Sumiko thought to herself thats his power? its not that bad, it could really help in any situation' she looked at Mike and said "Your power is awesome, you can hide from anyone you want" she looked down and then was talking to herself "That would really help getting a book, then Chi couldn't see you". She smiled and looked out the window, it was a beautiful day the only down side to it was that she couldn't go outside to enjoy it. She looked over to Mike and smiled at him "We could go right now, I need you help with finding one" she paused then said "Do you have any suggestions?", she looked at Mike to see if he had any ideas. She looked out the window again and sighed; she was getting a little board so she took some light and started to move it around on the ground making shape out of it. She looked over to Mike again and waited for an answer; she stopped moving the light and closed her eyes to try and imagine what the library would look like.

Gavin woke up and looked around the room; he saw multiple candles, a desk, a wardrobe and the bed he was lying in. He sat up in the bed and rubbed his head he had a bit of headache, he couldn't remember much let alone his name. He turned so that his feet were on the floor and he got up, he walked over to the desk and saw that there was a book on the desk with the name Gavin on it, he figured that it was his name and picked it up. He opened it and all of the pages were black so he put it back down on the desk, he walked over to the wardrobe and opened it he saw that the clothes in there would fit him so he put some on. He was walking over to the door when he passed a candle and it started to burn, he stopped and looked at it he was surprised to see that it was burning and that it lit when he pasted it. He put it out and walked out of his room, he looked down the hallway and saw that there were a lot of doors that were closed. He walked to the end of the hallway and went down the stairs, he didn't really see anyone but he heard voices so he followed them into the kitchen. He looked around and saw a few other dolls, he stepped into the kitchen more and said "Good Morning or is it the afternoon?" he waited for someone to answer and then he saw the cinnamon rolls he walked over and grabbed one and started to eat it.

Raven listened to Kris and Ekin speak to one another. They were laughing about the time they got glue on the cat. It was a very funny time. Raven remembered simply shaking her head while watching the cat. It was a bit mean, but the damn thing would not sit still allow then to wash it off before it dried.

She was about to speak up, when the new face entered the room. Raven paused for a moment while memories of his past entered her mind. He used to be a baker. Or at least worked as one. She enjoyed simple jobs like that. And maybe he could cook a few meals. That would be great. She also knew his name as well. Since that was the more recent thing.

"Good Morning." Raven said, being the first to speak as he walked into the room. "Welcome to your home. My name is Raven." She said, moving out from behind the counter to give him a short bow. She then moved around him towards the hallway. "Everyone. Come to the kitchen to meet Gavin!" She called threw the house. She would give Chi a bit of extra time before she went up and dragged him down. He never wanted to at least say hello to the new dolls. Although with the arrival of a new doll, the witch would more than likely show up.

"Help yourself to as much food as you like. You must be hungry."


Liam turned as he noticed Raven looking in a certain direction. He then saw the new doll of the house. Surprising the doll was not nervous. Liam could remember when he first came. He refused to leave his room for the better part of the day. Unsure of what was going on. He stood up after Raven went into the hallway.

"Hello, My name is Liam. I have been here for three years."

Gavin looked at Raven and bowed in return "Nice to meet you Raven", he watched as she called everyone else into the kitchen. He wondered how many others there, and why this place was his new home everything was a bit confusing at the moment and his headache wasn't help things he took another bite of the cinnamon roll. The a doll named Liam introduced himself, "My names Gavin but Raven already said it and I guess I have been here for about a day". He took another bite and then said "So, how did she know my name and do you guys have any special abilities?" , he looked a Liam as if he would have the answer being here for three years and all. He finnished off the cinnamon roll in his hand and took another one and started to eat it while he waited for an answer.

