Amon accusingly shouted at Harlequin who grinned at her. “Did I say that? Oh, what I mean is, I don’t have officials yet haha,” Harlequin said without an ounce of remorse that he have lied. “Well then, let’s continue our fight, now more seriously,” Harlequin announced as more pawns appeared in front of him.

"The Creator has witnessed you!" he shouted up at the eyes. "But the story doesn’t belong to just her anymore! The Readers demand a trial! They want to decide if the Doctor and the Soul deserve happiness!" A giant screen floated in the air. Maya saw words fly fast across it: — Kill Julian! Makes the story thrilling!

**Sorry had to reupload chapters 10-14, but I've also added two new chapters (15 and 16) to make up for wait in updates** Chapter Thirteen Harley's point of view Ron told me to have a good day and that Jemma would be here soon before he and everyone else left.
