When I come back to the room, Opal and Kaitlynn aren't there.
I sigh and flop onto the bed, exhausted from my chat with Mitali. She told me to trust my sister. That I need to let her be with me. That I need to help her feel....like she's useful.
Mitali and I, we both think that same way. She understands that I want to be on top of the world, that I need to feel useful. I need to be doing something to help. Apparently, she does too.
I can't help thinking of her sister whenever I look at Mitali. They're identical twins, just like Opal and I. They have to be. They both do. It scares me a little bit. I hate her sister with all my heart, but Mitali....she's so much like me. I hope that Opal and I don't grow apart like that. I wonder who would be who?
The ceiling is painted to be soothing, but I can't see it right now because I'm on the lower bunk. I climb up to Opal's bed to see that starry landscape of the ceiling. It's so peaceful here. I love the town of the Guardians. It makes me feel at home with all the magic that happens here, all the different creatures. I love it.
I sigh and fall asleep on Opal's bed, the weight of the world resting on my shoulders. I know that I've been conceited and sometimes I do wish that I could let Opal help. But I don't know if I can.
I wake up a little bit when Opal and Kaitlynn come back in. Opal sees me in her bed and climbs up. I can tell that she smiles down at me as she spreads her blanket over me as I drift off to sleep. I'm so tired and I'm ready to sleep soundly for the rest of the night.
Of course I still have that meeting with the elf.
