The three walk into the house

The three walk into the house. All carrying some bags. The two girls had thrown their clothes together as Bella had decided she wanted to get a style that made her more comfortable. Something the Demigoddess was excited to help with.

The house isn't stylish or modern, but it's comfortable, lived in. Lots of fishing memorabilia; photos of Charlie fishing with another man. Lots of handmade letters from Bella framed on the wall.

Evelynn laughs as she passes a picture, Bella turning and wincing when seeing the picture. "You were so cute." The demigoddess says. Charlie turns and looks at the picture. Smiling at the memory.

The picture was of Bella, age 7, in a tutu, sitting stubbornly on the ground. A strong pout on her face as she crosses her arms over her chest. "I wouldn't say cute." Bella mumbles. Charlie laughs as Evelynn smiles at her.

"I put Grandpa's old desk in your room. And I cleared some shelves in the bathroom." Charlie tells his daughter before turning to Evelynn. "And I cleaned up the guest room for you." He tells her. She smiles and nods thankfully.

"Thank you so much Charlie. For welcoming me into your home." The demigoddess says softly. Charlie smiles as he leads them to Bella's room. The room was a muted blue color. An antique rolltop desk sits in a corner.

The room is filled with childhood remnants that have seen better days. The brunette girl sighing as she looks around. Charlie sets her bags down and looks around, gesturing to the bed he bought a few days prior in order to replace the old twin sized one.

"The sales lady picked out the bed stuff. And uh, you're welcome to redecorate if you want." Charlie tells her. Bella nods and smiles at him as the man turns to Evelynn. "Your room is just across the hall." He tells her.

Leading the two girls towards what was once the spare room. "Same thing. You can do whatever you want with it. Um, let me know if you want to paint or anything like that. I'll help get the stuff." He tells the two girls.

Evelynn nods and thanks him as she looks around the room. The room itself was a lavender grey color. A full-sized bed sitting in the middle of the far wall. There was an old wooden desk in the corner, a lamp sitting on it.

But other than that, the room was bare. Something Evelynn would change in time. "Thank you, Charlie." She tells him. The man smiles and nods. "Of course. You're family now. Um... I'll let you two settle in." He tells them before smiling, kissing Bella's head and exiting the room.

"Will you help me redecorate?" Bella asks her best friend. Evelynn smiles and nods. "Of course. But let's unpack first." She tells her. Bella nods and the two go to her room. Deciding to unpack her things first before moving to Evelynn's room.

*~*~*~*~*~*

After two hours' the girls had finished Packing. Evelynn lying next to Bella as they talk about random things. Evelynn telling Bella about her latest trip to Camp Half-Blood. However, their conversation was cut short when a honk sounds from outside.
