It's a dark cold night, in the summer of 20XX in the Crow Sun district of the Country of Vanilla. The country isn't used to having a cold night in the middle of summer, but on this night snow pilled up to about two full feet, freezing the streets and walk ways trapping people inside their homes for the night. The sky was relatively clear, showing many bright stars and a large full moon. A young woman with long black hair stands out in the cold weather playing a small blue flute with her eyes closed. The woman is wearing a blue summer dress that stops at the middle of her thighs and white open toe flats, a great contrast to the current weather. The woman plays the same melody over and over standing on a rail sticking out of the snow near a large house. The door to the large house opens slightly as the owner attempts to push the snow away to open the door seeing the woman. The woman opens her eyes revealing large oval yellow eyes as her lushes eyelashes clear their way. The woman looks back and stops playing the flute.

"Excuse me miss… it's awfully cold out here, would you like to come in for a night?" The owner asks.

The woman turns around still standing on the pole.

"Wait a second… don't tell me you are her?" The owner says looking afraid.

The man begins to shake as his eyeballs is covered in ice and next his whole body as he screams in pain. The woman steps down and walks into the man's house shutting the door. She touches the ice sculptured man on the shoulder.

"If you don't mind, I'll be using this place for a while." The woman says closing her eyes and walking away.

She plays her flute once more walking slowly in the house. Morning comes around in a different district in the same country. The district of Saint Sue is experiencing normal weather compared to their neighbor district. All around town people are posting wanted posters of the woman from earlier custom with a large bounty of 9 million dollars for whoever brings her in dead or alive. A young woman wakes up in her straw bed after a piece of paper falls on top of her face. She quickly hops up afraid and looks around swiftly left to right.

"What's going on? Oh!" The woman says taking the paper off her face and looking at the paper.

She stares at the piece of paper and begins reading it.

"Meryl Hart… worth 9 million dollars…dead or alive… Ice witch." The woman says reading some of the things.

She throws the piece of paper.

"No sense wasting my time with this… I wouldn't be able to kill a witch with these tiny arms." The woman says flexing her skinny arms.

The woman stands up, pulling her skirt out of a wedge, yawning and going to her bathroom to look at herself in the mirror. The woman has short pink hair, stopping at the top of her neck, with spiky bangs, and a round bowl like top. At the moment the hair is a bit messy, with straw tied to some of her hair. Her eyes are very large and light blue. She runs the water to her bathtub and takes off her clothes holding onto her medium sized breasts as she dips her body into the water. She lets go and lets her breast rest on top of the hot water as she relaxes and blushes. She bathes herself after a while and quickly puts on clothes, white bra and panties with a yellow sundress with black sandals. She brushes her teeth in a lazy manner almost falling to sleep at the sink but sees the clock reflected in the mirror.

"Just 1:30 PM… 1:30 PM!" She says changing tone from a lazy one to a loud concerned tone.

She quickly dashes out of the house locking her door and heads through the town running out full speed knocking over people as she runs by.

"I'm such an idiot… I'm late again! How am I supposed to pay my bills if I can't even get to work on time?" She says concerned.

She runs to a tea shop and grabs an apron standing next to the other hostess inside the shop. There were three more hostess wearing sundresses; one had long red hair tied in a ponytail with average sized green eyes with the name tag Cathy, wearing an orange sundress with an apron on. She has the largest breast out of the group and looks to be the other girl's superiors. The girl to her right is slightly taller than the other girls with brown short curly hair and brown skin with brown eyes and average sized breast and a green sun dress on with the name tag Brooke on. The last girl was a woman with light brown pigtails and with a flat chest and glasses on with large hazel eyes and purple sundress on with a name tag that says Toya.

"Alisa…where's your name tag?" Toya asks seeing her arrive late.

"Huh…" Alisa says confused looking around.

Cathy grabs Alisa's hand and pulls her close placing her hand on her butt. Alisa blushes in confusion as Cathy feels on Alisa's butt.

