"Fire may burn your sins, but it will burn your soul too"

"Well, this certainly is unexpected" The midnight black haired girl speaks when the door is wide open. Inside her brother and his wife are still there, yet not in the way one would think. "Sister, please leave, I'm in the middle of something" He speaks, anger laced in his voice, but he has found another way to release it. "Yes, I believe I see that, and I would join you if it were not for a delicate matter that I urgently need to discuss with you" She speaks. If it were under any other circumstances, she would at least be temped to smile, yet now the sadness and the grief has taken over her.

His wife is hanging on a rope that is tied around her neck and is stuck on a recently put hook on the ceiling. She's gasping for breath and tries to free herself, yet is unable too. As she is in the middle of the room and nothing is under her to stand on. He isn't called a ruthless killer of a King for nothing. The fact that he hasn't even felt the death of the love of his life and his Queen tells Luna that he truly is cursed.

"What may be the reason for your punishment of your wife? What has she done this time?" Luna asks, if he doesn't want to go with her, she only needs to wait until the girl hanging falls unconscious before she can begin. Since the only one who benefits from murdering the Queen and cursing the King is her, Luna wants to make sure that she doesn't get to know anything, as far as she's concerned, the Queen is alive. "While in the middle of our intimacy, she revealed some things to me and I intend to get it all out of her, one way or another" He speaks, his voice darkens.

Without Arabella by his side he embraces the evil inside him, she is the only one who can calm him and keep his dark and wicked side of him at bay. On cue, the girl goes limp and the time begins. "Come with me, there something I wish to show you" His sister speaks, knowing that she doesn't have much time before she will wake. "That can't be good, sister. Bother someone else who has time for your silly games. Or have you forgotten?" He asks, a smirk has replaced his look of anger.

However, anger runs through her, and a bit of amusement comes across her face. "Oh, brother, forgetting the perfect chaos I created with the flick of my hand, never. The one you see standing before you is only the kind side of me, the side that your Queen, the girl that is died could only see, and not the evil inside me" She says as she smirks, finally dropping the information that he needed to hear. As soon as her words leave her mouth, he stops right in his tracks and looks at her.

"You see brother, while you were playing the perfect cursed husband, your love was with her subjects and got assassinated for it" She says and for a small moment, she could see the spark of sadness in his eyes, yet that is well hidden and goes away after a split second, yet she saw it and there is hope for him. "She'll come back to life like she did the last time, don't worry yourself, dear little evil sister" He speaks, though there is a hint of doubt in his voice as some part of him, perhaps the un-cursed one knows that's not the case.

Then again, he is cursed and he's not in his right mind. Yet, is still himself, as the Devil is supposed to be. The violet irises of the girl watch him with sorrow. "I fear it will not happen again, no matter how powerful she is, she will not come back alive this time" She speaks, and only a few seconds after she has spoken the words, movement comes from the hanging girl. In their conversation, they had forgotten all about her. Luna rolls her eyes, having had enough of her and she picks up a dagger that was on the golden table and throws it at the girl.

The dagger lands in her eye and gets stuck there, killing her again temporarily before her healing powers will be able to destroy the dagger. "You're welcome to kill anyone you'd like but leave her to me. As for the other dead girl, you do whatever you wish with her, I do not care" He speaks and that shocked her to the core. She truly believed that the love he held for her would be enough to break the curse and for him to go to his one and true love.

Knowing that she can't do anything with him, she turns her back and walks out of the room. When no one notices, a stray tear slips down her cheek, but she's quick to wipe it away before anyone could see. Everything has gone to Hell, literally. The Queen dead. The King cursed. The horribly annoying wife of the King still alive. And she being hunted like an animal, there's only a matter of time before the castle will be storming with soldiers from her other brothers to take her back to the prison.

Yet, not without fixing the things that have been happening in the Underworld. She alone can do something and she will do something to fix this. Not again will she spend ten thousand years in that prison and knowing that she could have saved the kingdom that she once did not care for. A certain fire haired girl somehow managed to change her mind. When she got out from that prison the only thing on her mind was revenge, yet after getting to know the girl, she views things on another way, the positive way. The kindness from the girl is something that she admires and respects and it has changed her, and for the better.

