Amore stands in front of the secret crypt entrance she and Octavia explored before. Amore looks at her full blood red longsword, tightly gripped in her right hand as she takes a deep breath.

"Everything was meant to go back to normal today... We were meant to go back to normal today..." Amore tightly grips a letter in her left hand which crumples.

Amore suddenly drops the letter and grabs her chest in agony, but keeps her standing while leaning against a stone tomb. She goes to bite her arm, but fights through the pain till it subsides and stands back up, panting heavily.

"That is really starting to badly hurt... Octavia..." Amore looks at the crypt entrance again before remembering the earlier events of the morning.

"The Order of Light did what?!" Aqua Streak yells as she sits on Amore's bed with Scarlet Orange.

Amore hands the letter she got to Aqua Streak and she skim reads it all the way down to the signatures.

"BM and B... Who do we know from the order that has those initials..." Scarlet Orange ponders before Aqua Streak's eyes shoot wide open and she quickly looks at the letter again.

"Big Mac and Braeburn! Lady Van Apple's right hand stallion and her cousin!" Aqua Streak states, dropping the letter to the floor.

"Who are they?" Amore asks, sighing deeply.

"Big Macintosh Van Apple is Lady Van Apple's big brother and right hand stallion. He handles all the major operations in and around Ponyville. Braeburn is their cousin... He might not seem like much, but he is a captain rank within the order." Aqua Streak begins to explain.

"We were the rank of Lieutenant which is second lowest. Braeburn is the rank of Captain, which makes him more skilled than us..." Scarlet Orange further explains as she looks down.

"So you're telling me... That the chick who used to be your boss ordered her big brother, her 'right hand stallion' to come here with his Captain rank cousin and steal Octavia away to the crypt... Which mostly likely means Shintaku is in with the Van Apples if they are using the crypt... Which means it was their plan to break me and Octavia up... Which means Shintaku hurt our relationship and brought out stuff Octavia could have done on her own when ready and she made me paranoid..." Amore raises an eyebrow.

Aqua Streak looks at Scarlet Orange who nods. Aqua Streak turns back to Amore and sighs deeply.

"Given what we heard during our time in The Order of Light... That sounds exactly like Big Mac's style of play. I should also add that he doesn't plan to let you or Octavia live. If you go along with his plan, he will most likely kill Octavia either before you arrive or after to watch you suffer." Aqua Streak explains.

Amore gets up and grabs her sword from the silver case under her bed. She spins it in her hand a few times and takes a few deep breaths.

"Tell the teach I'm gonna be absent today... If he has a problem with that he can go fuck himself... The Order of Light, Van Apples... I don't give a shit for nothing like that. They decided to fuck with me... They made the choice to fuck with my mare... They clearly made their bed... I'm gonna make those fuckers lie in it!" Amore turns around and kicks the door clear off its hinges making it fly past Derpy who was just about to pass by.

Aqua Streak and Scarlet Orange stand up quickly and follow just outside the door to see Amore storm off down the hall.

"Bad day?" Derpy asks looking at Aqua Streak and Scarlet Orange concerned.

"Something like that Derpy... We'll explain on the way to class." Aqua Streak sighs deeply.

Amore walks over to the entrance and hits the same switch she did before to make it open. After several seconds of nothing happening she sighs deeply and takes a few steps back. Using her sword she slashes at the entrance several times in quick succession.

"Knock knock mother fuckers!" Amore yells as she runs and kicks the entrance with all her force.

The entrance breaks and crumbles into many pieces which fly backwards opening the way. When Amore steps through she can see two colts in The Order of Light pure white robes knocked out in the rubble of the door she just broke. Smirking a little she continues forward to meet two more robed ponies, this time mares.

"Shit she broke down the door..." The first states.

"We must report this at once..." The second begins before turning around.

Amore sprints forth and two step kicks the second mare in the side sending her flying into the wall to their right. The first mare attempts to stab Amore with a silver dagger, but fails on multiple tries before she is smacked in the head by the end of Amore's hilt, knocking the mare out. Kicking the mare out of her way Amore makes her way through the trapped hallway she and Octavia went through before. Halfway down the hallway Amore can see a squad of four robed ponies. Two colts and two mares.

"She is here!" The first colt announces.

"Ready the crossbows!" The second colt commands.

The two colts kneel down and the four ponies produce crossbows which appear to hold silver crossbow bolts. Tilting her head to the side, Amore continues walking down the trapped hallway as arrows and flames are spewed forth behind her. The four ponies ready themselves and begin firing their bolts at Amore. Only a few bolts hit each time but she doesn't stop walking despite how much pain she is in.

