I've found another. A perfect one this time. She will not disobey me; she will not die the first time I order her to do something. 

We must find a perfect victim to steal and control and eventually, I will break them. But we have to find her first. I have some ideas, previous victims that unfortunately, are still alive. There are others, but the oldest are simply the best. I think I know the perfect child. 

I have a loose control on all of my previous thieves. You may know one of them, the precious Lady Jess. She tried to defy me and for some time, she succeeded. But now I am here and I am stronger. She cannot defy me now. 

I can choose to control her anytime I choose. I choose now.

"Master?" Her absent eyes gazed into mine, so beautiful with my control over her every feeling that she has. If she remembers what she has become, she will giggle like a small insane child. I hope she remembers often. The insane giggling scares them most. 

"Yes?"

"Have you chosen our victim?" She smiled at me, but I could feel her soul slowly tearing inside. This is much worse then when I first controlled her. But that's my intention. I want to break her as well as my victim. My aim is to have her on my side, and never going back to that butler of a demon and her shinigami cousin. 

"I have, her name is Abigail." Abigail, the child of Time and his partner. She is strong when she uses her full potential, but fortunately, that rarely happens. She was initially married to Near, but complicated things happened and as Near is now married to Mello, she has in turn married Matt. They are both weak and will not be able to protect each other. "Abigail...huh? Have you tasted her before?"

"Yes. I have had the opportunity to taste her beautiful soul and like you, it is strong and divine." 

"My soul is strong, Master?"

"Of course it is; you were born to be my slave."

"They told me, at the academy, where he found me." 

"Well, they told you that you would be a demon thief, but to be honest, that is the same thing. Strictly speaking, anyone who is told they would be a demon thief are special demons who are chosen at birth by me to join me at my side. You are my second in command, when you don't defy me." To many times, I have let her go, let her live, let her love that demon butler. But he just gets in the way, takes her away from me and I need her, in order for this to succeed. 

Then I heard the music of her screams. She fell to the ground, clutching her neck, screaming his name. She was defying me again. Leaving my side. She wonders why I can never give her too much responsibility. Every time we get too close to being perfect, she recreates that time. When he destroyed her. I know it haunts her still. When she's away with me, and sleeping next to me she always has the same nightmare. Of the night she murdered by her love. 

And oh how I wish I could use it, but nothing springs to mind that has not yet happened before. She has died so many times, but because of me, she will always come back. Until the day I die. 

Like that would happen.I've found another. A perfect one this time. She will not disobey me; she will not die the first time I order her to do something. 

We must find a perfect victim to steal and control and eventually, I will break them. But we have to find her first. I have some ideas, previous victims that unfortunately, are still alive. There are others, but the oldest are simply the best. I think I know the perfect child.
