1X1 for Pie220 and Hawky

[abandoned.]

Steven had woken up earlier than everyone, which wasn't normal for him. He yawned, shuffling about the house, passing through the kitchen. As he passed, he took an apple and bit into it, walking back up the stairs, sure Aruna would be waking up soon. He passed by Celeste's room and checked in on her, before he continued towards Aruna's room.

What about that idea I told you in November?))

[abandoned.]

So bored...

[RoseQ]

Eli awoke late that mornif, standing out of bed. He yawned and stretched his arms over his head. He hurried over to Aurora's room and smiled. He laid beaide her and put his arm around her, still smiling. "Good morning," he said quietly, noticing she didn't seem to want to get out of bed.

Celeste was still sleeping, back to her nightmares of her old master, back when he abused her sister and Celeste watched it. She was whimpering and was curled into a tight ball.

Aurora looked at Eli when he was suddenly next to her, his arms wrapped around her. She smiled lightly, turning so she could face him. "Sorry...thoughts. I was about to get ready and make breakfast," she said.

Steven had been right when he'd checked in on Aruna. She sat groggily, her blonde hair messy, as she rubbed her eyes. He smiled lightly and picked her up, "Come. Breakfast," he said, walking back, heading for the stairs, stopping outside Celeste's room when he heard her whimpering. Frowning, he set his niece down and told her to head to the kitchen, before he entered Celeste's room.

Eli smiled at her, kissing her forehead lightly. "I'll help if you want," he said softly, holding her close. He still felt really bad about yesterday.

Celeste continued to whimper and dream, looking utterly afraid. She was so afraid.

[abandoned.]

Aurora shook her head, "You don't have to. You can if you want." she told him, before she started to move away. "I'll need to change first..."

Steven closed the door behind him and walked over, shaking the girl gently. "Celeste," he whispered.

[RoseQ]

Celeste jumped awake suddenly, grabbing hold of Steven. She was panting in fear, holding him tightly.

I will," Eli agreed. He turned away, letting her change. He didn't want to leave, but he didn't want to intrude on her privacy.

[abandoned.]

Steven held onto Celeste, sittin on the edge of the bed. "Shh. It wasn't real," he said.

Once Eli was out of the room, Aurora stood and walked to the dresser and grabbed some random dress. She shed her nightgown and pulled the dress on, reaching behind her to tug the zipper up. She frowned when it wouldn't zip up, figuring it was stuck. Maybe she could find Elena...

[RoseQ]

"But... But it... It was..." Celeste said, taking in deep, frightened breaths.

Eli wetn down to the kitchen, waiting patiently for Aurora to come down.
