The rain pounded hard on the ground as the loud footsteps and the sound of a cane following it were heard, echoing throughout the dark, empty, silent city streets. The sky was blanketed in black heavy clouds and flashed brightly from lightning that was soon followed by thounder. A sound that seemed as if a beast would drop from the skies and cause havoc, destroying everything in its paths. In the buildings that dotted the area beneath the wide sky stood tall as if arms of the dead reaching out to grab hold of something and free themselves from their prison and frighten the maggots that lived inside. The man walking looked up at the sky. He had no umbrella on him just a simple hat and a black trench coat. His hair which was hidden by the hat was a solid black and his eyes a cold piercing Silver. He chuckled lightly at a couple as they came out a building and ran to to their car. He gazed at his wrist looking at the time. It was almost midnight. He was already soaked to the bone and yet he idnt seem to mind. He moved his hand brushing some water from his thick brows, turning a corner.

Felicia was strolling across the streets. She wasn't in a hurry but not really did not pay a heed where she step her feet. Her eyes were nearly yellow. As she would fighting with her darker side now. Not seeing where she's going, Felicia bumped into him exidently and stumbled back. Almost yellow color vanished as she was distracted.Her now pitch black eyes glances at the stranger. He was soaked as much as she was. " Pardon me, monsiour" she muttered slightly with italian accent

He looked at her the grin had not yet faded from the rain. He listened to her speak. “Do not fret. No worries Mam...” he looked at her carefully his silver eyes burning into the coals in her head. “Accidents happen” he looked to her feet. “Youre are soaked. Would you like a clock to prehaps keep you warm on such a terribly cold wet night?” he asked. His coat was wet but it was strangly dry on the inside making it hard for him to actaully be soaked to the bone.

She blinked at him smiled." You are soaked yourself, monsiour" she said." I'm Felicia......." she introduced extending her hand towards him." What reasons brought you to the streets in midnight, hmm?"

“Xander Manson” He replied politely. His voice kind and soft unlike the usual voice he used on a lot of people. “It is a pleasure to meet you Felicia” he lightly took her hand and hissed it. He hoped she didnt mind him doing so and he would let it go only to quickly femove his coat to drap it over her shoulders. “An beautiful angel such as yourself shouldnt have to wonder about such cold streets” he said softly. He dindt really care in what she had on she looked cold and it was evident that just like he, she was in need of an umbrella and some dry clothing. “I would invite you to myplace to warm up but that would be out of my place to do so, instead would you like an escort home? These parts of the city can be dangerous...”

She smiled as he kissed her hand. Felicia didn't see any kind of gentleman since long ago.....nay...never met one ever. " Like wise, monsiour Xander" she responded to her. She still gazed at him and flushed slightly, almost unseen, at his compliment and didn't notice as he wraped her with his coat. ' I I am no angel, Xander.." she said. "If only he'd knew" she thought for herself having in mind what demon lies in her. " I don't afraid of dangers, but...yeah....it would be nice.." she said still looking at him. In her eyes he could see all bad things she had to expierence in past...but yet she's still smiling.....and is still strong like never before.

He never mentioned the look she held deep within her beatiful eyes. They were black, nothing really there and yet he couldnt tear his eyes from them. Maybe it was because htat look that glowed in her eyes made him want to know her. To break her into pieces and get to her very core and unlock all her screts. He smiled "Well than Dear Felicia, please do lead the way" He said softly wiping some rain water off his thick brows again his deep voice that would boom like the thounder when angry was now almost soft enough to sing an infant to sleep the way a womans soft voice was able to do with such ease. He looked to Felicia's body. She looked strange from most woman he had looked at. She wasnt one of those timid looking woman even if he had bumped into her from her lack of ability to lift her head up and look ahead at were she was going. she looked strong and magstic her beauty in that night even as she was soaked she looked so radient. He shook his head thinking maybe it was wrong to think such things as it might make him seem like a perv as she just smiled keeping it alltohimself silently walking with her