"It's right here… how do you get a name tag stuck to your backside?" Cathy asks.

"You never cease to amaze me Alisa…" Brooke says laughing.

Alisa looks down embarrassed as Cathy places the name tag on Alisa's right breast.

"There, now you might wanna get to work, you've got a lot of request for some reason… and if the boss finds out you were late again who knows what's going to happen. I'd hate for such a cute girl like you to lose her job." Cathy explains.

"Alright, I'll get to it right away!" Alisa says saluting Cathy.

Alisa dashes off to the kitchen grabbing a note of her orders. She quickly serves up some of her orders.

"Welcome to Ben's Tea house, how may I service you today?" Alisa says as a new customer walks in while she's serving an old man.

Alisa looks up to see the woman from the wanted poster walk inside the tea shop and how a seat, but being a klutz she doesn't recognize her. Everyone nearby is shaking in fear dropping their tea cups and running out of the tea shop much to Alisa's surprise.

"I'd like some Green Tea if you don't mind…" The woman says not opening her eyes.

"Coming up mam!" Alisa says in a sweet tone.

Alisa bows graciously and walks off the kitchen to see the three hostesses from earlier shaking in fear. Alisa sees them cowering and walks up to them.

"What's wrong?" Alisa asks.

"What do you mean what's wrong? Don't you see who's out there?" Cathy says holding her hand out.

"Um… a new customer?" Alisa says putting her finger to her lip.

Brooke shakes her head and holds out a poster to her face.

"You can't tell me you haven't seen this." Brooke says.

"Oh yeah, I saw this earlier! It fell on my face and woke me up." Alisa explains.

"Take a close look and tell me who you see…" Toya says.

"Hmm…" Alisa says looking at the picture and then out at the guest then back at the picture.

She quickly tenses up in fear noticing what's going on.

"Tha-tha-that lady…" Alisa says afraid.

"Is the Ice witch, Meryl Hart!" The girls yell.

"Hey, where's my tea?" Meryl yells from the serving room.

"Coming right up Ma'm!" Alisa says poking her head out of the kitchen.

Alisa turns around and looks extremely concerned with the other girls.

"What do we do?" Brook asks.

"Ben isn't here right now…" Toya explains.

"I guess there's only one thing we can do… since this was your customer Alisa, you tell her she's not welcome here." Brook says smiling.

Cathy hits Brook across the head.

"We aren't sending Alisa out there to the sharks." Cathy yells.

"What are we going to do…she's getting impatient." Toya says checking up on Meryl from the kitchen.

"If anything… we're doing this together." Cathy says.

"I have another idea, we'll just put a little of this rat poison in her tea… and claim the money when we turn her in!" Brook says.

Cathy holds up a finger but then drops it.

"That's actually a great idea!" Cathy says smiling.

Alisa brings Meryl the tea moments later while the other girls watch closely from the kitchen.

"Here you are Ma'm sorry for the wait." Alisa says putting the tea cup in front of Meryl.

Meryl opens her eyes revealing her yellow eyes again as Alisa looks at them look at the tea and blushes.

"I've never seen eyes that bright…" Alisa thinks.

Meryl grabs the tea cup and brings it close to her lips. The hostess girls smile and huddle up waiting for her to drink the poison tea. Meryl puts the tea cup down.

"I'm sure you are aware of this… but there is a bounty on my head for nine million dollars. So I have to be careful everywhere I go… before I drink this can you take a sip to ensure that this tea isn't poisoned." Meryl asks.

The hostess girls' smiles quickly go away as Alisa looks confused. Alisa slowly grabs the cup.

"Well…?" Meryl asks looking at Alisa and the tea cup.

A gun shot sounds off and a bullet flies from the outside through the entrance breaking the cup and surprising Alisa. Meryl looks over to the entrance and stands up. A large man dressed in a suit walks in the tea house with a large pistol in hand pointed at Meryl.

