#shanderiamortem

~The Mortem sisters. You perhaps wouldn’t think that they are, but I’m telling no lie. Akumu and Shanderia Mortem. Shanderia was born first, as she wasn’t what her parents expected her to be.. This leaded to her unacceptance and left at young age. Akumu, the skulled lady (who looks like the most of her family) came after that~

Orange: 

🌹What makes you feel warm inside? - Being with my soul sister at the times when its possible or at least write to her- Listening POTO music - Drinking tea and listen to rain - Being anxiety free and being able to relax                                                           - Reenacting the phantom at the Masquerade and act dramatic (nerd)                - When people tell me they love my characters.. It seriously means the absolute world to me. Especially when people say they love Shanderia. It always. ALWAYS. Makes my day <3 

🌹What’s your favorite halloween tradition? - I don’t have any that much. One time I was in America when there was halloween which is one of the greatest moments I could remember.. But other than that.. Eating candy? 

🌹What’s the last thing you learned? - Trying to stop interpreting things in a wrong way and decreasing my anxiety

🌹When’s the last time you felt obsessed? - Not that long ago. I got back into POTO and started developing the most amazing things with Nina for our steampunk headworld.

🌹what’s your favorite article of clothing?                                                        - I love black pants a lot and my phantom merchandise <3 

Green:

🌹What’s your favorite thing to do outside? - I don’t go outside often if I have to be honest. Like Shanderia who likes to stay in her Opera, when I do I look around and enjoy the fresh air and possibly try to find ideas for stories and try to relax.

🌹Do you like camping? - I LOVE camping. Due my family never ever camped with me nor had interest, my passion for it grew more when I could. I absolutely adore camping as I don’t do it much. Especially when it rains and you hear the water drops on the tent.. Ahhh

🌹What would you spend $1,000 on? - possibly save up for something?  

🌹What’s your job, or what do you want to do as your job? - I’d more than adore to be a costume creator for a theater or movie.. My soul sister Nina reminded me a day or two ago how much I love such things.. To craft and see people wear everything I’ve made would make me the happiest..

(A little explanation! Andrew, a villain, has at last somehow asked Shanderia to be his companion in crime, this however is at first side not meant as in a relationship, truly just business. Before this two agents (Akumu Mortem and Tarin Silverblood) Who turn out to be the brother and sister of Andrew and Shanderia, had visited the Theater for investigating, the Chimera however Shanderia, wasn’t pleasant by their sudden visit, and made a canvas fall right at the moment her sister Akumu stood on the stage)

Andrew walked into the beautiful but huge living room, looking with pride to his beautiful little palace. It was beautiful well decorated. The interior was more than classic, but it all fitted so perfectly. As he heard the Chimera entering, his smirk disappeared, looking innocent again as he turned slowly to the female. "Want something to drink? A cup of Tea darling?" Andrew asked kindly, letting the female slowly enter his beautiful living room. Two couches that stood in front of each other, a wonderful wooden table in the middle. "No thank you" The female only could say, slowly approaching the man more who began sitting on one of the couches, pointing with his cane to the other, inviting her to sit down. The chimera looked at him at first, later on slowly sat down on the very comfortable couch. "Alright Darling, I see you have questions wondering in that smart head of yours, feel free to ask" Andrew said, looking at the villain female, curious of what she would ask.

