Hey guyz! What's up, Abi-chan here! And today, I have no idea what you might think of this chapter. But I guess let's see what happens!

You, yourself was wandering in a deserted wheat field with fogs all over the place. You examined the place, wondering of why you were here.

"What is this place?"

A gust of wind russled your hair over your eyes as you saw your parents and aunt, standing there erect. Your eyes widen and ran into them, "mom! Dad! Aunt!"

The extent between your family and you were just a few blocks away, but they smiled kindly and their bodies were misted by the thick fog before they died in different brutal deaths. Your mother was torn in asunder, your father was hopelessly shattered into pieces and your aunt brutally was shot in the head by a bullet.

You screamed and fell on your knees as you watched them fall on the ground, you cried helplessly. The wheat burned into ashes, turning into dried soil with ashes dredged on it.

"Hey, kid. Kid.." you looked up to see a pair of sharp red eyes and sharp-pointed hands above the sky. The sky ripped as it grinned, the people you care about; Shirota, Kuro and the others died as well.

Within a blink, you jolted up and screamed in fear. Both hands clamped on your shoulder and shook your rapidly, "(y/n)! Calm down."

Your eyes trailed to a pair of crimson red eyes, you saw Kuro and calmed down. "A-Ash.. you're alive!" You jumped and embraced him in your arms, you carressed his soft light blue hair. "Don't ever leave me again,"

Kuro blinked, "okay, I have no idea what happened right after you aroused like that. But I'll just keep my mouth shut."

You spanked him in the head right after instantly pulling away, "you oaf! Aren't you saying that a bit too non-chalantly?!"

"(Y/n)-san.. you're so mean." He turned away, scraping his bonked injury. "What a pain.."

"Don't 'what a pain' me! I know exactly what that means! You're scared!"

"Huuh? Scared?" Kuro scoffed, "did you bonk yourself in the wall or something? If you did, then you're starting to sound like Mahiru.."

Someone else harshly bonked Kuro's head to your head, but actually that unintentionally caused you two to smack into each other's lips. You wrapped your arms around his neck as  he held your waist and leaned closer.

Mahiru gaped as he turned pale, Rose who sat idly and had a dull face plastered on her. "This is why I wanted seperated rooms, this is so disgusting."

"Really?" Lilly giggled, resting his chin on his heel. "I actually think it's sweet."

"I told you not to bonk their heads together, Eve of Sloth." Rose mumbled as she looked away from you two.

"Don't look," Tetsu covered Misono's eyes who gaped and blinked as he saw you and Kuro.

Licht stood there, turning pale. "I have..never seen something so unangelistic."

Hyde even rubbed his eyes and blinked twice, "Big Brother had his first kiss first than me?!"

You two pulled away, covering your face with a pillow as you blushed. Rose sighed, "teenagers.."

"If Envy was here, he'd usually shoot you immediately!" Hugh exclaimed, "but I would've bonked your heads first!"

"All who promises never to bonk heads to one another say 'I'.." Mahiru started, raising his hand.

Everyone in the room (excluding you and Sloth) raised their hands, "I."

You sulked in disappointment, "guys, it was just one kiss. It's not really our first time doing that to one another."

"Huuh?! You mean Kuro already sexually harrassed you?!"

"It's not sexual harrassment, Shirota!!"

Afterwards, you all calmed down and laid on the wooden floor. Rose sighed as she rested her back against the pillar, "this is so annoying.. you guys are going again?"

"Yeah, Angel-chan has to enact another concert again!" Hyde exclaimed.

"Aren't you ever getting tired of hearing every song he performs? So troublesome.." Kuro yawned in his human form as he rested his arms and chin on your lap.

"Ash, don't rest on my lap!" You ragged, but Kuro groaned and ignored you.

"No, no.. Licht-tan's music actually calms me down, I have to forget of what I've seen around Brother Hate and the scene awhile ago.." Hyde sulked as he turned pale.

"No one's talking about that now! Why're you starting it up again?!" You had an irk hand on your head.

"Gosh, you sound like Wrath.." Rose looked away from you, sighing.

"Th-The Mother.." Lilly sulked and turned away, covering his whole face. "Please stop digging up the old trauma!"

"Well, see ya!" Hyde went away with Licht as Pride came in as a bat.

