(WARNING, THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT.) [ON HOLD FOR THE MEAN TIME] ______________ "Let go of me." She uttered coldly at the young man that wrapped one of his hands around her waist, from behind, as they hid in the shade of a dark corner, that could barely contain the two of them. She has never been touched so intimately like this by the opposite gender. The feel of his hand around her waist and the heat from his body, repulsed her. He pulled her closer to his chest and whispered in her ear, in a low but harsh tone; "Shut up! Are you trying to blow our cover!? If you would prefer to be held by those guys, then please, go ahead, be my guest. Just don't implicate me." The man's grip on her waist began loosening and slipping off. When this happened, she noticed that a part of her body was protruding out of the corner. This frightened her. Instinctively, she caught the man's hand before it had completely slipped off her waist and pushed her body onto his. Every part of her behind rested on the man now. "Shameless," He uttered in disgust. His words cut through her like a knife would. It was clear in the way he spoke that he wasn't interested in touching her. In a way, she felt insulted, she couldn't figure out how the man behind her felt disgusted by her body. Her body was to die for. Suddenly, she felt a hard bulge poking the upper part of her butt cheek. Knowing what it was, she smirked. "Vile hypocrite!!" She uttered loudly in triumph. "Aayyoo boys!! I heard a sound coming from over there!!" Immediately they heard this, the smirk on the girl's face disappeared and was replaced with fear. Her heart began beating faster and harder, scared of what was about to befall them. "I told you to shut up." The guy said angry before pushing her off his body and taking off. This scared the girl, she thought that he was leaving her to die, as if cold water had been splashed on her, she regretted her actions... _____________ A story about a young man that meets the many faces reality has.

She replied, as if she was in a great dilemma. 'My Lady, is she reminding you.. of your past self.' Bird asked, with little hesitation. After all, there was a time, when this Phoenix used to be stupid, innocent, carefree yet a complete weakling, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