The girl has been set up in Luna's bedroom as her own was occupied by the King and his many murders of his wife who won't stop until he's satisfied the thirst for revenge, without Arabella his thirst for blood will be endless and there will be no way to stop him, not now. She lies on the bed, still and unmoving, cold and dead. Luna comes and sits down on the bed, beside the girl. Her hand reaches out to take hers, the shivers of cold runs through her as she feels the ice-cold hand of the girl.

"Soon my brother will go mad without you, and I fear I will not be here to stop his madness. The future is dark now, darker than the midnight of my power" She whispers as a tears slips down her right cheek and lands on the covers of the bed. Looking over at the girl, the very same girl that was supposed to change the world, she feels this feeling rise within her, the feeling for vengeance, she can't shake it off herself, she needs to avenge this poor girl who only just started living.

"I always wished for a sister, my whole life. While all I got were four older brothers, yet when I met you, I began to see you as my sister. Not at first, I hated you at first, like all the other lovers he has had. Yet when I stood in front of you that day, you completely frightened, I knew something, something that I had tried to hide from the start. That I could learn to love you as my sister, and I will mourn for you as I would a sister" She continues.

She can't even look at the pale girl, the pain is just too much for her to handle. "I must bid you farewell now, I do not have much time, but I made a promise to you. I might not have said it out loud like you had done with your promise. I had promised myself that I would always protect you and keep you from harm, as my little sister and even on the first day, I have failed you. I failed myself, and for the rest of my immortal life, I shall make it up to you" She says as she stands up from the bed.

As the tears continue to flow from her eyes, she turns around and walks out of the room, not able to do this anymore. She has seen death and she herself has caused death to others, yet not once has she had to experience someone she loved fall prey to the very thing that she could never do herself. Wiping her tears away, she welcomes her rage and with her rage, she uses her powers. The familiar feeling inside her of her own power trying to break free is something that she's used to.

Her eyes close as she takes a deep breath, letting one stray tear roll down her cheek. Her eyes snap open, yet instead of the violet irises that color her eyes, they are as pitch black as her hair and the burst of energy out from her palms crashes into the walls. The bolt of light striking the walls on either side of her, releasing her magic to the world. After a few seconds she stops and her eyes return to normal and the most wicked smiles makes its way to her face.

Walking around the castle, she sees her magic already start to take place as every guard she sees is on the ground, deep in slumber. Seeing them like that makes her feel better, and all the memories of what she did before rush to her, even if it has been ten thousand years, she remembers the time when she was in the human world casting her forever sleep on the humans, and only she could wake them. And for that very reason she was sent to the prison, for her brothers believed her dangerous, yet she was not.

Having a bit of fun, seeing the humans slaughter the ones asleep always brought a smile on her face, nothing is more satisfying than seeing them murder each other. There was no fun in forcing all the humans to sleep, so she only made half of them and all of that half were killed by the ones that were awake. Only proving her point to her brother, but none of them would listen to her. She warned them that the human kind were not the angels that they believed and they would murder and slaughter one another whenever they had the chance.

She walks by a guard, but then she goes down on her knees in front of him, seeing him fast asleep on the floor, never to wake again, unless by her hand, as the only thing that can reverse her own magic is herself. The violet eyed girl smirks as she sees the guard in this state, she takes a hidden dagger from his boot and she stabs him in the back with it. Over and over again, letting out the frustration and anger out while doing so. Of course he shall feel the pain and he will feel the dagger pierce his skin.

For Luna, that's the best thing. The ones who are asleep do feel pain and they will feel pain until they are dead. "You see, I will forever be evil and I intend to murder each one of you scum of a guard, as you all failed to protect her, the one who could have been the savior of the world. The very one that lies dead and will never wake again" She says, the evil smile on her face as the blood leaks down on the ground and soaks her dress, she doesn't care. It is already a little burned and ruined, what harm can a little blood do?

The King in all his pleasure of murdering his wife, notices that out of the walls, a black smoke appears, a smoke that he's far to familiar with. Luna's magic and judging by it, there is a lot of it. "What's happening?" His wife panics as the room fills with that smoke, her worried face looks over to him, and notices that he's as calm as he can be. The smoke fills her lungs, as she falls into a deep slumber, like the rest of them.

