Me and Eda stayed in her room a long while, Alex tried to come in saying he was bored, but Eda quickly shut him down.

She looks uncomfortable, I tried pulling it out of her but she just shook her head, mumbling something about 'perv'. Leaning my head back it hits her collarbone, we were watching videos on 'penstagram', she looks down and chuckles "comfortable?"
Nestling into her front I giggle, "you know.. if you keep on doing that I might think you're asking for a kiss."
Looking at her innocently l proceed to push myself closer. She chuckles about something, probably us not being girlfriends and that I'm doing that. It's all playful since she rests her head on mine and closes her eyes.

"What did my brother say?-" I ask suddenly to break the silence, my voice firm and unmoving.
She sighs and looks off to practically nothing, "he's just a pervy eighteen year old with no sense of age limitations.. he's been hitting on me the whole time and I've been trying to get your attention so you can take me away."

I curl up to her and wrap an arm around her front, my current emotion more than angry.
She looks at me with worry and.. something else, I bite my lip in irritation. A knock hits the door.

  
After dinner I take mamá outside to see the view, she seems in awe.
I slap away a fairy with a fearful 'hahhggh' type noise, she starts slapping my arm to get me to look at a griffin. Swiftly saying "get that girl- get that girl. You can go to school here- this is an actual dream."

A door swiftly opens, Eda is looking pissed, gold eyes flickering flames.
She turns around to give Alex the full middle finger, "dude! How many times do I have to flirt with your sister to get it in your head?!- I. Like. Girls! Stop hitting on me!"
I grab Eda by her right arm with my own right hand, pulling her behind me. The boy may be taller and older than me.. but I as the only biological Noceda.. I've somehow held the title of 'elder sister' even if I'm the youngest.
Being suddenly dragged away I find myself under a tree, mamá by now has gone to tell papá to probably call in Alex.

I'm being spun around, Eda glancing at the ever so annoyingly persistent(still approaching) Alex before mumbling, "In the long run I apologize.. but, don't make me regret my first.."
My lower back pulls into an arch as her arms wrap around my waist, my hands on her shoulders to stabilize myself. My eyes widen when I realize what her 'first' means, soft lips drowning my mind in euphoria as they kiss mine. My hand that was on the side of her neck slides to be just above the hollow dip in the middle of her collarbone, my eyes literally fluttering closed.

My heart pounds in my face, my lips, ears, forehead and in the top of the throat.
I tried exhaling calmly when she pulled away, but I was so breathless I gasped in a slightly high pitched tone. My mind was swimming in an overload of serotonin and star struck feelings, somehow her already golden eyes grew brighter. My face felt fuzzy from the blush it held, before my mind could process what I was doing I cupped her face, causing her to resume the previous kiss.
My hands tangled into her hair all on their own, I didn't even realize until I was away again, mouth breathing in lundfulls of air. "Are.. you okay?" Eda whispered, nervously.

"I-I'm gay." Was what slipped out, she snickers a blush on her cheeks "don't you mean good?"
I shake my head immediately "no- that too but, no. I am.. um- girls." My heart continuously restarts in my chest, Eda is looking at me wide eyed. Her hands that are still on my waist let her fingers drum against my sides, trying to figure out what to say.
"Didn't know I mastered the art of cupid. Did um.. you like it?"

I sigh with small giggles "would my fingers be tied up in your hair? Would I have done any of my reactions.. if I didn't?"
Detangling my fingers I feel myself hug her neck, sighs running over my body as I smile. I mumble to her that she's shaking, she scoffs, chuckles then playfully tells me to shut up. I do so without a problem, her face buries into my neck, the smile she had on her lips permanently drilling in my mind. I felt like my world had simultaneously super nova-d and big banged in one fluid motion. I turn my head when I hear papá call my full name angrily, burying just my mouth in her shoulder I giggle loudly as I watch mamá reassure him that it's fine.

