Chapter 12 - The end of a magus family

"Y-You'll always be by my side?"

"Always Sakura"

The boy patted her head softly, making the purple hair beauty to smile. Even behind the situation of her's. He helped her recover from a broken state. 

"Please don't leave me"

Sakura said softly, with how she was treated. The life of her's wasn't in her control, her path was to be a subject to the old man. What could she do? Just listen, she wasn't a nobody, her parents didn't really pay attention to her.

There was her brother, but even he wasn't the person she thought he was. Under the facade of an older brother, he wanted to use her, to break her in his own amusement. Jealousy, was a big factor and especially when he wasn't talented like her.

But something she wished to happen to her, Sakura wished to be cared for. She didn't want to continue this path of life. Desolate, depression, loneliness, she yearned for warmth. Maybe she would've went to her older brother, maybe she would've not cared anymore to just listen to him.

To let him do as he pleases with her. Now she couldn't.

The boy heard it, he smiled and stroked her head. Hugging her as he felt the grip around him tighten. 

"I won't Sakura"

"It's all your fault!" 

Not just the old geezer Zouken Matou, and two master's teamed up on the boy. They saw him as a threat, especially Zouken. He wasn't going to let his little test subject leave him, nor escape from his grasp. The worms inside of her will take affect, and will happen for his future goals and ideals. 

"She doesn't belong to you!"

"And!? Neither does you boy! You'll die here and now!"

The boy gritted his teeth, he wasn't sure how he would escape from here.

"Bring it on!"

The berserker that the boy summoned roared with eagerness to shed blood. He was running out of options, running out of solutions. 

As they had a powerful caster on their side, a slightly weaker servant lancer against his berserker. Still the servant of Zouken was going after him. 

"Shit!"

The boy had good combat experience, but being also attacked by the caster. He was far to outnumbered, with the two master's providing support.

This fight didn't look to bright, nor the chance of escape for the boy was only getting smaller.

[Hours later]

"Luke....?"

Sakura didn't felt a huge sense of unease and went to search for Luke. Not knowing he was part of the Holy Grail war to fight for the wish to cure her. It was raining heavily, she didn't care of being wet.

As she ran to where she thought he may be, a spot where they both met up. A place where no one would find her. A place she could always be close to Luke.

Being near him was home to her, Sakura ran and ran. Until, she got to the spot and she stopped. Her eyes landed on a figure she knew all to well. Her heart dropped, the color of her face became pale. Her mind went on turmoil, the worst fears she had in her mind were coming alive.

"No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, NOOO!"

She reached to the body, as she closely looked at the face. It was Luke, the hole in his chest was evident, he was bleeding profusely. But it didn't even matter, she saw his eyes were blank, lifeless. She put her hands on his arm and shook him.

"Luke! Luke! Luke! Don't leave me Luke!"

She cried, she clench tightly on his shirt. She tried something to stop his bleeding kissing him on his lips. As she heard of mana transfers can happen like this. It might be a stupid and futile solution. But, what can she do?

She didn't know of no healing magic. 

"You promised! Why! Don't die...."

Her voice became cracked with emotion, she felt her life turning upside down. A slow dark energy became to slowly enveloped her. Tears continue to trickle down her cheeks.

'I don't want to believe it...they did it!'

She then knew of a person capable of this.

'Zouken.....'

Her body trembled, as the worms inside of her reacted to her unstable emotional state. Only activating at this moment, right now the body of Luke slowly became particles. In her arms, he was disappearing right before her eyes. 

"No....."

She whispered those words, as he fully disappeared in front of her. The worst of the worst came to true. Darkness instantly surrounded her, she gasped, as she trembled while crying. Small dark looking creatures started to crawl all over her.

She felt scared for a moment, until everything change. She was swallowed by the dark energy inside of her. As her appearance changed, once purple hair became white, her eyes became crimson blood. Emotionless eyes, as a red mark appeared on her left bottom cheek to her neck. Her school uniform change into a dark dress with red linings all over her dress.

Her body became even more profound, enhancing her figure even more. She looked at one direction and she wasn't smiling one bit.

"Listen to me! You dam brat! I made you like this, now you're going to attack me!?"

Zouken feared for his life, he thought he could control Sakura, his servant died easily. The masters died along with their servants. Sakura became to strong with the worm crest planted inside of her. Now Zouken regretted his decision, unable to control her.

He looked at the bodies laying around. A sea of blood engulfed the large home. She looked at him with nothing but anger. As a small smiled appeared on her face.

She was going to torture him for endless days on days. 

"You....aren't nobody, you took what was precious to me, my only light to this life"

The dark swept Zouken as he struggled to move, his face went pale.

"Now, you'll pay the price"
