Otome

-Snow-

I hate baths with a passion. They suck so bad…I was happy when it was over. I got dressed in my normal skintight tank top that most people would deem too short and my baggy pants that I shoved into my boots. I was still a bit cold from the bath so I threw on one of my long sleeve jackets that stopped about half way down my ribs and was also tight against my skin.

Sighing as I tried to dry may hair a bit more then I threw it back up in the high ponytail that I had it in earlier so my still semi wet hair was up off my neck.

“Snow?” I heard Candy call and I wandered out of my room to hers. “Will you please help me?” She asked.

I opened the door and saw the kimono that must have been in the closet. I got her wet when I ran in here earlier. I smiled a little as she was struggling with putting on the kimono. I walked over to her and helped her out with the rest of the kimono on.

“Thank you.” She answered as I went over to the dresser and grabbed the hair stick that was laying there and then went back over and pulled her hair up gently and fixed it into a bun with the hair stick.

“You’re welcome. I’m happy I could help.” My smile faded a little “You look beautiful.”

She turned around with a light blush on her face. “You don’t look to bad yourself.” She smiled up at me.

“How long do you have this time?” I asked curiously.

“It’s the weekend for me so I can bee here for a while.” She answered and I perked up y ears.

“That’s great!” I smiled brightly. “Oh did you want to go for a walk or something?” I asked.

“Hum…Oh actually I was to talk to Lady Amora really quick if you don’t mind I’d like to see something.” She said and I frowned a bit.

“Alright. We’ll go see the goddess first.” I sighed a bit disappointed.

She booped my nose and I blinked then looked back at her. “Don’t be like that. It shouldn’t take too long I promise. But you can’t be in the room with me.”

“What? Why?” I was really confused by that.

“It’s girl stuff.” She answered and I pouted. “Fine.” I took her hand and lightly pulled her with me.

Off to the goddess room we go. As we walked towards her room I heard something coming from Talon’s room. It almost sounded like rough housing. The only person who usually rough houses with him is me. “Hold on I need to check something.” I said and we went to Talon’s room instead. I opened the door and Talon along with another spirit were fighting.

“Oh no Talon!” Before I could react Candy had rushed in past me and tried to help Talon but ended up getting scratched in the process. She stumbled back and The spirit started towards her. I grabbed the spirit as Talon got between her and the spirit.

“That human looks tasty.” The spirit chuckled and I slammed it up against the wall. “What the hell are you doing here? You’re one of Azar’s spirits aren’t you?” I asked him.

He laughed against. “So are you. And he heard that there was a human here and he wants it and you.”

“Like hell that is going to happen.” I spat back at it.

The thing brought it’s claws up to his lips and licked his nails that Candy’s blood was on. “Her blood taste good you should try it.” I couldn’t take it any more and stabbed my hand through his chest and right through the things heart.

“Candice!” Talon said and I quickly turned around and ran over to them.

His claws were poisoned if I didn’t do something now she was going to die. “Talon get an antidote from the infirmary.” I said and ripped the rest of the sleeve that was torn off.

“S-snow.” Candy said weakly and I took her arm and bite her. I felt her flinch from the pain I was causing her but I had to suck out the poison and give Talon time to get the antidote.

I pulled away from her arm and spit out the blood that I had drawn out with the poison then went back to trying to get the poison out. Talon was back quickly with the antidote he gave it to her as I pulled away from her arm once again then took the sleeve that I ripped off and tore a chunk of it and wrapped it around the cut. “You’re going to be okay.” I told her.

“Snow, everyone’s gone.” Talon said quietly to me.

I looked at him shocked. Azar really went as far as to take everyone. “No…” I said.

“You know where you’re going to head there first. And try to find everyone. I’ll be coming shortly.” Talon told me.

“Right.” I nodded and stood up. “Candy please stay here and stay safe. I’ll be back I promise.”

“Be careful.” She told me before I left the room. I knew that Talon would be able to follow my sent so I wasn’t worried about him. I was worried about Candy following him and her getting sick from the poison.

I couldn’t think about it I had to trust in Talon and that Candy would stay at the castle. My main focus should be finding everyone else first. If I remember the lay out of his manor correctly I should be able to find them easily.

Azar’s manor wasn’t that far away and I knew the back ways into the manor where I wouldn’t get caught. Which I went into the trees and got over the wall with ease avoiding any guards that I could to back it to the holding area.

I was right they were there. “Snow.” Light said kind of quiet but I could still hear him as he put his hands on the bars.

“I’m going to get you out.” I said and went to the other side to start to work on the lock.

“Snow look out.” Vic said and I turned around to see a large group of Azar’s spirits coming closer to me.

“I’ll be okay.” I stated and then sprinted towards the large group of spirits. I didn’t kill anyone I just knocked out as many as I could. Then someone grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me down onto the ground.

“How did I know that you would show up to save them?” I heard Azar chuckle then the spirit that had my hair jerked my head up and Azar was in front of and between me and the cage that was holding everyone. I don’t know where the Lady Amora was but I prey that she didn’t get caught as well.

“Oh that’s right because I know you too well.” He snickered and his freezing fingers tightly gripped onto my face.

“You don’t know me.” I glared at him as I slowly moved my hand towards my boot to get my small knife that I always kept hidden away.

“Oh but I think I do. And you have the sent of a human on you. Where are you hiding the human Snow?” He asked and I pulled my face away from his grasp and quickly pulled my knife out of my boot and brought it up to my hair.

“I’m sorry.” I muttered to everyone then cut my hair breaking the seal that was keeping my darker side in check.
