Dear Santa!
I've been good this year!
And all I want for Christmas,
Is to know my True love is near.

Oh dear Santa, please don't miss my house
This Christmas I want something extra special,
It's something that can't be wrapped
Or put in a box.

Dear Santa!
I've been good this year!
And all i want for Christmas,
Is to know my True love is near.

All anyone wants for Christmas is something special, someone special. A bright light in your life to make you feel warm inside just like Christmas. Love isn't easy to find. You begin to disbelieve hope will ever find you, We don't want to be around a family full of happy people while inside your hearts are torn and almost destroyed. So what do you do? you run. Yes you run away from the happy warm go-lucky. To a cabin. A cabin in the snowy filled mountain, quiet and peace for your soul. How ever while there... you seem to meet people. One of them catches your eye and you seem to not help yourself but want to be around them.


The cabin- its a family oriented cabin, with a living room and a fire place, a small lake outside for ice skating, Rooms on the upper floor for everyone each with their own bathroom. a library and recreation room on the lower floors. The basement is held for dances and a small bar.

Name: Skylar Rose
Age: 22
Bio: Hello, I am Skylar. Life sucks for me right now. Christmas is just around the corner right? Well my boyfriend decides to leave me. Before you say, that ass let me correct that, He left me three Christmas's ago. Every since then It hasn't been the same. Now I work all the time with out breaks and keep my self busy, so i won't have to feel or meet anyone that might hurt me. Now that Christmas is coming around again I've been working even more at the small book store in the mall, so i won't have to think or feel anything. Why bother will life if nothings there for me? Love isn't and why should i care?

My parents decided enough was enough... They kicked me out of the house and told me to go on vacation and finally get over my ex. I've never been to a cabin in the mountains before, I am a bit excited. Growing up at home wasn't the best... My family always expected the best out of me... always the one to go places. How ever... i just want to be a writer, I want to write books for children. My parents didn't like that Idea and from then On i was known as the "black sheep of the family."
Personality: hy and quite describes me but, I have a bit of this and that. Of course i am a hopeless romantic, who isn't, but I am careful. Maybe to careful to actually find someone to give my heart to. but wouldn't you be? I like to sit down and read in a place where no one else will notice me. I can be just invisible to everyone. From time to time I can smile and joke around, hell i will even dance around and be hyper depending how I feel. But what you must remember at all times. I am What I am and thats just me.
Looks can kill: Five feet tall, bright blue eyes, long black hair and weighs about 120 pounds. Rather pale and seems to have a blank stare at times.

Bio: My name is Richard, I am a writer. Around when I was 21 my girlfriend left with my two kids. Now I work, eat, sleep, and be miserable. Oh, the joys of life. My family is starting to worry I suppose because when I smashed my laptop against the wall in a fit of anger...they practically tackled me down to the couch and forced me to rest.
So now, here I am! I have been ordered by my family, friends, and editor, and even my manager...to take a vacation.

In the years since I graduated college...I have never taken a vacation, I have never taken a weekend, I have never taken a break. But I suppose now that I look at myself in the mirror, I could use one.
Not the healthiest guy you see, with my skinny body and pale skin and my stress level getting high enough to boiling point that I'll break down. Thrilling.
So, vacation here I come! I took my new laptop with me. Shhh...


Personality: I am a workaholic, people always say I am hot headed, I am really not that hot headed! If you think I am then I'll come over and shove a... ok, yes...I could stand to be a bit calmer.
Bah.
Also, when I'm miserable I get sorta...mean.

Looks can kill: I have fierce eyes people say. Eyes that could cut right threw a person.
My skin is pallor and my eyes sunken in from lack of sleep.
My blond hair is always a mess and my clothing style sucks.

"I've packed my bags and I'm ready to go..." Skylar sang and hummed softly as she waited for her taxi. The Sky looked dark and grey with fluffy clouds. The snowflakes were falling lazily and slowly to the ground. Not fast enough to cause alarm for traffic, but something to keep watch on just in case. Watching as a taxi pulled up to the curb in front of the air port she picked up her small bag and walked over. A business man shoved past Skylar and jumped in the cab with a grin. "I am in a hurry.." She crossed her arms and huffed. "This is way I am getting away from men, No manners what so ever now a days." Skylar took a step back and waited for the next Taxi. Finally she was able to grab one before someone else. Placing her back in the back the driver grabbed her other bag and put it in the trunk. After giving the driver directions, Skylar stared out the window and watched all the people and buildings go buy. "So many lights.." She smiled a little thinking about the Christmas lights. Soon the lights began to disappear along with the buildings and people. They were replaced with tree's.

