*~*
We walked down the sidewalks. The afternoon sun burned down on us as we approached the docks. I was glad when a cool breeze came off the ocean and teased my face. By the looks of it the others were enjoying the brief breeze aswell. Their faces had refreshment listed on them and I felt refreshed aswell.
" Umm somebody please tell me that this place has air conditioning," I moaned as the gentle breeze suddenly left to be replaced by sticky humid air.
" Sorry but they don't," Ray replied with a chuckle.
" What no air conditioning!!," Mariah cried out. Her normally neat pink hair had begun to get frizzy from the humidity. " These fortune tellers better be able to read aura's fast."
" You've never been there before?" I asked as I stumbled on a piece of wet slimey goo that was covering a plank of wood.
" No. They just opened. I've been meaning to go but I never have," She answered while gracefully hopping over the slimey board.
For a moment I wondered If she did that to make me feel like an idiot for slipping.
" I've been there, it's quite strange actually," Ray explained.
" Really with who? A girlfriend?" Mariah sounded a bit worried as she asked if he had a girlfriend.
I realized that Mariah must like Ray. Being a friend I would play matchmaker but i'm not very good in the love department. So being a good friend I decided to stay out of it.
" Of course not," Ray replied, " I went with Lee and Kevin."
" Lee and Kevin?" I asked.
" Their two guys that Ray grew up with. Their best friends and are usually together," Emily kindly explained. I nodded my understanding.
I had once had childhood friends. Back in the city, we would do everything together. If one of us was sick, the others would be sure to visit everyday. When one had a birthday the others would buy them presents and throw a private party. When one got in trouble the others would protest and try and take all the blame.
I smiled to myself as I fondly recalled sweet childhood memories. I missed my friends, there would always be a spot for them in my life but I had new friends and I was sure they would be an important part of my future.
" Earth to Ash!" Mariah cooed.
" Huh? Oh I see we're here," I snapped back to the present.
In front of us stood a huge tent. It was many different colours that didn't quite match each other. Patches of orange pink and purple covered it where ever it had been torn in the past. Despite it's poor condition it looked cheery and happy. I think it was just the brightness of the colours interfering with my brain.
" Let's go," Emily started for the door.
I looked to Mariah and Ray, they both nodded and we proceeded to follow when someone came running towards us.
" Ray! Mariah! How have you been?" A boy who was a bit shorter than I was greeted.
He had bright green hair which he kept tucked under a hat. He was about our age and obviously a boy, but at first glance you could certainly mistake him for a girl.
" Oliver how have you been?" Ray happily asked him.
" Oh you know pretty good. How has your summer been so far?" Oliver asked.
" Usual, work, hanging with the gang and thinking up new ways to get to Kai and Tala," he chuckled," Where's the Enrique?" Ray winked at Oliver who blushed.
" He's back there with Robert and Johnny," he gestured over his shoulder.
" Ah I see. Shame Robert and Johnny had to be with you guys eh?" Ray smiled teasingly at the now very flushed Oliver.
I nudged Mariah and gave her a puzzled look. She kindly explained.
" Oliver's umm well gay and he likes Enrique," she whispered.
" And Enrique is straight," I asked.
" No Enrique is gay and he likes Olvier. They just havn't admitted it to each other yet," she clarified.
Just then another boy with blonde hair and blue eyes walked up. By the way Oliver practically worshiped him I could guess that he was Enrique. He wasn't too bad looking either.
" Hey Ray, Mariah," Enrique nodded his greeting, " And who's this?"
He examined me smiling.
" I'm Ash, I just moved here yesterday," I introduced myself as two more boys appeared.
One had purple hair and an air about him like he was a strong noble knight. The other had dark red hair which stuck up behind the bandanna he kept tied around his head. He seemed a bit unfriendly.
" Pleased to meet you Ash, i'm Robert," Robert introduced himself politely.
" I'm Johnny," Johnney introduced a bit hostilely.
" Are you guys coming in or what?" Emily's orange haired head appeared from around the tent flap.
" Yeah let's go," Mariah dashed into the tent, closely followed by the rest of us.
Inside the tent was dimly lit. Many women in robes sat around tables with many strange instruments on them. In the corner an old cd player played soothing celtic music. There were lit candles everywhere and insences offered relaxing smells.
