Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I went home and passed out! I got my kitty though! 10 month old little Siamese named Poe. He's a cutie.))

Izzie was startled into consciousness by the sound of her alarm clock buzzing in her ear. She fumbled for a moment before hitting the snooze button on top with a loud FWAP! and rolled over to sleep a few more minutes. Outside her bedroom window, she could hear the faint sound of the cows in the barn.
"Just a few more minutes..."
What sixteen year old got up at the crack of dawn and milked cows? Honestly.
Still, she wasn't going to complain, it wasn't something she minded. And afterwards was the daily walk in the thick woods that bordered the edge of her family's property.
The alarm went off again, and Izzy groaned and rolled out of bed. She rubbed her eyes a few times, then put on some dirty jeans and a sweater, along with her worn out boots and headed downstairs and out the door.

Milking was a task that required little to no brain power, and since she had been doing it most of her life, Izzy was mostly asleep during the entire thing. But once she stepped outside the barn, and blinked at the sun that was just beginning to peek over the horizon, She took a deep breath, and with a smile, headed down to the woods.

A young boy crouched in the shelter of the thick forest, black hair and clothes helping him blend into the remaining shadows, watching the red haired girl silently. Bright blue eyes glinted out from a pale face, curiosity on his expression

The red haired woman started mumbling to herself. The area was quiet enough, barely anyone was ever foolish enough to venture into the forest. The dagger made soft scratching noises into the dirt before she gave a small satisfied sigh, pulling her hands away to admire the small carving. A spell was worked into the ground, a small summoning. A few words came from her lips, mumbling again as the lines glowed faintly.

The leaves crunched beneath her feet as she walked, keeping a brisk pace, a little bit faster than normal. She wasn't sure why, but something just didn't seem right. Her instincts were telling her to turn around and go back the way she came, but at the point she was at now, it would take longer, and then she would be running late for school.

He glared at her in irritation, straightening up some, trying make himself look taller, shoulders stiff under the black button up shirt "I'm not as young as you would think."

"You look like a brat." A smirk came across her lips, watching the boy. "How long have you been watching me now?" The thing before her came to life, sprouting out wings, it's eyes glowing a faint red before it hovered and took off, nearly plowing into Izzy.

Izzy was too shocked and terrified to scream. Instead, she let out a little squeak as she fell backwards onto her behind, eyes wide.
Dreaming?
No, she didn't think so, her rear end was resting on a rather sharp stick, most dreams didn't have those. She mumbled a few incoherent words, unable to string together anything intelligible.