She smiled some at him and with a nod kept walking. Her movements and steps were graceful and ever so elegant but steady. Felicia seemed as much self comfident as a little troubled deep inside but never she shows it to anyone. As she never does shows any sadness nor especially tears since the day of her autocrash. After that and recieving her 'guest' Felicia became even more beautyful. Life always is like that - first takes away something...or someone...and then gives something in return..as a repay for all sufferes....she wasn't an exeption.....Felicia smiled at Xander. She liked him since ever first saw him but was afraid that Seiyra wouldn't do anything bad to him. "My home is not very far...." she said with a smile.

He nodded. "I am in no rush" he looked at his feet. He wanted to say so many things to her, things many men have said to a woman just to get in bed with them but he meant what he said in no disrespect not intents of any sxual benefits from saying what he thought a woman would want to hear. He wasnt that type of man and the mistake of him being gay was also far from the reason. He grew up to respect and charish woman and even those around him but he did know how to handle himself in times of choas when he found himself backed into a corner a knife to his neck. He thought of how he would desire to say that he would walk to the end of hte world for the woman which would be forever seeing as there was no end to speak of.

She felt as her darker side trying again to take over her. But never she will allow it to happen. Not around this handsome guy. The result of battling her darkest side was payin. Her pace slowly slowed down for some reasons and she leaned agains a random wall. " No...." she whispered for herself." Not this time......." she said trying to resist Seyra's call......this battle as usualy takes some of her energy.......especialy nowdays when it became harder to control Seyra. Thank's to her Felicia was almost loosing her true self......her feelings.....emotions......but now as she met Xander something tingled inside of her.....a ray of hope lit up her darkness......

He looked at her with concern and lightly touched her shoulder. His hold strong and firm and yet he said nothing. When she stopped talking was when he fianlly spoke lightly pulling her into her arms to help her stand so she wouldnt need the wall. "my dear Felicia, Please do tell me what is wrong, what it is that has made you speak in such a low frightened voice Or was it me you were speaking to? Did you wish for me to leave you alone?" he asked in confusion

She glanced at him with her deep eyes....her black nightly color mixing yellow one as she battles with herself...with her darker side....." Nay.......it's.....too dangerous to be around me....." she said and looked down.

He looked at her. "Why would I be afraid of such a gorgous young woman?" he slowly released her feeling that was what she wanted, that she wanted him to unhold her and leave and yet he couldnt move his feet to leave her. I wouldnt move his feet to leave her not when it seemed she was allowing her mind to torture her that the very threads of her sanity were coming apart. He slowly reached out to touch her check but stopped noticing the chang in her eye color. He wanted to say more and yet he now found it difficult to speak

"Save yourself, Xander" she said before stepping back. Her eyes now flashed in demonic yellow color for a brief moment as a wickedness played in them and in her voice." Yeah, Xander......run....." she said. Her voice now sounded different. As it would be not Felicia...but someone else..trapped in her body. Her then changed back black as she touched her head with hands." Leave me alone, Seyra!" she nearly yelled. Her eyes shifts to yellow once again. " Why should i?"

He looked at her in concern. He barely knew her and he didnt understand what eas going on exactly but the name she called out, that name. He was relieved she didnt want him to leave her alone personaly that this Syra was causing her agony was driving her on the edge of sanity. Seyra....it rang a small bell in his mind and yet he wasnt sure where he had heard the name before. "Felicia, I will not leave you" he said in a strong voice unafraid of her sudden voice chage and watched her clsoly incase she asttacked him. He placed his hand on her check and whispered "fight it felicia...."

Seyra was strong.....stronger than ever before she was. A demonic spirit that Felicia was forced to make a deal with. But Xander's voice was reaching deep inside to Felicia.....yet she felt as imprisoned.....the only hope was Xander....his voice.....so caring....so concern and gentle......" Leave me alone, Seyra!" she yelled as trying to regain her true self over Seyra....she droped onto her knees all of a sudden......her eyes are changing constantly untill she used all of her energy to win over Seyra. A scream of whicked spirit coul be heared as it was put to speep again.....Felicia still was holding onto her head.....Her long redish brown hair became a littly messy.....eyes normal black and tired.....

