The Blood Night Chapter 9: Beneath the ribbon

"Skippy, I'm sorry when I have to do this, you won't love me any less if I reveal what's behind this ribbon for me to escape, right?" asked Lilly. "Not a bit love, do what you need to do to help others," said Skipper. "Are you so sure? What if you hate me?" asked Lilly. " I won't, I promise Lilly," said Skipper reassuringly. Lilly then quickly kissed Skipper and began to tug at the knot. She started undoing the first knot and she tried to hold back tears of shame at herself for showing Skipper her secret. She had succesfully undid the first knot on her necklace and felt ashamed further still. She then pulled a bit at the second knot, this is when she felt warm feeling along the area of her neck where the black ribbon is, she continued undoing the second knot until it fell free as well. Lilly then saw the loose ends of her undone ribbon knots dangle from the back of her neck. "I really regret this, but I must..." said Lilly, continuing onto the third knot, she had this and one more knot to go before it would be off of her neck for the first time in her lifetime. She went on, moving to the third knot and began tugging at it, she had made this one tighter than the last.
She struggled, pulling a bit hard on the knot and then, she started to pull the knot harder. She then saw it fall loose on her neck, one more knot to go, she then felt warm blood drip from the area where her black ribbon is and flow onto the ground in front of her. Lilly knew it, one more knot ought to let her ribbon fall loose or fall onto the floor. Lilly moved onto the last knot, starting to undo it. She felt more blood pour out the ribbon further. Then, the ribbon just dangled from her neck limply. The group in shackles then winced in disgust as there was a giant slit in Lilly's throat revealed, grossing out Kowalski. "You still love me now Skippy?" asked Lilly. "I feel so sorry for you love," said Skipper. "It doesn't stop getting weird there!!" said Lilly. She then took the ribbon off her neck completely, then, her head started to tilt forward, it continued on and on until it just hit the ground, her head had fallen off her neck. "Still love me now Skip?" asked Lilly tearing up from shame. "I'm sorry Lilly about what happened, so yes, as long as you don't scare me with that," said Skipper. Now the secret was revealed: Lilly's ribbon. All this time, was keeping her head on her body.
Lilly's body sat there as if it still wasn't decapitated, but Lilly was free from her only neck shackle, so she had to get her head back on to release the others. Lilly tried to move around using her tounge, but it only made her head rotate around. "Ugh, Marlene? Since you're closest to my head, can you give me a boost?" asked Lilly."Hmmmmmm..... No," said Marlene smiling. "Awww!!! PLEASE?!" asked Lilly. "If you promise to leave me alone and apologize to me, then I'll help," said Marlene. "I will apologize, but I'm not sure if I can leave you alone much," said Lilly. "Fine, but keep that nasty ribbon on your neck," said Marlene, giving Lilly's head a small kick. Lilly then rolled to her body, it had fallen off the chair and onto the floor, the shackles falling off of it on the neck stub. Lilly rolled her head to her body, where it attached again, and grabbed her black ribbon, putting it on and tightening a few knots. "Alright guys, we're gonna be outta here!!" said Lilly, getting up and pushing a button on the wall that undid all the shackles for the team. "Alright!! Let's go!!" said Kowalski. "Where to?" asked Skipper. "Back to that dastardly villain," said Marlene.