Sumiko turned around when Raven called them into the kitchen to meet Gavin, she stood up and turned to Mike "Sounds like the new doll is here" she helped him up and jumped down from the seat and waited for Mike to catch up. When Mike caught up she started to walk towards the kitchen. When she got into the kitchen she stood by the door and waited for Mike, out of all the dolls there she felt that she could trust him the most. She turned to Gavin and said "Hello, my name is Sumiko" she bowed and then nudged Mike so that he could introduce himself. She move over to the side of the door and leaned against the wall so that the others could get in more easily.

Mike jumped down from the seat and followed Sumiko into the kitchen, he stood beside Sumiko and waited for her to introduce herself. When Sumiko nudged him he introduced himself "Hello, my name is Mike nice to meet you Gavin" he bowed and then stood next to Sumiko to wait for the others to come and introduce themselves before he left. He turned to Sumiko and whispered "Do you think he is going to tip the scale?" he paused "Hey, when Chi comes down we could go up and get a book for you" he nudged her so that they were even then he smile. He turned back to Gavin and waited for the others to show up, he walked over and grabbed another cinnamon roll for him and Sumiko, then returned and handed it to her.

Phoenix stood as her arms feel to her side her eyes changing to a slight silver color as her hair extend out from her body slightly. "Don't you dare think of using your power to get one of those books MIKE and don't encourage him in his ways Sumiko! How dare you use tricks and mask to get what either one of you want. Sumiko I expect more from you of all the ones here. You ask for what you want you do not use tricks,lies, or cheat to get anything here. We are a family rather some of us like it or not. There will be none of this in this house. Even Raven dose not go by such means. Be a shamed you two be a shamed." She said as her eyes stared at one of the rolls before she leaped from the counter doing a simple front flip and landing on her feet as she walked passed the new doll. "Raven knows everything about you as I know your thoughts. We are each special in this house. A pleasure to meet you do not lessen to the others other than Liam and Raven about Chi he has a good heart just doesn't know how to show it. And I can tell you he is pleased to have you here as the others. And no the note on the desk was not written by any of us. That was the witch dear one. Now excuse me I will go get the other member of our family one way or another. He acts like most of the guys around here like a child." She said as she gave a bow then turned vanishing up the stairs.

The roll that Raven had left out for Phoenix rose in the air and floated from its plate threw the air as it took the same path that the strange doll had taken hovering over Gavin for a moment before vanishing up the stairs not far from the one that controlled it as it moved threw the air. Phoenix knocked on the door then stared at it as the door open allowing her in along with the roll that she had brought to feed Chi with. She let the door return to being shut as she walked to the table where his book was and placed the roll there she closed her eyes as her hair returned to draping her slim figure.

"You should meet Gavin. He is down stairs the books will be here the others are expecting you to go and greet him." She said in her mind as it echoed threw any mind that was in the room with her loud and clear as she took a set on the over sized chair her back against the back of it as she looked like some one had placed her there.

Chi smiled as he heard the girl. "Homer as of now I have some Poke and Shakespeare that I was reading." His eyes shifted to the door as he heard it open. He saw no one open it. He then shook his head as he watched the strange doll enter with a roll not far behind her. He couldn't help but smile as he watched the roll land on the table and she float to the chair to take her place looking as if some child had placed her there with care. He stared at her as he heard her thoughts in his own head loud as if she spoke them. He hated that about her and loved it. He stared at her as she finished for a moment before speaking. "Why can't you just be normal I thought you and I and Raven had this talk about you and your mind talking. It is bad enough you can read our thoughts don't enter them with your own and talk to us. If we want to talk we will. So the new doll is here and it's another guy."

Gavin bowed to both Sumiko and Mike,he smiled and thought to himself 'This place could be fun'. When Phoenix started to yell at Mike and Sumiko about Mike's power he just stood there in shock, he thought to himself 'Maybe I thought to soon, looks like a normal family here but with powers'. Gavin looked at the girl who was talking to him and thanked her before she left, he watched the cinnamon roll float behind her he thought to himself 'Wow better remember not to cross her, and what was her name?' he then spoke out loud with a questioning voice "What was her name?". He took another bite of the cinnamon roll that was in his hand and smiled at least he knew now that everyone here was special, he finnished off the cinnamon bun and said "Who ever made these, they are really good". Gavin jumped up onto the counter and washed his hands of crumbs then jumped down again, and then said "So, Raven knows all about me and that girl can read my thoughts, what other powers are in this house?" he smiled and waited for an answer.

