Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chloe knew she had missed something. the way he had moved so quickly to one side. She looked back at the mirror and then at Soma. *Oh my gosh....* she thought silently. she stepped away to the sink and started washing the makeup off.

"yeah, my face, it looks terrible." she said. Sam limped back in and sat on the edge of the bed. he looked at soma's more than usual pale face and at Chloe. "Did i miss something?" he asked.

[[i got to go srry, my dad wants to get on=( ]]]

Sam felt irritated. he knew something had happened and Soma had let him down before. *Thats not it though.* he thought- trying to think of whatever it was that was irritating him. Sam's stomach growled and he remembered that he hadn't eaten in a day. Sam's eyes grew wide. he could smell Chloe from where she was over by the sink, still washing her face off. "Soma, open the window." Sam said, slowly, trying to ignore Chloe.

Sam ran over to the window. he growled at Soma, "I can ignore the food thats set infront of me." he leaped out of the window, and was lost from sight in the blizzard. Sam took off his clothes and changed. he felt fire running along his whole body as his skeletal structure morphed and he felt his lelg healing. once he was completely changed he let out a low howl andstarted running. it took him a few minutes to pick up a scent in the snow but he caught one and within a minute he found the deer. there were three of them and Sam pounced on the buck, burying his teeth deep into the neck. the warm blood felt good, like an icing ontop of a cake and Sam ripped into the animal as soon as it fell to the ground.he ripped out the ribcage and gorged on the flesh, digging deeper for the heart. *the best part.* he thought. When he finished there wasn't much left of the deer but Sam was satisfied, he wasn't exactly stuffed but he wasn't hungry anymore. *not as good as a human but at least i don't have the guilt.* Sam loped back to the school. he couldn't believe how much it had snowed. *I thought we had it bad in Mass, but this is so much more than what we ever got down there.* Sam dug around in the snow until he finally found his clothes. he changed and shook off most of the snow and put them on. then he scooped up some snow which instantly melted in his hands and cleaned his face of the blood and gore. he walked over to the window, digging it out of the snow yet again and knocked.

Cassie dried her face on the towel next to the sink. when she turned around and realized that Sam wasn't there. "oh, when did he leave?" she asked. "I must not have heard because of the water or something." she muttered. then she heard the knocking on the window again. "hah that must be him." she said, walking over to the window.

Sam smiled, but didn't show his teeth. "yeah, I did actually. I'm not sure why but I guess I'm more addicted than i thought I was." Sam looked at Soma's pocket, wary of the gun. *Can i not hunt on deer either?* he wondered.

Chloe looked at them. "is that were you went? oh, sorry for not liking the smoke, then you wouldn't have to go outside." she apologized. *I wonder if thats what he really went out to do. but it seemed to be about the right time if he did the whole Cigarette. I'm just paranoid..... as always.* she thought.

Sam wiped the blood off with the back of his hand and looked at it. "My lip must've cracked out there. They dry out quickly." he explained. Which was true. they actually were dry.

Chloe retrieved her backpack and dug through it. "Ah, here you go, here's some chapstick. I have a similar problem." she handed the stick to Sam.

Sam took the white tube from her and scratched some off with his nail. he capped it and tossed it back to Chloe. "Thanks," he said, smearing it on.

Chloe looked at Soma. "you can play the flute?" she asked him.

"Who'd have thought." Sam commented sarcastically.

Chloe shook her head. "I don't really know any classical music."
