Miles carried Franziska to the guest room. She was exhausted, he knew from everything that had happened, the lies, the guilt and the pain of the memories that seemed to have re-emerged from their graves. Qilin was long gone, what was Liuxang trying to accomplish? Miles took a deep breath, he should have done more exercise as he carried Franziska up the steps. Thoughts circled around him, making him more confused and tired. Was there a reason why Qilin died? Was it coincidental that she was the only one who died in the bomb explosion?

"Dad, Mom, and even my twin brother, Huoniao, died because robbers broke into our house, or at least that's what I'm supposed to think."

Qilin was targeted! That was why she died! The realization made Miles's head spin. But why? Who would try and kill Qilin? She was a sweet girl, at times childish, at times mature, sometimes both, and she was always kind, and thoughtful. Her Cheshire cat grin was her signature facial expression, and her cheerfulness could have chased away rain clouds, why did she have to die?

Franziska mumbled and turned her head, startling Miles. He put her on her bed and kissed her on the forehead to bade her goodnight. Franziska moved again and this time she held his cravat tight. Miles sighed, she was cute when she slept that way, carefully without waking Franziska, he undid his cravat and let her keep holding it. He turned to leave the room. "Goodnight Franziska," he whispered with a slight smile.

Miles had just finished his shower when the doorbell rang and a few strong hard knocks on the door forced him to wear only his towel as he greeted his unknown impatient visitor. Qilin was in front of him. Miles was going to close the door when Qilin stuck her foot in the doorway. "Hello Miley!" said Qilin in her cheerful tone.

Miles didn't answer. His mind was racing, it was illogical for someone to rise from the dead, if they did, his father would be around.

"Why Miley, I didn't know you got that buff."

Still he didn't answer. Qilin was there, she had that scar under her left eye, her green jade eyes were glinting like green embers, and she was taller now but still a few centimetres shorter than him.

"Well? Aren't you going to say something Miley?"

Miles was shaking again. This time Qilin inched her face to Miles's. Her eyes glinting dangerous and for once, Miles felt something hidden and dangerous in Qilin. Her eyes turned to slits as her smirk turned somewhat malicious.

"This isn't a dream Miles, this is your nightmare."

Miles absorbed the words in a heartbeat; everything was slowing down as he processed what Qilin said. She said nightmare, his brain processed, so she was here to exact her revenge, of all wrongs done to her. What would happen to him? To Franziska? Did Lang do something wrong to her too? He collapsed, and he saw Qilin looking straight at him, her sweet smile turned malicious.

"Don't take this personal Miley."

Everything went black and as dark as night.

Franziska woke up. Liuxang was staring at her.

"Rise and shine princess."

"LIUXANG!" She almost had a heart attack. Liuxang chuckled softly, amused at how some girls could scream, he marvelled at her lung capacity, which he assumed was from her occupation as a prosecutor. On his right shoulder was Miles, unconscious, and behind him were Kay, Sola, and Luna.

"What happened to Miles Edgeworth?" Franziska asked. Since he was still, she thought Liuxang killed him.

"Easy, I just kind of dress up like Qilin, like this." Liuxang turned his back to Franziska and looked at her again. This time looking like Qilin, he flashed that signature Cheshire cat grin. The scar make-up was convincing. Franziska's breathe quickened when she saw the scar.

"Qilin told you?" She asked, hoping that Liuxang wouldn't take it upon himself to avenge the injustice they did to Qilin.

"No, she didn't, I read her diary," Liuxang sighed sadly," after her death, I mean."

With a heave, Liuxang dropped Miles like a bag of cement. He landed with a thump, yet he was still unconscious. He mumbled something and turned his head before going back to sleep.

Franziska's eyes narrowed when she saw Miles sleeping. She touched her whip, when the horrible memories resurfaced, and she dropped the whip. She couldn't touch the whip, not with knowing that she scarred Qilin's face with that.

Liuxang smiled sadly as he saw Franziska's predicament. "Want me to wash that blood of, Ziz?"

Franziska's eyes narrowed when she heard her nickname. "Stop calling me that."

"Ziz! Ziz! Ziz!" Liuxang taunted. He knew it would get her mind out of the whip. Had he forgiven Franziska, or not was up to him, but he couldn't bear to see Franziska suffering like that after revealing to her things that caused her nightmares. He knew it, from their eyes.

Franziska grabbed a rope she found on the bed. Liuxang's eyes popped open when he saw her hold it up to whip him.

"No, Ziz, you can throw anything at me, but not Specks!" he cried.

"Who's Spe—" Franziska was looking at a snake straight in the eye. Specks licked her nose and hissed. Franziska twitched, and with adrenaline-fueled strength, she flung the snake out the window. Liuxang caught Specks just in time but the throw knocked him out the window also.

Smash! Tinkle!

Franziska looked out the window, wondering whether Liuxang was dead or alive. And as much as she wanted to kill him, she hoped he was still alive, albeit her selfish reason, and optimistically, be like his sister and not press charges. Liuxang lay on the grass not moving, and with Specks trying to wake his master. Franziska pressed her temples, debating whether she would call the police, frame Miles, or simply dispose of the body. She looked at out the window again, and her horror increased, Shi-Long Lang was staring at her, with eyes wide open.

"Gee Sis, I didn't know you hated him that much."

Franziska was cornered. Miles woke up.

"Franziska, I had the weirdest dream," he said as he rubbed his throbbing head. He looked at Franziska and then looked out the window, wondering why she was frozen, he saw Liuxang not moving. He gave one last look at Franziska, and then fainted the second time. Shi Long pointed his gun at Franziska.

"As much as I hate to do this, Sis, I have to. You're under arrest for the murder of Long Liuxang aka Long Huoniao."
