Aorah's POV
I can't see. . .
I can't hear. . .
I can't feel. . .
My body felt like it was floating. Floating in nothing but air. I opened my eyes to find myself outside. I am in the middle of a clear field surrounded by trees and . . . CHERRY BLOSSOMS!!!! I wanted to scream. This was beautiful. It was amazing, it . . . was astonishing. My body wouldn't move. I wanted to run and jump around in happiness but I felt hollow some how. I need to call someone to make sure this wasn't a dream. I took out my phone from my dress pocket but it wasn't my phone. Who's phone, I had no idea. As I exmined the phone I started to feel a hot sensation sweep over my body. My body began to hurt and burn. I looked up finding the beautiful scene in flames. My mind couldn't consentrate on the phone anymore for my body began to erupte into flames. My body hurt so much but I fought the urge to scream and consentrated on trying to use my powers to save myself. My body burned even hotter and I couldn't bare the pain. I screamed and scream but no one came to my aid. At least that is was I thought. As my vision began to blurr a figure walked within the flames towards my body. He said, "Its time to wake up". As my eyes closed I felt at peace.
I jolted up in the bed. My body covered in sweat and soot. I looked around the room that I was in. I calmed as no one was here, yet where am I? The window was covered in what looks like black paint, so it was pretty dark in here but I used my spell to allow myself to see in the dark. The bed I was laying on was not as old as I think it was but it was comfortable. I looked straight ahead only to find a bookcase. I stood up and walked over to the bookself with what looks to consist of Braill. I was about to grab a book but as my hand landed on a big red one the door bursted open revealing a boy in a blue mask with a black substance leaking from his eyes. He had brown hair, a black hoodie, black pants and combat boots. He stood at the door. His head turned over to me. He began running to my direction enveloping me in a hug. Why is he hugging me? I was still in shock until he spoke. "Are you alright Aorah?" His voice deep and rugged but so smooth. He seemed to be looking at me but it was like he was looking just past me. I didn't embrace him, nor did I reply. He retracted from the hug then he smelled me. I blushed and pushed him lightly. He looked at me in shock. "Aorah, what's wrong?" He asked me. I didn't have any words. His voice sounded like he was worried but I can't tell. His mask was hiding his face. I wanted to see his face to know if he was actually worried. I reached my hand up to his mask but he backed away so fast I nearly fell to the floor. "I'm sorry, I know it's rude to touch others belongings with out asking. For that you may ignore me as you please." I spoke apologeticlly. He tilted his head still facing my direction. As if realization hit home he spoke quickly, "Kitten, look, that is not how this works. I just don't like anyone touching my mask. Don't take it to offense, its just me. Okay?" "But I thought-" I tried to speak but he cut me off. "Just don't touch my mask if you don't ask alright?" He said calmly.
I hummed in response. He nodded walking toward me. He grabbed my hand and lead me back to the bed. I tensed not knowing his intensions. I think he noticed since he spoke, "Aorah calm down. I am not going to try anything. . ." I sighed. "Unless, you want me to?" He stated teasingly. I blushed at his remark but sat down calmly. "BEN I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING PERVERT!!!"
A voice yelled from outside the door way. The blue masked boy sighed, "I'll be right back okay? Don't leave this room unless you want someone to strip you of your clothes." "I-I don't want that," I whispered to myself blushing.
"Good. Now stay put." And with that he left the room. With him leaving, my nose smelt something awful. It smelt so bad I couldn't find a word for it. Looking around I didn't see anything that could give off such an odor. I grabbed the collar of my dress and smelt it. My face contorted as the scent was coming from me. Sighing I looked back to the door. I felt like this was my chance to finish looking around the room. Best to switch out of these clothes than keep them. I don't know what happened and why I have blood on my dress but it was better than keeping it on. I scanned the room until my eyes landed on a dresser with books on it. I walked over to the dresser. It was dark oak. The wood felt polished but it was worn out. I pulled the first drawer open veiwing black cotton jackets. I lifted one and felt that it might be a little too big for me but it will cover everything I need it to. Slipping out of my bloody dress I put on the jacket. It wasn't too big but it covered my bottom. Noticing how silly this might look I blushed. I was wearing a guys jacket and I barely know him. I pulled the neckline of the jacket towards my nose. He smelt like medicine and strawberries. I sniffed the hoodie again and I looked around the room hoping no one caught me. My face flushed thinking of how bad I must look right now. Why did he call me 'kitten' anyways? I kept thinking to myself. He didn't touch me inappropriatly right? My face burned at the thought. I have to stop. I barely knew him. But then again he wasn't bad looking. I ignored my raging hormomes since I don't want the blue masked boy to think weird of me. I continued looking around the room and saw a bathroom but the door was closed. I'm not sure if it would be a good idea for the masked boy to find me in the shower. Sighing I walked back over to the bed and sat down. I am not sure how long I was laying there but the blue masked boy came back. He didn't have his mask on this time. This was the perfect time I was able to get a look at him. His skin color was gray. I wonder how that happened. He had no eyes in his eyes sockets. That was found out earlier. He had brown hair which looked unkept. It was messy but it looked good on him. He had a firm jawline that seemed to enhance his god like features. He was handsome. My body froze and my heart skipped a beat. He stood by the door sniffing the air a little, then a sly smile crept onto his handsome features. "Kitten, I know you are in here I can still smell the blood on you." "I- I'm here on the bed. Can you not see me?" I asked shyly. "I can see- " he stopped speaking to sniff the air again. "Umm. . . a-are you wearing m-my clothes?"
