This might be the last chapter for a little while. Tomorrow is the last day of school for me but I'll be going out of town and it's going to be almost impossible to upload anything, so sorry! But the next chapter is going to be all fluff so it might be worth reading. I do not own Blue Exorcist or any of its characters, I only own my OCs.
(Paige's POV)
I woke up in Aiko's bed, the night before a little fuzzy. Then what happened cleared up. The memoires of my nightmare hit me like a brick. I don't expect to stop having nightmares anytime soon. "Ugggh! Paige do you have to wake up this early in the morning?" Ariadne said annoyed.
"Don't question my sleeping habits!" I snapped back. I am definitely not a morning person and she was about to find that out.
"Woah, someone's salty today!"
"Do. Not. Ariadne."
"Ok, Ok!" she didn't sound like much of a morning person either. I looked at the clock, 8:48. "God, why do you have to wake at 8:48? I wanted to sleep in until like 10:30!"
"You're not going to do that on my watch." Just then Aiko started to stir.
"Oh, Paige, you're up."
"Sadly…" Ariadne grumbled, I decided it was a good choice of words so I told that to Aiko.
"Oh, do you want to go shopping today then?" She was still trying to cheer me up.
"I guess but what are we going to do about my... appearance." I didn't really know what to call it. She thought for a moment.
"You'll have to stuff your tail in your pants, I'll let you borrow a hat, and I might have an eye patch. But your hair is fine, everyone dyes their hair so it shouldn't look too weird."
"But all I have is a nightgown…"
"Ok, give me like five minutes. I had a niece about your age." With that she got up and left the room. The way she used "had" gave me an odd feeling but I decided to leave it. I went to visit Ariadne instead.
"So, it doesn't look good for us does it?" She asked blankly.
"What do you mean?" I was slightly confused by her lack of emotion.
"I mean, were going to look weird. Always wearing a hat and an eye patch. God forbid someone finds us without those on or sees our tail."
"I guess…"
"Oh and I wanted to say sorry." She looked down and her bangs hid her eyes.
"For what?" I had a feeling about what it was.
"About your mother, about all of this…"
I hesitated, realizing I was kind of mad. "It's ok," I lied.
"I know your lying, we share emotions remember…"
"Listen, I don't blame you, I blame your mom. She's the one that did it."
"I know you'll never forgive her, but I hope someday you might try…"
"I don't know if I can."
"I'm sorry for making you cry too." I felt a hot tear run down my face. I hadn't noticed it before but it looks like I've been crying a lot. I was going to reply but I was pulled back to reality by Aiko's hand on my shoulder. She was holding a t-shirt and jeans. She gave them to me and told me to try them on while she looked for an eye patch.
The jeans and shirt were slightly bigger than I would like but I took what I could get. I stuffed my tail into the jeans as best as I could manage, it didn't look too bad. I came out of the bathroom to find Aiko with a green beanie and a black eyepatch. She tied the eyepatch for me and put the beanie on me and made sure it looked good.
"Alright, you're ready, let's go," she said after she finished brushing my hair. We got into her car and headed for the mall.
