Edit: Finally got it. Here's one part

++Chapter 3++
Remnants
Runa sat down in her room, wearing green and pink polka-dot pjs. The rain was pounding outside and she knew it wasn’t a good day for shopping. Runa picked up her laptop and researched about a white-haired girl. A picture of a girl near Runa’s age popped up and Runa clicked on the link. There was a newspaper article about the death of Ruki Knight. Her death was a mystery but that was it, no other info.
“It’s as if someone covered it up…” Runa murmured.
Runa started at the picture and realized the white-haired girl she had been seeing around looked like a younger version of Ruki. She noticed the silver pocket watch on Ruki’s waist in the picture. Runa grabbed the pocket watch on her desk and compared the two.
It’s the exact same one, Runa thought.
Runa looked back a the picture and saw another girl with Ruki who’s name was Enzeru.
“What a pretty name…” Runa said softly, as she looked up Enzeru.
Enzeru had her own website and had posted a blog a few months ago. Runa clicked on the blog to find out that Enzeru had committed suicide and that Ruki was the one who posted the blog. The blog read:
This is from the letter that Enzeru left us.
I can’t take it anymore, I blame that damn woman. She’s the reason I’m in this predictment. My shadow won’t go away! All she does is feed me this negative crap. I’m done, forgive me Ruki.
Enzeru
She’s gone…Her inner demon sent her over the edge but it’s that woman’s fault in the first place for her inner demon separating from her. It’s only Shinu, Cino and myself left. There is also that strange woman who’s after our demons and we also haven’t figured out how to get our demons back to where they belong. I hope soon, Shinu and Cino are fighting again. I have to go. RIP Enzeru.
Runa stared at the screen.
“Shinu?! Cino?!” Runa cried out, falling backwards from surprised.
Inner demons? What’s that? Runa wondered, staring up at the ceiling.
Runa’s eyes wandered to the window she was just sitting beside to see a stranger wearing a yellow slicker standing outside. The stranger punched the window, cracks forming in the glass. Runa scrambled up and grabbed a hold of her brother’s baseball bat which she kept in her room.
“Come on!” Runa shouted, as the stranger punched the glass again, shattering it.
The strange opened the window and climbed through, dripping wet onto Runa’s snow white carpet. As the stranger started towards Runa, he or she stopped to look at her laptop.
“Pathetic…They let those girls die…” The stranger murmured.
“What do you want?” Runa demanded.
The stranger looked at Runa and she saw that he or she had strange, red eyes.
“I want you dead!” The stranger lashed out, running at Runa.
Runa swung the bat but the stranger grabbed it and pulled it free from her hands. Surprised, Runa shoved the stranger back who lost balance and fell. Taking the opportunity, Runa opened the door and ran out into the hallway.
“Ronnie! Dad!” Runa called but there was no answer back.
The stranger pursued Runa down the hallway, as she ran down the stairs. Suddenly Runa felt a blunt object hit her head from behind and lost her footing, tumbling down the stairs. Still dazed, Runa reached up and felt a warm liquid dripping down her neck. Runa heard footsteps and through her blurred vision, she saw the stranger desending down the stairs.
“Help!” Runa screamed, as she tried to get up but a sharp shot through her leg.
The phone started ringing and Runa frantically crawled as she grabbed it.
“Help me!” Runa screamed into the phone, “He’s gonna kill me!”
“Runa?! What’s going on?!” Shinu’s voice asked.
The stranger knocked the phone out of Runa’s hands and wrapped his hands around her throat.
“Runa?! Runa!!” Shinu called from the phone.

The rest of Chapter 3, enjoy.
Edit: Oops I changed it mia x-x thanks.

