Aurora

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

We were both sat on my toy crate watching the sunset bleed into the forest filling the clouds with blush pink. Aurora was twirling the front part of her hair where it was already curly when a weltering leaf fell from her head. This gave me an idea to make her look presentable, I taped her shoulder for her to follow me and took her to the bathroom. I started to run the bath then while that was warming up I laid out a towel onto the floor. I helped her take off top and leggings but I let her keep on her undies, she lifted one leg over then the other and was now sitting in bellybutton height water. I turned off the tap in case it got too hot for her and signalled with my hand for her to turn around with her back to be so I could wash her hair, i squeezed some shampoo onto my hand and moved it around on her scalp. Her hair was incredibly tangled all over, strands were dreadlocks and I pulled out one or two twigs from the mess but after I shampooed her I then got the conditioner honeycomb and Lemon smelling and rubbed that all down her hair. There was a cup beside me balancing on the edge of the bath so I dipped that into the bath and filled it with the warm water and poured it on top of her, then with the other hand I moved the water around making sure no soap bubbles were left. The water disappeared quickly when I pulled off the plug and let Aurora get out, she wrapped a towel around her and we both walked back to my room. I swung open my wardrobe doors and got out matching outfits for us. I got dressed into a duck egg blue dress, it has a high waist with a big ribbon going all around tying into a bow at the right side and the skirt part puffed out down to my knees. Aurora had the exact same but in lilac instead and we both also had white leggings on. I passed her the drawing book so she could do something while I blow-dried her hair but the second I switched it on and the loud machine sound scared her so she hit it out of my hand. "It's okay it's just going to dry your hair!" I reassured her but she wasn't having any of it, whenever I tried to turn it on she would sit in front of the plug and turn it off. I gave in after about four tries and instead just sat and calmed her down so I could brush it. When everything was done, she had been cleaned, dried and dressed I gave her that banana from earlier while it made my bed for her to sleep in. "Okay Aurora, you get into bed and I'll sleep next door" I told her, she didn't move. I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bed. She was laying there like a lifeless log as it tucked her in and slowly walked over to the door, I reached for the handle when Aurora leaped out of bed and shut the door so I couldn't get out. "Fine" I sighed "I'll sleep with you okay?" I got out another duvet so there was enough for both of us and there was none of that waking up with none of it to see the other person hugging it all. We both sleepily moved around but just as I was about close my eye I felt the mattress bounce a bit and the other cover get pulled off with a pillow also. I turned around to see Aurora curled up in the corner in a cocoon of comfiness. She wasn't ready for a civilised life yet, that's why she didn't like the hairdryer or not sleeping on the floor. I crawled over to her to say goodnight until I noticed she had a cut on her arm. I jogged over to the bathroom and came back with a plaster. She didn't like the sound of she packaging but I smiled at her to show it was fine and said, "trust me." she flinched a little when the cold sticker touched her arm but when it was on she looked at me and smiled too. I took her arm and kissed where he plaster was. "It's called a boo-boo" I whispered "and kissing them makes them better." She closed her eyes and I sung to help her sleep "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky, Twinkle, twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are, When the blazing sun is gone ,When he nothing shines upon ,Then you show your little light ,Twinkle, twinkle, all the night ,Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are"
