Her heart was racing, pounding in her chest like a jack rabbit being chased.
She had just found a new home. Sure it was with…had been with a silly, sweet Child of Gaia and a stern but kind Bone Gnawer but it was a home. It was more home than before her change or that time with the crow, but would this still be home now. Will everything change the way it did last time she thought looking at the pale green walls of her room, a small picture frame of herself, Tessa and Vieno stood on the nightstand beside her bed, along with a small laptop that Vieno had given her. Would they get to stay here still? Who exactly owned the apartment was it Vieno or Tessa's? Had anyone told Lee-Ann yet? Ira paced her room fingers trailing along the forest green comforter. Mind racing. Only four months. Barely five. Gone, like her grandparents and parents. Like Bryan, only she doesn't really remember Bryan so well anymore. Only that he was important and gone, dead like Vieno.
It seemed like everyone was leaving and all in a quick succession. First her parents in the horrible accident up north, where a large animal had run out onto the road and caused their car to crash and Ira's sudden move down south to Virginia. Then her grandparents after she got taken, she had learned that from the crow man. Ira doesn't really remember anything about being taken or what happened she just knows that Vieno had treaded lightly on the subject and the rest of the caern did so as well when she would come near. Bryan died too, but Ira has a hard time remembering who he was, only that he had been scared. Scared, but brave enough to have gone instead of her. Gone to where Ira wonders as she opens the door to her room, she doesn't remember. All she knows is that the world loves tugging the rug out from under her feet.