He landed his tiny legs down as he reverted back to normal, he held his stone cane and said. "Greetings, it is I. Old Child The Forgotten One Good Old Days of Pride!"

"Just say what you have to say," Rose drank a soda then grimaced in disgust, "sodium carbonate.. I hate it." She burned the can into ashes, "there's no way I'll ever drink or eat anything. I feel sick,"

Hugh rolled his eyes and proclaimed, "I just got information from one of my subclasses. They detect signs of a virtue Servamp on the loose! And that virtue has quite the Jinns."

"Finally!" Misono aroused and jolted up from bed which shocked Lilly. "I was too bored to sleep again right after what I saw earlier!"

"M-Misono?! You were awake this whole time?!"

"So anyways, a Servamp who has larger amount of Jinns than the normal ones Servamps have?" Mahiru asked. "How is that possible? I thought all Servamps have the same Jinns."

You tilted your head in confusion, "uhm, sorry if this is a stupid question but.. what's a Jinn?"

"Djinn or Jinn are the insides of a Servamp and subclass. From what you've heard in the movies of vampires burning in the sun and turning in to dust is in fact a lie." Rose replied, "they turn into Jinns. And once a Servamp's item is broken, they explode to those things."

"Per se, it sorta looks like snow." Lilly added, "once those Jinns gather themselves enough, they're going to re-attach themselves in humans who feel moody and possess them, feeding them to vampires around the corner."

"Oh.." you bitted your lip as you carressed Kuro's hair, "what's wrong with have too much Jinns anyway?"

"That is what I am not aware of," Hugh remarked. "If I am not mistaken, if a Servamp has too much Jinns. It is either that Servamp is powerful or broken."

"So this Servamp is powerful, dangerous and broken." Mahiru added.

Misono sighed, "that's one of the worst ones."

"Not only is he the worst, the Servamp doesn't have an Eve." Hugh said.

You sulked, "oh no.. is this like that Tsubaki guy?"

"Probably," Rose shrugged.

"Lilly, set the map." Misono implied, standing up from the sleeping matress.

Lilly sighed and smiled, "well, I have no choice but to go all out."

He leviated above the ground and blowed out pink mists, you blinked. "What?" The mist sprawled across the table and formed a map.

"Perfect," Misono examined the map, still in his purple jam jams (jam jams? Is that even a word? 😖) "Lilly's illusions are the best. Hey, you bastard Pride. Did your subclasses tell you where the enemy is now?"

Hugh crawled up to the table and pointed to a location, "yes. They said he was..here,"

Shirota and you had shocked faces, "our..school?"

You blinked, "this is impossible! We were there yesterday! We didn't see anyone suspicious!"

"Everyone there seemed normal." Mahiru added, "although, we have to be aware that virtues and subclasses can blend in with normal humans."

"That is true.. Watanuki Sakuya did the same thing," Misono said, prompting Mahiru's eyes to fall in a sad manner. The young Alicein noticed but pretended he didn't see that, he cleared his throat. "Since later on, you two will be going to school. I'd like you to watch an eye out."

"One might be in your class though." Tetsu added.

You sighed and noticed Rose, looking depressed as usual. So what she meant by "this is so annoying", she was expressing her depressed state? I thought it wasn't really depressed.

You looked deeply in her eyes, even though she wasn't looking at you but the floor. Judging by her face and eyes, it seemed like she's feeling negative emotions. Not like Sloth here, he's just lazy since the regret problem was already fixed.

"Rose-chan.. where are your subclasses now anyway?" This made everyone to turn to you two.

Rose turned to you with dull eyes, she then sighed before pointing to a body mirror adjacent to you. How come you didn't noticed that? Rose sighed once more, "there. Through the looking glass. My subclasses reside in an abandoned mansion from another dimension," the mirror changed its shape from your reflection into a dark and scary-looking mansion. "Humans or Eves can't come in, only Servamps can. But as long as the Eve has the permission to come in from the Servamp, you can." She explained, folding her arms. "Right now, my subclasses are way out of hand. When they're not in my control of authority and self-esteem, they can get wild and do whatever they want. Even kill. I suggest you forget about my subclasses,"

You were determind to know, you worry about her subclasses. "Rose-chan, I want to enter."

"Sure.." Rose lifted you above ground by raising her hand, prompting you to shriek. Mahiru and Kuro were bounding to stand up 'till Rose shoved you in the mirror by a flick of her hand with her telekinesis.

