Eagle Crest Hallows [2]

Jace

Frowning, I look away and shake my head at her. Silent treatment? Two can play at that game...

Rayah

"Time for bed," I say to Logan and Riley. They frown and race upstairs as I pass Jace without a problem, walking upstairs after them.

Spoiler

Wouldn't it be best to cut to the next day?

Azrael

I walked along the dark streets, lamplight casting pale shadows. Causally, I summoned tendrils of fog from the air, the mist snaking down into the streets. I liked mist... it has a scenic effect to it.
So the parents had been reluctant to place their children in danger. Wise of them... unfortunately, it hindered my plans. If any of my enemies got their hands on the two... I shivered.
Well, new day, new hopes. I decided that, if they didn't call me, I would call them,
With that, I opened a portal and stepped into the Spirit Realm

Jace

I watch them leave, smiling inwardly at the childishness of the game, before standing and looking at the couple.

"You two are welcome to stay," I say, "I doubt there will be any yelling tonight."

That being said, I walk up the stairs and change into pajamas, laying in bed and closing my eyes without a glance in Rayah's direction.

Rayah

After singing the kids to sleep, I walk out of their room and close the door. When I walk into mine, Jace is on the bed. I sigh and don't look at him, Grabbing a pillow and blanket while walking downstairs to prevent further contact.

Jace

I chuckle when she leaves the room, sitting up and shaking my head.

Seriously?

Rayah

I slam the door when I walk out and walk downstairs, plopping down on the couch while playing a game on my phone, completely clearing Jace out of my mind.

Jace

I sigh and look at the door for a few moments before deciding she won't be back up. Laying back down, I close my eyes and shake my head.

Rayah

After playing on my phone, I turn it off and throw it on it's charger. I lay down and run my hand through my hair, closing my eyes and turning on my side.

Jace

I sprawl out in case she decides to come back up, making it look like I don't miss her. Truth be told, I do, but isn't cruelty like this part of the game.

Rayah

I start to hear footsteps around the house and I bolt upwards, swallowing.

What the...

I stand, leaning against the wall in a watch, yawning. The footsteps get closer and I squeeze my eyes shut, thinking I'm just imagining it.

Jace

I hear footsteps around the house, but think nothing of it, assuming it's just Rayah. Sighing, I try and fall asleep.

Rayah

Someone touches my leg and I scream. I look down and see Logan, backing away, "Momma, I had bad dreams." I sigh and run a hand over my face, "I'll be up in a second." I breathed.

Jace

Something touches my shoulder and I freak out, jumping up and falling off the other end of the bed. I swear and try and calm down, finding Riley giggling at me.

"Gods, baby girl, why did you do that?" I whisper, shaking my head.

"Lo left me," She pouts, waddling over to me, "He went to Mommy. W-why isn't Mommy up here?"

I flash a smile as she plops down on my lap.

"'Cause Mommy wanted to be downstairs," I tell her, "Why did Lo leave you?"

She shrugs and I sigh, picking her up and sitting on the edge of the bed.
