Scar had some inexplicable interest in Terra. Not romantic, or anything, but with her powers. Particularly the time she brought the undead back. But it was a couple of years before she did anything about it.
"Terra!" The ethereal Vampiress breezed into our sleeping chamber, where we were preparing to slow our awareness for the night. We were living in a city, in a nice boarding house and had to keep up appearances.
"There's something in your head. I need to get in your head too." Terra jumped up from the bed, to stand in front of Scar with hope and excitement in her eyes.
"You think you can find out what that voice is?" She asked. Scar nodded, then frowned a little.
"I apologise in advance. You need to trust me." She explained. Then she lunged forward almost faster than I could see, and ripped my heart from my chest.

Midnight collapsed and I screamed, as the feeling washed over me and my blood burned in every part of my body.
'Terra. You will overcome this' Whispered that voice, and the accompanying echoing filled my head, driving out any of my own grieving and murderous thoughts.
'There you are' Scar's triumphant voice entered my head, and I felt her wrap her will around the voice in my head. Anger filled me at the raw memory of her killing my mate but Scar's will blew mine out of the water. Now neither force was paying attention to me.
'Who are you?' Asked the echoes, and it seemed like they were squirming in her grip.
'I am the most powerful force in this world. But you are not from it'
'We are from before the time of Vampires, the time of demons and sorcerers'
'Of course. The sorcerers gave their lives to banish the demons to hell' Sorcerers? Demons? What were they talking about? I longed to reach out to Midnight but I couldn't move.
'For nothing. They lived on in Vampires. Vampires bring death and destroy balance, as the demons did'
'So what are you doing in Terra?'
'The girl is our balance. She does good.' I shivered. I may have done good but I'd also done evil.
'Balance must exist in a person as well in the world. With potential to do great good comes the potential to do great evil. You would choose good, so we chose you' Scar pulled out of my head as if she'd heard enough. I need to save Midnight! The Sorcerers could save Midnight like they saved the undead and the boy, couldn't they?
'It has been too long, Terra. Your mate is dead' The echoing that accompanied the voice cut out and left my mind clear. I scrambled over to Midnight, pulling her into my arms.
"Oh Midnight. Midnight Midnight Midnight," I sobbed, trying to flatten her black pixie cut.
"You killed her!" I screamed at Scar, telekinetically grabbing her by the throat and lifting her into the air.
