Welcome to Gaia! ::

Stephen witnessed the whole thing. When he got to his feet, he tore off after the fleeing wolves. About a minute later, he came back to the house with the limp carcass of a wolf in his jaws. his tail was swishing energetically back and forth, a satisfied look on his face.

"Amelia!" Raymei yelled, bursting out of the door. She charged through the small gathering of people and went to stand by the witch's side.
"Raymei, you should be in the house. Someone should always be in the house..." Amelia said, still clutching her stomach.
"There's a guest inside," Raymei said, grabbing Amelia's hand. "Now let's get you inside. Amelia managed a small smile then gritted her teeth as she stood up.
"Honored guests," she said, her voice filling the air. "Welcome to my home. I am Amelia. This is Raymei. The young man over there is Alonso. I have not had the opportunity to officially welcome you all yet, so that is what I am not doing. Since you are all here, it means that you belong. I hope that you will choose to stay here. Dinner is ready and on the table. I think you will all find something to your liking. I think that I will retire early tonight. It has been a busy day. Alonso and Raymei will assist you all in finding rooms. And so I bid you good day and good night." Amelia shook Raymei's hand off and walked towards the door. Amelia whispered a few words, walked through the door, and dissapeared.

"Okay, everybody," Alonso said, taking charge of the situation. "Everything is over for tonight. Let's all get inside and eat up. After dinner you can explore the house or retire to a bedroom. It's your choice. But right now we need to get inside." Alonso helped whoever needed it and Raymei hurried ahead to make sure there were enough chairs at the dinner table.

Raymei inhaled deeply then slowly exhaled. Then she walked over to the werewolf-girl.
"Umm...hi. I'm Raymei." Raymei glanced at what the girl was eating then smiled a little. "I'm glad to see you like my cooking. Amelia says I'm the best cook she's ever seen. I can make anything and everything and always make a wide variety of food so everyone can find something to eat. That's why I'm the cook. You do like it, don't you?"

Alonso watched his sister talk with the were-girl out of the corner of his eye. He was also keeping watch over the rest of the 'guests', who were all settling in and finding things to eat. Alonso found himself a large cut of pork that Raymei had seasoned with garlic and pepper then covered in soy and worcestershire sauce. His favorite. She was always cooking for him. Alonso always thought of himself as an extremely lucky boy. He has a sister that does her best every day to make him happy and she has given them both a future with her magic. But sometimes this makes Alonso feel like a dead weight.
'I know I can do something...I just have to find out what it is...'

Saleis looke dup, and wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, ridding herself of the blood, and smiled slightly. "Hello, I'm Saleis," she said, looking around and sighing, poking at her meat, and nodded. "Yes, you're cooking is very good; a lot like my mothers." She smiled, standing and picking up her plate, adding a few more slabs, and walking towards the door. "I might as well keep him company," she said, looking back, "the other were I mean," she smiled, and waving her hand and escaping to the front porch, and setting down the plate and pushing it towards him, before taking the slab she had already eaten half of. She turned into her wolf form, and started nibbing on her food slowly, before speaking the language of the weres, "What is your name?" She asked kindly, before her tongue licked away at the excess blood that dripped from her food.

Stephen grabbed a lump of meat and wolfed it down hungrily (No pun intended). Swallowing, he smiled, "My name is Stephen," he said haltingly, he somehow knew the language, though he was certain he had never herd it before, "What is yours, miss?" he took another piece of meat and ate this one more sedately.

Saleis smiled, looking up from her meat. "Saleis. Where are you from?" She asked, before biting more off her meat. "I'm from the mountians of West Virgina; from America." She said, not going into extreme detail. She then took the remaining of her meat and stood, walking a few feet into the yard and around the side of the proch to the point that she could still here Stephen. She then bite off a huge chuck and swallowed it greedily, before digging a deep hole and putting the rest of the meat in there. She turned and grabbed the wolf corpse and dumped it in there too, before filling the hole up. She smiled as grass already started to return to the soft dirt.

Raymei was making sure there was enough meat and blood set out for the guests when she heard a beautiful sound.
"Is someone in the music room?..." She walked towards the room. She thought it might be Alonso, but the music was clearly a violin, and Alonso played chello.
"Knock knock?..." She pushed the door open and spotted the vampire who had wandered off.
"Oh! Its you." Raymei looked at the ground and blushed a little. "That's really beautiful, you know. The music. Maybe you and Alonso could play sometime. He's only human, but he's really good. With the chello. I've heard the chello and the violin sound good together, but I really don't know..."

he had hoped no one would asked, but it was to be expected, "I travel around," he stopped to rub his ears when he heard the violin music, "Yegads, who's skinning the cat?" he asked, trying to stop up his ears, but not succeeding
