A War, A battle, A life{open}

[Noel Rayburn]

A pink haired teenager was strolling on by enjoying her afternoon, oh what a great freezing cold day. She wore a pink jacket, pants, and well bracelet. She had a purse slung over her side, however it was really the umbrella that could be eye catching. She was spinning it round and round in her hands, as if deep in though. She looked forward to the skating ring to see a witch sitting there causing misery. She debated on killing it, for it was obviously one of those invisible witches, that just choose not to be seen and sucking the life around everyone. It was kind of obvious she was just making the skaters seem more demanding in their little tricks and attempts to be cool. By the looks of it, the skaters seemed to become jealousy of each other. trying to beat each other at the skating they were attempting.

Noel wondered how much energy the witch was getting from hanging around there, by the looks of it the witch was in her twenties and was wearing skater clothes. She had a skateboard with her and o occasion she would join the boys and pull an even technical move. Not that Noel really cared to take the time to notice what sort of moves she was pulling, but it was still just a minor notice that noel had. Annoyed she stopped twirling her umbrella and went over to the hot topic sports shop. The place smelled horrible, and not at all fitting to someone with her admirable stature. No, it just happened to have tables outside for customers to sit at and take a creak from all the skating. She decided to sit on one of these tables now.

The table itself was a black metal, very cold to the touch. It seemed as if the low temperatures had frozen the table on itself. She gave a sigh, placed the umbrella on the table, and messed with her nails. So perfectly trimmed and pink. If only they were more perfect, could she have enjoyed herself.

Leather jacket, black hair pulled back, and a black shirt with jeans on, Azuki felt right at home with the boys at the skate park. They all knew her as the Sterling Heir, and admired her for the tricks she was able to do and show them. Even though she didn't use a skateboard, Azuki was still able to teach the young boys how to show off when they want to. But today, Azuki could tell something was different with the boys. They seemed... Jealous. Out of place. Azuki had been able to become friends with each boy with ease, and knew that they were all friends. Friends that never got jealous of each others moves. So why now?

Azuki stopped at a railing and watched a few boys skate around, clearly displaying their jealous to each other in a uncontrollable manner. Pushing herself off, Azuki reached the boys and put her hands on each shoulder, "Come on boys. I know you like to show off, don't mean you need to get jealous." she said, and saw the tension in their eyes fade. Smiles formed on their faces as they skated off saying thank you to the Sterling Heir.

Sighing, Azuki did a few tricks, before she skating off into the Hot Topic Store. For once, Gray wasn't with her. She had told her familiar to stay home for today, and that she was able to take care of herself. Azuki stopped when she saw pink and turned her attention to the girl at the table. A sly smile formed on her lips, "Well, if it ain't the brat that tried to make me feel bad. Why are you here?"

[Noel Rayburn]

A figure had entered the park, the witch seemed to show detest for the black-haired mutt. How great, a dog of protection. As she spoke to the boys, basically breaking off any spell they were on. Noel, turned away, not giving a care about the girl. Apparently, it was true that mutts could see the unseen, how lame. The teenager, when done making the boys feel better, started to head toward the shop and table. Noel had sensed her coming and turned toward where she was coming from. Just great, just to make, Noel's day just that more perfect.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to noel, well it seemed even the dumbest of dogs could notice a bright star. She spoke a sly smile on her face, does she ever get a break? Noel rolled her eyes, and stood up stretching at the same time. As if she didn't give a care in the world, what this so called "female" thought. She was nothing more than a dog, out of her caged fence. "Oh look, it is the mutt of the day. Did not have enough trash? Decided to come here and have more? Well if you must know, I, Noel. Was watching those skaters showing off their fabulous skills. In front of this lame, smelly old shop. personally, I think the mayor should have this place burned to the ground. maybe then they could have a new club or something built over it. Then mutts like you, wouldn't even bother coming to this sewage smelling place. Man, I sure hope the sewage kills you, then I am not that lucky. You however, are much more jinxed than I. Gosh, all this talking. I wish I had something to make you disappear, so I can once again relax on this cool day."

