On the outskirts of a forest lies a village. It's not a big village, really it's just a small one, filled with cottages and small shops. One of these shops exists for the sole purpose of bringing beauty to the people of the village. It is run by two sisters, named after the oldest. The two sisters are orphans, though the older is of an age where she is considered an adult. They are known to be the most beautiful in the entire village, so it would make sense that they would wish to spread that around. There is a new guy in the village, one with a shady past. What he's there for, no one really knows, but he is there, and seems to have an interest in one of the sisters. And finally, in the forest is an area that no one dares to brave. There are tales of a monster, though only a few have seen it. A man, one said, but an evil man, one with dark intentions. Finally, the truth about that man has come to light and he has attracted one of the sisters himself. This is the story of how four lives can come together and change, maybe for the better... And maybe not.

Phoenix thrust open the door of her sister's room. "Hey, it's time to get up, sleepy head." She called, kicking the bed slightly. "The sun is out, breakfast has been made and eaten. Its time for you to get your little butt out of bed and start thinking about taking those flowers to the Pub before school." The sisters owned a flower shop, one that had been opened by their parents. Phoenix was took care of the book keeping and orders, and Ananeko did most of the deliveries, since she was more for being free. They both had class and Phoenix hated being late.

Phoenix pointed to the eggs, ham and toast. She was wearing a dark red dress, that was too short, but she was older than Ananeko, so she could. "I already ate, so I'm going to clean up while you are doing the delivery, and I will meet you back here to walk to school." She told her, pushing her long blue hair out of her face and over her shoulder.

Phoenix was picking up Ananeko's room when she heard the question. "Sure." She called out before the door closed. She shook her head. Her sister was always doing that, asking a question before it was answered. She laughed softly as she finished and moved on to her own room. Then, finally down to the kitchen.

Phoenix was working in the greenhouse watering the flowers and trimming them. She sighed softly and looked outside. "Good. We don't want to be late." She said, walking out of the structure and toward her sister with a smile.

Phoenix glared, putting her lunch in her school bag. She closed the doors behind them as they left. "Well, as long as I'm around, you aren't going to be." She told the younger girl as she lead the way to school. "And you should stop fussing around." she said, poking her sister's cheek. "It's good for you."

Phoenix laughed softly, reaching down to help her up. "That's great, Ana." She said, smiling. "I knew that you had potential, you just need to work." She looked around. "And careful with your twirling.. People will see your undergarments." She told her, clicking her tongue. She had her bag covering her bottom as she was bent over.

Phoenix sighed as she walked to the office away from her sister. She didn't much feel like running, and her class was on the other side of the school. She was never late. The girl walked into the office, next to a new guy. After giving him a quick look with her blue eyes, she leaned against the desk and looked around. "Just me luck." She muttered, looking from side to side. She sighed and shook her head, her blue hair falling over her shoulders.

Phoenix looked over at him and gave him a soft smile. "I'm Phoenix Raitsu." She said, taking his much bigger hand in her small, delicate one. She pointed behind her. "And this rude person, is Ananeko, my little sister. Ana, stop staring." She said, cutting her a hard look.
