Who: Simone, Mab, Dana, other fey
Where: The Dreaming
When: Sometime in the night
What: An ending and a beginning

They were running out of time. Simone had fey of all kinds scouring the Dreaming, searching for the star, the menace that had caused all of this.

Every now and again, a star fell in the Dreaming and chaos ensued. Now was such a time. It was breaking down the barriers between the Autumn world and the Dreaming, making dreams turn to reality. A wondrous gift, but given to mere humans? It became the thing nightmares were made of. The dreams in Mysteria were getting out of hand, the dragon had been proof of that. They fey gathered and tried to correct the damage, but that could only hold out for so long. Now it was time to get the star, make the wish and reverse all this.

They had been searching for only a day, but the majority of the Dreaming didn't want Mab to find the star. The UnSeelie queen had started the Wild Hunt in hopes of finding it. So far the treacherous queen had had no luck. Simone and the others meant to keep it so.

The problem was whoever found the star may abuse the power. In it was the ability to grant a wish, no matter how twisted or selfish, whether it defied nature or no. Such power could twist even the purest souls. She couldn't give them that chance, she had to find the star herself.

Simone called her power over the darkness, searched through the endless black. Maia found her that way.

"Simone! I think we've found something! The trees tell me of a crystal, please, follow me!" The nymph ushered Simone with her, going through the deep woods. Light was beginning to break across the sky. Simone's power would be useless if it did. She followed Maia as she listened to the trees, allowing them to guide her.

They stepped into the clearing where the trees had been ravaged by a force from the sky. The dawning light filtered through the crystal, shining upon them. Simone immediately stepped forward. "Maia, we've found it!" She picked it up, holding the pure light in her hands. It illuminated her and she felt it's power rush through her being.

She could have it all. Everything she's ever wanted. Her home, her family, anything. The world.

Simone closed her eyes and began to phrase her wish right. "I wish-" She began....

Who: Nora, Audrey, Dana, Ty
When: 8 am
Where: Taylor Home
What: Nora has a nightmare



"You can't do this!" Nora cried, fighting against the bonds that held her. She was tied to a pole, kneeling as Ethan twisted right in front of her, the demon that had haunted her laughing as she broke his neck inches from her.

Tears streamed down her face as the light winked out of his eyes and he collapsed to the ground, limper than a rag doll. "I hate you," she screeched, fighting the bonds even harder as the demon laughed. It wasn't a new dream, in fact it was a variation on the same nightmare she'd been having. Only this time, something changed.

The demon's lips curled into a twisted smile as the scenery changed. Instead of some torture chamber, they were at Nora and Audrey's new house. Nora looked around in shock, her bonds broken by the change in events. They were in her room, the same room where she was currently sleeping. With a knowing snicker, the demon pushed her back onto the bed.

Jolting upright, her sheets fell into a puddle on her lap, and she was panting heavily as she re-oriented herself. She was home. Ethan was alive. Everything was fine.

Only, everything was not fine. From the corner, she heard the evil chuckle that haunted her dreams. The demon was in their house! She'd found them! Jumping up out of her bed, she scrambled to leave her room, slamming the door shut behind her and leaning against it. "Mom?!" She called out, panic lacing her voice.

Who: The Kelley's & Open
Where: The Hospital
When: Morning
What: Some of the Kelley's are sleeping and Diana and the crew go to visit


This was all too much. How much could you take before you broke? Aside from Aurora and the M&M's, her children were sleeping. Not dead, not comatose. Just deeply asleep and not waking up. Her eldest and the middle two. And of course, Derek. She didn't know what to do about Derek. He had started to explain how he knew such things, that he had been an angel of wrath before meeting Diana and fallen for some reason.

She sat at the end of his hospital bed and talked to him. About everything. How angry she was. How she needed him. How she never slept without him anymore. It was probably what saved her from leaving her children too.

"Mom?" Aurora queried tentatively, knocking on the door. She held the twins' hands and smiled at Diana. "You okay?"

"Just fine sweetheart." She stood up and walked down the hall when she saw a familiar face. "Hey you," She smiled, "What are you in for?"

Who: All the fey
When: 9am, after the fires have been put out
Where: Abandoned building outside of the mound
What: A call to arms

Simone had called this meeting. Gathered all the fey she could find that was hiding in Mysteria and brought them there. Sides and standing didn't matter. They had a larger problem at hand. Such things didn't matter now.

The Wild Hunt had begun. She would bet her life that the queen was looking for the star. The fallen star in the Dreaming that had caused all of this. Now humans were getting trapped in a dream state and the only city near the Mound was burning. They had to stop it. She silenced the squabbling with a whistle.

"That is enough. Don't you see what's happening here? The Dreaming is in chaos. The mortal world is slowly falling into ruin as well. The Wild Hunt has began, and we all know what that means. The Wyldefae will be forced to choose or die, and god knows what will happen if the queen gets her hands on the star. We have to take action, and we have to do it now." Her voice was strong and authoritative, the kind of voice that made the others really listen, want the change. "We go into the Dreaming. We find the star. We stop this madness."

"But how will we find it?" A brownie asked meekly, as if afraid of Simone's wrath.

"We work together of course. Pool all of our resources, feuds and squabbles aside. The first one to find it? You will wish for things to return to their rightful state. This is too important not to. We're talking about the Dreaming itself, life as we all know it. We don't have time or chances for anything else. This is it. Now. Who's in?"

Who: Audrey, Dana & Nora
Where: Various places around Mysteria
When: 6pm
What: House Hunting!


Audrey grabbed the list and called up the stairs, "Guys, you coming? I'm not getting any younger you know!" She was teasing of course. Audrey was usually the one running late anyway. This time she was in a hurry in case the home owners left. She wanted to see the inside of a few places before she and Nora settled on one. She wolf whistled and called, "Guuuuys! Hurry, I wanna see!"

Who: Sophia & OPEN
Where: The streets of Mysteria
When: 9am
What: Seeing what kind of trouble a werewolf can get into when left to her own devices...


Sophia finishing up her story, mulling over what she and Nadia had talked about. The time in South America would be great for her career, getting her back on the map. Ever since Seth had moved back to New York she'd been feeling a bit down on herself.

Sophia was so immersed in her thoughts, she didn't even notice that she had bumped into someone. "Sorry," She smiled at the person, "One of those days, you know?"

Who: Simone & OTA
Where: Streets of Mysteria
When: 6pm
What: Simone just needs some air to sort her head out


Simone walked, looking past the little shops with things she could no longer afford. She was cut off, both financially and from anything and everyone she knew. She had never been more miserable in her life. She was hunted, her life had been turned upside and everything she had ever known was now just a memory for her. She could never go back to the UnSeelie court, and probably never see her family again. The queen had a long memory that no longer favored her.

It was darkening. Good. Simone liked the dark. She felt safe in it, protected. It was where her power lie, in wait for the moon to rise and the dark to fall. She continued to pass through the streets, looking but not seeing.

Who: Audrey & Dana
When: Noon
Where: Dana's house
What: Moving in

---

"So this is the last of it," Audrey told the Dana as the movers got Nora's boxes into the house, "I can't thank you enough for this. Taking in a couple of wayward angels? You're a lifesaver and you know it."

She noticed one of the movers checking Dana out and nudged her friend. "He's cute," She said, smiling and waving at the mover, looking into his heart, "But sadly, greedy too."
