Kid was consumed by the pain again, he could feel blood on his lip and palms from his teeth and nails.

And there it was. It was becoming so familiar now. The darkness.

"Kid, try and stay awake. If you can get through this then the others will be easier" But Kid could feel himself slipping.

"Kid stay awake" his eyes were being to feel heavy. Then he felt a hand on his, a human hand.

He wanted to know who it was but his body was giving in to the pain.

"Stay with us Kid" the voice was female and strangely familiar.

Curiosity drove Kid on open his eyes and fight off the darkness. When he could finally say that he didn't feel like he was going to sleep he looked to who the hand belonged too.

In Greek mythology there is a tale of a girl named Persephone, the tale goes that the grim reaper abducted her and forced her to marry him. The story was not completely true. Persephone was killed by a man who saw her by the yew tree 1,000 years ago. Her mother wept over her and prayed that if any God could save her, if they could just make sure she led a full life then she would give up being her mother. None of the gods answered apart from death himself. He made the deal with Persephone's mother that he would keep her forever alive and well inside his mirror.

It wasn't until years later that she was strong enough to live outside the mirror. She had been reincarnated many times now, the mirror caused her to be immortal until she reached the age when she died. She had been reincarnated on the same day Kid was born so they had been brought up together.

And that was who held Kid's hand now. Kid hadn't seen her in months; she had been weakened by the attack from the witches and so had spent the last couple of months recuperating in the mirror. But she couldn't stay there when Kid was in pain, for they shared a connection.

"Seph?"

"Hey kid, I'm gone 2 months and look what happens" she smiled and kissed the top of his head.

"Well we'll leave you two alone" said Lord Death.

"Are you sure that's a good idea..." Stein began but death kicked him out the room before following.

"Your colours coming back a bit" said Seph, Kid smiled.

"Yeh but I have no doubt Stein's going to come back in a few hours and take it away again" he said sadly.

She met his eyes and put a cold towel on his forehead.

The talked for hours, Stein was reluctant to walk in on them a release the vice since Kid looked so calm and happy.

But as the hours merge together he knew he had left it long enough.
