Footsteps rang throughout the long winding corridor. The nun finally reached her sister who lay unconcious on her mother's grave.

"Grace..." The nun shook the girl gently.

I opened my eyes to find my older sister kneeling next to me. "Why are you here?" She seemed taken aback by my question.

"To make sure you were okay."

"Thanks." I leaned against her. "But why would you come? I mean, you're part of the Vatican now right?"

"Yes I am...I'm here to warn you. 02 and a Methuselah are out to kill our father."

"I know...we can't reveil ourselfs though. If the ordan were to find us..."

"Understood. You changed you hair color...I think your origional color was best, but you can't be too careful now can you?" Kelsey helped me to my feet. "I need your help also."

"I know. I sensed you guys when you were 100 miles away. I'm guessing the Methuselah needs a place to stay?"

"Yup."

"Fine...but why didn't you just go to the mansion?"

"Password?"

"Oh yah...sorry..." We walked outside. The sun was barely hidden by clouds. "You remember that old phrase?"

"Yup, but considering how times are is it humanity or terrans for the second word?"

"Hm...dunno." The methuselah and cruznick gave me a curious look. "This is my sister Grace. Grace this is Abel Nightroad and Ion Fortuna."

"Nice to meet you." I said trying to be nice...

"Same here." Abel said. Ion just nodded.

"Grace you-" Kelsey asked.

"Yah. So they've finally found us."

"It appears so."

"What the heck are you two talking about?" Ion questioned.

"Dietrich with Death-Hunters,"

"And Issac with Shadow-Devils."

"Huh?" Abel looked comptletely and utterly lost.

"Can we tell them?" Kelsey looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Only part."

"Okay."

"Okay."

I let out a sigh. "The orden is after us. 1) because we're traitors and 2) well...um...yah. that I'm not saying. Basically we left the organization and hid here along with the others...about 10 years ago we all split up. Kelsey went to the Vatican, Steven the empire, Kenize to Albion, Michal the Dragons, Nick the Cat Demons, and I just stayed back here because my homeland's been destroyed. I know it sounds insane considering the Dragons and Cat Demons are supposed to be extinct, they survived like the Therapserins. But very few of us exist now to my knowledge."

"Wait, YOU'RE A THERAPSERIN?!" Abel screamed almost knocking Ion over.

"Yah...Kelsey isn't. We're sisters because of our father."

"Who's your father." Ion asked rubbing his ears.

"That we won't tell. Ever. Well unless…" Kelsey stated.

"Just curious, how can you be a Therapserin? You don't look it..."

"I doubt you've ever seen a true Therapserin. Even if you are a cruznick."

"How the hell did you know that Kelsey didn't know-"

"Yah I did. Once you were within a 10 mile radius of me I sensed you. Same with Grace." Abel's eye twitched. "Then what are you?"

"Cat Demon." She allowed her ears to show.

"God. That explains a lot. Especially your obsession with cats." Ion blurted out.

"Yah we know." Kelsey and I said simultaneously.

"Now. Get behind us." I ordered.

"What? But I could-"

"Just let us handle it. Sigh...I guess we'll have to move...I really liked our house too." Kelsey pulled out a small metal rod about 1 inch in diameter and six inches in length. She put her finger on a black colored star and the rod stretched to six foot staff.

"Lost Technology?" Ion asked staring at the rod.

"Yup. Grace made it herself and it's lasted for quite a while."

"Glad you kept it. You could say I'm an expert when it comes to weapon making. Or just anything that's tech. Let's see...they're approaching from behind the mansion...so we don't need to worry about the town, but we'd better get to our house before they do."

"They're still after that data? It's completely useless isn't it?"

"The data is well...pretty much everything until we destroyed 'that' place. So it'd kinda be bad if they got it..." Why'd it have to decrypt today?!

"Wait...you mean that data was from the base?!" I nodded. "Shit. How much is on there."

"Everything. I mean ALL of it. The designs, DNA sequences, even the whole data plot on the rare bacillus. And what happened to the rare bacillus when…"

"Oh God."

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

"The fact that if Isaac or Dietrich get the data that I have it's the end of us. And probably the world." Ion quickly shut up. "Let's get going."

