John awoke, his quick slumber cut short from after his head connected to a metal corner on his coffee table.
John groans, his vision restores and he searches for a second before he could process what image was right in front of him. The girl from before was kneeling beside him, her head above his, only a few inches away, her hair circling around the both of them like a room trying to protect them from the real world. She smiles then lets out a loud sigh of relief, thus making John smell a bit of chocolate in her breath.
"Oh thank god!" she yells lifting her head a bit "I thought I seriously hurt you or something!" she says loudly letting her smile widen more.
John jolts, barely away from the small girl's head, apparently frightening her. As he swiftly rolls into a low stance with his hands lifted, she drops on her ass in a half fetal position, her big sky blue eyes widening even more than he thought they could.
"Who the hell are you!" John growls out.
She flinches at the first sound of his voice putting her hands over her face.
"Don't hurt me! Please!" she shrieks, looking through her tiny hands then quickly gets up. "I'm known as Familiar 62..." she says.
John let his guard down and listens. "Why don't you have a name...?" he asks curious to find the truth. "I was never given one, you have the right to name me though," she says.
"How come I had too?" he asks her, still needing to know everything.
"I'm your Familiar!" she states with the same huge smile from before, "We had so much fun as kids.... until they took me back, and I never was named....." she says lowering her head with her smile wavering.
John looks her up and down, trying to figure out the name for this mysterious girl, then he saw three of her golden locks forming a circle above her head. "How about... Halo?"
"Halo...?" the three golden locks in her hair glow a little, " It sounds nice, thank you sir!" She says running into John for a hug,he lets her, not knowing why.
"It's John..."

Anna splashed the warm water on her face, running her hands over her wet skin in attempts to set herself straight. "It was just a thought" she told herself, just an odd thought. Why get do rattled? It was exactly like Dr Jefferson had said: it was late, she had a hard day, that kind of situation coupled with a horror movie..
It was just a thought.
Wiping her face with the towel on the counter she let out a sight. Feeling a bit more refreshed now. However, as soon as she removed the towel and saw her reflection..
"Did you brush your teeth?" An older woman came up to the doorway of the small bathroom where she felt like she were standing on something besides the tile floor. She had short hair and a white coat.
"Yes momma." A younger voice smiled, causing the mother to cross her arms, "Let me see." not convinced and going to check the toothbrush of the girl.
"Ok fine! I'll brush my teeth.." Her response was quick and a little annoyed, probably to keep from getting caught in a lie. The woman stood in the doorway to watch.
Short blonde hair just reaching her shoulders, and a pair of cyan eyes looked back in the mirror with a much younger face. Disappearing just as soon as it had happened.
"Aahah!" With a yelp Anna stepped back dropping the towel in the process, as sheer terror made it's way through her.
Light, dark, weavers, Outcasts.
It's all new to Anna, if that even is her name. After waking up with a blank slate of a mind, she has to not only relearn the ways of the world but also her own powers and what exactly it means to be "souless". The Order of Kismet, the goddess of fate, where is her place here? And is what they're doing truly right?
Remembering is risky but it's the only chance she sees.
