From the Inside

Just the beginning

Bliss went searching for the others like what her shadow has told her to do. "Find the others, make them know I need them." She told herself.

The first place was a big house, three story, on top of a mountain. Bliss decided to fly up to the door since there where many stair steps, and she gently pushed the button to ring the bell, as it echoed the house you would hear footsteps getting louder.

"If it's another squirrel throwing it's acorns..." Said a voice inside, then suddenly the door opened.

"Hello, I'm-" she got interrupted.

"It's Banana Bliss!!" The door shut close nervously.

"Okay..." Bliss said awkardly as she didn't expect that to happen, then she ranged the bell again. "Look, I'm not looking for any trouble, I just... Need a little guidance." 

"Guidance? From a person who's evil?" She said angrily.

"Hey! You do get to tell me how to live my life!" Bliss yelled back, then calmed down, "sorry, it's just I can't control it..." She said in a nicer tone, "that's why I came to you, searching for strength and happiness." She bowed down.

"How can I trust you?"

"It was worth the shot. Thanks for your time anyway Rainbow Shine." Bliss upsetly turned around.

"You, know my name?" She said.

"You and Chrystal used to be best friends, that was until December 25 of course...." Banana Bliss sighed.

"What happened that day? Why doesn't Chrystal wanted to see anymore?" Rainbow Shine asked.

"I... I don't want to talk about it, I should be going already." Bliss started walking down the stairs.

"Wait!! Knowing my best friend Chrystal and you came here to search knowledge, I will be happy to teach you." She let her in.

*5 minutes later*

"So what brought you to come here?" 

"Well, a friend told me, and, I'm going against this person named 'Elphina Lightning' and... I'm just not strong enough, and she has captured my friends." Bliss told her.

"And you've tried to defeat her?" Rainbow Shine asked.

"Tried here and there, it just feels like she knows my every move!" Bliss said.

"Come..." She grabbed Bliss's hand and took her to her backyard. "I am going to be your trainer today." She said, "If you want to defeat her, you really have to put effort in it... Meet my daughter Ribbon Wishes, you'll be practicing with her."

"First-" Rainbow Shine continued, "-Calm down and think nothing."

"I've tried that, it's not going to-"

"Think nothing, say nothing. Let out all your worries and take a deep breathe." Rainbow Shine said and Bliss did what she asked. "Okay, now you have to tire them and find their weakness."

"And how will I do that?" Banana Bliss asked.

"What do they rely on? Find it, but don't aim for it." Rainbow Shine said, "Things will get harder if they know you know their weakness, just play it off cool."

Bliss drew out her sword and swung it into Ribbon Wishes, but she backed off one step and missed. *Growls* Banana Bliss started swinging more angrily and faster, she jumped fiercely in front of her, but Ribbon Wishes barely moved to dodge.

"I'll show you!" Banana Bliss yelled, jumped again but Ribbon Wishes used her wings as a shield and blocked Bliss's attack, she then fell back to the ground hard on her back. *Ribbon Wishes yawns*

Rainbow Shine gets off from her seat and walks towards Banana Bliss, she looks down to her and says, "anger just isn't the key Banana Bliss."

*Panting* "You... Make... It look, so much easier." Banana Bliss said out of breath.

"Let me help you up." Rainbow Shine pick her up from the ground, "The key to winning a battle, is to not get angry, anger is a part of you that you can't control. This is why anger could be used to weaken your enemy."

"Why didn't you... Tell me that, before." Banana Bliss said in pain.

"Learn from your mistakes Banana Bliss. Now, if you want to have good reflexes, you can't just be able to see, but hear with your ears." Rainbow Shine said.

"Um?.." Bliss said confused.

"Another key to winning is open your ears and feel where your enemy will go next. This will help on times of darkness and illusions." Rainbow Shine said. "That would be easier since you have fox ears."

"There was something that I haven't told you, about me..." Banana Bliss looked into her eyes and sighed of tiredness, "...Im... Not just a fox, I'm part..."

"Werewolf?" Rainbow Shine asked.

Banana Bliss took a deep breathe and admit the truth, "Yes, I'm a werewolf... And, I can't control my actions or feelings, someone is going to get seriously injured because of me. My magic get out of hand and I can't fix it."

"Your hair is turning, galaxy." She said.

"It gets like that when I'm near transformation..." Bliss yelled but then it stopped, as she calmed down and lowered her voice she told her "... I guess I really am evil, just waiting for a time to cause another bad memory." She sat down and cover her face with her knees.

"Want to come inside? The weather is starting to pick up, it's going to start pouring here." Rainbow Shine said to her, looking up to the wild clouds.

"I just want to stay out here for a bit... Alone, by myself." Banana Bliss sighed.

"I got hot chocolate..... And hot tea inside." Rainbow Shine said as she realized about the chocolate thing.

"I'll be there in a sec." Banana Bliss told her, then Rainbow Shine left her and went inside. Banana Bliss then starts talking to herself, "I know you said it's good being different, but this power is changing me, it's controlling me. When the full moon comes out, I'm going to be a monster, I'm...." She then walked inside, soaking from the pouring rain.

"Would you like a towel?" Rainbow Shine asked, "Here, sit down." She made a sit for her on the couch.
