I Died, But Came Back ... As A Wolf

Ming'er had an unending supply of energy when it came to playing games, Sarah was exhausted though it was more mental exhaustion than physical as she had never had experience dealing with a child before so ended up going along with whatever she wanted which led to her current predicament.

Sarah was frustrated as Ming'er was currently applying make-up, that she kept for no apparent reason, to make her 'Big Sis' 'prettier'. Though it wasn't too bad at the beginning, Ming'er had progressively put more and more make-up on her that she was afraid to even open her eyes to look but she had to when she heard Ming'er's pleading tone to look at her 'masterpiece'.

Devastated by what she saw, Ming'er had drawn on eyebrows that looked like someone couldn't be botherd rubbing out therefore scribbled over the top of it. Her skin was patchy, some of her face was a little rosy while other parts were slightly orange from too much being used. Ming'er's attempt at putting on lipstick was just as bad as the eyebrows and looked like a kid that can't draw within the lines.

"Ming'er did great, right sis?" Ming'er asked as Sarah's right eye twitched as she was slowly losing her temper but couldn't bring herself to act like she did with Tian Long and brazenly threaten her as she intuitively felt that it wouldn't work, in fact she felt that things would go bad, very bad, if she were to act as she usually does therefore ansered with as much fake sincerity she could muster and thanked her for making her 'prettier'.

Putting on her veil she sneakily used her control over the frost element to freeze the make-up and then shatter it into fine ice crystals which she then dispersed before they could make it past her veil.

"Ming'er, I am going out for a walk. Would you like to accompany me and show me around?" Sarah asked MIng'er who was literally shaking from the excitement of showing her favourite places to be and excitedly replied that she would.

"Definitely big sis, just wait a sec so I can get ready" To which Sarah replied that she would and that should Ming'er need any help with getting ready she should call for help. Pouting that she was being treated like a child, even though she was, Ming'er outcried that she was a big girl and could do it on her own. Not two seconds later Sarah heard a weak shout for her back in the room. Smiling under the veil Sarah once again entered the room and then saw Ming'er trying to put on a dress but couldn't tie the laces at the back which hold the two top sides together as she is wearing a light red dress that went to her knees that had an open back with two laces that went round the back of the neck to hold together the dress. Chuckling to herself she quickly helps MIng'er into her dress before she cries out of embarrassment.

After being helped into her dress MIng'er was quiet until they left the mansion. Slowly getting back into her usual energetic self from the quiet, embarrassed self from before as she kept coming upon places she liked to go to.

Dragging Sarah along she pointed out the training area where most of the people from the mansion were right now as it was only just moved into late evening. Moving on from the training area as Ming'er didn't like most of the people from the mansion as they were a 'bunch of meanies' that would bullt her because of her age and whenever she tried to attack them they said that they knew people from the first rankers that could beat her if she tried anything. She was lucky they didn't try anything else more, they probably didn't push things too far as they knew that even if they had the same social status as her their family could be weaker than hers which would essentailly be them inviting a disaster for their clan and themselves should their clan give them up to settle the grievances though most higher clans tend to eliminate the trouble by its roots to avoid future troubles.

Situations such as Huo's where she made it out alive were actually very rare as most higher powers tend to research deeper into how many people were in the clan so they knew whether someone had made it out alive and then have their (rough) details put up as a bounty which would make bandits, bounty hunters and other noble clans go after them which is a death sentence itself.

Taking note of Ming'er's situation as she feels that it is not right to bully a child to such an extent when you are near enough a decase older than her.

'Sigh, humans' is wht she thought to herself in that moent as she was further realising that no matter the world humans will always have their greed and pettiness. Of course she also acknowledged that not all humans are like that their are those rare few that actually have morals however in a world where strength rules supreme how many people can get here without staining their hands at all. No matter how righteous a person they still have something they want hidden from public view. In fact righteous people can be just as hypocritical or more hypocritical than the 'evil' people as to keep the public opinion of them as good they will do anything to keep it that way even making someone 'disappear'.

Breaking out of her thought as she had just been poked by Ming'er and asked what she thought of the place.

It was a patch of flowers of different kinds. Tulips, roses and many other unknown beautiful and breathtaking flowers graced this patch of land and it showed the beauty that nature can show. That beauty though hides the savageness behind.

Sarah sat down with Ming'er, after a few minutes they started making flower bracelets and crowns, though MIng'er preffered to use tiara when speaking of them. At first Sarah was terrible at making them but as she got familiar with the steps that MIng'er had shown her she eventually made her first 'good' one and gave it to Ming'er which made her happy and gave her one back.

*Yawn*

Looking to the side Sarah sees that Ming'er was getting tired as they had been away fro some hours just sitting alone in the garden together enjoying the scenery. Lightly shaking MIng'er to stay awake Sarah got up on her feet but realised that Ming'er had not risen with her. Lying down on the grass was an unconcious Ming'er sleeping away with a blissful smile on her face. Smiling at this scene Sarah slightly shook her head before picking Ming'er up in a princess carry she started walking back to the mansion.

On the path back Sarah was walking back with Ming'er in her arms and was thinking back to during the day. Sarah had not thought that she would meet this little girl nor did she expect to get so easily influenced by the child but the atmosphere around her induced you to be cheerful and happy taking away the gloom in your heart. Though Sarah was not actually gloomy but she ws tensed as she was in a rush to get stronger in her human form as she didn't like being at the mercy of others. The one thing she failed to realise was that even if she transormed into her beast form she was still at the mercy of someone else.

Although she was not fully focused through her time in the forest and her intstinct as a beast she was able to react to the black shadow that suddenly lunged at her from the shadows.
