~Tira's POV~

It had all occurred so fast as Marron went to his brother's side, only a moment ago we had been smiling joking like normal. Then in the span of a heartbeat all of it was turn to sorrow as tears stream down my face. Tears that flow so forcefully and so freely that I found myself helpless to aid Marron as he begs his brother not to leave him. Tears that course down my cheek so painfully and constantly that it prevented me from comforting my sister as she sob upon his breathless chest. Tears that rack my body so with my own sobbing that it kept me rooted to that spot as Gateau drops to his knees beside me. Tears that would not bring him back, but only made me wonder and doubt myself even more.

"Why had this happen?"

It was later that same day that Big Mama approached us and examined him. My face as were the others still wet with tears. It only took her a moment; she seem so cold then, for she neither tried to lighten the blow or take the sting out of hearts about it. She found out what had been wrong. It would seem that his heart had stop while he was unconscious, or at least that is what she told us. For what reason, she herself did not know. She just simply told us that there was nothing anyone could have done. It just didn't seem believable. Carrot was health and young, there was no reason for his heart to simply stop. I didn't even realize that my tears had stop until I found tears a new spouting from my eyes, as I thought more and more about what she had just said. Carrot the same stupid loud mouth pervert whom had been beaten up more times than I can count had died from heart failure. A stupid heart failure, it seemed so unfair to me. After everything we have been through after all the danger and the times when I thought it was over for us it would end like this. Something else had to be the matter and this suspicion was made worst when she insisted on taking the body from us. She said that she wanted to give the body a burial fitting a Sorcerer Hunter, but everyone knew that Carrot wanted to be bury back at his old home or with a bunch of pretty girls surrounding him. We never took the other choice very seriously, but the burial at home was an honest last request. Marron, of course, insisted on him taking Carrot home, but Mama's will was stronger and the argument was quickly ended. Marron obviously was not happy with this decision, but what could he do? Fight big Mama for him? Carrot was then take from us in an instant by Mille. His eyes brimming with tears as he took him.

"Sorry," was his only reply and we were all transported to the church. Here Big Mama told us when the funeral would be and insisted that we spent the time until then here. No one was really in a mood to argue after that and everyone retired for the night to his or her own separate rooms. The church had plenty of that of course with only Mama, the Haz Knights, and Daughter living here.

And so, here I sat and spent that day in tears, for this was my day for mourning. Tomorrow, I would try to find out what had really happen to Carrot, and who or what had done it to him. As for today, I cry.

Tears of blue falling down

Is it my fault you are no longer around?

Ready was I always to be by your side

At times I wonder why I didn't die?

Darkness on top of darkness, that was where Carrot found himself as hellish beast from his worst nightmares hiss and sputter as his heels. Where was he? What had happen to him? These questions came and went as quickly as a sparrow in flight as he tried to keep one step ahead of the snapping jaws behind him as he feet treaded on nothingness. For there was no ground beneath them, and nothing above them, but yet he didn't fall. He was suspended in the air in the nothingness, but yet moving was the same as if he was on the ground. His running did get him somewhere, but where was still the question as he searched franticly for somewhere to climb up to get out of the reach of the beasts.

"Listen you don't want to eat me," Carrot replies as he continues his long strides," I'm too thin and boning." "If you let me go I'll get you a nice steak or something," he cries out as one of the beast jaws snaps just short of his rear and he adds more speed to his flee.

"Carrot!" a voice calls to him in the opposite directions of his run. "Carrot come back to ussssss." It suddenly hisses as the beasts vanish from behind him. "We tire of your gamesssssss come to ussss asssss we have come to you time and time again."

Bewilder by the suddenly disappearance of the monsters, with the sudden call of the voice Carrot stops in his tracks.

"Come to usssss asssss we have come to you Carrot," the voice replies again. Carrot then looks over his shoulder, still seeing nothingness, but now very sure of the source of the voice and replies back," Who are you?"

Nothing… Carrot waited a few more seconds before he repeats the question again, but still the voice did not answer him. "Humph, I guess I'm hearing things." He then turn and start to walk away.

"CARROT!" the voice screech. "Do not walk away come to ussssss like we came to you."

"Oh so you do want me," Carrot smiles as he stops in his tracks again. "Now who are you?"

Again his question was answer with silences. "Fine, then I'm out of here," Carrot smirks and starts to turn around. Then in a flash the entire area was filled with light and Carrot comes face to face with the speaker.

(Author's note) Yeah, the second part is done! I'm wonder is this too confusing? Is Tira OOC or in any character at all? Is my grammar and uses of tense any better? Please review and let me know. Bye-for-now.
