"Mommy!" The word she had managed to say upon seeing her mother and being held so tightly. It was truly a wonderful feeling to be in your parents' embrace it was like a fortress where no one can harm in any way. She was lost in her joy that the presence of Ria was almost forgotten although, her father did not let it slide at all. Mr. Wilhelm was very astute to everyone around him and especially when it comes to her only daughter's welfare. After all, at the present times nowhere can be considered safe and no one can be fully trusted. He was not going to entrust some stranger that had appeared out of nowhere.

"I am glad that you had my daughter's good intentions but Ms. Strongheart, I cannot allow my child to be out in Central Park during night. Please understand, I am not saying you’re not trustworthy. I do not like such an event like today to happen ever again. In the morning, it could be allowed and we would accompany her."

Catherine knew how her father was quite dutiful in ensuring her safety in every scenario. The knowledge of being not found must have bruised his pride of not being able to protect her from danger. The embrace of her mother tightened but it was not suffocating or hurting her in any way. Gazing at her mother who was looking at Ria with much doubt and gratitude.

"We thank you, for returning our Catherine, but such a meeting during evening? That is uncalled for, I believe that being friends with our daughter is truly a great deed but you are not the type to be good friends with a seven year old girl. But thank you very much!"

The young Wilhelm wanted to rebel to her parents but she knew that whatever she would say will only be ignored. Although, she had to try. Ria and everyone at the park were her good friends. It would be sad not to see them again.

"Daddy, Mommy. Ria is very kind and a good friend of mine! I would like to see them again!"

Mr. Wilhelm looked at his daughter and knew the tenderness her child possessed. It was not like he was forbidding Catherine from seeing these 'friends' but during the night? Why not the day? They must understand that children such as Catherine cannot be allowed to go out without their companionship.

" Oh, she can come in the afternoon if she likes. We'll have her home before ten tomorrow, it's just there was so much to do today!" Ria said, not fazed by Mr or Mrs Wilhelm. 'Here's my number. Ring me if she's coming." Ria said, handing Mr. Wilhelm a card, and walking away.

Mr. Wilhelm took the card as he gave a curt nod to Ria who had walked away. Cat broke away as she run and embraced the woman once again. It was her way to say to take care and such. Afterwards, her mother held her hand and ushered her inside as the door was closed. They have much to talk about and the only one who can answer such questions was their only daughter. But now was not the time. There was no school tomorrow, so they will have plenty of time till then. The young girl needs to rest and to recover from anything that she had experience for tonight. A child must not be stressed out and also it seemed she was in good hands to react such a way to the woman named, Ria.

"Sweetie, why don't you take a bath first and then we will put you to sleep. Is that okay?"

Catherine gazed at her mother who spoke in such a warm and tender tone. It ails her that she might not be allowed to see her fantasy friends at Central Park. But she knew that her parents would understand that she got attached to those people. The secret must not be known, so she must find another way to persuade them without saying too much. All this thinking was giving her a headache, she is a seven year old girl and already a big secret was known to her. Stopping such a trail of notions, she smiled at her mother and nodded.

"I would love that mommy!"

Her father embraced her without warning but she knew it was an affectionate gesture. She did made them worry and being out for so long in a city at night was dangerous. But, she was alright and was not back at her home with doting parents.

Ria sadly walked away, after Cat's embrace. She knew that there was more of a chance that Cat wouldn't be allowed back than there was that she would. Bfore she knew it, she had reached Central Park. Everyone gathered around her, questioning her. "She mightn't be coming back." Ria said clearly, and sadly. Naomi stared open-mouthed at Ria. "Not even with your Siren powers?" She asked, clearly upset. "No..." Ria whispered, before walking away, back under the trees, where she lay awake for hours, before finally dropping off.

Catherine had been tucked into bed as she stared at her ceiling. It appeared she was not yet inclined to sleep at the moment. Her mind was way too active for her own good. She was comfortable on where she is now, in her bedroom with her loving parents however, the thought that they would not allow her to see her friends again made her heart ache for their companionship. It was such a wonderful world full of fantasy and mystery that had captured her entirely. A resolve was made within her, she would do everything to make sure her parents would allow her to meet them again. They would understand her desire to play and meet her friends in Central Park again.

