Aveline sighed as she walked through the school. Qwyn had tasked her with finding Enna, who hasn't appeared for their quest expedition.
'That crazy girl is probably just losing it because she can't keep me to herself.'
Making it to a door, secluded far back into the Academy, Aveline knocked a few times. As nobody answered, she tried the knob.
"Hey, Enna? You here?"
She pushed the door open, stepping into the dim room. The smell of a burnt wick reached her nose, so she fanned it a bit.
"Enna?"
A soft groan could be heard from nearby, so Aveline stopped and listened more intently.
"Enna, you're really late. We were supposed to leave three hours ago."
Aveline reached for what seemed to be a blanket. As it slipped off of her body, Enna became visible. She was laying in a rather large puddle of sweat with blood mixed in.
"Enna!"
Kneeling down, Aveline began to check her body. Slowly examining every inch, Aveline finally reached her arms. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she saw them.
'I forgot about that habit of hers. I don't need you bleeding out on me.'
Aveline pulled Enna's head into her lap, making sure to get her away from the puddle. She lifted both arms and kissed the many scars softly.
"You can't cope with your own feelings, so you lash out to keep yourself in control. This is because I told you I can't be yours, alone. You massive idiot. I want you in my life, but this... you'll end up killing yourself before I can even see that incredible smile I adore."
Aveline trailed her fingers across the scars, singing softly to ease Enna's dreams. As her fingers glided down her skin, every fresh wound healed beautifully, yet the older scars remained.
'You have such a beautiful complexion, yet you damage your skin just because you can't control yourself. In the game, you lost control fully during the Massacre Route. Your habit was torn and you couldn't hide your arms. I cried seeing you kill everyone. You cried too.'
Aveline continued to sing, her voice echoing in the large room. She sang until she felt Enna shift in her lap.
"Mmh... who's singing?"
Enna blinked slowly, her eyes opening wider then before. They were actually quite wide when she let them open. Her face slowly turned red.
"A-Aveline. You're in my room... and I'm naked. Am I dreaming?"
"No you nut job. You have a fever due to overexertion and blood loss."
"Blood loss?"
Enna looked at her arms, lifting an eyebrow at the bloodless skin.
"Stop scratching yourself. Just come to me if you can't control it."
Enna looked into Aveline's eyes.
"You know?"
"About Vayr? Yes. Bastard possessed you when you were young. He makes your desires become dark and twisted, like your feelings for me."
Enna raised her hand and touched Aveline's cheek.
"You seem to care for me, but why? I'm insane. I only have full control at times like this. Vayr sleeps when it's this early."
Aveline leaned down, her nose touching Enna's. She closed her eyes as she began to sing again.
"It was you..."
Enna closed her eyes as Aveline's voice echoed through the room once again. When she stopped, she lifted her chin slightly and kissed Enna before she sat back up.
"I know you like me. I like this part of you. The peaceful and beautiful girl laying in my lap. What you like about me is twisted and mangled inside of your head and your heart. Vayr is just a nasty little freak manipulating you."
"I know..."
Enna was blushing even more now. She looked away from Aveline as she sighed deeply.
"Vayr is also messing with my magic. It's incredibly potent when he's asleep, but when he's awake... he changes it. A healing spell may just melt someone or flat out kill them. The school is looking into my possession, but they can't fix it. I'm just broken."
Aveline saw the tears slide down Enna's face as she smiled up at her.
"Broken huh... You're perfectly fine. Vayr is just messing with you. You're not even a real nun, yet you act as one to limit his power. I intend to rid you of him one of these days, but for now I need you to rely on me. Don't harm yourself, just tell me if you need help."
Enna's eyes opened wider as she thanked Aveline. She truly believed Aveline would save her from his torment.
'Vayr is a lower demon, but still a demon. He strives to break someone as quickly as possible, but Enna is just a challenge to him. She only breaks after she can no longer harm herself. That insanity of hers, it's just Vayr messing with her head.'
-
Time passed and Enna had gotten back to her old self. Vayr had woken up.
The small group of girls were getting ready to head out, all equipped with weapons and holding some pocket money.
"S-so, where are we headed first?"
Kaley stood ramrod straight as she asked Aveline.
"Hmm... looking through these, they're pretty easy and form a straight path along the map we have. The end will allow us to meet up with the other two groups. When we finish up over there, we are to head back all together."
Lenora pressed herself against Aveline's back, looking at the list of quests.
"I can't exactly help, but I can point you in the right direction."
Aveline seemed to point in a random direction, but Lenora smiled as she had picked the right path.
Aveline looked towards Enna, who had pulled her arms into her habit. Aveline made a beeline and grabbed her arms before she could start scratching.
"Vayr, cut it out."
Aveline released a massive torrent of pressure on Enna. She stood through it, but stopped scratching.
Aveline leaned close, whispering into Enna's ear.
"Come and play with new Vayr."
