Blood-Bellflower: A Bellflower Bunnies Tale.
Chapter 8.

After the incident that happened which took Emile’s life, the Bellflower Family were traumatized and so did a lot of civilians across the rabbit colonies in the country where Blueberry Hill is located. Men and Women were shocked, outraged and disgusted upon hearing the news about Poppy’s murderous and screwed acts which resulted in a lot of inconvenience and a series of furious riots. The public not only blamed Viktor Busekphaliccio for the incidents that happened yesterday and today, but also Bramble Bellflower as well, this resulted in a furious wave of angry mobs protesting in front of his family’s manor, the mayor’s manor as well as the Cleanheart Family Estate and the Town’s Senate Building. The public not only demanded answers from the Cleanheart Family and the Mayor, but also kept lecturing Bramble for his failures. What’s more worse is that angry kids and teenagers threw toilet paper around the Bellflower Family’s home, but also used paint to make insulting graffiti art against Bramble as well as throwing bricks into the house’s windows. Many people sent in angry emails of protest to Bramble as well as letters of protest as well. The public even threatened to have Bramble killed by hanging or thrown out of town through tar and feathers. To make matters worse yet insane, students and staff members of Caloristus Gallagher Public Grand School became verbally and blindly abusive towards Periwinkle and his siblings, some scolded them for being flawed people, some criticized them for being children of a screwed-up man, some even mocked and teased them for having a father who is stupid enough to let their brother murder a youth, some even mocked and teased them for having a brother who is a damn insane murderer, many even pulled nasty pranks on them to taunt them for being children of a screwed and flawed man, and a few even threatened them with violence both physically and verbally. But the school principal, a few teachers as well as their friends Pimpernelle, Tony, Austin, Ruka, Lilli, Anthony, Sylvester, Norbert, Keaton, Skye and a few others felt sorry for Periwinkle and his siblings. Pammy on the other hand felt sorry for Periwinkle and his siblings, yet she was outraged to hear on what Poppy did. She spoke to Periwinkle one day when she saw him. “I demand an explanation!” said Pammy “I was told that Poppy murdered a boy who is the same age as him, and I need to know what just happened! What is something stupid that led to this incident?!”, “I’ll explain.” Said Periwinkle then he told Pammy everything, not only the incident between Poppy and Violette and Pimpernelle and Emile, Poppy’s behavior towards him and his family, Viktor’s thievery as well as the ordeal and fiasco between Poppy and Emile which led to Emile’s death. “I see.” Said Pammy “I didn’t properly hear about or entirely know the whole thing, but that does not give your brother the right to kill someone out of stubbornness, stupidity and hatred! If intend to kill someone for a good reason like that, it’ll be a screwed life. But the way he killed Emile out of something that he thought was a good cause is not only screwed, but also stubborn, disgusting, ruthless and most importantly stupid. I always knew Poppy can be somewhat stubborn and hot-headed, but I never thought his anger and arrogance got him sent to juvenile hall for murder!”, “Not to mention he furiously and spitefully severed ties with me and our entire family.” Said Periwinkle “He even dishonored our late mother, Isabella, as well as God the Father and Saint Mythra and Saint Zeus. And what’s worse, our family not only became a laughing stock, but also being criticized badly by furious civilians and the public as well. Even Papilio and his daughter Pimpernelle criticized me and my father for our failures.”, “Yet, both of you could’ve prevented this.” Said Pammy “It would be wise if you had succeed, just like that.”, “Yeah, but…” said Periwinkle “Public opinion can get wild and hostile sometimes, and there’s been a lot of angry complaints regarding on what happened with the results of Viktor’s thievery, not only what happened on May 7th 2022, but also May 8th 2022 as well. Just to set the record straight, people began to criticize my father since May 9th 2022, and yet he didn’t want the situation to get worse since Poppy killed someone.”, “And yet I was told that the mayor and the town council are going to have a word with your father.” Said Pammy “They’re going to do that at 4PM today.”, “Funny.” Said Periwinkle “I suspected this would happen on that time.”.

