A/N: Just as a heads up, I will change the POV without telling you, but do make it obvious as to who's view it's in.

Chapter 3: Confessions

"What do you mean they left you?" I say just as my hand comes down onto the bowl with egg covering my hand. I barely even noticed the goop of the egg running down my arm as the stared in shock at her. Ayra sighs, closing her bright, sky blue eyes. Her dark red hair flows down her face and land past her shoulders.

"I was only five." she says, looking down at the counter. "They never really wanted a child in the first place. So one day they got themselves drunk and were gone by the time I woke up." She fittles with her fingers and avoids making eye contact. "I was tossed into an orphanage and luckily only stayed for two years. But if I knew what happened next, I would have wished for nothing more than to go back." She stops and takes a shaky breath. "I was adopted by this really nice lady. She took care of me, played with me. We did everything together. She even taught me some martial arts." She smiles lightly at a memory. Her expression turns dark again before continuing. "One day, about a year after she took me in, we decided to take a trip. She didn't tell me where, just somewhere far away. We crossed states and took a couple months to get there. I fell asleep about an hour before we got there and the next minute I know, I'm tied to a lab table and people in lab coats were experimenting on me. I spent the next six years in that horrible place." she keeps her head bent down as a silence settles upon us. She suddenly sits straight up with a shocked look on her face. She carefully reaches down her back and pulls out a snake. One look at it and her expression lightens up.

"Aww! Look at you. What were you doing there?" she says as the snake wraps around her arm.

"Dang it! That wasn't the reaction I was looking for!" a voice calls from the edge of the living room.

"Shida!" I yell as I bolt out of the kitchen and around the counter. "Where are you!?" Just as I'm about to run into the living room, I suddenly see the floor coming at me. With quick reflexes, my hands shoot out in front of me and I back flip over the couch. I quickly turn around just to hear footsteps run down the hall. I dash to the entrance to the hall and see a door slam at the end. I grin and quickly dash through the kitchen to the pantry and grab the large bag of flour in the back. I head back to the hall and lightly sprinkle a layer on the floor and out into the living room. I than put the bag on the counter and wait behind the couch. I hear a door close lightly and light footsteps approach this side of the hall. I look to the ground and see footsteps on the light powder and smile. I jump out from behind the couch and tackle the invisible girl. We crash to the floor just as she became visible. I quickly pin her down before she can react.

"Ha! Got you!" I say triumphantly. Her dark, brown eyes glare at me.

"You wouldn't have if you didn't put the flour down again!" She says, struggling from my grip.

"Well, than you shouldn't put your snake in people's shirts." I say standing up and holding out my hand. Instead of taking it, she brings her legs up behind her head and stands up straight. I head to kitchen to finish making breakfast.

"So who's this?" she says, sitting in the stool next to Ayra and gracefully puts her elbows on the counter, head in her hands.

"I'm Arya." She says, holding out her hand while the snake slithers around her shoulders and onto her arm. Shida takes it with a sly grin.

"You've got guts, Arya. Most of my siblings freak out every time I do that." she says while they shake. "I'm Shida."