We ran to the mansion just before Isaac blew up the gate. Abel and Ion stayed back in the trees. "Damnit...that took me forever to build…you could've just asked Isaac. What do you want anyways?"

"We're here for you two. Grace-Sama."

"Why? Do you guys miss me that much?"

"Nice try. We're on orders from your father."

"Tch. He couldn't have even come himself? Is his body really that bad?" Abel obviously realized who I was talking about same with Ion. I crossed my arms and allowed my eyes to change to ruby. "I'm surprised you found us. But I suggest you leave if you don't want to die. I'm not in a very good mood today."

"We're stronger than you think." Ten shadow-devils arose from the ground. "Come quietly or we'll use force. Those were our orders."

"Hm…tempting…nah. She held out her staff and I materialized my pike. Her blue eyes became green and catlike. "And this is one of our weakest forms. So if you can beat us we'll come. If not. I suggest you never come back."

"Fine." Dietrich and about 70 death-hunters appeared.

"Which one's you want?" I asked Kelsey.

"Hm…I'll take Isaac."

"Fine with me." I smirked. "This is unfair isn't it?"

"True. Them against BOTH of us? Eh, then again I don't really care about fair play when it comes to them."

"Nice." The death-hunters and shadow-devils charged at us. I destroyed all of the death-hunters within minutes same with Kelsey and the shadow-devils.

"H-h-how?" Dietrich stood amazed but soon regained his composure. "You two really are his daughters."

"I can see why he wants you two back. Why not? After all with you on our side we can finish what you started."

"No thanks." Kelsey vanished and reappeared holding her staff against Isaac's neck restricting his movement and breathing. I in turn held my pike to Dietrich's neck. "Now. Leave or die."

"Looks like you win Grace-Sama. I can see why you were made second in command right below your father and Kelsey third in command. But tell us one thing. Why'd you leave?"

"We had our reasons and want to make the world what we want it our own way. We have a saying too: The earth shall be reborn," I stated.

"But not by the Orden's flames or the flames of war." Kelsey added.

"But by the waters of peace." I finished.

"So much like your father." Isaac was smiling. "We'll leave you for now."

"Goodbye." They both vanished along with all the corpses.

"You two can come out now." Abel and Ion stepped out of the trees.

"Okay. This is seriously confusing…who's side are you on?"

"Our own side. Not orden, not Vatican, nor Empire. We want peace, and there's already two places on this earth that has NO terrorists at all. The Dragons and the Cat Demons. I'm not going to disclose the location, but everyone lives in peace. Terran, Methuselah, Demon, Dragon, and Cruznick. The only reason why I'm not there is to help you guys." Kelsey explained.

"We only want peace. Something my kind almost died out trying to make, so I'm finishing it. That's the only reason I still live. One of the promises I made to my mother." My cell phone started beeping. "Shit."

"What's that?"

"It's called a cell phone, they aren't really much use anymore since there aren't any satellites or cell towers, but I use mine to alert me when someone's trying to hack my system or break into the lab. Well they lied…doesn't really surprise me though…"

"Damn…how far are they?"

"Not very…Dietrich might be 'brilliant' with lost tech, but yah, not one fourth as good as me. He's only about 9 through…and that's taken him an hour to do…might as well stop him. And I don't even have the full barriers up…hm…I think I'll just fry his system remotely…that'll be easy and quite hilarious considering he'll probably get shocked pretty badly and fall off the side of the mansion…" I typed in a security code on my cell phone and the command to destroy all invading networks. About eight seconds later we saw something fall off the building. Apparently smoking. "Yup. Told ya."

"Holy…you've been busy since we left…" I burst out laughing.

"Well what the hell do you think I'd do all these years? Just be a bum? I've actually gotten a TON of work done…oh, and your old cell phone should work as a communicator with mine."

"Nice…was it the real Dietrich or a dummy?"

"Dummy. Tch. Thought they'd be able to hack me? Yah right."

"Um…just who the hell are you two REALLY?" Ion glared at me.

"Fine. I'm Grace Nightrise and she's Kelsey Nightrise. Genetically Cain's daughters, but we weren't born, we were created. Red Mars Project…you know all about that don't you Abel?"

"Yah…but if you're his daughters than aren't you cruznicks?"