Sumiko lisened to Phoenix and she was yelling at her saying that she expected more she dropped the cinnamon roll that Mike had given her and she watched as Phoenix left the room. She then turned to Mike and said "I'll go talk to her, you stay here", just before she left she answered Gavin's question "I can control light", she didn't want to get on anyone else nervous today so she decided to let them answer if they even wanted to answer. She turned and walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs, she paused at the library door then hesitated about going in, Chi was still in there and she was still afraid of him and maybe she should wait a little and let Phoenix cool down before she went and talked to her. She walked to her room and went in leaving the door open so that she could hear if anyone left the library, she thought to herself 'She is out of her mind, I was never encouraging him to use his powers that way, and we were just going to wait until Chi left so that we could go in'. She laid down on her bed today really wasn't her day, she looked up at the roof and then sat up to look out the window to see if it could calm her down.

Ekin stood up and offered a small curtsy to Gavin, "it's very nice to meet you, my name is Ekin. I control sound... sort of. I'm a year seven here in the house." When she came up from her curtsy she was smiling wide. Excitement had entered her through every pore in her body. she put a hand to the side of her mouth, "and I don't think that Daichi is such a bad egg, I just base most of my thinking, which is awfully ignorant of me, off of first impressions. And when I first met him, he and Raven were having what seemed to be a very big argument. I was a bit afraid, but Kris here helped me realize that it was just a regular thing that went on in the house, so I quickly got used to it." she motioned to Kris to introduce himself.

Kris jumped up as soon as Ekin did, and when she gestured toward him, he immediately began to bow, and then speak in his strange fashion. "Greetings, Sir Gavin, I am called Kristofferson, but the nickname that everyone seems to have taken to calling me is Kris. I can communicate with the various spirits around this very lively house, none of which that I have met seem to be malevolent of course, to your relief, I'm sure. I am two years older than Lady Ekin, making me a year nine."

Gavin looked over to the table and smiled "Nice to meet you Ekin and Kris" he bowed and then said "I am guessing here but I think that my power is fire". He shrugged and then looked towards the door where everyone was leaving and asked "So, is every day like this or is today one of the bad days here?". He walked over to the table and sat down in one of the chairs, he was getting a little tired of standing and then said "So, can I help with anything?". He smiled and then said "Sorry, about all the questions", he looked at each doll and then said "So, what else does this house have I only walked from my room to here".

Mike watched as Sumiko walked out of the room and up the stairs and then turned back to Gavin and said "I don't really like to talk about my power". He turned and walked to a seat that was near the table but was in the shade and sat down, he lisened to Gavin and said "Fire, that would be a good power" he paused "Well, today seems to be one of our bad days but you can never really tell around here, so don't worry". Mike sat back in the chair and decided to let the others answer the rest of the questions because he didn't feel like talking anymore. Instead he got lost in his own thoughts about the girl in the picture and if Sumiko was alright talking to Phoenix. Phoenix did seem to be pretty mad about his power but he would never use it that was he knew that every thing was there when needed, but the fear of Chi was a little tempting to use but he would never.

