Randomness You Are The Key Character"It's what I was meant to do."You are the true enigma. No one knows much about you, you do not understand much of yourself, and your life seems to carry no purpose. Yet regardless of everything around you - everyone knows that you are here for some reason, even if no one yet knows what that is. Things seem to simply fall into place for you. Almost as though some force is working either through you, for you, or around you. No matter your troubles, you have been sent here to unlock something. This is your destiny.

Cat flung the door open to the house. The double doors swung back only slightly, they were used to this sort of treatment. Cat walked in and set down the bag of things she had bought with her new little companion only today. Ptah walked in after her, his head swinging back and forth looking at his new surroundings.
"Now I know this doesn't quite feel like home yet, but I'd like you to do your best to treat it as such." Turning Cat looked at Ptah trying to give the warmest smile she could.
Ptah in return smiled in a nervous way. He had never really been one for talking and though Cat was really nice and fun he still felt out of place with out all the other kids at Gd's to hide behind. Cat noted the nervousness and walked up to Ptah and knelt down to look at him at eye level.
"I guess this is kind of nerve racking, eh?" Cat said with a gentle look
". . . .Yeah . . . ." Ptah said staring down at his feet
Cat put a figure under his chin and looked into his eyes. "I'm your guardian now Ptah, and in time I'd like to be your friend. ... I now this was all a bit sudden, but I want to do my best to be your friend, and to protect you, is that cool with you?"
Ptah eyes grew big, this was all very odd to him, before Gd he had known no home and Gd had not been the best father figure. Staring into Cat's eyes though he felt a little safer then before, and like he was really being noticed for the first time.
"...yeah" He said with a small smile and hugged Cat.
Cat wrapped her arms around him, picked the child up and headed for the stairs.
"Come on, I’ll show you your new room, you'll love it, it's huge."
((sorry it's a bit sappy guys I'll try to keep it down from now on))

(A journal entry from Ptah's journal)
My new mom and I went out and did a lot of stuff today. It was tons of fun. We went to one of mom's friend's houses. Her nickname is Bop, well mom calls her Chuubop but mom said I could call her Bop. We had cookies and mom and bop talked about the pots and stuff they make, and we left after a while.
Then we went to get mom some art supplies and me some too. We got markers and colored pencils. And we met another of mom's friends Dt, he's G's nephew. He was kinda tall. I liked his hair. Then we went to this weird shop. It had weird pets and kids in it. And we picked up this little girl named Ceridwen. I guess she's sorta my new sister. She's younger then I am a little and she's got shinny blond hair. She stayed really close to me and mom. I think I like her, I think she likes me too.
When we got home mom told me that Ceridwen was a vampire and that I might as know now. I thought that was really weird because vampires are supposed to be all scary and pale, and I have lighter skin then Ceridwen. Mom told me that vampires weren't scary and that they were just like normal people, only they did things a little different.
Like Ceridwen could drink blood if she wanted instead of eating with us and that she didn't like sunlight. I thought it was kinda cool. Mom says that Ceridwen would be living with us from now on. I think I like that idea. I'm going to draw everyone I met today soon, and put in here. But I have to go now, mom's got dinner ready and I want to see Ceridwen eat!

Sitting around the house Cat was thinking about the past month with Ceridwen and Ptah. It had been awkward at first. All the little things one had to deal with when one is living with others seemed to come in the way of the three really making a proper friendship. Instead they had all fallen into a kind of routine.
Cat would get up around 4:00 in the afternoon and start dinner, and make some business calls. Then Ptah would wake up around 4:30 and take a shower, the child apparently was starting to develop a slight phobia of being dirty, nothing life changing, but it obviously gave him discomfort when he wasn't able to take a shower in the morning or wash off observable dirt.
Then Ceridwen, who had grown a fair bit since 1st arriving, would come down to breakfast with Ptah. All being night owls as they were, this seemed rather natural to all of them. The thing that bothered Cat was not timing of this all, no. It was the fact that each split to do their own thing after eating. And would only talk to one other out of absolutely necessity or for their dinner at about 8 or 9 in the morning.
