Much like before, Carl's blood was icy. Saya shivered, only to be comforted by the warmth of Carl's body. Carl pulled her into his arms and laid beside her while she trembled.

"Why blood? Do I have to drink blood for the rest of my life?" Saya asked, still shivering.

"Yes. We will live to near-eternity and in order to sustain our lives we need blood. You see why I must give you blood now, even against your will? You must feed," he said. Saya looked up at him, the coldness in her body diminishing.

"I don't wish to feed, I don't want to hurt anyone," Saya said.

"Then I guess you'll stick with my blood for the time being. Until I feel you can choose your victim," Carl said. Saya nodded her head. She felt Carl knew what was best for her and that's why he was protecting her. He would always love Saya and make sure she had everything and anything she needed.

Their lips neared and they kissed. At first, just taking pleasure of physical love but then it blossomed into something more. Carl pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips harder, sharing the taste of blood. Saya's eyes shot open at his passion but she closed them and enjoyed the caress.

The kiss separated from what seemed like forever. Saya blushed and turned away from him. It was somewhat embarrassing to have Carl see her blush. His lips are caressing the nape of her neck now. His fingers running along the lining of her collarbones, Saya wanted more. Carl was being gentle.

"Carl...I'm ticklish there. Stop...!" Saya giggled.

"Are you saying you don't like me kissing you?" Carl teased as he tugged at her nightgown. Saya rolled onto her back and let Carl crawl on top her and rest his weight gently onto her body. His hands traveling all over her body, tickling her and making her laugh. His demonic hand slid up her thigh, to her underwear. Saya squeaked and she lie still for a moment. He sat up, keep their hops locked, and studied her.

"Can I...?" Carl asked. Saya's mouth opened, trying to say her approval. She grabbed his demonic hand and brought it to her mouth, she removed his glove and kissed his fingertips. Once she had finished with that, his hand brushed up against her cheek and Saya nodded her head. Carl began to removed her clothes, and Saya did the same with his. Underneath him now, clutching his shoulders and trembling, she squeaked as his lips caressed her breasts. His lips moved downward, planting sweet kisses on her tummy; searching for something he knew was not there. Saya found his hair and undid its binding to caress the thick ebony locks. His lips continues downward, he kissed her from the knees and up.

Soon enough, her lover climbed back onto her body and gazed into her eyes, asking for her approval. With another nod of Saya's head he thrust, trying to be gentle, and Saya screamed in both pleasure and pain.

He took her hand in his demonic one, sliding his fingers between the webbings of hers. He solaced her by whispering her name as he began to empty his seed inside her. Saya moaned loudly; she closed her eyes and craned her head back over the pillow. Then her head moved back and she moaned painfully, the discomfort was a nuisance but the pleasure joined into her moan. Her free hand dug into his shoulder, blood began to to drip from where her nails were digging into his flesh.

"I want to know you, I want to know all of you!" her lover whispered. Saya eyes began to wet; the tears beginning to come. Carl kissed her eyelids and licked the tears away. He lived to cause her pain, and their love would bring much greater damage to her than any of the wounds he had incised in her flesh.

"When will they get here?" Diva said impatiently as she stood at the bar.

"It's only eleven, they'll be here. And when Carl gets here I'm going to kick his..." Solomon was interrupted by Hagi.

"I don't think that will be possible," Hagi said.

"Why not?" Solomon asked, consumed by anger.

"I think the reason he chose this place is because of all the people. None of us will be able to reveal our abilities or kill him. Too many witnesses, and we can't expose the Chiropterans to the people," Hagi said, Mathew nodded his head in agreement. Diva nodded her head and took another sip of water from the glass in her hands.

"I don't want any of you to fight father. You do and I swear I'll kill you all," Diva threatened. She looked over at Hakumei and Getsuei. They knew better than to disobey Diva when she was angry. Despite that she was younger than them.

"If that us your wish, Diva," Hagi said. However, he knew he would have to disobey her when Carl came.