Rolling to her side as she hugged a pillow very closely to her, she could see the bookshelf that contained many volumes of encyclopedias that encompasses fact and says that creatures like Ida, Naomi, Ria, Nathan, the two funny huge creatures, and Morgan. Cat would love to see and talk with them again. A world only known to her and to them. Excitement filled her that kept her very much awake although, she knew that sleep was essential for a growing little girl like her. Closing her eyes in an attempt to be asleep, however her mind continued to think no matter what she says to stop. Sighing for the umpteenth time, her eyes started to look at all her furniture and things within the room. Hoping, it would induced boredom and makes her fall asleep.

The young Wilhelm stood from her bed and reached for a book, it had always worked with her every time when being sleepy was not conquering her. She opened the book and the pictures of mountains and different land forms were before her. It was a Geology book as she flipped through the pages and the effect was made. Her eyelids slowly closed as she fell to her slumber with the last thought of visiting her friends.

Ria lay awake, thinking of Cat. When she was sure everyone else was asleep, she walked away from them, and watched the stars for a while. Before she knew it, she too was fast asleep.
In the morning, Ria and Naomi agreed to visit the Wilhelms, and bring Naomi's little sister, saying she was her friend.
'Right, so Lucy, you introduce your self to Melissa or Reichter, whoever comes to the dorr. Say you are one of Catherine's friends. Say you will be bringing Cat out to breakfast, if they will allow. But let Cat's parents come if they wish. Ok?" Naomi instructed the little girl. She was seven, Cat's age, but she acted ten. "Yes, we've been through this seven times." Lucy sighed.
"Ria!" A voice called. Ria tuned around and saw her dad running and dragging a suitcase behind him. "Ria... I'm leaving... He panted. "LEAVING?"Ria cried, and broke into tears. "Why why why?" she sobbed, hitting the wall with her hand. She hit it so hard, it crumbled. "Ria, I told you I couldn't stay here forever." Nathan tried to explain. "Well leave then." Ria snapped.

The sun gently rises announcing the dawn of a new day. Its rays travel slowly to an opened window to the room of a little girl. The room slowly lightened and you could see the beautiful peach colored walls with a mixture of light pink paint on it. The light traveled more and shone on a side table with a beautiful Victorian rose, an alarm clock and a couple of picture frames of a happy family. Slowly, the light shone upon the sprawled figure on a very beautiful princess bed with elegant rose-colored curtains hanging both on its sides. The figure slowly opened her eyes and met the sun’s rays with her sleepy brown orbs as it gazed at the clock beside her.

“Morning…”

Catherine leisurely sat up on her comfy bed and looked at the opened book on her lap. A smile was on her lips as she would persuade her parents to let her meet Ria and the others again. She stretched her muscles and released a sleepy yawn. The young girl had a very wonderful slumber; she was well-rested in every way. A knock was heard on her door and the familiar voice of her mother was heard.

"Sweetie, breakfast!"

She stood up and stretched her arms once again as she smiled and replied, "I'm coming mommy!"

Entering her bathroom as she would prepare herself for the day and to compose her thoughts, so she would be able to convince her parents. It was important for her to meet her mythical friends once again. The fantasy and mystery really lured her in and she would be heartbroken if she could not at least say goodbye properly to everyone. However, she did promise to keep their existence as a secret and she would abide to it until she dies. After finishing her morning rituals, she went downstairs and to the dining room to see her parents waiting for her with a smile.

"Good morning Mommy! Daddy!"

After Nathan had left, Ria dried her tears. "Right then, Lucy, Plan A." She smiled at the younger girl who had held her hand through her father's exit. "Right, so I go up, knock on the door, and ask if Catherine can come out for breakfast." Lucy said confiedently. "But don't forget to introduce yourself, and explain you're one of Cat's friends." Naomi reminded her. "Ok, right." Lucy said, running up to the door and rapping the knocker.

Catherine sat down on her chair and knew the interrogation would start once her parents are ready to ask. But before anything can be said, a knock was heard on the door. They all look at the direction of the front door and silence reign in all of them for a few seconds. A sigh came from her father who stood from his seat as he placed down the newspaper on the table and went to the front door. The young Wilhelm was curious on who would be visiting them so early in the morning; there was not even the slightest idea on her mind on which the person could be. The two ladies of the Wilhelm family heard the door opened.

"Yes? How may I help you?--"

Reichter looked around in his eyes level. He raised an eyebrow for he cannot see anyone. Sighing, for it must be a prank by some people who got nothing better to do than irritate others. Turning to enter the house, his eyes caught a sight of something below his eyesight. Taking a good look, he noticed a child who seemed to be no older than his own daughter. Immediately turning to face the girl and wonder what such a little girl was doing at his front door alone.

