81194 Loves 48194 // and vice versa

"Good morning, sir... Let's make a deal."

January 23, 2046

It's scary not knowing what that man could do to them while they aren't watching...

It's worrisome leaving them all alone together... even if it's just a couple of days.

––––– ++ –––––

Although it had only been a couple of hours, everyone were getting very comfortable with the new living arrangements.

The new beds that the children were able to sleep on instead of the ground, new and fresh pair of clothes, and even clean water to wash up in. Everything that they would need in order to survive until they could cross into the human world with all of their siblings.

But something that didn't change, was the schedule that they had regularly been on since being even younger.

Starting their morning off at six am. With the clanging of pots hitting each other, all of the children started waking up.

All the children woke up energetic and full of energy. Happy that they were able to sleep in a nice and comfortable bed. Soon putting that energy into folding up their beds and putting them away. Afterwards, the children started leaving the room in small little groups, soon with a small group of the younger boys running up to Emma.

"Emma!" The younger boys yelled, grabbing the attention of the busy older one. "We put away the blankets! So can we go now? Can we?!" Rossi and Dominic asked very energetically.

"Yeah, go ahead." Emma happily answered them. Sending the two younger boys running off into another room, with some of the others following behind them.

"They have so much energy!" Anna giggled, watching as the other boys followed Dominic and Rossi.

"Maybe a little too much energy. And they just woke up." Gilda added, folding up the extra things that were left.

"Reminds me of them at the house. Them just running back and forth in the halls while everyone got ready." Anna memorialized smiling.

The two of them continued talking while they tidied up the room they had been sleeping in. While on the other side, another conversation was going on.

"Oh yeah, I had so,etching to ask." Emma started. Ray hummed, signing her to continue.

"What were you and Anna doing up so late?" Emma continued. "Actually, I've had this question for a while! You two have been staying up late together!" Emma added.

"We've just been in the library reading..." Ray answered, not making eye contact with Emma.

"Is it like that one time we saw you two sleeping in the library that one day!?" Don chimed in a little too loud.

"Wh-What!?" Ray stammered a bit embarrassed.

"I never saw the day where I think you'd be embarrassed of something!!" Nat exclaimed.

The three of them continued annoying Ray about previous things before Ray left the room, annoyed and irritated like always.

"Those three are like annoying flies that won't leave you alone." Ray mumbled, walking away from the room and into the kitchen.

Nobody was in the kitchen yet, so Ray had the entire kitchen to himself to make breakfast for the now, 16 of them. As he walked around the kitchen, he absentmindly started humming the lullaby that Isabella had hummed everyday. Making it a custom to the childrens daily lives, walking past her while she was in the middle of humming.
