I don't own anything other than Vivian and her family.

In the soft light of dusk, small herds of deer grazed daintily upon lush shoots of grass, whilst rabbits frolicked between their long slender legs, all was at peace. A lynx lounged in the boughs of a large willow, observing the actions of the creatures below. An unwelcome sight caught the attentions of the lynx from her perch, an enormous adder, capable of slaughtering an elk, slithered through the grass on a direct course towards the innocent creatures in the grass. She leaped from her perch to land paws first on to the ground. She shook her head irritatedly, she shouldn't care about these creatures well-being but something seemed to emanate from the reptile in a repulsive wave of hatred. A low growl rumbled in the lynx's throat, none of the creatures moved a muscle. 4 shadows appeared alongside the lynx, on her left, a stag and a huge black dog. To her right, a scraggly looking rat and an impressive wolf with luminous yellow eyes. None, however noticed her presence, the wolf nodded to the dog and both set off at a breakneck pace. The creatures' fled from the incoming beasts while the stag and the rat went to face the massive reptile. The lynx remained stock still, as her slit eyes observed the scene. The stag lowered its antlers trying to give the innocents time to flee. The rat however turned on the stag sinking its sharp teeth into the stag's leg. The adder took its chance and buried its teeth into the stag's unprotected throat. A doe stood at the edge of the meadow,ears laid back, protectively standing over a fawn. The rat scurried off leaving his fallen ally on the field. The villainous reptile slithered swiftly towards the fawn, its eyes lighting up with fiendish glee. The doe threw herself in front of the adder slashing at the creature with her hooves and snapping at its head. The snake almost lazily sunk its fangs into the doe leaving it lying on the ground writhing in its death throes bleating pitifully. The small fawn blinked at the reptile as the scaly creature weaved back and forth before lunging at the fawn. The lynx felt fear rise in her heart, but a blinding harsh green light struck the snake dissipating it in an instant.

A shrill beeping from an alarm clock, awaking Vivian Archae from her slumber, she groggily blinked at the sunrise, and tapped the snooze button rather viciously.

"Ruddy hell that was an odd dream." She attempted to smooth her short fluffy chestnut-brown hair but then gave up. She slowly slid her foot out of her single bed to touch the floor.

"JESUS, THAT'S COLD" She hissed, quickly withdrawing back under the covers. Vivian lay there staring at the smooth white ceiling, contemplated was it really bloody worth it to get up. Giggles and shouts echoed up the stairway, evoking a low groan. Two scruffy little boys one blonde and the other ginger dashed into her room bellowing nonsense and tracking mud all over her previously clean floors. The scoundrels shot shit eating grins at their sister before edging towards her impressive bookshelf.

"Andrew and Martin, if you lay one grubby hand on my literature I will personally skin you alive and hang it on my wall." Vivian called tiredly from her bed. The little boys cackled and took a step closer,

"Oh yeah..." Andrew asked, grinning at his twin.

"...Who is going to make us" Martin finished. With a flourish of her hand Vivian sent both ragamuffins skidding out of her room. She sat up and stared at her hand, she only recently realized she could control some odd things when she was truly pissed off or anxious. Distant shouts of "Mom, Viv shoved us out her room again for no good reason! Mom!" The never ending chorus of blaming and sniveling.

"Oh the joy of younger siblings." She slid out of her bed gingerly and shuffled over to her wardrobe. The raven forcibly opened the sticky door and pawed around for a clean pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. An all too familiar bellow made her cringe,

"VIVIAN MELISSA ARCHAE GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" The brunette sighed and quickly dressed and shut her door. She shuffled down the creaking wooden stairs, rolling her shoulders trying to work out a kink gained from the previous night's sleep.

"Oh god, what did I do this time?" the stairwell led to their small but homey kitchen where Vivian, Andrew and Martin's mother now stood with her arms crossed over her chest. Her Mother stood 5'5 and had long blonde hair tied up into a bun. Tiny spectacles rested on the bridge of the stern matron's nose. Vivian didn't utter a sound, walked over to the counter to pour herself a cup of coffee.

"Your brothers are saying something along the lines of causing them harm and being rude. Your brother's love you very much and it hurts them to have you be so cold to them." Vivian nodded distractedly, having heard the same lecture over and over again. An envelope containing a letter addressed to

Miss Vivan Archae,

the northernmost room single bedroom

Felbridge,1413 Tyler street

It was signed with green ink and when she turned the envelope over in purple wax she saw a crest of a badger, a lion, a snake, and a raven. She quietly opened the envelope fully aware of the heat emanating from her mother's gaze.

"That better not be some love letter from some lad across town, I won't have my daughter whoring around at the age of 11."

She withdrew the letter that read,