At the mayor’s house, the Mayor and his aide and a few members of the town council were speaking with Bramble, and witnessing this conversation were Papilio, Gunther, Agathe and Austin’s father Frediano Cleanheart. The mayor of the town, Stabuno Cuinneacháin, an erect rabbit with pale fur, black hair, goatee and blue and beige clothes, spoke sternly to Bramble. “There’s been a lot of issues happening in this town, Bramble Bellflower.” Said Stabuno angrily “There’s been a lot of riots across this town as well as letters and emails of protest and criticism towards both you and me. Even Paxton and Julia, the parents of that dead boy, Emile, had sent a letter of protest towards both of us as well, and in my case, they did not appreciate of letting youths going violent and picking a fight with each other which resulted in one of them, their son Emile, end up dead. They trust that I’ll find suitable punishment for your juvenile delinquent son Poppy. And let me be perfectly clear, Bramble, if you’re going to have a good deed as well as running a good family, you do it right without resulting in tragedy and without making a fool of yourself! Everyone is disgusted of not only what you did, but what you have not done right! None of this bumbling around! None of this hell resulting in your children’s madness! None of this improper raising on your offspring! None of this crap-oriented injury and bad publicity! None of this series of screw-ups resulting in being lectured badly by men and women! And none of this being a stupid excuse for a father and a family man! Also, I’m going to give a huge warning.”, “What could that be?” said Bramble sternly, “I do not want any of your sons or your daughter to be a problem to public just like that!” said Stabuno “Although your son Periwinkle is good-hearted and honorable, and is loved by others. 4 of your children can be somewhat screwed. Because of what one of your children, Poppy, had done. Angry men and women demand justice with extreme measures! And if Paxton and Julia press charges against your son, Poppy, I promise you your parental rights of him will be permanently terminated and he’ll be spending a good long time in juvenile hall. I do not want your children, including Poppy screwing up everything, and I do not want a hellish act to happen ever again! Not ever again, you hear me?! And do not want to make that nasty face like this in front of you again!”, “OK, I understand, Mr Mayor.” Said Bramble “But I assure you my son will never do such murderous acts again. Paxton and Julia are going to press charges against my son, but I will not lose custody of Poppy permanently. My friends and I made sure of that.”, “Normally it is unessential to do such acts to prevent losing custody of children for good.” Said Stabuno “But I’ll allow on one condition, make sure Poppy stays put in juvenile hall for a month and 8 whole days as well. Understand?”, “Understood, sir.” Said Bramble “But still, he needs to see a psychotherapist as well as getting involved in a social-skill seminar for months as well.”, “That’s fine for now.” Said Stabuno “But don’t yet any of this happen again.”.

Next day, it was May 13th 2022. Periwinkle got out of bed and got changed into his casual clothes. When he got downstairs, he saw the worried and horrified looks on his family, Mistletoe had seemingly angry look yet he was worried at the same time. “What just happened?” asked Periwinkle, “The corpse of Emile.” Said Mistletoe “It just vanished. I don’t know what happened, but some part of me suspected it was stolen.”, “Well?” asked Periwinkle, “The corpse was taken to the morgue on May 8th, but on May 11th, it vanished.” Said Bramble “It wasn’t revealed until today. The funeral was suddenly postponed and a lot of people inside the morgue were… Well… Not only killed, but also…”, “Let me guess.” Said Periwinkle “Became the undead?”, “Yes and no.” said Bramble “Not just that, but caused a violent outbreak in the morgue and a few parts of Blueberry Hill. What’s worse, is that the police and military tried everything to endure the outbreak, but they almost succeed.”, “But that’s not all.” Said Violette “There’s one more problem here.”, “Yeah?” asked Periwinkle, “We were told of a nasty zombie outbreak happening in two states of the USA, which happens to be New York and New Jersey.” Said Violette “Both states had been touched by the outbreak and it is going to target Pennsylvania and Connecticut next.”, “Funny…” said Periwinkle “Several days ago, I was told that Czech, New Zealand, Pakistan, Greece and Peru were affected by this crisis as a result of several things. Not just a world health crisis that lasted for 2 years, A war between Russia and Ukraine, corruption across Canada, New Zealand and Peru over the past 10 months, as well as the wildfires in Northern parts of Canada, parts of Hawaii, and worse of all, 45% of Greece. Something tells me all