He looked at her and realizing things were calm he bentdown besides her. His hands lightly grabbed hold of her elbows so her arms would rest agasint his as she would slowly help her back to her feet."Struggling to find the light of your own soul is har I see when the limited space in your body is being overwhelmed by the invading presence of another" he daid softly. He had never had to deal with such a thing and yet there he was speaking of it when he barely knew what he was saing. Words of comfort rahter it was ocnsidered wisdom or not was entirely up to her to decide. "Do you need me to carry you dear Felicia? " he asked his voice abit louder yet he tried to calm it back down so his voice wasnt booming in her ear

She glanced at him slowly as he helped her up onto her feet again. It was strange that she trusted this guy more than herself.....especialy after she was left by her boyfriend two years ago. "You.....you are the light...." she said.Her words were nothing but a whisper in a wind. Felicia felt as her eyes were closing down but she didn't want to drift into sleep yet....she tryed to stay up......she tryed now to ackt 'miss brave girl' as she always does. "Xander....." she whispered his name and rested her head against shoulder wrapping her arm around him for some strange reason. " Thank you........"

He lightly hugged her a smile on his face from her soft yet barely audible words. His hand lightly rubbed her back to comfort her for a moment in the rain not caring if his once dry clths that had been under his trench now got wet as he stayed wih her "So my dead Felicia, you need to rest. If you are out here any longer you are sure to become ill" he said softly and sneezed himself rightafter saying it. He would now support her to stand walking with her again. "If you would be kind enough to tell me your address so taht I may take you home if you are to pass out....that would be appreciated and the best thing to do as you wouldnt want to be cought in such terrible weather for long

A soft smile played upon her lips as she found some streangh to do it still. Her half closed eyes making her to seem even cuter than she is. Felicia had no problem with telling him her adress and glanced at him. "Why......why didn't you leave me...?" she asked silently gazing at him.

He looked at her. His eyes suddenly filled with deep pain as if being stabed a few times. He was silent before he said in a low voice "Now why would I leave an angel laying out in the streets in the pouring rain?" he forced a chuckle out still carring her to ger her someplace dry as he ould see her apartment building up ahead

"But.....i am no angel..." she whispered some as she was shivering in cold now. " She......she could have hurt you...." she said with caring voice tone as if he was more dear to her than her own health and life. " I don't want her to hurt you....." she said. "She's......dangerous.....". Her eyes drifted towards her house. It was small and simple from outside, but inside the house had a warm californic style designed by her own hands. Only few warm pastelic colors....only few interesting deteils....not too much but still enought....

He helped her to the house letting her go so that she would be able to unlock the door when she did and walked in he stood where he was with a smile. "You really should get some rest" he said watching her "Do take care. Stay stronge, dont lose youreself completly to whatever it is that is torturing you inside" he said in a low voice now" he took his hat off and bowed to her returning it on and turned to head off towards his own home

She smiled some gazing at him while he was talking. Felicia hang on his every word since they met. " I'll be fine....thanks for everything, Xander" she said softly and placed a kiss upon his cheek before he could walk away." Take care of yourself, my friend.." she said and watched him leave untill he disappeared in horin and then steped in.She closed the door and leand against them sitting down. Smile never leaving her lips not even for a secound.

