Chariot Du Nord knew that she was an unlucky person, everything in her life has proved so. However, this was a level of misfortune that she did not know she'd ever reach. The world went silent as she stared into emerald eyes that she grew to trust, but now, she couldn't help but lower gaze, unable to face them.

"Chariot, please say something." Croix begged, but the redhead only took a step back, refusing to look at her.

The redhead's heart was sinking, and she remembered her first meeting with her servamp. Would she have killed those two guys if she wasn't there?

If she killed an Eve once, does that mean she would…

No, of course not… She wouldn't, right?

"I'm sorry, I want to go home." Chariot turned and started walking away, and the lilac haired woman couldn't bring herself to follow her. She knew this was coming, she didn't expect anything else.

She knew the consequences, but it still hurt like hell.

Chariot walked towards Marjolaine, who has been staring at her phone, bored. Her friend looked up and frowned when she saw the somber expression on her face.

"Chariot? Are you okay? Where is Croix?" She asked, putting a hand on her best friend's arm. The model's frown deepened. She wasn't ready to talk about it, or to even think about it, she just wanted to go home.

"I'm sorry Marjo, but I'm going home."

"Well, I'm not letting you walk back alone." Marjolaine said, following her outside. Her friend was obviously out of it, and she wondered if it had to do with her servamp. Walking after her, she noticed how she almost walked into someone, and absentmindedly apologized to them.

This… was familiar and bad.

The rock star felt like she was looking at the Chariot from a few years ago, the one who walked around with no aim or purpose, and her fear only increased when she saw her friend's reaction to the beeping of a car.

Chariot flinched, and suddenly, she was scared. The sounds of cars, their wheels, and in the deepest corner of her mind there was a crash and the strong smell of blood and the blurry view of the two seats before her and the broken glass.

She was shaking, and she had no idea why she would think of that now of all times, and it made no sense yet here she was, reliving something that she didn't want to remember.

She was aware, too aware of her surroundings, and on most days it wouldn't bother her at all.

She was frozen in place, and a concerned Marjolaine put her hands on her shoulders, trying to snap her out of it.

"Chariot! Hey! Can you hear me?" She called to her, but there was no answer. She then turned to see a worried and guilty Croix staring at them. She followed them outside to see how her Eve was doing. "Croix! What is wrong with her? Did you do something?"

Croix remained silent, not sure what to say to her. Fortunately she didn't have to answer because her Eve turned to her, and without looking at her she held on weakly to her sleeves, as if scared or lost.

"Please take me home." She whispered, loud enough for her servamp to hear. There was something untrusting about the way she held on weakly to her, but she figured she was her only way of getting home as quick as possible.

Croix closed her eyes, almost painfully, before opening them. She put her arms around her, careful not to upset her any further, and in the blink of an eye, they were both gone.

Marjolaine stared in a daze, then looked around and put both hands on her hips, disappointed. "Fine, I guess I'll walk."

-L&M-

Akko and Diana sat alone on a bench at the park. They separated from the others, and it was the brunette's request.

Frank and Andrew left, and Lotte and Sloth were left alone to talk and see if they could form a contract.

And now… It was just Akko and Diana.

Akko for once, had a serious expression on her face. She was staring far away, and her hands were clenched together. The servamp of pride crossed her arms, and stared at her silently. She was already dreading this conversation, feeling as if she would suffocate if she sat there any longer.

And for what felt like eternity, she finally spoke.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Diana's eyebrows furrowed and she looked away. "That is none of your business. What happens between us servamps is only between us." She answered, thinking that her Eve would drop the subject. To her dismay, it only fuel not only her curiosity, but also her frustration.

"All you ever do is fight and argue Diana! I don't understand what your problem is! I don't understand anyone's problem, and this new sibling of yours that we just met made me question my excitement to have servamps around!"

Diana stared for a moment, unsure of how to react to the sudden outburst. Did Lawless' actions really anger her that much? Or was there something else? Was it pent up frustration?

Did Diana cause it thanks to her pride?

"And then there is Croix… or should I say All of Love?! I don't know what she did to hurt you but I think anyone can see how heartbroken she is when you say all these awful things about her!" Akko said, shaking from anger. She was shaking from everyone time she decided to not speak up about everything she was seeing, she was furious. This wasn't like her, but this was what she needed to say much sooner. "You always treat me like an idiot Diana! But you're just as stupid because all of this could be solved if you would just talk to each other!"

Akko was now panting, looking at a wide eyed servamp. She hated being angry, she really hated it but… Akko only had Chariot as family. She only had her sister, and for her to see so many siblings fighting with each other and running away from the problems between them was hard to watch.

Akko lost her parents, and ever since that day… It was just the two of them.

"I'm sorry." She quickly said, and looked down. "It's none of my business like you said. I'm going home." She turned to walk away, but stopped at the voice of her servamp.

"Her real name is All of Love, but she no longer uses it." Diana said, and for the first time ever since they met… Her Eve saw sadness in her eyes, that she tried to hide by looking at anything but her. Always focused on keeping her pride intact. "She stopped using it then she left us all behind. You don't know her, Akko, so why are you defending her?"