"(Y/n)!" Kuro stood up.

"(Y/n)-san!" Mahiru did as well and he turned to Rose, "why did you do that?"

"She said that she wanted to enter. I have to obey every order my master decides."

"What a pain. I'm going in!" Kuro jumped through the body mirror, getting swallowed by its mercury.

While Rose and Mahiru were busy arguing, "even so! A Servamp can decline an Eve's offer even if they really wanted to!"

Rose sighed, "you're so annoying." She said before shoving herself in.

"Gah, Rose-chan! We're not done yet!" Mahiru runned to the mirror. As the Servamp of Demise stated, he can't get in without her permission. "Damn this mirror! I want to go in now!" He jagged his fists onto the mirror, it didn't broke. It never breaks, it was indestructable. Although, the mercury was vibrating and flowing like a water's wavelength.

"It is hopeless. You cannot go in." Hugh said, eating an ohagi. "If Demise does not want you to interfere, then you should just tolerate what has been decided."

"And besides, the looking glass is like the Servamp of Demise's interior." Misono added, folding his arms.

Inside the looking glass, where the dark mansion still remains. "Ne.. Mitsuke-san, can I see your card?" The mister of the house yawned as he held out a set of cards.

"Now, now. Keima-san, it's against the rules." The maid, Mitsuke smirked deviously smiled on her face but then threw her cards down anyway, "just kidding! You know I don't follow rules! I have the Frankenstein that can’t be ignored.

The mister, Keima shrugged and dropped the cards on the table. "Maybe a vampire out lookin’ for blood? ," he drank a goblet of blood as he licked his bottom lip.

"Eh, No wait, maybe it’s a werewolf with fangs to bare? An orange-haired doll; boy who looks like one, not literally said, dropping his cards carelessly. He sighed, "still not the same without Austie.."

"I'll gather them up then, (he meant the cards)." The bulter said, scooping up the set of cards. "We shouldn't place them down so carelessly, guys. We might spawn one."

"Reeelax! You do know that Lepido-sama's the only who can summon these creatures of the cards?" Mitsuke grinned.

"I don't know about this, guys." The mistress, a light pink haired woman said.

"Yo, you jar-head! You sure it's alright to play with these since he's not around?" The male doll asked.

"Shuun-san, Lepido-sama's out in the human world." Keima cracked his knuckles as he placed a set of cards on the desk, "he won't get mad as long as he doesn't see us tolling around with his stuff."

"This is still not right," the mistress added.

Keima rolled his eyes, "Aure-san, even though I'm your husband, I have to tell you these harsh words. I love you, so shut up. We're allowed to behave whatever we want as long as Ojou-sama (Rose) is not around."

"Hey, how about we play a game instead?" Mitsuke grinned as it prompted the five subclasses to quirk an eyebrow. "Yeah, you know! Something more than a game of cards? How about..a story game?"

"Eh, I'll start then.." the female doll smirked, "remember the days of long ago.."

"The beginning of our tragic tale," the male doll finished.

"In a storm, that letter was brought our way.. but alas, who was it that was betrayed?" Keima, the mister chuckled.

The butler, who yawned. "You'll grasped the 'truth' within your hands, locked away in coffins as the closing plan."

"To one and to all, it is our delight to perform our finale night," the mister said, sipping his glass of blood (looks like red wine).

And the mistress said, "under the moonlight of a blood red moon, a pretty stormy omen’s coming up soon."

"On this fateful night, on this fateful night.." the maid said, "a strange affair will surely come to light."

"Maybe a vampire out lookin’ for blood?" The mister sticked his tounge out playfully.

"No wait, maybe it’s a werewolf with fangs to bare?" The male doll said, playing with his fingers.

"Frankenstein can’t be ignored--" the maid was cutted off by a knock on the door.

Bulter yawned once more, "or maybe a guest at the door.."

"Oh how to make things fun!" The mistress exclaimed as her husband stood up and walked up to the door.

"Oh how to make things fun?" The female doll clasped on her brother's hand.

The female doll then repeated, "oh. How. To make things fun."

"So bored that I could die." The maid rolled her eyes.

Bulter lazily then finished, "and with a knock, there was a stranger to see.."

