POV - Crystal/Ambrosine

It hurts.

It hurts so badly right now.

All I can feel is a burning sensation coursing through my veins. The pain is so strong if a had a voice I wound surly loose it from screaming. The voices are back and pounding against my mind nonstop. The images of the men and women return and play out like before. But this time they continue on the voices silent but their lips moving in speech. I watch as many children are dropped through portals by the older males. The mothers of the children being held back by a barrier of sorts. Tears stream down their faces as they pound their fists on the invisible shield. One of the men hugs a child to his chest tightly before sending it through a portal. He says something as the portal closes tears in his eyes as the image fades away. The next image that is shown to me is one of death and destruction. What looks to have been a once vast and beautiful city has been turned to ash and ruin. The bodies of the women and men are strewn about covered in blood. Suddenly I am looking through the eyes of one of the older women. She is being chocked to by a man with long black hair and glowing pink eyes. Their voices are muffled and I am unable to tell what they say, but what the man does next is unmistakable. In a swift movement he has bitten into her neck killing her in an instant. As the last bit of life leaves her I am pushed out of her in time to see what I had feared. The man has turned into a large spider with golden eyes and markings. The woman lying dead at his feet is turned away from me. Her long red and sea-green hair covered in her own blood.

'No...' I sink to the ground tears spilling from my eyes as darkness eats away at the images. I am left floating in the familiar darkness once more simply crying as the pain continues to plague my body. 'Why...Why must I see these things. And that man...was that what Claude meant about trouble between our kind.' A sudden warmth fills me and a bright light shines next to me. This warmth is far from comforting though. It is even hotter than the burning I went through during the visions. I feel as if even a sudden move will send me into a fit of pain. The light dims and I look over towards it from the corner of my eye.

'W -What is that!' I scream in my head as a blurry red shape forms in the light. As it gets closer I can finally tell what it is,a wolf. It is as tall as the mansion Alois owns and has long red fur and red eyes, the fur on the inside of the ears and tip of the tail are a sea-green. On its forehead is a large crystal in the shape of a full moon. As it gets closer the pain intensifies and becomes practically torture when it is right next to me. I don't know why but as I stare into the large familiar eyes of the beast I feel safe. Slowly I reach out my left arm and it closes its eyes and leans its head down. As soon as my fingers touch its nose all the pain vanishes and the creature turns into a wisp of smoke. The wisp shoots into my chest and a feeling of being complete enters my mind. I close my eyes again smiling for a reason I do not fully understand. The next time I open my eyes it is too a whole lot of new changes and utter chaos.

POV - normal/noone

It has been three days since Crystal had been brought into the hospital. Grell has refused to leave her side and even refuses to eat. Undertaker has been roaming around the library for unknown reasons. Will won't admit it but even he is worried for the girl, but it isn't hard to guess when he checks on her daily. Ronald has been locked in his room after he tried to run off and kill Claude. Yes you heard correctly Claude is still alive and kicking. Grell had managed to knock him out but decided it better to get Crystal away than to continue fighting. During these past few days everyone at London dispatch has been to put it simply, down in the dumps. No one could understand how one girl could have such an impact on everyone. And none would expect what was about to happen shortly. Will was just opening the door to Crystal hospital room when Grell lets out a happy squeal. Once he has fully entered the room he is greeted by the sight of Crystal siting up in bed. Grell has her in a death hug yet she seems to be loving it. Will walks up to the other side of the bed calmly, but o the inside he is smiling and thanking the gods she is awake. Grell looks up at him with teary eyes and a wide sharp toothed smile.

"Oh Willy~ Crystal is awake again!" The redhead shouts happily nuzzling his face in Crystals hair. He then shoots up startling Crystal and making Will sigh in annoyance. "I need to go tell Ronnie and Undertaker!" With that he rushes out of the room to do just that leaving a very confused Crystal behind. When Will looks back to her he is startled to find her pouting at the door. 'Wait was she actually liking how close Grell was to her then?' Will asks himself walking to the small closet in the corner of the room. He grabs all her things placing them in the connecting bathroom before returning to her side.

"Go and get cleaned up and dressed before he gets back with the others. I will go and inform the doctors and get you something to eat." Will says leaving as soon as he gets a nod form her he leaves the room. He is back within 30 minutes with a nurse who is holding a tray of food for Crystal. They enter the room to find Crystal sitting on the bed in her reaper outfit. (look back to chapter 9) She has tied her hair into two loose buns on the top of her head. The nurse sets the tray on the side table before facing the younger girl.

