Aura was surprised at the sudden chance and looked around. "W-wow! I didn't know you had such powers! That's cool thank you so much Zaylic!" she smiled then paused and blushed a little at his comment. "O-oh.... well... I hadn't planned on sleeping that long... I'm not sure what to do." she said softly still feeling a little blush on her cheeks.

Zaylic stared at Aura as he saw her face turn red. "Are you blushing? Why are you blus.....You thought I was going to do something with you? " He said astonished where her mind had went. He had wondered if they where going to water her garden or looked through books. Or maybe she would take him around town. He hadn't thought what she had thought apparently however if she felt that way he was happy to oblige. He leaned in and kissed Aura as he felt the slight connection again with her. He let the connection take hold as he transformed into a human again. He slowly wrapped his arms around her enjoying the feeling of her soft warm lips on his. He didn't care about Damien at this point at he tighten his arms around her just wanting to enjoy the moment before it faded. He slowly pulled away from her as he let her go not wanting to offend her. However her lips were addicting. He stared into her beautiful eyes again as he kissed her again. This time he didn't resit the growing connection he felt with her. He felt alive for the first time in years. He was on cloud nine as he found his way to the couch with Aura. He held her close to him making a vow that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. She was special and had away about her he had forgotten. She made his heart race and long for her. He wasn't sure what was happening to him however he planned on embracing it.


Zaylic just held her for a while just enjoying the feeling of holding her close to him. He didn't close his heart to her this time as he was very kind with her. He was her own puppy and just happy to hold her. After a while things Faded To Black. When he came to the next morning he was still at Aura's house wondering how. He then remembered he had came to check in on her.

Aura seemed to enjoy the closeness but may have allowed that to go too far as she had ended up giving herself to him without thinking. The next morning she awoke sore and tired and a bit later then she normally would due to the late night. She looked up feeling someone wrapped around her and blushed as she saw Zaylic then went a little pale as she remembered last night and felt a pang of guilt that she had allowed herself to fall prey to his advances... even if it did make him happy.

Zaylic looked as he saw Aura wondering why he hadn't felt her wake. He looked as he saw his arms where still around her quickly removing them as he felt nothing again after his memorizing night. He was a doll again after a entire night of being human and feeling the most pleasure he had known since becoming a doll. The memories of Aura from the night before would have made him blush if he had been human. He wasn't going to forget their night anytime soon. He slowly got up and as he quickly fixed himself looking pristine as he once had. He looked around not sure what to say as he saw the guilt in Aura's face. " We should get back or maybe you should wait another day before you come. " He said wondering if she was ok he had noticed some discomfort in her face along with the guilt. " Do you want me to fix you something to eat while you lay here? " He asked wondering if he should help her or just leave. He had thought she enjoyed herself however the look on her face said other wise.

Aurura was surprised when she felt Zaylic get up and slowly sat up holding the covers to her with a blush. "Huh? I'm okay just a little tired is all, really you shouldn't worry. I'll be getting up... I need to shower and get ready for the day... is everything okay though?" she asked a little worriedly since she could tell he seemed a bit upset... had he seen the look on her face? honestly she couldn't help it though... she really hadn't meant to sleep with him

"I'll be out of your hair then." He said as he turned and left her there. He climbed back out of the window he had fell through the night before. He kept to the same path that he had used the night before to lead back to his own home. He didn't bother looking for Aria or Damien as he entered heading for his own room. This time now his workshop. He walked all the way up to one of the last rooms in the second floor. His room was at the very end. He slammed the door behind him as emotions rushed at him upon entering. He fell to the floor as he rested against the door thinking about everything that had happen. He couldn't deal with everything at once however it didn't appear the emotions where going to give him a choice.


Damien had cleaned the entire library. He had it looking even better than he last remembered it. All the books where back where they belonged. He had even found time to clean his own study. He had placed the enchanted robe on the back of his chair in his study area. He wondered if Aura had got caught up in her work the other day. He knew that her work was important to her. He hoped that he might see her again. Sadly he had spent all of the time up to this point just getting the library in order. He wondered how Aria and Zaylic where doing however about right now all he wanted was some rest believe it or not. He had really worked hard to make everything perfect.


Aria laid asleep still in the garden. The flowers kept her company as she slept along with all the fairy folk. They had put a blanket around her and grabbed her pillow from her own room trying to make her more comfortable. They could tell that she needed rest and would not awake for quit a while even still. She looked like a vision as she slept enchanting any with her beauty as she did so.