Runa struggled to pry his hands free as her vision darkened. The white-haired girl appeared standing behind the stranger.
“Stay strong…” The girl whispered, dropping a blue ribbon.
Runa instinctly grabbed the ribbon with her hand as her eye irises turned cyan blue.
“Tell your boss…If she wants me, come herself!” Runa screamed, punching the stranger in the throat.
The stranger let go, coughing and grabbing his throat. Runa wrapped the ribbon around her neck and formed a bow.
“How’d that feel? Be glad I didn’t break your windpipe as I had intended,” Runa commented, grabbing the yellow slicker hood and pulling it off.
Runa’s eyes widen as she recognized the short, red bob of hair and face.
“Velia!” Runa cried out.
Velia kept coughing but glared at Runa.
“I hate you!” Velia shrieked, coughing harder.
“Are you upset because Shinu chose ‘lil ole Runa over you? Reality check girl, life isn’t fair. You got what you deserved when you dropped guys like trash when you found someone better,” Runa snapped.
Velia leaped at Runa who swerved to the left to avoid Velia’s grabby hands. There was a loud crash as Velia rammed into the front door. She burst into sobs and curled up into a ball.
“You were willing to destroy a friendship with Aslinn, Lien and Runa for a guy?” Runa demanded.
“Yes! Why would he choose you over me…” Velia sobbed.
Runa held out her hand and gently touched Velia’s head.
“Runa needs him…Let her have this one…There’s plenty more…” Runa murmured tenderly.
Runa placed her other hand on Velia’s shoulder as she whispered, “Demon within…Return to whence you came…Her control you is not but a past memory.”
Runa kissed Velia on the cheek and her eyes turned back as she passed out.
“How sad…” Runa whispered, her face filled with empathy as she glanced up to see the doorknob turning.
“I leave the rest to you Runa…” Runa whispered, as she pulled the ribbon free from her neck.
The ribbon flowed slowly to the ground as Runa’s eyes returned to their sea-green color. Runa blinked a few times as she realized the door was about to open and dragged Velia out of the way. Shinu threw open the door and looked around frantically.
“Runa! Are you alright? Where are you?!” Shinu called.
“I’m down here Shinu,” Runa replied, looking down at Velia who lay unconscious in her lap.
“Are you hurt? Where’s the guy? I’ll beat him,” Shinu exclaimed.
“He’s gone, do you have any gauze? I was hit in the head and twisted my ankle down the stairs,” Runa asked.
Shinu stared at Runa, his hair, face, and clothes dripping wet from the rain.
“Yeah, I’ll get my first aid kit. I’ll be right back,” Shinu replied, running back to his car.
Runa gently brushed some hair out of Velia’s face.
“Thank you…For your help…” Runa whispered.
The white-haired girl stood behind Runa, smiling as she picked up the fallen ribbon. Shinu came back and helped Runa along with carrying Velia to a couch in the living room.
“Thanks Shinu,” Runa told him, as he wrapped gauze around her forehead and temples.
Runa kept her eyes down, her face growing warmer and her heart pounding.
“What happened here?” Shinu asked, gently.
“Umm…Someone broke in and tried to hurt me,” Runa answered.
Shinu picked up Runa’s right leg and slid up her pj pant leg to her knee. Runa tried to slow her heartbeat as Shinu gently wrapped her ankle and foot.
“Really? How did Velia get here? Was she with you?” Shinu asked.
“She was—umm passing by,” Runa stammered.
Shinu finished wrapping her ankle and took Runa’s hand.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Shinu asked.
Runa forced a smile.
“Of course, I can take care of myself for sure Shinu,” Runa reassured.
Shinu hugged Runa as her composure started to drop.
“Did you…Like her…? Runa whispered, her voice barely audible over the rain outside.
“What?” Shinu asked, not letting go for Runa.
“Ruki…Enzeru…” Runa murmured, shutting her eyes closed.
“Runa, I can’t hear you. Can you say it again?” Shinu asked.
Runa pulled away from Shinu, avoiding his eyes.
“No, it’s nothing,” Runa answered.
Shinu dropped his arms as Velia woke up.
“Runa…Where am I?” Velia asked.
“You’re at my house,” Runa answered.
“I—I don’t remember how I got here but I need to go home. Bye Runa,” Velia told her, getting up.
“I’ll drop you off, you shouldn’t be walking around in this rain,” Shinu offered.
“Thank you,” Velia relied, as she walked to the door.
“Will you be okay?” Shinu asked.
“Yes! Go now!” Runa insisted.
“Okay, bye Runa,” Shinu replied.
Shinu glanced once more at Runa before leaving with Velia. Runa lay back on the couch, trying to slow her heartbeat as she fell asleep.

