Soul Seeking Part One There wasn’t a single day Axel didn’t enjoy going to work, there was just something soul satisfying about helping couples plan for one of the biggest day in their lives. There was also the fact that planning weddings insured she was always surrounded by the glowing happiness of brides, and seeing the couples come together was heartwarming.
Today, coming to work was no different. Her electronic agenda told her she had three clients that day, with the last appointment being a client who`s wedding was only a week away. When she came in, her first client was already seated with a coffee in hand provided by Mildred and reading a magazine. Mildred had already prepared Axels coffee and placed the clients folder beside it, as Axel walked in she gave the woman a warm smile. She quickly made her way over to the folder and coffee, glancing at the folder for the woman’s name. “It’s nice to see you again Jessica, why don’t you come on in to my office?” Getting up, the woman dropped the magazine and followed Axel in. “My husband was happy to get rid of me this morning, says Ive been acting like a bridezilla lately.” Both of them giggled, Axel had seen far worst.
Taking a sip from her coffee, Axel took a seat and placed the folder beside her. The forget-me-nots were on the far left corner of her desk, she gave them a quick look with a smile. Jessica took notice of the jar, getting closer for a better look. “These are pretty, but why are you keeping flowers in a closed jar?” It was rather hard to explain to someone the true purpose of the flowers, and even harder to explain what they were. “It’s a special corsage of forget-me-nots; put your ear to the jar.” Jessica leaned closer and put her ear to the jar, her expression remained neutral for a bit until her mouth formed a small ‘o’. “How does it do that? It’s almost like I can hear small whispers, giggles and words. Two people.” Axel smiled, suggesting “Lovers.”
Opening up the folder, Axel glanced at everything; she already had a sample of the invitations, color palette of the wedding, pictures of Jessica in the dress she’d bought, and a multitude of other details surrounding the wedding. “Looks like your wedding date is approaching really quickly, we’re almost done here.” Jessica was still entranced in the whispers of the flowers, but when Axel started starring at her, she finally moved away with one last longing look towards the jar. “Yes, I think we’re finalizing everything today?” Axel nodded and went head first into all the nitty gritty details while keeping an eye on the clock, Mildred would warn her when her next client was in and when her first appointment was over. All details were finalized before the end of the appointment, with Jessica excited that she wouldn’t have to worry about anything except on her wedding day. Even than however, Axel would be by her side looking over the details to make sure nothing went astray from the plan for a perfect day.
The next appointment was similar to the first, and then it was a lunch break for everyone before her final appointment. When the short, plump Mexican woman came in, her hearty laugh with that Spanish accent was hard to miss. Axel went out of her office and greeted the woman, her Husband was nowhere in sight, he`d already flew to Mexico. “Lupina, so good to see you.” Axel bent down to hug her and lead her into her office. "I have your ticket!" She waved the ticket around before sliding it to Axel, the ticket was part of her paycheck. Axel picked it up, looking over it and then put it into a drawer for safe keeping.
“Alright, let’s go over your schedule.” Axel took out one of the schedules they’d perfected, looking over it. “So, we fly out tomorrow at seven in the morning, arrive at eleven. Your husband is picking us up and we’re going to have lunch and then we’ll go to the reception hall to make sure everything is to your liking. You know this is a really late time to be going to Mexico, I mean there’s today and then three days till your wedding.” A lot of her clients liked to have plenty of time to prepare for their wedding. Lupina had come to her unprepared two months prior to the wedding date. Axel was good, but it had taken a lot out of her time with other clients. “I know I know chicka, you are so nice to me. I know you will enjoy Mexico, did I tell you that you were staying with my grandfather?”
Axel tried not to frown; she was going to be in the same room as an old man? “I hope you don’t mind chameleons because my grandpa is bringing his.” Oh just brilliant, now they were bringing in lizards. “Nah, it’s fine.” She didn’t have a choice, while Lupina might have looked like a happy small woman, behind the mask laid a bridzilla. No one would have guessed she could have been hiding such a monster, but she was and the only way to appease it was so simply comply. That was something Axel had learned a long time ago, appease them or find a compromise without them noticing it. It was tricky, but when everything else failed, a trip to the spa never hurt. “Alright, well you’ve picked up the dress and your husband left with it. Everything else should already be there; I packed up everything and sent it to the address you gave me. Only thing missing now,” Axel gave her a smile, “Is you.”
