Scarlet stalked Giselle through the shadows and ruins of Soul Society as the war continued in the background. Kotori stayed as far away as possible so she could recover, regardless of this. The Flame spirit scoffed under her breath.
"Tch, she's playing with her food." Kotori mumbled as she leaned against a sturdy wall. "Still....she did save me." She winched a little as she closed on eye. "Damn, it's gonna take me a while to recover..."
Kotori glanced out and could only watch as Scarlet disappeared off in the distance. Kotori was worried about one thing, the fact that she knew Giselle could revive the dead was worrying, she knew if they came towards her. She'd be shit out of luck on surviving.
As Scarlet continued to stalk Giselle, the Grimm girl snickered softly. She watched as the Quincy left carnage in her wake. Reviving the dead to be her puppets, it didn't bother Scarlet one bit. She wasn't seen by them, which made things easier for her. The more she prowled and stalked Giselle like a lioness stalking its prey, the more Scarlet was drawing closer to her. The crimson red eyes glowing within the shadows.
Giselle came to a stop near an active battle that wasn't far from where she was at. She glanced around and found herself cornered, she backed up against one of the fallen over buildings. Her back against the wall like a trapped rabbit, she glanced up above her as an idea sparked in her head. If she could find out who was on the other side, she could make them her zombies.
Listening carefully. Giselle heard the war cries of Shinigami and a familiar voice. It was Candice, she was on the other side, to make sure it was her and not some else. Giselle walked away from the wall, turning around and backing up a few feet, she started to run into a full sprint and jumped up the wall and grabbed onto the ledge. However, in doing so. She had let her guard down. Scarlet stepped out from the shadows as she noticed what the Quincy was doing, she smirked as she silently walked over and then grabbed Giselle's foot.
"Going somewhere?" Scarlet asked with a purr in her voice. "This side of the map hasn't been unlocked yet, I'm sorry to say this but. You've lost your chance."
Giselle gasped as she was yanked down from the wall. Landing with a hard thud, she groaned in pain as she turned over onto her back. Scarlet grinned devilishly as she raised her foot up and slammed down hard on the Quincy's stomach, causing her to gasp out in pain. The Grimm girl chuckled as she twisted her heel into Giselle's stomach. "Ah...Ah? I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to speak up. I can't hear you clearly."
Giselle tried to push Scarlet off her, but the Grimm's strength and weight was too much for her. With a sadistic grin, Scarlet pressed harder on the Quincy's stomach, pressing her foot in. Scarlet continued to apply pressure as she leaned over. Her warm breath against Giselle's skin sent shivers down the Qunicy's spine. Scarlet smirked as she trailed a finger down her face and jawline, watching as Giselle tensed up and shivered as goosebumps appeared on her skin.
"It's a shame really." Scarlet purred. "You could've been so much more useful to me." Her lips curled into a sadistic smirk, her hand stopped at the collar of her uniform as she quickly grasped and held onto Giselle's collar. "But do you want to know what I'm going to do with you? I'm not going to eat you, oh no. I wouldn't want you blood flowing through my body, if you were to somehow survive this encounter. I'm going to do so much worse."
Before Giselle could ask what was going to happen, Scarlet snickered as she removed her foot from her stomach and lifted her up off the ground, Scarlet's Grimm strength pinned her against the wall, leaning her body against hers. Scarlet's warm breath tickled at Giselle's skin once more. "I'm going to kill you, nice and slow. I'm going to see that you watch as you are torn to pieces, one by one...and then, when the last bit of you is remaining. I'm going to feed yourself to you..."
Giselle's eyes widened in terror and pure horror, she shook her head at what Scarlet was going to do to her. "No, please...." She begged for her mercy but she was also hoping her voice would reach Candice, hoping she would come to her aid.
Scarlet snickered as she leaned closer, her face inches away from hers. "Where should I start first? Your legs perhaps? Or your fingers? Slowly working on your arms and then to your legs?" She pulled away as she eyed Giselle for a minute.
Giselle swallowed a dry lump that formed in her throat, her stomach churned in panic, anxiety began to take hold. She felt sick to her stomach. Then, something unexpected happened. She felt the bile and the acidic taste of stomach acid rising up her throat. Scarlet noticed this as she moved back and punched her fist hard into the Quincy's stomach, hearing and seeing her vomit. Giselle puked and vomited all over self and Scarlet's arm. Her face paled as she panted, the disgusting taste was on her tongue and in her mouth.
"Whaddya know, so you do have emotions after all, you're not just a lifeless doll." Scarlet spoke in a mocking tone, she took Giselle's hat off her head and used it to clean her arm of the vomit. "But you know what, I won't do all that to you...no. I think I'll save that for someone else." She grins widely her fangs bared. "I think I know exactly what I'll do."
Giselle swallowed some air, despite the taste of vomit still lingering in her mouth, she had to deal with the taste. She glanced up at Scarlet. Hearing her say she was going to do something else to her, made her blood run cold. Her mouth a gap still, Scarlet smirked once more before she shoved her first into the Quincy's mouth. Scarlet grabbed Giselle's tongue and yanked it out, tearing it out of her mouth. Giselle screamed in pain, her mouth filling up with her own blood, it poured out of her mouth like a waterfall. The Quincy gagged and choked on her blood. Gurgling sounds came from up her throat, Scarlet only watched in pure pleasure. Giselle fell over onto her side, her blood began to pool around her head, her eyes went wide in horror as she saw Scarlet raise her scythe up over her head.
