Space Skunks

So, I deleted my last post because NO ONE understood what I was trying to convey with it, and I am now reposting just the important stuff, so that hopefully someone will understand me this time... And here we go!


-Emma's memory of the night she got separated from her parents and Angel.

I had originally planned on having her relive that night in a dream, either shortly after Hiroshi tells her what happened or sometime before the war, (which would give Eclipse another reason to worry because she's acting weird) But now I am not so sure. Then I thought, maybe while Hiroshi is explaining what happened that night, that Emma could have a flashback and remember bits and pieces of what happened. You know the noise, the flashing lights, being found, stuff like that. Which might be interesting, maybe I'll have her pass out or something.... Then it was brought to my attention that there is a third option. Perhaps through the use of a spell or talisman or something I could have Emma relive that night through Hiroshi's memories of it. Which would also be quite cool to write, but I'm worried that doing it that way might be major rip off of Harry Potter. So..... I don't know what to do.

Anyway, This was the only actually important thing that was in my last post. Comments, Opinions and Concerns would be great! ...Thank you!

David and Cassandra

Alrite. So this post is about Emma's mother and her husband. I think it's about time I told you about them and gave them names and stuff, don't you? lol

Cassandra, Emma's adoptive mother, is a nurse. She adopted Emma shortly after she was found, (I'm thinking maybe a month or two after.) and it was just the two of them until Emma turned nine and her mother married David, who is a building contractor. Two years after that Cassandra was diagnoised with cancer. After a year and a half she beat it into remission and was healthy for nearly two years before it came back with avengence and eventually killed her. (The timeline, from diagnoisis to death will be about four years. So Emma would be roughly 15.) Emma takes her mother's death very hard. And to make matters worse David refuses to accept the fact that Cassandra's gone and that he couldn't have done anything to help her, and decides to start blaming Emma for everything and generally making her life hell. And sadly Cassandra was an only child, so Emma has no other place to go.

Possible last names: Akhurst, Williams, Thomas, Umm.... -Hunts down List of Australian Sur-Names-
