Ash to ash/Blood to blood...

Phoenix walked through the dark corridors of the Courtyard maze, letting the darkness close in on her. She wore pure black, a long swirling black cloak hiding her even more. She smiled as she turned a corner, hoping desperately to find something... or someone, nearby. She let the hood of her cloak fall over her head to sheild her face, only her blood red lips visible. The maze itself seemed to be driving her insane, twisting her mind and spirit to it's liking. She raised a pale hand to her mouth wiping away a long line of fresh crimson blood the stained her skin. She turned another corner and got knocked back, as if by something that wasn't truly there. She sat there, making no effort to move as a fresh line of blood stained her face.

Kera walked through the maze, getting more and more annoyed the more she walked. Why did she decide to even enter the maze was what she was now wondering. Either way, she had to see it through to the end. She may have hated the maze, but she hated quitting more. If anyone would happen to see her, they would see a girl wearing a dark blue shirt, black jeans that were slightly baggy, and a dark red trench coat. Her long black hair was worn down as usual.

How annoying can a maze be? she thought as she turned yet another corner. Kera began to regret ever coming into the stupid maze, when suddenly she saw a figure of someone sitting on the ground. Feeling as though she might as well try to see if somethings wrong, she casually walked toward the person. A girl wearing black clothing was on the ground, and it looked like there was blood on her face. Wondering what could have happened Kera figured it would be best to ask if anything was wrong. "Are you all right?" she asked, her green eyes looking down at the girl.

Phoenix still sat there, her mind racing. She took in short raspy breaths, never once attempting to move from her spot. Suddenly, she heard a voice and looked up to see a girl in front of her. Phoenix snapped back to reailty, not even remembering what had been going on. She wiped the blood from her face and looked down at her blood-stained hand, looking extremely confused at why it was there.

"Oh... Yeah, I'm fine...." she said quickly, thinking that she had just gotten lost somehow. "Sad thing is... I don't even remember how I got here.." she said thoughtfully, trying hard to remember what had happened since earlier in the evening.

Kera gave a small smile after the girl had said she was ok. She looked down at the girl, and wondered why she couldn't remember how she got it the maze in the first place. It was strange, but then again stranger things had happened. "Well, maybe we should just try to find the end of this maze." Kera said thinking that may be the best thing to do. "Or I could shoot red sparks out of the end of my wand to get help, that is if you think you need it."

Why had she asked that the girl had just said she was fine, and Kera was still offering help. However, the fact that the girl couldn't remember why she was here was another reason she was a bit worried. "Oh, and I'm Kera Jonson, by the way." she added feeling it would be a good time to introduce herself.
