All right. I decided to put intros to the chapters in order to explain some things. First of all, this is part two of the Sorceress series that I'm going to create. I think there are going to be three in total, but maybe four. So if you stumble across this story I advise you to read Part I: The Sorceress' Feather in order to understand what's going on. Please review too.

Chapter I is a suspicious chapter. I know a lot of people are going to say, "Who's this girl?" "Why do they use bills and not gil?" However, that would be spoiling the surprise. Then at the end you'll definitely be like, "How did he get in here?" but that's not important. This part has nothing to do with Rinoa or her journey and I apologize, but it will tie in later on. I also apologize if I offend anyone that is sensitive to prostitution, because this chapter is all about it. So please read it anyways, all you wimps that think it's wrong, because it's totally worth it. That's all I got to say, so enjoy.

Chapter I

"When the feather breaks, to the world she shall take"

"When she has taken the world, to the stars she shall ascend"

"One day...I'm gonna leave this town, you know?" A red-headed girl said. She was sixteen and wore a short purple dress with black high heels. Most would think she was a hooker, and they were generally right.

"What do you mean?" A groggy voice came from the shadows.

"I don't know. I think I just wanna get outta this city. Away from all the business and corruptness. Is that even a word? Well, anyways...I wanna leave and live somewhere else. A nice little town or just travel around a while."

"Whatever. Why are you telling this to me?" The figure sat up in the bed the two were sharing.

The girl turned around, "I just wanted to say it. That's all."

"Sure. Anyways, how much do I owe you?" The figure got out of bed with nothing on. It walked over to the bundle of clothes on the floor and slipped on a pair of boxers.

"Three fifty." She replied.

"Fine." The figure took out the wallet from the back pocket of his pants.

"I think I'm gonna save up all the money I make and get on the first train outta this place. I don't care where it goes. I guess that's half the fun, huh?" She also got up completely naked and took the bills out of his hand.

"I don't care what you do with that money. I got what I wanted." He slipped on his shirt and looked around for his socks.

"I know that. Just tryin' to make conversation." She put her hands on her bare hips.

"Sure. Well, I gotta go. So maybe I'll look you up if I need it." He began to head out the door.

"Don't forget your coat!" She yelled at him.

"Oh yeah. Forgot." He shrugged and pulled the coat off the coat hanger and slipped it on.

"I have something else for you too. I need you to sign my customer book. Procedures and stuff like that." She took a small book and pen out of her purse lying on a chair and handed them to him.

"Fine." He took the book and pen from her and furiously scribbled his name in it.

"Thanks. Hope to see you again." She smiled as he handed it back to her.

The man opened the hotel door and headed out.

The girl sat down on the bed in her bareness and flipped through the book. She looked curiously at the scribbles to make out the name. She hadn't gotten it the night before.

"Seifer? That's a weird name." She said as she closed it and began to get dressed.
