Aria thought about it and shook her head no. "No the less they know the better off we are. They would just get in our way. They are men after all bless their pointy little heads. All men try their best however they end up in the way most of the time. Besides it will be fun to hear their reactions. Oh, this could be very funny." She said as a slight evil laugh escaped from her, as she thought about how the other two dolls would react. "hehehe...payback for all the things they have done to me." She said softly as she looked to Aura. "Come lets go. " She said as she headed to the gate not bothering to stop as she did so. Once at the gate she looked around it. She closed he eyes as she tapped into the houses magic a red aura formed around the gems reveling themselves to Aria still where they had been placed long ago.

"Wow you're cruel Aria, but what has Damien done to you? I can understand Zaylic but Damien seems like a sweet heart." Aura asked with a slight laugh. She then went about checking each of the gems and using a spell to repair the ones that were damaged or dulled before going about casting symbols in front of each of them taking several long minutes before all the symbols were cast and she reached out her hand to Aria a symbol appearing on her palm so they could share their magic to use the spell

Aria held out her own palm as she helped cast the spell. She felt a surge of energy as a blinding light came from the gems. The ground it self shook and the house moaned and groaned. As the light faded Aria for the first time in a hundred years could see the village. They where now just outside of it. She reached out as she held onto the gate for support. She was weak from the spell however she had never seen something so beautiful in her life or what she remembered of it. They were another step closer to being human. Aura really was freeing them and doing a amazing job. If she was human she would have stopped breathing however in her enchanted state it didn't matter.

Damien was finishing up his clean when he felt a surge of strong magic. Before he could move the house started shaking violently as it groaned and moaned. He was forced to the floor as all the book fell from their shelves. He laid on the floor with his arms over his head trying to protect himself from the bombardment of books. He had just cleaned everything and had it spotless. This was just his luck he thought as he wondered what was happening. The house had never done this. It was enchanted. He was scared to move when shaking stopped. He slowly peered out from a gap in a few books not seeing any monsters or the house in pieces. He slowly fought his way out of the mass of books that had engulfed him. He held up his hands as he said a few enchanted words causing a purple aura to from around the books as each one found their home once again. He stood there for a moment as he checked himself making sure he was alright.

He finally felt safe enough to venture outside. He looked around as he saw Aura and Aria. He saw that Aria was holding the gate and from the looks of it this was the cause of the sudden surge of energy. Aria looked very weak and he had only seen her like this when she over did her magical abilities. His eyes shifted to the view of the village as he could only stare at it. He couldn't believe it they where closer to the village. He looked back at the house then back to the two girls. "How?" Was all he managed to say as he stood there in Awe of them and their abilities.

Zaylic was still lost in his thought when he felt the house shake violently. "What on earth is this?" He screamed out as he dove under his bed for protection. Nothing in his room seem to fall witch he was honestly thankful for however all of this shaking and moaning was worrying. He was surprised when everything stopped. He waited for a moment seeing if everything had really stopped. He finally emerged from under the bed as he looked around his room. He slowly open the door to his room as he peered down the tower hall not seeing anything out of place. He walked down the long hall peering into to each room making sure everything was in it's place. Nothing in the house seemed to be out of place as he went. He slowly made his way through each and every room of the house that he could trying to figure out what had happen. He finally walked outside as he saw the others.

He walked up to where the others stood as he looked at Aura then to Aria seeing how weak Aria was. He was going to ask what had happen however he heard voices. He looked at the gate as he saw the village closer. He wonder how this had happen? He then looked back to the girls as he realized they had moved the entire house. "You-you did this? " He said in awe for a moment as it was quickly replaced with anger. "YOU BOTH COULD HAVE WARNED US!!!!! We were almost dust thanks to all the shaking going on in the house.! Just because we aren't as good at magic spells as you two doesn't mean you can just not tell us when your going to move the house! However thank you." He said finally meaning it.