Runa slowly walked in the dark theater, only two other people in there. Both were little girls who looked about ten years old. One had long, black hair and wore a pale blue dress while the other girl had long white hair and wore a black dress. The girls smiled at Runa as she looked at the screen. Runa covered her mouth in horror as a woman had one hand around Ruki’s throat and stabbed her in the chest with a jagged, purple dagger. Ruki choked out blood as the woman pulled out a crystal ball and started murmuring something.
“Rukai!” A voice screamed.
A second Ruki appeared appeared and was absorbed into the multi-colored crystal ball. The woman released Ruki as she collapsed to the floor.
“How can you watch that?!” Runa wailed.
The white-haired girl turned to look at Runa.
“Because it was my last moment I was with Ruki,” The white-haired girl answered.
Runa fell to the carpet, trembling. The black-haired girl got up and walked over to Runa.
“Even the most terrify moment can be treasured by some,” The black-haired girl said softly.
Runa looked at the black-haired girl, her eyes peering through her bangs and revealed that the girl had icy, cyan, blue eyes.
“Who are you?” Runa asked.
The girl grinned as she touched foreheads with Runa.
“I’m you, who else…” The girl murmured.

Here's the next chapter. x-x finally.

++Chapter 4++
Pieces Falling
Runa wandered to school in a daze, the dream lingering in her thoughts.
"Hey Runa!" Voices called.
Runa faintly heard them as her three friends grabbed her.
"Didn't you hear us calling?" Aslinn demanded.
"Sorry, I thought I was imagining things," Runa apologized.
Aslinn shook her head.
"Are you going to the masquerade ball?" Lien asked.
"I don't know, I do n't have a date, dress and I can't dance," Runa pointed out.
"So?! You don't need a date right Lien and Velia?" Aslinn asked.
"Well, a friend asked me and I really like him" Lien admitted.
"I found a guy who wonderful so yeah," Velia answered.
Runa looked at Aslinn who sheepishly looked away.
"Okay! I have a date too but so what?! Just go ask Shinu or Seth," Aslinn exclaimed.
"What?! No thank you!" Runa replied and stomped away.
Dances are just social events anyway, it's not like I'm missing anything, Runa thought to herself.
Runa sat in class, trying to listen to what the teacher was saying but everything went in one ear and out the other. She didn't hear a thing about english or the book they were reading. Runa started writing on a line sheet of paper in her binder and looked down.
Funny how I'm always the one without a guy..
Runa tore out the paper and crumbled it up. She glanced around for a wastebasket but saw none so she took to stuffing the paper in her messenger bag.
What was I thinking when I wrote that? Was I thinking at all?
When class was over, Runa was putting her things in her bag as she got up. Jezabel ran into Runa intentionally, causing Runa to drop her bag and everything spilling to the grey carpet.
"You shouldn't be so clumsy dear," Jezabel mocked sweetly as she left the classroom.
Runa made a memo to herself to trip Jezabel in front of a football team. A hand held up a notebook to Runa and she took it, breaking free from her thoughts for a moment to look who gave it to her. The guy had curly brown hair, wore glasses which enlarged his slanted, amber eyes and freckles sprayed around his nose.
"Thanks," Runa told him, as she stuffed some pencils in her bag.
"You're welcome, he replied as he helped gather up some of Runa supplies.
He's attractive, I should remember someone like him but I don't.
"I'm Herod by the way," The guy broke through Runa's thoughts.
Runa smiled sheepishly as she stuffed the supplies he gave her into her bag.
"Thank you Herod," Runa replied, as she got up.
Runa and Herod missed a pencil as Runa started walking and her foot slipped on the pencil, sending her crashing into Herod who fell backwards hitting a desk, rendering him unconcious.
"Sorry," Runa apologized, as she got up grabbing a nearby desk.
Runa saw that Herod was out cold and quickly grabbed the back of his head to see if there was a wound. She was relieved to find none as she gently shook Herod's shoulder.
"Hey, wake up. You don't want to be late for class," Runa told him, softly.
Herod didn't stir as Runa got up.
"Stay here, I'll get the nurse," Runa announced, running out of the classroom.
Beside the pencil, there was a crumbled paperball that was forgotten. Runa ran out in the hallway and glanced around for the nurse's office. She threw open the door to see the nurse Wendy taking care of a boy who had been in a fight.
"Runa? What's wrong?" Wendy asked, turning to her.
Wendy was an young woman in about her mid-twenties with long red hair tied back while she worked, brownish, green eyes, and pale skin. Her worksuit consisted of a white button-up shirt with white slacks and white tennis shoes.
"There was an accident, a student is unconcious," Runa answered.
"Okay, I'll be right there. Hold this to the wound and don't move," Wendy told the boy.
The boy nodded, holding the wad of gauze to his cheek. Runa led Wendy to the classroom where Herod was still lying unconcious. Wendy checked Herod's pulse and the back of his head.
"I'm sure this'll wake him up," Wendy told Runa, waving a small capsule underneath his nose.
Herod stirred and opened his eyes, groaning.
"Glad to see you're back with us," Wendy told Herod, helping him up.
Herod rubbed the back of his head.
"Ow, thanks," Herod replied.
"I'm really sorry about that," Runa told him as the bell rang, "Oh no we're late!"
Runa quickly ran out the door as Herod bent over to pick up his briefcase. He noticed the crumbled paper ball and pencil that the two of them missed.
"What do you think of her?" Wendy asked.
Herod uncrumbled the ball and read the words written on it before glancing back at Wendy.
"Looks like thing have got more interesting," Herod answered.

