A/N: you know what? I'm not done yet! :D

Touches of Evil

Dream a new

Gasping loudly, the girl sat up in her bed, her nightgown drenched in cold sweat. She held her chest as it rose up and down quickly, her heart beating fast. Her emerald eyes scouted the room she was in, yet no familiar sign was found. She blinked, her dreams beginning to fade. There were two. One, in which she was with her friends… At least they seemed to be her friends. The other… She shuddered.

She stood up, once again examining the foreign room. It was quiet fancy, the bed huge and the room filled with expensive looking furniture. Outside the balcony she gazed at the city. It was a beautiful city, yet life seemed deprived of it. The few people that were outside seemed terrified.

'What happened?'

Seeing that there was no point in remaining there, the girl turned from the balcony to find a full length mirror right across the room. She carefully walked towards it, and looked at it for quite a while. She blinked, as did her reflection.

She first felt her face. Gentle, pretty face with soft skin and somewhat pale skin with a few sunburns. Her green eyes showed childishness that was beyond her, and her long purple hair gave her face an extremely feminine frame.

Her fingers went down her slim body, and she gazed at her arms. They were far more muscular than what seemed fitting a young woman. Her nails were decorated with ruined nail polish. A scar or two decorated her shoulder.

She stared at her reflection.

"Is that really… me?"

"Indeed. And as beautiful as ever, princess."

She turned around, surprised more than scared. She knew, deep in her heart, that she had nothing to fear from the man.

"P, princess?"

He gently walked to her and touched her cheek. She looked into his eyes and smiled slightly.

"I'm glad to see you've awakened. Your mother and friends are waiting for you."

She seemed confused, and he laughed a bit.

"Shower in there, and there's a set of clothes for you to change into when you're done. I'll be waiting outside, princess."

He turned to leave, when she bit her lip, and silently asked, more than said:

"Vi, Victor…"

His blue eyes laughed as he turned to her again.

"Yes, princess. Now get changed, I'll be waiting outside."

The door closed and she looked around again. Looking back and forth between the door leading to the shower and the bed, her attention was suddenly grasped by a blue-red amulet lying on the nightstand. She carefully picked it up, its warmth sending waves of sweet, tender emotions through her. She closed her eyes as tears began to fall. Then, alone in her room, she collapsed on the floor, sobbing and crying loudly, not really knowing why.

A/N: well, you wanted more, and I wasn't that happy with the way the ending came out, and I got this idea… REVIEW!