It was frustrating to Cat, I'm supposed to be taking care of them and beside the basics I have no idea what these little ones are doing.
Cat knew that Ptah enjoyed wondering the house and the rooms in the basement, opening doors and finding old machines to take a part and put back together. And for the most part Cat offered him things to examine, but that was the only thing the two really seemed to talk about.
Ceridwen on the other hand went off into the woods for long periods of time and gathered things. Plants, animals, friends, she seem quite adept at taking care of herself in the dark cool woods. Cat had gone with her once, and she had done her best to follow but she had lost Ceridwen in the woods and felt lucky to know which way was home. So both had decided that it was best if Cat stayed behind.
"I've had enough." Cat muttered to her self as the two walked in to the early evening meal.
"What was that mom?" Ptah said sitting down at the table and digging into beef stroganoff.
"We're going out today." Taking a long drink from her cup Cat took her half eaten food and put it with the rest she had made saving for leftovers.
Ceridwen and Ptah seemed a little disturbed at the news. "But mom I was going to go to the creek tonight." Ceridwen said.
"No we're going to a party, all of us, as a family. You two are old enough to go out and about this house on your own, your old enough to suck it up and have fun together, cool?"
Ceridwen and Ptah looked at each other. Both thought that arguing would most likely get them no where.
Ptah smiled "Sounds ok to me, I've never been to party, you Ceridwen?"
Ceridwen looked to Cat and answered "No, I presume. When are we going?"
Cat smiled at the question "Once we get you guys the right clothes and I explain the rules..."
(coming soon the party post ^.^)

Jingling filled Cat''s ears as they walked away from the car. A smile crossed her face, and she was doubly pleased to see that, her two young companions also had genuine smiles. The jingling was from the small outfit worn by Ptah. He had protested about wearing the pants considering the cold night, but Cat explained that the party was going to be full of very active people and the room would be very hot very quickly. And Cat was overjoyed to see the pants made with intertwining black belts and straps adorning the young boy. Along with the blue tight shirt saying *"Happy Capitalists ... Because Sad Communists Buy Fewer Shirts" Ptah looked like the cutest thing she ever saw. Though Ceridwen does come in a very close second.thought Cat looking over at Ceridwen. In all white bondage she seemed a light in the dark damp night as they walked up the stairs to the old post office. The front of the building looked cold but bright, with limestone facade. The old structure was lit up with the small lights of the bouncers frisking people as they entered. Cat emptied her bag and was walked through soon followed by Ceridwen and Ptah, neither of who seemed to enjoy the idea of entering a place that required this kind of security. "Oh relax you two, now a days you get this kind of treatment at a base ball game." She said while paying for their tickets and getting stamped on the hand. "Yes but that is because of terrorists." Whispered Ceridwen as she and Ptah were stamped and Cat was saying Hi to a friend a foot or two away. "Yeah but this is pretty cool, isn"t it..." Ptah looked at the stamp just placed on his hand and with a mischievous smile looked over at Ceridwen, who returned the look nodding. Ushering the two into the main room Cat smiled as their jaws dropped. She had to admit the room was packed tonight, but the crowed was happy and very mellow on the side lines. People were dancing; groups near the front were jumping in time with the beat and rubbing against one another. Closer to the back liquid dancers moved and flowed with the music. Lights and lasers flashed through the soft smoke, and off in the distance behind the plastic glass that once separated employs from customers before a new post office had replaced this one, Cat saw the tale tell flashing multi colored lights of the mini lightshows being held for those taking a break from dancing. The song ended and blended into another as cat grabbed the little ones hands and moved them gently toward the other side of the glass away from the dancing. Pulling from Cats hand gently Ceridwen looked up at her. "Mom I want to dance, may I..." "In one moment sweetie, just let me cover a few things." Turning to Ptah she continued "Ok this is our safe zone, if one of you can''t find me come here, not that I plan to really let you out of my sight." Cat glanced around the side lines and spotted her friend like she had hoped she might. Being a regular, her best friend Starburst, had been Cat''s 1st