Aura frowned a little and sighed before getting up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for her day. She soon made her rounds and spoke to some of the mages before gathering the books and finished reading them as she made her way to the enchanted house with a pack on her back with some of her stuff in it. How could she give the others any peace with what she had read? The witch sounded horrifying to her... why did everyone praise her so? It seemed like those she deemed unworthy of love were met with a horrific fate.... what if she couldn't make it in time to save these three? Was there a time limit? Would they just fall apart or vanish or even worse, go mad if she couldn't help them? She felt even more worried as she made it to the gates and pressed her hand on the wall it opening easily to her letting her in where she started to make her way towards the house.

Aria slowly woke as she felt a slight tugging on her arms. She saw some of the fairy folk over head her trying to wake her it appeared. She wondered how long she had slept as she jolted to her feet. She looked around as she saw the house didn't look a sleep. She placed her hand on her hart as she was relieved that she hadn't fell under another sleeping spell. She looked as she saw Aura coming up the path. She quickly rushed to greet her doing her best not to fall. Her doll body was a bit sluggish for her liking but it was what she had. "Aura!!!!" She yelled out as she waited for her at the arch.

"Good morning Aria, how are you? I'm sorry I've been gone so long." Aura smiled softly at the other woman giving her a slight hug feeling the need to for some reason, she felt even though they hadn't talked too much they were already friends so she didn't think it would bother her

Aria giggled as she hugged Aura back. She looked at Aura for a moment seeing that she didn't look as happy as she did the other day when Aria had first met her. "Is something wrong Aura? You don't look near as happy as you did the other day. Did something happen in the village? Or did the elders deny us the right to visit the village? If those are the reasons then please don't worry about us. We have all been here for so long we don't mind staying. Besides I'm hoping that you can at least find someone in the village who can bring us supplies. I would love to start baking and cooking. I wish I could open my own stand and sell to the villagers. I am so excited to start cooking." She said very enthused about it. She was very happy that was easy to see.

Aura smiled as she listened to Aria after pulling away and laughed a little shaking her head. "No the mages said that you guys are welcome in the village, but I may talk to the local market to have someone help me bring stuff here." she explained then sighed a little and shook her head smiling again but this time a little weakly. "No everythng is fine Aria... just a little tired." she explained softly then thought some. "I haven't had a chance to read the records yet... would you mind telling me what you found in that book about the others that were cursed to being dolls? What went wrong?" she asked softly since she guessed Aria had read the book or at least skimmed it.

Aria hung her head as she heard Aura. "Uh....sadly I got pulled into help Zaylic with a protect. I have been sleeping from it. He was very pervasive and I used a lot of my magic to make enchanted robes for us. I had told you about the idea apparently someone else had spell books to. I wonder what else that man knows. He is really a mystery sometimes. Why don't we find you some where to rest and we can go through the books together!" She said as she felt really happy to just have another female around. "I did read the other day with Damien that some of the dolls gave up living. They found no purpose and seemed to just lose themselves. I wonder if that is why the Lady gave us each jobs. However I'm not sure I really believe that. Some of the books have been tampered with. Damien and I noticed it the other day. You can see where they pages have been ripped out and the new ones added. The papers feel different too. "

"That sounds nice, let's go in then and we can read wherever you like best." Aura smiled then thought some. "You know I noticed in the table of contents of some of the books spells that I had once seen in my own book... but that seemed to have vanished when I entered this place... I know that everyone seems to like the witch and look up to her but from what I've read so far... I don't like her at all, I won't tell the guys what has happened in their books but... you didn't do anything wrong, none of you did, but you didn't even curse love or anything.... what happened to you... it was just pure evil." Aura said with a slight frown. "I know you don't remember, but I'm really sorry you had to go through this... that you all had to go through this." she said softly and sadly.