"Who the fuck is this mare?!" The first mare exclaims.

"She was reported to be normal, what is this shit?!" The second mare panics as she drops her crossbow bolt on reloading.

Amore sprints forth and slams the first colts head into the wall to the left indenting it. The second colt is kicked back down the hallway into a gust of flames which sets him alight. The inflicted colt screams in agony and runs down the hallway inflamed. The first mare is slammed hard in the stomach by Amore's fist making her throw up. She is then slammed into the right side of where they are opposite the indented colt and knocked out. The second mare attempts to run down the hallway, but gets caught in the arrow and flame traps dying a horrible death. Amore casually walks to the other side before coming to a big double door.

"Just a little longer..." Amore whispers to herself as she calmly opens the door and steps through.

Upon breaching the threshold she can see two colts standing between her and Shintaku's room, where the thrones were before.

"Looks like you were right cousin... The Lieutenant rank shrimps stood no chance." Braeburn states, looking at Big Mac who scoffs slightly.

"They failed the Van Apple family and The Order of Light... We have bigger problems now." Big Mac states, taking his hands out of his pockets and looking at Amore.

"Where is Octavia..?" Amore asks, tightly gripping her sword.

"What does it matter... She'll be dead before-" Braeburn is cut short by Amore.

"I don't give a single fuck for your opinion! I asked you a mother fucking question and expect an answer!" Amore screams at Braeburn who recoils and reaches his hand behind his back, inside his coat.

"She is in Shintaku's room... Most likely dead, half dead or soon to be dead by now... Shintaku didn't like you messing up her reputation." Big Mac states, drawing a full metal silver longsword from behind his back, underneath his coat.

"I see... I'll be needing to enter that room... With or without your permission..." Amore states, putting herself into a fighting position.

Sinister chilling fight music ferments the room as Amore and Big Mac sprint off the spot to clash their swords together making sparks fly. As they push away from each other Braeburn tries to attack Amore quickly with his twin short swords, but ends up kicked in the face sending him flying backwards.

"Careful Braeburn! She is no weakling like the rest!" Big Mac warns Braeburn who grunts and stands up.

"Give her back to me!" Amore screams as she closes the gap between her and Big Mac while he yells at Braeburn.

Big Mac quickly counters and begins moving around the room fighting Amore. All he can do is counter, repel and attempt an opening. Amore two step kicks Big Mac back several feet across the floor, luckily he blocked and was able to absorb the blow. Braeburn flies in again and tries to attack Amore using very fast twin short sword techniques that normally work on lesser vampires. Amore grits her teeth and slams the bottom of her hilt into Braeburn's stomach making him cough up blood before she grabs his head and holds him tightly.

"You're pissing me off!" Amore throws Braeburn as hard as she can into a nearby pillar cracking and breaking it slightly making it bend in where he impacted.

Braeburn coughs up more blood and falls to the floor. Big Mac takes the opening and thrusts his sword into Amore's stomach driving it through her. Amore let's out a blood curdling scream of pain and attempts to slash Big Mac. He manages to barely dodge before getting a two step kick directly to the face which sends him into the pillar next to Braeburn's.

"Stop fucking around and give her back to me!" Amore screams as she pulls the silver longsword out of her body.

Big Mac stands up moving his shoulder slightly and helps Braeburn up. Suddenly Braeburn is impaled by Big Mac's thrown silver longsword which pins Braeburn to the pillar through his stomach.

"Fuck!" Braeburn spits out yet more blood.

Big Mac rushes to help, but is impacted with a hoof to the face which slides him across the floor. When he opens his eyes Amore is stabbing her longsword into Braeburn's thighs and lower legs making sure to twist her blade so he felt the most pain. Big Mac watches as Amore's sinister blood red vampire like aura gets darker and darker. Reaching for his cousins silver short swords nearby, Big Mac gets to his feet and readies himself as Amore is about to cut Braeburn's throat after cutting his arms.

"Hey, he is no longer a threat! Come deal with a pony who is you sadistic bitch!" Big Mac states, sprinting at Amore.

Amore quickly closes the gap and kicks Big Mac backwards before following up with a few heavy slashes. Her fighting style is more brutal and hard hitting than it was before. Big Mac can see her eyes have shifted colour and one of them is blood red while the other is flickering from aquamarine into blood red quite often.

