My Ray of Hope

New Found Friends

   When my sight returned I looked around to figure out what happened, but I was clueless.

   "Alice?" the blonde boy spoke softly to the Chain girl as he sat up after lying on the floor passed out.

   The Chain Alice looked up at the boy and from the sounds of her breathing, she might be crying but I couldn't be certain from where I am, so I slowly got to my feet and made my way to them.

   When Alice took a deep breath I stopped to listen,"I don't... get it... Oz... my chest's all tight... and I... can't stop crying. My memory was always calling to me... from inside this watch... I've... finally gotten one of them back," Alice continued to cry into the boy Oz's hand as she holds it along with the watch.

   I turned to make my way to the other three deciding to let Oz and Alice have their space. As I made my way, the man in black walked past me towards the two, as he passed he looked down at me as if I'm not wanted. I continued my way to the white haired man and light brown haired girl. when I got to them they both looked at me and smiled.

   The young girl was wearing a light purple ball gown with white lace strips starting at the neck and end at the waist, along the lace near the neck was fabric roses the same color as the dress and the collar rested softly on her neck. The sleeves end just above her wrists, but the added fabric at the end make them pass her wrists. The fabric on her shoulders draped over them to form a small cape that ends a bit above her elbows and a bow was placed on her waist in the back. As for her face, she had pink eyes and rosy cheeks, her light brown hair was held in a ponytail by a ribbon, making her hair end below the waist.

   Beside her was the white haired man, he was wearing a purple shirt with a white overcoat which the sleeves cover his hands because the coat rests over his shoulders and held in place by black straps. On the left side of his coat was a strap that held a small bag and he had a dark blue ruffled scarf around his neck. He had black shorts that passed his knees and white boots. His silver white hair was messily made as it covered his left eye, leaving his red right eye visible. On his shoulder sat a doll with blue skin, brown hair, and a pink dress.

   "Well, well... who do we have here?" the white haired man asked me cheerfully as he leaned in closer, moving his eye up and down as if examining me, all with a smile on his face.

   Feeling uncomfortable, I ignored the mans question and asked my own, "I'm sorry to bother you two, but could one of you please tell me where I am?" When I finished, I looked at the man, only to see him looking down at the floor, pouting because I ignored him. As I saw this, I couldn't stop myself from releasing a few giggles.

   "You are in one of the Rainsworth family's properties," the girl answered, then turned to the man and let out a sigh, then returned her gaze to me, "Let me introduce myself, I am Sharon Rainsworth," Sharon said as she did a small bow.

   "And I'm Xerxes Break," Break introduced himself with a bow, "and this little cutie here is Emily," he said as he pointed to the doll on his shoulder.

   "Pleased to meet you all," I said with a small bow.

   "At least she has more manners than the dumb rabbit!" a high pitched voice said.

   "Now, now Emily how many times do I have to tell you to stop blurting out the truth?" Break asked his doll.

   "What did you say about me, you stupid piece of cloth?!" Alice questioned Emily angered by what she said about her.

   Alice had long brown hair that went to her knees. She was wearing a red jacket with a white bottom half, cuffs, and bow around her neck along with a black mini skirt. Finishing her look was white boots, gloves and purple eyes.

   "It looks like you're feeling better," I said as I  turned my head toward Alice and smile.

   "Who the hell are you?" Alice looked at me with disgust, "What, are you who I think you are?" her expression changed from disgusted to pleased.

   "And who do you think I am?" I asked with a smile on my face.

   "Before I say, I want to see your left eye first just to make sure," she said as she took a step toward me.

   When Alice said she wanted to see my eye that I covered with my hair, surprised me and by the looks on everyone's face, my reaction showed it.

   I looked at the faces of each person and let out a sigh,"Fine I'll show you my eye, only if he tells me his name," I said as I pointed to the man in black and all of the others heads followed.

   "What!?" he shouted surprised by all the sudden attention.

   "Yeah, I'm curious myself. What is your name?" Oz asked with a smile as he looked at the man.

   Oz was wearing a white button up shirt with a brown vest and a red tie. His blonde hair was fairly short and some of it was in his face. He also had green plaid shorts, Brown buckled boots and emerald eyes.

   "Raven," he answered.

   Raven was about the same height as Break and was wearing a white shirt, ruffled scarf, and gloves. His shoes, pants, coat, hat, and hair were black. The only part of him that had color was his eyes which were gold.

   "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is..." Oz said, but I interrupted him.

   "Oz," I finished, then pointed at Alice,"and she is Alice."

   "My, my. Someone is quite observant. Good for you," a happy voice said as a hand landed on my head.

   A high pitch squeal escaped my lips as I turned around to find it was Break that touched me.

   "A little jumpy too it seems," he said with a pleased smile.

   "Break, give her her space and time to sort things out," Sharon told Break with a serious face.

   "Are you done talking? If so, are you going to show me your eye?" Alice said with an annoyed expression and an impatient tone.

   "Sorry," I said as I turned to face Alice. When I did, I tucked my bangs away from my face revealing my red eye.

   Alice smiled at me with cold eyes then opened her mouth, "So you're the human that was able to live in the Abyss for seventeen years," when Alice finished, everyone turned to face me and looked at me with surprise except Break who looked more impressed instead of surprised.

   "Do you have a name young lady?" Break asked as he pulled out two chairs in front of a couch near a giant glass french door and gestured me to take a seat which I did.

   "Yes," I answered as I took a seat in one of the chairs, Sharon took the other while Oz and Alice took the couch in front of the glass door, leaving Break and Raven standing behind Sharon and I.

   "Could you please tell us it," Sharon asked.

   "Sure," I said, "It's Mia Delta," I replied, suddenly feeling light headed.

   "Are you feeling okay? You don't look that good," Oz asked concerned.

   "I'm okay, just a little light headed that's all," I said reassuring Oz that I was fine with a small smile.

   "Break, could you take Mia-sama to a room so she can rest," Sharon told Break which sounded more like an order than a request.

   "Yes, Milady," he replied with a little salute and a big grin. I couldn't help myself and started laughing softly at Breaks silly actions. Break extended his hand to help me up with a smile and in his carefree tone said, "This way Mia-chan."

   I didn't take his hand, but instead got up on my own. As soon as I got to my feet, the room started to spin and my body felt like it was getting heavier. When the room stopped spinning was when my sight went black. The only thing I could remember was falling to the ground, but someone or something caught me before I hit it.