[/color] She looked at her, eyes so cool, as if she could give a care in the world, about this thing in front of her. Maybe she should get it arrested or something, for making the place smell.[/blockquote][/size]

[Azu Sterling]

Azuki smiled to herself as she heard the girl. Once again, rabble on and on about Azuki being a mutt. Putting up her hands in a mocking surrender, "I asked a simple question. No need to get all snobby about it." she said. Azuki smiled and gave a girl and interested, but emotionless look. Honestly, did this girl have nothing better to do than go on and on about herself and try to make others look like low life scums. Cause right now, that's what it was looking like. And honestly, Azuki could really care less. Even if she knew the girl was only being selfish. "You know, if you tried to actually be nice and learn to not be selfish about yourself. You might have some real friends that would want to be around you for yourself instead of your money." she stated, putting her hands down and leaning against the door way of the Store. "I mean, you're pretty and all, but that attitude of yours. Completely ruins it. Trying to not be selfish and maybe some people. Might like you."

[Noel Rayburn]

The other one put her hands up as if in surrender, good she had actually won a battle. Noel had won a battle against this stupid little mutt. Well that was before she started talking, gosh how annoying, now she was asking her, Noel, a question? Then mentions her being snobby, perfect just perfect. "I am not Snobby! Take that back! To stupid mutt scoundrel thing! How dare you suggest a thing! Being Snobby implies I care diddly squat about anything about myself. Well Missy, you are totally absolutely wrong!"

[/color] she practically jumped up and was screaming at the girl, the black haired girl continued on as if unfazed. What she said, did not at all sit well to Noel's stomach. She felt her face turning red, the guilt riding on her heart. This person knew nothing about her, absolutely NOTHING. "You know, maybe you would have friends, if you didn't butt into their business. Besides who are you right to judge? You have known me only for what? Ten minutes, ha what a laugh! A dog that knows a human in ten minutes. What you know all my little secrets and past now? Some kind of freaky mind reader? What think I don't got you all figured out? You are out to help everyone in the world, why? Because you can't even help yourself. You know what, screw you, I had a nice evening till you came here. Don't you dare talk to me again. I don't know what you are thinking by making be "good" or whatever, but I as heck, don't give a care. I have Friends, they come to ALL my parties. You, you are nothing but dirt under my blasted shoes. Something that things it is all mighty by being there, but in all honesty, is nothing but something to step on. So back off and stay away from me. I am not going to be your precious little saving project. Know why? I am free, free to do whatever the heck I want. Also, I am soo much better than you, so just back off!"[/color] she picked herself off the table, her eyes flashing dangerously as if she plans to murder this girl. "I implore you, no, dare you. If you dare to talk and try to convert me ever again, I will take this umbrella and break you in half. Now stay out of my way, you wretched monster."[/color] She practically felt her heart race, her palms sweat, she knew if she get in a few more feet away. She would cry and there was nothing to stop it. Not like she choose this life, besides what could she do about it? She made a wish that became nothing more than a curse.[/blockquote][/size]

[Azu Sterling]

"Oh no, I know you care for yourself deeply. I can see it through the way you act. And honestly, I won't take that back." she said, watching the girl practically jump up out of her seat and yell at her. Azuki let her do what she wanted, took it all in and silently smiled. She had Noel right where she wanted her. And knew that if she pressed on more, Noel would explode. Azuki could just see it. Just below the surface. It seemed Azuki knew how to press this girls buttons.

"No, you're right. I don't know you. But I do know of you. You're Noel Rayburn, a very rich, very pretty daughter. I've known of you for a few years." she stated, putting her hands in her pockets as she spoke. She was calm, collect, unlike the girl in front of her. "Your father was friends with my father for years. Xavier Sterling." she said, watching the female in front of her.

Azuki chuckled at the threat and gave the girl a intense look. "And yet who was it that snatched the umbrella from you? Oh, that's right, I was."