Eda wraps an arm around my shoulder, saying with a smirk "let's go inside and have some apple blood. Mom just got a couple jugs while we were away."
Nodding I lean my head into her shoulder and smile the brightest I'd ever felt. Walking past my family mamá gives two thumbs up with a giddy smile. Walking into the house Eda heads to the kitchen while I to the living room, Gwen sits down and smiles, I nonchalantly fill her in about my brother being a perv- but not the kiss that'd happened.
I apologize heavily for his manners all to which gaining a laugh and a short 'boys will be boys..'

Eda walks in and hands me a mug, the apple blood steaming a little, cinnamon sprinkled on top.
Taking a sip my lips form into a content smile, "mm.. it's like apple cider."
Mamá and papá sit down on the chairs, alex on the ground since I was pressed against Eda sipping my apple blood 'cider'. Leaning forward I say with an excited expression "mamá try this! It's just like abuelita's cider."

Taking the mug a moment she takes a sip before handing it back to me, "it's rich but.. oddly thick. What is that called?"
Eda leans back, taking a small drink. "It's caused apple blood, it has more the flavor of peach than apple though. It's literally what it's name suggests." Mamá chuckles softly, standing up since I'd practically inhaled mine I head to the kitchen. Washing out my mug I set it on the counter, I look to my left to see the exact girl I know is behind me, I look up into her eyes since she is quite a few inches taller than me.

Leaning against the counter as her cup fills with water she looks into the hallway, I gaze out the window to see the moon at its fullest, I pull Eda's overflowing mug out and wipe it down. Setting the mug next to my own I shut the water off, a warmth radiates into my side.
I turn to look a little then resume looking outside, a voice enters the room, it's Dell.. Gwen's husband. "Having your own personal reveries together girls?" I turn around and happily accept his hug, "you two seem closer. Did you two..?"

Eda looks away with a heavy blush, covering my mouth I look a bit to the ground. "I thought so.. I'm happy for you two."
Then exits the room after getting water. I lean my head back and mumble a noise, Eda's face emerges from my peripheral vision with a smile. Running my finger down the bridge of her nose I put my fingertips to her lips, whispering a short 'I don't think so miss needy' before heading to go back to the living room, I almost scream when her strong arms wrap around my waist and playfully drag me back into the room.
I spin around with an irritated look but that all fades when she kisses me, I let myself give in, eyes closing. My hands hesitantly pat her shoulders, "o-okay, Okay- enough." She shrugs, leaning in with a smirk. "Eda I'm serious."

Pulling away she walks out of the room, turning back to look at me. "You coming?"
I roll my eyes and chuckle "as if I'd let my brother be anywhere near mi amor." I give a sudden yelp when she pins me against the counter, palm making a thud on the wood. "So.. persistent. You call me that and I haven't even asked you out yet."

I feel myself let loose a devilish grin, my heart beating quickly but my emotions telling to flirt harder. "Ay que lindo, mi amor.. how you act as if you have."
I snake my way out from her cage Eda raises an eyebrow before calling papá's name, he comes in with a smile "si Eda?" I exit the room to rejoin everyone else while papá obviously teaches Eda Spanish. Sitting down in my spot at the couch I look at Gwen as she speaks, explaining how my education will be here. According to the emperor 'Caleb Wittibane' he's integrated an up to date AND authentic view of American history since the dude is four hundred plus years old, keeping himself alive with the magical compounds in the Titan's bone marrow rather than what his brother tried doing..

His brother Philip was a fool, killing innocent palisman to try and stay immortal. It did work according to Caleb, but because he got so addicted to the magical 'ambrosia' Caleb calls palisman blood.
It caused his death since being cut off a few weeks of it the palisman souls took over his body and freed themselves. 'Freed' as in meaning killing Philip, then absorbing themselves into the bodies of their true owner or descendent of.

