****************
Final Kiss II
****************

I ran to the velvet halls, they were after me. I felt my sweat run down my face, I had also felt my legs growing weaker. How weak? I could not tell, I couldn't even feel them. Then, I felt a chill down my spine. I turned around and saw him. That man, I could not see his face very well, it was as dark as dark could be. I saw his outline though, I was silly, I reached out to him. And...

"My Queen, you must wake up!" I felt someone shaking me.

"Ugh..huh? What is it now?" Steiner was there, I screamed. "What are you doing in my room?!"

He jumped back, "I-I am sorry, my Queen!" I rolled my eyes. Why must he stutter so? I guess I must live with it.

"Please, leave me, Steiner." I turned my head toward the tall window, I wonder what that dream was about? It felt but a minute of sleep, but the dream was yet, so long.

I opened the window and saw a flock of white doves glide away from me. Fortunetly, a dove stayed. I held my finger out to it, and it landed there. But wait...that had never happened to me before. I looked down at it's leg. There was a note. It read,

~I'm coming....
~Watch out....
~Because nothing can stop me....
~I'm waiting for you....
~I'm ready....
~To take you....
~To your grave.

I gasped, this must be a trick of some kind. It isn't funny. I sat down in my chair, I calmed myself down a bit and the dove flew away from me. I got up and threw the note out the window. I walked down the stairs. "Good morning everybody." There was silence. "Hello? Anybody?" I walked all aound the castle.

"Hello..?!" I realized I was walking faster, and before I knew it, I was running. Then, I stopped. I heard footsteps. They were coming closer, closer, closer. I heard it chant, "I'm coming.... Nothing can stop me.... I'm waiting for you.... I'm ready.... To take you.... To your grave."

My eyes widened. I looked to my left then my right. I could only find two doors. One I came in from, and the other that leads to the hall. I ran into the hall. Wait..this seems familiar somehow. I continued running.

I felt my legs grow weaker by the minute, I don't know how weak, I couldn't feel them. I stopped, I felt a chill down my spine. I turned around and saw it. My dream, is this my nightmare I was having just today? I reached out and felt it's face. It felt cool. It was wearing a dark cloak. The lights turned on suddenly. I saw it's face. It was a skull!

I fell down and heard it chant a couple of words,

"O, Spirits of Doom, grant thy wish. The Fair-Lady wishes to join our world of death. Doom her! Grant her wish! A life without thy love is unlivable! Grant her thy wish! Rise Spirits, RISE! DEATH SUMMONS THOU!"

I saw a dark shadow. It came out of the person, the one named Death. Death turned into ashes while the Spirits charged after me.

I have all this in my mind...
and Death wrote a letter to the citizens of Alexandria and stuck it in my hand. I only wish that everyone knew what happened....