He had forgotten his trench coat and when he realized he had he shrugged deciding to let the woman keep it. When he was out of sigh he touched his cheeck and felt his ears slightly get hot from embaressement. He reached his home going to his bathroom stripping naked in his bathtub before walking to his bed room to get some clean clothing on. He sighed thinking about the woman named Falicia and his hand touched his cheek again. If he had still been a small boy he would have said he planned to never wash his cheek again but he was mature now and knew saying something like that was silly. It wasnt like the two of them had a deep relationship. They had bumped into eachother and he walked her home. He dindt want to get his hopes up high only to have them crushed later on. He sighed turning the lights off once in clean dry sleep ware and fell to sleep

Felicia finaly stood up slowly and and walked to her bathroom. She filled bathtub with hot water with some lavander oils so could relax. Dressing off her clothes in a mirror she saw Seyra's face." Awww....someone's in love, aren't ya?" Seyra said smirking at Felicia." Shut up you crazy creature....it's none of your concern...." she said as if would be angery at Seyra and just continued to dress off and got into bathtub leaning back and relaxing some. "Why so angry? What did i do?" spirit asked teasingly." Just shut it..." she said making her to go silent.

Maybe a week passed before the two would meet up again. He was in a pizza place with a giant pie as he sat with a little girl that giggled and grabed a slice of pizza. During the 7 days or so the woamn he had met had been on his mind. He wanted to see her again so badly and wondered where he just might be able to find her. He took in a deep breath and now helped himself to some of the pizza. It was double cheese the way the child with him liked it. She was such a happy child and her small laughter did bring him from his depressed mood. He was in some baige shorts and a green botton down shirt now. he didnt care if it might now look right to others as he felt comfortable in them. He glanced out the store through the glass wall watching people walking around living their lives

There was a book store nearby the pizzeria they were eating at. Right in few secounds afre he thought about Felicia, she walked into a book store and disappeared. There wasn't many peaople - not many likes to read now day ....everyone better goes to movies or sits in internet.But not Felicia...she had so many reasons to read..it's not only her hobby...reading is a must for her studies now. It helps to actualy adopt to a civil life now to her. Felicia's eyes as always cought books that she often comes to bye - ezoteric ones. Her fingers softly running through the backs of books, her black eyes watching every tytle.....but when comes to choosing a good book - she trusts only her onwn sixth sence.

He saw her and his mood got a bit brighter but he couldnt persue her yet. He had the child to look after and a pie to eat. He knew he could invite Felicia to have some pizza but it was too late. He sighed again. He couldnt just leave when the little girl was enjoying the pizza in the commfort of where she sat. She could move and eat while walking but he couldnt do that to her. He loved her to much and so many thoughts of him not being able to hold her hand leaving her to either be run over, kidnapped or for her to run off and so on flashed through his mind. "You wanna go to the book store and get some books Maraisole?" he asked her softly seeing her smile and nod her head as she loved picture books

Felicia took one book finaly.It was about ancient religions and reincarnations. Something that she needed for some reasons. Felicia leaned against a random wall browsing through the pages of the book intently and actualy didn't notice a world around her as if it would be gone....

....to be continued...

he finished in the pizza place 30 minutes later and wiped his face clean along with his nieces face clean and they crossed the street to the book store. He took a deep breath he needed to be causual and not seem like a fool if he saw her clearly showing he knew she was there thinking that would freak her out. He led the way through the aisles trying to locate her that he was happy not to yet pass the childrens section

She has heared as door opened and closed with a tingle wind bells as they came in. Felicia's eyes darted from left to right hoping to see who was there. Her sences told her it was something she knows, but didn't cought a glimps of his sight yet and heads towards to the counter bring the book with herself.

He didnt even know she had been so close to the bookstoore entrence. He got to the childrens section and decided maybe she left and he had missed her. He shook her from his mind looking at the books croshed low to look a the books with the little girl. "I'll get you whatever you want" he said his voice soft. It always was when talking to the girl or even when trying to be friendly since his orginal voice was loud deep and unpleasent for the ears

She had to cross children's section to reach the counter and exedently bumped into Xander...again. Seems as if destiny wants them to meet like this....Her eyes lifted at him and lit up in actual joy seein that the person she bumped into was Xander." Well well.." she said fixing her little white dress that she was wearing today. Her long redish brown hair were falling freely around her delicate shoulders. " The world is really small..."

