Wake Up

???: Wake up, wake up dad.

Scorpio's eyes shot open:

Dad?

Scorpio slowly turned his head and saw a little girl probably no older than 9

Scorpio: Who are you?

Lola: Thats not funny dad, Its me Lola, your daughter..

Scorpio shot up from his bed.

Lola: Hurry up, Aunty Aria is downstairs.

Once Scorpio heard the name he quickly ran downstairs.

Aria: Finally awake?

Scorpio ran over and hugged her.

Aria: What are you doing?

Scorpio: I thought you were dead.

Aria: Thats rude, I may have been gone for awhile, but not enough to be dead.

Lola came downstairs as well.

Lola: Dad hurry up. Its time to go.

Scorpio: Where are we going?

Lola: Did you seriously forget, you promised to take me to where you work.

Scorpio looked at Aria.

Aria: A promise is a promise.

Scorpio still confused.

Scorpio: alright then let me grab my weapons.

Aria: Weapons? Good one, I've never seen a communicator carry more than a pocket knife.

Lola handed Scorpio a book.

Lola: Here's your book.

Scorpio: Wait wait. Where's your mom.

Lola: Dad are you feeling ok today. Mom is overseas on a mission.

Scorpio didn't want to look suspicious, so he went along with it.

Lola quickly ran out the door.

Aria: so much energy that one, just like her mother.

Scorpio: Her mother?

Aria: don't worry she's got some of you in there too, for one the attitude.

Scorpio: hey...

Aria: what?

Scorpio: Its good to see you again.

Aria: Are you sure you're feeling okay?

Scorpio: Yeah yeah I'm fine.

Aria: Well then let's go.

Lola: Can I drive dad?

Scorpio: Haha funny, backseat.

Lola: no fun, Aunty Aria let's me drive

Scorpio looked at Aria.

Aria: haha , she's clearly joking.

Aria turned to Lola and winked.

Scorpio: Whatever.

They made their way to the headquarters.

He saw his old friends except with some changes, Sagittarius was the leader, Cancer was still a communicator, Virgo is with Taurus and Aries didn't even exist.

Aria and Scorpio received their job for the day.

Sagittarius: I gave you guys something on the safe side, since Lola is here.

Its just a regular house blessing, the owners will call you when theyre ready

Aria: Boring

Lola: Yeah boring.

Scorpio: Well, then let's make a day of this then, say Lola, do you want to go to an amusement park?

Lola's eyes lit up

Scorpio thought to himself: wow her eyes are so pretty, kinda like...nvm.

Aria: Sounds like fun. Let's go little brothers.

Scorpio: You can't say that, I'm taller and I outweigh you by at least 50.

Lola coughed: more like 100.

Aria started laughing.

Scorpio: yeah yeah whatever.

They arrived at the amusement park, Aria decided to go her own way leaving Lola and Scorpio by themselves.

Aria: later I'll call you when they're ready.

Lola took Scorpio's hand and they both started walking around.

They played booth games had some cotton candy, and the Lola's eyes lit up when she saw a tall Rollercoaster.

Scorpio: Do you want to ride that one.

Lola: ummm uh....

Scorpio: cmon let's go.

They both got in line and soon enough they took a seat in the middle cart.

Scorpio could see Lola was a bit scared.

Scorpio: its okay you'll be fine im right here with you.

Scorpio took Lola's hand and held it tight.

Throughout the ride Lola did not let go of Scorpio's hand.

After they got off, it seemed that Lola enjoyed the ride more than Scorpio.

Scorpio: We should sit down for a bit.

Lola laid her head in Scorpio's shoulder.

Lola: Today was fun dad.

Scorpio: Yes it was.

Lola: We should come again when mom gets back.

Scorpio: Yeah we should.

Aria came running by.

Aria: Hey its time to go.

Scorpio: Are you ready Lola?

Lola: Yes I am.

They arrived at the house and got started.

Aria stood guard while Scorpio was walking into each room blessing and splashing holy water.

Lola: Can I try dad?

Scorpio: Sure, give it a shot.

Lola began splashing holy water on the walls.

Aria came running.

Aria: hold on. There's something here.

Just then from the corner a shadow appeared.

Scorpio: Lola get behind me.

Aria went to go attack it but the shadow was too quick and knock out Aria.

Scorpio: Aria!

Scorpio took out his book and started chanting.

The shadow then slapped the book out of his hands and threw him against the wall.

The shadow walked towards getting ready to attack.

Just then Lola grabbed the book and started chanting.

Scorpio: No Lola, run! Get out of here!

The shadow turned to Lola and grabbed her.

Scorpio: Let her go!

Scorpio picked up Aria's weapon and attempted to swing it.

The shadow quickly dragged Lola to the corner.

Lola: Daddy help me!

Scorpio: hang in Lola I'm coming.

The faster Scorpio tried to run, the harder it felt and the further away they felt as well.

Lola: DADDY!

Scorpio: LOLA!

The shadow covered her mouth and dragged her into the shadows

Scorpio reached the corner and fell to his knees and started crying.

Scorpio: I'm sorry Lola, I'm so sorry.

Scorpio noticed a locket in the floor.

He opened it, there was three panels, one side was a picture of himself the middle was Lola, and on the other was...

Scorpio: Ahh now I see, I'm sorry I couldn't protect her.

Scorpio saw a gun on the ground.

Scorpio: Judgment?

Scorpio was still crying and he put the gun to his head, closed his eyes and he slowly pulled the trigger.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP......