Sophie rolled out of bed, she didn't really want to go down stairs, nor did she want to meet the new doll. She really hated this time of year because everyone would be really happy and excited and she always had to act. It was bad enough that she had to think happy positive thougths when ever Phoenix was around, today all she wanted to do was avoid everyone but she knew that it was never going to happen. She went to her wardrobe and put on her usual clothes and then began to walk down the hallway, she was hungery and she knew that Raven had already made something to eat like she did evey morning, so the first place she wanted to go was the kitchen. She saw that one of the bed room doors were open, she stopped just outside of it an looked in and saw Sumiko looking out of the window. It was strange to see Sumiko looking like she did because she normally looked all happy, she would normally be the worst one to act around because she was always truly happy. But today she looked as if something was wrong and it was really bugging her, so she walked past and let the thought of Sumiko being upset sink into her mind as she past the library door. She walked down the stairs and looked into the kitchen to see if Phoenix was there she wasn't but the new doll was, she kept her thoughts the way they were and walked quietly over to the counter, jumped up and then took a cinnamon roll. Out of all the things that Raven could make these were her favorite, she walked jumped down and then walked over to the table. She thought to herself 'I guess that it is now or later to meet him so I should just get it over with'. She took a seat beside the new doll and said "Hello, my name is Sophie nice to meet you umm..." she paused "Sorry I missed your name what was it?" she put a big smile on her face so that no one else would know how much she hated it here.

Miu nodded, and sat down as she listened to Chi. She was going to comment, but then she saw a roll float into the room, followed by phoenix. She set her book down and nodded, not surprised at Phoenix's inaudible communications. She smirked at Chi's complaints, and spoke up then. "Well, then I suppose we go meet him. Who knows how long we'll have to live with him." she said, and added as she stood up, "And thank you again for informing Phoenix. After i meet him then i can finish my drawing and start making one of him." she said a bit more cheerfully. She then walked out of the room and down the stairs without waiting for the others in the room. Miu felt a few mixed feelings as she walked out of the library. Some of excitement for meeting the new arrival she had been waiting all day for, some of relief that she'd be able to finish her drawing, and yet, a bit of sadness. It was a boy, not her sister.

Miu soon reached the kitchen and smiled seeing everyone there. "Hm, looks like Sophie's up early today." she thought with a twitch of a smile. She quickly spotted the new doll and smiled. "Hello Gavin, I'm Miu, year 5 here." she said, and took off her hat and bowed in one elegant flourish of movement. "I hope you enjoy it here, at the house." she added, straighting up.

Gavin looked at the doll named Sophie and said "My name is Gavin nice to meet you", he heard another doll talking. He turned and looked at the doll as she introduced herself then said "Thanks, nice to meet you as well Miu", he turned back to Mike saying "Well, I am only guessing fire because a candle lit when I walked past it". He smiled a little while he thought to himself 'maybe this place wont be so bad, they all seem friendly' he looked over at Raven and asked "So how many dolls are here?", he jumped down from the chair and stretched. He looked around the room at all the other dolls to see if any of the other dolls would answer him.

Sumiko heard someone pass her room but she figured that it was just another doll waking up so she didn't bother to turn around. She heard the library door open and someone walking out, she looked out her window one last time and then started to make her way to her door. She left her room closing her door behind her and then walked to the library door and paused, she opened the door and then walked in. She looked at the chair Phoenix was sitting in and walked over, she looked up and her and said "Can we talk?" she hoped that she would because Sumiko didn't really like to be on anyones bad side especially in this house.

"Including you, there are twelve of us now." Raven answered as she came back into the room. A steady pain started to concentrate in the center of her head. Evolving into a very steady pounding. Suddenly Raven blacked out as her eyes turned a very bright red. They even seemed to have a dull creepy doll-like glow to them. Anyone seeing them for the first or second time could be very creeped out.

"Good morning my darlings." Raven said. Her voice was not her own. It was slightly higher now. Although not by much. "Meet me in the sitting room everyone." A voice went out threw the entire house. Much like a hunted ghost. It echoed threw the halls, even though the witch did not speak very loud. She turned and walked into the sitting room. Taking the same seat Raven had taken earlier that day. She sat, legs crossed as she waited for everyone to fill the room.

"Everyone has taken the time to meet my newest addition, Gavin." She said to everyone.


