I peeled open my eyes to the sight of the sun's beautiful rays slipping through the opening in the room's curtians. Sitting up, I streatched my limbs out, the stiffness easing slightly. Throwing my legs over the side of the bed, I placed my feet on the soft, carpeted floor as a yawn escaped my lips. Glancing around I realized I wasn't in some run down hotel room that someone forgot to claim stay in, I was in a beautiful room, simply decorated. That's when my heart started to race. My eyes widened as the thoughts of me being kidnapped or drugged flittered across my mind, only to be replaced with last nights events. Standing, I twisted my upperbody before making my way to the door, thats when I noticed an outfit laid out on the white dresser. Tilting my head, I stepped towards the outfit, smiling to myself at what was there for me.  A white camio was laid out with a black leather jacket, and black leggings.

   Sliding the outfit on, I made my way to the restroom that was slightly down the hall from where I was. Upon entering the bathroom, I noticed a small cosmetics bag sitting there with my name on a sticky note. Picking up the small bag, I realized what it was for. Inside was a toothbrush, toothpaste, flossing picks, and a small bottle of mouthwash. While getting ready to start the day, I couldnt help the simple thoughts that squeezed into my mind. I finally had a home, with a nice girl as my roomate, and I no longer had to run.

   A delicious smell made its way to my nose, causing my stomach to rumble painfully. Furrowing my eyebrows I decided to follow the scent, leading me to the kitchen where Lullaby was dancing around the kitchen so gracefully as she juggled between the toaster, bowls of liquid items, pans of cooking food, and the refridgerater. My eyes widened at the sight. Demons are known for being dirty, vicious creatures who could feel no remorse, they use vampires as servants and stop at nothing to have their fun, but this demon, no this one is something completely different. She smiles, she takes care of her home, her guests, and her self, she doesnt seem to have any servants, she is kind and gentle, and she has skills that she takes upon herself.

    Noticing a seat at the breakfast bar open, I take it, silently watching as lullaby continues cooking, toast popping from the toaster and foods being put onto plates after finishing cooking, it was truley a sight to see.  I giggled softly as she kissed her fingers after testing a piece of I believe it was bacon. She turned around with a look of shock and amusment masking her face, only causing my giggles to turn into laughter, starting a chain reaction which added her laughing into it.

"Well goodmorning to you too callie mcgiggles." She spoke, amusment lacing her voice, causing me to giggle more.  "I couldn't pass up such a perfect opprotunity." I watched as she placed various foods on platters, setting them on the table. "I so wish I knew how to cook." My thoughts rang out. "No one ever taught me such valuable skills..." My voice must have shown how upset the topic of family made me, because just as my eyes rose to glance around the room, Lullaby pulled me into a hug, rubbing my back soothingly as I let a few tears slip from my eyes.

    We stayed that way for a couple of minutes before she pulled away, staring at me with concern. "Hey, it's alright, you're past that now, I can always teach you how to cook." She spoke, smiling at me. "Now hurry over here so the food doesn't get cold, I like my food." Smiling, I hopped off of the bar stool to slide into a chair at the table. Both of us grabbed food from the platters, gulping it down as if neither of us have eaten before.

Once we finished, I decided I would clean up the dishes and all. "Do you happen to have a sweatshirt I could borrow and a brush?" I had spoke out, sliding the leather jacket from my shoulders, handing it to lullaby. "yeah, do you want me to do your hair again?" She had asked me, seeming excited for the day. Smiling, I nodded at her, knowing she could work magic on this rats nest. Pulling my hair out of the braid from last night, I ran my fingers through the now wavy mess as she returned. She pulled me towards the couch where I was told to sit and not move.

Walking out of the door, I smiled as a worn, Grey sweatshirt hung around my upper body and a little black bow held my bangs back. Lullaby smiled, showing me her sleek, beautiful black mustang. "How on earth do you have such a beautiful car?" The sight was so beautiful I honestly thought I would die. She giggled and unlocked the car so we could be on our way to many stores as she had told me.

For such a beautiful car for her to have, she honestly isnt such a great driver, I had to cover my eyes a couple of times to keep myself from having a heart attack. Lullaby turned to me as we were vacating from the vehicle. "mention nothing about me, and try not to attract too much attention, we are in werewolf territory." Nodding my head I followed her inside, glancing around causiously every now and then.

Many stores and many many bags later, we sat in the food court, both of our stomachs were complaining. I sat in the booth, watching our bags as she had gone to grab us somefood. Hanging my head low, I began to play with my fingers in slight boredom. Just as I had glanced up to see what was taking her so long, a small squeal escaped my lips as I realized who was in her seat across from me.

"Hello again Callie, Nice to see you back so soon."
