Chapter One: The Mid-Night Meeting.

The wind whispered secrets into the tree's canopy. The leaves rustled with giggles at the new information, while the moons watched over everything like a mother's eye. In a large scale park, with a center patch filled with the wonders of nature, stood a lonely forest. At night the trees sighed, tired of being so isolated. In the darkest hour of the star filled night, laid a girl under the sheets of green leaves. Her navy-blue hair was tied back into two short pig-tails which hung loosely around her heart shaped face. She had her eyes closed and was letting her mind wonder into the storage rooms of her earliest childhood memories.

A distant laughter broke the peaceful silence startling Musa. A small gasp escaped her and she sat up. The cover of the trees made her feel calmer but not entirely. The footsteps were getting closer and she was becoming more nervous. Suddenly, a voice boomed and a fit of giggles followed. Her heart beat franticly in her chest and her breath caught in her throat while her whole body shivered. Musa hated social situations of any kind. She had no friends at all and she did not mind for she was used to it. After her mother's death a few years back, she shut herself up, hid in her shell. Hardly ever venturing out. By now, her hands were glowing a soft red, and a small melody was floating in the air. A short gasp was carried over the wind.

"Riven! Did you order and orchestra?" A girl's high-pitched voiced asked, slyly.

"Well,...yes! Yes I did." Riven gloated, even though he had know clue where that mystical melody was being play from. At this moment he wrapped his arms around Anastacia's thin waist and held her close. A soft breeze played with her straight maroon hair. His finger tips touched the ends of her waist length hair as she rested her head gently on his muscled chest. Her eyes opened wide with shock and disbelief. This player feels nothing for me. He just wants a girlfriend, she thought. Now, Anastacia was a senior in Alfea and was gifted with the power to feel other's emotions and use the power of the emotions to produce her spells. She was a tall red-head, almost 6'1" and a quick temper, this great or horrible trait of hers caused her powers to become more powerful, though, her most weakest point is when love is strong. Love is the only emotion she can't use.

"Riven, this tune feels nervous and scared. Why pick this one?"

"Uhh, well, you see, every time I am around you I feel nervous and scared because you can leave me whenever you want," he silently congratulated himself on making the cheesiest love line ever and making her fall for it.

"Aww! You are the sweetest boy." She smiled and hugged him while planning a very clever way to piss him off. " 'Am sorry darling, I have to go. You know how father gets when I get home late. Now you wouldn't want him to forbid me to see you again, now would you?"

"What?! Of course not! I would die without you, my darling." He mocked her sudden change to an English accent causing her to giggle into his shoulder. He lifted her chin up and lightly pecked her on the lips. In this situation a few days ago she would of been screaming her head off right now, but she just smiled up at him, and he noticed it.

"Ok, Riven. I'll be going now. See you tomorrow." She called elegantly and glided over to an empty bench. Sitting down she whispered a few magical words and disappeared. Musa, who had been watching this whole ordeal, was able to stop the melody within the few seconds that Anastacia had left.

"Who's there?!" Riven called out into the forest. His voice changing from soft to rough. She winced and hurriedly got up dropping her earring. Damn it, she thought in her head. Her small diamond earring was one of the few precious things she had left. She closed her eyes tightly and concentrated on the image of the earing in her mind.

"Vind het." She whispered, as she passed her hand over the tops of the blades of grass. With her eyes closed she touched a small cool object in the grass. Her heart leaped and she smiled as she took the earring and gently pushed it into her pocket.

"What are you doing here?"

"Huh!?" Riven startled her out of her wits and before she knew it he was chasing her into the brush of the forest.

"Leave me alone!" She called out in a choked voice.

"Get back here you meddling fairy!" He replied, as he reached and grabbed her red mid-drift. Musa fell back wards and bumped her head on the ground. She groaned out in pain as Riven got on top of her and held her down.

"Why where you following me?"

"I- I was not! Let me go."

"Not until you tell me why." Riven stared down at her.

"I wasn't. Let me go!! Laat gaan," Riven's hands loosen their grip on her and he was forcefully thrown back against a tree. Musa took this opportunity to stand up and make her way to a clearing; by now, she tears were streaming down her cheeks and her lungs were burning. She kept glancing back to see if that obnoxious Redfountain student was following her.

Stupid fairy, Riven thought, as he rubbed the back of his head. He gave a low growl as he felt a small bump already forming. Stupid, stupid, obsessive, fan girl fairy. To Riven, nothing could be more annoying than fan girls, specifically the ones that followed him. But something clicked inside his head. Why as she crying? Why did she push him away instead of trying to kiss him? By now he was standing up and he just shrugged the idea away.

"Ga haar huis," She disappeared without a trace, the only remain was a tear left cradled on a long blade of green grass.