While he remains a wake, and he does enjoy that his sister is finally seeking revenge, then again he doesn't know for who her revenge is for. As far as he knows, it's for locking her in that prison for so long and she's finally taking her revenge on him. A smirk forms on his face as he sees his wife unconscious on the floor, as he had already cut the rope and was preparing for more creative ways to murder her, she will always be back, until the day that she doesn't and he plans to be the one to cause that to happen.

He walks over her as if she were a puddle of water on the ground and he doesn't want to get his feet wet, and walks out of the room, and into the hallway, where all the guards that he doesn't even like being there are on the ground, some are fast asleep, while others are dead. Shame, he really liked that floor, and now it's covered in blood. It will take forever to clean it up as the floor is the black and blood doesn't show much on black color.

"Sister, come out, come out, where ever you are!" He calls out, knowing that she is near and can hear him, he knows that she wants to kill him. No wonder, really. He locked her up for ten thousand years, the sentence speaks for itself. He only wonders why it took her so long to get his revenge on him, she has been staying there for some time and not once has she tried to kill him or done anything that her wicked little mind has thought of. Because of what? He doesn't know it, but the reason is a fire haired Queen who has now passed away.

A cruel laughter around him makes him smirk even more than he already has. "Dear, little sister, this castle feels your presence, and thus I do too. You cannot hide in the shadows from me" He calls out, knowing that she can hear him. His sister has always preferred the company of the shadows instead of the light, yet not lately. She has been busy in the light with Arabella, the girl that he somehow can't stop thinking about. Even through his murderous thoughts of his wife and how she's keeping something from him, he can't stop thinking about her.

"Brother dearest, the castle may be in your power, but let us not forget that I control you now. If I wanted you'd be deep in slumber by now" She says, still not making her appearance known to the King himself. "You can and you do have that power, yet I feel you need something from me and you will not do it for that very reason. You want revenge on me. The sweet glorious revenge that has been cooking inside of you for thousands of years and now you won't stop until you get it" He says.

To a normal person, it would seem like he's provoking her and trying to make her angrier at him to get her to charge at him, and that would frighten anyone, as she can appear wherever she likes, even while he walks down the hallways. But, that's not the case for him, he's only seeking her out, wanting to know her true intentions. The Devil himself knows that her revenge can't possible be the only thing she's after, yet he has not figured out what it is that she wants. "I did want revenge, and I planned it for ten thousands years" She speaks as she lets out a wicked giggle.

"Oh, how many times I have thought about killing you and our brothers, and how I would make you suffer at my hands, it would be the most glorious thing I had ever done and after I had gotten my revenge on you all, I would murder each and every one of those pathetic humans. But, my, that has changed since I met her. The one who was destined to be your Queen. Arabella. Without knowing it, she changed me for the better and now my revenge on the world is gone. However..." She says and stops.

Stepping out of the shadows, she stands in front of him. He had found her, or she had found him. Both of them glaring into each other's eyes. "She died. She got murdered in her own kingdom and her death has made me realize something. I don't need revenge on the humans, only you. You let this happen to her. It was you who caused her too much pain, pain that she did not need and it was you who is responsible for her death and now you will suffer your whole immortal life, I shall make sure of that" Luna tells him.

The glare and the hate in her eyes doesn't go past anyone, that is if anyone is there, as no one is there except the two of them, and the dead guards on the floor. Lucifer, however doesn't look that frightened by her threat, nor is he touched by her words. He only smirks at her and evil behind his red glowing eyes. "Dear sister, how wonderful you planned the revenge after all, though, I must admit, using a poor girl's death as your motive. Pathetic really" He says, only angering her further. With the burning anger rising within her, she charges at her brother.

The siblings battling out their feelings, the fire haired girl lies on the bed in Luna's bedroom. Her skin growing paler with each hour and in the world that's filled with fire and Hellfire and where the cold winter never touches the world itself, the girl grows colder, like frost has entered her veins. A necklace around her neck, a red slightly glowing stone that might not seem that very important, yet now holds her entire life. The Queen that will rule the world will live again.
