SLAM!
Molly's heart was beating…she had not meant to slam the door but on account she was barely wearing anything in front of Prince Aikka it was about the only thing she could do.
She slumped down on the floor, her face felt hot.
Prince Aikka quickly turned around his face burning red with embarrassment. He stormed down the hallway.
"Nora!" Aikka yelled.
Nora quickly ran out of a nearby room, "Yes Prince Aikka?"
"Where is Raya!"
Nora was startled at how loud Aikka's voice had become.
She pointed to the stairs, "She went…"
Of course direction was all Aikka needed as he went down the stairs. He left the hanger and saw Raya laying on the grass.
"Raya!" Aikka yelled walking up to her.
Raya sat up and turned her head in Aikka's direction, "You yelled?"
Aikka was slightly annoyed with Raya's response, she seemed rather happy.
"Why did you not tell me Molly was…"
Of course Prince Aikka was unable to finish what he was saying, he did not want to let Raya know what had happened. This was no use though Raya's fox like smile appeared.
Raya leaned back down, "Your welcome!"
Aikka was growing impatient with Raya's attitude. She was a reckless girl who often times didn't think before her actions.
"OW!" Raya cried as Prince Aikka gave her a rather hard hit on the head.
"What the hell was that for!" Raya yelled sitting up.
Prince Aikka said not a word as he made his way back to the hanger. Raya growled slightly before she thought of something…
Quickly getting up she ran past Prince Aikka, she turned her head and smiled at him, Aikka knew she was up to something.
"Next time I won't give her a towel!" Raya said smiling as she ran into the hanger.
Prince Aikka stood outside the hanger, his face red. He knew Raya was going to do something he had not thought she was going to say that though.
Raya walked up the stairs, she was happy but her sense of chaos was not satisfied.
"Um Raya?"
Raya looked up Molly was wrapped in the towel. Her face was slightly red after the recent event.
"Oops! Sorry I'll go get you some clothes!" Raya said as she walked past Molly.
Raya then stopped, she saw the Nourasian prince's aura not far behind her. Aikka kept his glance away from Molly and Raya.
"Ooohhhhhh Aaaaaiiiiikkkkkaaaaa…." Raya said.
Prince Aikka did not even glance at Raya. Of course Raya's fox like smile did not disappear.
"…CATCH!" she yelled suddenly pushing Molly.
This did catch the princes attention as he ran over quickly catching Molly.
"Raya!" They both shouted at once.
Raya leaned over the rail an innocent look on her face.
"Hey Molly…"
Molly looked up at Raya, "W-What?"
"…Your towels slipping."
"EEP!" Molly cried, Prince Aikka quickly looked away.
Raya couldn't help but smile. The aura's glowed pink. Molly suddenly looked up again.
"Wait a minute you told me you couldn't see solid objects!"
Of course Raya had already left her insane laughter echoing down the hallway.
Molly looked at Prince Aikka.
"Um Prince Aikka?"
He looked at her.
"Err…you can put me down now."
Molly had to hide her smile, there was no doubt in her mind that Aikka was blushing. Aikka looked around and walked over to where his cape was hanging. Taking it down he walked back to Molly and wrapped it around her.
"My apologies for Raya's actions." Aikka said with a bow.
"YOU KNOW YOU ENJOYED IT!"
Molly and Aikka both jumped at Raya's outburst. They were unaware she had been watching. Prince Aikka quickly turned and ran up the stairs.
"Eek!" Raya squeaked running down the hall, "Stay away from me!"
Nora walked out of a room. She shook her head as she walked down the stairs.
"It's hard to believe they are related."
Molly looked at Nora in surprise.
"They are?"
"Yes they are cousins, though its almost impossible to believe." Nora said with a sigh.
Molly thought for a moment. It was hard to believe Prince Aikka and Raya were related. Nora walked up to Molly.
"I believe your clothes are dry."
