Moon here. Listen, I'm sorry that this chapter sucks, but I need to introduce the characters, So the next few chapters, albeit boring, are necessary. So sorry For the wait.

Flame, I don't care.

Nelena was playing Puzzle Pirates, a multiplayer Internet game, with her 12-year-old little sister, Ria. "Score!" Ria's computer beeped. Nelena flinched at the noise, and then went back to shipwritery.

Nelena Forester was a 13-year-old girl who had grown up very normally. She had known Raul Elstar before they were born, when both their mom's had worked for the same place. Nelena was fairly heavily built, but in a good way. She loved to play with sticks, normally smacking them against trees. It helped her with her enddurace, and she loved the sound of the large pieces of wood splintering against the same trees they came from. She was about 5'2, and she had blue eyes.

Nelena was the older sister of Ria, who was 12. Ria had long brown hair; also, she was only about 4'9. It pissed her off when Nelena reminded her of their height difference, and she was prone to trying to tackle Nelena. She had blue eyes, like Nelena. Her voice squeaked constantly, and singing was a major pastime of hers.

The Forester girls fought a lot, and not only verbally. Sometimes fistfights would ensue, and their mom would have to step in. They grew up in the suburban area, in the heart of New Jersey.

Puzzle Pirates was a very cool MMORPG that allowed people to hang out, play puzzles with or against each other, and get their skills up. Raul Elstar, her little sister, Lilly, and their 3rd cousin, Noeli Sondans, all played.

Suddenly, both computers beeped three times. "Your hearty, Serpentsword, has logged on. Your hearty, Oceanblue, has logged on. Your hearty, Caresa, has logged on." Flashed across both screens.

"Lilly, Raul, and Noeli are on!" Ria cheered. "I'm going to go ask if Raul and Lilly can come over." She raced out of the room and down the stairs, shrieking the entire time. Nelena typed Hi to Raul and got Greetings in return. Navigating, Raul? There were a few seconds before affirmative.

"Arr! Ye be invited to a chat!" came up on her screen. Nelena selected "join".

Lilly: This is a cool feature they added.

Noeli: Yah

Ria: Lilly and Raul, You guys can come over!

Nelena: Cool

Lilly: Awesome

Noeli: Yay for you guys

Raul: I have an exorbant amount of homework to accomplish.

Nelena: Then why are you on?

Raul: I'm deciphering HW and conversing. Tis called multitasking

Lilly: Aww…

Ria: Darn

Raul: My ears are resulting in affliction.

Noeli: That's random

Raul: No, seriously, the top's all burgundy. It escaped my knowledge that receiving cramps in your ears was possible.

Nelena: Maybe they're growing pains

Noeli: Yeah, and next time we see her she'll have elephant ears

Raul: Silence

Lilly: Mom's telling us to get off

Noeli: Same. And she says I shrunk. Ghyaaah!

Lilly: see ya

Raul: farewell

"Serpentsword has left the chat, Oceanblue has left the chat, Caresa has left the chat." Showed up on Nelena's screen. She sighed, then followed suit and logged off.

Nelena went back to her room and opened a book. She had just started this book a few days ago, and she was most of the way through it. She couldn't concentrate, so she threw There and Back Again down, then retrieved her hairbrush from the bathroom. Her hair was thick and dirty blond. Like autumn leaves. "Nelena! Come cut up carrots!" Her mother called.

Normally, Nelena would resist, if it were any other chore, but Nelena suprisedly liked this one. Nelena came down, picked up the knife, and started chopping.

Her dad came up behind her. Startled, she whipped around. The knife sliced across her hand cleanly. Her gaze dropped to her palm. It wasn't even bleeding! Heh, Strange. Nelena went back to chopping carrots. She could have sworn that the knife should have sliced through skin and bone the way it was going. Nelena decided that the potential weapon had missed.

Nelena brought the carrots to the table, and then went to go call Ria for dinner. That incident then dropped out of her mind for a while.

If you want to know what the words mean, put it in a review please.

Phoenix: no one's going to know what the words mean!

Moon: No duh. I used thesaurus . com for most of what Raul says.

Phoenix: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?

Moon: I Do not know. Check profile. It might give insight.
