It was a dark and dreary night in the town of Foggy Hollow, and in one house only one house there was a young girl wide awake, her name was Emerald Skies. She was sitting at her desk with her head in her hands, talking to herself. "Dad didn't bring me groceries yesterday... I hope he hasn't forgotten about me, he won't forget about me right?" Emerald was trying to reassure herself that she wasn't forgotten, which I can reassure you that she wasn't forgotten. But she didn't know that. The tears threatened to burn her eyes, she closed her eyes tightly. Even though she was trying to hold back her tears, one tear slipped down her face. It took only a few seconds until she was full-on crying. Her vines started to surround her in a reaction to her sadness. This sight was terrifying. Anyone would have been scared to see vines grow out of somebody's skin. "You are ok.. You still have food to last you a few more days before you have to go out and get groceries!... Dad might have just been busy yesterday, he will come tomorrow. He still loves you... You're the only child he has, he still loves you.." Emerald's words came out very quiet and between sentences, she would hiccup for air. As Emerald started to become more and more tired she would calm down more, the vines seemingly wilting as she calmed down. It was three in the morning and she was extremely exhausted. The crying only made Her more tired, she fell asleep face down on her desk in a puddle of tears. Later while Emerald was asleep at her desk, Her father Hector walked into the small house in the woods. set the groceries down on the kitchen counter, then put them away, listening for the sound of Emerald being awake. Then he walked to Emerald's small bedroom, picked her up, and carefully put her in her bed under the blankets. Hector said, "I love you Emerald, sleep well.." and then he lightly kissed her on the forehead. He silently walked out of Emerald's room, He used the spare bedroom and slept there for the night. He did this quite often, Slept in the spare bedroom for the night, then in the morning he'd get up early and make breakfast for the two of them. It was almost always the same thing: bacon, two pancakes for each of them.
The Next Morning
Hector woke up early, made breakfast, and left After eating his share of the food, not bothering to wake Emerald up. He always left a note on the mornings he did this though and it always seemed to make Emerald happy. After Emerald woke up she walked to the kitchen, took the note off of the fridge and read it, the note almost always said the same thing: Good morning Emerald! If you are reading this note then you should be awake! I'm sorry I didn't wake you up, you just looked so peaceful and I didn't want to interrupt your sleep. Sorry, I didn't bring you groceries sooner Emmy, yesterday was a long day at work. I hope you enjoy your breakfast! - Love, Dad. Emerald chuckled and smiled, she was very happy when she saw that Hector made her breakfast. She ate it sparingly mostly because she only got to eat freshly made breakfast once a month, her Father is a very busy man after all. "Dad came after all, see there was no need to cry over such petty things. Dad was just busy. He is always busy." Emerald was a little sad that she missed seeing her dad, She missed him very much. Currently, she was thinking about going outside for a small walk. Today she was willing to risk it, all Foggy hollow knows who Emerald is but not for the right reasons, they all knew her because of her magic.
