Xina: SL-nee-sama doesn't own The Saga of Darren Shan or any of it's characters. She does own me and Xanny though.
Xan: Speak for yourself! And don't call me Xanny!
Daryl was extremely freaked out. The reason being that the night before, Evra – her best friend before she had been turned into a girl – had kissed her. She hadn't said anything about it at the time but now she was seriously stressing out.
She was about to put on some clean clothes when she caught sight of something that scared the hell out of her. She screamed.
Xan and Evra burst into the tent and there stood Daryl, completely naked. Evra blushed and left the tent, deciding that Xan was best to deal with this crisis.
"Daryl, what's wrong?" Xan asked.
"T-there's blood in my panties!" She cried.
Xan laughed. "Put some clothes on and we'll talk about it."
After Daryl had put her clothes on, Xan explained to her all about the menstrual cycle. Daryl's facial expression went from terrified, to slightly freaked, to totally grossed out. When Xan had finished talking, Daryl looked at her and asked,
"How on earth do you girls survive?"
Xan laughed again. "You get used to it." She said before tossing a couple of feminine hygiene products at Daryl. "Those are to stop the blood from leaking."
"Ew," Daryl murmured in response.
"Daryl!" Evra cried. "What was wrong? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine now, although my stomach hurts a little. And do we have any chocolate?"
Xan giggled. "Let's go into town and buy you some."
"Yay!" Daryl exclaimed before skipping off.
"Has she…?" Evra whispered to Xan.
"Yeah."
"What kind do you want?" Xan asked.
"Caramel," Daryl replied, almost jumping up and down with the anticipation.
Xan paid the shop-keeper before following a happy Daryl outside into the streets. It seems that Daryl was a little too happy because she accidentally ran straight into a girl that happened to be passing by.
"Ow! I'm sorry," Daryl said as she helped the girl to her feet.
"Oh, it's okay, I-" The girl's voice broke off when she saw the red-haired girl stood behind Daryl. "Xan?"
"Xina?" Xan echoed.
"You two know each other?" Daryl said.
"We're sisters." Xina answered.
They did look alike. They both had the same dark eyes and red hair. Although Xan's was long and flowed down to her waist but Xina's was tied up into two pigtails.
"Xan, I didn't know you had a sister," Daryl said conversationally.
"I don't, not anymore." Xan spat before storming off in the direction of the Cirque du Freak.