" Ah Ray, Driger seems to enjoy your aura," An old women peered at him from under a hood.
" Thank you Madam Celeste," Ray bowed his head.
" Driger?" Mariah asked.
" The spirit I was given. It stands for loyalty and wisdom," he explained, producing a piece of silver from his pocket that was in the shape of a tiger.
" Cool," Oliver whispered.
" Are all you children here be assigned a spirit? It's free," Madame Celeste offered.
I looked to the others. They shrugged.
" Why not I mean it gives us something to do and it's free," Enrique said as he walked up to one of the women.
I shrugged and nodded as the others walked over to the remaining fortune tellers.
" I'll read your aura," Celeste offered though it sounded more like a command.
" Umm sure," I followed her over to a pile of cushions.
She motioned for me to sit on a ruby red cushion in front of her. I did what she motioned for and Ray sat beside me on a blue cushion.
" Ash I see that two tragedy's have befallen your family not too long ago," Celeste began.
" Yes my brother passed away in an accident and my grandfather not long after," I explained a little pained as I wondered how she could have known.
Celeste nodded. She produced a small piece of crystal. It was in the shape of a diamond and and gold on it's edges. She held it in her right hand and with her left she began to wave in the air infront of me. She closed her eyes and began to hum a strange sone.
I looked to Ray for reassurance, he smiled and returned to watching Madame Celeste intently. I turned my gaze back to her. She continued waving with her left hand and wherever it went her right hand with the crystal went, mimicing it's everymove.
I suddenly felt like it was getting hot, I felt like I was sweating but when I raised my hand and wiped my forehead nothing was there. I shook my head trying to get rid of the feeling but it stuck. Then a voice spoke, it was Celeste but it came from all sides. It surrounded me muttering something in a foreign language before translating into english.
" Hom no ke wa, I see danger in the future. Ce nae lai foo, Beware the accident. Sae wae ra kinos, Look to the most unlikely for help. Raw soo he nae, Believe in the powers within. Se racckos poowz, You must unleash. Poowz heak turez, Unleash the darkness!" she shouted.
Everything went white. I fell to the ground it felt colder than January now. I felt something hot in my hands and I opened them to reveal a tiny ball of light. It was red but radiated blue and it pulsed as if it had a heart. More bright light reached my eyes in the same red and blue colours. I looked up to see a strange symbol floating infront of me.
It was made up of curves and sharp edges. Looking closely you could make out an image of a dragons head. Then half of it disappeared to be replaced by another symbol. Saggitarius. The arrow that represented the archer Saggitarius was unmistakable, my zodiac symbol.
The ball of light grew hotter and hotter. I looked down, this was so wierd, i'd never experienced anything like this before.
" What's going on in here!" I shouted out in vain. Nobody was here, nobody would hear me.
Then a thought popped into my head. Darkness, Celeste's voice said unleash the darkness. I looked to the ball for answers but I knew light couldn't answer.
" Angaia."
What the!?! This was wierd, if I wasn't mistaken a ball of red light just said Angaia. Whatever that was.
" Unleash Angaia."
There it spoke again. Now I knew I wasn't imagining this though I wished I was. I took a deep breath. If unleashing this Angaia was teh only way to free myself from this strange place then I would do it.
" Angaia," I said. Nothing happened.
" Angaia come out!" I shouted. Again nothing.
I was growing frustrated. Punched the ball but my hand went right through.
" Damn," I muttered.
I took a deep breath and tried again.
" Angaia!"
Everything around me grew dark. My voice echoed around me.
" Angaia, Angaia, Angaia."
It was growing quite annoying. The ball of light had now grown so hot that I nearly dropped it. It pulsed harder then seemed to explode. A stream of blue light came out of it and went into the symbols of the dragon and saggitarius.
I watched in awe and the symbols and the ball circled around eachother, growing brighter and spinning faster as the completed more and more revolutions. Then they blew up. Streaks of light fell from above and nearly touched the ground when the changed direction, smashing into eachother.
When it was done a huge looming figure stood looking down at me. I looked it up and down.
It looked like a dragon but it had human features like a shorter neck and many muscles in it's chest. It stood in a crouching position, it's glowing red eyes studying me. It was covered in shiney black scales, some were silver and formed curving lines on its body. It had a long tail like that of a dragon, complete with the tip like the devil's tail. Huge black wings were folded neatly behingd it's back which had spikes sticking out along it's spine. Two large horns stuck out from above it's ears which were like that of a horses only they were pierced with a single gold hoop.