Runa sat fidgeting in the classroom as students came in. Seth walked in, looked at Runa giving her a boyish grin before sitting in his seat. Runa wanted to slap herself for not looking away as Shinu walked in and gave her a smile as well as he sat in his seat behind her. Velia sat in the desk beside Runa and passed her a piece of paper as the teacher came in and started talking about history. On the paper read:
So who's it going to be? Seth or Shinu?
Runa shot a look at Velia who was waving and winking at a guy who sat a few desks away. When Velia turned back to Runa, she took the paper back and read in big, bold letters, "NEITHER!"
Velia shook her head, scribbled something on the paper and handed it back to Runa. Runa looked at the paper, "Why not? Seems like they both like you."
Just as Runa was passing the paper back to Velia, the teacher snatched the paper.
"No passing notes in class, as punishment I'm going to read it in front of the class," The teacher scolded.
Runa shrank in her seat, silently screaming to herself.
The teacher fixed his glasses and looked at the letters.
"So, who's it going to be Seth or Shinu? Neither! Why not? Seems like they both like you. Do you think I like them back?!" The teacher read aloud.
Every student in the class looked at Runa and Velia; their faces read surprised and shock. Runa hid behind a notebook as the teacher dropped the picture on Velia's desk.
"I'd suggest no more notes or we'll have a repeat of today's event," The teacher said coldly.
Runa got up and ran out of the classroom.
"Runa!" Shinu called.
Runa ran in the hallway, covering her face not seeing the yellow warning sign. Her feet skitted across the wet floor and lost her balance, crashing to the floor. Besides the bruised bum and feet, Runa made no attempt to get up as she dropped her hands.
"Are you okay?" A voice asked.
Runa didn't look up as Herod kneeled beside her.
"That looked a little painful," Herod commented, reaching for Runa.
Runa brushed his hand away as he caught a glance of her sea-green eyes big with tears.
"What happened?" Herod asked, worried.
"I'm fine, it just hurt was all," Runa answered, trying to get up.
"You're about on the verge of tears, seriously what's wrong?" Herod asked.
"Runa!" Shinu called, running and slipping on the floor as well, landing beside Runa.
"Well I guess your knight is here, I'm sure he'll handle things," Herod commented, getting up and walking away.
Shinu hugged Runa as the water drops slid down her cheeks.
"I'm--Sorry," Runa whispered.
"Why are you sorry? Don't be," Shinu said softly, resting Runa's head against his chest.

