homeward bound (open)

After quite some time of silence in the forest of pitch peek, Cinna has returned from her long trip. Coming home to her family and friends of the pack, dragging behind her a bear bigger than ever seen in the lands before.

Still contemplating what she has seen and were she has been. *She walks silently through her old hunting paths approaching the peak listening to the old familiar sounds* to which she once lived and will live again. The singing of the riddle bird, to the hiss of the sith snake, the patter of the water falls in the distance, and the rustle of the leaves in the wind.

she has travel far and wide been to the thickened jungles and the most barren deserts, but this place, this haven and heaven is her home and she could never forget it, nor could she hold back her feelings any longer and *lets out a howl that rang through the forest and echoed far into the village.* A howl, her howl, one that has been absent from the forest for far too long.

Alisha Ferro was busy relaxing on a tree branch in one of the old oak trees. She wore a plain white button up shirt and dark brown riding pants. Her blonde locks were done up in a low pony tail to the side. She didn't bother to tell her cats where she was, they would just annoy her, well one would anyway.

Leaning on the back of the tree she took out her old spell book. She smiles as she hear the birds singing and the sounds of life. She slowly started to forget about the piles of papers that waited for her at home, or the blue prints for the upgrades for the amusement park. Right now those things didn't matter.

Alisha had almost completely forgotten about the world outside her, until she heard a loud howl that came out of nowhere and scared her. She dropped the old book and watched it fall out of the tree bumping other branches and hopping that the old spell book would not break.

After spending too much time in hostile environments, were every sound was something trying to kill you, she was faster than ever before and not as wasteful. To the sound of the something falling Cinna dropped the bear and bolted to were the sound was.

Seeing how it wasn’t that far away she got their in time to catch that was falling. And just as she thought the sound wasn’t native to the forest. it was a book with metal on it and it seemed very old.

Cinna heard the beating of someone’s heart and looked up, and in the tree there was someone new, someone she had never seen before.

it was odd most people avoid the forest as it has a high number of dangerous creatures, meaning she wasn’t just another lost farmer. Staring up at her and looking at this girls light colour clothes, only made her wonder why she would be here. Seeing how Cinna was only wearing a pair or ripped old gloves and nothing else.

No, no, no, no. She started to panic when she didn't hear the thump from the book hitting the ground. She was about to jump down from the tree but stopped when she saw a girl holding on to the book. Thankfully the book was okay."Thanks." She smiled as she started to jump down.

Alisha decided to be careful this time. Leo and Boris would not be too happy if she injured herself at a busy time like this. She choice sturdy looking branches to land on and in a matter on minutes she was already on the ground. "I'm sorry if that hit you or anything."She apologized with a slight bow.

Still throughout all the travels Cinna didn’t learn any more then she already knew so she still had a problem talking to people. Still just holding the book she just looks at her speechless.

looking her up and down and not seeing any signs of weaponry, doesn’t seem overly strong or confident, no clear signs of defending herself what is she doing here with no seeming reason to be afraid she just relaxes and stands there.

her human interaction is still very poor, most still try and kill her so she doesn’t know means of showing respect, so this strange girl bowing in front of her bewildered her. So she tried to talk to her.

wh..wh..who wh..why

Trying to ask who she was and why was she not only in the forest but also do a strange thing. All with a confused look on her face and still holding the book.

Alisha smiled, the girl was cute, she seemed a bit embarrassed or awkward, "I'm Alisha Ferro."She smiled and shacked the girls free hand, "This seemed like a nice peaceful place to relax." She explained. She looked at the girls clothes that were girl was under dressed. Hm, we need to fix that."

She pulled a lard leaf off a tree and some flowers. She could already hear the voices in her head telling her not to use magic, but she had to. She carefully arranged the flowers on the leaf before casting a spell. The leaf turned into a short green floral dress and black tights. proud of her work she handed it to the girl, "For catching my book." She smiled."And your name is?"

Cinna had never seen anything like that before so she handed the book back over and started sniffing the dress. She had never worn clothes, besides the cloves, in the forest before. And furthermore it was made from leaves.

It was very interesting. As for her thinking this was a safe place it was on one of the hunters routs. Cinna never liked the hunters they were all ways shooting as her family and even shooting at her. In her mind they would shoot at anything.

Pointing to herself she reply’s

Cinna

one of the only words she could say properly. She sniffed the dress again and it still smelt like leaves, which was odd so she goes took a bite out of it.

Thinking
what could she of done to it smells the same but its different I wonder what it tastes like

She always did hate wearing clothes.

Alisha smiled when the girl introduced herself. She laughed when the girl bit into the clothing. "I gathered your not human. Does it taste any good?" She giggled. Alisha already crossed cat of her list. She could tell that the girl was nothing like the Cheshire twins, maybe a type of dog.