It was wearing a mask that covered it's face. There was a hinge on it so that the creature could move it's mouth. Black hair stuck out in all directions from it's head, the tips of it were bloody red. Armor covered it's hands and feet and the upper portion of it's chest. Overall it looked powerful and menacing.
I was still gazing at it when it turned into red light and flew straight into my chest, disappearing entirely.
" You have the aura of bravery and stealth," I could hear Celeste's voice.
I opened my eyes to find myself back in the tent seated beside Ray, as if nothing ever happened.
" This spirit is intense and I've never found the right keeper for it," she produced a piece of silver.
It was in the shape of the thing I had seen.
" Your spirit is," but I cut her off as I spoke it's name.
" Angaia......" I reached out a hand and she gently placed Angaia in it.
" Very good child. Angaia is within."
The sun was setting bringing with it a drop in the hot temperatures. We were walking along the street that my house was located on. It seemed that everyone needed to go this way to get home so we all walked together.
On the way home the others were buisy talking about their spirits.
" Dragon, Amphiliyon. It stands for Ancient power," I heard enrique explain.
" Leopard, Galux. She stands for speed and power."
" Trygator the alligator. I was told it means knowledge and skill."
" Unicoliyon the unicorn stands for appreciation and ancient art."
" I have Gryffoliyon the gryffon who stands for Ancient nobility and power."
" I have Salamolyon the salamander which is Strength and Ancient skill."
I looked down at my spirit, Angaia. Had everything been a dream, had I really seen Angaia? I was lost in my own world until Mariah's cheery voice brought me back again.
" What did you get Ash?"
I turned around to face them . I had hung Angaia on a chain around my neck and I took held it up. It dangled, shining in the last bit's of light.
" Angaia the demon, Intensity, bravery, stealth and above all superpower," I said proudly.
We walked the rest of the way chattering about the events of the day. Everyone laughed as I proudly retold the events between me and Hillary. I felt like that first day was over all too soon. I wanted it to last forever. We soon arrived at the gates to my mansion.
" See ya Ash, i'll call on you tomorrow!" Mariah shouted back as they walked down the street to their respective houses.
I walked through the doors slipping off my sneakers and placing them in the hall closet. I found my mom in the living room sipping her evening coffee.
" Hey mom," I greeted as I slumped into a cushy chair.
" Hello Ashley. Did you have a good day?" she asked kindly as she finished off the last of her coffee.
She was about to pour herself another cup when she remembered that the milk carton was empty.
" Would you be a dear and find Geoffry to tell him that we need more milk," she asked.
" Don't worry i'll go get it," I got up and streached.
" Are you sure?"
" Huh? Yeah it's nice out," I replied as I walked back into the front hall.
I slid on my sneakers and quietly closed the door behind me.
*~*
Ok the end. Just kidding my imagination is on overload right now so I have to keep writing!
*~*
I was walking home from the store a bag of milk in hand. I had taken this time to explore a bit and had gotten lost. I was currently walking down a dark deserted street in the downtown area.
I cautiously looked over my shoulder. They were still there. Ever since I had left the convienience store these creeps in a black sports car had been following me. I had turned down some alleys to try and loose them and found much to my dismay that I was now lost and they were still there.
I had tried to shake them and just thought to myself that it was a mere coincidence that they were going the same way I was. But nothing could explain how slow they were driving. They were careful to keep at least 100 metres between me and the car.
I was growing panicky now. I had tried to keep my cool but now I was getting freaked out. I quickened my pace and they sped up. They kept getting closer and I could hear the faint sound of the window being rolled down.
I heard a clicking but I didn't know what it was. "BANG!" I had found out. A pistol, these people were trying to kill me. I panicked and ran as fast as I could looking for an escape. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest like it wanted out. I'm sure if I had listened any harder I would have been able to hear the blood flowing through my vains.
I blocked everything else out. All I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the bang as they fired the pistol over and over again. I found myself clutching my chain with Angaia on it for support. I turned down a narrow alley hoping they would just drive past but no luck.
The headlights on the car flicked off and I could hear the tires as they crackled over the gravel covered cement.
" We're gonna get you Ash," a voice taunted.