Liam took a seat on the ground. Leaning again the wall. The witch, whenever she came, scared him. Those eyes every time he looked into them.. no he just could not. They felt as if she was staring into his soul.

Gavin looked at Raven as she answered his question then saw that her eyes had turned bright read, he steped back a little hit the chair leg. He waited for a little and the walked into the sitting room but he sat the farthest away from Raven, he looked at her and then to the other dolls who had entered the room and sat quietly waiting for something to happen. He tried to avoid Raven's eyes but they were so different and he was confused about how they had changed colour and why she was talking different, that he sat and looked at her for a while.

Sumiko heard the witches voice comming through the house, she turned towards the door and said "I'm sorry for what ever I may have thought, and that I fell short of your expectations". She left the library and closed the door behind her and walked down the stairs into the living room. She jumped up to the window seat and sat on the ledge of it so that she could hear Raven but yet still be in the sun. She was still thinking about how Phoenix was upset with her and then she looked at Raven and tried to stay focusedon what she was saying.

Mike had Ravens eyes change colour a few times already but it still creeped him out when ever it did happened. He walked into the sitting room, he saw Sumiko sitting on the ledge of the window seat and decided to go sit with her. He walked over to the seat and jumped up and sat beside her, he looked at her and saw that she was trying to focuse but something else was on her mind. He nudged her and said "If you are trying to look focused then you are not succeeding" he chuckled a little and then said "So what are you thinking about, that causes you to seem unhappy?". He looked at Raven and thought to himself 'this has to be the first time that I have ever seen her like this, I hope that it's not what Phoeinx said' he looked back to Sumiko to wait for an answer.

Sophie looked at Raven thought to herself 'great a visit how kind of her', she followed Raven into the sitting room and sat down on the couch. She pulled her knees up to her chest rested her head on them and wraped her arms around them, she knew that Phoenix would soon be down so she started to think happy thought well the best that she could. She looked around the room and saw Gavin sitting as far way as possible, Mike and Sumiko sitting up on the window seat ledge and Liam sitting on the floor like he normally did when ever the witch decided to visit. She still did not see Miu, Phoenix and Chi, she knew that Miu was in he kitchen and Chi was probably in the library like always but she had no idea whe Phoenix could be normaly would be in the kitchen with the other. As she sat on the couch and waited for something to happen she thought to herself 'what could have happened this morning to cause Sumiko to be upset and Phoeinx to not be in the kitchen'.

Phoenix rose as her eyes glowed a blue color. Every lock in the house turned and locked its self as well as the windows. The blinds quickly fell down as Phoenix appeared in the living room as she moved against her will and took her spot on the table her eyes still glowing as Chi appeared shortly after her taking his place on the other side of the fire place. The glow faded as she regained control of herself as she hung her head knowing the witch had heard the thoughts of the others and had been the reason for her using her bowers to lock the house.

Chi took a bit of the roll and was enjoying it when he heard the witches voice and looked to where Phoenix was. He quickly let the roll fall as he steeped back hearing all the locks in the house lock and hearing the windows do the same. He stared at her as he saw the glow come from her eyes and followed. "Yep the witch is up." He said aloud as he took his place on the fire place. He couldn't wait to here what she had to say about their new member. He wondered why she needed so many he was happy with just him and Raven.

Sumiko looked at Mike and said "What do you mean by not succeeding?" she paused then said "Ok your right something is on my mind but it doesn't matter anymore". She heard the window lock behind her and turned around to look at it then turned back to see Phoenix appear in the room and sit down on the table. She looked down at the ground and said "We better focus about what is going on right now anyway", she looked over to Mike and tried to smile but knew that it was not a very convincing smile at all. She then looked at Raven to see what the witch had to say today.

