With her mother gone, Wraith had been spending more time with her father’s side of the family. She didn’t recognize them as such, but she understood instinctively that they were related to her in a different way than her mother. Today, she had been with Talitha, but had gotten punted off to Hybrid when Priest, Cerunnos and Vermilion had gotten to be too much for Talitha to handle. Luckily, Hybrid was not a very observant father and Wraith was able to escape with ease. Hybrid seemed to be under the impression that she would be going with Valkyrie or Talitha somewhere; but wherever that was, she didn’t know. So instead, she decided to venture out from the old mansion to the strange building behind it. It was very bright and there were a lot of small plants in tiny houses, so they looked very cute and pretty. Wraith liked things that were pretty, but she also understood that being strong was more important.
She quietly padded in through an open door, staring in wonder at the different plants. She couldn’t identify them as anything more than ‘small trees,’ and since trees were so big, tall, and strong; these had to be very strong too. They were just babies, little ones like she was.
“Haw tuff aw you mistuh!” she asked one in particular. She gave it a bat with her front paw and grinned when it fell over, but returned quickly. She sniffed at it, wondering what the weird smell was. She could smell it coming from over in another corner and it was sort of the same, but not quite as strong. She continued sniffing the plant and then felt her nose tickle when the leaves touched it. She felt her chest clench up and then – suddenly! – she sneezed right onto the plant. Gross!
“You mean!” she told the plant and took a big bite out of it to show it who was boss.
