Charlie smirked a little as her new roommate began to explain what she had to move in. She could tell that Mira had other things on her mind and that she was a bit distracted. Charlie followed her around the house but tried to be careful as to not become too close in fear that she would make her feel uncomfortable. As she followed her, she perked up when she asked if she needed help with her things. A small twist of her head implied 'no'. "I'm okay, thank you though. I'm sure you will need some help though. I'm stronger than I look, I can carry almost anything." she said as she finally made it to what would be their rooms. It was two decent sized rooms, complete with walk in closets and a bathroom that joined the two rooms together. She walked into her room and looked around. For once, she felt like she was at home and she took a deep breath. "How's your room Mira?" she called out as she walked across the room and into the bathroom that she would be sharing with her.

As she made it to Mira's room, she stood at the door frame and leaned against it gently. While involuntarily watching every movement that she was making, she couldn't help but wonder about this girl. There was something about her that made her so attractive. Charlie didn't even know if she was into women that way. She felt it was best if she kept that to herself so that way Mira wouldn't freak out if she was into men instead. After a few moments of awkward silence, Charlie took a deep breath. "Well, I don't know about you but I am starving. So how about we go grab our things and I'll cook us a big dinner." she asked smiling.

Louis the Realtor smiled from ear to ear as the two girls decided to take the house together. Charlie smiled as well as Mira decided to take a leap of faith and trust that a complete stranger off the street could be a good roommate. As Louis got the papers together, Charlie took out her checkbook as well and started to fill it out. As she wrote out her check, she glanced up at Mira and couldn't help but feel a little giddy on the inside. Not only was she about to leave that pathetic excuse of a living situation but the woman she was going to live with was extremely good looking. Charlie had always been attracted to females but never actually had a girlfriend before. As Mira looked back up at her, she quickly looked down at her checkbook and blushed a little red in her cheeks and ears. She then cleared her throat and handed Louis the check from her and smiled as she took the pen from her. She quickly looked over the agreement forms and signed the places that needed to be signed.

"Looks like you're stuck with me for at least a year, Mira." she teased as she signed the last bit of paper.

"Very good, ladies. You are free to move in anytime. Congratulations and welcome home." Louis said as she handed both girls a key to the house. After a few more minutes of chit chatting between the three ladies, Louis gathered her belongings and was out of the door. Charlie folded her arms together and awkwardly looked at Mira. She cleared her throat again and looked around at the now empty house. She knew that eventually it wouldn't be empty and awkward. She started to envision the living room with furniture and pictures all over. She was determined to make it look home like. She looked at Mira. "Do you have a lot of things to move in? It'll take me a few trips to get all of my belongings. I never really had a lot of room before so I am used to travelling light."

I never got a PM from you!

Charlie smiled at the young woman as she extended her hand to her. She took her hand into hers and shook it firmly. "Charlotte Montgomry but everyone calls me Charlie. I'm sorry, I thought you looked like someone I've met before. My mistake. So..uh.. looking at the house too I guess?" she asked even though she internally rolled her eyes at herself for the stupid question. Obviously she was here for the open house, why else would she be there? She sighed as her cheeks flushed a bright red and she cleared her throat, hoping it would diffuse the awkward silence. As they stood there for a moment, the realitor walked by and smiled at the two women.

"Oh ladies, I'm glad you two haven't left yet. I went over both of your questionaires and profiles and by chance, I think you two ladies would be wonderful as roommates if you two are up for it. It seems like you two ladies would be very compatible and it would be within both of your price ranges." The older woman said with a bright smile on her face.

Charlie looked over at Mira and back at the realitor. As much as she didnt want to have to deal with a roommate, she knew that she needed to get out of that small room and couldn't be able to afford this house on her own. She thought about it for a moment and then looked at Mira. "I know we don't know each other but I'm not loud and I don't have many friends so I won't be crazy around the house. I'm good at cleaning and cooking and taking care of a house won't be a problem. I know it's not ideal but I really need this. What do you say?" she asked her in hopes that she would agree to this.

"Also ladies, this house also has a pool out back which is included in the rent." The older woman chimed in.

"A pool? C'mon Mira, how can you say no to that?" Charlie said to Lira in a playful manner hoping it would make her at least smile.

One door closes, another one opens or at least that's what they say. Who were these people that were called "they" and why did "they" say these things? It was simple mindless thinking that Charlie Montgomry found herself in on a daily basis. She was able to look at a situation, person, or even a word and begin to wonder why it was named a certain way or why it came to be. It was a bit distracting at times and she even considered to put herself through a psychology test to see if she was secretly crazy.

On the morning of May 26, Charlie woke up because of the shining brightness of the sun coming through her window. She clenched her eyes shut at first but then gradually opened them up. She looked around in her small room that she had be renting out from an old couple who had a spare room in their basement. The walls were plain and white and only gave her one window and barely a closet to keep her belongings. It had been a rough patch in her life and she had no where else to go. Her family found her to be a disappointment when her dreams of medical school were shot to hell because of a unfortunate circumstance that she had no control over. She had learn to crash at friends houses but she knew it wasn't "home".

