Goals

Upon arriving at Amityville Academy the first time Aldara had compiled a list of things that she would strive for. That list contained making herself seem so miserable that her mother would have to take her home.

That list no longer existed.

The harpy ghoul sat at her desk with a clean sheet of paper in front of her, dipping her favorite quill pen in ink before neatly writing a word at the top. Goals. She paused for a moment, staring long and hard at the word before underlining it only to stare once more. There were things that she wanted to accomplish now more than ever, but how did you put them into words without seeming silly?

1. Don't hold back.

She eyed the words on the paper before drawing a line through it, pondering once more before writing down the motto of the Monster dormitory.

Eat, drink and be scarey.

"How's that for goals?"

Rewarding

Aldara took a deep breath as she leaned back against her door after listening to it click shut behind her. She closed her eyes, counting slowly... one, two, three... releasing her breath as a smile of complete contentment curved her lips, eyes gleaming with delight.

Kicking off her shoes and tearing her 'gathering satchel' off of her shoulder, Aldara scrambled quickly over to the large hammock that made up her nest of a bed. She dumped the contents of her bag out, prodding through the bits and bobs that she'd collected for the day. There were a few beads that had bounced to the floor from broken strands of necklaces and bracelets, teeth that she had found lying about in the sand by the lake that no one would miss, bits of twine and shiny thread... And then there was the grand prize.

Slender fingers scooped up the feather as her smile broadened into a grin as she thought long and hard on how much patience she'd had in waiting for one of his feathers to actually fall unnoticed while resisting the urge to snatch one and scamper away before he could catch her and take it back. It was so pretty.

Flopping back against her hammock she held the feather up, letting the light catch the colorful sheen as she turned it slowly to see it from different angles before waggling it to watch the fluffy ends of the tail feather flutter with the movement she created. A girly moment of sheer delight followed after as she rolled out of the hammock, beads and baubles dumping out onto the floor as she hopped across the room to add one more feather to her collection.

This one was clearly the best... And totally worth the wait.
