Chapter Eleven
As suggested both girls met in the park at six in the morning, the sunset starting to peek over the midnight colored winter skies. The pale pinks, oranges and pale blue, with small fluffy white clouds on the outer edges facing them. Jessica was the first one there, she was wearing a pair of black running shorts Ashley had given her just before she dissappeared, along with a white T-shirt, white ankle socks and white shoes. Her slick black hair was pulled into a high ponytail. A large black duffel bag was packed to the maximum with everything possible.
Mary however arrive a tad bit late, she had to run to Mystical Doorway, a witch and wizardry shop that was nestled in between a Christian gift shop and a barbershop. It was very fitting, she had to get Ashley's book of shadows Mary had ordered for Christmas. It was almost that time and Mary was hoping she'd be able to see her freind by then. She was dressed in a pair of black short shorts with a scarlet colored spaghetti strap tank top that complimented her pure scarlet colored hair. Her golden orangish eyes fixed themselves skywards as she sighed. black ankle socks went on her feet as well as black nike tennis shoes with dark crimson swoosh. Her just above the waist length dark scarlet colored hair was put into a french braid that came to mid-back with her hreat-shaped bangs falling into her eyes. Her black duffel bag was also stuffed to it's maximum.
"Ok..let's do this." Jessica said happy beyond it's original extent. Mary smirked and nodded her head, and with that both girls got ready to prepare the spell.
Ashley groaned as she rolled out of her bed, grabbing her watch off the night stand next to her bed she looked at it and blinked. It was eleven which meant that she missed breakfast and lunch would be in half an hour of so. Sighing to herself she rubbed her sleep filled eyes and leaned against the bed. Opening her eyes she blinked when she saw a pool of something that looked like dried blood on her bed spread. Blinking the blurriness from her eyes once again she frowned as she leaned foreward and studied the mark on her bed. Blinking, and standing up straight, then looking at the back of her pants, she blinked as she saw a larger dark red mark on the back of her pants. Her sleep filled mind still didn't register anything until her violet eyes turned wide.
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!" Ashley screamed and ran out of her room, standing in the middle of the hallway she was greeted by the dragonslayers all running out of the training room.
"What's wrong?!?" Chesta asked Ashley blinking. But she wasn't listening, she was hysterical her violet eyes still wide, her hair in dissarray.
"OhmyfuckinggodI'mgonnadie!!" She cried out as she just shook and started babble incoherently.
"What..." Ryou asked puzzled, she didn't even stop crying or babbling she was just going on and on and on. Until Dilandau had enough of her constant aimless shreiks. Walking slowly up to her he grabbed her by both of her upper arms, and stopped her, staring into her dark violet eyes he held her gaze.
" Ok, now explain what this is all about." Dilandau said in a low voice, Ashley blinked and nodded, Dilandau let her go.
"Ok...I'm going to die." was he calm and blunt reply.
"WHAT??!" The dragonslayers all yelled n'sync with each other. Ashley blinked and started to cry again.
"I'm bleeding!! I'm gonna die!! I'm gonna die a virgin!! I'm gonna die without getting married!! I'm gonna die without having kids!! I'm gonna die A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD VIRGIN!!" Ashley screamed breathing heavily, streams of salty crystalline tears pouring down her face as she whimpered at the thought.
"Where are you bleeding?" Migel asked his pale blonde eyebrows furrowed together tightly.
"Here!!" Ashley cried through sobs while pointing at her crotch with both of her fore fingers. Chesta blinked, Guimel rubbed his temples, Dilandau's eyes were slightly wide, Ryou was frowning, Migel was pinching his bleeding nose, Dalet was rubbing the back of his neck.
"Um..er..." Chesta started.
"What's going on here." Folken asked blinking behind Ashley. Ashley turned around and hugged her brother burying her head in his stomach. ((hey..she's four-eleven...you can't expect her to reach his chest when he's like six something))
"I'm going to bleed to death!!" Ashley wailed while crying into his chest. He blinked and stroked her hair softly. " I...I....I WISH MY FREINDS WERE HERE!!" Ashley screamed, immediatly a blinding flash of light engulfed and area in between the dragon slayers and the two siblings.
"Hm, circle of white salt. ok, now that we're standing in the middle of the circle what do we do?" Jessica asked Mary who was reading in the book.
"It says we should feel for the pull on Ashley's magical energy and connect ours with it."Mary said bitting her bottom lip.
"Alright, concentrate on Ashley." Mary whispered.
Both girls closed their eyes in concentration, after a few minutes Mary heard Jessica gasp as a warm feeling washed over them. Sheopened her eyes only to close them again as the white light engulfing them blinded her. She felt herself being lifted into the air, then as fast as the light had taken them it deposited them somewhere. With their legs on the surface of something hard, they slowly registered a new gasp.
" Oh my god..." Came the whisper. Mary and Jessica opened their eyes and came face to face with Ashley.Tears were streaking down her face, walking slowly to her she hugged her taller freind tightly. Then moving on the Mary and Jessica she cried into their shoulders as they did her.
