Damn. My creativity level = 0 but I am going to try.


The blood began to dry on the hardwood floor of the small home. Finally she began to rise, muscles screamed in protest stiff from kneeling. Pale fingers reached up to brush away the sun bleached hairs that fell into her azure orbs. Stumbling she took a step forward, hand reaching out to grasp the end of the dresser. The shattered glass lay about the bureau and the floor. She stepped carefully around the pieces towards the door, not bothering to grab the ragged cloak as she went. She went to the small room that served as a kitchen and den. A small fire was soon burning in the corner of the room, in the cast iron stove. Setting a kettle on to make tea she moved to sit in one of the three rickety chairs. Leaning back she closed her eyes, past images playing through her mind. Clouds sweeping past her, the glow of the warm sun beating down her face as she quickly flew. Hearing the whistle she leapt up pulling the pot off the burner and setting it on a small table. She poured it out, waiting only a few moments for it to cool before gulping it down. Grabbing a roll she headed out the door once more.

The storm had subsided but dark forms still hung low in the heavens. Threatening any moment to once more dump water down upon the figures below. A few had emerged, and moved about the village. Her path once more began to wind towards the woods. She stopped though hearing her human name called out.

"Mira! Wait! Where are you going?"

A dark haired set of twins were running towards her. The boy taller then his sister, and faster soon caught up. He grinned looking back for his sibling.

"Come on Jessie"

He called out teasingly to her. When she to caught up she pulled back punching him lightly in the arm a scowl marring her pretty features. The small blonde glared at them both, and they looked pleadingly at her.

"Please Mira, me and Alex won't bother you. Honest!"

The female pleaded looking with sad eyes at the pale-skinned belle. Finally with a nod she moved back in the direction of the woods, an exasperated sigh escaping her. She had to find the clearing, and besides if needed she could lose them in the forest. She set a quick walk that they easily kept pace with. Chattering along as they trailed after her.
