Chapter 4

...Last Time...

"AM I PRETTY?!".

With that, the woman screeched loudly as she suddenly ran towards the house, making Lolly stop and stare in horror as she watched the woman pulling out a large pair of sharp looking scissors, causing Lolly to gasp in horror when the woman with the scissors pointed out like a weapon went towards said person, which made Lolly stare as the woman got closer, until...

______________________________

...Now Onto The Story...

Lolly widened her eyes in shock to see Azriel in front of her with his arm out in front, revealing that his right arm was stabbed a bit by the woman's scissors who was growling slightly that she never got Lolly, making Azriel quietly grunt in pain as the woman moved the scissors slightly to tear the skin which made it bleed a bit, until with narrowed eyes, grabbed the scissors with the other hand and with that, pulled it out, causing more blood to flow out a bit heavily down his scarred hand.
Then after he did this, Azriel threw his arm back and punched the woman across the face, causing the woman to stumble back a bit then fell to the ground, and when that happened, Azriel turned to Lolly said as he grabbed her wrist "We need to go inside the house before she gets back up", when he did this, the two quickly got through the door where the others were waiting for them in the kitchen area, which Lara quickly ran to the backdoor and slammed it shut once the two were inside, then locked it so that everyone and the animals were safe from the mad woman.  
"What the hell was that? Why did this masked woman try to stab Lolly while asking if she was pretty?!" demanded Lance as he swirled around to the others with a terrified look on his face in the kitchen, making Clary who was standing at the kitchen window, saw that the woman was up on her feet in the back garden and staring right at the window to where the kitchen was, causing Clary to turn around to the others with uneasy look on her face to the others, said "Guys...she's back up", and this made everyone look at each other with nervous looks, then up beside Clary to see what was going on.
As they looked through the window, the group noticed that the woman wasn't doing anything as she continued to stare at the window with a blank stare on her face, until they realised that the mask on the woman's face had fallen off to the ground to reveal...

That the woman's mouth had a huge messy red cut that went close to her ears, giving her a crude joker like mouth.

At this, Lolly made a horrified look on her face as she and the others stared in horror when seeing the scar on her face, which made the woman notice that the group was watching her through the window with a terrified looks on their face, making the woman lift the scissors close to her face and opened the silver object wide then shut it quickly, making a loud noise and finally, turned away from the estate to head towards to the forest, disappearing into the shadows with the group going silent from the scene.

"So...that's what we're dealing with? A joker like woman who wields some big as scissors?!" demanded Lance once the group were now in the living room while Azriek had a bandage around his wounded arm, were all drinking either coffee or tea to calm themselves down, when Lolly who was gripping her cup of tea tightly in her hand, said as she had a scared look on her face while sitting on the couch "There's an urban legend in Japan that was eerily similar to what happened...this legend is called either the Slit-mouth woman in English or the Japanese name, Kuchisake Onna,".
"I know that story...it's quite old," said Tsuzuki, making Yu (N), Shinya, Guren, Muraki and Hiro nod at this in agreement with small grunts, which made the others have confused looks at this, while 002 asked "What's the story about anyway?", causing Lolly to look at the taller cyborg and answered him with a serious look on her face.

"The story goes that during the night while walking through the street, a woman with a mask and a red jacket while having the long dark hair and pale skin, goes up to you to ask 'Do you think I'm pretty'. If you say no, she just kills you quickly because in a way, you're insulting her but if you say yes instead...she takes off her mask off to reveal her scar on her mouth. Then she asks again 'Am I pretty?' and if you say yes again, she gives you the same look as her. Also you can't exactly run from her as she's pretty fast, but you can easily get away if you say to her that's she's average or ask if you're pretty. It makes her really confused and gives you enough time to run. Another thing is that for you easily evade her is to fling sweets at her or say that you have an appointment to go which she allows you to go on your own,".

At this, everyone stared at Lolly in shock as she finished the story about the slit-mouthed woman, making Cassian groan loudly at this while he turned to the others said "Great...we got a legend after our asses, now?".
"We need to warn the others about this...and I'll get Hermes to make portals for everyone to get to the HQ easily without going going out in the streets when that woman is out there," said Guren as he stood up to go into another room to get in contact to the messenger god and as he did that, Celaena turned to Lolly with a serious look on her face as she asked "Lolly, can I ask you something private?", which Lolly turned to the other woman as she nodded, replied "Yeah, we can talk in the private library,", so with that, while everyone looked at the two in confusion, Lolly and Celaena went out the room to go somewhere in private.
______________________________

"So, when are you going to tell everyone that you have a mating bond with Azriel?" demanded Celaena once the two women were in the library with the door closed so that no one can listen through the conversation, making Lolly glance down  the floor without looking at the other woman, as she said "I didn't know how to react properly...after thinking that I would be with Zero all my life...only to realise that I wasn't meant to be with him in the first place...it's hard and anyway, I think it's best for Azriel to not know...not when he found out that Mor prefers women to men...it's not fair for him or me this now,".
At this, Celaena made a pitying look to Lolly as she replied "You won't know until you say...maybe it could be good for you...but if you don't want to say this now, just tell them after we deal with this slitted mouth woman?".
At this, Lolly looked up at the blonde woman as she nodded in agreement, asked "Could it be since I have a bit of fae blood that it caused the mating bond to hit me first before Azriel?", making Celaena have a thinking look as she replied "Maybe...but maybe we should tell to Rhys first before we say to the others after the slit mouth business,", which made Lolly nod with a grunt at this.
However, as the two women made this agreement, they didn't realise that behind the door, was Guren who was about to tell them to meet with the others at HQ, had heard the whole thing and had a shocked look at this, unsure what to do with this information or if he should confront Lolly about it, making him have a worried look on his face...

New chapter is up and it looks like things are getting interesting now.