The brunette's expression softened, as she finally saw a sight of her servamp that she hasn't before. She thought about it, and she knew that she was right. She didn't really know Croix, but…

"I guess, she and my sister are alike." Akko answered, and Diana looked at her with a raised eyebrow. She couldn't deny that Chariot reminded her of how All of Love used to be, but she was different now, so what kind of resemblance was she talking about.

"They're complete opposites."

"That's because you didn't look well enough." Akko smiled, then started walking home.

Diana followed her, confused and unsure. A part of her knew that her Eve was right, but her pride…

Just… how much was her pride getting in the way?

No… Of course not…

Meanwhile on another street, walked Lotte and Sloth. The bookworm's hands fidgeted as she nervously fixed her glasses' position. Everyone left her alone with a vampire, and while she was concerned for Akko -who seemed out of character- she couldn't wait to give her a piece of her mind for leaving her like this.

The vampire was silent, she hasn't said a word since the others left.

What was she supposed to do? This was the first time she has ever seen a real one, and while it was something she has dreamed about ever since she started reading Nightfall, that didn't make the situation any less awkward or worrying.

"So… You're a vampire?" She started, with a hesitant tone. This was the best thing she could think of, starting the conversation with that question even though it was a dumb one.

"Yeah, I got the fangs and all." Sloth opened her mouth to show off her teeth, and Lotte gulped. Those looked sharp and clean and she couldn't stop staring at them. Now how would these fangs feel like-

Lotte quickly shook her head and tried to focus. After years of reading NightFall, she developed a fascination with fangs.

"And you want me to be your… Eve or something?" She asked.

"Not really, but I guess you're the best choice I have."

"Wow…" Lotte felt disappointed, this one did not hold back on being mean. "You're supposed to be a servant too, right?"

"You've got the memo, but I'm a bit of a rebel and I don't serve people. I would like a master who can feed me, pet me, and carry me everywhere and take care of me." Sloth said, and watched as the other girl's eyes darkened.

"What do I get out of this?" Lotte carefully asked, squinting at her.

"You get to create your vampire fantasies, I guess."

"WHAT?"

"What? I said fantasies, unless your fantasies are dirty."

-L&M-

Croix sat on the couch, then buried her face in her palms. She let out a loud groan, but not loud enough to reach upstairs, where her Eve was.

Once they walked in, Chariot went upstairs without a word, and she couldn't go after her.

That's it. She ruined it, again.

What was the point of all of this? What was the point of being an immortal if she was just going to lose in the end?

She was stupid… She was just a bad luck charm.

She sighed and took in her hands the cross she wore. Gently touching it with her thumb, she wondered just how fragile it was, how much power she'd have to put in her grip to break it. How fragile this immortality would be if she tightened her grip just a little…

Sighing, she let go. She sank into the couch, and and closed her eyes.

Chariot would no longer want her around, her siblings hated her ever since she left… What was she supposed to do? Where was she supposed to go?

Why not just break herself or have someone break her? That way she'd no longer ruin anyone's life.

Fortunately, she didn't have to sit alone with her thoughts any longer, because Akko and Diana walked in.

"Hey Croix! Weren't you supposed to come home later?" Akko asked, before jumping right beside her. Diana just watched them silently, curious to find any signs of why Akko saw more to her than she could.

"Yeah but I ruined it…" Croix admitted with a bitter chuckle. She ran a hand through her hair. "I made her upset, and… I don't know what happened but she was acting off, as if scared of something."

"Oh…" Akko said softly, realizing what might have happened. She knew now where her sister was and what she would do for the rest of the day. She looked at Croix and how sad she was, and she decided to move closer and lean her head on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Croix's eyes widened, and she remained silent for a few seconds before answering honestly because she couldn't bring herself to lie to someone like Akko. "No, I'm not."

Diana watched them, and felt a tightness in her chest. She shouldn't be upset, she shouldn't feel replaced because she was the one always pushing her away, and yet seeing her with Akko like that…

Eventually, she couldn't look anymore, so she went upstairs.

Why was she like this? So full of pride that she was pushing away someone she loved after centuries of not seeing her? What kind of fool was she?

She stopped before Chariot's room, and raised her hand to knock, only to hesitate. What was she supposed to say?

Shaking that thought away, she knocked on the door, and was met with silence. She thought it wouldn't open, so she turned to leave.

"Diana…?" The door opened, to reveal a tired Chariot. Her face was red and some parts of it were wet, a sign that she has been crying and has tried to wipe it quickly. "Do you… need something?" Her question made Diana's features soften. She had to admit, she took a liking to this human ever since their first meeting.

"I wanted to check if you're okay."

"Oh… I'm fine!" Chariot said, forcing a smile and waving her hands around. She put on the mask so quickly, but the signs of crying blew her cover. "I might just have another cold! There is nothing to worry about!"

And in that moment, that short moment, she might have seen what her Eve meant.

