The next morning the crew got up bright and early but unfortunately none of them had a good night's sleep.
Elisabeth had that terrible nightmare and woke up screaming, which also of course had awakened Noah, but he didn't mind it that much. He held her throughout the night and made sure that she was feeling at ease. He gave her a feeling of safety and warmth. Nothing could harm her while he was around.
Thalia of course had the midnight encounter with Assem after she had woken up at around 3 AM. Leaving her tent and watching the stars together with Assem was just the right distraction she needed and she was very grateful that the translator stayed by her side to keep her company and just have a fun little chat.
Assem was walking around camp calling everyone for breakfast. Elisa and Noah were the first ones to show themselves. Elisabeth was wearing dark blue dress pants, white blouse tucked into it, sleeves rolled up. Over the blouse she wore a bright yellow leather jacket, and short brown boots were resting on her feet. She wore her beautiful brown hair in a ponytail on her right shoulder, with her blue hat resting on her head. Her face had the slightest bit of makeup on it, which was quite unusual for her. Only the devilish red lip stood out.
Noah followed right behind her, wearing a white blouse with short sleeves, a yellow bow tie and light brown dress pants underneath. Long brown boots were on his feet and over his shoulder he carried a brown leather jacket this time. A little addition to his look was his black hat with a blue ribbon that was resting on his head. His pink hair was hidden a bit underneath it, but one of his pink locks came out and slightly covered his left eye a little.
Not even two seconds had passed as Thalia came walking out of her tent. She started to stretch a little bit and smiled at the feeling of sunlight gently caressing her skin. She was wearing a black lace top just like the night before, but this time she wore some light blue jeans that fitted her curvy body perfectly. Over the black top she wore her red leather jacket, sleeves rolled up. On her feet she no longer wore her heels. No, the heels made way for knee-high brown yellowish boots. Her flaming red hair was tied together in a messy high ponytail. Some locks were framing her face making her storm like eyes stand out even more. Her time turner rested around her neck, as usual. Just like Elisa, her make-up was very little. Her red lipstick was gone and had been replaced with a soft pink colour.
"Good morning guys!" Thalia started as she approached the couple's tent and greeted them.
"Did you both get a good night's rest?" she asked, while tilting her head to the side in curiosity.
Elisabeth let out a deep sigh and started shaking her head a little bit as she kept her gaze on the sandy ground beneath her feet.
"Unfortunately not, Thalia. Nightmares kept me awake. You might've heard me screaming in the middle of the night, huh?" Elisa said, clearly a bit ashamed of herself.
It was never her intention to have woken anyone up in the first place. Deep down she really hoped she hadn't, but the chance that no one heard her was as small as a single grain of sand in this whole desert.
Noah started to nod in agreement as he gently took Elisa's hand in his and gave it a loving squeeze to comfort her.
"We both didn't get too much sleep.." he muttered, before he started yawning a little bit.
Elisabeth immediately glanced at him and opened her mouth to apologize, but Noah quickly shook his head a bit and threw a warm smile her way.
"Yeah I heard you tonight, I thought something had happened, but I assumed that Noah had it covered already. Well at least I can agree on the fact that I didn't get much sleep either." Thalia said, rather quickly, before she continued talking a little.