he placed his hand on the back of his neck "It sure is" he let out a small laugh. Only one however he looked to her. His eyes freezing on hers once again as she shook her head "Well I'm baby sitting and I thought Id get my niece a book since she loves those picture books" he said ligthly trying not to have his voice catch in his throat now as he clearly was becoming nervous around her. "Her name is marisol" he added

She laughed slightly at his comments. "Lier" Seyra said deep in Felicia's mind and went silent again." Really? That's nice....many hates babysitting" she said with a smile of her glossed lips. " I often come here......they has interesting books"

He sighed lightly he never was in a book store unless he was with someone. He didnt read or atleast he dindt just pick up a book . His sisters daughter finally found a book and began to jump about happily as he smiled grabbed her up playfully tickled her lightly and sat her back down as she followed to go pay for the book

She glances at the girl and smiled some.' She's a true cuttie" she said with a smile." How old is she?" Felicia was watching them both. Marisol was a happy child - she had mother...father and loving uncle....Felicia was happy once too....but not for long. She smiled some shaking off bad memories and approached the counter. She also took a book that Marisol choosen and pays for it then hands it to the girl." Here ya go, cuttie......"

The child didnt really have a father as the dirtbag left her mother yet she was still happy. He looked to the second book given to his niece and smiled “Her thanks a lot, I really like to see her happy. Her mother isnt home a lot and she normally is cared for different people in my family when ever someone is busy. I have the honor of taking care of her today and tmoorrow my only freedays in the entire weak” he said his voice abit tired of having to work but I twas life after all

"I understand....but it should be a pleasure to watch over such an angelic as Mari" she said. " I am busy mostly myself with almost three jobs and studies.....but sometimes i can't help myself but to help kids...i have a thing for them" she said smiling some." And this little gift is the less that i can do for saving me last week....i really owe you, Xander.."

He gave a small smile "Dont mention it. I'm hear to help. I used to be terrible at understanidng people.... I still am somewhat bad at it but I think ive come a long way" he chuckled lightly as they exited the store. His niece handed him the books not wanting to hold them as she stretched yawning he picked her up and let her fall to sleep in his arms. "So three jobs? How do you manage?" he asked impressed as he would have killed himself over three jobs

She smiled some at his comments and more at his cute niece. " You? Bad?....No way i could believe it.." she said laughting slightly. " Well when you live alone and need money badly you can do mostly anything...gladly one of jobs is one of biggest hobbies" she said smiling. " Afcause i'm getting worn out but i'm happy......"

He looked at her he wasnted to suggest something but that would be beyond his limit to just jump out and grab the oppertunity by the neck. He also would hate rejection rearing its ugly face. He smiled "Oh please do tell" he said interested

"Do tell what?" she saked glancing at him." My hobbie jobbie?" she said jokingly." It's photography......i have a little personal galery of pictures.." she said. "Sometimes it calls for traveling but i do love it......i think i'll never abandon this job" she said smiling." And what your job is, Xander?"

I would love to see your photos osme time" he smiled than answered her question "Well I work at a company as a telemarketer... I almost got a promotion bu I was turned down whena much younger guy pushed his way into my spot being a ass kisser" he muttered. He held the sleeping child still and walked "where are you headed?"

"I'll show you them one day" she said smiling and pointed to the west." To the university for a brief moment...need to give something to the teacher" she said. "Done my homework and now i have to give it.

He nodded. He had noting to do and was thinking about just going to the playground before but since the shild was sleeping he had to takee her home. "I really should head off to put this little one in bed since she has fallen to sleep" he said softly. He was hpapy he had cought her "Is it alright if I.... Have your number?"

She smiled some at his question and shuffled into her pucket then pulled out a paper with her number." This is my personal phone number.." she said and leaned into kiss little Mari on the cheek. " She's realy lucky child, Xander" she said smiling.