Here's the other part, time for chapter 5 now.

Shinu gently stroked Runa's hair.
"I don't quite understand matters of the heart, so I can't say whether or not I do or don't like someone.." Runa explained.
"I understand, don't worry about it. Everything will be alright," Shinu told her, gently.
Runa didn't want to move, for a long time she felt vulnable and weak; unable to tell anyone how she felt so Runa resorted to doing the only thing she could think of to feel secure and it was to hide her emotions. Shinu looked at Runa who stared back at him. Her heart started beating fast again as Shinu started lowering his face. Runa closed her eyes as the bell suddenly ran causing the two of them to jump up.
"Well, I guess we should get our stuff," Runa suggested, wiping her face as she realized she was blushing really hard.
"Yeah, let's go," Shinu agreed.
Runa and Shinu walked back to class as everyone was filing out. Seth glared at Shinu who glared back. Runa gathered her things as Velia waited at the door with the boy she was flirting with in class.
"Are you going to the dance?" Shinu asked, casually.
"Nope," Runa answered, as she quickly ran out the door.
She ran into Seth.
"Want to go with me?" Seth suggested.
Runa's left eye twitched as she shoved Seth out of the doorway.
"Thanks but no thanks!" Runa answered, as she ran the opposite way of the wet floor.
Runa stopped outside on the campus, trying to catch her breath.
"They're not going to give up," A voice commented.
Runa almost choked as she looked up to see Herod leaning against the building, reading a book.
"How...What..?" Runa coughed.
"Just some things I know," Herod answered, closing his book and looking at Runa, "Looks like you're feeling better. Even a little bashful."
Runa dropped her bag to the ground as she fell to the grass.
"Gee thanks," Runa replied.
"It doesn't look like you're the only without a guy. On contary, you're always with a guy from what I seen," Herod pointed out.
Runa frowned.
"No," Runa replied.
"You're with me right now, that counts as being with a guy does it not?" Herod asked.
"Yes, no! I meant, how'd...?" Runa sputtered.
"I found your paper ball on the ground. You're not one of those boy-crazy girls are you?" Herod asked.
"That's none of your business," Runa replied.
"I didn't think so, I think that's what drawn those two to you," Herod commented.
"Are you done yet?" Runa demanded.
"Did you catch your breath yet?" Herod asked.
"Why are you picking on me?" Runa asked.
"Maybe because of you, I lost some brain cells from hitting my head on a desk and being knocked unconcious," Herod answered.
"I said I was sorry," Runa replied.
"I know, it's just how I am. You're not like any one I know," Herod explained.
"Thanks, I think," Runa told him, as she got up.
"You should go to the dance, she'll be there," Herod murmured.
Runa looked at Herod.
"She?" Runa asked.
"The one who is trying to get all the pieces, be warned. She's after the King more than anything," Herod answered.
"The king? You're talking strangely like Seth now," Runa replied.
"Seth knows more than he's letting on. Just be careful, stick with your Knight. Only him and the Tower can protect you when she's around. Your Queen can't," Herod explained, before walking away.
"Wait! What are you talking about? Hey!" Runa called.
Runa dropped her hands to her side.
"Things are getting more strange by the day," Runa said quietly.

