A sweet humming could be heard echoing through the Office. Lady Elise sat on a chair, dressed only in her finest Underwear and her beige colored chemise. The cape her beloved put over her was , neatly folded, laying on a Bed next to her. He was standing behind her, carefully cutting her hair, short enough to end just underneath her chin. She was sitting still, humming to herself as to be strong about this decision. When he was done, he handed her a small Hand Mirror, she looked at herself from all possible directions and smiled brightly.

"This is so cute, I really like it. Thank you Kannon." she smiled, she turned around to look at him but was promptly greeted by a piece of folded fabric in his hands. It was a dress, the dress he promised he'd give her. She took it and went to the Bathroom to put it on, it was much easier to put on than any of the Dresses she had at home, she could do without any help.
When she as finished she looked at herself in the Mirror.
The dress reached down, just above her ankles, and was of a light Mint color, it lace at the Top and the Bottom rim as well as a Bow around her waist. The bow wasn't tied yet, she couldn't do this alone, she found out as she tried everything she got to tie this simple bow.
Nothing worked.

Outside, Pheonix arrived at the Doctor's Office. He'd taken a walk around the city, trying to gt the young Princess off his mind, but it didn't work. He heard giggling as he stood in front of the door, he opened it slowly and spotted how Kannon tied her bow. For him it looked like he was undressing her again, "W-what are you doing? Haven't you undressed her enough already?" he spluttered out, his face turning red from secondhand embarrassment, which wasn't really needed here. They turned around, looking at Pheonix who just closed the door.
"I just tied her bow, see?" he pointed at the back of her dress.
She did a slow piruoette and showed Pheonix her new dress, she liked it, "Isn't it pretty?" she asked him, smiling with satisfaction. Pheonix nodded, "Um, Yeah."

She sat down on a chair near him, smiling still, "Did you get the Princess of your mind finally, in Love at first sight?" she asked, a grin on her small face. He stared at her, annoyed but also slighty embarrassed. "I know that you haven't, You fall too fast for her, don't even know her name and already think it'd be forever?" she said, looking him dead in the eye. He felt somewhat violated like someone entered his Brain. "No, I have not... Also you said things that you shouldn't know... How?" he asked her, he pulled a chair out from under a table near him and sat down on it. "Well, If I look into someone's eyes, I can see The Past, Present, and Future and of course what the person is thinking," she explained herself, smiling a bit. "Wait... What?" he looked at Kannon for reassurement, but he didn't get any, "She's telling the truth. She cannont lie easily,so she doesn't try it." Kannon said, sitting down at his table. The heavy books were still laying sprawled across the table, pure Chaos, he just pushed them back.

"So you can actually see anything inside my Head?" he said looking over at Kannon as her heard the sound of Books falling onto the ground, "You should do something that chaos."
"Dr. Bittencourt doesn't mind and I can't be bothered to clean everything. I already keep the rooms clean enough." Kannon mumbled, it was hard to understand what he said but Pheonix undterstood it nonthenless. "He's the only Asisstant has because no one really wnats to work with him." Elise said, she stood up and walked arond the room,her dress swinging around with every move. "Now, do you want to know more about your precious Princess?" she asked, looking him dead in the eye.
Kannon was about to doze off, he remembered that didn't have a key, so he went over to the window instead, to see when he'll come back.
Pheonix had an inner conflict. He really needed to know more about the Princess with her Snowhite hair and Red, rose like eyes, he couldn't let his need show though, so he tried to be as calm as possible. "Yes, please tell me all that you can tell." he said in a very calm tone.

Elise giggled, "Fine." she said, she walked over to him, "She's a princess from a neighboring land, called Altera. Her name is Lady Elizabeth Hichiro. Her father is a Count and her Stepmother of course a Countess. She has the title of an Princess but you should adress her as Lady Elizabeth, as this is more common. Me too, by the way, you should adress me as Lady Elise and not like he adresses me," she points at Kannon, "Lady Elizabeth is adopted and was raised to see only the good in people she cannot hurt anyone and is easily scared and flustered, so be careful if you talk to her." she let out a sweet giggle then sat down on her chair again. She looked at Pheonix waiting for a reaction.

