Azalea's P.O.V

Ora seemed really nice. She told us that Captain Puffy, the renown pirate, was indeed her mother. She didn't know her father, but Puffy said that she had two brothers, one came with them when they left, but they had to leave the other. Puffy couldn't hold him and Ora.

We told her a bit about our families, and we all started to share certain stories that we thought were funny, or just brought back really happy memories. It was really fun, to be honest. Then we started talking about why we were all there. Like, thoroughly.

"Well, I mean, we know that he keeps us here because he needs 'control' over people, and 'attachments' are the way to go. But then, why wouldn't there be more people here?" Ora asked. I was pacing back a forth, my tail flicking behind me. I knew she was right, but I couldn't come up with an answer.

I heard a gasp and spun around. Whirlwind was sitting against the wall, and her eyes were wide.

"What?" I asked, walking over to her.

"We all have something in common. Well, at least, Z and I do. We are both important to Dream and his friends." She said. Ora gave her a confusing look. "I'm Sapnap's step sister, and mental sister to Dream and George. Z lived with them for 6 months, and dated Dream in that time." She explained. Ora made an o shaped mouth.

"But that still doesn't explain why you're here Ora." I said, going back to pacing, running my hand through my hair.

"Yes, it does." a voice said. We all whipped our heads around and saw George standing in the door way, a nervous look on his face. My facial features turned stone cold as soon as I found he was there.

"Explain goggles." Ora said. The corners of my mouth tipped upwards, but other than that, nobody could see any emotion on my face.

"Well, you all are important to Dream. Which is why you all are here. Zay's here because Dream wants her back, Whirlwind's here because Dream doesn't want his mental sister hurt. And Orabella's here because she's Dream's adoptive sister." he explained, walking towards the cell door with a bag in his hand.

He opened the door, and threw the bag in. "Here's some food that should last you for another three days. We won't be back till then." He said simply, before walking back out. I picked up the bag and opened it. They actually gave us decent food this time.

I turned around and saw Ora had dropped to the floor, and had her knees pulled up to her chest, her elbows resting on them and her head in her hands. I immediately knew something was wrong. I quickly walked over to her, and crouched down.

"Ora... Ora, can you hear me?" I got a whimper in response. I gently grabbed her wrists, and brought her arms down from her face. She looked up at me with panicked eyes, and tears streaming down her face. I instantly knew that she was panicking.

I pulled her into a hug, keeping my arms tight around her. I felt her arms weakly wrap around me.

"Ora, you need to breath. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Follow my lead." I said, steadying my breath and making it so she could hear it clearly. I felt her relax slightly, and her breathing return to normal. I slowly released her from the hug, and wiped away the tears that still fell from her eyes.

"Better?" I said quietly. She nodded and smiled at me. 

"Thanks, Z. I'm sorry you had to see that... I just panicked because of what goggles just said." She said. I nodded. I mean, I would be panicking too if I found out that Dream was my adoptive brother. I mean, mental is fine, but adoptive? I can't imagine what she is going through right now.

Whirlwind had scooted over to us, and was now putting a protective wing around Ora. 

"It's alright. It's ok, Ora, nothing bad is going to happen. How about we have something to eat? It'll make all of us feel better." She said rationally. I nodded, and grabbed the paper bag that had dropped when I ran to Ora.

I passed out some sliced of bread, and an apple for each of us. We quickly devoured our food, and I gave some cheese to Ora and Whirlwind, seeing as they were the skinniest. Although, Whirlwind was looking better from me sacrificing some meals.

"Z, please have some cheese yourself. You're the skinniest one out of us." Whirlwind said. I sighed, but did take some cheese myself. It tasted a little old, but it was still good. I devoured it within seconds. The others laughed when I had finished, my tail thumping loudly.

Then I heard some soft tapping. It was almost as if another tail was wagging as well, but I couldn't figure it out. Then I noticed that the noise was coming from Ora.

"Ora?" 

"Hm?"

"Do you have a tail?" I asked bluntly. I didn't care if it sounded rude, I was curious. She looked at me surprised, before a sheepish grin spread across her face. She slowly nodded, and I was surprised. "Wait, really?" 

She stood up and turned around. We could now see a small deer like tail hanging down. It was actually pretty cute. She sat back down, and Whirlwind and I both smiled at her.

"I also have horns. See?" She took off her hat, and we could see two dark gray tips pointing out of her brown hair. She put her hat back on. I nodded, and leaned back on my elbows. Whirlwind then patted her lap, and I got up, resting my head on her lap (platonically).

She began playing with my hair, humming a little song. I saw Ora but her head on Whirlwind's shoulder, and close her eyes. That's when she began singing.

"Wasting your time..... you're wasting mine..." She sang. The tune sounded familiar, but I couldn't figure it out.

"What song is this?" I asked sleepily. 

"One my brother wrote. He used to sing it to me and my younger brother when he first wrote it. I took the time to memorize it. I thought it was really good." She said, resuming her song.

"I hate to see you leaving.... a fate worse than dying..." 

The lyrics sounded so familiar to me, but with my fuzzy brain, I couldn't pinpoint where I had heard them.

"Your ci'y gave me asthma...  So that's why I'm fucking leaving..."

I heard Ora's breathing slow down and I could tell she was already asleep.

"And your water gave me cancer.... and the pavement hurt my feelings...."

I felt my eyelids close, and my body relaxing. Now I just had to wait for the peaceful lul of sleep to come.

"Shout at the wall.... Cause the walls don't fucking love you...."

My hearing went numb and I slipped into the quietness of sleep, the last lyrics I heard echoing in my head.

"Shout at the wall.... cause the walls don't fucking love you..."

Ayup!! How is everyone today? I hope yall are doing well and alright, and I'm sorry if you aren't and I hope it gets better soon.

So, laid back chapter, revealed that Ora's dream's adoptive sister. But who are his parents? I mean, she already confirmed that Captain Puffy was her mother, so who's adopted: Dream or Ora? And who's the other brother that wasn't taken with them?

Sooo some familiar lyrics above that Whirlwind was singing... too bad Zia didn't know who sang them originally. 

Welp, that's all I really have for you guys. I hoped you liked the chapter... but yeah, have a great day!