"Indeed I have them fine sir, but I won't ask to many" The chimera said, surprised the man saw that.. He was very clever.. Something she had not expect at the first beginning she saw him. Andrew stretched his arms a bit to show her she could ask him anything. "When you were explaining why you wanted me as a companion, you were talking about that we were look alike.. Why exactly?" The chimera began asking, looking serious to the canine as she slowly sat back in the comfortable couch. Andrew began to softly smirk for second, looking at the female in her eyes, slowly leaning forward to eventually start talking. "My dear, As there were two certain persons in the Theatre, one was your family right? The female? You tried to kill her by letting a canvas fall on top of her, but that got stopped by one certain person. I saw your pure hate towards that female, and the man that helped her, was also a family member of mine" Andrew said, slowly sitting back as she looked at the chimera. 'That was why he looked so familiar...' The thought, nodding as she understood it completely. "I suppose you hate him to death?" The chimera asked, softly smirking, actually surprised that agent was his brother, but it explained a lot already. One of her questions was answered.. 'Why did that man looked so familiar to her in a very different way'. The male villain laughed softly, looking up to her again. "Oh sweetheart.. I hate him more than just that. The last thing i want to before I die is end that man.. Or earlier if that is possible" Andrew said and sighed, looking more closely. Oh he wanted to know more. "Tell me dear" Andrew said, slowly. "Why is it that you hate that female agent so much? And there is one certain more thing that I would like you to ask" The canine said, seeing the Chimera already knew what he wanted to ask. "I know my sister and I are not look alike, but that is one of the reasons why I am right now where I am" The chimera said, beginning to explain everything to the man without herself knowing it. It just felt right... She needed to. "When I was younger, I was born sometime before my sister.. Once I had showed myself to the world. My family was shocked. They had expect a normal creature, like the whole family was.. But no, I turned out to be something they had never seen before. They however knew I was dangerous, for the species I am usually comes out of nowhere.." The female said, continuing her story by at first taking a deep breath. "The hatable family I am talking about is the Mortem family.. God I hate them. Their expectations were so high.. Everyone needed to be perfect and ohhh, they were so happy about each other" The female said, not seeing Andrew was... surprised but kinda shocked he just heard a very familiar name. "When I grew up, my sister, Akumu Mortem turned out to be highly intelligent. I myself was smart, but could not see from a slightest grass it was originative from Spain or something.." The chimera said and began to frown out of anger. "Every day, I got told I was so different.. Parents wondered why I wasn't like my sister.. They were disgusted most of the times, seeing me as a true failure, not thinking how I should feel every time they said something awful which was normal in their opinion" The female swallowed, continuing to talk as she heard the man listened more than closely. "I hated my past.. Nor ever wanted to change it by act so kindly that everyone would appreciate me. I wanted to be who I was.. In-between this all, my father, Magnus Mortem, sometimes had told me a story that in his opinion was alright to tell me. He didn't do it often.. Barely.. He kept distance from me, but as I still was a daughter of his, he sometimes just did. I have always remembered it.. Any idea which story?" The female asked, smirking as the man exactly knew it. "Correct, the Phantom of the Opera. The more I looked at the story, the more I felt related to the man.. Wanting to be so distant.. Wanting to be free and do everything on your own. Be powerful, be frightening while for one certain person.. Someone to love in the end" The chimera said so beautifully, looking more strong. "In the meantime when my 'oh so lovely' sister did everything so perfectly on school, in primairy, I disappeared to nowhere, trying to learn myself how to fight, for later. I loved being strong, trying to build it more and more, able to quickly appear and disappear" She said, slowly looking down. "I wanted to be gone from my family.. Like a shadow disappearing as soon as the sun raised.. And at the age of 6 and a half.. My opportunity was there.." The chimera said and slowly looked back up. "The Mortem family needed to be in England for a certain case.. They left us, but accidentally took one person with them" The chimera said and began to smirk mysteriously. “As I had arrived in the beautiful city, waiting for my parents to arrive in London, the next opportunity I got.. I took it" The chimera said and smirked. The moment the door opened from their car, I jumped out without them even knowing I was there.. Taught myself already to look like a shadow.. Like a ghost" The female said, continuing with her story. "I ran, as fast as I could, going to nowhere.. Away from my terrible family.. But then, then the most amazing thing happened" The chimera said, slowly closing her eyes, going back into her mind to that certain happening. "I was silently walking trough the huge amount of people, looking everywhere as I saw this more than marvelous building standing on the West end of London. For some reason I thought that it was connected to me... But how could that be if I was in a city I had never been before?" The chimera asked, seeing Andrew did not say a word, listening more than perfectly to her story. "I just stepped inside, seeing no one in my way, walking to where my instinct told me to" The chimera said, seeing everything from back then in front of her eyes. "As I walked over the beautiful velvet and soft ground under my feet, I saw I took attention... A man walked towards me, eventually picking me up.