"She really is. Her mother is going to be so happy when she comes to pick Marsol up tomorrow" he said softly thinking about how his sister morked as a waitress and a dishwasher at the end of the day "Take care. I hope to catch you tomorrow" he smiled and began to head off carfully pocketing the number while still holding the sleeping child

She smiled some noded at him and waved while walking away." See ya tommorow, good sir" she said and heads off to the university. Walking through puzzling coridors, Felicia hardly could find cabinet of the teacher and had to wait untill he came. The cabinet was locked. Felicia took some while and almost got asleep.

Two days had passed and he never had the chance to meet up with her before than but he couldnt help but tell his sister about the new woman he had met in his life. He was excited and really wanted to get to know her but still was abit worried. He would call her getting her machine where he left a message asking if she would possibly like to have dinner with him dometime that week.

But Felicia was busy with some bad things herself. Or should she tell....Seyra....controlling her became harder and harder..and besides that rain had weakened her as well so Seyra had a perfect chance to take over her. Now she was at some museum trying to steal something. Who would step in would see now only frozen guards....Felicia herself didn't feel well...but to Seyra it didn't matter.....

He sighed and would walk to her house to find that noone would answer the door. he sighed and turned around when he heard soemone scream that the museaum was being robbed. The oplace was far and he woulnt run to it on foot and the traffic seemed bad so taking the bus was out of the question. While running down the street he passed a shop with a glass wall and looked in ata tv on the news and saw the woman robbing the place and he frooze watching what was going on. "I need to get there" he said to himself outloud

The woman was Felicia as well. She was wearing her mask now but eyes still seen(the mask in the picture). She fast and sneaked out of there unseen with a treasure in her hand. A most rarest blue diamond was in her hands. Thought she was feeling as if tearing apart inside - she didn't like what Seyra was diong but she couldn't to do a thing against her for it would turn against herself..

He wouldnt be able to go however and would return to her house sitting on her steps towait for her. He took in a deep breath hoping she was alright as he reconized her eyes fro mthe news and yet soemone else could have had the same eeyes which made him think

Soon she came back to her home and stoped in her tracks as she saw Xander on her steps. She was not wearing her mask now - it was in other hand than that one that held the diamond. She stared at him saying no any word for she didn't know what to say....Felicia now felt so badly infront of him and already wanted to turn back and walk away untill he didn't notice her coming.

he had actaully fallen to sleep. he had been sitting there a while and dindt notice anything while he sat there. he had tried not to drift off to sleep yet had failed and it seemed that he would miss Felicia

She thought stopped in her tracks as turned back to him watched him sleeping. A sigh ran down her cheek....now how could she leave him when he so helped to her. She slowly approached him and teleported both of them inside and layed him into the bed, cover with a blanket and sat beside staring at the diemind. She silently made her mask disappear, the diamond disappeared too so that employees of museum could find it.

He woke up awhile later wondering where he was and how he hadnt woken up when touched. he saw her and blushed "I uh.... I'm sorry" was all he could say. he couldnt remember why he was there or anything since his brain had forced him to forget anything bad about her since he only wanted to trust her.

She slowly glanced at him with her deep black eyes and pulled out a small smile. She seemed to be weak and sick since the night she walked in the rain withought an umbrelly....Her hand slowly lifted and touched his cheek.She was going to lean into kiss him but passed out and fell down all of a sudden.

he sat up quickly as part of her fell to the bell but was slipping off to fall. He clenched onto her and pulled him up holding her to his chest as she was ontop of him before he moved to get out og the bed in order to ruck her in. He had no idea why she passed out but he wouldnt leave he ralone. He now wanted to make sure shewas alright. He went off to get a cool clean rag and returned placing it on her forehead since it had seemed like it was burning up when he touched it. He shook his head thinking shehas gone through alot

Felicia was uncoucious - that's a fact. Her breathing is faint but steady. Her skin seemed to burn - like but inside she felt cold. In her mind Felicia returned to the times when she was a teenager. Once seen dream came her. Here she is a beautyful garden...all trees blooming....whole air filled with falling blossoms and intoxicating arome...the sky is so clear and blue that no one has seen it before....she was standing in a middle of the garden...." How...?" she whispered to herself in her dream. " Why..?Why am i here?" she said silently.

