I'm still trying to get in the swing of writing again. I'm not sure how often I'll be posting but I promise to update more often! I'm also working on a Law fic as well!

Walking by Zoro I feel my face heating up as I think about how I'd told him the truth. That for the first time in a week-and-half I was able to turn into mist was by thinking about Zoro. I glance over at him, as I do this Zoro looks at me and I look away blushing even more than I already am.

I suddenly feel a chill go down my spine, I feel someone's eyes on me and it's unnerving, it's like when someone was touching Robin.

"What's up?" Zoro asks in a gruff tone. "You got all tense." He says when I turn to face him, my blush creeping back up on my face as I make eye contact.

I shake my head and let out a small sigh. "I just feel like we're being watched," I explain hesitantly. Zoro nods his head as he glances around like I'd been. "This island is really strange." I mutter as I can't quite pinpoint where we're being watched from.

I push my hair over my shoulder, as I do so I feel my elastic band snap. I let out a small frustrated sigh. Pulling my hair down I opt to leave it down.

"Your hair looks nice down." Robin says nicely. As she pushes my now growing bangs out of my face. I smile at her as she does so. "I feel it is watching us." She says seriously. I feel a bit relieved that I'm not the only one who senses a gaze lingering on us.

"What do you think it was that grabbed you?" I ask her hesitantly.

Robin frowns with a disgusted look on her face. "I'm not sure." Is all she says before the look eventually leaves her face.

I look up over at Luffy, who is rather happily riding the weird dog thing. He always seems so sure of himself. When he says he's going to be King of the Pirates, you just believe him. He's done so many things to improve and strengthen his resolve. Not only his own, but also that of his crew. They all have absolute belief in him.

"You're zoning out." Zoro's gruff voice says pulling me from my thoughts. "You need to pay attention to your surroundings."

As he says this I feel a tug on my arm, specifically the one that isn't quite healed yet. I wince in pain, looking to my side I try to figure out what tugged. Stopping to investigate I look at a bush I didn't think was there a moment ago.

By the time I've stood back up the path we'd been walking is gone, like I was suddenly dropped in the middle of a forest. Glancing around I bite my bottom lip nervously. This isn't a normal island. Taking a deep breath I start walking in what I'm hoping is the right direction. Every way I try to look to decide what way is the right way looks the same.

"You really should have been paying better attention." Maki says gently. I let out a big sigh as I trudge forward. It takes a while but I do eventually come to a cemetery.

The skeletons we had to walk on to get up to this level were definitely spookier. Shrugging my shoulders I make my way towards what appears to be the only building on this island. I notice that there did seem to be some kind of fight, but I decide not to stick around to fight out who came out on top. My primary goal is to get back with the others.

The walk is long and quiet, I note that everything is eerily still, and a thick fog is moving in. I hurry along so I can keep track of my destination. As I approach the mansion I find a chill in the air, it is kind of hard to tell, but I think night is actually here. As I approach the mansion the door flies open and I'm suddenly held against the wall, I feel a hand wrap around my throat, slowly I'm pushed up the wall as I struggle to breathe. I try to see who it is that's holding my but whoever it is is completely invisible, just like whatever attacked Robin on the ship. Fighting to stay conscious I try to mist, but it's hard, my mind is trying to process what seems like the impossible. I pry at whatever is wrapped around my throat, I feel a hand, but I'm can't loosen the hold this thing has on me. Just as I'm about to give up I hear a shout, and it isn't just anyone's voice.

"STRAWBERRY!" Zoro shouts angrily, and I'm suddenly falling to the ground. As I fall to the ground I hear footsteps running away. Gasping for air as Zoro runs up to me, putting his hands on my shoulder it falls through. I quickly realize I'm misting again, but this time involuntarily. "Are you ok?" He asks his forehead wrinkled. "We've been looking for you everywhere."

"The trees moved." I manage to get out, Zoro again tires to put his hand on my shoulder, and this time I let him. I lean against him as I still struggle to breathe. "I almost blacked out."

Zoro wraps an arm around me and pulls me a little closer as he helps me up. "You really have to stop disappearing." He says seriously.

I let out a dry laugh. "Trust me, I really want to just to stay close." Coughing as I finally start to breathe evenly. "How did you find me?"

Zoro lets out a big sigh. "Robin said you'd head towards higher ground or somewhere like the mansion so after we passed through the zombie cemetery, we came here. The others were right behind me." As he says this Robin, Sanji, and Luffy join us.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Sanji asks worriedly. "Your neck is really red!" He says as he flutters around me, much to Zoro's annoyance.

I shake my head still trying to grasp the situation I had just been in moments ago. "That same invisible whatever it was that assaulted Robin, attacked me." I say seriously. My throat feels raw, it hurts to breathe, and the only comfort I really have is Zoro holding me up. I find it hard to believe, but when I was first told to trust this stranger, I was picking between what I had thought were two different evils. In reality, I think what I've really chosen is the rest of my life. Zoro has really helped me to become stronger and to have a bit more belief in myself.

"Wait." I say frowning. "Did you just say zombie cemetery?" I ask Zoro seriously.

Zoro lets out a sigh and nods his head. "We ran into an old man after the cemetery on our way here and he kinda explained the zombies to us. We're in a shichibukai's territory."

"That has zombies?" I ask still in disbelief over the impossible.

Robin chuckles. "It seems there are a lot of surprises."

"There are a lot of devil fruits in the world, I guess." I mutter as I stand on my own. Zoro slowly removes his hand from my back.

"Are you alright, can you breath alright?" Zoro asks as he inspects my throat. His hand rough hand gently touching my neck.

I clear my throat, it hurts, but it's bearable. "It isn't the worst pain ever, my shoulder hurt more than more than this." I say honestly.