"But at this time what could they possibly need, huh?" The mister opened the tall doors slowly and looked down to see you, he smiled kindly. "Oh my, my. My lady, what are you doing here at the middle of the night?"

"The woods at night are filled with all kinds of fears.." the mistress sat up and walked up to escort you, "come on in, and make yourself feel at home, dear!"

You knew something was up, but you kept yourself quiet and stared at the mistress with open eyes. You then goggled, "uhm, uhh.. Ojou-sama--"

"Oh no, no, no, no.. don't call me that, dear!" The mistress smiled kindly as she turned to you, "us subclass call Master Demise that, please call me.. Aure, the mistress."

"Oh, uhm.. Aure-san, do you..know who I am?"

"Yes, yes I do. Silver Austere's Eve, (l/n) (y/n)-san." The mistress turned and smiled mischeviously which you didn't suspect. She stood by her husband, the mister. "We've heard so much about you from Snow and Lepido. And also Muzu, but she seldom talks."

"I am Keima, the head host and the mister." The mister introduced himself, "we weren't aware of your arrival."

"I'm Saya, the doll girl. And this is my brother, Shuun, the doll boy." The doll girl said, "why are you here? You shouldn't be here.."

"Uhm, I asked Rose-chan to shove me in here. I actually worry about you guys right after that fight with Hate,"

"Aww, stop that!" The maid giggled, "we did all we can, didn't we? There's no need to worry! Vampires can recover in a jippy!"

"Why are you.."

"..being so nice?" The doll girl finished right after her brother's sentence.

"That's not like you at all, Mitsuke-san.." the bulter stated, folding his arms.

"Oh come on! It's an rekindling!"

You giggled as they stopped arguing and stared at you in a shock, "you guys are funny. I've never seen a perfect family,"

"Family..?" The twins tilted their heads.

"We're not family." The mistress drank her tea as she sat idly, "we are the descendants of your Servamp, Demise. Or per se, subclasses."

Your eyes instilled concern, "huh? B-But still, you guys were made as a family. Do you guys have feelings for Rose-chan?"

"Of course we do," the butler mumbled. "As a friend that is, we miss her dearly. Nonetheless, she doesn't have time for us since you're around."

"Even so, you guys can still come out in the human world and hang out with us!" You smiled, "I bet Rose will be definitely happy."

Their eyes turned into dark ones, which made you wonder why. The maid turned away, frowning. "Our master was never happy. She doesn't express her feelings, they manifacture with people's thoughts. You think she's happy, but do you think she really is?"

"B-But Rose-chan--"

The mister cleared his throat and smiled, "(y/n)-san.. enough of that. I'm sure the others wouldn't like it," he then walked up to you closer, prompting you to cower away as his smile was kind but still a bit broken. "What would you like for dinner tonight? I mean, I'm sure you're hungry. You've just woken up for awhile right?" Your back leaned against the wall as his tracks stopped, he was right in front of you. He decurved slowly down to you, "tell me. Why did you think Ojou-sama forbade us from coming to the human world?"

He swerved away as the bulter jumped in with brute force that merely broke the ground. You squeaked in fright but the bulter pounced the wall flanked to your face. He had a dark look on his face, "you're so miserable. You were stupid enough to care about us. Thinking that we're good people just because Austie's self-esteem is very high. But just what do you think about us and what do you care about our safety?"

You trembled in fear while the butler furrowed his brows even more in irritation. "Speak a word, you little mut." He grabbed you by grasping your cheeks and lifting you high, "I don't care who you are or whether if you're Austie's Eve but I'm sick of holding this stinkin' hunger back!"

He launched his jagged teeth to your neck, but you unleashed your Lead and slashed him away. "Who are you people?!" You panted in fear, getting ahold of your breath. "Why are you like this?! Aren't you supposed to be somewhat like Lepido-san and the others?!"

"Muzu's out to hunt for food, Snow's out to visit her previous home and Lepido-sama's out there doing whatever he intends to do!" The maid said, sitting up and spawning a big spoon. "Let's begin the party, child!" She snagged out a hand-full of strawberry seeds and threw them up in the air, the seeds evolved into big strawberries. As the strawberries fell, she thrashed them onto you. In fright, your whip Lead began morphing as it transformed into strings that binded around the strawberries as you threw it back at them.

