Ayato paniced... with one quick motion he picked her up and kept his face away from the flower. He carried her to underground rooms below their mansion. There was a cell there where they used to keep people they didn't really like or got bored of. It was one of Laitos favourite hang out spot. Ayato put Yui down gently and locked the door to the cell behind him. He than looked at her as she began to cry behind the bars while still in the trans. She was crying blood.

'' It looks like it's getting worse! '' he said just as one of his eyes turned crimson red.

'' Looks like she doesn't have long to go~'' said a shadowy figure from the background..

'' Alice? What are you doing here?'' said Ayato while looking at the girl he knew since childhood. They used to play everyday. When he could get away from his mother's grasp he would play with his friend Alice.." How are you still alive? Didn't my mother kill you?'' asked Ayato not believing his eyes. Alice grinned and walked into the light. she was so very pale and looked like a corpse...'' Delphin brought me back Ayato...I'm not fully alive yet but the life force I've been sucking from the victims of the crimson roses like Yui over there are keeping me at a not dead not alive stage. You can call me an undead..'' Said Alice. Ayato felt pain in his chest as he watched Yui slowly collapse and starting to die...

Ayato couldn't take it he turned back to look at Alice and pleaded '' Please spare Yui!''.. Alice replied with '' Why do you care? shes just a mere human girl..and when shes gone I can be ack.. Ayato I love you and when I'm back we can play again like we used too.''... Ayato looked at alice than to Yui.. He had to pick...who...to love and who to die...

'' You know you can return my feelings by showing me the greatest expression of a vampires love...You can kill me and if you do Delphin and the crimson roses will loose their control and everyone will live..Or you can sarcifice them and leave here with me..'' Said Alice. Ayato looked lik he couldn't pick. This was so hard and so sudden! He missed his childhood friend. He did have a crush on this girl vampire long ago when he was a child. And now to know shes alive and can stay ALIVE and that she loves him...It was all too much... Ayato fell to the floor. Words flying around him. HE HAD TO CHOOSE...

Alice walked down next to him and handed him a silver smiled at him and said '' Please Ayato we can be happy! .. '' Ayato'' said a frail dying voice. Yui was bleeding from her eyes and got her body back just to say one thing while looking at it. '' I'm sorry I caused you so much grief!...'' and as her eyes began to close as she became unconciousious she fraily made out '' I love yo-u..''...

Ayato grabbed the knife in hand stood up with tears in his eyes and said '' I'm sorry!''.
