Laurel shook her head to jolt her self out of shock , her dark brown hair fanning out slightly. "This is insane" She mummbled. She looked at the others , one of her eyes being partly covered by her side wept bangs - giving her a mysterious look. Something inside of her sparked at all of this, something that had been asleep for ages- " I guess I don't have a choice.."
 
The centaur then looked at Laruel with a guarded look. " And who are you? Are you a daughter of one of our kings, queens or heroes of old as well?"

Something sparked behind Laurel's eyes as she held her self stright as proud. Her cool and even air returned. " I'm Laurel Selena Avalon, daughter of Captain Emmett Cole Avalon of the United States Navy's 2nd fleet ship the U.S.S Washington." The way she spoke was clear, cut and very formal. If there was any doubt that she was the daughter of someone from high rank in the some milatary before, there ceritanly was none now. Even the way she held herself was the same as a soilder would have when addressing another.

Laurel gave a small kind smile . " But as for anything from here- I'm afraid the answer is no."
 
Cepheus smiled. "Then we are in greater luck then we thought. We believe it is the Yellow dragon ghost. According to what we know. The yellow dragon ghost seeks wealth and power."Cepheus said.
 
" I wonder what we tell them when we get back?," she asked them, putting her hands back in dave's

"As you wish my leige." Cepheus said with a bow.

Tom smiled. "This is gonna be great!" he said.

Katie was still looking around dazed.
 
At Dave's comments, Laurel's cold attuidue returned as her eyes darkend. " Yeah, great to you maybe. -But I hate it. I hate being a navy brat. You try moving around the whole world an never knowing how long you'll be there, let's see how you like it."
 
" i'm not being negative, I'm being realistic." Laurel said dryly as she stuffed her hands in to the pockets of her jacket while she walked. " I didn't have the really chance to be kid. The navy is all about reality, logic - hope, dreams and everything else is just a waste of time." She voice had an underlying hint of well hidden hurt and sadness.

"You don't have time to meet people when you don't even know when your going to leave. Half the time we don't even bother to unpack our things."

(btw, what do you think about how I'm developing Laurel's character? i'm trying to make her sorta like a parallel to Susan )
 
((oh! lol oh no Laurel is actually a really nice person- it's just that she's "thick skinned". Think about it, she's been moved from place to place her whole life and probably never had any real contact with people her own age before. She's not use to being around people, and also since she doesn't stay anywhere for long - Making friends would just make leaving even more painful. Trust me, ALOT of my friends are kids who's parents are in the army or whatnot, and it's not easy. Think of spending 16 years of never having a real home. Alot of us kids who live in once place say we envy them once we hear the places they've been - but in reality they envy us because we have a home we know that'll never change each week, we have friends we've had since 2nd grade and we have a family. Half my friends who are army brats or whatever almost never see their mom or dad because they're so busy.

Sure everyone says that "you must be so proud. Your mom/dad is a hero to this country." , but really - to the child - it's nothing but bitter loneliness.))

Laurel followed them, keeping her distance. She really wanted to believe , she did. The child part of her was screaming, begging , pleading for her to trust her heart - just this once. But the words her heard her whole childhood rang in her head

" It's time you stopped dreaming. You're a big girl now"

"You will see soon." Cepheus said.

"I can't believe we are actually in Narnia!" Tommy said with excitement in his voice. "What do you think Dave?"
 
Laurel continuned to follow them from behind. As she walked she looked at the woods around them. ' I feel like I'm in a dream' She thought. She stopped, looking to make sure she didn't lose the group, and looked up a cherry tree. The branches were filled with pink blossoms and petals floated down - landing in her hair and clothes.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Laurel blinked. 'Did that tree just talk?' Without thinking she placed a hand on the trunk and gasped slightly. It felt alive- like a unending life force, warm and comforting. A light breeze picked up and shook the trees limbs and Laurel had the strange idea that it looked like it was laughing with joy. Then a waved of pink petals floated down and swirled around her.

At first she was scared, but for some reason that vanished. She made out a figure in the mass of petals - A women in a elgeant gown and flowing hair. Laurel laughed as petals tickled her cheek. Her laugh sounded like water falling over crystal. She couldn't even remember the last time she laughed.

"Welcome - little one."[/I]

(( i was watching the "tinkerbell movie" and felt like writing this x3. The movie is so good!))