Mike looked at Sumiko and knew that she was lying but he didn't want to to say anything, instead he said "Fine then I will ask you later. He also heard the window lock behind himand saw that Sumiko turned to look, he shook his head this was common when ever the witch was here so he knew it was going to happen. When he saw Sumiko look to the ground he looked up and saw that Phoenix had entered and thought to himself 'Why would it bother Sumiko so much it was just a comment, but then again the comment was a little harsh'. He looked up to Raven to wait for what she had to say today.

Kellen had been in the basement. In the dark. He far preferred it that way. The sun did in fact hurt him after all. Although it did not physical hard, more mental harm if any even that. He had been down there for hours. Most of the time not returning to his room until night time had risen. He knew of each doll in the house. But did not care for any of them. His eyes were entranced in a book. Although the room he was in was completely dark. Making anyone wonder if he could see anything at all. Kellen had stayed down there threw the night. Since just a few nights ago he and Raven had a little... quarrel. Which ended not so nicely for her at least. She of coarse played it off as nothing. No one in the house knew of our little battles. Except Phoenix, and her damn mind reading. But even she did not say a word most of the time. At the request of Raven.

Kellen heard the call for everyone to report upstairs. Making him groan a bit. But Even Kellen did as he was told. He went upstairs, bot entering the room, but leaned against the wall just outside, opposite of Liam. It was bright for him, but he could stand it rather than being in the bright room. The witch would know he was there.

Everyone was finally in or around the room. She had stayed completely silent until everyone arrived. (Pulling everyone here lol). She crossed her legs, and rested a hand on each arm of the chair. The witch drew in a deep breath as she waited for all side conversations to stop. Closing her very red eyes for a simple second as she gathered her words. "I must tell you all something." She paused again before continuing.

"I am not going to be apart of this world for much longer. As you have probably scene in Raven, I am sick." She said to everyone. In truth the witch was a very old women. Past her hundred years easily. She seemed very sincere in her words. Although suddenly her eyes changed. To more fierce, more crazy and insane. It was her true self. "I am not going out alone though. You are all coming with me my darlings." She then started to laugh. A crazy laugh no one in the room had ever heard. She stood up, taking her hat off, and throwing it to Chi on the fire place.

"It feels so good to walk around." The witch said threw Raven, taking a few steps forward. She was not looking at anyone in particular. "no no no.. Allow me to rephrase. I wish wish for one of you to come. Besides Raven of coarse. Since she is going no matter what. So you all much decide among yourselves. Bye bye now my pretties." The witch suddenly left Raven's body. Raven as she regained control, fell to one knee. Holding her head. Taking in all of the information that had just been said. She was in a bit of shock..

Liam felt another on the opposite side of the wall. Probably Kellen. He could not really enter the room any how. Seeing as how the sun seemed to itch away at his skin. Or at least that was how he put it. Liam watched the witch. She seemed to calm, so serene. But suddenly her entire mood changed. Something just simply seemed to snap into place. It was the witch they had read in stories. As she got up, Liam found himself standing to get out of the way. But she stopped half way. Dropping a complete bombshell on everyone. Making Liam freeze. The witch then left, leaving the room in complete silence.

Liam unusually was the first to break the silence. "She is joking right...?"

Sumiko watched and lisend while the witch was talking, when she heard that she was dying and that one of the dolls had to go with her she froze. She regained herself when Liam spoke and then she looked at Liam and Raven and jumped down from the seat and walked out of the room and up the stairs to her room. She sat on her bed so that she could think with out Phoenix lisening on her thoughts, she stood up and closed her door then walked back to her bed. She had seen that Raven was sick so that part was true but she did not understand why one other doll had to go with her, she laid down on her bed and continued her thought.

Gavin looked around that room at all the other dolls, and watched Sumiko up the stairs after Raven had said she was dying and Liam had asked if she was joking. He looked at the gound and thought to himself 'Wow I only just arrived and I find out the witch is dying and one other doll is going with her' he looked around the room at all the other dolls reactions not know if this was a bad thing or a good thing for them. He stood up and then said "So what do we do now?", he looked at the dolls that were left in the room and waited for an answer.