"Tch, a second Lead?" The butler quirked a brow in an irritated way, "a level two-ler then. Ah.. Eves who take a step after another are just so miserable.."

"Master would be very pleased, seeing us bonding together with you." The mistress smirked, "but sorry, sweetie. We're going to take your blood and drink it! I mean, the master doesn't like any beverages or food, right? It'd be a waste! And besides, your blood was made for her anyways~!"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

"Mitsuke-san. Stray her down,"

"With pleasure!" The maid rushed to you as her weapon changed into a whisk. You gasped and ran out of the room, not to the doors though 'cause that's where the mister is guarding the door.

You ran into a hallway where you saw dusty paintings watching over you. As you walked from room to room, you keep on stumbling into that dusty hallway over and over again as the paintings' eyes were laid on you. You stopped your tracks to eye on one painting's eyes, "what the heck is this?" Afted a blink, one of the doll twins jumped out from it. You were pinned on the wall by the doll boy's foot tromped on the wall adjacent to the side of your face. While the other twin flanked her foot on the wall. Their eyes stared down at you impassively as they remained hanging on the wall in sideways.

"(Y/n)-san, just..where do you think you're going?" The doll boy asked, placing his hands on his back. (He wore a gray tail-coat, same color pants, brown shoes. White gloves and a bloody carnation pinned on his buttonhole).

The doll girl, who wore an elegant, gothic dress then said. "You could've made this easier for yourself, (y/n)."

And that's where you realize they were wearing a portion of a gray mask on each opposite side of one another's faces. "We have eyes everywhere.. you can't escape. It is.." both of them stated simlutaneously. "Impossible," the doll girl finished as you trembled.

"Let me go!" You squirmed as the wall began swallowing you whole and dragging you in as you screamed. Your sight briefly blacked out and realized you were sitting by a fireplace, with your forearms tied on the chair's armrests.

"You know, I'm impressed." The butler said, burning wood. He took off a glove, revealing a finger becoming a machet. "You made it this far. No one can survive the doll twins' traps, but I guess you are quite an Eve yourself." He lunged the knife's blade at you as he honed, "I'm so tired of watching you flee like that. The others and I will never let you go."

You bitten your lip, where's Ash? I want someone here to make me feel better. I don't like this. I'm scared.

The butler's eyes softened, "huuh? You're scared~? That's unusual. An Eve like you shouldn't be afraid of a subclass."

"You can read my thoughts?"

"Vampires who have the ability to fluently manipulate one's memories can read minds."

You wanted to unleash your Lead, but you were all tied up. "Let me go!"

"And why should I listen to a mut like you? I want your blood. Didn't the mistress already told you that?"

"Why do you want to drink my blood? I thought Servamps are the only ones who can drink their Eve's blood!"

"On the contrary, vampires can do anything they want. Haven't you ever thought that there could be a posibility that your lover, Sleepy Ash could like you just because of your sweet blood?" He fumed, although he had a feigning expression of darkness. "Love is a pretense satisfaction for us vamps.. just one subclass we know who lost his life just to sacrifice himself for his first love, and his love one died anyway. Murdered by a vampire named 'Tsubaki'."

Your eyes widen, "Melancholy.."

The bulter then leaned to you, "you're pathetic. You don't know anything at all. Do you usually just butt in into people's lives so you can toll with them?"

"What?"

"You've lost your parents, didn't you? How come you're sure that they died just like that? Are you sure that one person killed them by a chance? What if that person was the same serial killer who killed your aunt?"

Your eyes widen in a shock, suddenly, you lost control. Murder? Why would someone murder my parents? My aunt? Why? What did they do to deserve such a brutal thing? Why is he telling me this? Was he..the one? Just then, you didn't realized strings started to sprawl out of your back, freaking the hell out of the butler. He cowered away from you as the strings approached him, "what the heck is this?" Threads lunged at him and binded him up as you broke free from where you were tied on.

Upon returning back to your conscience, you saw the threads suck back to your posterior. You gasped, "how did I do that?"

The butler then began cutting the threads by his sharp fingers, "you mut! I'll kill you!" He fumed as you stood up and began running away once more. "I'll suck the hell out of you!"

You reached to the hallway again, but it looked different this time. There were no paintings, just statues. "Well~! Well~!" A voice said from behind, you turned to see the maid. She rested her big whisk at her shoulder, "isn't this a surprise~? Huh~? Isn't it~?"