"You're a half breed! So she gave birth after all!" Big Mac yells as Amore begins her flurry of attacks.

Both silver short swords are knocked from Big Mac's hands and he is kicked into the wall beside the exit door. Looking to get away quickly he is suddenly pinned in place by a short sword in either arm. Amore walks up to Big Mac and rests the tip of her sword against his throat.

"You won... Don't keep Octavia waiting..." Big Mac swallows hard.

Amore looks around for a sec before blinking. Her eyes return to aquamarine and she lowers her sword. After sharing a parting stare Amore heads for Shintaku's room, making the music stop.

"Come back you bitch! We can still-" Braeburn begins to taunt, but is silenced by Big Mac.

"For once in your life Braeburn, shut the fuck up! We could never hope to best her as we are now... Not even I could deal with her unique blood lust and compassion..." Big Mac begins as he pulls the swords out of his arms and walks over to Braeburn.

"B-but... What about Shintaku? She will reduce her to nothing more than paste." Braeburn tries to plead as he is let down from the pillar and onto the floor.

"Be quiet and save your energy... She missed your vitals on purpose, despite being in a blood rage... Her mane and tail style... Their colour... Not too mention her bright orange coat... She is most certainly the daughter of Vinyl Von Scratch..." Big Mac begins as he pulls out some potions and starts to mend Braeburn.

"Ouch! What's your point? That explains her mane and tail style plus colour with Vinyl being a vampire... What else is there to it? Her father?" Braeburn hisses as Big Mac applies some salve to his wounds.

"Not a father... But a second mother..." Big Mac states, as he picks up his longsword and presents it to Braeburn after tasting some blood on it.

"W-what? Want me to taste her blood?" Braeburn protests pushing the sword away.

Big Mac wipes up some and shoves it inside Braeburn's mouth making him scrunch his nose briefly.

"It tastes like freshly picked apples, right? There has only ever been one mare that you and I know of that has that kind of blood running through her veins..." Big Mac states, looking in the direction of Shintaku's room.

Braeburn's eyes widen in surprise. "Don't tell me she is the daughter of-" Braeburn is hushed by Big Mac's hand on his mouth.

"Not yet... I need all the facts before I can make a sound claim... However, it is surely looking in that direction... Her mother might just be..." Big Mac begins, but trails off towards the end.

Octavia is lying on the stone floor with blood scattered all around her and the room. Her normal student council uniform is torn and ripped all over, her blazer is cut in various places and sections are missing which expose her midsection. Her skirt is torn and cut to reveal sections of her thighs and her tights have been demolished almost entirely. A little bit in front of her stands Shintaku who is holding a very bloody version of Octavia's bowtie. An intense sinister music fills the room.

"Oh dear, it looks like you didn't last as long as you thought... I've been around far longer then fucking either of you! I've brought countless relationships to a violent and bloody end by making them doubt and suspect each other. Yet you two little shits insist on defying me and even get back together!" Shintaku lifts Octavia up in her magical grasp.

Octavia is then kicked hard into a nearby wall cracking it and making Octavia cough up a lot of blood. She is then allowed to fall onto the floor as Shintaku walks over to her and grabs her head before lifting her up to meet her eye level.

"I've raised armies of the fucking undead and had powerful minions at my disposal! I'm one of the most powerful Unicorns to ever walk this fucking land! You and your Von Melody family are nothing but insects! Don't even get me started on the Von Scratch family... You and that slut messed up my running streak of flawless break ups... Not only that, but Lady Applejack sent those two fuckers into my domain! You will pay me back in blood!" Shintaku rants as the doors to her room fly off and crash into the opposite wall.

Shintaku drops Octavia and turns around to see Amore standing in the doorway radiating a blood thirsty vampire aura and tightly gripping the handle of her longsword.

"Knock knock mother fucker..." Amore weakly states before cracking her neck.

"Well... you arrived a little early, but nothing I can't handle. I take it you're looking for this piece of vampire shit... I'm just about done with her, but my ride will be here soon so I can't give her back to you. Why don't we waste a little time in my dimension before it gets here." Shintaku grins as she snaps her fingers and the whole room is enveloped in darkness.

Amore opens her eyes to see that only her and Shintaku stand in complete darkness and a sinister music plays in the background.

"You remember this place... Welcome to my realm of infinite darkness! I'm going to kill you slowly and painfully for your crimes..." Shintaku grins as she begins floating again.

