David
*When Makimi entered the building, she would be greeted with a series of different masks and costumes hung on shelves. Some were for parties, others for more nefarious reasons. Dried blood was on the counter and on the floor. Seems though it's been there for years. She would even find a set of 3 skeletons untouched by anyway. One male skeleton was face down and had a knife still lodged within its spine. A female skeleton had a knife in its eye socket with its mouth fixed in a scream. The last one was also a female with knife within its rib cage.*
Tamara
*Makimi knew right away that she was in the right place already. She could almost imagine herself coming here to pick out a costume for a masquerade ball, had it not been in such neglect. Makimi was tired from her long trip, so she lit a fire to sleep next to. She fell asleep quickly, not even bothering to take off her white cloak first.*
David
*When she awoke later on, she would find nothing happened. The store was just as vacant as it was when she walked in.*
Tamara
*Believing that she was truly alone, she opened up one of her spell books and began to read, thinking now would be a good time to try and learn a spell.*
David
*The wind was blowing outside, making the vacant store grow cold. Makimi would need to explore the store in hopes of starting a fire to keep warm.*
Tamara
*Makimi got up and went to the back of the store, noticing a door which probably led to a storage room, so she opened it up.*
David
*Makimi would accidentally step on the skeleton with a knife in its rib cage. It's bony hands would brush against her heel, revealing a wedding ring.*
Tamara
*Makimi crouched down next to the skeleton, puzzled. She had noticed the skeletons when she walked in, thinking they were just random victims. Now she wasn't so sure. She held the hand in hers, examining the ring.* "Beautiful..."
David
*If she looked to the female skeleton's side, she would see the male had died next to it. The male was also wearing a wedding ring.*
Tamara
*Makimi set the skeleton's hand down and looked at the other one. It was oddly romantic, at least to her, knowing they died together. She then looked at the third skeleton, the one with the knife in her eye.*
David
*That particular skeleton's jaw was shaped into a scream. If Makimi examined the bones she would find deep knife cuts within the bone itself in her arms and rib cage and her other eye socket.*
Tamara
*It was clear that this woman had suffered the most before she died, while the other two might have been killed in one stab. Questions swirled around in her mind like the rushing winds beyond the window. Makimi was getting distracted. She needed to find a fireplace.*
Patty
"Well, well. I didn't think I would see you again."
*An all too familiar voice said from behind. The Ghost had blended in with the various costumes and emerged from them.* 
"I would ask how you found me, but I know your persistence so I won't bother."
*He would tap one of his signature black knifes against one of the wooden shelves... Nervously it would seem.*
Tamara
*Makimi heard his voice, but didn't even bother to turn around. She took off her winter cloak, letting it gently fall to the floor. Despite the cold, she was wearing her signature short-skirted dress*

"And I thought you would be happy to see me. Your voice says one thing, but I know the truth."
Patty
"The truth of what exactly? Definitely a bold statement for one who just arrived here."
Tamara
"I have been here at least an hour, in case you were not watching me sleep like I know you have done at my estate."
Patty
"Oh, please every assassin watches their targets sleep before making the decision to strike or not. I am no exception."
Tamara
"But you did it for many nights. Deliberately. Almost as if it were something you looked forward to."
Patty
"A bit of a bold assumption to make. For your information I did it twice. Thank you. Now why are you in this city riddled with filth and decay?"
Tamara
*Makimi turned around, her icy blue eyes peering into his mask.* "Looking for someone I missed."
Patty
*The Ghost stumbled on his words, and about tripped over himself.*
"What are you on about? Has the cold damaged your brain further?"
Tamara
*Makimi smirked. It appeared as though she was more powerful than she thought. She got closer.* "The notorious Ghost, afraid of a little girl? Oh, how the mighty fall."
Patty
"There are 3 skeletons in here, and dried blood everywhere. And your first reaction is to gush over me? That's... Unique."
Tamara
"Do you still not understand? You are not the one who makes my heart pound. I speak to the real you, the one who does not need to hide themselves behind a mask."
Patty
"Really? This mask is who I am thanks to those 3. That's why I came here to settle things with myself, and I feel grand for it. This mask IS me. And I feel more complete than I ever have! I removed those very moments of my life that I have kept suppressed for so long. Now I am in control of my own being, not separate and confused like I had been. You're too late, I am The Ghost and no one else. The person behind this mask is gone."
Tamara
"I do not believe that, not even for a second. I have seen the other side of you with my own two eyes. The side who cares about someone other than themselves. And I am going to prove it."
*Without warning, Makimi grabbed the Ghost, pushed his mask up just barely above his lips, and kissed him.*
Patty
*The Ghost reacted quickly as he caught her hand and threw her backwards.* 
"I killed him too. And now this game of ours, ends now."
*He brandished his signature knife in his right hand. His aura was filled with the intent to kill.*
Tamara
*Makimi was thrown back hard, smacking into a wall. When she looked up at him, her eyes were filled with tears.* "...So be it."
Patty
*The Ghost was uncharacteristically silent as he wasted no time and attempted to hip check Makimi back into the wall before attempting a follow impale of her check into her jaw with his knife.*
Tamara
*The knife hit its mark true, blood pouring out of the side of her face. She stared directly at him all the while, with the dead eyes of a china doll.*
Patty
*The Ghost's hand trembled as the knife never hit. He was inches... No centimeters away from connecting with her cheek. The Ghost crumpled to the ground clutching his knife while staring at the hardwood floor.*
"I can't..."
Tamara
*Makimi took a deep breath, sighing with relief. All this time, she never knew if her gamble would pay off, or if she would be proven wrong. Makimi closed her eyes, overcome by emotion.*
"It was you... It is you..."
Patty
"No, it's not. Like I said I killed him. But still he lives... No matter. I may not be able to bring myself to kill you because of him, but I will still murder. You can not change me, no one can."
Tamara
*Makimi got onto her knees so that she could be at eyes level with him.* "I have no intention of changing you. But I am never leaving your side. Not ever again."
Patty
"No, you're not I am." 
*The Ghost stood up with his knife trembling in his hand. He went into the backroom and shut and locked the door.*
Tamara
*Makimi followed him, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open the door. No matter. She had her answer. The part of Ghost that loved her was still alive, and that was enough for her. Makimi sat down next to the door, lost in thought.*
Patty
*A struggled was heard as a new voice screamed beyond the door.*
"NOOOOO, YOU WILL NOT DIE UNTIL, I SAY SO!!!" 
*A thick black tendril pierced through the locked door ripping it apart.*
Tamara
*Makimi stood beside the door in silence, afraid to get any closer* "What... The fuck... Was that?!"
Clara
"YOU HAVE DEFIED ME LONG ENOUGH. You're allowing another one cloud your mind. Have you forgotten our deal? I gave you the tools for revenge, and you fed me their souls as payment. My sweet naive friend, you're allowing another one play with your mind. And what did you do to the last one?" 
*The entity chuckled.*
"First you gutted her. Slashed her arms and when she was on the ground screaming, begging for mercy, you cut her eye out. Slowly but surely your blade cut through. Even though she was dead by then, you gouged her other eye out too. Hehehehe. Now kill this one, she's a burden. I'm all you need."