~Flashback~

"hey there little girl" A strong man said, walking towards the very young chimera, seeing she was completely silent. The man picked her up, looking kindly as the Chimera was completely silent.. The man.. It looked like.. The one in all her dreams of the story she read once a day at least.. The man smiled, walking with her to the stage were others were working. "Maria?" The man spoke, seeing a sudden female approached the two. "Look what I saw wandering in the Theatre" The man said happily, looking at the chimera as it if was a treasure. The chimera's eyes were sparkling, slowly laying her small hands on the mask. "Are you... The phantom?" The little child asked, looking at that mask. "Hey look! She knows our story.. Beautiful isn't it to see a little child already knows such a wonderful love story" Maria said, smiling as the child was so astonished by the mask. "Do you wanna wear it?" The man asked, smiling as the chimera was speechless hearing that. The man looked at Maria, saying with his expression to give permission for the female to take it off. The man had a wig and everything that should not be ruined, but seeing this little child almost saw it as a dream coming true, he wanted to give her that. Maria smiled, taking off the mask and slowly putting it on the chimera's. Of course it was a little too big, but it stayed pretty well. "Look who we got here! Little phantom!" Maria said, smiling brightly as the chimera was just overwhelmed. For the first time she smiled brightly and felt happy, forgetting everything that brought her here.. Her family.. The hate.. "So where do you come from sweetheart?" Maria asked, keeping a smile as the mask made the child so happy. The Chimera kept silent, eventually slowly a voice appeared. "I.. come from far.. But where I belong I am not welcome.. Nor getting accepted" The chimera said.. slowly as she kept looking down now. "Oh sweetie" Maria said, slowly taking her from the phantom of the musical. "That is not nice to hear at all.. " Maria said, the actual Christine of the musical, dressed in one of the most gorgeous costumes as the man who played the phantom looked sad at the little kid. "Well.. I don't get why you are not welcome nor accepted. Look at you" The man said, smiling as he pointed gently to the chimera's looks. "Your colors even match for this beautiful Theatre and story.. Maybe you just belong here" The man said, seeing Maria looked up. "Lets keep her here in the Opera" The man said but stopped seeing the Chimera held out her arms to get picked up by the man. "John.. We cannot do that.." Maria said, saying the name of the phantom now.. "Why not Maria.. This child is not happy.. or hasn't been happy with where she was. Besides, do you see worried parents around? This little child needs to have a great home, and we have lots of space here in this magnificent Theater" The man said, seeing the chimera looked at him constantly.. These people here, were so nice. The chimera barely could believe what she just heard. Seeing she still had the gorgeous mask on, she began to smile brightly, trying to speak.. "I.. Is that possible?" The chimera slowly asked, John looking at Maria now.. Maria saw the happiness in the chimera's eyes which weren't there before, sighing as she smiled afterwards. "Alright.. But John, we have to take care of her, she cant just wander around here alone at this age" Maria said, seeing the Chimera jumped a bit in the arms of John. "Welcome to the family sweetheart! May I know your name?" The man asked kindly, looking down at the little phantom. "Shanderia.. My name is Shanderia" The little chimera said, smiling brightly to see the man's and woman's reaction. "Do I hear that right?" John asked Maria, both smiling brightly. "Like I already said, this beautiful little girl, belongs here.." John said, feeling a little hug from the Chimera. "Now common, let’s find a nice spot here somewhere in the Theater for you" John said sneaky, smirking as the chimera laughed a bit. "But John, please remember.. She should stay a beautiful secret! Just some people should know!" Maria said and smiled. "Got it" John said and winked, beginning to walk with the chimera, wandering trough the Theatre, finding a perfect place for her. "I see you like that mask don't you sweetheart! Wonderful that you know the story, you know what, its yours now" The man said, smiling happily as the Chimera looked with disbelief. "Really?" The chimera asked, seeing the man nod firmly. "Yes! Its yours! The Phantom of the opera has awoken" The man said happily and strong, making the chimera beam and laugh out of happiness. As they found the most perfect spot, the man put her down, sitting down next to her. John looked around, smiling brightly. "This right now little phantom, is your beautiful new home!" John said, smiling as he looked down to the chimera who couldn't be more thankful. She was speechless, flabbergasted. She wasn't able to talk. The man smiled happily, looking back to his surroundings. "I see you have been through a lot sweet lady, that is why you right now deserve what you love most.." John said, smiling as he looked back to the little girl. "Lovely to finally have a new member to the team! You can listen to the music everyday, even help if you would, wander around in the Theatre, finds its secret doors" John said, smiling. "We will help  you with food and water don't worry! But keep yourself like a true but beautiful secret like Maria said.. Everyone will love you I know that, but some people do not accept this kind of actions.. But hey, we still do them" John said, winking as he slowly stood up. "Sir.. Thank you.. So much" Shanderia said, looking up to the man who was more than just kind. The man kneeled down, looking at how that mask fitted her so well with the color markings on her body. "You belong here Shanderia.. You are a beautiful girl that deserves something beautiful.. Welcome to Her majesty's Theatre!" The man said, later on receiving a hug from the little girl. He smiled, eventually leaving back to what he should do, letting the chimera just.. Look at her surroundings.. Her new home.