"Uhm, hello there young one, who are you? And how may i help you?"

Curiosity filled him as he was quite frustrated towards the child's parents. Leaving such a little girl alone, he looked around to see if anyone was watching the girl from afar. After all, who can be heartless to leave a child defenseless and in broad daylight. Sometimes human nature truly annoys him at times. He gazed at the girl as he awaits for her reply and it would be rude to not invite her inside where she can be safe.

"Hello, my name is Lucy Braveheart. My sister isn't too far away, but she's gone shopping, so she'll be back in a minute. I met Catherine last night, and I was wondering if she could come out for breakfast." Lucy said politely. Naomi and Ria were stifling giggles in a bush. Lucy was smiling politely, but her wings were folded tightly behind her back, like she was tense. "You may come if you please." Lucy smiled, trying to charm Reichter."

Reichter gazed at the young girl with much warmth. He did not want to scare her in any way. Listening, to what Lucy as she introduced herself, is a friend of his daughter. There would be no problem letting her in as of now. He stepped further on the side to give enough space for the girl to enter. It would be terrible to close the door to such a child and he did not want any dispute towards this sister who was not far away. Still, as an adult that older sibling could have waited until she was sure that Lucy had entered the home of her friend.

"Oh, please come in! I will tell Catherine about you."

He said with a bright smile as he waited for the girl to enter so he can close the door. The offer of having the two friends eat breakfast was something he cannot decide by himself. Considering what had happened last night, there would be no repeats of such that was his promise. But, he could compromise by coming to the breakfast or his wife could. After all, he needs to go to work. Gazing at the direction of the kitchen, he spoke in a loud voice so, his daughter can hear him well enough.

"Catherine! You have a visitor, a friend of yours!"

Cat was drinking her milk as she stood from her seat and was excited of having a visitor. She had thought it was some salesman but when she heard her father's voice about a friend of hers. The only thing that entered her mind was the ones she knew at the secret world at central park. Wiping her mouth, she went to the front door and instead of Ria, Naomi and the others. She only saw a girl that was the same age as her. Not sure, if she had met the girl so, she would tell her father about the truth.

"Hello Catherine!" Lucy said happily as she stepped through the door. She did recognise Catherine, for she had sat beside Naomi, and though she had stayed silent, she had indeed seen her. When Cat looked doubtful, she let a feather show to Cat, showing her that she was from Central Park. She was careful however, to not let Reichter see.

"Daddy, I do--"

The young Wilhelm was about to say to her father that the girl was not someone familiar to her. However, a sight of feather from the girl's back changed her mind. Lucy is connected to the creatures she had met and would not want to reject such a visit. She was enthralled to know more about these mysterious creatures and would love to know more. The girl intrigued her further because she looked as the same age as her. But, it had been proven to her that fantasy creatures like her had no qualms of getting old because it has no consequences upon them.

Reichter noticed her daughter stopping in mid-sentence. It made him worry if there was something wrong. Was the girl named Lucy not a friend? or Was there a bad event between them? He was not sure of what was happening as he gazed at his child and then to other. Sighing, he decided to ask so he would not be confused anymore. There was still a lot of question in his head and somehow there was the need to have all the answers. The only one who can was Catherine and possibly Lucy. However, he was not the type to force anyone to speak without their own volition. But, he wanted what his child wanted to say.

"Sweetie, what is it?"

His eyes locked into Catherine. She instantly knew she cannot lie but had to find a way around it and try to lie. It was the only plausible solution. Taking a deep breath, she held Lucy's hand and smiled so brightly. Convincing her father is difficult, but she must do so without revealing anything forbidden. Cat was not going to fail at all cost.

"Uhm... I wanted to say, I do know her and she is my best friend! So can I go have breakfast with her? You can come! They are fine with it!"

(Try PMing the others because I really don't want this to die, as this is the only real active roleplay I'm in.)
Lucy smiled as Catherine begged her dad to let her go. Her smile faltered a bit when Cat said her parents could come. Never mind, she thought.
Meanwhile, outside in the bush, Naomi and Ria were doing their best to see what was going on without much success. "Wait, give me a boost," Naomi said, "wait, no, I'll go in and say I'm Lucy's sister."
Naomi went up to the door and rapped it quickly.