Arriving at the Cabin Skylar sighed a little. The snow began to get heavy and it seemed like she was the only one there so far. It was dark. Tipping the driving and paying her fare she thanked him and grabbed her bags. The only light visible was the front desk. Sky pushed the door open and entered the warm building. She wasn't really dressed for the cold. Wearing jeans and a tee-shirt with a loose coat around her, all her warm clothes were pack in her suit case. "Excuse me.." An elderly women sat behind the front desk watching TV. She turned and smiled. "Well, Hello there are you looking for a room or are you reserved?" Skylar smiled and pushed back her black hair from her pale face with a hint of blush from when the cold turned to warmth. "I have reserved. I am Skylar Rose Party of One." The elderly women checked the book and nodded. "Yes you will be staying in room 117, Its up those stairs and to the right. This is a friendly cabin their is a reading room, Living room with fireplace, there are decks to go out on, even a small game room, this cabin is basically a large house with many people. I hope you enjoy your stay." She handed over the room keys and Skylar nodded. Taking her bags so lugged them up the stairs and breathed out a sigh or relief when she found her room. "Thank God! if i had to go up another flight of stairs I'd kill myself." She mumbled and unlocked the door.

Richard cracked his knuckles as his father drove away from their home. When they had arrived at the cabbin the man's chest felt tight and pressured while his breathing was quick.
"Calm down, check yourself in, and relax."said Malt to his panicing son.
Richard simply nodded and got out, grabbing his bags he almost slipped on the snow.
"Damn it! I hate the snow!"he yelled and kicked his dads car angrily. Before the blond could rant anymore his father drove quickly away.

Walking into the cabin to get his room he glared, got his room key, and stalked off to it with an attitude. 'I was not stressed!' he thought as he climbed stair after stair and when he FINALLY got to his room he repeatedly stabbed the doorknob with the key. and growled.

Skylar heard a noise down the hall and blinked. The man was rather.. mad at the door much? She thought as she pushed her own door open. Shaking her head she placed her bags at the end of the bed and sighed softly. Pushing back her long black hair from her paled face, Skylar began to unpack. The snow flakes fell from the sky making it hard to look out side through the window. IT almost looked like a blizzard. "It wasn't snowing that hard before... was it?" She asked herself out loud.

Skylar pulled her door open again and stepped out in to the hall humming softly. Her voice bouncing around the walls, as she went down the stairs. Her eye caught the door the man went in and wondered if he would be friendly. He didn't seem too friendly..Sighing Sky shrugged it off and went in to the "living room" where a fire place crackled and hissed warming the room for quests. Sky jumped on a seat and stared at the window watching the snow flakes float down.

"Alright..."breathed Richard when he got in and sat on his bed. He breathed calmly for a moment and took out his medication and then swallowed two pills.
After that he stood up and decided to just go do something. He actually did like the snow but it aggravated him and he had a bad temper.

Downstairs he saw the fireplace, it illuminated his pallor grey face, his golden eyes, and gold hair. His glasses rested on the neck of his shabby shirt. He grew tired and sat on a nearby chair just staring into the flame.
'I should be working.' he thought, 'or since it’s almost Christmas or something I should be with my kids making jokes about my ex girlfriends fat ass.' he let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes feeling the heat on his face.

Richard did feel rather tired and sleep might be a good thing for him. Being rather tall and skinny the man could look awkward in his slightly to short pants and his overly baggy sweater.
He looked around the room, music was playing so he hummed along to it
I really can't stay -
"Baby its cold outside…"his voice was actually pretty good.
I've got to go away –
“Baby it’s cold outside…�
This evening has been –
“Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice…� when Richard noticed he was singing out loud he slapped a hand over his mouth and went crimson.
‘I am the biggest moron in the world.’

Skylar couldn't help but laugh softly as she tilted her head back looking up at the man as he turned crimson and looked shocked to have been singing out loud. "It's alright.. you have a nice voice." Skylar commented and looked back at the fire. The flames danced around making shadows on the wall create pictures.

"It is cold outside.." she perked a brow shifting her eyes back to him as she pulled her legs under her body. "There is a small record player in the corner and theres a few Christmas Records there, I am sure theres more then just that one song you can sing to, its rather relaxing.." Skylar kept talking. She had a habit of talking a lot to people she just met.It was a nervous habit. "I'm Skylar." She offered a hand to be friendly.

