Skullina POV: ( in her dreams/memories )
I can tell it's going to be one of those dreams instantly. The feeling of fear and betrayal coursing through my veins. I open my eyes to face the painful memories, memories I wish I was allowed to lose. Looking around the blood stained room I'm in I see the familiar figure as always. It is a woman with long neon green hair and blood red eyes. She is staring at me with a deadly smirk, her expression one of triumph and pleasure. Her once white dress is covered in fresh blood, her hands still clutching the knifes she used to kill. My gaze shifts to the body's behind her tears threaten to fall when I do. There behind the girl who used to be my friend, are the corpses of our guardians and her mate. I look back to the now laughing girl, anger and sadness taking over my body.
"WHY? WHY DID YOU KILL THEM?" I yell at her my small voice echoing around the room. Asking a question I've heard the answer to many times before. The girl just laughs and points a blood covered knife at me, a look of pure madness on her blood coated face.
"Simple Skullina, I wished for more power. And to do that I had to kill the ones I love." she brings a blade to her lips, and licks some of the blood off it. I shudder and back away from her, not liking the way her eyes start to glow. Her once yellow-green eyes are now a deep blood red, with slits like a snake. "I made a deal with someone, a way to get the power I desired. I made a deal with a demon. He told me how to change into a demon, in exchange for the souls of the shinigami I killed."
"YOUR A MONSTER!" I scream clinching my small hands into fists. "Not only did you kill the people that took care of us, you killed your mate!" I'm suddenly sent flying and slammed against a wall. My head makes a sickening thump and i feel long fingers grip around my throat.
"I know I am Skullina, and I love it. I love the smell of freshly spilled blood, and the screams of my victims." her hand tightens around my throat the now black nails digging into my skin. "I have to leave you now my friend, but don't worry we'll meet again." she releases her hold on me and i fall to the floor. A portal opens up behind her and a man steps through, he is covered in shadow but I can see bright orange eyes. The woman walks up to the man and takes his hand, and he pulls her through the portal. The last thing I see is her cold heartless smile.
"MI-RA!" I scream her name even though she is gone. The tears finally falling and my mind is consumed by darkness.
Grell POV: ( in Undertakers shop while Skullina is asleep )
Skullina has been asleep almost all day, having slept through the rest of yesterday and the night. I look at the old clock Undertaker has hanging on the wall. 'If that old thing is correct it is almost 1 in the afternoon.' I look over at Undertaker now, he is sitting next to me nibbling on a bone cookie. 'How is he so calm, Skullina just passed out all of a sudden and still hasn't woken up, and he is eating freaking cookies' I grit my teeth and cross my arms trying to control my anger. If it's at the old man or at myself I don't know.
"She will be fine, so stop all your fussing." Undertaker mumbles with a half eaten cookie in his mouth. "I know you have something to say.~" he pokes my cheek with a long nail and smiles around the cookie. Making him look like a child that has just pulled a prank, and is waiting to see the results.
"I don't feel the need to share anything with you." I state firmly slapping his hand away, and glaring at him over the rim of my glasses.
"Eh... " Just as he is about to reply Skullina shoots up into a sitting position and screams out someones name. I cover my ears from the high pitched sound, while Undertaker seems unfazed. When she is done screaming she falls back on the bed, her eyes blank and lifeless. I'm hating that we pinned back her bangs now. I stand up and lean over her, I pat her cheek trying to get her attention.
"Skullina darling~ are you alright?" I ask staring into her red-silver eyes. She blinks after a minute and her gaze seems to return to normal. She sits up rubbing at the back of her head, and winces when she hits a certain spot.
"Skullina m'dear what did you dream~?" Undertaker asks walking up and checking the spot on her head where she winced. "You have a very high pitched scream." he says with a snicker. I watch as he carefully runs his fingers across the back of her head. He frowns suddenly pulling his hand back to reveal blood covered fingers.
"How can a dream cause you to bleed!" I shout at her and regretting it when I see her flinch. "Sorry didn't mean to yell at you..." I mumble looking at the ground.
"It's okay I know you can't help it. It's just how you are Grell, and I accept that bout you.." she says softly causing me to look up worried. I jump back n surprise when I see her smiling at me, but it is a weak smile that makes me scared for her. 'Whatever she dreamed of really took a toll on her, mentally and physically.' I think to myself sadly.
Undertaker grab's a rag and a bowl of water and starts to clean the wound. Skullina flinches whenever he has to apply more pressure. I sigh and slip off one of my gloves revealing my freshly painted red nails. I lightly bite one of my fingers not even feeling any pain. I hold my now bleeding finger to her lips, and she just stares at me confused.
