They can see us, but do they know?

Ho-bag 300+   There had always been something scary about water. Rain was alright (although she preferred the sun!), but lakes, streams and other deep sources of water scared her. The girl did only have to think back at the day with Ocèane and the incident by the river to feel a goose bump embrace her. It was odd how quickly the child managed to let go of horrible things. The mean man that had hurt her was almost forgotten, but the way it had been shuffled away was not good. It was as it had not happened at all, but the girl had yet to meet any other stranger that did not belong in Aniwaya. Fear found her quicker these days when she was on her own, but that did not keep her from running about. It was soon time for bed, but the girl had spent a lot of the day napping, so she was still full of unused energy. The darkness had made its entrance and she could see the first twinkles of barely visible stars. The girl disliked the darkness, but her fascination for the shining things up in the sky managed to somehow ruin the terror. It was so pretty. Once she had even seen a star that moved rapidly across the sky. It had been weird, because most of them just stayed at their spots and winked down at her. Preettyyyy. The gentle melodic sound from the water not far from her was also dulled down by her fascination. Darkness and water, her two worst enemies were not so bad once the focus on them lacked. The golden eyed child killed a quick yawn, wondering when her mother would start worrying about her whereabouts. It shouldn’t be a big deal if the girl was a bit late with going to bed. Noir Aston was very close to a wonder child, and she never did anything wrong on purpose, so her mother had never had much trouble with the tan little daughter. Tayui was probably hunting down Attila anyways. Her brother was such a funny boy, and he hated going to bed, so he had hid from their mother more than once so that he would not have to go to bed.
