Just a reason to be

[Raisa Zhefarovich]

It was dead in the winter where Raisa lived, and she wanted nothing more but to retreat to the outskirts of the wizarding community in New Zealand. It was summer there, and she needed to get out of the Manor. Asparuh was back, and Raisa was not entirely pleased. Just a few days of Asparuh's and Arnost's time out of the Manor was peaceful, but now, the atmosphere went back to the way it had been before. Raisa needed some peace and quiet to herself. It was after Christmas, and a few relatives were coming to stay in the Manor which of course meant that inevitably Raisa was leaving. Bidding a farewell to her twin, Raisa dressed in a red gown with a slit up to her mid-thigh. She took her wand out of her placement upon her other thigh and cast a charm to hide the mark.

With her past of being a Death Eater sealed, she glanced at the mirror. Her blonde hair was flowing around her shoulders, truly a beauty of six feet tall, if not one inch past that. Raisa placed silver heels upon her feet, and with a loud POP! she was gone. Her onyx eyes glared icily over her new surroundings, and the heat felt nice against her smooth, milky skin. Today was a day of surprises. Instead of feeling the need to kill, perhaps she should just feel like a normal person. After all, the mark was hidden, and she was free to be herself - which in fact was a Death Eater persona. Raisa entered a small shop on the side, ignoring the stares she received, and approached the counter. "One tea, unsweetened," her voice cut through the air, but had a sass to it as well. The man got her the bottle of tea, and she paid for it. Raisa glanced around the shop, and was glad that her family did not celebrate the muggle holidays. It wasn't like she had a close family or children to buy gifts with anyhow.

Raisa breathed in the air, and she could just vaguely taste the tea that she just bought. However, time was all she had. Raisa was in no hurry to depart back to Bulgaria. With a flip of her slender hand, her hair went behind her head, as she gazed at the selection of other flavors of tea. Raisa was wasting valuable time, alas the man behind the counter did not mind it. Raisa suddenly felt slightly tense, and her onyx eyes met another set of eyes. Her expression completely cold - for she did not like being stared at, by any means however, Raisa did not say a word just yet. Raisa thought And I wonder who this man is that has caught my attention here in New Zealand? Perhaps Rayna is right, the catch here is better than Bulgaria's.

However, Raisa was as stubborn as the rest of her siblings, and would not admit her weakness to such attractive figures. A subtle, graceful smile planted on her nude mouth, "Afternoon..." was all she could say. Raisa was not a talker, and would only speak if she needed to. That was a simple greeting, and it was all that was needed for now. Nothing personal being shared about her, yet anyhow. The smile was short lived; Raisa turned her head toward the counter once more, trying to remember what flavor Rayna enjoyed so much. But out of the corner of her eyes, she could still see that wizard beside her.
