Xiao Shin went unnoticed by the guests of the party for about half an hour. All the attention was directed into greeting Fang Qingmo and the girls were fawning over him. Xiao Shin was still watching from afar at the same spot.
'Oh... should I have greeted the host of the party? I was supposed to greet guests. I guess he wasn't offended--gha--!'
A sudden electric shock caught her off guard. It was less painful than usual though. Xiao Shin scanned the room. Her eyes landed on a group of girls that stared right back at her. One of them was holding a phone.
'Why do they have sister's phone?!'
The group of girls had Xiao Mei's phone, but Xiao Mei wasn't there. Xiao Shin really wanted to go and break the phone. However, the possibility that Xiao Mei gave them her phone was high.
'I just have to endure it-AH!'
The pain got worse! Xiao Shin knew that there was a switch that went from green, yellow, orange, and then red. She almost felt like she could breathe! The pain concentrated around her neck.
Soon the shock spread out and it felt like hundreds of ants biting her skin! Xiao Shin couldn't take it and tried to look casual when she walked out of sight. She ran to the bathroom as soon as no one was around.
The girls must have got bored when she walked away, because the shocking stopped in a matter of minutes.
Xiao Shin let out a sigh of relief. Luckily for her the bathroom was empty. She wanted to adjust the collar and check for injuries. She leaned over the sink and faced her neck to the mirror.
clink-
Xiao Shin pulled the fabric covering it. Her skin was still feeling hot under the collar and she tried to make it a little looser. It was a failed attempt though.
sssshhhhh~~~~
The most she could do was pour water under her collar and hope she wouldn't get shocked before the water dried. Covering the collar back up, Xiao Shin was about to walk out the door before she stopped. A weird feeling engulfed her.
THUMP!
Xiao Shin fell to the ground!
"wncifh#rj##ejdi#djksjx#i! d#jdsnd#ie."
'who's that? A guy...?"
She tried to reach out to him, but pasted out before she could do anything. It was Mo Shin that was talking on the phone. He had secretly followed Xiao Shin because something didn't feel right when she walked off.
When he saw her faint he quickly contacted Fang Qingmo for help. (What he was actually saying when Xiao Shin fainted)
"Fang, the girl from before fainted in the bathroom! I'll take her to the villa."
Before Fang Qingmo responded, the call hung up. Mo Shin, already picked Xiao Shin up and took a back exit. In the car, Mo Shin called a doctor to the villa before hand.
Drip- Drip- Drip-
A small stream of blood dripped out of Xiao Shin's mouth! It only made Mo Shin panic more. He was a pretty nice person to begin with and didn't like blood all that much. He made one more call to Fang Qingmo.
"Blood started dripping out of her mouth! I'll be back after the party."

'Agh! A splitting headache!'
Xiao Shin got up with a headache. But when she looked around, everything around her was pitch black! Even the floor she was sitting on was black. It made her head spin. Questions formed in her mind.
How far did this place go? Where does it end? Why was she here? Most were trivial questions.
GGGGRRRRRRRRRR-----------!!!!
The growl she heard was somehow quiet yet loud at the same time. Xiao Shin turned behind her quickly. Steel bars! They hadn't been there before. But what appeared behind those bars, was a massive creature.
It was completely black, except for the skull it was wearing and the bright red eyes. Large bat-like wings draped to the side of it. Horns that resembled a ram's, attached to the side of its head.
Xiao Shin stared at it. The fear she felt didn't register at all on her facial expression. She kept silent and looked right into its eyes.
"Little girl, we're did you come from?"
"..."
She still kept silent and stared. It was like Xiao Shin was in a trance the moment her eyes stared into the creature's. Unconsciously, her wings formed out of her back. A visible look of surprised was on the demon's face.
"So that's why you're here..."
The demon closed its eyes and almost immediately, Xiao Shin came to her senses. She was clearly confused.
"I dont have the time to explain it to you properly."
After that one sentence, Xiao Shin's headache returned. But this time, it was much worse! She felt some kind of information play out in her mind.
[It doesn't happen often, however, a demon might become trapped inside a body. Most people don't realize it though. Even if a demon got trapped negative affects were uncommon. Although, if a powerful demon were to get trapped, the host would gain traits of the demon one by one. It was most common to gain at least three different traits over the span of a few years.]
"What.. is this?"
Xiao Shin understood the information, but she only had wings and nothing else.
"Curious? You only seem to know of your wings. At least two more traits had been gained. I'll help you find them. My name.... is Ram."
She wanted to ask more questions but her mind faded out and she could here talking.
'Huh...? A doctor?'
"She is alright now, however I couldn't find the cause of the bleeding. There were scars on her back, but they could heal with some medicine."
The doctor was talking to people. They looked familiar. One had glasses and straight brown hair, while the other was quite handsome. Dark blue hair and eyes.
Xiao Shin sat up on the fluffy bed. They finished up a long talk before they finally noticed that she was awake. The doctor came to the side of the bed and held her hand.
"This collar, how long have you worn it?"
Xiao Shin hesitated to answer. Her age shouldnt match up with how she looked, but she wanted to tell the truth. Xiao Shin settled for telling a half true answer.
