Magic Mirror: Broken Valentine Saga

Amazon Bunny- Nyeh heh heh heh! I'm back! With brand new muses!

Yuan- Martel, spare me...First I don't get paid money to do disclaimers...And now THIS!

Amazon Bunny- Aww, don't be like that...'sniffle sniffle'

Noishe- 'whine'

Amazon Bunny- Noishe is a muse BECAUSE..?

Noishe- 'growl'

Lloyd- Oh hey, Noishe, there you are.

Amazon Bunny- ...SHEESH!

Sheena- 'pops out of nowhere' You called?

Amazon Bunny- Someone just do the disclaimer...

Yuan- If you give me that twenty dollars you said...

Amazon Bunny- And if I run..?

Yuan- I have the Renegades surrounding your base. If you run, you will die.

Amazon Bunny- Money makes the world go round, don't it?

Yuan- Amazon Bunny does not own Tales of Symphonia, because if she did, it would be hell.

Amazon Bunny- For that last snippet, I'll subtract twenty dollars from your paycheck. 'shoots grappler hook at ceiling and disappears' Nyah ha ha ha!

Yuan- MY MONEY!

"Let's start at the beginning..," Raine mumbled to herself. "In the book Freya came down with some illness..." She drew lines in the dirt to represent her words. "And the symptoms are almost exactly alike. Could this be coincidence, or really a curse? And why was there a curse in the first place?" The Professor sighed and leaned back against the boulder.
"Just imagine if I didn't have that sickness, what would I be doing...?" She muttered. When she realized what she had said, she frantically shook her head. "No! I have to concentrate on curing myself, not dwelling on what could have happened!"

Everything was gone in a fire. Gone in a simple blaze. His town, his home, his...Freya. All reduced to cinders. There was an inside voice for him to say that this wasn't real. This wasn't real, it was all a big joke. If you look again, everything will be just the way it was, a happy, bustling town. Freya would be running towards him, her silver hair rippling out behind her, and her curse would be cured with the elixir.
But it wasn't to be.
After searching for reasons why the town had been burnt down, he came upon an old book. On the cover, there was a note attached to it. Strangely, it was the only thing that had survived the fire. He read:
"I hereby sentence this town to death...This village of sin deserves no sympathy. Housing a cursed half elven girl...Do you know what this means? The Curse of the Living Dead, a deadly, yet beautiful, way of murder. Whoever he or she touches in the last days of life will be infected with this curse, and it will spread, resulting in genocide..."
"Dammit!" Troy ripped apart the note, even though he had not finished reading it. "Freya, I'm sorry..." He pounded his fist into the dirt. "I promised I would save you. I promised I wouldn't make any more mistakes..."

Weeks had passed since the incident in the town. Troy had sought refuge in a small cabin in the forest, not far from the destroyed home. It was a horribly spent month, full of nightmares and screams and shadows of the past. Troy had somehow managed to finish eight bottles of whiskey, his eyelids drooping, the liquor taking effect.
If only he had gotten the elixir faster...

Raine screamed as the pain seared through her body. It was worse, much worse- from the previous. She felt terrible- pain ripping and clawing at her flesh, completely ripping apart her body. She screamed louder and louder, until she thought her lungs would collapse with exhaustion, as the pain got worse and worse. Clutching at the cursed marking, she literally tore the orange jacket off until her white shirt remained underneath.
The curse had spread across her entire torso and had infected her arms and legs.
"Raine!"
The Professor was huddled against the boulder, the lines of her research completely smothered.
"Raine!" The voices said again. "Raine, hang on!"
Opening her fading eyes, she made out blurry figures of Genis, Kratos, Colette, and Lloyd. Using a shaking hand, she reached out for her friends, fingers trembling...
"Help...me...," she whispered, and all went black around her.

"Is the Professor going to be okay?" Colette whispered to Genis, who was trembling outside the door. The group were huddled outside the bedroom door, at Raine and Genis' house, awaiting the news of Raine's recovery.
"I hope she is," was Genis' small reply.
"Relax, guys," Zelos whispered happily. "This is the Professor, after all. She won't give up without a fight."
A small, forced smile appeared in Genis' face.
"Zelos!" Sheena said quietly, but fiercely. "Shut up!"
The door opened, and the doctor walked out calmly. "The patient seems to be in a calm state now. The fever is reduced, the trembling stopped, but I can't get rid of the markings on her body."
"Body?" Kratos growled. Despite the fact that it was a doctor, and the procedure was needed, Kratos still felt inclined that he should rip out the guy's jugular and throw his carcass in the back alley for even so much as glancing at Raine's body.
"Markings?" Genis trembled even more. "Sis!" He ran into the room, and let out a scream.

Troy shuddered, and slumped on the edge of the bed. He was back in his hometown, the burnt, destroyed city. The remains of Freya still remained on the bed, in the same fetal position.
"Freya...wait for me. I'm coming...for you.."
The last bottle of whiskey he had downed contained a dose of poison. As the minutes passed, Troy felt the life being sucked out of him, until, at last, he too, perished, his hand still entwined with Freya's.

Raine's curse was totally visible to others, now, instead of just her and Kratos.
"Raine, Raine! What's happening to you?" Genis wailed, pounding his little fists on the edge of the mattress. "Sis!"
"Damn, if we knew this was going to happen..," Lloyd cursed. "Then...then..!"
"There's no use getting worked up over the past. The past is past, and we cannot change it," said Presea. "What we can do now is to look for a cure for Raine's illness."
The group was silent for a moment.
"It's not an illness,"Kratos said weakly, unlike himself. "She's not suffering from an illness."
"Then what is it?" Sheena demanded. "It's...it's...It has to be an illness! It can't be..." her eyes widened. Being aMizuhoan, sheimmediately figured it out."A...a curse?" she whispered. "No..."
Kratos nodded. "I knew about it...I saw the mark...in the beginning stage. And I...failed to do anything. I didn't even...search for a cure."
"What?" The rest of the group screamed. "You KNEW, and you didn't do anything!"
Kratos nodded. "I'm sorry."
"Well, gee, you think that came a bit late?" Sheena scoffed."You should say sorry to Raine and Genis!"
"It's-"
A loud, high-pitched scream cut Kratos off. There also seemed to be quite a ruckus outside, in Iselia. Zelos opened the door. "What's going on-" He swivled around. "Fire!" He yelled to the group. "Fire!"
"What?" said Colette.
"A fire! In Iselia! The town's burning!"Regal said, dashing towards the door after seeing the destruction. "There's some people still stuck. Everyone but Lloyd, Genis, and Kratos-" he signaled towards the door. "Come with me."
As they sprinted out the door, Genis began trying to heave his sister onto his back. "Help me!" He panicked.
"Move," Kratos commanded, and lifted the Professor into his arms. She was surprisingly light, and fit into his arms perfectly...
"Dad! Let's move!" Lloyd called impatiently.
