Derrick remained silent. Helios saw Trista talking to multiple parents and from the looks of her hand gestures she seemed to be describing Rini. “Where is she?” His tone was no longer angry, in fact it was surprisingly dark.

“She went with Seriah.” Was all Derrick said before Helios ripped him away from the playground and slammed him into a tree. “I know!” Derrick shouted before Helios said anything. “I don’t’ know how it happened… one minute she was right there then the next… she wasn’t! I thought I saw Seiya and then… she was gone! I don’t even know how Seriah managed to get her.”

“Most likely because Rini doesn’t know the woman’s a threat! Rini thinks she’s some princess and more than likely, Seriah played it up! You let her get your sister!” Helios was shouting so loud that parents were beginning to take their children away from the playground. Trista rushed over followed by Peruru. “She will kill her!” Helios let Derrick go and began to walk away.

“No! Helios no! If you go the imitator will get you! Now we know he’s with Seriah. He’ll kill you before you even get near Rini.” Peruru held his brother back. “Think about this! We have to be careful. They’re not going to do anything to her right now. Not until Darien knows they have her.”

“You’re wrong… Seiya was abusive and she looks so much like Serena… the imitator will hurt her and Seriah won’t be able to do one thing about it… I have to try to get her.” Helios said softly, his voice laden with guilt and sadness.

“Not yet… please not yet Helios… I know you care for her but you just can’t risk going right now.” Peruru smiled sadly. “We have to go and tell Darien.”

Rini sat in the back seat with a smile on her face. She was happy to get away from her angry brother and was excited to go with the princess. “Do you live in a castle?” Rini asked Seriah excitedly. Seriah looked at her with a smile plastered on her face.

“No… a castle wouldn’t fit in around here… but it does have a dungeon.” Imit said sternly from the drivers seat. The girl in the back seat was such a naïve little one it amazed him. How could Serena and Darien raise such a clueless child? “Nehelenia, tell her of your house.” Seriah looked at Imit wearily and then back at Rini who was readily awaiting an answer.

“W… well… I um… it’s a big house, your room will be upstairs.” Seriah smiled as genuinely as she could but faltered slightly. She knew Imit wasn’t happy with the tale, he had wanted her to tell the full gruesome story but she didn’t want Rini discovering her dark intentions until she had her safely locked away.

“Who are you?” Rini looked at Imit curiously. He smiled a large, cold smile, then looked back at her. “Are you a king?”

“I am! I am king Seiya!” He laughed and pulled the car into the driveway of the house Seiya had built. “Here we are little princess.” He cooed and got out of the car, yanking her door open. Rini got out and stopped, her widened blue eyes scanning the house. “Come along Rini.” He held his hand out for her as Seriah went to unlock the door. Rini looked at him then at the house and took a step back. “Rini.”

“No… I don’t like it here… it feels funny. I want to go home.” She looked from Imit to Seriah then back. Imit smiled and stepped towards her, thankful for the somewhat secluded atmosphere. He grabbed Rini almost violently and carried her into the house kicking and screaming. He took her upstairs and thrust open the door to Seriah’s old room. Throwing the little girl on the bed he grabbed the door handle and smiled at her.

“Welcome little Serena. Don’t piss me off or else you’ll regret it.” He slammed the door and locked it. Finally Seriah was getting her way and soon… he’d have his. He didn’t volunteer to be Seiya’s imitator for nothing. No, he wanted what Seiya had, he wanted the women Seiya had. “I’ve locked her in your room.” Imit snapped as he descended the stairs and Seriah was waiting.

“Thank you for your help.” She visibly relaxed. “We’re a pretty good team.” Imit watched her carefully then sneered like Seiya would have. “What?” Seriah looked at him with reservation. She wasn’t sure which person Imit was at the moment but something told her he had officially become her father. A few times he’d tried to do something sweet for her but it was clear that he favored acting like her father. She couldn’t blame him really, at times she forgot he wasn’t her father.

“Of course we are Seriah. You’re my daughter.” He stepped forward and locked his eyes on hers. “Though you’re not entirely acting like it.” She gulped and smiled just before he grabbed her by the hair. She hissed her pain and looked at him with large eyes. “You’ve become quite mouthy.”