His eyes lit up and he had a goofy smile on his face, "Even from just the description she became even cuter and... and... so innocent. Is she going to be at the Festival tonight?" he really wnated to see her again at least once more, "I really want to see her again,talk to her or at least greet her." She stared at him, thought for a moment. "She is, but are you sure you wanna risk it?" she asked him, His opened wide, "Risk it? How?" he asked. Before she could say anything Kannon came along, "Even though she is of a lower rank as this little rebel here, she has more guards and servants as her father is extremely worried about the safety of his 'Little Angel'. Elli here on the other only has two maids giving her company at all times, her parents don't really care about her." he explained, motioning them towards the front door, "Let's go."

"I am ready to risk it, i always risk my life. Where are we going?" he walked over to the door, confused as always. "To the festival, Idiot." Kannon said, opening the door, "I need to bring this key to ." he said holding up the golden key. They all went outside, a cold wind hit them directly making them shiver. "Why is it so cold all of the sudden?" Pheonix asked as he took out his scarf from his bag. He wrapped it around his neck and looked at the other two.
He wrapped it around his neck and looked at the other two.
Kannon put his Cape like Jacket around Elise and started walking towards the festival. Elise held the Cape closed tight and followed him, "There are two reason why it could be cold at the moment; One, It's just the weather. Two, Ghosts." she mumbled.
Pheonix looked at her, much more confused than he ever was,
"What do mean 'Ghosts', Lady Elise?" he asked her, staring at her back.
She sighed, "Wait for it, it will reveal itself to you if you wait. Kannon knows, that's why he's walking faster than us."

"I don't know if I want to meet a ghost, it's not like I am scared or anything, but I am not ready to physically meet one in person." Pheonix said, trying to explain himself.
She giggled, " I am not even sure if it's a ghost. All I know is that i have a terrible feeling." she said, before she started to run towards Kannon, he stopped in the middle of the crowd.
He was looking around.

Pheonix ran up to them, "Oi, don't leave me alone, I said I like that but not alone and why did you guys stop?" he was out of breath but was trying to not sound confused.
Fog started to build up, the wind was cold and the sky was filled with dark clouds. From a far they could hear voices, Pheonix recongized the one of Lady Elizabeth, the one thing he liked more than her looks was her voice. It sounded mature but still sweet in a way. Much differnet than the overly sweet and Innocent voice of the creepy, little Lady Elise next to him.
"Either we're having a storm or there is entity among us." Kannon said, he looked around, trying to make out faces.
"Oh, Lady Elizabeth, she's so cute, I wanna know what she is doing over there, I want to go to her." he started walking towards her voice, but Elise grabbed his wrist tightly.
He didn't even flinch, even though she used all her strenght to pull him back.
"Wait a second, Romeo." she said, "Your Juliet is in trouble, like everyone else and you can't help her like this." She looked at Kannon, who still tried to see something. "It's no use, I can't see much. Elli, be careful." he said, turning around, Elise nodded, yanking on Pheonix's arm. "He's totally gone, Kannon." Elise whispered to Kannon, while Pheonix tried his best to get free from her grip. "Let go me Dwarf Lady..." he thought, "I want to see my Lady."

She hit him in the back as hard as she could, pushing him into the fog. "Don't call me a fucking dwarf Idiot!" she yelled after him. Kannon held her back, "Why did you do that? Who knows what's in that fog?" She felt bad now, knowing what she did. She risked his life because he called her a 'Dwarf', she wasn't for jokes or comments about her height, she was mocked enough at home. "Ah," she began, "I-I am sorry..."

