The Other Side of Vengeance

"One life in two bodies."

Chapter One
Pain.

Indescribable pain filled her body.

Not even the slightest scratch marked her skin, but her heart had been torn out. It meant nothing compared to the sight before her though. The tip of a blade was inches from piercing her chest, held back by her twin sister' own body. Stained red just like her hair. Catching her as she fell, a tear fell onto the girl's face.

"No..."

Barely audible, this plea fell onto deaf ears. The sword responsible came back towards her. Indulgence, held tightly in Misty's hand now, flicked up and knocked the weapon away. A grunt of surprise was her only response. She wasn't finished in the slightest though. Gripping Fog as well, Misty rose before her attacker. They didn't retreat a step. As she began to advance, this confidence faltered. Misty looked like death, in more ways than one. No chance to reconsider this choice was given. Sweeping him off his feet, both whip staves slammed into the ground on either side of his neck, crossing each other to keep him pinned. He smiled.

"You can't do it. You couldn't live with yourself afterwards."

Staring blankly down at the man for a long moment, he felt more and more relieved. She wouldn't do it.

"You're right. I couldn't live with myself."

Without giving him time to react, a foot stepped onto the cross made by the staves. The sole of her boot filled his vision.

"But you killed half of me already."

His eyes widened just in time for Misty's foot to force the staves together. The crunch that followed signalled his end. But she didn't move. Minutes passed before a reaction came. With a sniff, she fell to her knees and began sobbing. She was gone. Lust was gone. Misty continued until she was suddenly embraced. Muffled by the chest holding her tight, her sobs faded out as she threw her arms around Novale.

"It's ok now. I'm here."

"But Lust- she...."

A hand pulled her head closer, stroking her hair. The two of them stayed like this until her tears ran dry. Taking her shoulders, Novale looked straight into Misty's eyes.

"The two of you are one right? So live for her, I'm sure that's what she wants too."

She nodded meekly as Novale brushed her hair to the side. The beautiful deep red hair.
