"Ahaha, my my you are quite disobedient but at least you got him here to sate my hunger." she snickered staring at Urd's and Ky's neck.

"Ky."

"My Lord?"

"Proceed with the plan. Destroy the sect and leave her to me."

"Yes my lord..." he hesitantly jumped away.

"Aww you are soo cute right now and I guess lucky~" she slowly stepped closer.

"Am I?" he didn't move.

"Ah yes since I like you soo much I will not suck everything out~" she licked her lips.

"Mister please run away that is not the normal Master!" the small being jumped off but he didn't leave.

"As if I would run now." he finally stepped closer earning a smirk from her.

"Please! Rose-sama wouldn't want you to...!" the cat froze as it disappeared

"Cancel Summoning!" she finished the chant.

"You..."

"Now there is only you and me~ and I am sooo hungry!" he took a fighting stance "Oh so you want to fight? Aha then at least get serious! Fight me with killing intent!!" she opened arms "Come on, pierce my heart!"

"Rose..." Urd knew that madness in her eyes too well. The first time he saw it was in his sire's then in his brother's orbs later he would see it in the mirror.

The madness that comes with immortality. The wish to die, the wish to end it all.  

Without a word, he stabbed through her heart getting a confused glance as she slowly sank to the ground "You're... really fast... didn't expect that... haha... this sword..." she looked down as she noticed the ancient symbols on the hilt "Egypt? Well played..." she grabbed his chest "Is this..." Rose slowly getting weaker "A sealing spell... how did... get... ?" her hair slowly returned to black.

"I wouldn't come unprepared. After I first saw you weren't a human nor vampire I had to be ready for anything."

"I guess I need to sleep a little longer then... well see you soon..." her conscious finally faded while her body drenched in blood.

Urd sighed heavily. He expected her to revive the second her heart was crushed but fortunately, she didn't.

-

"What has happened?" Rose woke up in a red space. 

"bLoOd" 

"Hn?" she finally realized where this place was. "You what happened? The chains?" her glance shot to her own body "They disappeared...? Answer me! What has happened? Where are you...!" she froze when she noticed that the place where her shadow usually remained was covered in a mass of restrainments. All were soaked in blood. "Is that a sealing spell?" 

"LET ME OUT" her shadow cried out.

"...!" Rose froze in shock as she finally saw her other-self. 

"Please... I don't want to be caged for another thousand years again... please... I..." a tear, something Rose never saw on the others before, rolled down her cheek. "Please... PLEASE!" 

- 

"Aah!" she shot up in a familiar bed. She wasn't alone, Ky immediately wanted to ask something but his words were blurred out by a painful headache that occurred without warning. The visions of her other self returned to her making it her own memories. It seemed that her appearance has changed temporarily in-between since Ky immediately stepped out of the room to probably inform Urd.

"What is happening?!" she gasped, feeling not only the memories but for the first time in her life the emotions that her other self felt reconnected with her body. "Impossible"

"The heart is a complicated thing."