As she sat up and stretched, she looked out her window and took a deep breath. She knew she needed to find herself a better home. Living with the Lannister couple was fine but it wasn't home and she felt uncomfortable. Today was her day off from her waitressing job she aquired shortly after being thrown out of med school and decided it was the best time to go searching for the place that she may be able to call home for real. She got up quickly and ransacked her closet looking for something appropriate to wear. After a few minutes, she decided on a pair of fitted jeans and a v-neck band tshirt. As she stood in front of the mirror and examined her blonde hair falling over her shoulders and the noticably dark circles under her eyes from stress and lack of sleep, she sighed and shook her head.

"As good as it's going to get." she said to herself in a low tone.

Grabbing her bag, she set off on a long day of apartment hunting. She used the newspaper that was left on the steps at the house. Charlie looked through her newspaper and went through many tours to many different apartments. Compared to others, Charlie was running out of options. Some were too expensive for her price range and some that were cheaper than she could afford were disgusting and worse than the situation she was in now. She sat in her car with her head on the steering wheel and banged her head gently a few times. "This is hopeless." she said to herself again and again. It was enough to set her up for a bad rest of the day. Feeling defeated, she decided to call it a day and give up.

On her way home, her mind began to wander again and her subconcious was a little out of sorts. She missed a turn going to her house and when she finally realized that she did, she ended up passing a "House for Rent" sign outside of a beautiful Ranch style house. Knowing that she probably wouldn't be able to afford it, she debated whether or not to attempt to see it. She decided last minute that it wouldn't hurt to try and pulled into the driveway and walked up to the open house and began to look around. It was perfect and had everything she could ever want. It had two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and dining room. It came equipped with a washer and dryer and even a fixed basement. Charlie was amazed and even mesmerized as she continued to walk around looking. So much so that as she took a sharp corner, she accidently bumped into another woman nearly knocking them both down.

"Oh my God. I am so sorry." she said putting her hand on the woman's arm gently. "I'm such a clutz and didn't see you..wait a minute..Don't I know you?" she asked curiously.

Hello! :)

Living In Lyrics (mechanicalman's 1x1 Interest Checks...High Cas-Advanced)

Hello, I'm interested in the "I Don't Believe it's Through" song/plot. It's really intriguing and I feel like it's a different pairing than most.

PM me if you're still interested.

The Elemental & The Human (Bloodbear)

As Omni stood up and asked if she wanted to make her first change as a wolf, she could feel the heat rising in her skin. She was nervous and the thought of changing into an animal was making her nerves a little jumpy. She didn't want to show her fear so instead, she stood up and walked over to him. As she did, she stopped when she heard the sound of footprints coming towards them. It was Ryan and Thor who stopped their playing to watch. This made Reagan even more nervous.

Her eyes fell to Omni who was describing how it was supposed to be. She closed her eyes and tried to relax her body even though she felt like lava was about to explode from her body. She then pictured herself slowly morph into a smaller wolf than the men. She watched as her arms and legs turned into paws and wolf legs and her torso and head morph into a slender looking wolf with chesnut brown hair just like hers and her blue eyes shining brightly through her fur. It wasn't until she opened her eyes, that she looked around and noticed that she was lower to the ground and the three wolves were almost eye level to her.

The feel of the soft grass underneath her paws felt unreal. She looked behind her and saw the chestnut brown fur and the tail that came with it and she whimpered a little, feeling nervous and unknowing on what to do. She looked back over to Ryan, Thor, and Omni. "I'm.. a wolf." she said in disbelief. She then tried to walk. It was hard at first, since she was used to walking on two legs but after a few steps, she was fine. She walked over to the wolves and was greeted by Ryan who nuzzled his face on hers which made her smile internally.

"So, you guys going to teach me how to play like a real wolf or what?" she teased as she started to run in hopes that they would chase her. She couldn't beleive how fast she could run in this form but she loved it. She felt free. She played with the boys for awhile, and was amazed that she didn't feel tired at all. This had been the most fun that she had in a long long time. It wasn't until she noticed the sunrise that she realized just how long they had been out there.

She walked over to a small cliff and sat down as she watched the sunrise. Without realizing it, she slowly changed back into her human form. She looked down at her hands and saw that she had changed but she didn't mind. She was enjoying the view of the sun. At this point, her mind started to think. She thought about the soul pinning, the fight between Ryan and her which caused her to leave. She thought about the attack and the way she returned to him. Her last thought was Ryan confessing his love and reminding her that he believed in her which made her smile and made her feel reassured that everything was going to be okay.

The Elemental & The Human (Bloodbear)

A small wave of relief came over her when she watched as Omni walked into the kitchen. She watched as the young boy made his way over to the coffee pot and poured himself a cup of the coffee that tasted so delicious. Reagan knew that there was something different about the coffee but she couldn't figure out what it was. The silence in the room was starting to cause a slight ringing in her ears until Omni started to talk. Reagan turned her attention over to the young man. As he explained the coffee, she looked down at her cup and smiled as she finished the rest that was in the cup. She looked up and shook her head.