Aria was the only daughter of the great king of Arabia. She was beloved by all her people and seemed to enchant them in every way. Aria had a special bond with her mother the two adored one another and where never seen apart. The only bonds stranger where those of her brother and father. However there was a rival who wanted her mother for himself. He had tried every method to bribe her and even kidnap her. However all attempts had failed.
Finally he had enough and sent the Queen a poisonous sanke hidden in a basket. The guards had open it only to have the snake leap out at Aria out to punish any who got in it's way. Arai's mother Athena jumped in front of her daughter and received the bit instead. The snake quickly slithered away with guards after it. They left poor Aria there as she held her beloved mother trying to understand why this had happen. Her mother died a painful death in her arms and there was nothing that Aria could do.
Her father and Brother had arrived to late to save Aria from the suitor's punishment. The man had hired a beautiful women to deal with the young girl. The beautiful women had spoke the same words to her that had been spoken to Zaylic and Damien. She was transformed into a doll the women just laughed as she watched Aria's brother and father fight for her in vain.
She vanished in a cloud of smoke. Her father killing the suitor that had killed his wife and arranged for his daughter to be taken. The pair searched the lands trying to find Aria and bring her home. However only her brother Aladdin had found Aria in the strange house. He stayed there and fought for her every day only to die in vain.

Zaylic

Zaylic had been a adventurous young Prince. He was known for his bravery and his kindness. However he had one flaw. He fell in love with a commoner. Her name was Issabela. She was the only person he changed his ways for. However his happiness was short lived with his sweet Issabela due to his fathers rule. His father had promised another king Zaylics hand in marriage to the kings beloved daughter. Zaylic didn't get a choice. He had promised to meet Issabela at her favorite spot in the mountains. However that was the day his father told him about the arrangement and forbade him to leave. Zaylic was locked in dugeon to ensure he wouldn't leave.

Issabela waited for Zaylic however fate was not on her side. A powerful storm swept in from the ocean and quickly grew in power. It sent massive amounts of rain.
The area hadn't seen such rain in a long time and the ground couldn't absorb it fast enough. Poor Issabela couldn't out run the rock slide that happen due to all the rain. She couldn't out run it and sadly met her end.
When Zaylic was freed he rushed up the mountain. The locals had gathered and tried to free Issabela's body from the rocks. By the time they had it was to late. The all bowed to Zaylic and everyone appologized knowing how special Issabella had been to him.

Zaylic was struck with grif and held her limp body as he cried though is sadness quickly turned to anger and rage as his father appeared. Zaylic cursed his father and told him that this was his fault. If he had just waited Issabella would still be alive. Zaylic took Issabella in his arms and headed back to the village. Before doing so he told his father he wished he had never been born to such a evil man.

Zaylic never made it home. He had stopped by Issabella's home and apologized repeatedly to her parents. Her parents shoved him out cursing him. Zay went to the cliffs at the edge of the sea as he cursed love and swore he would never fall in love again. That is when the beautiful women appeared. She spoke the same line that the women had spoken to Damien and transformed him taking him away. The sudden disappearance left the king to believe his son had killed himself. This drove the king mad till he finally killed himself out of misery.

Damien

Damien cursed love because he fell in love with a beautiful theif named Zora. She had been working for the rival kingdom and ended up betraying him.
Zora used Damien to gain access to the battle plans and all important documents of the kingdom, She had orchestrated a complete take over of the kingdom from within. It was on Damien and her wedding day that she reveled herself and destroyed Damien's life.

his famiy had managed to kick Zora out and her small band however Damien had no idea. He was cursed on that day A beauitful women appeared out of no where before him when the others had left him in the church. He had swore to never love. The beautiful women told him this. "If you will never love then a doll you will be. Beautiful and handsome on the outside but nothing more. A boy with no heart is but a doll." With those words he transformed into a doll. The beautiful women said some magical words and he vanished along with her. Leading his family to believer Zora had killed him. Witch sent them after her head and the rival kingdom.

Aria stared at Aura as she heard her. "I-I did nothing wrong? You know what happen to me and who I am? I don't remember has everything been a lie?" She said more to herself as she felt her world around her start to crumble again. She had never thought to question why she was here not like Damien had. She had accepted her fate long ago and the witch seemed to be kind to her and teach her. If she had done nothing wrong why was she cursed like this. What had happen to her? She wondered if she was every loved. Was her family nice? Did she even have a family? All of these questions rushed in her head as she wondered more and more who she was. "Did I have a family and did they love me?" She finally asked Aura wanting to know that more than anything. " I know to know my full story would only hurt me, however I just would like to know that one question about my past. And learn why I was cursed like this. I-I thought the lady was my friend."