Cinna taking a large chunk out of it. But not what she expects she spits it out and drops the dress to the ground. "no yum" listening carefully as the wind blows and their air gets colder and colder. Sniffing the wind and the moisture.

Looking up at the sky rain there were clouds but nothing too dark as it starts to slightly sprinkle.

Cinna always liked the rain it was always one of her favourite things to just stand in the rain and let the water fall over her. The forest always goes silent when it rains. The birds stop singing. And all others find shelter.

As the rain falls it makes music as it hits the leaves, slams to the ground and hits in the air.
She always loses herself in the rain almost forgetting about the other girl their rain she repeats with a little smile as it starts to dribble on them

Alisha looked up at the sky with the girl as it started to rain.She started to wish she at least told Leo that where she was. It would have been amusing to see the cat complain about getting his hair wet or his new clothes. She looked back at the girl and remembered her comment about the clothing."Are you hungry?" She asked while looking at the girl who seemed to have lost herself in the rain. Just who is this girl. She thought.

Cinna shacks her head as she lets out another little howl. And the sound of the forest comes to life. birds fly away, in the distance dear and other animals run away when a pack of wolves come out of nowhere and completely surround the two of us.

Wolves two and three times the normal size of an over grown wolf completely surround us on the ground and a few on thicker branches of trees.

Cinna starts to speak to them in a way most couldn’t comprehend. And a wolf larger than all the rest walks out of the tree line.

it has been a long time since she last saw her family and how they have grown. the ones she saw as pups are now all grown up and the size of a bear. The wolves she had trained are now the strongest of the pack and the leader has grown older then she could of expected.

Alisha stood there frozen for a moment. So many wolves. She looked back at the girl who was communicating to them, So that's what she is. The only question that remains is if they are her friends or foes.. From the corner of her eye she could see that they were surrounded. She could already hear Leos lecturing voice in her head about leaving without warning. She watched as Cinna continued to communicate to the wolves. She looked up to see there were more. She crossed off tree top of her escape list if that was needed. Alisha decided to stay quite and see what would happen next.

Two wolves started cycling her, sniffing her as Cinna continued talking to the largest one. Cinna let out a little howl as did the wolf. And one by one they started to leave back up the mountain back up to the peak.

And through the trees at a distance they could see that the wolves were dragging the massive bear up with them. The last ones to leave were the ones cycling Alisha. As they all left Cinna started to walk up with them, but then stopped.

It didn’t seem right for her to just leave the girl standing their alone in the rain were hunters could find her. Walking back to her standing arm’s length apart Cinna asks home?
Even besides the hunters the forest can be very dangers by itself. And Cinna is concerned about the sweet girl’s health and safety.

Alisha looked at them. To see the wolves life might actually be fun. She might be able to learn a thing or two to scare her cats. Plus home equaled lots and lots of paper work."Could I stay with you guys for a bit?" She asked, at the end biting her lower lip. She wasn't really sure how this would end. She could hear her her phone do off. Guessing it was Leo she decided to ignore it, most likely the conversation would have ended with 'why are you not at the desk?!'

all she got from the question was 'stay' and 'you' but that was enough to gather what she meant so she gave a little nod, sure someone else could be ok she was looking forward to spending time with her family but can’t just leave her alone.

A strange sound was coming from one of her pockets so Cinna decided to investigate. Walking right up to her and listening and stiffing the pocked were the strange noise was coming from.

She had no idea of personal space. In her family if you wanted space you would growl and tell them to 'back off' but with humans she had no clue about privacy.

Finally pocking the pocket and it picks up the call wh...what?

Alisha would have jumped up and down with joy if it wasn't for her phone. She started to laugh as the girl sniffed at her pocket where the phone was. So she doesn't really know what a phone is? Suddenly the loud frantic voice of Leo boomed out. "Alisha Ferro where on Earth are you. And don't be smart...""Leo, calm down." The dull voice of his twin Boris would be heard from the background. "I'm out with a friend, don't worry." Alisha said as she was about to hit her pocket to end the call. Before she cut it off Leo voice could still be heard. "If you don't tell me where you are I will sniff you out.

"Sorry about that. I sort of left without telling them Your family must be waiting we should hurry up." She smiled as she took the girls hand and ran towards where the others where.

As she gets pulled along she doesn’t really care, its good people not trying to kill you. she starts poking the pocket again as they run and thinking to herself why would you want something that just makes noise at you

As we get closer theirs a garden of bones on the sides of a walk way up to the cave. There are bones of every creature that live in the forest, along with remains of hunters who have tried to harm them pack.