As the minutes dwindled, the final details were made and Axel saw Lupina out of the office. She’d only had to deal with one crying fit, which she’d stopped by showing Lupina the jar of flowers. Now tired, Axel picked up the jar, hugging it to her as she picked up her bag and jacket getting ready to face the cold winter evening. “Night Mildred!” She waved to the old woman, before heading out. “It’s just you and me now, off we go to Mexico.” Axel would finish packing tonight when she got home, securing both bottle and Jar with her for the trip. She hoped to be filling the soul bottle soon; Mexico would surely have plenty of souls ready for picking.

Soul Seeking Part Two With everything packed away in her luggage, Axel had barely managed to sleep a few hours before getting ready to get on the plane for Mexico. The only thing she’d taken with her to keep close was the bottle and the flowers, which customs had questioned about. Since the bottle was empty of liquids and the jar was only flowers she was allowed to pass, though with the soul she might have to place the bottle in her bag with her clothing. There would be no confiscating her items, and she’d make sure the bottle was safely tucked away in the folds of her clothing. However, she could fret over such things at a later date, she had a plane to catch. Lupina had thankfully bought their tickets at the same time, and so Axel was stuck beside the talkative woman the whole ride down to Mexico.
Axel was happy to get off the plane after the long ride and get to her hotel room.
The hotel was… Well, Axel had expected a little better. Lupina had insisted on the hotel, and it certainly was like any hotel she’d ever been too. This one had a high price, with a beautiful view on the ocean, but the hotel itself was cheap looking and dirty. Now Axel wasn’t the princess type, but she’d expected something a little better than this for a wedding. She had to remind herself that this wasn’t like her usual weddings, and that she’d only be here a few days before she would be free to be on vacation and go soul searching. Axel’s disgust only grew once she got to her room, only to be reminded that she was sharing it with Lupina’s grandfather AND some lizard. The old man had set up the cage on the farthest corner beside the bed that had been left empty. Axel starred at the bed, than the cage, sighed and threw her bag onto the bed. Oh the things she did for clients sometimes.
Thankfully, she was allowed a bit of peace to unpack her thing. The flowers she settled near the cage since most of it took up the large window where the sun was coming through. Axel also settled the bottle beside the cage; Zeke hadn’t said anything on how to catch souls so she didn’t fear catching the creature’s soul. Just as she was setting the bottle down, something wet flicked out towards her, hitting her on the cheek. Axel turned towards the cage and spotted the colorful chameleon, her mouth opened in a small ‘o’. had the thing just hit her?! It had hadn’t it! Axel pointed a finger at it. “Disgusting.” Who in the world kept a lizard in a cage with so many holes in it?! Taking a breath, Axel moved away from the cage back to the bed, she eyed the cage carefully. There was no way she’d be able to sleep if that thing got loose.
Lupina came in a few moments later, it was time for Axel to get her magic on and start the preparations for the wedding.
The reception hall was plain; it was open from all sides with a view to the beach, but plain. The decorations wouldn’t be going up until the morning of the wedding; they were only visiting so that Lupina could finally see the place with her own eyes. The manager gave them a small tour of the place, telling them where the food would be and asking Axel for the seating charts. She gave him a copy and kept them moving, not only would she be free to do as she wished after this, but she’d be free of Lupina. Axel was going to go out soul hunting in some of the old ruins of Mexico, she didn’t know what she was out to find, but there was bound to be something interesting in there.
Once all confirmations were done, and Lupina was as happy as a bride could be, they headed back to the hotel. “Axel, do you want to come with us, we’re going to be walking along the beach?” Axel declined the invitation and went back to her room, once inside she was greeted by some very fast and angry Spanish. “Sorry grandpa, I don’t understand Spanish!” The old man seemed angry, and went he pointed at something; Axel followed his fingers to gaze at the chameleon on her soul bottle. The wedding planner shrieked, stomping over to her bottle and pointing at it. “Get it off by bottle!” The old man threw some more angry Spanish words at her before closing the distance between them and grabbing his pet. Axel glared at him, while he glared back until he retreated to his bed. There was no way she was going to live through this; if his pet escaped again she was going to be pissed.
Grabbing a bag she careful took her soul bottle with her before grabbing a few water bottles, and left the hotel for the shuttle bus that was taking them to the ruins. The trip was a little longer than expected, and the weather was blistering hot. While she’d paid for a guided tour with a group, Axel set off on her own around the ruins soul bottle in hand. The few butterflies she saw were hard to get a hold of, as she ran after them with the bottle, people have her weird looks. After a few failed attempts, she gave up and decided to try and find some shade to sit in. Axel thought of giving Zeke a call, asking him how this soul catching business worked, but decided not to. Maybe she’d find some ancient soul of some mythical creature if she just waited long enough.
