A League of Night

A Leaf Turned.

May gulped as she peered into the room. Kellyn and Keith were resting on a couch while Purple and Dawn were talking off to the side. Was this the group she was with? She gulped softly before she walked in and over to the conversation. Dawn noticed her and smiled.

"Good morning, May. Are you here for a reason or-?" May held up a paper, which changed Dawn's train of thought. Concern washed over the bluette's face as she touched the brunette's head. "Why..."

"Don't... Just..." The door opened as the trio turned to see Paul. He noticed the little exchange and paused. A calm smile crossed his face as he went over to them.

"Dawn, Purple, go get everyone up. We'll have a brief meeting, ok?" The duo nodded slowly as they went to grab the others. Paul took the paper from May as she shuddered. "You good?" She nodded.

"Yeah... I just had a hard time getting here. People worrying, bad weather, almost got lost..." He smiled before helping her sit down as the two boys on the couch started waking up.

"We all get that sometimes. You'll be surprised when you see the full group." She nodded as Kellyn rubbed his eyes. The duo came out of a door as a loud complaint filled the air. The group chuckled as Cessil and Bonnie came in. Qidorr and two others slipped in as someone called out.

"Someone needs to keep Purple away from the bucket!" Purple hissed.

"And someone needs to keep you away from your cards!" Paul chuckled lightly as a brunette came in.

"Knock it off, you two. Sit down. We'll worry about who did what later." He sighed as they settled down. "Now I know some of you have questions." Dawn mumbled something under her breath. "And I'll explain. May's a Turner, yes. But after I talked to her a couple weeks ago, sides weren't a thing."

"Why? Did something happen?" Dawn glanced at May, who had lowered her head. Paul grimaced.

"May'll be joining us so that she can recover from a condition that hit. I'll give you guys the details later. Don't be afraid because she's on the other side. Things might change. Just treat her like a teammate." Purple smiled as she placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Copy that, boss. I'll have no problem with that." The others nodded with a similar smile across their face. Cessil stood up and held out a hand.

"Come on, May. I'll show you to your room for the time being."

She smiled as she took the hand and he led her into the door and to a door with a small sign that had her name on it. Inside was a simple bedroom with several counters and shelves. Seats were near the counters and there was a small covered window next to the door. There was a small area with a door, mostly with a small bathroom area and small kitchen. It had everything that could be needed for recovery. She smiled as she turned to him.

"Thank you." He nodded softly.

"When you're ready, we'll be out in the sitting room."

She nodded and he left. She placed down the small bag that she had brought with her. She hadn't brought a lot, but she made sure to grab a couple changes of clothes just in case. She sighed as she put her stuff away and went to where the others were. It could've been a moment of just blinking and they were colliding. She was in her room for maybe a minute and poor Kellyn was red in the face as he and Keith tried to counter Dawn and Paul. Two cute ships going against each other? Could've been worse. She went over to where the trio she didn't know and Bonnie were watching.

"I leave to settle down and this happens?" Bonnie scoffed.

"Wait until I push them together." And with those words she went over to the miniwar. May sighed as the brunette from before sighed.