"Ben?" Alisa says confused.

"Yay, Ben's here to save the day!" The hostess girls say excited.

"I heard a rumor that the famous Meryl Hart was visiting this town and had to check up on my tea shop and girls." Ben explains.

"So what, you hear to try and get the bounty on my head?" Meryl asks.

Ben smiles and fires his gun sending a bullet through Meryl's head as blood flies and a large hole opens through her skull. Her eyes roll back and she falls forward as Alisa looks on afraid. Meryl's body hits the ground and shatters like a tea cup confusing Ben and the others. A hand touches Ben's right shoulder and he turns around to see Meryl smiling behind him. She shoots ice through his shoulder forcing him to fall to his knees as she tosses him forward to his face.

"I came here for tea and this is what I get in return." Meryl says.

Alisa runs in front of Meryl and holds out her hands.

"Please, I'll make you some more tea, just don't hurt Ben!" Alisa says crying.

Meryl watches the woman crying in front of her and looks away walking towards the exit.

"I've made a promise not to hurt women and children in my conquest, and with that I'm not allowed to come between them. You are lucky to have this woman defend you Mr. Ben…any other time I would have turned you into an ice sculpture." Meryl says.

"You bitch…" Ben says.

Meryl walks out and heads down the street while Alisa looks out the shop to see her leave.

"Why is such a beautiful woman like her being hunted?" Alisa thinks.

"Go after her Alisa…" Ben says.

Alisa jumps and looks back.

"Excuse me?" Alisa says confused.

"She doesn't women or children… and you're a bit of both." Ben says sitting on the wall and leaning on it grunting from his shoulder injury.

"But I won't be able to do anything… look how skinny I am." Alisa cries showing her arms.

Ben slides his gun to Alisa.

"Even you can fire a gun… if you don't do it you're fired." Ben says looking down.

"But I need this job! I can hardly afford my place now!" Alisa cries.

"Well, if you take her out you and I can split her bounty and you can afford multiple houses." Ben says chuckling.

Alisa looks at Ben with tears in her eyes and begins whining but he gives her a stern look so she grabs the gun and begins shaking. She takes a deep breath and then salutes her boss and the hostess girl. Alisa marches out of the tea house heading down the street to follow Meryl. Cathy and the other hostess girls run from the kitchen and approach Ben. Cathy steps and digs her foot into his pelvis forcing Ben to cry out in pain.

"What the hell do you think you are doing sending my little Alisa out there?" Cathy asks with evil intentions in her eyes.

"You are the worst type of man Ben…" Brooke says cracking her knuckles.

Toya grabs him by the shirt and lifts him to his feet.

"Girls…please calm down." Ben says crying in pain.

Meanwhile Meryl walks slowly down to the street looking at the many stores and vendors, but when she walks nearby they begin closing their shops giving her a mean look. She stops walking hearing footsteps and looks back to see Alisa running to the side and hiding.

"That girl…" Meryl thinks.

She turns back around and starts walking and Alisa follows her again this time pointing the pistol at her with shaky hands. Meryl looks back again and Alisa dashes to the side to hide behind a wall.

"I don't think she saw me…" Alisa says looking around the corner.

Alisa looks back over to the area Meryl was standing and sees a puddle of water in her place.

"Wait, where did she go?" Alisa thinks until she feels a hand on her shoulder.

Alisa jumps and turns her head slowly looking at Meryl.

"What are you doing?" Meryl asks.

Alisa screams and snatches her shoulder away from Meryl and falls to the ground pointing the pistol at Meryl.

"Bullets won't work against me…" Meryl says.

"Please, can you turn yourself in… my boss is forcing me to do this! I don't want to leave my job and I can't afford to pay my bills if I lose it." Alisa cries.

"I'm afraid I can't do that… I have to find someone." Meryl explains.

"Find someone?" Alisa says confused.

