Nancy's Karma (Patreon)

It was a calm night in the misfit manor as Megan was going around checking on everyone before bed. As she approached Trisha's room, she could hear the neko tossing and turning in her bed and groaning and whimpering as she was having a nightmare. Megan snuck in and extracted the nightmare from Trisha's mind. Examining it, Megan saw that it was about Trisha's aunt Nancy again. While these nightmares were normal for Trisha due to how long Nancy had tortured Trisha, Megan had decided she'd had enough of this. Something had to be done. Megan absorbed the nightmare's energy and went to her and Venus' room and made her decision. While Venus slept, Megan opened her equipment vault from back when she was an assassin. She grabbed her goggles, a knife, a sniper rifle, and some ammo before getting suited up and taking off.

Megan flew to Nancy's neighborhood and set herself up on a rooftop across the street from her apartment. Looking through the sniper scope, she could see Nancy having a midnight snack in the kitchen. "Enjoy that string cheese, bitch," Megan whispered to herself. "It's the last you'll have." The moment Nancy finished her snack, Megan shot a muscle relaxer dart in each limb and watched the woman fall to the floor. Megan disassembled and put away the gun before making her way to the apartment. She picked the lock on the door and walked in, approaching Trisha's long time tormentor.

"You don't know me," Megan said with an angered tone, "but I've heard a lot about you." Nancy just glared at Megan as she tried to move to no avail. "Tell me," Megan continued, "does the name 'Trisha' ring any bells?" Nancy's face became even more frustrated as she responded, "Yeah... She got in my way for years." Megan punched Nancy in the face. "She lives with me now and has nightmares about you almost every night," Megan said before stomping Nancy's left knee. "She's still alive?" Nancy asked through painful gritted teeth. "Alive and well no thanks to you," Megan answered. "And if what she's told me is true," Megan said, "she's not your only victim." Megan elbow slammed Nancy in the stomach. "Normally," Megan resumed, "I'd wait for the justice system to handle you, but it seems everyone's either on your side or afraid of what you'll do if you found out they snitched on you." Megan delivered a boot to the head. "I, on the other hand," Megan said with a smile, "am not afraid of you." Megan grabbed Nancy by the neck and propped her up against the wall as she grabbed her knife with the other hand. Using her succubus shape-shifting abilities, Megan morphed her face to look like Trisha's. "I want Trisha's face to be the last thing you see, you heartless wretch." With those final words, Megan thrust her knife into Nancy's abdomen and twisted it before dragging it upward to her ribs. She took it out and watched Nancy squirm and relished her screaming in pain before slitting Nancy's throat and dropping her lifeless body to the floor and leaving.

The next thing Nancy knew, she was waking up in a dark void. A vast expanse of dark nothing as far as the eye could see. The ground beneath her felt like mere smoke to her hand, but was somehow solid enough to walk on. Before long, she saw an opening with a light coming from it. Though she didn't take any steps, she was somehow moving toward it. She tried to call for help, but no sound came from her mouth. Just like how she could do nothing to stop Megan from ending her life, Nancy could do nothing to stop this portal from taking her soul. Blinded by the light, she passed out as she was transported to a destination she wouldn't be informed of.

Waking up, she saw that she was now the size of a micro and locked in a metal box with others. All the micros in the box, Nancy included, had a strange smoke coming off of their bodies as if their entire being was made of it. "Hey!" Nancy called out, "What the fuck is going on? Where are we? What's with the smoke on us?" "New here, eh?" another micro replied, "Welcome to what we call pre-Hell. We stay here until we're chosen for punishment. Some of us go to Hell and some of us just get erased entirely." Nancy was filled with anxiety, anger, and depression all at once. Before she could say anything, the box opened. Towering over the spirits was none other then Jenny looking at her new victims. "You!" Jenny said as she pointed at Nancy, "Something about you feels like I should know who you are." Jenny picked up Nancy's ghost and brought her closer to her eyes. "Let's get a look at your file," she said. Jenny snapped her fingers and a full biography of Nancy's life appeared in a puff of smoke. Jenny started reading it in silence. "Nancy Tigressa?" she asked in confusion, "The Nancy Tigressa? Trisha's abuser and the reason she damn near never leaves her room? Oh ho ho, I've been waiting to punish you!" Nancy's biography disappeared in another puff of smoke as Jenny shut the box.

"Let's see," Jenny said with a smile, "I could make you my slave, I could abuse you the way you abused Trisha, I could impale you by day and let you regenerate by night so we could do it again for eternity... Oh, the possibilities!" Jenny's joy at the idea of torturing Nancy made Nancy feel terrified. "Why don't we make a deal and you could let me go to Heaven?" Nancy asked. "Really?" Jenny snapped back with a look of sarcastic disbelief, "And what, pray tell, do you think you can do that would be worth passing up the opportunity to torture the bitch who is the main reason one of my housemates is scared to leave the comfort of her bedroom?" "What if I found a way to give you your life back?" Nancy offered. "I know some cultists who could probably raise you back from the dead and you would be able to do whatever you want!" Jenny began laughing. "Ha! You really think I want my old life back?" Jenny asked, "You think I don't enjoy bringing pain to horrible people who deserve it? You think I wanna go back to the parents who killed me just because I didn't wanna be the world's most boring queen of the world's dumbest kingdom? No! I like this job and I think I know exactly what to do with you!"

