And So It Begins...
A thick, black leash pulled her wrist, at the end of it a curious little pathling shoveling the earth with its boney snout. She had travelled a long ways to get here, mostly by foot however there had been a few...strange run-ins with the folk around this part of town. A buggy of some sort, brightly colored yet beaten and battered very apparently, had rolled its way to the iron wrought gates at last and dropped the ghoul off abruptly. "Good riddance." The skeletal man groaned, waving his flesh-lacking hands out the window before speeding off.
She had waved in return, a mocking-grin fading as her attention turned elsewhere.
Dust coiled about her in remnants of the man’s departure, a soft cough echoing into the night. Despite the foul words exchanged between the two, Natalia had taken to her final travel companion quite easily! Although he would surely dispute this, they had formed a bond stranger than any...she would miss that man. What was his name again? Ahh, no matter. She was here! Finally, she had arrived.
The mountains were much colder and perhaps someday she would miss the wind chill and snowfall, and oh! The need to cuddle up for warmth shared by all northern natives, but for now her needs were here, her purpose lying just beyond those sturdy gates...somewhere. Electric blue hair and a lovely face...a bit quiet, but perfect nonetheless; Natalia was searching for someone. She had come to the academy for many things, becoming a woman now with attributes that a mother and father should have taught her but never could. However, one girl had been the initial reason for her coming; the start of her journey, per say and here at the Academy she should be!
WOULD she know of Natalia? Would her eyes light up at the sight of pale skin and a long tail? Probably not. They had never formally met, but the technicalities were eliminated once her foot stepped onto school grounds--Natalia would just have to start from scratch, relearning things she already knew in order to form a genuine kinship. It would be a task and a half, but one she had been well aware of from the start.
Papers were clutched in her free hand, along with a suitcase which held all the clothes she would need for now. "Dorms..." She started, tilting her head when her eyes met with the tall buildings. Dorms, classes, studying...Natalia had never gone to school before so all of this would be new! It was as exciting as it was nerve wrecking, looking to the paperwork and then to the school, before focusing again on the pictures and maps in hand.
"Monster Dorm." She repeated to herself, finally breaking her sights free to give Right On, her young pathling, a smile. "Lets play hard, drink hard and run this s**t into the ground, what do you say?" It was meant to be somewhat of a joke, her features never wavering.
In response the black creature snorted green smoke, turning around to give her his bum before sniffing the grounds once more. He didn't want to be here, he would have been happier living in their cave to the north--just the two of them. Natalia rolled her eyes and chuckled smoothly, taking her first step with a bit of a sway that made walking in heels look easy. "Quit being a baby and help me find our room."

Letters to Loved Ones...
Stretched out on her bed, pen and paper in hand, Natalia felt the woe surfacing. Her eyes, although dry for now, looked to sparkle in the dim lighting and despite Right On’s antics to please his owner, not even a smirk was fixed on her lips. Instead, the ghoul sighed in response to all things and threw her head forward onto a pillow. “Mm-why?” She whispered, her pathling edging forward to tap his skull against her head. Lifting back up and huffing for a second time, Natalia looked the sheet over before scribbling words down with her pen.
Quote: Dear mother and father, I am attending a school called Amityville Academy. You two must be shocked. School is pretty awesome so far. I’ve met a lot of people here, a lot of people who seem to care about what I have to say and how I feel…or, at least I think they do. It doesn’t matter if they don’t, it would just be nice you know. I am settled in a building called the ‘monster dorms’. I know you guys probably do not know what that is, it has been a while since you guys went to school, but basically they give me my own room and stuff. I also have a pet here, which is pretty cool. Found him when I was living up North near a dragon village. You guys are probably shaking your heads right now, I know—we lemurs do not associate with dragons. We don’t associate with anyone but other lemurs, monsters, or whatever. Honestly, if you guys are not proud of that decision I don’t care; it’s not like you guys are around to make sure I don’t get into trouble anyway. So I’m doing great, really. Don’t worry about me, I am a big girl and I can handle my s**t the way it needs to be handled. I’m confident in myself that I will do well here; I haven’t missed a class yet! I haven’t made any grades yet, but I’m sure they will all be A’s when I do. Maybe you guys will be proud of me? Maybe not. Again, it doesn’t matter—where ever you guys are, it is not here and so you do not matter. I have also indulged in my instinctual ways, you know what I am talking about. Yeah, it was never what you guys wanted from me; our kind are a proper sort, ones who do not fancy the openness of feelings and emotions toward others. But I am not you, I do not consider myself associated with you or ‘your kind’. So, I will continue to do whatever it is I think suits me. You guys are really missing out on something great. I hope you guys are hating yourselves for abandoning your only child. I know I hate you. ~Natalia.
Taking the paper and holding it up, drops of water ran off the face and onto the sheets beneath it, tear stains littering the letter itself. After a moment of staring at it, letting a sob take hold of her and jerk her body, Natalia crumpled the letter and threw it on her floor where it rolled and disappeared beneath the bed.
