Devil pov
How long has it been since Eclipse and Iris have started staying here? Eclipse doesn't leave the room I gave him, and Iris is always out on jobs again. Let's see, Eclipse was hurt on Friday, April 6 so I guess it's been a whole month since then. I sighed as I walked to the dinning room for lunch. I opened the door to the dinning room with a yawn and was met with some giggling and laughing. I looked around and I saw a couple of maids playing with Eclipse. 'Didn't know he was all better. Guess he's able to move now.'

"Devil!! Hi!!" Eclipse said as he ran around full of life and energy. I smiled at his childish antics.

"Your highness!"

"Please, Devil is quite fine and you all know it." I said and everyone was smiling at me. I've noticed that I've softened greatly. 'I can't believe he softened me this much. Eclipse... you are something else.' I thought with a smile.
"Do you think you all can stop playing for a bit to have some lunch?"

"I've already eaten!"

"Really? What did you have?" I asked and Eclipse stopped in his tracks.

"I had some currie..." he mumbled and I guess he thought I didn't hear him. I've gotten extremely good at hearing him since he's been here. I nodded and gave a soft smile.

"That actually sounds really good."

"I know!! It was like heaven in my mouth!" He said and jumped around before promptly stopping and started limping around.

"You alright?" I asked and he turned to me with a smile.

"Yup! I'm good!" He replied with a pained smile. I raised a knowing brow and he sighed.

"Okay, Maybe I hurt myself while playing but I'll be fine! You don't have to worry!" He said as he proudly stood in the middle of the dining hall. I chuckled and shook my head.

"Nope. Not fouling me Clips. Geez your somethin else buddy."

"What do you mean by that? And who's Clips?"

"Oh... ummm... I'm hungry I think I'm going to go eat! Haha! ....bye!" I said and swiftly made my exit. I heard Eclipse start laughing and I felt my face heat up in embarrassment.

"Wow~ That great Devil himself is blushing a bright red~ I wonder what Magi would think of their brave and fearless leader got embarrassed by giving his crush a nickname~" Someone said and I looked up to see Iris with a huge smirk. I glared at her and she played a fake defensive act.
"Calm down lover boy. I won't tell a soul. Anyways, speaking of love I gotta have a chat with you."

"Oh? And what is this chat going to be about?"

"Eclipse."

"Oh... well that was a straight answer." I said as she started dragging me away from the dinner hall. 'I still want food...' I thought as we made it to my office.
"So what about Eclipse?" I asked after I closed the door behind us. Iris looked to me and her stare was intense. I jumped and gulped as well as chills ran up my spin.

"I overheard that someone is going to try and kill Eclipse in a few days."

"What!?"

"My thoughts exactly, but after looking into it... it's true. Someone by the name of Lisa Lockstar is going to try and kill Eclipse. I'm not sure when unfortunately."

"Lisa...." I didn't even have enough time to think it through when a couple screams erupted throughout the building. We both rushed out and went to the dining hall. When we opened up the doors, I don't think I'd ever felt so sick.

Iris and Devil opened the doors a little to late. Maids and other people were on the ground, either died or slowly dieing. I was on of the ones on the ground slowly dieing. I can tell you that it's not a pleasant feeling. Knowing that you'll never be able to open your eyes again. But for some odd reason, I'm not scared. Now let me rephrase that so you understand. I'm scared of dieing, don't get me wrong, but I have an odd feeling that I'll be okay and I guess that's why I'm not scared.

I couldn't see much. My back against the wall, head forward. Blood dripping down my forehead, across my arms and torso. Cloths looking more like rags. Cuts, bruises, and stab wounds all over my body. I couldn't feel my legs, my eyes struggled to stay open. My arms numb with pain. My ears were ringing. Everything looked blurry and I could tell my eyes had glazed over. Her laughter the only thing I could hear through all the ringing. I felt tears prick at my eyes as I struggled to stay quiet.

"'What's with the tears? You'll be okay. I promise.' IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED ME TO SAY!! YOU POOR EXCUSE OF A MONSTER!! Your pathetic. I don't know why Devil cares so much about you."

"Like you could understand."

"What was that you little rat!? Have I not beat you enough that your still holding onto hope that he'll save you? News flash monster! We ain't anywhere near the dining hall now! He will NEVER EVER find you again! You WILL die sad and alone!!"

"That's.... that's not true...."

"*Scoffs* ya keep dreamin weirdo."

"*Chuckles* your kinda funny."

"How so?"

"Not sure.... you just are..."

"Your delusional. I think I knocked all sense of reason out of you."

"Maybe, but I've never been in the right set of mind whenever you were around. Maybe because your that much of a bitch." I said and wherever we are feel deathly silent. Jenna soon kicked me in the gut which prompted me to throw up blood and gasp for air. My ears twitched as I heard running but it was too soft for Jenna to hear.

"Say that again. You filthy piece of trash!"

"Stop yelling you stupid old hag." I mumbled as she doin delivered a fierce kick to my jaw, ending with me falling to the ground with a groan.

"Your getting on my last nerve Eclipse Everline. Devil will never find you and I'll just keep the act up."

"W-what a-act?"

"This one~" I passed out.
