(Just a quick heads-up, I won't be posting on the weekends. Every weekend in the summer I go camping with my parents and there's no internet up there, although that may change depending on how quickly they finish setting up the new internet cafe there.)

Me and Kasey walked around the fountain for a bit, trying to think of something to do. "We should visit the fortune teller!" I suggested.
"Anna, none of that stuff is real. There basically just ripping you off." Kasey huffed.
"Please Kasey. It seems like it will be fun! Just think what if it actually comes true!" I begged.
"Fine." she finally gave in, as she smiled down at me. When we entered the tent, we saw the two boys who were swimming in the fountain there.
Kasey glared at them, what was wrong with her. Normally she was friendly around every one and here she just act as if they were some mass murder.
"Are you okay Kasey." I whispered as she looked down at me.
"Yeah just fine." she mumbled as she looked away.
"Why don't we let Peeta claim it, since he died today?"-Finnick (Catching Fire) "We may be friends and all, but if were being chased by crazy flesh eating zombies. I won't lie. . .I'll trip you."~ Me after watching the hills have eyes.
She saw the red curtain she used as the doorway being pushed open followed by two men. One certainly seemed younger, his brown shaggy hair messed probably from being tossed in the wind. He pulled the goggles from his eyes and lowered them so they hung around his neck so that he could get a closer look. The other, moderately tall, had dark spikey hair and he wore no shirt. He seemed unphased by being inside, so his sunglasses stayed on.
The younger seemed to be interest in the items I left out front from the exact reason. He examined the Phrenology head I had on display along with the palmistry posters that hung there too displaying what the different lines on the hands meant. Certainly, both practices were unbearably fake, but it was the customers belief that got the money in her wallet, not hers.
Domine got up from her perch and stepped forward into the dim lit. She always kept the light in her shack like this so that the atmosphere would not be ruined for the arrivals. That was the same with the incense of lilacs she always burnt. As soon as the younger one saw her, he stepped back in alarm, the other lowered his sunglasses almost at once.
"Hello there." He smiled at Domine and at once she new he thought highly of himself. "My name is Irik, and this here is my brother Jaden." His teeth were oddly perfectly white and straight, an aspect that she found oddly unnerving.
"Well, Irik and Jaden, I would like to welcome you to my humble abode." Domine gestured to the room around her, the bracelets on her wrists jingling lightly. "My name is Cat, and it would be my pleasure to ask if you would like your fortunes read, or are you interested in one of my merchandise?" She looked at them through her eyelashes, watching them carefully.
But before they could answer, the red curtain was shifted again and to Domine's mild surprise two more people came in. Both of them certainly were feminine and as soon as one saw the two boys she almost stepped back in alarm. Domine could help but perk her eyebrow and let a small mischievious grin slip across her face. Obviously, it seemed these four had relations.
"Hello there, would I be able to help you?" Domine asked, drawing both the boys attention to the two girls standing there. It was at this moment that she noticed the bright tattoo that outlined on Irik's back.

Sorry it took me so long to post. xD
And Dynamo, I know they aren't actually brothers, I just thought they might just say that because they think of each other as brothers.

Don't worry about it, as long as it doesn't become a habit it's fine. And you guessed right, they both refer to each other as brothers. I just got back from my camping trip with my family, (Victoria Day weekend) so I'm going to post later tonight. If not, then tomorrow.)

The tattoo was of a flaming eagle. She remembered it from many years ago, but couldn't quite put her finger on where she had seen it. She decided to ignore it, for now.
"Well, we came here to get our fortunes told," Jaden pointed out.
"So did we," Kasey said.
"In that case, why don't you take your turn first?" Irik asked. "A pretty thing like you deserves to go first."
(Let's see how Kasey reacts to that comment. I'm hoping she'll be offended.)

