Before he falls asleep, he hears the door closing with a beep and a metalic cling. In fact, all doors do this.
Ethan couldn't sleep very well that night, he was twisting and turning. His emotions are going on overdrive and he has a hunger which keeps him up most of the night. If he falls asleep, it's only for about two hours before he wakes up and stares at the ceiling for another hour.
The door buzzes and it makes the same metallic sound it did the night before. Did they really lock them up all night? Anyway, Ethan wakes up because of this. He lays on his back and stares at the ceiling once more.
When he turns on his side, he sees his sketchbook laying on the bed with pencils scattered around it.
He doesn't remeber sketching anything so he raises an eyebrow. He picks it up and looks at the page it lays on.
A portrait of Blake? Why?
He looks through it and sees portraits of people he doesn't know and yet they look so familiar...
He turns another page and sees a drawing of a house. It's beautiful, it's large but not too big. It has a garage and a front porch with the same people he doesn't recognize. What does this mean? Is this some twisted trick?
He turns more pages and sees faces of a group of what looks like friends. A set of twins, a boy with white hair and another boy but with blond hair. Who are all this people? He can't have sketched this before because his sketchbook was empty, he knows that for sure. What was going on last night?
He lays it down confused. Blake he knows, but those other people?
He shakes his head and gets up. He walks straight to the bathroom and takes a cup of water before taking some more and chucking them down one by one. He is thirsty like he has never been before and water doesn't seem to help that much.
Ethan then takes a shower and gets dressed into black jeans, a black shirt and a red jacket.
Someone knocks on his door and he looks at it. "Who is it?"
"Me!" A sweet and giggly voice awnsers.
Ethan can't help but smile as his eyes turn bright blue for a second. "Come in!"
Blake opens the door "Goodmorning~" she says and looks around. "Could use some more colour..."
Ethan snickers "maybe, but not like your room. It's nice, but a bit too much if it was my room."
She blushes a bit "so it's true then? You brought me there?"
He nods "couldn't have left you sleeping in the dining hall, now could I?"
She nods slowly "yeah... Thank you." She smiles at him and the grins "Mary and Jace said that when you're done with your training, we can spend the rest of the day together."
Ethan smirks "sounds good. I'm hungry though, want to grab breakfast?"
She nods quickly "yes!" She says and the grins "carry me?"
He snickers "um... Ok. Hop on."
Blake goes on her tip toes and lays her hands on his shoulders. Her touch is warm and soft causing Ethan to shiver a bit. Blake jumps and wraps her arms around his upper chest and her legs around his torso. "Go on! Walk! I'm hungwy~"
He nods and starts to walk while holding her legs. They walk through the halls and into the dining hall.
Blake meanwhile laid her head on his shoulder which caused Ethan to smell her hair. It smells sweet, like chocolate?
