In a far away country, there was a mansion. The mansion was occupied by three people, they called themselves The Axis. The mansion was surrounded by forest but it still recognized by the villagers. They said that sometimes some girls went to the forest on they own and never returned. It included a very beautiful young woman named (name).

She was the most beautiful woman in villages and was admired and respected by everyone. She was kind and nice to everyone. She always wore a very sweet smile that gave warmth to each person who saw her smile. She was the flower of the villages.

One day, (name) was going to the forest to gather woods. The villagers had warned her not to go to the forest, but she just told them that everything was going to be fine. That night, she didn’t return, so did the day after and the day after that. The villagers looked for (name) for days but they didn’t find her and thus exclaimed that (name) was another victim. They built a memoriam for her.

After a month though, one odd feeling struck the villagers mind. A ‘strange’ thing happened to the villages. After (name) was gone… No other girls went to the forest and lost…

Glowing purple orbs stared at the dark sky. The sky was covered by dark clouds, no sign of any light. The sky grumbles with thunder and soon the rain poured down. The sound of the rain filled the room he was in. He was just sitting there, on a chair near a table, drinking his wine. He sipped it little by little as he recalled his memories. Well, nothing special about his past, actually, except one thing.

He put the glass on the table when three exact knocks was heard from the door. He turned his face to see who it was. The door was opened and revealed two people. “I brought her,” said a deep and low voice. The man’s voice echoed through the room. He had blond hair that was slicked back and he had red eyes. His jacket was hanging on his shoulder, just like always. Beside him were you who wore a simple long white dress to her toes. She had beautiful (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes. Your gaze fixed on the other man across you.

“Good. Grazie, Lutz. You may go now.” The man spoke and Lutz went outside and closed the door behind him.

Now just he and you left in the room. “Come here, (name)…” the man gestured with his hand and you obeyed. You approached him and stood beside him as you folded your hands in front of you nicely. He stared at you and you stared back at him. Your eyes were beautiful like always, but with his sharp eyes, you real eyes were exposed. They were actually dull. They showed no life, no emotions for you were just a doll…

“Do you need something, Luciano?” you voice was almost smooth but still imperfect. It held no tone or feelings… it’s monotone. But for him, your voice was like that of an angel, especially when you called his name. Whenever you spoke, Luciano would definitely repeat your words in his mind as he recalled your real voice.

Luciano stood and said, “Stay still, (name).” Then he started to scan you from top to bottom. He walked around you and when he was in front of you again, he stopped. His gloved hands caressed your shoulders then to your arms. Your body was perfect thanks to Kuro. He helped the most in building your body and your beautiful face. Just one thing he could not give to you… Emotions.

Luciano walked pass you and said, “Follow me.”

You turned your body and followed him to wherever he was going. As a doll, you had to have something as your guide. That’s why Lutz escorted you to Luciano earlier. You couldn’t walk by yourself and you couldn’t do anything by yourself. You walked behind Luciano and the trip was silent.

There were no maids anymore in the mansion. Most of them fled to the woods or were killed by Luciano himself after that happened. Now, there were just four of you in the mansion but everything was managed. He went to the library and opened the door. He went straight to the novel section. He took a book called (favorite novel/book) and handed it to you. You looked at him then to the book. “This one is nice, Luciano…”

“Oh, look, Luciano! You even have this book! This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. You should read it too!”

“Yeah, it is…” he replied and put the book to its place again. He strolled around the library for a while and went to another part of the mansion. He descended some stairs and went to the kitchen where everything was arranged neatly. He stopped at the door and looked at you over his shoulder then back to the kitchen.

"Buon giorno, Luciano! How about a plate of pasta for today? Sounds good?”

He closed his eyes for a while then he left the kitchen, you still followed him. He went to the eastern part of his mansion, the dance hall. He used to use it to throw a party among his friends, The Axis, including his brother and Lutz’s brother. However, it was not used anymore. The walls were cracked and the paintings were torn. The pillars and the floors were dusted. He walked to the middle of the room and you followed him too. He turned his body and looked at you. You stared at him with your dull eyes and said, “How about a dance or two, Luci?”

”Wow, what a wonderful hall you have, Luci! And you can hold a big party like this? Unbelievable.”

“Well, it’s nothing, bella. May I have this dance?”

“Sì!”

