A young teenage girl sighed mentally. Old man Vis' words had corrupted her mind into utter chaos, and the fact that her guy friends Rex and Duran were acting different than usual didn't help. All she wanted to do was go and sleep in her warm comfy bed.

"What are you doing?" Mieli asked. The girl looked over at her and gave a small grin. When she turned back she noticed why she asked her what she was doing. Right in front of her was the door to her house, closed. During her thinking, she had almost walked right into the door.

Rempo saw the girl's reaction and started laughing. Scowling angrily, she flicked the little fire spirit. He immediately stopped laughing and begun complaining. Groaning, the girl rolled her eyes at the fire spirit while Mieli giggled ditzy-like.

"Rempo please just shut up for a moment. Vis' comment is driving me a little bit insane," she told the little spirit.

"Not my fault you can't stop thinking about two possible suitors. You're such a player," Rempo laughed, earning yet another groan from the teenager. She had to use all of her strength just to stop her-self from flicking him into the wall of her house.

"I am not a player. To me they're only friends. Heck, Rex is practically my older brother."

"And that makes him the perfect suitor!"

"Rempo I am not going to date my brother!" she yelled at the boy who was hooting with laughter. Just then, the girl felt a drop of water hit her face. Looking up into the sky, another drop fell in her eye. She quickly wiped her stinging eye only to start getting soaked from the rain that was now heavily pouring. Rain certainly can come fast when it wants to.

Mieli and Rempo yelped and quickly changed into little red and green sparkles. The girl gave what would have been them questioning looks before Mieli disappeared into the book. Neaki was being a party pooper and hadn't come out of the book so she didn't need to worry about changing into her sparkle form.

"We're book spirits. That means if the book gets went, we can't do anything!" Rempo told the girl before joining Mieli and Neaki inside the book. Sometimes she forgot that they were tired to the book. They didn't seem like they were really connected to the book; besides the fact that they live in it.

Wiping some water from her face, the young girl turned to open the door. Just before opening the door, she felt someone's presence behind her. Quickly turning around, she saw a pair of golden eyes staring at her from the bushes in front of her house. "Just how long have those eyes been there?" The eyes blinked and started to rise up and out of the bush. She clutched the book close to my chest as she waited for the pair of eyes to come out of the darkness.

From the darkness, a man... no a teenager my age walked towards the only source of light nearby, the girl's house. To her surprise, the guy's golden eyes actually suited him. His long purple braided hair was damp and clung to his - what would have been - loose clothing if not for the rain making it stick to him. He wore a lot of jewellery and there was a gigantic sword on his back. It all seemed to tie together his look of mysteriousness. The girl couldn't stop herself from gawking at him. This was the first time any guy at actually left a reaction on her.

Then... he spoke and if it were not for the sentence that he said, the girl would have died. "Are you Alexandria?" Her earlier reaction disappeared instantly and her whole body tensed up. The last time Alex was called by her full name was when Rempo was introducing her to Neaki. And that was like a week ago. She absolutely hates her full name because it is a constant reminder of her life before meeting Rex.

"I go by Alex," the girl responded darkly. The boy gave a simple nod of recognition. Confused as to why he wanted to know who she was, Alex opened her mouth to ask him. However, all that left her mouth was all the air in her lungs. Without warning, the purple haired boy had punched the girl in the gut; causing her to black out.
