Chapter Two

Athena

Echo had known about the world of magic but the moment she stepped off the train she was mezmorized by the site. The moon touched the water and the reflection branched out like a ghostly spiderweb while an almost evanescent fog clung to the path as the carriges moved along. It was all so beautiful, especially the scattered stars that littered the sky. Unfortunately, she was split up from Ron, Hermione, and Becca and was sent with three sisters, apparently triplets on their first year. Their insane babble about this hot guy they saw was somewhat agitating so she just stuck to studing the scenery outside.

All three of the sisters had dazeling brown eyes, but only two of them had curly brown hair while the other had hip length fiery red hair. In Echo's opinion she was the beautiful one. The others were just carbon copies of each other. For some reason only the red head attracted her attention. Was it the fact that she wasn't saying a word, or that her skirt was smooth and her artistic hands were shaking like leaves? What was her name? Oh, it didn't matter she had more important things to think about.

A soft meow stole her attention as a meek little kitten hopped into her lap. Its white fur was ratty and covered in mud while its large ears flopped aimlessly. Its eyes, they were an alien purple. Never before had she seen a cat with eyes of that color. They were exotic and beautiful.

" Wow, she's beautiful. Where'd you get her," Echo looked up to see the red-haired girl staring curiously at her and the little feline.

" I don't know. She just hopped up into my lap," by now the other girls were also gazing intently at her as well.

" I believe she's a kneazle or at least has a bit of that blood in her," the girl continued her fingers combing through her red locks.

" What's your name," Echo asked as she brought the cat to her chest.

" Sorry, I'm Amaltheia Anderson, these are my sisters Elizabeth and Cynthia," she smiled as she pointed to them and extending her hand.

Echo stared at her hand for a moment then finally excepted it," Echo Foster, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The three girls stared at her awestruck their eyes glittering with curiosity. Soon the one named Cynthia piped up," You're a Foster, wow!"

Slowly the girls began to talk amongst themselves again leaving Echo to struggle with her own matters. She was a Foster, well at least her mother was and Echo never had the opportunity of meeting her for she died right after she was born. Rasika said it was from birth complications, but Echo thought different, though she'd never voiced her opinion to Rasika. Echo gazed tenderly down at the little feline who was now sleeping. It looked so peaceful and Echo immediately envied the little creature.

" I suppose I could keep you, if you wanted me to, Athena," her mother's name came somewhat stubbornly off her lips as she scratched the creature's ears gently.
