Softly falling snow{open}

"Whatever it's fine" She says. I don't quite believe her. She's got an anger in her voice that I'm used to hearing from Tauras. The thought of my counterparts name seems to wake her and she tries to shove her way to the front of my conscience. Back off, Tauras, I can handle this myself I snap at her silently. She backs off, not used to me snapping at her. I can feel Gemini also stirring inside me but I push her down as best as I can. They're both incredibly strong but I can also be strong if I really want to be. I shove both of them down and tell them to go to sleep. Are you sure you can handle it Aquaria, I mean you're not exactly the strongest Gemini asks silently. Yes, I'm sure I can handle it, Gem, I'm stronger than I look I say. Tauras stays silent throughout this whole exchange but I can sense her lurking in the back of my mind. I return my attention to the girl in front of me.

She looks to be about my age and I've seen her a few times around school and the district. Normally, she seems to be in a much better mood but something has set her off today. "I'm Aquaria, whats your name" I ask

She looks at me for several seconds before getting up quickly and dusting the snow off herself. Her pants are soaked from sitting in the snow. I could tell that she'd heard about me and my issues, she went to my school after all so the chances of her hearing the rumors were pretty good. I just hoped she didn't decide that she'd listen to them. "It's nice to meet you Lindsey. If you're wondering, I do have Multiple Personality disorder but I don't honestly care that I do because I can control it." I say softly, not wanting to offend her or scare her at all. Gem senses that I'm about to break down and takes over.

I look at her and I can tell that her friends have probably called me much worse than I've heard. "I understand"Bull, no one understands ever Tauras' thoughts invade mine. It's true, no one ever understands us. "Did your eyes just....Never mind. Hey I'm going to get something to eat, do you want to come" she asks. "Sure" I reply, looking down. I decide that perhaps Ria is ready to take over Finally, how many times do I have to tell her that I'm stronger than I look? Ugh. I look at the girl. "Oh jeez, I just realized I don't even know your name" I say, blushing

I can tell that she's noticed my eyes changing color but i don't focus on it. "My name is Lindsay" she says. I smile. "That's a nice name" I say, smiling. As we walk, I notice that the snow has thankfully stopped falling, this will make getting home easier. Good, it'll make going home easier Gem says silenty. I nod on the inside. "So, what do you like to do Lindsay?" I ask, looking at her

"Well, I love to hang out with friends and go fishing like most people in the district. I used to be really into boy's but I've gotten my heart broken a little too much, now I'm now into dating as much. How about you?" she replies. I smile. "Well, I like to train sometimes but it's not really me that's training, its Tauras, my fiery personality, shes fierce. When I'm me, I like to read and hang out with people" I reply, feeling Tauras floating at the back of my mind. She doesn't push to get control but instead just sits by and listens. Gem, however, is a little more insistent. Gem, back off I think feeling annoyed. "So, what do you feel like eating?" I ask