Aura panted a bit as well as she leaned on the gate some to catch her breath before looking up at the two that came out and chuckled a little. "Aria's idea not mine" she laughed some before catching her breath fully. "We should go and make sure nothing got left behind, you never know with magic like that, teleportation and moving spells aren't exactly down to a science you know." she said softly to the three before asking the house to change the barrier into prestien gates so anyone that could enter could call into the house with a button on the gates and be let in and out with ease.

Damien gently walked over to Aura as he picked up her with care. " If we have to walk back then let me carry you please. You are very tired and should rest. I'm glad to see you." He said as he wished he could smile at her. He looked to Zaylic who picked Aria up as they both slowly started the long walk back to where the house was. They followed the trail that once lead to the house. Once they reached the edge of it Damien found it weird not seeing the house anymore. He gently put Aura down as he hoped she didn't mind him caring her.


Aria didn't get time to object before Zaylic just plucked her up in his arms and stared heading off. She was however grateful that he carried her even if he was upset with her. She couldn't help but giggle at the looks he kept giving her. " Come now you know you both deserved it for the pranks you pulled on me. Remember before we went to sleep and you panted my face while I was asleep. And all my dresses your changed. Lets not forget when you gave me red hair and horns playing around with your potions because you two thought it was funny. It took the lady several days to undo most of those. " She said knowing that Zaylic was trying not to laugh remembering those antics of his. She could tell that Damien wasn't paying her any attention his attention was on Aura only.

Aura blushed but leaned into Damien easily smiling up at him then heard what Aria was saying and laughed some. Once they were where the house hand been and she was set down she walked forward looking around but suddenly gasped as the ground gave out below her and cringed waiting to feel herself either sliding into something or just falling straight down not even noticing that large puff of magic dust that flew up revealing a massive area where the house had been and just on first glance you could see at least 20 or so doll-like body parts scattered around sticking out of the ground

Damien reached out and quickly caught Aura as he pulled her to his chest. He saw more of the strange magic dust and froze as he saw the horror that was reviled as the dust settled again. Everything in him screamed to run but his body was frozen in place and all he could do was just stare at the horror before him. He hadn't realized he was screaming till he realized it was Aura screaming. He tried to calm down however he wasn't sure if there was any calming down. How man people had the witch killed? He wondered how many innocent people where buried there and not even in a decent grave. How many people had she taken from their family. Damien let Aura go as he fell to his knees. He barely felt Aria as she knelt down beside him trying to comfort him till she saw the horror that waited to greet them.

Aria shifted her head as she heard Aura and then slid out of Zaylic's grasp hearing Damien's screams. She had never heard those screams from Damien. Those screams where of the most utter pain a person could go threw. She softly knelt beside him as she tried to comfort him rubbing his back. However it seemed to have not effect. She looked forward wondering what had triggered this. However when she saw what laid before them she felt her heart break. There where so many bodies they where dolls every where. What was this place? She saw some of the faces and knew what Damien was screaming like this. Those where dolls just like them. They where enchanted how.....she couldn't bare to look anymore as she looked away. She closed her eyes as she retreated inside of herself unable to cry physically though on the inside she cried and screamed.

Zaylic watched Aria and Damien as he wondered what on earth was going on. He knew something was wrong for both of them to act this way. He had never seen Aria close her eyes and try to escape for anything. She was always a ray of light and could get through anything. He wasn't sure he honestly wanted to look. Finally he edged the others as he saw the grave that had been under the house. He wondered if this is where the house got all it's power from the dead enchanted dolls. He could only stare as he felt empty on the inside. This made him sick at his stomach just looking at and thinking about. How many had ended up like them. What had happen to them was this to be their fate too?

Aura sighed in relief when she was caught and looked up at Damien thankfully before looking to see what he was looking at and covered her mouth. There had to be hundreds of them... probably even more. her face suddenly turned pale as she noticed some of them looked like they were even wearing more modern clothing. "N-no way... th-this is.... this is impossible.... h-how horrifying" she gasped but then tensed as she looked at the three. "We... we need to get out of here... I'll... I'll make proper graves for them later but we need to go." she said a pang of urgency in her voice before looking around a bit then tried to help Aria and DAmien up feeling like something bad would happen if they stayed there too long.