Jenny started reciting an incantation. In a flash of light, a circular flat stone appeared in her hand. As she continued chanting, runes began appearing on the stone and Nancy was sucked in. To Nancy's view, she was back in the void. This time, however, it was red and she could hear Jenny's laughter in the distance and it was getting closer. A more twisted and terrifying copy of Jenny was making her way closer. It had longer horns engulfed in flame. When it opened its mouth, Nancy could see three rows of razor sharp teeth like a shark. Its hair looked like a black flame. It had red armor scales along its arms leading to its claws. Nancy did her best to run away from it and tripped. Getting up, Nancy realized she wasn't an intangible spirit in this realm, but had physical flesh and could feel pain. Nancy ran as fast as she could, but still ended up getting snatched up by the beast's teeth and was sliced in half by them before being spat out as the beast flew away. As Nancy screamed in pain, her body pieces came back together. The process of her body regenerating its flesh to rejoin its halves was even more painful than getting bitten in half. Looking up, she saw the beast circling above and splitting into two. Nancy got up and started running as the two beasts started flying back toward her letting out a demonic laugh. Nancy's torture at the hands of these creatures continued through the night while Jenny wrote down all of Nancy's misdeeds on a piece of paper.

In the morning, Jenny made her way to Megan and Venus' room with the stone, the list, and a note all in a wrapped box with a label saying it was a gift from her for Trisha. "Jenny?" Venus asked, "Why are you in our room? Shouldn't you be making breakfast or punishing people?" "Oh I'm punishing someone alright," Jenny replied coyly, "but I'm gonna need some help with this one. Trisha still doesn't like me just appearing in her room, so I need you to deliver this box to her. I'm sure she'll know what to do with what's inside." Jenny handed Venus the gift and teleported away. Venus shook the box to make sure it wasn't dangerous and took it to Trisha's room. Knocking on the door got no answer, so Venus simply snuck in and left the present on Trisha's desk.

When Trisha woke up, she found the gift from Jenny. Worried it might be a prank or a trap, Trisha opened the box as carefully as possible. The first thing she read was the list of everything Nancy had done. It told her what she already knew about how Nancy abused her and revealed that she abused other micros after getting rid of Trisha, but it all paled in comparison to the final items on the list. After Trisha's parents became rich, Nancy poisoned them at every chance she got until they finally died. When the family fortune was passed down to Trisha, the will said that Trisha wouldn't get it until she was in a relationship. However, if she died before then, the fortune would go to Nancy. Knowing she can't make it too obvious, Nancy tortured Trisha in hopes that she would be driven to suicide if not just die from how Nancy treated her. All the years of abuse were an attempt to kill Trisha for money. Trisha was in tears at first, but was soon filled with rage at the idea that Nancy was still out there, now torturing micros just for fun. Now filled with curiosity, Trisha read the other note and picked up the stone. The note was a set of instructions on how to use the stone to summon Nancy's spirit as a helpless micro unable to harm anyone. While the stone can heal itself, any damage it takes will also hurt Nancy.

After some thought, Trisha rubbed the stone in a circular motion starting int the center and working her way to the outer edge. In a flash, Nancy appeared in Trisha's hand. "Took you long enough to get me out of there!" Nancy yelled as she recognized her niece. "Now tell that ghost slut to set me free!" Trisha shot a death glare at Nancy and slammed her against the wall. Trisha heard Nancy's bones crack from the impact. In seconds, Nancy's bones had broken and then healed by themselves and she felt every bit of it, but couldn't even scream as her voice was muffled by Trisha's hand. Unlike other micros, Nancy couldn't flatten, but being crushed couldn't kill her either since she was already dead. "You killed my moms," Trisha said with anger in her voice, "You tried to kill me," Trisha continued as she slammed Nancy against the wall again, "You killed all those innocent micros," Trisha said with another slam, "And now you're mine!" Trisha threw Nancy to the ground; watching Nancy collapse completely from the fall and reform. "What are you gonna do? Kill me?" Nancy asked, "I can't die again, dumbass!" Trisha duct taped Nancy to the floor and put on her boots. "I may not be able to kill you," Trisha replied, "but I can make your afterlife worse than you made my life!" Trisha stomped on Nancy as hard as she could and heard her bones crunch under her boot. Applying as much pressure as she could, Trisha slid her boot to the side and watched as Nancy regenerated from a blood stain. Nancy was screaming in pain for the entire process. "I think that's enough for now," Trisha said as she picked up Nancy's stone. She rubbed it in a spiral again and Nancy was sent back to her red void. Much to her dismay, her demonic hunters were waiting for her.

This was all the world had for Nancy from then on. Whenever she wasn't being chased and torn apart by demons, she would receive karmic justice from her own flesh and blood niece. Just as she had never shown mercy to those around her in life, no one would show her mercy in the afterlife.