choice to help with the kids at their first rave. Pointing over to Starburst Cat continued. "Ok if you want to stop dancing and you plan to come back here tell me, then go hang out with Starburst. She''s pregnant and so she won''t be dancing much. Plus she''s cool, only problem is she has no idea vampires are real. So no letting that slip, no matter how cool she would seem to take it, got me?" The two nodded and Cat smiled and went over to Starburst and introduced the three. "Oh yeah I''ve heard so much about you two, ahhh your so cute! Want a candy?" Said Star and held out her hand. Ptah being the bolder of the two with people held out his hand, and was visibly surprised when a small bright plastic bracelet was placed on his wrist. Cat laughed "Yeah you''ll learn quickly around here, every thing has just about two meanings. So what do you two want to do first?" "I want to see what those guys are doing." Said Ptah pointing at a dark man finishing a light show for a small girl laying on the ground. "Brooklyn!" Cat yelled over to him. Brooklyn looked over at Cat and nodded. Looking over at Star, Cat continued "Hey could you make sure Brooklyn shows Ptah some stuff? If he gives ya any crap? "Which he wont." Interrupted Star. "Which he wont." Cat continued smiling "But if he does remind him he owes me for last month Tuesday." Ceridwen pulled lightly on Cat''s pants. "May we dance now?" she asked with a longing on her face. Cat smiled full-size and held onto her hand rushing out to the floor. "Come on!" As the night went on Ptah and Ceridwen got the hang of the party. Going from dance floor to the side lines, talking, trading candy and generally having a good time together with Cat. By 2am the party was winding down and the three had had enough for the night. Biding good bye to Starburst and her boyfriend Joker; Cat, Ptah and Ceridwen headed back to the car. "Hey mom.." started Ptah "Yeah" replied Cat looking over at the happily sweat covered boy "I''m glad you took us out tonight." Ptah finished smiling "Yes, I feel the same way. This was really enjoyable; may we do it again soon?" Grinning Cat helped the two get into her truck "Yeah sweetie, anytime you want." (( *quote from Warehouse 23''s apparel section.))

Crash! Squeals ... then silence. It was the middle of the afternoon but the house was very dark. The windows were open but the curtains closed. And upon hearing the crash tired feet leaped from their bed in search of the source.
Fear ran through Cat. Were they hurt, are they in pain, what had happened? With her heart beating in her ears she ran to Ceridwen''s room; the one next to hers in the upstairs hall, nothing. Next she flung herself around and out the door toward Ptah''s room. Flinging the door open she saw the two huddled half under the sheets and half peaking out at her with scared faces.
Their eyes are so wide she though as she crossed the room calmly and went to their sides on the edge of Ptah''s bed.
"What''s all this about then?" said Cat touching Ptah''s shoulder.
"I heard something in my room ... and I ran in here, and it followed me." Whispered Ceridwen looking embarrassed but still slightly frightened.
Cat looked a Ceridwen then at the slightly older Ptah. They both seemed scared and were waiting for her to make things right. Looking to her right she saw the source of the crash, a window had been broken and the curtain was slightly ajar.
"Well what happened to the window?" Cat said in the kindest most motherly voice she could muster.
Ptah''s eyes grew wider and his cheeks grew very pink "I saw something move in the dark, so I threw my book at it."
Cat smiled, she was amazed at how cute they looked. Slipping off her robe to her silk semi long dress underneath, she walked to the window and placed all the glass into the robe and wrapped it up.
"Alright no coming over here until I''ve properly cleaned all the glass up, got me?"
Both nodded and Ceridwen piped up "Mom ... could you leave the curtain open? I can''t sleep in the dark now..." she rubbed her eyes while trailing off.
Cat contemplated the situation for a moment, she was tired and going through the classic long explanation of the fact there was nothing but their fears out to get them in the dark seemed far too much effort. Not to mention the arguing of "But I saw this, but I heard that." So instead she opted for the much simpler answer and the one that, she thought, would teach them more in the long run.
Cat laughed and walked over to them "Ok guys I''m going to tell you a very valuable piece of advice my dad told me when I was a child. It''s very important so listen carefully ok?" both nodded and Cat continued. "What''s there in the dark, is there in the light, wither you can see it or not. Wouldn''t it be nicer if you didn''t see it coming?"
