*MEMORIES-PART 1*

"Are you sure you want to do this?." Lucas asked for the umpteenth time as he helped Lisa lie into the coffin.

He had made a big mistake. She shouldn't have suggested such a stupid idea to her. He didn't even know how things changed to the point where he was now the one begging her to rethink about the situation and know the consequences.

"You can't change my mind Lucas. I have already made my mind up and I promised myself that I'll do this." Her voice sounded firm and Lucas could only sigh in defeat.

"Please be careful." He stared longingly at her. His expression shifting to one of serious worry.

"I'll-" She started but got cut off by a loud scream that echoed around the cold cemetery.

Instantly, the fog appeared back and Lucas furrowed his brows"Don't leave here." He told Lisa before disappearing into the fog that was becoming heavy.

Lisa took a deep breath unconsciously. The small space in the coffin was starting to get to her as she wondered who would have possibly made that sound?.

It sounded like a woman's voice.

"Look who we have here." A coarse voice slithered over Lisa's ears and Lisa stilled instantly.

She couldn't forget that voice.

"Hello lisa, a pleasure meeting you again." Her lookalike's face appeared in view and Lisa's eyes widened instantly.

"What happened to your face?." Lisa shivered. Her lookalike's face appeared to be in a much worse condition than Lisa had met her the other time and Lisa felt her stomach churn in disgust.

Half of her face looked to be melted off, showing the muscles sticking to the bone, one of her eyes was no were to be found as the other one was completely white, her lips looked to be burnt and folded inside completely and finally her clothes were a tattered mess.

"You did this to me!." Her lookalike moved forward and Lisa struggled to get out of the coffin but something held her tightly to the base.

"Now I'm going to kill you in the slowest way possible." An ugly smile crawled up her face as she approached Lisa and Lisa struggled, trying to fight against the external force but it was of no use.

"See you on the other side." Her lookalike shut the door to the coffin and darkness engulfed Lisa instantly.

"Let me out!." Lisa banged the door, her voice begging for someone to hear her.

She didn't like this. The small space, the darkness, the fear of the Unknown.

"Please! Let me out please." She begged. Her heart starting to beat faster than it was meant to. The place was turning stuffy and she knew it won't be a while before her oxygen supply ran out.

"Help me! Anyone, please." Tears flowed down her eyes as she felt her chest tighten from the lack of oxygen.

"Lucas where are you?." Her voice became weaker and she dropped hand to the side.

She hated this! She hated being weak! She hated not being able to protect herself! How could she stand beside Lucas when she couldn't even stand on her own?

She shouldn't have been with him.

She shouldn't have fallen in love with him.

But yet she did and each time she always ended up in one trouble or the other.

"I wish I could stand beside you." Her small voice cracked and she took in a deep haggard breath.

It didn't help.

A sharp pain attacked her chest and she groaned painfully in pain, trying to move but the space provided her no such privilege.

It hurt. The pain hurt more than anything she had ever experienced.

She knew it. Even if this coffin wasn't going to kill her then her heart was.

***

Lucas appeared at a little distance away from lisa, he made sure he could still see her and return to her immediately he found out who made that sound.

"Aaagh!"

The scream was heard again and this time, it was further into the cemetery. Lucas frowned at this coincidence.

He had planned not to take his eyes off Lisa and suddenly something was leading him away from Lisa. He had to think of this wisely.

"Reaper." He whispered and a reaper appeared in front of him.

"Guard that girl with your life. If anything happens to her, I'll kill you. Understood?." He gave the command and the reaper nodded and disappeared.

"As you wish your Highness."

Seeing as that was done, Lucas apparated from there and appeared at the source of the sound.

It was a woman on the floor. Covered in black from head to toe, flowing black hair, a black mask that covered half of her face and her purple eyes shone brightly as a dark cloud covered the skies.

From what Lucas could see, she was badly injured as several ghouls surrounded her, attacking her from all sides.

His eyes studied the woman for a second before he jumped in.

"Ghouls." He said in a foreign language. A language only lower creatures understood.

"We don't answer to you." Their multiple voices echoed as they spoke a foreign tongue.

They all left the woman and attacked him, making Lucas sigh in exhaustion.

What happened next couldn't even be considered a fight. It was literally a one sided massacre. Before any of the ghouls could come close to him, a strong force came and crushed them all to the ground. Turning them to nothing but dust as the cold wind carried Thier remains away.

"As expected of the most powerful guardian angel." Her female voice chuckled and Lucas turned to where the woman had been staying to see nothing there.

"Seems like you know me." Lucas mused, his eyes taken in every small movements in the fog.

Damn this fog.

"Not only do I know you, I've dedicated my whole life to end you." The female voice sounded beside him and a knife followed soon after which Lucas dodged by moving to the side.

"Sounds great. I'm sure it has been fun." By instinct, Lucas jumped and a pair of twin swords passed underneath him and returned back into the trees.

"It has been. I've been planning this for quite a while and now I've actually decided to pay you a visit." The woman appeared in front of him, her purple eyes narrowing to slits.

"A pleasure to make your acquaintance." Lucas took his stance and the woman's eyes twinkled.

"I go by the name queen mother and my goal is to eliminate your sweet girl."
