Eyes closed, time passing so quickly as she was asleep, a deep sleep that she couldn't wake up from. It felt like just yesterday that the creature attacked and all of that was found out, was found out. Not much was found out in her opinion other than there was someone out to get her, catch her and do who knows what to her. She felt grateful that she had two people who care enough about her to protect her; her lover and her best friend that was like a sister to her. Those two will protect her when the time came, right? When the time came... they will be ready, right? What if she turned into the enemy in the end? What if she became the evil-doer by nature since this voice, a voice to be percise was wicked in her own opinions. She had a small smile as she stood in this world of white and black, the area was white; the sky, the ground the walls besides the small designs you could see that were obviously trees and flowers.

She continued walking through this dream for a bit while being able to think to herself with no one to bother her. Out of no where she appeared in some room that looked like a meeting room. Instead of white, this place was dark, torches on the walls, oval table and chairs of eight.

The table had cloth of maroon that fitted perfectly over the wooden coating that made it look like glossed expensive wood. She wasn't an expert on the subject anymore than she use to, nature forbid her to love it so. It still made her sad that nature and her was forbidden the love each her, light in this aspect. Light gets hurt from nature as nature wants to embrace light, but ends up hurting it anyways in the end. Will that be her and darkness too? Will she end up hurting Noel even without wanting to, trying and the such? One by one, things, shadowed covered beings appeared in the chairs, besides one. Some were men and some were women. ''Come, sit down.'' a woman spoke in the same dark voice in one of those chairs. Slowly, hesitantly she moved over to the chair, hand gripping it, pulled it out and sat down. She coughed nervously, scooted in her chair and looked at every- 'one'. Her head didn't move, but her eyes did as she tried to study each and everyone of them. She was curious on what or who they might be. She knew she wasn't going to get many answers, but hopefully when they speak, she'll find out or they'll just tell him.

A male of short hair with red blazing eyes gazed at her. His hands were twined together with his elbows on the table. ''I see we have /her/ here. Let's begin.'' he spoke and scooted his chair away from him with his calfs as he stood up high. He wasn't super muscular, but he was tall. ''We are apart of your concious that speaks to you through your thoughts, but what are we you ask?'' he started and made some tag engraved into the chair appear. It was over-shadowed? She squiented her eyes towards the chair to read it to see what it truly said, but what did it say? She wasn't really sure, but who can be sure? She should since this was just her dream, right? There were many questions, always questions yet not enough answers to give, not enough time to find all of those answers. Rather or not this here will give her answers to at least some of the questions will have to wait, but for now she was just about to get up. She was woken up by a pierce of light coming through the window and flashing before her eyes as a day she had to get up. She was to go out and mission with her dear friend, Alisa.

Her eyes cornered yet barely were they open, gazing at the window itself. Her arm slowly moved towards the other side of the bed just to see if 'he' was there. A frown appeared on her lips seconds later as she didn't feel him there. Her head turned, tilted towards the direction he would be if he was indeed here. 'Wonder where he went.' she wondered as she grabbed his pillow, hugged it and sniffed it. 'It still smells like him -- so calming and relaxing.' she thought more. She could stay in bed for hours just to day dream and think of him.

Even though that was true, alas she had to get up. Her eyes widened, noises were heard and quickly she rolled off of bed with her feet flat on the wooden floor. Her feet slipped into slippers and quietly went against the wall to peek to see who it was. So far she saw no one, but she swore she heard the door. Perhaps it was Noel who just left? She frowned once more, thinking on how she didn't get to make him food before he left. She stood up straight, relaxed and clenched her hand into a fist. She motioned her elbow close to her, pointed downward as she did a pumping up and down motion once in determination. ''I'll make it up to him when he comes back!'' she spoke happily and smiled. She turned right out the door to then see Alisa. ''Huh?! Oh hai there Alisa.~'' she spoke, smiled and giggled. ''You haven't happened to have see-, wait.. Is it time for the mission already?'' she questioned and blinked. Arisa was still in her pajama's of a night dress get-up, lilac colored and pink slippers with a single fuzz ball in the middle of each one and her hair was a mess yet still perfectly smooth and beautiful.