"What do you want from me?! Leave me alone!"

"Huhh? Leave you alone?" The maid playfully tilted her head, feigning an clueless face on her. "Then what about supper?" She approached you, but you ran away. You heard her cackle from afar, but then you bumped into someone.

You felt yourself landing in someone's chest (a male's chest, alright? No one's a hentai here.) You gasped as you saw who it was.

"Huh? (Y/n)-san? Why're you.."

"Lepido-kun! Help me!" You yelped, "they're after me!"

"Who?"

"Ah, Lepido-sama's back so soon~?" The maid stood there, gripping on her large whisk. "Too bad~! Why? Are you gonna protect this girl, just like what you did to her? Are you gonna sacrifice your embodied soul again just for her?!"

"Leave her out of this." Lepido furrowed his brows, "she's Demise-chan's Eve, she concerns for us! She's not like what you think about others!"

"So what? Yeah~ yeah~ she's the master's Eve." The maid snickered, "but does that even matter since we're just after her blood?"

Lepido whipped out his cards from his sleeve, "don't make me do this, Mitsuke-san."

"Go ahead and try! We all know that she'll die just like how your past love did!" You stood there, shocked. So the subclass who sacrificed his life for his love was.. Lepido? "Pathetic!" Lepido gnashed his teeth as he summoned a spiritual dragon. The dragon aimed at the maid, who changed her weapon into a big knife and sliced the dragon's head. "Tch, you need lessons! You're not as powerful as Snow or master!"

"But I am a quick-witted person, am I?"

"Huh?" Roots came out of the carpet as it binded her legs, "dammit!"

Lepido grabbed your wrist and dragged you to a room, "let's go!" You two runned through a long hallway where everything was almost dark 'till one of Lepido's card lightened up to light the way. "What are you doing here anyway? Didn't Demise-chan tell you anything?"

You sheepishky laughed as you twiddled your fingers to one another, "y-yeah. But I was so determind to check on you guys ever since that Hate incident.. sumimasen, Lepido-kun."

Lepido spanked you lightly on the back of the head, "you dope! Even though Demise-chan warned you?!"

"S-Sumimasen! Sumimasen!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Only if you stop pleading!" You did what was told, there was an eternal silence. Although, that silence broke once he stared at you in the strangest way and said. "Well, that was fast." He pulled out a broadsword under his sleeve, you squeaked. How did that fit in there? "There's no time to waste, we have to find a glassed-object that ruminates one's reflection. That object will be your exit out of here."

"What about you?"

"Hah, I'm just a mere puppet than Demise-chan's destructive weapon."

"Okay.. wait, you're not going to attack me, are you?"

"What? Why would I do that? I'm under Demise-chan's control whether if she's not here or not. I don't want to hurt anyone, but I do want to protect the people I care about, even if it means harming somehody. Literally." You two stopped your tracks and found yourselves in a room of taxidermies and high-stocked food on the dinner table.

You heard a cackle as the maid's head appeared in front of your face upside down, you screamed as Lepido stood in front to protect you. The maid grinned insanely, "huuh? What is this? Running in circles tournament? How delightful!"

"You escaped?" Lepido furrowed his brows, holding his rage.

"Of course I did! I mean, a couple of roots are nothing to me!" The maid changed her weapon into a big dinner knife and grinned from ear to ear, "now, who wants to get stabbed~?" She launched at you, raising her knife up. But Lepido blocked the attack, tussling his sword against the maid's knife.

"I won't let you hurt her!"

"Then give me your best shot, lover boy!"

Lepido's sword began breaking, he gasped as it broke into shards. Letting the maid get a chance to stab him in the gut, "Lepido-kun!" He fell on his knees, clutching on his stomach as he cringed in pain.

You planned to run to him, but he choked out blood and spoke in a weak voice. "(Y/n)-san.. go.."

"No! I have to keep you safe--"

"I said go!" His eyes were briefly flashing from red to violet. "Demise..-chan worries about you more, you have to spend lovely times with your love one.. Sleepy Ash loves you dearly, love him back and share memories with him.. before it's too late.."

The worst part was the maid stepping on Lepido's temple, "huuh? Your eyes are going back to the way they were when you were a human.. could it be that you're changing back to one? Or are you just dying?" She grinned and raised her sword, "hmm, well, whatever it is. I have to finish you off!"