Richard smiled nervously and took her hand in his own long skinny one, to shake, "Name's Richard."
"I'm a writer, singing is just something to do when tired."
He closed his eyes and leaned his head back after releasing her hand.

Watching the man a moment he left go of her head and began to rest. Sighing to herself, Skylar looked back out the window. "Do you think, it will ever stop?" She wondered out loud as she got up and walked over to the window leaning against the glass.

"The snow? Hell no. But...why would you want it to stop." Richard stood up and stood behind her looking outside, towering over her.
"Iceing over the land like that...it's calm and makes you thing; Hell! Why can't I be like that?! Damn, holidays make me tired." his skinny hand touched the window and goosebumps appeared.
'In a way I'm like the snow aren't I? Not in the calm aspect or pureity...but the bitter coldness and deathining part of it.' he let out a deep sigh.

Tilting her head up and looked at him. "Well, I can't see much through the snow when its coming down like that, and i'd like to go outside...ya know.. explore around and maybe build a snow man!" Skylar exclaim. "It would be fun, yes?" She asked him and looked back out side.

"Besides, its relaxing to just let go and have fun and not have to worry about anything or think of the past..." She thought back to her past, her face slowly began drawn out and a frown appeared. Skylar's eyes looked distant and seemed like she wasn't there for a moment as if she were going to faint. Just as fast as her sadden expression appeared it dissapeared and she smiled rubbing the back of her head. "Sorry, was thinking of something.."

"Past...yah..."he scowled, "it's fine. I'm not all here either." Richard sighed, "I wounder if my parents shut off my internet, maybe if they didnt I could get some work done."he muttered looking tired.

Skylar turned and perked a brow. "Why work? Its vacation right? You should be having fun..." She heard a growl and looked down at her small stomach and placed her hands over it. "Hmm, we should go eat!." She smiled and walked towards the door. "Come on... you look like your starving."

Pushing the door open she made her way in to the small dining room. Taking a seat near the window she pulled the menu open that sat in a small holder on the table. "Hmm.." looking through the food list. "Everything looks so good."

Richard sighed deeply again, not really knowing why in the world he was listening to the girls orders. Actually, he wasn't really hungry. His medicine wasn't working well at the moment so he felt a bit sick but he figured eating could help so he followed and sat next to her.
"What's light on the menu?"he muttered picking one up and searching, "soup seems light."he decided.

Skylar nodded. "Soup.. if your meaning light, the chicken soup would be your best choice." She smiled as she talked looking down at her menu still. "hmm i like... ooh taco salad that sounds good.."

"Ahh, you woman and your taco salads."joked Richard, a waiter aprouched, "Taco salad for the pretty young lady here and a light chicken noodle for this old man here." he said knowing he was young.
The waiter nodded, "anything to drink?"
"Water...you?"he asked Skyler(sp).

((Skylar or skyler it dosen't matter to me))

Sky looked at the list again. "Hmm water is good thank you.." She blushed a little when he said pretty lady and tilted her head. "so.. why do you want to work so badly when your on vacation? Shouldn't you be enjoying yourself?" She wondered as she raised her eyebrow watching him.

"Eh, my doctor said I was a workaholic, he was right. I don't do well relaxing all the time or...even a little. I seem to want to work to take my mind off things.Blah."sighed Richard, his hands shook slightly but stopped a second later.

Not wanting to force him to speak more Sky sat back leaning against the seat relaxing as she shifts her eyes looking out the window now as the waitress brings over two cups of water for them. "I see... well...If you wanted to you can build a snow man with me later on?" She offered.

"Sure...my doctor would kill me if I worked anyway. Been into the hospital too much in the last month anyway. Also, I'm sure my laptop was shut off so I couldn't use it."Richard muttered.

She laughed a little hearing that. "Oh really? Are you pouting because you can't use it?" She shook her head and figured this guy had his work cut out for him.

"Yes, I'd rather like to work. It gets me away from the world of reality and into stories of the semi-real. I'm a writer, a lot of stress you see. I'm actually pretty famous."sighed Richard not really careing himself.

Tilting her head Sky blinked. "Famous? do you go by another name or use your real one?" She blushed lightly. "Sorry, I never heard of you..but then again I mostly read romance." Skylar watched the waitress bring over their food and smiled thanking her before she stuck her fork in the food and began eating it.

"I go by Rick Odo. I didn't want my name to clash with my older sisters business, she is the owner,creater, and runner, of Omega Magazine. Julia Odonal." sighed Richard. "I write romance."
