just a day (OPEN)

[Rose]

The sun shone brightly casting a ray of light across her pale skin. Rubbing her eyes gently Rose trodded forward out of the dimly lit alley way. She'd only just arrived here and already she hated it. It was far to bright for her liking, give her the much prefered melancholy weather of Radiant Garden! The young archer would have much prefered it.

She sighed softly as she followed th main path down the hill and onto the tram common. Well she was here wasn't she, she supposed she better start searching. Biting her lip softly she let out a shallow breath and continued in her path.

"Come along Orion," she said softly, smiling gently at the tiny black cat that followed her footsteps.

[Fright]

Today, a stroll was in order. All the scheming and plotting against the Organization was starting to make his head hurt. Hope had been a big help but he still needed a break. The Nightmare Pariah made he way across the roofs of Twilight town, unaware of most everything below him. MOST everything. A girl below him caught his eye. Could it be...? He asked himself, thinking of the girl he left behind. Slowly, quietly, and undetected, he started to follow her along the rooftops, hoping to get a better look at her.

[Rose]

As the day wore on, she found herself searching all across the sunny town. Yet every person she quizzed on her brothers presence all returned with the same shake of a head or sad frown of no. Rose was about to give up when she a strange feeling over came her.
Something didn't feel quite right, biting her lip nervously Rose's eyes darted across the tram common suspiciously. Nobody was around yet she couldn't quite shake the feeling of oddness, and she (like most women) knew when to trust her intuition. She reached carefully for her bow not quite grasping it but keeping it in arms reach.

"Keep your eyes open," she muttered to the tiny cat which only mewled at her in return.
Her eyes softened at how silly she must have looked and for a moment she even comtemplated leaving her bow. But she knew that wouldn't be the best of ideas. Continuing down the path she found herself faced with a hole in the giant brick wall, she turned to look at her cat before she shrugged her shoulders and scooped him up in her arms before she proceeded through the hole and into the dense forest woodland.

[Xedrrik]

A portal opened up right in front of Rose and out stepped Xedrrik. The look in his eyes was the same as every other Nobody that was in the Organization. The I'm-going-to-rip-your-heart-out look. "Good Evening, Mrs. Rose." He started politely, indicating that he somehow knew her name. "I am terrible sorry, but I require something of yours. Something quite precious."

[Fright]

Fright heard what Xedrrik said and immediately jumped down. When he had said her name, he knew who it was, and he had to protect her. "Leave her alone, ignorant filth!" He shouted at the Organization member. "I won't let you still her heart! Fight me, if you dare."

[Rose]

Her eyes widened as the man appeared before her. He was tall and well frightening and for a moment as her emotions lapsed she felt a shiver of fear run down her spine. Immediately she back up and began to reach for her bow.
“Don’t even-” but she was cut off. As another man joined the scene, already declaring to start a fight if the Nobody drew closer. How chauvinistic of him. Yet she couldn’t shake the feeling of familiarity that radiated off of him, his hair and his voice it brought back painful memories of him. Memories that weren’t going to cloud her judgement now! As the two stood staring at one and other she began to reach for the bow and one of her shiny silver arrows. She didn’t know how affective they’d be but they’d have to work...
“Stay away from me.” She hissed her usually soft voice drenched in poison.

[Xedrrik]

Xedrrik let out a hardy laugh. "Well well, if it isn't the pathetic little Pariah That I failed to eliminate. I guess I shall have to finish what I started here and now!" Water and fire swirled around his hands to for his sitar. "Give me all you got fake!"

[Fright]

The Pariah drew the double bladed katana at his side and lunged. Soon the two were locked in vicious combat, but side dealing and receiving major damage. The way it looked, one or the other was going to die.

[Rose]

Rose lowered her bow as she watched the two locked in combat. If she was clever she would have realised that this would have been a perfect opportunity to escape. But she wasn't clever so she stayed, eyes locked worriedly as the two battled on. The man, he was so, but he couldn't be. Ryan had died, he was gone this Pariah couldn't be him, he was just similar. She had to help the Pariah though, he'd protected her now it was her turn.

Loading her bow she took aim at the organization members feet, he was moving so fast, she probably wouldn't even hit him. She shot the first arrow, and winced as it missed its target completely. Frowning she drew slightly closer and fired arrows blindly at her opponent trying her hardest not to hit the pariah.

[Xedrrik]

After getting tired of frighting a Pariah AND having to dodge arrows, Xedrrik jumped back. "Heh, you are lucky I'm lazy. Both of you. Xanidel or the Superior would have run so easily." With that, he opened a portal and ran like a dog.

[Fright]

The pariah dropped to a knee after Xedrrik fled. "Damn Organization members... They maybe sissies, but they don't hit like sissies..." The Pariah half laughed, half sighed. Struggling, he stood back up, turning to face the archer. "At least though, he didn't do to you what he did to me."

[Rose]

Rose watched the black smoke slowly dissapear as the organization member vanished from the sight. She surpassed a laugh, but a tiny flicker of a smile couldn't keep from her face. She tried to be serious, but she couldn't muster the energy.

"A-are you okay,?" she asked as he struggled to his feet. "Here, let me see your wounds." she said Moving in to take a closer look.
For a touch of a second her eyes locked with his and she found herself remembering what it was like. Almost over whelmingly a sense of sadness gripped her, this person he could have been Ryan's double. The only things different were his extremely long hair and the eyepatch which covered the other eye. She blinked back tears and masked them with a soft smile.

"I can heal them." she mumbled.

[Fright]

"You can if you'd like, Rose. I'll be fine either way." He said, smiling back at her and moving his long silver hair out of his face. Then, he realized. She probably didn't recognize him. She probably thought he was dead. Instead, here he stood before her as a freak. A monster. Did he even want her to know? Maybe.

[Rose]

"No please, I insist." she said finding it oddly easy to converse with the silver haired man.
"You saved me," she admitted gingerly "and you remind me of someone." she said a little more quietly "but I have a question first, how do you know my name?".
She closed her eyes and concentrated hard, she was never great at magic but if there was one thing she had at least a smidge of talent in, it was Cura.
"Do you feel better?". she asked softly.

[Fright]

Well... No escape now... he thought. "Much. Thank you. I will answer your question, but first I have one of my own. One that will, more than likely answer yours. Who do I remind you of, Rose?" The Pariah asked, a half sad smile on his face.
