Kat was shocked when she saw Kai at her front door. Karma took a peek. "Oh it's the neighbor buy, the one with the red aura." She nodded, "I'll get another plate"

Kai gave a confused look and Kat was too confused herself to help. Her father saved them both from speaking...sort of.

"Hello there!" He flashed his pearly teeth, "You can call me Wolf-Dancer, here take a seat" He led Kai to a sitting pillow along the large, irregular dining table what was in fact the trunk of what was once a huge tree. "Just to remind me of my life and who I am" Wolf-Dancer winked.

Suddenly the door opened and Julia, Marie, and Tala burst in at the same time Karma brought out four extra plates. "Just a feeling" she smiled serenely.

After dinner everyone moved into Kat's room, the teenagers at least, which was in fact, the whole upstairs floor.

The floor had smooth wooden floors with plants of different sizes and the walls were not eclectic like the down stairs was. Instead the room was divided into two parts by the paint. On one side was warm colors swirling and swishing together before fading into the cool colors all the way to deep black. On the Two opposing walls were rather large Mosaics of the Rising Sun and Full Moon.

Tala whistled. "Way cool Atlantic" He ran a hand over the large wooden pole that was carved out and made into the stairs in the corner of the room; it was identical to the other one they just came up in.

"Jeez, her father is an artist! He's like in touch with the land or something" Kat cringed at the statement. "He's Native American Julia, it's his life" Tala kept looking at the pole. "What's with the frog isn't he like Wolf-Dancer?"

Kat blushed fiercely "No the frog is the family's totem, the wolf is dad's spirit guide."

Kai concentrated on the whole artwork. "There's a beaver, coyote, raven, frog, wolf, and rabbit."

Marie counted 6 animals and took away one and then looked quizzically at Kat.

"Um, the R-Raven was" Kat started, "My twin sister, she was a still born"

No one knew what to say so everyone was relieved when Karma came in with raspberry tarts. When Karma left Kat tried to steer the conversation away.

"Why are you all here? I mean, it's not like I'm not happy to see you, but, you know..." Kat trailed off.

Tala smiled. "These two girls decided that you needed help in all of your problem areas, so I'm supposed to help, who knew Kai was here though? Were we interrupting?"

Kai went to lie on the floor and chuckled. "Had nothing better to do"

Marie kicked him, obviously not liking the answer.

"Wait! Need help? B-but there's nothing wrong with me, is there?"

Julia tried to calm her friend. "No sweetheart, it's just that you let people like him" she pointed to Tala, "walk all over you. And you never wear anything other than jeans and a sweater. And you hide your pretty blue hair with that ugly hat! Don't even get me started on those glasses." Julia huffed while Kat fingered her black horned rimmed glasses.

Marie hugged Kat and then grinned opening a large bag. "W-what is that?"

Tala laughed and Kai gave an amused look. "You, my dear, will be transformed ... maybe."
