it's been  42 day's since Jorden died in my arm's. The pain never goes' away it's like a snake curling around an already dead heart. I get out of my small cot in a room with twenty or so other's. Walking across the sleeping quarter's to the locker room going to my locker number 24 grabbing my towel and going into the shower room. Which is empty at the moment probably because of the time. I haven't been able to sleep more then 100 hours in the past 42 day's. "hey gifted?" someone call's from the door's I turn wrapping the towel around my naked body. The pink in my hair is fade going back to my natural strawberry blounde. A Asian girl with dark brown hair come's in also wrapped in our standard faded pink towel's."who are you?" my voice come's out as a harsh whisper from under use. I haven't payed attention to anyone's name's in this place only that a few of them are taken each night. The girl walk's over to the first shower head across from mine.Throwing the towel to the bench across from us just out of the water's reach. I notice a large cherry branch in blossom in between her shoulder blade's Japanese symbol's etched between the blossom's "love make's you stronger" I translate. She turn's back to me water running over her body and pooling at her feet before running into the drain. "you speak Japanese?" she asks smiling. I nod it was an elective at Isfeld. "I never knew what it meant but I guess that's what you get for telling the tattoo artist to do anything" she smirk's "what's your name gifted" for a moment I want to lie use a fake name but I don't have the energy to lie...I do change one thing though to honor  Jorden "magnolia fey" I say flatly. "my name is kitsune "she smile's "named after the fox in Japanese mythology" "do you mind me asking why you don't speak the language if you have it tattooed on your back?" she frown's at the question "I didn't want to learn "she sigh's then continues "my parent's were both born in japan but when they got married they moved to America and that's where I grew up...so it's my own fault I can't speak my own language" I nod understanding "it's a hard one" I sympathize. She smile's "yeah" she agrees then look's up into my eye's "I couldn't help but notice you aren't sleeping just thought I'd check in with my bunk mate" oh, she's the one above me. I drop my towel and fold it putting it on the bench and turning the water on the hot water soothing the stress and anxiety from this subject. "um yeah I'm all good" I play with my hair twisting it around my finger Jorden's smiling face flashing across my mind emeaditly followed by his glassy eye's blood stained hair and shirt. "whoa you sure you just went really pale" no I'm not sure.my mind whisper's to me. "yeah I-I'm s-sure" don't cry magnolia then you'll have to talk about it. "you'll have to talk about it eventually" the little voice say's in my mind. "why not now" I let a tear spill from my eye. "ok" I whisper. "what?" kitsune asks concerned. I look across the room and meet her gaze "my...friend was killed 42 day's ago and I guess I just can't get him out of my head" she smile's sympathetically "then don't embrace the spirit welcome it" tear's are spilling from my face joining the rest of the water on the cold tile floor. Kitsune what's over to me placing a cold wet hand on my shoulder "embrace the spirit magnolia" I nod slowly taking down the wall I put up to keep these thought's from my head all the thought's of Jorden. Kitsune smile's "when you have let the spirit in fully you will feel better." she say's then walk's back to her side of the shower. image's pour through my mind showing and then being replaced with a new image. "I'll never finish falling in love with you Greenberry" he pecks my lips. a blush explodes on my cheeks. "you-you love me?" he smiles "what do you think?" I shrug "Nah jorden fey falling in love...ridiculous" he smirks "oh really?" I push him playfully "yes I stand by my decision" I turn. jorden sigh's "there really is no one like you Greenberry" I spin "oh really? "his face changes then. vulnerability covers his features and he blushes lightly "it's just when I first knew I love you I realized I've never loved anyone as I love you magnolia". he pushes a loose strand of hair behind my ear." oh shut up now your making it all mushy". tear's keep rolling down my cheek's as I recall more time's like this one. all my first where with Jorden the first time a boy said he loved me my first kiss my first date (I'm counting the wedding as a sort of date) I feel in love with him so fast and now...he's gone just as quickly. Maybe if i was there i could have stopped it from happening if only i wasn't with Alice and i just stayed with him. "magnolia?" kitsune's voice break's me out of my revere "magnolia your eye's...there glowing and-and your hand's...there on fire!" I looks down to my hand's covered in blue flame. my power's? But the dragon boy? he said they were gone for good. "put the under the water!!!" I look to her. Her face a mask of worry and confusion "I'm fine" I whisper feeling slightly better knowing I have them back. "actually I'm more then fine" i smile thinking of the dragon boy who killed Jorden "I feel much better thank you"
