Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amber and Violet were both astonished. "A werecat, huh," Violet muttered in amazement.

While all this was happening Sidera had crept to the edge of the loft and watched the entire scene. The cat was probably right, that man was smart, he had been planning to do bad things to her, she could tell. He would check high and low for her and she needed a safer place to stay. The star shivered even though she didn't feel a bit cold. Just the thought of being in that room or seeing that man again made her legs turn to jelly and her light dim.
"Puh- please. Show us where," she said to the cat from above. She spoke slowly, playing with her words, tasting each one. It was a strange thing, speaking, for she knew every language of every creature but she had never needed to speak them before.
The girl, Amber, looked up at her, amazement clearly visible on her face. It must have been an odd night for her, though she probably didn't understand most of what was going on. Sidera would have to bless her with something once this whole ordeal was over and she was a star again, though she wasn't quite sure if that future was a possibility anymore.

"Well, you heard the girl! Show us where this hiding place is!" Violet agreed, wanting to get out of the stinky and dank barn.
"Hold up Vi, we still have to wait for Flynn, we can't just ditch him," Amber said in annoyance.
Violet sighed, "Oh yeas, him. I was hoping we could just forget about him, but whatever. We can wait for him if you seem so inclined."

Fydell rolled her eyes again, padding towards the doorway.
"I am not a he, thank you. And I belong to no human! No! I am a mighty werecat!" She exclaimed, much more dramatic than most would like.
"And I, your mighty werecat guide, will take you to the hiding spot!" She said, looking over at Sidera. There was something different about her, and she didn't smell like most humans. She had a certain glow coming off of her that Fydell admired.
She then used her tail to gesture to follow, looking up at Flynn. "If you have any questions, ask those two. I don't feel like explaining again," she said, before padding out the barn door, making sure that they kept up, and she headed for Phantasos's mansion.

Fydell expertly weaved the path, constantly adjusting her speed so she was only a few feet in front them.
It took three alleys, a few backcountry roads, and many short, yowled conversations with other werecats, Fydell padded up the familiar walkway and then disappeared through the catflap a moment.
She ran through the house, heading to the living room, where she found Phantasos with Rexy. The plastic dinosaur was busy devouring plush dolls when Fydell found him. In a moment, Fydell jumped on the table and sat on the plush dolls, looking specifically at his eyes. One red, one blue, as usual.
"We have guests," she said. He looked up at her, then, hesitating, he scratched behind her ear and grinned, standing up and taking Rexy to open the door.
He arrived at the door and opened it, before he bowed and said "Hello! I'm Phantasos! How are you doing? Do you happen to have any plastic food? This plush isn't sitting well in Rexy's stomach."
Phantasos gazed off, somehow seeming elsewhere for a moment before he continued.
"Anyways; I'm sure that if you want to stay, you can take any room except for mine... Fydell sleeps elsewhere. Well, you may wake up to a dinosaur in your face, but he's quite harmless."

Flynn followed closely before seeing the building. He was a bit spaced before the man opened the door. He looked at him, instantly seeing that he wasn't going to harm them. In fact, he seemed cheerful and happy like a little child. "Thank you for your hospitality, Phantasos. I'm Flynn." His voice was very casual, almost gentleman like, not the voice he spoke to Amber and Violet with. His eyes narrowed a bit, trying to think of what he's going to do after here. He really didn't have anywhere else to go, unless...Amber called that number. She would get a reward, but that would mean he will be trapped...again.

When the man asked if they were hungry, Sidera remembered the gnawing feeling in her new stomach. She hadn't been quite sure what it was, and she was convinced it was just the straps cutting into her skin, but the pain came from the inside, so eventually she confirmed it was hunger.
As her stomach grumbled she nodded eagerly and thought, A meal sounds good about now! She had never eaten before and was interested about the experience. Her throat was parched so she had a hard time speaking, but she asked anyways, "What does it feel like... to eat?"
She remembered the noise of the voices she heard when they ate. It sounded like satisfaction and she glowed brighter when the people circling around her were happy and healthy. She cared very much for her people, she blessed them as only a star could bless, and listened to their voices every day.
She glanced at the man, Phantasos with curiosity.
What a peculiar man, she thought. It seemed as though he had a strange obsession with his plastic dinosaur, not to mention his eyes were two different colors, something not seen on this planet.


Amber stood still for a moment, watching Sidera and Flynn disapear inside the building with Phantasos.
"Well, this has certainly been an interesting night, now let's head home! I'm tired," Violet said with a yawn. But Amber wasn't really focusing on her friend.
"I wonder about that girl. I mean, she glows! Did you not just see her glow, like, like a light bulb!"
Violet rolled her eyes, "Yes, of course I saw her glow, she was too bright to miss! There's definitely something strange about her, that cat, that man, heck, maybe there's something supernatural about that boy too," she snorted. "C'mon Amber, we have to go to school tomorrow anyways. Let's go home and get some rest, otherwise we might not make it all the way back." She turned back down the alley and started walking the direction they came. Amber nodded warily and followed her friend, watching the door Sidera and Flynn had gone through until it disappeared in the darkness.
Something told her they'd cross paths again.

Flynn watched Sidera before seeing that the man was looking at him. He felt a bit uneasy, but he knew that he was safe as long as he was in this manor...for now. He looked at the bread, ham and cheese, but he simply did not have an appetite. "...Is there something wrong?" he finally asked Phantasos. He didn't want his stay to be like this for the whole time he was there. He thought it would be a good idea to get to know this guy.
