Almost Monday.

Already used to waking up at night, Hilda awoke at 11 pm, and walked out of the mountain. Trylla noticed her, as she was having breakfast, and didn't pay her any mind after. Til, Hilda was still gone an hour later. After eating, talking a bit, Trylla went in the direction she last saw Hilda go.

Avoiding the bells and line of sight for the watchtowers, she went to the train tracks. There Hilda was, half conscious, still a bit drowsy. "Hilda? We shouldn't be here.."

"Frida.." Hilda swallowed, stomping forward. "Can't..Mum..I.."

She growled, shaking her head and walking towards the city. Trylla stepped back. Hilda might not be noticed right away but she would, and that means putting both of them in danger- "Hilda, please come back before dawn.."

"Try.." She nodded slowly. "Frida..."

^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^

Hilda spent an hour walking, that hour was a waste, cause Frida's door was locked. Oh wait, she has a window. Hilda jumped up, and lightly pressed her nose against the class. A gentle tap, was loud enough to startle Frida awake.

The witch awoke, noticing the shadow, looking to her window, covering her mouth to silence her shriek. She fell of the bed, Hilda letting out a small growl to apologize. Frida scrambled up, opening her window, pulling Hilda in. "What are you doing here?!" Frida whispered.

"Grrhm hrrgh?-" Hilda frowned, crossing her arms. "Tcchhhrrggh.."

Frida sighed, kneeling down, patting the floor. "Tontu, come out."

There was no flash, but a light was flicked on under her bed. The nisse skittered out, stretching as it switched its bedtime hat to its morning hat. "What can..Yawwnnn..I do for you Frida?"

"Nisse can understand trolls right?" She looked to it.

"Some do yes! We learn from the source if possible, and I have! Last house I was kicked out of made me leave the city for awhile." It looked up. "What a small troll."

Hilda growled, "I'm rather tall compared to the others.."

"No you aren't, you're so small! Trolls are twice if not three times your size! What would you like to tell our dear Frida?" The nisse pointed to the witch.

Hilda blinked, eyes glowing in the dark, "She's my Dear Frida, she's my girlfriend."

"Well just because she's your girlfriend doesn't mean you own her does it?" The nisse tapped its nose.

Hilda shook her head, drawing back, "I-"

"Hilda, is allowed to call me hers. I always call her my familiar, I don't mind if she calls me hers in any way." Frida picked the nisse up, setting it on her bed, sitting by it.

Tontu leaned against her side, Hilda feeling its glare. "I suppose so. What is so important Troll?"

"Hilda. Hil-da. And I'm only here for my girlfriend. It's been days and I miss her." Hilda stuck her tounge out at it.

Tontu stayed silent for a few seconds before turning to face Frida, "She wants to breakup."

Hilda grabbed it, throwing it at the wall, Tontu grabbing a shelf and slipping in before popping out under the bed. "Hilda! That's my nisse!" Frida picked Tontu up. "You can't just throw her willy-nilly! Tontu, are you okay?"

Pausing for a second, Tontu fell limp, "The pain-"

Hilda snarled, turning and going back to the window, "I'll just come back til I'm human! S'not like people will notice, I'm already a nuisance as is." She grabbed the stool of the window, hopping out.

"Hilda-!" Frida dropped her nisse, peeking over the edge. "Hilda.."

"Ghhrm." Hilda licked her hand, sticking it to the wall, sliding down.

Til, she was grabbed. Frida squeezed her shoulder, leaning down and cupping Hilda's chipped cheek, "Fix that up okay? I love you as you are, but I don't want you having scars.."

Hilda let out a growl like sigh, leaning in to Frida's palm. She knew her skin was rough, stone tended to be like that, but Frida made no move to flinch. "I love you Frida..Sleep well My Witch.." Hilda turned slightly, kissing her palm before pulling back and sliding down.

Frida closed her fingers around her palm, waving at Hilda with her other hand, the troll blowing her a kiss or twenty before making her way around town. "What did she say, Tontu..?" Frida stepped back, closing her window. "And don't lie this time.."

Sighing, the nisse agreed, "She said she loves you and to sleep well.." Tontu grumbled.

Frida nodded slowly, "Okay..Okay..Uh.. Thank you Tontu, goodnight.." She pat her head.

The nissed switched its hat out, skittering under the bed, the covers rustling, the light switching off. Back to bed at last.

'One wrong turn and what do I get?- Saftey patrol that's what.' Hilda gripped the concrete, sliding and turning streets.

The car zoomed by, sirens going off, the tires screeching before the car reversed. But by then, Hilda was gone. She jumped up on a roof, and nearly broke a chimney. But up there, she saw her roof. Tempted to go over, she did, and stopped on the balcony.

On her bed, was..Everyone. Tontu, Alfur, Twig, Baba, Raven and.. "Ghhm.."

Hilda growled softly, letting out a sort of whine, looking around. "Mmrrkk ghhm.." Hilda very gently knocked her head on the glass, stepping back and jumping off the balcony.

She cracked the concrete, glancing around before running off. She slipped past the patrol car on her way back and made it through the train tracks, Trylla waiting by a tree. "Trylla!"

The troll jolted up, "Hilda oh my troll- Come on hurry! The sun will rise soon--"

Hilda took her hand, being hoisted over her shoulder, Trylla keeping low to the ground as she slipped from view of the watchtowers, returning inside the mountain. Others slowly stomped in behind them, but some stayed outside to spite patrol.

Trylla slowed when they made it safely to the paths, making her way to the cave. Hilda was set by the ring of rocks, Trylla stomping over to her small hoard of pottery. "Could that be taken the wrong way?" Hilda asked, waving her hand.

The flame ignited, Hilda glancing over at Trylla, "If you mean since clay is a type of stone, then no. Clay is not stone. Clay is..Differnt I guess. I have no way of describing it, but it's not stone." Trylla took a cup, working on her own thing. "What did you do?"

"I went to see my girlfriend..And stumbled across my house."

Trylla nodded, "And?"

"Escaped patrol. Those bums are as annoying as bells.."

Trylla stomped over, holding out the cup of honey tea. "Go to bed after, we'll be out at dusk to see if we can catch your mother.."

Hilda nodded slowly, "Okay.."

"I'll set up your bed."

"Thank you."

Quietly, the two did their own thing for ten minutes. Hilda thanked Trylla for the tea, went to bed, and hoped for the best. Twelve hours of sleep did kind of sound nice..

As the adventure continues.