12:00am

Saya fell asleep in Carl's arms, she lie with her back up against his chest, his arms wrapped around her. Saya was smiling blissfully in her contented slumber, how amazing and gentle Carl had been. Carl kissed her cheek and dressed himself in a robe, walking to the bathroom.

"Carl..." Saya whispered in her sleep. Carl had gotten out of the shower and dressed himself quickly. He did not want to wake Saya up from her peaceful slumber. He decided the meet his daughter alone and bring her home to Saya.

"Sleep well, Saya." he whispered before exited the room.

"Twelve fifteen! Where is he?!" Diva shouted with impatience.

"I think I have an idea," Solomon said angrily. He banged his fist on the bar and growled.

"He dare not," Hagi said, his claw balling into a fist.

"Saya would probably like Carl. He seems like he can satisfy her," Diva snapped, grimacing at Solomon and Diva. Hakumei and Getsuei were dancing. Suddenly Hakumei and Getsuei ran up to them.

"He's here! Carl is here!" Hakumei shouted, pointing to the man at the entrance. Hagi and Solomon's gaze traveled to the man. It was, without a doubt, Carl. Mathew gripped the gun in his pocket, his hand tingling with anger. His true form would erupt if he didn't control his anger.

"I don't see Saya," Diva said. She had seen pictures of Saya; she was familiarized with how she looked. They pushed through the crowd and walked up to Carl. He smiled softly.

"Diva, I'm so sorry that I couldn't bring Saya. I had to let her sleep, however..." Carl cut himself off. He looked at Hagi and Solomon.

"Why don't we continue this conversation outside, alone?" Carl offered as he held out his hand.

"Yes, let's," Diva said as she took his hand. They were about to walk away when Mathew said something.

"Diva," Mathew said. Diva halted but she didn't turn to him..

"We'll be watching," he said.

"Do me a favor and leave. You, Solomon and Hagi are no longer my Chevaliers. You follow and I swear I will kill you and the others," Diva said and then she began to walk away with Carl. They walked into an alley. Diva was the first to speak.

"I accept your previous offer. Take me away from the pain," Diva begged. Carl nodded his head.

"Would you like to see Saya?" Carl asked. Diva nodded her head and was about to take his hand until Hagi threw one of his daggers.

"Hagi!" Diva shouted angrily. Diva lunged toward him and was about to strike him. But Hagi pinned her to the ground and Solomon and Mathew fought Carl. Hakumei and Getsuei fought as well.

"Diva, what has become of you? Are you willing to risk thousands of lives just to save yourself?" Hagi asked. Diva remained silent and then looked to the side to see her father fighting Mathew, Solomon, Hakumei, and Getsuei.

"I'm not as strong as mother, I don't want to feel anymore pain..." she wept.

"But I don't want to hurt anyone else. Thank you Hagi!" she exulted, finally realizing what she had become. Hagi got off her and gave her her sword. She ran at Carl but misfortune was at hand. Carl shot a spike at Hakumei and it went through her shoulder and sliced into Diva's stomach. Diva fell to her knees and heard the crack of crystallizing skin. She grasped the spike, trying to pull it out. But it was too late, Hakumei's blood was in her veins.

"Our mother's blood is Saya's poison. It must be the same with us and Diva!" Hakumei cried. Carl looked to the ground, somewhat disappointed and then he flew off. Diva looked up, her chest began crystallizing. She looked at her Chevaliers and a crack broke into her neck. Mathew sat beside her and held her, Diva set her hands on his chest. Cracks streamed into them, she was breaking like glass. As the color of her eyes began to fade she looked into his eyes and tears streamed from them. She smiled, cracks broke into her neck and to her jaw and chin.

"Tell mother I love her and that I'm sorry..." her mouth almost unable to move. A crack broke over her mouth and her eyes streamed with cracks as they faded into white. Finally her corpse collapsed onto the ground and shattered into shards.

"Diva..." Mathew cried, gathering small shards of her remains in his hand.