Mary looked around her and blinked, catching sight of Folken she blinked then sized him up, narrowing her eyes a bit she blinked again. Jessica noticed the other six guys around them and blinked.
"Ashley where the hell have you been?!?" Mary finally cried out, happy tears streaming down her face.
"Um...does Gaea count?" Ashley said then blinked.
" Um, Ashley...who are they?" Chesta asked Ashley blinked.
Ashley blinked and looked at everyone, then she looked at her pants, this continued for a minute or so before Ashley sighed.
"Ok, there is a need for introductions..after we find out why I'm bleeding." Ashley said firmly. Jessica rose an eyebrow and looked Ashley up and down before her gaze lingered on the back of Ashley's pants.
"Where exactly are you bleeding?" Mary asked her eyebrows in her hairline, her face contorted into worry.
"Here." Ashley replied totally ignoring the guys around her while pointing at her crotch again. Both girls erupted into laughter, while the guys and Ashley blinked in confusion.
"Ashley..geez..even you should know why." Jessica said the laughter still evident in her emerald green hues.
"Huh?"
"Oi, lets go to your room...we'll have a little girl to girl talk in there." Mary said, Ashley blinked but led them to the wide open door. Once everyone was inside ((all the girls)) she closed the door leaving the confused boys outside.
"Well....lets get back to training." Dilandau said. Her was after all just as confused as they were. Everyone nodded and soon six dragonslayers and one wizard went their seperate ways.
"Ok, Ashley before you left for this...place...did your mom ever explain to you about a womans stuff?" Jessica asked. She knew Ashley went to Sex ed. class in seventh grade, but they hadn't gone over a womans other stuff.
"What other stuff? You mean there's more?!?" Ashley cried out. Mary laughed and handed Ashley some clothes she got from the closet, along with a small square wrapped in pale yellow stretchy plastic.
" Ok, now, every month or so a woman starts to bleed down there. This signifies the fact that your body is flushing the inside walls of your uterus out." Jessica started as Mary showed Ashley how to put the pad on her underwear.
"Why?" was the small reply.
"Because, every end of the month the walls get old and need to be replaced. Before this can happen your body needs to get rid of the old in order to bring in the new." Jessica answered this question as she looked up from a magazine.
" It also signifies the fact that our body thinks it's ready to have babies. The egg inside your uterus also gets old and gets flushed out. The bleeding isn't fatal it's just what is inside your body." Mary said. Ashley blinked then nodded, silently she took the underwear and clothes and went behind her changing screen.
"So, what's happening is called your period. It's natural and you're not going to die from it." Jessica said happy they could do something.
Ashley came out from behind it a minute later smiling, she was dressed in a pair of dark navy blue bell bottom sweatpants. The ones she had cut the sides on so they covered her shoes. White ankles socks peeks out from under her pants, with pale grey shorts peeking out over the top of the sweatpants. A tight white tank top went over her top part of her body with a dark navy blue satin bra underneath clearly showing it off to the world. Her hair was put into high pigtails on either side of her hair with dark blue satin ribbons tied into bows around them to hold them in place.
"It is so good to see you guys!!!" Ashley exclaimed and watched her freinds look around her room.
It had been a half an hour later which meant it was lunch time, all four girls were wearing the same exact thing only their hair was all different. Walking into the mess hall turned a lot of heads that day. Not many people were expecting more crazy girls to run around the Vione. Ashley ignored the gawking stares her group was receiving and they all got some food. Sitting with the other dragonslayers and her four best freinds on Earth.
"So, you're not going to die?" Chesta asked seriously. Ashley had told them the good news but Chesta was still worried.
" No, I'm not going to die." Ashley said and smiled at him reassuringly. Chesta bit his bottom lip but nodded anyways. "Anyways, guys these are my freinds Mary and Jessica. Guys, these are my other freinds. Dilandau, Guimel, Ryou, Dalet, Viole, Migel and Gatti." Everyone said 'hi' to each other and conversation struck up. Tales of everything that had happened began to spark and the other three girls were left blinking.
"Hm, I see that my little sister is happy again." Folken said smiling behind Ashley.
"Little sister?" Mary asked blinking.
"Yeah, come to find out I was born here, and a princess can you beleive it...plus I was sent to live with some lady as my guardian who was Anita. My real name is Kurai Murasaki de Fanel..but I still go by Ashley. It's just way to confusing." Ashley said casually. Blinking Mary shook her head and continued to eat casting glances at Ashley's older brother whom was now sitting in front of her.
Ashley looked around the full table and sighed, she was content with this much, everyone was happy. Except she couldn't help but think about her other brother Van, and that Hitomi character. Though Allen was still wary of her he should have been more wary about Hitomi. Scrunching her nose up she smiled and shook her head at the tasteless joke Dalet had told.
' Hm, it's like heaven...though with the four of us together again...it'll be like hell on Earth.' Laughing to herself she stopped before someone would notice and began to eat.
'Yep, this would definately be a fun time.' She said to herself and watched everyone with her dancing dark violet eyes.
