Rayla stepped out of her room quietly. She looked around her surrogate parents bedroom door. Coast was clear. She tip toed downstairs. She flicked the switch at the bottom of the stairs.

Runaan was there, hands on hips.

''AAH!!'' she screamed.

''Thought you could sneak out, mhm?'' he said, shaking his head.

''You're only 10 years old!''

''Rayla, you shouldn't be sneaking out! It's 11 o clock at night!'' Ethari said, coming through the door.

''Why are you going? You know the rules!'' Runaan asked, witheringly.

Rayla fumbled around a bit. She whispered something inaudible.

''Pardon?'' Runaan said.

''It was a dare...'' she said, more clearly.

''No more dares.'' Runaan said, rolling his eyes.

''Back to bed Rayla!'' he added, louder.

Ethari brought Rayla back up to her room. Runaan sat down at the table and rubbed his head in his hands and sighed.

''No more sneaking out okay?'' Ethari said, tucking her in and kissing her on the forehead.

''Why's Runaan all sad?'' Rayla asked

''He's not sad, he's just a bit worked up. He's been training for a while and you're training is going to be tomorow! You better have a good night's sleep. Night sweetheart.''

Ethari said, getting up and closing the door slowly.
