Good guesses on last weeks ending note! I decided to have a contest! If anyone can guess my home state, I'll throw in any pairing they want. Here's the next clue: "Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains."
Now, Miranda still doesn't have e-mail and now I'm also working on the Sisters Phoenix's story, so you'll have to be patient.

Amalthia laughed as she walked down the street. She had passed a very hard test and couldn't wait to show her mother.
She stopped laughing when she saw all the police cars in front of her house. Her father was crying and there were so many people around. It was scaring her witless. And her mother's car wasn't there either.
"Sir? What is wrong? Why is Papa crying? Where is Mama?" she asked the nearest person.
The policewoman smiled down at the six-year old. "Honey, there has been an accident. Your Mama has gone away."
"But she'll come back?" Amalthia asked hopefully.
"No, hon. She won't be coming back."

"Papa, where are we?" the seven-year old asked quietly. It was a cold building and strangers were everywhere. She never had like strangers or strange places.
"This is where a friend of mine lives. She'll be taking care of you while I'm at work." Her father told her gently.
"Oh. But you will come back?" she asked quickly.
"Of course." He promised. But he didn't come that day, or the next, or the next.

Amalthia slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was foggy, which told her she had had another fever last night. The first thing she heard was a loud purring. Her mouth was drier then sawdust and her entire body was numb.
She couldn't move at first. Then, her vision cleared up. The numbness faded a little. But that was all. She barely lifted her head and saw Midnight sleeping at the foot of her bed. She also saw a large, dumpy (pudgy) sort of woman cleaning the shelves in the room. It was a strange room for her and she pondered on how she had gotten here.
The woman turned and noticed she was awake, "Oh! I didn't hear you wake up, dear. You've been asleep for a few days now. We've been afraid you would never wake up. My name is Mrs. Willingsworth. I am the housekeeper for the Kaiba brothers. You are in their mansion. What is your name child?"
"Amalthia." She managed to croak out. Her mouth was getting drier by the minute. She was able to raise her hand slowly over to the bedside table where she saw a glass of water. After a few minutes, she finally managed to drink.
Mrs. Willingsworth noticed her slow movement. "What is wrong, dear? You act like you can't move..."
Putting the glass back, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Willingsworth. "I'm always like this after a fever. My entire body goes numb, which makes it very hard to move quickly. My vision is always a little foggy at first as well. But it wears off after a little while."
"Do these fevers happen often?" she asked in surprise. 'Poor child looks exhausted, though she has been asleep for almost a week.'
"Ever few months. I don't really know why." 'Midnight, are you all right?' she asked mentally as she answered the housekeepers questions.
'Fine. You have been asleep for so long though. And that yearling has been in her with that cub everyday...' Midnight answered tiredly, accidentally using the panther terms.
"Someone has come in here everyday!" she said out loud in surprise.
Mrs. Willingsworth looked at her startled, "Yes, Miss Amalthia. Mr. Kaiba and his younger brother Mokuba have been in here everyday to see you. But how did you know?"
A young man around her age stepped into the room closely followed by a boy a few years younger, cutting off Amalthia's reply.
The older one addressed Mrs. Willingsworth, "I heard you speaking with someone. May I ask who?"
Amalthia weakly tried to sit up. Midnight soon came over and helped her adjust. But in the process she hit her head, causing her to moan softly.
That caught the males' attention. "You're awake!" the youngest exclaimed in excitement. She smiled a little in return before reaching up to grab her locket. It was a horrible habit she did every time she talked to someone she didn't know. She almost screamed when she didn't find it.
'Where is my locket?' she asked Midnight franticly. Midnight gave her a surprised look before jumping off the bed and looking around.
'I can't find it.' Midnight answered. Suddenly, she smelt roses and lilacs, Amalthia's trademark scent. It was coming from the yearling's pocket! 'Wait! The yearling has it!' she growled mentally and out loud.
Every one of them stepped back. Amalthia almost laughed at the sight they made. "Midnight smells the my scent on my locket that is in the eldest of the two boys' pocket. She will back off if you will return it to me."
He quickly removed it and handed it to her. 'Chill Miss Ferocious. I have it back.' She soothed Midnight mentally. She stopped growling and jumped up beside Amalthia.
"You obviously know my name. But I'm afraid I do not know yours." She spoke in her usual calm, meek sort of way.
"My name Mokuba and this is my older brother, Seto. We're the Kaiba brothers. But they might know who you are, but I don't." The youngest stated.
Amalthia nodded, "Pleasure to meet you Mokuba. My name is Amalthia, and this purring furball is Midnight." She received a laugh from the humans and a glare from Midnight at the last statement.
Amalthia thought both to herself and Midnight, 'We will only stay for a few more days at most. Then we must move on before the find out about us.'