It had been two weeeks since Ashley had been safely reunited with her freinds, and already they were causing havoc. Ashley long since got over her period, it only lasted three days, much to Ashley's happiness. She hated the thought of bleeding like that. The three girls were still asleep in their respective rooms, Ashley was walking down the long hallway, it was snowing lightly on Gaea's beautiful landscape. They were in a part of Gaea where the evergreens were pure pine colored and beautiful with the freshly fallen snow covering the branches lightly. She was dressed in a pair of tight dark blue denim jeans that rode low on her hips. She was wearing thick socks with her whit tennis shoes with dark violet trimming. A dark violet longsleeved, yet tight top covered her body with the sleeves pushed up just past her elbows. Her long hair was kept in a long french braid to mid-calf. Her small body made it's way towards the mess hall for some breakfast.
Two days till Christmas, true no one on Gaea knew what Christmas was but Ashley made sure she told them about it. So, currently everyone on the Vione was trying to find something at the markets they figured the people they got for secret santa would like. Ashley unfortunately got Dilandau. She really didn't know what to get him, he was so hard and distant from everyone. She thought about knives, but with him already being insane she figured she liked living. She contemplated cologne of some sort, but he might take it the wrong way. She figured clothes but what if he thought she was making fun of his wardrobe. Furrowing her eyebrows together she sighed, she never worried what people thought of her presents before, why now?
She had to admit she loved Dilandau but he was complicated maybe that's what drew her to him. Odd, yes, she's had these problems in the past, with her dad, or whom she thought was her dad. He was very distant from her and her 'mother' although she still loved him. He was a very hard man to please, hopefully it wouldn't be like that with Dilandau.
" Maybe I should have a talk with Mary..she's insane as it is...maybe she can help me with a present. Hey...I wonder who she got." Ashley shrugged and walked into the mess hall to see it only littered with a few people. ' Must be out Christmas shopping.' She chuckled and grabbed a dark blue tray and started to pile it with food.
"Hey Ashley!!" Gatti said beside her, he was smiling which made him look sweet, but a little too sweet in her opinion.
"Hey Gatti...what's up?"
"Nothing really, just wondering if you'd like to go Christmas shopping with me today, I'm taking the other two girls with the rest of the gang."
"Oh, sure I'd love to go...geez are you all in trouble." Ashley laughed.
"Why's that?" He asked confused.
"Think about it, three teenage girls going christmas shopping, we'll be in the freezing cold for hours." Ashley laughed as the color drained from his face.
"Actually, I think I have some guymelefs to polish.."
"You did that yesterday." Ashley pointed out.
"Yeah...but I think I might have dumped dust on one." Raising one eyebrow Ashley blinked and smirked.
"How ever in the world did you manage that all the way up here?"
"Chinese secret." Jessica said peering around him at Ashley.
"Aww...so cute." Ashley mock sneered and piled more food onto her plate with the two right behind her.
"Mary!! Lets go, I wanna go shopping!!" Ashley whined while banging on the wooden door to Mary's chambers.
Ashley was dressed in a pair tight fitting black pantyloons, with just above the knees length black leather boots with a four inch sole. Her shirt was a long sleeved pale lavender button up loose business shirt. The winter coat she wore was tawny colored leather with cream colored fur on the inside, and on the rolled up cuff and collars as well as the hood. Tawny colored dragon gloves adorned her small hands for a warm fit. Her hair was left down to pool around her as she again banged on the door.
"Geez, maybe we should leave her." Jessica said boredly. She was dressed in a pair of loose black pantyloons with knee length black leather boots and a tight longsleeved pale mint green colored shirt with two stitches of ribbons at the top. Her hair was kept up in a ponytail exposing her creamy neck. Her winter coat she wore was a brown colored leather jacket with cream colored fur on the inside.
"No, the three musketeers always stick together." Ashley scrunched her nose upa nd banged on the door while glaring at Jessica. In the mean time while knocking Mary had opened the door and got pelted in the cheek with Ashley's hand.
"Woman!!" Mary bellowed, Ashley blinked and looked at Mary stopping in mid-knock. Looking at Mary holding her right cheek and her mid-knocked hand she hid it behind her back and smiled sheepishly.
"Um..sorry?" She said meekly looking up at her orangish golden eyed freind.
"Sure, whatever." Mary said and walked past Ashley. She was dressed in an ankle length skirt with a slit to six inches above the knee, knee length boots laced up with a four inch sole. Her shirt was a tight three quarter length shirt. A black leather jacket kept her warmer, her long scarlet hair fell down curling.
"Geez, bout damn time." Dilandau snorted. Ashley glared and elbowed him in the gut. He doubled over in mock pain flashing her an evil smile, that only she could see through as a genuine smile from the heart and not from hell.
"Yes, now can we go. I think my legs went numb from standing." Viole joked, Ashley rolled her eyes and began to walk away from the group her right arm wrapped around Dilandau's left arm as he escorted her out of the Vione for some Christmas shopping.
Note: Yes, I know I skipped the seasons around, but it's my story my rules..so nah..lol..sorry okie..bai!!
