Spring started skipping as they neared the forest, humming a soft, but woeful song under her breath, her curls bounced with every delicate skip she took, often stopping to glance back at Laurell and offer ehr a soft, friendly smile, soon they arrived to a dense part of the forest ti was pitch black, Springs increased sight ment she was able to lead Laurell through without harming either of them, they soon arrived to a huge tree, two candles were lit in burners by a carved front door, Spring rummaged in her pocket for ehr key and finally gave up, knocking hard on the door, they waited for a few seconds before it opened and a girl with long black hair and the same face as Spring appeared, she was taller and obviously older "hi Skye!!" Spring piped quickly her voice full of sing song, she led Laurell in and smiled as the fmaily appeared from various rooms.

Laurell followed spring through the forest her feet light and careful on the ground as Spring skipped on ahead, laurell peered above her trying to spot the moon but the trees were to thick in this part of the forest, she stopped and looked at Spring as the girl knocked on a beautifully carved front door.Laurell watche din wonder as a girl older then spring but so like her in looks opened the door and ushered them both inside. the home was warm and comforting and Laurell smiled as Spring took her hand. 'so this is your home sweety?' she asked softly looking at all the girls as they surrounded them both

"yaha" Spring said happily as she looked round at her family "Laurell this is Skye" She pointed to each in turn as she said their names "Sage, Sparrow, Shadow, Mama and Papa" her parents introduced themselves as Anastasia and Jonathon, Spring giggled and led Laurell to her bed room which was off to a side room, inside lay two coffins, one white with beautiful carvings all over it and her name carved into the lid, and a bigger one, this one was black and shiny, the lid was off, inside was a deep purple satin lining, the lid had carvings on it, deep etches into the beautiful black wood "mama had one prepared for you" she said pointing to the black coffin then to the bed that Spring sometimes slept on, there was a beautifully made dark blue dress with lilac trimmings and silver stars and moons on it, the moons were stitched with delicate silver thread as were the stars, Spring bounced over to it and picked it up "for you" she said "mama made it specially for sleeping" she smiled sweetly and wandered into a room, which was the walk in wardrobe her father had built her, there was a row of clothes for Laurell in there and Spring was happy to see them, running her fingers over the velvet, silk and satin dresses, she continued into the wardrobe which went down a few stairs and came to her nightwear are, here was a house dress that she wore alot, it was the palest of blues and had little puff sleeves and a hooped skirt, she wandered out of the wardrobe and smiled at Laurell "There are more clothes in there for you, you can look if you wish, Mama is working on your shoes as well" she smiled her young, innocent smile and went to the looking glass, she ahd a reflection, the table beneath the looking glass held a bristle brush and carefully Spring picked it up, it was silver and slowly she ran the brush through her curls a number of times on each section before tieing a pale blue ribbon into her golden locks and slipping on her soft house shoes, she waited to see what Laurell had decided to do, Spring climbed onto her bed and sat down on the soft silken sheets, she held in her arms a small bear, with a black ribbon round its neck.

La\urell felt a little overwhelmed as Springs family introduced themselves and she could do nothing but smile at them all sweetly, she let Spring lead her by the hand into a side room where two of the most beautifully made coffins lay side by side. Laurell ran her fingers over the soft deep purple satin and smiled at Spring 'this is beautiful' she sighed before turning to see the dress Spring held up proudly. Laurells eyes widened at the sight never had she seen such an exquistely made dress and she shook her head. 'Thats for sleeping in?' she asked in wonder as she felt the soft material in her fingers, the delicate stitches of embroidary, laurell couldnt belive her eyes. She turned to speak to srping but the girl had disappeared through a door, laurell followed slowly and stared in wonder at the racks of dresses all beautifully made and of the most fantastic colors. She grinned as Spring told her some were hers and spun round feeling a little like a child in a toy shop. 'Spring your home is beautiful' she whispered softly

Spring giggled and wandered back into the wardrobe and looked up at her "papa made our home, mama made the sheets and the clothes and most of the stuff" she smiled "papa carved your coffin, it has a protection charm over it, like mine" she smiled wider, and then she giggled and looked at the rack of clothes for Laurell, she took down a silk black dress, it was finely made with long flowing georgette sleeves, lace edged the collar and the cuffs hung down low, she looked at Laurell "Put this one on?" she asked ehr, she had helped ehr mother make that particular dress and fiddled with the red satin ribbons that tied down the back of the corseted top, Spring smiled and spun in ehr house dress, the hooped skirt lifting to reveal a small pair of bloomers and a underskirt of netting, she giggled and wandered intot he wardrobe again

Lautrell laughed at the sweet excited way Spring was acting she marveled at the girls parents talents, 'well maybe your mam and pap could teach me these skills, specially wood work with charms' she smiled spitefully thinking how good it would be to be able to make her own torture insturments for the basement. She took the dress Spring offered her and changed out of her burnt dress into the perfectly fitting gown, the girls mother was an exquisite seemstress the dress fitted her like a glove and Laurell laughed gayly as spring did the small ribbons on the back up. 'Well princess how do i look?' she asked her.

"like a queen" Spring giggled clapping her hands happily, her mother shouted for them to come to dinner "mama has prepared blood for us but you do not need to eat it if you are not hungry" she smiled taking hold of her hand "you can ask mama and papa to teach you I'm sure they will" she giggled and led Laurell out of the wardrobe and room, she helped ehr slide on some soft shoes then led her to the dinner table, everyone else was seated and Spring led Laurell to her seat next to Skye and ehrself, she smiled at her sisters and listened as her mama said to dig in, she started sipping the blood in her bowl off a spoon like soup and smiled at Laurell.

"of course" he replied finishing his own meal off
"Have you eaten your fill or wish for more Laurell?" Springs mama asked her, smiling gently as Spring finished her bowl off.
Skye looked at her younger sister and whispered "is she hybrid of vamp like mama?"
"Vamp" Spring whispered back, a smile carressing ehr lips
"you look pretty Laurell" Sparrow said yawning as she finished off her meat
"yes you do" Sage piped in,
The baby gurgled happily in ehr hair chair and made a mess as she tried to feed herself while her mama went to get a pitcher of milk for the younger hybrids.

Laurell nodded at Springs pap before thanking her mother for the wonderful food. 'thank you very much' she whispered, 'i am quite full Spring may not have told you but i do not have a very big appitite' she smiled sweetly at the girl and ruffled her hair lovingly. She shook her head softly and in fun as the girls bombarded Spring with questions, laurell held both hands up. 'I can tell you all about me if you wish' she spoke softly

The two youngsters and older girl all nodded, a small squeal escaping form Sage's throat as they lent forward to hear about Laurell "how old are you?" one asked "Do you get bored with just drinking blood?" another fired, Skye sat silently studying Laurell.
Spring got down form the table and followed her papa out fo the room to his workshop to finish the birdhouse she was making with him.

laurell laughed softly before clearing her throat.'all your questions will be answered' she spoke softly and calmly sipping on some water before begining to speak again. 'I was born many centuries ago in London, I didnt come from a very rich family but we got along. Then when i was 15 i was told some very disturbing news by a stranger. I didnt like the news and reacted badly to it. and in the end i was turned by a very handsome vampire' she sat back in her chair and looked at the girls 'I was 18 when i was turned'

Skye smiled, listening intently to the story "so how old are you exactly?" she asked silencing her squabbling siblings, the baby started crying and Anastasia took her out of the room to put her to bed.