"I need to check your neck now so please be still for a moment." she says waiting for Crystals nod for her to touch her. The nurse starts to carefully unwrap the bandages around Crystal's neck. Just as she pulls the last bit of cotton and gauze away, Grell bursts through the door. Undertaker and Ronald are standing behind him in the hall, one laughing lowly and the other facepalming himself. At the sight of the two fang marks they all stiffen and a tense aura fills the room. The nurse oblivious to it all simply continues to check the wounds. "Well the wound is healing properly so you should be able to go home today. As for the scar their is nothing we can do about really. Scythe wounds are a permanent way to mark a shinigami and tricky to stitch together." The nurse tosses the used bandages in a trash bin and washes her hands in the sink in the corner of the room. "Whoever fixed you up did a great job to say the least."

"Wait Crystal was hurt with a scythe!" Grell practically screams rushing to the very confused girls side. As soon as his arms are around her though she seems to calm down. Her eyes go blank and she looks to be in some kind of trance. She doesn't even react as the nurse lifts her chin slightly so her neck is more visible. And as the nurse stated a scar wrapping around Crystals throat can be seen. The markings are nearly an exact copy of Undertakers scars on his own neck and face. At the sight of them the mortician frowns and moves closer to her tracing a long nail across the slightly raised skin. At his touch Crystals eyes flash red and she starts to squirm in Grell's arms.

"Crystal calm down it's just Undertaker darling!" Grell says his voice strained as he tries to hold her down. During all her struggling her hair has come loose of the buns and fallen to lay over her shoulders. Everyone freezes at what they see on top of her head. Crystal sensing a chance to get away does so launching herself at Undertaker. She begins to nuzzle into his chest with her arms wrapped around him tightly. The fuzzy red ears on her head perked up and a matching tail lifting the back of her skirt slightly is wagging happily. Undertaker blinks slowly behind his bangs a confused grin on his face before bursting into a fit of giggles.

"What the heck are those!" Ronald shouts pointing at Crystal's new ears with wide eyes. " And why the heck is she clinging to Undertaker?" Said mortician only giggles more wrapping an arm around Crystal and patting the girl on the head. Grell is just about start yelling at him when the nurse speaks up.

"If you are going to start fighting I will have to ask you all to leave. But on another note yes it is a scythe wound and no we don't know what kind of scythe was used yet. It may not have even been a scythe from a reaper, demons and angels also use similar weapons." she looks at Crystal with a small smile pointing to the tray of food behind her. "You need to eat and then meet with the doctor assigned to you." Crystal nods her head against Undertakers chest causing the man to giggle again and the nurse leaves the room.

"Well old man you seem to know something we don't so spill it!" Grell shouts at the older reaper getting a growl in response. "Did she just..." Grell is cut off by another small growl from Crystal when he tries to pull her away from Undertaker. He backs away frowning and mumbling about his daughter not loving him anymore.

"Calm down m'dear it will pass and she will be her usual self again." Undertaker says moving Crystal and himself to the bed so she can eat. Her ears flatten against her head in suspicion as the others all sit down close to them. But she is soon distracted by her food and Undertaker takes the chance to speak.

"As all of you know she is not a simple human, shinigami, demon, or angel. But in truth a mix of all the bloods and the powers that come with them." the others all nod yes so he continues on his voice deep and for once in his life non-giggly. "It seems our 'friend Mr. Faustus decided to activate her demon side. And I hope I don't have to explain in to much detail as to why."

"Like all of the immortal races he is trying to bind her to them." Will states pushing up his glasses and sending a sharp look towards Crystal.

"Bind her? Willie you don't mean he was trying to-" Grell starts but is cut off by Crystal letting out a small bark like noise. She has finished her food and is trying to get Undertakers attention again by 'pawing' at his sleeve.

"Yes Sutcliff he was trying to mate her." Will says seeming to ignore Crystals actions by continuing the conversation. Undertaker snickers at this and lifts his arm patting the spot next to him. Crystals ears perk up and she lets out a happy bark moving to cuddle into his side.

"To answer your obvious questions she is more than likely clinging to me for that exact reason." Undertaker states resting his arm around Crystals waist and looking towards the others with his head tilted slightly.

"Wait what?" Ronald says scratching his head and sending a very confused look towards the elder reaper. Will sighs and even Grell has to facepalm at the blonds stupidity.

"Knox she has a pair of dog-"

Wolf actually Willie boy~" Undertaker interrupts scratching one of said ears causing Crystal to close her eyes and lean into him.

"Wolf ears then, and since this comes from the demon side what do you think her mating instincts would be?" Will finishes watching with slight annoyance at the fact Crystal is snuggling into Undertaker's side.

"Demon mating instincts..." Ronald trails off in thought as he processes what was said. Grell seems to snap at this point turning to yell at the boy with flushed cheeks.

"FOR GODS SAKE RONNIE HE MEANS SHE THINKS UNDERTAKER IS THE ALPHA!" The redheaded reaper yells causing his 'daughter to whimper and cover her ears. At this fact all men get a noticeable blush and it doesn't help when they all notice the door open with a very shocked Dr. Lilac.
