Chapter 3 Part 2

Hilde vs Relena

The Funeral, 9:30 am

It is a fitting day for the funeral. Dark clouds engulfs the Sun's warn light bringing a fearless bitter wind. Looks like rain. The only color in what seems the whole world are the pink roses. Relena loved roses, pink was her favorite color. Poor girl, so young. There is an endless sea of people, all are friends. There are no longer any Peacecraft's. Millardo is the last of the blood line. It was a beautiful ceremony. The caskets closed? It is made of solid oak, stained red and on the sides of the casket are carvings of angels, dressed in gold trimming. She was an angelHilde stood at the end of the sea of people, letting each one come and go past her. She stands hands in front and looking down. Next to her is Sally who has not stopped crying since they left the castle. A friend would go to her to give her comfort but Hilde is not the type who comforts anyone. Hilde just stands there looking at the ground. She's up to something… Hilde's head shoots up and turns around looking back and forth like a mad person. ("Who said that…where are you…")

"Sniff…Hilde? Are you ok? Sniff."

"Yes Sally." She says flatly returning to her former state but keeping her eye on the look for anything.

They all go up to the casket and say their good byes. ("Except Millardo.") A few feet away from Hilde is Millardo. She watches him closely now for she notices that he has not moved from his spot since the being of the ceremony. As the people leave when Relena's casket is placed in the ground Millardo turns to leave as well. He never got close to the casket; he never said his good byes. ("Gee, I wonder way.")

The Library, 11:30 pm

Hilde opens the great doors of the library. These doors match Relena's bedrooms in size and in mass. When Hilde enters, she observes that the room is cylinder shaped with it's walls extending three stories high. Illuminating the place with an eerie sliver glow is the moon which has taken the role of the sun. The glass dome capping the room allows this to be, making any other source of light unnecessary. She looks up to the dome and gazes onto the moon. She closes her eyes and listens to the wind play on the glass dome, listening to the wind force the metal frames to shakes violently. Hilde likes this quietness; it was a nice change from what happened earlier. After they returned from Relena's funeral Hilde set out to hunt Millardo down and get some answers. She ran around all day looking for him. But when she searched the garden she decided that it is best to leave it alone for today. It would have been cruel to ask such questions on the day of the funeral. Besides going back to the garden brought something to her mind. She remembered her tools Millardo had given her to replace the rusted ones. When she walked over to the toolbox she was greeted with a rusted box and tools, tools that where not even a day old! Sally told her that the garden was Relena's favorite room. She would spend most of her time there and in the library. Hilde is seeing a pattern. Everything Relena loved or owned was ether rusted or had a dark feeling to it. Like her room for instance, it has a horrible odder and a music box found in the study that was hers is rusted and broken. A music box she was given for her 15^th birthday, she died when she was sixteen. Hilde guessed the library would be no different than the others. She is right. As the wind blows and the frames rock, Hilde sees what looks like amber color snow. Hilde comes to a conclusion…Relena is dead. The "angel" known as Relena is gone and something of a greater force has taken over, leaving everything she loved as dead as her. This force must have really hated her to go as far as to take over her body and destroy the lives of her loved ones. But if you think about it, Relena was everything a dark force would hate. From what Hilde is told by Relena's friends is that she was a harbinger of light, peace and love. ("Was Relena really that strong to make a dark force come from hell to clam her? Or is this only a small part to something greater?")

Creek.

The libraries door opens and Hilde runs to hide herself in the shadows. A small boyish form enters the room and walks over to where some books are placed. One by one the form pulls out a book and drops it to the floor. Hilde walks up to the figure and is ready to ask what they are doing until…

"Quatre! What are you doing?" Hilde sits as Quatre does to reach the bottomed books. She puts her

hands on him only to have them pushed away. Hilde stands and looks down at him.

"What the hell are you doing." Her voice is not harsh yet strong. Nothing comes from Quatre. She moves closer to him.

"Answer me!" she yells letting her voice ring around the room. Nothing still. Hilde's anger is growing. She takes a breath and looks down at the floor before she spoke again. But she never does speak for her eyes land onto his shadow. The shadow and the form do not fit for as where Quatre sits; his shadow looks as if it belonged to a form that is standing with their hands on their hips. Hilde also takes in that the shadow looks like the ones from last night. She now extends her right hand, the divine hand, and a small ball of light is given off. As she grasps the ball of light and it extends outward to form a sword. She grasps the sword with both hands and places it above her and then with a powerful force, she slams the end of the blade into Quatre's shadow.