of this is part of a series of chaos which may led to a violent Zombie Outbreak and of course the ravage of this entire planet. I do wish I have an answer to all of this.”, “Are you saying human society is thrown into chaos?!” asked Mistletoe, “Yup.” Said Periwinkle “If left with the devices of the ones who orchestrated all of this, it’ll be war, chaos and bloody outbreak. Tragedy is brought to all of us here.”, “Do you think something like this will tear our planet apart?” asked Violette, “It is possible, my sister.” Said Periwinkle, “That’s going to be a problem, boy.” Said Bramble, “Yeah?” asked Periwinkle, “Your mother and I fear something odd would happen one day.” Said Bramble “You too knew and feared this would one day happen, do you?”, “Yup.” Said Periwinkle “You and Mommy knew someday it’ll likely happen like I do, and yet I don’t want to think what will happen next.”, “You’re being absurd, Bramble, are you?” asked Zinnia, “I wish I was entirely.” Said Bramble “But my fears suspected something odd, a plague that’ll summon demonic beasts that’ll come to reality just like that. Not just pagan and demonic zombies, but also unholy and savage creatures controlled by a satanic hive mind called Demonix. The Demonix come from the Dark Realms of Ultra Space and can turn the people who get killed by them into violent undead creatures as well. Its essence carries some lethal and viral force called the Dark Miasma and can turn the corpses of the people it killed into the undead within 10 seconds. And the corpses themselves are alive yet controlled by a hive mind, one that has a dark aura and dark heart. Those with blackened hearts that are strong yet dangerously ambitious can easily control the Demonix. There are two types of them, Heartless and Nobody. Heartless Demonix are divided into two subspecies, Pureblood and Emblem. Pureblood Heartless Demonix are born from the Dark and Pagan Realms, while Emblem Heartless Demonix are born from either unusual and extremely wild parts of the Dark and Pagan Realms or born from the corpses of mortals they killed. Emblem Heartless Demonix are mostly recognized by estrange heart-like symbols. Nobody Demonix are divided into two subspecies, Pureblood and Emblem. Pureblood Nobody Demonix are born of people who either died from deaths that are caused by illness, madness, accidents, tragic and confusing suicides, murders or natural disasters or people who were foolishly and madly erased from existence or people who were idiotically removed from existence when realities get destroyed by either accident or some purpose that isn’t a good idea or actually good thing. Emblem Nobody Demonix are born from beings whose existances are struggling hard to survive being removed from existence or those whose existence essences develop a powerful spiritual mutation by both light and darkness combined. Pureblood Nobody Demonix can be mainly recognized by their estrange symbols are their skins of grey and white color. While Emblem Nobody Demonix can be mainly and strongly recognized by their estrange yet flamboyant symbols and their colorful skins and fancy-looking bodies. Pureblood Heartless and Pureblood Nobodies lack proper hearts upon birth, but when Pureblood Nobodies come in contact with a being’s heart or cultivating a heart of their own by mutation or spiritual contact with beings who are holy or pagan, they become Emblem Nobodies in quick manner, even Pureblood Heartless come in contact with a being’s heart or cultivate a heart of their own by unusual yet fancy-looking methods. You had estrange dreams about them, do you?”, “Yeah, I do.” Said Periwinkle “Even my mother had estrange dreams about them when she was alive. Both she and I foresaw what will happen and we’re both afraid to see that.”, “Yeah.” Said Mistletoe “That’s totally wild and pagan.”, “Sometimes, we can’t get away from bad omens easily.” Said Bramble “Besides, I hope it doesn’t create a beeline for anyone, and I hope that corpse doesn’t become a Demonix.”, “You mean Emile’s corpse.” Said Periwinkle “I hope it won’t be reality.”, “You four finish your breakfast can get ready for school.” Said Zinnia “Then after school, we’re going to your brother’s trial at the town’s courthouse. The judge had decided Poppy’s sentence.”, “I’ll go to the courthouse later.” Said Periwinkle “Right now, I have something pivotal first. I promise I’ll be back, and yet sadly I wouldn’t have time to change into formal clothes upon coming back from school.”, “You know it isn’t appropriate to go to an urgent and formal event at a time like this.” Said Bramble, “I know, but I need to do something over changing into formal or semi-formal clothes before heading to the courthouse. But don’t worry, I promise you nothing bad will happen.”, “Periwinkle never learns that often, does he?” said Mistletoe, “Maybe or maybe not.” Said Bramble “I have a feeling he’ll likely endanger himself.”.