It was unique to know that Caleb regularly visits the exact actually large town I live in, Gravesfield, Connecticut.
I look over to see Eda looking irritably at me, I know exactly why. She doesn't even sit on the couch, just cross legged on the floor with also crossed arms. She scoots away when I lightly brush my foot against her leg, I sigh and set my head in my hand, my eyes closing.

  
It was well past mamá and papá- plus Alex were gone, Eda was still silent. Standing up I head upstairs and into my room, my breath escaping in a sigh as I rub my face.
Pulling on pajama shorts and a loose fitting tshirt I lay on the bed, I open my eyes to see Eda walking in. Laying in front of me she mumbles 'sorry..' before looking into my eyes. I chew at the inside of my cheek, trying to find a way to answer. "You hold grudges too easily Eda. It's almost like you're still in class."

I pull her hair away from her face, she grabs my hand and mumbles "I wish you could go to Hexside with me.."
I chuckle softly and watch my hand being fondled with "soon.. in a couple days. I still need a helpful someone to give me the tour."

I feel myself exhale in surprise as she scoots down and hugs my waist, her cheek pressed against my stomach. I lean down and set my hand on the top of her head "I hope you know that you are a pretty loveable but clingy goofball Eda."
She mumbles something in Spanish before closing her eyes, I chuckle softly before trying to adjust a little.

  
Struggling, heavy breaths and painful whines wake me up, I look down to see Eda feathering up.
Claws digging into the mattress, setting my hand on her shoulder as I sit up I pull her close. "Eda.. wake up." I murmur into her ear, she stirs a little. Shaking her shoulder I repeat her name, she wakes up with a loud gasp.

Her body covers in feathers, her eyes threatening to black out. Sliding open my top drawer on the dresser I pull out an elixir, she nearly rips it out of my hand to chug it down. Panic in every movement she makes, I sit there patiently, letting her do her thing.
The feathers fade back into her body, I feel myself smile. She slowly looks into my own eyes, then down to the cuts I'd just noticed. And another night Eda plays doctor.. she this time, had to stitch a gash closed, constantly apologizing as I winced. What made it a bad wound was that it was over a previous scar.. my oil burn one.. and the stitches wouldn't stick.

Eda suddenly presses me into her and summons a magic ring around the gash, searing pain runs through my body, nerves on fire making every muscle in my abdomen convulse. I was choking on a silent scream, my body in so much pain I couldn't even begin to think about making a sound.
Digging my nails into her shoulders my eyes pour tears onto her shirt, when she finishes the spell then do I finally sob.
Hands gripping her shirt as I bury myself as much as I can into her, her tears drip onto my skin, her whole mannerism revealing she's in a lot of mental pain that she had to use that painful healing spell on me.
I run my hand along her cheek, trying to make her a bit happier. I lift up my shirt and see the new scar blend in well with the older one, I pull her into a tight hug, she frowns into my shoulder as I breathe in pained heavy breaths.

She looks down at me as I close my eyes, my hands gripping her shirt. She tries to pry herself out of my arms but I stop her, "please.. stay."

My eyes open to look up at her, "let.. me go to the bathroom first, then I will." I slowly nod and let her go, she stands up and exits the room.
I sit up cross legged and wait, wait...wait.
Just when I was thinking about going to bed my door opens, I look up to smile at my golden eyed wonder. She sits at the corner of the bed, making my way to her I cup her cheeks. Kissing her forehead I make my way down, to her cheek then finally her lips.

Eda makes a soundless gasp, just a swift inhale of air. "Camilla.." she mumbles as I part, I raise an eyebrow "I could hurt you.."
Setting my forearms on her shoulders I cock my head and sigh "if I get to light up your face each time I walk into the room, that's a risk I'm willing to take Edalyn Clawthorne." She suddenly smiles, laying down she takes me with her
I set my chin on her collarbone and say in a tired mumble, "please don't disappear in the morning.."

But before I could hear her response my mind fades to subconscious.
