Welcome to Gaia! ::

Salies stood at the sound of that last screech. She picked up the violin, her claws growing. "Do you want to know what we hear, Mr. Musical Taste?" she snapped, her claws running across the strings making a sharp screech like nails across a chalk board. Then she did it again, and again, again, but the strings finally broke. "That's what we hear." she said, dropping the violin on the floor like it was nothing. "And I could sing better then you." she snapped, turning and storming from the room, muttering about big-head, blood-wash, brain-empty vampires.

When Saleis returned to her room, she sat at her desk and picked up the quill, tilting her head to the side. What should she write? She thought then dipped the quill in ink:

A Letter to My Dear Sister,

I've found my way through the mountians and found the sea. Upon seeing the full moon ov'r the deep, black water, I knew I had to find out where the reflection would lead me; and I only wished it finds a new pack, kind and loving.

I was wrong.

Upon every European Pack I encountered, I was challenged by the Alpha Female, and crooned and howled over by the males, wishing for my pups. I did, after all, have the scent of a Princess.

For so long I ran, and hunts alone. I met others, loners--by their choice--I would hunt with them, but they moved on and I learned I must too. I grew accustomed to being alone and I lost the hope that my howl would ever be answered. I crossed the vast land, learning the languages and culture. After monthes, I reached the coast. I was broke of all money, tired, and lonely. After camping on the beach for a few days, I turned, howled one prayer to the moon, and I sprinted 'cross the land again. I stopped only for hunting; all I can remember from that trek was the scent from each place I passed.

A month went by and I finally stopped. Once again, I was near to ocean. This time I had no hope and no energy. I found an empty, damp, cold cave and I slept.

I have never had such horrid nightmares before. Oh I would wake, screamingfor Papa, Mother, you, and Baby Jared. Each time I woke to my echoing voice. I was so depressing, I kept wolf, growling a warning to other loners; some, my friends I made on my first crossing to the other coast.

Finally I grew enough energy to get water and possiably hunt for a hare of a fawn. But with the sight of my reflection in the water, I worked to repair my broken apperance. Then I worked to bring the shine back to my coat. I brought down a buck and ate hungryily. While I ate, I gazed fondly at the moon. Upon finsihing my meal, I ran towards the moon. The trees peeled away and a hill should. On the top of the hill sat a house. Curiousity struck me and I changed human, even thought I wished to stay wolf, and I walked up to the front door, knocking lightly. To my supprise a young witch answered the door.

I've finally, hopfully, found my home. I can pray you did too.

~Your Sister.


Salies put the quill down, waiting for the ink to dry. When it did, she picked up the piece of paper, folding it and slid it between her matteresses. She didn't even know if her sister was alive. But at least she had the courage to write about Baby Jared. She sighed and laid on her bed, closing her eyes peacefully, and sighed again. Life here could be good, even with some pet peeves, like that Vampire or the Elf. But perhaps life could be good.

Alonso had heard the commotion and had rushed to the music room just as the female wereworld, Salies, had left. He saw that everything was calm, so he went to stand by his sister, who was grinning.
"Such a musical bunch!" Raymei cooed. "Now I just need to perfect an instrument. Alonso, what should I play?"
"I don't care. Just not the tuba, okay?"
"Why not the tuba?"
Alonso's lips turned into a hard frown. "I don't like the tuba. Not one bit."
Raymei laughed. "Ha...okay, I'll stay away from the tuba."
"Good," Alonso said, his mouth still a hard line. Raymei laughed at his expression and Alonso smiled a bit. He could always make his sister laugh. Then he felt his cheeks grow hot as he remembered that the house wasn't empty anymore. But he didn't say anything to his sister. Why ruin her fun?

"Down the hall that-a-way" said Raymei, pointing. "Then up the stairs." Raymei pointed up. "Pick any room that isn't taken. There aren't any locks, so be sure to knock first."

"I think Kaylan has the right idea," Alonso said, talking above every other noise in the room. "It is late and I think everybody should head to bed. There isn't exactly a curfew, but it is a good idea to get to bed at a reasonable time."
"Night, everybody!" Raymei said, bouncing before hurrying up the stairs and to her room, which was across from Alonso's and had a sign on it that said 'Raymei's Room'. Alonso laughed and followed his sister. His door had a sign that said 'A.J.' Others would get the idea; they'd soon have some sort of signs on their doors. And after a few days this place would be a big happy family. Family quarrels and all.

((i command everyone else to go to bed!!! RAWR!!! once everyone has Raymei will wake up and make breakfast. yum yum. ooh...now i want bacon and eggs. sadly there is none in my house... crying ))
