Annaline came off of the plane at about 11:11 pm Santa Carlos time. But she was now in Forever. So it was 2:11 or 2:12 pm.

ANNALINE FOREVER. A sign said. She was expected here. Of course she was expected. And of course her ex's kept calling her. 'I need to get a new phone.' she thought silently. And silently she walked towards the sign. Her luggage had arrived here yesterday for them. And Thursday in Santa Carlos. Boy was she jet lagged. Many of you are wondering where Santa Carlos is, am I right or what. Well, it is in the small country of Langley Island. It's not even on the map. The same as Forever, where she was. Forever was northern. But it was still in Langley. So it is only a two day journey.

"Are you Annaline Forever?" asked a woman with black/blue hair asked. Annaline just nodded. Silently they walked across the airport towards the car. It was a Ferrari. A baby blue Ferrari at that. Annaline felt very nerves'. People were watching. It felt very weird here. For some reason, Forever felt safe.

Much to the woman's dismay, it was very quiet. She very quietly studied Annaline: She was super skinny, and maybe around 5'7". She had a heart-shaped face with the biggest blue eyes anyone has ever seen. She had brunette hair with highlights in it. Her face was clear and the only thing wrong with her were the tattoos she had. One was of a golden snake wrapped around a dagger and it was from her arm to her elbow. The other was on her collar bone. It was another golden one, but it was just of a small flower. The last (visible) one was on her neck on the left side. It wasn't gold, but it was a blue and black half moon and a sun. It was small, but certainly weird. To break the silence, the woman simply asked "Do you have any other tattoos?"

"Yes. Three others. I will show you two of them soon. But not now. The first one is a golden snake wrapped around my stomach. See?" Annaline asked very proud of herself and pointed, "This is the first anyone has ever been interested in them. Not even my boyfriends were interested. They only said that they were cool and made me look sexy. But I loved them and told the walls the stories behind them. Do you want to hear?" The lady nodded.

"Well. The one on my neck is quite a story. The golden flower is a weird tale. And then the snake on my arm has a really gruesome story to it. And then the one on my stomach is just a silly wife's tale. I-"

"We are here. You can show me the rest of the tattoos and tell the family the story. I have a son, a daughter, and a dog. I am Ms. Lighthead. Or you can just call me Mary. So come in." Mary said. Annaline gasped audibly because she was scared to see the family.

"OK." Annaline replied and walked up the steps to the front door with Mary.

"The girl will adore you. I am sure the boy will treat you like he does with his sister-ignoring her and hopefully you completely. My daughters name is Erin. My sons name is Blake. Now come on. Lets get in." she told Annaline.

`When she opened the door, a girl looks up and yells "OH MY GOD! IT'S ACTUALLY YOU. I AM SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU! I'M ERIN! YOU MUST BE ANNA... What in the world." Erin starts out happily but then she glances down and sees Annaline's arm.

"They are tattoos. I have six of them. I would really appreciate it if you don't stare. I know this may scare you, but my uncle did them. I can tell you what they mean." Annaline says stretching her arms showing off her tattoo on her stomach right when Blake walks in glancing at her stomach just in time to see it.

"What the -" Blake started to say, but he's not with his friends and he just stopped and stared at her. "What was on your stomach?"

"That's one of her tattoos. Don't stare. She has five more. Can you show me the others? If you want to. Oh and tell us the stories behind them?" Merry asked.

"Sure. Can I take off my boots?" and with that simple comment, everyone glanced at what she was wearing: A simple spaghetti shirt, and mini shorts, and knee-length two inch heels.

"Yes you can." Mary said.

"Don't get scared: I have to lift the shirt up in order for you to see the other tattoo" Annaline said simply. Blake was just mesmerized by her confidence.

"It's fine." Mary and Erin said at the same time. Blake looked like he was drooling (literally).

"OK. The first one I am going to tell you about is the tattoo on my foot. The reason why it is right on my ankle is because it is conspicuous there. It is in the shape of a small shield outlined with a snake and a dagger inside. The story behind it is like this: One time a girl who looked a lot like me was walking out in near the ocean. She had a dagger and a pet snake. Another very poisonous snake came along and the lady didn't notice it. She stepped on it and right when it struck, the snake on her shoulder made a shape of a shield around her so she would never die of a murdered or a suicidal death. Right when the snake formed it, the lady dropped the dagger and the protective snake to the dagger, wrapped around it, killed the death snake, and slithered up to her foot, and up to her arm. He bit her right here and it immediately created this tattoo. It curled up her arm and settled down and stayed there till she died peacefully. This tattoo, on my arm, is another tale of that snake saving the ladies daughter, Annaline, from a death with a very angry fairy. What happened is that Annaline was nearing fifteen and yet she looked a lot like her mother, but only younger by a few years. The fairy made the mistake of slapping the lady, the lady slapped her back. The fairy flew away and stayed away for maybe five minutes and when she came back, the fairy came over and was about to kill Annaline, but the snake came and saved her by taking the dagger from the mother, and stabbing the fairy. Then Annaline fainted, and the snake came and rested on top of her arm and left a golden imprint on her arm of him…" Annaline started but she quickly fell asleep.

"We'll let her rest and when she wakes, she'll tell us about the folk-lore." Erin said softly. Blake nodded and picked her up and thought immediately 'This girl is extremely skinny for being so tall. And she is extremely light. Oh well.' And he brought her to her room, and set her down. She was still asleep.