Arisa looked at Alisa and smiled cheerfully -- with it being morning and all it was quite rare. She wasn't really a morning person, but it was truthfully thanks to Noel being here. Ever since they made up and he stayed with her, she's been feeling more secure and safe. It was comforting, his words. He spoke about watching her through the shadows, watching out for her. Oh' so it was romantic that it made her blush just thinking about it. Was this some fairy tale shit going on to where she didn't realize it or was it that she didn't want to realize that this was too good to be true, for her at least. Her family line didn't have the best luck with love nor genetics in general, but here she was in a happy relationship with her lover, Noel.

She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Alisa, ''Oh! Urm, we can go out to eat instead. Not like we can't afford it...'' she spoke and bit her lip, looked away with her eyes and pouted. ''He left without me making breakfast anyways.'' she spoke and then looked at her. ''I'm going to go get changed. Sorry about you having to wait.~'' she giggled and bolted to her room, closing her door. She looked about and into her wardrobe. There was this, that and whatever the hell this was. She picked up a lilac cross-shirt that had cuttings out into an X. It revealed her belly button, her waist and the top of her cleavage. A U shape tied around her neck to hold it all up because of her chest being rather huge. The back of the shirt had cuts of straight lines till it hit the tail bone. For her pants, they were normal black colored, leather belt that was dark brown with a hibiscus red flower as the buckle.

Next after that she grabbed for her brush, the handle, the main part was made out of ivory, mirror in the back with little gems surrounding the circle mirror. The bristles were horse hair like the best of the brushes, but was a little apart from each one. Her eyes of golden honey gazed at the mirror in front of her that was square, connected to the dresser she stood in front of. The dresser was made out of rich wood, she didn't know the exact name, but she knew that it was made from some famous carver. Twas true that she didn't seem like she didn't know contacts, but she did know a handful of people who will do all they could to satisfy Mrs. Yue. Humming softly, she brushed her elegant silk violet hair till it no longer had 'ratts' in her beautiful mane.

Slowly Arisa put up her hair in a pony-tail, looped it through the ribbon a few times and pulled it out a little so it looked like a waterfall design. After that was done, she put on white socks with frills, ankle boots of black that had a zipper. The zipper itself always got stuck mid-way at the first go on the right side. She always felt like it was going to break, but it never did. Finally, she left her room all ready. With that she walked out the door after nodding her head to signal Alisa that she was ready to go. Turning a little, she locked the door after Alisa left and went on their way to wherever. ''So which place shall we try next? We should at least try every place before we leave to the next area, yea?'' she chuckled and gaze-cornered towards Alisa's eyes with her own sun-lit eyes.

Sure enough it was time to go as Alisa came with. She wondered about how Alisa felt about her boyfriend and if she even believed her in the first place that they were lovers and he was living with her. Perhaps she was more ill in the head than she could even think, but she found him stalking in the shadows romantic! Most people may find that weird, but it made her blush because it just his way of showing his love/care for her. Her arms dangled against her side as she cat-walked towards the inner town for some food, with her dear friend.

''Alisa, do... do you even believe me?'' she questioned calmly with a small happy smile, looking towards her as she cocked her head that direction. The wind felt good as it was calming, cool and made her hair wave behind her. It was dramatic in a way, but it was fitting for her beauty. Beauty... that's what some people called her, but her securities made her believe in naught when it came to her own appearance. Her large hips swayed left and right as she walked in a fashionable way. Her chest bounced every-so-often due to gravity, her walking-typing and the size of them things. She could question and feel insecure about her chest, but Alisa was no different in that so nothing must be bad about having a large chest, right?

'You're a fool; you wish to love the darkness and someone like that?' was questioned in her mind by the darker voice that etched into her mind. Quite worrisome it was as she still didn't know what that voice was, who it was and so forth. Her head looked straight in the small time her head was in the direction of Alisa, now looking at the road they were walking on. Where to go, where should they eat at? Her head turned left and right as she bright a hand up to cover her mouth, yawning. With that she stopped, put both hands on her hips and looked about with the turning of her head towards wherever she was gazing upon. ''Alright... so we have a few options. Sushi and dumpling shop, Pasta place or ramen place with whatever else they have.'' she spoke. She wasn't going to choose; nope!

