Wish had always been a fun-loving, trouble-attracting, adventure-seeking Katorai, but of late she had begun to grow bored with her watery home. She wanted to find something new - something ... different. Something dry. Of course, the logical next step was to go out onto land - and why not? She had legs, she wasn't a water-bound undine after all. No, she was free ... free to roam where she wished.
At the moment, she was walking around the base of ... a rather enormous tree that had a door and windows. That was interesting ... door and windows. Obviously a home of some sort. But to whom? To how many? Why a tree?
It looked like fun.
Her eyes glinted with mischief as she walked up to one of the windows and pressed her face against it, her hands cupping around her eyes to block the sun and allow her a closer look.

All the windows on the lower level with dark with only the light from the setting sun bringing them with light. It would be hard to see anything in the kitchen window that the female was looking into.
But then almost suddenly in the top most window that was at this time about half way up the tree a light shone and as if by magic at least a low light in almost ever window, and if not at least on every floor a light lit. All the way down to the kitchen where lights on the dinning room table glowed and the island where a chandler hung sparked up.
The only movement in the house though seemed to be coming from the top most window.

Wish jumped back in surprise when the light came on in the window, but once she got over it she moved back to the window to peer inside again. It was curious ... she couldn't see anyone ... where had the light come from?
"Hello!" she called out, knocking on the window to see if someone was nearby. "Hey! Anyone there?"
There was no movement from within, and she circled the tree and headed towards the door instead. There, she pounded on the door as hard as she could. "Hello!" she hollered as loudly as she dared. "Is anybody in there?"
Maybe the house was haunted. Her eyes lit up at the thought. Wouldn't it be fun to see a haunted house? Well, if she didn't get a response soon, she would go in and check it out. She had never seen a ghost, but maybe she would find one inside!

There was no answer from inside. There was no movement what so ever on the lower levels. And the shadow moving along the top floor seemed to have stopped moving and could not longer be seen.
Bt the lights on the table flickered as if something unseen was moving but them. when Wish would try the door handle it would open easily.

Wish waited almost a full minute before she decided that no one was going to answer her knock, and with a glint in her eye she reached for the door handle and turned it. The door opened easily beneath her hand, and her heart raced with excitement as she stepped inside and looked around.
"Beautiful," she breathed. "Oh, I can't wait to see if there are any ghosts in here!"
She giggled and closed the door behind herself, then headed towards the set of stairs that she saw in one corner. Stooping to all fours, she began to make her way upwards, giggling softly to herself but otherwise trying not to make any noise so that she wouldn't scare any of the possible ghosts away.
Ironic thought.

As the door opened the air in the house seemed soft and light but as soon as she shut the door the air started grew thick and the sound of the lock on the door clicked shut.
Moving more silently that she was the tall dark master of the house moved along the shadows he knew so well. As the female mounted the stares he moved a different way his cold eyes still watching her. "Ghosts are not what you will find here." he said in a low rich accented voice. Though his form was still hidden from view. "It is always strays that wander in here..."

Wish felt the darkness thick around her, but rather than being afraid it only made her more excited. She loved this place! And how could she not? It was so mysterious ...
She jumped, startled, when she heard a voice piercing the darkness, and she stood up straight and pressed herself against the wall, trying to hide in the shadows, thought the light blue of her fur made it almost impossible. Suddenly she laughed aloud. She had been looking for ghosts - and now look at her now that she had found one!
Or not ... it claimed not to be a ghost ...
"Strays?" she asked in a challenging tone, looking around and trying to see who had spoken. "Is that what I am?"
She giggled, hoping that the voice would speak again. That accent ... she didn't know what kind it was, but she wanted to hear it again ... hear that lovely voice ...

Casimiro's black eyes looked over her. She was the same as Shemei...when the cat like katorai and found here way here. He the blue skin might make a nice addition to thier home...
"You have no home and you wandered into mine....your a filthy stray!" He watched the way her body moved...he loved seeing males and females squirm with fear and pain. He could hear her brave tone and the challenge in it. He moved still unseen. to a different spot so she could not track his voice.
"Do not tell me you wish to stay here...there are no ghosts... tortured memories....but no ghosts..."

Wish's eyes glinted in the darkness, her ears twitching to try to find out where exactly the voice was coming from.
"No ghosts?" she repeated in a singsong tone, followed by a giggle. "But what are you, then? I can hear you from different places, but I can't see you ... come out, Mr. Not Ghost, I want to seeeeee youuuuuu ...."
She moved away from the wall, her heart racing - but she was loving every moment of it.

The candles along the stairs and in the first floor hall way blew out, "You do not order me to do your will." he said his accent harsh and his voice cold. "You filthy little stray I am not something you can command." she was held suddenly to the wall by his hand around her neck and his face a few inches from her's.
"I am master of this house and if you wish to stay here you will do well to know that!"

The fur on the back of Wish's neck was standing straight on end, and she could feel that whoever it was was drawing nearer to her ...
Her hair prickled all over her body as the candles went out, and a shiver ran down her spine. But it wasn't her fear that was growing ... it was her excitement ...
She cried out as she was pinned to the wall by a hand on her neck, and she opened her eyes wide, suddenly seeing a purple face inches from her own.
"Oooooo," she breathed slowly, not at all intimidated by his violence and scare tactics. "You're a cutie ..."
She giggled and didn't even try to struggle. "And if I get to stay here," she grinned impishly at him, "do I get to stay in your room with you? We could have such fun together!"

Casimiro's anger grew at her words. How dare she talk to him of his looks, "I would never share my bed with a disgusting female like you." he dropped her to the stairs and turned to walk down them. The lights flickering on as he pasted them.
He was starting to loose his patience with his female and she was not squirming. That was not exciting him. He moved to the solid stone room where Firrah and Shimei had been welcomed into the house. He knew this female would follow him.

Wish pouted as he let go of her and stalked off. This wasn't fun anymore ... why was he being such a spoilsport?
"Aw, come on," she whined, following after him. "What happened? We were having such a lovely time ..."
She followed him into the room, not at all suspecting what lay in store for her.

Casimiro wants to tear the smile from her face he wanted to make sure she never smiled again but he for once did not know where to begin. She was clearly a bit screwed up in the brain category.
But he knew she would follow him into the room and when she did he slapped her hard across the face, in a small fire a brand sat already red with heat. The house always did tell him how he wanted the newest member's sacrifice to be given.
