And then last her fiancé the man that she loved, and her childhood friend had poisoned her once more she was to die before the flames even hit her. She was betrayed by the people she loved; her countrymen who once adored her now celebrates her death as well.
Claris was just now coughing up blood, her heart truly had stopped so why isn't she dead. She watched as the flames burst from the ground and reach, she closed her eyes to embrace the pain. But then she frowned and realized there was no heart.
Opening her eyes, everything was pitch-black, but she could see herself, her hands and legs weren't bound anymore. Walking around, she started to think she was dead and was wondering what was happening when she saw the back of a girl.
"Umm, Excuse me?"
Hearing her voice Rachel turned around, her expression was blank as she observed Claris and folded her arms.
Claris frowned at being observed in such a blatant way, not really sure what to do. Just as she was about to say something an intense pain filled her head and memories unknown to her began to pull into her mind.
"You blackened didn't you" Rachel couldn't help but say, at the young girl whose hair was light blonde and her eyes where a unique aqua and violet. Female leads usually only lose their halo's when they blackened. But if that was the case how could she remain kind-hearted and trusting. These thought where swirling around in Rachel's she couldn't really find a reason.
"Blackening? I supposed you could call it that." Claris said after her head became clearer, she stood up and her shoulders where more relaxed. Her eyes where red, "To think that I…Say can I ask something of you?" After saying that Rachel it finally hit her by the female lead blackened.
Rachel just looked on with no expression, and for some reason just felt over all sad. She knew what Claris was going to ask for, this version of her was a female lead and was one that had blackened. "You're not willing to forgive?"

"Would, you if you where in my position." She laughed lightly and then looked towards the black s.p.a.ce that was brightening up as time goes on, she realized she doesn't have much time. "Since I child, I have always wondered if there was something beyond this place. Now, I know. Say don't you find it interesting that despite being shattered pieces of a bigger soul. We are able to do things that would only make sense if we were a complete soul."
Rachel's gaze sharpened, the reason Claris had blackened wasn't due to love, or the betrayal she felt. It was her obsession for Knowledge.
Because her blackening had nothing to due to human relations.h.i.+ps, she had no reason to act out. Her morals where rock solid but her obsession was...Something else, that would consume her. She was held back by her relations.h.i.+ps and morals. But as she was betrayed by those she loved, her morals and values deteriorated.
Looking at her eyes, this girl doesn't care for human life anymore. They where blank and filled with a childlike innocence, a deadly innocence.
Claris walked over, and took Rachels hand's in hers, "As another you, can I ask you to grant my request?" Rachel sighed she really didn't like it; she also didn't feel like denying it.
"Your father?"
"What a thing to say? You know that my love for him died" she smiled and tilted her head. "I'm not asking you to torture them, although I really want to."
"…."
"What's that look for?" Claris asked.