"It's fine Elli," Kannon said, he patted her head, "Let's go, it's not safe here."
He looked around for a second, trying to find a way out fo the fog but they were surrounded.
"The fog mesmerizes people, pulling them into a Dream. Showing them their lovely relationship...?" Elise said, trying to make sense of it but no matter how hard she tried it didn't make sense especially not to Kannon. "Elli, can you explain this again please?" Kannon asked her, he had problems undertstanding feelings and everything that had to do with them.

"Um, you don't understand? It pulls people into a Dream world where they live with their perfect partner until they die, there and here. It is much quicker than real life though." she looked down at her feet, "At least, that's what I get from this fine sir, down here." she pointed at the lifeless body of an old man, mangeld into a painful postion, his eyes wide open from shock. "That's disgusting." Kannon said, "How can we stop this?"
He thought for a moment, "Wait before you answer that, what are we gonna do with the unconcious body of Pheonix there?" he pointed at him.

"Oh, He'll return back to normal if we fix this." she said,a smile on her face, "It's basically a Mist of seduction, kind of weird if you ask me." Kannon cleared his throat, "How do we fixt it?" he repeated. She stared at him for a minute, it felt like an eternity. He felt uncomfortable, it was like the Silence tried choking him, not that he had anything against that it was just awkward. "Let's find his true love, cause that is easy as fucking in a church!" she yelled out with a bright smile on her face, he on the other hand looked at her in confusion, "What?" he asked her.

She laughed nervously, "N-Nothing, let's go." She said, carefully dragging Pheonix along behind her. "His true love? You mean Lady Elizabeth?" he asked in disbelief, all he got as an Answer was a Nod. He shrugged and followed her, the way was lined with lifeless bodies in mangled postions, it was painful just looking at wondered what they saw and what they felt, did they feel the pain? "Nevermind, I don't want to know," he thought to himself.

She started giggling again, "It's not that bad Kannon."
Did she hear him? No, can't be. "Elli, are you ok?" he asked her, she nodded and let out a small giggle, "I've always liked you, there was never a chance I'd let anyone get near you." Kannon stopped, he was slightly freaked out, did she get affected by the fog but diffrently? He spotted the body of Lady Elizabeth, laying near the fountain.
"Kannon, what are you looking at?" she stared into his eyes.
A cold shiver ran down his spine, "Lady Elizabeth's body is over there. Didn't we need her to get rid of this?" he asked her, trying to look at her but this strange feeling of change didn't go away. She looked at the ground, she let go of Pheonix, "Don't look at her, please."
"Elli...Is everything really alright?" he asked as calm as he could.

She sniffed, a few tears dripped on the ground, they sparkled like little diamonds. "You're always looking at others with those eyes, I can't get behind them. They are a mystery to me,they hurt me, they look away from me. Do you hate me that much, Kannon? Am I bothering you?" she aksed, she couldn't hold her tears back. It definetely affected her differently, but why? "I don't hate you, Elli." he said, trying to comfort her but she turned away, "Liar."

If he could tell his feeling he'd do it now, but he can't, something is hindering him from doing so. Kannon sighed, " You really believe I am lying? I'll tell you someday, so please let's just resolve this situation." he patted her head. She flinched and stepped back, "No, you're lying!" she yelled, taking Pheonix's bag and cramming through it until she found what she wanted.
The knive, in all it's glory. "Your heart is poisoned, and I'll help you with that, Kannon." she laughed, it didn't sound as cute as the other times, it was as like she changed comepletely. She slowly walked towards him, brandishing the knive.

"Oh fuck," he thought, "Elli, can we ,like, talk about this?" he said in his small panic, she came closer towards him and he couldn't come up with an plan.
"Talking.. Talking.. always talking, you never do anything else with me..." She mumbled, and charged at him, pinning him to the ground, he hit his head and groaned in pain. Why did he feel this? He normally couldn't feel anything, but this hurt more than ever imagined. She sat on top of him, pointing the knive at his heart, a smile on her face.

