He gave her a stern look. He winked at Aries as he walked away to get his stuff. After a few minutes, he had stuffed his oversized backpack and was ready.

*she hugged him then said* tell her i said hi *Aries was interested but didn't say anything till Star had went upstairs and he simply said* i'll try to stay out of trouble with her, but that's gonna be tricky, don't worry about us though, spend time with your family, i know how that comes across, but i lost a lot of time that i wish i could get back, and it's hard to make up for it

He glanced at Aries, a distant glimmer of sadness in his yellow eyes. "I'll try. But my family wasn't the best for the record." He said as he morphed into his direwolf form as if it had become natural at this point. He held the backpack with his teeth as he raced outside.

*Aries understood and said* ok *he raised his eyebrows as he shifted and smiled, proud of her choice then went upstairs to the room she had made for him*

As the the black wolf ran to his parents house. He smiled to himself. His sister would be so happy to see him. Maybe his parents too. As he approached the large house, he shifted back, now panting as he walked up the steps, hearing his heart beating loudly in his chest. Suddenly, the door opened to reaveal a young girl with forest green eyes and light brown cascading long hair. "Brother!" She yelled in excitment. He gave her a large grin as he hugged her. Despite her fancy name, she was not fancy. At all. Suddenly, she looked at him, concerned. "Where have you been? You've been gone for 2 years." She said in heartbreakingly sad voice that crushed him to bits. He opened his mouth to say something as his yellow eyes flickered to the left of her. "I-I-" He started but was abruptly cut off when his sister interupted him. "Well, it doesn't matter! Because you're here now!" She exclaimed, all the sadness of her voice gone, like a tide. Sometimes he forgot that she had the memory of a goldfish at times. But then again, she did have Bipolar Disorder much like himself. And hsad no idea about his powers. As she let him in, he scanned the house carefully but realized with a sense of dread that his parents weren't here. She was home alone.

*she sensed this and debated going over there, but decided against it and hummed softly as she went to the arena to practice*

Irene looked at the mark on his cheek and pointed at it. "What's that?" She asked. He blushed as he realized that she was pointing to the mark. "It's a long story." He answered firmly. And truth be told, it actually was. He scoffed at how his parents left their 9 year old daughter alone. His father was probably working while his mom...was probably out shopping or partying. He sat down on the couch. "Hey sis, I need to call someone real quick. Why don't you set up a movie for us to watch?" He asked, getting his phone out. She nodded eagerly as he went upstairs to his tidy room. His sister liked to clean things, if it were up to his parents, his room would probably be a mess. He tried calling Star.

*her phone was on the bench but she finished the round she was on, since she was almost done, and answered, panting a little but obviously happy* hey Ves! what's up?

He smiled to himself as he answered. "Hey, my parents aren't home sooo, do you want to come over?" He asked.

*she chuckled then said* sure, not like i'm doing much, but i'm not bringing Aries, i don't want him to be bad influence to your sis, i'll be over in a few minutes, just let me get changed, since i was practicing when you called, cya *after changing she locked Aries in his room so he wasn't making chaos, then went over to Ves's place, knocking gently with the pattern that Ves knew was her*
