On a Sunday with the birds chirping loudly, a monkey sat on the ledge of a fence, watching his other half reading a story, on the porch nearby. The woman had met a wealthy man that was a politician, he was handsome and he was high in power. His name was Edward Coulter. Mrs. Coulter was just sitting on the porch reading, she had been happy about just getting married a few days ago. The monkey found a worm and started to rip it apart, Marisa felt a little bit of excitement run up her breast.

"Marisa," called Edward, coming out of the large house they both owned.

"What are you doing darling?"

"Reading a book, why what is it?""

"I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me tonight to meet a few friends of mine. Is that ok?" Edward said sitting next to his wife. The monkey daemon came down and sat on Marisa's shoulder, looking at the lion daemon. Marisa put her hands into the book and sat it down on her lap, looked at her husband and said with a passionate smile. "Sure I'd love to." Edward kissed his wife's cheek and went into the house and worked on the rest of his presentation. Marisa looked at the ground then her daemon.

"Why doesn't he love us?"

"I don't know?" was his only reply.

The two began to read once more. Over her life she thought how it would be to fall in love, but she had never experienced it for herself. Edward only loved his work and his status, all he thought of was he had a beautiful wife which made Marisa and her daemon shiver of the thought of just being a beautiful "pet".

That night Marisa and Edward headed to Royal Artic Institute, where Edward's presentation was held. Edward had to prepare for this in front of all his friends and all of his colleagues, especially some famous explorers. Carlo Boreal was standing next to Edward, Boreal's daemon was next to the lion like she may bite her in the throat. "

"So, how are you planning on pulling this off Edward?" Carlo asked as he moved to the other side of the curtain was. They both were in the back trying to come with an idea of including this.

"I don't know, I'll think of something," he said walking to the stage, as it opened. "Now everyone I have an explain that many things the world has that may lie in a few years.."

Marisa wasn't truly listening to what her husband was saying, she simply didn't care, nor did she even bother to listen. In her eyes he was just blabbering about nothing and she was sure that his hard work would come to nothing but disappointment. Marisa and her daemon both knew that he did not care about her, or love her. Edward went on, "You all can see why this makes indeed a lot of sense.."

All he did was ramble on and on. Marisa could tell her daemon was getting board so she whispered "Come up here," and patted her lap. The monkey came up at once and sat boardly in her lap and listened. Marisa knew at once how board he was, in her mind she was thinking about taking a walk. Marisa walked from her chair and headed into the institute with all the doors open and all the things in there she had seen, it fascinated her by heart. She walked into a room that had on the wall, Ladies and walked in. "

That was boring wasn't it?" Marisa's daemon asked trying not to be loud, because someone else was in the room.
"To be honest with you it quite was," she said to him as she washed her hands in the small sink. The lady emerged from the restroom stall and found Marisa washing her hands. She joined her and said "Hello Mrs. Coulter," putting her hands into the water as Marisa was picking up a towel to dry her hands.
"Hello Ms Rya," Marisa said in a polite tone.
"Your husband is an awesome speaker I must say," said Ms Rya in a passionate voice that made Marisa feel a bit unconformable talking to her.
"Very well indeed, I think I would quite say so myself." Marisa said wanting to say less because her husband was boring her when he spoke.

"Well I am going to hear more from him so I"ll see you out there." she said putting the towel into the disposal.

"You too."said Marisa in a unkind tone.
Marisa's daemon groaned and said "Lets not listen to him blabber anymore, lets explore some more of the institute," Marisa looked at her daemon in a way she never did before, she disagreed.

"Edward was working on this for as long as I can remember, we can't let him down." she looked into his monkey eyes, his black hands went gently on from his side to his face. He said at last "Your right Marisa. Lets go."

"Very well that's get it over and done with." Marisa said as they both exited the restroom.
Suddenly Marisa couldn't remember which way she was suspense to go back to the stage.
"Do you remember which way we came from?" she asked her daemon.

His golden shoulders shrugged and he said "I can't remember."

A man walked out of the men's restroom, and found a beautiful woman standing wondering where to go. He must of guessed that she was lost. Her back was turned at an angle, he didn't see her face but he walked up stood there waiting what to say. His daemon purred in her snow leopard forum.

The man walked up to where Marisa was standing. She took no notice of him standing not too far away from her. The man finally said, "Are you lost,"he said with his voice horse and husky. Marisa turned to him and jumped a little, the monkey's fur was standing at end.
"No, I am not thank you," Marisa stared at him for a second he was tall, handsome, proud and brave. The man and daemon looked at each other, they both knew they were lost.

"Then why are you just standing there?" he said jumping to a conclusion. When she turned the man couldn't keep his eye's from the sight, she was so beautiful her face looked so innocent and passionate and he felt a grim of pleasure come up in him.

"We are trying to see where to go that is all," Marisa said with a compassionate voice of courage. She knew it wasn't right to flirt with the man but he was so handsome, she couldn't resist him. His blue eyes watching her every move as the time came right. She was a married woman and she couldn't see that her husband had any kind of compassion that this man had for her, she felt weird and her emotions lit up and she almost cried but she was strong enough to fight it. Just the glance of his comfortable smile had a liking that sparkled in her lonely heart.

The daemon's even had a glance of curious feeling toward one another. The snow leopard looked at the monkey and bowed in politeness while the monkey did the same. It was almost a clear liking in the way their daemon's were acting.

"Where are you headed?" he asked "I can help if you are lost?"

"Back to the stage, where the presentation is being held," Marisa said as she almost blushed with embarrassment. The man gently guided her back to the presentation, the thing that fascinated Marisa was the man's courage, bravery, his proud intelligence and how proud he was. Was she falling for him? Was his attraction? His bravery? What ever it was Marisa felt a strong attraction to him. They both where back into the presentation area. Marisa was glad to be back into the area, just because she didn't want to let her husband down.

"Thank you," Marisa said in another one of her passionate voices.

"Your most welcome," he said kissing her on the hand. At once Marisa could hear her husband's voice that made her a little uneasy. The man started to walk off where he was headed. Marisa's heart ached and she felt a bit of sadness fill it. She called out,

"Hey sir!" He turned to her and he answered.
"Yes ma'am?"

Marisa was trying to find out what she was going to say when she finally figured it out.
"Would you like to sit with us?" she said with her beautiful eyes glittering passionately.
"Well I do have a meeting with this special man named Edward Coulter this afternoon. I suppose I could." When he said a special man Marisa almost laughed out loud. She smiled with great passion and led the way where she was going to sit.

The man was sitting where Marisa was and he could see she was board, and he almost laughed it was a funny sight. The man whispered and said, "What is your name?" he asked as she quickly looked at him.
Marisa answered by saying. "My name is Marisa," she said not even bothering with her last name. "and yours?"

"My name is Asriel," he said smiling while they both finished listening to the boring speech.
