*** Winter ***
I was lost in the world of my mind as I drew, I don't really know how it happened but I never really knew what I was drawing until it was done. I was snapped out of my revere with a knock on my door, "'tis open."
I looked up just as Ms. Raddik popped her head in, "Winter, the family is here to see you, want me to send them in?"
I smiled lightly, I loved this woman, ever since I came here a few years ago she's taken me under her wing, teaching me everything I need to know to survive here in Illinois, "sure Ms. R, send 'em up and make sure they know about me."
She nodded once and closed the door after her, a few moments later there was another knock at my door, "it's open!"
A couple came in then, a tall man with dark brown curly hair and kind blue eyes. When he smiles his eyes crinkled, he was with a small woman, his wife presumably. She was on the shorter side, she had long black hair that was curled and pinned back and beautiful green eyes, like newly grown grass in the summer. "Oh you must be Winter! It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Jessica, this is my husband Lyle."
She stuck her hand out and I took it and smiles politely, "Yes I'm Winter, it's so nice to meet you," I shook Lyle's hand, holding back a wince at his strong grip, "So... I'm gonna be staying with you until I graduate?"
"Oh you stay with us as long as you need, our son needs the socialization, poor boy, all his friends up and left him. No one talks to him since he changed his 'look'," she rolled her eyes, "I swear teens get more and more fickle with each generation."
Me and Lyle laughed at that then his rumble of a voice spoke up for the first time, "Don't worry dear, I'm sure Winter is a sweet girl and will get along just fine with Roman."
He winked at me and I blushed, "So when are we leaving?"
"As soon as your ready hun, pack your things we'll be downstairs." They smiled cheekily and walked out, as they were leaving I heard Jessica mumble, "if our boy isn't all over her I'm thinking about getting him a boyfriend! She's a beautiful girl, and so polite!"
I blushed more and turned up my music just as Hollywood undead started, I rapped along with Johnny and finished packing my stuff.

I walked into the house, it was quaint, on the smaller side but big enough for us. I felt a small hand on my back and turns to see Jessica, "Me and Lyle have to go out, Roman will show you to your room. Roman!! Get down here, Winter's here!"
She smiled sweetly as thundering footsteps sounded down the stairs, "Alright! I'm coming!" Just then a boy, Roman, turns the corner of the staircase and he's... Drop. Dead. Gorgeous. He's got these stunning purple eyes, jet black hair, he was tall, like his father, and had this stunning bone structure... He was wearing loose fitting faded jeans that were worn to perfection and hung low on his hips and a bring me the horizon shirt the just barely revealed a tattoo on his upper right arm. "Take a picture sweety, it'll last longer."
"Roman! Winter is our guest. Now, show her to her room and please, try to be decent." Jessica left in a huff.
Lyle came over and patted me on the shoulder softly and whispered "He's not at bad as he seems, he's a good kid just give him time." He straightened and looked at Roman, "Listen to your mother. We won't be back until late, there's a pizza in the freezer. Bye kids!" With that the door closed behind him and I was left alone with Roman.
"C'mon, our rooms are downstairs." He came downstairs and made his way to the basement door.
I grabbed my stuff and started walking. "Thanks for the help by the way, it's not like my bags are heavy or anything." I rolled my eyes and made my way to the basement. just as I was stepping onto the first step my head started swimming... oh no... not now, not here! Roman noticed I stopped and asked me what the hold up was, but I was too far gone, I put my hand on the wall as my vision darkened and I was consumed by blackness.
In the vision I was in the middle of the forest, it looks familiar though I know I've never been before. I heard a twig snap behind me and turned quickly, "Hello?" No response. "Anyone there?" Another snap, bushes rustling. I looked around, the mood was full. Oh no... I started running just as I heard the howls and snarls start up, they've found me. I ran slower than I knew I was able to, I tripped and then one of them pounced on me, it's jowels dripping saliva and blood from its last meal, then it threw it's head back and laughed and was joined by it's friends. The laughter was high and hysterical. it looked down at me and I could see the hunger burning in it's bright yellow eyes, a scream ripped it's way through my throat just as it was thrown off me and smashed against a tree, falling to the ground with a defeated yelp. I curled up and felt the ground shift beneath me, I opened my eyes to find everything falling away, only to be replaced by black nothingness. I started running, then the chorus of wails started, flashes of bright red blinded me then I was falling.
I was shoved back into my body, still blind, I felt a hand on my arm, "Winter? What the fuck? Are you alright?"
My vision came back slowly and I shook my head to clear it, I looked down and Roman was staring up at me questioningly. "Hm? Yeah I'm fine just... spaced out. Sorry."
"Really? You screamed." He raised an eyebrow.
"I'm fine. Just drop it ok?" I shoved past him and walked down the stairs. "Which room is mine?"
"That one." He pointed to the left. "The door next to it is the bathroom."
"Thanks." I took my stuff into my room and looked around and mumbles to myself, "home sweet home." I heard a door shut and lock and I peered out to see Roman nowhere to be found, then I saw the door on the other side of the hall. Ah, ok. Time to unpack. I closed my door, turned up my music and got to doing.
*** Roman ***
Damn. That girl is... wow. She's hot. She's sarcastic. She's smart. Damn. Only downside? She's crazy. That's the answer. Obviously my parents accepted something from wherever the hell she came from to get her 'rehabilitated' whatever. I heard music coming from the hall, I opened my door a crack and found out it's 'If you can't hang' by Sleeping with Sirens. One of my favorite songs. Perfect, the schitzo had great taste in music. I locked my door and laid on my bed. Summer just started so this should be fun. My teeth still ached from earlier, when I went to see if she was ok I caught her scent... my lord it was delicious. My mouth is watering and my dick is hardening just thinking about it. I groaned androlled on my stomach, what is she doing to me?