Runa sat in the passenger seat with Dimitri while they drove to a town nearby.
"I'm surprised at you Runa, you hate dances," Dimitri commented.
"This time I really want to go," Runa replied, smiling.
"I'm glad to see that smile on your face, just be sure to keep it under a thousand dollars," Dimitri warned.
Runa kept smiling but as soon as she turned her face to the window, her smile faded.
The one who sent Velia after me will be at the dance, I need answers and I'm going to get them!
Dimitri stopped in front of a small store and Runa got out, looking around.
"This is the store for sure," Dimitri told Runa, walking towards the door.
Runa followed behind him, as he opened the door and Runa went in.
"Hi Filla, is the dress ready?" Dimitri asked.
Runa looked to see a woman in her mid-thirties sitting at a sewing machine. She had long, black hair and magenta-colored eyes behind small, frame glasses.
"Ah Dimitri, yes it's ready. Is this your daughter? She's very lovely," Filla complinented, stopping the sewing machine and going into the backroom.
Runa played with the green gemstone that she wore around her neck along with the sea-green lace collar. Filla came out, holding a beautiful emerald, velvet, strapless dress with a slit in the right side exposuring the right leg up to the thighs.
"Wow..." Runa whispered, as she took the dress in her arms.
"Go on try it on, there's a dressing room right over there," Filla encouraged, pointing to a twin doors near some dresses.
Runa ran over and took off her clothes as she slid the dress up, zipping the side up. She looked at herself in the mirror and didn't recognize herself.
"Okay!" Runa called, opening the door.
Dimitri and Filla stared at Runa.
"Runa, you look beautiful. I don't know if I should let you leave the house in that," Dimitri exclaimed.
Runa stared down, her face burning from embarassment.
"Thank you Filla, do you have the shoes as well?" Dimitri asked.
"Of course, would I ever let you down?" Filla exclaimed, holding up a shoebox.
Runa walked over as Dimitri opened the shoebox to reveal glass slippers with lace to tie around the ankles.
"Dad..." Runa started.
"Anything for my little girl," Dimitri told Runa, smiling.
Runa felt touched as she hugged Dimitri. Dimitri hugged Runa back, as he paid for the shoes and dress. Runa changed back into her normal clothes as Dimitri took the dress and shoes back to the car.
"Now you're ready for the dance," Dimitri exclaimed.

++The next night++
Runa sat in her room as she wore the emerald strapless dress and glass slippers with the lace tied around her ankles. Around her neck was the sea-green lace choker and black chain green gemstone. Runa took careful precaution as she put on small, gold hoop earrings on her ears and slipped on some gold bracelets on her right wrist along with a gold ring. Ronnie came in the room and whistled.
"Hey baby, let's go out sometime," Ronnie joked.
Runa elbowed Ronnie in the ribs.
"Enough with the flirtious jokes, I need help with make-up," Runa told him.
"How can you assume that I know how to do these things? Why don't you get your friends to help you? And who's your date anyway?" Ronnie asked.
Runa took her nearby green and white, metal lace fan and hit him in the face.
"They don't know I'm going and I took careful planning that they didn't," Runa snapped.
If they knew the true reason why I was going, they'd never stop asking questions and I already have a brain filled with questions.
"Okay, look at me and I'll apply the blush and mascara," Ronnie told her.
"You used to do this stuff when you were in drama right?" Runa asked, as he brushed some red blush on her left cheek.
"Yeah, I was make-up artist because of a raffle. I guess it was helpful," Ronnie answered, as he brushed blush on her other cheek.
Ronnie stopped for a moment.
"I'm going to have to protect you from all those guys now," Ronnie pointed out.
"Don't worry, no one will know it's me," Runa reassured, as she held up a gold mask with white feather and three green long feathers at the top, "That's what a masquerade ball is."
"Who's taking you?" Ronnie asked.
"Umm can you?" Runa asked.
Ronnie sighed as he put some mascara above Runa's eyes.
"You owe me," Ronnie told her.
"Thank you brother," Runa told him, as she hugged him.
Ronnie shook his head.
"By the way, here," Ronnie replied, holding out a small box.
Runa opened the box to find a small, diamond encrusted crown in it.
"Brother..." Runa started.
Ronnie patted Runa on top of the head.
"Now don't say I never gave you anything," Ronnie told her.
"Thank you, really. Can you give me the pocket watch on my desk?" Runa asked, as she put the crown on her head.
Ronnie walked over and picked up the pocket watch.
"Where'd you get this from?" Ronnie asked.
"A girl gave it to me," Runa answered.
"Looks rather expensive," Ronnie pointed out.
"Yeah it does, must be pure silver," Runa replied.
"Pure silver? You mean gold," Ronnie told her.
Runa turned around.
"What?" Runa asked.
Ronnie walked over and showed her the pocket watch; it was a gold color not silver.
"What...?" Runa started and saw the watch was working again.
"It's showtime..." A voice murmured.