He took your hand and held it tightly before he released it. The way you called him with his nickname also made him happy. The one and only person who could call him that was you. Not even his companion could call him that, especially his big brother. He sighed and began walking again. Now he went upstairs again and to the large corridor that ended with doors that led to his room. He opened the door and the two of you went in. He walked firmly to the side of his bed as you followed behind him. He walked around his bed as he let his hand slide along the bed. There were so many memories with you here, the memories that pained him the most.

Luciano kept walking out of his room the front door of the mansion. Just before the door, Kuro was there, standing as if he was waiting you and Luciano to arrive. “Are you going?” Kuro asked Luciano.

Luciano didn’t speak anything and just approached him and said, “Take care of her while I’m gone. Keep her in the mansion.” Then he opened the doors and went outside, ignoring the storm.

Kuro made you gazed at him and now you were following Kuro.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Outside, although the storm was not easy, Luciano kept walking through the woods. HE cut away any branch or bush that got in his way with his knife. He made his way to the end of the woods where a cliff stayed. He stood at the end of the ground, close to the cliff. Thunder struck here and there, but he didn’t care. He turned right and walked along the cliff until he reached a tomb.

The tomb was beautifully made. It was surrounded by red roses and was well kept. On the tomb was written, ‘In Honor of (name) (last name)’

As soon as he read that, he fell to his knees in front of the tomb. He clenched his teeth, refusing to shed any tears that threatened to fall. But to no avail, his tears fell from his eyes. The event was still crystal clear in his mind. Something he wanted to forget but was also something he did not dare to forget, the day when you left him.

He still recalled when you first arrived in his mansion. You, who were the most beautiful woman in the villages, were not brought there like other girls. You walked there on your own, yes, but still conscious. He was perplexed by your act, completely unexpected of such thing to happen. Shortly after you were in, He fell in love with you.

You were not afraid of him and his companions as you told him that they were not actually scary. The Axis developed fondness to you and then accepted you there with one condition: never attract other girls. They agreed and you were actually happy living with them. New things you discovered and new experienced you felt. Everything was so amazing.

As other girls were forced to be maids, you remain who you were.

However, months after that, you didn’t expect to live such a short life.

The situation was mostly like this, but the storm came later. At that time, you and Luciano was in the woods, standing by the cliff to enjoy the sunrise. You were happy he brought you there. He hugged your waist from behind and spoke something he rarely said, “Ti amo, bella…”

You hugged his arms and felt water fell to your hand. In a matter of seconds, the sky went dark and storm dominated. The wind blew strongly. You suggested going home and he agreed. Just when you walked a distance from the cliff, the storm was getting stronger and blew the both of you toward the cliff. Practically, you were the first one to the cliff, but Luciano pulled you in front of him so he was behind you. You wanted to tell him not to but the wind was too strong and the thunder cover you voice. As both of you become closer and closer to the cliff, you struggled from Luciano’s grip and turned your body to face him. You grabbed his hand and pulled him with all you’ve got and somehow you were both turned around.

So at that time, you switched position with him and as you released your grab from his hand, you fell backward to the cliff. It’s as if the time stopped and began to move again in slow motion. Luciano tried his best to stretch his hand to get you; you also stretched your hand to get his hand. However, a log of a tree broke you apart and he failed to get you as you fell, smiling.

It was since then that the mansion didn’t have any maids. After you fell, Luciano mourned greatly and wreaked all his anger to whatever in his mansion. Whatever he spotted with his eyes was broken, whoever he saw in his sight was killed. Three fourth of the maids were killed, the rest of them ran away. It took a long time for Lutz and Kuro to calm him.

Everything was still fresh in his mind and yet it had been a year since (name’s) death. He looked at the ground as he clenched his fist and tears still pouring. He tried to speak but his voice became hoarse from crying. In front of your tomb now, your images started to fill his mind again.

“(name)…”

He felt empty ever since you were gone. He, the one who always got what he wanted, was now unable to regain your existence by his side. Even though his name, Luciano, was feared throughout the world, it was nothing compared to you. What he wanted was you and only you, but he could not get it anymore for you were dead.

“(name)…”

You made his life changed. Your smile brightened his days. Oh, he missed your smiles so much. He missed your real voice, your body, your touch, everything about you.

If only he could repeat that time and save you…

“(name)… Ti amo… per sempre….” He whispered and lifted his head to face the dark sky, “Ti prego, torna da me!!”

But you would never return…
