Reminisce Through Words [Ellyse//open]]

[Cascade Avalon]

Cascade silently entered the Mess Hall, immediately spotting Ellyse. She plopped down across from the table Ellyse sat at. Even though there were campers, she felt rather alone. Having her half-sister sit across from her was like an honor-assurance that she wasn't alone. Pausing her music and taking out her earphones, she offered Ellyse a small smile. The first smile. Ellyse was breathing heavier than usual, probably because what started out as a slow jog turned out to a full out sprint due to too much excitement. It was rather comical, so Cascade let out a chuckle. The first laugh. Cascade looked up into her sister's big blue eyes and smiled. She hoped that with her sister, she could share many more smiles with others, even if she wasn't doing it right.

Clearing her throat, Cascade began pouring out her past to Ellyse, bit by bit. Her sister would be the one she could rely on to listen to her and such, because Ellyse was such a pure-hearted sweetheart. She took out her sketchbook to help out with her words, because her English stumbled a little bit. She drew images of darkness with figures fighting, and tried to explain in her second language what was happening. Living with her Chinese mother made her speak Chinese before English; after all, her father couldn't exactly...be around.

She looked up briefly from her sketchbook to make eye contact with Ellyse and assess her reactions. Looking down at her sketchbook again, she was surprised to see food right in front of her. Furrowing her brows, she was also astonished by her ability to suddenly feel so many emotions. There was something about Ellyse that just, well, calmed her. She felt at her best when she was around her sister. Beginning on another sketch, she blocked out the world after recently experiencing it.

Ellyse's chest heaved slightly as she took in deep yet quick breaths. She frowned when she realized that she hadent run with her but, she brushed it off. She smiled to herself as she saw her sister walked towards her. The hall was loud and filled with campers and sayters jabbering away. When her sister sat by her and smiled she smiled back. She suddenly realized it was the first smile she had seen on her face since she came back. Then she even laughed. "What's so funny?" she inquired jokingly.

Ellyse sat back and listened intently as Cascade told her the story of what had happened. She gasped at all the right bits. On the inside she was furious, how could someone do this to her sweet sister? She immediately thought of hundreds of ways to get back at them. She made a mental note to help her with English later as she stumbled. Ellyse gazed sadly at the pictures. She shuddered inwardly as she thought of what her sister had went through. No child of her age should of had to go through that, not any child actually.

"Thsnkyou for telling me this," she told her sister in her British accent. She looked down to see that the food had appeared. She immediately shoveled some greek pizza onto her plate. She brought her enchanted golden cup closer to her and told it to fill up with root beer, her favorite drink. She smiles at but, before she even took a sip she got up and took her plate and started to heads toward the alter. This time she stopped and waited for her sister to catch up.

Cascade reluctantly nibbled at her pizza, but although her stomach was empty, she didn't have much of an appetite. She watched as her sister scarfed down her own pizza and recalled Ellyse's stomach growling. The thought made her chuckle once more. Cascade didn't want to eat, so instead she drank from the golden goblet. Fruity liquid drained down her throat-she didn't have a favorite drink, but she did like fruits.

Watching Ellyse stand up, she put her goblet down and did the same, tailing behind her sister. She only felt safe around her for now, but gradually and secretly she hoped she'd open up to others.
