Adalia Hadn't talked to me all morning. I was beginning to wonder if that was a blessing or a curse and sighed. I guess telling her to beat it was pushing a little too far into the area marked NO in big fat red sharpie. I stood up from where I was sitting on my bed packing up the small amount I had with me. I walked over to the room down the hall and knocked softly with one knotted in my hair.
The knob turned and a small white hand pryed open the door. The skin around Adalia's lips was red and irritaded like she'd be trying to pry them out again. A small dribble of blood ran down her chin. I could tell she'd been crying. I really hated this girl, with a burning passion, and yet it still felt wrong to cause pain to come to her. Her lip quivered and I could see the tears still fresh in her eyes.
"We should probably get downstairs with everyone else huh?" I said with my bag over my shoulder. She retreated into her room and grabbed her bag. I reminded her not to forget the Hyaenodon she'd left to wander the grounds. It would come when it was called. She wiped at the blood on her chin. I grabbed her shoulder and pulled her over to me. With an akward kiss around the stiches, I was able to close the open fingernail cuts.
I pulled her down the stairs by the wrist and we almost crashed into a group of people in the other room.
"Oops, sorry bout that!" I said to a little girl. She was with those two demons from last night. I gave them a little wave.
Stretching out my back i turned to Adalia and said, "Im gonna go wait outside, if you need me, come get me. I'll get the over-sized fluffball ready for travel." (refering to te Hyaenodon) I walked outside prepared to search for The dog when I spotted him with a girl about my edge near the edge of the property. She had Long, white hair held back in a ponytail. She wore and elaborate chinese dress that stopped two inches above the knee. Over that was a light looking breast plate(i guess thats the word....) with shoulder armour and these huge twin elbo blades jutting out from her arm connected by gauntlets.
She was scratching the Hyaenodon on the head and it's tongue lolled out. I called out to her.
She turned to me and imediatly turned bright red in the face. "U-uh umm, hi...is t-this th-the prince's c-castle?" she managed. Jeez for a cute girl she sure was shy.
"Yeah, why?" I wondered walking toward her.
"W-wel my name i-is Miwako a-and I recieved this invitation. B-but my m-mon said I had to finish school before I could come so I guess I'm a little l-late..." she stuttered.
I looked her over once. She seemed pretty skilled with the fancy warrior outfit and such but did she just say school? Oh god, dont tell me she was some weirdo who had a secret life of "super woman" outside of school. I chuckled and motioned for her to follow me.
"Does the thinger have a n-name?" she asked pointing to the dog.
"Nope. But you can give him one." I said.
"I already have, I called him Jexx."

ooooookay. Maybe this was normal behaveior for human girls, but down in hell, nobody was this strange. I walked her up to the Castle and told her to go in. I stayed outside with "Jexx" and began poking at him with all kinds of needles that'd help him stay in good health in the upper world.
