Molly sat up in the bed. Her fingers to her lips she didn't realize how red she had become.

"W-Was that a dream?" Molly asked herself.

"What are you so lovey dovey about!" Raya suddenly said popping her head through the door.

"ACK!" Molly cried falling off the bed.

"Oops sorry…" Raya said as she walked in a grin spread across her face.

"Ouch." Molly said rubbing her head.

"You alright?"

"Yes but thanks to someone I hit my head on the ground…" Molly said.

Raya scratched her head embarrassed. "Sorry."

"That's alright…" Molly said sitting down on the bed, "…Raya did anyone come into my room while I was asleep?"

Raya put her finger to her mouth in a thinking motion, "I wouldn't know Nora and I went to the market. Aikka was here why not ask him?"

Molly's face became red again, "N-NO! It's alright, I-I was probably dreaming!"

Raya had a playful grin on her face, "What was the dream about?"

"Nothing!"

"HA! You were dreaming of the prince weren't you?"

"What no!"

Molly was becoming embarrassed as Raya tried to figure out what had happened.

"Anyway Raya, you said everybody has…distinctions?"

Raya pouted slightly, she knew Molly was trying to change the subject. With a sigh she nodded her head.

"Yes everyone has unique quality's in their aura. Nora has what looks like a dove."

Molly thought for a moment. She closed her eyes, after a moment the image she had seen when Raya held her hands appeared.

"A fox…" Molly said.

"I've been told that my aura has a fox like creature surrounding it."

Molly opened her eyes. She had to think for a moment before she figured out how to ask the question that was on her mind.

"Raya…can everyone see auras?"

Raya shook her head. "No only those that have been given the ability. In your case I gave it to you."

"Um Raya what does Prince Aikka's aura look like?"

Raya thought for a moment, "I think…well its hard."

Suddenly Raya took Molly's hands. "Better if I show you."

Molly closed her eyes, a creature started to form. It looked to Molly like a gold tiger, only it had wings. Opening her eyes she could see why Raya had trouble describing it. The creature had something strange about it. Molly felt relaxed when she saw the creature.

"Why did you want to know?" Raya asked letting go of Molly's hands.

"I was just curious…"

Raya could tell it was more than that but she decided to leave it be. Standing up she stretched.

"I'll go get your clothes. Your team must be worried sick about you!"

Molly looked away, "I doubt it…"

"What?" Raya asked turning her head.

"Nothing."

Raya walked out leaving Molly to her thoughts. Without realizing it she had put her fingers to her lips again.

"It couldn't have been…"

"Clothes are still wet!" Raya shouted.

This time Molly made sure she kept her balance. Her heart was beating, Raya had once again startled her.

"Hey lets go for a walk."

Molly looked at herself.

"Guess you could use a bath and some fresh clothes first."

Before Molly could say anything Raya was dragging her down the hall. Molly was surprised at how well Raya was able to walk through the halls.

"I've got some clothes that should fit you." Raya said pushing Molly into a bath room.

"But I uh…" Molly started.

Raya looked at Molly, "What you want Aikka to join you?"

Molly's face became beat red, "NO!"

Raya giggled, she was enjoying teasing Molly. Raya put some towels down and left the room.

Molly looked around, it was rather large. She turned the water on and waited for the tub to fill. As she waited she kept thinking about the dream. That hallway…it scared her. She did not know the reason why she was scared but something about that hallway sent shivers down her spine.

Suddenly Molly realized she was shivering. She felt so cold as she hugged herself. Turning off the water Molly stepped into the water. Sitting down she felt her body relax. Taking a deep breathe she submersed herself in the water.

The water was warm. Darkness surrounded her as she opened her eyes. Nothing was around her only darkness. Suddenly blank pictures surrounded her.

"No!" Molly thought.

The hallway started to form in front of her. Molly opened her mouth to scream but found that she was unable to breathe. Water filled her lungs. Pushing herself up she started coughing. Gasping she found herself above the waters surface.

"Damn it!" Molly screamed punching the water.

She quickly got out of the water and wrapped herself in the small towel Raya had given her. She was still dripping wet as she opened the door.

Molly froze, her face became red yet again…Aikka was standing right in front of her. She suddenly slammed the door. Her heart was pounding, she hadn't even noticed the blush that had spread across Aikka's face.

Raya smiled as she sat in a chair. In her mind she saw two figures their aura's both pink. She had herd the slam of the door and she knew what had happened. She had 'forgotten' to mention Molly was taking a bath.

"This is fun!" Raya thought tilting back in the chair. "Aikka's going to kill me later, but it was sure worth it!"

To be continued…

Bleh it was getting too long again! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Not my best but I'm saving it for the next chapter XP. I love teasing my friends so having Raya helps me tease the characters! XD