Lepido spawned a card that shielded him in an indestructable barrier, he coughed. "There's..no way I'll let that happen. I'm still here to fight. I won't..give up..!" He snagged out a card and threw it at you, "(y/n)-san.. find a way out here.." the card struck you as you were transported.. back at the lobby?

Your eyes widen, "again? B-But how?" You turned your back to see a window, showing your reflection. Just as Lepido said, finding an object that shows one's reflection would be the portal that articulates between the dimension of your world and Demise's subclasses. You reached for your hand, but something binded your feet, prompting you to fall down on the floor forcefully. You were dragged away from the window, you turned your head to see  the mistress, holding a leash.

"Aww, sorry dearest. But there's no way I'm letting you out of here!" Suddenly, the link between the leash and you broke, emitting a snap. "Nani?"

"People like you are the most troublesome!" Sloth pounced in, crashing on the floor.

"Hah? Sleepy Ash of Sloth?" The mistress quirked an eyebrow, "are you here just to laze around, you stray cat?"

"No, I came to pick her up." He helped you get up and tucked you in his arms. Suddenly, you felt safe.

"What took you long enough?" You whispered.

"Long? You pain, I came after you only a few seconds.."

"Huh? But it was like..an hour!"

"Enough, romance, you two." The mistress scoffed, "why believe in such a thing where everyone treats you like garbage? Men say they'll capture your heart, abandon everything and love you 'till the end instead. But I think it's a lie!"

"If you think it's a lie, then doubt yourself." A familiar voice said, black mists filled the room. The tall doors slammed open, a portion of the mists morphed into a person. Rose. She looked angry, her eyes blaring red. "And if I doubt you, then I'll punish you."

"O-Ojou-sama?!"

"Aure, just..what the heck do you think you're doing to my Eve?" She had a dark look plastered on her face, the mistress was trembling in fear. "Why can't you just say that you're not interested with anything and mind your own business? Wouldn't that make your life easier?"

The mistress' weapon dissappeared, "Ojou-sama, I-I--" her voice was cutted off as soon as the mansion's pillars began to crack and dead vines started to bind the pillars and cover up the walls, windows and doors. Each small steps Rose makes creates ripples of black mists that filled the room, she stopped her tracks. Standing erect in the center of the room, the mistress was abruptly smacked to the wall by Rose's telekinesis.

"I hate you. I hate the world. I hate every existence in this world." Rose raised her hand in front as the ceiling lights begun to flicker, "but I hate myself even more. I wish to die. When I once promised myself never to hurt a single soul, I actually meant it. But guess this is an exception then,"

Thorns came out of nowhere and started to bind Aure's foot, then all over the body. Twisting her down as she screamed in pain, your eyes were paltering in mercy. You turned to Rose who seemed merciless, "R-Rose-chan! Stop! It was my fault! She doesn't need a punishment!" Hands clamped on your shoulder, you turned and saw Kuro with lazy eyes as usual. "Ash?"

"This woman wanted to suck the life out of you, and you want to save her?"

"Ash, I can't bear seeing someone in pain!" You whispered back. Thus, Ash sighed in defeat and turned to Rose.

"Yo, Rose. Stop that already. That's enough."

Rose turned and stared at Kuro with a dull impression before sucking all the mists back at her, sucking the vines and roots back to the ground, and the cracks and dents disappeared, returning back to the way the pillars were before. "Such adversity in you, it's so annoying." She spoke in a dull monotone.

The doors slammed open, the mister dashed out and ran up to the mistress. Finding her laying in the floor, weak. He held her in his arms and cupped a cheek, "Aure.." She fluttered open a bit and whispered something that you or the others excluding the mister from afar. You didn't exactly don't know why, it must have been her words or her weak smile, but it made the mister cry and held her tighter.

Rose sighed and turned to you as her eyes softened. "Would you like to go home?"

You turned from the couple to Rose and smiled, "anything's fine with me. As long as it's your decision, Rose-chan!" She stayed silent after hearing what you have said. You could've sworn seeing her ticking her throat in surprise, but nodded in assentment.

Okay, so there'll be some weird sessions in the next chapter. Izzy and I already talked about what we're going to write and I was supposed to be the one writing about the new Servamp's appearance, but as you can see I got carried away in writing this. Way too long.
