Amber's POV.

Connor and I were told to go on to bed and take Rebecca with us since she refused to let go of Connor in her sleep. The three of us went to my room that I've been staying in since the bed was a king size.

We laid down, not bothering to change into different clothes and had Rebecca in the middle of us. We instantly fell asleep. I woke only once on the middle of the night to the sounds of whimpering.

Rebecca was having a nightmare. In his sleep, Connor carded his fingers gently through her hair and shushed her. It seemed to calm her down and soon they were both back in a deep sleep.

I followed them shortly after and didn't wake again until late in the morning. When I woke this time it was to Rebecca sitting up in bed.

She turned over to look at Connor who was still sound asleep. She then turned to me and saw that I was awake. Her eyes glowed brighter and I could hear her in my mind.

" Good morning Luna. Did you sleep good?" She asked politely.

I smiled at her. " I slept wonderfully and please, call me Amber. " I said.

She grinned. She seemed completely at ease here with Connor and I. I was immensely happy about that. I want her to feel safe here.

" I was wondering, do you know how to talk or is talking in your mind easier for you?" I asked.

She seemed hesitant to answer but did anyway. " I can talk, I've just spent so much time being told to only use my powers when trying to talk. " she said in my mind.

" I understand. I want you to know that you will be safe here and anytime you wish to talk out loud we will gladly encourage it. There's no rush at all. You do whatever feels better for you. " I told her.

" You all are so kind. " she said.

" I try to be. " I said.

She smiles. Connor yawns just then and his eyes slowly open. He looks over and spots her awake. " Good morning Rebecca. Did you sleep well?" He asks.

Her eyes glow and he smiles. " Good, I'm glad you did. " he said.

" I need to get moving. I'm already late for work as it is. " I said as I make my way off the bed and over to the closet.

I then hear Rebecca in my mind. " Aren't you curious as to where I came from? Shouldn't you be asking me a bunch of questions?" She asked. Her tone was shaky, almost like she was terrified of the answer.

I turn towards her. " I am curious but by the injuries you had I can tell you've been through a lot. As much as o want answers, I'm not going to push you for them. You can tell me on your own time. All I want is for you to be safe and happy. " I said.

Her eyes widen. " Really? You're not going to interrogate me or torture me?" She asked.

My heart aches for her when she asks that. " We would never torture you for answers. You are a child Rebecca, you deserve to have happiness and people that care about you. I would never interrogate you or torture you for answers. I promise. " I said.

She seems to relax even more. " I can tell you're telling the truth. Thank you. " she said.

I then get an idea. " Hey Connor, since we're already late for work, how about we take the morning off and take Rebecca here to the store for some clothes and toys?" I suggest.

Connor smiles at me. " Perfect and on the way back we can stop and pick up Walnut. " said Connor.

" Sounds good to me. " I said.
