“MOM!” Diana can hear up the stairs, through the thin walls. Her daughter, Scarlet, stomps up the creaky wooden stairs, careful to skip the missing step. Diana calls exasperatedly, “In here, Scarlet.” Slamming the door open, Diana’s eleven-year-old daughter storms across the small, cozy room, coming to a stop at her mother’s queen-sized bed. A tear sheds from Scarlet’s hazel eyes, her auburn hair falling across her fair face. Dread seethes through Diana’s veins, fear rising from the pit of her almost-anorexic stomach. “Scarlet, what is it? Talk to me,” she pleads. The child’s mouth twists into a grimace as she mumbles, “Josh told me the reason you don’t spend time with me anymore is because-because you don’t love me.” Diana’s heart constricts. Seventeen-year-old Josh, Scarlet’s first crush, their next-door neighbor, told Scarlet her mother had forgotten about her, that she means nothing to Diana? Scowling, Diana pats the space next to her on the warm bed, ignoring the pain; she’s too sick to feel angry now. All she feels is sorrow… and dread for what she needs to tell her baby, her happiness.

“This morning. You had told me you needed to talk to me after breakfast?” The princess frames the sentence as a question, as if maybe she was wrong about her and Dayna’s exchange this morning. “Oh. Yes, but I think we should take a walk first,” Dayna says somberly. The ailing queen is aware of her inconvenient stalling, for she is still identifying exactly what she will convey to her cherished daughter. Thus, Dayna and Sienna gradually made their way toward the elegant flower garden, Sienna attempting to make small talk with her mother every so often, but gave up when she realized just how distracted Dayna had been for the last few
I haven’t thought about my old town in years, and here I am in front of my childhood home preparing myself for what I might see when I walk through this door. As I reached for the handle, the door swung open practically hitting me in the face. Astonished, I stood there utterly astonished. What made me even more surprised was the person opening the door…”Miss Caroline?” She seemed to have not realized me and ran off in a hurry. Least to say that really took my mind off of the whole situation of my father dying.
Sara, 18-years-old youth, always wish to be alone. She would lock herself in her room, looked at herself in the mirror and spit venom at her reflection. Then she would curled up on her bed, with her blanket covering all of her - her body, soul and mind - as a defence mechanism to block herself away from the darkness that are slowly consuming her. A few months after she thought that it went away, it came back. She fought hard to conceal its presence.
William, Rachel’s three year old son is crying standing over her as she is slowly regaining consciousness.

So you know how I was praying for a strict and safe place? Well that didn't happen. Actually it was more of a turnaround. Do you know how frightening a Cyclops is? Well I doubt you would. Yes dear, I know, this sounds very snobby and annoying. I don't mean to be, I was and still am in shock. We entered his cave and started having his food. We didn't know a gigantic creature like him lived there. So then he walks in all angry and then he actually took one of our men and ate him! Believe me it wasn't delightful to watch.

“You stupid bitch,” she said as she stood in front of the grave stone crying, her voice cracking, “Why didn’t you listen to me?” Anna felt like her heart had shattered. She should have stopped her, she shouldn’t have let her put that needle in her arm; she was supposed to be watching Melody. She fell to her knees and remembered the funeral.
The broken family falls asleep together on the slight futon taking up the majority of the cramped space the room has to offer. Diana was right; Scarlet does understand why the simple bedtime story brought waves of panic coursing through her veins. Please, she prays, don’t take Mommy away from me, God. I’ll do anything.

She didn't quite clarify when she would and I don't want to be caught off guard if Natasha gets upset. Tracy props up a chair right next to me which makes me huff out of annoyance.
