Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cynthia-Ann worked hard to put all of the tablecloths on the wooden tables and arrange the silverware and polish the good china and glasses for the next couple of hours, wondering if Lia had gotten the mess cleaned up before Harris found out about it. He had become a real neat freak lately.
"When you're done, Cynthia, can you please make sure the bathrooms are cleaned up and the good soaps are at the sinks?" Ann called from the part of the Inn where they lived. Sounds of both sinks going and the ovens on full-blast could be heard loud and clear all the way upstairs in the farthest room. The Feast-of-Spring had become a yearly tradition apparently since Nadin was born. When he was a mere drooling infant, Ann was looking for something to do and found less people were coming to the Inn. So one day she fired up all the ovens and fed the entire town, at least those who decided to come. This feast just happened to be held in Spring so the date stuck.

Nadindel finished cleaning the mess, when he looked around he reaslised Lia had gone off somewhere 'must have gone inside to bake the bread' as he finished cleaning the mess he looked around and threw away the glass, cans and all the other junk away and went inside and washed his hands.

Cynthia wondered what Gotz was talking about when he shook his head and popped back into glaring at Cynthia. "Lia is ghost watching?" Cynthia nodded and Gotz sighed. "Normally I would take yu back to your parents and suggest they ground you for a month but since Lia is out there..go ahead. But yell if you fall or anything." Gotz headed back into his cabin and slammed the door. Cynthia ran the ret of the way through the dark to Mother's Hill, unaware of the fact that Gotz was galloping to the Inn to tell her parents.

Cynthia-Ann reached Lia at the top of Mother's Hill, staring at the stars and timidly twitching her head back and forth.
"You get your butt home now, Lia!" Cynthia grabbed her little sister by the arm. "Mom needed you to bake bread an hour ago and now the whole feast is ruined because of you! I hope you're happy!" Right at that moment, out of the corner of her eye, Cynthia could swear she saw the flutter of a white skirt to her right. Turning her head, Cynthia's blood ran cold and she instinctivly put her hands over Lia's eyes. There, right in front of her eyes, stood a woman with blue hair, white skin, and a white glow around her. She wasn't entirely visable, a few parts of her face and around the rest of her body blended in with the surrounding night sky. Cynthia had been in Gotz's cottage tons of times and had seen a photo of him standing beside his wife with a baby beside them. This was the woman in the photo.

Lia stared at the empty air for a moment then fell to the ground her eyes not seeing anything, not really being able to hear anything. quietly she said"i already made the bread. it's on the counter." then she pretty much fainted.

Cynthia stayed for a moment, staring at Erik. "YOU LEFT THE LENS CAP ON!!!!!!!!!!!!" She bellowed, her voice surprisingly strong concidering she was mere feet away from a real ghost. "I suggest you get off this mountain before Gotz finds you. He nearly ripped me apart and took me to my parents when he saw me." Cynthia quickly ran to the Inn just in time to see Ann smothering Lia in kisses and hugs and Cliff lecturing her about being out late at night. The sentence? Grounded. Cynthia watched Lia trudge to her room then told her parents what she saw on the mountain, and what Erik failed to get on tape.
"For lying, young lady, and for being out at this time of night, you are grounded as well." Ann looked disappointed while Cliff seemed smug.
"Now go to your room and think about the feast you have ruined. A fine tradition, spoiled because of you and your silly sister's ghost hunting."

Moments late Erik shuffled into the Inn...he was very pale and his pupils were small. He held the video camera in his hand with white knuckles. "I saw....What it saw...I felt what it felt..." He collapsed on the floor. The tape began to play in the camera but only the audio had been captured. "...go...got...gotz...." an errie woman's voice was just barley audible, it was an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon). Ellie and the Doctor showed up and took Erik home to rest but forgot to take his camera as well.