“I’m sorry Daddy.” She whispered and waited for him to say something else. Imit stood there, admiring her features and felt a familiar twinge in his stomach. Seiya had told him many stories of Beryl abusing him, additionally he had expressed his difficulty in not treating Seriah like her mother. Seiya had never sexually abused his daughter though he had thought about it many times when Serena wasn’t around. Seiya had been a sex driven man and Imit found himself wondering what Seiya would do in this situation. Maybe he would give in and do what Seiya hadn’t. He could control Seriah just like Seiya had… why not. “I don’t mean to be disrespectful.” She added. He released her and shook his head. He should have taken Serena in the bathroom. That would have been way too easy!

“They will come for her. Helios will be first. That moronic boy is actually in love with that girl… disgusting isn’t it?” Seriah bit her lip as she nodded. She didn’t want Imit to see how much he’d hurt her. Something in the way he’d pulled her hair though had aroused her. She wasn’t sure why but she found herself becoming more and more attracted to him. “We must be ready for them.”

“Imit…” She hesitated and placed a hand on his chest. Her father’s icy blue eyes locked on her suddenly before Imit narrowed them. “Please, be Imit for a moment.”

“You mean that annoying little boy who followed me around?” He snapped and saw a sadness wash over her. “Why would you want me to act like him? I’m your father!” She balled her fists and looked at him in frustration. She wanted Imit because she was tired of resisting him.

“Because… I’m attracted to him… I was hoping that maybe… Imit could teach me a few things…” She smiled then cried out as Imit smacked her, sending her flying to the carpet. “OW! Don’t make me fight you!”

“How could you even think of letting that boy touch you?” Seriah stared at Imit with shock on her face. He’d taken this role far too seriously. He then smiled and pulled her to her feet. “Get up!” She winced and looked into his eyes which were undoubtedly filled with lust. “You want to act like your mother then I’ll treat you like your mother!” He tangled his hand in her hair and drug her up the stairs, past the door that Rini was pounding on, and into her parents’ old room.

“Wait a second!” Seriah shouted as Imit pushed her into the room. “Who are you right now?” He smiled, indeed she would ask that question. He didn’t really know the answer though, he’d been Seiya for so long he wasn’t even sure if Imit really existed anymore. “I will not let this happen if you’re my father.”

“I don’t think you could stop me.” He grinned and started to stalk her like he’d seen Seiya stalk Serena. “Face it Seriah, you don’t want to stop me.” She shook her head from side to side in denial.

“No… not if you’re Seiya.” She yelped as he grabbed her again and pushed her onto the bed beneath him. She struggled but soon realized that he knew what he was doing. “Get away from me!”

“Shut up!” He smacked her and grabbed one of the handcuffs Seiya had left attached to the bed. It was easy to get one of Seriah’s wrists into it and even easier to get the other wrist into another. Imit pressed his mouth to hers hungrily. Oh how he’d wanted this, for too long he’d waited in Seiya’s shadow, now he was going to take what he wanted. It was a skill he’d learned from Seiya and he’d use it now. Seriah tried to fight him, tried to bite him defiantly but when he moved his lips to her neck and bit her, she gasp.

“Imit! Get away from me!” She screamed and pulled at the cuffs around her wrists. Something about the situation felt so right to her but at the same time… so very wrong. He paused for the briefest moment and looked into her eyes, is own unsure and questioning.

“You…” He moved away from her slightly, his breath was slightly ragged as he looked down at her. “You’re not a… are you?” She pulled herself away from him and tucked her legs close to her body. “Oh my God Seriah, I’m so sorry!” He relented and quickly uncuffed her wrists. “I mean… I really want you but I’m not… I wouldn’t…” He finished his thought with a frustrated, almost angry grunt.

Seriah stared at him and for a brief moment thought of Derrick and the way she’d treated his so long ago. “Hey… look, I… I really like you but… I’m not going to have sex with my dad okay? I can deal with you looking like him but not acting like him. If you really want me then you have to be you… Imit.” She smiled and touched the side of his face.

“I get it… I’m sorry. I get carried away at times.” He sighed and moved away from her. He hated himself for treating her the way he just had. “I’ll go.” He turned from her and began to leave the room when her small voice stopped him.

“I don’t want you to go.” She had practically whispered it but he’d heard it loud and clear. Turning back to her, Imit smiled and shook his head from side to side, unable to process her moods. “I was waiting for Derrick but… it looks like a more appealing option has crossed my path.”