"Sweet dreams." Scarlet spoke. "When you get to hell, tell them Scarlet sent ya." She swung Black Rose down as the blade of the scythe sliced through the Quincy's neck like butter, separating her head from her body. Scarlet knew it wasn't done, not yet. She glanced around for a moment before she spotted a metal pole that looked like it was rusting. She reached over to it and yanked it out, the metallic metal pole shimmered in the light. Scarlet licked her lips before stabbing the pole into Giselle's head.

On the other side of the fallen building, Candice heard the muffled voice of Giselle and another voice. She didn't recognize the voice, she scoffed as she looked around at the dead bodies of the Shinigami who had stood in her way. The Quincy made her way up and over the rubble and fallen debris. She heard silence, no other sound. Something was wrong...she knew Giselle wouldn't let her guard down for a second, let alone have someone kill her.
Once she had reached the top of the building, she glanced down. Frozen in shock and disbelief, Candice's only thought and movement was as followed, she took one step forward and jumped down, landing on her feet in the fresh warm puddle of blood, her white boots stained red. Her mouth moved, but no words came out. It was like everything around her was on mute, who did this? She wondered, her eyes fell upon the brutal scene. The way the pole was stabbed through Giselle's severed head. Giselle's tongue was at the top of the pole, which was to represent a flag, the sickening sight made Candice feel unstable and uneasy, she clinched both of her fists at her sides, her teeth clenched together and she gritted them.
"Who did this to you?" Candice spoke to no one, as if asking Giselle herself. "Who did this? I swear I'll make them pay tenfold for their crime." She was so lost in her short monologue, that she didn't hear or even sense Scarlet behind her. "I will find who did this, and get revenge for you."
Scarlet smirked as she crossed her arms, she listened to the Quincy speak. She did however notice sparks of lightning emit around her as the air became staticky. She stayed silent as she disappeared into the shadows. Watching and waiting for her next move, like a predator watching its prey.
Candice glanced around as she cradled Giselle's dead body in her arms, she gritted her teeth. "I will find out who did this to you Giselle, you hear me?! You bastard! I will find you, and when I do, I'm going to gut you and leave you to rot!"
Scarlet couldn't help but grin, she licked her lips as she began to imagine the slaughter fest she would have with Candice. She couldn't wait, but for now she stayed hidden, waiting for the right moment to strike her new toy.

Kotori shivered a bit as she felt the change in the air, something was wrong and it didn't sit right with her. Her crimson red eyes scanned around as the Flame spirit kept her guard up just in case a Quincy came looking for her. Her eyes moved left to right, then she heard footsteps. Cursing under her breath, Kotori summoned her battle axe. Getting into a defensive position.
Kotori felt her heart beating fast and hard like a drum against her rib-cage, she felt dizzy. The stress of being in a vulnerable and weakened state, made her feel uneasy. She swallowed a dry lump that formed in her throat, she clinched her battle axe as her knuckles turned white. Her crimson red eyes glanced down to the ground as saw a shadow approaching.
"Hey kid, relax I ain't gonna hurt ya." Kenpachi spoke as he came around the corner. "I'm searching for someone."
"All the enemy Quincy's are that way." Kotori pointed over to the fallen building. "Scarlet went that way, going after Giselle. I'm not sure if she's found another or not." She then glanced at the dead body before her. "This one here is Bambietta. She was the one I was fighting, this isn't the first time she died."
Kenpachi raised an eyebrow up, curious at what she meant. "What do you mean? Isn't her first time?"
Kotori relaxed her shoulders as she closed her eyes. "Giselle can revive the dead and make them zombies."
Kenpachi smirked as he chuckled. "Ah, so that explains it. I was wondering why the Shinigami who had fallen were back up on their feet again." He turned his head to the side seeing Bambietta's dead body. "I know you didn't do that to her."
Kotori nodded lightly. "That's right, Scarlet did that." She opened her eyes as she looked towards Kenpachi. "Who are you even looking for anyway?"
"My little pal, Yachiru Kusajishi. The lieutenant of the 11th Division." Kenpachi answered as he leaned against the rubble. "Haven't seen her around here have ya?"
Kotori shakes her head. "No, Yoruichi and I split up to cover more ground to help others. I haven't seen her."
Kenpachi crossed his arms as he looked up towards the sky. "I'm sure she can handle things on her own without my help. Anyway, since I'm here. I might as well stick around." He pushed himself off the wall and glanced towards Kotori. "Come on kid, you shouldn't stay here and wait for something to happen."
Kotori didn't seem to hesitate, she nodded lightly as she followed Kenpachi, the two leaving the area. But Kotori began to wonder, just what the hell Scarlet was doing? If only she knew what horrors awaited for Candice. But for now, Kotori just did as Kenpachi had asked and followed behind him.