"AAAAAAAAAA!" Quatre yells as the sword hits the ground. He falls back with is his eyes rolled upwards. The shadow moves away from them and takes shape of a girl.

Relena.

("Yes, her death must be part of something greater.")

A Few Miles Away

Crash! Two covered shadow forms clash to together in a heated battle. Both could match the other in speed, strength and skill. Back and forth they went in the night, fighting what seems to be an endless battle. No matter what one would do the other would recover quickly and match their blow.

("This has to stop! I'm getting no where!")

"Holy Water Engulf This Demon!!!!" Yells Hilde as she jumps back and in mid air she point her sword at Relena. Relena stops her attack to take in what Hilde had just said.

("Holy Water? What is this, some kind of a…") Relena never finished her thought for right out of the very ground she is standing on came a circle of light that shoots up surrounding her. Then the light turned into water and closes in on her.

"AAAAAAAAAA! It BURNS!!!!" Relena covers her face and jumps back away from the burning water.

"Dame you!!!!" Hissed Relena as she cowers on the ground, still covering her face.

"Funny, that a demon would you that as an insult." Disgust is dripping from every word Hilde says. She has heard of these types of demons, the ones that feed off of human suffering. Hilde approaches the demon Relena and raises her sword above her to take Relena's head; the only way to kill a demon for good.

"NOOO!" Screams demon Relena as a blast of power leaves her hands that were covering her burned face. Hilde was not expecting this at all. The blast hit her head on and set her flying.

Crack! Is the sound of her bones as she hits a tree; her body falls limp to the ground. Relena gets up and limped to where Hilde now lays. She looks down at her and taps her foot to Hilde's arm. Nothing. No movement, no sound nothing.

"Damn it all! I did not want you dead yet!" Relena sighs and reaches down to pick Hilde up.

Wham! A very mad Hilde kicks Relena in the jaw. This blow is so strong that it sends Relena back a few feet. She is about to get up when Hilde's foot pushes her back to the ground. Relena looks into the eyes of a very pissed Hilde. Blood is coming from her head and everywhere else. The pain did not matter at the point for Hilde all that does is killing this monster. She puts her sword under Relena's chin poking her skin.

"Give…Up…?" Hilde says in short breaths. The pain is starting to set in. All Relena does is laugh as she descends into the shadow covered ground that she laying on. Hilde does not stop her, all she does is fall to the ground exhausted.

"Hilde, Hilde wake up! Please, don't give up! Your our last hope!"

"Please baby girl, wake up! Your stronger than this!"

"Don't die now! Raven, my little Raven, please get up!"

"Mother? Father…help me…"

"I'm tiring babe. But you keep moving around."

"WHAT??" Hilde sits up despite the sharp pain. She looks into the violet eyes of no other than Duo Maxwell himself. He has on a silly grin as he sits back to looks at her.

"How you feeling?"

"Like shit." She places a hand on her forehead. To her surprise she feels a bandage on her forehead. She stops and looks her self over. All her wounds and broken bones are mended.

"Well, you look like it." He says with a laugh. "What the hell happened to you?"

"Long story…"

"Well, you have time. You're a long way from home, babe." He gets up and moves to a pot that was sitting in the fireplace. He gets a bowl and pours some soup in it for Hilde.

"What do you mean? How far am I?"

"About three miles away. Here eat this." He sits back down with her and smiles. Hilde blushes when he does. She could not help stop the blush from creeping on to her cheeks.

"Thanks." She says in a soft voice. She looks up at him and sees that his shirt is covered in blood.

"Are you hurt?" She says looking up at him with wide eyes. It was Duo's turn to blush a little. She has the cutest eyes, face, and well everything. She is so tiny, like she would break if touched and her pail skin is a nice contrast to her raven colored hair. To him she looks like both life and death. Clearing his throat he answers her.

"Um, no. It's not my blood."

"Oh."

"It's yours."

"OH! Sorry." A silence takes over until Duo speaks.

"So…why are you here? Or better yet, who did this to you?"

"No one." That is the truth for to be "someone" you have to be human.

"Really?" Duo got the point. Don't ask.