[Noel Rayburn]

The stupid shortie mutt didn't at all pay attention, just kept on talking. As if she was not being serious, this was not at all going as planned. This girl was suppose to flee or at least leave her well alone! This was not fair! "You are DARN right I am a pretty rich girl, now mutt get out of here! The show is meant for me and not you. Go, die somewhere."

[/color] again her words were ignored, what was with this girl? She felt her skin starting to get really itchy and agitated. She started spinning her umbrella in total annoyance. She acted like she knew everything, oh their Father's knew each other? Big whoop! Didn't see that man try and save her Father from himself. Ha! Probably encouraged his destruction, why not? With a lost of a company the stronger the other companies get. Then she has the audicity to laugh at her? This girl was asking for it! Forget it! She is not going to hold back! "DIE YOU MUTT!"[/color] she shouted as lights formed at the ends of the umbrella and headed right toward the stupid teenager. She deserved this death, and honestly. She didn't care if a camera caught it, all it would see is well a random bright light, that would consume all view of the camera. With a few more connections, she has been able to get away, as easily as picking a flower. Oh, so many people she has murdered. This one little girlie deserved to die, ignoring her like that. [/blockquote][/size]

[Azu Sterling]

Azuki chuckled again when Noel agreed with her. Conceded much. She watched Noel as she stated to spin the umbrella. Clearly Azuki was pushing just the right buttons and was annoying the poor girl. Good, that's practically what she wanted and now that's what she was going to be getting. "Conceded people always have a weakness. Your's is just the fact that you don't believe in what you see, and yet you do believe it." she stated simply, watching the umbrella with her gray eyes. Azuki had known what had happened before when she snatched the damn thing out of the girls hands. She fainted, nearly died at that. And right now, Azuki was just about to do it again if Noel. Didn't take care.

When she saw the lights forming and heading towards her, Azuki jumped up and out of the way with ease. A soft, but small whistle escaping her lips before Gray showed up. The gray wolf jumped at Noel from the side, his teeth digging into the umbrella before he twisted and removed it from her grasps. It was then that Azuki moved closer. "Interesting. Trying to kill someone who is willingly enough to be your friend. Hmm.. Is that how you treat your other so called friends Noel?"

[Noel Rayburn]

The other girl annoying just jumped to the side as if the attack mattered not, this had irritated her much. Before she could summon another attack, the stupid girl whistled for the mutt and that stupid mutt grabbed the umbrella and stole it from her.again. "Give that back right now! I mean it, you mutt!"

[/color] she was referring to both the owner and the dog, maybe one would consider and give her the dang umbrella back. "If you must no, noisy little wretched dog, no I do not. Know why? They do not intend on driving my CRAZY!"[/color] with the shout of the word crazy, Noel had actually started head toward the stupid girl to at least pound her with her fists or something. She just wanted her to go away, why did she insist on annoying her? Why didn't she just walk away and leave for good? She was obviously doing nothing but taunts and winning. Noel, she was better than this. She had to be... Why else would.. Would.. John love her? She knew her head dived in too deep, she immediately started shaking it. This was not going to solve anything. She needed this girl to vanish and that umbrella back into her hands.[/blockquote][/size]

[Azu Sterling]

Gray didn't listen to Noel, nor did he care for the stupid girl anyways. He merely went over to Azuki and sat down next to her, giving his human the umbrella. Taking it into her cold, pale hands, Azuki pointed it towards Noel. "I'm tired of your insults little girl." she said, throwing the umbrella onto the top of the roof. Her gray, blue speckled eyes stayed on Noel as she watched her move closer to her. How interesting.. Noel was so easily annoyed and yet, all Azuki was wanting to do was simply talk to her.

"I see I've pushed a button. Sadly, I do not regret it." she said simply. Honestly, she probably did deep down, which gave her sympathy towards Noel but up front. Azuki could give a flying fucks about it. "I think it's about time someone, teaches you a lesson." she said, stepping towards her as her voice grew cold and venomous. "Let's see what you got.. Witch."

[Noel Rayburn]

"WITCH?!"

