Miles awoke suddenly - the image of the giant wolf burned into his mind, the pain of the dream when it bit his shoulder fading rapidly - yet his shoulder ached. He raised a hand to it, felt no blood, glanced down to see that it was perfectly fine. What the hell was he thinking about? Of course it was fine, it was just a damnable dream! He wiped his face and groaned, checking the time to find it was pretty much right when he'd normally wake up - so up he went, letting the dream fade into the background as he went about his morning routine.

"
Mornin' bro...
" Came a sleepy voice from the kitchen doorway, light slaps of footfall stepping onto the tiles.
"
Morning. Bacon?
" Miles didn't even turn around, merely continuing to work on cooking up breakfast as the sound of a chair getting dragged across the floor was heard.
"
Mmph...
" Came the response, which he knew to take as a ' yes please you're the best brother', which of course he was she'd just never say it this early. Luckily he was almost finished and soon served up a hearty meal of bacon and eggs, sliding two plates onto the table before taking the remaining chair. Miles took a bite before glancing up, spotting the half-dead face of his younger sister Nisha wolfing down the meal, already splattering egg on her cheek without notice.
She was not a morning person.
Still, as they ate she gradually perked up more and more - until eventually as her utensils hit the plate again her eyes were nearly half open. She looked across at him.
"
You gonna be home later?
"
"
Should be, depends if I get a call or not - why?
"
She shrugged. "
Was gonna invite Ty and Halle over after school, wanted to know if you'd be home to cook or if we'd order out.
"
He shrugged back. "
If I'm not here when you get home, call me - I can tell you then.
" A noncommital grunt from his sister was his only reply, as she got up and went to leave.
"
Sink.
"
She turned back to grab her plate and
I am Inferi.