At first I was caught off guard. . .he thought I was pretty? I blushed for a second, before I saw his mocking grin. I felt my face heating up even more from anger.
"Listen punk. I may seem nice and innocent, but I'll whop your butt in a second!" I growled.
"Kasey. . ." Anna pleaded quietly for me to stop.
"Really?" the boy with the tattoo asked as he cocked his eyebrow.
"Jerk." I muttered under my breathe.
He chuckled at my anger, and I couldn't help but to jump at him. He was caught off guard at first so I got a free punch to his eye. I could hear Anna's quiet squeak of surprise. And the fortune teller, and the other boy startled gasp.
"Why don't we let Peeta claim it, since he died today?"-Finnick (Catching Fire) "We may be friends and all, but if were being chased by crazy flesh eating zombies. I won't lie. . .I'll trip you."~ Me after watching the hills have eyes.
The punch knocked Irik back, making him bump into the table. He rubbed the spot where she had hit him and said, "I take it back, you're not pretty at all. In fact, I wouldn't be caught dead hanging around someone as ugly as you!"
"Right back at you, Weed Head!" Kasey retorted.
Irik frowned harder. "Weed Head? Who you calling Weed Head!?" He started to move, but Jaden caught him by the arm and held him back.
"Don't make things worse, Brother. It's not worth it!" Jaden said as he held his brother back with all his might.
Kasey smiled and said, "Listen to the little guy, Weed Head."
Anna tugged on Kasey's shirt and said, "Please stop it."
Kasey sighed. "Fine, we don't need our stinking fortunes read anyway," she said. As she turned to leave with Anna she looked over her shoulder at the still fuming Irik. "See ya later, Weed Head."
"That's it! Let me at her, Jaden!" Irik shouted.
Jaden shook his head. "Just stop it, Irik. You're going to get us into trouble again!" Irik kept thrashing about, but ran out of steam a few moments later. When he was sure his brother wouldn't run off to do something they'd both regret, Jaden released his arm. He then turned to the fortune teller and said, "Sorry about that. Can we still have our fortunes read?"
(I kinda wanted Irik and Jaden to have their fortunes read alone anyway, that way the next time they reach for their wallets to find them empty they can start running around in a panic and everyone will stare at them.)

She looked at the girls leave, watching them miserably. There goes to perfectly good customers, Domine thought watching the red curtain seem to swing closed. And then, the impudent boy turned back to her and asked if they could still have their fortune read! The morons. She felt a small smile creep across her face. She would milk them for every single penny they had before they left here, even if that meant taking the problem into her own hands.
Turning around, she walked towards her table, her hips swaying lightly. She took a small glimpse at them over her shoulder.
"Of course. Come, sit down." Her tone was light, trying to get a formulated mysterious air to her words. She got to the other side of the purple clothed table and sat on her jeweled chair. Actually the jewels were just fake things, but nobody would notice that kind of thing. The two boys, as if drawn on a leash came and sat down at the table. "What do you wish to know about? Fortune? Important events? Maybe even love?"
She looked at them through her eyelashes, letting the lilac inscene gather in the room to fog their senses.

Irik smiled and said, "That's easy, I want to see how famous We're going to be in the future."
Domine smirked and said, "Very well, I'll need to borrow an item from each of you."
Jaden and Irik glanced at each other for a moment, then shrugged their shoulders. Jaden handed over his goggles while Irik gave her his sunglasses. "You'd better not lose them," he told her. "Those glasses were my father's it's all I have left of him."
Again, Domine felt a strange sense of deja vu. Just like his tattoo, she remembered the glasses from somewhere. That's when she remembered where she had seen both, on a man who visited the village when she was a kid. He had started such an uproar with the entire town that they had to kick him out. Could this kick be his son?
She dismissed the thought and simply focused on the task at hand. "Let us begin."

"Stupid weed head!" Kasey roared as we got home to our abandon apartment.
"Kasey, please calm down." I pleaded trying to make her stop throwing, the few items we owned.
"Ugh! That guy was such a jerk, who is he calling ugly?!" she screamed as she threw a vase against the wall and it shattered into a million pieces.
"Kasey, please calm down or else well have nothing left." I pleaded.
"Ugh. . .I'm sorry Anna." she mumbled as she went off to a different room.
"Why don't we let Peeta claim it, since he died today?"-Finnick (Catching Fire) "We may be friends and all, but if were being chased by crazy flesh eating zombies. I won't lie. . .I'll trip you."~ Me after watching the hills have eyes.
(We'll see how the story plays out. Before anyone brings you in, I'd like you to show us what a regular day in your character's life is like to help introduce her. Chinchillagirl, could you bring her in after that?)

Hey arya Kasey and Anna could be your best friends! And remind me in your post to add you in my next one!

History: her family was killed by soldiers in a raid. her back then 17year old beautiful sister was taken by the soldiers. Rebecca doesn't know what became of her. If she is dead or alive, although she strongly believes she is alive. Back then she was 15.

I turned around in bed and sighed. I hated mornings.
I dragged myself out of bed. My sister always had said that it was all that partying. Now, I actually agreed with that statement. My problem was that a soon as I saw a good crowd, I joined in with the dancing. Not the drinking. I never drank.
When I was washed and dressed, I went to the market, to buy some fruits. My sister had always done that.
I shook my head, as if I wanted to forget. But inside I knew I didn't.
When I got home,(are we living in tents or houses or what?) I sat down and stared at nothing for I while.
Again I shook my head.
Anna and Kasey would be over soon, and Id better not show them, that I was thinking back again. they would say it had been years ago and I should move on as they had, but I knew that inside neither had they.