"Where you at the funeral?" Hilde says to change the subject.

"No. I have better thing to do. Besides, Millardo has a death wish on me." Duo grins at that comment and puts his arms behind his head.

"How well do you know Relena?"

"Not well enough to say enough. I helped her escape her brother so she can see her "boy" Hero. But that was about it. Why?"

"Just wondering. Would you know if she had any friends who are vampires?" She almost laughed at that. Really now, vampires and humans being friends!

"Yeah, Hero and his friends. Not all vampires are bad. Relena hanged out with some who were trying to fix their lives up, trying to live a normal life. Not all of us wanted to be what we are now."

"Really? How did you become one?" His face became dark and he got up to take off his coat. In doing so Hilde saw something she was not expecting.

"You're a… a priest?"

"No. Iit is a long story. And I'm only half vampire."

"You're a "doll"? Hmmm. Some life. I must say creating dolls is quite cleaver. Making humans feel they are safe by tricking them in thinking you are not a vampire because they meet you during daylight. Then you turn the human over to the real predator. Is that what you did with Relena, turn her over to Hero?" Hilde raises her voice.

"No! Hero did not want to harm her! He..he…just wanted to…I don't know! I just know he would not do that to her! He cared form her! Why, this very moment he is looking for the one who took her life!" Duo yells this as he thinks back to how Hero looked when he heard about Relena's death. Duo saw so much anger, pain and love in Hero's eyes that it hurt Duo. He wants what Hero had with Relena, but he knows he can't and that pains him.

"What? Hero did not bring her over?"

"No he did not."

"Then who? Did the demon take over without help?" She say to herself.

"Demon? What are you talking about?"

"Relena did this to me." She blurts out not thinking. Her mind is elsewhere...

"WHAT?"

"I must get back!" She stands to leave but collapses. Duo rushes over to her to help lighten the fall. He lays her gentle back down and in a soft voice says.

"Hey darling, your in no shape to leave yet. Get some rest. I will take you home tomorrow." His embrace makes Hilde feel warm and safe that she unwilling falls asleep. Duo just holds her and smiles. He forgot that she is the person that is said to be of "hunter" blood. Even if he did remember he would not care. It has been very long since he ever had the chance to hold someone as beautiful as her. So very long.

Hilde awoke to find Duo beside her with his arms protectively around her. She moves to get up but his grip tightens. She almost cries in pain. Her body has yet to heal from her encounter with Relena and she thinks she may have a broken rib "AAAA!" make that two broken ribs.

"Duo…let go!"

"What? OH! Sorry. Must have fallen asleep. Sorry about that babe." He sits up and yawns. Hilde gets up and walks to the door. ("Dame it! I fell asleep!) She opens the front door and says...

"Good bye Duo…uh. Thanks." She says "Thanks" in a soft voice and turns to leave.

"HEY!" He runs to her and slams the door shut so she could not leave. Hilde is taken back by his action and could not help but blush. ("Why do I always blush?") She covers her face so he would not see. Too late...he did. Duo has a smile from ear to ear and leans up against the door with his arms crossed.

"Well, is a thank you all I get?" He leans in closer to say this letting his breath tease her ear. Hilde is not only blushing but is now dumbfounded. She is a lost of words. He has to be the cutest guy she has ever seen…("No! I can't, I must stay focus!") She puts her hands away from her face and turns to face him. However, because Duo was so close, when Hilde turns to face him their lips meet in a short kiss.

"AAAAAAAAAAA!" Both yell at the same time. Hilde has a look of pure horror and Duo almost falls over. Straitening up, Duo's trademark smile returns.

"Well, I've been kissed better. But I don't think you meant that so…." He looks at her with a sly smile and comes closer.

"Maybe we should try again? Huh babe?"

Slam.

Hilde opens the door on Duo's face and walks out, but she could not lose that smile or the blush that tinted her face. Duo rubbed his face and pouts, and then he hears her hit the dirt ground. Duo looks out the door and smiles. Hilde has fallen and is now nursing her leg.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Your leg is broken." He almost laughs at her face. If looks could kill, hers would. She tries again but fails.

"Stop laughing and give me something to help me walk back."

"Nope, no can do lady. You see this is all I have." He extends his arms to show Hilde that he has nothing to give. She lets out a heavy sigh. How is she going home?