Molly followed Nora into a beautiful room. It was painted a beautiful gold color, red curtains decorated the room. Nora handed Molly her clothes which had been neatly folded. As Molly took her clothes she couldn't help but notice an elegant dress hanging on the wall.
"You like it?" Nora asked with a gentle smile.
"Oh uh…" Molly started, she did not realized she was staring.
"That dress belongs to Raya but she hardly wears it. It's for formal events and Raya says its difficult to move in. Maybe I'll get her to wear it for the Grand Celebration."
"The what?" Molly asked.
"It's a tradition after the great race. All the teams that came to compete gather together to celebrate. I've herd it's a wonderful time."
"The Grand Celebration…" Molly thought. "I wonder…if its really that great."
"Raya what happened!"
Molly turned to see Raya walk in. Raya had a dark bruise on her leg.
Raya stuck her tongue out with a smile, "Aikka got mad at me…and beat me again!"
"Beat!" Molly said in shock.
"Huh?" Raya said, "What! No not like that!"
Nora sighed, "Raya is quite skilled in martial arts, as is Aikka, but she has never won against him."
Raya pouted at this remark.
"Raya why don't you walk Molly back to her teams hanger?"
"Sure thing!" Raya said with a thumbs up.
After Molly finished dressing she met Raya outside. As they started walking down the path Molly stopped. The black figure that haunted her memories walked down the path. The first time she had seen this figure was on the day of her mothers death.
Raya stopped and bowed to the dark figure which went by the name of Spirit. Molly stood still her body shaking. Spirit gave the slightest of bows to Raya.
Raya looked back at Molly as Spirit left the path, "Is something wrong?"
Molly shook her head, "N-No its nothing!"
It was quiet as Molly and Raya walked down the path.
"You know Spirit's not that bad…" Raya started but suddenly back away from Molly.
In Raya's mind Molly's aura had become a deep red. This red meant the utmost hatred for something.
Molly was shaking, hearing Raya say those words filled Molly with such anger. Without realizing it they had reached the earth teams hanger.
"Molly are you alright?" Raya asked once again.
"Yeah…" Molly said.
"Then stop looking so sad!" Raya said with a smile.
Molly gave a smile but it soon vanished as she saw Don Wei walking towards her. She had not realized how long it had been sense she had left.
Raya waved goodbye and turned back upon the path. She left before Molly could say anything.
As Raya ran along the path she stopped. She saw the horrid creature that belonged to Colonel Toros. She bowed stiffly.
To her dismay Colonel Toros stopped. She was hoping he would simply walk by her.
"Why were you with that Earth pilot?" Colonel Toros asked his voice sending shivers down Raya's spine.
"I-I was just talking with her." Raya said nervously, she would never admit to helping the Earth team in fear of what Colonel Toros might do.
"Is that all?" He asked.
Raya nodded her head. Suddenly she fell back a few feet her face stinging.
"Don't lie to me little girl!"
"Toros!"
Raya turned , the creature which only belonged to Prince Aikka came near her.
"That is enough Toros, she has answered your questions."
Colonel Toros's eyes narrowed. "I trust you were not helping the enemy young prince."
"Why would we help an enemy Toros!" Raya yelled.
Prince Aikka became nervous, Raya's attitude could cause chaos if it were allowed.
"I would watch your mouth…" Colonel Toros said.
Colonel Toros turned and left without another word. As soon as Raya was sure he was gone she fell forward Prince Aikka catching her.
"Aikka I don't feel so well…" Raya said.
"I'll have Nora…" Aikka started.
"Aikka…"
Aikka looked at Raya.
"Promise me you'll protect her…"
"Who?"
"The young Earth pilot, Molly."
Raya knew something was going to happen. She never became ill unless something horrid was going to take place. This something combined the colors of white stained with red.
This color meant bloodshed…
To be continued…
Ok that's all for now! I made this chapter longer. I hope everyone is enjoying the story I'm trying my best to come up with ideas! Don't worry I'll make sure to have Raya cause more mischief!