There was a large city like that, there were huge walls surrounding it and bones as if a garden were spread around the walls. But unlike their most of these bones aren’t human. Cinna thinking this is normal pays no mind to them as she put most of them there and just keeps walking up the path as a human would walk home.

After all this was her home, and it was her garden and after a long time she was finally home. Now just hoping nothing bad happens to her new friend.

Alisha looked at the bones with no facial expression, she did not know what to think of them. She bit the bottom of her lip as her hand slowly reached out to tough one. She has never seen raw bones, she has seen a few corpses in her life but to see bones this big was a first. Could these be bones that were mentioned in the book? The bones were smooth. She closed her eyes to see if she could see any of the deceased life while chanting some words. But she saw nothing but darkness it was like the bone was thousands of years old. "What animals are these from?" She asked as she turned to face the girl.

She smirked and let out a little giggle as she pointed to the mouth of the cave, and hanging from the top was a dragon’s skull. Only a hand full of dragons were ever killed in this area, normally they flew away or died of old age.

But the only way for bones to end up in the garden was for the pack to of killed it. the garden was more than just a warning to stay away it was a graveyard to honour those who have died by the pack. Only the true challenges have their skulls shown in such a way.

but what could she know about the workings of magic, she could barely figure out humans. as she continue walking, she passes giants bones, demon, bear and human. And every bone was placed their intensely.

She turns back and smiles again, stopping and motioning towards the cave yum after all she killed the bear may as well eat it.

She looked at the dragon, her jaw dropped. She took out her phone to take a photo of it, this was ineradicable. She was about to see if she could look into the dragons past, but was stopped by the girl pointing at the cave saying 'yum'. Alisha followed her into the cave and looked at the bear. Lady like skill would not be needed for this since she gathered there was no knife and fork just bare hands. This will be fun, I just have to look into that dragon later.

Cinna picked up a hunting knife and put a slit from the neck all the way down its belly and skinned it and through the skin into a corner near an arch. through their is where the slept in winter it is nice and warm as it is floored with the skins of thousands of animals and the skins are also on the walls and the roof.

She begins to strike rocks together trying to get a spark to start a fire. Cinna and the wolves can eat it un-cooked but it doesn’t go with Cinna's habit of cooking she loves cooking after all. If she can get the fair started that is.

It was so long since she last cooked for her family, they don’t normally get guests and that’s the only time she actually cooks. As she smiles pointing to the bear yum though it will take some time before it can be eaten after it starts to cook.

Just a little bit too much blood. She thought as she kept her poker face up. She was about to help the girl light the fire with her magic, but it wasn't needed. She was surprised when she saw the girl cook, her language skills were not the best, yet she was able to do other stuff such a cook. Just who is this Cinna? Alisha looked out at the entrance of the it was starting to get dark. She then looked at the others who were in the cave. "Hi, I'm Alisha Ferro." She smiled awkwardly as she introduced herself wondering if they could understand her.

Meanwhile.
The long brown haired Cheshire car walked back and forth as his brother held on to a bunny plushie. "I warned her that I'll sniff her out if she didn't tell me where she went." Leo turned to her brother, "We are going to have to find her." The other neko sighed as he placed the bunny down. "She is old enough to take care of herself, but it is getting dark."

Cinna got the fire going and the bear was being cooked over their burning wood. Jess despised fire. Cinna likes to cook as it gives her something, Jess just likes to hunt and kill and eat things raw. Cinna sits back against one of the walls as the fire burns.

She starts to giggle as the girl starts to talk to the rest of the pack. It was quite funny as they had no clue what she was talking about. Cinna patting the spot next to her agents the wall inviting her to sit down.

time this was her trying to say it will take a while to actually cook, after all it is a big bear.

She just sat their giggling; this after all was the first in a long time when a human wasn’t after her. Not that anything would happen in her own den.

After a moment of silence Alisha gathered that they did not understand English. She sat next the Cinna and nodded. "How did you learn to cook she asked?" She was thinking about adding in when did you learn to speak, but thought not to rush things.

The Cheshire twins locked the large gate behind them, "Since when were you able to sniff people out?" Boris asked. Leo stood there frozen for a moment before smiling"Well we can always learn." He grinned with the famous Cheshire smile before walking off into the unknown.

Cinna smiles and lays her head back for a second thinking. She never really knew she just kind of picked it up from stalking the hunters but may as well give her an answer. So she holds up the hunting knife learn

Conversation was always hard with Cinna she could never really pick it up so she always gets embarrass when talking to someone. Cinna cook, Jess huntafter all she didn’t want to freak her out if she had to change into Jess so she thought that it would be better to warn her just in case.

Then three wolves come in dragging what looks like a large dog. This was through to the younger wolves but none of them ate until Cinna gestured it was ok. Then facing the three other wolves, blood stained and badly scared. hunt
