~Mia~

I glanced at the window. The sun hasn't come up yet. Why was I even up at this time? The house was quiet because everyone was asleep. The air felt cold and crisp. The window was cracked slightly so the cold night air blew in. I fidgeted with my hands and bounced my leg up and down.

My nerves were acting up again. Why? I stared at the ground for god knows how long until someone nudge my arm.

"Mia?" It is as Grayson.

"Hey. What time is it?"

"Well the sun n is rising now. It's around sunrise. "

"Ok." I sighed and stood up walking past Grayson. The day hasn't even started and I'm already exhausted.

"Hey Mia you ok?" Grayson filled me into the hallway and down to the kitchen.

"Yea just tired." I rubbed my eyes in an attempt to wake me up. My eyes still felt heavy with the sleepiness. I sat down stared at the floor.

Grayson sat down next to me and sighed.  "I know something might be bothering you but if you want to talk....I'm here." I leaned my head against his shoulder. Sleep was still calling to me and I drifted. I could hear his soft voice from time to time. I drifted into a much needed sleep.

Time skip

"Mia get up!" I jumped at the sound of Drake yelling.  Huh? What time was it? Grayson was still next me but looked like he had fell asleep judging by the look on his face and the way his hair looked.

"No I want to sleep."

"Mia get up." Grayson groaned as he pushed me off of him.

"But why!" I curled into a ball when I felt a pair of hands grab under my arms and bring me to my feet. I turned and glared at Drake. What was he up to. Grayson and him walked away talking about something.

Drake pov

I found the two of them asleep. Grayson forgot didn't he. I guess he was just tired. He had the idea for the surprise and he was supposed to get it ready. I got the two of them up and talked to Grayson. He did forget. He feel asleep by accident.

I got both of them up and dragged Grayson away from Mia.

"Wha-"

Smack

"Oww! Why did you smack me on the back of the head?!" He whined. I just cocked an eyebrow and stood there.

"Ohhhh never mind." He turned to glance at Mia. "Let's get Armen."

"I'm already up!" Armen jogged down the hallway to me and Grayson. Mia gave the three of us a questioning glance before walking to the kitchen to eat.

Time skip

"Do we have to. It's early in the morning. The sun hasn't even reached noon in the sky!"

"Mia we are almost there." Grayson had to practically drag her. We got a clearing in the meadow fields. There was a view of the valley. The rolling hills that stretched into the horizon covered with brightly colored flowers. Mia gasped at the view. She turned to us and started jumping up and down.

"It's so pretty! Why are we here?" She turned to look back at the view.

"You don't know? Today's your birthday isn't it?" Grayson turned to me. Please don't tell me we got the date wrong.

"Oh yea that's right. Sorry after a while I forget and lose track of counting. It's been over a hundred years!" She smiled.

"Wow...." Armen trailed off staring into the valley.

Time skip few hours

I've been here all day. I'm ready to go home and sleep. I don't care if it's only 5 in the evening. Sometimes being half enderman is a pain. Enderman are night creatures. They sleep during the day. I want to sleep during the day half the time. It drives me crazy. I was feeling unusually tired. I looked over at Grayson who was watching Armen and Mia run around the field for the past half hour. A bad feeling waged over me as I looked down at my left hand. It was shaking. Why? Why am I shaking? I felt panic set in as a sharp pain hit my chest. Red tinted my vision. Why did this seem so familiar....
