As Eren would look around the main room, there was only one door open, and that would lead into a banquet hall...and a horrific scene could be found. Six people...dead. Their stomachs were cut up and their internal organs were spewing out of the open wound, and apparently pieces of candy were stuffed into the organs and guts of the six corpses.There was a small note on the table that the six dead corpses were sitting in, and the note read:

On the First Twilight, the one with the key will offer up six sacrifices to the Witch.

---

"Hopefully her training she mentioned earlier isn't too much..." Takahisa said, being able to hear some gunshots from the training ground. Apparently he knew that Corentine's weapon was a combination between dual butterfly swords and pistols.

Eren read the note. "What?" he looked around. "Kaika?!" he called.

---

Rachel stood. "Speaking of training, I've gotta go..." she kissed Takahisa's cheek. "See ya.." and with that, she.left.

There was no sign of Kaika anywhere, though, there was footsteps that could be heard, coming closer to Eren's location.

---

Takahisa waved to her as soon as she left.

Eren looked around. "Helllooo???"

---

Armin slid over to Takahisa. "Soooooo? Whatcha been doin?"

Eren would see a small golden butterfly, which suddenly was enveloped in a golden light and soon dispersed to show a woman in a fancy dress.

"Such a surprise to find someone wandering the halls of this place," the woman said with a sense of curiosity.

---

"Er..nothing much," Takahisa said with a little jump, actually forgetting that Armin was there. The whole meet-up with Corentine and the newfound relationship connection with Rachel completely occupied Takahisa for that long.

Eren stepped back, reaching into his jacket for his switchblade. "Who're you?"

---

Armin chuckled. "Okaaaay... " he raised an eyebrow. "But I don't promise I won't say anything..."

The woman only chuckled in amusement of Eren's sudden cautiousness. "How rude of me to not introduce myself to you, I'm Beatrice, the Golden and Endless Witch, but I suppose I should make this more relevant for you. I happen to be to know Kaika very well, she is my apprentice after all," the woman said, apparently she could tell that Eren had his switchblade with him even though she had made no comment on that matter.

---

"Oh, thanks," Takahisa smiled, and then saw Corentine walk back into the mess hall. "So, how did training go?" he asked curiously.

"Boring. Guess I don't need to train myself that much anymore," Corentine said as she twirled her two gunblades in her hands.

Eren looked at her suspiciously. "Where's Kaika?"

---

Armin smirled and stood. "I'll be in the map room if you need me..."

"She's not here," Beatrice said with a vague tone to it.

---

"Oh, alright," Takahisa said to Armin.

"So, Takahisa, wanna spar or something?" Corentine asked as she held the two gunblades tightly.

"Uh...are you sure that's a good idea?" Takahisa blinked as she suggested that, since this could end badly.

"Don't worry, I can control myself," Corentine reassured him.

Armin left and went down the hall.

---

Eren grabbed his switchblade carefully. "Do you know where she might be? I wouldn't be here if she wasn't near here or something of the sort..."

"Okay, then let's get outside before we start," Takahisa said to Corentine as he headed out the mess hall.

"Good idea. I was actually planning to spar with you inside there," Corentine nervously laughed and grinned.

---

"Oh...well, you can check this room and your answers will be there," Beatrice said with a sly smile, a door not too far from them immediately opened. Before Eren could question her any more, the Witch disappeared in a cluster of golden butterflies, leaving Eren that only lead to the opened door.

Jean watched them carefully.

---

Eren walked towards the door cautiously. "Hmm..."

"Alright, outside and open for some sparring, you ready?" Corentine grinned as she merged the two gunblades together to make them a double-edged gunblade, and got herself into a battle stance.

"Of course I'm ready," Takahisa said as he reached into his pocket to take out a single flower seed. He threw the seed into the air, and then held out his hand to show a "Third Fonist Seal," using that to uncover the seed's power. The seed then levitated into the air and thorny vine burst out of the seed.

---

Once Eren would walk into the room, there was a huge mess of what seemed to be once a bedroom, and not to mention that there was two corpses in this room as well as a huge amount of fresh blood splattered all over the room. On the left wall, the first corpse was nailed brutally to the wall, the arms and legs dangling from being decapitated from the body. Though, the creepiest part of this first corpse was that this corpse was actually Kaika's, her long hair was the obvious trait to prove that this was Kaika's dead body. To the wall to the right, the second corpse was not decapitated like Kaika's, but the face was smashed in so much that you couldn't tell who the person was by the face, at least it was able to be identified to be a boy around Kaika's age. On the floor, there was a note that was somehow not drenched in the blood of the brutal murders, but it read:

On the second twilight, those who remain shall tear apart the two who are close.

This note would suggest that the boy that was killed here alongside Kaika was her boyfriend. Since this was a dream, it was unclear if this was just something to come up in a nightmare, or that this would really happen in the future.

Eren froze. "Kaika?" he whispered, walking over to her body. "No..."

---

Jean followed and sat, watching.

(nosey Jean )

Wherever this place was, Kaika was really dead here, murdered as it was clearly appeared to be.

"So you found her," Beatrice reappeared, but seemed like she was unbothered by how gruesome these corpses were left here.

---

Corentine only ran towards him with her blade ready to swing, but was stopped by the vines sudden movement to stop her from getting close. This made her stop and block the vines from hitting her with her blade in a blocking position.

"Very crafty with the vines huh?" Corentine commented on how well Takahisa managed to control these vines as if they were a part of him.

Eren turned to her. "What happened to Kaik?"

---

Jean chuckled as he watched them.

"Killed. Isn't that what it looks like it happened?" Beatrice said with a tone that made it sound like she didn't care that two people were killed here.

---

Knowing that this vine was going to be a bother, Corentine backed away and aimed her gunblade at the vines, shooting once. Instead of bullets, a powerful blast of wind ripped through the vines, rendering those useless for now. Seeing that his vines were gone, Takahisa called back that single flower seed back into his hands as he quickly moved out of the way of the intense wind blast.

Jean raised an.eyebrow.at the two. "Wow..." he.mumbles.

---

Eren turned. "I meant how did she die? Kaika wouldn't die easily,.."

Takahisa decided to go with a different approach, putting his hands on the ground and another fonist seal appearing.

Corentine then felt a bit of a tremor under her, and realized what he was planning to do. Pointing her gunblade and jumping a bit, she shot the gunblade to propel herself into the air with the help of the wind blast she shot, just in time to get out of there as large vines began to grow right out of the ground under her.

---

"Oh, so you mean that the Kaika you know can't die easily, because here, this Kaika died pretty fast. I would know that because I'm the one responsible," Beatrice said with a shrug, making the point that this was a completely different Kaika he was seeing here.

Jean was joined by Sasha and Mikasa and they watched the two fight.

---

Eren looked at her. "Wha-- what?!" he flicked his switchblade open. "Why?!"
