"Calm down" Leto's voice called from the hall
I smiled at my guardian "but it's exciting, a new home, a new job, it's a new adventure"
"Oh child, I'm pleased your excited but we have a lot to do before we reach Angel Falls and that includes finishing packing things into the car and cleaning the last rooms"
I had lived in the apartment with Leto for as long as I could remember, my mother had died at my birth tasking Leto to look after me, my grandfather had refused anything to do with me and the doctor who had initially taken me in had been about to pass me to social services when Leto showed up and claimed me, taking me back to her apartment in Montreal.
The movers had already left with the bigger items, all that was left was small personal items that we couldn't bear to put in the van.
Leto was a historical translator who worked from home and I had just graduated college and was set for my first job as a librarian. I had been astonished to receive a reply to my application to the Angel Falls Library, which was famous for its extensive collection on mythology, a skype interview later and the job was mine, I had a week to move and settle in before my boss Leisel Temple was expecting me to start work.
Leto had seemed happy with the move and quickly found us a new apartment in a historic manor just outside the town.

Three hours later we were on our way, packed into my little car which Leto had given me for my graduation gift.
The journey took us through some beautiful countryside over the border and into Maine and it was early evening when we reached our new home.
The movers had placed most of the furniture and had put boxes into the marked rooms on the plan Leto had given them.
I sighed "can we just eat and crash, I'm so tired after that drive" I begged.
"Of course we can, is soup alright, whilst it's heating we can get the beds made up" she replied smiling and moving towards the kitchen
"Yes please" I called moving up to give her a hug
"Thank you" I mumbled
"For what child?"
"For always being there for me" I replied hugging her again.
Whilst the soup heated we made our beds before eating and turning in for the night
"Night Leto " I called
"Good night Serenity, sweet dreams my child"