Aura frowned sadly as she watched Aria and hugged her close. "I'm sorry Aria... I didn't mean to upset you." she said softly then sighed and nodded a bit as she pulled away. "Yes... you had a family that loved you very much, as did all your people, you were from Arabia, you were the princess and you had a brother... but... that's all I want to tell you okay? The only reason you were taken was out of greed... the witch had been hired to steal you away... but... that doesn't mean that she didn't come to care about you, I think she did care and that's why she spent so much time with you... I just think she had the wrong motives at the start." she explained softly then frowned a little. "I am so sorry Aria... i swear i will do everything, EVERYTHING in my power to find a way to break this curse for all of you, you deserve to have a happy life again." she said softly but honestly

Aria simply nodded as she hugged Aura back. "Aura, please you have given me more than most. I know I had a family that loved me what more could I ask for. And I know that you will do your best to help all of us. Now lets get you some rest. So where should we go? " She asked honestly wanting to get off the subject. She was happy that she had a family that loved her. She had worried that she had honestly done something bad to end up like this. It gave her some piece of mind knowing she hadn't done anything after all.

"Why don't you pick the place? You know the best spots in and out of the house I'm sure" Aura smiled easily. "Oh where are the others?" she asked softly wanting to know where Damien was so she could apologize for not coming back right away.

"Sorry as I said I've been asleep for a while I don't know about the other two. If I had to guess they where in their rooms. Why don't we spend some time in the ladies room that way you can relax. I can fix some tea for you and sweets and some sandwiches until we get supplies so I can cook for you." She said happily. Aria turned as she lead the way up to the ladies room. She waited outside for Aura to invite her in not wanting to just barge in. It wasn't like she could anyhow the room still had the ladies magic and kept the dolls out except when the lady invited them in. Now that was Aura and she was the only one that could invite them in.

"You know... I think I'm going to take down a few of the spells that were put up here... there's no reason you three should be locked out of anything, you're not children after all... and I don't feel I should hide here... you said the house could change itself right? If I asked it to turn the barrier into a gate, could it?" Aura asked as they walked then smiled and invited Aria into the room once they were there looking around once more getting a better look at everything. She thought a bit as she looked out the window in the room and remembered that there was a spell that could allow her to move trees and houses without disturbing nature... it just took ALLOT of energy... could that work for getting the house closer to the town?

Aria thought about what Aura said for a while. Finally she broke he silence between them in the room. " You are in charge of the house and it will obey your will and wish. If you need help with any spell you can ask the house to lend some of it's or me and the others. We would be happy to help you within reason of course. " Aria said as she looked out the window at the gate. " Just ask Aura and image how you would like to see the gate. The house magic is in tune with you just as I am. The lady tied me to the house so it's magic is mine just like it's yours when you need it. "

"I'll keep that in mind, thank you, but I do have a question, has the house always been here? i mean in this spot? or did the witch ever move it? I mean... I'm guessing she had since each of you were from a different nation all together." Aura asked curiously as she sat down.

"No the house has never moved like that, she moved and went in and out. If she went out we stayed in. The lady had said once that the house was closer to the village before she started gathering us. She had to move it to keep us safe and the people away. The lady didn't take the house when she gathered people. That is ridiculous that is way to much magic for one person you should know that. " Aria said as she giggled at the idea of the house constantly being moved. It would kill someone to try and do that more than once. The idea was just ridiculous.

Aura laughed a little "I know but some people know how to teleport entire houses, granted they are normally very strong people and usually have help, and the houses sometimes get all cluttered but still" she said then thought some. "If I had your help I might be able to move the house closer to the village that way I can spend more time here." she offered softly with a smile.

Aria stared at Aura as she wished she could smile for her. Instead she grabbed her hands excitedly. "Really? I would love to help you. Damien said that your book had spells of it's own. I'm going to go out on a limb but I have a feeling if you ask the book it will show you the spell we need. I will help you any way I can Aura!!!" She said loving the idea of being closer to town. Though she wondered if the villagers would be so happy to have them close. After all many thought they where monsters.
"Are the villagers going to be ok with this? I mean you said the elders used our story to scare kids."

Aura smiled but then it disappeared when she hear what Aria said next and nodded. "Everything will be fine, they didn't pertray you three as bad in the stories, they just used you're situation to scare the kids... you know like 'don't turn your back on love or you could end up like a doll too!' that type of thing, honestly allot of people feel bad for you guys" she explained softly before pulling her book out of her bag and opened it asking it to show her a spell that could move the entire property and the trees so they could switch places. It quickly came up witht he same spell that had been used before and she smiled a little "Alright... hm... we need to go and make sure the gems that are placed around the gates are still there so this doesn't fail, shall we get the guys to help us?" she asked softly with a smile to Aria.