Because in that moment she remembered when All of Love would flinch when touched, and quickly hug herself and back away. How she would quickly brush it off and say she was fine and send them a smile. Or how empty her eyes would look despite her trying to hide it and pretending that everything was alright…

They were truly alike.

"Diana? What are you doing here?" They both looked to the side to see Akko walking towards them.

"Nothing, I'll leave you two alone." The servamp of pride said, before leaving to Akko's room.

The brunette eyed her then shrugged and turned to the redhead. Chariot put away the mask, and walked inside to sit on her bed and hug a pillow. Neither of them needed to hide anything at the moment, in times like these, they only had each other.

"Did it happen again?" Akko asked, sitting next to her. Chariot just nodded, not daring to speak a word. Those flashbacks, weren't something new. They were something that would come back to haunt her whenever she thought she was done with them. "And… Did Croix hurt you?"

Chariot's grip tightened on the pillow, but then she let it go, as tears started to fall down again. "No…"

Akko didn't think she should ask more, so instead she suggested what they would always do whenever one of them was feeling down.

"Do you want to watch some stuff until we both get bored and fall asleep?" Her suggestion made the red head chuckled softly and try to wipe the new tears.

"What would I do without you, Akko?" Chariot asked, pulling her into a hug.

"Probably have less bills to pay?"

"I could spend the rest of my life paying bills if it meant having you around." Chariot answered, making the brunette tear up a little and giggle, leaning into the hug.

-L&M-

Lotte sighed as gave Sloth some food. She didn't understand why the servamp would take the cat form to eat, but to each their own. Despite her protests, she ended up following her home. Fortunately, she managed to sneak everything into her room without her parents noticing.

"Can you go home after you eat? I don't want any trouble." Lotte sighed, sitting on her bed, and watching the cat eat to her heart's content. "Besides, I can't make such a big decision like this. I barely know you."

"You're not supposed to know us. We're servants, just that." Sloth said, and started licking herself, something that the other girl found a bit unsettling. "We're not supposed to like or want anything, we were just made to serve."

"But that's… wrong."

"I wouldn't know about right or wrong, I'm not human." Sloth commented, before jumping on the bed, and braiding a place to sleep. "I'll spend the night here if you don't mind. I'll leave tomorrow."

"Hey, you're not upset, right?" Lotte asked, checking on the cat. She reluctantly put a hand on her head, petting her. "Akko is impulsive at times She's great at making all these fast decisions… even if some of them lead up to accidents, but I'm not like her. I wish I could be like her sometimes, but right now, I can't take you as my servamp if I just met you."

"That's okay. If you said yes right away that would have been predictable." The cat yawned. "If there is one thing I've learned about life, it's that once it gets predictable, it becomes boring."

Lotte thought about it, then stared at the books on her desk, before taking one of them and opening it.

What's better to clear her mind than her favorite books?

Hours passed, and in another house, paced a nervous Croix. Chariot hasn't left her room all day, and Akko even took their dinner upstairs.

She ran a hand through her hair, worried and upset. She shouldn't have told her… She should have lied to her…

"Damn it… You promised yourself you wouldn't get attached." She scolded herself, as she felt a hole growing in her heart. She couldn't imagine how she'd feel if Chariot no longer looked at her, or smiled at her…

She was truly an idiot.

With a sigh, she turned to check on her, but stopped when she saw Diana staring at her with an unreadable expression.

"Why do you do this to yourself?" Diana asked, but this time, her voice was devoid of any accusations. It was only filled with sad curiosity.

"I don't know." Croix answered, honestly. "I really don't know…" With that, she headed to her Eve's room, and the sin of pride was left alone, sitting on the couch with crossed arms.

"I guess he didn't name you All of Love for nothing…" Queen said, as a single tear fell down. "I wish you didn't love so much."

Croix of course, didn't hear her, as she was already in front of the door. There was no noise coming from inside, so she pushed her hesitation away, and slowly opened it, only to be met with the sight of the sisters sleeping, and a laptop thrown somewhere on the bed.

She let out a sigh of relief, perhaps because a part of her wasn't ready for those eyes to try and avoid her, yet another part was extremely disappointed to find her asleep.

She smiled softly, feeling warm at the sight of them asleep. There were times in the past where she and her siblings would spend nights together.

Back when they loved her…

She removed the laptop and put it on the desk, then sat at the edge beside Chariot. She watched her fondly, her chest rising and lowering with every breath, her soft and peaceful expression…

The lilac haired woman moved her hand to pull her hair away from her face, then stopped. She quickly removed her hand and used the blanket to cover her better instead.

She stood up, and left the room, but did not move away from the door once she was outside.

Little did she know, that Chariot was awake. The redhead sat up, and stared at the closed door. She wanted to stop her from leaving, she wanted to go after her, so she got up and walked to the door and reached out to the handle then stopped.

They both stood at each side of the door, wanting… No, hoping to speak to each other. But instead, they both moved away from the door, feeling as if a part of them was missing.