"We have to make sure you heal in time for tomorrow. You've been asleep since around 12:00 pm yesterday." her eyes goes big when I say this, and I'm guessing she can't believe she slept that long. I push my finger against her lips but she doesn't open them. I sigh and look at Undertaker sending a silent plea for help. He smiles and nods his head, I watch as he presses down on the wound on Skullina's head. She cry's out in pain and I take the chance, slipping my finger in her mouth. She glares at me and i just smile back, making sure to show all of my lovely sharp teeth. I sit down next to her as I let her suck some of the blood off my finger. Undertaker is sitting behind her watching to make sure her head heals properly. After a few minutes Undertaker tells us she's healed, Skullina nods and starts using her own spit to heal my finger. I pull it out and replace my glove, then turn a serious stare on her.
"Are you going to tell us about it?" I ask even surprising myself at how serious and worried I sound. She looks at we with sad eyes but nods her head. She takes a deep breath then starts to tell us the horrible dream she had. And what she tells us makes even Undertaker lose his smile, the silver haired mortician seeming to actually hate the idea of death for once in his life.

Skullina POV:
I told them everything about my dream, a memory that has haunted me for years. I keep my gaze on my folded hands and lap, not wanting to see their faces
"Skullina." I flinch at the anger in Undertakers voice. 'Their mad at me, I knew they would hate me if I told them.' I feel my body start to tremble in fear. i let out a small yelp of surprise when I feel Undertaker pull me into his chest. He wraps his arms around me and squeezes me tight, and I start to have trouble breathing. "We aren't mad at you deary~. It wasn't your fault that any of that happened." I turn my body so that I can see his face, I move his bangs out of the way and stare into his eyes. He smiles and kisses me on the forehead, I giggle when I hear Grell growl a complaint. I turn to face him and am met with another kiss on my forehead, Grell pulls away with a mischievous grin. I blush and place a hand over my forehead, it's then that i realize that my bangs have been pinned up.
"Let's go home, I think I ow you two a good meal." I say climbing off the bed . They smile at me and stand to follow me out. We all head home and I make a large meal, with enough to have for lunch tomorrow. And for some reason they both decided to sleep in my room that night. They both slept on their own beds in the room, but still it made me happy that they wanted to be near me. I fell asleep after Undertaker started to hum some strange lullaby. I didn't dream this time, I simply fell into the deep void of sleep.
I woke up sometime during the night, for what reason I do not know. But a loud crash from outside makes me jump. I look out the window to see rain pouring down like a waterfall. I jump again when another roll of thunder echos across the sky, lightning illuminating the room. I bury myself under my covers squeezing my eyes shut and covering my ears with my hands. I hate myself for this having such a stupid fear. I can't remember why or when my fear of storms started. All I know is that whenever a storm happens I find myself hiding. My body starts to shake and every time the thunder strikes I whimper. I feel the bed dip down but feel to scared to see what it is. I just curl up into a ball hugging my knees to my chest. The covers are pulled back off of me and I open my eyes.
"Now why are you all curled up like a scared puppy?" Undertaker asks pulling me into a sitting position. I don't say anything, I just start playing with my braided hair. But apparently some strange force want's my every fear to be known. A loud clap of thunder and flash of lightning has me buried under the covers again. Undertaker chuckles lightly and pulls me back out, he lays back against the pillows and pulls me with him. "So little missy is afraid of thunder and lightning~" he says covering us up with the blankets. He positions me so that my head is on his chest and his arm is around my shoulders. I then realize that he isn't wearing his usual outfit. ( you all should know what he looks like with out his cloak/cape thing.) I can't see too well in the dark but it feels like a suit of sorts. The shirt has a line of buttons on the front and is long sleeved. His pants I cant see but I guess to be in a similar design, and his hat is nowhere to be seen. I flinch as the thunder echos again, and bury my face in his chest.
"How can Grell sleep through this.." I mumble into his chest my hand s clutching at his shirt
"But he isn't asleep M'dear~ 'snicker' He is glaring at me from his bed~" Undertaker says pulling my face up and turning it to face Grell. I can't help but laugh at the expression he has. He seems mad but not at me, and Undertaker just keeps giggling to himself. I motion for Grell to join us and he is at my side in an instant. We end up with Undertaker on my right and Grell on my left. Grell snuggles up to me laying his head on my shoulder, Undertaker wraps an arm around my waist. I blush when I realize how bad this would look if anyone saw us.
"If your scared just tell us next time. I don't want my darling Skullina to be shaking in fear." Grell whispers sleepily and pulling the covers up to his chin. A minute later I hear soft snores coming from the redhead. I sigh and look over to Undertaker, I can't see if he's asleep because of his bangs. I flinch again as the storm seem to get louder, I find myself being hugged by both my mates. Each of them having moved closer to me and an arm around my waist. I don't know why but all of a sudden I don't feel scared anymore. A strange warmth fills my body, making the storm seem to disappear. I close my eyes and rest my head on top of Grells, and letting sleep consume me once again.
