Goodnight, my angel,
Time to close your eyes,
And save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you've been asking me.
I think you know what I've been trying to say.
I promised I would never leave you,
And you should always know,
Wherever you may go,
No matter where you are,
I never will be far away.

A half moon hung over the forest, bathing it in a cool glow and enveloping the trees in tinted white light. The scene was deathly quiet- hardly anything moved, most likely because nothing dared to. The feared woods of the beast Fenris Fenrir; the lycan that nobody challenged. There were few left that doubted his power, and nobody left that had been there at the creature's making. Nobody, spare one rather small lycan girl.
"It's been a while." She murmured, creeping through the forest and picking her way over fallen logs and living trees. "Quite a while." The girl was dressed in muggle clothing- a light blue tank top, rather inappropriate for the cold weather, and a pair of blue jeans with numerous patches. Her skin was pale, unusually so, but she didn't seem ill. As for her eyes... well, those were the one thing about her that never changed. They were still crystal blue, the same eyes that had seen Richard become Fenris. This isn't to say that she was perfect looking- far from it. She was pretty, but still young; only looking to be around the human age of thirteen. And her face was worn, containing wrinkles and worry creases where there should still be smoothness.
She was an orphan. Her parents had died when she was but a pup, and she was left with just Alissa for company. Fenris had tried to take her under his wing once before, but she'd spitefully refused. Her grandfather, Xavier, had even fought back against the wayward lycan. Cealla had loved Xavier dearly, perhaps even more than her father. But time had tried him and he too, finally passed away. She had lost track of him many years ago, and would not be surprised if he had died. As for Alissa, they had gone their seperate ways. The lycan girl missed her twin, but didn't even know where she should begin looking for her.
There was one common thread throughout her life- abandonment. First her mother, then her father, then her grandfather, and slowly, her packmates. She had been in line to be the next leader. Alissa was the timid one, but she was the brave one, the one that showed no fear or doubt. But that was so long ago that she hardly thought of it anymore, always listening to tales of her grandmother, Sealla, with a cautious ear. Had she truly ensnared Xavier with one glance? Did she turn Xavier out of kindness, or merely passion? And did she ever truly love any of them, after madness took her?
She shook her head, trying to get such thoughts away. Stupid, passing fantasies. It was established years ago that she was on her own, simply because there was nobody left to care for her. So she'd gone into the muggle world, casting off such magical cares and trying to forget. But eventually, upon hearing of Fenris's adventures in Spain, she felt the old longing to see her son again. Perhaps, perhaps... he was different this time. Time changed many things.
The journey had been long, and it wasn't long before Cealla was utterly spent. Sinking down onto a log, she leaned against a nearby tree and rested her eyes. Eventually, perhaps in the morning, she would be able to find someone that could help her find what she had been seeking.
Goodnight, my angel,
Now it's time to sleep,
And still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me,
When we went sailing on an emerald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean,
I'm rocking you to sleep.
The water's dark and deep,
Inside this ancient heart,
You'll always be a part of me.

ooc: open to anyone, but I would prefer if the first post went to Fenris (if he so desires to reply) or to someone who knows Cealla. Thank you. <3
