Making Decisions

After dinner, I slipped away to my cabin, changed and laid in bed. I needed to recap what just happened. I'm pretty sure everyone at camp knows about Lilly's plan because she actually sat next to her siblings. She hasn't done that since her new epiphany that she was Roman. For the past month she's been distant from her siblings and seemed to put them down whenever she could. Now, she's even cut me off. I began to nod off and was asleep after a little bit. I felt someone kiss my cheek after a while. I turned to see Fiona in her night gown was standing by my bed and looked like she was crying. I shook off the tiredness and stood up and hugged her. She just began to cry a little so I began to sing.

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

She calmed down and we sat down. I asked her what was wrong. She just hugged her knees and put her face down. I braided her hair and she didn't say a word to me. I finished braiding her hair and asked her what was wrong again. She just told me that she felt like leaving the campfire early.

"Fiona, something is bothering you," I said. I finished with her hair and she just sat there, her back turned to me.

"So you remember that you used to yell with Mom late at night?" she asked. I hadn't thought of my Mom since she got tried to kill us and I turned into the sun and turned her into ash. I did not want to think about what we ran away from.

"Yeah, I do. I thought you would be asleep," I admitted.

"Do you miss her?" she asked. I felt like something that was dipped in poison just stabbed me in the chest.

"No, not really. Is everything okay?" She put her head down and I got the message that she was not going to talk to me. "So you want to talk about it later?"

"Maybe. I'm tired," Fiona snapped. She laid down and fell asleep right away. I picked her up and tucked her in her own bed.

"I don't know what's going on. I never really do. I just knew I had to protect you," I whispered. I was to tired to do anything, so I went to bed.

Notes

I'm sorry this is so short, I had a little writers block and I didn't want to not update for. I promise the next chapter will be longer. Thanks for reading!