"Well, I could carry you back…"

"What do you want?" She says with anger in her voice, daring him to answer. He kneels down beside her and leans in closer. For a moment all he does is breath in her ear, making her skin burn and making the annoying blush creep back. Her breath becomes short as he leans in closer, this time Hilde moves in also. She can hear herself screaming at her, telling her to push him away, but another part of her is teller to kiss this hansom fool!

"I want you to…Bake me a cake!" She is shocked at his request and mad that he played with her like that, but before she could protest he scoops her up in his arms and sets out to take her home...laughing the whole way.

Later.

"HAHAHAHA! And I told him that that was not my foot, that it was his! HAHAHAHA!" Hilde could not help but laugh, not at the joke but because his laugh is contagious. She shakes her head to stop herself and regains her cold stare.

"Aw, come on babe! Lighten up a little. You can be just as efficient hunter with a sense of humor." She looks up at him with a look of shock. All he does is smile at her.

"What? You think I'm dumb or something? Don't look so shocked."

"I think I can make it just fine now Duo. Thank you."

"What? You want down? Ok!" Thud. He drops her on the ground. No longer is she shocked but angry. Duo sits down on a log and just laughs. Hilde tries to get up and support herself with a tree. She loses balance and is about to fall when strong arms wrap them selves around her. She is then picked up by Duo and he continues walking. Hilde does not say anything but blushes. This time she does not hold back her smile. On seeing her smile Duo sighs. ("She is beautiful.") His happy face disappears and a sad one takes over. He thinks back to the last time he felt this way or to when he held someone like her this close. He vowed never to let his heart open up, never to care, and never to love someone ever again after the one he thought loved him turned on him. He is a victim of his own act. A "doll" tricked him, letting him be blind by love. She made him think she loved him and turned him over to the head vampire's mistress who made him join their "family". But, there is something about Hilde. When they kissed, he was not shocked because of it but because he felt something, that is why he stumbled back. He could not explain it but there was something there, a spark that made him feel his old self again. And that spark makes him want more; he looks at her now and all he can think is how nice it would be to take another kiss. As if she knew what he is thinking she looks up at him. Duo stops and the two just stare at each other. He felt himself become lost in her blue eyes and she felt the same way looking into his deep purple eyes. They lean in closer, faces becoming inches away from each other. Soon they are kissing. The kiss is a sweet one, a one Duo has longed for. Hilde closes her eyes and lets this happen. She too felt something between their first kiss and even if will not admit it, she wanted this second kiss as well.

"Hilde!! Hilde!!! Where are you?" says the old butler. Duo becomes angry with the old butler for interrupting their kiss and thinks of ways to make him pay. Hilde forces herself down and stands up to limp back to the house. Duo sighs and follows her, just to make sure she does not fall or anything! She comes out of the forest with Duo behind her. He stays in the shadows so the butler can't see him.

"What do you want?" She leans up against a tree so it looks like she can stand.

"The master wants to see you." He turns to leave but then stops to look at her over her shoulder. She has a smile on her face that screams that she is guilty of something. Shaking his head he turns for the house. The two let out a heave sigh.

"Man, that was close. Duo could you help me in?"

"Sure thing babe." He picks her up a carries her to the greenhouse. Opening the door to the main hall, Duo steps in. He looks around for a place to put her. ("The study looks good.") But before he could walk across the hall he hears Millardo up stairs.

"Shoot! If Millardo sees me he'll have kittens! No...wait he'll kill me because he'll see me holding you!" Hilde could not help but laugh. He was looking around the hall trying to think of something. He stops as he hears Millardo's voice come closer.

"Sorry babe!" He puts her on the floor and hides in the greenhouse.

"DUO!!!" she yells and whispers at the same time. Too late for anything, Millardo is at the top of the stairs.

"Hilde? What are you doing?" He says as he comes down the stairs.

"Uh…mmm…uh. Cleaning the floor! Why?"

"That's not your job you know?" He comes closer to her and sees she has no cleaning tools and also sees she looks like she was in a fight.

"Hilde. How do you think your going to clean the floor without any tools?" His arms are crossed in front of him as he looks down at the young maid.

"Uh, I was not cleaning the whole floor, just this one spot where my shoes made a mark. I don't need to use tools for such a job, my apron will do just nicely." She smiles up at him. He is unmoved by her answer and Duo, who is look from behind the door, slaps his forehead.

