Snippet #2412037

---

After about a good half hour of laying on the floor, Ariella felt an oncoming buzz from the collar. That instantly made her shoot up to her swing, gripping one of the poles that kept the swing up. The buzzing seemed to lessen, then went away. Good. If she had gotten another shock as bad as the last one, she would of passed out for sure. As she was standing, she felt something trickle down her throat. Raising her hand to her collarbone, she withdrew her hand and saw that her fingertips were wet with blood. Crap. If she were to get another white dress stained, she'd have it. Opening up her box, she moved her instruments around, finding four different cloths. One of each of her three instruments and the fourth one for such occasions. It was a red spattered white cloth, used for only stopping herself from bleeding on her clothes. She had no idea why the staff insisted that she wears white.

Once the bleeding subsided, Aria put the cloth back into the box and took a seat on her swing. She huffed, crossing her slender arms over she chest and decided to just people watch. After all, there wasn't much to do. She had the choice of singing, playing one of her instruments, dancing (which honestly she is horrible at), or watch people up on her swing. She already sang, danced, and played her violin. Her only other choice was to sit quietly on her swing so everyone can 'admire' her. While she watched the stuck-up pricks who entered the second floor and would stare at each of the cages for a time being then move onto the next. What really caught the girl's attention was three, maybe four, people. They all arrived at different times, but when each one came in, she could tell that they weren't like most of the humans here. They had a rather strange aura about them. Most people Aria could sense that they're arrogant and selfish, while these four humans had a more virtuous aura.

The first person with the aura walked in and went straight to the Angel's cage. It was a slightly abnormal looking man, not as classy as the other humans. He was talking to one of the guards. She really didn't pay any attention to what they were talking about until she heard her name being mentioned. She jumped off her swing, landing on the bottom of the cage as light as a feather. She leaned forwards to listen, all she got was something to do with God's messengers and His wrath, she didn't get all of it because the guards laughed and caused her to take a step back. Now the guard was saying something about people getting to see these beauties and by putting them on display, the world can know about them.

Hearing this made Ariella glare at the guard, then the strange man said "I doubt any such being is truly enjoying this, despite appearances." There was a short pause before he spoke again "You hesitate to answer, I see. What, then, is making them display such a deceitful act?" Ah, so this is why the Angel had sensed some good in him. The guard them had whispered something to the man, but it was too quiet to hear. Once that was said, the guard left and soon after the man did as well. He seemed to be quite mad for some reason, maybe it was what the guard had whispered to him?

The next one was a woman, she was standing over at Ko's mirror prison for a while before coming over to Aria's cage. She couldn't tell why she had detected this peculiar from this woman, but if she was anything like the man from before, than she knew that there were some humans who knew right from wrong. The woman seemed to be very focused on two cages. Ariella's and Morrigain's, which sort of made sense, since they were the complete opposite of each other. A demon and an angel, trapped in a cage just a few feet away from each other.

The Last person Aria could identify was a rather young looking girl, who seemed quite discontent from the moment she walked in. A man had came up to her and they chatted for a bit, before the girl strolled off. The first thing the girl did was stop by Ko's prison, watching him dance around. She appeared to be memorized by Ko, until one of the guards came up to her and grasped her wrist. Oh, looks like she got into trouble. Once the girl was free from the guard's hold, she wandered off, passing Morrigain and Cole like they weren't there. When she reached Aria's cage, it looked as if the girl couldn't see her as there were many others in front of her. Within minutes, the girl roamed around.

There was a fourth, but it seemed like Ariella couldn't detect who it was. She shrugged, flying back up to her swing. She was growing tiresome and very hungry. She wished the museum would close soon so she could get something to eat and go to sleep afterwards.
