Chapter 2

As Olivia steps up towards the door, she hesitates to knock. Her tail nervously shakes and her ears wildly twitch.

“So this is the Wolfram manor…” Says an oddly familiar voice. Ethan looks around, the voice breaking his thought. He swivels around, standing about 20 feet away from 2 more attendees. He smiles and waves his claws at the two of them. “Hey guys! Late to the party?” he asks, snickering a bit and tucking his large wings closer to his back as he walks towards the voice. Thick snowflakes were beginning to fall through the trees and were settling on the ground. Ethan holds out his claws and shivers. “Well this is unexpected. If this keeps up, we’ll be forced to stay inside until this lets up.”

He walks up next to the other 2, Erin Kodoku and Griffin alder, before and uses one of his wings to shield them from the snow.

“Hey Liv! Go ahead and knock. We can wait for the others inside rather than freezing out here.” He guides Erin and Griffin towards the door as Oliva knocks three times on the door while they step up beside her. The door opens in front of them with an audible Creak sound. Erin covers his ears and Griffin flinches from the shrill note. Ethan and Olivia stay perfectly still. The door finally opens, and 2 figures await them: Alexander and Emma Wolfram.

“Well it looks like a few of our guests have arrived!” says Alexander, snapping his fingers at 3 servants waiting close by. “ Would you three be so kind as to assist our guests and make them feel at home? Take their bags to their rooms while you are at it. Please, and thank you.” He turns towards them. The servants bow and say in unison “ Yes, My Lord” and begin to take their bags and coats, carrying them to separate rooms on the second level.

“I do welcome you to our manor. I am the Earl Alexander Wolfram.”
