"I love you Amanda!" Zack yells as he throws Amanda out of Asadeath's arms, taking the sword to the neck. Asadeath looked down to see, she had killed her sister's child.
"No...Zack, no!" Asadeath started to cry, as she threw her sword to the side, holding onto Zack's, half decapitated life-less body. Black shadow figures surrounded the two of them, chanting, 'It's Time'
Amanda stood, trying to take in all the information, and before she could think of anything to do, she was stabbed. In the shoulder. She turned around to see who attacked her. Rose. "Why? We could have lived happily ever after..I can't forgive you for this." Amanda went emotionless as she pulled the knife from out of her arm, and threw it at Rose, landing in her side. Rose doubled over, and fell to the ground, whimpering. "We could have had it ALL BUT YOU WENT CRAZY ON ME. NOW IT'S TIME I GO CRAZY ON YOU!" Amanda yelled as she pulled the knife out quickly and held the knife to Rose's neck.
Just as she was about to slice her neck, Katarina pulls her back. "Snap out of it, crazy woman!" Katarina yelled, holding onto Amanda until she calmed down. Mark went to grab Asadeath, but as he touched her, she turned to Ashes alongside Zack. Amanda looked over in just enough time to see the ashes being blown away, as the black figures disappear. Katarina lets go of Amanda, as she walks towards where they just were. Rose gets up and starts to run, only to be stopped by Mark.
"Where do you think you're going, Missy?" Mark's voice boomed.
Rose squirmed and tried to get away, but Mark only tightened his grip on her. "Let me go, I want a normal life dammit!" Rose yelled, right before she bit Mark's arm, taking that chance, when he lifted his arm to try and aid to it, she took off running. Amanda looked over her shoulder and saw, ignoring it all.
"She was just a fake friend. She only used me. For when she needed my help. I see it so clearly. Zack gave me certain memories before his last breath. That's his ability that no one knew. He saw it as pointless, and that's another reason why he was so determined to be at use. His ability was 'no good' to him. Rose opened up to him, while I was gone. The things she said, were all too real to be fake. His feelings, were true. There's a note hidden, under a bag, by a tree, around here. Someone, hurry and find it. I cannot move, otherwise, I'll lose track of his memories that he gave me. " Amanda said as she continued to watch and listen to his memories. Mark took off running in a random direction looking for it.
 Five minutes in, he spots a brown messenger bag, he lifts it up, to spot a letter in fancy writing with the name "Amanda Gallo". Mark took off running. Handing the note to Amanda. She looks down at it, and begins reading.
'My dearest Amanda, if you are reading this, then Asadeath has failed. She wants you dead. She saw you as a target, since day one, due to your abilities. I'm not going to lie and say love at first sight, but over time, when I started paying attention to you, I found, reasons to love you. How cheerful you can be, how immature and playful, and how when you need to be, mature. I'll really miss you, Amanda. Thanks to Mark, for watching out for you, when I couldn't, and once again, I'm sorry to bring you into anything of this, and have this happen, at all. We will cross paths again, one day. Just wait for me. Please, never forget me. For even if I'm 'dead' I can not forget you. Whenever you see Rose, make sure to tell her, her past will meet up with her. Avoid killing her, for the time being. I want one last battle with you. It may not be in this life, but maybe the next. Good-bye, Amanda Gallo' she had tears in her eyes, waiting for the right push, to fall.
Mark put one arm around Amanda. "You okay?" Amanda only nodded, trying to hold back on crying.
"Let's just get out of here." Katarina spoke, grabbing both Mark and Amanda, walking off into the trees.
"I'll miss Zack...Rose...I'll be back for you.." Amanda spoke low to herself, hoping no one else heard her.