"Elli stop now, before you do something you'll regret!" he yelled at her, trying to get hold of her hand but he didn't succeed, the knive was plunged into his chest. His head jolted back from the sudden pain. "Fuck," he said under his breath, she was staring down at him, crying, trying to grasp the situation. "What...?" she said, slowly regaining her sanity. She cried more than before, not knowing what to do. Kannon thought about many things he could do, but none made sense, he grabbed her and pulled her down, locking lips.
Her eyes widened, shock build itself up inside her, she tried to grasp the situation but couldn't manage to do so. Tears were flowing down her red cheeks, the kiss had a taste of sadness to it. After some time, he let go of her. His head fell back and he stared at the sky. "The sky..." he thought, the realiziation hit and he became slighty flustered. Elise still sat there, atop of him, crying her eyes out, her lipgloss smudged, tears streaming down her red cheeks. The Fog slowly disappeared and he could see the night sky more and more clear.
He looked at Elise, he didn't know how to stop her crying.
"Elli, you said True love, huh?" he said with a pained tone,"Am I still lying?"
She blushed and tried to look at him but she couldn't, "I-I guess you didn't..." she said.
"I am sorry," she whispered to herself.

"Elli, can you get off me, for a moment?" he asked her, she blushed even more when she realized she was sitting on him and got off him as fast she could. He sat up, it hurt a lot but he managed to do so, he grabbed the knive and was about to pull it out when Pheonix let out a yell at the sight. He stood up with the strenght he had left and stumbled over to them, he panicked a bit when he noticed that he wanted to pull it out. "A-are you okey? What happened?" he asked, worried about his newfound friend.
"I-It's okey. Don't worry." he answered. "You can't pull it out... no matter-" he got interrupted by the sound of flesh tearing as Kannon pulled the knife out in one go. "It's okey, what happend doesn't matter..." he said, twsting his face in pain as blood dripped onto his pants. He felt slightly dizzy. "It doesn't look like it doesn't matter, Kannon." he said, looking at him and then at Elise, whow as still crying.
"Kannon, I have Bandages in my bag." Phoenix said, "I'll bandage that wound for you."
He crammed through his bag and got the Bandages, he helped Kannon bandages his wound and sat down on the concrete again. "Thanks," Kannon said, "You shoudl check on Lady Elizabeth," he carefully added looking over at Elise while saying it. He wanted to make sure she was fine. Phoenix nodded and went over to Elizabeth, even from a distance he couldn't stop himself from blushing a little bit. He watched as she woke up, "Alice...Rebecca?" she asked.
She was looking around, trying to find her Maids, but she couldn't see them.
She sat up and noticed Pheonix staring at her.
"Do you need help My Lady?" he asked her. "She's so cute," he thought to himself.
She took his hand and helped her up, her green dress was ripped and dirty but he couldn't stop staring at her. Her white hair, her red eyes and her pink lips fascinated him, so much he couldn't stop himself from staring at her body as a whole. "Erm... thank you...?" Elizabeth stuttered, she felt embarrassed once again. "Of course Lady Elizabeth," he said, smiling in satisfaction. She looked at him, confused, "How do you know my name?"
"Who wouldn't know the name of the prettiest girl in the whole country?" he said, caressing her hand. She blushed, her face as red as a Strawberry, Pheonix blushed at the cute sight in front of him. They looked at eachother, as if time stood still.

"T-This is disgusting and overly cheesy..." Kannon mumbled, trying to stand up.
Elise crawled closer to him, trying not to be recognized by her Maid. "Kannon,I am sorry." she said, putting her Head on his Hand, he sighed and caressed her cheeks a bit.
"Stop crying already, Elli. It doesn't suit you at all." he told her, smiling a little bit.
She looked up at him, her eyes glimmering with happiness and hope. She hugged him, causing his wound to ache, making him flinch but he put his arm around her anyway.
A small kiss on her forehead later she smiled again, "Thank you" she giggled.
Her cheeks as red as ever, he held her small hand close to his heart.
"Feel that?" he asked, "A heartbeat,a fast one, so please don't stab me again."
She nervously laughed, "I promise" she said.