After school, Periwinkle went to a place where he may find answers, a place which happens to be the town’s temple. Living in the temple was an erect rabbit man in his mid-60s named Merakazu Masaki and his wife a lop rabbit named Majako Masaki, and supporting them were Munetaiki Ishida, Lavidasana Chochikala, Erloslas Kitolovich, Berindas Konostrom, as well as Anglican monks and nuns Tsurumi Takamura, Suma Hasegawa, Stefan James and Rachael Ferrel. Merakazu is known to be the head monk of the temple and the supporters along with the Anglican monks and nuns help him with the work. Merakazu is currently yet somewhat wheelchair-bound and his legs are somewhat weak and unstable. Sometimes he uses a wheelchair, and sometimes he uses two canes. He barely had the strength to walk with help from two canes, and he struggled hard to be active. Despite his condition, he continues to be the head monk. Upon arriving at the temple, he spoke with Merakazu and Majako. It took an hour for Periwinkle to explain his trouble, then Merakazu had an answer. “Head to a shrine called the Sinohalui Shrine, it is founded by Ladodrino La Sinohalui, a veteran cardinal who is both Anglican and Catholic.” Said Merakazu “Anglican and Catholic monks come here for prayers and meditation. If want to head to the shrine, you need a map to get there.”, “Erloslas Kitolovich, our friend here will help you out.” Said Majako “He’ll show you the way.”, “Thanks, Head Monk. And thanks, Miss Masaki.” Said Periwinkle “Glad you’ve helped.

Periwinkle went to the shrine with a lop rabbit man with white fur and blue eyes named Erloslas Kitolovich accompanying him. Erloslas is one of the temple’s employees and he along with his co-worker Munetaiki Ishida had been supporting the monks and nuns of the temple for 10 years. Upon arriving at the shrine, Periwinkle smiled. “Here’s the temple.” Said Erloslas “I’ll leave you be here, Periwinkle Bellflower. I’m sure you may find answers.”, “Thank you, Mr Kitolovich.” Said Periwinkle “I’m glad you’ve showed me.”, “It was my pleasure, boy.” Said Erloslas. As Erloslas left the area, Periwinkle walked up to the shrine. He prayed to Saint Mythra and Saint Zeus for 25 minutes, then he saw a vision. He foresaw the same visions again, a demonic force who wants to throw Earth into chaos with support from the zealots tainted and driven violent by its madness, Foxhell. He also something in the vision of what is going to happen to his family and his friends, he also saw in the vision a violent zombie outbreak caused by the dark miasma, he also had a vision of what would happen to the humans as well as the extraterrestrial colonists who lived here, and he also had a vision of what will happen to the planet’s fate. He saw in the vision mortals killed by those lethally infected and reconstructed by that black mist will end up being reconstructed into undead within 10 seconds. He even saw something that resembles a black hole and that it was that of a black glowing sphere with a destructive aura and it can suck up anything into it, yet it wouldn’t kill those who have become undead and demonic. Periwinkle feared that something bad will happen. Then he saw a familiar person who thought to be permanently dead, it was Emile, and with him are 5 silhouettes that consists of 3 erect rabbits and 2 lop rabbits who are in their teens, then he saw a vision of 6 human-demon hybrids and saw that one of them is a human with white long hair, a white small beard, red reptilian eyes, pale skin and a black outfit, that man happens to be Thalez Del Moriartagoz, then he saw demonic being with black aura glowing, and that was Belphegor, the Demon Lord of Pure Evil and Fell God of Terrorism. Then he saw the unholy weapon, Elixemgulat, and then insane and feral spirits who were behaving like spiritual beings of the damned. Then 7 seconds later he saw a demonic grey face with demonic eyes, bloody face and vampire-like teeth, as well as hearing a banshee scream. Then the vision stopped, and Periwinkle gasped in shock after seeing all of it. Periwinkle then looked at the sky, he was conflicted and unsure. Then he heard a voice, “So you’ve saw something in another vision.” Said a familiar voice “Not only the same ones, but also additional ones regarding the Foxhell.”, Periwinkle turned around and saw a white dragon who almost the same size as him, but a little more taller than Periwinkle, and is somewhat humanoid with five fingers on each hand. The dragon was wearing powder blue robes with a hood, orange short-sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans, crimson fingerless gloves and laced boots, and a black waistbelt with a silver buckle. “Hello, Periwinkle Bellflower.” Said the white dragon “We meet again.”, “Is that you, Zeus?” said Periwinkle “You look somewhat different, do you?”, “Yes, that’s me.” Said Zeus “I knew you recognize my voice, and I have to take a form of a dragon to interact with demi-gods like you. Yet I have to wear a unique outfit every single time when coming here for a reason.”, “Why are you here?” said Periwinkle, “For a discussion.” Said Zeus.