"Hilde."

"Yes?"

"You don't have any shoes on." Her face becomes pail and she looks at her feet. He is right; she must of left them at Duo's. Right now Hilde wished she could kick herself for being so stupid.

"Why are you lying to me? And tell me why my library is a wreck and why did I find Quatre laying in there in his pajamas? I have a feeling you are behind this!" His voice rings in her ears. Duo looks at Millardo, hoping he would come closer to her so he would have an excuse to kick his ass. ("Come on man, just try and hit her. Just try so I can do some damage to you pretty boy face!") Duo is about to get his wish as Millardo takes a step closer to Hilde. Duo is ready to jump out and pound Millardo when…

"Hilde!!!" It is Quatre. He comes down the stairs and helps her up. Millardo takes a step back and calms himself. Duo no longer cares about beating Millardo but the boy who now is getting sweet smiles from Hilde. She looks up at Quatre and thanks him for his help. He then walks her up the stairs to Sally's med room.

"Hilde my dear. What happen? Are you all right?"

"Why yes Quatre. Thank you for your concern. I really don't need to see Sally now. I am all banged up!"

"Yes I see and a find job you did. But still we must check you out."

"Hilde." It is Millardo. He still stands by the end of the stairs looking up at them.

"You did not answer him. What happened to you?" Anger still takes over his voice.

"Last night a vampire tried to come in. We had a little battle, and I think I won. Well, because I am still alive." She laughs a little. Millardo just looks at her and Quatre smiles even more.

"Hilde! That is great! Millardo why so angry at her! She saved our lives. I think you should give her the day off." Millardo's face lightens up at that request. He smiles and walks up the stairs to them. Passing them he says...

"Yes, take the day off, in fact take two. No, make that three. And Quatre, why don't you show Hilde the countryside. I think she will enjoy that!" She looks at him with narrow eyes. He is up to something, there is more to his reasoning in letting her have three days off, but what?

"Sounds great! How about it Hilde? Will you like to spend the whole day with me? I would love to have you as my company." He kisses her hand and she smiles bright and takes his offer. Duo still stands behind the greenhouse door, but he saw everything. His blood in boiling and his mind is turning over evil thoughts on to what he is going to do to this boy who now has what he wants; Hilde's smile, sweet laugh and most of all...Hilde herself. Jealously can be an ugly thing.

The Countryside

The countryside of France is beautiful, with fresh green valleys and lush trees; Hilde can't help but stare out the widow of the coach. Sally again let her use one of her old dress for this "date", a word Sally kept using to describe this trip she is taking with Quatre. It is a light blue that matches her eyes. Hilde let her hair down and soft curls framed her face.

"You're very beautiful Miss Hilde." Says Quatre. Hilde smiles at him and is going to say thank you when Quatre jumped.

"AAA!" He rubs his back and looks at the point where he was hit. Quatre looks back at Hilde when seeing that it could not have been anything from the inside but the outside.

"Must have been a rock!" He says.

"Oh."

"Quatre? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it my dear. AAA! Man, this must be a rocky road!" They both laugh a little. "Please ask away!"

"Alright. What were you doing in the library last night?" His face becomes pale and he looks out the window. Hilde can see he did not want to talk about it so she is about to change the subject when he answers.

"Hilde…I know this sounds mad but… I saw her."

"Who?"

"Relena, last night. I was about to go to bed when I saw her at my window. That is all I remember. Next thing I know I am in Sally's med room." There is a slight pause. "Hilde?"

"Yes?"

"Sally…can I trust you? Will you not think of me badly if I tell you what Sally had told me?"

"I would never think badly of you kind sir." She smiles to encourage him to go on. He takes in a breath and continues.

"Sally told me a dark force took over Relena the night she died. She said she could not help her. By the time Millardo had gotten back she was gone. All was left was the demon. Millardo locked her up in the tower and told Sally to never speak of this."

"Why is she tell you now?"

"Because, Relena, no that demon has escaped! Sally fears for all our lives."

"Where did Millardo go off to when Relena was dying?"

"I don't know. Sally never finished. She just cried and asked for forgiveness."

"Oh…" The two just sit in silence. Hilde thinks about what Quatre had just said and makes a mental note to talk with Sally. Quatre moves a bit in his seat and pulls at his collar. Hilde sees that he is uneasy about something. She is about to speak when Quatre clears his throat.

