The next day, Elle wondered if she was going to stay in the hostpital forever. She wasn't that hurt. She wasn't hurt at all! When Aryeons came in with some hot cocoa, Elle asked when she was going to leave.


"Well that depends..." said Aryeona.

"Depends on what?!" demanded Elle.

"Well, if you have any where to stay and if you are well or not," said Aryeons putting marshmellows in her cocoa.

"How did you know i had no place to stay?" asked Elle quietly.

Aryeona looked up at her with an expresionless face. Just as Elle thought she was going to say something, Cindy barged in with a plateful of cookies.

"Guess what i got?" she asked teasingly, "COOKIES!"

"Place them on the table, Cindy," laughed Aryeona and turned to Elle "Cindy loves cookies."

"I sure do!" yelled Cindy and placed four in her mouth and drank them all down with hot cocoa.

Aryeona laughed. Just then, Cindies' eyes barged open and she screamed with her mouth closed.

"I was gonna tell you," giggled Aryeona, "It's hot."

Cindy ran out of the room with her mouth closed extremely tight. Aryeona and Elle both laughed.

"Is she always like this?" laughed Elle.

"Only when she's happy," said Aryeona and looked down at Elle.

"What?" asked Elle.

"It's nothing," said Aryeona quietly, "It's just, you remind me of someone I used to know."

"Really?" asked Elle stuffing her face with a giant cookie "Who?"

"Just a friend..." said Aryeona slowly and helped herself to some cocoa.

That night, Elle overheard Aryeona and Cindy talking to the nurse.

"So your saying she can go home to night?" asked Cindy
.
"She is fine," said the nurse.

"Well," said Cindy slowly.

"One more night?" asked Aryeona.

"I seriously think that Elle should go straight home," said the nurse.

Elle looked at the shadows and saw that the Cindy figure was whispering something Aryeona's ear.

"Alright," said Aryeona slowly "I guess she should come home to night."

"Thats right," said the nurse and Elle saw her shadow walk into her office.

Just then, Aryeona and Cindy both walked in.

"I'm going home?" asked Elle hopeful that she can finally see Lily.

"Yeah," said Aryeona slowly and uncertaintly. She looked over to Cindy for support.

"Umm," said Cindy and Aryeona pushed her forward.

"You are coming home with us," said Cindy, also, uncertaintly.

Elle's smile vanished off her face. 'Live with them?' she thought. 'Who do they think they are?'

Before she knew what was happening, Elle, Aryeona and Cindy were walking in the freezing snow.
