Song : Cavetown. Pigeon.

I went to the library and continued reading a book I started with a while ago. The book was about dolphins. I really love these animals. I heard some noises coming from downstairs. I just listened and did nothing. I looked outside the window and saw the sun going down. It's was a beautiful sunset. No clouds just the sun. And I went back to my book. Then I realized it was getting dark so I should probably head downstairs as Isaac told me, so I did that. Isaac was waiting for me, looking uninterested "Finally you're here, drink the milk. I want to go to bed quick." He said, waving slightly at the milk resting on the table. I quickly nodded and drank it. Isaac quietly watched me and then headed upstairs, leaving me to swiftly follow him.

Eleanor's P.O.V

BEEP

I quickly silenced the alarm before it annoyed me any further, I softly groaned and rubbed my eyes. I slowly came out of bed, and I saw, to my surprise, Isaac still sleeping. I hesitated for a moment but decided to wake him up, I slowly walked over to him, unsure about how to wake him up without angering him. I finally decided to just softly shake him and hope he would wake up, and he did just that. He blinked harshly and looked up at me. At first he looked at little angry, but when he looked at the time he calmed down "Oh." He said softly "Go get dressed, I'll prepare breakfast." He said a bit louder and slightly shoved me towards the bathroom, before heading downstairs without waiting for my reply. I sighed and just did what he asked. Heading towards the bathroom. I quickly dressed myself, and looked in the mirror. I sighed at my reflection, I had grown a little pale lately. I should head outside more. I softly went downstairs. And sat at the dinner table. Isaac noticed me "Breakfast is almost done." He said, not bothering to look my way. I sighed "Okay.." I said and awkwardly looked around the room as if it was the most interesting thing ever, and not a lot later a plate with toast on it was placed in front of me "Eat." Isaac said simply, as he left the room. I awkwardly ate and brought the dishes to the kitchen. I grabbed some water for myself and patiently waited for him to come back. It didn't take long before he came back fully clothed. He looked at me and said "Get ready I'm bringing you to school." And I quickly replied "Alright, uhm Isaac I've been wanting to ask you something.." I asked. Isaac looked a bit annoyed at me but nodded "Did.. Did you kill that boy?" I softly asked, scared that I've angered him. I looked up and was surprised when I saw him grinning "You already know the answer." He calmly replied. I nodded and just left to get ready for school.

After Isaac dropped me off at school I went looking for Ashley again just to discover she wasn't here again, a sad sigh left my lips. The day seemed even longer without Ashley and I wondered where she could be. After the day was finally done, I waited outside for Isaac to arrive 'Great he's late.' I silently thought. I waited for a little while before he finally pulled up "Get in." He simple said. I quickly complied and got in, looking around uncomfortably. The ride back home was awkward and silent, barely anything being said. When we got back Isaac quietly went inside leaving me alone. I quickly followed Isaac inside and went upstairs, but halfway there Isaac called me "Eleanor wait, come here we need to talk.. Now." He said harshly. I nodded and followed him into the living room where we sat down. Isaac sighed and started talking "You've been really annoying me lately, it seems almost like you're doing it on purpose!" He said calmly. It scared me and I didn't know how to respond, apparently Isaac noticed that too "Answer me Eleanor!" He said loudly. I flinched and finally managed to find my voice again "I-I'm so sorry Isaac! I didn't do it on purpose!" I said softly. It didn't help "Stop stuttering and speak up for once!" Isaac said, I looked up at him and said again "I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose." I said a bit louder. Isaac rolled his eyes and said "Like I believe you, I'll need to give you some kind of punishment!" He said while looking me straight in the eyes, challenging me. I lowered my head and mumbled "What is the punishment?" I asked. I saw Isaac grinning from the corner of my eyes "You really like the books don't you? How about I throw them away?" He said, and I immediately looked up, my eyes widening. "You. You can't do that! Please!" I begged him, Isaac only grinned and stood up "Think of that next time before you piss me off." He said as he started to walk upstairs. I stood up, about to run after him before deciding against it, it would probably only make matters worse. I could only watch with tears in my eyes as Isaac brought my favorite books away and dumped them with the rest of the garbage outside. He turned around "Now, will you act better from now on?" He asked, I merely nodded, and turned around to walk inside. Isaac quickly catches up with me and said "Talk! With words!" I flinched away from him but said "Yes Isaac, I'll try not to annoy you anymore.." Isaac nodded and said "Good, now go inside." He said while shoving me in the direction of the door, I went inside and quietly went upstairs.

"Eleanor come downstairs." I heard Isaacs voice say, I quickly ran downstairs and saw that Isaac had prepared dinner "Go on eat." He said and sat down across of me and started eating. I sat down and started eating too, hoping that Isaac wasn't mad at me anymore "A- are you still mad at me Isaac?" I asked, a bit scared. Isaac shook his head "You've learned your lesson, Right?" He said, I quickly nodded and the rest of the dinner was quiet. After dinner Isaac looked at me and said "Go do something to amuse yourself and come back at dark for your milk." He said, and I nodded and stood up and went upstairs.

It was now dark outside, and as Isaac had told me I headed downstairs. I saw Isaac and went over to him. He handed me some milk and said "Drink it, love." Pushing my hands a little upwards. I drank the milk and gave Isaac the cup again, he took it and left to the kitchen "Go to bed, I'll be right there, I just need to finish cleaning some dishes." Isaac said "Alright Isaac.." I said and headed upstairs again without him. I readied myself for bed and laid down, I wanted to stay awake, but couldn't and before I knew I was sleeping.