"Give her back to me!" Amore screams as she sprints at Shintaku.

Shintaku evades Amore's slash with ease before attempting a flip kick which is dodged and countered with a flurry of small slashes. Shintaku erects a shield to block them before throwing a ball of condensed magical essence at Amore, who cuts it in half making it explode behind her.

"My word... For a wounded slut you're doing decently... Let's fix that shall we?" Shintaku lands and summons a group of five floating swords held in her magical grasp around her.

Amore charges in again and takes the swords head on fighting them all at the same time. Shintaku uses the swords to slash at Amore which is narrowly evaded using a roll. Amore tries to follow up with a flurry, but is countered by Shintaku's own flurry of much faster magical swipes and slashes. Using her magical swords Shintaku sends each one flying at Amore only to have them deflected or dodged. The last sword stabs Amore straight through her right thigh making her scream in pain.

"Grr... You have been heavily wounded, stabbed many times by holy weapons... What will it take to rid myself of you forever!" Shintaku rants as the sword recoils back to her from Amore.

"Give... Her...Back... To... Me..." Amore vaguely says through pants.

Shintaku makes her swords disperse and she summons a legion of floating, sharp silver daggers. She begins to laugh sinisterly and holds out her arms.

"These are the daggers of dead ponies I've killed throughout the years... Each one carries their malice and hate towards me. By the end of this little spat, you and Octavia will be just another dagger among the pile... Taste their pain!" Shintaku screams as she flings her arms forward.

All the daggers point forward and fly from their position at Amore. Weakly bracing herself Amore is cut, scratched and enveloped in a sea of raging silver daggers. Every dagger attacks and tears her to shreds making sure to draw blood whenever they make contact. Some stab her, some cut her deeply or shallowly, some even cut her mane and tail. Shintaku snaps her fingers and the sea of daggers recoil back to their starting positions. Amore stands where she is heavily bleeding and panting hard while looking up, her face covered by her bloody mane.

"Let's see you continue living after an attack like that! Hmm..?" Shintaku stops and listens closely.

"Give... Her... Ugh... Give... Her... Back... Give her back to me!" Amore states weakly before shouting it.

Shintaku grits her teeth and clenches her fists in pure rage. She holds one hand up to make all the daggers begin to gather and form into one bigger than normal longsword made from silver.

"Just die! You will never be with her again, not even in death! Die! Die! Die!" Shintaku raves as she charges the blade with her magic and makes it radiate her essence.

Shintaku throws the longsword with all her might at Amore and smirks to herself. Amore shifts her mane slightly to see with one eye the sword that approaches her. Using her longsword she tries to set up a defence. The silver longsword impacts Amore's and breaks it in half before slamming directly through Amore's stomach straight out into the floor behind her. Coughing up an intense amount of blood Amore is brought to her knees with a sizeable wound through her stomach. The darkness and music begin to dissipate showing the room again, the music stops. The silver longsword behind Amore dissipates as well.

"That should finish you..." Shintaku pants before looking up at a loud noise above them.

Suddenly a massive pike head comes through the ceiling before ripping it off in a perfect square. The entire ceiling plus all the ground between them and the surface is flung into the air and the sky can be seen. Smiling widely Shintaku can see an enormous Zeppelin hovering above them flying the Van Apple family's colours.

"Well, looks like my ride is here. I'll be taking Octavia and coming back for you once you are dead... Goodbye Amore." Shintaku states happily as she begins floating and picks up Octavia in her magical grasp.

Shintaku leaves the crypt with Octavia and cackles as she flies away leaving Amore broken and beaten. Amore spits some blood onto the ground and groans in pain. She looks around the room with her blood hazy vision before her nose picks up a very familiar scent. Looking over to the left slightly where Octavia laid before, Amore can see a big puddle of Octavia's blood. Using her fist she slams it into the ground making a bowl shaped dent. Not bothering to use her hands, Amore dives her mouth into the blood and begins drinking it heavily. After the puddle is diminished to a small spot Amore can feel a sharp pain shoot through her entire body. She grips the handle of her broken longsword tightly before her vision is enveloped in darkness again.

Opening her eyes suddenly she finds herself in the same position she was before in a mysterious realm where the entire landscape is pure white. A single blood red tree is nearby with a pool of blood all around it, like a moat. Suddenly another version of Amore walks out of the pool, she is wearing very skimpy vampire styled pitch black armour. Her eyes are both a fresh blood red. The vampire Amore walks over to her and kneels down lifting her head slightly.

