Chapter 4:
The Stranger
**We start out the scene the way we left it, with the girl coming into the house. The parents are about to say their first words to the girl, their words will be in format (M- "words") Mrs. Atsuko Koshi= AK; Mr. Yumato Koshi= YK; Mrs. Kiki Deles= KD; Mr. Wilson Deles= WD. The words spoken by the girl (Cassie) will be in normal fonting, in quotation.
"Thank you! You have saved me kind people. For that, I am very grateful! You must indeed be powers and must be indeed powerful, for I have observed that there are many upscale charms upon the house and surrounding area. I know you must be very flustered, but fear not, I'm very friendly and most certainly a good power, as are you, too my knowing."
YK- "You are a very observant and talkative little girl now aren't you? I'm Mr. Koshi. Is it too much too ask your name, and why your presence is upon us?"
"Oh. Yes. Most definitely. My name is Cassie Langlois. I am technically a She-dog Demon (A look of confusion/terror on their faces), but fear not, I have long outgrown my demonic intentions and have went threw years of practice and training under Lord Gimico (Gee me koh). I will obtain my powers as a bender soon. This is why I am being targeted. In two weeks, I will trade my terrible demonic powers for bending powers and learn my true belonging or such, my purpose, in this earth."
*pauses momentarily, but not long enough for any of the parents to say a word*
"You may ask WHO is after me. I cannot tell you, for I do not know… (A look of sadness in her eyes)… When I sense him coming closer, I run. He must have known me when I was little, because he sent me a package containing pictures of my parents and me, when I was about 3 years of age. My demonic powers tell me that he has terrible intentions, I know they are terrible because even my demonic powers can sense it, and though I have changed, my powers have not, they still sense only good and TERRIBLE. These are the things that would threaten a demon."
*pauses, then puts her tiny hand on her forehead, and continues*
"Oh Dear. I DO talk too much. I'm sorry!"
YK- "That's quite alright. What you provided was very informational. And though the thought of your being a demon still makes me unsure, you did enter my house."
AK-"It is under a protection spell. You must truly be good if you can enter this house."
WD- "Yes, indeed"
KD- "My dear, I'm Mrs. Deles, and that is my husband (points to Mr. Deles). How old are you? Where do you live?"
"I'm 17, and I'm currently living with Mrs. Yoko Kimiko, my guardian, in Ga'Hoole. *Starts crying and falls into a ball on the ground, her face cupped in her hands*… Oh! I hope she's ok…. And Anita and Brooke, and Oh how could I leave them!!"
*Looks up to Mr. Koshi*
"How could I leave them in danger?"
*Returns to balled position and continues to sob*
*Mrs. Deles kneels down beside her and puts her hand on her back*
KD- "Are Anita and Brooke your sisters?"
*Cassie nods*
KD- "Are you sure that this demon will hurt them?"
"No, but I can sense their fear. They are in danger… and I put them there!"
"If I could I'd go back and take them here, where it's safe, but I know that he is close enough to me that if I leave this house, he will get me. I am too afraid."
Kiki turns to Wilson, Yumato, and Atsuki and says, "Is there any way we can help her to get her sisters and caretaker? I know you were perfecting your teleportation spell… does it work yet?"
WD- "I don't know darling, I haven't tried it in over 2 years. Even so, it would not be safe. It's possible it could only work one time, which would leave us suck in Ga'Hoole, and also in danger."
Kiki turns to Cassie, "Sweetie we will do the best we can to help you and your family, but we have no idea how. Nevertheless, it is getting late, you can sleep in guest room number 3, and I will show you where it is. Come follow me."
Kiki brings Cassie to the room. Meanwhile, Mr. Koshi tells the Deles' they should stay the night and shows them to room number 1 of 15 guest bedrooms in the Koshi household. Lilliana and Kieta go to Kieta's room and go to sleep.
Stay tuned for Chapter 5: Journey to Ga'Hoole.