She listened to Alisa talk about what she thought on the subject, but when she talked about passion -- ...it felt all wrong. She looked up at the sky by tilting her pretty head aback as she created a small smile, her golden mirror eyes reflecting that very sky. Having no pupils created the very perfect mirroring. Her nose sniffed the air as she could smell the aroma of the good smelling food. She imagined the bread, bacon and so much more when it came to food. Her stomach growled as she listened to Alisa speak. Something just switched/flipped a switch within her when Alisa spoke of 'passion'. Her eyes  coldly gazed at her eyes and rolled them. ''Pft, passion is what people feel about hobbies...not people. It's not a word to throw around towards something as dangerous as love. Love...'' she started and darted her eyes towards the distance. ''Love is an obsession or even an addiction towards another, rather or not it's to a high degree or vice versa. Simply, you could say it's a warm feeling that gives you adrenaline towards specific things because of that feeling you have towards someone. It's quite... scientific and psychological.'' she spoke towards Alisa in a rather accent that was calm and cold.

She took a deep breather and there she was, back to her normal self. She coughed softly and looked towards her dear friend with a smile. ''Dumplings you say? Sounds good.'' she spoke happily and skipped ahead towards the food place with amazing dumplings -- or so she heard. They finally got to the door and through the hanging sheets that acted as a door. Swiftly she turned around to look at Alisa. ''So what does it say? Or should we get food before reading?'' she wondered and then started to look at the menu. Arisa spoke of what she wanted after Alisa read it if Alisa chose to read it before ordering. ''I'll have a family trio combo with two sugar donuts sticks. For a drink, I'll have a fizz-pop, large.'' she was done and honestly, she felt really hungry. The family trio combo was a rather huge dumpling with chicken, shrimp, crab meat and beef all in one with some rice inside of the dumpling itself. It was quite a treat and the spices they added to it was enough so the mixing of all the meat wasn't nauseating.

She waited in silence, thinking on what Alisa said. Was it that she was no longer human and that was why she felt so indifferent when it came to love? A part of her felt disgusted about love, but the other part of her felt so flown and high when it came to it. O'Noel, if she was still apart of nature like she was, birds, the trees and plants would sing in thy name and wander about... to watch him of course. She remembered his words though of him watching her instead. Her heart was beating a lot as her face lifted up towards the sky, carrying her food and drink. Her left cheek puffed out due to the donuts on a stick in her mouth. She nommed them slowly with her tongue wrapping around the stick. Her soft strong hands held the stick from the lower tip, inserting the donuts and stick in her mouth even further. Her tongue wanted to savor all the sugar on this morning dessert as it tasted delicious.

Once it was done she pulled out the stick and flicked it to the nearest trash can. Her head turned to look at alisa. ''Wonder where we'll find a crystal.'' she spoke and then started on her dumpling, damn was it good.

Her eyes looked at Alisa as she was wondering on what could be on the girl's mind. Sighing softly, Arisa found the nearest trashcan and threw away what she didn't eat all the way, obviously being the stick. Next she chugged down the soda and continued on her little walk towards wherever they had to go, not sure on where. She didn't read dthe letter that the client wrote for them, she left that for Alisa. Arisa on the other hand was the follower most of the time as she was too lazy for that kind of work, the leader. If it had to be done though, she obviously would take charge - not really caring on the matter otherwise.

The fizz pop went down well, throwing away the can and finally, they went inside the store. Her body stayed close to Alisa as they were non- separable, unless they had their own thing to do of course. Arisa respected Alisa with her choices, where she wished to go alone as she became trusting enough for Arisa to not freak out on the matter. This place had different wares; Jewels, tools, objects and all. Some could say this stuff was stolen, but it really didn't matter to her in the end since she didn't even know the people that got their stuff stolen. Alisa questioned about a specific jewel, a jewel that looked rare, pretty, but nothing to her fancy. Was it for the mission? Of course. She sighed softly and looked the other way as she felt a nudge of her hand against her own, feeling the stone. 'Stealing? Uh, alright.' she thought and stuck it through and into her sleeve. Her sleeve hid it well and her eyes saw Alisa put back a decoy of course. Soon they left and she chuckled. ''Well, that was quite easy I suppose.'' was all Arisa said towards what just happened. They next went to wherever Alisa was taking her next to and the next after that as finally, they handed the stuff in and got rewarded.