"Uh…Miss Hilde. I was wondering if you have any plans for tomorrow night?"

"No, why?"

"Well, you see I am having this party and was wondering is you would like to be my date."

"Quatre, surely you would want to take someone of higher place. I am a servant."

"Miss Hilde. I don't care. You're a kind person and I enjoy your company. And seeing how you have tomorrow off anyway..."

"Sure. I would love too."

"Great! I will pick you AAAAAA! For the love of…what keeps hitting me?" The two look at the back wall of the coach where Quatre sits. There is now a hole but no rock or anything to show how the hole came about. The two just look at each other in wonder. The coach is made of leather and for something to make a fist size hole and leave no trace of it's self is a mystery. Hilde leans over to look out the window to see if she can see anything. Then something brown catches her eyes and she smiles for behind an unknowing Quatre is a very pissed God of Death.

The Ball

"Duo darling, where have you been?" Say a girl of his age. She is wearing a maroon color dress. Duo, of course is in a black tuxes.

"Cathy, how are you?"

"Fine love. But tell me where you have been!" Cathy, a vampire and one you don't want to cross, wraps her arms around his waist and smiles up at him. He just looks at her.

"What Duo? Are you not happy to see me?"

"No, I am. It's just. How did you get in?"

"Same way you did darling." She smiles as she takes his hand and starts to walk.

"So, what is this I'm hearing about a "hunter" showing up?"

"Old news babe. I was just blowing hot air."

"Really? My brother thinks not. He is right now at the Belmont castle looking for clues."

"Really? Does anyone else know?"

"Just Hero, Trowa and myself. Why?"

"Nothing." The crowd suddenly burst in gasps of awe as Quatre comes into the ballroom. He is wearing a white tuxes and has a smile as pure as gold. However, he is not the reason behind the sudden mummers, it is the young girl that is with him. The girl Duo has been waiting for all night.

"Pretty girl. Wonder where Quatre found her? Duo?" Cathy looks up at Duo and waves a hand in his face but he does not care, what he is looking at is far more important than Cathy now. Hilde is the girl that Duo is looking at; she is in a dark blue dress that fits her like a glove and pools out around her feet. Her hair is tied at her shoulders with a ribbon and she has a million dollar smile. Hilde has always wanted to go to these types of parties, right now she feels like a princess. She looks around the room and sees Sally, Millardo and…Duo. Her heart jumps a beat but she soon pushes it away. ("He is the enemy. The enemy!") Duo leaves Cathy and walks up to Quatre and Hilde. Hilde turns her face away and hopes he passes her. Duo stops and sees her look away. He is hurt by the fact that she does not want to see him. He had given up trying to push what he feels for her away. From the first moment he saw her he knew he had to have her. When he came back from dinner, the night he saw her, could not stop thinking of her. His friends had seen his dream like state and asked what was wrong with him. He came up with the idea that he was thinking about her only because he feels she is from the "hunter" bloodline. Now with what Cathy had said he wishes he never said anything at all. He was trying to save himself and now he has a feeling that he may be right, she may be a hunter after all.

Another thing comes to his mind, the night she stayed at his house. Since the day he had been brought over, Duo's mind has been plagued with nightmares. Some would get to be so bad that he could not sleep at all, but when he had her in his arms he did not suffer from any nightmares. With that in mind Duo is set on getting Hilde and keep her. So with that he comes up to Hilde and asks her to dance.

"Hilde? May I have this dance?"

"Uh…Duo. I…" She blushes and looks at Quatre who is looking at Duo with an uncertain look to him.

"Please say something?" His voice is soft and sore. It has been a long time since he has opened his heart to someone. But looking into her eyes he knew all the pain she would cause him if she would leave him would be worth it. He could not explain it but he knew he loved this girl, and she did not need any powers to make him feel that way. Hilde look at him and saw in his eyes a little light of hope and what's this? Love? Hilde felt her knees become weak as she took his hand and let him lead her to the dance floor. Without any powers of any kind the two were memorized by each other.

Millardo sees the whole thing as well as Quatre, Cathy, Hero and Relena. Relena hides in the shadows and has a smile on her face. If things were any more perfect, she would think this all to be a dream. With a laugh she turns away to heads back so she can set the plans for the "Coming of Shadows".
