Chapter Ten---End of Heart Break

Cale looked around. Everyone was gone. Dante was no where to be found. He couldn't even feel Sade in his mind, like he normally could. The house was completely empty. No one was at the beach.

The waves slammed the shore line viciously and the sky loosed a torrential downpour,thunder and lightening ravaging the night sky. Cale slowly became aware that he was terrified.

A laugh filled his ears and he searched frantically for it, hoping to find some sign of life. But he found nothing. However, soon a familiar turn of events made his stomach turn.

There on the hill, stood Dante. Older, taller, deadly. Cale could see that even against the rain, his silver hair stood in perfect spikes like always, though this time Cale only felt the need to get as far away from his brother as he could.

Cale saw figures approaching, a small group of them and soon he recognized them. Sade, Eden, Stone and Aden. Aliriael was nowhere to be seen. Cale turned back to Dante. Correction,Aliriael stood still as stone beside Dante, her pistols drawn.

Another laugh filled the air and Cale was aware of a figure behind Dante. That face... She had those dual colored eyes, just like the girl from his very first nightmare. The one that started it all. She whispered in Dante's ear and his grip on his gunblade tighened, hate in his glazed eyes. Aliriael raised her gun and fired. Eden cried out in pain, blood seeping from the wound in her shoulder.

"Dante! Snap out of it! You've got to pull away!" Sade screamed, fear and anger in her trembling voice. She didn't want to hurt Dante. No one did.

"Pull away from what? My dream? I was born for this, like my father was." His voice was funny, as if he hadn't used it in a long time. Or like it wasn't even his. Dante drew closer to the others, Aliriael close behind him. Cale's stomach sank as he watched them all raised their weapons, prepared to fight.

Aden and Stone lept into action and when it was apparent they couldn't handle Dante on their own, Sade fought too. Even from Cale's spot on the hill, he could see the tears she tried to keep down. Something drew his attention to Aliriael. The silver-blonde woman was whispering to her now and Aliriael nodded, waiting for something.

"Dante!" Dante turned to her seemingly helpless call and when he did, Aden's sword was driven through his chest. Astonishment was as evdient as the pain in Dante's jade orbs. Eden rushed Aliriael, only to have a bullte lodge in her head. Aden and Stone turned to their new threat. Aliriael smirked as horrow grew in Sade's eyes, watching her sister raised her twin guns simultaneously and fire.

All was silent for a moment. The kind of silence where it seems as though the entire world mourns in a single moment. Cale watched the scene, unaware of the tears streaming down his cheeks.

Aden and Stonefellto the cold, wet ground, blood staining the grass. Aliriael was just as lifeless, Sade's sword having struck the fatal blow. Sade sank her blade into the grown, leaning on the hilt as she fell to her knees, a primitive, sorrowful cry tearing its way from her throat, the bodies of her friends strewn across the muddy battle field.

Sade was all alone again, everyone she loved had turned on each other and killed. They were all gone.

All gone.

A.n: Sadness.

Sorceress Fujin: -laughs- Hope you enjoyed. I'm off to read the next chappy in BofW hehe. I love it so far. Rocks my non-exsistent socks, like always. Hope this chapters up to par with your expectations! -hands you coffee- It's been a long weekend and its only Saturday. -sigh-

Jack Hanek: I'm not sure if it will be a Aden/Stone extrapolation. If it is, then it will be fairly minor, since I'm not experienced in shounen ai. lol. For some reason it just seemed right for the two. But I wish to express the fact that the happenings and such in this story in no way reflect my own personal beliefs or opinions nor in anyway reflect my own lifestyle. Just so you know lol.

Cale's not girly, he's just used by Eden because he never can say no to her. He can't stand for the others to not be happy though often times he just so wrapped up in his head he doesn't even notice Eden experimenting on him. Poor guy. He'll get more manly (though retain said girlish quirks) as he gets older, which shall be soon hehe. Yes Aden left. And I'm am just full of surprises (I'm not quite sure if this is always good though) and you're a smart man for not judging so soon! -applauds you-Till Next time my friend. No coffee for you, you think to much so you go sleep, you don't need more awake time! -hoard's the coffee-

Jasmine:No offense taken. Hoped you noticed my comment in Bloodless about the service. Cloud, yes hehe intersting indeed. I'm not sure how much he'll have to do with the story other then the fact that he is Aden's instructor at Trabia. -gives you coffee-

Becca: -- weirdo. Back off meh Fujin!lol Woot, I'm a Goddess! Score for me! Nope not scarier then teh Muse. Just a lot weirder. -Huggles Edgar- How come he's the nice one?