"Oh, poor Amore... They beat you bad didn't they? You want the power to devour them. Make them beg for death. I can give this to you-" Vampire Amore is cut off by another version of her voice.

"Neigh! Thou shalt not listen to this vision of darkness!" The voice booms across the landscape.

A third version of Amore stands on the other side of her wearing normal steel armour in the same skimpy design.

"Ugh... That armour..." Amore weakly states.

"Oh thou shalt not complain about thy own imagination... You know your own strength... You can still win this!" The normal Amore states in defiance.

"Don't be stupid! She tried this with her own strength and she lost!" Vampire Amore stands up.

"Silence! Both of you hold your tongues!" A familiar, comforting voice silences them both.

A vampire styled door appears near the tree and opens. Octavia walks out shortly after and the door morphs into bats which converge on the naked mare forming her normal school uniform. She walks over to Amore and kneels down.

"You fought hard... I'm not the real Octavia, but a figment of your mind helped along with the blood you have drank. You know what this is... It's your choice which one you want to be... Just remember what you want to protect and who this choice is for." Octavia comforts Amore.

"I couldn't protect you! I failed the mare I loved the most because I was too weak! I got to where I am because I had the power to do so... But here... I'm no longer in that normal world... I'm no longer strong enough to protect you. There are enemies now who are even stronger than us... I can't stay like this..." Amore begins as tears start to fall from her eyes.

"S-so... Your choice..?" Normal Amore says weakly.

"I told you she would pick destruction over-" Vampire Amore begins, but is cut short.

"Shut up! I don't care about destruction or making others bend to my will... I don't care about what I become... I don't give two shits if I end up in Tartarus or wherever this ridiculous adventure takes me! I will never care how bad it gets... No matter how much pain I'm in I'll carry on! I swear to never be weak again and I'll protect you no matter the cost... Octavia." Amore states crying heavily.

"Do you mean those words..?" Vampire Amore's voice sounds darker and more serious.

Amore looks up suddenly to see her normal version willingly being absorbed into the vampire one. Octavia is then absorbed and she stands before Amore.

"Will you vow to that? Do you pledge to never let another piece of shit harm her again like this? And if they do you'll show them that there are worse things than death? I'll give you this power, become one with you... Never forget the emotions you just felt and who you felt them for..." Vampire Amore states before the entire landscape disappears.

When Amore next opens her eyes she looks up at the tail of the leaving airship. Her hazy vision is gone and the pain has stopped. Amore stands up and holds her stomach, which has healed.

"Tavi..!" Amore yells as a sharp sincere pain shoots through her body.

Amore feels her whole body heat up as her heart begins to race in her chest. Suddenly she is surrounded by a growing blood thirsty aura and her vampire wings spring forth from her back. Her wings start to grow slightly, turn darker and become more sinister. Amore's vampire fangs grow slightly as well to the kind that Octavia have, compared to her original somewhat smaller fangs. Her blood thirsty aura increases to become a deep violent blood red which extends down to her sword. The hilt and remaining blade of her sword begins to bubble and melt as it reforms itself. The hilt morphs to take on a bat-like appearance, the blade shifts itself back into it's full length, but at half its width. Feeling her blood pumping and her fury rise more and more she looks up at the airship and cracks her neck.

"Shintaku!" Amore screams, as she spreads her wings and flies out of the crypt ceiling exit.

Vinyl is leaning against the railing of the academy rooftop bouncing her head to a song which is blasting from her headphones. In the distance she can see Amore fly up from the destroyed crypt ceiling and a massive grin creeps across her face when she notices the aura surrounding her.

"Welcome to the family, Amore." Vinyl sighs to herself before turning to her right.

Flutterbat walks over to Vinyl who turns down her volume so she can still hear the song, but also Flutterbat.

"It would seem Shintaku is up to her old tricks again..." Flutterbat states leaning against the rail.

"Like you didn't know... Nothing happens on this campus you don't know about. However, Shintaku has bitten off more then she can chew by taking Octavia from Amore." Vinyl jumps up onto the railing and stretches.

Flutterbat looks puzzled. "What makes you so sure Shintaku will lose to Amore?"

Vinyl takes a deep breath and wears a wide grin as she watches Amore dodge the oncoming weapons fire from the airship.

"Because... One does not simply fuck with a Von Scratch..." Vinyl jumps off the railing and spreads her wings to begin flying towards the Zeppelin.

Flutterbat sighs deeply before holding her side. "Yeah... Don't I know it..."

