((Ok, kinda long, but this is from an RP post from another site I'm on... it's supposed to be a flashback.))
Stratus raced home, carrying a basket filled to the top with vegetables from the local farmer's market. The small cabin she shared with her mother stood with its door open, letting tendrils of aromatic steam float into the air. "Mom, I'm home!" she called, dumping the basket on the chair next to the table. Stratus took a deep breath, letting the scents of the herbs that hung on the wall drying, the dirt of the vegetables, and just everything fill her lungs. She trotted into the small room where her mother was at work, boiling some concoction.
"Welcome home dear," her mother turned and smiled, "How was the market?"
"It was good, I got a lot of stuff, what are you making?" Stratus looked into the pot simmering on the stove.
"Cough medicine, Mrs. Callahagn's cold is acting up again," Cailyn told her.
"Can I help?" Stratus asked, "PLEASE???"
"Alright, but mark my words Guinevere Stratus Terran, if you break anything, you'll be sorry," Cailyn's tone was serious, but her eyes were glittering with amusement. Stratus stood next to her mother, "Guin, get me some of the chamomile will you?" Stratus went to the cabinet and grabbed some. Cailyn looked up, "Oh, I've just heard, your Da's coming for a visit."
"He is?" Stratus handed her mother the herb. She always got excited when the mysterious silver-haired young man that was her father came.
Later that night, Stratus and her mother sat around the fire. Stratus closed her eyes, listening to Cailyn sing songs from her old home in Ireland. Cailyn stopped, "You know Guin, we should go to Ireland sometime, it would be good for you to get aquianted with your roots."
"Yeah, d'you know when Da said he'd be in?" Stratus asked.
"Should be any minute now," Cailyn glanced at the clock on the mantle. Stratus heard footsteps coming from the back door. Someone knocked right after.
"Maybe that's him now," Cailyn got up, "Stay here Guin, I don't need you to run around in circles all the time. Stratus nodded and focused her ears to the back of the cabin. Then, a gun went off loudly in Stratus's keen ears. She sneaked to the doorway and peered around it cautiously. Men from the village were standing over Cailyn. Stratus watched as her mother's blood pooled on the clean floor. On of the men picked Cailyn up, "Sorry ma'am, but we got a little problem. Ya see, we heard rumor that you were harboring a werewolf, and we were ordered to exterminate it. The man dropped her and began searching. "Come out, come out wherever you are... you little monster." Stratus scooted back behind the doorframe, how did they find out about her shifting abilities? she had never shown anyone, much less shifted in public. Footsteps reseded, it sounded like they were going upstairs. Stratus crept out of her hiding spot over to her mother.
"Mom, Mom, get up, we have to go." she whispered, yanking at her mother's arm.
"No, you go, they'll be back down, run Guin. Run like the source of all evil was behind you," Cailyn struggled to speak. Stratus listend hard, it sounded like the men were coming back down. She looked back at her mother and dashed out the open back door into the woods. She watched the house get farther and farther away as she ran deeper into the woods. A gunshot missed her head and hit a tree next to her, "We'll get you little monster!" The men were in pursuit and Stratus picked up the pace, only to trip and fall over an exposed root. She shifted, searching for a place to hide.
