~Peter's Pov~
I woke the next morning to find my room had been cleaned. That was odd, how did I not wake up when someone came into my room? Better question, who had cleaned it? I got out of bed and walked over to my dresser. Guess I should change my shirt. I put on a t-shirt, crap. It had a hole in it. I really needed some new clothes. I walked outside, the sun was at its high. How late had I slept in? "Hey there buddy." Dante said walking up behind me. I turned my head to see him. He looked well rested and well dressed. Did this guy always dress up? I came and stood next to me then looked down at the hole in my shirt, "hey you might want to go to the dressing room and pick out a new shirt before Talia sees that hole." He said, he seemed concerned. Talia? Who was Talia? "Um where is the dressing room?" I asked Dante. "Oh I'll bring you there. I can help you pick out clothes!" He said excitedly. This guy was like a girl when it came to clothes. He walked me over to a tree on the far right of the clearing through a small grove in the wall. He opened up the door and I couldn't believe my eyes. This place was like a department store with racks and racks of clothing. It had perfume, shoes, towels, different clothing sections. It blew my mind. "Where did you guys get all this stuff?!" I asked him a little shock in my voice. "Talia made it." He said smiling. "All of it?" I asked him, a little impressed by it all. "Ya, all of it. She makes the weapons too." He added to her list of skills. "Does she fight also?" I asked Dante. There was no way she could do all of this and fight also. "Ya, she fights too and cleans all the rooms." He mentioned. So that's who cleaned my room. "Now lets find you some clothes." Dante said in a calm, cool sort of way. This guy was strange, but he was like one of my only friends I had so guess I can't complain. He brought me over to a rack of fancy shirts, jackets, and coats that looked like his clothing choices. I left his side and walked over to a shelve holding t-shirts on it. I started to go through them, "what are you doing?" Dante asked looking over at me looking through the t-shirts. "Looking for shirts?" I said. "Over there, on that shelve?" He looked at me a little confused by my clothing choice. "Ya, oh and look some jeans." I said picking up that shirts I had found and walking over to a rack of jeans. Dante just stood there not knowing what to do. "Well okay if that's what you like." He said, then walked over and helped me look for jeans. We finished and he walked me over to a little room on the side. Then the door to the dressing room opened. "Oh no, quick put on that shirt!" Dante said rushing me into a black t-shirt I had found. "Uh what wait ow!" I scrabbled to find the words as Dante pulled the shirt over me. A girl with dark blue hair walked up to Dante. "Well doesn't he look nice." The girl said looking at me. "Who is he?" She asked Dante. "Oh this is Peter, the boss recruited him." He told the blue haired girl. She looked back at me and it felt like her blue eyes were piercing through my soul. She was on the edge of being to hot. She was drop dead gorgeous. "Oh hi, I'm Talia, nice to meet you." She said. Then she suddenly turned towards Dante, grabbed the collar of his shirt, and kissed him right on the lips. Uh, I thought he liked Felony? Who did this guy like? Was he dating Talia? She let him go then turned and walked out. I looked at Dante and he didn't seemed surprised by her actions. "Uh Dante?" I asked him. "Ya?" He turned and asked me. "Uh are you two dating?" I awkwardly asked him. "No, did you wanna take a shot at her?" He winked at me. Was he asking me if I liked her? After she had just kissed him?! Was he stupid? Then out of no where Talia walked back in, slapped Dante on the face, and walked back out and into the clearing. That was the strangest girl I had ever seen. Dante still didn't look surprised at her actions. Was she like bi-polar? "Dante, is she crazy?" I asked him. "Nah, well just a little." He laughed. Was he serious or joking? Why was everyone here nuts!? The only non-crazy people I had met were Sky and Sadie, and I don't even know them well enough to know if they really are crazy. What did I get myself into? "Well now that you're dressed lets go." Dante told me as he picked up my clothing. Where exactly were we going? I didn't questioned him, I just followed. We walked out into the clearing and went back to my room. He put my stuff on my bed then he took me back out