Chapter 16.

Esmae sighed and gripped her staff tightly, Alexandra smiled a little and tended the small patch of Daisy's next to her. "Aimi?" Aimi turned around, her hands were placed over her heart softly. "How come we cannot see your eyes?" Aimi gulped and begun to sob, she collapsed onto the ground, her hands clenched in a tight fist. "B...Because..." Aimi gulped and got up, walking briskly past the clutter of girls that sat next to the fountain. "Aye Aimi!" An unfamiliar voice called her name, she turned around and thought it was some sort of fantasy. "Tomoyo?" Tomoyo smiled and hugged Aimi tightly, grabbing ahold of her hands in a tight squeeze. "T...Tomoyo I thought I'd never see you again.." Tomoyo smiled and softly messed up her hair. "The gate was open somehow, but it's not safe to escape Aimi.." Aimi nodded and gulped, glancing away. Esmae got up and walked over to the two smiling. "We're planning to ambush-" Esmae glanced at Tomoyo, her heartbeat picking up quickly. "I'm Tomoyo Griffis, and you are Madame?" Tomoyo bowed and smiled, grabbing Esmae's hand and kissing it softly. "Esmae Masako, my father runs this hospital.." Tomoyo nodded and smiled, gazing into her eyes. She still wore that bloody white eye patch over her left eye. "I heard the place collapsed completely after the ol' man went insane, completely bonkers... Wanting to feast on the souls of his lovers and family." Esmae shivered, she glanced away shyly suddenly, arms wrapped around Esmae's waist softy, she blushed brightly and turned around. Face to face with her crush. "Think I'd leave you stranded?" Esmae smiled, embracing Avery in a kiss. Her hand caressing his cheek softly while her left hand gripping his waist tightly. "Tomoyo?" Tomoyo peered at Avery, frowning slightly. "Is this your girl Avery?" Avery shook his head, blushing a bright red. "A...Agh... No!" Avery softly pushed Esmae aside, glancing away shyly. Esmae fell onto the ground from the sudden shove, she blushed brightly and got back up, looking around. "I should probably meet up with the elemental sisters.." Esmae left, leaving behind the group.

Sakura, Hailey, Alexandra, Mary all were waiting for Esmae on the rooftop of the hospital. Hailey wore a red combat skirt and a red laced sweater along with red heels. She carried two red pistols. Suddenly a wearing dark blue & white armor collapsed out of a portal. Falling onto the ground gasping for air. "Sada! What took you so long?" Sada shrugged, she carried a battle axe along with daggers. "Ah, so we're ready? Water & fire, you storm out those dolls in the attic and storm along with air will take on the two main guards for the lair of the darkness. Life & death that's when you'll kick In and stop victor." All of the girls nodded, soon the plan was commenced and everything went ok. Soon Life & death (Esmae and Alexandra) arrived at the doors of khyrsalis's keeper. "Ah, looks like you've been halfway through the test, Little Rose. I'm surprised you aren't Wearing red like roses." Esmae's eyes narrowed, before Alexandra lunged at victor Esmae held her arm out. "No... This is my fight. You go join your sisters, I will be ok I promise..." Alexandra stared in silence and bowed, quietly muttering "As you wish..." Soon, face to face with victor. Esmae gulped and slammed her scythe down onto the ground. The direction she slammed her scythe the ground split in half, leading up to victor knocking him off of his feet. "Little Rose, you think it's that easy?" Suddenly, a girl with the same features as Aimi appeared, holding out her arm softly. "No... Please..." Esmae glanced downwards, towards the girl. "Aimi?!!!?" The girl shook her head, hiding behind Esmae. "Go to somewhere safe, go outside into the garden and you'll find 3 people; Aimi, Avery and Tomoyo. They'll keep you safe." The girl nodded and ran for her life, slamming the doors behind her shut. The wind fiercely blew her cape backwards, the death emblem glowing on her cape, she slipped on the hood and twisted her scythe forwards. Victor smiled and grabbed a grandmaster scythe, smirking with pride. "D....Dad we don't have to do this!!!" Victor adjusted his cuffs and kicked her scythe out of the way, grabbing her neck and throwing Esmae over to the window. "Dad please!!" Esmae crashed through the glass, suddenly she was falling. So this was it, Esmae's Skyfall. Esmae gripped her arms tightly, everything seemed motionless, the wind and sky darkening, while victor's smug look on his face looked down at her. "I will... Never forget." Esmae mouthed those words, crashing into the pond loudly. Her body was motionless, still alive but barely could move. She opened her eyes just to look at some sort of light glowing into the pond, shining on Esmae. "Forever and always?" Esmae smiled, roses from the Rose garden's petals slowly flew into the wind. Just as she was about to take her last breath, hands grasped around her feet, dragging her out of the water.

Sakura set aside Esmae and kneeled beside her. Esmae coughed loudly and gulped, her body quivering from the blood she lost. "Esmae.... It's okay... We killed him." Esmae glanced up, victor's Body crushed against the glass. "Esmae!" Aimi, Tomoyo, and Avery all raced up to her. Along with Seth carrying the girl. "We..... We won this battle." Esmae slowly got up, her scythe appearing in her hands. The Rose petals slowly died and fell to the ground. "Red like Roses."