He wasnt in her dream but when he would walk over to look at her, her eyelids seemed to move. "Dreaming.... Sweetdreams" he bruseed her hair out of her fase and kidded her forehead. He hope it wasnt a night mare as she moved about her room. He wasnted to spy on her now to find out what kind of person she was sionce he knew he would never be able to crack her open to look at her core if the being inside her her fused to. He sighed.. He had thought those very same thoughts before and yet they stayed with him . They stayed because this angel had fallen from the sky anr right into him. he laughed lightly at the thought thinking he might be conceited. He found her beautiful though. He didt care if anyone else did If they did he would fight for her if not he never wanted to let her go

She felt a so familiar feeling. A blinding light flashed infront of her eyes. It was worm and soft. Felicia reached out for the light trying to remember. What was that? But as soon she touched the light it disappeared and a female appeared instead of the light.A beautyful angel was smiling down upon her. Felicia's eyes had widened at such surprised." You..." she said and a smile came to her lips." Where have you been?" she asked gazing at the angel. " Darkness has consumed you since autocrash, Felicia....." angel said warmly." It didn't allow me to approach you.....Seyra is too dangerous.....and you must find a harmony between darkness and light...or else it will consume you completly.." she said seriously." But how.....?" Felicia was comfused and lost.in such situation she was first time. She didn't know what to do. Angel smiled at her and disappeared in same blinding light."Wait!" she shouted but there was noone - angel was gone. "Trust your heart......" a voice said.Felicia looked around and saw amulet on the ground.She knelt down to take it and soon as she touched the amulet she snaped out off her dream. Her eyelids slightly flattered to open.

He was staring at her. She would awake to his concerned looking face "nightmare?" he asked since she had been mumbling something in her sleep that seemed disappointed to him. he ran his hand through her hair. " I am making you some tea..." he said hoping she didnt mind him using her stove and such to make it. "It might calm your nerves and make your body slightly feel at ease" he said softly

"Xander..." she whispered as now completly waken up. " No....it was.....not a nightmare.." she said pulling out a small smile. She then felt something in one of her hands, somethin it was holding almost tightly as if wouldn't want to lose that thing. She slowly lifted that hand and loosened her fingers releaving an amulet that she got in her dream. Her eyes then nearly widened and she slowly glanced at him as if dazed off slightly. " Yeah...thanks...."

He looked at the amulet. It was beautiful and he wanted it. He smiled and turned around going to her kitchen. He would return 5 minutes later with some tea. He gave her a cup and took one for himself. He planned t owash it after he was done since he was the one to just take them from her cabnits and all. How did you get that amulet in your hand?

She took the cup into another hant at carefully took a sip of a tea. How did she got amulet?That was a good question. Hard to explain what she doesn'ts fully herself." Huh?Amulet?" she muttered slightly and glanced at her hand." Oh this one?.......umm....well it's....hard to explain....you probably..wouldn't believe that.." she said smiling slightly.

Hrm... Alright" he gave a small smile he was willing to beleive anything with what he has seen in his past and now he was sure anything was possible after meeting her. "May I look at it?" he asked his voice suddenly low. He looked at it danglingbetween her fingers as he wondered if he would let her take hold of it

She glanced at the amulet staring at it for a while." Sure...." she said and hands the amulet to him. " I...really don't understand myself anything...." she said with a sigh and took another sip of her tea. " I...saw an angel in my dream...." she said leaning back against a wall that her bed was nearby. " She used to come to me in my dreams in my childhood......when i needed it mostlt....during hard times......but..since one event she has disappeared....." she said staring off through the window.


He loked att he amulet seeming to not hear a word she said when he heard everyword of it. He looked up at her and handed it back "Put it on. If an angel gave it to you it might hold a hint of light over your heart..." he said softly staring hard at her with a smile
