My Girl -Miki-

[Bella Setos]

Autumn was here and it was chilly. Bella's pale skin was stained a bit pink in the cheeks where they flushed from the chilly wind. She was wearing a a pair of socks that came up to mid-thigh and were white. She was wearing white gloves, and a black turtleneck sweater with a pair of black shorts that came down to her knees. She wore a red cape, and resembled little red riding hood. The irony of that was that she was actually the wolf of this story. She carried a basket which she had packed herself with enough food for two. she had already instructed Miki to come meet her out here.

In the basket she had a blanket to sit on, and sandwiches, apples, cheese sticks, juice boxes and little mini chocolate bars. She was skipping through the trees that were all golden, red, brown and all the other season colors. The leaves crunched underfoot. She could almost see her breath in the air, and this was all a promise that winter was on its way. She found a spot under an old willow tree. Before setting up though she just had to do something first.

The little blond girl walked right up to the big willow tree. She put her ear to its trunk and took a deep breath. She was trying to listen to it, trying to hear absolutely any noise she could from it. After a second she heard a loud noise that sounded like a banging. She yelped and fell on her butt. She looked up and saw a squirrel holding a nut and looking a bit suspicious. She started a fit of giggles as she realized it was only a squirrel. So there Bella was sitting on the ground giggling at a squirrel. She wasn't worried about anything at all. Just looking for a good time with her buddy Miki.

Miki followed Bella; doing his best to keep up with her but being distracted with the many other nosies. Miki looked around hesistantly at every little crunch of the colorful leaves. He soon calmed himself after all he ws with Bella and she would not let anything happen to him right? Miki sighed as he looked around. His heart stopped as he realized he had lost track of where he was; and Bella was no where in sight.

The once lively forest full of beauty let out a dead silence. Miki had a bad feeling in his gut as the leaves began to shrivel and darken. This was however a hallucination; none of it was real but to Miki it had to be. Miki spun around in pure terror as the area gave off a slight red tinge and the trees bark began ooze red liquid. It looked as if the trees were bleading and the sky was a dark red.

Miki immediatley took off into a sprint leaping over roots that were exposed out of the ground and each one seemed to move in a attempt to tangle him. One of the hand like roots was succesfull in grasping his foot and Miki hid against the ground hard. His eyes began to water and his mind began to fill with the thought of death. But soon everything returned to normal in an instance crash. Everything splt off and dissappeared revealing what everything truely was.

Miki stared infront of him at Bella; Miki still half crying not knowing what to say at that point.

Bella was surprised when her friend suddenly appeared to her in a panic. He was half crying and immediately she got to her feet and went to his side to comfort him. Bella saw things that were not real as well, but they didn't bother her too much. She barely noticed most of the time. However her symptoms did seem to be getting a little bit worse as time went on. As she came to Miki's side she had a small comforting smile on her face. Miki was her little buddy, and she wanted to keep him happy. She was awfully protective of him. She grabbed his hand with her free one and squeezed it comfortingly.

"What's wrong Miki?" She asked in her calmest voice. Bella didn't want Miki to be out here in the woods in a panic. She just wanted him to sit down for a picnic with her. As she held his hand a certain someone's previous words ran through her head, and she blushed a little. Well not a little bit, on her pale skin the red on her cheeks was obvious. She ended up making a strange determined face while she looked at him despite her blush.

What was making her act so strange one might ask? Well in a previous conversation with her elder brother he brought up an interesting idea. That she and Miki were some kind of couple. She had no idea how her brother even got that idea. Did they seem like one? Bella was pretty sure they were just friends. What if she secretly liked him and hadn't realized? Well she didn't want to worry Miki with such thoughts. She was now determined to keep her mouth shut and not worry him. Hopefully he wouldn't notice anything different. Like maybe that strange spark in her eye and her pink cheeks. She was making the same face as some determined kid at the toy crane, but that wasn't too noticeable... right?

Miki looked up at his she were friend. He was always curious why she was so nice to him not at all like the others, un-trust worthy, un faithful, scary. Sure Bella was scary as a were wolf but Miki would is trying ith all his might not be scred of that one little thing as long as it meant he could be her friend. Miki attempted to smile back but blushed with nervousness; smiling wasn't his thing.

Miki looked at her; getting to his feet first before replying. "N-nothing I'm ok" Miki replied to her wiping the little tears that managed to escape from his eyes from his cheek. Miki tilted his head slightly almost like a curious a dog. Was Bella blushing? Miki wasn't sure why she was blushing and a part of him wanted to develope his telekenis further just to read her mind but that would take to much practice and the thought of his powers scared him. He knew now he had powers but just didn't know ho to control them odd little miki.

Miki could see her blush but he was blushing too; she was holding his hand afterall. A shy boy with a girl's hand of course he would be blushing.

Bella sighed in relief. Everything was okay then? That was a good thing. She didn't want to have Miki all worried. she was different from other werewolves in a lot of way. She lacked that desire to fight for a better rank. She was perfectly fine with being the smallest and weakest of her family. well that wasn't exactly true. Bella was extremely fast, and if she really wanted to she could easily be as strong as every other werewolf. She wasn't thrilled by the idea of fighting and violence though.

The little blond peace keeper held up her basket. "I brought us some food. you want to set up the picnic right here?" She smiled and was now acting normal again. Smiles and kindness were Bella's thing. Not fighting or being scary. Although she couldn't help it that she had been born a werewolf and was naturally appalling to the humans. She was born in these shoes, and she liked walking in them for the most part. meanwhile something always settled at the semi-back of her mind. She was always thinking of it but it never really surfaced very often.

What was Bella always sort of thinking about? Well of course it had to be her twin brother. She had always been a worrier but this was actually very legitimate. This was a real problem she hoped to solve. Of course there were other problems that would be easier to fix. Like a grumbling stomach. She knew it had nothing to do with fixing the real problem, but maybe this was good enough for now? she enjoyed her time with Miki, it seemed less lonely this way. She didn't feel so bad when she had her friends and family around her. But still that gaping hole, that the Scarlet Rose had made in her life, stared back at her.

Bella was indeed not like other people. She was always so sweet. Her name was perfectly fitting for her. The kindness she showed people was something beautiful, although it did sometimes go unappreciated. It was hard to catch her complaining about such things though. There were worse pains in life she was sure. Even the way she thought was different. The girl didn't go out of her way to let people know she was crazy. She didn't want them to treat her differently so she kept it very "hush, hush" She did her best to ignore the little things that were supposedly not there but often times she did ask if someone else saw the same thing just to try to keep a grip on reality. It was easier to go through things with a little moral support after all.
