You go into the kitchen where you see Kanveil. He looks at you

Kanveil: Ah if it isn't Z. How can I help you?

You: Hey Kan... so; when is the wedding?

Kanveil: In two days dear; is there something wrong?

You: Oh no I was just asking. Why is it in two days?

Kanveil: Because tomorrow is the grand arena. Master Xata has to prove she is ready for marriage

You: Yeah... wait; what?!

Kanveil: Do you know what War Shifters have to do before they get married?

You shake your head

Kanveil: Well prepare your notes. Only the bride and groom who give their hand to marry must kill the great monster beast of the lands. If Master Xata gave her hand in marriage to her beloved Jeremy, she needs to win his honor. He loves her, we know that but it is the rules of a War Shifter. If she does not kill the monster, it will kill the ones she loves. If she dies, then the monster will leave her love alone., ending the cycle of her people and breaking the one she loves heart for failing him or her

You: Do all shifters have to deal with that?

Kanveil: Only War Shifters. They are not allowed to be married. Grand Master said and I quote "War Shifters are dangerous to make. If they do not learn peace, they will lead everything to an end. Love will be hard for them but in time, let it be if the monster is killed then they will be free from the bond arena" end of quote. It is brutal for her to deal with but why do you think she's so calm? She knows she can end the cycle and give her kind another chance but she is scared of losing him

You: I want to help...

Kanveil: No you can not. The only thing you can do is offer anything that can help her in the arena. Be warned, others will help the beast

He sits down. Someone gives him water

Kanveil: Thank you Luck

He drinks it

Kanveil: I keep thinking about the wedding but have to forget about it. She has to as well

You: So if she dies; what happens?

Kanveil: This world becomes a wasteland of nothing. No life but black and white

You sit down in shock

You: Everything here will be gone? What about you guys?

Kanveil: We die but if she wins, we can finally breathe and our home will be safe. To let her live in the world and for us to serve her for as long as we want

You: How well do you think she will do in the arena?

Kanveil: If she's already chosen the love of her life to marry then she is ready. No doubt in my mind that she will back down from the fight. She is strong but we need her to stay focus

You: Right. So... let's say sometime in the future I wanted to get married; can I have it here?

Kanveil: Well you are not a shifter so you will be fine

You: Sweet! But all seriousness; do you believe she is ready?

Kanveil: Yes. With my life

You: Same here. Well I should let you get back to it then. Thank you for telling me everything

Kanveil: You are welcome Z

You leave the kitchen then go in your room. You start getting ready for your surprise dinner for Jeremy. You put a black dress on with a choker then look in the mirror to check yourself out. You look down at the counter where you put your straightner and makeup on and just stare at it. Sure, you put makeup on but just foundation and eyeliner. You haven't put on eyeshadow or lipstick on since you were a human but you felt like trying it. You open the makeup palette and look at all the different colors

You: Oooo so many of them. Hmm I'm wearing a black dress. My choker is to but has a red diamond on it. Decisions, decisions

Your wolf: You could decide later and try the other makeup?

You think about it

You: You're right

You look at the all the different lipstick colors. You choose red and black then look at your dress

You: Hmm black lipstick is sexy but don't want to scare him so I guess red will do even though black would really match

Your wolf: You could do black lipstick and red eyeshadow

You: Hmm... oooo or black eyeshadow and red lipstick. Damnit why must this be hard

Your wolf laughs

Your wolf: Aww look how nervous you for that wolf

You: He's more than that... in my eyes

Your wolf: Hopefully this will make him see you differently

You: Oh it will. He's going to see the vulnerable side of me trying to make things right between us... black lipstick and red eyeshadow

You grab the lipstick then stare at it

You: Umm... how do you put this on again?

Your wolf: Ugh

You put the lipstick on your lips, carefully moving it down. You start to get flashes of your past life on how you did your makeup one night when you were asked out on a date with him.  You stop then stare in the mirror with wide eyes

You: Woah

You continue putting the lipstick on but do it perfectly

You: Woah what the hell was that about?

Your wolf: See? Certain actions do get your memories back. Try the eyeshadow

You start putting it on like nothing

You: Sick

You add a bow to your head then look at yourself in the mirror. You make a sad look

Your wolf: What's wrong?

You: Poor Xata man. That's horrible. To fight to the death to be with someone you love and to save your home world

Your wolf: The world is cruel to anyone who is different, that's how life is. That's how our life is as well

You nod

You: Yeah

Your wolf: I know it sucks but look at you. All dressed up for an Alpha who hates your guts

You make a dull look

You: Wow... thanks

Your wolf: He's going to love it

You let out a smile

You: Is it too much? The bow I mean?

Your wolf: It's perfect. All you have to do is be yourself but be nice and don't annoy him

You: Just a little?

Your wolf: No

You: You're no fun

Your wolf: Hmph. You want him to like you right?

You: If he wants to like me, he needs to accept me for who I am and how I act especially from the things I do that anger and annoy him. Besides, his big stupid words annoy the hell out of me but he's so damn hot so I can't even hate him

Your wolf: You're weird

You: YOU'RE weird!

You leave the room and see Finbar

You: Hey Finbar

Finbar: Oh Ms. Z. Do you need something?

You: Yes; can you tell Mr. Danvers I mean "Jerry" to come in the kitchen?

Finbar: Of course!

You: Don't tell him it's me though. It's a surprise. Oh and make sure he's dressed nicely please

Finbar: Okay. Will do!

He leaves
