A new power, a new minion.. times TWO!

Alexiel looked back at the food. If she died, Jira wouldn't notice. She was sure of it. Why would he? She was nothing more than just an ordinary girl. Besides, if he didn't love her, then death was fine with her.

But she had to at least try to get more powerful before she gave up. Alexiel continued eating, trying to eat as quickly as she could so she wouldn't think she had eaten as much as she had.

She soon finished and her body shook as she tried to keep it all down.

"There," she said, swallowing. She felt like a pig for eating all of that.

Alexiel's eyes widened. How... how had this woman known? She's a witch.... that has to be it, she thought to herself. She didn't know that she was making it so obvious.

She nodded her head. "Yes," she answered quietly, looking down now. "But he won't notice me until I actually make myself worthy of his time..."

Alexiel nodded, then smiled. "He's really strong, too. And he's saved my life..." There was a silence as the young woman remembered all he had done for her. He had gotten her out of that lab, saved her from dying in the hospital, and he had stopped her from throwing up until she lost every ounce of weight he had helped her to gain.

But, the moment ended, and she sighed. "But he doesn't even see me as his equal.... I'm there all the time, I've accepted who he is... he acts like he cares but it's just so complicated and he doesn't seem to want to..."

She looked back to Sidaj. "Can you make me more powerful so he'll see me? Please?"

It was all she wanted. She just wanted him to love her... was a heart so much to ask for?

Alexiel smiled widely and threw her arms around Sidaj without thinking. "Thank you so much!!!" she exclaimed, hugging the older woman tightly. After a moment, she let her go.

"So, where shall we begin with training and all?" she asked.

Alexiel nodded and hopped off of the bed. She was surprisingly very happy for once — most likely because Jira might notice her now. She smiled at the thought... everything would just be so much better when that happened!

"Alright," she said, heading to the door and opening it for the both of them. "So, how big is this place, anyway?"