I didn't dare look back or slow down. This was my life on the line.
" Come back and we'll kill you fast," a voice demanded.
I reckonized that voice. I tried to picture a face but I couldn't.
"BANG!" They were shooting again. I cried out as a bullet whizzed past my ear, they were getting more and more accurate with each shot.
" Give it up Ash your about to die."
I knew it was true. There was no escaping it. I could faintly make out a tall brick wall, I was trapped. I heard them fire another shot. This was it I was dead.
I felt strong muscular arms wrap themselves around me as a hard warm body pressed against my back. I remember my feet leave the ground as whoever that is picked me off the ground and dived into a door leading into a building.
I was about to say something when a hand clamps itself around my mouth. We're obviously in a small room because I can feel the heat coming off of the other body. Outside I can hear the car as it goes into reverse. The men in the car are cursing.
" Damn we should have had her."
" She must be in that building," another voice suggests.
" Let's check it out," a third one commands.
I'm suddenly pushed to the ground. I land on my back quite painfully. I glare up at whoever pushed me even though I know they can't see it in the darkness. Suddenly they are laying on top of me.
" Argh, what are you doing?" I struggle under the persons weight.
" Pretend," his gruff voice reaches my ears.
I was about to say something when I feel a mouth crushing my own. I struggle to speak but that only allows this guys tongue to slip into my mouth exploring it fiercly. When he breaks away I gasp for air.
" Wh....what are.... you doing," I manage between gasps.
" Pretend to be my girlfriend, now kiss me if you want to live," his cold voice commands.
I have no clue what is going on but I decide to pursue that later. First things first, time to save my life.
" Just be a bit more gentle please," I beg as he leans down and reclaims my mouth.
This time he is extremely gentle, taking care not to hurt my poor mouth. His tongue rubs mine affectionatly than moves onto explore the rest of my mouth. He rubs his tongue against the roof of my mouth and I can't help the moan that escapes me.
I've never felt quite like this before. I've kissed guys but they were never like this. My small moan seems to set him off because he moans into my mouth aswell. I hear the door creak open and my saviour moves his arm so that my face is covered.
" Nothing here but a couple of kids making out," I hear a voice say as they quickly shut the door.
We brake off the kiss and his lips linger on mine before he reluctantly pulls away. I hear him open the door and he looks out making sure the cost is clear.
" Come," He gestures for me to follow.
" Why did you do that?" I ask.
" Because I was in the right place at the right time. I owed you anyways from before," his voice is cold and his step is rigid.
" Thanks," I say so quietly it's almost a whisper.
" Hn," is all I get.
Suddenly I turn from sentimental to angry as I remember what happened.
" Next time you feel like saving my life find a way to do it without kissing me," I glare at his back.
I hear a small laugh, " You liked it though."
I would have said no but I remembered that I had given off a sign that I did like it.
" Maybe," I said.
" Not maybe, definitly. That moan small as it was prooved it," he turns a bit.
" You liked it too, your moan was alot louder than mine," I retaliated.
" What do you expect. I'm a guy after all. A girl beneath me moaning as I kiss her, the smell of her pear shampoo. It would set any guy off," he replies calmly.
" I don't care, no kissing. I barely even know you and you weren't exactly friendly towards me before," I turn the corner.
" Go that way it'll take you back to the main road," he points.
" Ok," I watch him turn and walk off in the other direction.
" Kai?"
" Hn?"
" Thanks."
" No problem."
*~*
Ok that's it! Wow i'm so glad I got that all down. I hope it turns out good enough for you! Please review, I love reviews! I'm also wondering what pairings I should have. If you have any ideas tell me. I'm also considering adding more OC's.
Oh and I almost forgot... To darkgoddess2 I love Escaflowne fics, I'll be sure to check out yours as soon as possible. Thanks for that review! ;)

Ok the end. Just kidding my imagination is on overload right now so I have to keep writing!

I was walking home from the store a bag of milk in hand. I had taken this time to explore a bit and had gotten lost. I was currently walking down a dark deserted street in the downtown area.
I cautiously looked over my shoulder. They were still there. Ever since I had left the convienience store these creeps in a black sports car had been following me. I had turned down some alleys to try and loose them and found much to my dismay that I was now lost and they were still there.
