~*~ Peacecraft Manor ~*~

~*~ 9:27 AM ~*~

Noin snuck out of Trey's bedchambers. She looked around the hall for any guards that might be roaming the castle. Lucretia checked her gun, she had used all but one of the bullets in her gun. Sure, one would have ended Trey's life, but Noin was angry. She crept past an open door with out even bothering to look inside.

"Lucretia," A voice called her name out. The voice was familiar, low and soft. It had to be...

"Zechs," Noin murmured, "Now we can be together."

"You would think that, Lucretia," Zechs said. He stood up as she walked further into his office. Zechs embraced Noin, surprising her with the hug.

"Perhaps you don't realize it, Lucretia," Zechs started. He now had Noin's weapon and was checking it to see if it was loaded. He continued, "I took a vow to love Trey forever, and for all eternity. That does span beyond our mortal lives."

Noin mindlessly nodded, still wondering how he had gotten her gun. He must have taken it when he hugged her.

"You sent my wife to Heaven." Zechs said softly.

"Zechs, I just wanted to be with you," Noin told him. She walk even closer to him, and wrapped her arms around him. She tightly closed her eyes as Zechs began to speak again. She didn't listen to his words, only his deep soothing voice.

"You must be punished for your sin. And I need to rejoin Trey in Heaven." Zechs said. He put the gun against his temple and fired the gun's last bullet into his head.

Noin felt Zechs' body go limp in her arms. His soul had passed on to the next world and Noin was left to support Zechs' earthly body. She heard the gun clattered on the ground and she panicked. What will the guards think? Will they think that Noin shot Zechs? They'll find his prints on the gun too, right? She looked at Zechs' gloved hands. Damn. Two guards stormed in the room and started shouting. To Noin it all sounded incoherent. A few more guards showed up and took care of Zechs' body while the first two arrested Noin.

"Goodbye, Zechs!" Noin called out.

The End
