Alena was walking home from school one chilly evening. Her father was on a business trip, with her mother, so she was home all alone...she hated that. Remembering to check the mail, she stepped aside and opened the mailbox.
A large brown package lay inside. Scribbly handwriting stated:
To Alena
Love Grandma Esa
Alena was surprised. her Grandma Esa was very secretive. She'd never even seen her before!
Filled with curiosity, Alena's long legs carried her to her room, where she flipped back a tangle of black hair and began to open the package...

((Mary W. believes in God, and that's all I'm going to say.))

((Shistian, Shistian... what is Shistian? I am not Shistian, that is for sure- oh, wait, was that a typo for Christian? Anyway, yes, I'm Catholic. Mara in the Bible began as Naomi, whose name means "pleasant" but when her life started getting as sorrowful she changed it to Mara, which means "bitter" and then she started feeling better about herself- with Ruth's help- and changed it back to Naomi.
Sorry about that, if you didn't find it interesting. :/ I'll see if I can find the EoO books at the library. Thanks for the recommendation, Caroline.
Oh, and occasionally I'll see a misspelling of Alena's name on her. An accidental "Alana" is okay, but the name is not Alessa.
I'm sorry, I need to organize my brain before I can post any real writing on here, because thus roleplay and the one with Sam/Ahtnamas keeps getting mixed up in my head. Sorry! I'll post more soon. *sheepishly*))

That sounded sort of... accusing, didn't it, Lena? (no offense)
(May 16, 2009 - 3:17 pm)
None taken. :) I didn't mean it to be accusatory, honest. I was just trying to stop things before they got out of hand... but it probably would've been better if I hadn't said anything. I'm really, really sorry. :( You know me, this is going to haunt me until you forgive me.
Oh, and I'm sorry I didn't get back quicker. I've been busy.

((@ Caroline: Just so you know, I don't at all
believe that black cats are unlucky. In fact, we
have one (well, with a few white places, but still).
And it is terrible the way people treat black cats
(and all cats, for that matter). I simply picked a
black cat because it fit the part.))

Agree about black cats - it's like people, what color hair they have shouldn't affect how we treat them. All the same, I like the choice of black. Nothing wrong with using a color associated with creepy things.

When Alena awoke the first thing she noticed was a strange man with black hair and one strange yellowish, cat like, eye. She was in a small room with no windows and a locked door, bolted shut. Somehow Alena knew she was safe. " Are you the cat?" asked Alena. "Well duh" replied the man. "I saved you from becoming like your friend. Possessed. The problem was in order to do it I had to give you one of my eyes. You are safe from possesion from the spirit world, but when the moon is full you turn into a were-cat.
(( duh dah duuuhhhhhhhhhhhh. )))
(May 19, 2009 - 4:40 pm)
(( Was that too creepy? Now Alena has mismatched eyes, and the cat man has only one eye. Me and my love of strange eyes.))
(May 19, 2009 - 4:42 pm)
((Not too creepy at all. It was a very good plot twist- I was extremely caught off guard (in a good way). ;)
Nonono, Lena! Not offended or anything at all! Do not let this haunt you, it's no big deal! Knowing me, I could completely go off on a tangent about theology and Caroline's books and what-is-Shistian and stuff like that... please, don't worry! And if you do... *villain laugh* ...then I will bombard you with ellipses!
/immaturity/ ;) ))
"Um, um," said Alana, grasping for words, "that's, um, er, haha, very interesting... yes, that's the word... mm..."
"Will you stop babbling?" the man asked lazily, examining his thumbnail. "I do detest stuttering."
"Yes, yes, of course, my bad-"
"I have a better idea," said the man sardonically. "Since it seems that you can't open your mouth without garbling up the words, why dn't you just say nothing at all." He looked satsified with this suggestion.
"Oh, yes, yes, naturally, a very good idea."
He sent a baleful glance her way.

Thanks, Mary W. :)

It wasn't necessarily too creepy, just a little sudden.
