Nemhain looked at the meagre pile of clothes she had. These bloody well better fit.The other girl asked her what else she needed."Everything. I umm... I lost my luggage."

"Lost? Lost your-" Allison stopped in mid-sentence; her disbelief could not be made any clearer. But she was a touch amused as well, even though it was no laughing matter. She imagined it must be...

"Oh," was all Ali said. And then, "Couldn't you call him or something and ask him to return it? You could probably have him send it through... DHL.""Yeah, I guess we can shop together.""All right,"...

Nemhain snorted at the idea of asking for her stuff back."I don't even know where he is right now and I wouldn't ask him anyway."That was the end of that. Any further questions on the subject would be...

She laughed at Artemis' response."I was kidding, but since we're here we might as well check it out..." she trailed off, heading into the store to see what else it had to offer. Besides pink, that...

Nemhain shrugged. "There's not much in here that interests me..."She looked out the window across the street. There was a darker store, slightly reminiscent of a second hand shop in her hometown. It...

Ali followed Artemis' gaze to a darker-items-filled store, and stared for a minute. The clothing there was much darker than she would have liked, but the point was to get Artemis some clothes. "Sure,"...

This store was a lot more Artemis' style than the last two had been.Lots of dark clothes to help blend in with the night. The jewellery and accessories had a dark, almost occult, look to them.She...

"Hmm," Ali muttered as she looked at the shirt, considering. "I think it would work." It seemed like something Ali herself would wear if she went Slaying, and she had to commend this other girl -...

Nemhain went to the change room and tried to pull on the shirt."It's no good," she called. "Do they have it one size bigger?"It was strange, the little tingly feeling wasn't going away, but it wasn't...

"Uh, hold on," Ali called back as she went back to where Artemis had pulled out the first shirt, going through the black shirts there and looking at the sizes. She returned quickly enough with the...

Nemhain opened the door without even thinking about it. Her bra covered more than most bikinis, so she wasn't showing anything much.Except her scars. She always accepted them as part of her, didn't...

The door swung open, and Ali looked up, holding the shirt out for Artemis to take. What she hadn't been expecting... was for Artemis to only be clad in a bra; she wasn't used to behaviour of this kind...
