It took a long time for them to fully be parents to Cassandra. Even though they played with Andy more than necessary before she came. She outgrew her clothes, barely had clothes to wear, even. She could speak, but only limited words like mummy, daddy, and stuff like that. But they got a problem, which was she must speak more words for her age. She could also recognize everyone's usual faces, and names, of course. They took Chris' suggestion, that it would be better if they'd take Cassandra to play with Andy for her words to improve. Besides, they were in the same ages.
They had always bonded together, the parents together with Cassandra. Sometimes, going to the human world just to visit the children's park, and mostly in their own playground beside the house. But they weren't the only ones close to her, but also, Chris. No one didn't really know, but Chris had just liked her very much, and Cassandra feeling the same way since the time they were the only ones left inside the house, the others going out for a fun trip. The two had always spend their time, sometimes, reading the girl a book before she falls to sleep rocking their chair in the house porch during sunsets when he always had his free time. And everyone did feel happy for them.
Half of the year had passed when the two children finally grew up to be a young girl and boy. Grew up to be far more close to each other, became the best of friends ever since. It was the deep night, when Cassandra was just awake, full of thoughts in her head. She was imagining of how beautiful the moon was, since she never saw one in a midnight. Then, she was tempted, someone telling her to go out and break the curiosity. She was simply staring at the ceiling in her own room, but the ceiling in her imagination was the sky full of stars. She was smiling on her own, like a crazy kid.
Soon, she decided to go out of her room. And she did, but she took a peek first, thinking if her father was possibly watching in the living room. She brought out her head out the door, looked around the room with no lights at all. No one was there, she walked out of the room and walked very carefully, tiptoed almost. She was alert, prepared for any sudden things.
She was near then the door, since their house was just small, compared to the Mullen's. She touched the doorknob, carefully turned it, at the same time took the last look at the room. No one was there. She had opened the door, and exited the house successfully. She was surprised when her sight was captured by the stars shining above her. The skies were clear, completely was when the stars shined all the way from the most corner of the sky to the other. It was such a wonder.
She gazed for a long time, didn't even care if her neck was stiff and aching. She deepened her sight, since she got abilities to do it including every vampire living. She saw the galaxy whirling around. She shook, got shocked too much that she backed a step. Almost stumbled down to the ground, but she somehow got her balance. It made her more curious that time, but daylight was just there, coming to change the night. "I've seen enough already." She said to herself, decided to go in and continue her sleep if her body could allow that. She didn't want any arguments anymore, that's why she went in.
But this time, entered the house without any alertness, just opened the door like the usual thing she was doing. She walked normally, did not tiptoe or anything like that. And then she came back to her room, laid down once again.
She tried to recall what had just happened, and what she saw. Recalled how incredible that galaxy was, it was almost impossible to tell that such a beauty had existed outside the world. She wanted to see it each day, she wanted to go there, even. This is the only time that she realized something was better than the moon she used to know as the most wonderful thing of the night. And as she recall those things, she didn't know it was too much that she finally fell asleep.
The curious young girl had just slept.
Then, after two hours, Clarissa opened the door, went inside to wake her up. For breakfast. But she felt pity for her child when she looked at her, knew she just got her sleep. But, not the one when she went out alone.
