Whoa look another chapter! ^_^
Am I supposed to say I don't own any of this? Coz really why would I be
here if I did?
The Voices of the Night
That night Alyssa lay awake in the bed and could hear the muffled voices coming from the living room. Part of her wanted to stay in the comfy bed, but Alyssa was yearning to hear what the voices were saying. Slowly she crept down the stairs, stopping near the bottom and looking through the banister. Lorelai, Luke and Rory sat on the couch, the TV was on but was turned down to a low whisper and they were talking.
"... probably why she was left here" Rory said.
"Yeah" Lorelai
"I don't understand. My cousin always seemed like the caring person" Luke stared off into space, a hurt look etched into his face.
Lorelai put her arm around him "don't worry..." she yawned "we'll sort everything out. But now it's late, and I have to stop by work tomorrow and all"
Rory agreed "School work, diner man. Sleep"
Luke stood up stretching as Rory made her way to her room "Night mom, Night Luke"
"Night Hon" Lorelai said, stretching she noticed a small body creep up the stairs Alyssa she thought and smiled at how she reminded her of herself at that age, particularly of when her parents found out she was pregnant. She and Chris sitting on the stairs listening to their parents discuss their future. This was almost the same, Alyssa sitting on the stairs listing to her... parents? parental figures talking about her.

Alyssa sat by the window in her room watching the tree's flow in the gentle morning breeze, the trees she thought were a lot like her bending and twisting to the way they are pushed and then there was the small one; looking so small and weak but perhaps being the strongest. Something made Alyssa want to hug that small tree standing amongst all the others but looking so lonely. Quietly she put on her coat and slipped out of the room towards the stairs, on passing Lorelai's room she could hear her mumble some incoherent words in her sleep. Down the stairs and now Alyssa stopped by Rory's room, she looked so peaceful, like an angel Alyssa thought as she made her way to the back door. It was locked, but with a little poking and pushing it opened. The cool of fall enclosed itself around Alyssa as she left the house, clutching her coat tightly she ambled towards the smaller tree and wrapped her arms around it closing her eyes. Standing there for sometime Alyssa felt a small flame of happiness light inside her however this was blown out as the bitter cold engrossed her body forcing her to return to the house.
Back inside Alyssa felt at loss with what to do, she was incredibly tired as she had hardly slept that night but couldn't go back to sleep. Without the sounds or bustles of Rory and Lorelai the house felt bare and daunting. Sighing she decided to go back to the window but this time not hers but Lorelai's. Curling up on the window seat her back against the wall Alyssa watched the small town as it slowly awoke accompanied by the sounds coming from Lorelai. Eventually Alyssa started to feel drowsy; she crawled off the window seat and curled up at the end of Lorelai's bed, comforted by the sounds of her sleep she drifted off.
Rory was awake surprisingly early for a Sunday morning as it was almost impossible for her to sleep since her mind was running so fast with thoughts of Alyssa. The thing that surprised Rory was that when she thought of Alyssa she thought of the sister she had always wanted but kept it quiet due to the conditions of her birth and Lorelai's constant hop from guy to guy.
Alyssa she thought poor girl there is was one obvious conclusion, Alyssa was abused by someone, her mother perhaps, and then left here for someone else to look after. Something inside Rory told her that this wasn't right, that there was one factor that they hadn't accounted for and that was most likely staring them in the face. Rory sighed and looked at her clock, 8:45... early but not to early for coffee. She decided to make some coffee to wake up Lorelai with. Stumbling into the kitchen Rory tied the strap on her robe noticing how cold the room felt, putting the coffee on the situation with Alyssa entered Rory's mind once again but this time she pushed it away thinking that what would happen would happen and in the meantime she would love having a 'sister'.
The smell of coffee infatuated Lorelai's dream, it was enough to make anyone wake up and she was no exception. Lorelai pushed her eyes together willing herself to fall back to sleep however the coffee smell had invaded this world too.
"Wake up sleepy head" a voice whispered.
"Rory" Lorelai grumbled as she checked the clock "its 9:15 what kind of sane person is up before 11 on a Sunday??"
"They type that have to drop by work on a Sunday" Rory smiled pushing a cup of coffee into Lorelai's hand.
"I've trained you well" Lorelai accepted the cup "now if only you could go to work for me"
"Hah, you're not that good a trainer"
"You sure there aren't any hidden monkey's that want to take my place?"
"Oh you so left yourself open there, if I wasn't such a nice, kind, loving selfless daughter..."
"And so modest too!"
They smiled at each other and hugged for a minute before the stirring of Alyssa at the bottom of the bed distracted them both.
"Shoot" Lorelai said "I gotta go to work"
"Yes you do" Rory whispered with a smile "and I have to rough it out at home on the couch" she mock sighed "it's tough"
"One more word and I'll make sure you're working till midnight"
"huh" replied Rory but offered no other comment.
A/N: Ok, so that chapter was short with an abrupt ending and not much happened! But it was vital to the over all plan! What is that plan you ask? Well I really have no idea, you tell me. I'm trying to update as much as possible but school is really sucking it at times. Oh tell me how I went with the characters, hope they weren't too OOC. Please review and I will write more and hopefully better chapters. I'm open to all reviews *finally* thanks Lily36 and thank you so much to everyone who has review so far.
