Bloody knew  that above all else, she would never forgive herself.

She had finally found people she cared for, and she had hurt them.

Their dreams of restoring their own realms gone as she managed to yet again kill her friends.

Even if they found new members, the power they were building up to as the supposed chosen ones was gone.

Bloody felt her body being lifted,and warm hands sliding in around her shoulders, her hair being slicked back.

Bloody opened her eyes, only to find Light sobbing into her hair.

"Light.... I'm so sorry" Was all Bloody could manage before letting her tired eyes drop.

"Its okay, its going to get better..."Light mumbled through her thick sobs.


~Lights P.O.V~

Everyone was in pain, and though the wounds were healed, the pain left behind in their hearts was heavy.

It had been 2 weeks since it all happened, and Light couldn't believe they were still alive.

She looked around the campfire, and saw Melody give a small smile as she looked at her and Elijia.

Elijia wouldn't let Light out of his sight, and had managed to keep up with her even as she ran around trying to heal them all the first night.

The next day Light couldn't even move, her energy low,  her body weak.

But Elijia had  stood around making sure she ate, and she  was content with having him around.

"Hey Light, when will Bloody wake up..?"A quiet voice asked.

Light turned and saw Sario, the girl who appeared and saved them all.

She was standing besides the a tall jungle tree, her eyes baggy, her skin gray. 

Her hair was unkempt and her smile gone.

"I don't know, her wounds have healed, but my energy couldn't go deep enough into her mind to make her come back."Light said, her voice strained and tired.

Sario nodded, and soon went off to Bloody's tent.

They all had turns watching her, and Sario took the night shift.

Light sighed, letting herself be hugged by Elijia as she looked up at everyone.

Caos was laying down watching the small fire, his eyes clouded over as he was entranced by the flames.

Claw sat perfectly still, her own eyes tired, her ears had been torn off, and Light only managed to heal them, not repair them, so it was hidden under a hair band.

Melody sat next to Elijia, and smiled warmly at them all, the only visible wound on her was the scar now running under her left eye. She would still smile, but Light noticed that the smiles never reached her eyes, that were once warm and bright, but now seemed dull and upset all the time.

Avalon sat besides Caos, her eyes unfocused.

The day it all went down  Reed hadn't woken up. His heart stopped beating, and if it hadn't been for Light, he would have died.

 Instead he was resting next to Bloody, his heart weak, Light kept him alive.

Light knew thing would be hard, and as she looked at Terian, his eyes alive with determination, she knew it would work out.

Light let tears drip onto Elijia's arms as she thought of Firerage, her body had been incinerated.

"Guys... I know i haven't really been around to care for the group... times are getting hard, and we need to decide what to do next."Claw suddenly said, her voice low.

Light nodded and stood, letting her arms drop to her sides before going to Bloody's tent.

As she walked across the dark clearing, she sighed, letting a sob escape her as she leaned against a tree. Bloody didn't deserve this. Reed didn't either. Firerage was supposed to be here, next to her, saying it would be alright.

Flashes of memories flooded her mind. Before it had been just them, Claw Light, Caos and their kid, Firerage.

Sh remembered the day they met, Caos having dragged her around for a bit before throwing her at Light.

That had been 3 years ago.. So much had happened since then...

She sobbed louder as she remembered her laugh, and her pout....

"Dear Gods, what has happened to us..."Light cried out, covering her mouth when she saw Bloody's tent flap flutter.

Light managed to singe away any tears, and tried to force a small smile onto her lips.

Sario walked out, her eyes puffy and tears streaks were on her cheeks.

"Let me sit in tonight, i'll be fine..."Light murmured as she walked towards Sario and gave have her a small side hug

Sario nodded and left quickly, and Light felt Terian near by watching.

For the next hour Light sat next to Bloody, her arms wrapped around her shoulders as she sat behind her.

Bloody was alive, but seemed to be trapped inside herself.

Light was drifting off to sleep when she felt her best friend move slightly.

Light quickly woke up, and called for everyone her voice high.

Everyone soon came running and the tent filled up. 

Sario pushed forward, and slipped between Elijia and Caos.

"Bloody, can you hear me?"Light said quietly after settling down again, her eyes full of tears.

Bloody mumbled to herself mostly, no one understood...

"Melody enhance her voice please..."Sario quietly asked.

Melody nodded and put a palm up towards Bloody.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean .... I let her take over. My little demon..."Was all Bloody managed to say before she let her body go limp.
