Chapter One.

Beyond the bonds of blood.

The sound of a beautiful voice singing, along with the sounds of swords clashing halls of the dark museum. The noise of the swords could be barely be heard over the sound of the song. Giant bat-like monsters stood around in some sort of trance, all staring towards the entrance to the auditorium.

Here, Saya lays in a bloody heap on the side of the stage. She is face down on the floor, her sword two inches from her hand, which is painfully trying to reach it. Dead human bodies littered the floor, over tables, and in the seats. Haji keeps trying to run to Saya, to hold her, protect her. But Amshel continuously keeps throwing him to the far side of the room, keeping him as far away from Saya as possible. For now it was time for Diva to taste her own victory. Amshel looked at Diva with pride. Now was her time to shine.

"She is so beautiful." he thought as he looked at her.

She stood in the middle of the stage, holding a bouquet of blue roses, singing her heart out. Her white ball gown no longer was any shade of white. It was covered completely in blood. Any sign of the color white was drenched in the deep red of the human's blood. She was swaying back and forth, like a child waiting to receive some kind of present.

Amshel's hand turned into a sharp sword-like weapon, and plunged in deep into Haji's chest, pinning him against a wall.

"Now, Diva! Fulfill your final wish!"

Haji watched helplessly, blood dripping down his face, as Diva, who had stopped singing, dropped her bouquet, walked over to Saya, and picked up her sword. Saya's hand had finally found the handle of her sword, but it was carelessly pulled from her by Diva. Saya whimpered, and began squirming, trying to get free from Diva who had picked her up by the neck of her shirt.

"Now, Sister. Do you finally know what it's like to taste defeat? I've never had the chance to fully receive happiness, but you, who were born into happiness. Having anything you've ever wanted, just by asking. Now it's my turn, to have everything you've had all these years."

Saya choked up blood and stared at the sword, which was coated with her own, and now Diva's blood. Diva held the sword high over her head, aiming at Saya's heart.

Haji, trying everything he could to get to Saya before she was killed, was desprately slashing and stabbing at Amshel, just to get free of his grip to save his beloved. Amshel grinned at the feeble attempts made by Haji. His eyes wide with malace, as he laughed. But then were abruptly changed into pain and shock. He looked down at his chest. A sword had pierced right through his heart. He turned, thinking Diva had somehow been overcome by Saya, but looked to see it was Diva who had thrown the sword. She was hunched over from the force she put behind the sword to throw it straight across the room. She straighted up and then smiled, looking as if she was a child who had just won some sort of game. Saya was slumped over against a wall, still bloody, but completely unharmed.

"D-Diva..." choked Amshel, his eyes wide with shock. His body then began crystallizing, and falling to the floor. "But, why...?" he asked as he completely turned to crystal and shattered to pieces.

Haji looked up at Diva with shock, who began to sing again, then ran to Saya to help her with her wounds. Haji cut his chiropteran hand and poured blood into Saya's mouth. Her wounds healed as soon as the blood entered her mouth. She took a deep shuttering breath and looked over at Diva who was still standing in the middle of the stage, singing.

"Diva...but why?" Saya asked wide-eyed.

Diva stopped singing, looked at Saya and grinned. "I want to know what it's like, to be like you."