~Present~

"They took me in, let me wander in the beautiful Theatre.. Gave me food and water and saw me as family.." The chimera said, smiling as she thought about it. "I learned myself to be like a shadow.. Something you did not see if you did not know about it. Just a certain amount of people knew i was there, which was the best.. And grew up in-between the most kindest people. My dark heart remained though.. What my parents and sister had done to me is and was just" The chimera said, tightening her hands in fists. "Time flew by, and I grew up, knowing every part and door in the beautiful Theatre. I knew I should stay hidden for the people that did not know me.. New people that began to work in the Theater.. new cleaners.." The female said.. continuing after again taking a deep breath. "One day, as I reached the age of 18, I had learned myself to be like a true shadow.. Quick, no sound to make.. Like a ghost.. Like a Phantom" The chimera said, saying the last word with a very strong voice.. "An inspector came, saying the Opera was not paying enough for the rent.. They did everything perfectly, but this man was so harsh and wanted to close the Theater if they wouldn’t give him the amount they needed to pay now" The female said, growling. "My dark mind began appearing, looking up to the chandelier I was close to, grabbing a knife that was close to me, throwing it into the direction of the strong robe the chandelier was hanging at. In seconds, the Chandelier fell down.. Not hitting the man. But letting him fall down after he had jumped away from it. The chandelier didn't broke apart.. but had hit the ground firmly, causing it to shake a bit. I looked down to the man, standing on a high place somewhere in the Theatre. "You.. You monsters.. I will shut this Theater down immediately" the man said as I saw him running away. I quickly jumped down, chasing him as he eventually stood outside the Theater in the night as it was.." The chimera said and growled. "Before I knew it, I had threw a knife right trough his body.. He looked me in the eyes.. Saying his last words.. "Its true.. There.. is a real Phantom of the Opera" And ended him afterwards.. Since then I knew I had shocked people with my action.. But I did not even felt wrong about it. I felt powerful... Strong" The chimera said, looking up to Andrew who kept being silent. "After that, I knew which path I had chosen.. A path my family created when I was young. People had heard about me afterwards, but as soon as they wanted to say it to others, I ended them immediately. I didn't want them to think I was a person.. I wanted to be a name.. A name people should frighten. A name that should not be told.. A name that people gave nightmares the moment they thought about it.. A real Phantom.." The female said, looking more than just strong, watching the floor for some seconds. "I had never thought to really show myself, I had gotten dark cloths of the Theatre and wrapped myself into it.. Being able to hide in the shadows.. Having the power of doing everything, being a leader of the Theatre.. A protector.." The chimera said..

Some people should watch their tongue.. Speaking bad about a sudden creature will chase you till the end. For their regret mostly arrives to late to realize they cannot be saved.

"I need more men! Please give me back up" A voice said through a walky-talky, rushing in a police car as others followed behind. They all stopped at a huge building on fire, caused by a gas leak they said... Men rushed out of their cars, making their way inside. "Mr Harrison?" One police man screamed, no response however.. "You to the left, you come with me" The policeman said and nodded to the others. They split up, trying to find the man that was apparently in this building. Mr Harrison wasn't just a man.. He was someone of the british government, someone who kept an eye on everything. But sadly, he had caused this whole.. explosion and tragedy to himself..

