Anthrax - Safe Home
At home Lenore was still there, now in a group conversation with Aaron and Isaac as the taxi arrived and Ingun and Natalie came back from the edge of the forest.
"Yeaahaw! I want to ride a horse!" Ingun said and imitated a horses neigh. Natalie didn't know what to say to that. As far as she could tell, her sister hadn't been particularly interested in horses. Atleast not anymore than any young girl going through their "horse phase" will do, so she took it for an exclamation of happiness, and surely Natalie was also very glad to have her sister home with her.
Once inside Inguns eyes were wide open and confused, as if she had just appeared somewhere and didn't know where she was, and poor Natalie had to check if the kids or someone else had left the stove on. Just to make sure it wouldn't catch fire.
Ingun knew where she was though, she just had one of her memory lapses on the way in from the taxi.
The sisters are very different, but they also have their similarities.. Ingun has to check the oven as well, even though Natalie just checked it...
And of course, both of them also work with cooking at The Zombie Restaurant, so it is not that strange that once Ingun begins to relax a little more they turn to discuss work and cooking recipes. Inguns life time wish is to be a master chef. That is her biggest joy in life, of which she hasn't had to many of.
Aaron is telling a story to Lenore about a pair of winged creatures that love each other very much. In good days and in bad days...
Natalie reassures Ingun that she will be safe here, and that there isn't anything to worry about. "I'll have your back, sister" she says.
Ingun feels reassured and continues to talk about cooking, it is indeed her main interest..
Billy is outside telling a ghost story to absolutely noone as a stray cat runs by..
Oy, kitty where are your heading?
Meow, meow, meow, says the kitty as it stops and stares at the door. Unfortunately I don't speak cat language, so I can't translate..
Aaron comes outside, but he walks right by the cat, because he wants to sleep in the treehouse.
The cat walks over to listen to what is left of Billys ghost story while wagging is tail at him. The cat then runs around a bit, but it doesn't want to leave the lot.
Then it walks over to investigate the treehouse where Aaron is sleeping. *purr* *purr* it says, and I still can't translate. :P It stands there for a while, before it finally runs off.
Billy, Lenore and Isaac have now gathered upstairs in Isaacs room. Billy tries to scare Lenore by telling of dreadful things from the forest, but Lenore is completely unphased.
Billy: Hi, lady... can you read me a bedtime story?
Natalie hasn't introduced them to each other, so he doesn't actually know her name..
"Oh, s-sure, I'll be more than happy to that" she says. "I am Ingun, your aunt and Natalies sister. Whats your n-name?" Billy tells her his name, and they go to Natalies bedroom.
Ingun is not so shy and timid anymore already, now that she is in a home where she can feel safe and good.
She still has a few struggles, though.
Lenore finishes her last bit of homework. Natalie is happy that she came over to visit, and tells her she is more than welcome any time she wants. It makes Natalie feel good that Aaron has made a friend from school. Ingun has a brief thought of wanting to see someones ghost... "I like you better dead..."
Eventually it gets late, and Lenore has to go home.
This is actually the first time I have seen Natalie use the tv set. She is not watching in its direction though. Her head is instead turned towards Isaac, waiting outside the bathroom to use the toilet, because Ingun is occupying it, alternating between talking to herself and feeling happy...
Isaac gave up the waiting, and went to bed.."Aunt Ingun is acting a little strange" he thinks "Why is everyone in my family so weird?"
"First time I'm using the tv, and then it breaks" Natalie laments, while she locks her elbow around Inguns arm.. The sisters like to be close.
Natalie shares her concerns to Ingun about things catching fire. "I am still afraid of these ghosts and demons" she says. "I don't want them to come back here and set things on fire again.."
Ingun still doesn't understand where this talk of ghosts and demons come from, but tries her best to comfort her sister, like she comforts her. "I am sure it will b-be alright" she says. "We d-did get that protection from that w-witch from the f-forest."
Natalie: Elisa. Her name is Elisa, and she is a magician.
As Aaron is sleeping outside in the treehouse, and Billy is downstairs in Natalies bed, Ingun gets the room with the bunk bed all to herself on her first night in the house. Sweet dreams!
Umm, well, seems like Aaron the night owl wasn't sleeping. He had awoken, fully rested to play in the treehouse instead...
And Bianka just finished practicing chess on her own, and is now looking pretty pissed off... Its way past bedtime and Ingun hasn't come back home yet...
