“Cold,” the voice was barely a whisper, tinted with pain. Dull green eyes stared emptily at space, scarlet hair brushed against flushed skin. A small body was pressed against a wall, her arms tightly hugging her legs. The cold was unbearable. It reached down to her very core, dampening her senses as well as her soul. It only made her want to get rid of this feeling of dread. She just wanted the feeling to go away so she could numbly walk through her life. The only way she could get rid of it, was to use [i]it.[/i]

A raspy bark of laughter left her mouth as she squeezed herself harder. No, she wouldn’t let it win over again. “No, no, no, no, no, no,” she muttered as her fingers dug into skin, drawing blood. She forced herself to get help. The ‘help’ told her she would have to fight this herself. She wasn’t going to let [i]it[/i] control her again. She was -

A long sigh left her as she lifted her head to look up at the blue sky, the wind dancing around her. She was currently on a roof top, taking a break after a run-in with some player killers an hour ago in the West District, or was it the South?

Her lips pulled down in a frown as she looked on. “Ne, you two shouldn't be fighting,” she suddenly said. Surprised at her own words, she chuckled and promptly left the roof by landing on a couple of boxes beside the house. Talking to birds! She should really get some friends and perhaps a guild. She laughed again, her hand reaching up to brush a few strands of hair from her eyes as she straightened herself. Without another minute passing by, she began to walk through the crowded streets.