Aria couldn't move as she barely even noticed that she was being carried. She kept her eyes closed and didn't move from her position she had froze in. She wanted it all to go away and wanted the lies. She liked it better when she thought the witch cared about her. Now it seemed she was only a pawn. It made her cry even more as tears for the first time dripped from her enchanted face the pain so great that it took physical form.


Zaylic finally managed to pick Aria up along with Damien caring one on each shoulder as he turned heading back towards the village. He took Aura at her word and had a feeling they needed to leave. He didn't speak or even blink as he acted like a soulless servant. He kept walking focusing on getting back to the house nothing else on his mind.

Damien couldn't handle this as he felt himself drawing inwards. He retreated within himself as he tried to figure out how to deal with this. He wasn't sure he could. He couldn't help Aura, Aria, or even himself at this point. How many innocent people laid there. What had the witch done was this just a game to her? Was she going to come back and kill them too? Would any of them be safe. They should have never moved the house. However they couldn't take it back now.

Aura sighed once they were back at the house and she looked at the three worriedly. "Will you guys be okay? I swear i will never let anything like that happen to any of you, I will break this curse... just... please don't give up" she said worriedly as she looked at them hoping they would all be okay and snap out of it soon.

Zaylic looked up as Aura after looking at the other two. "You need to leave them alone for a while. They aren't aware you are even talking right now. Let them try and grasp everything they saw. I'm going to take Aria to her room and sit with her. I think you might get further with him." He said as he looked at her. He turned quickly as he remembered the looks she had after the other night of regret and took Aria to her room and sat down on her floor with her.


Damien finally snapped out of his shell as he saw Aura. He stared at her for a moment before he reached up and pulled her to him as he gently held her against him. He rested his chin on her shoulder as he just held her finding great comfort in it. He looked down as he thought he saw a red mark on her neck he wondered what that was from. "Aura, are you alright? I'm sorry for not being there for you." He said calmly as he tried to move on from what he had saw. " You know you have a strange red mark on your neck. Did you hurt yourself earlier?" He asked wanting to make sure nothing had happen to her. After seeing all of those dolls he honestly was a little spooked at this point. "Why? Why all those dolls...Aura those where people like you and me. How many people feel victim to her crazed whims? Aura are we going to be ok?" He finally asked honestly worried they could end up just more members of the pit.

Aura looked at Damien and then hugged him closely as she was pulled into his lap but then froze as he mentioned the mark but touched her neck some. "I do? Oh... I must have gotten hit by a rock or something when I fell, it's okay though" she said softly then frowned and shook her head. "I won't let that happen.... I'll never let that happen, I won't let you guys end up like that i swear... but... now that we know about all that we need to be careful... some of those bodies were new... she's still alive and still doing this so we need to watch out because she'll probably sense the release of magic" she explained softly before burying her face in his neck sweetly hoping that he would turn back into his human form so they could both enjoy being close to each other.

Damien froze as he heard her mention the witch. Was she still alive? He peered down at Aura as he pulled her even closer to him as he softly kissed her head as he felt the change. He closed his eyes as he could finally fell the warmth from her skin. He loved being able to feel her smell her and everything that came with being human. He gently lifted her chin as he stared in to her beautiful rainbow eyes. He smiled softly at her before kisses her forehead softly and gently. He let it fade as he gently let her chin go wrapping his arms back around her enjoying her company. He tried not to think about the witch as he held her just wanting to hold her for now and let the pain melt away to the background.

"Shh....Aura let it go. We will face it together when it comes. Right now let's just enjoy each others company. We aren't promised tomorrow and we should make what we have now important. If she takes me then that is my fate. However meeting you has been the best part of my life. If she returns then let us meet our fate. I couldn't bare anything happening to you Aura. " He admitted as he just held her.

"Damien... thank you" Aura said softly feeling really bad now... how could she let herself get caught up with Zaylic? she cared about and liked Damien so much more. "That's not going to happen though... i won't let it." she said softly staying close to him relaxing into his warmth.

