Aricka followed Gregory into the living area to find Evan scrolling through channels on a TV that was hidden within a built-in cabinet.  “Oh, hi mom you look better.”          “Joyce, David this is my mate, Aricka Daniels and her pup, Evan.  Were you able to get the books?”          “Oh, yes.  Here they are.  I assume Evan is the pup we are here to discuss?”  Gregory motioned the two to sit as he took the books and handed them to Evan.           “Yes, now he is seven almost eight years old.  He has been raised by his mother here whom until a few days ago did not know of our existence.  Now to complicate things Evan is an early bloomer and has not only been shif

            Gregory led his father into the sunroom which was towards the back of the house.  He remembered them eating meals out here as a pup before his mother had taken over the space claiming now that they were gone it would be wasted space.  But he knew she loved the sun and airy feel of the plants.  It meant even on rainy days she was warm, dry and in nature. Truthfully, Gregory has always wanted to give other rooms in the pack house a similar treatment but had never had the time to work out exactly how he would achieve this.  &

                The pups had been found outside the ballroom on a patio, lounging in Adirondack chairs chattering to each other and making plans upon plans for tomorrow.  “Okay, munchkins it’s bedtime who is sleeping where?”  Aricka clapped her hands and said rather loudly to a chorus of groans.  Smiling she picked up a little sleeping girl and waited for the others to follow her in.                 After entering the ballroom again, the sleeping pup was taken by a rather happy mother. She quickly disappeared from Aricka’s sight to she assumed to get the little pup tucked into bed. 

                Aricka found Hilda in the corner of the kitchens at a small cramped desk typing away at a tablet and making notes. “Oh, I’m sorry I’ll come back when you aren’t so busy.”                “No, no, I need you here. What colour scheme do you have in mind?” Hilda smiled as she gave Aricka a hurried glance before going back to her rapid typing.                 “Colour scheme?  For what?”                 “Your office, of course.  Edith didn’t give that to me.  I need to know what your colour scheme to select a

                As fall approached it was getting darker outside earlier as each night passed.  The dream realm was always dark to some extent, but it too reflected the seasonal changes somewhat.  Many would detest this, but he embraced it.  Now, was the time he could move about peeking in on those still in the physical world and unaware of the evil so close to them.                  So, with the world getting more hostile against him, he had decided that instead of putting himself in danger by peeking at them, he now sat back in the comfort of the old cabin petting the rotting c