into the clearing. "So how do you like it here so far?" Dante asked me. I looked around the clearing. Felony was fighting Aidan, Jason was chasing Usagi and a purple haired boy with a knife, Sadie was laying on a lawn chair next to a girl with purple hair, and Wolf was staring at me. So how did I like it here!? How am I supposed to know how I like it when everyone here is crazy?! "I really like it." I said to Dante trying to hide the fact I thought everyone was crazy. "You think we are crazy don't you?" Dante said, I think he could tell my true thoughts. I just awkwardly smiled. "Talia thought that at first too when she first came here, now she's crazier then all of us." Dante laughed at his words. I weirdly laughed with him. Is he trying to say I'm going to be crazy? "So did you ever get to shoot that bow of yours yesterday?" Dante asked me. Oh ya I never got to shoot the bow yesterday. "Oh, no, I didn't." I told him. "Well guess what I found for you!" Dante exclaimed excitedly. "What?" I asked, a little curious at what he found. "Racine!" He said to me trying to keep his joy inside. "Racine?" I asked him. Who was Racine? "Ya, she can use a bow and she's only going to be here for today, she leaves tomorrow for a trip." Dante sounded really excited about Racine. "Oh, uh where is she?" I asked Dante. "Waiting outside the entrance, go grab your bow and get out there." I quickly walked away to my room, went inside, grabbed my bow, and raced towards the entrance. When I stepped outside I saw a girl. She was really gorgeous, with her long white hair and beautiful black eyes, she looked like someone I had seen before, but I couldn't seem to put my finger on it. I walked up to her, "are you Racine?" I asked her. She wasn't carrying a bow so I couldn't tell if she was the girl Dante told me about. "Yes, you must be Peter. Dante told me about you." She said, oh no what did Dante tell her? "So are we going to practice?" I asked. "Actually change of plans. I have to leave right away so the Frost Man will be training with you." As she said this a muscular guy came out from behind the trees, he had white shaggy hair, red eyes, and he was carrying a bow on his back. "Now Frost Man I need you to teach this guy how to use a bow. I have to leave before," before Racine could finish her sentence a chain came flying out from the tree. Racine quickly jumped away, but the chain caught her foot and she awkwardly landed on the ground. A shadowy figure jumped down from the trees. They were wearing a black cape to cover there self. Was it the boss? Then pieces of blue hair fell out of the hood covering the face of the attacker. The attacker threw back the hood to revel there self, Talia. "You thought you could avoid me didn't you Racine?" She kept her head down looking at the ground. She suddenly looked up a grin on her face and her blue eyes blazing with rage. Talia pulled back the chain and quickly snapped it at Racine. Racine put her hands behind her back and like lightning threw a machete down on the chain. "Oh so you want to play rough?" Talia sneered. Racine lifted up her weapon and Talia pulled back hers. Then Talia pulled out another chain. Now with a chain in each hand she put one finger up to her lips, "shhh lights out." She playfully whispered just loud enough for us to hear. Suddenly the sun was covered and the whole area around us went dark. Sparks started to fly as Racine would block all of Talia's attacks with her weapon. All the sudden a beam of light struck down in the middle of their battle, then the sun reappeared to show Wolf standing where the beam of light once was. "I've had enough of you two!" He shouted at them. "Racine leave at once! Talia get back inside right now!" Wolf demanded. Talia casually walked back to the entrance, she turned her head over her shoulder to look at Racine, "this isn't over." She stated then walked inside. Racine put her machete back behind her back. "Goodbye Wolf, I hope to see you again soon." Racine then walked away disappearing into the forest, leaving me alone with Wolf and the Frost Man. Wolf looked over at the Frost Man, "Tyson go train Peter, and if you see Racine, tell her to leave, her presence is needed else where." Wolf said, then turned around and walked back in. Tyson? That must be the Frost Man's real name. What did Wolf mean by her presence is needed else where though? These three were up to something, I could sense something strange between them. I just couldn't figure it out though.
