Writing

The next few weeks of our break were filled with a lot of fire practice with both Fintan and his friend Brant. I also got to hang out with the twins quite a lot. Even though Sophie was on break I was not. I still had to go to school everyday and had a lot of homework.

It wasn't long before Sophie was back in school and getting a lot of homework as well. We had agreed that when she started again, that when we got home we would relax and wait for the other to do our school work together. And with the help of the other we were able to get a lot more done.

I had come home earlier than usual because we all did really well with our skills today. I was just helping Grady and Edaline with the animals, we all have grown a lot closer over the last few weeks, when a few people with what looked like crowns on their heads appeared.

"We need Grady and Edaline to come with us. Your daughter has been ordered a hearing." One of them said, looking at Grady.

"What happened? What did she do?" Grady responded giving Edaline a pointed look.

"We can't say what she did, to many ears. We just need you and your wife to come with us. We also can't allow your other child to come." The same as before said, in a board tone of voice.

I could tell that he was about to argue with them so I pulled on his sleeve and shook my head no. Seeing the look in my eyes he nodded and hugged me before grabbing Edaline's hand and going with the random people.

While they were gone I was out with the gnomes helping them with whatever they needed. Soon they sent me in to rest so I started cleaning the house instead. I had cleaned all of the downstairs and most of the second floor. I had just finished with the bedroom where my mirror friend is, and was just starting on the offices across the hall. I was still unsure if I should clean Grady and Edaline's room or not.

I was half way done with Grady's when the front door opened and closed downstairs. I could faintly hear our adoptive parents talking down there. They made a few comments about how clean it was but other than that I think they were talking about the hearing Sophie had.

I was so caught up in the cleaning of the office I didn't even hear them come up the stairs and walk to the office. I was just in my own little world with music blasting from my phone while I danced along. I had taken all of the books off the shelves and was dusting them all off as well as cleaning the shelves. I was leaving the desk alone not wanting to mess any of the papers up.

Just as I turned around to start organizing all of the books, I saw Grady leaning against the door frame with Edaline in his arms resting her head on his shoulder. They both had small smiles on their faces as they watched me.

"Hey kiddo. Did you do all the cleaning downstairs?" Grady asked, his smile growing. I nodded looking down thinking I did something wrong.

"Hey you're alright. You aren't in trouble for cleaning. It actually helps so I don't have to worry about it later." Edaline was the one to talk this time. Again I nodded.

"Would you like some help with these books?" Grady asked, walking in and grabbing a book off the floor. I smiled and motioned to the shelves.

And so for the next hour or so Grady, Edaline, and I all worked together to organize all the books and clean the floor up. I left the desk to Grady which he was thankful for. Soon the room looked almost brand new. The only thing it was missing was a rug for the middle of the floor. I motioned to it and transmitted a picture of a rug to Edaline.

Understanding what I was implying she conjured up a rug from who knows where to the room. I walked forward and set it up making the room look so much better. I then turned to Grady and Smiled at him. He saw and smiled back and said thank you. I was about to go and work on the other office when they told me to go take a break and rest for a bit.

I eventually agreed and went upstairs to my room and showered and got in some pjs. Walking over to the bean bags in the corner I grabbed a book off the shelf and sat down going into the world of reading.

It wasn't long before Sophie came back. I looked at her questioningly and she started talking about all that happened in the last two days.

Starting with the star's assignment for school to the incident at the field that they ended up needing to call Elwin for, all the way to the hearing that she had today. Dang we really can't leave you alone for long can we? I thought to myself, or I thought it was to myself.

Now is not the time for that Akari! I just found out people are putting things into my head and now the console doesn't trust me! What am I going to do?!

Hey, it'll be fine. Just breathe. It's not like we were created in a lab or something. It's just a memory or two. It'll be ok.

You're right It'll be ok. Like let's be honest elves probably don't even know what a fertility lab is. And knowing what that is myself, I highly doubt that any of them would do something like that.

See, everything will be just fine. We're safe here.

You're right. Thanks.

You're welcome. What are sisters for if not to help each other? Plus we're twins so we're even cooler!

Oh my gosh you're a dork.

Hey! That just means I'm lovable!!

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Rude!!

Soon both me and Sophie were getting ready for bed, and getting under the covers together. We ended up talking for a bit longer but soon were fast asleep with our little stuffed friends And Iggy laying on Sophie's pillow.

Sophie had gotten him the first week we moved here and he has been by her said almost more than I have. And that's saying something. But we love the little guy.

And with that I was sucked into the land of dreams.