The look on their faces nearly knocked Cat over in laughter. She wanted to break so bad, and she now understood her father''s supposedly cruel treatment when she had been scared in the dark as a child. If she didn''t show them now that facing their fears and going on with life was the right choice they''d never learn.
Ptah and Ceridwen were visibly shaken. Ceridwen was clinging to her rather large t-shirt and Ptah''s eyes had grown again, Cat was afraid they would pop.
Smiling Cat continued "Today you two can sleep in my room, but tomorrow you sleep in your own, with the lights off." Moving to the bed Cat hugged both of them "I''m not trying to be mean, but learning to face your fears is essential in life. You two are old enough to understand that, right?"
Ptah nodded and Ceridwen crawled out from under the sheets and clung to Cat. Picking her up Cat lead the way to her bedroom. Crawling into her bed she felt the two small bodies on either side of her, and held close.
"You two do understand, right?"
"Yes, it''s alright ... you wouldn''t let anything happen to us right?" murmured Cewridwen in the dark.
"No, I would give my life before I let anything hurt you." Holding them close she heard Ptah start to snore faintly.
Cat and Ceridwen laughed slightly and soon fell asleep as well.

The woods were quiet and refreshing. The night felt like a craving for something she couldn't place, elusive and desirable. She had been exploring these woods for about 7 days now, having told her mother she had joined a camp, with a fake permission slip you could do just about anything. And the $100.00 dollar check she had asked for along with the slip, to make everything seem more real, had gotten her a nice pair of hiking boots too. Ceridwen wasn't sure it was a right thing to do, but she was happy and so was everyone else, so what was the big deal?
Stepping out into a clearing her jaw dropped. She finally found out what Cat's property bumped up against, the big mansion Ptah and the other confused pretty boys she had met came from. It's large towers and cold stone surface loomed over her and she crawled out on the edge of the woods closer to the estate's main structure. The bushes and moat were a bother but nothing major to her.
Being so often in the woods had it's perks and Ceridwen had certainly been in the woods. When not at a rave Ceridwen was in the forest, mind you this was the longest period she had been in them strait; but by this point she new the ropes well. How to step on a dry twig without drawing attention, how to find food that wouldn't kill you, and how to run flat out without falling on your face or breaking a leg.
Creeping in through a window Ceridwen quietly explored the house a bit. It was huge even bigger seeming from the inside then it was from without, if that was possible. Rooms everywhere and it seemed for almost every room there was a little boy to occupy it. though that could just be my imagination ... Damn there's so many if I'm not cautious I'll be caught.
Just then a pair of strong hands griped her shoulders and she felt the most compelling response to scream she had ever had in her life. But she held her ground, she was a vampire after all... her kind didn't scream unless they were dieing. .... She was dead right? not yet said a nasty little voice in her head and she subsequently rubbed it out.
"And what, pray tell, do you think you are doing lurking around a residents not your own at this hour..." A cold firm voice crawled around from her back to fill her ears.
"I ... I ...." that's right you moron walk into his trap... "I was just sneaking in for a thrill sir, please don't kill me, I know Ptah, EEP!?".... by god that's it! she thought "... I know Ptah sir, he requested I come here to pick something up for him."
"At this time of night...?" Turning her around she finally saw the owner of the stern voice and strong hands, a man that seemed to just be ebbing into his "golden years". His eyes seemed so cold and calculating when they met hers and she felt inclined to return the favor.
"He said it was important sir."
"Well then he must have been the inquirer about the egg." Then the man grabbed her around the shoulders and lead her starkly to the kitchen and retrieved a small very oddly colored egg from a carton. "Well you'll be needing this then..." he forced the egg into her hands while giver her a cold glare.
"You"ll be leaving now." He said coolly and grabbed her once more and lead her to the door.
"I ... but... wait, you never told me your name." She babbled once they had reached the door and he was about to send her once more into the quiet cold night.
"I'm the Butler ... good night madam." And the man who seemed to own a face of placid stone shut the door in her face.
What an odd fellow .... Ceridwen thought while heading quietly down the long journey through the woods and back home.