I had tried to shake them and just thought to myself that it was a mere coincidence that they were going the same way I was. But nothing could explain how slow they were driving. They were careful to keep at least 100 metres between me and the car.
I was growing panicky now. I had tried to keep my cool but now I was getting freaked out. I quickened my pace and they sped up. They kept getting closer and I could hear the faint sound of the window being rolled down.
I heard a clicking but I didn't know what it was. "BANG!" I had found out. A pistol, these people were trying to kill me. I panicked and ran as fast as I could looking for an escape. I could hear my heart pounding in my chest like it wanted out. I'm sure if I had listened any harder I would have been able to hear the blood flowing through my vains.
I blocked everything else out. All I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the bang as they fired the pistol over and over again. I found myself clutching my chain with Angaia on it for support. I turned down a narrow alley hoping they would just drive past but no luck.
The headlights on the car flicked off and I could hear the tires as they crackled over the gravel covered cement.
" We're gonna get you Ash," a voice taunted.
I didn't dare look back or slow down. This was my life on the line.
" Come back and we'll kill you fast," a voice demanded.
I reckonized that voice. I tried to picture a face but I couldn't.
"BANG!" They were shooting again. I cried out as a bullet whizzed past my ear, they were getting more and more accurate with each shot.
" Give it up Ash your about to die."
I knew it was true. There was no escaping it. I could faintly make out a tall brick wall, I was trapped. I heard them fire another shot. This was it I was dead.
I felt strong muscular arms wrap themselves around me as a hard warm body pressed against my back. I remember my feet leave the ground as whoever that is picked me off the ground and dived into a door leading into a building.
I was about to say something when a hand clamps itself around my mouth. We're obviously in a small room because I can feel the heat coming off of the other body. Outside I can hear the car as it goes into reverse. The men in the car are cursing.
" Damn we should have had her."
" She must be in that building," another voice suggests.
" Let's check it out," a third one commands.
I'm suddenly pushed to the ground. I land on my back quite painfully. I glare up at whoever pushed me even though I know they can't see it in the darkness. Suddenly they are laying on top of me.
" Argh, what are you doing?" I struggle under the persons weight.
" Pretend," his gruff voice reaches my ears.
I was about to say something when I feel a mouth crushing my own. I struggle to speak but that only allows this guys tongue to slip into my mouth exploring it fiercly. When he breaks away I gasp for air.
" Wh....what are.... you doing," I manage between gasps.
" Pretend to be my girlfriend, now kiss me if you want to live," his cold voice commands.
I have no clue what is going on but I decide to pursue that later. First things first, time to save my life.
" Just be a bit more gentle please," I beg as he leans down and reclaims my mouth.
This time he is extremely gentle, taking care not to hurt my poor mouth. His tongue rubs mine affectionatly than moves onto explore the rest of my mouth. He rubs his tongue against the roof of my mouth and I can't help the moan that escapes me.
I've never felt quite like this before. I've kissed guys but they were never like this. My small moan seems to set him off because he moans into my mouth aswell. I hear the door creak open and my saviour moves his arm so that my face is covered.
" Nothing here but a couple of kids making out," I hear a voice say as they quickly shut the door.
We brake off the kiss and his lips linger on mine before he reluctantly pulls away. I hear him open the door and he looks out making sure the cost is clear.
" Come," He gestures for me to follow.
" Why did you do that?" I ask.
" Because I was in the right place at the right time. I owed you anyways from before," his voice is cold and his step is rigid.
" Thanks," I say so quietly it's almost a whisper.
" Hn," is all I get.
Suddenly I turn from sentimental to angry as I remember what happened.
" Next time you feel like saving my life find a way to do it without kissing me," I glare at his back.
I hear a small laugh, " You liked it though."
I would have said no but I remembered that I had given off a sign that I did like it.
" Maybe," I said.
" Not maybe, definitly. That moan small as it was prooved it," he turns a bit.
" You liked it too, your moan was alot louder than mine," I retaliated.
" What do you expect. I'm a guy after all. A girl beneath me moaning as I kiss her, the smell of her pear shampoo. It would set any guy off," he replies calmly.
" I don't care, no kissing. I barely even know you and you weren't exactly friendly towards me before," I turn the corner.
" Go that way it'll take you back to the main road," he points.
" Ok," I watch him turn and walk off in the other direction.
" Kai?"
" Hn?"
" Thanks."
" No problem."
