Bored as always Chie needed something with a little more flare to add to her day. As soon as the club opened in the evening She was there asking the manager if she could plug in her amp and play on the side.
It was fun, people were screaming requests at her before the night was done. It had been so long since she could play so freely.

Teneka had wandered in timid as always and stood in the back, watching this girl play. A wolf...wolves were so graceful, she thought as she listened to the tune. She had her guitar with her as well but was much to shy to play here, instead, she decided to entertain on the street with her family, catching the other girl's eye as she left.
On the street the carts were set up just as they would have been in old france, painted and figures jingling with bells and bright colors. Her mother was already dancing, she plugged her amp into their genorator and began playing along to her mother's steps. A small crowd gathered tossing money into her case and the hat near her mother's feet, even the few people trickling for the club for bed stopped to watch as they played on into the night.

It had been a long night, Chie was tired. Many late stayers waved to her as she went to put her guitar away. "No way, who did this?" She asked the closest person when she saw loose change all in the bottom of the case. Then she saw the note that read: "For your drinks" There was no name on it, but she appreciated it none the less.
The life was dying down as she walked out onto the street. But there was still a small crowd around the girl she saw earlier. The music was sweet as the night air. Chie wished she could play with her, but settled for watching from the side untill she finished her next song. "you play beautifully, My name's Chieyumi. Chie for short." She smiled at the young girl.

"Um, thanks," she said and stood up to shake her hand, "You too, my name's Teneka." She looked at her family bustling around and crowding their things back into the cart. Her mother's colorful, floor-length, hand-made skirt brushing the ground and twirling every time she turned around. She then glanced up at the night sky, when a fat beared man in a colorful vest wandered over,
"Teneka dear, who's this? A new friend?" his deep friendly voice bellowed as his tiny green eyes looked her up and down from over his black beard and moustach , "A musician I see? Wonderful, wonderful, it's nice to see a fellow lover of the aart, well better get back eh?" he chuckled heartily, "Lot's to do, lots to do," and and waddled off to brush care for the horses at the front. Teneka giggled a bit,
"My uncle, that's uncle Gregory, but we just call him Finny, don't ask why." And she paused to make sure the other girl was not put off by her too-friendly uncle.

Chie couldn't hold it in, it started as a chuckle and built until she was hunched over from laughing. "You have a very nice family, nice to meet you Teneka," Stading she wiped away a tear, "Wish I had a family like that." Remembering what little she could of her real family made the tear in her heart hurt anew. But she smiled anyway. "So are you heading off as well?"

"Well, most of us aren't really related, but yeah, I guess you could call us a family" She smiled at them, laughing as well, "I suppose we are, I'm sure thy wouldn't mind if you joined us." She glanced over again to see her mother smiling her beautiful, charming smile at the two of them. Teneka held up a finger and turned back to Chie, "Actually we're going to be camping out just inside the forest if you want to join us for dinner. We'd love to hear you play...if you don't mind running off a generator," she chuckled.
"Miss Tini, Miss Tini!! Finny says it's fish or chicken! Left the choice to you tonight, he says there's still lotsa cabbage too, c'mon we're waiting for you!" Rambled a tiny blonde-haired, brown-eyed girl tuggin on her skirt. Teneka bent down to be at eye level with the child, "Okay I'm coming, tell him his cabbage is only as good at the rats you mix it with!" The child wrinkled her nose and giggled skipping away. Teneka stood once again and smiled, "Last chance! You coming?"
"Teneka let's go!" called another younger girl cheerily from the wagon, "Is your friend coming?"
"See? What'd I tell you?" and Teneka took a step toward the cart, still facing Chie.

Chie stood there gaping. If she went with them, she knew fromt he first moment they would treat her like family. If she stayed with them could she have a family again? "I would love to come with you." she said with a smile as a tear ran down her cheek, "I'm sorry. I tend to be a bit emotional." She muttered sniffing a little and wiping away the first tear, then a second.

She smiled kindly and grabbed Chie's hand and pulled her toward the cart and climbed in the back with the other young members of their group. "Who you're friend Tini?" asked the little blond-haired girl.
"This is Chie, and Chie, this is Marie."
"Nuh uh," said the the girl, "I'm Mar-mar, the bestest vilolist evers!"
"That's 'violinist' Mar-mar"
"Violienist?"
Teneka chuckled, "sure," and looked back to chie, "and thats Ruby, Nessa, Chiki, and that guy sleeping in the corner is Sam. He has another name, but he won't tells us, so we just call him Sam, he doesn't seem to mind." Once wouldn't even have noticed the young man under the dull gray blankets,
"Sami doesn't like to talk, so we don't talk to him. Isn't that right Tini?" said Mar-Mar,
"No, thats not right at all, we just leave him alone until he wants to talk to us." she paused and then began again, "All the older members ride in the other cart. This is going to be great."

All in the quiet slumber of winter he dreamed. Not once, twice, a third time, the pain was too much. “You, I’ll kill you!” He screamed after the dark figure who left his parent’s bodies in a bloody puddle. But something held him, what? Chains? He fought against them, reaching out toward the figure, but it only stopped to look at him with a wicked smile before fading into darkness. His name’s Sam, We don’t talk to him… …until he wants to talk to us, The voices steady brought him to consciousness, in the dark of the carriage, lit only by a small lantern in the late winter. He pulled the blanket tighter and pretended he was still sleeping however looking at the new girl; another musician, black hair, green eyes, a wolf. He decided to eavesdrop on the rest of their conversation, wanting to know as much as he could about this new member. Just so he would know exactly who he was avoiding. He learned her name, Chieyumi; what a name. he grunted and shifted in his pretend sleep. He really didn’t like people.

Chie smiled at all the new faced. "I'll try to remember the names that go with the faces," she chuckled lightly. Glancing toward the lump under the blankets. "I guess I'll meet everyone else when we get." She couldn't stop smiling. She was excited to be amongst a large family-like group again. It made her want to cry, but she held it all back.