By the time diner rolled by, Axel had to leave with one of the groups. She’d ran out of water and ideas on how to catch anything. Frustrated, she headed back to the hotel for a late dinner and then back up to her room. The old man was nowhere in sight so she placed the bottle where she’d left it. Axel glanced into the cage; she spotted the chameleon trying to blend in on a branch. The wedding planner glared at it; if that thing got out tonight she was flinging it across the room.

Soul Seeking Part Three A wedding day begins very early for everyone, and even earlier for the planner. Everyone must be up to get their hair done at the hair dressers, and then everyone needs to be dressed with make up on. Everyone must be up and running by the time the wedding planner leaves to get the reception hall ready for the party. Once at the location, the planner need to make sure all the decorations arrive, including flower, lights, fabric and anything else the bride might have ordered. The caters need to have been set up in the kitchens so that food can get going and be ready once everyone comes in, and finally the planner must return to her bride to make sure she isn’t having an emotional breakdown from the stress, and the groom hasn’t run away. More often than not, it’s the bride that needs to be reassured everything is okay; the groom just needs a shot of some vodka or anything that’s strong to get him back on track.
By the time Axel had finished getting ready for the morning, people had already begun to get up, and only a few needed to be prodded out of bed. The plan Axel had set forth, and printed out to everyone, was that all brides maids and the bride herself needed to meet her at the bottom of the stairs so they could all be sent off to the hair dressers at the same time. Axel was doing her own hair a little later on, so she only saw them off before heading off towards the destination folder in hand. Mentally Axel began going over her plan while looking at her notes, it was then that she remembered she’d forgotten to check up on her soul bottle and jar of nots before leaving. She didn’t fear for their safety in the room, but she liked to just give them a glance once in a while. She’d check on them later on.
The reception area was still empty except for the tables that had been scattered about, the chairs still stacked together in one corner and some workers bringing in the decoration. Axel grabbed a few of them and began doing the seating arrangements while the others brought more stuff in, once everything was inside everyone got to work on spicing up the place. Lupina and her husband were both of Mexican descendants; the place would be filled with vibrant colors by the time they would finish. The caters arrived soon after, Axel left the decorators to make sure all the food had arrived and nothing was missing. She went over the menu with the chef once, gave them a time on when certain foods should be going out, and then left them to their cooking. Axel was not required here.
With the place getting set up, Axel glanced quickly at the clock. For once they were still on schedule and it was time for her to go check up on the bride and groom. She found the groom getting ready with all his friends around him, Axel noticed the drinking had already started so she let them be while reminding them of what time the groom needed to be up front. Next came the bride, no emotional breakdown yet, she was getting her make up done by a family member. “So the reception hall is all in order, we’re still on track with everything.” Lupina nodded and went back to fiddling with her shirt, Axel left the room, Lupina had pretty much ignored her and she knew the tears would come running soon. First however, she needed to check up on her items. Mildred had called her last night, one of her brides had a panic attack in the office, and Axel was required to come back at once after this wedding.
The old man was gone from the room when Axel entered; thankfully she wouldn’t have to deal with him any more then was needed today. Though seeing his damn lizard beside her bottle made her furious, the damned thing had gotten out again! Axel snatched the bottle away from it quickly, that’s when she noticed the mist inside the bottle swirling. “Oh my god I’ve killed it!” The chameleon wasn’t moving, didn’t look like it was even breathing. “s**t, s**t, s**t, Im going to get killed by a crazy old Mexican grandpa on his daughter’s wedding day.” Panicking, Axel started packing her things into her suitcase as fast as she could possibly go, she kept glancing at the dead body of the chameleon and felt horrible. Once everything had been packed away, Axel put everything in a corner and grabbed the body of the chameleon. She opened up the cage and dropped him inside, and closed it again. No one would it was her right?
By the time Axel had made it back to the bride’s room, Lupina was dressed and all but crying. Her family had tried to reassure her, but it was Axel who got her back on track and headed towards the beach where the reception hall was. If she could avoid it, Axel would only stay for dinner and then be off. She’d killed the old man’s pet and she needed to get on the first flight back home.
Thankfully, the ceremony went well and the couple was happily married off. Everything went smoothly, if the couple was happy, so was Axel, but now it was time to return home and give Zeke a call. Since she’d killed the chameleon, she might as well keep its soul. Out of all the souls she could have picked, a Mexican chameleon had certainly never been in her plans. On her way back home she gave her sister a call, telling her she’d caught a soul, but never telling her exactly what she’d caught. Then, it was Zeke’s turn to get a phone call from her, Axel left him a message stating she’d caught a soul and to call her back whenever he could.
A Mexican panther chameleon, Axel could work with that. Grandpa would never know.