"Yes and no…we…we were created to destroy you…" Kelsey stuttered.

"We…we are the second generation."

"W-w-w-what?! The records say you all died in your awakenings…"

"We did." Kelsey muttered.

I showed him the marks on my wrist and neck. Even though they now had cross designs that appeared atop of them the bite markings were still there. "They couldn't just let us stay dead. They were the ones that killed my mother and entire kingdom. It's their fault Cain's the way he is. It's their fault the Armageddon happened…It's their fault we have no freedom and are force to live while everyone around us dies. It's their fault their decedents have to suffer in this hell we call life."

"Grace…"

"Just leave me alone. You have no idea what I went through there in that place. I can no longer truly smile or hope. All I can do is just live as an empty shell. My father's the enemy of the very world her wanted to protect. My whole kingdom's fallen and I couldn't even help any of them. THEY HAD FAITH IN ME AN I FAILED THEM! It's all my fault they died." I ran to my bedroom and collapsed on my bed crying before any of them could say anything. "I'm sorry I failed you all…" I whispered into my pillow.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

"Here. You can have these rooms."

"Thank you…what about-"

"I'm going to talk to her. She did go through more than any of us had. Her life was oblivion and she wasn't allowed to die. She had to shut herself away, hide her weakness…the only reason she kept the scientists attention was so none of us had to suffer…she is an empty shell of someone that used to have enough hope for all of us. Now she doesn't care and doesn't believe in hope or friends." Grace…why won't you let any of us in? Why must you hide your pain? Why can't we be friends again? I want to see you smile…"All I want is to see her smile once again. I've never seen her truly happy after that day…"

"Kelsey…tell me please, why are you with us?"

"I want to save him. I want to save my father so Grace can truly be happy again…don't ask how I'm going to do it, but I'm going to try."

I was heavily restrained forced to watch my mother's termination. "NO! DON'T KILL HER! KILL ME! DON'T MAKE HER DIE!!! DON'T TAKE HER AWAY!!!" Tears were streaming down my face like mad. I was struggling as the firing squad took aim on my mother bound to a nearby bloodstained wall. "NO!"

"Ready aim…"

"NO!"

"FIRE!" An explosion of bullets erupted as my mother was shot to death.

I finally broke through my restraints and ran to here. "No…you can't die! You're the only person I can trust! Mother!" She opened her eyes dying.

"Grace…whatever you do, don't die. That's all I ask. Don't die so your people can still have their princess. You're the new ruler of the Therapserins."

"NO! I can't live on without you!"

"Please. Keep living and save our people. You can escape here along with the others still. Promise me you'll live as long as possible." I nodded as she drifted away. "I love you Grace-"

"YOU BASTARDS!!! SHE NEVER HURT ANY OF YOU! YOU'LL PAY!!!" I snarled allowing the nanomachines to activate. My form changed: my honey blonde hair turning black and going down to my ankles with red tips. My eyes ruby, and fangs bared I spread my black and red wings grabbing my pike when it materialized before me. "Die." I wiped out the entire firing squad and the scientists that had killed her and ruined my life from the start.

"Stop it 06!" Michal ran through the nearby door.

"No. You don't understand. She never did anything! She didn't deserve to die!" He and I fought for what seemed like forever. He eventually stabbed me in the stomach with his blade knocking me unconscious and bleeding heavily.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

I awoke in a solitary room restrained to the bed with my wounds bandaged. "Damnit." The door opened and Michal ran through. "What do you want traitor?" I snarled breaking the restraints.

"I'm sorry they killed her. I understand how you-"

"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU UNDERSTAND MY PAIN?! SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE I COULD TRUST! THE ONLY PERSON THAT ACTUALLY LOOKED AT ME AS IF I WERE A HUMAN! NOT THE MONSTER EVERYONE SAYS I AM!" I was crying. He came over and tried to hold onto me. I shoved him into a wall. "I don't want comfort from an ass hole like you. Leave me or kill me."

"W-w-what?"

"Leave me or kill me. I don't want to live in this hell. I don't want to be used anymore. Maybe in death I'll be free." He left the room. I fell back onto my small bed crying for my mother… "I'm sorry I couldn't stop them. I'm sorry mother."
