Serenity's hand grasped around Chaos' neck as her eyes clouded and turned into a bloody haze of red. She pressed Chaos tight against the wall as a black cloud surrounded her and licked at Chaos' face. He wasn't smiling anymore but it was clear that he still found the situation amusing.
When he spoke his voice came in a whisper, "That's my girl."
Serenity's eyes never left his as she tilted her head, as if to say she didn't understand. In an instant her blood-red eyes brightened and she smiled at him, her pure white fangs glistening in the light of the room. She began laughing as she brought her head back up and moved with blinding speed closer to Chaos' ear.
With a dark voice she said, "If I'm yours, why don't you try to tame me?"
Serenity jumped up and kicked Chaos in the chest before she sailed half way across the room and landed gently by her sword. Chaos, seemingly unaffected by her kick moved away from the wall towards his own sword, bent, and picked it back up. Serenity's right hand hovered over her sword and it flew up into her hand, the instant the handle touched her flesh the blade of the sword burst into pitch-black flames.
"You are getting stronger with your powers I see." Chaos stated through a forced smile.
The intensity of the flames was making the room warmer.
Serenity brought the sword up to an offensive stance as she smiled and replied, "So you noticed, but my question for you is what you are going to do about it?"
She took five paces to Chaos before she stopped and put a hand on her head, with struggling words she continued, "Will you kill me?...Uhhh....or will you try...to make me yours...again?"
Serenity closed her eyes and dropped her sword, making the black flames disappear just as fast as they formed. She followed it as she dropped to her knees and held her head in her hands. Chaos was laughing again as he sheathed his sword and walked to the door opposite where Serenity had entered.
He looked at the door and asked, "Why fight it Serenity? I know deep in your heart that you want to give into the darkness that sleeps there."
Chaos focused on the door, making it creak, then fly open.
He turned around to look at her and continued, "And I know that you want to give into me. I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me and I've seen it before."
Not looking up, and her voice returning to normal Serenity stated, "You don't know me...you never have...and you never...will. You don't know...how dangerous this...thing inside me is."
She looked up at him, her eyes turning back to a crystal blue, she saw that he wasn't laughing or smiling at her. With cold eyes, eyes that could kill a mortal man if he held his gaze too long, his left arm stretched out in front of him.
"You never gave me a chance to know you." He said in a voice that could freeze fire.
Serenity never got a chance to reply, because in that moment Chaos launched a dark ball at the floor. The ball hovered for a second then slammed into the ground at frightening velocity. To Serenity it seemed that the entire castle was shaking, she tried to get to her feet but was knocked off balance when a crack split the floor in half. From the big crack in the middle, hundreds branched off from it. Serenity looked back to Chaos just in time to see him launch a red ball, just slightly bigger than the black ball, at the floor. This ball didn't hover and it crashed into the floor, disappearing as it hit. Serenity had no time to act; the floor beneath her crumbled and fell away. She felt herself dropping down, slowly at first then faster and faster until she fell away into the darkness.
