So, it's been awhile since I updated. Sorry about that, consider this my slight hiatus note. I'll still update but it will be very rare. School started back up and it's junior year for me, so that means a crud load of homework, essays, projects, and planning for the senior exit project! Only reason I'm updating now is because I am at home, sick, with some throat disease that's a mystery even to the doctors! Anyways, this chapter will make up for the long wait, enjoy!

Dark collapsed to her knees, punching a floorboard repeatedly while Marianne's screams of agony reverberated off the walls.

Jane turned towards the general direction of the living room, an eyebrow raised in question. "What is Doctor Mario doing to that poor girl?"

Ganondorf eyed the woman, seeming to scrutinize everyone in the hallway. "Probably digging the bullet from her gut, it can't very well stay in there."

One final, bone chilling shriek bounced off the walls before it went completely silent. Pit gently lifted Dark to her feet, letting her go when she glared viciously.

Xcuite merely sighed then pulled one headphone from her ear, "We should probably get back…"

Ganondorf grunted in agreement, motioning for the rest of the group to follow him.

They entered the living room only to be greeted by a panicking Doctor Mario. Marianne appeared out of no-where; giggling as she stumbled towards them, blood leaking through her fingers as she pressed a hand to her stomach.

She stopped right in front of the group, her head tilting as a high pitched giggle bubbled from her lips.

Jane raised an eyebrow, "Doctor Mario…what did you do to her?"

The Italian Doctor shuddered with horror, "I did-a nothing!"

The vampiric girl collapsed to the ground, laughing darkly as her body convulsed, she was muttering dark incantations of some sort.

Just as quickly as it had begun…it was over.

The rest of her crimson essence flowed onto the carpet, her heart finally stopping.

No one dared move, no one dared breathe, everything was silent…

Dash's voice was the first to break the silence, "What…was that?"

No one answered, their bodies pressed against the wall as their hearts thumped ferociously in their ears, adrenalin coursing through everyone's veins.

Kuro moved stiffly towards Marianne, kneeling down as he felt for a pulse near her jugular, already knowing before he even checked.

"She's dead…"

Dark rolled her eyes, "Oh really? I never would have guessed after that little display!"

Marth kneeled next to Kuro, his hand resting on the young man's shoulder.

"Maybe…we should move her?"

Kuro nodded, and then froze as the sound of metal slicing through the air echoed in the room. The two men didn't even have time to breathe before the blade of a katana was sliding with ease straight out of one and into the other.

Marth slumped over, pinning Kuro to the floor beneath him.

Dark screamed in a guttural rage, "No!"

The remaining survivors could only watch helpless as their two friends died.

Kuro coughed up a bit of blood, his shaky hand, to everyone's surprise, reached up to caress Marth's face, a smile playing on his lips.

"If…I have to die…I'm glad it's with you my Liege…"

Kuro leaned in and placed a kiss on his secret crush's lips. Marth smiled, entwining his fingers with Kuro's as the two exhaled their final breath together.

Peach burst out sobbing at the love confession, not because it was sad but because this only meant there were two less men for her to hit on.

So erm yeah…that's it, I killed off my own OC to prove that I am a good sport about this and that my OC isn't the "special one." Dalek, I know that you were anticipating that little end scene there, I hope it wasn't awful. I'm going to be completely honest, I've been working on this for three weeks trying to edit and stuff, I'm still not totally happy with it, I just wanted to get this out before my birthday on Monday that way I'm not all guilty about not updating. Still don't have power, but go figure, it's kinda peaceful. xD
