Although instead of relaxing her, sitting in the heated bathtub only reminded her of the loneliness that had taken over her life. All the love that had so quickly been snatched away from her. Was this a punishment? Was this her fault? Her mind raced as it couldn't keep up with her violent emotions. She rushed out of the tub to the sink and opened the drawer and unconsciously searching for something. Her hand slid across a knife, and on impulse she lifted it, and sat back in the tub.

And as if something completely wicked took over her mind, she pressed the blade to her left forearm dragging it down her skin and gasping at the metal slashing deep inside of her. It hurt like hell. But it made her better for a second, and even more worthless the next. She felt as if she deserved the pain.

The more she would drag the metal blade through her arm, the redder the bath water became.

"Magenta?! Magenta?!" She hazily heard a panicked voice shouting from the door, "Cosmo she's been in there for two hours and she won't respond! Get the keys!"

Only seconds later, Nation came rushing through the door in horror to find her cousin in a bathtub of blood. She rushed to her and took the knife from her hands and threw it in the sink. Then grabbing a towel she pulled Magenta from the tub and into the towel. Rushing her into a small medical room.

"Cosmo, come now!" Nation panicked as he rushed over.

She laid her on a table and covered Magenta with a blanket as they quickly began numbing and stitching her wounds. Hoping that she didn't lose to much blood. But as a Transylvanian this wouldn't harm her much. They're bodies had much better defenses than humans and could replace blood much quicker.

After stitching and bandaging her arms they brought her to a guest room where Nation sat with her for a few moments.

"Magenta..." Nation spoke as she opened her eyes from being passed out

"What happened?!" She asked noticing her arms

"You were cutting dear, and we had to stitch your wounds..." Nation Said concerned with tears running down her face, it horrified her, "you just lost it, but please never do that again, you scared us to death Magenta! We don't want to lose another cousin!"

"I'm so sorry..." Magenta said looking away holding back her emotions.

"Just please, don't ever scare us like that again..." Nation said as a tear fell. As her specialty being a Neuroscience she knew all about these phycological issues of self harm going hand in hand with ptsd. But this scared and worried her the most. It was her cousin, whom she was so close too and was her best friend. It killed her to see her like this.

"Magenta, you are going through severe depression and ptsd... And we shall treat you for such, but just know we are ALWAYS here for you..."

"So your going to shove drugs down my throat like all the people here?!"

"No no, of course not dear. You are not insane, you have a severe mental injury and are under tremendous phycological pain and need our help..." Nation comforted, trying to pull herself together and be strong for Magneta, "here, in the meantime you can borrow my clothes." She smiled handing her a folded up pile of clothes. Mostly black as Magenta liked. After leaving the room briefly to let Magenta get dressed, Nation returned with a makeup box and hair supplies.

"We must disguise you..." Nation said taking out a brush and somehow managed to brush out Magenta's stubborn hair. Then bringing a straightener to it making it look completely flat. She then took curlers and rolled them up into her hair. And started on the makeup.

Taking a skin colored foundation, she covered Magenta's pale face and added blush and eyeliner. Making her look completely different and a lot like Nation herself. After finishing makeup taking down the curlers she allowed Magenta a look in the mirror. Not even realizing how much she hated it, with her mind completely consumed on her deceased brother.

"Thank you..." Magenta mumbled and looked down.

"I'm so sorry my dear..." Nation frowned

"I don't ever want to go back to Transylvania... Not without my Riff Raff..."

"Okay, Magenta, if that's what you'd like we shall stay on earth, the four of us..." She said offering Magenta a small smile.

Suddenly Trixie began crying from her crib. Nation walked over and picked her up.

"Is she alright?" Magenta asked

"She's probably hungry, come Magenta..." She opened the door and they both walked to the kitchen.

They walked into the kitchen as Magenta sat in a chair. Nation placed Trixie in her arms and went to get a bottle ready.

Magenta stared at her daughter thinking of her brother. And how she reminded her so much of him.

"She reminds me so much of Riff Raff..." Magenta said, Nation sending her a small smile.

"She's such a beautiful little girl..." Nation said

"What did I look like as a child?" Magenta asked. Nation was about 8 when when her aunt had Magenta.

"Quite like Trixie, except with your red hair and green eyes..." Nation said walking over with a bottle and handed it to Magenta, who gave her an 'I don't know how to do this' look.

Nation smiled, "it's very easy..."

Just then Cosmo walked in.

"Ah Magenta, how are you dear?" Cosmo said

"I'm alright..." She sighed as Cosmo came over to her and set his hand on her back for comfort.

"Nation, Nurse Ansalong is about to come in and prepare dinner..." Cosmo said

"Please tell her and Bert we shall be eating in here today..." Nation said

"I'm sorry darling I-"

"You don't have to Cosmo but I need to be here for Magenta..."

"I am sorry my dear, I have an urgent meeting at dinner this evening..." Cosmo sighed

"I understand..." Nation sighed in return. All his late business meetings were taking a very harsh toll on their relationship. Hoping they were really business meetings pertaining to their jobs. But was she really questioning Cosmo's faithfulness?! She shook her head and pushed the thought away.

Cosmo walked over to her and kissed her lips, hoping it would set her at ease a bit. He knew she would question his faithfulness. But he would never do such a thing to her.

She gave him a small smile as she kissed him again, followed by him leaving the room.

She turned to Magenta who's eyes were tearing as she fed Trixie by the bottle.

"He'll never see her grow..." Magenta cried

"Of course he will..." Nation said sympathetically walking over to her

"What do you mean?"

"He is always watching you dear, he loved you tremendously..." Nation explained

"It's just... So hard!" Magenta cried with tears dropping.

"I know dear, I know..." Nation said hugging her.

After a few moments Nation took the bottle and washed it as Nurse Ansalong came in the kitchen

"Nurse Ansalong this is my cousin Magenta, she is Trixie's mother..." Nation said

"Hi Magenta, I'm Nurse Ansalong, welcome aboard..." She smiled

"We shall be eating in the kitchen tonight..." Nation said

"Alright I'll leave two plates in here for you! I got some real good pasta and-"

"Thank you Nurse..." Nation interrupted. "Come Magenta..." She said guiding her outside the room.
