It wasn't unusual to Clea to rise at 4:30 AM and usually wait around. But now, her father no longer controlled her. Flipping through the finished story book, she decided to take a tour of the mansion that she now called home. So far, it'd been good, since she'd made friends with Codi. So, clad in a fleece neon green shirt and fleece vertically striped blue and dark green pants, she proceeded to the library. Teetering around, she also figured she should start practicing to walk soon too, so people wouldn't notice that weakness in her yet.

Opening the door, she was glad to see no one was inside for the time being. Some more strangers popping up would made her day not start very well. Browsing around, she looked for a place to sit down and read like a normal human would.

codi's room was right down the hall from the library. his ear twitched codi heard the stumbleing footsteps of clea. he jumped out of bed cleaned up his room for the morning. codi tiptoed to the door and closed it slowly behind him as he snuck to the library. codi slunk into the library and walked up behind clea without her noticeing. "tag your it."

"AH!" Clea jumped, and knocked over the table. In a second, her body vanished from the table. A bucnh of leaves swirled and replaced it. The next thing Clea knew, she was on top of one of the book shelves, clad in a black tanktp and bicycle shorts. "Codi!"

codi walked to the latter attached to that shelf and hugged clea "come on lets get you down." he tried to be polite without laughing at her. "so how are you today clea?"

"Clea was fine until Codi scared her," Clea said, pouting. "Clea knew no one was up, so she came to the library to see if they had anymore faerie tales she could read to Codi." She looked down at the ground and scattered into a bunch of leaves, reforming rather quickly one the ground. "Why's Codi up so early? Did he have a nightmare?"

codi did not have a nightmare it was much worse it was a reliving of the morge. the autapsy the had cut him so many times but he did not want to scare clea "no i slept well."he lied although this made him feel guilty. he had never had a freind like clea. he pulled her into a hug so she would not see his face as he relived it again. he began to sob loudly.

"Codi?" Clea asked, hearing him cry. "It's okay, CLea's here for Codi." She returned the hug and held onto him. "It's okay COdi."

"thanks clea" codi was happy someone cared. "what do you want to do today."

"Clea doens't know." Clea shrugged, "Maybe go to the park, play games, read books, draw pictures, Little kid things Clea missed out on." She shrugged, "What does COdi want to do?" She held up the book, "Here Codi."

codi smiled at clea haveing her was like haveing a little sister. "why don't we turn that one story into a book of stories we both like." codi thought clea would love this idea.

Slowly the slightly ragged woman drug herself into the library the danger room had not been kind that night. Her hair had been black the night before but with every ugly transformation she found herself with light gray or white hair. Falling a bit she found herself slightly up against a book shelf it was weird that she was not alone at this hour. So close to the witching hour who else would be up besides her. The library of this place seemed as good a place as any to find some small answers about her curse. Still slightly agitated from her time in the danger room she wanted to avoid having any one in her way reading alone would be hard enough.

Walking from round a corner she revealed herself to those who had gotten there before her. Scratching her behind her ear she continued to walk a bit shaky toward the section she thought would help her the most."Don't mind me but if you could in any way please not yell I would be eternally grateful cause right now i can hear your hearts beating and that alone is bugging the hell out of me." she said pointing to her slightly larger ears after she had finished talking she had not seen these two before but it would hopefully be fine the were mutants like her which meant they would not mind her and her slightly inhuman appearance too much hopefully. Wrapping her tail around her waist she walked over to a book shelf and took out a book and quickly put it back she had a long way to go.

Clea looked back ot the older woman, than back at Codi. "Who's that?" she asked. She looked back at the woman again. "She has a tail."

codi looked at her "hi i'm codi and this is clea we are new here." codi grinned he was happy to see someone else with a physical mutation. codi took off his hat to reviel his horns and he bowed to her.

Looking back Mir saw that the male one was talking to her while the female was talking about her normally this would not bug her to much but it was just one of those nights and she was in a foul mood."I know I have a tail its fun how people seem to notice that yes every one stare at the girl with a tail right she is weird right lets all talk like she can't hear us...well I CAN!!!" she went on ranting and raving not noticing that the male had began to taken off his hat showing off his nice little curse sadly any thing he might have had to say would likely fall on slightly deaf years. Getting excited was what she came down here to avoid but like always frustration seemed to follow her. Cracking her neck she turned around to face them focusing her luminescent amber gazed upon the female. To herself she thought of all the people who had made comments like that which only seemed to make her more angry."Hello I am Miracle and like I said before I can hear a very good amount of your bodily functions and so quieter you are the better this will be for all of us," she said pulling the strap on her tank top up.

Clea tilted her head to the side. "Sorry." She said, backing up, knowing she'd made the woman mad. SH elooked at Codi, then back at the woman. "Clea likes the tail though." She smiled.