Damien smiled softly as he gently kissed the top of her head. He closed his eyes as he held her and started to hum a softly melody for both of them. As he held her he let himself go. He felt a peace as he sat there with her. He slowly open his eyes as he gently moved some hair from around her face as he leaned down placing his check against hers still holding her close as he just sat there. He treasured getting to feel her and be so close to her. He wished he could be lucky enough to hold her like this always. " I wish I had 100 years I could give you so we could have known each other sooner. However I don't but I would love to stay like this with you for the rest of my life. " He said softly as he just held her. He could feel his heart racing as he said those words sure she could if he could. However he liked how it felt and meant what he said. "We should get you to bed Aura. I know your tired from the adventures of today." He said softly honestly not wanting to let her go. However he needed to think of her and her needs before his own. "Aura....I know we only just met. However I am very found of you. If you deiced to look for someone special would you please keep me in mind. I know in my current state I don't have much to give you. But you are very special to me. I know you see my as only a friend. But maybe one day I can change your mind. I would like to be the one who holds you and gets the honor of holding your hand. I would love to protect you." He said softly as he smiled thinking of her.

Aura relaxed in his arms before looking up at him "Damien..." she said softly then smiled a little "I don't know what it is about you... I know we just met but a few days ago but I feel so close to you, closer then any friend I've ever had" she said softly as she leaned up and kissed his cheek softly.

Damien felt his cheeks grow red at her kiss but he loved it at the same time. He smiled at her as he held her softly nuzzling her as he slowly stood taking her with him. He held her against his chest as he started walking. He headed up the stairs to where her room was. The lady could come back however the house was no longer hers to rule. The house had chosen Aura as it's new owner. Even if she wanted to come back the house would not accept her. He looked at the door as it slowly of it's on free will seeming to know Aura was coming. He couldn't help but smile as he walked into the room surprised it didn't deny him access. He gently placed Aura on her bed as he sat on the edge of it staring at her fondly. " I feel a strong connection with you like none I have every known. " He admitted as he gently moved some stray hairs from her face.

Aura smiled at Damien and moved to lean on him a little lovingly. "I feel the same about you" She admitted softly still smiling up at him "Damien would you mind staying in here with me? I still have some work to do but I'm kind of tired and I feel very comfortable around you" she asked softly hoping he would stay, she still needed to look through her book and the other books that they had found for her to see if there was a way to break the spell and see what happened to the other dolls. "I know we need supplies so I think I might call into the market and get my friend to deliver it for us, I'm sure he won't mind" she explained with a smile.

Damien just smiled as he heard her. "Really? It would be my pleasure to stay with you." He said as he moved his back against the headboard of the bed as sat beside her. He gently slid his arm around her waist as as he enjoyed getting to hold her yet again. He felt like he had won the best prize in his entire life about now. He smiled at her happy to just be as he thought about the chance of meeting someone new. " I hope he is friendly. If he is you know Aria will bake up a storm. We might have tons of village children around with how she bakes. She loves children and to bake. You would think in her past life she was a baker instead of a princesses. " He said as he honestly took the time to think about Aria. "Maybe before he comes you should have Aria help you greet him. It just might help her snap out of what we all saw today. I feel bad for her honestly. Aria honestly thought the lady loved her and was her friend.

Aura smiled some as she listened then cuddled up to DAmien and listened to him some before nodding. "Oh... I should probably warn you since i think I freaked Zaylic out the other day, technology has advanced ALLOT since you guys have been asleep, the house seems to know since it's slowly changing, you may not have noticed yet but the lighting has changed drastically in the house. i have something called a cell phone that can tell me the time, let me search information and get in contact with people around the world" She explained hoping that wouldn't freak him out as she pulled out her phone and looked up the number for her friend at the market.

