Snippet #1910616

Dawn blinked slowly as the two boys Angel and Damon approached. "Marbles? I love marbles! Where are they?" She asked, her smile bright as she looked up at them before glancing at everyone else. "Does anyone want to play?" She asked, completely clueless to the expression. She uncurled herself from the couch, trying not to take up so much space as she patted the empty spots next to her. "Come sit and join the party! We don't bite, at least I hope no one does." She said with a tiny chuckle before she looked over at Damon and Angel with a tiny pout. She wished she had older siblings..

Oh wait, she did.

And they left her with her parents.

Her face darkened slightly as she clutched the pillows tight in her hands, her nails slightly tearing the fabric before suddenly, her face went blank as fast as her expression darkened, almost like a switch had been turned on. Wait, I already got to them.. "Nevermind!" She called out, mainly speaking to herself with a smile on her face once more. She criss crossed her legs, placing the slightly abused pillow in her lap as she blew her bangs back into place.

For a moment, Dawn silently took in everyone, her mind forming opinions about them. It seemed like everyone was pretty nice, but she wasn't as stupid as she acted to be. She knew everyone had to be there for a reason, the real questions were 'What?' and 'Why?'. That's where things would get interesting considering what she had done at her age. She gave a tiny smirk, Seven years bad luck. Dawn thought, her own little private joke before she began to focus on the people around her. She tilted her head in wonder as she watched everyone interact around her, they all seemed normal which made the guessing game in her head a bit more fun.

"So, who's up for marbles?"
