(Azriel can't understand her)

(Frickity fracking heck sorry)

(It's alright, Language Barriers are hard to write around)

“I’ll try to sleep but I can’t promise anything! Night” Bella laid down but kept stroking Breeze.

_{I think so}

_{we all know that Bella ain’t sleeping.}

Clare settled down to watch the world move out side the cave, Mira put her head on Clare's lap and she pet the tiger absent mindlessly, She had another reason of not sleeping, she had to keep the cat's going, they would most likely freeze with out their warmth.

Arabella looked at Clare, why couldn’t she figure Clare out? She was a mystery. She didn’t bother figuring out Azriel, Iris was scary af, but what was Clare? She stared at the other humans back before deciding to talk to her. She walked over and sat down next to Clare. “Hey. Wanna talk? I’m not going to sleep if you talk or no, if you were wondering.” Turned to look at the girl, her face glowing in the fire tigers light. She was really pretty. Why couldn’t Bella be?

Clare sighed, "I suppose, what about?" She stared out at the rough landscape around them. It was so unlike home, Home, one place she desperately didn't want to be, it was surprising Bella didn't recognized her, surprising and refreshing.

“What was life like before this. I want to know who you are. All I really know is that your name is Clare, you have an amazing sense of fashion and you love Crackers.”

Clare answered the question with another question, "Have you heard of the Errol's?" Her family was one of the most known in Craisio, the Errol's were a political power house with the money and business to back them up. They owned most of the major companies and almost all the smaller ones were off shoots of their empire.

Bella’s eyes widened. “Your an Errol? What was that like?” Wow. Clare did not seem like an Errol. What was life like to be so rich?

Clare grimaced, "It was like living in a prison, I couldn't go any were alone, I was always being watched, friends weren't an option, all of my relationships were tactical moves, that boyfriend I supposedly had, was a publicity stunt. Every thing I did was carefully calculated and monitored. So I ran off, I stocked up on supplies stored them up in my bag, and took everything with me, I traveled out with some traders and never went back." She paused, "That was 5 months ago."

“Wow. That’s-thats awful. I don’t know what to say. I always used to be jealous of rich families, but now I don’t know what to think. I guess I still am. Just a little bit, but I couldn’t have been much better than home. I ran away too- I couldn’t stand to be around my father any more. After my mother died-“ I tear slipped down Arabella’s cheek as she looked away. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be complaining after you just told me about your awful life.”

Clare shook her head, "My life wasn't Awful, I had parents who loved me, an education, opportunities every way I looked, My parent's never knew that it was hard for me, I never told them. After my brother died they just grew paranoid, I couldn't form my own relationships because what if I picked the wrong people. Don't apologize for your story, it's a part of you that you can't change." Clare ran her hands through Mira's flickering fur, "My past doesn't make yours any less bad."

Bella turned to look at Clare, “I’m sorry about your brother. I know what it’s like to have a loved one die. Your past sounds kind of awesome- loving parents, opportunities. I wish I had that.” She wiped her eyes trying to push away tears she hadn’t realized were there. “What was your boyfriend like?” The human put air quotes around the word boyfriend. “You don’t have to tell me. Just wondering.”

"He was fine I guess, we didn't really know each other, we didn't talk he was only with me when we were in public so, it wasn't bad I just didn't have the chance to date anyone else." Clare said with a shrug.

“That sounds weird. Do you even want a boyfriend?” Bella questioned. please say no. She couldn’t help but wish.

Clare glanced at Bella then replied, "I had more then one fake relationship, the one I just told you about was the first one, I didn't know him but I did want to be with someone else, but I hated the second relation ship even more." Clare paused, "The Second relationship was devastating I hated that our relationship because I actually liked him, I have ever sense I was a little kid, he always treated me like a human being instead of a bartering chip, he was my best friend. I hoped that when our parents arranged the relationship it might become real." Clare remembered how happy she had been when they proposed the idea, "I was a fool, all it did was tear the one friend I had further away from me, he became distant and never talked to me unless we had to appear together, then It was like I had my friend back, but it was never real, he was a different person when we weren't being forced together, cold and correct."

Bella features softened. “Do you wanna hug or… I don’t know.”

Clare laughed, "It's alright I'm not much of a physical contact person, but thank you."

As you're talking you feel a light breeze gently brush past you. Strangely, it doesn't come from the gathering storm outside but from within the cave. If you choose to inspect the cave further, you will find a tiny hole in the furthest corner. It's dark and so small you'd have to crawl through. As you approach you hear what sounds like whispering. Detached and silky and as if there are many voices. It beckons you forward. You feel compelled to follow but the choice is yours.

Clare felt a light breeze brush bast her face, but it was coming from within the cave, she stood and beckoned for Mira to fallow, Girl and tiger approached the back of the cave where they found a small opening.She felt an urge to fallow the noise, she looked back at Iris's sleeping form and Azriel curled up under her wings, Should she leave them?

Arabella stood and followed Clare. the breeze. Where was it coming from? When Clare stopped, Bella kept walking in a trance-like-state. As she neared the back of the cave, she began to hear voices. They were detached and silky and Bella felt like they were calling to her. She walked to the corner and saw a small hole, but big enough to crawl through. She looked back at Clare. Should she follow?

Clare pulled Bella back from the hole, she didn't like how the girl had reacted, "That's not natural, we should probably ignore it, if it wants to lure us in there, it's probably not friendly." Clare turned back to the entrance and felt the pull of the wind, she shivered, definitely not natural.

“I- yeah. I don’t wanna get in any more trouble and I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Arabella turned to look at her friend.
