I breathe in the scent of the ocean. The house was clean and looked inviting yet mysterious. I look around, the walls where pure white and had seashells on shelves and photos of Faith and Lucía smiling. I felt a pang of jealousy. "Nyx, you can stay in my room for tonight!" Faith squealed taking my hand dragging me up the stairs. She opened her door pushing me inside, her room was breathe taking. The walls where a blue grey and had photo's of sunsets and other random places on there. Books of different places around the world layed scattered across her floor. "Um you and your adoptive mother are to nice... thank you." I say sitting on her bed. "No problema, but whats the real story? What were you doing in that ally?" she asked crossing her arms closing her door softly. "Your going to think I'm crazy," I say crossing my arms to. "Maybe, but I like crazy," she said grinning. "Ok so" I start and by the time I finish the story tissues are all over her floor. "Wait you said there was like some sort of prophecy or like legend or whatever? Do you know the whole story?" she asked her eyes widening. "Um I'm still trying to figure it out" I say kicking my legs. "Well if I'm correct then Lucía's crazy talk isn't crazy after all. She is a martial arts tutor and she says she comes from a long line of guardians and she's training me now to protect the black rose or whatever." she said excitement growing in her eyes. "So your suppose to be like my protecter?" I ask liking the idea already. She nods, pacing back and forth in front of me telling me that we must tell her adoptive mother about this if we want some real help. "But first a good nights sleep." Faith said handing me my bags. We change into pajamas and she falls asleep quickly.