"Fascinating!" He said he watched her pull out the strange looking device. It amazed him how times had changed. Apparently the innovations of humans hadn't while he had been asleep. He stared at it more curious about it than anything. "Maybe one day you will teach me about it and how it works. Zaylic isn't one big on change believe it or not." He said thinking about Zaylic as it made him laugh. He smiled as he watched her make numbers appear on it. "So many strange things in this new world." He said as he went quiet wondering if she could really talk to someone with the small device.

Aura smiled when she heard his reaction before putting her finger to her lips signalling for him to be quiet for just a second as she pressed call and put the phone of to her ear knowing Damien could probably hear it. "hey Kayo it's Aura." she smiled a little "Ah! Rainybow it's you! been too long how have you been?" the male voice on the other line asked in a cheerful tone. "I'm doing great actually, you know I found the witches house several days ago, well the stories are true, I used mine and one of the dolls magic to move the house closer and I'll probably start staying here so could you do me a huge favor?" she asked softly and the male chuckled. "Let me guess, you need me to deliver food again? You should really learn to stock up on stuff more often, but I think the store owner likes your business, so the usual?" he asked "yeah, but this time more flower, sugar, eggs and milk, and please bring me a variety of seeds, I can't move any of my plants right now so I'll just start growing more, besides those are for the store after all." she explained and you could hear rustling of paper and Kayo mumbling everything that she needed extra on before the sound of ripping paper. "Alright I'll be out tomorrow, make sure you're there." he said before they said good-bye and she hung up then laughed a little. "I'm sure you'll hear more people calling me that around the village, those that can see my aura often call me Rainbows or Rainbow, he's one of the few that actually calls me Rainybow, or Rainybows depending on his mood." she laughed a little.

Damien was fascinated hearing a voice on the other end. He just stared at the small device in wonder. He just lost in hearing Rainybows for her nick name. He tried to contain his laughter however it erupted from him. He finally contained himself as he looked back to her just grinning. " Oh I am so remembering this. Rainybow." He said as he just grinned finding great pleasure in her nick name. " You know the rest of us would be happy to help you with the plants. I'm sure Zaylic has a few potions that could turn them into plants almost instantly. You should ask him you know. " He said knowing Zaylic had potions for just about everything. He finally stopped teasing her as he looked around the room. He had never been in the room before. He looked around as he saw a privet library. This intrigued him as he slowly let Aura go an got up. He walked over to it as he picked up one of the books. He recognized it from the spine however this one wasn't like the one he knew. He flipped through it as he noticed that this one went into greater detail about things the other he kept didn't. He put the book back as he picked up another finding the same thing. He put that one back and picked up another as he started to get angry. These where the original books the ones he had where mere water down versions. This why the witch didn't care if the elders read the books he kept. She kept her true secrets here. He looked back to Aura as he calmed down and tried to smile at her not wanting to ruin the mood. "I'm sorry, everything is a lie here isn't it. Here are her true books. They go into greater details about everything. No wonder she didn't care if the elders came in and read the books I kept. "


Aria slowly open her eyes as she felt arms around her or what she assumed was arms. She looked up as she saw it was Zaylic. She wondered how long he had held her like this. "I....." She couldn't really say much as she only saw the bodies of the dolls again in her mind. She wondered how each of them had ended up there. She also wondered where her lady had went off too and why she had done all of this. The Lady she knew was her friend however apparently it was all a lie. That hurt the worst as she curled up against Zaylic. She just sat there as she thought about everything in silence just happy it was Zaylic holding her. He wouldn't question her or make fun of her he would just hold her and be there witch is what she needed right now.

"Well... I won't let that continue, once I make sure there are no spells on those books we can put them up in a separate book shelf in the library." Aura suggested softly before grinning a little. "You have a mean side don't you" she teased softly still grinning easily not seeming to mind in the least, he was very kind so she kinda liked him having a little bit of a cold side too.

Damien just laughed as he stared at her. He came over and gently kissed her as he drew her to him. He let the kiss fade as he took his seat on the bed. He didn't seem to let the kiss faze him as he long as he looked at the door. "Ummm so what do you have to work on?" He asked finding it a little uncomfortable at the moment being so close to her. However he didn't want to leave her side.
