A/N: Me: Hey! Everyone! Meet the main character of the story, A.J!

A.J: Hey ya'll!

Me: Okay, stop talking, A.J! I am the author!

A.J: Hey! Don't make me use my ARM on you!

Me: You wouldn't do tha- AHHHH!

A.J: -Starts cackling evilly- I am now the author! Mwuhahahaha!

Me: -is hitting the guardian ARM with a baseball bat- NAW AW! I am still the author!

A.J: No way! -calls the guardian back-

Me: You don't even know what to write about!

A.J: ... So...

Me: -sighs- Just do the disclaimer.

A.J: Wolf doesn't own MAR at all. She does own her characters, which include me and Fang, and that's it so far...

Me: And they're mine! Mine! All mine! But you can ask to borrow them and give credit to me! Anyway...

Chapter 2; The Curse

"She was easy to find, Your Highness,"Phantom said, kneeling infront of his queen. "She came to me,"he added.

"Excelent,"a woman's voice hissed.

Phantom stoo dup,"If you do not mind me asking, Highness, why must I go after this girl?"he asked.

"She is Alviss's sister. Alviss cares for her and if she comes to our side, Alviss will want to get her back. He will fall into our trap and we will kill him. Without Alviss, the rest of MAR Heaven will be ours,"she explained.

"What happens if she doens't join?"Phantom asked.

The Queen cackled. "She will. You've already have had the Ginta boy's trust and she won't be any different, understood?"she asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."he replied, bowing his head in respect and walking away.

---------------------------

"I can't believe Alviss's sister is a thief!"Ginta yelled as they walked through the forest.

"Shhhh!!!"the others replied, all listening.

"I can not believe that Tom guy only had a small piece of bread! He could've had a whole loaf, but I odn't think that it would fit in his pocket..."they heard A.J. say. They peaked through the bushes to see A.J. washing her skin to remove a cover up.

Underneath to cover p were swirls wrapping around her body. They were dark red and outlined with a bright neon blue. As she stood up and faced where the others were, she flipped her bangs out of her right eyes for a second.

Her eyes were closed but she opened them just before the bangs fell back into place. No one saw her eye except for Tom, who kept quiet, not sure if what he saw was real or just his imagination.

"Alright Fan, you can come out,"she said and her ARM began to glow as Fang jumped out of it.

"Remind me again why I can't watch you wash your skin off? I am a fifty year old spirit of a twenty-eight year old wolf((In dog years))!"he yelled.

A.J. kneeled down to pick up her bag. "Yet you have the mind of a perverted seventeen year old humans boy,"she replied, a smirk on.

"Not true!"Fang barked, growling at A.J.

A.J. glared at Fang,"Don't you growl at me! I can break the ARM in a blink of an eye!"she threatened.

"You won't though,"Fang sad.

A.J.'s eyes glanced to the side. "You're right. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I had no right,"she muttered.

Fang rubbed his head against A.J.'s leg. "It's alright. I shouldn't have growled,"he replied.

A.J. laughed and sat down. "Lok at us! We fight, forgive, fight forgive!"she exclaimed. "Ihope we aren't always like this!"

Fang nodded,"It's too bad the group that we just stole from had to see that!"he exclaimed, glaring at the bushes where the others were hiding.

A.J. bounded up. "I thought we were being watched!"she said as the others came out of their hiding spot.

"A.J. pulled on ARM off of her chain hanging on her pants. "Small Hand Da-"she was cut off by someone's strong arm being wrapped around her stomach and the same person's hand roughly being placed on her mouth.

"You might not want to do that, Ms. Andrea Justine,"came the voice of Tom in her ear, making a tingle go up snd down her spine.

Tom's hand trailed p A.J.'s bare stomach, over her chest ((absent-mindedly)), up her neck, and to her bangs covering her eye. He slowly lifted the bang's up and A.j. reacted quickly.

She close dher eyes and tried to yank free of Tom's grasp; but no pervail. She did get away from facing the other, though. She faced Tom as his hand was still pushing the bangs away as his other hand was holding both her wrist tightly, her eyes still closed.

"Let me see your eye,"Tom said softly.

"Why sould I?"A.J. challenged.

Tom squeezed A.J.'s wrists painfully and A.J. gasped in pain. She glared at Tom, thus opening her eyes.

"It wasn't my imagination,"Toms miled, staring at A.J.'s eye. It was dark red and pupilless with a rbight neon blue color surronding the iris.

The others peered over Tom's shoulder and gasped as they saw her eye. Tom let go of A.J. and she collasped on the ground.

"What is that?"Ginta asked.

"A curse mark,"A.J. growled, clenching her fists tightly.

"Who gave it to you?"Jack asked.

A.J. looked down at her arms. "Not me, my mother,"she said. "There is a chess piece knight; Phantom. You all should have heard of him. His dad did this to my family.

"Phantom's dad had loved my mom, but my mom hated him. A few months before I came into this world, he put this same curse mark on her, saying 'For eternity, every female in your family will be cursed to never be able to love again!'

"After I was ive, Pahntom's dad died, but when I realized he had a son, I mad emyslef a promise. I promised I would get stronger, find Phantom, and kill him. You see, I'm not a real thief, that is just how I get what I need to survive,"she said. "I am an avenger."

A/N: If you want to see my pathetic excuse of a drawing of A.J., go to photobucket and type int he search box 'wolfgirl2(instert underscore)0' then go to my album. The picture that says 'rp character' between 'random' and 'light in the dark' is A.J. . I know... it is really bad... R&R please!