Mike watched at Sumiko walked out of the room, he had no idea why but he wanted to go after her. He let teh thought of the witch dying sit in his head but then he thought of Raven and another doll dying, that just didn't seem fair in his eyes. He lisened to Gavin's question and then said "Well, we talk about it" he paused "But we may all want to be together when we do". He jumped down from the seat and looked at all the other and said "I will go talk to Sumiko", he walked up the stairs and knocked on on Sumiko's door and said "Hey, it's me Mike are you alright?". He stood outside her door and waited for an answer from her.

Sophie at everyone and then said "Mike is probably right we should talk about it as a group", she tryed to use her power to lighten the mood of the room but it was hard to do. The news that the witch was dying was great but just not the part about Raven dying with her, also that another doll was going to die aswell. She stood up from the couch and then walked towards Raven and said "Are you okay?" she kneeled down next to her to wait for an answer. She knew that things would be a little though for the rest of the day and she decided to help out if she could. She looked around the room and saw that they were all still there, she used her powers agian but the news was still depressing even with her help.

Phoenix stared at the table as her anger rose. She finally jumped up as her hands balled up as her temper began to flair. She closed her eyes as her hair stood on end as the lights in the house busted at once as she let out a scream opening her eyes as they glowed brightly as if on fire. "ENOUGH! I didn't ask to be able to read all of your minds! I am not monster you act like you have to hide things around me! You are fools to think you can even when you try and hide your thought I know them all so enough hiding them I know them any way. I hate you all too! I hope you are all happy I want come out of my room again. Witch if you here me You are sick for making me this way! I want to go. Anywhere is better than being here with them." She said as she jumped from the table the frames on the wall fell as she quickly passed not stopping for anyone. She hurried up to her room and stood in the middle of it as the door slammed shut behind her the bolt locking as she stood in the dark after her lights busted from her anger. She took a set in the corner of her room on a black and blue circle pillow and wrapped her arms around her knees as she sat there trying to block out the thoughts.


Chi sat there as he was shocked by the turn of events. He didn't know what do do and felt a little lost as he sat there. He didn't know what to say. The witch had gave them the bomb shell and then their own bombshell just went off. He shook his head as he looked at the glass every where. "Great....more to clean. Raven I think you may need to go ......I don't want to live in a house with a angry phoenix if you think I am bad you haven't seen a thing yet. There are two people I fear with my life when they are angry Phoenix is on and Raven is the other. I'll get started on the pumpkin pies....I know she loves them." He said as he rose and walked to the kitchen as he thought what he wanted to say to phoneix knowing she could hear him even if she didn't want to.

Sumiko was walking to the door when she heard Phoenix yelling and then the door slamming shut, she opened her door and saw Mike she turned annd said "I'm fine just shocked, umm you should go help them clean up by the sounds of it they will need it". She turned and looked towards Phoenix's door was and said "I am majority of the problem" she looked down "I have to help". She walked down to to Phoenix's door and sat down beside it and said "Phoenix, I'm sorry" she leaned against the wall and said "Please, if you want to talk I am right here". Sumiko was truly sorry she looked at Phoenix's door and then to the wall across the hall and sat there.

Gavin was shooked by what had just happened and he could tell that this was probably the worse day that the house and come up against. He looked around the room and then walked into the kitchen and sat down at tha table, he just sat there and let his thought run through his head. After a while he stood up and then walked back into the sitting room and started to clean up all of the broken glass.

Kellen could not help but to chuckle a bit as he heard what was going on in the room. It was pure chaos. Phoenix then rushed by him. Kellen being sure to keep out of her way. Thing were broken in the room behind him. As well as every bulb in the house. Making it very dark... Perfect...

Raven went around the corner just a second later it seemed. Both of them exchanging glares. "Wonderful day." Kellen simply said to her.

