Pain.

Pain was all she could feel.

Never had it been so excruciating, so mind-numbing.

Her body ceased to respond to her commands and her blood continued to shed relentlessly. She was dying but that was not what bothered her. She had 'lost' the battle but that was not what bothered her. What bothered her; what disturbed her was that she had been struck down by her master. The one she obeyed no matter the order, the one she would sacrifice anything for had cast her aside like a lowly vermin.

As her breath slowed and her vision blurred she wondered. She let her so called 'imagination' run free and predict whatever it would about her destination. She had never fully understood what happened to an Arrancar when they were slain. They were Hollows that much was true which meant at one time they had been a human being, they had a soul. But they were in part a shinigami as well. They were an abomination. They broke all law and order just in their existence.

For the first and only time in her life she was scared. She no longer could analyze and make sense of her world and the unknown destination she was to arrive at soon was a mystery to her in all its aspects. For all she could now comprehend what awaited her could be eternal darkness in a non-existent reality. Her mind raced as her body numbed and her eyes closed as the last strength within her slowly died.

She would never have guessed what her fate truly was.
