“Sorry…. My hands are quite greasy and covered in metal dust so I didn’t think you wanted it to stain your phone.” Laci said, raising her hands to show.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I just never seen that. Thanks, by the way.” She nodded, flashing a quick smile. “It’s an interesting skill. Can come quite in handy, right?”

“-What? Sorry, I didn’t hear you come in…how do you think my hair looks?”

[xdaughterofirisx-archive]

“Oh, sorry I should have nocked harder.. You look pretty, I think it fits you really well.”

Caroline laughed, moving her hips to keep the hoola hop from falling. It was an easy task. “This is fun.” She exclaimed with a smile in her face.

He couldn’t help but smile a bit at her help. If nothing else, Caroline was definitely a little bit of sunlight passing through– enough to raise spirits a little bit. But still… “Being able to properly heal would be nice.”

Caroline nodded, she knew how nice it would be, she envied the gift deeply. “I know it would, but still, you are able to help, I think that’s enough you know? It’s great.”

“Care.... come sit next to me.” He turned and smiled at her, tapping the space next to him.

“Okay.” She smiled, walking towards the seat, she sat down. “Can you keep playing? Please?” She looked up at him.

“Leave me alone.” There was more steel in her voice than she’d meant, but she didn’t try to take it back.

[xdaughterofirisx-archive]

Caroline forgot what she wanted to ask when the girl spoke. The coldness in her voice made her back off a bit, her mouth half opened, ready to talk but not finding the words. She pointed to the door behind her, “Should, I.. uh, leave then?”

it’s just a spark but it's enough to keep me going – self para

Date: December 25, 2009 Place: Caroline’s old home. Recap: Caroline discovers her powers.

It was Christmas morning, people were cheering, some sang and some played, others prayed. Everyone seemed to be happy, content, they all felt loved and were grateful. Any other normal person would be happy but Caroline wasn't normal. She felt like an outcast, she was alone on the two-story house, her sitter was with her family and her father left for a trip. She was alone on Christmas, again. She could listen to kids laughing and parents cheering them on. Why couldn't she have that? Why did she have to be alone? Stuck in her house without friends or family or loved ones. The house was nearly as empty as her heart. Her eyes remained closed as she kept listening to the sounds that came from outside. Another car pulled up to her neighbors driveway. It seemed like they were having a good time. The small and pale girl sat under the window, the living room was pitched black, no lights were on, not even the fireplace. She was cold but she didn't care. Why would she?

Open your eyes, my child. Caroline's brown eyes flew open, where was she? Where was her mother? To her disappointment the room remained empty but now it wasn't pitch black. There was light all over the room, sparkling light and it all came from.. Her? She was doing this, she brought light to the room. A sad smile formed on her lips as she looked around the room, tears were building on her eyes. The voice had left her, she felt it. She was once again cold but now she didn't feel as sad. A soft sigh escape her lips as she stood up, the light moved around her, everywhere she went there was light. Her bare feet touched the cold wooden floor as she went towards the small Christmas tree, there were only two gifts there. One gift was for her father and another one was for her sitter, for her other mom, for her guardian. She touched the small light bulbs, in a blink of an eye they turned on as well. Her brows furrowed, how was she doing this? Was it all her? It's all you, my love. The angelic voice said, bringing a faint smile into the girls lips.

“You dropped your phone.”

[xdaughterofirisx-archive]

“Huh?” She looked at the girls foot, “Oh, thank you, thanks.” She took the phone a bit bewildered by the situation. “I didn’t realize I dropped it.”

Caroline watched from the bed, a wide smile played in her lips. She didn’t speak, not wanting to interrupt him. He looked so handsome when he was concentrating.

“Please. I’m fine. My hair is fine. Stop fussing, it’s just a photograph.”

[xdaughterofirisx-archive]

“Oh, right.” She dropped her hand, giving him an awkward smile. “I’m sorry, just wanted it stay down. Sorry.”

koritsiaera:

“Come ahead. Trouble? Not really sleeping, more like staying asleep. I just wake up every few hours for an hour or so until i fall back asleep, more annoying than anything really.”

She nodded, walking towards the bed, trying to not be as awkward as she felt. “Oh. Yeah. Props to being a demigod. Insomnia isn’t fun. Do you wake up by nightmares or just wake up suddenly?” Caroline understood the feeling, the first few months of her arrival she could barely sleep. Now she did, but it was because of how tired she was, the nightmares never really stopped.

While she was dancing she heard a voice at her doorway and startled and embarrassed, Aurora hastily slammed the buttons of her CD player until it finally stopped playing. she looked up nonchalantly and tried to regain her composure. She looked at the short blond girl in the doorway and grinned sheepishly. “Hey, How can I help you? If it’s about the music, I can keep it off if it was disturbing you?”

Caroline shook her head, feeling bad for interruping like that. “It didn’t bother me! Not at all. I’m not familiar with the song but it’s okay. I uh–-” Maybe she should’ve practice a backup plan, like a quick exit. Gods. It was hard, asking a favor for a stranger was just uncomfortable. “I have problem sleeping and was um, just, wondering.. If you could help? Is it too much to ask? I’m sorry.” The first words were a mess, she spoke quickly, but when she asked for help, well that part she understood herself, the rest, in her mind it was a jumbled mess.

[dobbyxthexbee-blog]

“Ah, I see.” He smiled. “Good, I’d be upset if you didn’t.”

[xdaughterofirisx-archive]

“Nothing I can’t handle.” She spoke softly, smiling as she nudged him. or tried to. “Hm, so would I.”

“–I mean… I can play guitar ‘nd all… I’m not nearly as good as some of my siblings. But at least I’m better at this than healing, so..”

[xdaughterofirisx-archive]

“Still, you’re talented and playing the guitar is a great skill. And you dance! See, talented.” Caroline wasn’t the best at making others feel better but she always tried, specially with Eli, she looked up at hi in a way. “And being able to heal a bit is better than nothing, believe me.”

@notbeck: I recently found out that Kyra's mother was a daughter of Iris.

@notbeck: This is fucking surreal.

@carebearx: @notbeck does that mean that kyra is my niece?
