The next morning Minerva woke up but she sensed that something was off. She looked down to see that Yukino was still sleep peacefully. She smiled but then her smile fell when she spotted a kiss mark on Yukino's cheek. Minerva leaned a little closer but then she saw there was a white powder on her biceps. This made Minerva feel a little nervous then she gently shook Yukino to wake her.
"Yukino, wake up."
Yukino opened her eyes then looked at Minerva.
"My Lady, is something wrong?"
"By any chance, did you feel anything touch you?"
Yukino thought about it.
"Well if I did, it was from behind."
Minerva and Yukino both sat on Minerva's side of bed to look at the screen from the recording what happened while they were sleeping.
On the screen it showed just them sleeping until it was 1:00 A.M. It soon showed a door opened but no one was there. Then moments later the blanket on Yukino's side of the bed was lifted as if someone had climbed in and in the the far end of the the hallway a light was lit but turned off a few minutes later. It showed next that a doll had come into the room and it was holding a large knife in it's hand. It went to Yukino's side of the bed to stab her but then a shadow appeared behind the doll and silently killed it. When it was done it climbed into the bed on Yukino's side and wrapped it's arms around her.
Minerva nearly gulped as she pushed the fast forward button. To their shock the shadow had stayed in the bed for one hour then it sat up and looked at the doorway and would look at Yukino. That went on for four hours. When the time on the screen showed 5:30 in the morning the shadow had leaned closer to Yukino and kissed her on the cheek then left the room, closing the door silently behind it.
After watching that recording Minerva and Yukino looked at the foot of the bed on Yukino's side and felt it. It was still warm as if someone had just got up from sitting there. Minerva looked over at the clock her eyes widen when she saw the time.
6:05 a.m.
"My Lady..."
Minerva looked at Yukino.
"What is it?"
Yukino pointed at the doll house and both of them saw that the doll house had some blood spots all over it and there was a dead doll body in the middle of the room. Minerva quickly embraced Yukino as if she was protecting her then she rubbed the back of Yukino's head.
"Yukino, we're going to stay in a different room. I know it's not much but we have to get out of this room."
She felt Yukino nod then they both got their things out of the master room and went to get settled into another room. When they were done getting settled into a new room Minerva looked at Yukino who was curled up into a ball on the bed. Minerva couldn't blame her, who wouldn't be scared to watch something and learn that they were just at death's door and then to be saved by something that they were trying to avoid in the first place. Minerva wasn't sure what to do or say to Yukino so then she climbed into the bed and embraced Yukino.
"We will make it out of here."
"...promise?"
"I promise."
They continued to lay on the bed with Yukino in Minerva's arms and Minerva stroking Yukino's head to calm her, even for just a little bit.
Later
Minerva was in the hallway looking at the floor. She was indeed convinced that it was her 'Dark Reflection' that had been roaming through the halls and killed the doll that almost killed Yukino. Honestly she was thankful about that but why did the reflection of hers stay in the room for four hours, or even just thirty minutes before she woke up.
'What does my reflection want?'
As for Yukino, she hadn't moved from her spot on the bed. She couldn't even help but think about the shadow figure hugging her and then kissing her. She wondered what else to expect and most of all, will she end up encountering the shadow that had saved her life from that doll.
Just then Yukino heard.
"Yukino, will you please come to the kitchen?"
Yukino got off the bed and left out of the room. When she got to the hallway something grabbed her and yanked her into the closet. Yukino looked and saw that it was Minerva then Minerva looked at her while whispering.
"Don't go in there, I heard it too."
Yukino's eyes widen.
Was it the shadow that just called for her?
The creeked the closet door just enough to see through the small crack. Soon footsteps were heard and both women remained silent then their eyes widen in shock when they saw a woman that looked just like Minerva, or at least a demon version of her.
This Minerva had the same features as the normal Minerva had but there were a few things off. This Minerva had two long curled horns instead of buns, she wore a black eye patch over her right eye an it seemed to have a design to go across her face and down her neck. She wore a black cloak that had a large collar and black thigh high boots. She wore white patted arm band sleeve and black gloves that covered her clawed hands. She wore black pants and a black no sleeve top that only covered her torso. Her visible eye was blood red, with the sclera being black and she had sharp teeth.
"Oh Yukino, where are you. I know you are here somewhere in this side of the estate."
With that she began she began to look around into the bed rooms.
In the closet Yukino looked at the real Minerva whispering.
'What will we do?'
'Don't worry when she gets to the third room we'll silently sneak down the stairs.'
They nodded then continued to watch as the Dark Minerva checked up and down the first bed room.
