Belle de'Morte, Valentine's Sire, had brought the poor, whimpering, and crazed girl back to her studio. She had talked with her, tried to reach her, tried to understand. Val had only preached things Belle had said long ago, when she had worked side by side with a demon Master, Zaruk'Naroth. The girl seemed obsessed with what Belle had done in her past. Why'
Sighing, Belle turned her back to Val and hung her head. "Val, I am not what you think. I have done terrible things in the past, and have been trying so hard to make up for them. Not because of remorse, but because of Rie. Contrary to all that I believed before about love, I find myself in it. Hopelessly in love with her. I will not make her victim and accessory to my sins. I have to repent and change my ways, for her sake. One day you too will understand."
She rose and headed for the door, unsure of what to tell Val, unsure of what to say to help the girl. "Val, those memories of mine, you would be better off if you forgot them. Make your own. You are damaged inside, and it will rip you apart. Don't make the same mistakes I did, don't act on those bloody desires. Don't bring more death and pain on this world, the people here do that to themselves. They don't need our help in damning their souls, if they even have them anymore."
