"Qua…where am I?"

Ahiru looked around and saw that she was put in an enormous birdcage with white feathers inside of it. Everything else was pitch black.

Shaking the bars, she protested, "Hey, get me out of here!"

"Why should I?" someone answered behind her. The voice sounded feminine.

Ahiru was right. The girl was wearing a black tutu, quite similar to the one that Kraehe used to wear. "You're just pathetic, so we'll turn you into something useful."

Another person emerged behind her, and it was a man wearing a black cape. He was holding a raven's feather. Ahiru jolted and tried to break free of the cage.

The man threw the feather at her hand, piercing it. "No! I don't want to become a raven!" It was too late. Black feathers covered her body. Then, they faded away, completing the transformation. Ahiru was turned into Princess Tutu, but her outfit was entirely black. Even her heart. Tutu's eyes were crimson red.

"Slave of Princess Envy, will you go get me my knight?" the girl asked of Princess Tutu. She nodded and vanished, leaving some feathers behind.

Fakir was sitting on top of the roof's dorm, blaming himself for Ahiru's kidnapping. "I failed, didn't I…?"

Suddenly, he heard whistles coming from the wind. He shot up and saw Princess Tutu, well, the dark one.

A warm smile came up on his face. "Ahiru! I'm so glad you're—"

She shot Fakir a glare, which was not normal. "You're so idiotic," Tutu said to him coldly. "The pathetic Ahiru you used to know is gone now."

Fakir's smile was wiped clearly off his face. "What happened to you?"

She chuckled. "You can't even protect the one you've been in love with for so long. Face it! You, Fakir, are a failure as a knight. Your role in this story is over—"

Her aching heart interrupted Tutu's selfish words. Fakir noticed this, and also her eyes changing color constantly.

"I'm sorry…Fakir."

Tutu swept her hands over to her waist, summoning a black tornado and making her vanish into thin air.

Fakir fell to his knees in disbelief. "You're a failure as a knight! Your role in this story is over!"

"Princess Envy…"

Tutu was stumbling and walking very slowly to her master. "Ahiru is coming back…" she whispered, her eyes still changing color over and over.

Princess Envy snickered and inserted another raven's feather into her body. Tutu's eyes stayed crimson this time, for the moment.

Suddenly, Tutu fainted. Princess Envy thought, "Her feelings are still coming back to her, even after all that raven's blood and feathers? Maybe she's not a weakling after all."

Envy created a shard of glass, reflecting the image of Fakir's movements presently. He was crying.

Envy frowned and caressed the glass with her hand. "You'll become mine, right? Just like the story said: the powerful princess and the knight. I'm sure that's going to be you and me."
