💖Calliope🦋{my OC}

~ "Calliope happily accepted the invitation, jumping into the spot and making herself comfortable, settling her head in my lap while her tail wagged contentedly between the bed and Jules' arm."~Mackenzie "Kenz/Blue/Ace" Alexandra Marie Mercer {"The Faded Star", Chapter 6: Everything Stays}

~ "Calliope got our attention again with a bark, and seeing our eyes on her, she walked into the room and curled up on a patchwork cushion. Before we followed, I already knew whose room it was. Kenzie's."~Reginald "Reggie/Sparks/Reg" Atlas Peters {"The Faded Star", Chapter 12: Mirror of Memories}

~ "Yeah, well, I think we all figured that out, Sherlock. I'm more concerned about which room Calliope went to. What if she went for one of the closed rooms Kenzie mentioned?"~Alexander "Alex/'Lex/Drummer Boy" Andrew Mercer {"The Faded Star", Chapter 12: Mirror of Memories}

~ "Laughing, I stood back up, and she padded over to the staircase, looked up it, turned back and barked at us, then ran up it and out of sight. I turned to the boys, slightly confused.

~ "A cool gust of wind swept through the room, rustling the posters and art on the walls, brushing through Chess and Calliope's fur, gliding across the mirror, successfully igniting the lights around it, and knocking loose a photo before disappearing."~Third POV {"The Faded Star", Chapter 12: Mirror of Memories}

~ "In response, she meowed and jumped down, then strode toward the door. When she reached it, she stopped and turned to look at me, as if to say, 'You coming?'"~Mackenzie "Maisie/Kenz/Lexie" Alexandra Marie Mercer

A/N: I know I've mentioned doing 'Calliope's POV' & 'Chess's POV' chapters in "The Faded Star", and I still do. I also plan on giving our other beloved furry friends POV chapters in their respective stories.💞🐾🐾💞

Once again, I ask that you catch up on the previous chapters of this book and any others you're behind on when you get the chance if you haven't already, and read my last announcement (the one from yesterday) too.🧡📖🦋
