“You got tricked by a squirrel? You’re not too smart, are you?”

Mountain Lion Cub, South Park

 

 

            “Knights,” Rebecca spat, her dark hair falling in her face.  She shook with rage as Edgar struggled to hang onto her.  “You bastards!  You’re all gonna pay!”

            Standing behind Everett, Ledger blinked.  He looked up Roland on the steps behind him, gesturing to her.  At a loss, Roland just shrugged.  Everett, at the front of the gathered group, started many sentences all at once, but the only thing that came out was, “What?”  In the darkness of the nighttime neighborhood, he stared along with the others, utterly shocked.  “Who the hell are you?”

            “I’m nobody but a defenseless damsel in distress,” she said, instantly forming a weak and vulnerable persona.  “I’m what no knight can resist.  All I need is a dragon and a castle to get myself locked up in.”

            “Goddamn she’s good,” Ledger gawked.

            “You want to rescue her?” Sydney asked.

            “Is that what they’re calling it these days?” Roland said before getting elbowed in the groin.

            She turned and looked at Edgar, smiling an enchanting look.  “Let go of me,” she said quietly, her eyes low.  “I’ll be a good girl.”

            “I don’t doubt it,” he said, not buying.

            “Or,” she offered, shifting her eyes submissively, “a very bad girl.”

            “Okay, I need a drink,” Ledger declared, heading up the stairs, back into the house.

            “Tissue boxes are next to the fridge,” Armand called after him, not taking his eyes off Rebecca.  Roland and he bumped knuckles, laughing.

            “Guys, please,” Everett reprimanded.  He turned back to Rebecca.  “Who are you?  Why did you do all of this?”

            “Why do you hate knights so much?” Sydney added.

            “Besides the obvious reasons,” Marilyn tossed in.  Everett and Sydney glared at her.  “Couldn’t resist,” she smiled harmlessly. 

            “I’m one of the surviving few of your greatest defeated foe,” she said, seething venom.

            Everett thought for a moment.  “That guy up in Brooklyn?” he ventured uncertainly.

            “When you destroyed my world, I swore I would make you pay,” she said.  “Not just you, all knights.  All the bastards who wear black and red!”  She screamed out in rage, fighting Edgar’s grip.  “You killed my brother and you stole my life.  You shattered everything and left me with nothing!  NOTHING!!!”

            “Killed your brother, what the hell are you talking about?” Everett exclaimed.

            “I was part of the Brotherhood of the Sun,” she growled.

            Like a bomb, everything connected.

            “Oh my god,” Sydney whispered.

            “Oh boy,” Armand muttered.

            Everyone’s eyes were on Rebecca.

            “My family,” she said, “has been a part of the Brotherhood of the Sun for ten generations.  We proudly fought against the Illuminati everyway we could, to keep them from gaining control, to keep them from dominating the world.  And you,” she seethed, “you and your pitiful army of knights destroyed the Brotherhood.”

            “And your brother was at the fortress,” Everett realized.

            “No,” she said, shaking her head.  “My brother was already dead by that point.  A knight killed him.”

            “Who was he?” Everett asked.  “Who killed him?”

            “He was killed by a knight named Jericho,” she said.  “My brother was Phillip Assanti.”
