Chapter two

The rush of wind flew past, whispering soft nothings to those who would listen. The sky was a bright blue scattered with white puffy clouds following one another. Birds of many colors talked and sang to one another in their high voices. The earthly smell of the ground carried up all the way to the heavens.

Aura felt like she was in the heavens, her large black wings fluttered behind her, feeling every breath of the wind. She gently chuckled as a pair of swallows danced around her red hair, softly pecked the flowing locks. The trio started to race each other; the little male seemed to be in the lead before Aura quickly passed him. However, soon the two birds slowed drastically, sensing there was something wrong, Aura slowed too. She hovered as she turned her head towards the swallow pair; they seemed to be doing figure eights in the air, they then flew off in a mad panic.

Aura's newly formed frown deepened as she watched the swallows turn into tiny specks. Just as Aura turned to fly home a large hand with long fingers grabbed themselves around her neck. She was only able to give a half scream before the hand, tightly wrapped around her fragile neck, crushed her windpipe. Her vision blurred as her face tilted upward, towards where the hand seemed to be descending. The last thing she saw before her eyes rolled back into her head was a snake-like, front teeth showing smile.


Aura's eyes opened wide with fright at the dream she had just experienced, it had felt so real, she felt her neck just to make sure there really was no hand there. She felt with ever nerve ending in her body, the sweat trickling down her face. She was even more startled to find a pair of purple eyes staring down on her followed by a worried flustered face. Wonderweiss slowly leaned out of Aura's personal space but continued to stare at her with worried eyes.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHOOA?" Wonderweiss asked looking at Aura from beside her bed. Aura seemed to compose herself as she sat up; she then quickly wiped the sweat from her face and smiled softly at Wonderweiss.

"I'm fine, thank you Wonderweiss."Aura said pulling the blanket from her body and legs and stood up. The blond arrancar lightly grasped her hand, causing Aura to stop her journey to the window in her room. Her lips quivered slightly before giving a confused and worried Wonderweiss a gently hug.

Sensing her need for physical comfort, Wonderweiss self-consciously hugged the red-head back.

"…aahoooh…" Wonderweiss mumbled as he felt Aura begin to tremble slightly. He looked up as he felt Aura bury her face into his blond locks. All Wonderweiss worry erupted into a flood as he felt warm tears trickle down Aura's cheeks.

Wonderweiss sat in a corner and watched Tosen work on some of the surveillance units. He hadn't seen Aura since the morning and was starting to go into panic mode. He was worried enough about what happen in the morning, but not seeing her the rest of the day was really beginning to stress him out. They always saw each around this time but he couldn't even feel her spiritual pressure.

Tosen was facing the screens but his attention was on Wonderweiss. The small arrancar had been eerily quiet all day, even Gin had commented on it. Kaname had a suspicion it had to do with the absence of the women Aura. The dark skinned man did not say anything directly to Wonderweiss, but made it apparent that he was a little worried about the small arrancar.

Wonderweiss quietly stood up and slipped out of the room with a jumbled goodbye to Tosen. The bucked-tooth arrancar walked through the white halls, his senses on high alert. He was trying with all his ability to sense Aura.

"Whooo," Wonderweiss muttered as he failed again and again to sense the fallen angel. He gave a soft sigh as he scanned the maze-like hallways with a blank expression.

Aura's heart seemed to stop, time seemed to slow down, the large hallway felt like a tiny box as she stared into a snake-like, front tooth showing smile surrounded by darkness. It was the same smirk that she had seen in her dream. Aura backed against the wall as the smirk came closer and closer. Soon, the face that owned the malicious smile came into view and as it did all Aura's breath was taken from her. Nnoitra Jiruga's long face came into view.

"Well, well. What is Aizen-sama's little pet doing on this side Hueco Mundo?" Nnoitra sneered with a lecherous smirk. Aura shuddered then clenched her fist and glared at Nnoitra with fake confidence.

"Back off Nnoitra, y-you and I both know I would win in a fight," Aura barked keeping her eyes on the lanky arrancar, Nnoitra frowned slightly before lashing out as quick as a cobra. Aura cried out as Nnoitra grabbed her hair and yanked her up to his eye.

"Sure got a sharp tongue, don't ya?" Nnoitra snarled before dragging the red-head into his room.

"What the hell is your…" her voice was cut off as she was struck across the face.

"Keep your mouth shut, bi*$%" Aura was tossed like a rag doll onto his bed. She could only give a small whimper as Nnoitra's dark outline descended on her.
