"Life is about trusting our feelings and taking chances, losing and finding happiness, appreciating the memories and learning from the past". –Unknown


Fuyumi had taken her sweet time getting up, the clock 10:30 am and for once, that was an early time for her during vacation. Other than Christmas day of course…namely because it was at that time when her little brother and little sister would come barging into her room at five in the morning screaming "HE CAME! HE CAME!" Fuyumi chuckled to herself at that thought. she would be back in time for Christmas to face and hear her siblings shouting and running about excitingly.

Fuyumi blinked blinkingly at the thought. If Cassie or Reece heard that, so many wrong sounding things would come up and strike up a perverted conversation. "Why do I bother?" Fuyumi said midway through a yawn. Morning took its toll on her as she made her way to the bathroom, the sight of the bathroom made her feel slightly sick because the colors didn't suit her. "Good morning lazy a**" Fuyumi muttered looking at herself in the mirror.

She paused when she started brushing her hair. Small indents and incarcerations were wrapped around her neck and small markings were shown lightly around her cheeks. At first she was shocked instantly dropping the brush, but in a brief moment she relaxed and continued to examine the markings that were left on her neck. "What the ******** have I been sleeping on?" Fuyumi asked herself. She sighed and shook her head, "Whatever". Fuyumi gave herself a moment's peace before pulling her shirt off and pants, morning showers were wonderful but in the winter not so much… either way, it was relaxing.

"What I wouldn't give for a warmer winter" Fuyumi muttered turning the shower on. Cold water at first splattered onto her causing her to shiver at the touch, but it quickly warmed up allowing Fuyumi to relax and soak in the heat the water gave off. "Ode to Joy-" said in a slight sing song voice. She rubbed the back of her neck in a caring motion as the water drummed down on her.


Fuyumi finished drying her hair, the blond bangs intertwined with her brunette hair mixing the two colors together. It had bugged Fuyumi a little, but she managed to move her hair around so that it set down together in a neat fashionable order. Not that she entirely cared about fashion, but she liked it whenever her hair was in complementing decent order.

She stared out the window with an annoyed sigh, watching the snow fall on top of the old snow that was there yesterday. "If only it'd snow in Algona" Fuyumi muttered darkly, but either way she was glad that it rarely snowed in Algona. Fuyumi left the window and threw her towel off onto the ground and grabbed an all blue spaghetti strapped tank top and a pair of slightly torn blue jeans. Her clothes never match and her clothing choices always seemed to annoy people considering sometimes she wore bruise colored combinations, but then again. What else could she do other then be herself? That's how her "Family" liked her.

Fuyumi grabbed her slight worn out Barcelona bag that she had bought in Europe back when she went during her freshman year. It was her favorite bag among all bags that she had previous owned and out of the two she had bought in Europe. She grabbed her cellphone and threw it into her bag along with her camera, sometimes it was best to carry a camera with your person because there are some events that did happen, but was one thing you could not explain very well, but shown. Fuyumi checked back at her Alarm clock which read 11:20am. She sighed and hurried out the door running into a familiar face, "Oops! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to run into you!"

The brunette looked at the dueled girl shaking his head. "It's alright, are you okay?" he asked Fuyumi. He smirked when she gave off a deer in headlights look before responding.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. Well Erm… I got to go but uhm… I'm totally sorry though! Bye!" Fuyumi said quickly nodding at him and then running off.

The Boy looked at her as she ran off, smiling slightly as she ran off in a hurry. But he instantly frowned when he thought he saw strange markings on the girl's neck. "Is that… no its not… I thought…" he muttered shaking his head.


Alicia Bunyun was almost successful woman, but she made one mistake by taking drugs and drinking. Now she was stuck working here in a Marriot Hotel in Ohio, in a way. Alicia was actually lucky that they accepted her application and allowed her to work here, so now she was a maid going and cleaning people's rooms. Her main focus at the time was that she had to clean the room that the young dueled woman had come out of; she remembered the familiar face of Jonah after he had run into the girl. Nobody trusted Jonah and they had every right to be considering that he had been there when his parents were murdered covered completely in their blood. Alicia was the one that hated Jonah the most and always had an excuse about to make fun of him and insult him.

"Who was that?" Alicia teased Jonah "Your girlfriend? What will do if I told her what you did Jonah"

Jonah frowned at Alicia and was tempted to punch the lights out of her. But he knew better from what his parents had taught him and his little sister would have been devastated if she found out he got himself into trouble. "How about you shut up Alicia and give that a rest. At least I'm in a better spot then you are" He seethed; Jonah turned heel and stormed off away from Alicia.

Alicia shook her head and moved over to the room she was in charge of cleaning. For once it was a room that was actually nice and neat, barely a mess except for the sheets which were tossed aside on to the floor.

"I hate my life" She said frowning with a dark hiss. She moved the sheets around and tucked them into place.

A darkened creature of a foot tall watched her with its eyeless stare. It clicked its fingers across the ground and then made a quick scuttling motion closer to the intruder in the very room. No doubt that it viewed her as a perfect choice. The creature made another clicking noise, this time on top of the dresser behind Alicia.

Alicia heard the noise and turned around to face the creature. All she really remembered was it clicking on the dresser and then pushing its self off of it and into her face, wrapping its reptile-like tail around her neck tightly and sticking a long fleshy tube down her throat forcefully. Alicia screamed loudly and then there was nothing but darkness.


Jonah was at some distance away from the room and heard Alicia scream, no doubtingly that it was about a small innocent insect that was just trying to find its way out of the room through the open door or an open window. Whatever the case, Jonah could totally care less. All he was interested in was getting Lunch and wanted to run into the girl with the blond and brown in her hair. She seemed nice and in a way… he sort of started to like her and he wanted to double check on her after all the markings on her neck seemed a little odd considering it looked like something had wrapped around her neck in an attempt to choke her…
