Aeron jolted awake, nightmares jarring her from her gentle slumber. She was drowsy, and unsure of where she was. She sat up straight in Anthony's bed panting as the realization of where she was hit her. She wondered what time it was, but she hadn't brought anything with her. Had they slept all day? Anthony's arm was still around her waist and she smiled down at him. He really was wonderful. She couldn't keep lying to him, but what choice did she have? For now she needed to just enjoy her time with him, at least when she was with him she could escape all the drama that was her life.

She probably needed to get home. She could play like she was ignoring her family for a while, but eventually they would realize she had left since they were familiar with her powers. She remembered being a kid, and showing off, trying to show her loved ones how special she was. The new powers she had obtained. She expected them to be delighted. But instead they were disgusted with her. She caused nothing but trouble since the day she was born.

Her mother had tried to dye her hair back blonde time after time and it would only stay for a few hours before the rich pinkish red came back full force. She was a special child, a gifted child. A cursed child. Her life would get significantly better when this was all over. She just had to keep telling herself that. It was already getting better, after all she had Anthony.

She decided to be cute and leaned down and kissed him gently, but passionately, to wake him. Her soft lips found his as she leaned over his sleeping form. She nuzzled his nose with her own, trying to gently wake him.

"I don't mean to wake you love," she said affectionately, "but I should probably check in at home before I get in more trouble," It was just about that time there was a knock on Anthony's bedroom door. Aeron's eyes narrowed knowing it was probably Jack.
