Touched by the Red Moon [Private]

[Maxen]

Ami takes it reluctantly. She was obviously very untrusting. She said nothing as she left with Iara

Iara walked outside with Ami in tow. Now that she was free of the restaurant, she wasn't sure what else she wanted to do other than ensure that Ami would do as she wished. She turned around. "Ami, would you do anything to change the life you have now," Iara asked.

 

[Maxen]

Ami rubbed her ired eyes. "I guess so."

 

[chiannehere]

Iara cocked her head to the side. "Are you not sure? Would you rather not be working five jobs and living with that deadbeat father of yours?" The day had already gone well into the afternoon, yet it felt like where they were standing was empty of people.

 

[Maxen]

"No." She said looking down.

 

[chiannehere]

Iara crossed her arms and leaned on one leg. "Hmm, very well. I will grant you one wish, in exchange for your pure, unadulterated belief in me. I'm limited by certain wishes, like wishing someone back to life, but there are ways."

 

[Maxen]

"Let me stay with you?" She said. "That's my wish."

 

[chiannehere]

Iara paused, almost taken aback. Out of all the wishes she could have asked, she picked to stay with her? Ami could have willed her father to die, or for money, or for everyone to forget her, but she chose to live with her. She made a small noise in her throat. "Very well. In exchange, you belong to me." Iara gave her hand out for her to shake, as a sign of consent.

 

[Maxen]

She shook her hand, her face blank, as usual for her.

With a small smile, Iara led her to where she lived. It was a small apartment right in the middle of the city. How she came about this home, it took a while. She entered her apartment and quickly went to the kitchen. "Do you want some tea?" she asked, and then added, "I'd like to know you a lot better."