"Don't look into it too much, just tell your boss I got away." Meryl says walking forward and passed Alisa.

Alisa fires the gun missing Meryl completely.

"I can't let you get away!" Alisa cries, now standing and pointing the gun at Meryl.

Meryl smiles and walks back to Alisa placing her breast on the gun. Alisa shakes and sweats.

"Go ahead, fire to your hearts content…" Meryl says.

Alisa shakes her head.

"I can't do it…" Alisa cries.

Meryl places her hand on Alisa's head and brings her face to her breast forcing Alisa to blush.

"You are a sweet girl…why are you getting caught up in this mess?" Meryl asks.

Alisa begins to tear up and drops the gun on the ground. She then hugs Meryl and cries into her chest, sobbing for moments but rests her ears on Meryl's breasts.

"I don't any other choice… I don't have much money, but I have to pay my rent somehow. So that's why I work as a hostess for Ben… and he told me if I didn't do this I'm fired." Alisa says sobbing.

"Why don't you just quit and find a new job?" Meryl asks in a curious tone.

"I'm not exactly talented in any manner… some would even say I'm pretty ditzy and clumsy. The only reason I have that job is because Cathy and the rest of the girls took me under their wing after they found me on the streets last year." Alisa explains.

Meryl runs her hand through Alisa's hair.

"Why were you out on the streets? Where are your parents?" Meryl asks.

"Both are dead… last year our house was burned down by a mask man in a white trench coat. My parents were able to rescue me but they didn't make it out alive. So for weeks I slept on the cold ground without food or clothes and no one paid any attention to me, except for Cathy who took me in for months until she got me a job at the tea house." Alisa explains in a low tone.

Meryl's concerned look began to fade and a stern look took over her face as she closed her eyes hiding her yellow eyes.

"A man with a mask and a trench coat… who burned your house down? So those rumors were true… he came through here." Meryl says in an aggressive tone.

Alisa looks confused and steps back from Meryl a bit. Meryl places her hand on her head and tears come from her eyes and drops from her face after freezing, smashing on the ground.

"Ms. Meryl?" Alisa says confused.

"Damn it, it's my fault… I should have taken care of him back then. I'm sorry Alisa!" Meryl says crying and bowing in front of Alisa, taking a knee for the apology.

"It's not your fault Ms. Meryl… I'm sure you had your reasons." Alisa says holding her hand out.

Alisa takes a knee with Meryl and wipes the frozen tears with a napkin. Meryl opens her eyes, and blushes as Alisa does the same. They both stare at each other for a while before saying anything.

"I want to help you Alisa… but I can't turn myself in right now. I have to find him, to stop him… and kill him. After that you can have the reward for my capture." Meryl explains.

"But what should I do now? I can't go back without you or I'll be fired." Alisa explains.

Meryl looks around and then thinks for a bit.

"Alright, I got it… come with me… I'll take care of you until we find him and I'll bring you back after." Meryl says standing up.

"Eh?" Alisa says holding her own face and standing up.

Meryl scratches the side of her face.

"It's the only solution I can think of…" Meryl says.

"I guess… I mean, I can't go back and you have something you need to do." Alisa says.

"Then it's settled, you'll come with me." Meryl says holding out her hand.

Alisa looks down at Meryl's hand and grabs it, as Meryl leads her out of the town. Hours pass and Cathy and the Hostess girls wait inside the tea house concerned.

"How could he do that to a sixteen year old girl…? She's probably..." Brook says thinking negatively.

"No, don't even make me think about that! We have to go looking for her." Toya says.

"You're right Toya, that woman can't take all three of us at the same time." Cathy says standing confident.

After gathering some things at outside vendors Meryl and Alisa began traveling together looking for the next town to ask about the mysterious man with a mask and a trench coat. At the same time Cathy, Toya, and Brook gather weapons to hunt Meryl down, asking the town people where they had gone to.