Amore dodges wave after wave of oncoming weapons fire as she looks for an entrance to the massive airship. Suddenly the loading ramp to the airship lowers and two Order of Light grunts can be seen loading crossbows. Amore speeds over to the ramp and kicks one of the grunts off as she lands. The remaining grunt fumbles with the crossbow and drops it which triggers it firing a bolt up through their head. The now lifeless corpse falls off the ramp and Amore rolls her eyes. Moving up the ramp she encounters three more grunts who pull out silver engraved pistols.

"We should try out these new weapons Lady Van Apple issued us to deal with these supernatural scum." The first grunt states as they aim at Amore.

Amore sprints from her position and cuts down the first two grunts before being shot in the shoulder by the third. Her bullet wound sizzles and stings making her glare at the last grunt who is swiftly dispatched like his friends. Searching the airship, Amore leaves no room un bloody with Order of Light blood as she calls out Shintaku constantly. After flooding countless floors and making her way to the bridge she kicks open the door to see Octavia on her knees and Shintaku wielding her duel silver longsword's, held in her magic.

"You are a persistent creature... I thought you would die in that pit, not evolve to whatever the fuck you are now. How the fuck did you even do that?!" Shintaku screams as she sends her swords towards Amore.

Amore deflects Shintaku's silver swords and follows up with her own flurry of slashes which sends waves of her aura towards Shintaku, who tries to block using her swords. As the aura makes contact with her swords they are cut into small pieces. Shintaku grits her teeth, but before she knew it she was slammed into the back wall by a heavy two step kick. Amore then proceeds to give Shintaku no quarter as she delivers a series of lightning fast punches which pound every inch of Shintaku.

"One. Does. Not. Simply. Mess. With. My. Mare!" Amore states between her vicious and very violent punches.

Once Amore finishes and Shintaku is left very wobbly, bleeding and sincerely beat up, Amore starts to walk away, but suddenly turns around sticking her longsword into Shintaku's chest, pinning her to the wall. Amore then two step kicks Shintaku with all her remaining force, the impact sends her flying backwards through the wall and into the air, rapidly falling from the airship. Amore walks over to the control console and grunts as she holds her chest. Shaking her head she uses her fists to total the console after setting it to crash. Walking over to Octavia, Amore picks her up before flying out of the same hole Shintaku was kicked out of. Amore flies a safe distance away from the airship as she watches it head towards the ocean to crash.

"You'd tear the world apart if it meant saving me, huh?" Octavia weakly says as she opens her eyes.

"That and more... You mean the world to me and I'd never dream of losing you to anyone... I'm yours to keep and I hope you'll be mine." Amore states, holding Octavia close.

"You might as well be asking me to marry you. Thank you... Amore. I see you picked a path... How much pain are you in right now?" Octavia asks resting her head against Amore's chest.

"Let's just say... Too much to keep flying for long... Huh?" Amore looks down at her very damaged skirt towards her flank.

Upon her flank is a picture of a blood red heart shaped apple that has a metal longsword going straight down the middle of it. Coming out of the top of the apple where the sword slides in is a blood drop. Amore wears a deadpan expression before sighing deeply.

"I know it'll bug a lot of ponies for this... But I'm gonna figure that shit out much later... I need to rest..." Amore states weakly to Octavia.

"I'm not even going to ask who you mean... Does a nice warm joint bath sound good right about now? Along with some blood, both fresh and chilled." Octavia offers as she breathes deeply taking in the fresh air.

"That sounds perfect... I hope Principal Flutterbat doesn't mind we broke her crypt..." Amore muses as she starts to fly towards the academy.

"Hmm... She'll get over it. Let's just go home and rest. You're going to be in a great deal of pain for the next few days... I want you comfortable, so no class for either of us till you're healthy again and no picking fights... you don't need that." Octavia nuzzles Amore's chest affectionately before closing her eyes.

Author's Note

I apologise for being two days late. I'm publishing this late at night and I couldn't get a proof read Saturday. I hope you all like the over the top fights and action. Amore has now not only made her choice, but finally got her mark. For all of you who didn't know... Yes, she was a blank flank. I think that was mentioned in the second chapter during her nightmare, but anyway it's mentioned again just in case. The next three chapters will be much calmer. The first chapter after this one will be a very interesting and silly relax chapter. The next two after that will be calm as well, but hold a lot of story and character development. Then once those three are done... Onwards to the next story arc! So see you soon!