"No Omni, I'm not mad at you nor do I hate you. You saved my life and I'll always be thankful for you and your father." she explained as she walked over towards the French doors and stood beside him as they both watched as the two wolves wrestled. When he mentioned that she, too, would eventually turn into a wolf, she smiled a little. It reminded her about the times that she would be out on school grounds and Ryan would be in his wolf form watching her. She always wanted to be one and run around the woods with her wolf friend and now she could. She reached over and put her hand on his shoulder reassuringly and smiled.

"Great idea. " she said as she squeezed his hand gently and walked out with him and continued to watch as they chased after one another. At first a shadow would rush by followed by a streak of white. She looked down and nodded slowly. "I do believe you'll be great like him. You are his flesh and blood. It's in you already." she said as she pointed to his heart. "You are like him in more ways than you can see."

Slowly, she made her way to sit on the grass and patted the spot next to her to invite him to sit with her. When he asked her to tell him everything there was to know about her, she sighed a little. "Well, truthfully, there isn't much to say." she started before looking up at the sky for a moment and back down. "When I was born, my parents were non magical folks. My mother got very sick a few years after I was born and she died. I don't really remember her much but the parts I do remember were nice. She would read me stories, tuck me in, and kiss me goodnight. I know most mothers do that but it's all I have." she started off with and sighed a little.

"After my mom died, my father became a drunk. He would drink everything he could afford or find. Half the time, he'd ask me to go to the store and sneak a few things of alcohol in my pockets and run out of the store. When I was about ten, which was when I got my letter of admission to Hogwarts, my father died of liver failure. I went to school as an orphan and I had no one to call family." She explained honestly as a small tear came from her eye. She quickly wiped it away and took a deep breath.

"Wendy was my only friend in school. I spent most of my time outside on the grounds near the lake. I loved to read, it brought me to places that I didn't think I could go. Your father is a little older than I am, so when he was a prefect, he would patrol the school and would see me outside. Instead of reporting me, he let me stay out there. I know now that he was actually protecting me when I originally thought that the wolf from the woods was a friend. " she said gently.

"Long story short, once I left school, I didn't know what I wanted to really do. So, I went to a muggle school to learn how to make clothes. I opened up a muggle shop where I made shirts, skirts, scarfs.. all kinds of stuff. I also had a shop in Diagon Alley where I made robes for children. I went to a party at Wendy's house since she married your father's best friend. Sure enough, your father was there and the rest is history." she said with a smile as she nudged him gently.

"You know, you're very smart for your age. It intrigues me how mature you actually are. I know you've been through so much in your young life but I want you to know, that you can be a kid here. I want you to have fun. I want you to believe in magic and have crazy memories." she said with a small laugh. "I believe all children should have a fun childhood."

The Elemental & The Human (Bloodbear)

\As the water fell from the shower head, Reagan let out a loud yawn. She didn't even stop to look at the time before she went in so she wondered what the actual time was. As she stood in the shower, her body was still feeling warm causing the cold water to hit her skin and produce some steam. Her mind wandered to the powers she had inherited. Fire and electricity was never something she seemed to know much about. She had faith that Ryan would be able to guide her through this crazy journey and only make them grow stronger.

As soon as the shower was over and her fingers were almost numb from the tiny shocks that were spiking from her skin, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked back into the room and took a look outside to see that the night sky was still dark. She walked over to the bed and sat down before reaching over to the night stand by Ryan's side and checked the time. It read 3:36AM on his phone. She sighed, trying to figure out why Ryan would be out of bed at three in the morning. Instead of trying to go back to bed, she decided it would be best that she get dressed and go downstairs to make a snack.

After putting on some comfy lazy clothes that consisted of a tank top and shorts that allowed her skin breath, she opened the door slightly and maneuvered her way out of it and strolled quietly down the hall. The dim lighting made the halls seem a bit creepier than they normally would. She shuddered a bit and started to move a little faster towards the kitchen. She then remembered the countless times she would sometimes picture a ghost chasing after her in the dark as a child. She shook her head and walked into the kitchen and closed the door because in her mind, a closed door meant no ghosts could follow. She smiled and chuckled at her sense of imagination.

As she walked over to the coffee maker, she noticed that it was on and still had some coffee still in the pot. She then took a cup and poured a little into it and gulped it down. It was warm but not warm enough to burn the mouth which meant it was sitting there for a little while. She made the connection that Ryan had been in the kitchen making coffee but it didn't explain where he was now. She walked over to the door to the back yard and suddenly heard the sound of wolves in the distance. She nodded to herself, knowing that Ryan was out in his wolf form.

Now that she knew where Ryan was, she was able to relax a little. She felt silly for being so worried about him but she couldn't deny it, she almost lost him twice. Once when she almost lost herself in both physical and spiritual and once when he fought with Nikki and lost his hand and almost his life. As she gripped the cup in her hands and began to re think the last week, her head started to feel dizzy and her skin became warmer. She remembered that being in a high stressful situation would cause her to explode in one big power trip. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She believed that it wouldn't be fun or acceptable for her to burn the house down. After a few minutes, her heart rate went down and she was calm. That is, until she heard a door open and someone walked in. She jerked her head quickly to see who it was.