Raven sat back on the floor, loosing balance as Phoenix tore the place apart. She left glass everywhere, but honestly Raven was not worried or mad at the girl. It was understandable. Everyone would have their own reaction. "Yes." Raven finally said to Sophie who went to her side. "A little shaken up I suppose." She heard Chi, and nodded. Raven herself would go to the Library for just a little while. "I and going to go think myself." Raven said to them all. Slowly standing up. She noticed Liam already starting to clean everything up. Him and Chi normally would get the place spotless very soon.

"Excuse me." Raven said to them all. Leaving the room she turned the corner, coming face to face with Kellen. Not her favorite doll, but she certainly did not hate him. Even after what he did to her. She did not say a word back to him, instead just continued upstairs and into the Library. She closed the door behind her. Raven took a seat near the large grand window and started to read the book on the table next to it.


Liam shook his head a bit as he quickly started to clean. He then heard Gavin, and looked towards him. "For now I am going to pick up the place." Liam answered. It was what he was going to do after all. What everyone else wanted to do was up to them. [/B]

Mike nodded at Sumiko and walked down the stairs, he noticed that Gavin and Liam had started to clean up so he just started to help. He looked at Liam and asked "So, what now?", he continued to clean up and waited for an answer from Liam or really anyone else who was in the room. When he entered the room he did feel that the atmospere was less stresful but then he look and Sohpie and said "We got hit with a bomshell today and I wish that your power could change that but I wouldn't waste your energy on something like this".

Sophie glared at Mike and stood up "I wish it could help to but every little effort helps", she turned and walked into the kitchen. She walked to Chi and asked "Do you need any help?" she trird to smile but then she stopped knowing that today wasn't a really happy day. She looked at the counter to see what he was working on and waited for a reply.

((Holy crud munchers, I've been gone for a while :shock: Alright, lets see what we can do here...))

Ekin just glanced down when she heard the news. Raven was one of her favorite members of their little family, she was like the mother hen. She knew that what the witch was doing was a selfish thing, all creatures are selfish, Ekin even believed she was for the most part. She attempted to block out all of the outside noises, but her mind couldn't concentrate hard enough. She reached out to the person closest to her, which happened to be Kris, and took his hand. Squeezing hard, and closing her eyes. She felt a familiar sting, a sting she couldn't place. It wasn't really a physical pain, but more of a memory of an emotional one. She knew in the depth of her soul that this decision was going to tear their family apart, like it tore the village apart when they were sentenced here, like it tore the house apart when Phoenix exploded. "I wish....." She began quietly, "I wish that I could cry." The sound of her voice seemed to echo through the rooms of the house.

Dry cracked tears spill from my heart,
they're picking and pulling my brain apart.
Staring at me through shattered glass
is a person with a haunting past.
My screams come silent, my throat is dry...
Lord, why is it so hard to cry?

By the end of the quote she was screaming, making sure that everyone in the house could hear. She didn't know where all of these foreign emotions were coming from, but they seemed to spill from her like ink from a fountain pen.

Kris was surprised when he felt a grip on his hand. Looking over, noticing it was Lady Ekin, he merely gave a sentimental glance, and squeezed her hand back. When she spoke, it didn't sound like anything he'd ever heard come from her mouth. The way she was speaking sounded like something from a novel, full of emotion and despair, while lady Ekin usually put on a mask of sheer indifference. He wanted to say something, but his mind was going crazy with the visions and words of the spirits that had heard the news. They were rushing about like a nest of frenzied wasps, though the decision did not affect them in the least. as long as the ground was beneath them, the spirits of this house would remain in this house, or the rubble that it would eventually be reduced to in a few hundred years when the Witch's magic finally wore off, and it began to age along with the world around it. He was pulled away from his thoughts, however, when Lady Ekin began to yell her poetic words throughout the house. He could still say nothing. There was nothing much that could be said.