~ 30 Minutes earlier ~

"Alright alright! I will be at the next convention! Do not worry" Mr Harrison said annoyed, eventually walking away from the person he had been talking to. He opened the door of his office and entered after closing the door behind him. "All these stupid idiots! Making themselves worried with something that doesn't even exist" The man said, rolling his eyes and laughing. Slowly making his way to the little kitchen, he made some coffee and eventually took a sip as soon as it was finished, ready to drink. The pretty.. firm man so to say, walking over to his desk and kept laughing. "What a stupidity.. Someone who is called 'the Phantom' creates chaos? Hah, it’s just a myth or a lunatic! Why making me worry about such a thing, i don't believe in ghost stories" The man said and laughed again. He indeed had said bad things about 'the Phantom' and sadly.. The person knew about his conversations he had before including that name. Mr Harrison was truly a very important man for Great Britain, but had gotten himself into some deep trouble.. As he arrived at his desk, he frowned, seeing a little black letter, written on it in white. Slowly putting his coffee down, he grabbed the little letter and read it. ~You should have believed~. "What... Who the hell thinks you can do this to me, Tom Harrison!" Tom said angry, growling as he threw the little paper away. All the sudden he heard just a small footstep behind him, holding distance. The more.. firm man slowly turned around, seeing a person all in black, only the eyes were showing its true color. All the sudden the man swallowed, knowing with who he was dealing with. "That is not possible.. You do not exist" Tom immediately said, swallowing as the person only tilted its head, looking more than frightening. "Please.. I made a mistake.. I take all my words back" The man immediately said, swallowing as the person who looked at him took a deep breath. "You should've believed, and you won't ever learn from your mistakes.. I know, but do not worry, Everything will be just fine" The.. female voice said, making the man frown. "What do you mean?" Tom asked, frowning as he said it with a quavering voice. Out of nothing, the person disappeared.. And just a second later, a huge explosion appeared. The whole street was shaking, hearing a thunder echoing trough the neighbor hood. The man fell down, no heartbeat was there anymore.. Indeed he would not learn from his mistakes, but it didnt matter anymore..

As the fire began to spread itself after the explosion, the female person jumped quickly back into the room seeing the body. She said nothing, only laying down a little letter and a rose on the body itself. Later, she disappeared again, leaving no trace besides of what she just had done..

~ The present ~

"Mr Harrison?" Again a policeman screamed, but to no avail, no voice returned to his. No sound. Every door got slammed open, smoke filling their lungs as they tried to find the man they searched for. "I FOUND HIM!" One policeman eventually screamed, slowly stepping forward to.. The now dead body. The policeman was truly shocked, but later seeing something laying on the man himself he stepped forwards and took it off the man. "Please, Help me to get this body out of this building!" The policeman screamed and saw three men rushing through the entrance of the office, pulling the man up. At last, every policeman with the fire man had left the building, trying to stop the fire while others watched. The man who still had the two things in his hand, looked at first at the red rose.. Slowly opening the letter later, seeing just one single sentence was written in white on a black card. ~Look out with what you say~. The man swallowed, knowing exactly what just happened.. But kept his mouth shut, knowing that he just read something from a serious master brain, a villain.. that you shouldn't mess with.

"The head leader of the secret service of Great Britain, has been found in the building where a sudden gas leak had taken place. A huge explosion that caused the building to collapse, leaving no evidence on how this could have happened in these last minutes. Partners of the man called Tom Harrison, had said they only had seen leaving in his office, later hearing his life had ended there.." The news reporter said, standing in front of the building that was now only rumble, smoke coming off as a sign that the fire has been extinguished. "I cant believe it. I had seen the man just minutes ago.. He said he would meet me at the last convention, later on went into his office and.." One of the partners of Tom said in front of an interview, eventually being too shocked to actually talk on further. "We will come back after the commercials" The woman said and stopped the broadcast.
