Chapter 9. The Golden Dawn and the Bulls
When she got back Belladonna did not get to enjoy her time training in the rain, but instead went strait into her room and into bed. She didn't expect to feel so worn, but then again she was waking up at what she would usually call, "ungodly hours" so she slept through the rest of her day. With nothing to do it's not like she wasn't allowed to.

But the following morning, a ruckus was rapping at her door. Yes she heard it but her body wasn't in compliance with her wishes. She sighed after a few more loud knocks she stretched and got up with a groan, "Ugh reminds me of Nishimura." she grumbled.

Bella rubbed her eyes to rid them of sleep and quickly walked to the door. When she opened her door she saw another member of her squad waiting, he wore a stern sleek expression and had black hair that reached just above his shoulders, she cleared her throat, "Hello sir is everything alright? Did you need something?"

"You are Belladonna Glass correct?" he asked.

She nodded, "Yes and you are?" she stuck her hand out to offer him a hand shake, he stared at her hand for a moment but grabbed a hold and briefly shook it, "My name's Nils Ragus, and I was ordered to tell you that you are being summoned to Captain Nozel's office."

"Oh.. okay thank you Mr. Ragus. I'll be heading out quickly." Nils nodded and left down the hall to leave, Belladonna quickly jumped back inside her room and ran her hands through her hair and grabbed her grimoire and robe before leaving the room and quickly walking to the Captain's office.

She held her grimoire in her hand and  sped down the hall, "Ugh I should've at least changed into a fresh set of clothes. Wait... did I really forget my shoes."

Bella rushed back into her room so one one would see her walking the halls in socks. She opened her door and slammed it shut and ran to her closet to pull out some boots.

"Oh my goodness snap out if it, that would been so embarrassing." She mumbled.

She grabbed her ankle boots she wore the other day and a put them on. Bella went and checked her appearance over in the mirror and straightened out any wrinkles on her dress and pulled up the knee high black socks she slept in. With a nod she picked up her grimoire and left the room once again and headed to her captain's office.

Her right hand raised to knock on the door, the bracelet her brother gave her made a quiet jingling sound when she knocked.

She waited for a moment to hear anything for the other side but when she was met with silenced she just opened the door and entered. Bella stood straight and waited to be acknowledged as she waited inside the office by the now closed door.

Nozel was sitting behind his desk with a two fingers to his temple and his other hand holding the papers he read. Suddenly he glanced at her with a glare in his eye, "I didn't say for you to enter." he said. His eyes went back the paper.

Belladonna bit the side of her cheek, "My apologies Captain. Um may I come in?"

He sighed and put his paper down and leaned back, "Well you're already in. Have a seat." he motioned to the chairs in front of him.

Her lips pouted at his sour mood she moved to take a seat at the chair infront of his desk. She set her grimoire on her lap crossed on leg over the other and stared at him while she waited for him to speak again. And instead of him speaking to her about what she was summoned to he went back to the paper he was reading.

Bella let out a silent sigh, "What's so interesting that it has his full attention."

She leaned forward and rested her elbow on her knee with her chin in her hand and she just stared at him. She mindlessly tapped softly on her grinorie woth her fingers while she stared not so subtlety.