[/color] was all Noel could shout before she started running toward the annoying little brat of a mutt, aiming to make a punch against her face. She wanted to show this girl just how "witch" she was. Little did this pathetic girl know about the world, about the REAL world. Her long childish pink hair flowed behind her as she went for the strike that will be hardest punch. Rainclouds started gathering, the wind started to grow, it seemed as if a storm had just blown in. Merely out of coincidence, nothing more.[/blockquote][/size]

[Azu Sterling]

Azuki watched as Noel moved closer and closer to her before she moved out of the way. With her skates still on, Azuki was able to move faster and with ease before she stopped. You see, Azuki wasn't going to hit Noel. No, that wasn't her, even for her reputation. Azuki wouldn't hurt Noel, just merely tire her. "Was that suppose to hit me?" she asked. Azuki noticed the storm. Noticed it quite quickly but knew that no one was really controlling it. She knew of witches. Of witch-hunters, and the things that granted wishes. She had learned from Melissa what they were and how dangerous they really could be.

Something dawned on her. Was John under a spell...because of a wish. That Noel had made for him? Blinking, Azuki studied the female in front of her. It could be true. But then again. It was only a guess, nothing more.

[Noel Rayburn]

She just rolled away, in the most ridicules of easy dodges. What was with her!? Noel felt annoyance growing into her very core, she hated this girl with such a strong passion. First she made a move on her man, now here she was TOYING with her!? She was so annoyed and mad she didn't even notice the growing storm, all she wanted to end this girl's life. If only she had glass, a knife, or something! The only thing she had was the umbrella, but the attacks toke too long to warm-up and hit her. Feeling extremely annoyed she just ran at the annoying mutt princess and was hoping to at least get on hit. She started to cry at each time she missed, "Yes! Yes, it was! You stupid girl! Stay still!"

[/color] the rain started to fall around the park gradually in the most graceful of ways, headed right at them. When it reached the area, her dress got soaked, and showed her female body figure a little too well detailed. her hair was soaked and stuck to her no longer flapping in an annoying way. Her dress due to it being wet only slowed her down and just made everything all that harder, yet she did not stop trying to hit the teenager whom she hated so much. Tears started to come harder as her vision blurred and she practically lost all sense of control, she eventually tripped fell to the ground, due to a crooked slab of concrete. The ground she ended up landing on was practically wet and splashed everywhere, only making her figure that much worst. Her silent tears, were now obvious and loud. A witch could probably hear her sadness a mile away. [/blockquote][/size]

[Azu Sterling]

Azuki watched the girl, and saw what she was having to hide. Those tears that were fighting to escape, but Noel was fighting back and at first. It looked like she was winning, but each time she missed Azuki, it got harder for Noel to keep the tears away. Moving away from each move, each attack that was sent to her, seemed to shake Noel. Watching closely, Azuki nearly let Noel have her victory but by the time she has made up her mind, rain had come and was soaking each of the females to the core.

When Noel fell to the concrete ground, Azuki removed her jacket and wrapped it around Noel's shoulders. "Come on.. Let's get you out of the rain. I have a car we can go to and warm you up." she whispered, but didn't move. Azuki didn't want to hurt the girl, and right now, that seemed to be fragile state she was in. "Let me help you for once Noel.. I'm not trying to hurt you, cause if I did.. I would have already."

[Noel Rayburn]

Noel felt a warm jacket wrap around her figure and the fingers of the one person she hated most. She slapped the jacket and hand away, wishing she would just leave her be. "No! go away! "

[/color] was all she could say, from the chocked up throat. She forced herself to get up without any help, if Azuki did offer help she would have just kept fighting and fall back down to the ground. She was completely soaked and completely freezing, her fragile body should not at all be in this sort of weather. She really should eat right, modeling diet just not the right diet. When she was finally able to stand up, she used her umbrella to keep her upright. Her whole body craved the help of another, wanting friendship and love. However her stubbornness and pride, refused it. She just kept walking in the direction of her home. Nothing but an umbrella to hold up her freezing cold fragile body. It seemed a more stubborn women was going to have to step in and shake her to her senses, anything to get that pride to understood. That she did have an ally, just under her snobby nose.[/blockquote][/size]