As he said that realization hit. I didn't tell him I was wearing his clothes. "I- umm. I wanted to get out of my b-blood stained clothes. I'm so s-sorry I didn't tell you." I said apologetically, stuttering in the process. His smile never left which was starting to scare me. He walked over to the bed sitting closer to the wall. He turned toward me speaking with the smirk evident in his features, "If you wanted me to yourself you could have just asked." I blushed furiously at this. "I-I-I . .d-didn't-" I tried to speak but stuttered. He bursted into laughter making the bed creak as he layed on his back holding his stomach. I looked at him dumb founded. I rolled my eyes and looked straight towards the door where Mikasa was standing. I looked toward the boy then to the door then to myself. I blushed even more, "Mika, it's not what it looks like. I promise. I had to get out of those dirt-" I tried to explain.
"Princess, I know. It's just what if it was Micheal and not me?" She replied calmly.
I looked at her with hope in my eyes. I jumped onto her wrapping my legs around her hips, kissing her cheek happily, thanking her for believing me. The boy stopped laughing and looked towards Mika and I. She giggled and petted me, "Now get off of me before Levi gets here and throws you into a bath tub." "Levi is here? Well then can you bath with me please Mika? I don't want to be in there by myself." I begged her with puppy eyes. With that the boy blushed furiously looking our way. Mika put me on her side, since I was smaller and lighter than her, glaring at the boy that was looking at my childish actions, half-blushingly. She growled making the boys head turn toward the window. "Okay, but lets hurry before Levi sniffs you out and try to wash you with tide." She spoke quickly. At the mention of Levi's name I jumped off of Mikasa and ran to the bathroom throwing the door open. I turned on the light and my mouth fell open in shock. The bathroom was huge. The floor was tiled and sparkled. The sink was on the side where the door was. And the wall had a ceiling to floor mirror. I looked at the mirror and was about to touching before I heard Levi shout, "WHAT THE FUCK IT THAT PUTRED SMELL? I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU ALL IF IT'S COMING FROM ANY OF YOU." I was pretty sure the white man that was in a suit would be scared by now with how Levi yelled. I squeaked and turned on the shower faucet. Hot water pour into the tub and I sighed in appreciation. Mikasa casually walked in the bathroom as I slipped off the jacket I was wearing. She smiled at me a faint blush on her cheeks. I looked at the mirror taking note at why she was blushing. I was wearing my red lingerie. I only wore it because I thought I would be seeing my crush. I blushed looking at my self. I sighed and let my wolf ears and tail pop out. I glanced at the mirror once more before looking back to Mika. She was still by the door. The bathroom door was wide open. A boy with a white sweater walked into the room talking the blue masked boy. He had a smile carved into is face making it seem as though he could smile forever. He glanced over to the bathroom quickly looking back to the boy with the blue mask. He then quickly looked back toward the bathroom eyeing my body then my tail raising his eyes to meet mine. He blinked once then twice more as if this were a dream.(Jeff has eyelids in this story.) He had black around his eyes like he hasn't slept in months. As he looked at my body again a smile crept across his face making the cuts seem longer. "Hey, EJ, whose the babe you have in your bathroom?" At the word 'babe' Mikasa turned towards the boy. She was enraged, moving at lightning speed. She kicked him in his stomach then punched his face causing him to fly toward the dark oak dresser. He looked back at Mika like she just made a huge mistake. She got into a fighting stance and that was when I interrupted. I wasn't angry that she went to fight, not that at all. She left the door open so now the boy named 'EJ' can see my body as well. I put my weight on one leg. My hip poking out allowing my thick thighs and waist to seem thicker. The gray skinned boy was looking at me. He licked his lips as he looked at my sexy undergarments. I didn't flinch under his stare but just as my nerves always tend to do they went against my body and so I shifted nervously. I tried to cover myself with my fluffy tail and thin arms. "Umm, Mika, I thought you said Levi was here. Is he not? And if he is why are you out there and not in the bath with me?" I asked blushing and a little infuriated. She looked back at me in shock. "I'm sorry, princess. I shall join you right now." She replied bowing towards me. The smiling boy looked at me in shock but then he whistled towards me and blew me air kisses. At this the boy named EJ stepped up, slapping the smiling boy, "Jeff, she is the ethereal princess of this land. Show respect before I make you." The boy named 'Jeff' looked at me with utter shock and looked away saying 'what the literal fuck' in a mere whisper. Thank god I wasn't able to hear the rest of what he said. Mikasa closed the door before I was able to ask him what he said. I sighed then stipped to my birthday suit. Mika only took off her shirt, shoes and jeans. I asked her, softly "Why don't you take off your undergarments Mika? You are taking a bath, won't you get sick doing this?" She shrugged, "I won't really get sick. Also you are the one with your clothes smelling like a decaying animal. I will hand wash your clothes for you, but you will have to stay in here since you won't be able to wear anything until they are clean. And the 'Slenderman' said you need to rest. Okay?" I nodded in response not really wanting to stay in one place for long.
