Eclipse walked onto the bridge and stared down into the passing water and watched as a flash of silver swam its way downstream, "Just like I remember..."

Skylen ran up onto the bridge, stopping beside Eclipse. She smiled and looked down at the stream. "It looks beautiful..." She said, gazing at the stream. Skylen looked up at Eclipse, she gave a faint smile. "C'mon, lets get walking. Before it gets dark out."

"Yeah you're right...as usual." Eclipse turned to face the other side of the bridege. Step by step he walked over, feeling the strange sense of home that he had almost forgotten.

Skylen looked back at Eclipse as he took his time. She stopped and waited for him to catch up to her. She grabbed him by the hand and walked with him down the road, anticipating each step she took.

Eclipse smiled as the small village finally came into view, "It hasn't changed at all. Not in all these months..." Eclipse gave a nostalgic smile as he walked into the village square which consisted of a small fountain. "Which ones my house, I'll give you three guesses." Eclipse then pointed to each of the four buildings surrounding the fountain.

Skylen laughed and looked at the four buildings.. "Well... um.... I don't know..." She said. Skylen randomly pointed at one of the four builldings. "Is that it?.." She asked, unsured.

"No try again." Eclipse held two fingers up, "Only two left..."

Sparrow frowned and looked at the other three house, biting her lip. "That one?..." She said pointing to another one.

"Yup How did you know?" smiled Eclipse. He ran up onto the porch and touched the rough artwork etched onto the frame, bringing back memories. He then knocked on the door and held his breath.

Skylen walked up to the door slowly after Eclipse had knocked. She froze as the door opened to show woman standing in the doorway, looking at Eclipse.

The woman stood there for about a minute in complete silence, Eclipse said nothing and stayed quiet. She eventually regained the composure to talk, "James? Is it really you?"
"Hello mum" replied Eclipse sheepishly. In a scream of delight she grabbed him and embraced him in a hug, "Oh James! You're back! I... I thought you had..."
"It's Ok Mum its fine...things have been fairly difficult..." Eclipse's mum's hysterical state brought some attention and soon his parents and his younger brother surrounded him. "Come inside! please!" cried his mother. "Mum...guest?" said Eclipse pointing at Skylen, "This is a friend of mine that is in need of somewhere to stay after the tornado hit...she saved my life I was hoping I could repay the favour." Eclipse's mother gave a blank and slightly confused expression before ushering them both inside.

Skylen walked inside as she was ushered in. She smiled shyly at the others, not really knowing what to expect from them. Just smile and nod Skylen and everything will be fine.. she repeated over and over in her head.

"Ok ok enough," Eclipse wasn't used to this kind of attention from his teary eyed parents.
"Where have you been? What happened to you? How have you lived?Why do you have traces of scars dotted over your body?" were a few questions that he was asked. Eclipse tried to answer as best as he could avoiding referring about him and Skylen being a werewolf. He noticed however that his brother wasn't joining in with the flurry but he remained quiet and at the side of the room staring at Skylen.
"Everyone, this is Skylen." stared Eclipse trying to push some of the attention off of him, "Skylen meet Mum, Dad and Seb, my brother."

Skylen looked at Eclipse in a paniced look before looking at his family members smiling. "Hello..." She said shyly, giving a small wave. She glanced over at Seb who seemed to hate her guts after only just seeing her.

Seb grunted before walking off upstairs. Eclipse suddenly found himself retelling stories of the past while he carefully omitted any reference to werewolves. He beckoned Skylen over when he noticed her awkwardness and he mentally asked her to help him in making up the tales.

Skylen nodded slowly and joined in on the tales, taking a mental note as she saw Seb leave to go upstairs. She sighed, first impressions were always the worst..

Don't worry about him mentally said Eclipse when he saw Skylen's gaze return to him from his brother, he's always been a bit wierd

Yeah... I suppose.. She said. "So.. lovely house you've got here.." She said after her and Eclipse had finished talking about their tales, trying to lighten the mood she had felt she brought upon herself.

"Well thankyou Skylen, It's a nice little village. Far from the busyness of the city." said Eclipse's mother with a happy smile on her face. Eclipse smiled, "We moved here from the city, my parent's came from the city as they said they got bored of that lifestyle. So they came here and created a small village that I showed you, I'll show you the rest of the land tomorrow, it's quite nice really."

Skylen nodded, glancing around the room, "I bet it is.." She said.

"We're really tired after the journey, is..is my room still available?" asked Eclipse while yawning, not really sure if he did that for effect or not. Eclipse's mum nodded, "You must be tired if you travelled all the way from there. Your room has been untouched apart from a general tidy, I'm sure you'll both fit in there."
Eclipse added, "We don't have a spare room but I have two beds in my room. Don't ask..."

Skylen shrugged. "It's fine." She gave one last glance around before following Eclipse to his room.

Eclipse opened his room, "Aaahh" he smiled and jumped onto his bed, "Gawd I've missed sleeping on something soft, bus and taxi seats really don't do much good."

Skylen sat down on the other bed, she plopped down on her back and sighed. "This does do wonders on your back.." She said, closing her eyes.

Eclipse closed his eyes and all was quiet for a moment, "Hey Skylen, Are you ok with this? I do kinda feel like I've thrown you in the deep end with this."
